[Q] Any warning/tutorial for iusacell defy?

I am new for motorola and i have to ask, is there any specific way to flash other roms to the defy from iusacell mexico?; or do I follow the same process of the many topics in the dev seccion?
Long story short, i have been flashing custom roms to cellphones for 18 months, but all of them where from telcel or just tablets; but 1 month ago i bricked the only cellphone i tried from iusacell (SE x8) and I thought it happend because of the iusacell software; specially since i had an x10 mini pro(telcel) and never had a problem with it.
Is there anything i might want to know before starting the process or any suggestion that may be usefull? I really dont want to brick my new phone which i must have for 1 year long.
What I know already with some search is:

Read this entire tutorial thoroughly and it seams that the locked bootloader lets me play with the device all i want and get me going on the area, but i need a SBF of my country

Getting the SBF is another topic, but is this correct?, do i have any risk if i get the SBF?

[Q] DEFY without signal after brick! PLEASE HELP ME!

hi, first i'll introduce myself..
I'm Lucas Lo Faro, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I'm a java developer and an Android fan.
i think i'm having a problem with the baseband in my defy plus.
i use to have a defy (with froyo 2.2) and now a i have a defy plus with 2.3.4 and accidentally downgraded it to froyo 2.2 when i flashed the standart sbf of my old phone..
so i read a lot here and finally flashed the famous chinese firmware (2.3.6) to unbrick it..
and then i installed the MS2Ginger 4.0 rom but i cannot get any signal..
My issue is:
when i use the baseband switcher v4.0 i get this error:
"unable to detect your baseband configuration, it's possibly damaged. reset to default?"
so i renamed this directory: system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
(as i read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203297)
and used the baseband switcher v4.1 as i read in a post here.. but it still doesn't work..
any ideas?
please help meeee!
thx in advance..
i'm in Argentina and my service provider is Personal..
i don´t know what to do..
i thought it may be some rom incompatibility but it seems i cannot change the rom anymore.. because it would brick again..
thank you!

Stock Sbf
Try flashing the stock sbf again. Then root it, and flash a custom rom..maybe it'll work then

Have you tried to select "Claro" instead of "Personal" yet? remember the baseband switcher doesn't work if you select Personal.

You need to find the one that suits your phone's model and original firmware best, and be mindful of downgradeability. I'd pick the one that corresponds to my phone's country of origin and/or region in order to get the proper radio files.

Then you're going to have to take the time to read this and this.
I'm pretty sure most, if not all, of these SBF files have all the languages. I know mine supports Arabic, both input and system language. So just pick one that's closest to your region and/or corresponds to your carrier, and make sure you have the same version as your original ROM.
If you flash a ROM that has a higher CG number than the one you're on, you won't be able to downgrade, or it will not be as simple anymore. If you don't care about this, than just make sure you're flashing a higher version; you won't be able to boot if you're on Gingerbread 2.3 and flash a Froyo 2.2 ROM.

Why you need the stock rom? If you want it for waranty, you have to flash the latest one for where you're from. If you just like the blur, you could have a look at:

First - it's sbf not sfb. SBF is a file format used in bootloader flasher RSDlite. And what meaning you mean rom? Rom as a part of memory or rom as a new system? Well sbf and rom it's one and the same thing, also rom is internal memory where you can put your files.

Ok, thank you for your answer.
I just wondered difference between sbf and a custom rom, and why custom rom (like CyanogenMod) aren,t in sbf format...
Sbf more easy to use and without root!

Well sorry. My journey and experience grows with every month.
Okay:
SBF file is an ultimate file with all modules and partitions developed by manufacturer. It means that in sbf you have everything - bootloader updates, specific kernel, android system files, motorola drivers, motorola software, radio (GSM) update and many other things that i don't even know that they exist So imagine that you just have device, with nothing, empty - only bootloader. SBF file will make your device live properly.
In case of custom roms, you have only system data, so - no update of bootloader, radio etc. Sometimes (not in motorola), rom package can contains new kernel, but that's all (for our droid kernel's are separate zip's). I think that creation of sbf file is just not necessary, and can be difficult (i think because of motorola closed source of RSDlite and sbf), opposite to installation from recovery(Recovery is power-users creation and it's open source, so everybody can access instructions how he can build rom to work with Recovery - much easier huh?). And if you 've had empty device, with custom rom you won't be able to start.
That's why sbf files are used to unbrick device.
And by the way and warning - Argentinian SBF file contain radio update which corrupt GSM signal. 3G works fine, but 2g (gsm) is terrible, and there's no fix for this, since argentinian sbf contains also bootloader update which means you cannot flash any other sbf than argentinian using RSDLite.

Fresh info based on dettofatto's (and mine) experience - it is possible to have argentinian rom with eu radio. You just have to flash argentinian sbf using sbf_flash under linux.

[Q] Working Stock SBF (Froyo) for defy mb525 bricked : /

I have did a great blunder :crying:. I have rooted my phone and have not took any back up. I was installing new font. Due to that i dunno how the system font became bold and with some whimsical mind (eh :silly: i thought not to read stuff and tried this stupid thing) i deleted a font file something like droid bold something. When I rebooted it was bricked eh and I have no back up of SBF anything else than contacts. Now I am searching for stock SBF but all those given on other posts are now not available. Please give me working link or suggest me any solution to get it in working condition again:
My phone as I have checked before is SoC model and have froyo 2.2 I again did mistake not have saved full specifications anywhere one more thing that it says made in china.

Try one link from this page forum.frandroid.com/topic/54848-rom-stock-android-froyo , if it doesn't work for you, I have this one : JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_164-003_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTFR_P014_A008_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf and I can upload it on a server if you need.
