Well, I can only suspect that your ROM was most probably BL7 (because of 2.3.7), on the other hand I don't want to stuck you on BL7 if your ROM was BL6.

You shall take care of your battery - with no system on board it's not being charged. Best solution is using external charger or friend's defy. If not accessible then see this post

So first I would try BL6 ROM from here - just choose a file from a range 4.5.1-134_DFP-125 to 161. If it doesn't work then try the last one in the list, Chinese retail 4.5.3-109 DPP14-17. At least I would go this way. Maybe the host of this thread proposes also other files to try.

If above doesn't work I can give some links to BL7 ROMs
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonnew:
thanx again , unfortunately i already flashed the chinese ROM before which is not working either.

i think it just stuck there with no solutions at all!

really appreciate.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
That's why I asked about file names not to loose the time. Have you tried other files I proposed you? If so you are most probably BL7.

Retail Asia BL7 you can find here

Also you can try other sbfs from the list I gave you in the previous post. You just should try untill you find sbf which works for you.

Usually the higher number (especially in the part after letters like DFP-xxx) the higher probability it will work, but usually no use of trying lower numbers - just a general tip.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonnew:
thanx heaps for the solution which I will give a try later.

Proper .sbf version question

I have a US t-mo Defy and I am not 100% sure on which .sbf file I should flash to the device. Would the T-Mobile_MB525_6.19.0_1FF be the recommended one for this device?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janeindiran:
yes. you can flash T MOBILE sbf. But flash only DEFY version
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
Just depends whether you are green or red lense, as they were BL4 or BL5.

And it depends whether you want to flash CM10 builds then or not.

If so then stock sbfs of US T-mobile have to be changed to other sbfs. For red lense look for user tasntos posts, for green you can use 3.4.2-179 sbf

mb525 bayer / mb526 crashes on install apps

I'll try to explain the problem that occurred with my MB525 bayer lens:

I updated my phone the old froyo BL5, now I'm using a sbf BL6 the mb526. on first boot, I noticed that the machine continues with 3 modules of frequency and VSEL, after I install the CM7 step to have the 4 options vsels and frequency, until then I think everything is normal, or does the sbf should already be standard 4 choices of VSEL? But the problem is not this, after many forced restarts and FC, and many, many software updates, I got a bit of stability, but when I try to install any application from market that is slightly higher than in the normal when it finishes downloading and installation begins in the middle of the process the device reboots or the message that the package file was not signed correctly or that the package is invalid, it sometimes keeps crashing during boot, and sometimes it starts normally, but whenever I install any app restarts the device alone, already tested and vsels different frequencies, different gapps, and continues this problem, has anyone experienced this? some solution? problem is the internal memory of my phone? sometimes he loses some information, some corrupt files.

When I bought the unit, it restarted itself when I was using, and when I was not using too, when I picked up the phone he was on screen MOTOBLUR, and it was restarting several times, it was when I updated to CM7 doing root, installing 2ndinit the zip and installing _ MB525. since the machine was perfect, never had any problems or restarted, wore vsels low and the battery was great. I fall into the mistake of upgrading to mb526 and try to install the CM10, since the device can not get stable again. :rolleyes:
