Downgrade to Froyo with Nandroid Backup + Fixed SBF
what you have to do right now,
you go and search edited leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 sbf for that.
the edited sbf gingerbread 2.3.4 automatically rooted.
but the problem is i don't have the link for that.
but i'm sure i ever see that in this forum.
why you have to search that edited 2.3.4 sbf?
because normal leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 can't be rooted!
if you cannot root, you can't install custom recovery..
if you cannot install recovery, you cannot restore froyo nandroid backup!
and froyo nandroid backup + froyo fixed sbf is the only hope right now.
sorry mate..
next time be prepared and be careful to read the warnings.

see I was not stupid not to read the warning but, since my phone bricked after flashing the custom nandroid 2.3.4and the fixed sbf.. I tried flashig again with indian roms 2.2, but it would get stuck in the bootloader loop, then I had no choice but to flash with 2.3.4 full sbf and my phone came alive.. but for the network problem and the battery getting heated up, I loved the gingerbread
but I now need desperate help

okay mate, since you only have 3 post you cannot asking for help on devs section.
i'll try to help searching edited-rooted-gingerbread sbf for you.
hope they'll answer and give me a link.
here, i ask them in devs section:

okay, Walter79 answer my question.
thanks to him.

download this (these are painly big ass files):
-this unique eclair sbf: It's a unique eclair release with version 5 of cg31 and cg39 (same with leaked gingerbread), so you can flash directly to it.
-superoneclick root for defy
-custom recovery app for defy
-rsd lite 4.9
-moto usb drivers: for 32 bit, for 64 bit.
-cee froyo nandroid backup
-cee froyo fixed+edited sbf *EDIT* *AGAIN*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
here's the steps:
- please, next time you'll have to be more careful, it's not a cheap device for some people
- make sure you have > 80 % battery
- power your phone with volume down still pressed to enter stock recovery,
- press vol.up+vol.down to show the menu
- then do "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache" --> must do this!!
- reboot from stock recovery, immediately press and hold volume up for 5 seconds, then release to enter bootloader mode,
- make sure drivers and rsd lite have been installed before
- then plug your usb to computer, open rsd lite and flash that unique eclair sbf, wait untill it finish and defy got to main menu
- now you are on eclair. do not play with camera for now, i'm afraid it will broke your flashlight
- turn off usb debugging, set usb connection as mass storage,
- extract and copy cee froyo nandroid backup to \sdcard\goapkrev\backup | it should be like this: \sdcard\goapkrev\backup\ThisIsTheFolderOfCEENandroid\
- and copy custom recovery app somewhere you can access it later
- set usb connection as none
- turn on usb debugging, get root with superoneclick root for defy, reboot
- turn off usb debugging
- open custom recovery installer with file manager, open that app. Tap install recovery, then reboot recovery
- do wipe data, then wipe cache ----> must do!!
- select backup/restore, select restore, then select Froyo CEE Nadroid *EDIT*
- reboot system now, but immediately press and hold volume up for 5 seconds, then release to enter bootloader mode
- on bootloader mode, plug usb, open rsd lite, flash the fixed sbf of cee froyo
- wait untill the progress done, and defy run up on main menu.
- done, you should be happy now, it's froyo again. It's cee froyo (the stable one, many devs use it)
- install baseband switcher to suits your baseband region.

don't use ordinary eclair,
it's unique eclair with version 5 of CG31 and CG39,
use that unique full sbf eclair on the tutorial.
----------------
just download the baseband switcher apk, copy to your SD-Card,
then install, select your region.
you have to be get root, but don't worry,
because it seems Froyo CEE Nandroid backup already rooted,
just install and select your region.
happy to helps someone, sharing knowledge is caring.
you should do some, sometimes.

god!!
double post...
sorry.

I am now flashed with eclair, the one you sent the link to, and am not able to gain root access, using superoneclick, it just keeps waiting for the device?
any idea why?

okay, if you have set it on,
try to set usb debugging off, then on again, it should be working.
if it still fails, close superoneclick, run it again.

yes usb debugging is off, I set it on and yep it rooted..
thanks again..
now just waiting for the nandroid froyo to get downloaded,
I don.t know how I can return the favour..
thanks a lot

GOD! i'm so sloppy.
i forget to add this line:
- select backup/restore, select restore, then select Froyo CEE Nadroid EDIT
go check the tutorial again,
sorry..
glad you haven't yet to that step, thats important!

