I think the title kinda explains for itself!
From what I started and where I got?
Well, firstly, I tried to install 3.4.3-11 Motorola SBF with fixed Blur provided this link:
"Here you are, buddy
Fixed.SBF plus Nandroid of 3.4.3-11
http://www.multiupload.com/PB10JC9NQV"
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537&page=7)
I moved to the older PC still running Windows XP to manage RSD Lite 4.9 to work and recognize my Defy. (it apparently worked)
After wiping all data and cache, I started the phone in boot loader mode and tried to use RSD to load the SBF.
Everything seemed to be fine. But.....After RSD finished the update, it said for me to "turn on my Device". Well, it was already on and stuck at Motorola Logo.
I waited for quite some time, took a shower, smoke a cigar.... And, when I came back, nothing, phone was still on moto logo.
I force restarted the phone removing the battery. Still got stuck at moto logo for quite some time.
Sooooo, I decided to wipe everything again and try to install the SBF again, this time with the one provided by "Pays Rom" thread.
That was when stuff got bad.
After that, I got stuck at Bootloader with a "error code" indication.
Alright, it was time to read some more cause I realized I fked something up! Then, I find out I could load a Devtree SBF and that would unbrick the phone being able to install another SBF.
No succecs, eventhoug I tried to load those previous SBF, I still got problems either with RSD Lite or got stuck at bootloader with a that "error code" problem.
As I didnt know what else to do, I loadead back the devtree and got that different error code on the phone. (one mentioned on the thread title).
And, this is pretty much my whole problem! lol
Any Ideas what should I do?
My Defy is from Brazil - Claro and was running 2.1 android at the beggining!
Tyvm!
it seems like we get the similar Err,my defy also stuck at bootloader Err,my Err code is a5 69 35 00 27,if you have solved the problem,please tell me something about it.

Nothing yet.
Still trying to boot anything in it. If I ever find something, I'll let you know!
I'm getting this error now on RSD Lite when trying to load the SBF 3.4.3-11
Failed Flashing process. Phone[0000]: Error flashing subscriber unit. Device API Error: 0xE003003F Adress: 0xB2383000 Command: ADDR (0xE023203F), phone conected
New error code prompted on Bootloarder:
Err:A5,70,39,00,27
Now it shows Motorola logo for a few seccconds.
Stuck at code 39 or smthing while trying to install another SBF (the one with PAys Rom)
Ok, it unstucked, now RSD shows "restarting" and the motorola logo is on screen.
Finally, it loaded.
I used Pays Rom after a few tries with the first fixed SBF and jumping to the Pays Rom SBF.
After sometime, it installed!!!!!
The phone just started!!!!!
How about your problem mate, wich point are u at?
To solve both of your problems:
download and install the original 3.4.3-11 sbf, no nandroid or anything else.
You should allways be able to get into the original motorola boot loader and from there install any of their SBF, but some of the sbf versions with android do not allow downgrader, therefore you should be sure to use the same version and not a lower one.

Thank you!
I managed to find that out by myself, but thanks for the help!!
I noticed it was a not downgradable version, but I don't really care as it fits what I was aiming and I don't have any intetions of going back to 2.1!

i don't know what's the meaning of the errcode
hello,
I also have a similar problem, stuck on the bootloader but I have the "low battery cannot program" error. When I try to charge the battery, the battery appears with a "?" inside...
Does anyone already get this problem ? Battery out of order ? software problem ?
Use the macgyver method with usb cables. Search the forum and be brave. I had the same problem

I tried a 2.1 SBF and it gave me a black screen.. the phone turns on, but keeps black.. so I re-flashed with a 2.2 sbf and got back to the same error..
Now I'm downloading the Orange 2.3 sbf file.. I dunno if it will work because I already tried 8 different sbf files

1) Try flashing on different PC to start fresh.
2) If you'd flashed so many sbf. You might not be able to remember them all. My guess is that you might be at froyo state(corrupted/failed system code), thus flashing another Eclair 2.1 sbf would not solve your issue. You must try on Froyo sbf only starting from bootloader mode and rsdlite 4.9 or 5.0.
3) Take note of your battery level as it might draining down while you attempting to put some resuraction on the device.
4) Try relax and take a bath and smoke a bigger cigar just like the OP of this thread did...
i too have this same problem, exept i dont know what ver i had and i flashed so many sbf. ive found some sbf that work but i get no signal.

