[Defy General] Salo-S:
Hello my friends, i'm making this tutorial to help the people that have a Defy Plus (MB526) and can't use MIUI, becuz' this rom doesn't work on 2.3.6 kernels

THIS GUIDE ITS ONLY FOR DEFY+ WITH 2.3.6 KERNEL

And you will continue unable to downgrade to Froyo,

but

you will be able to use another kernel instead

This will give

First, i will talk about my Defy+

I was buyed it here in brazil, without any contract with any operator ( a retail phone )

I do not know whether my Defy it was BL7 or BL6, but I read in some forums that all the brazilian Defy Plus (retail) are BL7 (

Wrong info

, some Defy+ are BL6, maybe all those who use the factory firmware 4.5.1-134 DFP 133 Retail-BR, I really can not tell which, but that did not matter at this time)

EDIT: According to our friend called Chamelleon, all the Defy+ with BL7 can NOT downgrade using this method!

Thanks for the info mate!

So, one day some member of the xda, uploaded one chinese bootloader and kernel (in .sbf flash file)

*(I do not remember what member that posted it, but as soon as I find out I will give due credit it deserves!)

i decided to flash this sbf with other another sbf, and i make some steps to get any rom based on Froyo/CM7 Kernel workin' on my beatiful phone

Well, enough mumbo jumbo for today, let's get to what really interests

I want to clarify that I am

NOT

responsible if you kill your phone!

My phone died MANY times until I would obtain success in this feat

so, I will not give a damn if you kill your Defy!

You need:

-one Defy+, with 100% battery charged,

rooted and bootmenu with lastest recovery

installed

-RSD Lite v4.9

-some full stock rom in .sbf file in case of your phone gets bricked (i use the DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125, just

search on google

and you will find a lot of these sbf's)

-An MIUI Rom OR CM7Kernel.zip on your SDcard (this will be your newer kernel)

Let's go for the steps:

1-Download and Install RSDLite v4.9: http://www.mediafire.com/?ufxs9lft9q2xwnu

2-Download the sbf file: http://www.mediafire.com/?vdpp0nnr5f12e95

3-Open the RSD Lite, and on ... button select the Defy-BL6Downgrade.sbf file that you have downloaded

4-Turn off your Defy+, turn it on again in bootloader mode (power+vol up)

5-Connect your phone in cable usb, and select it on devices list

~this will be something like on this screenshot, take your refference~

6-Click "Start" button!

7-Wait some time, your phone will automatically reboot! ~PAY ATTENTION NOW~

8-An chinese bootlogo will appear, tap "vol down" button until when the blue led flashes

9-Now you get to bootmenu, enter in recovery and wipe data/cache, and flash some custom kernel and another rom (aka CM7 kernel or any rom that have kernel included, like MIUI)

Enjoy your defy+ with downgraded kernel :)

F.A.Q:

1-My phone doens't turn on! HEEEEEEEEELLP!

R: Download another full stock sbf for your defy+, maybe your defy+ can't be downgraded ( some issue with your bootloader, i think )

2-I can't wipe cache!

R: Yea, this chinese sbf corrupts the cache partition, you need to go on mounts and storage in recovery, and format cache.

3-My phone don't connect to RSD lite, Windows are searching drivers and stuck on this pass

R: Search for Motorola Drivers on google, install it and reboot your PC.

4-Can i do this without bootmenu installed?

R: No, you really need to get in custom recovery to wipe the data/cache partitions, becuz' this is necessary to install the newer rom/kernel.

5-These guide is too complicated, and your english is a bu**sh**!

R: Sorry, i can't solve this problem, unnafortunaly.
