I recently installed the New Fission ROM for the DX and since I lost SU permissions and no matter how hard I try, I can't get it back,
I've decided to flash the SBF. I have the full 2.2 SBF and the system onlt SBF.
There's one problem, though. Anytime I go into the bootloader and open RSD lite 4.8, it'll say either Chipset 43 not supported (full sbf) or chipset 50 not supported (system only).
I'm on win7 64bit. I can't use the bootstrap because no su permissions so don't suggest that. Thanks ahead of time!

Hi, I recently tried flashing my defy (mb525 from Israel with an Israeli ROM) with Chinese Froyo, flashed the phone and it wouldn't boot, was like that for a while and I tried flashing many versions in hope it would unbrick him, no joy. Long story short now i have a Defy with 2.3.4 (shadow-128, not the fixed version, the undowngradeable version).
I thought maybe finally trying to restore a nandroid backup, but I don't have CWM.
Questions are:
Is there a way to install CWM through a zip file?
Can I restore a Nandroid backup without CWM (or any sort of custom recovery)?
Any other solution that can save my phone?
Thanks Y'all,
hope I will finally unbrick that bastard.
Read this for downgrade and root.

Didn't work, just like all ROMs before, it shows the moto logo, then shows, motoblur, or android or any other animation (depends on the version), and its stuck on that an not starting the phone.
if you now in 2.3.4, cannot downgrade.

it works!
Your device isn't bricked. You only have a bootloop.
Like already said, Downgrade is not possible so you should flash a ROM with your Bootloader-version and make a wipe.
So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
sorry for my little bad english.
I have a problem with Motorola Defy and custom rom ICS ( CM 9 rom ) upgrade. At first, I successfully upgrade it on my device, but I forget to put Battery fix, and my phone drained and couldn't even turn on, stuck in red M (motorola ) logo. I fixed it by putting back 2.2 froyo software with RSD Lite tool. After that, I tried once again put the ICS rom on my device and I do everything( flash .zip , flash kernel, install google apps and install battery fix, wipe data before update .zip, wipe cache and dalvik cache after install ) and every time it stuck in red M logo, and I need to do same procedure with RSD lite.
Do anyone know how can I fix that problem and put back ICS custom rom on my defy?
thank you very much

I could use some help. I have rooted my droid 2 global and i am trying to load a custom rom but when i do it fails every time, i am trying to load on cm7. i have android version 2.2 and system version 2.3.20.a955.verizon.en.us.
I have superuser and Droid 2 bootstrap installed. There is a system update but it will not install. I have looked though some threads and some say i have to upgrade versions so that i can down grade to 2.3 and then install custom rom but no one says how to do that.
If you are wanting to go to CM7, you definitely do not want to update the D2G to the latest update first. I haven't done anything with CM, so can't help you there, but if you update to the latest update for the D2G, you can never return to an earlier version.
You can safely go to the .608 update and then come back to Froyo, but not to the .629 (android 2.3.4). It can still be rooted and all, but you are stuck with roms compatible with that kernel.

You aren't using a DROID2 GLOBAL.
A955 is the DROID2, the regular CDMA-only model.
CM7 on the DROID2 is tailored for 2.3.x based kernels and needs 4.5.x firmware to run.
Do not update to 4.5.621; there was a 2.3.3 update for this device which you probably want to install.
To do that you need to either remove the logwrapper hijack or just flash the SBF image of the one featuring Android 2.3.3: 1FF-p2a_droid2_cdma_droid2-user-2.3.3-4.5.1_57_DR2-31-110719-release-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf.gz from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_droid2/list.php (do not use the 2.3.4 one).
Flashing an SBF image will not wipe your user data.
Once on Android 2.3.3, use Super One-Click Root Script or any other similar tool to gain root, rename the Blur Updater (see the DROID2 Global section at http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/Welcome — the files listed there should apply to your device as well), install Droid2 Bootstrap Recovery and update it using ROM Manager to the latest version (look here for instructions on updating: http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery). Make a Nandroid Backup using CWM, and you're all set.
Since my AT&T ICS 4.04(final update) Atrix 2 won't pass beyond the M logo (have been flashed like ten times), I need someones help.
I can't downgrade to GB because would brick the phone forever or upgrade to a newer version. Or flash a custom ROM because the phone is not rooted and doesn't have any custom recovery tool installed.
So, I was thinking, maybe if I could flash an already rooted system and a custom recovery using RSDLite, could boot into the custom recovery, install a custom ROM and see if I can fix my phone.
Or maybe flash(RSDLite) a backup(or only the files need for this purpose) made by any user of the forum.
Is that possible? Please help.

It would be better to ask all the questions in one thread itself, rather than making new ones each time for a newer question.
RSDLite can't flash files which aren't signed by Motorola, hence no pre-rooted or custom recovery installed ROM can be flashed this way, since they won't have Motorola signatures.
