All right, if you help me with this, you'll save my life (almost) literally. I'm breaking my head over this :S.
What is an SBF file? What is the difference between SBF and custom rom?
For flashing an SBF (whatever it is), there is a comprehensive tutorial for Motorola Droid here on this link: Using RSD Lite to flash an SBF file -- correctly - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum. Please confirm: It is essentially the same for Defy except that you have to press volume up instead of D-pad up, right?
I've currently installed custom recovery by tenfar ([Release] Clockwork MOD recovery for Moto Defy [Updated 2010-12-18 04:08 am CST] - xda-developers). But if I go into recovery the normal way (volume down+power button), it boots into stock recovery. WHY? Is it simply a kind of separate software that doesn't interfere with the normal recovery.
Can I go back to stock 2.1? I've made a backup through tenfar's recovery. Tutorials to install custom roms (like this one) are so complicated. To go back to stock a simple restore through custom recovery is enough? Can I go to 100% stock and claim warranty at any time?
Also, I'm currently interested in cm7. So any advice you give could be more specific to that.
And lastly, why can't I install rom manager? Koush's clockworkmod doesn't support defy. ROM manager would just make everything so much simpler
