[n00B-HOW2] GET ONTO ICS CM9(EPSYLON 3) FROM FROYO STOCK

[AlexGraves]

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

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.

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

1- crashing apps: reinstall the apps and try.
2- sd card: format the card and reinsert.

nope, it's not working. whem i hit storage command it crashes, and i got again the system settings menu.
thks anyway.
I can't format the card from the phone menu just from my pc, and i've done this already.

Always format the card (from wherever possible ) before using it in a new rom..

Hey! Thank you so much for the detailed steps. My Defy is now running on Android 4 and now I'm unable to pick any calls from my mobile. If someone tries calling me, they get a busy tone after a single ring and even I don't get any notification of call in the mobile. Can somebody help me to fix the problem?

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

Hey! Thank you so much for the detailed steps. My Defy is now running on Android 4 and now I'm unable to pick any calls from my mobile. If someone tries calling me, they get a busy tone after a single ring and even I don't get any notification of call in the mobile. Can somebody help me to fix the problem?

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

Thanks for this excellent topic.
I follow your instructions step by step and all went well. I can now enjoy ICS on my DEFY MB525 :angel::highfive:

 

[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.

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.

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?.

1- Remove and re-insert the battery

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

3- The screen should display

6- The rsd should display phone connected or connected

7- click on Start .. wait ... wait .. wait ..

8- it should say PASS >> only then do you remove the USB cable.

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.

What we need to do?
We are launching Stock Recovery and wiping cache and data.


Use below mentioned steps:
1. Remove battery from phone and then reinsert;
2. Press and hold Volume Down button along with Power button till you see Android icon with an exclamation mark (!);
3. Once you see android icon and exclamation mark release both buttons and now press volume up and volume down button together;
4. Above steps will launch Android System Recovery window (Stock Recovery);
5. Now “wipe data/factory reset” by pressing volume down key and to select press power key;
6. On the next screen it will prompt you to confirm this option by selecting “yes – delete all use data” select this option with power key again;
6. Also “wipe cache partition” from power key as mentioned above;
7. Now select “reboot system now”;

After above steps it will take around 3-5 minutes for first boot and your phone will now boot in normal state.

If the above steps does not resolves the issue then I would recommend you to use some other SBF depending on your region.

Hope this helps!

I went from Stock Blur to CWM 9 in this thread and then back to Stock purely because of the battery life.
