[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pilii0:
We are near! :)

I'm going to tell what's my problem, because it can help.

I have an Amazon (UK) xt320, I had to install USB Motorola drivers using HPNet because I had the error "Error: Device not found", but now is solved.

But when I execute the command “adb reboot-bootloader”, the phone restarts normally, not in recovery. I tried to do it manually, using volume and power keys, but it's not possible.

I followed this guide, it's in spanish: motoroladefymini . wordpress . com, but it only works for some phones.

After 2 days of testing, finally my Motorola XT320 is ROOTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

I used TNBST_4_07.1D.08RPS_flex_LATAM_Claro_Latam Rom, thanks to pbruck

Before this, I had a TELCEL ROM

I had the same problem with fastboot, but when I flashed with Claro Rom, I execute the command fastboot boot recovery.img from CMD with the phone connected to my laptop. Suddenly appears the FASTBOOT Menú.

Next, I made all the steps posted by Leos0

Thanks you all

Is there any way to flash recovery.img other than fastboot command?

I mean some tool like rsd or something?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadK9:
Hello,

Keep in mind that this solution applied here is not flashing recovery!!!

The fastboot command only allow temp access to system by booting the phone from the folder you've put recovery.img file.

Flashing commands are different for fastboot.

But I just guessing here, if I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me!

Thanks.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afadel:
You're right. Fastboot mode is an engineering/developing mode that allows you to boot from an image (which is what we are trying to do) so you can run unsigned stuff. That is why only old firmwares have the fastboot. Apparently Motorola started shipping devices and forgot to remove the fastboot. They then noticed and corrected for newer builds.

Recovery

Is anybody working on porting ClockworkMod Recovery on this phone??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadK9:
Thank you,

But which builds contain fastboot???

In the name of GOD... already tried several builds, from Europe (a Spain build, an Italian build, a GB build...) and all of them left my phone without IMEI!!! ...and no fastboot of course!!!:(

The only build that worked for me, beside the original one of course, was a build from Orange Romania provider, sim-lock free and no fastboot....

To be true, I'm afraid to blind trying builds... because already flashed sbf's mentioned here as working and... didn't... for me of course!

Flashing another build from another continent will deprive me from my native language, not that English won't do, but still...

Even so, I do not have any guarantee that my IMEI will remain after flashing...

I did a backup with NV backup tool before flashing but for nothing, didn't restore my IMEI, don't know the reason because all things are in place, drivers, debugging enabled, etc...

So, still waiting a viable solution from the REAL SMART GUYS, real DEVELOPERS... it is of course a trial and error process for simple peoples like me for example with so few knowledge (none in fact) of android system dev tools.:fingers-crossed:

Cheers.

Vampirelu, thank You!

I've done the same. Factory applications can not switch to the sd card, but can some others that have not made the switch before. With app2sd.

Before, I had 20 MB space, now I have 60 MB. Even if I could delete unnecessary factory applications (Twitter, Facebook, Google Maps...) I do not need root, because it is the only drawback to this phone too little storage space. :cowboy:

Does anyone know how to delete them??? :(
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbruck:
You can ONLY!! delete them if you have Root.

No other Way!

The Apps are located in an Write protected Folder ( /flex ) in the Root of the Phone.

So if you want to delete them..

You have to root.

If it is to risky for you (understand this) you have to cope with the current state.

CONFIRMED!!!

All should be thankfull to

Alin Razvan

, from droidevelopers.com.

His trick allowed us to gain root acces to Defy Mini, AFTER ALL THIS TIME...

Tried several times, and finally did it... it is indeed tricky... but follow the guide exactly and you'll be there in no time!!!

When you'll boot to fastboot, you'll have to check this driver in device manager! It will appear like in the screeshoot!

Then the proof this method work... cmd screenshoot...

From there is simple, follow the steps from CWM menu, choose your update.zip file, flash it, confirm root and reboot...

YOU'RE DONE!!!​

GOOD LUCK!!!:good:

What I must do?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbruck:
rocovery.img has to be in teh same folder as adb and in the Root of the SD Card on Phone.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breton_tsala:
Rocovery.img wasn't in the root of the sd card before but now it is.

It is also in the same folder with adb.

Still "cannot load recovery.img".
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbruck:
Are you sure, your Phone has Fastboot Mode and you have booted into it?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afadel:
It doesn't need to be in the sdcard, but it won't hurt if you put it there. You're absolutely positive the recovery.img file is in the same folder as abd.exe and fastboot.exe (it actually has to be in the same folder of fastboot.exe). If it isn't you have to use the complete path to recovery.img, but it is easier to move it to the fastboot.exe folder. You're running "fastboot boot recovery.img", right?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breton_tsala:
Yes, I am. I have a folder with abd.exe, fastboot.exe, recovery.img and two dll.

I am giving the right path in cmd, the first command works, the phone restart in fastboot.

I type the second command but the same, it cannot load recovery.img.

Rooted!

Hello,

I am new here on XDA and I followed the Defy Mini rooting thread from the beginning since I own this phone recently, and my only goal for rooting would be the possibility to increase the internal memory with Link2SD or something like that, since that is it's biggest flaw in my opinion. I waited till there was a reasonabely good solution to root since I didn't want to brick my phone for sure....

