[Bada Software and Hacking General] HertzVanRentals:
Went to update to 1.4 tonight, wasnt paying attention. Have a very bad feeling I checked boot change, and wasnt even in download mode. Yes, I realise this was borderline phone suicide, but is it as bad as I suspect? My Wave now seems stuck in perpetual phone - computer error icon from normal bootup, although I can get into download mode.

Any help appreciated, although I accept this has happened by nobody's fault but mine....
[Bada Software and Hacking General] xsycox:
Can you still go to download mode? If yes, there are two ways:

1. Flash it again with a full flash with all files like described in the first post. Choose the version you like according to your handset (S8500 or S8530).

or

2. Go to download mode and connect it to Kies and there you make the emergency recovery. That can take up to 120 minutes and many fail-trys, but it is working in the end.

---

If you cannot go to download mode, you have to bring the phone into a shop and get it flashed/fixed there.

[Bada Software and Hacking General] HertzVanRentals:
All very odd. Tried this a few times, with official FW too, made no difference. After a few hours, I simply tried flashing the bootloader and FOTA only through multiloader. Worked perfectly. It was a long shot but came through, much to my suprise, I kind of expected to further corrupt the bootloader further but figured i couldnt **** it up anymore :)

Will try 1.4 again later....

When I flashed DDJI2 (1.0.2) or any other Euro 1.0 - 1.0.2 Rom without the amss.bin I managed to maintain my original North America UMTS 850/1900 3g bands but when I flash KF2 (1.2 Bada) or any other Euro 1.2 Rom I lose my UMTS 850/1900. what other files should I not flash from DDJI2 to KF2 in order to maintain my original NA bands and be able to be on 1.2? :confused:

[Bada Software and Hacking General] xsycox:
that has absolutely nothing to do with the firmware, but with standard usb connectivity issues after a kies update or a manual flash.

just install the samsung mobile phone usb exe in kies\usb again and change your usb port and there you go ...

have fun.

[HTC Desire S] youagain:
Hey everyone.

After many years of using a BlackBerry I took the plunge and bought my first touchscreen device. I had my reservations about typing quality but the HTC keyboard is fantastic.

The device I purchased was advertised as being shipped from the UK by a UK seller so naturally you assume this is a UK device. Turns out this is an import from Hong Kong. This isn't a major issue as you can still use English and that is all I need but I can't modify the locale from English HK to English UK.

My understanding is if my device has the S-ON lock turned off using an XTC goldcard inserting a UK sim should cause it to automatically detect and use English UK as the locale without having to root it and install the European stock rom.

Would I be right in thinking this?
[HTC Desire S] :
Simple method:

Download Morelocale 2 from market.

Select English(UK) from the list.

That's all.
[General Questions and Answers] skyliner342007:
Hey everyone,

I have a HTC Hero CDMA phone from alltel...ya i have yet to go to another carrier since they are not the best at getting the best technologies first but anywho....

I am new to the whole rooting process and figuring out what roms to choose from.

I understand the basic concepts and all but need pointed in the right direction.

I have already rooted my phone gaining the super permissions required when changing settings in the phone. In addition i have made a back-up of my current rom via Rom Manager (Clockwork) or nandroid back up as everyone says in case something should go wrong. I have backed up all contacts and apps so that i may re-install them later. The version of android i have is 2.1 or eclaire.

The main question is what roms are available to me and a list of the detailed procedure..any help would be great. Thanks

Matt

hi mate!

well if you want to select some roms the best thing that you can do its try some of themm...

what criterion should follow?

judge by yourself.. for example:

if you are a HTC sense lover you can try some roms that have sense 2.1 or 2.2(talking about sense, not of android version ;))

but if you can to disregard of the sense environment you can try cyanogenmod ROMS... (available 2.3.3 gingerbread in CM7)

THERE are several roms to try.. thake this link for to read about...

If you concentrate on the number of visits of the thread of the ROM you will know if it is more popular or not, if not ... I advise you to open a new thread in the section of A*Q AND to ask...

Will the cryogen 7 work for my phone even though I'm running Android eclaire 2.1???

Where can I find the HTC sense 2.1 or 2.2....
[General Questions and Answers] Namccosh:
Best advise anyone can give you is test out different rom/kernal/radio combos till you find something you love. Im a rom addict constantly looking for that new high. I seriously am changing roms twice a week and radios about every two weeks. Just have fun with it bro.
[General Questions and Answers] skyliner342007:
Do I need anything else before I flash...I've backed up Rom, apps, data,...etc...do I need a radio too it should I worry about that....
[General Questions and Answers] SERGI.3210:
yep

for to flash a new rom you need somethings...

1-- root your device (obtain superuser toot access)

2-install the recovery menu

3-for to flash another radio or another kernel deppends...

there are radios for to flash from recovery... or from fastboot...

browse it in hero cdma android dev. section...post here if you don´t found it

in dev. section there are availables several sense roms :)

[Defy General] twistedshadows:
titles says it all.

you know i picked up my phone because im REAL ROUGH with my phones. (lost 2 to jetskis and 2 to just plan old wear and tear) i loved the idea of a phone that if it was raining i wouldnt have to worry about pulling it out and drowning it or if i banged my leg on something while at work i wouldnt destroy my phone.

Now i NEVER expected to have a phone that would see this much support. i mean motorola just put out the droid x, this phone is a little weird looking (i dont really like the white and black) it has a smaller screen then ur average smart phone and its not the most powerful thing out there.

But have any of u noticed the amount of love us defy owners are getting???? the phone was rooted REAL fast. we had 2.2 by what the 2nd month the phone was out. now we have 2nd init AND cm7 (2.3). i mean the droid x doesnt get anywhere near that much attention from the developers and people where SWEARING it was the big next thing.

honestly im just shocked that my phone is faster smoother and prettier then my friends droid x, then to top it off i can drop it into a puddle pick it up and start searching the web with no problems. its a beautiful beautiful thing

i just want to thank ALL the people that have become as taken with this phone as i have (who knew motorola could do something right) and then taken time out of there lives to make it better.
[Defy General] Mdfy:
rugged but sexy, tough but fast and on top of it is android OS. ahh.. just the perfect blend. :) until motorola defy 2 comes out (which I hope is already planned) am sticking with this as my main phone along with my other devices. I even created a new xda account for the love of motorola defy. ;]
[Defy General] MrBelter:
my 2.1 defy feels miles faster than my brothers 2.2 Samsung Galaxy Ace and his Ace keeps locking up for no apparent reason. People moan about the Defy only having an 800MHz processor but it must be implemented really well, his Galaxy ace cannot play snes and megadrive games smoothly where as they are spot on on my defy
[Defy General] zakoo2:
its beautiful, fast, very well supported, amazing display, android os, rugged, and its the perfect size. i mean, 4" screen is too big for my hands, but 3.7" is just perfect. and of course, its by far the best phone for this price!
[Defy General] awo23:
Powerfull, compact, rugged, i like the all display design, superb reception, strong and clean speaker (when not defective) high resolution display, flash support, good graphic card, nice overclock, low price, better developers community :-P......what else?
[Defy General] scrannel:
Defy has the personality/functionality of a water-resistant watch. So, when you come to think about it, that's exactly what a smart phone should be.
[Defy General] farsight73:
You got to touch it to know it...

It's not too big like HTC desire models and it's not too small you unable to type sms.

Features and functionality.. above posts said it all
[Defy General] K3n H1mur4:
Many reasons: first of all, the roughness. Then, it is easily customizable (something quite rare in a Motorola phone). Somehow, it was also very well coded, so things run smooth on it, even without overclocking (even though OC lets me play Modern Combat 2 with absolutely no lag). Also, nice display, very decent camera (specially after you enable 720p recording), and, most of all, the excellent cost-benefit. With the data plan I got from my carrier, it only costed me 50% more than a X8 or a Galaxy 5 would cost (149 reais - the currency here in Brazil - against R$99 of the SonyEricsson or the Samsung phones). The only other phone I saw such an active developing community was the HTC Magic (consequently, the HTC Dream, too). But, with the Defy's hardware, developers can do even more.
[Defy General] hmdknight:
I bought the phone after 20 days of exclusive research on HTCs, SAMSUNGs, and offcourse MOTOs. considering the price, look, CPU, internal memory, toughness, .... it is by far the best available.

I would not regret buying it.
[Defy General] HTC_SLAVE:
I wanted a new phone with a keyboard and android, there was nothing i liked out at the time so i got the defy because of the ruggedness. So far it's already saved itself and me from having to buy a replacement due to a large drink spill on a table.

I've also been the cause of a few different HTC's early retirements due to accidental dropping's and submerging them in liquid, so im very pleased with the defy.

Also mhz means nothing when your comparing completely different types of chips. And the 800mhz in the defy is very good.
[Defy General] ArcanisX:
To add, Defy is amazingly fairly priced. With all the ruggedness, you pretty much pay for 1 (toughphone or Andromobile, choose), get 2 for free.:p

Oh and we all love MotoBlur :p:p:p:p:p
[Defy General] Deonix:
I had to choose from a iPhone 3GS (8gb) SGS 1 and Moto Defy. Of course Defy :). It's a well priced smartphone, good looking on black, powerfull and light. I got it for 99 euro's on 2 year 17 euro data plan but the price could have dropped to as much as 50 euro's depending on how much minutes and SMS you wanted.

I hope Motorola unlocks the bootloader in Q4 as i saw people saying here. And in 2012 it gives us the Defy 2 :D:D. I can say Motorola is back in business.
[Defy General] Dark_Plasma:
For me it does everything i need it to do and more
[Defy General] abhi.eternal:
Moto is in business since they released Droid/Milestone. Let's hope that they keep their word regarding the unlocked bootloader. Though I am also looking forward to Defy 2, it also means my Defy will become old when the upgrade comes out :(
[Defy General] nicksti:
Pros:

+ Compact. 3.7" Screen yet is more compact than the iPhone except in thickness.

+ Rugged. The only Android phone out that is durable.

+ Price.

Cons

- Not the latest Android

- Locked bootloader

- Camera is below average

- Faulty earpiece design (fixed?)
[Defy General] geejay2:
The Defy is technically in the same class as the big phones, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire, iPhone 4 etc, in terms of processing power and screen resolution.

Samsung Galaxy Ace is a mid-range phone similar to LG Optimus One. They are in a different class altogether.

IMVHO Motorola did a technical masterpiece with the Defy. Although the screen is almost as big as the iPhone 4 the area around the screen is minimal. They wasted almost no space.
[Defy General] Raccroc:
Out of curiosity, anyone here considering a move to Casio's G'zOne Commando?

While perhaps more rugged than most smartphones, the Defy is not a rugged device. The Commando on the otherhand, meets several Military 810G rugged compliance specifications.

I am thinking about it and can live with the slightly smaller screen. What I cannot live with is Bing and Verizon bloat, so I am curious to see the community support.

[Defy General] xtrmshadow:
That's an interesting phone :

Pro's :

-Even more rugged than the Defy

-A few more sensors than the Defy (Temperature and so on)

Con's :

-Very ugly phone

-USA Only

Pro & Con (At same time) : Froyo (Yes it comes with Froyo but the Defy can easily have 2.3.4 CM7 ,so still a win :p)

It is rugged and looks like one,but take in fact the Defy doesnt look at all rugged and it is.

Also you dont know its GPU,or if it has a dedicated one,Defy has a PowerVR 530 for sure.

Basically theire both good,depends on which you want to lean twards,for the most rugged but same time heavy(& ugly)phone,get the Casio,for just a rugged phone,get the Defy....and for a sensible plastic thingy,get anything else lol.

At least here in Brazil there's no better option than the Defy at the price, it's just a wonderful phone.
[Defy General] ABC_Universal:
Good all round performance for the price. Also compact and relative ruggedness. :)

But I don't like moto's tardiness, attitude and won't another moto phone again. Just imagine the average users who are still using android 2.1 on their defy, and $3000+ bounty by atrix users for unlocking the bootloader.
[Defy General] hunpgod:
before the defy I was using a htc diamond. I was planning to switch to androind for a long time, but there weren't any decent phones around until the Defy showed up. I got one from the very first shipments, had earpiece issue, but I still love the phone. I'd choose it today as well. :) of course custom roms helped a lot with the performance
[Defy General] the|gamer:
Hi,

I love the fact that the Defy is so light and small but hast a big enough screen size!

