This is not a how-to, just notes I’m putting down for myself, post-op. That’s why I also make note of the version numbers I used, and it could be not all of the steps were\/are necessary (haven’t tried streamlining the process yet), but this is somewhat how it worked out for me; YMMV.<\/p>\n

First, a listing of everything to download.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. sbf_flash<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. The SBF (System Binary File) of your existing system<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Framaroot<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. 2nd Init<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. TWRP Recovery for the Defy(+)<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. update_recovery.zip<\/a><\/li>\n
  7. CM11<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. Gapps<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Full notes:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Get sbf_flash<\/a> and the SBF (System Binary File) of your existing system. For me this was “Android 2.3.6 Blur_Version.45.0.2310.MB526.NordicsRetail.en.EU”, got it from Droid Developers<\/a>. This is not strictly speaking necessary, but they will save your ass if and when you screw up<\/a> and have no other means of reflashing the phone available anymore.<\/li>\n
    2. Get Framaroot<\/a> (1.9.1) and install it. It’s the first rooting app that actually worked for me, so naturally I also donated<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    3. Use Framaroot to root the device and install su on it.<\/li>\n
    4. Get 2nd Init<\/a> (2.3) and install it.<\/li>\n
    5. Use the 2nd Init app to install 2nd Init recovery.<\/li>\n
    6. Get TWRP Recovery for the Defy(+)<\/a> (2.6.3.0), update_recovery.zip<\/a>, CM11<\/a> (11-20140325-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip), fixed Gapps zip<\/a> (kk4.4.2-minimal-no_wizard) and put them on the SD card.<\/li>\n
    7. Shut down the phone, then boot it up and during boot, when the led flashes blue, press volume down. This gets you into custom recovery.<\/li>\n
    8. Flash TWRP Recovery zip onto the phone. (Factory wipe? Reboot into recovery?)<\/li>\n
    9. (Probably superfluous) Flash update_recovery.zip onto the phone (Reboot into recovery?).<\/li>\n
    10. Flash CM11 onto the phone. (Wipe Dalvik & Data?)<\/li>\n
    11. Boot into shiny new OS. Play around.<\/li>\n
    12. (Optional) Reboot into recovery, flash Gapps onto the phone.<\/li>\n
    13. (Optional) If you screw up, ungzip the sbf file, put the phone into bootloader mode (power off, then power on + volume up), hook it up with your computer via usb and do a `sudo sbf_flash ungzipped_sbf_file`. When it’s finished (takes a while), get to stock recovery (power + volume down to boot), do a factory reset, then start over from the beginning. (sbf_flash needs to be chmod +x.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
