[Q]Issue.. With SBF flashing and bootloader version.. Help...

I have defy+ (MB526)..
It was on stock 2.3.6 when i brought it. I was using CM10 by Quarx recently..
I Flashed bootmenu1.0.4+CWM5.0.3.1+modules.zip this morning and now phone is stuck on MOTO logo... if i go into bootmenu, i can't go in recovery.. What can i do? I have the backup of my previous working config.. but from where can i flash it????? I tried flashing via install update.zip in motorola recovery but got and error "Signature verification failed"..
I searched a lot... got many threads telling how to flash SBF and all but i don't know my bootloader version, and one of the thread said if i flash SBF of wrong bootloader version my phone will be bricked.. I don't know my build version..
As i can't get my phone to boot, i can't find my build version to know which bootloader version i have...
When i go into bootloader by pressing vol up + power button i get this message:
Bootloader
09.10
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Searched but I can't figure out if i have bl6 or bl7.. and then which SBF to flash.. I don't want to downgrade below 2.3.6..
SBF's i found:

You're probably on BL6
Dude if you bought your DEFY+ about 5-6 months back, you're probably on 4.5.1-134-DFP-132 or 1321, which is BL6....
Try flashing 4.5.2-109_DHT-25 coz its kernel apparently has better battery life.
If that doesn't work, flash 4.5.1-134-DFP-132.
That'll definitely work.

check your bl version from this thread

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125_GR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P019_A020_HWp3_WIG148090_Service1FF.sbf.g
is 4.5.1-134 DFP 125 so it has has bl6.
just see from the name of the SBF provided

Dude if u can't go past the moto logo, I don't think there's a way of checkin the BL.
Just do a blind BL6 flash. It'll work.

Is this english??

solved

It might have default Chinese, but u can choose language on boot.
Language won't be a problem, just choose English in the first screen u see on boot up.

Cause there are good features in its nandroid....

[SBF]4.5.1-134-DFP-132 is this rooted????? Sorry m noob at this... Doing this for the first time...

When you flash an SBF file, what you actually flash is a STOCK MOTOROLA FIRMWARE.
So, no, it is not rooted. But why is that important? You can root both bl6 and bl7.
And what the the hell did you mean with "DHT-25 also can't run CM7??" All the DEFY+ firmwares contain Gingerbread kernel. You can use custom ROM's on absolutely and and every of them, it doesn't matter. Some people say that they get better battery life with one or another, put am not really sure about that, never checked.
So, first - stop panicking.
Second - read more in the future.
Third - don't start panicking again

Check the date of the post - December 2011. There were no DEFY+ (Gingerbread) builds back then, that was the problem.
After you flash it, it won't boot, you'll get a bootlop. To fix this just boot into stock recovery and do a data wipe, all fine after that!
Just for the record, all the DEFY+ sbf's are available here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php

Hey man...
just logged in again and saw ur posts...
As the other posts say, NO SBF is rooted out of the box...
Use Super one click or Doomlord's scripts to get root...
Hope you have fun rooting.

I think it is the "Retail Taiwanese" version.
I don't exactly remember now, but i had searched about a year back for my Defy+, and found out that its "Retail Taiwanese - DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN"

There is a retail Asian version which was used for Indian release.

I dont remember the topic right now but check my all post to different topic. You will find one for rooting. I have used the same.

I had found the retail asian somewhere, i can't recall.

Just flash any dfp231, root it, edit build.prop to look like your screenshot details, use a root file manager to remove the root manager(superuser or super su) and you're good to go

[Q] Root Italian Retail SBF BL7

I had to flash this SBF:

and my phone finally booted again after the power off while flashing CM10.1
Now I want to root it and flash CM10.1 again. The first time I had BL6 so it rooted without problems, but of course SuperOneClick didn't work for BL7.
Links in this rooting guide are broken and I can't go back to BL6 so I'm stuck with no root
Is it possible to root my phone again?

Thanks for this and I just use rsd lite and flash it yes?

yes

Make sure sbf downloads completely, best to verify md5.
Install moto drivers before flashing, charge battery before.
