[Q] Looking for sbf 3.4.2-179-2 GB

[zorofroozo]

Hello,

I got my Defy a few weeks ago and was looking to run CM on it. But I want to be sure to be able to return to stock froyo.

I have wiped my phone and made a nandroid backup but I read in the 'CM FAQ' I'd still need a fixed sbf if I want to return my phone back to stock. I've been googling for a few hours but can't seem to understand how to create a sbf file for my phone. And the sbf I need doesn't seem to be available on the forum.

Can you guys help me or point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot

Tthe specifics are:

systemversion: Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB

Android-version: 2.2.2

Basebandversion: EPU93_U_00.59.01

Build-number: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_179-2

 

[zorofroozo]

Can someone answer my question?

Usually you can find all sbfs at and-developersdotcom/sbf:defy

while it is U3_3.4.2_179-2, it is not called "JOREM", instead it is the "JRDNEM" version. And an USA version at that. Intresting, when searching for these words the search comes up empty. Probably filtered because it whould give to many hits, sadly I don't know what it means now... any pointers? We are certain this version will get me back to a stock motorola defy which I could bring back to the shop for repair?

Taking this in consideration I believe I need to backup my baseband, on the other hand, cm7 has a lot of them preinstalled, i suppose the uk baseband should work in Belgium considering this post. To be certain I send a pm with a backup of my baseband to Sqoerk, the translator of the "basebandswitcher".

Hi,
I also need this sbf, it would be great if someone could share it!

OK, I'll try to clarify this for you but your question is not clear.

IF you have Froyo already and it is your stock rom, you will not need a fixed sbf to keep your "downgradability" if you choose to try CM7. But careful if you decide to try the leaked GB rom or any other newer 2.2 sbf (like the nordic one recommended for CM7).

In fact, I would suggest you to try CM7 (RC1v2) over your stock Froyo first: don't bother flashing nordic sbf.

If your stock sbf is eclair or if you want to try leaked GB, then yes you will need to find a fixed sbf first.

Follow the CM7 FAQ starting at root, reboot, install sndInit v1.4.2 (and don't forget to turn off usb debugging before tje 2 reboots), wipe and factory reset (IN CUSTOM RECOVERY) and finally install cm7 and google apps from there too.

I'm sure that you will find a working baseband in CM7; no need to copy anything in this regard. But setting 'Defy Baseband Switcher' IS the first thing to do after installation. If you don't battery wont last, hot phone and bad or no signal reception...

Hello zorofroozo,
I want to start using CM 7, but before doing that I need to find the original stock rom.
I also have a Defy with same version details as the one you have.

Were you able to find/download the stock rom?

systemversion: Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Android-version: 2.2.2
Basebandversion: EPU93_U_00.59.01
Build-number: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_179-2

Thanks

 

[rogier666]

Does anyone know another place to download this ROM, or can anyone upload it somewhere? Thanx!

Multiupload is dead and and-developers.com doesn't have it.

Here is a rom with these specifics 3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR (Western Europe Delblur)

systemversion: Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB

Is there any chance you can host your nandroid. I will wipe data/cache before boot its just i need retail gb 2.2.2 nandroid+fixed sbd i made a post in q&a about a week ago

Sent from my MB526 using XDA

 

[rogier666]

Hi Hso3f, your link points to a deblurred Western Europe ROM, which can result in an unpleasant and expensive surprise if the Motorola repair guy looks too close at the small print. It's not the same as Blur_Version_34.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB. It looks like this SBF is totally gone from the web.

 

[Hso3f]

Hi Rogier,

yes my link 3.4.2-179-2 GB points to the official Benelux 2.2.2 deblurred rom (Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB), like asked in the op.
See here:Moto_Version_34.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB

The specifics are:

systemversion: [B]Moto[/B]_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.[B]GB[/B]

Android-version: 2.2.2

Basebandversion: EPU93_U_00.59.01

Build-number: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_179-2

Edit:
It's strange, no release note in your link
If i change selection and reselect MOTODEFY Retail UK it gives me this: Blur_Version_34.177.3.MB525.Retail.GB

 

[rogier666]

Hi Rogier,
yes my link points to the official Benelux 2.2.2 deblurred rom

Looks like you're mixing up some ROMs. The OP did not ask for a deblurred Benelux ROM, but for the blurred GB ROM, i.e. the retail ROM for the British market.

