Die2mrw007 Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Android 4.1.2 Jellybean for Motorola Defy and Defy+ All Credits to Quarx and CyanogenMod Developers for this project. Quarx is a well known developer at xda-developers forum and each of the motorola defy owners are proud to have such a talented developer working for the upbringing of their lovely Motorola Defy/Defy+. We do really owe to him for all the ports he made so far for Motorola Defy and Defy+ ^'> I structured this easy to understand tutorial for newbies, so I hope I have covered all the points in explaining the topic at the level best. Any inputs or suggestion or errors if any do feel to contact me so that I update this post accordingly. -Die2mrw007 Some Screenshots: [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=236 height=420] [img width=748 height=420] [img width=748 height=420] [img width=748 height=420] Download Link: ROM Download Link: For Defy MB525 (Download the latest build - sort with respect to date): Download Link for Defy MB525 For Defy+ MB526 (Download the latest build - sort with respect to date): Download Link for Defy+ MB526 The ROM file should be in this format: CM10-(build date)-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip Google Apps Package (gapps): Google Apps Package Full: Download Google Apps Package minimal (Gmail,Market,Gtalk,Synchronisation) [Recommended]: Download Kernel Files: Download Froyo Kernel Download Gingerbread Kernel Red Lens Battery Fix (Only for Defy Red lens and Defy+ user): Download Red lens Battery Fix Installation Procedure: Your phone need to be rooted for installing custom ROM.

Click on it and wait for your phone to reboot with the wonderful Jelly Bean operating system Bugs in this Nightly build: 1. Wifi-tethering (creating wifi-hotspot) 2. Video recording (it breaks the video movement...in simple terms it lags for 1 sec each 10 secs). This can be fixed by using third party video recording app - works fine with LG Camera app 3. DSP-Manager (Equalizer). Quarx - the developer behind this project will surely be coming up with fixes for this above mentioned bugs. Guess, the 100% stable version is so close. Although the nightly development builds didnt disappoint the users. The bugs mentioned arent really that major to look after and hence its negligible. Note:This is a Nightly build which means a development build and can be changed or updated as upon requirement and bug fixing if any. But believe me, the port is as perfect as stable. I myself using this build and so far its been a quite impressive ROM. Fast, smooth and performance + feature oriented. You will definitely love it Donate: If you like this ROM and want to help a hand to the developer behind this project, do feel free to make a donation by purchasing this app from Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.donatecm_10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discordless Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 1 - RSDlite with DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf 2 - Copy files to sd (CM10-20120903-NIGHTLY-mb526, gapps-jb-20120726-minimal) 3 - Install 2nd Then I follow the above steps (wipe data/cache etc, install).

Upon rebooting, the device is in the bootloader.The procedure you are attempting is wrong actually. I am sorry that I still didnt complete the rooting tutorial here: http://forum.gizmolord.com/modding-discussions/how-to-root-motorola-defy-(mb525)-and-motorola-defy-(mb526)/ The issue you are facing is because your phone isnt rooted successfully. Make sure you root your phone successfully by flashing with Chinese sbf file + firmware (rooted) unsigned file then install an application named "root checker" from playstore and check whether your phone is rooted successfully, if not...re-do the steps properly. Once the application states that your phone is rooted, carry on with this tutorial for installing CM10 Jellybean ROM! Untill you root your phone, you cant install any kind of ROM to your phone.

discordless Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Rootchecker says there is root access, does it make any difference? I tried the superone click method a lot of times, it didn't work (I had 236) so I found this one (with the above sbf) which was the only one working.

Now, the next step is to install Sinit.apk file and then enable it from within the app. After that, boot your phone in custom recovery by pressing volume down key when your phone boots (press volume down as soon as you see blue colored notification light).... Navigate to Recovery >> Custom Recovery >> Then select Wipe factory data Wipe cache then navigate to Advanced >> Wipe dalvik Wipe battery Then select "install from sd card"....select CM10 Jelly bean ROM then flash with gapps (minimal) Reboot Also, make sure you are flashing with correct ROM...flashing Defy ROM in Defy+ may lead 'not to boot'!

discordless Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Ok, these are my exact steps 1 - Clean everything up (format sdcard, etc). 2 - RDSlite with DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf (to start clean). 3 - Copy to sd: - rootcheck-36.apk - SndInitDefy_2.3.apk - CM10-20120903-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip - gapps-jb-20120726-minimal.zip - RedLensBatteryFix_Working.zip 4 - Install Root Check Basic and check for root access (Congratulations. This device has root access!). 5 - Install SndInitDefy 2.3 (install 2ndinit bootmenu > allow superuser > installation success) 6 - Boot into recovery 7 - Backup all (just in case) 8 - Recovery > Custom Recovery > "Wipe data/factory reset" + "Wipe cache partition" > Advanced > "Wipe Dalvik Cache" + "Wipe Battery Stats" 9 - Install zip from sdcard > Choose > CM10-20120903-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip (same for gapps-jb-20120726-minimal.zip). Installed without any errors whatsoever. 10 - Reboot Default Motorola logo shows up. Green light on. Cyanogen wheel up for the last 7 minutes. Take the battery out, reboot. Cyanogen logo up, animated again. I will let it sit for another 15mins max, if it doesn't start then I will consider it's locked in a bootloop or something. Blargh, I'm getting tired of this, If it doesn't work I will just install the default sbf. LE1 : Left it for a good 15mins, no good. Erased data/cache and rebooted. After 1min he screen got brighter (guess we're going somewhere, huh). Will let it sit for a couple of minutes, maybe it will star this time. LE2: Success! Now let's play with it Thanks a lot for this tutorial and the support ^'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the phone power boot and you see a blue notification light beside the earpiece speaker, press Volume (-) down button instantly. This will land you to CWM recovery. There you will need to select Recovery option then select Custom Recovery (do not select Stock recovery) Rest, follow with the provided tutorial here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
