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。。。

THX for the reply

1. CM7 is not ICS. Its a mod of gingerbread. CM9 will be ICS.
2. You can back up your phone with clockwork recovery once you install it.
3. If you unlock your bootloader you always have chance of losing warranty. I did it and had ATT replace my phone no questions asked.
4. GO to dev section and click on the CM7 thread.
I recommend reading a lot!

tnx 4 answer
i read always a lot
one more question ...
if cm7 is not ICS and that version uses ICS framework and interface
what else is missing ? just the kernel ?
tnx
That rom is nothing more than the CM7 Weekly 4, re-themed to look like ICS...it is not ICS and any terms of "functionality"
i read the installation guide for cm7 ...
doesn't it need to unlock the bootloader ?
what's the way to root i have to use ?
i found this Root, Sideload & Tether Your Atrix 4G in the wiki page ... dated 19th February 2011
is that the right one ?
tnx 4 ur support

The one you mentioned is obsolete. You really need to read a lot more before you do anything on your phone.

you are obviously not reading carefully enough. if you're sure the info is written many many times, then go look for it. there is PLENTY of good walkthroughs to take you through the process especially swiftks's. this is not your baby daycare for us to spoonfeed you everything. figure things out yourself. you've already gotten a lot of good links to follow.
general steps (i will not hold your hand):
1. unlock your bootloader with pudding sbf
2. install romracer's recovery with fastboot
3. install the rom of your choice after wiping data/cache/system/preinstall/boot
4. install kernel that you want
5. reboot your phone.
if you can't follow those directions or figure it out from that, then you probably shouldn't be doing this in the first place. all this info is so easy to figure out.

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!

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!!

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

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.

[Q] MS2Ginger 4.0 on A953 currently on MILS2_U6_4.1-22

hello all
the nob video was cute .. :good:
Now, as you can see from the title, I have a A953 milestone 2.
Stock for this moto was asia retail froyo 2.2 , then I put this MIUI ROM which is quite OK.
BuildInfos:
Android version : 2.3.4
Release Codename : REL
System version: 64.1.22.A953.Retail.en.GB
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.60.00
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9.-g7d2667a
API LEVEL : 10
CPU ABI : armeabi-v7a
Manufacturer : motorola
Bootloader : 0x0000
CPU ABI2 : armeabi
Hardware : mapphone_umts
Radio : unknown
Board : milestone2
Brand : motorola
Device : umts_milestone2

Fingerprint : motorola/RTGB/umts_milestone2:2.3.4/MILS2_U6_4.1-22/1317097892:user/release-keys
Host : zin22lnxdroid30
ID : MILS2_U6_4.1-22
Model : MotoA953
Product : RTGB
Tags : release-keys
Type : user
User : kxcr46
I want to know if I can go and install the MS2Ginger 4.0 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
Is said " - support for Defy, Defy+, Milestone 2, Bravo" so I assume that it can be installed on A953. If so , do I have to follow all the steps for Defy ? Or just to follow the standard procedure for installing a new ROM ? factory reset> RSD Lite> reboot> root ?
The reason I want to change is that wifi disconnects or does not connect to all wifi routers. With some, everything is fine, but the ratio is 50/50 %. All the new smartphones come with the "- wifi channels 12, 13, 14 enabled" which are not functional now on my A953.
This ROM MS2Ginger 4.0 has the channels operational.
Will this GB 4.0 drain more battery than actual 2.3.4 ?
If you know another option of better ROM that has those channels activated feel free to let me know; it seems that GB 4.0 is a bit too much for a milestone 2
Thank you for your time.
I see you read the Defy's thread..
This is the milestone 2 thread for ms2ginger.. Just read it, is very very clear what do have to do to install the rom..

Thank you again. But there are no files in the download link neither google or dev-host.
EDIT: there are files , but hard to see ..
At the step number 10 , right at the point where I try to restore the MS2Ginger4.0 , from the dev link , I get "no image file found" .
ClockworkMod recovery v2.5.0.8 is installed . which should work with *.tar files ... as inside MS2Ginger4.0 there is a nandroid.md5 file and system.ext3.tar, nothing more...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169038 those are the steps I follow.
thank you for some light
I think CWM5 should work..
But yeah you're right it should work with .tar files (I think ;o)
Only restore system and did you put the complete folder on the sd?
(There should be: /clockworkmod/backup/"ms2gingerfolder"/ -> and there the .tar file)

I have to edit / downgrade sbf from attachment "downgrade_for_bl=3.rar" with MotoAndroidDepacker, according to grayed lines, then RSDlite to flash it and then find an nandroid backup of froyo system and restore it via clockwork recovery.
I tried already to flash "downgrade_for_bl=3.rar" without editing with MotoAndroidDepacker, according to grayed lines. And it worked , I got PASS, but the nandroid backup cannot be flashed onto this SBF (unedited). So i guess i have to edit SBF first , flash it , and then , flash nandroid .
Please tell me I'm not wrong
Thank you .
"Great news" phone bricked ... not sure what to do .. i tried to flash the initial SBF " MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E1014.0R_UCXMILE2GBQWRTGB_P016_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF" with CMD prompt as Administrator but no effect.
I have boot-loop with red "M" . If camera button + vol down + power pressed Moto enters the Boot recovery . The phone recognizes the USB cable when put " ready for programming" , RSD v5.6 don't.
Some ideas ?
uninstalled RSD 5.6, installed RSD 4.9 , restart windows 7 x64 , phone in boot recovery , RSD recognizes the phone , flashed "MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E1014.0R_UCXMILE2GBQWR TGB_P016_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF" all ok . This fbs is quite a resilient bacteria.
can someone provide a froyo nandroid backup for milestone 2? ... hmm ?

I know that English clearly isn't your first language, but are you aware of what you said?
A 'nob' is another word for a ****, a todger, a bell-end... a penis!!
Edit: just re-read your first post and laughed out loud!
Yeahh ..=)) I know , u can make fun of me 'cos I'm totally stupid in this field of android, sbfs, basebands , and I have no fu*** idea on how to change properly the OS. Btw , some devs also don't speak english by heart, and the tutorials are made for this "club" where ppl are familiar with terms and steps, imagine that is quite difficult to reach the target of having a functional phone following some instructions and mind****ting errors at the same time. So ,.. I'm an android looser but I'll let you know when I'll flash MS2Ginger 4.0, till then don't watch porn too much, it kills neurons )) (...is this friendly fire or am I wrong? )

The installation is from point 1 to 10.
Please be aware that it's a few months old (there are newer builds) and it also covers some performance hints (that may not be necessary with a newer build).

An advice, make Full Backup of current ROM/Firmware before doing anything with device you are willing/thinking to try.
I'm using Huawei Ascend y511. so can't do that, but i believe "CN" stands for Chinese and "EN" sure for English. regarding recovery language, for me i get two different modes, recovery and factory setting i believe. Stock recovery for my mobile is in English and the other is Chinese. But, in case you get chinese recovery, i think it can be replaced with "Custom Recovery (English)".
Once Stock/Custom ROM is installed/flashed, you sure can change language option to English or Chinese as mentioned about ROM languages (Not for recovery).
Point is that; once ROM is installed/flashed & you are satisfied with it and you also got backup of current Kitkat ROM and you find recovery is in CN. You can restore ROM to Kitkat or in case you don't care about warranty and can flash/install Custom recovery(English language) without going into CN recovery. then i think it shouldn't be a problem.
this rom work fine with my device