Please, tell me how to solve that problem with bootloader error A5, 70, 39,00 27 in my defy?? You have said you solved it. please help
you need to be calm and cool with lot of patience. It takes upto 10 - 15 Minutes...
the flashing happens at the speed of your computer.
try to use original cables and use USB ports of your desktop motherboard or laptop without any extension cables.
keep your pc in NO SLEEP mode. Batter should be almost full before flashing ...these are some tips...
My Motorola Defy goes dead after flashing.
-No Recovery
-No bootlaoder
But when i connect it with RSD, white led turns on and RSD connect it.
I try 3 different ROMs for Flashing but nothing has been changed.
When pressing vol down and power not going into recovery.
When Pressing Vol Up and power not showing black screen with white Text for bootloader.
-After flashing 3 Roms, RSD shows status PASSED and phone Reboots but not turn ON.
-Battery charged with Universal Charger

I think I got the answer for you......
Use below mentioned steps and share the outcome:
1. Download the compressed SBF and extract using any software like 7zip or something - http://www.mediafire.com/?s3uc8cb782w1oue
[Note: Do not use any download manager while downloading.]
2. Use RSD Lite to flash the phone with the SBF file;
3. After flashing let the phone boot up and hopefully it will resolve the issue.
However if the phone is still in boot loops then try entering Stock recovery and wipe data/format and wipe cache also.
Please use the above steps and share the outcome.
ok i will download it and try it, but what i think is that, T Mobile is creating problem and i read some where there is only one SBF which work for T Mobile. Dont know for USA or UK. Mine cell is from UK.
Hopefully the link which you send helps me..
But the link you send for sbf is not down gradable. Can it create more problem for me if i install it and same black screen problem appears. And not rootable i think so how would i root it and move to custom rom,

I recommend DON'T flash that SBF! Why? : Its a chinese and has the potential to fry your LED! And since it is not downgradable and rootable you may get stuck!(See this. From what I have seen in few threads there is a big chance your battery is dead and not charged!!
okay, if battery is dead why RSD connect it and every time status passed message appears.
PLz tell me what to do

I understand your concern and I appreciate your comment however, I would like to point this out that this firmware is for "India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam" and its safe to flash I have flashed it multiple times and its Rootable and even my flash is healthy.
You may visit this link and Control+F "JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1":
http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
The chinese firmware which is suspicious of burning flash is "China - JDGC_U6_0.26.0" [Correct me if I'm wrong.]

You may use this firmware or any different firmware from this link : http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
The ROM which I have given you link is Rootable however not down-gradable.
You may refer this extract from All-in-one-Guide-for-Defy
SBFs
SBF is how Motorola packs all the information to be Flashed on your phone. Inside this package are a lot of other files, each of these files named with CGXX where XX is a number.
So when you Flash a Full SBF, it takes the phone memory, format it, create the partitions and then copy the information inside these partitions. Each partition corresponds to a CGXX file. Here is where the eFuse thing kicks in.
There are a couple of CG files containing the version number of the Android you are flashing. So let’s say you are on Éclair Stock, first version, no updates no nothing. This version has a Version 1 number. When the phone gets updated, this version changes to Version 2 for example.
Each Android version has each own ID, once you go up, you CAN NOT go back, and this version is in CG31 AND CG39 files inside the SBF.
FIXED SBFs
Is a modified SBF without the CG31 and CG39 files, thus allowing to move between Android Versions freely.
Since the Fixed SBF creates all partitions but /System (CG39) and CDT (CG31), we need to copy System data using a Nandroid Backup or the phone will probably not work using the existing /System.
Nandroid Backup
This is just a .zip file flasheable with a Custom Recovery, this will Delete/Copy all the files in the /System and other partitions (depending on the Nandroid) without formatting or remaking the partition thus not modifying the system layout, eFuse or stuff; this is almost harmless, meaning you CANT brick your phone doing it, though you can make Android not boot and a new SBF or Nandroid would need to be installed.
CG Versions
With that explained let’s get to business with versions:
CG Version 2: SBF 2.21 / 2.34 / Chinese (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) (Defy)
CG Version 5: SBF 4.5.0 / 4.5.1 (Gingerbread) (Defy)
CG Version 6: SBF 4.5.1 (Gingerbread, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
CG Version 7: SBF 4.5.1 (Latests Gingerbreads, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
ATTENTION: This CG 7 Version is NOT rooteable. You wont be able to flash a lower version ROM nor Root to use CWM.
If you try to flash a lower ID version than the one already on your phone, you will just get a Black screen after booting or a screen telling you to flash an official rom.
So, with this in mind, you can now hop between Android versions without screwing up your phone.
If you have an Éclair Defy and would like to keep the ability to downgrade to it, you should ONLY install FIXED SBFs of the Android Version you want to install, and then use the corresponding Nandroid Backup for that Fixed SBF.
Official SBFs
Here is a list of all the OFFICIAL SBFs, meaning they come with ALL CGs, these SBFs put your phone like Motorola sold it to you, just need to keep in mind that going UP in versions with FULL SBFS <WONT> I repeat, <WONT> allow you to go back to an older version.
Knowing this you should be able to test every single Android version out there and being able to go to Stock without issues. Just be sure to understand how CG versioning works and you should be fine.

