what the hell, this is the dev section, not q&a!!!
firt rule of xda: post in correct sections!
mod, please shut this thread, and give our friend a manual on how to use this forum!
sent from my jellybean defy...
this is the only working sbf for me right now
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed
in the general section you will find a sticky thread called all-in-one defy beginners guide, you will find all the info you need there.
second rule of xda: search before posting.
you bricked your phone by flashing sbfs without knowing what they really are.
you should check something: does your notification led turn white when connected to rsd lite (pc)?
and dont play around too much, because your battery will die eventually (the device cant be charged without a functional rom/kernel), and you will have to use the mcgyvers method...
just read everything you find in the thread mentioned above.

sorry, its late, misunderstood you.
have you tried switching basebands?
if you want to stay on stock, you will have to figure out which bootloader version you have (dont know the bl versions of stock roms by heart), and have to choose sbfs according to that.
but if youre up for custom roms, try any 2nd-boot rom of quarx, those should work.
but i cant stress this enough: read the beginners guide first!

There should be no problem if you can switch on your bootloader (vol+ + power on).
The solution is in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982 first post, Method 2 (files available, which is not the case in Method 1.).
Do all steps exactly as written. Then you can flash any CM 7 or 9. But probably you have no way back to froyo.
At least I have tesed it.

But I had the same. And this method helped. You loose nothing if try.
Flash with RDSLite (it is eclair with CG5, then exact steps with CM7 and next flash. You will get kind of CM7 (here I also cleared private data from a system which somehow made the internal memory full), which you may stay with or change to any CM, MIUI, WIUI etc.
Ok, so you tried to flash another ROM and couldn't press bootloader. Which sbf did you flash to revive it?
Also read the whole OP of the threat posted before.

and i cant say to my friend to buy me another one because he is poor and i care for him.if nobody can help me,i will send it in service and i'll pay(hope to not be so expensive).anyway thank you all.i will stil wait for u answers.maybe u can think at something.

Hello,
at first, sorry for my Eng.
I´ve tried to flash my Defy (G), according to a Czech manual. BUT, I did´t know this page. So i upload into my phone by RSD this f*king T-mobile DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-2312_TMOUK_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8TMDE011.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRTMDE_P029_A033_M008_Service1FF.sbf.
Phone is working, but camera and LED didn´t. Maybe something more not working.
Is somewhere a some one simply manual how to upload an old .sbf? Because if i try to upload JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR.sbf by RSD, phone is dead. Only black screen. Now working only the DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-2312_TMOUK.sbf
I try to read some helps here and other forums, but don´t understand. As I say, my Eng is not so good. And in flashing and rooting I´m rookie too. More than a month without phone
I don´t know why I can´t reply down, so I write it here... Cman41 - this doesn´t work.
You flashed a wrong SBF (BL7) to yoyr green lens defy..
Your camera will not work and you cannot go back to your previous version.
You are pretty much screwed. But there is a bit of hope for you. What i would try to do is follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15341774&postcount=8
Good luck..
you flashed full GB sbf and tried going back to froyo by flashing this cee sbf, thats why you get stuck in bootloops.

(BTW: next time, read carefully before you mess with your phone)
hi people,
i have a SE x10 mini and its flashed with latest naa kernal and CM7mini.
im swapping it for a motorola defy tomorrow and just want some general answers if possible.
i see on the cm7 instructions it says *Flash froyo* then from clockwork install the .zip. ( similar to x10 mini )
but what steps do i need to take once i get the phone?
do i need to root it first then install a custom recovery first? or can i just chuck the CM7.zip on the sd card and flash?
im a little confused as i have only owned this x10 mini and i know how to flash kernals etc to this phone, just confused with the motorola
any help would be appreciated
regards
come on, at least look at the big Q & A threads before burdening others. I saying this to you instead of answering your questin, so that you at least give the matter some attention yourselves.
May the search be with you!
lol,
i have been reading up.
im not sure on this froyo, eclair etc
how would i know what i have when i get it?
will it say froyo in settings?
with the x10mini its all pretty much easy, no need to find what version or anything, just download cm7mini flash naa and flash.
so im a little confused with the defy,
ive been reading up and understand enough,
but i take it the steps i take is
To root the phone
install the 2ins app to install recovery
then flash cm9?
or do i need to use RSD lite to flash the froyo rom first?
reading the faq is pretty straight forward but i havnt seen the phone yet ( played around with it) so im not sure of the version etc.
im in the uk
in settings it provide ur the Android version. 2.2.2 is froyo... but ... that's not the only problem. from were u buy the phone? reseller or from private

Sent from my mini cp using tapatalk 2
ok than ur don't had a problem with the bootloader! it's not that easy as for ur x10mini cause the locked bl in the defy.
in general section is a thread there u find 'custom' sbf files, that u can flash with rsd light. it's the easiest way to get a good ROM on the defy, in only one step. the files are all rooted and with 2nd init. from that point u easy can flash other ROM through CWM, only beware for higher bootloader. ur defy is maximum bl5 I think.
Jelly powered.Defy
Edit:

Edit2: and before u ask, we don't can flash custom kernel, only custom ROM.
how do i find out what bl# i have?
will it say in rsd lite?

No, rsdlite cant say ur the bl version,
ur can use the tool u find in that post
and if ur dont speak chinese in that post u have the answer for the cryptic buttons :good:
First of all, what kind of defy will you get?
Defy, Defy+ or Defy Mini?
The steps to install a custom rom are very easy.
1. root your defy
2 install cwm
3. make a nandroid backup with cwm
4. download the Rom you want to install
5. reboot into cwm and install the Rom.
This is a short instruction. For details instruction go to the Defy developments threads. There you find detailed instructions, and how to install custom Roms.
Sent from my GT-P7500 using XDA Premium HD app
It depends on which rom that you want to install and if you have green or red lense (because of the kernel).
But you will find these infos in the instructions of the rom thread.
its on 2.1 right now and Id like to install a different version. even a custom rom, what should i do?
after looking a bit i want this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110
or this Cm 7 rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654

Android 2.1= Eclair
Android 2.2= Froyo
You can't do anything until you update to 2.2
Search for RSD Lite to flash Froyo SBF files (ie stock ROMs). Plenty of info in this forum. Remember to wipe data & cache after flash.
After that, root, install 2nd-init.
For custom ROM I recommend CM10 4.1.2 since CM7 is a bit outdated.
Checked out this???

I have read it and did not understand what to download or is it safe for my phone... One peace of info, leads me to another and I get confused.
Ok, so what exactly is your problem? chandujram linked the beginners guide, where you may find that you need RSDLite (the flashing tool) and a SBF file to flash matching your phone and region (and provider if you want) - both are linked in the thread. Follow the instructions to flash the SBF to your phone and you have Froyo/Gingerbread. This thread should give you a clue, what SBF is Froyo or Gingerbread - and what bootloader they bring. you have read and understood, that certain bootloader versions come with some restrictions, haven't you? Good. Then follow the instructions in the thread for the rom you posted.

I didn't understand which version is for me. I know how to use the RSDLite tool, and I know how to root, I just need to be told which version to download.
Ok, what provider do you have, in what country do you live/use your phone and what Android version shall it be after flashing?

I live in Israel. My carrier is Orange but I believe it previously belonged to Cellcom (another carrier).
I want to install CM7 because it seems awesome but it requires froyo 2.2 in order to flash. And Im on stock 2.1
Latest CM7 build is the best
@rizeN50:
Have you even read the thread? He ain't on Froyo or Gingerbread, yet.
@Bei60:
Well, Israel makes it quite easy, doesn't it? The SBF-list only shows one entry for Israel and the other thread shows only one entry, too. Either of them should be fine, but I didn't check them. If in doubt, take the one from the SBF-list. But I don't know, if they're GB oder Froyo.
Hello guys
Friend of mine gave me Motorola Defy to flash into stock rom as guy from local repair shop told him that this cannot be unlocked to all networks as long as its run Cyanogenmod and there is must to install original stock rom.
I have downloaded stock droid developers in ".sbf" extension and was researching xda in order to find out how to flash it but more I researched more I afraid become to do it.
I have found so many warnings not to downgrade that phone to Froyo, some posts saying not to flash ".sbf" at all but asked you guys for help.
Is there any safe way to reduce possibility of bricking this Motorola to the minimum?
Could someone advise me what should i do in this case? Should I give up flashing?
Helpful informations:
MB525 - on the label under the battery
MB526 - detected by system CM11-20140731-NIGHTLY-mb526
Recovery - TWRP
Thank You in advance for any help provided.

Hi, you can try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50699347&postcount=511 to unsimlock while staying on cm11, but no idea if it will really work.
I have flashed my defy many times without any problems, i have used a sbf from this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 and kept it as reference in order not to use a downgraded sbf.
Just make sure the defy is fully charged, rsd lite + motodrivers are installed .

Flashing with RSD Lite didn't want to work as program didn't want to discover my phone, found another solution which is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775913
Simple and works 100% even when my phone didn't turn on because wrong sbf, I could flash as many as I wanted to get the working one, which was mb526 2.3.6 version surprisingly
...
But now I need to get this devices rooted and all xda tutorials are about reflashing rooted sbf and installing twrp after that. Could someone advise me how to recognize rooted sbf which will be compatible with mb525??
I have tried framaroot to avoid flashing again but it didn't work unfortunately.

Pre-rooted rom must have "rooted" in their name, framaroot works for me.
