[Q] FROM SHADOW 134 to CM9 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i dont know which threads to follow guys
i bought a moto defy with red lens (brayer) since January and when i got home
was very xcited to customize it so came to xda developers and got started (on the day of purchase) ...
downloaded superoneclick and some bits and pieces and flashed my phone...
well at first flash it stoped working
this is what happen when i don't read... stupid me
eventually i got it working back after 2 long struggling days ...
i flashed it with shadow 134 i think .. and after i got it working, i never tried anything else i was fed up...
But now i want to sort my defy out again...
This is my device info:
System version: 45.0.10.MB526.Retail.en.GB
android vers: 2.3.4
Baseband: EPU93_U_00.5F.00
Kernel version: [email protected] #1
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-10
so by all this info, i am able to understand that i have a fixed sbf which is CG6 (some1 corect me if i am wrong)
On top of that i have: (SUPERUSER, DEFY 2NDINIT 2.0, SYSTEM RECOVERY) installed on my defy
its a bit scary for me to go and flash it without any advice like before and get stuck again
so if any1 has any idea how can i move up to CM9 without having lots of trouble
i agree i can have a bit of trouble but not to much..
theres so many threads to follow and am not able to choose which one
Any Defy Xpert arround who may help
Thanks for Reading my lengthy post

[S+][ROM/Firmware] GB 2.3.6 - 3 Files - rooted I9000XXJVU by Stock+

Here is a latest ROM I9000XXJVU, rooted by Stock+ Team!
3 file ROM Type: 3 Files for flashing with ODIN (with PIT's & Re-partition) ~180MB
Kernel: I9000XXJVU Rooted (by Grooby)
3 file ROM Link: http://hotfile.com/dl/140338247/ef4c33c/3file_PDA_I9000XXJVU_CSC_XXJVU_MODEM_I9000XXJVU_ROOTED_stock.zip.html (by $omator)
NO MIRRORS PLEASE!
Just to make sure (and to avoid FC), please do clean cache and full wipe/factory reset after and prior to flashing.
(Remember that factory reset deletes all user installed apps!)
Remember to connect your phone to pc and run "RunMe.bat" after flashing, to copy all necessary binaries and profit with full ROOT!
Enjoy!

Need Help
Hi,
I installed your firmware.
Problems:
1)While using bluetooth handsfree, after the call ends, iam getting FC error - process.com.android.phone has stopped...
2)2/3 times the phone hangs.Need to take battery out.
3)2/3 times screen goes black,hangs and rebooted.
Solution Tried:
Installed FC fix for XXJVU. Now the phone FC problem didn't come.
But the battery drains very very fast.
Pls help me with a solution.
Thanks.
plz remove the S+ prefix in the name of the thread coz it's confusing, an S+ (i9001) member might flash it and brick his device.
Is this a stock GB rom? Asking because i want to remove this damn ICS CM9 Rom, half the crap i use doesnt even work :/ Youtube, Video Recording, USB File transfers.. etc
My phone information:
Model number: GTI9100

ICS CM9 IS still in (early) development and You expect it to be perfectly working? LOL Only thing not working there for me are MMS so looks like u flashed in wrong way? I recorded video just last night,USB works fine(u need diffrent drivers) and YT does the job. Anyway YES this one is stock+root as title says. 3 files to flash with ODIN
Looking at your phone model, you are in the wrong forum.
This is only for GT-I9000 aka Galaxy S
Yours is GT-I9100, which is Galaxy S2
So please check it on Galaxy S2 area.

Bricked Phone and now alive but with issues

Hello all,
I am kinda new into the Android world as until now I have used the old symbian.
I got myself a Motorola defy and installed a custom rom (cyanogen). At one point I decided to get back to stock rom and after flashing with RSD Lite a sbf file from the internet phone went dead.
After multiple flashes I got it alive with a chinese firmware but it sucks. Now I just want to go back to either original ROM or install a new one.
Info about running ROM now:
System version: 45.1.14.ME525+.ChinaRetail.en.CN
Model Number: ME525+
Android Version:2.3.6
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.02

What was your original SBF? Do you remember atleast the area(locale) and carrier? If yes than you can search for your SBF from the link in the prev post and do a RSD Lite flash. Also do a data wipe from stock after or before doing a SBF flash.
And Chinese SBFs can be pretty dangerous as they are known to burn up the LED!!!
device was brought from Romania with no network branding or any other thing. other then this I have no other info...
Could you please suggest a rom for me to flash as I kinda became sick of trying.
I give you 3 variants!
pic one!(or all)

and lose some time to study
Thank you..I flashed that and it seems it worked. New firmware is now running...Chinese junk is out. My questions for you will be:
My intention is to install a custom ROM (cyanogen or perhapsMoKee_OS as I see you use that) so, other then to root the device there is anything that I have to do?!
At one point I owned a WinMob device and for those I had to flash sections of code for the GSM handeling. Is the case for this here now...or I just root and install new ROM

Also noticed that on this ROM camera is not working!...is this normal?!
first of all!
make a "wipe data/factory reset" from recovery
reflash sbf and check your working camera!
dont understand whay it not work
anyway to instal a custom rom you need to root the phone and instal Sndinit_142 or 2.00 version!
try first to solve the problem with camera
hope is not broken by chineze rom(usual it burn only the flash led)
if you cant fix the camera must put on the phone an oficial rom and go to waranty
(need to inform better about your oficial rom on romanian softpediaforum for defy+)

