method to stop force closing of gaaps

------>first download gaaps package from this thread extract it to the pc,it contains lot of folders ignore them js copy sytem/app folder and system/lib folder to sd card

------->install apks as system apps through root explorer

then comes the magic

-------->simply place the libs in system/lib folder through root explorer then restart

ta da.... nomore force closess

btw i've asked the moderator to create a subforum for our beloed defyxt and he gave me a positive response

Thank you to the original author and poster, I am on ICS, rooted and Gapp'ed!

My friend's DefyXT

All procedures and download links here are valid.

I have encountered several problem along the way before succeeding, some help notes for those still having problem.

-Flashing to ICS....no brainer, the alt DL site(Download Mirror : http://depositfiles.com/files/86z62ho7r) for 4.0.4 even defaulted to English Lang.

-Re-connecting phone to PC, ADB driver missing, check your device manager, make sure no exclamation marks. Tried many drivers all over the internet but no go, finally installed Moto drivers and got all drivers fully installed (http://www.motorola.com/Support/XP-EN/Support-Homepage/Software-and-Drivers/USB-PC-Charging-Drivers).

-Patching...... SUT LR will not connect to phone, OMG! almost wanted to go back to GB cos no root no G-apps. After trolling the internet, realizes tat phone MUST be in mass storage mode, how to do tat.....enable USB debugging, plug in phone, slide down notification window, change USB mode to mass storage...tada, done!

-Rooting...DL the root package in 15 (www@mediafire@com/?t884ytrvoghb9gx), unpack and execute batch file( I use root and busybox.bat), a cmd window will open and some error like dir not found then phone reboots, don't worry....just let it run, don't touch it, it is suppose to reboot 3 times untill finally the cmd window shows "press any key to continue". Congrts, u are rooted.

G-apps- Upon unpacking, ignore all other folder, just browse to system/apps and copy the 21apks into your phone system/apps taking note of their names (I copied the app folder into my SD using PC, then install rootexplorer to move them to phone's system/apps). Change the permission following instruction 6 onwards)

Please don't forget to reboot.

My humble 2cents from a second rooting experience.

Mike
[Defy General] Xeoaga:
still unable to root

is this method only applicable to ics ? i am unable to root my defy xt.. after coming back to gb.. sut lr is not recognizing my device.. should i try it on another pc?

i tried it on my other friends pcs but to no avail.. however all our laptops are same.. exactly same.. should i try it on some other brand?
[Defy General] mike8333:
When SUT LR does not see the phone, 2 possibilities are either ADB driver not installed properly and USB mode.

In your case, most likely the former, check your device manager for exclaimation mark, then make sure you are in USB Mass Storage mode when u connect.

BTW, you will need to patch before rooting.

I am on Dell using Win7 32bit.
[Defy General] Xeoaga:
I have the drivers installed. And also it is on storage mode.. sut lr is just not recognizing my device.. i tried all the 3 ports i have.. but it wont recognize my device
[Defy General] mike8333:
Make sure ADB is good.

and Mass Storage selected.

I can confirm tat SUT LR in Win7 32bit and 64bit will work as long as the latest Motorola driver is installed properly

To root 2.3 you dont need to put your device in mass storage

just connect it and place your phone in table

To root ICS you need to put your device in mass storage

You can root easily after revert back to GB

For that one reason am downgrading to GB will get the file and revert back.. I really miss a CWM recovery in this phase.

Guys i have a CWM prepared for our device.. but can someone tell me an easy method to flash it?
[Defy General] QuaziRandom:
Wait...

How did you "prepare" it? Using the builder script? Then, DO NOT flash it with ANY method onto your XT yet. I believe the CWM recovery produced is yet not perfect...

Is the Defy XT 535 the same as the Defy XT running on Straight Talk/Sprint?
[Defy General] ejlmd:
No. Republic Wireless has the Defy XT557 (single band 1900 mhz) and Straight Talk, US Cellular and Net10 have the Defy XT556 (dual band with 800/1900 mhz).

At least the Defy XT557 and I suspect the XT556 are very locked down and AFAIK no one has published the means to obtain root with these devices or even discover the MSL. I've been trying for several weeks now with the XT557.

[Defy General] Srika:
Increasing internal memory by deodexing stock rom

Your Device Must be rooted for this process

You need android-sdk installed in your computer OR adb with fastboot installed

You need to install latest busybox in your phone

download this file

xUltimate ( Download )

PROCEDURE:

1.Connect your phone to computer.(Make sure you have select USB debugging in Settings>Applications>Development)

2.Extract xUltimate.zip and Launch Main.exe

3.If everything goes well xUltimate should recognize the phone and make a connection.You now should see a list of options.

4.Select option (1) pull /system/app. Wait until it complete.

5.Select option (2)pull /system/framework. Wait until it complete.

6.Then select option (3) Deodex /system/app. Wait until it complete.

[If encounter any error. Find out which .odex file is it. Then remove .odex file from folder origi_app in xUltimate folder]

7.Then select option (4)Deodex /system/framework. Wait until it complete.

8.Now Exit from xUltimate.

9.Put the phone in USB mass storage.

10.Go to xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.

11.Now get out from USB storage mode.

12.Open Command prompt.

(Then goto platform-tools folder in android sdk folder .OR where you have placed adb and fastboot Right click on free space in folder while pressing shift key.Select open command prompt here.(windows 7)

Now enter commands. )

or else use command prompt and change to adb files folder(windowsxp)

13.Enter following codes.

