I just wanted to clear one confusion. I m on SEA froyo 2.2.2
I have read in the forum that downgrading from 2.3 to 2.2 is generally not possible. Then why is there no issue when downgrading from cm7/miui which is based on 2.3.5? I flashed SEA froyo 2.2.2 sbf easily from miui. Please clear my confusion. Thanks in advance.

same confusion. too.
Since the defy has a locked bootloader, we cant install custom kernels so for cm7/miui the rom is built on the official froyo kernel. So to downgrade to froyo all you have to do is flash full sbf

I have flashed the newer Radio Rom so i could flash a 2.2 rom, but am having same smallish issue with 2.2 roms.
If i go back to a 2.1 rom will i need to downgrade my radio rom to an older version or is it ok to use newer radio?
If going back to a 2.1 based rom, use one of the 4.xx.xx.xx radio's as they are intended for Eclair roms.
For Froyo 2.2 roms, use the relevant 5.xx.xx.xx radio.
The 5.xx.xx.xx radio's are not intended for Eclair roms so yes, you will have to downgrade back to 4.xx.xx.xx.

As far as I'm aware, the new radio is specific to froyo. It can cause some issues on 2.1 roms.
I'm sure I seen someone post that they had problems.
You can downgrade exactly the same way you updated anyway though. Just make sure you remember not to interrupt the flash.
Thank you for your answers MasDroid/socktug.
Does someone know where to download a 4.xx.xx.xx as all i can find are 5.xx.xx.xx radio roms.
You will find them HERE
Thank you again, have now downloaded 32.37.00.32U_4.06.00.16_2, will downgrade and back to 2.1 rom later.
Thanks again.
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
I can't find anything on this so I'm either the noobiest here or I am just blind.
I have a Defy with me here and its Sim free and just plain 2.1 Blur. So I want to know if I can just install 2nd init download MIUI/CM7 and instal it through clock work? Any advice is appreciated
Please read some more. I'd recommend you take a look at the 'Defy Android Development' section. To help you a bit:
You should first root your phone.
Then flash Android 2.2 (flash a nandroid backup and a fixed sbf to keep downgrade ability)
After you've done that you can install Cyanogen.
Yes, read the CM7 FAQ Thread in the Defy Android Development.
I think you should use fixed and flashing method so that you can have downgradability to 2.1

Go to 2.2 stock via MSU or RSD anyway. Since this is an official update, Warranty is not an issue. You don't need root to do this.
Once there, and you may find 2.2 very usable (I do and you know from the Blade how much cooking I do!), you can then try 2.3 flavours. They need you to be at 2.2 anyway.
Hi
How can i return to the froyo 2.2 my Defy came with? Which sbf do i need for Germany? Or ist this working over a *.zip?
Wanna be able to return to stock in case i want to sell it..
Plz help or guide me to the right thread...cant find it
EDIT: Ok found the info here on XDA...
have you tried browsing through the official SBFs page? There is a list of FULL SBFs (I think) that you may flash on your phone.
But you have to remember what particular CG version you had prior to installation of CM7. Check the thread about the Beginner's Guide to Motorola Defy. It's a very informative guide.

is it possible to downgrade from defy 2.3.4 gingerbread?

I think so. I'm assuming that Gingerbread 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 are under the same CG versions (that's from how I understood the All-in-One guide).
But you haven't flashed any FULL SBFs yet, right? You just installed the CM7?
I've got a Motorola Defy+ which was running on 2.2 when i purchased it.
In modding my defy+ i managed to update it to 2.3.6 with a full sbf file before being aware of the whole "no downgrade" option.
I really like the look of wajkiui rom. However upon reading the details of it; it seems that its only available to 2.2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110
Is there any possible way at all that I can downgrade 2.3.6 to 2.2? I'd then just do a fixed sbf + nandroid backup.
or
Is there a version of the wajkiui rom that is made available for 2.3.6 that i'm not aware of?
I've done a lot of searching on xda and havent been able to find an answer.. so thought id make a thread
Thanks
