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

Flash your phone with Froyo SBF... refer to this link for more information on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
[Note: Use only Froyo SBF cause this may make your phone undowngradable, unrootable. Alternatively you may use any fixed sbf.]

There is no info in your previous posts. What stock motorola sbf's have you flashed? Can you get into bootmenu.
How are you trying to flash MIUI? If you're stuck on bootscreen you have to flash stock rom again (and wipe in stock recovery) and next do all the needed steps to get a custom rom working.
Don't just flash any sbf please and tell us witch u already have tried as you will have to flash a rom with the same bl nr.

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

Boot into cwm and factory reset, wipe cache and dalvik cache also. Then re flash ROM of your choice. If it still won't boot I suggest trying another ROM or Odin back to stock and re root your device.

I had same problem as you and i solved it.

it s due to wrong kernel version
I download china kernel from tezet (even if i m in france) and i install it (i start recovery mode with connected to power)
Hope you can resolve your problem

You are right, the problem is caused by flashing different roms contain different kernel. I met similar problem before. Flash correct requested kernel before flashing the rom you want is necessary.
Suggestion for other users: Before flashing new rom, know what is your current kernel version, and do necessary adjusted work if needed.

The problem may be caused by flashing the CM10 directly, you need to flash a updated kernel (check what tezet said about the kernel update in his CM10) from froyo kernel to CH kernel before flashing CM10 (not the first two CM10 release, which asks for froyo kernel to run.)
I had similar problem when I flashed directly from froyo kernel to a CM10 that asks for GB kernel to run. So I flashed a updated kernel before flashing CM10, then it CM 10 working.
I assume the problem is caused by different kernel. We usually call it "M logo stuck" problem. Hope my suggestion works. And hope your work will work soon.
Best wishes,
Peter

[Q] Defy bricked

Hello all,
For the 2nd time in 3 years I have bricked my phone. I was using Cyanogen 7.2 in the past and today I have decided to try MIUI.
After a flash i was geting reboot before Android was loaded to I decided to install the base OS.
Installed RSDLite5.6 -- shashed one of the oficial Andro for version 2.2.1 I think (closed page and I don't have it in front now) and device is all dead.
I know in the past I have flashed a chinese ROM and was working again...rooted and all of that but I can't find a download link for a ROM to do this.
I am not shure how to proceed also.
Can you guys help me, it will be much apreciated.

I've got the same problem, tried to root with superoneclick, first time it didn't go through, 2nd time it went through. Phone turned off (instead of rebooting) and screen is black since then, doesn't come on....

I can't flash a custom rom now because I don't have recovery. The only thing I can do with my phone is to enter download mode.
As far as I know I have to:
- flash a new room that I can use it to boot device and work on it.
- root device and install recovery
- install cooked rom
My problem is that I don't know what to flash so that I can boot my phone --- now it is in the dead phase

You have to flash an sbf, not a ROM(that's what you will flash once you get back recovery). Read the defy beginners guide to get the steps. Basically:
Get sbf (search and download)
Get rsdlite and Motorola USB drivers
Flash it (from boot loader mode)
