[Defy General] randy_r_e:
Need help badly. Tried installing CM7 on my Defy (previously updated with official Froyo for SEA) and the skateboard logo droid just kept looping. Did a reboot and still hung. Couldn't execute my Goapk recovery file. Did a flash of SEA sbf and turned for the worse. The screen just went all black with no response to the buttons. Tried flashing all available sbfs (for eclair and froyo) from this forum to no avail. Found this link and the JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf is the only one that wakes up my phone. Tried the succeeding steps but couldnt run nandroid as I couldnt download from internet due to some error in google accounts on this flash file. I can live with this provided the google apps work.

Please help! Am at my wits end in flashing all sbfs and finding a way to load clockwork into my phone!
[Defy General] ircvax:
Hello guys. I have some question, but first of all sorry for my sucky english. I'll try to do my best explaining this.

Bought a motorola Defy this week after 6 years of using a Siemens C66, so i'm totally new on this. Two weeks ago i didn't know what Android means, so i'm a totally noob as you can see.

Yesterday tried to install wajkIUI but failed, got stuck on red M logo at start. Well this is what i did:

1) Rooted without no problem with superoneclick.

2) Downloaded wajkIUI from this forum and put into the SD card.

3) Downloaded 2ndinn from market. When i went to install this i got two options, Install stable CM and the lastest version (something like this). Choose the lastest.

(enabled and disabled USB debug when the guide says)

4) Some guides says that i need to reboot twice the phone to enter to the bootmenu but after the first reboot it started on Android boot. Choosed default boot to 2ndinin. Went to recovery -> Wipe data and got an error saying something like can't mouting /data or something like that. Then wipe cache.

5) Went to install zip from sd card and installed. Said install success or something like that and the phone rebooted automatically (guide don't say anything about this reboot).

Went to recovery again and wipe cache and then advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Reboot now and then the red M logo.

Waited 10-15 min and still on M logo so i shut it down.

Any idea? I ended installing a SBF with RSD lite.

Edit: before installing 2ndinit i tried to follow the guide from CM7 wiki and downloaded and put the bootmenu into my sd. but seems i had the boot, didn't made the step number 5 on "Installing bootmenu & the ClockworkMod Recovery". (tried posting links but forum won't let me)
[Defy General] pirarucu:
Hi ircvax,

Did you flash fixed-sbf after recovering wajkIUI?
[Defy General] ircvax:
Hmm, what do you mean with fixed sbf? After the problem that i had trying to install WajkIUI, used RSD lite to install the SBF from my country.

Some people told me that I should install Nordic before going to WajkIUI, this could be the problem?
[Defy General] razorrhyme:
hy..can someone help me please.. i did this:

preboot menu~tools i hit by mistake share system..got the message sharing system partition ok.

is it anyway that i go to default 2nd init..now it is stuck on cyanogen logo
[Defy General] bo6o:
One question on Defy+ - I read a lot, but I couldn't find the answer - if I install... let's say msginger 2.0 for defy+. I don't like it and I want to go back to my stock rom. What is the exact procedure - will a recovery backup be enough - just to simply restore it, or it is more complex?
[Defy General] gamefrk:
Thanks a lot Zephyrot! Successfully rooted my phone! Gotta play around with SetCPU now :D
[Defy General] pirarucu:
to bo6o:

Yes, wipe data and cache; then use RSD Lite to flash the full SBF 2.2.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

Yes, maybe it's compatible issue between your original ROM and wajkIUI.

So that it's suggested to flash 2.2 CEE ROM or Nordic before wajkIUI.

- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161110

Please see the installation guide.
[Defy General] bo6o:
I don't believe you understood me. I mean, if I want to go back to my stock rom, then is it enough to just restore the backup from recovery, or it is more complex...
[Defy General] pirarucu:
Sorry that didn’t get ur point. It’s defy+, not defy.

Yes. You can restore the backup from Recovery.

Hi guys i have a big problem with my defy .

ive just rooted it with superoneclick and it rooted successfully then a day later i overclocked it but at a good manner like 600mhz-1000mhz(1ghz) . all was well until today my phone started to freez and got hot a lil hot then today it went b3 low. went to the charger charged it then tryed to switch on .. it passes on the red M logo then go to the loading android screen. it doesnt pass there it keeps on loading and doesnt go ahead...... please help please

please
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Need more information about what you did... like Vsel, Which android version, etc. Second try the the usual: Wipe Cache/Dalvik, re-flash with CWM your Rom version.

