[Q] Model number change after update

Hey guys,
I'm currently using a Defy+ and had the model number mb 526 (Defy+).
Build number 4.5.1-134 DFP 74 was installed before without any roms.
Yesterday I updated to 4.5.2-109_DHT-22 (Android 2.3.4 to 2.3.6) which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1413214.
Everything is running perfectly I just realized that the model number changed from mb 526 to mb 525 which is the model number of the normal Defy.
I would like to know if there is a fix for it or if i have done anything wrong.
As you can probably tell I'm new to this forum.
Thanks in advance (btw. how to thank in this forum?)

Hi,
Coz your phone is a MB526 you need to flash the full SBF with RSDlite. Not the nandroid with CWM...

Oh I see...
Can i still flash the full SBF or will it cause any unwanted side-effects?
I just flashed the fixed SBF

I flashed mine with the 4.5.1-134-DFP-132 retail. FR Sbf and it works really great. Just WARNING you can't downgrade (go back) to 2.3.4 after that!...

I had the wrong url in my post. I flashed only the fixed sbf and have the 4.5.2-109_DHT-22. I'm pretty sure that I'll not be able to flash your 4.5.1-134-DFP-132, but thanks for your help
// Solved the problem by using my nandroid backup to recover

look for the build.prop CWM flashable zip that matches the version u installed

I have also updated (sbf using RSD Lite). Everything is fine here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537

HELP NEEDED to get m devy back running...
Hey guys,
I was running CM 7.1 on my devy without problems for a year till my speaker broke 2 days ago. I wanted to return to stock to send it for repare but somewhere I made a huge mistake.
To make a long story short, after trying al sorts of roms, I am stuck at the JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf rom. It is the only one that boots! The other ones result in a black screen and I'm feeling lucky that I still can use rsd-lite to get the 97.21.51 back....
What to do? Which retail version can I use? I have a dutch phone and had official Froyo before I installed CM 7.1. I already tried all ROMS from germany, western europe and [email protected] http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php ...
Also I can't install clockwork mod because market doesn't work @ 97.21.51 and installing it by zip with 2nd init also gave a error... Going back to cm 7.1 by installing it with 2nd init didn''t work eather (bootloop) .
Please some help here to get my phone to retail status so I can send my phone for repair of the speaker!
Greatings Marc

I think that U3 97.21.51 is a BL7 eclair ROM.
It provided a downgrade solution for BL7 users, but you're doomed
if you flashed it while you were on BL4/5/6.
I think that you are stuck on BL7. Just search up BL7 in Defy forums.

Go back to Original

[Q] Official Defy Rom South Africa MTN

Hi Guys
Has anyone got an official SBF for the South African version of the DEFY
I have installed the JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTGB_P019_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf however that was not the original rom that was loaded on my phone.
I have flashed cm7 and the nightly builds of cm9 and they work amazingly however my phones antenna has malfunctioned and I would like to return it to my service provider so that it can be replaced.
I dont have a nandroid back up of the original rom [im an idiot I know]
Is there anyone out there that can make a backup of their mtn defy or at least point me to a rom that will look legit so that I can send my phone in and hopefully get it replaced.
Kind regards

[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

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.
