Well kayani.. first you should decide which ROM you want to flash on your Defy.. then procedure will be selected accordingly.. Suggest you to read this guide before you take any step :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
Just read it and move..!!

You have some easy options of CM7.1.0 and MIUI ROMS to try... but you will lose warranty as you will have to root and install the boothloader+cwd
But you can always go back to original state if you have a SBF of your service provider or region.

which one you suggest

the link you sent is quite compicated,plz tell some easy process.
My camera lens is green, and it comes from TMobile UK,the i update it to froyo 2.2.2 when T Mobile launched that update.

Man you need to understand what you want to do, else you will brick your phone. so you will have to read that guide. but you can take help of Google n Wikipedia to understand the terms.
my first rom was ms2ginger 2.1 . its quite easy to flash this rom. you can find a video tutorial on YouTube for it.... so enjoy..

Maybe you can try superoneclick 2.3.3 @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Thanks. I'll try it out when my computer is fixed. Is there any risk that my phone might get bricked if I use superoneclick? One more thing, can I install the cm7 to defy+ after I've root it?

No, it doesn't..! You can root it, I did it just yesterday, using SuperOneClickRoot. I've got a DEFY+, too.
But it does mean that once you flash a newer kernel, you can't go back to an older version. That has nothing to do with rooting, but it does with flashing.

Thanks for the info!

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.
Defy Plus 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CEE
@ 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 ?

Defy+ users in India?

Hi,
My phone came with the same version. It has DFP-189 SBF. You can update it to 2.3.6 by a full SBF flash. If you r phone is fully stock(no root etc.) then you can do that by simply choosing the correct SBF(MB526.AsiaRetail.**.DFP-1321) and flashing it and you will be updated to 2.3.6. There is one another updated SBF (MB526.AsiaRetail.**.DFP231) which I currently have and has different lockscreen and caller UI. You can find all the SBF here . Try by just flashing the SBF and you will be updated and your data will be still there. However should you face any prob you will need to do a data wipe from stockrecovery
But before doing any of that you should know:
1.) The SBF with DFP-1321 has BL6(bootloader version) and thus you won't be able to use any CM made for Defy,will have to use CM builds for Defy+.
2.) The SBF with DFP-231 has BL7 and thus cannot be downgraded to any of the SBFs!! And most imp: You can't root it! Why am I using it? Because phone was in service center and they flashed this SBF!!! :'(

Hi, the link for DFP-1321 SBF given in the official thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386942) seems to be broken. This puts me in a spot since I'm made to believe it's not wise to flash a custom ROM without having at least one stock SBF I can fall back on, in case I mess up my phone somehow. I was really looking forward to flashing a custom ROM, and now this problem...
Could someone suggest any alternative link/SBF/method or better still, reupload the DFP-1321 SBF and post the link on the relevant thread? Thanks in advance...

Make a nandroid backup before you flash anything..
If something goes wrong, just restore your backup..
However,there might be a scenario when you cannot access your recovery (highly unlikely if you follow instructions),then you shall need your stock SBF to fall back to.
As for the link being down,

I see, thanks for your response! I wasn't sure whether just restoring a nandroid backup would let get me back to my Stock GB after I flashed a CM10 ROM (It is enough, right? Could you please confim? My Stock configuration right now is super stable and quite fast, I want to ensure I can get back to it at some point if I don't like CM10).

Android 2.1= Eclair
Android 2.2= Froyo
You can't do anything until you update to 2.2
Search for RSD Lite to flash Froyo SBF files (ie stock ROMs). Plenty of info in this forum. Remember to wipe data & cache after flash.
After that, root, install 2nd-init.
For custom ROM I recommend CM10 4.1.2 since CM7 is a bit outdated.

I have read it and did not understand what to download or is it safe for my phone... One peace of info, leads me to another and I get confused.
Ok, so what exactly is your problem? chandujram linked the beginners guide, where you may find that you need RSDLite (the flashing tool) and a SBF file to flash matching your phone and region (and provider if you want) - both are linked in the thread. Follow the instructions to flash the SBF to your phone and you have Froyo/Gingerbread. This thread should give you a clue, what SBF is Froyo or Gingerbread - and what bootloader they bring. you have read and understood, that certain bootloader versions come with some restrictions, haven't you? Good. Then follow the instructions in the thread for the rom you posted.

I live in Israel. My carrier is Orange but I believe it previously belonged to Cellcom (another carrier).
I want to install CM7 because it seems awesome but it requires froyo 2.2 in order to flash. And Im on stock 2.1
Latest CM7 build is the best
@rizeN50:
Have you even read the thread? He ain't on Froyo or Gingerbread, yet.
@Bei60:
Well, Israel makes it quite easy, doesn't it? The SBF-list only shows one entry for Israel and the other thread shows only one entry, too. Either of them should be fine, but I didn't check them. If in doubt, take the one from the SBF-list. But I don't know, if they're GB oder Froyo.
