Normally, the 2ndinit installation requires for it to download the bootmenu program before actually installing it.

Process is like this :

Fresh ROM - root - reboot - install 2ndinit - reboot - run Defy 2ndinit - choose Install 2ndinit Recovery - Select 1.0.7 (Latest Version)

After that it will download the BootMenu program so make sure your phone is connected to the internet.

After installation, it will state installation was successful and green LED will lit. Then turn off USB Debugging and reboot again.

To enter the Recovery BootMenu, press Volume Down when the blue LED is ON during red moto logo.

---------- Post added at 11:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 AM ----------

the options are:

- 0.6.1 (Stable for CM-based ROMs)

- 1.0.7 (Latest Version)

- Use your own URL

I didn't know we are supposed to choose the Stable one, sorry if I misled anybody.

But so far, I have been choosing the Latest Version because i see that the Stable is meant for CM-based ROMs, while I was still in stock Froyo when I first install the 2ndinit. :)

**** u right.. latest recovery.. sorry..

Defy+ instructions

God this really is a pita!

I have the Defy+, wth is it so friggin hard to find instructions for it?

I am on stock 2.3.6 GB, not froyo and I can't downgrade to Froyo (4.5.1-134_DFP-139 build) and imagine that I actually don't have to, right?

I want to install latest quarx JB ROM, wth do I have to do to get it running?

Where do I find the CM7+/CM9+ kernel, why is there no sticky kernel thread?

What I would have done is:

- Root

- Backup

- flash 2nd init recovery

- Wipe

- Flash kernel

- Flash JB ROM

Is this correct and where do I find the kernel for defy+?

I already rooted and CM7.2ed a Defy, but as I said this idea of not making a separate thread for the Defy+ is really not good imho.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT:

Found this, I think I don't need to flash any kernel as I am already on GB, correct?

So I am going to do this:

- Root

- Backup

- flash 2nd init recovery

- Wipe

- Flash JB ROM

Since I am already on the "highest" SBF version, I don't need to worry about warranty, I can just reflash my stock SBF (dl it already) through RSDLite after I installed JB, correct?
[Defy General] SIDANE99:
what kernel meh should use for defy red lens? GB kernel or froyo kernel.. i m confused bkoz i read this while upgradin to ics.. " Install Froyo kernel if you are flashing the Defy build (ex. if you own a green-lensed Defy) or a GB kernel if you are flashing the Defy+ build (ex. if you own a red-lensed Defy ) (Skip if you own Defy+!)"

Edit: nevamind..meh now know y... for red lens..gb kernel plus batery fix...

GPS on ICS CM9 Nightly

Hi folks,

I flashed my Defy with CM9 Nightly, everything works well (besides two suden bootloops), but there is no more GPS-device.... Neither GoogleMaps nor Navigon can get a signal. Does anyone know any help? By the way, I found <RomUpdater.208-ics.apk> at the index of defy-cm9, could this lead to any help?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Boot Loops DEFY INDIA Mobile

Hi sir (suttaroom),

I used the given method to install CM9-NIGHTLY-120714 on my Stock Defy. It booted well even i restarted 5 to 7 times...

After installig & update apps from playstore,it got into bootloops when i tried to reboot.

To my Luck ur instructions

1- Remove and re-insert the battery

2- Hold down simultaneously both the Power and Volume UP for approx 5-10sec and release

saved me i am able to get boot normally into mobile and use it normally...(didnt done any RSDlite SBF install).

i have gone through ur posts that INDIA SBF is making this problem..

My questions are

1.) in my case do i need to do a flash with froyo CEE nordic version and have to again Flash CM9 or can we fix this with any other solution as i am able to boot into my DEFY.

Please provide me the link to download froyo CEE nordic version

2.) After doing the Battery Calibtation can i uninstall that APP ?

3.) Is there an option where i can remove picasa connection with gallery and dont know sometimes gallery not displaying thumbnails..

Files I used to flash CM9 :

SndInitDefy_2.0.apk

CM9-NIGHTLY-120714-Defy.zip

kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip

gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
[Defy General] suttaroom:

In-fact i have waited full night for ur reply , Please reply to my next action plan ,thanks in advance..

Seems we have to keep a ALERT message in the first page of this thread for INDIA DEFY's
[Defy General] suttaroom:

[Defy General] rajendraperumalla:
Thanks uu suttaroom for the GOO.

Now i did only kernal update.. as of now seems no bootloops and working fine , if any thing goes wrong i will defnetly do a RSD LITE as per ur instructions..

and Defnetly i will inform u again if this kernal update is Ok r it MISBehaves...

i flashed below files to update my Froyo kernal to GB kernal...

