ok I am waiting at the bootloader menu
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frost Storm:
this reads as a thriller

I really appreciate such commitment

marhensa deserves a thank for its thankmeter to power up

good luck
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
yes wait, or just turn off your phone.

and then after my file is ready, press and hold powerup+vol.up to go to bootloader again.

here, i create fixed sbf, i forgot to replace cg31,

cg31 is obtained from 2.3.4 gingerbread sbf.

i repack it again as sbf, and now still uploading.

thanks mate.. :)

because i found some other guy have this problem too..

it needs some concern.

just a quick question, what gingerbread sbf do you use earlier?

because i'm using the 4.5.1_128 to edit the sbf.

but i think it will work anyway.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
yes that one only 128
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:

I installed CM7 and now it runs beautifully

all thanks to you

I am very very thankful
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
thats okay..

but how do you create your sbf?

i'm creating with some tricks, what's your trick? make sure the sbf is legit from cee, because the nandroid is cee.

for the data connectifity, maybe it's apn settings on froyo is not properly set.

baseband switcher is only about signal reception.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashwanikoul:
nothing, just downloaded yours, from mail and that worked perfect...

After reading through this I got one question: I live in Germany and would like to upgrade from 2.2.2 CEE to CM7.

Do I need a special version of CM7 that works with the German mobile phone network or do I just need the one offered in the official CM7 HowTo threads ?

Does Europe have a common network where every phone is compatible ?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetcraze:
Since we have a detailed discussion here, I would like to ask a couple of questions.

1. I have a defy (indian) which cane with eclair. Couple of days ago, I upgraded to official froyo using online update.

I am curious to try gb on my phone but worried about warranty and stuff. Is there a way I could nand backup and revert to it if required without Motorola people knowing it so that warranty is not voided?

2. I don't see any blur options? In accounts also I don't see 9-10 options that are mentioned by various people. Are they shipping blurless phones in India or is my phone an exception?

3. Is there a solution to facebook account syncing issue on stock roms?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marhensa:
no you cannot, because it is different rom.

if you want to backup application and its setting, use TitaniumBackup.

1. you can try leaked gb 2.3.4 but be careful, always use nandroid+fixed sbf method. unless you will lost your downgradeability.

2. sea15 region doesn't contain motoblur

3. upgrade facebook on market, sync from apps, no problem.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petar.s:

Thank you so much for this. This has totally saved me.

I can't root my phone. I have rooted it before without a problem with the superoneclick method, but now that I'm following this thread, I can't get past the root part. It says that my phone is rooted, but then I can't get access to the recovery reboot. I install it and it says "install success" but I reboot and can't get to the recovery menu.

The only thing that happens is that I see the android icon with the exclamation triangle. But I press volume button up + down and nothing happens. Which means that the recovery didn't install.

Then I tried with 2ndInit and it says that i don't have root permissions. I downloaded superuser but it's not working, so I can't install the recovery reboot. And I'm guessing I'm not even rooted correctly.

Please help me. I have gone through these steps over and over and over and I can't fix this.

*EDIT*: I have solved the problem and now I'm able to root my phone. It's easily fixed by using the superoneclick v1.7. The link to download that version is a few comments before. There was some guy that mentioned it. So thanks for that! After rooting i was able to successfully install system recovery and 2ndinit. Everything worked perfectly after using superoneclick 1.7.

hello I have a problem, I cant install any custom rom. Only 2.2.2 via sfb

I think I might have installed some custom rom with GB Kernel. But I'm not sure.

The problem started when I tried to go from CM10 to Pikachu, Aroma Installer finished but with an error message about the "Bootimg" (or somthing like that, the message told me to reinstall. I did, but then bootloop started).

After trying all CM roms (bootloop), I flashed Nordic 2.2.2 SFB via RDSLite.

Now froyo 2.2.2 works fine, I can root, instal bootmenu, etc, but when I go to custom recovery and install a custom rom (CM7, CM9, CM10) It goes back too bootloop :(
