[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
You can't get S-OFF on a N1. You can only unlock the bootloader. Reboot your N1, and on the Nexus Cross splash screen, see if you can find the padlock. It's at the bottom. If it's there, the bootloader is unlocked. Simples :)

Only a handful of people have S-OFF on their Nexus One's here, one of which is Rusty! although I think he was trying to sell his a few weeks back.
[HTC Sensation] Darnell_Chat_TN:
I'm waiting till the Sensation is rooted and bootloader unlocked before I buy one. I may wait till S-OFF is available, but I'll see how things look after it's rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
[HTC Sensation] RellikZephyr:
My nexus still says S-ON, but just above that in pink writing, it says unlocked, or something like that

Plus the unlock pic on boot up is another give away, but later rooting methods bypassed that somehow, being unlocked but not showing unlock symbol. Not sure how or whatever cause I unlocked mine 2 weeks after I bought it

But I can guarantee if your flashing custom kernels, your unlocked. As android will not allow custom kernels to be flashed unless you have an insecure bootloader

Rellikzephyr
[HTC Sensation] cqms13:
Yeah - ur right - used a later method of root etc (waited for over 3 months to do it) - have no padlock or pink writing

guess i was getting confused between s-off and bootloader lock etc

thanks for clearing that up for me:D

my head still hurts though.......
[HTC Sensation] willumpie82:
why bother about custom roms if the stock rom probably can't be better.

I'am running RCMix S on my HTC desire because the stock software is outdated.

by the time the software of the sensation won't be updated anymore (1,5year) it will be rooted/s-off

I'm waiting to see and feel one in a shop before buying it, I really like the specs but find it quite big.
[HTC Sensation] redbullcat:
Well, mods on the stock ROM, for one thing. I'd like to see CRT screen off animation, and deodex and zipalign the stock ROM.
[HTC Sensation] RellikZephyr:
That's interesting that you can flash custom kernels/roms and your phone shows little to no indication of being hacked. Be very handy for warranty jobs lol

[HTC Sensation] daivik:
this is probably the wrong thread, but i'm not 100% what S-OFF is. what is it??

and if i were to get the Sensation, would I be able to install LauncherPro/ADW Launcher/GO launcher etc on it?

Can u tell me how to install froyo leaked or official on it.........and does flashing other sbf official affect my phone?????

Please point me the latest clockworkmod for defy

Please guide me in step by step manner...........I know how to root.....How to install sbf using rsd in bootloaser mode.........and open system in recovery both system and clockworkmod...............
[Defy General] jinndroid:
:)

have you just tried flash a stock 2.2 sbf via rsd?

i'm not sure i get what you mean...

1.install the driver and rsd

2.down a stock rom,a sbf

3.set your rsd in option ,first come first service,then restart it

4.turn your defy into bootloader mode

5.connect your phone and pc via usb

6.choose your sbf file and flash it.

6.1 after you flash sbf,if you cannot into the system ,you can try do a full wipe

7.now you have a stock 2.2,if you want a froyo leaked ,you need root your phone and do a reboot,then install clockworkmod ,i remeber it's a apk,then you open it after you install it, you can install clockworkmod ,before reboot into cwm,you need turn off usb adb.

:D can i finish it after i have my diner?
[Defy General] yangyusen:
good works!

good works!
[Defy General] SteeLx:
Wht s rsd n adb?
[Defy General] aimsforu:
Nandrod+fixed sbf method

Flashing SBF directly with RSD lite will not not affect the phone, but affect your wanrraty, no official update in INDIA yet for froyo.

Better you follow nandrod+fixed sbf method.

1. Root your phone with Super one click.

2. Installed System recovery.

3. boot into system recovery and backup your system if you want.

4. Wipe DATA/CACHE/DALVIK CACHE.

5. Restore Nandroid backup of froyo of your choice which should be already copied to SD.

6. Go directly in the Boot loader after system restart by pressing Vol up button during restart.

7. Flashed Fixed SBF of corresponding froyo.

8. Let the system Reboot in foryo.

You can back to eclair any time with this method by direct flashing 2.59 SBF with RSD lite in case your need. :)
[Defy General] kranti2064:
Why? Say that he bricks his phone, then his phone can not be retrieved even by Moto guys as even they use rsdlite so simply speaking they will never be able to figure what actually caused the phone to brick...
[Defy General] kranti2064:
rsd lite is a software which is used by Motorola to flash firmware to a phone's memory.

ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a tool that comes with the Android SDK that allows you to control and interface with your Android device. It is located in the tools folder when you unpack the SDK.
[Defy General] aimsforu:
and what happen when we had some faulty part or so and then go to service????

