[Defy Android Development] ustrucx:
Hey Pedroh, i saw that fw version on Config>About>JORLA_U3_6.36.1

Boot loadert is 09.10.

This is a brazilian defy from TIM SP.

Thanks ;)

PS: The Device not found happens for me after step 4, so im using the right driver since i can connect to adb to push the superuser.apk and the other files, after it attempts to use the exploit is when things go weird. Im pretty sure files changed name/path and thats wy the phone stays in a endless loop.
[Defy Android Development] pedrodh:
In step 4 have you tried to pull the cable out, wait a few seconds, and connect it again? Also, is your defy set to connect with "charge only" ?
[Defy Android Development] ustrucx:
Just tried again to make sure of the things you pointed out, still no root happening here, stuck on step 4.
[Defy Android Development] Fuzorx:
z4root wouldn't work for me neither the manual way. then i found Superclickroot click root :) rooted my motorola defy 2.1 in like 20 secs
[Defy Android Development] Fuzorx:
Use Superoneclick :-)
[Defy Android Development] diamond_4g64:
YEAH!!!! I finally got root on my defy! I was waiting for a way having tried z4root 1.3.0 and super one click 1.7 but does not root on version 2.2.1 so i tried super 1.9 and it works!
[Defy Android Development] Souldier_:
Removed

File got removed :(
[Defy Android Development] Kamal_halder:
Can you upload the zip 1.9 Superone click As the file seems has been removed.
[Defy Android Development] pedrodh:
Changed file mirror, uploaded new one to XDA directly from the original thread.

Help

I am trying to do this on my Moto Defy+ (MB526)

I get to this step

Then when i get to

it says devidce is ofline
[Defy Android Development] nilsja:
xiaokai, did you manage to root your defy+?
[Defy Android Development] ngh92:
the "exploit.bin" file is not in the zip file.. anyone having it for me?

Using the z4root app i can't get root acces eighter:

- 4ext recovery forces stop

- Superuser (superuser.apk) is not working (black screen) and forces stop.

anyone have a solution?
[Defy Android Development] hackergnome:
use super one click...
[Defy Android Development] mckarty:
root whit super one click is a lot easier and you don't have to install abd and play whit commands, on my opinion and experience
[Defy Android Development] caiowatanabe:
i'm getting a "Unable to chmod exploit.bin: No such file or directory" at step 4, can anyone help me?
[Defy Android Development] pedrodh:
This exploit is very old. Use SuperOneClickRoot instead, it works well on both Defy and Defy Plus. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682

Just rooted my defy with superoneclick 2.2, download, unzip, launch, root, done.
[Defy Android Development] MobiDroid™:
Hello all,

i have downloaded SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse,

and tried several methods, but all to resulting into the same "hang at step 7" issue.

the methods include:

USB debug on/off trick

removing memory-card entirely from phone

i tried booting into recovery-mode, but couldn't find that, instead i got something called bootloader.

but in that mode nothing happened at all.

So what am i doing wrong, why isn't i working for me straight as for others it has?

My phone, non-modded:

Defy+ 4.5.1-134_DFP-231

Android 2.3.6
[Defy Android Development] joydeep1985:
you cannot root DFP-231 using superoneclick . It doesnt work on DFP-231,188 etc series sbfs . Instead use Root DFP-231 link go through the 1st post and root it .
[Defy Android Development] Chamelleon:
I updated my thread about rooting it. Full instruction and working links. DFP-188, DFP-231, DFP-2311 BL7 Finally Rooted
[Defy Android Development] MobiDroid™:
thanks, rooted now.
[Defy Android Development] defmetal96:
Have you disabled the anti-virus on your PC? I found that AVG causes superoneclick to hang at step #7 unless disabled as it has a false positive
[Defy Android Development] pgreed:
:) very kind but very late to answer to that. Useless.

Why you say that, was only like 10 months late! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngkkv:
Hi all, after updating to official froyo, jpa... Non root ed phone.I've encountered a few undesired changes.

Firstly, a drop in batt life.I'm unsure what's causing it, is there a way to find out exactly why? Like is there an app that specifically monitors your app?

I experienced a 20% drop in batt every night when I go to sleep. When I was on eclair, my batt is only about 1-3% drop through the night.