------------------
oh ya, some information for people like you who accidently flash full gingerbread
------------------
when you install CM7, and want to go back to froyo,
you can't use that method of nandroid backup of froyo + fixed sbf.
because CM7 using different custom recovery,
CM7 is using bootmenu (consist of special 2ndInit + newest CWM)
normaly, if people want to go back to froyo from CM7:
they go to from stock recovery, wipe data+cache, go to bootloader, flash full sbf froyo, done.
but, for you, it is different.
use the latest tutorial i gave you earlier.
you have to go to that unique eclair first,
and remeber when on that eclair do not play with camera.
i think that's chinese sbf, and some says chinese sbf could damage flashlight.
maybe i just wrong about that, but play safe is better for your camera.

can I install CM7 to my phone after the steps you told me, go to froyo again,
and if I can how do I do that?
or you suggest I should not.?

Yes, you still can use CM7
this tutorial is for your case only:
So you want to play again? Okay here CM7 tutorial for you..
- uninstall custom recovery app which already installed
- Copy CM7 RC1 v2 zip, Google Apps and Bootmenu Installer 1.7 to your SD Card
- Enable USB Debugging
- Install bootmenu installer 1.7 via File Manager, go to the app and click "Install 2ndInit Recovery" button. Wait for the led turn green.
- Disable USB Debugging, reboot
- Automaticly ended up on bootmenu
- Select custom recovery, "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select CM7, then gapps
- Select "Go Back" then "reboot your system now"
- After all set, use baseband switcher app (already installed with cm7 package) to switch baseband which suit your region.
*if you want to go to custom recovery,
just reboot, when blue LED lights flashing, immediately press volume down.
select Custom recovery then Stable recovery.
DO NOT install bootmenu installer again when you are on CM7, surely will ****ed up your phone.
*if you want to go to froyo again,
just do the earlier tutorial.

[GUIDE] Comprehensive "Rooted Android 2.3.4 with unlocked bootloader" instructions

[GUIDE] Comprehensive "Rooted Android 2.3.4 with unlocked bootloader" instructions
This is a guide on how to go from Froyo to rooted Gingerbread. Also, I'm on AT&T. Others beware. I take no responsibility if you hard or soft brick your phone.
I went from a rooted install running Gingerblur v4.5, but this will likely work regardless of what you have installed, since fastboot overwrites everything.
I didn't actually discover or develop any of this, but I figured someone might like to have a comprehensive guide, instead of searching through 500 different threads like I did.​Known/potential issues:
- Fingerprint scanner not functional False alarm
- Avoid using RSDLite for *anything* if you installed the OTA 2.3.4 build
- Battery reading is sometimes inaccurate
- If you have a limited RAM issue, read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169409​Step 0 - BACK UP EVERYTHING. Use Titanium backup, or just copy everything off your phone, whatever. This will leave you with an unlocked, rooted, but otherwise stock Motorola phone. Once this is done, set your USB mode to "None"
Step 1 - Install moto drivers
For x64 windows, use these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=634880&d=1308872277
For x32, http://www.multiupload.com/QNFILE4F07 (I havent tested these, I run Win7 x64)
Step 2 - Unlock your bootloader Note: some have hard bricked using RSDLite to install 1.8.3 over 4.5.91. Read warning here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408
Download latest moto-fastboot from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138092 *the win32 version worked for me, and I run 64bit windows 7*
Follow instructions here: http://briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader
Step 3 - Flash stock Gingerbread image (you can do this without restarting your phone from the unlock bootloader step)
Follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342
Step 4 - Flash CWM Recovery
Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Step 5 - Install root
Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1159572
Note: I used my phone's USB Mass Storage mode to put the .zip on my external SD card. To get to recovery mode, shut down the phone. Then hold the power and volume up buttons until you see "fastboot." Use the volume down key to cycle through until you see "Android Recovery" then press volume up again. This will get you into the CWM environment, where you can navigate the menus to install the root .zip.
Step 6 - Restore your stuff
Now you should have a factory fresh Gingerbread / MotoBlur installation (didn't you miss the bloat?), with the addition of the superuser app. For tethering, I use Barnacle (requires root). I used Titanium Backup to uninstall any apps I don't want (anything beginning with AT&T, Blockbuster, Y!, etc.) and to reinstall all of my apps.​
Feel free to make any corrections, or ask questions. Hopefully someone finds this useful. All credit to the OP of each thread I linked to.

Does this include the official 4.5.91? So many warnings about hard bricking since people flashed it.

From what I can tell, hard bricking only occurs when you use RSDLite to flash an older motorola SBF once you've gone to gingerbread. But someone else should chime in on that one - I never got a notice for an OTA update.