(if you are using adb shell in su for the first time, keep phone screen on. After entering "su" code, super user request prompt in phone. Press allow )

Code:

adb shell

su

stop

mount -o rw,remount /system/ /system/

cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/

rm /system/app/*.odex

cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

rm /system/framework/*.odex

mount -o ro,remount /system/ /system/

reboot

14.Now you have deodexed rom. your internal memory will be increased by deodexing the stock rom i have deodexed the internal memeory or stock rom js took 90 mb instead of 220 mb

Any link I click on results in a popup that asks me to login (I think). I think I registered on the site, but I haven't received a confirmation email till now. How do I download this file?

Any help would be appreciated.

[Defy General] hackergnome:

If the phone has fastboot

then use following command to flash the recovery

[Defy General] Srika:
Flashing recovery.img

[/QUOTE]

Hey did you cook it by using koush's builder.clockworkmod.com Or by using linux script???

If you did it either ways we need to unlock bootloader r else have to made onother custom recovery.

Use the below method to flash the recovery

Download flash_image file----------- you can find it in xda posts

After that place it in your sd card then by using root explorer place it in /system/bin Folder

Place your recovery.img in the root folder of your sdcard

Then enter terminal emulator in phone and enter the below code

Code

su

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

After that reboot if you cooked recvoery in the correct way you may succed,if not you will get bootloader screen saying 301 error

Try and reply
[Defy General] urfrndsandy:

[Defy General] WalkerGFX:
So I ordered my Motorola Defy XT (XT555c) and it doesn't look like I'll be able to root or apply ROMs any time soon because of the MSL, at least that's from what I have read. I would have went for the GSM version, but GSM is pretty non-existent where I live. (South Western Wisconsin Area)

The xt555c was recently launched on Straight Talk and runs off the Sprint network. I ordered mine on the 8th and awaiting it's arrival tomorrow the 11th. (It's now 1:05am) If anyone has any news for the xt555c as far as rooting let me know, I'm interested... I just am not expecting anything anytime soon. It seems this lock is unique to each device and without getting it from the carrier/motorola it's impossible(?).

I still can't wait for it to arrive. Pretty excited and will be my first Motorola Android.

[Defy General] rkrpxz:
With assistance from neokragu, I have successfully managed to install ICS on my Defy XT and still learning to use it and play with it.

A few questions for those who have tried it and are happy with it.

1. Is there any way to make the 'Face Unlock' feature work?

2. What is the basic difference between Defy XT & Defy+ with respect to rooting / modding? For example, if I want to update my Defy XT to a Jelly Bean mod, I see that there are different ROMS for Defy and Defy+. Does the Defy XT belong to the Defy family or the Defy+ family or neither of them?

3. I still see occasional remnants of Chinese characters which worries me. There was an app on the home screen which would fetch the local weather (or time, I don't know which). It was prompting me to enter a city to search for. So, I typed 'Bangalore' and pressed Enter. It showed me a search result in Chinese! Ultimately, I ended up deleting the widget from the home screen, but I don't know what else is lurking around the corner.

4. Can we trust the people who coded / developed / programmed the ROM? If we install all kinds of personal apps like FB, G+, FourSquare, corporate mail accounts, etc, can we be sure that the developers haven't put some malicious code that transmits all our information to them?

Hi all members!

I am new member in this forum.

I would like to ask which procedure I need for 4.0.4 ? I have an new Defy XT535, with Gingerbread system.

And if modifyed it to 4.0.4 Can I choose Hungarian language in menu? If only English available?

If I will not like 4.0.4 can I downgrade to original Gingerbread?

I did'nt modify any android system, I'm sorry if I ask basic things!

Thank you !
[Defy General] yoanfadly:
i also nu member in this forum. but i've already upgraded my XT535 to ICS 4.0.4, but then i revert back to GB.

there is no Hungarian Languange in 4.0.4 version. theres many exception in 4.0.4 so u may read the causes in this forum.

maybe u suppose to waiting for orginal firmware update for motorola.
[Defy General] chelsy75:
HI!

Thanks to answer. I see.

Why did you change back GB? Had you got a problem with 4.0.4.?

If it is possible, please tell me how.

Thank you!

I will never upgrade a GB device to ICS or JB. the loss is simply too great. I run JB on my S3 because I need too or I would put GB on that if I could too.

the lose of UMS access is intolerable for what I use these devices for. MTP really does suck that bad if you move a lot of images and other files back and forth on these devices.

Steps for extraction below:

1. Extract cg2.smg from ICS .sbf file using motoandrioddepacker

2. Extract mbn files from cg2.smg using AndroidCG2Parser

3. Open systemsec.mbn with hex editor, goto end of file then search previous "FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF" remove everything after the end of the "FF's" using hex editor. (Thanks to gani @ se~nse)

4. Extract systemsec.mbn using Unyaffs

5. Browse Extracted ROM files..

I also have managed to rip the kernel image with dsixdas kitchen:

Install kitchen: when your setup then run the kitchen, hit 0 for advanced options - then press whichever one says extract kernel from boot.img then kitchen rips the kernel image from CG2.smg, i also renamed CG2.smg to boot.img

Thats because the rom is signed, and the bootloader is locked i think guys. Flash without sigs after building and u get bricked well that my understanding. U have to repack it with the signatures. Theres a thread about resigning the CG file when re-packing it but its for tegra2. I think its similar if i can find it ill link it up.

Next on the list i cant seem to get souncloud working, it starts up fine but wont play music, alogcat is throwing up libcore.io errors, so i tried the CM9 one. It then will load in the pull down drawer properly and the errors go about libcore, but new ones are thrown up, i gotta do some more log reading it still wont play music.

Also id like to hack the driver volume up a bit on the MSM7627a driver, it should be able to be increased by using the same mod as the one for the desire z. Even though thats a msm7xx30 or something.
