which is the correct stock version for Defy India users?

I have a Motorola Defy Green Lens MB 525 which I bought in India in Sep 2011. I am currently on CM7.2 with an extremely unstable battery. Want to go back to the stock Froyo it came with. there are several 3.4.3/SEA retail versions on this page for download

Moto_Version.34.30.3301.MB525.Retail.en.SEA15

Moto_Version.34.3601.7.MB525.Retail.en.SEA15

Moto_Version.34.30.3601.MB525.Retail.en.SEA18

It happen sometime. Don't despair. Pull the battery out. After 10 sec put it back, Boot in bootloader (power+ vol-up). Connect the usb cable to PC. Start RSD. Flash again a sbf according to your device. Enjoy.

Hi guys. I bricked my Defy a month ago and as a replacement im using an old Samsung phone. So my problem was, I installed Quarx's Jellybean 4.3 and installed the Kernel 3.0 version ( i think) . Thats when my phone bricked. I freaked out when none of my SBFs were working so i started searching around to see what's happening. Downloaded some sbfs and only one worked. One that was JRDN i think , and it was chinese. Okay, everything worked perfectly after installing the SBF and the ROM but battery was not showing its percentage and was not charging. It only accepted McGyver's method.

Well, now i tried another SBF and obviously, it didn't work. So i wanted to return to the old one, that at least worked, but I DELETED IT! I'm such an idiot. I can't find it online now. I think that by installing that Kernel i got into BL7 that has the battery problems.

btw i have a Defy (non plus) with red lenses.

Please if you can find me some chinese sbfs that fit my suggestions, please reply.

Thanks a lot!

Hi there...I am stuck in bootloader menu for my motorola defy plus 526.

I was trying to upgrade my android version from 2.3.6 to (CM 7.2).I followed all the steps mentioned out there in various forums .But mistakenly i installed a latest version of gapps with it ,so that when it rebooted the android keyboard and a couple of other apps were not working and kept on giving errors..so i again reset and wiped all the data through recovery mode and installed CM 10.2 with its gapps but it didnot reboot and was stuck at the cm10 logo for more than 30 mins.so I again went to the recovery mode and wiped and reset all the data and then it got stuck and didnt boot again.I have tried to flash the sbf files though bootlog using RSDLITE 4.9 but i always get a fail message....and I am stuck.Whenever I put the battery in bootloader menu appears..I cannot find the appropriate sbf file (I have tried Chinese retail for motorola defy)..I dont know where the fault is..Is it the wrong SBF file or something else..My phone details are as follows

[MENTION=4338697]janeindiran[/MENTION] Link for SBF for Defy+ is not working. Please fix it or provide another link.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoeWn:
Hello guys,

i tried to flash a SBF, but unfortunately the usb lost connection during flashing (the usb port on the defy isn't that great anymore). So when i went back to the PC after flashing, the screen of the Defy was totally black. RSD resulted in PASS. So i tried to boot, nothing happened. Tried to boot to recovery..nothing. And the same for bootloader. Luckily, when i connect again to the usb, the known white led flashes and RSD recognises the Defy. But still with black screen. So when i start the SBF flash, the phone says 'SW update' and RSD works normally, untill the phone has to reboot. Then the white letters disappear so it the total screen is black again and stays that way. Meanwhile RSD turns to PASS.

But after that, the same result. No boot, no recovery, no bootloader. Luckily still white flash while connection to PC. And RSD still recognises.

I tried to charge the phone, but nothing happens when i connect AC adapter. Left it on a charger a night. I even left it on usb connection with white led a night.

What do i need to do know? Do i use the wrong SBF? Is my batterylevel to low? Do i need to do McGyver trick? Or is the defy really dead? My defy knowledge stops here.

I was on Quarx CM11, but my TWRP and ROM gut f*cked up, so i wanted to start from base

I've got defy+, retail dutch.

Hi there

I installed SlimROM Slim-mb526-4.4.2.build.4-UNOFFICIAL-20140407-2344 (mine is mb525, but when I flahsed the new ROM it changed my 525 to 526 ,but I dont remember how it got changed ) a while ago and everything was working fine until yesterday

I had an 8gb sdcard and I decided to take the SD and put a bigger one inside the device, and when I decided to boot it, it got stuck and Motorola logo and it bricked.

So I tried to use RSD Lite (4.9, 5.3.1 and 5.6xc) to flash stock ROM (2.2.1) JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-7_R02_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B15CLABRLA019.0R_JORLAFROCL ABRLA_P009_A008_M002_HWp3_Service1FF

And RSD failed to flash it with error: erasing subscriber unit.

My battery died and I was able to make a McGyver fix with no problem, but RSD does not flash it at all, and I even tried to wipe cache and data from the recovery boot and it also did not work.

Is there a way to revert SlimROM to Stock ? Or even to use RSD to flash another SBF (that works) so I can reinstall SlimROM here ?

It was weird that my phone was working just fine before I tried to replace the SD card and now nothing works.

I even tried to flash DFL SBF and had no luck at all

And recovery boot menu does not wipe cache nor data, since when i start to wipe or it takes hours and freezes or ir turns off after i start to wipe.

Any ideas about what i can do ? Tks

Need suggestions for MB525 in nearly complete brick.

Basically I flashed the wrong SBF to it, had forgot about the efuse system, and I think I blew the efuse far too high.

no screen or led activity - but usb will start on windows in flash mode, so rsd lite will work

with RSDlite will work on it, there is no screen or led activity until RSD starts and gets past 29 or 30, where the screen will then pop on and show the bootloader.

It is not possible to get into stock recovery.

I've tried various old SBF and even the chinese SBF which was one of the last official made I think.
