[Q] SBF Download Links Dead? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looking for alternate links for TMobile USA stock SBF files, since the links referred to in the sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 appear to no longer be functioning.
Currently have 2.2.1 TMobile (34.4.9.MB525.T-Mobile.us.US) build 3.4.2-107_JDN-9. Anyone know where I can download this, or the previous (Eclair) stock TMobile SBF?
I have a current nandroid backup but in certain situations it would be nice to have an SBF to fall back on just in case I need to use RSDLite.
Thanks in advance.

No you cant use that kernel with stock froyo rom. you can only use it with the defy+ rom.
Benefits? you get stock gingerbread
what about root?
Have you guys managed to root this SBF? I installed it on my defy and now i can't root it, please help me root this 2.3.6 android version.

This sbf isn't good at all, looks like walter is a major dissapointment with this sbf because:
1. You can't root it with the method he provided
2. It's not that good to be the support for his next ms2ginger.
Anyways, after flashing this sbf and experimenting with it i noticed that i can't connect to my network operator in 2g only or 3g only mode, only the automatic option is available, ok i can live with that but no internet acces via operator network? No way, it's too much.
In conclusion don't flash this sbf in the first place and spare yourself the lost time and effort, no harm intended, but i consider that before publishing information that info has to be tested first right walter? 10x
i flashed the nandroid backup so now I'm returned to stock froyo...have you tried to root with this version? http://www.multiupload.com/9AJDSU1Q11
for me is not good because I can't add italian language and there isn't contacts syncronization

[Q] How to install Argen2Stone 3

It might have been asked before but I couldn't find the solution. I am in need of a guide to install Argen2Stone 3.0 onto my milestone 2 currently running on the froyo kernel. I don't want to flash any sbf that is not downgradable because I really like the MIUI which (to my understanding) is only working for froyo kernels.
I know that the Chinese GB can be downgradable? But I'm not sure which one to get. The link on http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 says "DE/AT/CH" under country, and not specifically Chinese, so I am wondering if this is the downgradable sbf to flash. Then if it is, multiupload isn't working... So I need a mirror if anyone have one :s.
Then after I flashed the sbf file, all I have to do is to restore the nandroid? Anything else I need to be aware of to prevent myself getting stuck with stock GB?
Thanks in advance.

As long as you don't apply the Vivo (Brazil) and Personal (Argentina) you're good to go. With 2.3.4 UK and 2.3.6 Retail Brazil (and several others) you'll be able to downgrade with the tutorial that's in the Android Development section (look at the topic and see how it works, it's on the first page), even though they don't use the Chinese Kernel.
Yeah but the link to multiupload is still not working. I also would prefer if I could just flash the CH rom and if I don't like it, flash back the froyo.
This is the download link of uk 2.3.4 stock rom from china
The md5 is not the same as the original ,so measure whether it is suit for you
115.com/file/dn8kptoc#
Add http yourself. If you dun know chinese ,the image I uploaded may help you.
I have uploaded a image that is "about phone" after i flash this sbf
I too am looking for a solution to this. I hate the multi-touch bug present in the UK kernels and wish that ROM devs would use CH instead. AFAIK only Endless's CM7 uses CH kernel as standard.

cwm of eu stock with root, unlock, mem and bat fix

Hi to all,
I am posting the link for a cwm as closest to stock for the european atrix (nordics greece), with bootloader unlocked, rooted, mem and battery fix. It's as close to stock with the aforementioned modifications. I thought this cwm
may be helpful to fruitcakes (they were missing the european ones) or anybody who want to revert to unlocked,rooted stock.
The process I followed was the following:
1. Flash from 2.3.6 based rom to stock 2.3.4 of the european sbf (nordics and greece) 1FF-olympus_emara-user-2.3.4-4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20-release-keys-signed-NonEFIGSRetail-EU (kindly uploaded by haki.gr)
2. unlock (intl fix 1)
3. install romracer's cwm
4. rooting with root_cwm.img
5. memory fix with ramfix.img, and
6. battery fix with jug6 fix2.img
7. cwm full backup (including webtop) and upload
Information (reading from the phone)
System version 45.31.20.MB860.NonEGIGSRetail.en.EU
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband N_01.100.00R
Webtop WT-1.2.0-133_38
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build number 4.5.2A-74_OLE-31.20
I can't post the link normally because I haven't reached 8 messages, but it is
at filefactory file 24tzdjygmy3z n Cwm-marmoras-stage1-2_3_4-en-eu_zip
(put www and com before and after filefactory and replace spaces with /)
Hope it is helpful
Hi, thanks for this. I tried installing using Koush CWM 5.0.2.0 and I get:
"Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update package...
Installation aborted."
I'm running a euro atrix (originally t-mobile) SIM unlocked, rooted, currently on CM9 ROM.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Hi Appy,
I tried to flash back, there was a system error, I think I messed up the recovery process. Just to be safe, I will remove the file, redo it, and post an MD5 (just in case of corrupt files).
I don't know if it makes any difference that I used the romracers.
brilliant. thanks a lot!
Hi
Could you send me this fruitcake?
thx

hi and thank you,
You did an excellent thing for lots of European atrix users!
I'd really like to downoad and install your ROM but the link is not working.
Could you please reupload and post the new link, using the same method, with spaces?
Thank you and best regards!

[Q] defy+ latest SBF files - anyone?

posting here as unable to reply to any dev posts (new user)
I have a defy+ (the MB526 NOT a defy), got the lovely boot loop this morning and had to flash with an SBF file I found. details of my phone and the file are at the bottom of this post.
I cannot root this phone now: have tried every method I can find, from the german batfile to demonlord. won't do it. I have all the correct phone settings.
Seems i'm not alone, other UK users seem to be affected too.
The SBF file comes with BLUR as well... ugh bloat..
MY QUESTION:
where can I find a good SBF file FOR DEFY+ that works well on a DEFY+ that I can also root? i've searched much of these forums today and there are many garbled posts about DEFY+ on DEFY etc , and a few links where the file has been removed, so there seems to be no definitive place where you can get a link
to an SBF file on this forum for the DEFY+.
There *may* be some buried away in the threads about custom roms for defy handsets, but nothing that you can point to and go THAT ONE.
SBF File Used:
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P022_A022_M002_HWp3_WIG148094_Service1FF.sbf.gz
System Version
45.0.2310.MB526.Retail.en.GB
Model Number
MB526
Android Version
2.3.6
Baseband version
EPU93_U_00.60.03
Kernel Version
2.6.32.9-ge281b6e
Build Number
4.5.1-134_DFP-231
If you couldn't root it the way you did before it means that that's a bl7 sbf. But, luckily enough, it can be rooted since a week back, or so
Check this out - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013
All DFP-188 and newer ROM's are bl7 No downgrade-ability for you.
Oh, and you've asked about sbf's - you can flash DFP-188, DFP-231 and DFP-2311 only, no other bl7 for now!
thanks for the info. pesky new boot loader eh?
found this - worked for me! be good if someone could take it and make a sticky with these details in on how to root defy+ handsets with locked boot loaders.

[Q] SBF Version

I have a phone still on stock OS
Is there a way to figure out the its current SBF version? I would make a note and if things go bad I'll download the matching one and re-flash it.
