Im using cyanogen 6 RC2 and tried also RC1 and have major battery draining issues ive tried everything
At this point anyone know how I go back to the stock 2.1 EPE54B build (ATT 3G bands)?
Thanks for any assistance
your phone is rooted so all you need to do is look for a 2.1 Rom from your phone forum and then flash that Rom. This should take you back to 2.1
Also if you did a nandroid backup before you upgraded to 2.2 then you can boot into recovery and do a nanadroid restore to take you back to 2.1.
If you do not have a nanadroid back up then that is why we always advise to do a nanadroid backup before flashing any Roms....

I use titanium is that ok? Also do I need to flash the radio back to the older one or can I keep the froyo one?
EPE54B update zip should be ok from here right? Also if I do need to flash back the radio can I also use the files from here?

Ok titanium is ok, but before you flash back to 2.1 I would recommend a nandroid. A nandroid back up would restore your entire system/os just,in case u need to restore your system.
About the radio: you do not need to flash back the radio, this is not required.
Now you can use any of the stock 2.1 rom of your choice from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744605
What I would have not ks this:
1.Titanium back up
2. Nandriod back
3.wipe data, factory reset, etc
4. Flash 2.1 rom
Reboot and u are back to 2.1 stock
Remember do not flash back the radio

Sorry for all the questions but I know with CM you need to also install google add ons for the market and maps and such. Is that also the case with this? Or since they are stock they automatically come with it?
NP. Anything that's stock will be included in the rom. It may not be the latest version but you will have an option to update once you lunch the market.
Also u,are doing a titanium backup so anything that's missing you can get back. Once you flash back u,can,check,to see if you have those apps, if u don't then just install and run titanium backup. You can run a restore operation to get all missing apps +data.

Thanks. Too bad I can't find the manual stock 2.2 in order to install it and try. On 2.1 I would get the Ota update request but it would fail saying invalid signature. Think it's cause of my recovery image.
Went to CM V5.0.8 and havnt had an issue since so there is a bug somewhere in 6 since a few other people are having similar issues as well
Greetings,
I just bought and legally unlocked a Motorola Defy from Spain, and the carrier was Vodafone.
Checking the ROM in it, it says the following:
System version:
Blur_Version.2.51.1.MB525VF360Blur.Vodafone.en.ES
While the build number says:
JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1
So it's a 2.51.
What exactly does this mean?
I've searched the forum up and down and I still don't quite get it.
The only info I got was:

!!!!!!!!! Flash only if you come from a 2.21 or 2.34 rom "That is because it has version 2 for CG31 and CG39, if you are on stock 2.51 those versions are 3 and if you flashed leaked froyo those are 4 and you cannot flash any firmware with lower versions. if you are on 2.21 or 2.34 you can flash this, otherwise you will brick your phone. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I don't understand what this means. What's version 2 and 3? What's CG31 and CG39?
There's no official 2.2 Froyo update for my phone, and AFAIK there's no news saying when that may happen.
I don't want Blur (I want to be able to use stock Android widgets), and I don't want the Vodafone or any other operator's stuff.
I know there's no stock ROM without those things so I'll have to do with a modded ROM (I'm very compelled to getting this one).
I'd also like to have the oportunity to reflash the phone to its stock ROM, in case I need to send it to warranty.
I flashed my girlfriend's Milestone with the latest UK official ROM through RSD Lite (after the phone bricked when I used the official update procedure!), and it was a rather simple procedure.
So given that I have one of those "bad" 2.51 ROMs, what additional procedures do I need to make, besides the sbf flashing through RSD Lite?
don't worry mate.. i have 2.51 too.
where to start it..
um.. maybe this.
CMIIW.
SBF is just like RAR and ZIP, it is packaging file.
inside SBF there many files, two of those are CG31.SMG & CG39.SMG.
some newer release SBF (froyo) might have EARLIER "version" of CG31.SMG and CG39.SMG
than CG31.SMG and CG39.SMG on your phone (2.51).
which mean it can't be done to flash it (flash to earlier version).
as long as you not flashing CG31.SMG and CG39.SMG when you apply froyo (leaked or official) update. it's fine..
i think someone here (fritolays) found method to FIX the SBF to exclude CG31.SMG and CG39.SMG. name of that SBF is FIXED SBF.
so if you want to upgrade to froyo, do not flash FULL SBF.
but use clockwork recovery to wipe data and wipe cache, then apply the nandroid backup, then flash the FIXED SBF using RSD Lite 4.9.
----------------------------------------
my advice before you doing anything,
do a factory reset, get root, install custom recovery,
then just create a nandroid backup of your stock 2.51 with custom recovery,
and make sure you have a FULL SBF of 2.51 of your region, and you have FIXED SBF 2.51 of your region.
so if you want to go back to eclair stock:
-install custom recovery, go to custom recovery, wipe data and wipe cache,
-apply restore nandroid backup of your stock
-flash the FIXED SBF 2.51 of your region.
-----------------------------------------
Ok, I now have a nice brick, for the moment.
After rooting, installing the clockwork mod and backing up my original ROM, I flashed a "fixed" SBF from the 3.4.3-11 version.
After the flash, the phone just hangs in the motorola symbol on and off (by about 2 minutes).
I tried both this SBF:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12596803&postcount=845
and this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12357943&postcount=62
Both give me the same result: Motorola logo on and off, and no boot.
The bootloader is still accessible.
RSD Lite says to power up the phone manually, but it does so by itself.
Is there some hidden ritual that I don't know of? (like unplugging the USB at a certain time or pressing some buttons?)
Any suggestions?
I've seen this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12620475&postcount=7
But I don't even know if it's a fixed ROM or not.. should I try it?
Tried the following ROM with the same result:
3.4.2_155-Fixed.CEE_DEBLUR.sbf
I'm starting to get a bit preocupied here.
Help?
Try restoring a nandroid backup first, then right when you reboot go into stock recovery and flash the fixed sbf for that nandroid backup you installed and it should work fine. It sounds like you may have flashed a fixed sbf before you installed a nandroid backup. Hope this helps.

