[Q] DX stuck in stock bootloader/recover? HELP!!!!!

I was running the Fission 2.4.3 rom and it was having some problems because I read that it was because I was running on 2.2.1 kernel and I downloaded 2.3.340 Kernel Updater (2.6.32.9-g55626e1) and BP_C_1.09.07P Baseband Updater (also known as your radio file) from http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html then I installed both of those, now when I boot up to the Bootloader 30.03, it says, err:A5,70,00,00,23 Battery OK OK to Program Connect USB Data Cable. The phone also lets me boot in to the stock recovery by pressing Power and Home. Please help me I need help and I cant figure it out.

You should be on Bootloader 30.04. I would suggest grabbing the full .320 SBF, and the system-only .340 SBF, then flashing them both in order. After flashing them both go into the Motorola recovery and do a factory reset.

How do I do the SBF thing if I can only get in to the Bootloader 30.03 screen and the stock recovery screen. I have the clockwork recovery installed but i cant get to it. HELP

SBF is done from the bootloader menu you are already in. This link will help you with the process. If you are still on the original Froyo OTA, you will need the .320 Full SBF, and the .340 System-Only SBF. I cannot provide links to them due to a C&D notice, but they are not hard to find using Google.

If all depends on the kind of SBF that you flashed. If you have flashed a FULL sbf then you can't downgrade most likely. If you flashed a FIXED sbf then downgrading shouldn't be a problem.
I made the same mistake in the beginning but luckily I only flashed a FULL 2.2 sbf which is stable. For now I always start from this rom, get root on my phone using superoneclick, install 2ndinit, reboot into 2ndinit recovery (volume down when led turns blue) and I install the nandroid backup that I placed on My SD card using "install from zip".
It would help if you gave some more info on which sbf you flashed?

[Q] Need help with installing ICS on Defy+

I recently bought Defy+ with 2.3.5. and i want to install ICS but i don't understand a thing about SBF files, Nandroid stuff. Rooting and installing custom ROM-s doesn't seem to be a problem only this thing about upgrading and downgrading SBF is what I dont understand.
Can anybody explain me in simplest way what are SBF files and how to put ICS on my phone.

This is what SBF's are all about.
And this is how to flash CM9 ICS.

Ok, but would i be able to put my stock ROM back after i install that ICS?

Just stay away from flashing SBF files and you'll be fine and will always be able to go back to stock.
NB! The only SBF you should ever flash, is your STOCK SBF! If you obey this rule, you'll be just fine
P.S. This post was written in font size 7 for a reason and the reason is not that I'm yelling. It's just because many people here listen to other newby's, advising them to flash this or that SBF and then can't go back. It's for your own good, guys

First go and find your stock(faktory)rom then look if you have red(bayer) or green (SOC) camera lens
root your phone
install 2nd init or use twrp from goo-inside or goomanager app
Boot into cwm recovery
Make a backup of your stock rom
Now you can go back via recovery system to your own setup whenever you want to
Just wipe data , look for the right kernel and restore your backup
You can flash your orginal sbf with rsd lite whenever you want and your phone is nearley like a new one.
Maybe some infos are stored on phone what you have flashed on

So I do this:
1. Root phone
2. Install 2nd init
3.Backup of my stock ROM
And than install ICS like it is explained here.
And if I want to return stock ROM I just find backup file on my computer and install it with rsd lite.

No need to backup your original ROM - that's what your stock SBF is for By flashing it, you will return your original system, that was installed by Motorola and will remove 2nd init, root and all traces of ever manipulating your phone

That's the safest way! However, you can't always find your original SBF (e.g. my original rom is 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE, 4.5.1-134 DFP-74).
You can download the available SBF for defy+ here: h**p://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php

So if i want to take my phone to service i just download 2.3.5 Motorola Stock ROM and flash it like normal.
What is difference between flashing ROM and SBF files?
And you told me that only SBF i should flash is my stock SBF but want i change my SBF files when i flash ICS?

I have a nandroid of the stock rom that came with my phone.. how do I see what build version it is? Im on cm7.2. I cant restore it because of hash errors. So if i find out build info i can flash that particular sbf

If you flash just the ROM, the kernel and the other files will be the same and most important you won't burn eFuses, so you'll be able to come back to older version.

Auris 1.6 vvt-i told you to flash your stock SBF to avoid burning eFuses and because in this way you will never have problems with warranty (some versions could be not available in your country). You don't need to flash full SBF before upgrading to ICS, just check the kernel and flash the right version.

Black Screen [Flashed Wrong SBF] need help for warranty

Hey Guys, I know that there is a tutorial for this but i couldn't figure it out, I am having a Green Lens Defy, I have a broken display so.. I need to send it to service.
- I had a custom ROM on it
- Flashed Froyo_CEE_2.2.2 and the screen is black now
- Tried JORDN_U3_97.21.51 but no success
- I need to have the Froyo_CEE_2.2.2 on my device because it is the official ROM in Romania
Thx in advanced

go to bootloader
Flash 2.2.2 froyo sbf with rsd lite.
after that go to stock recovery, wipe data/chage than reboot yor phone
go to bootloader and flash 2.2.2 froyo sbf with rsd lite.
And it will boot up.

This way will not work in this case. As he flashed Chinese eclair (JORDN_U3_97.21.51) with BL5, he has no way back to froyo, which is BL4

[Q] Bricked Defy

Hello all,
I know that there are some other posts about this but I just can't get the hand of it.
I have bricked my defy and the only way to make it run again is to flash a sort of chinese sbf that I can't find anymore. All that I flash say that they flash ok and pass but phone is not booting up
I have tried some of the files from here
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 and some others
Could you please guide me to the sbf file to flash to reconver my define and the procedure to root it and perhaps install defo ROM or CM7
Thanks
