ok, so i have a defy i rooted it and tried to change boot logo and i misplaced the file and it wouldnt turn on or boot.
so i plug it into my pc and it is recognised by rsd lite and a white led shows up on my defy.
i go to flash a rom and it doesnt work.
it turns the little green picture red and then fails.
Any chance of me being able to actually getting it to work.
i have resarched loads of ways and nothing seems to help, hence why i posted here. thankyou
ROM (in a zip file) or SBF file? RSD Lite will only accept SBF files!
If you are using a SBF file, is the CG version greater than or equal to what you had before? For example you can't flash a Froyo SBF after flashing Gingerbread.
i used the .SBF
i was on froyo trying to flas another version of it, so i need flash a gingerbread rom?
can anyone else give me a hand?
Does it have clock work mod recovery installed
no it doesn't, im guessing its screwed?
no your not, just flash the stock froyo image (.sbf file) with rsd lite and then erase data trough stock recovery and it should start normally
ps: i used this one

Install official Indian Froyo 2.2.2 from http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/HRXSSAXE/ using RSDLite if you have not installed any new version of 2.3 GB

If all depends on the kind of SBF that you flashed. If you have flashed a FULL sbf then you can't downgrade most likely. If you flashed a FIXED sbf then downgrading shouldn't be a problem.
I made the same mistake in the beginning but luckily I only flashed a FULL 2.2 sbf which is stable. For now I always start from this rom, get root on my phone using superoneclick, install 2ndinit, reboot into 2ndinit recovery (volume down when led turns blue) and I install the nandroid backup that I placed on My SD card using "install from zip".
It would help if you gave some more info on which sbf you flashed?

Hey
I wanted to install a new rom on my defy+ so i booted to clockwork and did it. but it failed and now i cant access Clockworkmod only a silly stock recovery which cant install my rom. I used to just reboot into recovery, but i cant do that now since there is no rom on the phone. Can you guys please help me to get to custom recovery/clockworkmod.
Please help me, i dont know what to do and my phone dosent work now! :-(
You will have to go back to stock. That's the **** with the locked bootloader. Do all steps again to instal it again. Probably on wrong kernel.

Well u must have heard about how to get STOCK rom...
well i have flashed more than 10 roms never find any problem yet
now what u shud do is go back to your STOCK Rom the one which motorola gave inbuilt in ur defy +
using RSD software
And your .sbf file
.sbf is rom file
just go to RSD lite then open .sbf file
Put your MOTO into bootloader and flash
Do not remove your Mobile unless progress is done 100%
if u r still confused please read guides provided by experts
where can i find the SBF that fits to my phone? and also so it can be rooted again.

I recently bought Defy+ with 2.3.5. and i want to install ICS but i don't understand a thing about SBF files, Nandroid stuff. Rooting and installing custom ROM-s doesn't seem to be a problem only this thing about upgrading and downgrading SBF is what I dont understand.
Can anybody explain me in simplest way what are SBF files and how to put ICS on my phone.
This is what SBF's are all about.
And this is how to flash CM9 ICS.
Ok, but would i be able to put my stock ROM back after i install that ICS?
Just stay away from flashing SBF files and you'll be fine and will always be able to go back to stock.
NB! The only SBF you should ever flash, is your STOCK SBF! If you obey this rule, you'll be just fine
P.S. This post was written in font size 7 for a reason and the reason is not that I'm yelling. It's just because many people here listen to other newby's, advising them to flash this or that SBF and then can't go back. It's for your own good, guys
First go and find your stock(faktory)rom then look if you have red(bayer) or green (SOC) camera lens
root your phone
install 2nd init or use twrp from goo-inside or goomanager app
Boot into cwm recovery
Make a backup of your stock rom
Now you can go back via recovery system to your own setup whenever you want to
Just wipe data , look for the right kernel and restore your backup
You can flash your orginal sbf with rsd lite whenever you want and your phone is nearley like a new one.
Maybe some infos are stored on phone what you have flashed on

So I do this:
1. Root phone
2. Install 2nd init
3.Backup of my stock ROM
And than install ICS like it is explained here.
And if I want to return stock ROM I just find backup file on my computer and install it with rsd lite.
No need to backup your original ROM - that's what your stock SBF is for By flashing it, you will return your original system, that was installed by Motorola and will remove 2nd init, root and all traces of ever manipulating your phone

That's the safest way! However, you can't always find your original SBF (e.g. my original rom is 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE, 4.5.1-134 DFP-74).
You can download the available SBF for defy+ here: h**p://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php
So if i want to take my phone to service i just download 2.3.5 Motorola Stock ROM and flash it like normal.
What is difference between flashing ROM and SBF files?
And you told me that only SBF i should flash is my stock SBF but want i change my SBF files when i flash ICS?
I have a nandroid of the stock rom that came with my phone.. how do I see what build version it is? Im on cm7.2. I cant restore it because of hash errors. So if i find out build info i can flash that particular sbf

If you flash just the ROM, the kernel and the other files will be the same and most important you won't burn eFuses, so you'll be able to come back to older version.

Auris 1.6 vvt-i told you to flash your stock SBF to avoid burning eFuses and because in this way you will never have problems with warranty (some versions could be not available in your country). You don't need to flash full SBF before upgrading to ICS, just check the kernel and flash the right version.
Hey Guys, I know that there is a tutorial for this but i couldn't figure it out, I am having a Green Lens Defy, I have a broken display so.. I need to send it to service.
- I had a custom ROM on it
- Flashed Froyo_CEE_2.2.2 and the screen is black now
- Tried JORDN_U3_97.21.51 but no success
- I need to have the Froyo_CEE_2.2.2 on my device because it is the official ROM in Romania
Thx in advanced
go to bootloader
Flash 2.2.2 froyo sbf with rsd lite.
after that go to stock recovery, wipe data/chage than reboot yor phone
go to bootloader and flash 2.2.2 froyo sbf with rsd lite.
And it will boot up.

This way will not work in this case. As he flashed Chinese eclair (JORDN_U3_97.21.51) with BL5, he has no way back to froyo, which is BL4
