Recovering a Defy flashed with TMobile ROM - "mts_jordan-eng 2.1-update1 Jordan_U3_97.21.51_GNPO 1307943892 test-keys"

WARNING: You shouldn't be flashing this SBF. It will remove the downgrade capabilities from your Defy. Any attempt to flash any other SBF will leave your Phone in bricked condition (ie., you won't get any display on Power On )

Here are the steps to recover your bricked Defy ( Tested on Green Lens and should work RED as well )

1. Ensure that your Battery is fully charged using another Defy or a Portable Battery Charger 
2. In case you are left with only your phone connect it to a PC/Laptop and if you get a white light leave it in that condition over night. This will charge your battery
3. Hold Vol Up and press the Power Key. Hold it for 10 seconds you won't be getting any display, but should be able to see the backlight lighting up.
4. Connect your phone to your PC/Laptop using the USB cable 
5. PC/Laptop should detect the phone as "Motorola Flash Interface", if not make sure you have installed these drivers.
6. Open RSDLite and flash this SBF ( Until this point you won't be seeing any display on the phone )
7. Once RSDLite starts flashing you should be able to see some message on the screen "SW Update In Progress"
8. Wait until RSDLite completes its operation and reboots the phone.
9. If the Phone doesn't reboot by itself remove the battery and insert after 30 secs and let the phone boot
10. Wait until the phone boots up.. You will be on Android Froyo Now.

If you want to upgrade to CM7 refer this Blog.

Note:- On my laptop I faced a peculiar behaviour. RSDLite detects the phone only when its connected to the first USB Port on the right side of the laptop.
