[Q] Official Defy Rom South Africa MTN - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys
Has anyone got an official SBF for the South African version of the DEFY
I have installed the JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTGB_P019_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf however that was not the original rom that was loaded on my phone.
I have flashed cm7 and the nightly builds of cm9 and they work amazingly however my phones antenna has malfunctioned and I would like to return it to my service provider so that it can be replaced.
I dont have a nandroid back up of the original rom [im an idiot I know]
Is there anyone out there that can make a backup of their mtn defy or at least point me to a rom that will look legit so that I can send my phone in and hopefully get it replaced.
Kind regards

Samsung i9000 ROM flashing issues. (Help needed)

Hello everyone. First off thanks for reading this post.
A friend of mine has a Samsung Galaxy S i9000t. He didn't do a backup of his ROM from before doing a firmware update. Well he's now in a bit of a problem. The new firmware installed fine. But it seems to have affected his cell radio as the phone is only bouncing between 1 or no bars and not getting any cell signal (though it is seeing another carrier other than his carrier).
His i9000 is the UK version and we've been trying to find back his original 2.3.3 ROM (which was installed via kies), but with no luck. Wifi is working fine and I would say everything else is as well other than the cell radio.
Any help you can give would be much appreciated.....thanks.
Well, most firmware can be found at samfirmware, but there might be other solutions as well. What did he flash ? (and you proably are in the wrong section, btw)

Thanks for the quick reply. I think he's tried a few of them now, but the cell radio issue hasn't improved. He's currently on Gingerbread 2.3.4 XXJVQ.
Didn't mean to post in the wrong area....where would be the right place to seek help.
The right place to post.

In my opinion, just reflash to a new firmware using Odin.

HELP NEEDED to get m devy back running...
Hey guys,
I was running CM 7.1 on my devy without problems for a year till my speaker broke 2 days ago. I wanted to return to stock to send it for repare but somewhere I made a huge mistake.
To make a long story short, after trying al sorts of roms, I am stuck at the JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf rom. It is the only one that boots! The other ones result in a black screen and I'm feeling lucky that I still can use rsd-lite to get the 97.21.51 back....
What to do? Which retail version can I use? I have a dutch phone and had official Froyo before I installed CM 7.1. I already tried all ROMS from germany, western europe and [email protected] http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php ...
Also I can't install clockwork mod because market doesn't work @ 97.21.51 and installing it by zip with 2nd init also gave a error... Going back to cm 7.1 by installing it with 2nd init didn''t work eather (bootloop) .
Please some help here to get my phone to retail status so I can send my phone for repair of the speaker!
Greatings Marc
I think that U3 97.21.51 is a BL7 eclair ROM.
It provided a downgrade solution for BL7 users, but you're doomed
if you flashed it while you were on BL4/5/6.
I think that you are stuck on BL7. Just search up BL7 in Defy forums.
Go back to Original

Information about the china lollipop rom

hi guys,
so i did the mistake and i flashed the china lollipop rom. i was pretty desperate and i thougt that i'm stock with it forever.
but, i figured it out and decided to share my experience and maybe save you time (and probably a heart attack ).
let's begin!
first of all, with this #%#^# rom flashed, tou CANNOT downgrade back to kitkat. i'm no expert, but i did a big research and found nothing. if you do find anything, please share with us
secondly, if I tryed and flash above any other rom, the call sound was bad. wich lead us to the next problem - you cannot flash a modem (trust me, i tryed ALOT) without loosing your baseband, IMEI and signal - in other words, you lost the all idea of a cell phone! great..
for those of you who lost the baseband and IMEI, the only solution that i found was to re-flash all of the chinees rom files.
so, what do you do if you want to change the rom, but like me you get bad call quality?
here's what i did-
thank goodnes, AL-IRAQI uploaded the russian version of lollipop, wich you can find here.
now for all of those who wonders, don't worry, you will not lose IMEI and baseband.
after i flashed the russian version, i flashed the PRISM BARBONE rom (again- AL-IRAQI:angel and the call quality is perfect! so i get to live happily ever after
there is however one last thing that i don't know (because i didn't try) - are we able to flash a modem now that we are based on the russian loillipop? if any of you have information about that, please be kind and share it with the rest of us.
hopefully you find this usefull

Australian RUU firmware or zip

I have been using this phone from last 4 months and switched to leedroid and now its time for a change but problem is i can not revert back to stock after been through various forums it seems its not easy as it seems
my previous firmware was 1.62.710.1 and i can not find firmware files for this and cid is 023 if anyone could help its australian phone and single sim
Didn't you backup with twrp
Nop I thought t should be available as always the firmwares had been available
its not like samsung there easy to find but everytime you root or change your rom always always backup your phone
im in perth and i got my phone from jbhifi i didnt know about ruu but i have backed my phone up im on leedroid and loving it just wish the screen persistence is a bugger
is your back up of 1.62.710.1 rom and just rom or your personal files too
Just my rom