1.) GB KERNAL file name :CM9_Kernel-signed.zip

2.) ICS Defy Red Lense Battery Fix.zip

after a boot into CM9 once again i flashed

3.)4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel.zip

Hi, I have in plan to do my first Android flashing, I have a Green lens Defy with stock Froyo Italian ROM, on phone info I have:

Android version: 2.2.2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-ga28fcc4

Build number: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-3

I have to do also this "12- Install zip from sdcard>>KERNEL"?

What kernel file I have to use? Because there isn't any link under Green Lens Defy..

If I flash with CM9 then I can reflash it with RSDLite and Italian default SBF?

Thank you very much
[Defy General] AlexGraves:
just try with your stock froyo kernel first ... :)

just wipe data, cache, & dalvik from custom recovery, and then install the CM9 zip.

I have been using my stock froyo kernel from the beginning, and it hasn't shown any problem yet.
[Defy General] ovius:
First of all, I'd like to thank you for the excellent post. It worked like a charm. It's looking great, but I have 2 problems:

1. sometimes I select an application and it crashes ( not so important)

2. Camera and some other apps don't recognize my SD card (external storage). What shall I do?

thanks

[Defy General] suttaroom:
1- crashing apps: reinstall the apps and try.

2- sd card: format the card and reinsert.
[Defy General] ovius:
nope, it's not working. whem i hit storage command it crashes, and i got again the system settings menu.

Motorola Defy TELUS Canada SBF

Hello,

I installed the ROM successfully. (First time thanks btw! :)) This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I instal my Telus SBF?

-EDIT- In my infinite stupidity and noobishness, I installed the Telus default sbf which undid everything that I had just done. Now my phone is boot looping with the standard froyo on it. Laugh if you must but please help.

-Second EDIT- Got it back on and working on my network! Much obliged!

Display turned off when i call some one

After installing this ROM, i am facing two problems at the moment

1. Problem related to call.

Before installing this CM9, i was on stock Froyo Rom (UK),

Now After Installing ICS CM9, Everything working fantastic except that when i call someone, then display is turned off everytime (whether i bring mobile near my ear or not). and display is normal after 3-5 seconds after Call is disconnecting from other end. if i call someone, then i cant disconnect it as display is switched off as soon as i press "dial" button

2. Problem related to Video Recording

Flash cant be turned on during video recording

No problem when i receive call.

best thread for Noobs!

Thanks a lot Suttaroom for this thread..Am a complete noob & with the help of your first post managed to move to cm9 after a nightout. yupps got some problem with the stock SEA15 ROM although the fault was mine as while rebooting i used the power-on switch(haha!). Flashed with nordic rom & alls well with the world..

However have one query. I had to use baseband switcher to get the freq right for india after flashing with nordic stock froyo..However am facing a unique problem of mobile data connection going of from time to time especially if the display is off for more than 10 mins.I then need to switch off & then On the data conenction for it to re-connect. Is there anyway to enable the background data connection?

Cheers!

Thanks for this excellent topic.

[Defy General] sajjadashraf:
Problem related to call was due to screen protector covering proximity sensor. After removal of screen protector, problem is solved completely.

However problem related to Video Recording (Flash) is still there.

However, its excellent ROM with regular updates from the developer.

Love the ROM, made my defy so much nicer to use.

However the battery seems to deplete quickly with very little use.

Since I've updated I've not used my phone anywhere near as much as I did when it was on stock.

Is there something in this ROM thats making the battery run out so quickly?.
[Defy General] cmorephotos:
I used the above to get back to stock but got stuck with RED Moto logo.

I found the post below in another thread and this resolved it so thanks to both and hope it helps others.

I went from Stock Blur to CWM 9 in this thread and then back to Stock purely because of the battery life.
[Defy General] suttaroom:
INcluding this into OP
[Defy General] cmorephotos:
Just an update on battery.

When on stock originally battery lasted a good few days with medium to low use.

After upgrading to the ROM, which worked perfectly and made the device so much better, I was lucky to get a day with minimal use.

Now after going back to stock on the 26th at midday my phone has only just gone off. 4 days, admittedly minimal use.

Want this ROM but with stock battery life.
[Defy General] suttaroom:
best option would be to install 4.1.2 .. its brilliant. CM10
[Defy General] cmorephotos:
I thought the battery drain was the same in that ROM?.

First of all, thanks a lot for this post, it helped me a lot.

I'm having an issue with my Defy (Bayer), USB mode is not working; I select it (USB Mass Storage) on the menu and my computer plays the sound when a USB device has been disconnected but never shows up my phone on Windows Explorer. I've uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers and Motorola software.

