Cyanogenmod v9 Update

Can't wait, this is why I love owning an android <3
 
Well as soon as they can get it running on the Exynos chipset the better :) will be worth while to see how it performs on the SGS2...which I should be getting this weekend. :D
 
I see there is an "unofficial" nightly for Moto Defy :) Will wait a bit until things are more stable
 
Soooo, I messed up... :cry: :cry:
I had been running Cyanogenmod 7 for several months, and just couldn't help myself when I heard about the nightly CM9 for the Motorola Defy (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=jordan). Somewhere something went wrong and I got stuck in a bootloop. After trying several SBFs I think I made matters just a little bit worse. (I think I flashed a newer full SBF which didn't work, and now I can't go back to a lower version due to eFuse).

Now, the only ROM that I can flash is JORDN_U3_97.21.51 which gives me an ancient Android version where the phone part and most apps don't work.

How can I get things back up to CM7 or CM9? I've read through so many guides and forum posts that I'm probably more confused now than when I started.

Did you do a backup before you flashed the new one?
 
Uhmm... no :o

I just did a backup of my apps and data, but that's not going to help me now.

I'm not familiar with SBF but what I would try is wipe phone data and dalvik cache from recovery mode, then flash the copy of CM7 that you had before, and then you can restore your apps and data
 
I think I've tried that already but it didn't want to accept the CM7 ROM and just went into a bootloop again. I'll just try it again tonight in case I missed a step previously.
 
If for some reason you did Flash a SBF that you cannot downgrade hopefully you have a bayer lense and you can flash a Defy+ SBF
 
How do I know if I have a bayer lense? Or is it a matter of try and see if it works?
 
Also, which Defy+ SBF do you recommend? And is it known to solve this problem or is it just something to try?
I appreciate any help, thanks guys.
 
Halleluja! :D :D :D :D :D
My baby is back! This has been a painful two days without my phone. I finally got it back on Cyanogenmod 7 using Method 2 under the Common Problems heading of this guide. I've tried similar steps previously, but must have missed a step somewhere which is why it didn't work then.

Thanks for your willingness to help. I think I'll stay on CM7 for a while until I build up enough recklessness to try it again. :p

hehe just remember to backup the whole rom next time, then you can tinker as much as you like
 
One of the reasons I love my Desire HD I guess is that I have an RUU with original ROM/recovery and HBOOT radio and all. So doesn't matter how bad I break it(Software) if I can get to HBOOT ie the pre recovery screen I can get back to stock, by plugging in a USB and double clicking on a exe.

I must admit I am not a fan of Pure CM, but unfortunately most of the custom ROM's out there use it as a base so it matters that they get it right.
 
hey, so installed this update and its very fast but unusable!!!
no google play? can't add a google account?
whats the point? or am i missing something....
