[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Confidential:
I've been reading a few threads here on XDA... still completely confused about everything...

I'm going to post the process i assume i need to do to get my phone to a nicer version.

and a question before that: will upgrading to a new version fix my Wi-FI problem?

1) rooting:

Get SuperOneClickRoot (can't download it from here: ht tp:// short fuse.org/?p=80 ) (will superoneclick 2.3.3 do the job?)

Get and Install Motorola Drivers [32bits] [64bits]

Reboot your PC

Turn USB Debugging ON (Settings -> Applications -> Development on your Defy)

Connect your Defy to the PC

Wait for the PC to install any missing Drivers

Click on Root

Let it work, then it will ask if you want to install BusyBox, hit YES

After it finished it will ask to make a test, click cancel and just Reboot your Defy

Done, Defy rooted

2) Flashing:

Get the SBF you want to flash

(cyanogenmod 7 or 9 or ICS (i don't mind some of the bugs since i don't use the apps related to them)

Get and Install RSD Lite v4.9 (do i install on PC or phone)

Open RSD Lite: Click on [ … ] Button and select your .SBF (Remember to rename to a short name and put it on root of your PC) and click Open.

Boot your phone into Bootloader Mode (check last section if you don’t know how to do it).

Now connect your Defy to your PC

The START button on RSD Lite should be available now, click and wait.

and to comeback to stock ROM i have no idea how to. something to do with CG versions and i have no idea what it means, do i have to find an ICS/cyanogenmod with the same CG?

again thank you for your replies and future replies!

WIUI

I Tried CM9 and WIUI i Think WIUI is much more stable and offer better perfomance, with a easier UI

On witch android version are you now? (In settings>about). Different defy+ sbf's need different methods. Read the defy beginners guide for info on sbf's etc...

i have android 2.3.6. i have read that guide and it confused me even more.... about CG. which 1 do i need? (if it makes a difference i have languages that appear most in my country; israel) again, many thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArielitoARG:
Cyanogenmod is not a sbf. First you have to flash your sbf, and then root your phone. The sbf will be your stock rom, and cm your custom rom (it comes in a .zip flashable with recovery).
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
You're with 2.3.6.. Most probably CG version 7(Bootloader 7). Don't worry you're already on ' what I should say' Top of the tower right now.There's no jumping back.

For more info about rooting, flashing and SBF etc. go through the guides in the forum..

Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Confidential:
wow i just can't comprehend this process...

if i manage to do this process and some time later i might need the warranty, is there a way to unroot uneverything i've done in my phone assuming i can't get my hands on the sbf that i have on my phone? (or can i somehow save the 1 on my phone)

3 more unrelated questions:

1)i have some sort of scratch or erased part on my Defy+ (which is supposed to withstand almost all). it's on the left side of the screen and if u blow hot air on it (on the whole screen) then you can see borders of the screen and that scratched part, if u move ur finger from the right to the left u feel a bit of roughness on the bordered area.

this is weird, because i haven't even put my phone on the table on the screen, always on it's back. and i'm very paranoid about my phone even though it's supposed to withstand a lot. i have only once lost my phone out of sight through the 3 days i have it, i gave it to a tech guy in the store i bought it in for 5 minutes.

now, how the **** can something like that happen? isn't that gorilla glass? (it's not an even line/border if it matters) and i know it's not dirt because I've rubbed, I've sprayed some LCD cleaner spray, some Window Cleaner, Some alcohol (95%).

2) i heard of 2 ways to download paid apps for free, 4shared.com appplanet (or something) now the questions are: will i get banned on motoblur or android or something like that? will i be still able to use it (4shared/applanet) once i flash my Defy+?

what are the consequences of this?

3)my phone constantly opens apps for no reason! every 5 minutes i have to go into app killer or task killer (forgot the name) to kill all the running apps. if i don't do it every few minutes i will come to find a butt load of apps!!! is this a bug? will this be fixed if i flash my Defy+?

again, many thanks ahead.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
1. To unroot it you'll need your stock SBF.Look for it, most probably you'll find in the SBF's thread.

2. Gorilla glass is scratch resistant not scratch proof so some minor scratches may appear, better find a good screen-guard.

3.When a developer ask users to pay for the apps, it is because he would've worked real hard for that and the app is worth paying for.I feel its not only illegal bt unethical as well to run pirated apps.