Its nearly Retina Quality and has a very big Community :)

If Motorola unlocks the Bootloader, the Defy would become Uber Phone, but with 2nd init and co. we have some work arround..

short: awesome Phone

[Defy General] skattegat:
My Defy is runnig Nordic Froyo 177 Blurless. I didn't clear off any apps. It is rooted and SetVsel configured at 1000/52 75%.

Ah, power-mode is maximum power-save, all data-connections are set to off (background-data, data-roaming, data active).
[Defy General] radtg:
I believe it's the best cost-benefit available. As everybody said, it's beautiful, it's hard to get scratches on its surface, not to mention the easy way to flash custom rom's, specially CM7 developed by Quarx, and can be found here at xda.

Tks

I also have the same nordic 2.2.2 177_005. Will configure setvsel and see if it can increase my battery's backup from 1 day to 3.
[Defy General] Zach21:
What I think:

It has unique hardware features like waterproof and generally good hardware spec.

It has screen comparable to many other phones, yet it is shorter in size.

People don't like motoblur and will go out of their way to remove it :) Thats why so many people are interested in mods, at least thats why I am :)

love the hardware, hate the software (the official). but with cyanogenmod 7 it's a best buy, it's like 60% faster than on froyo, drivers are much better, etc... and my phone has nothing to do with motorola anymore :)

hey mate, so are there no down falls with moving to CM7 now? i thought there are still bugs and glitches to be ironed out..
[Defy General] wout1:
I have CM7 beta 6 installed, and I think it works great. It is much faster then Froyo
[Defy General] zakoo2:
it is really much faster, and compared to the previous versions there are very few bugs. but there are some, for example, wifi doesnt work for me, whatever i did, but afaik it's not that common... so yeah, if you're not afraid of bugs, go for it :)
[Defy General] sonhy:
yeah ok, might give the latest beta a go... i use the led light heaps and have wifi auto turn on at midnight to download so see how it goes.

thanks.
[Defy General] 2-die-4:
Just had to send mine back... had it like 4 days... but the screen had a really bad whitebalance it was more yellowish then white... :((

Well it's only my backup and sportsactivity phone... my main phone is a HTC Desire HD. Can't really say which one of the two i like more... they both have some advantages and disadvantages... but the defy has a way better Batterylife... but the screen isnt that good and the performance... stillt the roughness it can take is nice :D
[Defy General] mc0uk:
The Defy is an awesome phone and a credit to Motorola, I agree that you can't help but like it and nothing really compares to it in terms of design, quality and price.

I originally bought one for my business partner who had never had a smartphone and after spending a night flashing and rooting and trying out a few roms etc I fell in love with it, especially as it is virtually un-brickable (the mcgiver method come in handy as a newbie I tried to flash it with a low battery)

I have an iPhone 4 (jailbroken of course) and recently a nexus s so wasn't expecting much but since I have ditched the nexus and replaced with a defy. and also picked up a couple of nice second hand ones, one for my teenage son which is great as his ideos 8150 wouldnt take much of a soaking or knock to kill but fared well. The defy cost roughly the same but the defy is just far more superior in every way.

The design is pretty and well thought out, and twice the battery life of an iPhone4, its a great all rounder.

First post here btw. Great forum and some amazing people here.

Thankyou for sharing your knowledge.

Going off experience from my phone here...

It does this same thing with my Nexus One. Voice Search opens in something that looks like the stock Browser. But when I click on a search result, it gives me the option to complete the action with either Browser or Dolphin HD. So I clicked on "use as default action" and then selected Dolphin HD.

Now when I click a result it opens up the page in Dolphin HD. When I press the back button, it pops me back to the search results.

Perhaps Honeycomb behaves in a similar fashion? I wish it would all be in Dolphin, but hey.
