[RESOLVED] Flashed the wrong SBF

[coacoapuffs]

Hi All,

I have a motorola green lens defy and stupid me flashed a DEFY PLUS SBF into it by accident. Now when I try to flash a known working regular defy SBF into it or any other regular defy SBFs, the screen just goes black and does nothing even though RSD lite detects it. When I flash the DEFY PLUS sbf back into it, the red moto logo shows up and then goes into the bookloader showing ERR: A5, 69, 35, 00, 27

The defy plus sbf is DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.rar

I am guessing that its probably permanently bricked since I used the wrong SBF.

Help would be appreciated.

Also wanted to mention that I can't get into CWM nor the screen with the triangle exclamation mark.

You are stuck with the Defy + SBF. That happened to me and I am still using my normal Green lens Defy with a Defy + BL7 SBF on it.
Try to flash a proper BL7 SBF, because you have no other choices. When you find the proper one (with root!!!), you will have to throw a 2ndInit on it and flash a JB or ICS based ROM, because of the camera issue.

Please update this thread with your success!

Thanks for your help! I did exxactly what you said and loaded in a BL7 SBF for Defy + and it came alive!

I used DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-2312.sbf.gz

So I guess my question now is how using a Defy+ sbf will affect the phone. Everything seems normal so far, even the camera works. Does it just clock the CPU to 1GHz which is really the only diff between the 2 phones?

You won't experience any differences except the Play Store will show your device as a Defy+ (MB526), which is not a problem. You are able to use your phone as it supposed to be, but you should install JUST 2NDBOOT ROMS!!! Otherwise your camera won't work, so you should use CM9, CM10, or CM10.1 both MIUI and "stock". This SBF will overclock your phone as it does with a Defy+, so your stock CPU frequency will be 1GHz. You can leave it stock or you can overclock and undervolt it for better battery life.
I hope I helped you .)

Yup! you definitely helped. Saved my life lol. I was this close to getting another phone.

After following your steps and got it running, I followed the link below to get the phone rooted. So now its all good. To bad I cant get back to GB. JB just runs too slow on my defy. Not as snappy as GB. Any who, I did thank your replies, hope it went through!

Because you have BL7 you are not really able to use CM7 builds, because most of them are not for 2ndBoot phones, EXCEPT MS2GINGER 5, which is for 2ndBoot phones with working camera and tweaked kernel, so it's fast. Give it a try!

Yeah, I did find the MS2SGINGER but I believe that one is still blur. I cant stand blur lol.

I am running CM10.1 nightly right now. Hangs up pretty frequently and have to remove battery to reset it.

The only other GB ROM I know that works is DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN and that's definitely blur.

I will give the CM10.1 a try for a week. I might have to switch to MS2SGINGER and just suck it up with the blur if the CM10.1 turned out unusable.

Not a whole lot of options I have here until 10.1 becomes stable

Ideally I would like MIUI 10.1. I really like the GB versions of MIUI but MIUI10.1 runs even slower than CM10.1

 

[coacoapuffs]

There's one crazy problem that I found with the CM10.1. When the Wifi is on on my Defy, it some how interferes with my computer's Wifi and causes my computer Wifi to not work at all. It was a bit frustrating so I ended up using 3G instead lol. I would report this problem but since I am new I can't post in the development forum.

 

[coacoapuffs]

Ok, CM10.1 ended up freezing up on me again and decided that I had enough of that lol. I did find out that installing a new launcher gets rid of the motoBlur headache from MS2GINGER, so now I got that going smoothly with ADW.

Thanks for your help ToMpI97. I think I am all set to go.

Try to install XPERIA D. You should try it. I am using it for 2 weeks and I'm totally satisfied with it. I think this is the best ROM I've ever had on my Defy.

flash the stock sbf using rsd lite software by entering into bootloader mode(vol + power button).read all in one defy guide for full flashing of sbf files

I will definitely try it out if I have to flash again. But I am happy with MS2GINGER right now. Snappy, no issues, very good battery usage.

I am going to try and not mess with the SBFs and new ROMs as much. flashing ROMs is how I got into this mess in the first place Lol. Every time I flash ROMs, something goes wrong and 30 hrs of my life would be gone trying to fix it. So I am done with it for now

That's probably because of the SBF. You can live with it, but you SHOULD INSTALL CM10 or CM10.1 based ROMs. These will solve your problems.:fingers-crossed:

Thinking about messing with my phone again. Is MSGINGER and XPERIA D still the only option right now for BL7 and 2ndboot?