Service people obviously check the software installed!!!!!!!

With locked bootloader there are very very few chances that you will brick DEFY. You have to be more fool than a fool to brick your defy!!!
[Defy General] pjgowtham:
OKAY

I used rsd ,used adb,used sbf and everything ..........i too bricked once and survived via rsd.........now well versed in these techs
[Defy General] dragon12345:

someone please tell me whether i should flash nordic's 2.2 rom/sbf

hey guys m a newbie,come from an eclair 2.1 device(motorola defy)

i need to ask some questions..since official 2.2 froyo for india is not yet available,then is there any problem if i flash nordic's 2.2 sbf(froyo leaked rom)?..as i wanted to get a froyo custom rom..if i flash with Nordic's 2.2 sbf..will i be able to downgrade back??

thanks

If u flash sbf u can't, But u flash Nandroid backup and fixed sbf u can downgrade.....
[Defy General] rachit2588:
can you link up the recovery files which you tried and 2.59 sbf
[Defy General] obscurant1st:
So from what you said, here is the things which i dont get.

step 2: install the system recovery? can you please link me which one!

step 3: i guess after installing system recovery we can boot into system recovery, but how can we do that? And backup our system-> can you provide some more info on this?

step 4: Wipe DATA/CACHE/DALVIK CACHE is this the same thing we do while booting into the special boot menu while pressing the volume downbutton?

step 5: Please link any of the good nandroid back up file

step 6: when i have to do this? after restoring during the first restart?

step 7: Flashed Fixed SBF of corresponding froyo. link?

Thanks in advance for your effort! :D
[Defy General] aimsforu:
You can get these all steps in sticky thread **** FAQ | Guides |Tutorials ****.

Anyway below are the steps with links:

1.	Root With SuperOneclick (Reboot Required after this)

2.	Download Tenfar recovery apk from here: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467632

3.	Install this APK (save on your card and use browser to install) and open it and and click on Install Recovery system, will ask you superuser request, click allow. Wait till it installed.

4.	Click Recovery Boot.

5.	System will reboot into recovery.

6.	Now with volume up/down buttons move to backup and restore.

7.	Click power button to get into back and restore

8.	Get into backup option in similar manner to backup your system.

9.	It will start backing your files and after completing task return to menu.

10.	Now back to your main menu and enter in click on Wipe data /factory reset and click yes, similary wipe cache partition.

11.	Go to advance and click on clear dalvik cache (very imp from my point).

12.	Now go back and click on backup and restore and restore your Nandroid backup (save your downloaded nandroid back in sdcard\goapkrev\backup before entering recovery)

13.	After restoring backup click reboot the system, make sure that you press vol up immediately after pressing power button it, otherwise you will be in bootloop. Remove battery if necessary (don’t think you will need this)

14.	This will make defy to boot in bootloader.

15.	Now flash fixed sbf froyo with RSDLite. Let it complete the process, will take hardly 2 min. to write fixed system and will boot automatically

16.	And you will be in Froyo (first will take a time to create dalvic cache)

Make sure that you have Motorola driver installed for your defy.

I am using 3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip (http://m.cfa.aero/nand/3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip) and 3.4.2_177-Fixed.NORDIC_DEBLUR.sbf (http://m.cfa.aero/fsbf/3.4.2_177-Fixed.NORDIC_DEBLUR.sbf) fixed sbf file which I think are latest.

Original file for 2.59 is at http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy from India section.

This is also helpful when you plan to move CM7.

hmm..i have some question..is clockwork recovery and tenfar recovery same? or which one is better? and after restoring nandroid backup of [3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip]

we have to flash again with RSDlite ?

you mean the sbf fixed file ?(3.4.2_177-Fixed.NORDIC_DEBLUR.sbf)

if yes then what is the fixed file actually?
[Defy General] chiujiewei:
Thanks for the tutorials and the links!!:):)

hmm..i want to ask some question..well is clockwork recovery and tenfar recovery same?or which one is better? i know its kinda stupid asking this type of question as m new to android and i need to make sure of everything before risking my phone.

And after restoring nandroid backup of [3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip]

we have to flash again with RSDlite ?

you mean the sbf fixed file ?(3.4.2_177-Fixed.NORDIC_DEBLUR.sbf)

if yes then what is the fixed file actually?:confused:
[Defy General] obscurant1st:
Thanks a lot man!

This way I will not lose the downgradability right??

