and repeating this message on every issue (‎@Motorola - How about those unlocked bootloaders you promised second half of 2011? @HTC cares, do you? i have my defy with locked boat loader2.3.6 and deprived from many features like camera ...try to solve this problem by unlocking ur boot loader or give us a tool ..i didn`t buy an expensive mobile phone to have it locked)

Why are all you so unsatisfied with it. I flashed full sbf DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-139 and did not regret. It is stable as froyo 2.2.2, battery last at least that long, it is rootable, everything is just good as it gets from stock ROM.

edit:
But I must say I did have some problems with first ROM I tried, retail dach DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125.

Why do you comment instead of taking a look at the other users (the majority of them) that have Defy with green lens? Here is XDA forum. There are talented guys that can make a better rom for Defy, better that the official one.

It's not only Defy...almost all Motorola devices are locked = no place for open and optimal developement.

downgradable for a defy 565

Unfortunately I flashed the sbf for defy+ with 2.4.6 on my normal defy 565. It offers me no provider and it can t find a network. Now I m stucked with this rom. Can´t go back to froyo but didn´t get this sbf to run.

Any idea what I could do? Is there at least a defy+ rom which will be better on my defy than 4.5.1-134_DFP-1321 ASIA RETAIL

Or is there some new development in downgrading?

huh, you did not flash europe version...

If I were you, I would do this:

I would download sbf for your (and mine)baseband. I recommend france retail because I am on it and I it is working very good for stock rom. link

But you wipe data first. Shut down. Hold volume down and press power. Screen will be dark but somehow on. Now press volume up and volume down simultaneously. Now you have menu. Wipe. --- Now you have to enter fastboot mode by pressing volume up and power button. Press volume up to get to the "reboot" in menu and press power... If that somehow too complicated, just take out battery, put it back and turn phone on by pressing volume up and power.