And please edit your post, no need to quote the whole guide again to make a question :)
[Defy General] KINGRANKAR:
Hi, zeph. I gonna ask a very noob Question.

i already flashed with 4.5.1_128 full sbf. Is it possible to downgrade with any of sbf ,replacing CG39.smg & CG31.smg of target sbf from 4.5.1_128 . If i give it a try with modified sbf flashing by rsdlite, will it brick my defy permanantly.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
I dont think it is possible. You need compatible CG31/39 with all other CG partitions. If you want to downgrade, you will have to use the method described in the guide :)

gl~
[Defy General] tzalay:
Fantastic guide, thumbs up for putting it together :)
[Defy General] sly.cooper:
Hi Everyone,

I followed the guide to successfully root my defy. I then installed recovery (defy2ndinit) from market and chose latest recovery. I have got the recovery installed but the OS is not booting. The phone is stuck on Red M icon. For some time I can see blue and green LED but it remains in that mode. Can someone please tell me how to proceed? The SBF stuff is really confusing. I was running stock 2.2 (India) version. I would appreciate quick help if someone can. My phone is useless now :confused:.

Thanks in advance.
[Defy General] faiz02:
Great work.. Thanx :)
[Defy General] sly.cooper:
After lot of struggle and search on the internet, I was able to "understand" recovery and installed custom ROM. As a newbie to Moto Defy cfw, I would say that the process is complex and confusing. So far I have rooted and flashed moto XT5, LG optimus one and HTC sensation without any issues. The information is there but for a newbie it becomes difficult to digest as there lot of information on different topics :). This guide was like a rescue for me. I would suggest making installing recovery process a bit more descriptive or add steps as this is the very important point to backup or flash custom ROMs. I was really tensed for few hours assuming I bricked the phone. Anyways thanks for a single place all guide.

[Defy General] iares:
thanks I needed it
[Defy General] hitanshu:
So here is my weird little problem - I had often installed CM7/MIUI and often flashed the full SBF of UK (and occasionally Nordic/Indian) froyo happily. In the interim, I installed Motoginger - and they interestingly install via a 4.5.1 Fixed SBF + nandroid.

Nowadays I tried to flash full UK SBF and it works fine but I just retried with the Indian froyo 3.4.36-1.7 and it aborted citing corrupted Code Group 53. Does this mean I can never go back to Indian Froyo??

Will restoring the nandroid backup and then flashing the fixed SBF work? or do I need some other precautions/care? Kindly advise!

Clearly words with humor,thanks for sharing the knowledge of this phone.
[Defy General] biswashyub:
doesnot work!

The guide is awesome!

I tried to downgrade my defy(from gingerbread, full sbf flash) but while restoring the nandroid backup a "md5 mismatch" error was shown!

Plz help!

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

Same problem here!

Someone please help! I have been re-doing the flashing for more than 15 days
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
I can only suggest ya to redownload the Nandroid, MD5 mismatch is usually a corrupted download.

I have read stuff about others with MD5 Mismatchs in other backups, you might wanna search how they fixed it using the search function, since I dont remember which topic had the info.
[Defy General] free2live:
Or try re-installing 2nd init ;)
[Defy General] lenidas:
thanks, very usefull for me, :D
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Update to my Guide is on the way to address the differences between Green and Red lens Defy as well as Defy+, and shred some light on the Defy+ SBF situation.

And of course what does and what doesn't work on the guide for each Defy version :)
[Defy General] yangyusen:
good work

good work, thanks a lot
[Defy General] freaxs_r_us:
I just can't seem to get this work
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Guide updated :)

Re-download everything, use only Recommended versions of the Apps for each step.

It does work ;)
[Defy General] freaxs_r_us:
ok, I finally got the backup to restore, by making a new one and copying and pasting the

posted Nandroid backup into the folder that was just made by the restore before that

did I understand it right? after the first flash the camera is not supposed to be used? but after the second ".sbf" (=the fixed one) that I can use the camera again? or not?

Edit 1:

what fw is the "fixed .sbf"?

Edit 2:

After flashing the fixed.sbf the phone goes to red motorola screen and gets stuck there again...

I followed so many tutorials on how to do this....and still no luck....

Edit 3:

RSDLite 5.3.1 just won't finish off anything else, but the chinese fw
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
A lot of people have used this tutorial and it worked. You are probably doing a step wrong :)

Download the programs again. Read everything again, and be sure that you are not skipping any step.

It is very important to use the app versions supplied and not the standard or latest ones.

