Did. You go to andy-developers site where they host all the sbf files? Download one loader from there flash it and see if it does your job. Make sure to flash corresponding sbf files. Hope this is of some use.

Could you post the web adress? Or did you mean the page where all defy rom sbf could find?
This links not have a bootloader version, only have different versions of sbf boot , no bootloader...
They keep renewing the page. Here is the previous version with bootloaders. Please try it out and let us know if there is a difference.

Did someone try flashing the bootloader and see if its possible to downgrade and upgrade?
EDIT: I just saw that the files are sbf files with 2.21 bootloader. Can anyone using 2.51 UK version flash this bootloader from Motorola and see if its possible for them to downgrade. If yes then all of us will be free to move to and fro various versions and can try out the new ROMs that are specifically for those on 2.51v.

I can`t test it. Can`t flash. Defy shows a ? if phone is of and phone will charge via USB.
Jep,
but with 2.51 rom i can`t use a system dump to build new rom. Works only with 2.21 and 2.34 rom.
U got to downgrade from 2.51 and able to flash any sfb?

Ok,
Maybe somebody could help that.
On 2.51. rom normal defy recovery is <2e>.
If i use a nandroid backup froyo. defy recovery is <3e>
Could it be that Motorola make some changes in recovery? 2e version blocks roms from other motrola phones.

Well, Walter if you know to make a backup of your bootloader and then load a custom bootloader you could try using the one released by them http://www.wix.com/palmercurling/project-bootloader-freedom
But if I were you then I would try some more combinations of flashing the 2.21 or 2.34 bootloaders and flash corresponding sbfs to see if it works.
Maybe no one did it well till now. Also see if you can get into stock recovery after you have flashed the 2.21/2.34 bootloaders.
