I had 2 Motorola mb 520 identical phones same version, build, etc I put cm10 on one phone, one is still original rom version 2.2. I want to clone the orginal rom so I can copy it to the phone that has cm10 on, if thats not possible I want to put Bravox on it. It appears the bootloader on cm10 doesnt recognize any other zip files so before I do anything more I wanted to see what would be the most logical solution.
Thanks

any one can help me and tell me why i keep getting black screen when ever i flash
any one can help me please ?
thanks in advance
I think that is because you flashed a level 5 sbf so you can flash a full sbf with level greater or equal than 5
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
Easy thing first, wipe. Check motto drivers and check if you are installing correct sbf. when it says pass, don't unplug phone. Wait for it to restart itself then wipe again
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
You flashed full 2.3.4 sbf which contains CG31.smg and CG39.smg ver=5
from now on you are stuck with limited options of downgrade. There is no possible way to flash a sbf which contains CG ver less than 5 now. "downgrade" to you now means you will have to restore nandroid and then flash fixed sbf which has had CG31 and CG39 replaced with those two Code Groups from one which is of ver=5. I'm not sure, but "maybe" you can flash any sbf you like and then flash fixed sbf from that sbf with these two code groups replaced with one containg CG=5
There's a Eclair (2.1) Chinese SBF with CG level 5. Use that, root, install 2ndinit, flash a fixed SBF.
Don't use the camera flash though!
Good idea!
But the fact remains that he is always stuck with CG31 and CG39 at level 5. Regardless of how he downgrades this will never change. As far as warranty purposes it will never be possible unless his region officially releases a system containing these two CG's at level 5. It is nice though to be able to "downgrade" and still install custom roms and stock froyo roms and the like but ALL of these will still need a fixed sbf containing level 5 CG31
Follow the steps from this tutorial and you will succeed.
Hi there,
I recently bought a brand new Defy+. For start, some general facts about my phone from Settings -> About phone (which I believe will be important for my questions)
System version: 45.0.1250.MB526.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.00
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9-gbdd614e
Build number: 4.5.1-134_DFP-125
I did not flashed anything to it, it is not rooted (yet).
So now the questions:
1) Should I upgrade to official 2.3.6, even if the system update thing in settings says, that there is no update available for my phone? Will I lost my warranty in that case, without the posibility to go back?
2) I would like to get rid of that Motoblur thing, and I would like to have a Cyanogenmod ROM there (or is there anything better than Cyanogenmod?) What should I do?
I readed the general guides about SBF, flashing CM7 and so on, but I don't completly get it (and most of the info considers only Defy, not Defy+). It is my first Android phone, so please, be patient
2.a) Which one is the official stock ROM that I have? On the site with the SBFs, there are two of them matching my system information, they differs in that strange combination of letters and numbers which begins with UCADEFYEMARAB or USADEFYEMARAB). Which one is mine?
2.b) Do I need to do anything with stocked SBF? Do I need to flash another one to be able to "freely" test new ROMs?
3) I know the steps after I will sort this out, just root, install 2nd init, copy zip files to sdcard, reboot, and then follow the steps that comes with each ROM. Or do I get it wrong?
Thanks for reply and again sorry for my dumb questions
Up to the Defy+, I was stuck with Win Mob. phone, things there were completly different, for Android it seems it is not as easy as booting into a bootloader, starting one-click flash utility on the PC and wait
Hi, I'm looking for a sbf file for my Defy (not +, red lens) with a CG version 5 or higher.
It's because I bricked my Defy so I flashed this sbf : JORDN_U3_97.21.51
It's US T-Mobile version so I can't phone in France with Orange. Someone told me it's a CG version 5.
If you have a solution to phone with this version in France, I'm taking it too
Thank you
So your phone is working but you have no signal or what?
ehhm, what do you want to do ???
is your phone booting and ready to go on the home screen? then you don't have to flash any sbf ...
if you can not call due to wrong baseband, there is a tool calles "Defy Baseband Switcher", that changes the Baseband to e.g. france orang version ...
hoped to help you ... and if so, please click "thanks"-button
The ~ same thing
I accidentaly installed the CM9 kernel when i should have installed the CM7 one with ICS. Then i made a nandroid restore of my previous CM7. Than... phone dead. Starting but no CWM no ROM booting.
As i have had CM7 with GB kernel i flashed ( not knowing) an old SBF than didn't booted. I tried the US T-Mobile 2.5.1. It boots, i can root it, install CWM.
But than when i try to install a CM7 nightly ( installed ok) it dies again. Starts but No CWM no Rom booting.
What to do? I don't know what SBF to flash or what method to install?