How can I restore the nandroid I did previously?
The clockwork restore boot has been uninstalled, and the restore boot I have right now only has "wipe data", "wipe cache" and "apply update.zip"..
As far I know, you can't enter custom recovery from a boot loop. I don't know if this is correct, but the only way i see to you is flash the full SBF of your stock rom, that you can find here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Tons of JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1, choose that best fits your phone and go. Next time, BEFORE flashing the fixed SBF, restore nandroid.

oh damn..
you just bricked your phone right...
the steps are wrong... the steps are:
root>install custom recovery>apply nandroid backup of froyo>reboot but immediately go to bootloader>flash fixed sbf of froyo.
you have to restore nandroid backup of froyo 3.4.3-11 first before you flash the fixed SBF of 3.4.3-11.
from your explanation,
you create backup of your 2.51 then flash the fixed sbf of 3.4.3-11?
if it is true, the ROM is still eclair 2.51 and you install the 3.4.3-11 firmware,
i think that's the problem.
you should restore nandroid backup of froyo 3.4.3-11 first before you flash the fixed sbf of 3.4.3-11.
after that, you follow what pays thread says to do to install his rom.
just because your defy cannot be started,
what you can do now is just flash your phone back to eclair 2.51 first with full SBF, not fixed.
the condition now is you have FIXED firmware of 3.4.3-11, but with 2.51 ROM inside.
just because it is fixed, you still have a chance going back to eclair 2.51
search Full SBF Eclair 2.51 of your region, and flash it with RSD Lite.
hope and make sure your battery is full enough to flash the full SBF, maybe 60-80% is enough.
because with that condition, i think the battery is not charging, even you charge it.
after everything is back to normal (eclair 2.51)
then if you still want to use pays, follow this method
-root
-install custom recovery, reboot to custom recovery
-restore nandroid backup of froyo 3.4.3-11 (if you can't find it pm me)
-immediately flash fixed sbf of froyo 3.4.3-11
-now your phone should froyo 3.4.3-11
-install pays rom with custom recovery
I flashed this sbf and I now have a working phone with a 3.4.2-155 firmware. Phew...
So I should have "restored the nandroid backup of 3.4.3-11" while still having the 2.51 firmware and only then I should have flashed the fixed firmware?
Sorry, this is really confusing for me.
With this 3.4.2-155 firmware, can I still do that procedure to get the pays rom?

