Same issue here...(although I think I have a red lens defy).
Here are the specs of my phone:
System version: Moto_version.2.51.1.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Model number: MB525
Firmware version: 2.1-update
Baseband version: EPU93ST2_U_03.0A.01
Kernel version: 2.6.29 [email protected] #1
BPflex version: UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA030.0R
APflex version: GAS_EMEA_UCAJORDANRTEU_P048
Build number: JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1
A clue can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
Q: I can't flash from recovery, I get an sdcard mount error.
A: It seems to be related with phone's who are using version 2.51. To solve, try to flash any recent SBF file. If you want to do a nandroid first, check if SD Recovery works for you.

So the SDcard problem seems to originate from the version. The solution which has been provided is to flash any recent SBF file. This is where I am stuck at present.
1)What SBF file is recommendable?
2) is it really required to do take a nandroid image?
Perhaps something to mention: I am working without phone SIM and with a 2 GB Kingston SD card.
Flash a froyo ROM, root and instal 2nt init. Best a non blur ROM (then you don't have to register)
If you don't want to go to eclair (void warranty, official upgrade for your country) you don't have use nand. Nordic is a good choose.

Hi,
thanks for the reply, greatly appreciated. No, I don't want to go back to eclair, since I do not have any warranty anymore....
Where can the ROMs be obtained? I stumbled onto the website as provided by Moto defy a beginners guide (grrr, I cannot provide URL's here) where a whole list of SBFs are given.
However, Nordic seems to be a Gingerbread SBF? Which one to pick in order to get CM working?
Thanks! TY
Problem has been solved.
I updated the phone with Motorola update manager to version 2.2.1.
After the update, the installation of CM worked perfect.

I desperately need some help.
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000 (8gb). Here are some details about this phone:
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware Version: 2.3.2
Baseband Version: I9000XXJPK
Build Version: Gingerbread.XWJV1
The thing is, I want to root my phone and install custom ROMs and I have absolutely no idea how to do it. I've tried searching everywhere but I can't seem to find out how to do it. There is no information for 2.3.2!
Apparently, 2.3.2 is a beta version and I have no idea how my phone has Gingerbread.
To check whether my phone was already rooted or not, I installed Titanium Backup and it does not run because it needs "root privileges". So, my phone is not rooted.
Please can someone help me on what I need to do? I'm completely lost and desperately in need of help! A step-by-step guide would go a long way!
Thanking you in advance!
The easiest way to root is via super one click. You need to instal the same. You'll find the link in xda forums.

Yes, firstly you need to read the numerous guides already available in xda.
Secondly an excellent single source for firmwares, guides and pc tools is samfirmware.com
Thirdly, and only after you have done extensive research here you desperately need to update your firmware. You must have bought your phone second hand because 2.3.2 JV1 has never been officially released. It was the first leaked alpha release of gingerbread for SGS several months ago and is VERY experimental. An excellent source for current GB 2.3.3 JVH is Ramad's link here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
Best of luck...you've bought a cracking phone and the members here are very helpful (as long as you do your bit and thoroughly familiarise yourself with site content)
Thank you ever so much for the kind help!
I managed to find a website that had a step-by-step guide in very little words (but it was a complete guide) and that has helped me with my problems. I've updated to Android 2.3.3.
Yes, this community is great.
I was the same bit just read the development forums and figured it out

Unfortunately CF root doesn't work well with it but this method does: -
How to root and install busybox:
* Download Odin version of FuguRoot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (Remember to thank nikademus for his excellent work!)
* Download and extract the original and untouched Kernel:
XWJVH Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVB Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XWJVA Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
XXJVK Kernel: Download (5.6 MB) (Double-Click to extract)
* Flash zImage-root tar file as PDA with no pit and no re-partition, let the phone boot until it enters charging mode then disconnect the phone.
* Re-enter Download Mode
* Load the extracted original Kernel tar file as PDA only, no pit and no re-partition, connect the phone and flash the original Kernel.
* Done!
Enjoy your SGS.
Supercurio's kernel is excellent too. I rooted via fuguroot which worked fine, but have now flashed supercurio's.

