Proper flashes include rom for UK, France, Central Europe and China (If your set comes with build number 2.51, you can only flash to UK for now). The instructions for flashing as followed :
1) Search somewhere along the lines of "RSDLite - download here"
2) Install it.
3) Go to http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
4) Download the Full Flash rom, the one where the provider is "UK"
5) Unzip that file, you now have a .sbf folder (not file)
6) Put that .sbf folder in C:\Users\Admin\My Documents
7) Shut down phone
8) Hold Power + Volume UP buttons at once for few seconds
9) Phone is now in bootloader mode (screen looks like a command prompt)
10) Release the buttons, and plug USB to computer and phone
11) Open RSD Lite, your phone should be detected as connected (Device name was like "S OMAP 3630" or some BS like that)
12) Click "..." to browse for the .sbf file in C:\Users\Admin\My Documents
13) In RSD Lite, click to highlight your connected DEFY, and then click "Start". The first column beside the connected phone should now have a green icon thing, and the ROM is being flashed.
14) DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE, THE CABLE, OR THE COMPUTER! (I went and took a dump)
15) When the "Status" column in RSD Lite says "Please manually power up this phone", so shut it down and power it again. Note: The status stays in "Checksum Group 37" for a verrrrryyyy long time before saying "Rebooting". I thought it got stuck there, but it ended up ok.
16) Your DEFY is now reflashed to stock with motoblur.
17) You can now close RSD Lite. It will complain saying you will damage the attached device, but I pulled it out wayyyy before this (I unhooked it when it told me to reboot manually) and my DEFY is not dead. You may choose to close RSD Lite before unhooking your DEFY.
18) Post your results in this thread and confirm or reject my procedure. *Quote from xda-developer forum*

P/s : Above instruction is for UK. You can only flash to this rom for now since build 2.51 can't downgrade

Your DEFY deserve Froyo, even Gingerbread

SuperOneClick for Defy -ROOT

Original Info Refer Here.

This is for those that screwed up on their attempt of using nandroid backup to flash to Froyo, and instead used the full flash sbf of Froyo rom which is undowngradeable. Fear not, as this fixed SBF made by me is for the 2.51 SEA stock rom.

Steps to revert back to your stock rom of 2.51 SEA rom provided you've made a nandroid backup of it

1. Assuming you are on any of the Froyo full flash sbf now, do the steps for 'root the phone', and 'install custom recovery'
2. Put your nandroid backup of 2.51 SEA rom in sdcard/goapkrev/backup ( if you cannot find the folder, create one)
3. Get into custom recovery mode, wipe data and factory reset
4. Restore the backup
4. Reboot and wait until the restore completed (It may take a while)
5. Once its done, restart the phone and get into bootloader mode
6. Flash this FIXED SBF using RSD Lite
7. Again, wait for the flashing to complete (I went to take a dump)
8. Reboot for the last time and walla, back to the past

P/S : Nandroid backup for 2.51 SEA rom coming soon

* Remember to do a wipe data and dalvik cache before and after restore to any of these roms *

Motorola Defy has an IP67 certified protection. What does it means you may ask? IP stands for Ingress Protection (not the kungfu guy in IP Man ). The first letter '6' indicate that it is totally protected against dust. The second letter '7' indicate that it is protected against the effect of immersion between 15cm and 1m. Motorola has stated that it can withstand the pressure of being underwater as deep as 1m at a maximum time of 30 minutes. If you curious about what other numbers stands for, feel free to have a look at this website

For those that flashed your firmware to other sbf or custom roms, you may need to add your apn manually. Fortunately, I have made a universal master apns which can detect any telcos all over the world However, you will need to root your device in order to do this.

Step 1 : Download this master-apn HERE
Step 2 : Put it in the root of your sdcard. Now install Root Explorer
Step 3 : In the Root Explorer navigate to your sdcard and find the apns-conf.xml, copy it
Step 4 : Now go to /system/etc. Click R/W to R/O on the top right corner and paste your apns-conf.xml and replace the current one
Step 5 : Go to setting - Wireless and networks - Mobile networks - Access point names
Step 6 : Click menu button and click Reset to defaults. Wait for it to apply your settings automatically and you are done

1. call *#*#4636#*#*-->select phone information-->press menu(the 1st touch key at the bottom)-->select more-->disable/enable data connection.

2. use app/widget that change the APN name.

3. use switcher pro to turn on/off.

Recovery mode
Turn Off Phone Press Power Key + Volume down To Power On The Phone And Bring Up The Recovery Screen. Now press around the edge of buttom right corner of the screen to enter the recovery menu

Bootloader mode
Turn off Phone Press Power key + Volume up
Alternate way : Use application available from the market such as Quick Boot

Steps to CM7:

1) Steps

A) What SBF version to use when flashing CM7?
- I'm using 3.4.2-177 Nordic, Quarx itself uses 3.4.3-11 UK, but you can use any Froyo leak of your choice. I really recommend one of these two.

B) How to install CM7 Beta 6?
- First flash any Froyo leak of your choice (see 1)
- Turn USB Debugging ON
- Root via SuperOneClick
- Reboot
- Install 2nd Init Recovery Installer 1.4(see 12)
- Turn USB Debugging OFF
- Reboot your device 2 times
- Copy CM7 Beta 6, Google Apps 2.3.4(market, gtalk, etc.) and FixBrightness.zip to your SD Card
- Reboot your device, when the blue led lights at Motorola logo, press Volume Down to enter Bootmenu
- Go to "Set Default Bootmode" then select [2ND-INIT]
- Go to "[Custom Recovery] start"
- Select "wipe cache partition" then "wipe data/factory reset"
- Select "install zip from sdcard", "choose zip from sdcard", then select "update-cm-7.1.0-jordan-beta6-signed"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "gapps-gb-20110503-signed.zip"
- Select "choose zip from sdcard", then select "FixBrightness.zip"
- Select "+++++Go Back++++++" then "reboot your system now"
Now wait and CM7 will be loaded.

For upgrade from previous CM7 or FAQ please refer to here.


IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use the normal Clockwork recovery anymore. Anytime you want to install any zip file or restore/backup, you MUST use 2int by following the steps above. If not you will get stuck in boot logo.


Features in CM7:

-A lot of customizable themes
-DSP Manager
-Customizable Lockscreen
-Customizable Camera Buttons
-Faster and smoother than 2.2 Froyo
-Improved 3D performance

New boot animation - 73v1n - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYXiKWwp0DQ

Beta 3, 4 Tested & Recommend by theBigO

MotoCharge - Show you battery with 1% at status bar
FMRadio APK - This one from Droid2, can listen to FM with loudspeaker. Use only if no FM in your Defy.
LED Show - Let Defy display wording like LED board do. Awesome man

Also some recommended apps from Xda site.
