Just my opinion.
Do not flash leaked froyo full sbf as you would loose the ability to downgrade to 2.5x (Although there is a workaround to downgrade).

Flash Nandroid backup is the safest way (the dev in xda is currently working on restoring nandroid without reboot at init2 level just like installing display driver without rebooting in linux).

For me also gone case. At that time I don't see any SEA sbf available at and-developers so I just full flash it.
Only then I know that these bootloaders has version 2 (2.21 & 2.34) , 3 (2.5x) & 4 (leak froyo)
Even the official korean froyo that I'm using now also version 2.

Now I'm experimenting to convert CG39.smg (extracted from sbf file) to nandroid system.img without installing to the phone first.
I'm trying to port official 2.59 back to my phone just to see whether it can be done.

If you don't flash full sbf you can downgrade then.
I believe the package prepared by the dev is downgradable as it only require to flash fixed sbf.

there is also another defy sd recovery can be downloaded from market. it is based on kb7sqi made by eugene

Beta1 already out for download

I'm using this gingerbread launcher for my CM7 defy.

On quadrant score, the guy who ported CM7 said it is not accurate for modded rom

stock Launcher2 also lag abit. To install this, copy the launcer2.apk to /system/app/ and change permission to rw-r-r. Then restart the phone.
Just found the workaround to remove lag on launcherpro ==> enable 3d appdrawer in setting.

Where did you get jboogie3 cm7 rom? cannot find in modmymobile.
at the moment I'm on beta3 cm7. launcherpro lag issue already gone

I think beta2 or beta3 cm7 is already good for everyday use.
only FM radio is still not functional at the moment

I feel my phone is cheap phone now. Can get free when buy xoom.

Try to wipe data and cache.

When I got stuck like, I just pull out the battery.
then while putting in back the battery, press vol down button so the phone will go to recovery mode.
press vol up + down simultaneously.
Then wipe everything you can from the menu

Always work for me.

downloading MIUI now.
in a few minutes, will boot into MIUI

For market you need to flash gapps using cwm

In xda they have published leaked gingerbread from motorola.

I suggest not to install yet as the camera do not work as reported in xda.
I have installed it myself and confirmed the camera just show black screen.

But this could be a good base for next beta/rc of CM7.

For me, I just adb push manually the files reside in /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ (then change the permission chown 644 all those files)
the files taken from SEA 2.59 sbf.
I believe that is what the baseband app do.

Official SEA update to froyo
