Hi. Well, I've used CM7 and I liked it a lot. But the speaker is broken now, and now I have to bring it to RMA. I was using my default 2.2.1 sbf (Personal AR 2.2.1) with CM7, so, I just tryied to flash it again. Ok, the RSD stays in "Please power the phone manually", but the phone keeps restarting the boot animation (the blur one, not the M).
So, I've tryied with SBF 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC (the one used in CM7), and now Im going to try with JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002.
But it's strange to me, because, I've used the NORDIC one previously to test CM7. (after all, CM7 worked flawesly in the Personal 2.2.1, so I switched back to that).
So, what can I do?
RSD keeps recognizing it ok, and I can access to the stock android recovery (not the clockwork).
Before flashing via rsd lite, turn on your device into recovery mode.
Shutdown it, by pulling out battery, press volume down and power button ( keep pressing volume down ). Wait some seconds and you'll enter into recovery.
Then, press both volume buttons and wipe data/factory reset.
Flash again your sbf!
Yes, thanks! I totally forget that. Now I just need to wait the RMA.

Edit:
Solved bootloop by flashing stock 2.51.1 full sbf.
Then to install CyanogenMod7:
1-rooted with SuperOneClick
2-installed sd-recovery
3-restored 3.4.177-005 nandroid
4-flashed 3.4.177-005 fixed sbf
5-applied CyanogenMod zip in recovery
Hi!! This is my (sad) first post! :'(
My Defy was never flashed and had this stock rom:
JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA030.0R_USAJORDANRTFR_P043_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
I used sbf_flash with 3.4.2_155-Fixed.CEE_DEBLUR.sbf and now my Defy is in reboot loop...
I need to remove the battery to make it stop, because if I put the battery back on, the phone immediately starts to boot!
When I press "power+vol up" to enter recovery, I see a logo like software installing from a box into the phone and then the logo switches to a triangle with an exclamation mark.
When I press "power+vol down" to enter download/usb flash mode, I can see the android robot with the same triangle, like the usual background of recovery mode, but when I touch the screen nothing happens...
Please help me!!! :'(

You should have flash a nandroid first of 3.4.2_155 before the fixed SBF.
But anyways, you could get out of boot loop by flashing the "full" SBF of 3.42_155 or other leaked froyo rom. Refer to walter's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 and download the rom.
After flashing go into stock recovery mode(power+vol down) when the exclamation mark appears press vol up + vol down. Wipe then reboot.
Thanks!!!
But if I flash with a full 3.42_155, I'll lose the ability to downgrade to 2.1 right?
Can I flash JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB 1B80AA030.0R_USAJORDANRTFR_P043_A010_HWp3_Service1 FF.sbf instead to put the phone back to stock?
I was thinking about flashing back to 2.51 to recover the phone(?), then since this rom gives so many problems with rooting and recovery I would perhaps flash "defy_2.21_boot_only.sbf" (How to root UK v2.51 ROM) and hope that I would get a working recovery that doesn't complains when trying to mount sdcard, so that I can do nandroid backups/restores and try to re-flash 3.42_155.
Would it work?
Hi, i messed up my phone in a really stupid way
So, until a few days ago i had a froyo installed on my phone ( + 3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR_SIGN ROM) but then i decided to give a try to CyaongenMod Beta 5.1.
I followed this very well detailed installation guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447 and got my CM7 working, but after a day i became unhappy with the CM7, the camera didnt work properly and there were many other issues.
What I did next, I turned my phone off, went into stock android recovery and did a full factory reset and cache wipe. I rebooted the phone and hoped that i would be able to load a normal android system, but the only thing that is happening is a motorola logo being displayed.
I tried connecting my phone via USB to flash an old ROM (3.4.2_155) but the phone is not appearing in the RSD Lite - i think it has to be completely turned on in order to appear there, isnt is true?
What shall i do to be able to turn my phone on properly, and is it possible to flash another working rom via RSD lite without having my phone turned on?
i tried to factory reset + wipe with stock and custom recovery, still no luck, phone freezes at motorola logo during start up.
i dunno why it still doesnt show up in RSD lite, any tips on how and when should i try connecting it via USB cable?
EDIT I forgot that for a phone to appear in RSD Lite without being switched on it has to be in a bootloader mode!! (which is entered by holding a volume up button during strart up, just like volume down button for recovery! i know, im stupid, i don't know how i could forget about this)
So, i entered the bootloader menu and managed to have my phone seen by RSD Lite, next I flashed a new SBF and I was getting a bootloop, and fixed it by a data wipe in stock recovery!)
Try to take out battery after few minutes put it back. Pull in usb cable. Then try to push the right buttons.
SOLUTION
First get your phone in bootloader mode by pressing VOLUME UP first and then POWER button till you get that logo.......Then flash it with rsd lite..,,,

Don't forget to wipe the phone after RSD flashing, otherwise it will encounter the bootloop

Can you tell me how to wipe the phone?
I got stuck when i press volume down button it appears a little android
To enter stock recovery start your phone by pressing Vol Down + Power. Then when the android icon with the exclamation mark appears press the right bottom of your screen (if you are on Eclair) or press both Vol Up + Vol Down buttons if you are on Froyo. Then for navigation use volume buttons and for selection/enter use the power button.

Still don't work i root with ginger break,then i flash with RSD Lite when the phone restart i press vol down button i do wipe data/factory reset ,i reboot the phone and nothing
I'm not sure if I got it right but you are saying that you have rooted it with gingerbreak. If I'm not wrong you are/were for the moment on Eclair of Froyo so you do not need to use a tool that is useful to achieve root on Gingebread. You must install Gingerbread first then root it.
I must admit that I haven't tried this ROM (there were so many bugs reported on the ROM thread so I decided I'll stay on latest CM7 beta) but you can try it on your phone using one of the next methods:
A) By applying a nandroid backup and then flashing a fixed SBF (by doing so you'll keep you downgradability)
- install ClockworkMOD recovery
- wipe cache, data, dalvik cache
- install the nandroid
- reboot phone in bootloader
- apply fixed SBF
B) By applying a full SBF
- reboot in stock recovery
- wipe data, cache....
- reboot in bootloader
- flash full SBF
Then you can root it with Gingerbreak.
Sincerely I strongly recommend you to install a more stable ROM like the Nordic one or the official French (both based on Android 2.2.2).
Hope it helps. It you'd like I can give you more details via private messages in Romanian.
hi,
i have troubles with my phone :-(
1) i installed CM7 RC0 over my stock ROM - 2.2.1 i think?
2) i want to upgrade to RC1v2...and so i tried to install JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005 first, cause its recommended.
3) while using RSD lite v5.3.1 in the last step, after rebooting the device, after the Motorola logo, an ANDROID logo appeares.
4) this ANDROID logo dosent freeze, but it dont goes away
no button is working - tried to remove battery but same happens again.
any ideas how to fix it? thx korros
remove your accu.
push power + vol down and replace the accu
the android should shown.
now push vol down + vol up.
now use the vol down to chose wipe/ factory reset.
now chose yes.
now reboot your phone and wait around 5-10 minutes.
sorry a my poor english
saved my day! thx!
that whas the same trouble i had 3 days ago.

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
