Hello
I finally took the jump into trying the 4.1 beta of CM7 today, but am having problems with my camera.
I decided to downgrade, to 2.21 which was my original firmware using RSD and although the flash works, and the phone reboots it gets stuck at the Motorola Blur logo and won't boot.
I suspect I cannot go back to 2.21.
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to go back to 2.21 or if not, what is the earliest UK version of software I can restore to using RSD?
Thanks
Glen
I'm not sure on the lowest, but I would reflash the .sbf file posted in the tutorial in this section
There's been an update released today so It's Beta 5.
My camera, video camera, and play back is working fine now!
Everyone on cm7 should have flashed Nordic then put cm7

I did that and got the bootloop problem. So Nordic not always work. Then i tried to flash several sbf and finally saved my mobile flashing Korean 3.4-74 Fixed SBF (http://defy-sbf.4shared.com)
then i rooted and installed without any problem cm7 beta 4
Well I've now got CM7 working fine, but would still like to know what stock ROM I can go back to.
Any ideas?

I tryed installing cm7 on my Defy (mb25 telstra version)
I followed the guide, flashed it with the Official Froyo Korean v3.4.2-74 fixed SBF and then went into clockwork mod and installed cyogenmod.
Couldn't get it load up so i flashed back to the original stock firmware(eclair)
Now it loads into android but just becomes unresponsive.
Same thing happens when i try other stock sbf's aswell
Any ideas?
OK MANAGED TO SCROLL THROUGH TO FACTORY DATA RESET AND NOW IT WORKS
Install nordic 1 or 2 nandriod and then flash cm7 onto it
Hi, I have been running on Gingerbread CM7 for a few weeks now until today when I attempted to install 2nd-init. After the installation, I rebooted my Defy and has been stuck on the red logo. I tried flashing with an nandroid backup 2.34 sbf but it's still looping on the logo. I've also tried wiping data after flashing and still no luck.
I appreciate your time taken in helping me out of this mess. Thanks.

Hey, I've managed to flashed back to the Nordic 2.2.2 SBF and everything's fine now. I panicked a little yesterday as I was away on vacation and had no phone to use. But I'm back home now and it's fixed. Thank you all!
Hi there,
My Defy was on Quarx's 0308 CM9 (With CM7 Kernel), when I tried to install Walters Kernel using 4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel.zip. After doing this it did not go past the "M" logo upon reboot.
I then read that others had flashed the fixed DHT-22 kernel to fix this issue. I accidentally selected the wrong SBF (JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-11_BLUR_SIGNED) and I am now stuck in a boot loop. Could anyone please help me figure this out?
Thanks in advance
Can you get into recovery ? , have you tried full wipe , data,catch+dalvik

No can't get into recovery, only into bootloader to flash sbf's.

I was in your situation last week (stuck at m logo), so i flashed a 2.2 sbf, then rooted, installed recovery and installed ics again with correct kernel,
That is the way i done it, its a long way around but I'm not sure if there is a faster way sorry,

i have today this problem.
i found china sbf 2.2.2 work on my defy flash root boot cm7 and cm9
Thanks for the response, I'm busy downloading another SBF to try that, will give feedback and thanks, if I prevail!
Ok, I'm back in action. The issue was that I needed to wipe user data and cache using the standard restore (I think that's what it's called). Anyway instead of looking for a SBF that makes it work, I accessed the standard restore by holding volume - while powering up, then wiped user data and cache, which stopped the boot loop after the reboot.
Now I'm back onto CM9
Glad That Worked me too faced alot probs with CM7 and 9
Hi everyone, newbie to Android here looking for a bit of help. I took the time to sift through the forums and do my own research before posting and didn't find anything similar so here goes.
I flashed my Motorola Defy running stock Froyo 2.2.1 to CM7 using Defy Clockworkmod Recovery which I got from this site (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233). No major issues except for the learning curve one has to go through when using Android for the first time, did take a lot of reading though. After flashing I noticed that I no longer picked up a cell signal, attempted to flash back to Froyo which, as far as I understood, was possible if you did your flashing through CWM. Anyway, after doing the factory/cache wipe and rebooting my phone freezes at the CM7 "Google" logo which comes up on boot. Attempted wipe several times, same result.
I tried flashing with RSD Lite 5.7 but after unzipping the CM7 file I get an error message regarding an XML file. The machine I'm running RSD on is Windows Vista and apparently there are some compatibility issues. Is my only solution running a Windows XP VM and attempting to flash from there?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Do you still have bootmenu and CWM on your phone? if so just install CM7. If you are able to install and boot into CM7, just keep it. No need to go back to stock froyo. You should use baseband switcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052745) and switch to the correct depending on your region. This should pick the phone and data signal.
I too have vista with 32bit and had no issues using RSDLite, couple of folks have reported compatability issues but do not know. You can as well use XP if possible to flash back to froyo. Please charge the battery to sufficient say more than 70% and start flash.

I do have bootmenu, after flashing CM7 the CWM was no longer on my installed apps, tried to get it from market but that as well as other google apps were missing, unfortunately I attempted to go back to Froyo before flashing the google apps pack from what I understand flashing through bootmenu is done using RSD, correct? Thanks for the link to baseband switcher, Ill give it a try as soon as my phone is back up and running

as far as i understand if you just have bootmenu and can install CM7 then just download the google pack and then go back into boot menu and install the google pack then you should be good to go again.
sorry if i have mis-understood.
cheers

Hi. All was working well when I was running Quarx's version of CM10 on my Green Lens Defy. I could update to each new update CM10 ROM by clearing the data and cache then flashing the ROM and GApps. After that, I wiped the dalvik cache and reboot. Note my Defy is using a Froyo kernel.
Then I decided to try out Codename Android JB Beta and I did what I normally did with the ROM and then GApps. I ended up stuck in a bootloop. No problem I thought. I'd just reflash Quarx's own version of CM10 after wiping data and cache. I got stuck in a bootloop again. Odd. I tried it with older versions of Quarx's CM10 and they result in me getting stuck in a bootloop as well. So I flashed the US T-Mobile SPF for the Defy using RSD Lite then I logged in to BLur and such as that is needed to access the homescreen where I then turned on USB debugging. I then plugged in my phone into my computer to use SuperOneClick Root to root my device. It said my device was already rooted though I don't think that should happen since I flashed a stock 2.1 SPF. Well I rebooted and installed the 2ndinit apk then installed 2ndinit using the app. I think it said that 2ndinit was already installed. But if my memory is wrong in this case, I then installed 2ndinit and rebooted my Defy but I never got a blue LED.
Then I did the same steps as I did previously over and over again with variations to try to get it to work.
Can someone help?
I caution anyone who may attempt to install Codename Android JB Beta from CM10.
On another matter, downloading an OTA update then rebooting when pressing "install now" brings me to the triangle with exclamation screen and gets stuck there.
Have you done a fullwhipe in the Motorola Recovery before flashing the SBF??(usually you would get a bootloop without fullwhiping but maybe the solution is that easy )
And why did you flash a 2.1 SBF you should maybe try some other SBFs like the Froyo SBFs for your Country

Oh a full wipe in stokc recovery is needed? I'll try it.
Can you suggest a good SBF for a US Green Lens Defy if you know any?
Is it fine if I use the 3.4.2-179 CEE Deblur SBF as recommended by Quarz for a base then root, install 2ndinit. and flash CM10 from Clockwork Mod Recovery?