I am one of the lucky few to say i have managed to root my Defy. I had the same firmware as pbruck did (TNBST_4_0A.21.0CRPS_flex_WE_RTDACH ROM ) and I flashed my Defy through RSD Lite 5.7 to the Spanish ROM from droiddevelopers

TNBST_4_0A.1F.OERPS_flex_WE_Orange_Spain. This gave me acces to fastboot on my phone through my PC using the software package from pbruck and from there I followed his instructions. Works flawlessly, no simlock, no loss of IMEI, just perfect. All in one time!

Important is RSD Lite 5.7, lower versions didn't work for me.

Hopefully there will be more to gain root access on their Defy Mini!!!!!

If you manage to get the Spanish ROM on your phone , read the instructions from pbruck VERY carefully and you most likely will be rooted!

First reflash your old firmware so you can boot.

Second, flash spain firmware without battery, and after few seconds when almost whole mobile screen gets filled with text you will see modem word somewhere on the bottom, when you see it, unplug the usb cable and that's it.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbruck:

If it is possible.

Repeat the Flashing procedure.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afadel:
This is weird. If the phone didn't have fastboot you would get a "<waiting for device>" message, so I don't think that's the case. I've tried to reproduce the problem. Is this the message you're getting or is it a bit different?

C:\Personal\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>fastboot boot recovery.img

cannot load 'recovery.img': No error

This came up because I didn't have recovery.img in the same dir as fastboot ("C:\Personal\Android\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools" in this case). You're saying you have the image file there, so I don't know what else can it be. But you're problem doesn't seem to be connectivity or fastboot.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sh0m1:
Im pretty sure that recovery.img either has a wrong name(maybe he renamed it or something) or it's damaged, tho i dunno how it could be possibly damaged since it works for everyone.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afadel:
Dude, read this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2079202

What you need to do is first follow the flash procedure in post #1 to restore a working SBF to your phone (since you stopped the last one during flash). Pick the most recent SBF from your country operator to make sure you won't have simlock problem. Since you're stuck on M logo your phone will probably not be recognized by RSD Lite. If this is the case, turn it off, hold camera+vol down and without release hit the power button. It should turn on and show four lines in the screen. This is flash mode and it will be recognized by RSD Lite.

After restoring a working SBF, follow the procedure in post #3 (from Alin's guide just go from step 6 onward). On post #3 there's also another explanation of the same thing Alin did, but in different words that I wrote. Maybe that's better for you to understand the procedure.

After that you'll have fastboot. Go back to post #1 and follow the procedure to root when you already have fastboot.

For those who want to add or delete apps in /flex, you cant remount it read/write with :

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock14 /flex

I do this in adb shell, bu you probably can do that directly on the XT320 (with Terminal Emulator for example).

After that, you can update Maps, Play and others apps in /flex. (if someone want the entire procedure, ask :) )

Same for /system :

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock11 /system

How I rooted my defy mini

IMPORTANT!!! This only will support most European languages!!! Also English....

How did I do it, with succes!

1. Download the zip file that was attached to the post quoted above ("root_xt320.zip") and download the Spanish ROM from droiddevelopers.com (TNBST_4_0A.1F.0ERPS_flex_WE_Orange_Spain)

hotfile. com/dl/184330128/2d4ce8b/TNBST_4 _0A.1F.0ERPS_flex_WE_Orange_Spain. zip.html (delete the spaces!)

2. Extract the "update.zip" file into the phone's SDcard folder I did this by connecting the phone to the pc in the "mass storage mode".

3. Extract all the other files from the "update.zip" file and the ROM into a folder on my pc (password to unzip the rom is mod2xtreme.com)

4. Connect the phone to the pc in the mass storage mode. turn USB debugging ON (settings -> applications -> development -> USB debugging)

5. Open RSD Lite 5.7 and make sure your phone is recognized in the lower part of the screen. you have to see XT320

6. Go to the ... tab and search for the extracted Spanish ROM and select it. In RSD Lite will appear all information about the ROM,

7. Then choose "extract and flash" and RSD wil begin to flash your phone. This will take several minutes. You will see the progress in both your phone and on the screen.

8. When this is done the phone will reboot and you can disconnect the usb when it starts to reboot. You will see an error in RSD but you can ignore it and close RSD.

9. Wait till the phone is rebooted and starts up in the first screen. You should get a new install for Android after the SIM is recognized. I had it locked and after putting the code in, my SIM card was recognized. Work through the setup till it is finished.

10. Put the phone in USB debugging ON mode and connect to your PC and when asked for activate USB storage.

11. Open cmd on your pc and go to the folder where the zipped root xt320 files are. (adb, fastboot, recovery.img etc)

12. type adb devices. your phone should be recognized by a number. If not, install the proper Motorola drivers...

13. if the phone is recognized, type "adb reboot-bootloader" (without " of course) The phone reboots in the fastboot modus, it will tell on the screen. DON'T coose any of the options on the screen!

14. Next,type "fastboot boot recovery.img" (in the cmd, of course. NOT in the phone). Now the phone enters CWM menu. It is a bit overscaled but you can read the text, this is normal....

15. Use the VOL+ and VOL- buttons to navigate and POWER to choose, don't use any other button. choose the second option, "update from sdcard" and confirm with power button. Navigate with volume down till you see "update.zip"

16. Press power button to select and then confirm (YES) to install. after done installing, scroll down to option "back" and confirm.

17. Choose reboot the phone, then you see 1. No 2. Fix with root. Obviously, choose 2. Now the phone reboots and your phone will be rooted!!. Superuser is present in the list of apps!! Enjoy!

This is how it worked for me! I used my laptop running Windows 7 64 bit.
