[Q] Send Defy (CM7 currently installed) to repair - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
My backlight for the "back" button is broken so i'd like to send it to "datrepair".
Currently i have CM7.2 installed with 3.4 177 nordic deblur base.
I bought it in Germany in the beginning of 2011 at a "The Phone House" Shop.
Could you tell me what i have to install now to reset? I haven't installed a unofficial rom, so my warranty is not void, is it?
Maaaan, i hope you can help me
Greeting from Germany
Daniel

Flash with RSD Lite, actually your warranty is void, you flashed CM7

I know, you know, but they don't need to.
Do you know which ROM i should flash? I heard that it's not possible to perform a downgrade...

Flash official Froyo (JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-003 DACH for your country). Of course it´s possible (I´m on CM7 nightlies too and had to do it several times)

can you link me to the thread, or some procedures. How can I get back to the stock ?
thanks
If you install ice cream sandwich, there won't be any troubles because it's not an actual upgrade (in the sense that only /system dir and the kernel will change). Thus, you just have to flash the right sbf in order to go back to defy+ official android build.
Use RSD Lite to flash a sbf.

Direct Answer: You can go ahead and buy the Defy+.
You should be able to use Gingerbread with absolutely no problems. And there is no point in downgrading to Froyo.
And once, ICS is out, you may work with either Gingerbread or ICS.
PS: Motorola just released the entire source code for Gingerbread.

IF I update to ICS stable, will I be able to get back to GB SBF if I don't like ICS?

Did you see this from the XDA thread about that sbf:
NO DOWNGRADE TO ANY 2.3.6 rom or 2.3.4 or FROYO/ECLAIR and no root if you flash full sbf
i see it too late... i´m sending my phone to official service, is on guarantee, i hope they can change or repair my phone, if not, i be too sad.
Only can wait and if they not repair or change, i have a very nice mini netbook
thanks for help !

Is a new sbf with CG ver 6 and Froyo Kernel, then you can flash any ROM that uses Froyo kernel
EDIT
Sorry, that doesn't work, you flashed the CG ver 7

hey man, you repaired your phone, i have a bricked defy+, where testing many solutions i just do it power on without battery detector, and works well if 3g disabled, i would like put as original and working all =\

can't Root my Defy+ & more questions.

Hi there,
After installing CM 7.1 i wanted to go back to my stock firmware
so i flashed the SBF : DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTDE004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTDACH_P019_A022_M002_Service1FF.sbf
with RDLite.
After this i wanted to ROOT my defy with Super1click.. it always worked...
until now
I bought my DEFY+ in the Netherlands unlocked..
It seemes the SBF isn't the same as I bought. To unlock i need to Swipe
that wasn't on the original one...
So what SBF do i need then ?
Or am I ****ed after flashing my Defy ?
Is that some of the latest 2.3.6 sbf's? They aren't rootable as of yet :-/
You aren't fu*ked But, maybe you are stuck If it is one of the latest 2.3.6, then it's version 7 signed, too. That means you can't flash anything older now. I think I have seen some version 7 signed Froyo, but not sure if it was tested... I do use the version 6 Froyo, though, on my DEFY+...
So, rooting isnt possible too ?
Rooting is not possibly yet..

DoomLord v4 doesn't work vor CG7.
But about the Version 7 Froyo, should that be rootable just because its 2.2?
Can anybody confirm that?
Unfortunately there isn't any working tool atm and latest Froyo isn't on BL7 but BL6 so we're stuck with stock firmware. I hope not too long.

@ Chamelleon
You flashed the same ROM.
I got error messages all the time, think its the motorola message service or so.
The phone software isn;t working smoothly like the original one ?

Accidentally flashed full sbf

So here it is, I accidentally picked the chinese JDGC_2.13.0 while flashing sbf and now my defy is a ME525 when I look into the phone information.
That sbf does not seem to be downgradable, as I only get a black screen after flashing any other sbf I used before, meaning the stock froyo or the nordic.
I seriously don't know what to do now. Is there something I can do to downgrade or make my phone a MB525 again?
I hate to break this to you,but i think you are screwed.If it is under warranty,give it to your service centre and act as if you know nothing.That is the best advice i can give you.Try to ask senior members about this and see if there is a way out of this.
you flashed a bl3 rom and now you cant downgrade to any froyo rom you flash this china rom and you need to have a froyo nanndroid buckap and an fixed sbf

Upgrade to a non chinese BL4 Froyo. Or if you wish you may update to a GB BL6!! However then your phone will become MB526(Defy+) and you won't be able to downgrade to Froyo again!
You can find them here or go to dev section of XDA...
You may also need this Defy Image tools Use them to check the BL version... (smgver.exe)

He would be able to downgrade to Froyo. There is a Chinese BL6 Froyo sbf available in the forums.

[Q] Can't get back to Froyo! ;(

Hi guys.
I installed CM9 on my Defy MB525 and now i can't manage to go back to Froyo!!!!!!!
The only two ROMs that worked to me are:
JDGC_U6_2.13.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANAPCNCU_P017_A042_M006_HWp3_Service1FF
and
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTDE004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTDACH_P018_A019_M002_HWp3_WIG148149_Service1FF

but when i try to install , it doesnt power on, just stay a white led if its connected to USB.
dunno what to do anymore!!!
help please.
Thanks!
(already tried wipe data/factory reset and cache partt.. didnt work)
Have you read this Post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Defy - Stock Rom's inside as well
Cheers...
If you flashed Defy+ full sbf, you would never be able to go back froyo. People normally use nandroid and fixed sbf to jump around roms for that sake of freedom between eclair, froyo and gingerbread..

There is only one BL6 Froyo and that is chinese! BL6 is the bootloader version and once upgraded can NEVER be downgraded! So yes you are pretty much stuck!
I have the same problem, but I cannot use this chisese rom because it bootloops.
Is there any other bl6 full sbf?