I was on CM9 Epsylon3 - [ CM9-NIGHTLY-121118-Defy+.zip	2012-Nov-18 03:24:55 134.3M ]

I could see the SD card mounted as USB, but could not open it on my PC to see any files,

( my phone charges via USB ),

so to check if my USB drivers were OK i restored back to CM7 and it works fine.

I'm not sure, but i read somewhere that applying the battery fix, also solves the USB problem ?

Try using an OEM cable (which is meant for both data and charging. Not all cables do this- some only charge )

Try re-installing drivers

I'm using original cable.

I've re-installed the drivers.

Hey guys just a request more than anything if you could, when posting threads under this subforum (Q&A) to give us some description on your problem. Questions like this are not helpful: "my phone is not working help me" tell us if you have a Virgin mobile version or a normal version, tell us if your bootloader is unlocked and your rooted, also what rom your on and what happened to get your error\problem\issue. PLEASE I BEG YOU search the forum first before asking your question, look under general as all the rooting\unbricking\reverting to stock guides are there....

IF your thread has only a :) or similar it will get reported for deletion\locking

Greetings! I'm about to decide to unlock the bootloader using a method of payment and that gave me check with s1tool RECONOZIGNED CERTIFICATE NOT, but I'm a little hesitant because they do not know if there really is a good ROM 100% stable as the official version 2.1, not have problems with the lights on the keyboard, video recording that is not delayed audio and photos are of good quality

I recommend paying for unlocking the bootloader or not? that benefits would have to unlock the bootlaoder and new ROMs with custom kernels

I hope I can help, Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] DarksonDAP:
When i needed to unlock my bootloader, i didn't pay anything, and the job was done perfectly. If you want a stable ROM with LOTS of features, install MINICM 7.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 00DSoul00:
If I also did not pay anything for unlocking the bootloader, but as I get the message RECONOZIGNED CERTIFICATE NOT, on the net I found a service where you can unlock besides paying and is released ... I hope more opinions to decide, so any comments are welcome, Thanks!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SmG67:
Listen mate :) The services you're thinking of paying for unlock your simlock, not your bootloader. A sim-unlock enables you to use sim-cards from other providers on your phone, The bootloader unlock enables you to run a different kernel on your phone. Sim-unlocking and bootloader-unlocking are different things.

unlocking your bootloader is safe is your phone is:

A: sim-unlocked from the start (semc-simlock-certificate)

B: sim-unlocked using an EMMA/IMEI code from your provider (which usually is provided for free after your initial contract-period)

C: sim-unlocked using third-party software (which you have to pay for).

Currently you're sim-locked to a provider i guess, since your sim-lock certificate is not recognised, so ask them for an unlock code, after which you can unlock your bootloader yourself.

The 2.1 firmware provided by Sony-Ericsson mostly works fine with all hardware-features your phone has to offer and is easy to use, although it could be a bit more responsive.

There are a few hacks that will allow it to run a bit faster if you just root your phone (no sim-unlocking or bootloader-unlocking needed), like enabling JIT, and overclocking. Those options are free, relatively safe and still will give you full usage of your phone's capabilities.

I think you've got an X10MiniPro, so if you want to discover what custom roms can do, try MiniCM7Pro by Paul-xxx, or ArcMini Nxt, which will give you Gingerbread android (2.3) on the kernel you currently have on your phone (with no need to sim-unlock or bootloader-unlock your phone).

Just look in the X10MiniPro Development section, you can find them there.

I hope it's a bit clearer for you now :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] 00DSoul00:
Thank you very much for the info, now I x10 mini pro I have only one network available to use as the others are not released (I can only use the SIM card of a company) when you buy it could use any SIM card from any operator, but installing the ROM MiniCm7 pro v21 (met all the requirements and thought of nothing to unlock the bootloader or anything)

After installing the ROM MiniCM7 v21 pro team run out of signal and could not use any SIM card, bring it to a technician and he gave me the solution is to change the IMEI, change IMEI and I'm like this now, I mean I can only use a SIM card, I tried the vast majority of stock ROMs for ROM kernel including MiniCM7 pro v21 which is what I take the release and has not to happen

I've tried most ROMs to stock kernel and all have a problem with the lights on the keyboard and the problem of grbar audio video (audio is delayed) on occasion get the message of forced closure, I tried the fix for lights keyboard but do not work, besides the ROMs are slowed when installing applications that I have the version now in Stock

Thank you very much, I hope more answers to find out more about the issue and see whether or not I should unlock the bootloader