The only thing which is important here will be to use a Froyo or newer version SBF.

JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1 is working...
thanks you for your precious time.....
Defy is seems okay now and will tell you if i found any bug in this JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1.
I think i flashed every time with eclair and that was the main problem. First time flashed with froyo and black screen gone.
Thanks again and plz tell to root this rom is as easy like what i did with orignal froyo.
I did it with Super one click and than use 2ndint and moved to custom rom.
plz tell should i follow all those steps for rooting and for custom rom, or there is something new to be done for this flashed Rom.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------
One important thing for your information is the reason behind those black screens was that you must have flashed Froyo SBF before; which was not down-gradable and now at this point you were trying Éclair which resulted in this issue.
So, the Downgradibility of your previous flashed SBF was causing this issue.
Now, as you have flashed this Froyo SBF; so, now onward in case you need to flash you phone you need to use SBF which should be Froyo or newer and must have “3.4.3” or later Build Numbers.
Hope this helps someone who needs this information.
okay
one bug found, market is still not updated to play store, and when i try to download it says download paused . i cleared both data and cache of market but still not downloading and stuck at paused.

But I used miui before flash, at that time I haven't experienced any low storage problem.

So basically I flashed Motarola Defy MB525 using RSD Lite because it kept rebooting at start up. I used this SBF to flash it: The Vodafone Britain version:
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-4.4_VFSBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYOVFGB_P021_A020_M001_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz
At first it worked fine but then after a couple of days it started rebooting again, so I'm trying to reflash it using RSD Lite again using the same SBF but for some reason it gets stuck at Phone[000]: Flashing Code Group 39: Executed 52%.
After about 30 min of waiting it just fails? Please help what can I do? I'm new to this whole thing, p.s the phones never been rooted. I've tried reading the all in one defy beginners but I just don't get it.
Help!
Anyone? Please help.

There are a few options
1) The sbf may have been corrupted, so try re-downloading and see if that works. Alternately try a different country's SBF for same android version. Be careful to NOT flash a Defy+ sbf (which can't be downgraded) on your Defy.
2) If you keep getting the same issue, then try latest/different version of rsdlite.
Best of luck!
Hi,today I have flashed original Motorola .sbf ,I downloaded it from here. It is 3.4.2_179-002, Retail Central Europe version. Now,after flashing it with RSD Lite the phone does not boot. There is no even Motorola logo at the start,nothing,its dead. How can I start the phone with this original .sbf? I want to have original froyo on the phone,and I know how to get back to CM10 but im not interesting in that now.
Thanks.

markos807, did the SBF flashing process complete successfully and did u get the message "Please manually reboot phone" in RDSLite window?
Did u verify the MD5sum of the downloaded SBF against the MD5sum given in the download page to check if the downloaded SBF file is not corrupted?
Are u still able to go to the Bootloader by pressing VOL UP+POWER button when the phone is switched off?
Only if u provide the above information, I can suggest what can be done next.
1.I dont remember what was the message,but I think it wasnt "Please manually reboot phone",but it was done,some other message saying its done
2.How to do that?
3.I cannot go into bootloader and when I connect a phone via usb to the PC the RSD Lite recognizes it so I can flash some other verified sbf.
Thanks for trying

Might I suggest, pull your Defy battery, replace it, do not attempt to get into bootloader, Leave it off. Just plug it in with usb after booting up RSD lite and see if connects on it's own. Sounds like a bad flash. I've connected that way numerous times.

