Download the Android 4.0.4 ICS by CM9 zip ROM file from HERE.
Download Google Apps file from HERE. This file is required so that your phone will feature all Google applications for Android after the installation of the ROM. Click that link to learn more and to download the correct Gapps file for your phone. However, if you don’t know which one to choose, then simply download the CM9 Gapps zip as the ROM you’re about to install is CyanogenMod 9 based.
Move the ICS ROM and Gapps zip packages on your phone’s internal sdcard. Do not extract their contents, simply place the files where I’ve told you without the need of creating any subfolders.
Power OFF your smartphone and then boot into recovery mode. Do it by pressing and holding simultaneously the ‘volume down’ and ‘power ON’ keys. When in recovery mode move to the next step.
Now, select ‘ wipe data/ factory reset’ and confirm its action. Return to the recovery mode main screen.
Select ‘install zip from sd card’ and then ‘choose zip from internal sd card’. Find the Android 4.0.4 ICS zip file you moved on your phone at step 3. Confirm the installation and wait until it completes.
Now, you need to install the Google Apps. Repeat the actions at step 6, only that instead of the ROM file, you need to select the gapps.zip file. Confirm the installation.
When the ROM and the Gapps files have been flashed you will need to return to the main recovery screen by selecting ++Go Back++.
Select ‘reboot system now’ and then wait for the phone to load the home screen after the first boot is complete.
After the first boot is complete you should see the home screen loading and now your Motorola Defy device is running the latest CM9 super stable Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich ROM firmware. Please note that the first boot process will take a while before loading all files and you should give it at least 10 minutes to complete its actions.
In case your phone gets into a boot loop and it cannot load the homescreen of Android 4.0.4 then you might’ve bricked it and now you have to repeat all the steps listed in the tutorial installation guide because you might’ve skipped or forgot to apply one of the steps listed there. Remember that we cannot be held responsible in case something went wrong and your phone has been bricked.