oh no...
you flash the FULL SBF of 3.4.2-155??
you should flash FULL SBF of 2.51...
i think you lost your downgradeability now...
but you still can use pays,
just follow like pays thread says.
just because you lost your downgradeability,
you shouldn't even care to flash the full SBF 3.4.3-11 now..
(you don't have to use any nandroid backup now to upgrade to newer build)

yea, you should do that...
while still having 2.51 firmware,
you should restore the nandroid backup of 3.4.3-11 first,
and then you flash the fixed sbf of 3.4.3-11.
Now you are +1 that can't go back to 2.1 \o/ (like me kkkk)
If you have flashed the full SBF from 2.51.1 you could still have a chance.
And yes, you can go to any ROM that is 2.2 now, test Pays, LiquidArc and BluelessGinger from JBoogie3 and Barebones from Fritolays(my favourite). Don't worry about nandroid backups anymore, just do the full SBF when you install a new ROM (it's what I do).
But as soon as the Spanish Vodafone release a Froyo ROM, I should be able to flash to that and still get the warranty if I need to, right?
Truth be told, I would never want to go back to 2.1, except for warranty procedures.
The problem is that, only if you can find a SBF from Vodafone ES you will have your warranty. And this is just a possibility, since this SBF was not released yet. Good luck for you (and for me, since I'm in the same situation, heheheh)

as long as the official spanish vodafone SBF have the latest version of CG31.SMG and CG39.SMG inside (newer than CG31.SMG and CG39.SMG inside 3.4.3-11), it should be fine..
otherwise there's workaround though.
if just in case the CG31 and CG39 are in lower version,
you should restore nandroid of official froyo spanish (when it released)
then you flash the fixed sbf of that release.
i am sorry for your lost...
but you can still go back to 2.51 though..
but not in proper "real eclair 2.51"
i will post this method if you ask.
Helps to read all the threads on the process as there are many. Now the problem lies your on froyo and can't get back to eclair if you need to send it in for repair. The main thing tho is your back up and running.

So I want to flash back to a rooted Rom. Is this possible after the new update from LG has been applied?
Yes. You'll keep the new baseband version too.
Just to make sure I'm understanding correctly, are you saying that the steps I could do from a currently rooted CM7 phone:
1. Nandroid restore to original
2. Run LG update
3. Install NVFlasher/CWM
4. Restore Current Nandroid
Am I missing something here? Seems like I'd need to start fresh by installing the clean rooted version and installing CM7 after that, finally having to reconfigure my phone. If I can do it the way that's outlined above I'd save a lot of time and not have to redo everything.
Yes missing some steps. Nandroid stock then wipe data/reset, unroot, nvflash stock recovery. Then lg update. Then nvflash cwm, finally flash preroot rom.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
Before I go wiping my device again in anticipation of getting the OTA ICS update...
I made a backup of my device when I was on the original Honeycomb build after rooting. I then switched to the Prime ROM. I'm assuming that I can just restore my Honeycomb update, get Root Keeper and install the OTA update. Am I correct, or is there something that will stop me from doing this?
Edit: Also, when restoring a backup using CWM, does it automatically wipe the device before restoring, or does that need to be done manually?
I believe you also need to restore the original recovery. The last time I tried to flash an upgrade on my rooted stock image using CWM, it rebooted after downloading and rejected the (non-stock) recovery. I'm guessing the ICS update will require a reboot into the stock recovery as well.

Indeed, no OTA update when original recovery is not installed.
I looked around a bit and saw how to unroot and restore to stock recovery... is there an easy way to just restore stock recovery? My plan was to restore my stock backup (to get off revolver) and then can go from CWM -> Stock, I just wasn't sure how to do the last part without undoing everything and fully returning to stock/no root.
It's also very possible that Root Keeper will not work since this is a new firmware form the ground up.

OTA Rootkeeper do not work if the system partition is formatted. Which is not the until now. Also people reported OTA rootkeeper worked to get root back after ICS update.
Otherwise use vipermod option 1 to root on ICS.

I just did exactly this. I had a nandroid backup of my original stock honeycomb so I restored the backup (I had some problems with the kernel after restoring from Revolver with some OC kernel, but flashing "plain" Revolver and then restoring the stock rom from the backup did the trick).
After that I made sure that everything is OK - I checked that I'm on the correct pieces of the software, in particular the kernel. All looked fine so I pulled OTA update, but before applying it I had to restore stock recovery. For this I used the stock recovery linked in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154947 Just downloaded it, placed it on my SD card, rebooted into CWM recovery and flashed it (pleas note - I only downloaded this single file, not needed to download any other files mentioned n the above thread since I already been on rooted stock rom).
After booting the TF again, I made sure that my root is backed up with Supercurio's Root Keeper, then I applied the OTA and after a few minutes I was happy user of ICSed Transformer.
Please note that what worked in my case may not work in yours though. So be careful, think twice, and keep in mind that it's your decision - your risk (and if something goes wrong - your brick )
BTW, all applications, data, etc. are still in place. Root was restored via Root Keeper. Then I downloaded some updates of applications and so far I'm fine.