1. Even I dont remember the exact message But I remember that it asks us to reboot the phone manually.
2. If the SBF which u are using is corrupted while downloading, it may lead to bad flash. U can google and download and use any of the md5sum checking tools. I use winmd5 application(I'm using Windows in my laptop), which is easy to use and it has UI unlike some other md5sum tools which have to be run through command line.
3. If RSD Lite recognizes ur phone, then try flashing the SBF once again. But ensure that the SBF is not corrupted as mentioned in point 2. If ur SBF is corrupted, try downloading it again. There are chances for a file to get corrupted while downloading. That is the reason why md5sum is mentioned in the download page to verify the file after download.
Winmd5 app says "Matched!". That means it is good?
Yes, if the MD5sum matches it means that the SBF file is not corrupted. U try flashing the same SBF again and see if it works.
@ markos807: Were u able to flash SBF successfully? I would like to know if ur defy is working fine now
Gingerbread (BL7) back to Froyo?
Did you already flash a Defy+ ROM with Gingerbread?
From a BL7 ROM there is no way back to Froyo. BL7 doesn't support that.
When I wanted to go back to froyo, I was flashing this sbf: JDGC_U6_2.13.0 China Unicom Thread/Download !!!BL6 kernel !!!
And that broke my flashlight! And because of that I want to go back to other official froyo sbf to see will the flashlight work. Do you know any other fix for the flashlight? Anything please?
Also, I am flashing same sbf second time now, will post the results.
Edit: Cannot boot the phone with any .sbf downloaded from here. The only .sbf that I can flash and boot the phone is JDGC_U6_2.13.0 China Unicom and that one broke my flashlight.

Mate, as you flashed BL6 sbf then you are stuck with BL6 and no way back to froyo other than chinese one.
Your flashlight could be burnt out - in such a case only moto service can help
What do you mean you cannot boot with any sbf from walter79 thread? Have you tried all of them? (You shouldn't). Or only froyo ones?
If you tried only froyos, then you can flash gingerbread BL6 to check your flashlight
And have you tried wiping data and cache from stock recovery? Is it accessible with power + volume down?
No, I cannot acess stock recovery. I have tried only froyo ones. Can you give me the link for that BL6 GB, I`ll flash it tomorrow because I really want to fix my flashlight.

Try any from a range 4.5.1-134_DFP-125 up to DFP-161. Higher are usually BL7, lower are BL5, so no use to flash
Link to the sbfs
I have succesfully boot up a phone with this sbf: DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125_GR_SIGN.. but my flashlight is still not working. The camera is not working at all.

Well, I suppose you've burnt your flash unfortunately with chinese froyo.
Your camera will not work with GB ROMS. It's normal. but it was you who flashed BL6 ROM on your green defy
You have to go to CM10 2ndboot builds to have your camera working again.
For flash I suppoose only moto service can help
I have b
een trying for 3 days now to get a MB525 working. I have read hundreds of posts and followed tutorials with no luck
Please can someone help?
Phone powers on to animated moto blur logo, then repeats this 3 times but much faster. It then shows a t-mobile logo for about 15 seconds before going dark, then rebooting and looping.
I have tried wipe/reset from menu.
I have tried flashing 6 different sbf using RSD Lite v5.6 but flash files towards end with verifying checksum errors
RSD Lite doesnt display any details when i click show device, but under the 'model' heading below, it shows S Flash OMAP3630
What am I doing wrong? Please help.
Thanks.

