Hello everybody
I had to format my SD recently so I lost backups of official 2.3.5 I made before So is there anybody who could please send me a CWM backup of official 2.3.5 for U8800 so I can restore it?. Right now I am stuck with custom ROMs which are all very buggy and have poor battery life
Cant you just te install it? It is propably faster, and it doesnt have custom settings others have done.

and secondly i want to root it completely so it cannot be detectable so if i downgrade the firmware will it be Unrooted again or do i have to do something else
thanx in adv
I think if you use the search function, you will find the answer to all your questions.
i have done it but its confusing if some one can answer here it would be great
You answered your question in the op. You need to flash the ROM you want onto the phone. If you use the search function you should find what you want.

Hello can anyone help me? Im on stock FroYo and wanted to install other gingerbread based custom roms .. So suppose before flashing cyanogenmod 7 I did a full nandroid backup of my FroYo and flashed gingerbread then would I be able to revert back to FroYo by just restoring the FroYo nandroid or i'll have to flash a full sbf?
And if restoring will do.. can anyone tell me how?
Thank you in advance ... newbie here :]

Flash stock kernel then use toolbox to provide dual recovery and restore your data.
thanks for the replies but perhaps you didnt understand my problem...i cant go back to stock 2.1 rom which is necessary for flashing any kernel. so i cant flash stock kernel or dual mode recovery.

Mind to elaborate why you CAN'T flash back to 2.1? What's keeping you?
simply put after i flashed alfs kernel i got cwm recovery installed. i didnt make a backup of stock rom. so after installing gingerdx v013 i now have no way of reverting back to stock without flashing a ftf file which i really dont want to do.

Ok, if you don't want to flash back through the 2.1 FTF image you're somewhat out of options ... as the only way to "go Stock" from a custom Kernel and custom ROM is ...
... Flash back Stock Kernel (that only works through Flashtool - irakkarl has a link to the stock kernel FTF in his FroyoPro thread).
... Flash back Stock 2.1.1 through either PC Companion ("Repair" - which will most likely fail with "No updates available" due to the higher version of the custom ROM) or through Flashtool using the ROM FTF.
I think you also need to relock the bootloader.

Well on my cwm recovery when I go to backup and restore then restore there is an option that says restore from xrecovery, and that's how I do it.

He's not asking to go back to full stock, he's asking how to go back to stock rom 2.1 from his xrecovery backup. Read it carefully.

and bjay just suggested an option open for me. no need to bash him like that.

