Ajit,
A few questions
Is it a Defy or a Defy plus?
What is the name of the SBF that you flashed via RSD lite.
9.10 is not the boot loader version.I am assuming you are probably on BL7 (boot loader)and the SBF that you are trying to flash is a lower boot loader version . This happened to me when i flashed a Defy plus SBF on my Defy and then tried to downgrade just to find out that there was no returning back (as of today).
Here are the steps that i followed to get my phone working and i sincerely hope this may help you as well :
1) If you are on Defy plus (MB526) you can try flashing the rom mentioned in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013. It will also help you to get a rooted device.
The above step should get you a working phone ,however if your device is a Defy (as you mentioned in the OP) you will end up having a non functional camera and experience battery drains.
In order to rectify this you can download this awesome rom from Quarx from the following URL http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/ (CM10-20121018-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip is the one that you should be downloading)and apply then the V3 update.
Your phone should now be running an awesome Jelly Bean based rom with everything working perfectly (well almost its still a Nightly Build)
The steps mentioned above is what got me a working phone and there could be other ways as well . This is a wonderful forum and i am sure that experts will help you in getting your problem resolved.:good:

I understand that at this point you are stuck at bootloader error message that you have mentioned in the title of this post. Connect your device to a PC and flash the SBF(stock defy rom) that you can download from the link below using RSD . Once RSD lite shows the status as "Finished" , you should then be able to boot normally. Hope this helps.

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

Follow intrustions and flash using RSDLite.
I personally tried it worked on my defy.
Hi! Im new here but only in number of posts. Ive been reading this forum for some time now.
My problem is that my defy goes only in stock bootloader (i think i did something wrong with recovery after i flash ics rom). My CWM does not work. I tried RSD Lite but 2.1 rom does not work (bootloop). Maybe i should use 2.2 rom (i have flashed froyo kernel).
I feel like noob now...
Pls answare if someone knows what to do...
I must mencioned that ics worked but than i've installed CWM (i thought that it is uninstalled) and reboot, than the phone bricked...
Instal the froyo sbf for your location. If you only have official eclair (some countries in Latin America I think) just flash that if you have never flashed an froyo sbf. That way you can keep warranty. Afterward wipe(factory reset) in the stock recovery.
That is what i did... by the mistake i downloaded wrong spf... my phone got crazy... than i downloadaded good spf but i didnt wipe factory... still phone was crazy but than i read yours post and i realized how stupid i was... all now is really good! thank you!!!!!!
@MOD: Please do not delete this thread, because we are facing some crazy issues with some MB526 and this won't be solved in other sections, cause that is not a normal "brick" ... it must be solved by devs or nobody will solve it ...
if you have any questions for that, please PM before doing something to this thread ...
so let's post the problem ...
HELLO DEVS ...
It seems we arefacing some crazy issues with some MB526 (only?) that seem to be really bricked. They are just bootlooping. It doesn't matter which sbf is flashed. Even full wipes won't help ...
the only working things are RSD Lite and Stock Recovery ...
It themes like i have faced this problem at first and i wrote to Epsy and walter ... the only idea was, that there may be a broken partition ... i then left the phone for 3 weeks ... now, there are more people with the same error ...
any dev that might have an idea is welcome ... i't seems there is something new for us ...
PS: here's a thread of it in the General-Section: KLICK
the first wrong you did it you flash the china rom which is to prevent you downgrade to froyo ths rom doesnt support defy plus the only you can do is to flash the new defy plus rom but your phone will be upgraded to bl7 that means no root but it wiil fix your phone http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php and dowloand DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-188 rom and will be ok but no downgrade and no root
Questions go in the Q&A section, not the Dev section
when will u people understand the defination of "brick". If u read the FAQ before doing these crazy stuffs, u will not face such problem. And specially in ur case, u haven't bricked ur phone yet, try a bit harder to brick it if u want.

Are you sure only this SBF will solve the prob?! There are BL6 SBFs with 2.3.6GB. Won't that solve the prob? And from what I saw in the linked thread: KLICK the issue came after the battery was dead and all.. What I suggest: Flash the original SBF(Whatever is close) and send it out to service center
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