Is your defy RED or GREEN? Try to flash correct SBF
If you wiped data from stock recovery after an sbf flash then you should not get boot loops. Try the ti omap blank flash option. If problem persists even after FULL sbf flash and above instructions then it looks to be a hardware issue

Which sbf file did you flashed? Looks like you have a branded one. If you flashed the wrong sbf, it could cause this problem.

Please ask all questions in Q&A. Thread moved there.
First of all please find out what exact firmware you had before flash. Try to find exact same SBF from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php. If you moved up with roms then you can not go down any more as original SBF flashing will prevent it. Make sure you are flashing Defy and not Defy+ SBF's.
I experienced the same issue. My experience says that I could have bootloop from the same verions of ROM just for different region. In my case i was flashing 3.4.2 and although my phone was originally from blurred DACH then best result was always nonblur Nordic. Otherwise I ended ususally with bootloop.
Please answer all the questions below, so anyone who is willing to help can understand what exactly is going on:
* What region does your Defy belong to?
* Was it branded? What brand?
* Was it carrier locked?
* What firmware did you have before flashing?
* What SBF's you have been flashing without success?
* Did you have phone rooted before you did install SBF? If yes with what?
* Did you do factory/cache reset after SBF flashing?
Thanks guys (and gals?) for all your replies so far.
OK unfortunately I dont know the previous firmware etc. The phone was given to me by a friend who says they have never tried to flash/mod the phone (but that is unconfirmed)
All i know is that when I got the phone, it was stuck in a bootloop, part of which included a t-mobile splash screen.
SBF i have flashed unsucessfully are......

Basically all t-mobile (uk) branded and uk unbranded roms.
All appear to flash ok, but then fail on verifying checksums.
I have not done factory/cache reset after flashing as the handsets is stuck in download/bootlader mode.
So do you think its case of keep on trying to flash various stock roms until i find one that it likes?
Thanks for all your help so far. Much appreciated

First try to get into stock recovery (check if possible): power it up while pressing volume down. If exclamation mark + triangle appear then press volume up and down simultaneously and choose wipe data/factory reset
BTW, you mentioned that when you got the phone it was in bootloop - was it somehow explained to you?

I can get into stock recovery and do factory wipe/reset, but result is the same - bootloop
Should i keep trying different sbf's?
I dont want to kill the phone (obviously)

Seems no other way, but it's not good that you don't know what BL your phone is and whether it's green or red lense.
Try BL5 in a first step - see the OP of this thread with links or try from this thread 'Common Problems/Questions' > Method 2

OK i just tried...
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTNORD_P003_A001_HWp3_Service1FF
But it is the same result....
error verifying code group 32 checksums. File: 0x4805 Phone: 0xA8C7
plus others group 33 etc
Phone displays Bootloader 09.10
I think it is red lense
What should i try now?
I'm not 100% sure what your last post meant with regards to "Try BL5 in a first step" ?
Thanks
OK im about tearing my hair out with this phone.
Everything I try ends with same result - bootloop
Who would have thought flashing a phone could be so difficult?

It's difficult only when you do not know what is aboard - usually it's not difficult when you know its actual history.
But you didn't what what I proposed. You have flashed again BL4 sbf. Try BL5 or even BL6 (no way back to froyo) like Nordic Retail U3 4.5.1-134_DFP-137 from here
In my previous post I gave you some links to find out what is BLx
@cmadle
No, it doesn't mean it's BL7
Bootloader 09.10 is a standard one, also with Froyo BL4 ROMs

@4igi4 - I hope you get your phone fixed because I know how frustrating it is, but can you start your own thread please? Thanks
@corrinti - Thank You for all your help so far, its appreciated I flashed the file you suggested (Nordic Retail U3 4.5.1-134_DFP-137) but same result. I am a little confused, because the sbf you suggested is in list for defy plus? Isnt defy plus MB526? My phone is MB525. Or does this not matter?
Thanks

Again, you didn't read the posts in links provided. If you really flashed DFP-237 then you are BL7 now. Anyway the phone is not screwed but just more work in rooting.
But was it flashed or you received an error during flash? (just hope so)
But there are many posts last days with the same problem - no sbf working and I have no idea how to overcome it. Sorry. Try to post in this thread
The only case I remember was some specific bootloader screen error + RSD error which indicated the hardware problem, (checksum of group 33 AFAIR)