Is there a chance you may have green lens camera?? How to know? Well first thing how old is your defy? And did you use the camera with chinese ROM?
Best way to check:
When you open the camera app and camera initialise do you hear a very tiny sound? If yes its a red lens, the sound is of the lens focusing..
However first try what vaserbanix suggested..
Sndinit_142 and ClockworkMod Recovery serve the same purpose?!
I sow that on a cyanogen oficial tutorial they recomand using "the latest version of bootmenu (includes the latest version of the ClockworkMod Recovery):"

snd init is an app that installs CWM on your phone! First install snd init. When you open the app you will see two options: latest recovery and stable recovery. Use latest recovery(recommended). BTW what happenned to your camera>?
I have not used camera with chinese rom as in that rom it was not working also. Camera is a green unit. Phone has 1 year since it was bought
I know defy+ have not green lenses
(Perhaps I m wrong informed)
Is good to flash again last sbf!
Root it, instal Sndinit and in
GENERAL section can find a thread
named DEFY+ by niksy+, some custom rom for it.

Yes you are correct.. Defy+ has red lens! I am almost sure the issue of camera not working is due to presence of green lens in his Defy! I am not sure if all the Froyo SBFs has green lens support! So, you flash an SBF and try installing a CM with fix for green lens and check if camera works.
You may try one another thing before flashing though I am not sure it will work! Try installing Camera360 . In the app go to settings and check hardware support (or something similar ) mode. Sorry, I don't have my Defy right now so can't tell you the exact setting! See if it recognise your camera and if it works. You may also install elixir2. I think there is a camera check there!!

Marius you have a Defy right?!
@pranks
I believe marius flashed on defy an sbf China for defy+(him or some oane else) without know what he do!

Read what is wrote under the battery!

Sorry if I mixed you guys up...but I have Defy...not Defy+.
Perhaps this is why camera is not working, after I flashed the rom suggested I also sow that device is recognised as beeying MB526 but in fact I have MB525 Defy....
did you root it? and instal Sndinit?
Yep we got it that it is a Defy .. Do things one by one... Check your camera then root and install snd init and flash> instal camera mods. If your cam still don't work go claim warranty!
Phone state at this point:
Installed one of the ROM's suggested by you guys(first in the list of 3)!...Problem with this rom is that camera is not working, and second of all it drains the battery in only 1 day with limited activity on the device.
Device is recognised as MB526 but in fact on device itself is writen MB525.
Information about device:
System version: 45.0.1390.MB526.Retail.en.FR
Model number: MB526 -------------> is this normal?!
Baseband: EPU93_U_00.60.00 ----------> is this baseband ok?! for me it seems it drains batttery rather to quickly
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e [email protected]#1
Phone is rooted and 2init installed with version 0.61 used from the 2 of them. I have blue light on boot and I can enter menu.
When I boot "Android BootMenu" under Custom Recovery and try:
- wipe data/factory reset - it says:
"Wiping data...
Formating DATA....
Formating CACHE....
Formating SDEXT....
No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
Formating SDCARD:/.android_secure...

E:Can't open /tmp/recovery.log"
----> when try to wipe cache:
----Wiping Cache....
Formatting CACHE:....

E:Can't open /tmp/recovery.log"
3. why trying to wipe Davik Cache:
E:can;t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(No such file or direcory)
Dalvik Cache wiped/
Now when try to apply new ROM from SDCARD:
---Installling :SDCARD:"ROM.zip"
Finding update package...
Opening update package....
Installing update...
E:Can't make /tmp/update-binary
Installation aborted.
I Have no ideea why it generates errors!

I want to start over

Hey everyone!
I've been lurking here for a while, and I've been very impressed with the roms that have emerged, and particularly the work of Pika, without whom my phone would no doubt be rather boring.
I've made mistakes, nearly bricked my phone, lost my IMEI, overclocked it too far, all sorts of fun stuff that usually turns out to be the best way to learn new things.
Currently, my phone works fine, but I've got an itch, as I often get with computers, to wipe everything and start again, to make it as fast as possible.
This is my current setup:
Model: U8800pro
Android version: 4.0.4
Baseband version: 404029
Kernel version: 3.0.8-perf-g4fc0f23 [email protected] #1 Tue Oct 16 13:37:27 CST 2012
Shendu Mod version: ShenDu-U8800pro-v2.0.4-121016
But I really can't figure out how to go back. Every single stock firmware I've downloaded, causes an error when I try to install it (using the dload on an sdcard method). Does anyone have any ideas how to revert all the way back to Froyo (or GB would suffice I guess, but of course I'd like to take it all the way back and start completely afresh).
Thanks for your time.

Just use the stock dload method from huawei but use the usb cable to power the phone, with the battery removed.
That should stop the error with flashing.
Thread moved. OP please have a look to the forum rules. Thanks

why don't you update your kernel from 2.2 to 2.3? And I think 4.1.2rom is not fluency for our defy . if you have the kernel 2.3,you may update to kitcat~
update your phone . you need pay attention to the following list .
1.Use the software named RSD,the file is sbf ,sbf will change your bl,so, you need to know what's your phone bl;
2.you need to now what's your defy's lens,it's red or green;
3.you need a rom which is .zip some rom don't need to think about the kernel but someone discriminate.
o it's the first time I reply in English,if I say something wrong or you can't understand.please forgive it . haha I have a bad English. and I think I need someone to fix my grammer error。and when i speek english I don't know what I said above。。。