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,
Overflow255
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!
Hi to all,
I am posting the link for a cwm as closest to stock for the european atrix (nordics greece), with bootloader unlocked, rooted, mem and battery fix. It's as close to stock with the aforementioned modifications. I thought this cwm
may be helpful to fruitcakes (they were missing the european ones) or anybody who want to revert to unlocked,rooted stock.
The process I followed was the following:
1. Flash from 2.3.6 based rom to stock 2.3.4 of the european sbf (nordics and greece) 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20-release-keys-signed-NonEFIGSRetail-EU (kindly uploaded by haki.gr)
2. unlock (intl fix 1)
3. install romracer's cwm
4. rooting with root_cwm.img
5. memory fix with ramfix.img, and
6. battery fix with jug6 fix2.img
7. cwm full backup (including webtop) and upload

Hi, thanks for this. I tried installing using Koush CWM 5.0.2.0 and I get:

I'm running a euro atrix (originally t-mobile) SIM unlocked, rooted, currently on CM9 ROM.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi Appy,
I tried to flash back, there was a system error, I think I messed up the recovery process. Just to be safe, I will remove the file, redo it, and post an MD5 (just in case of corrupt files).
I don't know if it makes any difference that I used the romracers.
brilliant. thanks a lot!

Hello all!, how do I find out my bootloader version I have green lens defy and when I go onto bootloader it says 09.10? is there anyway to be certain what bootloader version I have?
Thanks
If you are on a green lense and haven't flashed a Defy+ stock ROM, you are either on CGXX version 3 if you are on Eclair (not very likely) or on CG version (the so called BL version) 4 if you are on Froyo.
Is there no other way to find out my bootloader version? because a bit ago I accidentally flashed Defy + SBF to my phone after that managed to recover it so is there a way I can find out what Im on right now? because every time I try and flash 2.2.2 Retail british it just says pass and keeps with white led light and then I have to reflash this eclair thing.
There is no way to tell by looking at the phone. You need to point the highest BL version ROM you have flashed, but if you have flashed GB stock ROM, you have to forget about your camera,
Thats the thing my battery and camera works fine? could I have BL5?
If you have ever flashed a GB stock ROM, you probably are on a BL 6 Chinese Froyo.
What SBF could I flash that wouldnt harm my phone to see if any work?
Questions go in the Q&A section
Dont know the previous history of my defy
Guys, I bought 2 defys(both red lenses) of ebay. Both came with miui 2.3.3 (android version 2.3.7) pre-installed, with second init. Kernel version is 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8 [email protected] #1 Fri June 3 11:40:33 CST 2011.
Dont know what's the highest version sbf was installed by the previous owner. in the first defy, flashed stock froyo sbf, resulting into soft-brick. tried to bring it back to life by all the methods given here on forum, but all failed. Finally installed BL6 defy plus df-125 sbf, and phone is back to normal, rooted with superoneclick with second init working.
Dont want this to happen on my second defy.
Want to know which sbf to flash in the second defy without elevating the BL version. Any method to check the current BL version.

Thanks for the links. Have already read them when my first defy was soft bricked. The issue is it failed to boot even with bl5 sbfs. Had to flash a BL6 SBF to make it working. My second defy which is still on miui 2.3.3 needs tinkering. But for that I need a safe base rom sbf, don't know the present bootloader version, because I got it from someone with miui preinstalled.

There was some Chinese app for this, but I don't recall the name. You can check bl version by hit and trial, starting from 5, or to be safe from 4. At the point when you don't get the boot loader error, you will come to know about the current bl version

if you want to flash a zip you have to reboot into custom recovery. you are in stock recovery.
if you didn't install cwm, you have to do that first. a start would be to read the beginners guide. (sticky in general section). good luck.

There you will most probably figure out how to install zips and stuff.
Baseband switching is an advanced task I'd say.
Things you probalby have to do first:
root > install 2ndinit > flash your zip and hope it's compatible
Good luck.

Does that work on stock roms as well? I don't think so.
Not everyone has CM or any other custom rom installed...
Hi guys! I have similar problem on my Defy+ (bl7), on every custom ROM I can make calls or use data for couple of hours, and then it suddenly stops. Only reboot helps, but not always. I tried switching basebands with bb switcher, not helping, also checked APN settings, tried flashing again and again and nothing helps.
Only thing i haven't tried is changing baseband version, from EPU93_U_00.60.00 (on custom ROM) to EPU93_U_00.60.03 (which i have on stock). But i have no idea how to do it! Any guesses?
Btw I'm from Croatia, mobile company VIP