Gesendet von meinem CM7 Defy
[Defy General] freaxs_r_us:
I figure I finally got it to work....after following the tutorial for the 5th time...

the whole deal started with my college at work telling me her alarm clock wasn't working right, so I said I'll flash an update and it'll probably get fixed by that...

So I followed the tutorial to get the newest gingerbread release...

first I updated to Froyo 2.2, then I tried to install the gingerbread from DJSteve (2.4.4 is his release number, even though I know its just his modded fw number)

but I was too newbie to get that done, I guess...

So I tried going to the stock 2.3.4 but that didn't work, because after that the phone was dead...I mean so dead, that I was thinking of doing the macgyver thing...

so I bought a new battery...and installed the newest drivers from the motorola site, and it connected today, even though the phone was SOO dead, that I thought I had to buy my college a new one :mad::rolleyes:

then I tried the "Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom" fix and since that I 've been trying this ever since....

Now, finally it worked...

So thanks a lot Zephyrot

last questions: what firmware is the "firmware.rar" / fixed.sbf that is the end of that tutorial?

can I use the camera again now? (not on a chinese device)
[Defy General] defw:
Could someone please tell me where to get the aCatlog?

Thanks!
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
Here :)

Pretty good and free.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
No problem man, it happens often :)

Specially on those steps since the versions needed there are very picky, and doesnt work with any other.
[Defy General] pranks1989:
Hi Zephy. Awesome guide.. Thanks for that :) Well I have a Defy+ and as you said lack of a proper SBF deters me from MODding it!! So, could you plese tell me what are the situations when SBF is actually edited?! I for instance plan to apply the 720p MOD.. So to return to stock after that, do I need to flash the SBF?!
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
That's a hard question to answer hehe, since I don't own a Defy+. I'd say the safest way is creating a Nandroid backup of your current, untouched system.

Then, if anything goes wrong (and you can still access CWM) you can restore that Nandroid. Thats probably the safest way at the moment with a Defy+

gl on your modding~

[Defy General] Nestas:
Hi all!

I'm new to android and I've decided to face it with a defy+

It's like 2 weeks I'm surfing this forum to decide if MB526 is ok for me, but I've never seen this guide until this morning.

Defy+ now costs as the defy, but I feel the defy525 has much more attention from devs than the 526. Is it just for the SBF "lock" or is it due to the age of those devices?

Second, I can't understand how backups work.

If I want to create a full backup as soon as I got the phone, can I do it with nandroid backup so that in case of problem I can restore it?

Is it possible (in future) to see an ICS rom for defy+ ?
[Defy General] walidham:
Multiboot

Can an one help me to install the multiboot?

I want to install CM9 and CM7 .

Great tutorial mate.
[Defy General] reindje:
Thanks for the info "Common Problems/Questions" y have a Defy delivered whit System v. 34.906.1.MB525.T-Mobile.en.De and android 2.2.2 kernel2.6.32.9-gb0c3c8, than ym to fast flashing (sbf) a ohter rom whats go wrong, than flash (sbf) a rom the same like the original but from Orange no Tmobile. Its works great but the only problem was the fm-radio, after +/- 2 weeks its hangs and reboot its the only way to turn it off. Than after x times reset to factory y try a new (sbf) rom, and there its going wrong. The rom (don't now witch) dont work, only back screen after boot and looking here from the sulution and found your gide Common "Problems/Questions" the Defy come to live but after folowing the procedure and in step 3 (nandroid) get a error while try to flash that zip file with CWM and til now after download again that nandroid the same problem. Flashing an other rom dont work here, try many roms, flash (sbf) and zip whit procedure CWM/whiping/restore etc. but no rom work, or a black screen again or stuck in hanging red logo, tric's like remove bat. hold buttons and start won't work. Than y think oke you are a fool (myzelf) to do somthing you don't understand good, and now you are owner off a bricked Defy, only good for use like a wifi mini tablet and thats it. So now asking for help if its possible.

Otherwise the Defy go to the trashcan and thats not so good after a 4 monds using this great phone. Spend now a week and read all y can find, but til now not the golden tip. Downloaded many many rom's (sbf and zip) Nordic's / Froyo's but no rom works here, a black screen or red logo that's it. People here you are my last hope !

Can and wil somebody tell me what to do ? Ym from Holland and thats why not so correctly typing here.

For all here a happy new year
[Defy General] Zephyrot:

[Defy General] reindje:
Zephyrot, thanks for your work to help dummies like me to understand the Defy flashing.