I tried Defy Baseband Switcher but it doesn't work. Thank you anyway.
SBF
You can download all the SBF's from the Wiki Page( Defy General Thread). But you are in my case. I have a thread opened in the Q&A. That SBF you installed is dreadful. So after 2 nights of searching until 4 am i got smth to work. For the record i didn't install a GB SBF. I wanted a Froyo one. The one that worked for me is this one > http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...1&highlight=cg
Follow the first guide. Go to Recovery Wipe data/cache, reboot with volume up pressed. Enter programming. Flash SBF. It starts in Chinese. Don't worry. On the first screen you see press the button/box (with Chinese writing) in the middle of the screen> select English> then Next> then press Later (as you don't need the MotoBlur crap). Than Root it with Superoneclick, install CWM and flash whatever ROM you like.
Warning: Do not turn the flash on the camera. With the Kernel on this SBF you will burn it. Install another Froyo Kernel with your ROM. Don't know how> ask.
Thank you but your link is dead...
Link update:

The one you installed is BL5. You can try the froyo above. Or someone PM'ed a couple o minutes ago with this option for the Eclair SBF:Root, install the cwm. Then wipe data, install kernel don't reboot and install cm7. I tried it and it did not work but maybe it works for you. Also if you don't know how to root the Eclair sbf you must do the following> Flash 2.21 , Run the archive(USB debugging On), let it finish/close by itself, flash the 2.51. Sorry, i can't attach files.. will try later
I'm in this kind of awkward situation...
I flashed this chinese Rom thingi-dingi to upgrade my BL to 6...
Then I installed CM10.
This also was kinda normal.
Yesterday i had a problem and decided to install my old nand backup....
it was, i think, corrupted.
Now i have huge battery problems, like defy wont work when not connected to wall charger...
well long story short, want to try and flash a DACH sbf over it.
But i need one that works...
Tried JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2, but it didnt boot up.
Now I installed this chinese SBF, but dont know if it will boot up...
so is there an official DACH FROYO SBF with BL6?
Its not about the Battery, its broken, but i went back to chinese rom and would just like to have a german stock rom with gapps and stuff...
Dont want to have CM10 until i have new battery, dunno why...
Hello all,
I'm no stranger to flashing ROMs and what not on my HTC Desire S, but I can't seem to be able to flash this Orange Israel ROM (here) on my wife's MS2.
I am currently running GB after a while back flashing MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E1014.0R_UCXMILE2GBQWRTGB_P016_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.
I have tried every method I could find in this thread to the letter, but no dice. Probably since using the version check tool it seems that in this ROM BL=2.
Is all hope lost? Can it be done?
Any and all help would be more than appreciated. I'm at my wit's end.
Thanks.
Still relevant.
Anybody have any wise words to inject?
Does anybody know?
Well, if you had GB then you're pretty much stuck there, no way to downgrade (actually there is, but you need a nandroid backup of froyo, and to follow the guide)

Thanks for the answer.
Since I don't have an old Froyo backup from my phone, will a backup from anybody else's phone work? If so, do you know where I can download one?
its simple....
1) enter in custom clockworkmod wipe/format data..
2) use RSD lite and put 2.3 official rom and run
3) the rom not run.. normal... because partitions is ext 4
4) enter in clockworkmod recovery power + T or anothers tips and format/wipe data ...this process force format for EXT 3
5) go RSD lite again put rom... and join android 2.3 again
