HOW TO UPGRADE WITH FULL SBF FILE
__________________________________________________

1. Download FULL SBF, Install USB Driver and RSD Lite
- USB Driver for Windows 32 bit, for 64 bit.
- RSD Lite 4.9

2. Create a Backup:
- Create backup of sms, apps+settings, etc, so it can be restored on this new official Froyo

3. Erase Data and Cache [MUST DO! SERIOUSLY, YOU MUST DO THIS!]
- Turn of your phone,
- Press and hold Power+Vol.down until android logo appears

- If you previously on other Froyo build, press Vol.up+Vol.Down simultaneously to get the menu
- Navigation button: Vol.up and Vol.down | Action button: Eclair, use the touchscreen. For Froyo, use power button.
- Do Wipe Data, wait until it's done
- Then Do Wipe Cache, wait until it's done
- Choose Reboot system, BUT IMMEDIATELY JUST AFTER YOU choose reboot, press and HOLD Vol.Up for 5 seconds and release
- You are now on bootloader

4. Flashing the SBF File to Your Device:
- Open RSD Lite 4.9 from your computer desktop shortcut, then click browse button [...] to open the SBF file
downloaded files usually is .7z or .rar, PLEASE extract it first to open
if your computer can't open SBF files, try to shorten the SBF filename, and don't put it on folder, try put it on outside like D:\ or E:\
- Connect USB cable to your device, if it's the first time to flash SBF file, WAIT untill all the drivers properly configured
- In RSD Lite 4.9 window will recognize your device, it will says connected. If don't, try to pull cable and plug it again until it's connected.
- Click Start button, wait the process, it takes 7-10 minutes
- When all is done and ready, RSD Lite status will shows "Finished" and Result="PASS"
- You are on official South East Asia Froyo 2.2.2!!

ENJOY your new MOTODEFY.
Your DEFY deserve Froyo, even Gingerbread

2. boot in download mode or what ever its called.. (vol up+power)
3. open RSD lite 4.9, choose downloaded SEA ROM above.. and press start.
4. go make some coffee and some cookies..

still dillema between miui and cm7 LOL
love the eye candy of MIUI....CM7 smoothness...
let me test kao kao miui these few days only decide

i suggest you use your phone for a while first until you comfortable then only flash. dont flash when you are not ready. really a lot of headache when something go wrong...

lol, mine not even hours straight to miui..
but i do read first on the instruction before confident to flash..
im not even try the motoblur..

I went with the gingerbread motoblur because the interface looked fantastic, as can be seen in the screenshots in a few earlier posts. Also, you can locate, remote lock, and remote wipe your device from any PC if it gets stolen.
