OK first i must apologize. I have a bad spelling but u will manage to understand.
First i`ve installed CM7 update throught 2ndinit. All ok, but i`m just not geting a WOOOW. Is ok but it has a lot of glitches. I`ve managed to customize my 2.2.2 to get high performance whitout any force close and got 1000MHz throught MilestoneOverclock. After that disspointment (just for me, i`m sure that those smart guys do the best they can but 2.2.2 is just enought for me) i`ve flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002...sbf directly whitout wipeing or anything that had to be done. After this it was stuck at android logo. Tried to hard reset was unable to do that. managed to enter clockworkmode but was unable 2 do anything. After searches on forum and other thing i`ve installed varios .sbf versions none worked. The last version i`ve instaled was JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF or JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf ofcourse the same thing happened, stucked at android logo after i`ve found a thread for recovery and i can`t remember which one but flashed Tmo_2.2.1-3.4.2-107-boot-devtree-ONLY.sbf . After that it started ok. I`ve used CEE sbf because that is my original stock rom or the same version showned on my phone before CM7 update. I`ve googled and saw that a lot of defy users have the same problem. I sure helped me so i just wish it would help you to. If that was usefull to you please hit the thanks button. Defy is a really good small priced smartphone.
I`ve used RSD 5.3.1 in bootloader Power Defy holding power btn and volume up btn.
Dono if it can help but i think that if ur phone has a functional bootloader and a 09.10 version it will surely do the job the easyest way. Goodluck
Bine Nepoate. M-a rezolvat bine si o sa stiu pe viitor. Ms oricum de completare

If you didn't flashed a Full Gingebread SBF (2.3.4) then you shouldn't ever flash the JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf because this Eclair SBF has two CG with code 5. This Eclair SBF is used to go back to Froyo after flashing a full SBF of leaked GB (see more details here), therefore if you never flashed a FULL GB SBF the best approach to revive your Defy is to do a full wipe from stock recovery and then flash the official Froyo SBF for your country/region.

+1 for nepotu...i just wanted to say that i had a scare like that to the first time i reverted back to the original firmware
just wipe the phone in stock recovery (data/cache) by holding vol down and power the little android guy will show up and then press both vol up and down at the same time
and then u can flash the sbf cee for romania
remember that first boot will take longer...but i guess u know that