Ah you have the deadly firmware
You simply cannot use RSD to flash down to 1.83 or 1.26 etc.
Or you will brick.
Clarify in Q&A, make your own thread with your question.
Taken from this thread kennethpenn said:
"What if I already flashed the official 4.5.91?
If you flashed the official update from XDA or by downloading through a dev-blur server (note: this excludes this ROM), you should avoid flashing SBF files in RSD Lite. We've confirmed this problem exists when users flash the 1.8.3 build specifically. It may happen with other SBF files, though."
So it looks like you can flash 2.3.4 builds via CWM. But double check by asking in Q&A.

Check out this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
Fruit cakes basically dont touch your bootloader, they're basically modified sbf files that only contain the needed files to flash stuff. There's a 1.8.3 fruitcake in there as well as a 2.3.4 fruitcake.
An HKTW fruitcake is in development.
Fruitcake is the .sbf equivalent file that is flashable via CWM.

The big question is this - can you RSDflash the unlocked bootloader SBF by itself once you have the firmware of death? Once you have the bootloader unlocked, everything is gravy.
I don't know the answer

theres the moto-fastboot file i was looking for!
much appreciated.

Now there's a guide
I just did this like 3 hours before this guide came out. Though it at least seems like I was going to all the right threads that are in this guide anyways.

From my understanding, if you flashed the official firmware of death you CANNOT use RSD in any way. All of your flashing has to be done via CWM and fruitcakes. Full .sbfs will brick your phone. Hard brick. As in #@$% ME hard brick.

Weren't there some reports of issues restoring via TB after flashing Ken's beta 4.5? I'd have to search through his thread, but I thought it presented an issue or two.

So I guess no sweet Roms for me. Still haven't found a good thread to root my phone. I'm not sure if the FOD would mess with the rooting part of it.

hold volume down button while booting up, then hold volume up after fastboot is selected to activate it.
after that, you use fastboot commands on your computer.

But I was using the automatic unlocker . I still need to put in commands myself?

I believe the automatic unlocker will pause and should give clear instructions ask you to do specific things that have to be done by a human (power down and reboot into certain mode, etc), you just need to follow these instructions. After that, you just hit enter to continue.
If you are unable to follow these instructions, probably it's too much for you...
To reboot into fastboot, for example: press the power button, to turn off the phone; then hold the volume down button, press the power button again, you'll see "Fastboot", then release volume down, press volume up, you enter the "fastboot" mode

Too much for me lol I know how to get to all the menus that its telling me to go to but nothing else happens. the guide said nothing about typing in anything which is why I choose it. Especially since the automatic root worked easy as pie ...

You want help, laugh when people who are trying to help say it might be too much for you, yet you provide us close to absolute no information.
What guide are you following? We might know, but it still is your job to provide a link.
What is the step you are stuck at?
Why, what isn't going according to plan? What do you see happening in your sceen / phone?
If you can't explain properly, provide some screenshots.
You say you can get to all the menus it tells you to, yet in the first step you can't seem to get into fastboot. Your speech is unclear and what you want is hard to understand.
My opinion is you aren't ready to unlock your bootloader. You know very little about your phone or how it works. That's the community's fault really, with all these automatic scripts, which are really nice if you know what you're doing, but end up promoting easy ignorance in people like you.
I just hope in a month or two you are not one of those writing "OMG, please, I arrempted to downgrade by SBF and know my phone won't boot, what gives???"
Read up on some information a learn how these things work. It is the best you can do. Owning an android device and modding it can be great fun, but it does require some effort on your part. If I were you, I would learn how to unlock my bootloader with pudding, just to understand what is actuallly going on.
Either that, or you can learn how to ask for help properly and politely. Your choice.
Also, wrong section, This is not Q&A.

My girlfriend was rushing me so I tried to type up something quick but I used this

As you can see like I can see it does not say I need to type anything in the cmd (which I have seen in YouTube videos and isn't that hard) but thought hey automatic sounds good so I gave it a try I don't have any problems getting the phone to fast boot or rsd as I've used the stock recovery to clear cache in an attempt to fix something. The part I'm stuck at is step 6
You are right I don't know alot about android which is why I didn't start messing with my phone the day I got it but I've been all over this site (well the atrix at least) and YouTube.

So, let's see if I got this, you are having trouble at the part it says it should restart? Or before that? After you choose the number and press enter, what happens?
This could be a driver problem... If windows is not recognizing a device, it's common... Which windows are you using? I used to have some problems on XP and vista...