which sounded more like a bashing
but we're not here to fight on trivial matters....so umm any chance somebody backed up his eclair system in cwm recovery. please upload it to 4shared.com and post the link here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1431231 here you have the cwm backup,but,it will not change your kernel,you need to useflashtool,please read it carreful,when i posted that link i knew what you need ,remember you need flashtool to flash the kernel there is no other way.cheers
edit:you can change the kernel ,you don't need 2.1 eclair for that,you need ftf kernel file and that's all.
Verry simple
To restore a xrec backup in cwm just rename the xrecovery folder from sd card to cwmrecovery
Leave a thanks if I helped
I was running a red lens defy running CM7.1.
I made a nandroid backup then then upgraded to CM9 and flashed the GB kernel.
I found CM9 too slow so booted into CWM and tried to restore my nandroid backup,unaware I also had to restore the kernel etc. from the advanced menu.
I understand I now need a SBF to restore my phone before I can root, install cwm and get to my nandroid backup.
Do I need a gingerbread SBF to do this? I tried a froyo one but it hangs on the moto logo.
All help appreciated!
You no longer have boot menu and cwm?
Do not flash any GB one. You can just go back to your original froyo version by flashing full sbf. For the list of sbfs check the thread from Walter79 in sticky threads of development section.
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App
The gingerbread kernel u used on the defy isn't the same as the one on the defy + stock firmware.The kernel u used on the defy is a fixed sbf which is an original gingerbread sbf but with some modifications that allow you to downgrade to froyo.Normally if you recieve an official update from froyo to gingerbread on your phone you will never be able to downgrade.What fixed sbfs does is preserve ur downgradeability and are made from official sbfs and compiled by xda devs.
So in your case,since you have a defy,i would suggest you to flash with a stock sbf,the froyo one,ie the last official update your motorola came with.you can find that in xda forums.If not reply back with your country and carrier and i will help you
So i just bought a defy+ and it has 2.3.5. Stupid carrier.
Well, im trying to find which baseband is using but its not listed in the about phone menu. Is there any other way around?
I want to install a custom rom with 720p, but all there are so many different kernels i have no idea which one to use, or if i even need to flash one. My previous phone was a Xperia X8, you just had to unlock BL, flash kernel and flash rom. Here, theres the SBF files , the nandroid stuff. Are you supposed to use both?
If anyone can recommend me a rom thats not MIUI(i need my drawer ok) or ICS, i would appreciated.
Anyway, i need to know the baseband to see if i can try the soft simunlock.
Here is my build number :4.5.2-51_DFL-50 whatever it means.
ps: i already made a backup with cwm of the stock rom and also rooted my phone.
To flash a sbf you have to download RSD Lite and drivers, here u have the steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537. Then, install the rom u like from recovery. Here u have all Epsylon and Quarx ICS nightlys (ICS, CM9) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100. With Defy+ use gb Kernel.
I just have some questions regarding the kernels. If i install the ICS roms and then i want to go back, which kernel i need to flash to be able to restore my phone using the nandroid backup i made.

None, because when you are doing full backup a copy of a kernel is included.
Then im going to update CWM, make a new backup just in case and start to play a around a bit.
Thanks for the help ^^
ps: is there anything wrong with 2.3.5? just asking because i hardly see any posts related to this android version

2.3.5 is perfectly fine! It's what I use as a base for both CM7.2 and CM9 builds for Gingerbread and it's great! It's rootable and you can even flash down to Froyo if you wish so, there's a special version 6 Froyo sbf in the forums.
If you have any doubts or if anything confuses you, please do ask before trying, that will save you both time and nerves
Full 2.3.5 sbf that I use: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...22_A022_M002_HWp3_WIG148094_Service1FF.sbf.gz
*EDIT* Just read the whole first post You can use Quarx's CM7.2 and CM9 defy+ nightlies on your phone without flashing anything else but the ROM zip and gapps zip (optional, as you know). Both available here - http://quarx2k.ru/
i have one more question regard the defy+,
If i flash the cm7.2 or cm9 builds by Quarx and want to go back, i just need to restore the backup i made with cwm right? or do i really need to get the sbf from my carrier?
is there any difference(flashing a sbf or restoring form nandroid. Not in procedure but in the final result)?

Yep restoring the backup will suffice but if you want to get back your warranty you need to uninstall CWM and any other root apps and unroot your phone. That won't leave any trace of root.
Following are some main differences in flashing nandroid and SBF:
1.) Nandroid backup restores your phone to exact state as it was during backup. SBF gives you back exactly how your phone was when you purchased it. Thus, you still have root and CWM after nandroid whereas your phone is clean as new after SBF(recomended to claim warranty).
2.) SBF flashes almost everything except data partition! Nandroid flashes even the data partition..
Thanks for the help, ill use nandroid until i get back. Besides cwm is easy to remove.

I have a question, I have a stock defy (Bayer, according logcat)..
The android version that it has is 2.2.1 and build version is 3.4.2-107_JDNL-9..
Once I root it and install CWM, can I just flash any rom, like the one you link above or I need to use RSD lite for something before?
I'm sorry for the noob questions but never had a motorola before, always nexus line which has unlocked bootloader..

Yep once you have CWM you can go on with flashing ROMs with ease. You need RSD lite and SBBF only if you soft brick your phone(Very hard!) or want to go back to stock to claim warranty.
Thank you for your help