Still if you run any pirated apps, Google or Android or anything else won't block anything.

At most the app may stop wrking if it fails to verify the license.

4.There's a lot of stuff running in the background that invoke the apps you see running.

If you feel some of those are useless and killing those won't affect system working, use Auto-kill from your task manager..

about that rough area in the phone.

that screen is supposed to survive keys but can't survive my hand, pocket and shirt (only things the screen came in touch with)?(empty pocket)

and this morning i wake up after last night seeing the rough area one more time before bed. and see a New Rough area, it's a very thin line in the middle right of the screen. (i blew hot air to look at the rough area and saw this) and at night, NOBODY touched it! it's like the screen coating (not sure if it is coating, dunno what it is.) is degrading.

i will buy a screen guard but the thing is that untill then i'm afraid the screen won't be fully intact anymore. (not that it is now...)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
The environment around you..Is it quite dusty or does the phone gets in contact with sand particles??

Coz it can survive keys but not sand..

Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Confidential:
i live in the city and i don't recall living in a very dusty house or going to one.

and isn't it dust resistant as well as waterproof?

EDIT:

back on topic of upgrading: i have some apps i cannot uninstall (they came with the phone) will i be able to uninstall them if i install WIUI?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
Sand particles may cause scratches on the glass..however if you feel its serious, get it to the service center..

Some apps are the part of the ROM. If you flash another ROM, those apps won't be present unless they're included in the one you flash.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Confidential:
i have a question about DLNA.

i opened up DLNA while on wi-fi saw 2 computers (mine and bros)

i tried connecting to mine (every 1 of the 3 options failed) (share media is enabled)

so i googled how to my computer accesible to DLNA and followed a guide.

(basically enable media sharing...) once i've done that, i checked my Defy+ and my computer was gone from the list, i restored the setting so i will be able to see it again, but i can't! and i can't find anything anywhere about how to make it work.

is there a normal guide for this? has anyone encountered this issue?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
Can't help you much with that.DLNA is stock rom feat and I've been using custom roms for quite a long now..

Though I'd suggest to clear app data from settings.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Confidential:
if i do a nandroid backup, will i be able to use that back up (i have no idea what nandroid back up does so...) to unroot, and return to original SBF? original Flash original everything? and have no warranty issues?

is this the process i need to go through to get WIUI?

Flashing:

1) Put the ROM i want in the SC card (zipped or unzipped?)

2)download and install motorola drivers

3) download and install RSDLite (4.9 if i'm not mistaken?)

4)open RSDLite

5)Enter Bootloader Mode on you phone (Power+VolUp)

6)Connect phone to you PC (USB)

7)Open RSD - Lite

8) Flash new SBF.

(where and when and how do i backup?)

rooting:

1.Download SuperOneClick (2.1.1-shortfuse)

2.Turn On usb debugging mode in your phone.Don't put phone USB mass storage mode.

3.Connect your phone to your pc.

4.Open SuperOneClick as Administrator.

5.Click ROOT and wait. If it asks whether you wish to install Busybox etc, give yes or ok.

6.Once root is complete you will get a pop up asking whether you wish to donate. Make a choice.

7.At last you will find a line on the right side pane saying to reboot. Reboot your phone.

Installing the rom:

1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2

2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)

3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.

4. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.

5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip and let it finish.

6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!

7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu

7. Done! Recommend: use Battery Calibration for maximum battery

questions:

1) where does the nandroid backup come in mind?

2) what about that CG stuff? and how do i know my CG and the WIUI CG and how do i know that if i need to unroot it's unrootable./return to stock SBF.

3) i've read somewhere that you need to change some file name to a very short one otherwise it will be brick, also it needs to be in a certain location on the pc/phone?

what file is that?

4) where does the clockwork Manager come in play?

unrelated:

Should i overclock my CPU? (i play games a lot, not sure if every game i plan on downloading will be able to run fluidly with 1 GHZ...)

Many thanks Ahead.

EDIT: i may have found the stock SBF that i need, but i am Very unsure, the download might be broken, it might not be it...

i rather have a few ways to go back than just one.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
Nandroid backup is done when you're flashing a New

Custom ROM

to your phone through Custom Recovery(Clockwork Mod is A custom Recovery).

The above steps are for flashing A New

SBF

..

What are SBF's? You'll find the answer here.

