I have a defy with an original froyo ROM (I bought it on july 2011):
Version.34.167.3.MB525.Retail.en.FR (build 3.4.2-164)
I have a red lens.
I would like to flash the full Nordic stock ROM because it is blurless and have less bloatware.
My questions are:
- since I have the same CG versions I dont need downgradability, so can I direclty flash the full nordic stock ROM ?
- if I do a nandroid backup before, will I be able to restore the phone in its original state? (in case I have a problem with the Nordic ROM...)
Thanks
yes and yes
No probs at all if you are going to try that. That's what these things are designed for

Can I get stock Froyo rom on Telus Desire ?
I have already rooted 2.1 that's on it, if that makes a difference.
I have no interest in running a custom rom since the stock (2.2) one has everything I need...
I'm also wondering the same thing actually.
I've been looking into upgrading to this ROM, since it's claimed to be 'stock':
[ROM] Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed]
It won't let me post a link, but its in the Desire Android Development page
I think that's the one I found but it said you have to wipe...
I just want to upgrade and keep my existing data

I answered my own question.
Modaco (where I'm also premium) has more information on the subject... I rooted a week or so ago and modaco has the stock Froyo with radio and already rooted rom.
So I just downloaded that and applied update, I didn't even wipe before since I didn't want to lose my data.
Anyways problem solved.
also just picked up the desire , on rogers and was hoping to upgrade to 2.2, I had the hero before and it was a little more clear cut back then, but Im not sure to wait for official or just root and get stuff started,
NEed HELP

I am on stock Eclaire 2.1 JRDNEM_U3_2.59.0 deblur india.
Can I upgrade my phone with new Official Korean rom by nandroid backup and flashing fixed sbf of same?
Also can I return back to 2.1 JRDNEM_U3_2.59.0 deblur by flashing sbf?
Thanks in advance.
If you always use fixed SBF's (not full SBF) you can always rollback to your stock rom. Don't know if you can upgrade directly to Korea, but you can try. If anything goes wrong, you only have to go back.
PS: I don't know if it's a good moment to update, since many 2.2 ROM's have been released in the week. Maybe you can wait a little, and see a good custom rom on the next days (barebones 1.4 is scheduled to sunday).
So as when I flashed with fixed SBF, I am safe to rollback to original.
Is this will case in Pays-Rom v5.1 also? If I flashed with fixed 3.4.3_11-Stock.UKTmobile_BLUR and updated with Pays ROM, everything will be fine? or Pays Rom it self is downgradable?
I have 2.59 Indian defy , I have following questions about flashing
1. Can I revert back to stock 2.59 fw after flashingg to 2.2/2.3 ? So if official update will available there will not be any problem.
2. If yes please post link of downgradable method.
3. Whats the differance
Nandroid backup & sbf & fixed sbf?
4. Are nandrroid backup /sbf/ fixed sbf different for every defy?
Thank you.....
Sorry,i am also a noob for defy. And can you tell me where to edit my personal XDA profile
sent from DEFY noob
1. yes you can.
2. You need to go into recovery, install the nandroid backup of 2.59 and flash the 2.59 sbf.
3. Not sure, though they are same for 2.51 & 2.59
Why would you want to go back to Company firmware anyways... I have Barebones 1.5 which is way better than the company firmware, is much faster (my quadrant score is 1600+), has none of the moto bloatware, everything is very stable...?
And by the looks of it, by the time Moto releases 2.2 in India, 2.3.3 will already be available here (courtesy Quarx's excellent work..!)
Thanks mate....just installed cwm & 2nd init recovery...now confused between barebones or cyanogen 2.3..
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
yeah you can do it
I'd say go with the Barebones 1.5.1, it is a very stable ROM, CM7 still has some niggling issues...
I've been on Barebones 1.4 onwards and I am totally loving it... OC'ed my phone to 300/700/1100 and it is rock solid stable....

Cynogen... its rocks....
Works great on my defy, few niggles but it can carried away..Its fast, stable for me and battery life is better than any other ROM for me..
Now that my defy has an official froyo
I want to know if it is possible to move to different froyos by flashing full sbf
and if it is possible to go back to the official froyo with out the nandroid+FIXED sbf method.
Thanxx in advance
Hi.
I have the same question in principle.
Recently i flashed my defy through MSU to Blur_Version.34.177.3.MB525.Retail.en.xx (DACH). But I found out that there is no russian swype. I want to root one and install swype ver. 3.
Question. If i don't like this build i could flash another official SBF (Moto_Version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.CEE) where russian swype is?
Can i flash SBF over?
Can i change build in the same version Froyo 2.2.2?
Can anyone help us?? Please

Yes..you can flash any sbf you like.
well make sure that you have the official sbf with you.(save it on your computer for future use). You can install the official froyo sbf whenever you want.
I would suggest you to try the latest CM7.It is awesome
Thanks it worked now i have miui working flawlessly except for some language issues!!!
Good news to hear coz I'm also on Froyo.....
but I read too many and become more blur... My Defy is official SEA15 2.2.2 / 34.30.3301 (Build JEM_3.4.3-33-1). Can somebody tell me the different between flashing full sbf compare to nandroid+fixed sbf? From my understanding, flashing full sbf is upgrading (2.1-->2.2). Nandroid+fixed sbf is for returning to official ROM after moving to different ROMs (CM7-->Froyo 2.2). Pls correct me if I'm wrong...
During MSU update via pc, there will be a sbf file at C:\Program Files\Motorola\Software Update\. Is that full sbf file?
What is the different between my own nandroid backup compare to nandroid upload by others? Can I return to my offical ROM with myownNandroid+fixed sbf?
To make nandroid, I need to root Defy. For warranty purpose, will flashing Nandroid+fixed sbf act as Defy unroot?
I'm planning to get CM7, but there are too many versions. Which one is best and stable? (info : my Defy is green lens...)
Thanks in advance
Hey,
I flashed CM7.2 the other day and kind of forgot to make any backups of the stock rom. I'm pretty unsure which rom to use on a finnish GIO (it had GB 2.3.3) to go back to stock? I tried googling around a bit, but found alot of roms which makes me unsure which one to use.
I currently have files:
S5660XXKPE_S5660XXKPA_S5660XENKP1
S5660XXKPE_S5660XXKPA_S5660OXFKP1
S5660XXKPK_S5660XXKPA_S5660OXFKP4