You're linking to a ROM called JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_UCAJRDNFRYORTCOREEU_P023_A008_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf, which is meant for the other half of Europe. There are a lot of different ROMs that share the number 34.179.2. GB, COREEU, CEE, DACH, ...

"Core EU" is not "GB." The retail GB version has a completely different set of languages, and it's definitely not deblurred.

So the search for the real 4.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB with Blur isn't over yet.

Edit:
It's strange, no release note in your link

Maintaining websites and keeping links alive is not Motorola's strongest point. Motorola.com is full of dead ends.

 

[Hso3f]

The OP did not ask for a deblurred Benelux ROM, but for the blurred GB ROM, i.e. the retail ROM for the British market.

Where do you see he asked for blurred rom? You came up with this because you saw gb in systemversion.

Looking at post 5 of this thread and pm that i had with him i'm pretty sure that he is from Belgium:

...believe I need to backup my baseband, on the other hand, cm7 has a lot of them preinstalled, i suppose the uk baseband should work in Belgium...

You're linking to a ROM called JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_UCAJRDNFRYORTCOREEU_P023_A008_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf...

"Core EU" is not "GB." The retail GB version has a completely different set of languages, and it's definitely not deblurred.

The system info that OP ask:

systemversion: Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Android-version: 2.2.2
Basebandversion: EPU93_U_00.59.01
Build-number: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_179-2

The rom that i link:

systemversion: Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Android-version: 2.2.2
Basebandversion: EPU93_U_00.59.01
Build-number: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_179-2
BPflex version: UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R
APflex version: GAS_EMEA_UCAJRDNFRYORTCOREEU_P023

Not the same rom???
You can see "Moto_Version" and not "Blur_version" if it was a blurred rom systemversion would be Blur_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB, isn't it?
I don't know why motorola left "en.GB" in system version of it, but it's like that. So, This rom that I've linked is the Benelux, western Europe, COREEU, call it what you want, rom. I know that, i'm not mixing anything. This is the same rom i had by msu here in Belgium.

So the search for the real 34.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB with Blur isn't over yet.

Good luck.

Moto_Version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.CEE is Retail Central Europe and deblurred
Moto_Version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB is Retail Western Europe and deblurred
There is also a turkish 3.4.2-179-2 also deblurred.
No trace of a Blur_Version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB

Official uk 2.2.2 blurred rom is, i think: Blur_Version_34.177.3.MB525.Retail.GB

Maintaining websites and keeping links alive is not Motorola's strongest point. Motorola.com is full of dead ends.

Especially modified link. Look I've find an awesome official rom here
But, no release note again...
but like you say Maintaining websites and keeping links alive is not Motorola's strongest point....

Edit:
But maybe we can ask to zorofroozo what he was looking for, to clear the situation...

 

[rogier666]

Where do you see he asked for blurred rom? You came up with this because you saw gb in systemversion.

There are no official deblurred ROMs for the GB retail market. Motorola deblurred a bunch of ROMs for central and eastern europe, but not for the british from GB.

if it was a blurred rom systemversion would be Blur_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB

There are plenty of official blurred Motorola ROMs that don't have the word "Blur" in the system version. Motorola not only sucks at keeping links on their site alive. Consistent naming of their ROMs is not their strong point either. And neither is providing timely Android updates or keeping their firmware up to date when they relaunch the same phone with a new battery and the word "plus" tacked on.

This is the same rom i had by msu here in Belgium.

The country in which you run MSU doesn't matter. The ROM you get from MSU is determined by the current system version of your phone, not by your location.

By the way, did you notice this discrepancy:

See here:Moto_Version_34.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB

The blue text may say "Retail.GB" but the link points to a URL that doesn't have the letters "GB" in it, and neither does the pdf on the linked page. Instead, the pdf states that the ROM is for benelux, eastern europe, greece, poland and turkey. Not for Great Britain.

