[Q] Need Help for Upgrading my Defy

Hello guys,
I need help for upgrading my Defy to the last blur-less rom in 2.2.1.
What I did :
I had the motorola 2.1 stock rom.
I used superonclick to root my defy.
I had a custom recovery installed maybe the one with superoneclick.
I used Rdslite 4.9 with this rom : 3.4.2.-155-2 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978792
I flashed my device, it restarded, it booted with the "M" of motorola and the "android" logo and that's it, it doesn't go further.
I tried after that to flash differents .sbf of differents versions but some bricked my phone. I reflashed to the 3.4.2-155-2.
Now I still have the booting sequence until "android" logo. I can boot in "flash mode" 9.10 and I can boot in recovery but only to the trinagle, when I click on the bottom right of the screen it doesn't do nothing. edit : In fact I found an other post that says that we can boot in recovery by pressing up volume and down volume button at the same time.
What can I try now ?
Thanks for your help
edit : It's ok now, I could wipe my date and now it works fine. A lot of stress but it's ok now.

OK I've just recently upgraded my 2.1 to the UK 2.2.
When you go into recovery & you see the android logo the bottom right hand of the screen only works in 2.1 I believe so for 2.2 you need to press the volume up & volume down buttons both at the same time. This will take you to the recovery screen & you then use the volume button to choose the action eg; reboot, clear data etc & then press the power button once to confirm that action.
Hope that helps

Bootloader with Froyo

Hey guys,
i just flashed the new UK Firmware for my Defy and installed the Pays Froyo Rom.
But now i noticed that its not possible to get into the bootloader and wipe my phone like in Eclair. I started it with VOL down + power button and when the Android appears and i touch in the lower right bottom, no menu appears....
Any hints ?
Thx in advance !

when green android appears press vol + and vol - together

no menu becorse you need install recovery after flashing

touching the lower right bottom is the eclair way of getting into the recovery.
in froyo, you'll have to press volume up then down quickly (almost like pressing up + down). of course, you'll have to install recovery for it to work in the first place

Triangle appears after
press vol + and vol - together

And to avoid future confusion, that is recovery but not bootloader

bootloader - hold power button and vol+ together
recovery - hold power button and vol- together
in recovery mode,hold vol+ and vol- together to show the menu(Froyo)
press power button to confirm

Thanks to u all guys, i finally got it
I would like to know how i can turn my phone back factory settings because i got problems with the phonespeaker...
I know where i can find the stock sbf.file for the german defy, so i flash the sbf.file and thats it ? Where i can get the original stock rom ? (i live in germany and bought the phone in a shop, so ist not branded)
Many thanks in advance !

The stock sbf is the full rom. It should be something like 100-300mb.

So all i have to do is to factory reset and flash the sbf file and everything is undone including root ?

It won't boot if you flash a 2.1 sbf after flashing a full non-fixed 2.2 sbf. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999566 for downgrade to 2.1.

in the future... please read all the tutorials and be prepared for anything you are going to do on your phone.
1. Turn off your phone
2. Go to recovery (hold Power + Vol-)
3. When the android triangle shows up pres Vol+ and Vol- buttons at the same time
4. Wipe data
5. Wipe cache
6. Reboot your phone and go to bootloader (Power + Vol+)
7. Flash your SBF via RSDlite
That`s the whole procedure how to downgrade to Froyo. I think that you forgot to do some of these steps but in my opinion go again from the beginning.
EDIT: Seems I`m 2 min`s too late

yeah thats all rite , but now what should i do ? i flashed it 2-3 times. but i ain't getting any kind of recovery . its just struck on boot screen. tell me how would i wipe cache when there is now recovery coming out.?

Most things are the same for defy and defy+
Off course not the downgrade and warranty stuff.
"I downgraded from CM7 to Stock / Installed a new SBF but I'm having bootlops: (!) If this is happening to you, after flashing the Stock SBF, enter in Stock Recovery and do a full wipe (Data/Cache) and reboot."
"How do I enter Recovery Mode?!: With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear, if you are on Éclair the menu should appear without having to press anything."
Hope it helps
Edit:
Didn't see the (!), it says not for Defy+, you can try

maybe you have flashed a wrong sbf, that make it brick, we call it fake brick in China

thankssssssss labsin!!!! great

wipe data
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk

Wich sbf you flashed?? And wich rom was using before flash??
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz

Go to stock recovery!
STEPS:
Make sure your phone is off.
Press Power + volume down button at the same time.
When the M logo appear you may release.
Then you'll see a Droid in a triangle.
Now press vol. up AND vol. down simultaneously.
USe the vol button to scroll up and down with power button to confirm.
First Wipe cache and see if it works.
If not reset factory data.
It SHOULD fix the black screen.
Hope it helped.

ok.. so how can i fix it ?

Well, first try flashing froyo, if that not work, try this sbf,
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263212
Is Defy + blur sbf, 2.3.4 cg 5,
TRY FROYO FIRST, YOU CANT DOWNGRADE DIRECTLY TO FROYO IF YOU FLASH THE 2.3.4 STOCK, If that dont work, youre stuck on 2.3.6, remember to wipe data in stock recovery before flashing, and if you got bootloop wipe data too,
To enter stock recovery, press when the phone off, POWER + VOL -, Until you see an android with an exclamation, then press VOL - + VOL +, at the same time,
Well any doubt just ask!
Good hacking!

That SBF is 2.3.4. The one you flashed previously 4.5.3-109-DPP-14 was 2.3.6 with CG 6. No way will the 2.3.4 SBF work after flashing the 2.3.6 SBF, or any Froyo SBF. Read this thread (oh look, it's the FIRST THREAD ON THIS FORUM!!!) - read the whole of the first post on that thread - to understand why.
You won't be able to go back to Froyo having flashed 4.5.3-109-DPP-14. What you can do is try one of the other CG 6 SBFs listed in this thread. Do NOT flash 4.5.1-134-DFP-188 or 4.5.1-134-DFP-137. Maybe try 4.5.1-134-DFP-132, that's a European SBF with the same CG as 4.5.3-109-DPP-14.
By the way, does your Defy have a red lens or a green lens camera? The green lens camera is likely not to work with 2.3.x SBFs even if the phone itself boots.

i have the green lens

with green lense you can use DFP-10
but if you already tried any other official full sbf 2.3.x rom - it is possible situation that you will be not able to downgrade to lower version

i tried all 2.3.6 versions, none of them worked

please help

I am on the same boat.. Will post something if I find a solution..

The diaplay is still off??, very strange, explain what happen now, exactly the same?? Can you! Enter on recovery?

Sorry to be the messanger with the bad news, but... forget about downgrade! Once you flash a full sbf with higher version, you can't go back.
