Hi guys,
Need your help, i couldnt find any working way how to downgrade my Defy with flashed 4.5.1-134_DFP-231 withone makes from my classic Defy => DEFY+ (MB526). Is there any way how to downgrade it?
Thx for replies...
(Camera doesnt work)
Ok...
you sir, have a problem...
This is what I found on an other Thread:
4.5.1-134-DFP-231 - retail, vodafon, tmobile, O2, full Blur ROOT? downgrade no! Maybe MB525(Defy) battery did not work!
Thread about this Sbf: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495099
Maybe there is one day an update, witch says, that its rootable at least.
Try checking it regularly, but at this point there is no downgrade and no root, sorry to say that.
Edit: Stumbled over this thread, so that you at least could have root access:

Hello everyone,
I am a new member here and I know asking questions is annoying when there're someone who ave already asked it before, so I have searched , looking around at different areas, I have gain some knowage about SBF and Roms and so on, and now I have faced a problems :
As far as I know there are Roms and Root software for version 2.3.6 , but they are for DHT - 22/23 , I have spend two days but still couldn't found any post that's directly saying about how to Root the version of my Defy+ :
2.3.6_DFHKT_U_4.5.2-109_DHT-25 version,
So I am asking here if there are one have already posted a way to Root this version, or it just can not be rooted
Have you tried using SuperOneClickRoot? I don't really know ALL the DEFY+ ROMs, but all that can be rooted - can be rooted with SuperOneClickRoot. If it fails, then I guess you'll have to wait a while for the developers to get there :-/

Yea, I know there's SuperOnsClickRoot that can be use,
but I have read the post and the users said that it seems didnt work on the newer version of the Defy+ ( that's my DHT-25) ,
but also I find that's Rom of DHT-25 version ,
and I think I should Root my defy+, so I can Flash my Defy+ , right ?
Those DHT-25 version Roms are all for the older version to upgrade to DHT-25, but not for Rooting DHT-25 itself, so I am a bit confuse ,arrrr,
But I will try to test it tomorrow, let you know if it will works or not ! Thx anyway
: (
I have tried both the UnLock Root & SuperOneClick v.2.3.3 , but still, they are Fail to root my Defy+ , I have searched a lot in XDA and it seems no one hae talkabout Rooting the newer version SBF of DEFY + ( 4.5.2-109_DHT-25 ) , any suggestions : ( ?
There is no way to root the latest Android 2.3.6 sbfs, yet.

So finally a clear answer for me , and I can see there's a "yet" at the end . .. is there's some clues that in a short period it could happen ?
Any update?
Ok,
Now pardon my lack of experience, I rooted another phone a long time ago and it was painless. Things have changed...
I got a brand new Defy+ from a reputable online retailer today and I was aiming to have it all done and installed with CM9 by tomorrow. Good luck with that says Murphy's law. I have this particular version of 2.3.6 that is apparently unrootable by the easy methods.
Details:
System Verion: 45.1.25.ME525+.Retail.en.05
Model: ME525+
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.60.02
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-g6977577
Build Number: 4.5.2-109_DHT-25
Scoured the net, scoured xda devs, I can find mentions, but nothing about how to get around this. Every mention is about if you have an unlocked bootloader already etc. I'm not at that point yet.
DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit v4 doesn't work, neither does SuperOneClickv2.3.3 (or 2.3.1 as I read and tried).
I'm at this point where I want to play with flashing SBFs, except I know if I get it wrong (from what I read), I'll have a bit of an issue (BL numbers and such).
So....an appeal to the other Defy+ tinkerers out there, anything you can suggest? Or, which SBF can I flash that will let me get to a version where I can root and move to some other wonderful new ROM?
Thanks,

Ok,
So, I said stuff it, got the 5.7 version of RSDLite and tried to downgrade to the DHT-22-23 SBF from the sbf.droid-developers defy+ repository.
That was not sucessful - all I got were black screens, but I can confirm that you can still flash again.
So I'm going to basically try a number of other ROMs until one works. I'll keep everyone posted, since I seem to be a bit of a trailblazer with this one.
Awesome.
Follow these lads: "DFP-188, DFP-231, DFP-2311 BL7 Finally Rooted" (I still can't post links...)
Basically, you flash one particular rom, wipe, then flash a rooted version of the same rom.
So I now have a rooted CEE rom. Time to bust out!

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

Hi guys
I flashed the brazil vito rom, and know ive got stuck.
Is there at moment a way to downgrade this version?
Or is there a other rom i may could flash with my 2.3.6 vito.
Couse ratail is not woking. By the way someone know why?
Im sorry about may bad english...
"Couse ratail is not woking. "
This is so much general - please specify your problem in more details - are you getting any error message or how the phone behave?
"Is there at moment a way to downgrade this version?"
Take a look at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497263
"Or is there a other rom i may could flash with my 2.3.6 vito."
Yes. All custom ROMs, that works with GB - tezet's CM9, Endless7's CM7, Argen2Stone, MS2Ginger... in fact all roms, except MIUI and stock froyo (but you can downgrade now and use these too)
Actually, it's not possible yet, the Vivo ROM (I'm guessing Vito was a typo) can't be rooted and, right now, it's not possible to install any custom ROMs or downgrade.
Can't he just flash SBF of another GB ROM, which is rootable? (UK/Brazilian/China etc.)

No, the Vivo ROM has v4 BL, and the other GB official ROMs have v3 BL. I'm not sure why it doesn't work, but nobody in the forum reported success in rooting / downgrading (or even changing to another official GB) from Vivo and Personal ROMs.
Okay thanks for the fast answers i thought, too that this is because of the new rom.
So the ratail 2.3.6 has no v4bl, too so i cant flash the sbf, too?
So its normal, that i cant flash any other sbf? Or are their other roms with v4bl?
And do you think there will be found a way to root/downgrade this version, or is it impossible?

Yes, the 2.3.6 has v3 BL, unfortunately you're stuck in the Vivo rom for now. If you try to apply a different SBF, your phone won't boot, and you'll have to reaply Vivo rom to use the phone. For now, you can't change ROMs either.
All we have now is hope that it'll be possible to root and downgrade this version, I'm sure a solution will appear sometime, we just have to wait.
Are there any news? Do someone know?
Someone know where i can find some informatian?
Unfortunately, there's nothing new yet... All we need is hope.
Are there any news about this issues?
posting here as unable to reply to any dev posts (new user)
I have a defy+ (the MB526 NOT a defy), got the lovely boot loop this morning and had to flash with an SBF file I found. details of my phone and the file are at the bottom of this post.
I cannot root this phone now: have tried every method I can find, from the german batfile to demonlord. won't do it. I have all the correct phone settings.
Seems i'm not alone, other UK users seem to be affected too.
The SBF file comes with BLUR as well... ugh bloat..
MY QUESTION:
where can I find a good SBF file FOR DEFY+ that works well on a DEFY+ that I can also root? i've searched much of these forums today and there are many garbled posts about DEFY+ on DEFY etc , and a few links where the file has been removed, so there seems to be no definitive place where you can get a link
to an SBF file on this forum for the DEFY+.
There *may* be some buried away in the threads about custom roms for defy handsets, but nothing that you can point to and go THAT ONE.

If you couldn't root it the way you did before it means that that's a bl7 sbf. But, luckily enough, it can be rooted since a week back, or so
Check this out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013
All DFP-188 and newer ROM's are bl7 No downgrade-ability for you.
Oh, and you've asked about sbf's - you can flash DFP-188, DFP-231 and DFP-2311 only, no other bl7 for now!
thanks for the info. pesky new boot loader eh?
found this - worked for me! be good if someone could take it and make a sticky with these details in on how to root defy+ handsets with locked boot loaders.

Moving to Q&A
I'm a brand new owner of a Defy XT from republicwireless. I'm wanting to root it but I haven't a clue whether it's a BL7 or not (the instructions in the beginner guide give two sets of instructions, one for BL7, one for non-BL7).
What does it mean? Is it really that important? Any relevant threads? (I couldn't find any :s)
Edit: As I suspected, BL means bootloader, however I'm struggling to find out what version BL I have.. Any help?
Edit2: I did hours worth of googling and found this super easy root method for republicwireless users.
androidpolice . com/2013/01/28/exclusive-one-click-root-for-the-republic-wireless-motorola-defy-xt-single-and-dual-band-with-the-newest-ota-1_65k_1027-or-older/
Note: Had to put spaces around the "." after android police, remove them for the URL to work.
This works with build number 1_65K_1027 as far as I know!
