Sbf

Hi all,
I "m new user. I 've got my defy last month with 2. 51 french Sbf. Now i 'm on pays 5.1 ( sbf 3.4.3_11).
Can i try another rom for example with another sbf 3.2.xxx always in froyo or it is not possible to downgrade ?
I saw in forum that's possible but with flashing sbf boot only
Now i'm so confused, what can i do and what can't i do ?
Many help are welcome ! !
Sorry for my bad english

If i am not wrong. We can flash nandroid backup and flash fixed sbf can possible to downgrade

As I know - you can't downgrade or even change to another Froyo this FW.

If something was wrong, can i return to my default 2. 51. xx sbf. This sbf comes with phone when i buy it.

I'm sure not, but you can reflesh on 4.3.3-11 as many as you want. Anyway - don'w worry about it, cause this FW is better, than your stock.

rom info

Hi,
My Defy has this rom:
3.4.2-145 Finnland Deblur
i want get the official update, so i read the guide " GUIDE to get the official US T Mobile OTA".
my question is: from my ROM i can go to the JORDN_U3_6.36.0? i can flash it by RSDlite?
very thanks

Im guessing your question relates to the downgradablilty issue, if so, you should be able to flash it without a problem

I'm using jordan bord:jrdnem_u3_2.54.0
and i don't think the version that u have mentioned going to have lots of different with one that u have already.!!!!!!!!!!

Well that's not a downgrade so it should work fine

I dont think hes talking of a port instead the leaked stock 2.3.3 for MB526

Look at the post, he clearly says he updated it in the past... Mb 526 is not even mentioned once in his question.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

the leaked roms have been around for one or two months now, so doesnt that count as 'past'? and cm7/miui are both 2.3.4/2.3.5, not 2.3.3... oh, and why are you so sure hes a he and not a she?

He hasn't mentioned of a port either, Anyways apart from our personal conflicts the user still needs to specify whether he has flashed a full or a fixed sbf.

he can get back to froyo with a nandroid,even if he flashed a full sbf, right?
sent from my cm7 defy...

Thats right but that is eligible only once the device is rooted. Has he flashed a full SBF , I dont think there is yet a method to root the 2.3.3 stock rom or so I read the last time I bumped into the Development forum.

The answer to this is on my Beginner's Guide, last part on Common Problems
Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom
It's possible to fix the mess

Do need to flash fixed SBF for ms2 ginger

I recently download MS2ginger1.1 (walter97) and installed with fixed sbf 109(kernel).
but i found another fixed sbf (fixed_sbf_newleak.sbf) in downloaded package.
Should i need to flash this SBF also or only 109 sbf need to flash ?
Please suggest me.
Regards,
Abhijit

Same question.
And if we came from froyo to ms2ginger and want to go back, can we flash full sbf of that froyo?!

No you don't need to flash another fixed sbf.
Yes you can flash full SBF froyo to downgrade.

Question about SBFs

I've had the defy for more than a year, but stopped using it a long time ago. I found it in my drawer and decided to get flashing. So, my question is, if I use a gingerbread(2.3.4 not 2.3.6) SBF, and I flash a rom, say jellybean on that, what would be the difference as compared to a froyo sbf? Will the rom flashed on top of the gingerbread sbf work better?

Yes, I do know that. That's why I said I'm going to use the 2.3.4 sbf not 2.3.6. My question basically was, will there be any noticeable difference GB SBF vs Froyo SBF, since I'm going to flash a custom rom on it? Also, red lens.

Nope, I'm using a froyo sbf but I'm running Epsylon3's latest jellybean build. Also, there's nothing related to sbfs in your sig.

I dont think you will notice any mammoth difference! Once you put on a GB kernel its better if you use Quarx Defy+ builds with Defy battery fix...
Ya one main diff is one extra vsel.. GB kernel got 4vsels
BTW nice to see you from motoroladefy.com .. Got lot of help from you there when I was new to all these!

I wanted to ask if there's any performance difference Froyo vs Gingerbread SBFS if you're using the same rom, say Quarx's jb, on them.
EDIT: Thanks for the answer, pranks89. Guess it definitely is worth a try then. Also, I acquired a HD2 so I kind of stopped using my Defy. I was going through the dev threads and an awesome jb rom was enough to convince me to give it a second chance. Good to see you here too!

whay dont you say that?
this is my opinion http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29317445&postcount=19
but is about kernels froyo vs GB

There will be no difference if u flash jellybean over froyo or gingerbread sbfs
Its the same
The performance changes with kernels
So if u have a bayer lens defy (not +) MB525, i recommend u to flash an froyo sbf, Flash gb kernel, use defy + jb builds by quarx with defy battery fix