I actually had to use a Vista system to get this to work.
Now, when the instructions say it should "Restart", at that point, have you been in "Fastboot" yet? Have you been to the part where you have to enter your "Unique ID"?
This is important to know because throughout the bootloader-unlocking process the phone should be restarted a couple of times. It sounds like you have at least gotten through the part where it flashes "Pudding" but it sounds like you haven't done the "fastboot" part yet.
Are you referring to "Step 6" in the actual post or within the script? If the power button does not work then just pull the battery. As long as it is not in the process of doing something you should be fine.
I also want to point out that the program you are using only requires that you type in your Unique ID, everything else is automated, not to mention the file contains everything you need including adb, fastboot, RSDlite, Superuser, Pudding, and a working recovery so it makes it very easy for the end user to not have to find everything on their own. The script unlocks the bootloader, roots your phone, and flashes CWM recovery.
Either way, please provide more details if you are still having issues. Good luck.

I've basically done nothing haven't flashed or wiped my phone yet I was basically stuck at or around the first step cause it first asks for RSD protocol and then it says restart phone but the power button has no effect why in that mode nd when I pull the battery to manually put it in fast boot nothing happens nd I get some kind of batch error when it trays to get my unique id...
But got the computer back today so I'm gonna work on it again
Thanx for help ... will update you guys when I can

Actually, I followed the method you linked (old netbook running XP) and got a softbrick on the automatic reboot after flashing pudding. I was so busy watching RSD Lite do its thing that I didn't catch that my phone had actually rebooted; it selected fastboot mode on its own so I was able to issue the unlock command. It took.

"7.Plug your device into your computer. RSD Lite should recognize your device and say “Model: NS Flash Olympus” and “Connected…” The acronym 'NS' may be different for your device people!!"
its not doing this(i have rsdlite 4.5.5 because i cant find 5.5)
edit: got on to next problem

Thanks everyone

If cpu not recognizing ur device in fastboot try restarting ur cpu. If u updated drivers u have to restart the cpu before it will see ur device.

[Q] Without Recovery (For NINJAS)

Ninjas and Developers ...
... I have a Defy 525 MB actually brick, spent MS2Ginger4 and after the first restart did not carry over.
... not applied the SBF-Fixed and maximum I can do is to connect the device, but is boot looping.
I have only the logo image (M) when I apply any xxx ROM 4.5.1 or later, otherwise is just black with white light.
I guess my problem could be solved if I could apply the wipes, but when I access the original recovery menu commands are not accepted when tightening button to select (Power)
below is a picture of what happens ... I think not mount command can not apply the wipes

It's impossible to get out of it, have tested dozens of sbf files, drivers of different versions, all updated, rsd lite different versions (also updated)
I tried windows 7 on windows XP 64 and 32
Is there any way to apply the wipes without the recovery? is there any way to fix the recovery?
... indeed, a dead end.
I have no money to another smartphone, I have no phone.
Please Help Me.
Thanks

Chamelleon said:
Finally with help from people from many other forums Defy with BL7 was rooted.
For now we have no script to make it on the phone without wipe but I'm very happy that it's working.
Rooting Procedure
1. Wipe phone twice (2x make Wipe Data/Cache in stock recovery)
2. Flash 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE (It doesn't matter what version of this two You flash but it must be the same with version from point 4).
3. Wipe again (Data/Factory Reset)
4. Flash rooted SBF 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN Rooted SBF Part.1, 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN Rooted SBF Part.2 or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SBF

Defy mit Android 4.0.4 CM9 RockZ

tks, but didnt work ...
when i flash rooted SBF, the phone enter on a booterror screen (bootloader)
... with a regular SBF 4.5.1-134_DFP-2312xxxxx.sbf the phone starts without boot error - but in bootlooping, when i enter on the recovery menu, i can change the options (navigate) but when press the powerbutton to select an option nothing happens ...
is like if i doesnt press anything
excuses for this poor english

have u flashed the right two sbfs to get this work?
is that over all in bootmenu? u can't enter a custom recovery or adb?
have u flash the bootmenu cwm update file?
think ur problem is that u can't get root rights to get the bootmenu work right, without su that is a better screensaver

Defy mit Android 4.0.4 CM9 RockZ

okay you can do one more thing if your mobile is in warranty.
flash some sbf which makes your phone look like it has crashed and then take it to service centre near you and then convince the service guy that its DOA(motherboard has crashed) and so he will replace it...
since in my country a third party company (reddington) looks after motorola's service so the service guy knew nothing about bootloader and my mobiles state was completely dead so he replaced the motherboard(he told me motorola has instructed to replace the motherboard if phone is not able to start)..and got the phone working

... I need others tools, custom and experimental SBf's, others (and radical) ways to recovery my Defy ... No hope for a while ...
Ninjas cannot help me ...
...