I mean the direct flashing thing!?
[Defy General] shenoy007:
one thing i want know froyo nandroid in sd card we have make folder to keep downloaded nandroid ??how to make that folder??
[Defy General] shenoy007:
sir flashing everything is ok..but i cant go to recovery mode by pressing power and volume down.....i did some thing wrong???
[Defy General] aimsforu:
In simple terms, these are same recovery programs one which saves/restores files from clockworkmod/backup folder and other saves in goapkrev/backup folder. So if you have installed clockworkmod recovery extracts ur downloaded zip files in clockworkmod/backup/ folder and viceversa. This will be created automatically if you backup your system first time.

For the fixed files, these are small sbf files which does not include files which are avoiding us from downgradabiliy (CG31 and CG39). These missing files are copied to phone when you are restoring nandroid backup.

So it is necessary to restore nandrod backup first and then immediately enter in bootloader by presssing volume up button while rebooting and flashing fixed sbf file.

Flashing fixed sbf file will not avoid downgradabiliy.

Hope things are clear.
[Defy General] aimsforu:
Do you mean stock recovery, press power and volume down simultaneously to go to recovery, if this leads to android recoveey icon in the middle of screen then touch bottom right corner of screen, if this not work press volume up and down togather when android recovery logo in middle of screen.

For custom recovery press recovery boot from installed recovery programming.
[Defy General] chiujiewei:
yes everything is clear for me now, thank you so much!!
[Defy General] amitchia:
hey even m getting complicated:confused:..as i came across many posts and forums of flashing custom rom for the motorola defy, there it has the 2nd Init thing?can you please tell me what is it?do we have to install that for flashing? 2nd init??:confused:
[Defy General] aimsforu:
2nd init doesn't work my eclaier 2.59, so didn't mentioned. You can try it.

But on froyo its worked.

2nd init will allow you to boot into recovery without booting your system plus some additional operation. If your are planning for cynogen or miui rom its requires 2nd init to be installed first.
[Defy General] amitchia:
oh so you mean 2nd init is also a recovery program like tenfar,clockwork

ok then if i plan to move to cyanogen then should i install tenfar?or just 2nd init only?:confused:

and m on an eclair 2.1 device..since cyanogenmod is 2.3.4 gingerbread,can i just flash it from 2.1 to 2.3.4..without flashing froyo..direct from eclair to gingerbread?:confused:
[Defy General] amitchia:
can anyone tell me whats the difference betweem a boot loader and a bootmenu?

what is boot loader use for? and so as bootmenu?
[Defy General] aimsforu:
I afraid, u can not jump directly from eclair to gingerbread, u should have froyo 3.4.2-177 nordic or 3.4.3-11 UK as mentioned in the first post of Cynogenmod and must have 2init installed. By installing 2ndinit you will install Clockworkmod Recovery 2.5.1.8, so no need to install other recovery.

A little confused over which recovery to use.

Hi aimsforu!

Thanks for the brilliantly simple explanation! You have made life easier for many n00bs like moi and also helped us learn more.

I wanna ditch 2.2 and actually install CM7 by Quarx.

Just one question:Somewhere in this thread, I read that the 2nd Init (required for CM7) and Tenfar Recovery / Clockwork Mod Recovery are all same. (?)

So, If I want to go to CM7, should I install Tenfar's recovery or 2nd Init or Clockwork mod recovery?

No longer required! I know now that I need to have Tenfar Recovery to install FroYo and before installing CM7, will have to first install 2nd Init. Silly me! :-P

Thank you very much for your time!

It was working.

Did it have anything to do with the boot menu? also, now that my Defy boots normally, how do I go into boot menu? I tried going into recovery, but its giving me stock recovery. Time to put 2nd Init in anticipation of CM7?

Hi Nash!

Yeah India. I have selected this entry in the baseband switcher:

Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillipines, Thailand, Vietnam, India, South Africa RT SEA15 3.4.3-331

Please note that I have tried with the default baseband of the Nordic FroYo rom as well, but my netwerk strength never goes above 2 bars on 2G mode.

Also, I realised that my Android market has the old look (Gray color sheme) instead of the new look (Green color scheme).

Will this afect me in any way?

How do I manually update market to new version?

I remeber that my stock eclair also had old version of market but got updated automatically, without me needing to do anything.

Have u flashed the India 3G fix or used the Baseband switcher?

I have experienced just two bars of network connectivity without any of the above. Once I installed Baseband switcher and switched my baseband to India region, I regained full network range. No idea about 3G as my carrier does not yet have 3G. As for 2G, I don't use data connection cause the speed sucks anyways and its expensive as hell.

Hope that helps!

PS: the basband switcher is linked in post #38 in this thread. download the zip to sd card and install from custom recovery. After starting phone, launch the "DEFY Baseband Switcher V4.0", select APAC tab and then select the entry which has India in its name.
