hi all i wanted to know how to install any ROM with keeping DOWNGRADE ablitity ?
I have downloaded CM7 RC1.5 i m runnung on stock 2.2.2 have full sbf of stock as well as fixed sbf for same
now which rom is good rc1.5 or official or anyother ?
i read that rc1.5 does not do recording is it correct ?
i read new installation guide of CM7 it says simply install CM7 and if u wanna go back to stock just flash it with RSD ? nowhere FIXED SBF or somthing is mentioned but a person has commented it is FULL ROM and not fixed ?
Really confused please help ASAP
cm7 is only a update.zip, not a full sbf, wont change cg version, so~ u can go back to froyo at anytime by flashing froyo sbf⊙.⊙

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.

You said you followed the forum for two month already?
You should have stumbled upon the cyanogenmod 7 faq thread by now.
There you will find all instructions you need...
I agree with "puked" read the awsome cm7 FAQ !!
sorry for my bad english

My way (another take other...) :
- download 3.4.2 177-005 Nordic Deblur SBF on PC
- enter stock recovery on Defy
- wipe data/cache
- reboot Defy into bootloader
- launch RSDLite on PC
- connect Defy to PC
- flash 3.4.2 177-005 Nordic Deblur SBF
- launch SuperOneClick on PC
- root your Defy
- install ClockWorkMod on Defy
- download cm7-110729-0115-BOOT179-Jordan.zip on PC
- copy it on SD
- download cm7-110809-0713-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip on PC
- copy it on PC
- enter custom recovery on Defy
- wipe cache
- wipe Dalvik cache
- apply cm7-110729-0115-BOOT179-Jordan.zip
- reboot your Defy
- re-enter custom recovery on Defy
- re-wipe cache
- re-wipe Dalvik cache
- apply cm7-110809-0713-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip
- re-reboot your Defy
- that's all !
I hope it helps you
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot :
- BEFORE ALL, READ THE CM7 FAQ AND THE 1000 PAGES OF [DEV][ROM]CM7 THREAD !!!
PS : I wipe cache and Dalvik cache before any CM7 nightly update; perhaps not necessary but I never had problems... It's my choice...
i m already on cm7 with the help of faqs and cm7 thread, i did not applied nightly, what i m missing without the nightly and do i apply nihgtly after about a week of flashing cm7,
thanks in advance
Nightlies are for members who want help devs by testing beta.
If you don't want that and are happy with your RC1v2, don't flash nightly...
If you are agree with the terms of nightlies, you can apply the lastest (cm7-110809-0713-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip, it's stable) via custom recovery (ZIP from SD, not update ZIP...) after a wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache.
I have applied pretty much every other nightly since 110715 and haven't had any issues. For me they are as stable as RC1, actually better (e.g. camera). I am currently on the latest nightly 110809-0713.
+1
Agree with you, more stable !
Where do you see the 110809 nightly?
defy.tanguy.tk/jordan-nightly only shows up to 110808?
No, in my browser, defy.tanguy.tk/jordan-nightly and defycm7.tanguy.tk/ show the 110809-0713.
Try to put directly this address :
h**p://defy.tanguy.tk/jordan-nightly/cm7-110809-0713-NIGHTLY-Jordan.zip
Well i flased nightly after CM7 initialy but was not able to download any thing from market after flasing it. may be i ll give it another try after reaching home.
does it have any effect on battery life?
Try to delete your Market cache!

Hi, guys I am on 2.2.2 exact same config as the OP here. July 2011 manufacture. Green lens + Bayer module
now, I am just about to flash CM7 RC1 2.3.4. Was wondering, is this a Full SBF? even if I dont follow the Nandroid + fixed sbf route, is there any way for me to get back stock 2.2.2 froyo for warranty purposes. Some people advised me that I should directly flash CM7 and then for warranty purposes just flash Full SBF of SEA 2.2.2 Froyo.
I am only asking because I read somewhere that the 2.3.4 Roms are non-down-gradable. Or is it only ROMS like leaked motoginger that are non downgradable.
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.
downgrade
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