Read your info, but what y dont understand is how can y find out wich CG version is now on the phoon, maby when y now that, its possible to take the good rom or fixed sbf.

- - -phoon info now- - -

System version; Blur_Version.0.0.1.MB525-nightly.T-Mobile.en.Us

Firmware version 2.1-update1

Baseband version 3gsmepu93"_u_93.00.2bi

Build number umts_jordan-eng 2.1-update1 JORDN_U3_97.21.51_GNPO 1307943892 TEST-

- - -

This is what on the phone now only works, but problems whit Motorola stuf and no gsm signal, the only provider he find is motorola, crasy because even when not connected he must show other providers to i think. Try to get it work whit the app basebandswitch and try all the version it have but only tmobile provider showing.
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
I dont know why it says TEST on the Build number, seems fishy.

Did you buy your phone from a store brand new, or got it second hand?

To know which CG version you have installed, you need to know which was full SBF installed on your phone.

For the looks of it, you got Eclair. Which CG version, I dont know since it could be a downgraded CG v5 or if you are chinese a CG v2.
[Defy General] reindje:
It was a new phoon, from jun. 2011 and System version 34.906.1.MB525.T-Mobile.en.De android 2.2.2 on it, but when trying flashing a other rom (but dont make a good backup) its go wrong, til y find JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_164-001_OR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8ORAFR03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYOORAFR_P018_A008_M004_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf and it was the same like y had only no Tmobile logo but Orange, no problems its works and after 2 weeks every day problem whit the FM radio thats hangs, must reboot to get it off, and y use the radio the hole day because ym a busdriver and have no radio's in it so thats why use the phone. Then a try to flash a other rom (don't now wich) and its go rong, black screen and nothing more. Searching here on XDA bring me to here on your topic and on page 1 "Common Problems/Questions" tips downloadd it all but when after install the sbf and after install 2nd Init 1.4.2 and CWM try to install the Nandroid 2011-06-11.14.14.27.zip in boot CWM recovery that zip it gives a error and downloaded again but still wont install on this way even flash the fixed sbf helps me out. That's why trying to flash other roms but no succes.

All the attemps to flash a ohter roms whit RDSlite results in a black screen, only that "Common Problems/Questions" rom will flash in RDSlite give a working phone. Now y have try to flash update-cm-7.1.0-jordan-signed.zip via CWM recovery but this hangs on the google logo. Try to fix it, batt. out and in and hold 2 butons and wipe cache and wipe data/restore but still hangs on google logo, strangs y found thats whene wipeing hi dont show any result of that only boot whit no result.

So to make to problem bigger or smaller flash

DFHKT_U_4.5.2-109_DHT-22-23_SIGNED_USADEFYPRCB1B50AA00A.0R_JRDNGIBRRTHKTW_P023_A022_HWp3a_Service1FF.sbf and YES YES the red logo live's after 3 times blinking its start again but its blinking, then batt. out and boot and hold 2 buttons and wipe cache then reboot........ stil the same, batt. out and reboot whit 2 buttons and wipe data/restore and YES YES YES it start and o dear chinees.

But it works pppffff, carfull trying change language and found Eng. or Chinees,so finali y have a working phone again, men o men this cost me a week to get it work again. Cooldown now and try to surch later if its possible to make it dutch language, ONLY one thing, how do y now if its not the chinees flash killing version ? O and my phoon has a red lens.

System version now is 45.1.22.ME525+.Retail.en.05

Model number ME525+ ??? hu its was a MB525

Android version 2.3.6

So glad that y don't blow it up last night what y was planning to do (have just a last time fun whit it)

[Defy General] ejstubbs:
I've got this, after trying to flash a different SBF on to my new Defy+. Trouble is, none of the SBFs I can find online will fix it. The phone came with Android version 2.3.6, system version 45.0.1880.MB536.Retail.en.GB, kernel version 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid53 #1, build number 4.5.1-134_DFP-188, which I can't find anywhere as an SBF.

I've tried running the Motorola Software Update utility but that can't even identify the phone. It looks like it's been wiped fairly clean :(

Any ideas, before I send it to Motorola's UK service agent to see if they can resurrect it?

(BTW, the reason I was trying to flash the phone was because SuperOneClick couldn't root it. It looked like the zergrush exploit had been fixed in that version of the stock firmware. I wanted to get a version of the firmware on to it that was known to be rootable. Oh well...)

Update: I found the FlashErrorLog file in the RDS Lite folder, It says:
