Doomed Dify+ with stock ootloader???

[DEFIER]

Hi Guys,

Since I cannot yet post at Home > Motorola Defy > Defy Android Development > [JB] CM10 Android 4.1.1 for the Defy(+) i am posting here.

I was running CM9 on my Defy+.

I tried to upgrade to the 0828 JB for Defy+ and ended up with

Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,00,00,23

Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable

How? I can't remember.

but every time i use the bootloader and try to load the JB file it says \:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature

So by my understanding i need a custom bootloader as before. (i can't really remember how i loaded the ICS).

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards.

You need to flash a full sbf now to get it back up and running. Have you ever done that?

This bootloader error is a result of flashing the wrong version, are you sure your phone is a DEFY+ and that you flashed the DEFY+ version?

Anyway, just tell us if it's DEFY+ (MB526) or DEFY (MB525) and we will tell what you need to flash to get it back up and running. I hope you do remember that

Its a defy+ . I downloaded the required sbf but no idea on how to install.

I got as far as Android System recovery (3e) but under apply update from sd card i can't see the .sbf file!!!

help help help !!!!

CHARGE PHONE BATTERY ABOVE 80% BEFORE PROCEEDING......


Requirements

• Get the SBF you want to flash
  - Full SBF: No Nandroid backup needed, always keep CG versioning in mind.
  - Fixed SBF: You might need a matching Nandroid Backup.
• Get and Install RSD Lite v4.9: There are reports of other versions working, but this one is what I have used.
• Get and Install Motorola Drivers [32bits] [64bits]

Now to Business:

To Flash full SBFs, here is the standard procedure:

1. Open RSD Lite: Click on [ … ] Button and select your .SBF (Remember to rename to a short name and put it on root of your PC) and click Open.
2. Boot your phone into Bootloader Mode (check last section if you don’t know how to do it).
3. Now connect your Defy to your PC
4. The START button on RSD Lite should be available now, click and wait.

How do I enter Recovery Mode?!: With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear, if you are on Éclair the menu should appear without having to press anything.

How do I enter Bootloader Mode: With the Phone off press VOLUME UP, then while still pressed power up the phone. Keep the Vol key pressed until a black screen with some white letters appear. This is the Bootloader.

After Upgrading to Froyo my Defy is laggy, slow or reboots: (!) This is a common issue when coming from Eclair to Froyo. If this happens to you, just do a full wipe (Delete Data/Delete Cache on Stock Recovery), after that your phone should work correctly.

Need - MB526 SBF - Asia Retail 1321 Multilanugage 3.2.6 - Not China!!

Thanks so much.

It worked so far as the loading of SBF is concerned (RSD Lite v5.7 - used it last time , had forgotten)

Only, now the phone will not boot. The screen remains blank/black (not a flicker). Connecting to the USB powers on the White LED. thats all.
Thankfully RSD detects the device still.

The sbf I used was:
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-1321_CN_SIGN_SIGNED_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P014_A026_HWp3_Service1FF

@ http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php

I need the GB 1321 Asia Retail MultiLanguage Version (2.3.6) . (I had this when I moved over to CM9)
The one mentioned above is Chinese I guess. Tried twice with it but no luck
Any possibility of getting the right one? or some SBF that will work??

Pleaseee

tried many SBFs for DEFY+. All end up with a pitch black screen . Power button does not seem to boot Android.
The power button works though as while being connected to USB and White LED on, pressing Power button disconnects the device from RSD Lite.

I am at my wits end. is my Device Bricked for all times?

Quick recap on how I reached this point.

1. Rooted the Defy+ (2.3.6 Asia Retail Multi Language)
2. Installed CM9 (was on ICS for two months)
3. in boot loader installed JB (0828). Before that the Kernel link provided alongside on CM10 instructions. Wiped cache/Dalvik.
got this:

Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,00,00,23

Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable

​

4) I did something further like a factory reset (cant remember )
5) Since then the bootloader gives me : Android System recovery (3e) not the other bootloader.
6) Flashed SBFs to try get the GB up and running atleast. End up with no show on the screen.
(though the "SW Updating.." prompt comes thru RSD Liet on the defy screen, so the display is working)

Can even find the right SBF now.. please help. Am desperate for now.. no other handset

If you're able to enter android stock recovery , do a full wipe/factory reset and reboot your phone...after flashing an sbf thru rsd lite

I had the same problem, I followed this post:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956

I flashed this sbf first:

DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf

And after this rooted sbf:

4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_Rooted_SBF

Good luck!