The 34.179.2.MB525.Retail.GB ROM that I got from MSU has german, spanish, french, italian, dutch, and portuguese as available languages. And english of course, but so does every other Motorola ROM.

No trace of a Blur_Version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB

Official uk 2.2.2 blurred rom is, i think: Blur_Version_34.177.3.MB525.Retail.GB

Official UK 2.2.2 blurred ROM was 34.179.2 when Motorola first released it last summer. I still have the Nandroid I made after installing the official blurred Froyo update with MSU. If I could turn that Nandroid into an SBF the OP would have the ROM he's after.

34.179.2 is older than the 34.177.3 ROM, but both are official blurred GB ROMs.

Some differences between 34.177.3 Retail.GB and 34.179.2 Retail.GB:
- 179 doesn't have the extra bloatware (social messaging/networking/sharing/status, cardio trainer, amazon mp3 search) of 177;
- Swype 2.25.67.18335 in 179, Swype 2.25.67.18418 in 177;
- the boot animation pulsates in 177 but not in 179;
- the accounts app is called "accounts" in 177 but "my accounts" in 179, the 179 icon doesn't have the Motorola branding that the 177 icon has;
- the gallery in 179 doesn't have the quick upload button of the 177 gallery.

The blurred 34.179.2 Retail.GB was quickly replaced by 34.177.3, which is why the original SBF is so damn hard to find.

There are no official deblurred ROMs for the GB retail market. Motorola deblurred a bunch of ROMs for central and eastern europe, but not for the british from GB.

That you don't want to understand is moto devs have left en.GB in system version of werstern Europe deblurred rom... so in this case, en.GB doesn't necessarily mean UK with blur but also Western Europe without blur...

183.0 MiB 678C5C876606F31C970C245603F0BD04 Retail Western Europe JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_UCAJRDNFRYORTCOREEU_P023_A008_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz

That's the rom that i've linked, with the system info that i've posted, from droid-developers and i have also the nandroid of it (instaled in belgium, on a phone buyed in an shop in belgium, and msu was showing me provider:benelux, just to clarify) to compare...(exactly the same, it says COREEU in the file name, but have en.GB in system version, also JRDNEM in the name, but JOREM in built number.)

So my rom is not that you're looking for... ok, but what makes you say that my rom is not that isn't what zrorofroozo looking for? en.GB in system version? All system info are the same...

Also, you have a nandroid of your rom, you have a link for a most recent official rom for your region, what do you need more?

So I repeat this Sbf has these specifics in phone info:

systemversion: Moto_version.34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.GB

Android-version: 2.2.2

Basebandversion: EPU93_U_00.59.01

Build-number: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_179-2

And it's the Western Europe deblurred rom.

 

[rogier666]

The OP didn't mention "deblurred" or "western europe" anywhere in his post. There's nothing in the OP that indicates he's looking for anything other than original retail.GB.

Also, you have a nandroid of your rom, you have a link for a most recent official rom for your region, what do you need more?

The SBF with the ROM that I got from MSU.

A Nandroid doesn't restore the warranty of your Defy. You need to flash an official stock SBF to remove all traces of 2nd init, because 2nd init doesn't clean up properly after itself.

Flashing the most recent SBF doesn't always cut it either, because MSU doesn't always deliver the most recent ROM. If you run 179.2 MSU won't update it to 177.3, even though 177 is newer than 179.

 

[Hso3f]

Ay don ! Qu' t' ès hayåve !

trad: You are boring me!

...There's nothing in the OP that indicates he's looking for anything other than original retail.gb...

The Op disdn't mention Blurred or UK neither.
Again, you know that by the specifics that he's posted, and specifics is the same. You decided that "system version: *retail.en.GB" means UK blurred rom... but it's not true...

It's not a uk blur rom, I know that!
It's not the rom that you're looking after, i know that!
But it respect all the system info the op post!
So maybe it's the good, maybe not!
As I say before retail.en.GB can be your uk blurred rom, or also western Europe deblurred rom.
The two are original sbf with these system version.
If someone looking after western Europe deblur it's the good one, otherwise it isn't.

Now stop this sterile discussion.

Edit: I've editing the post with the link for more clarity.

Hi...

You have also here some ROMS.
