1. Restore to stock.
2. Place update.zip in root of sdcard
3. Boot into recovery
4. Apply update.zip
Please upload a Nandroid backup when you're done so that those of us who applied the leaked FroYo SBF can upgrade...
Thank you!

How would I go about uploading the nandroid? And do you mean factory reset or just load my first (stock) nandroid?
You have to load the stock Nandroid because the update looks for the T-Mobile bloatware and specific system strings before allowing the update.
To upload the Nandroid after you've updated, just zip up everything and upload them to any file sharing host like: Multiupload.com

I have a nandroid with all the stock bloat. 
first thing i did when i rooted it. So that back up should work?
Do i have to unzip the update? Or leave it zipped in the go.apk.rev folder in backups

Was the zip file named update.zip?
There's no reason why it shouldn't work. Unless you're not using a T-Mobile USA Defy...

^^^^ That did not work. got a no such file found and installation aborted.....
Yes, just restore that nandroid...
No need to unzip. Leave it as update.zip and don't put the it in any folder. Just transfer it to your sdcard...

BTW, what firmware is in your nandroid backup? For the update to work, you have to be on the last updated firmware which is: 3.6.360
It looks for that build version and won't continue the update if you haven't upgraded to that version yet...

sorry guys. been trying to update to froyo and get the nandroid up. been so busy with school and stuff. will try again tonight.
Lost APN connectivity after upgrade
This is great! I just bought the Defy a few days ago and noticed it had only 2.1 on it. As a recent convert from Sprint with an HTC Evo 4G - there was no way I was giving up Froyo and upgrading to this was a must for me.
So after upgrading and installing all of my apps again - everything is great! I do not have this phone rooted however and I upgraded it by placing the file (update.zip) in the base directory of my sd card and holding VOL DOWN + POWER with the phone off - Voila!
Oddly it seems, last night I was messing with personalization of this device and was getting issues with the Market app and 3G. I switched over to Wifi and had other issues with my access point so I again switched to another. After this was resolved, I continued using the Wifi and downloading additional apps.
Today I wake up and turn Wifi off and now I have no 3G or any network for that matter. I do have excellent signal strength. I have checked to ensure that I am not roaming and are using an automatic provider. I also tried manually selecting T-Mobile as the provider. I can make calls and Wifi works and syncs all data, including Exchange fine. After calling T-Mobile and speaking with general customer support and then tier two support - they were unable to resolve this and wanted me to fully reset the phone. Any ideas here anyone on what services and apps to check or clear data from? Any help would be greatly appreciated and I am sure others out there have ran into this.

Change battery mode from saver to performance. I realized during my long road trip yesterday that battery mode is playing none too nice with data. On performance it stays connected and works like it is suppose too. But yes I have noticed as well over the past few days that there are some issues now with 3G and wifi. When it works its great...when it doesn't work...nada.
Slight issue. Loaded fine, and ran through set up. I have several launchers installed, but "Home" is not selectable. I rebooted, and it again asks to choose a launcher, but the default "Home" is not there to pick. That's the one I want. I found it under applications, but I can't choose it to use when I press the home soft key. Can anyone help?

3Here you folks go. Off of my phone to you. http://www.multiupload.com/YOXKQ18YW0. You Must have 2.1 with the 3.6 Update. I would recommend making a backup before applying. Use at your own use. If you get a Status 7 error, see my thread in the General forum on how I resolved it. Have Fun!2
1. Place update.zip in root of sdcard
2. Boot into recovery by holding volume down button, and pressing power button
(you will get the '!' in a triangle with a little android guy)
3. Press the lower right corner of the screen to get to menu
(right above the soft key "search" button)
4. Apply update.zip by selecting that option
(it will take a while, so be patient)
5. Reboot phone when update complete
6. Enjoy FroYo1
the "official" 34.4.9 update.zip will ONLY install properly over 3.6.360
34.4.9 isn't quite official "yet" its a final version that was distributed to about 1,000 people for testing. So long as major bugs are not found it will probably be the exact same release as OFFICIAL. https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47028
I have been using it now after going thru about every custom rom out for the defy I just like it for some reason more! I have found no bugs so far except once when i took a picture it was saved as a solid colored square. But hasn't happened again.
I have never heard of milestone roms running properly on the defy? I have never flashed back (downgraded) from them so do at your own risk. The alternate methods work but for me I just wipe and RSD flash straight back to 3.6.360 and apply the official update, seems like a cleaner install to me. I play around with different roms and try to decide what I like about each one and I have done this process countless times downgrading (as of now) isn't an issue unless you are trying to go below 3.6.3601