radical.. go to a motorola service center and say u pay for a revert to stock ROM, because ur data is expensive or save the world or something like that. this reflash were rewriting the board from defy with this special omap tool and the bin file... that's really radical..
sry, the only thing i think that worked for u, was the rooted sbf's flashed. i wish ur defy good luck to revival from the nirvana:thumbup:

Back to life
... I explained that I did everything to revive Motorola, reading several times to update the drivers and the RSD I could revive the device ... removed the old drivers and RSD, cleaned the registry, installed everything updated and did not work.
yesterday i formatted my notebook and installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 in English, flash a 134_DFP-4.5.1-231 before taking on technical assistance (hopeless) and to my surprise the starts moved from bootloop.
Lesson is:
on a clean install of windows with drivers and RSD updated with the correct SBF file, your motorola is more likely to come back to life.
I tried everything, for 10 days and several times - today I can say with certainty, the problem was in the operating system of the notebook.
Thank you to everyone who helped

That's great to hear that ur moto is on the right way now, shame on Microsoft
what ROM u want to flash now? i recommend CM9
Defy mit Android 4.0.4 CM9 RockZ

I think the device may not even be bricked, who go through this need should test the entire environment out of the device before taking to the service.
I used MS2Ginger and 7.2 CM ... now I'm happy with the ICS
Thank you AnTerNoZ ...

[Q] Stuck on stock recovery

Good morning again.
After my recent post about my cellphone as half-dead, I'm looking for rescue the information on the Internal Storage (We are talking of almost 3.5 GB of personal information). I know what ANY custom recovery can help me with this mission...
But after almost 4 hours trying with no success, I don't know what to do. :crying:
Step 1: Plug USB cable
Step 2: Vol+ Vol- and Power Button
Step 3: Select AP Fastboot
Step 4: On cmd write fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery here with .img"
On this step, I ALWAYS got this:
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target max-download-size: 30MB​Step 5: On cmd write fastboot reboot
Step 6: As fast as you can, press Vol+ for enter to the recovery
Alright. That's the process what everyone's using, right? Well, it isn't working for me, as I got always to the same recovery :s
Android system recovery <3e>
KDA20.62-10.1​
What can I do? I used even the guide of ATTACK [GUIDE][FAQ][KK] How to Root, Boot Unlock & More
With no success...
I have Stock KK 4.4.2 what ends in .15 and Unlocked Fastboot

What recovery file are you trying to flash? Also, are you using the Moto fastboot? I believe this issue happens if you are using normal fastboot. Mfastboot is downloadable from that thread you linked

Still same problem (6 failed attempts with every recovery)... I think I'm going to need learn how to use HouseOfMoto (I don't have ANY idea how to use it).

Use Flashify.

You never stated that you couldn't boot to the OS in the OP.
After reading your other post, I believe you have a bad eMMC(?) and your device may be stuck in R/O. If that is the case your phone is non-recoverable. Your only option is to 'try' and restore via RSD or similar - but its unlikely to fix the issue.

I don't know how I got the cellphone to work... and then I made a mistake and well :/
After use HouseOfMoto, my cellphone finally got out of the bootanimation, but constantly ending com.android.phone
I got the idea of put the cellphone on Airplane mode. The cellphone is again on the same problem :crying:
Do you know how it worked the first time? And if that is a sign of life?

Did you perform a FULL install on House of Moto? What FXZ did you use? Maybe try redownloading or confirm hashes to make sure there just wasn't an issue with the FXZ.

You never noted that you wanted to recover things. I'd deal with the phone app force quitting and copy things to your computer via the USB. After you get everything you need, try a full wipe. If you don't want to do a re-download of the firmware, at least verify the hashes. A good tool for this is "Hash My Files." Make sure it matches what the website says it should be. If it doesn't, you will have to redownload.

It's the 2nd comment about that issue. I'm going to need to re-post what I said in my previous post, instead of say "following what I said on my previous post..."

Uhm... Good afternoon.
I really don't know what happened to my XT907. I was playing Castle Clash, and then, suddenly...
- Smart Launcher Pro stopped
- GApps stopped
- Messenger stopped
- Amazon MP3 stopped
- WhatsApp stopped
And 4 or 5 more apps stopped. I nned to say what I wasn't using any of that apps but Smart Launcher Pro and WhatsApp.
So I selected the common Power Button... Power Off... Then I used the common Power Button for Turn On my XT907...
Stuck on the boot animation. It makes the sounds as receiving WhatsApp messages and that, but it's eternally on the boot animation (it isn't a bootloop)
What to do in this case?
(I need to add something else: I used the volume up button and every time I use it, the cellphone vibrates)