Also Read the risks involved with flashing A new SBF.

This is how you flash a Custom ROM, which is a flashable *.zip file

Only thing to add is when you enter stable Recovery(CWM), choose

Backup/Restore> Full Backup

before step 5

.

This is your Nandroid backup

Now get the difference between two methods.

1.)Flashing A SBF

Flashing A SBF is done through RSDLite using your PC. This is where the CG versions are important.The file is with extension *.sbf placed on your pc at any location.

2.)Flashing A Custom ROM

Flashing A Custom ROM is done through your Recovery on the device itself. The ROM is a flashable zip placed on you SDcard.Custom ROM's DO NOT ALTER the CG version.

Its the SBF file when flashing through RSDLite.

Its ClockworkMod And it is your Custom/Stable Recovery.

I don't see a need to do so,unless you feel some lags using your phone. 1Ghz is quite high for a device, trust me.

The only way to unroot it is to flash you stock SBF through RSDLite. Thats the only way. nothing else.

PS: you should read the faq threads etc. Most of the stuff is already answered in detail.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Confidential:
i think i'm starting to get this.

so if get this right the only Logical* reason to flash an SBF is to get it back to stock?

and if i flash custom ROM use it for a while, i'll flash the Stock SBF, and i'll want to flash Custom ROM again, will be able to, right? and will i be able to do this forever and ever?

and on the download page for Stock SBF's for Defy Plus, how do i really make sure that it (the one i think is right for me) isn't corrupted and it is exactly what i currently have?

again, the FULL process to get WIUI ICS is this:

rooting:

1.Download SuperOneClick (2.1.1-shortfuse)

2.Turn On usb debugging mode in your phone.Don't put phone USB mass storage mode.

3.Connect your phone to your pc.

4.Open SuperOneClick as Administrator.

5.Click ROOT and wait. If it asks whether you wish to install Busybox etc, give yes or ok.

6.Once root is complete you will get a pop up asking whether you wish to donate. Make a choice.

7.At last you will find a line on the right side pane saying to reboot. Reboot your phone.

Flashing Custom rom(WIUI):

1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2

2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)

3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.

4. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery(which is The ClockWorkMod). Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.

5.Backup/Restore> Full Backup

6. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip and let it finish.

7. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!

8. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu

9. Done! Recommend: use Battery Calibration for maximum battery

is this correct?

Thanks Ahead

EDIT:

questions:

1) how much free Ram do you have/did you have free when nothing is running with the WIUI ICS Custom ROM.

2) i have around 180 free ram if shut down everything through the settings>application>application manager (or something) >running. and 190 used (nothing is running besides settings and keyboard and settings)

now, i assumed at the start that i don't see the full 500MB of ram because of the OS, but on second thought, what is using up my 190 MB if the OS already took 140-130 MB ram...

what is the real explanation for this entire situation?

Again, Many thanks ahead
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo.ank:
Yes that should be the logical choice. You can do that anytime you need to flash your Stock or Custom ROM. Though frequent flashing and changing ROM's might wind up your phone's memory and create bad areas. So I'd say find a good ROM, flash it and stay updated on that..

Yes it is.

I don't run WIUI so can't answer that to you but the RAM management in Android is different. That much consumption is normal. Its not just the apps but a lot of activities running in background.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Confidential:
what is CEE 2.2 and Nordic?

i see i need to have that to install WIUI

this is from the WIUI 2.5.27 Page:

"Installation GUIDE: for GB and ICS version

-1. Flash 2.2 CEE ROM or Nordic (Help for sbf-flash.)

0. use SuperOneClick for root

1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2

2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)

3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init.

4. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.

5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select WajkIUI_multilang .zip and let it finish.

6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!

7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu

7. Done! Recommend: use Battery Calibration for maximum battery

ps.: i use 2.2 CEE Froyo ROM for base"

As a MIUI-fan I'm really looking forward for a complete and stable MIUI port from Team Cooper.

As for now I'm using the official CM7 Nightly built rom, the reason is that i'm too lazy to reinstall,

arrange -personalize in general when a new RC build comes out (even though it's not too often).

Either way, I've decided to spread this custom signature that I made for them (actually 4months ago).

Use it as you please (as long as you dont claim any creds) and support Team Cooper for their awesome work,

and not only the MIUI project but all of em! :D
