[Q] How to flash over Cee froyo after downgreading from 2.3.4 ?

Hi there i fully flashed gingerbread unfortunately and i used this thread to downgraded it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15341774&postcount=8
so im on CEE Froyo 2.2.2 ok my problem is i can't flash any other Froyo on it i had a couple of sbf i used to use before and downloaded alot of sbf but every time i try to flash via RSDLite im getting a black screen!!!
can some help me please?? i'v heard that i cant flash foryo again coz gingerbread is sbf version 5 or something !! thx for your time
It´s the only Froyo you can get installed after flashing Gingerbread full.sbf. There´s nothing you can do. Be happy to have Froyo CEE.
nope you wrong acutely i can
So tell me what you can do...
with you can, tell me fast
where's Defy Boot unlock project?
ok if u want to flash other than the sbf that came with the guide here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15341774&postcount=8
you will need to follow the steps but instead of extracting the cee froyo nandroid backup to \sdcard\goapkrev\backup extract the nandroid backup of the sbf that u want to flash and then use the fixed sbf ofc of the sbf u want to use but i'd say make a fixed sbf by ur self ( if you dont know u can ask me to explain ) but im sure u can find alot of links anyway thats how to flash ur defy after upgrading to 2.3.4 thats mean no direct flash , every time you need to flash a new sbf u will have to do that .

Probably the one you tried was just corrupted hehe, good to see you got it sorted.
And yeah, the special Eclair SBF wont work since all these new Defy+ Roms come with CG6, and that one is CG5.

Hi, ace, I had a 2.3.6 Defy+ and got screwed too, by flashing a 2.3.4 custom ROM without being aware of the locked bootloader / no-downgrade lock.
Please, where did you find stock ROM / sbf file for 2.3.6 Defy+ ? I need it but can't find it
EDIT: nvm. I found it myself =)
Hi guys, apologies for flooding other threads as well
I'm having the same error on bootloader. i've tried flashing several Stock SBF files from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php but still stucked on the same error in bootloader. Please help

DFP-231 is a BL7 build. None of the exploits will work with that. You need to flash the rooted SBF to your phone.
This will work..[success!] defy bl7 root!
Or DFP-188, DFP-231, DFP-2311 BL7 Finally Rooted
They are both same.
Well if you dont mind me asking how do i flash it and i dont really want to lose all my data are you sure there is no other way
There isn't a script to do that so you have to flash the SBF using RsdLite..
There is a guide for that search for it..
Also see the threads in the previous post, some users were able to flash those without wipe..
Ok But are you sure there is no other way to do this because i heard flashing might void my warrentiy
AFAIK there isn't another method yet..
Rooting will void your warranty not flashing

The sbf flashing method works for dfp231 builds. you'll need to download RSDLite. google for instructions on how to flash sbf's using RSDLite. it works

I'll try to post detailed instructions as soon as I get some time..
As for the chinese SBF(CN), see the other thread. You can chose the European SBF(CEE) from there( do make sure its the same version in step 2 &4)
I've got a software which can auto root the system.
if you want this ware just contact me.

Please help me root my Defy Plus

Ok, I need to root my Motorola Defy+ and install CM10. As I understand, it is a 3-step process i.e.
1. Root
2. 2nd-Init
3. flashing custom ROM
I have the following specs:
- System version 45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03
- Android 2.3.6
- Kernel version 2.6.32.9
- Build number 4.5.1.134_DFP-231
I want to know the safest way to root the phone. I tried SuperOneClick 2.3.3 a while back and it wasn't successful. It hung/crashed in the process and I finally disconnected the phone from PC.
I saw this XDA thread on how to root this above build number. However, that starts from wiping Data/Cache TWICE! So I'll lose all my apps and settings in that step right?
Before committing to that, I want to make sure there is NO OTHER root method possible for Defy Plus.
According to me, you cannot root your device without wiping/loosing your data. You need to flash that SBF through RSDlite then only it can be rooted.
and this method works perfect !! i had tried it by myself on MB526 with bl7.

Unfortunately, there isn't any other way to root the BL7 builds.. And trust me its by sheer determination that there is this one.
You can use a backup application to backup your apps/data and restore it afterwards.
but u lose not all data, only the app data and apps that u don't have from Google PlayStore. if u logged in the first time Google sync ur apps and contacts data back, if u have synced ur data before with ur Google account.

Thanks for your reply guys. Seems like this is the only way out. Downloading the SBFs now.
Two more questions:
1. Which SBF to use? CN or CEE? I heard some issues with the CN one.
2. Which version of RSD Lite to use? I have downloaded both 4.9 and 5.6

I rooted with EU firmware and it went well. Flashed CM10 and loving it.
Btw, there is no such thing as Defy+ green lens. And you dont need any camera fix for Defy+. Just follow the root procedure and flash whatever ROM you want. No additional battery/camera fix required.

You have bootloader version 7 so superone click will not work , you will have to use the method for bl7.

Hello, you have two options, flash the original SFB your carrier, or do this SuperRootClick
If you need help, contact me
(If you think I helped a little thank me: D)
Where can I find a sbf for this build?
Code:
build number-4.5.1-134_DFP-891
Link to all sbf's
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
U won't find sbf for the build u specified... Same problem was seen months back....
And the solution was to try and flash every sbf....
Well that's a tiredsome job..
By my personal opinion u try this 1 :
4.5.1-134-DFP-231 - retail, vodafon, tmobile, O2, full Blur
I use it whenever I brick my defy+