Swype: I can't edit my wrong words as fast now(by double tapping) it takes 5 seconds on average for the word choice window to appear. I want it to appear as fast as it was on eclair.I suspect the cause is on the new swype is this new feature of a blue text selection tool. I rarely use it and find it redundant.

And it seems that programmes force close more often, generally.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlorange:
Clear data cache at recovery and the apps you find in 'running services' from application management.

Mine took a while to settle in. if no improvement I would root using z4 root app from the market, backup using titanium backup then factory reset. Only restore user apps and data Not settings
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyiori:
best is reset factory setting and your case will be solved.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngkkv:
i can use oclf to root first too and run a backup right instead of z4?

Where is this data cache you are referring to?
[Defy Android Development] nitewalkergr:
Nice job! This worked perfectly. We now just need the tmo us FW. I'm kind of iffy about messing with my phone much more until I have a failsafe.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Whats the benefit of the T-Mobile US Firmware - some kind of extra functionality? If we could get it, we could flash by this method and flash back if we didn't like it anyways I suppose.

In theory this method is a failsafe tho because if you mess any thing up you can get back to a different firmware. I must say I personally would like to get my hands on the original T-Mobile UK .sbf, just in case I wanted to put it back to its original state for returns/repair, so if anyone has found it (I haven't yet) please let me know.
[Defy Android Development] nitewalkergr:
If a tmo us user flashes with the uk FW they lose 3g.

A tmo us or just generic us fw would give us the clean sweep option while keeping our 3g.
[Defy Android Development] pedrogamo:
Can I use the Uk Firm for a Vodafone Spain Defy??
[Defy Android Development] dj_destruction:
Hi Higgsy, long time no see! Guess its cos you sold your Hero/G2 Touch so you have no need to visit htcdevscene, Its dead there now a days lol. I just got my Defy from T-Mobile UK. I here your after the T-Mobile UK Defy firmware? and I havent rooted or touched the firmware on mine at all, all i've done is charged it up and used as my day to day phone. If you know of a way to pull the firmware from the phone i will gladly upload it for you, if its even possible?

P.s. still got my Hero/G2 Touch not sure if i wanna sell the lil work horse yet lol, what are they selling for these days?
[Defy Android Development] Cesar Pipes:
Yes, I have a simfree defy, and this is my versión. Same version for France, UK, Spain, etc
[Defy Android Development] pedrogamo:
Thanks!! I did it. Now my Defy is debranded. Bye Vodafone!
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Now then DJD!

Na we need the .sbf file for it but it no biggy at the moment. Get it rooted mate - easiest way is to download z4root from the market - works a treat and roots in like 10 secs lol.

Stopped going on htcdevscene for a number of reasons, firstly i could never get on the site and secondly i felt the way it was run was very inconsistent.

Just sold my Hero - they are going for between 80-120 on ebay the top end is for brand new boxed. I have just sold mine to a mobile recycle place for £103. This phone is different gravy to the hero for sure.

Anyway mate look forward to seeing you around again:)
[Defy Android Development] milesg:
Thanks for this guide Higgsy, very easy to follow even for a noob like me. :)

I have now said goodbye to Vodafone's crap a mere 20 minutes after opening the box with my shiny new DEFY in that was delivered today.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
No probs - Gone be the dirty network custom apps and splash screens!!:D
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
Done too. Thank you.
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
EDIT: Just reflashed and then calibrated the compass. Seems to be working now. Sorry for the unnecessary message.

Ok, having taken the phone out since I got rid of the Vodafone stuff, I've discovered that the GPS is no longer working. I've got GPS Test on it and it only sees one satellite where before it saw a load. I'm going to reload the firmware now, but does anyone have any ideas?
[Defy Android Development] dj_destruction:
Higgsy what are the benefits of rooting and flashing the generic unbranded software apart from getting rid of the t-mobile rubbish?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Hmm strange My GPS is fine, locks on in like 5 secs, maybe try rebooting with GPS switched on, if you haven't already done so.

DJD,

No real benefits apart from getting rid of any tmobile crap, there isn't much bloatware in the tmobile uk build anyways. I just like generic lol. And as for rooting - please tell me that question is joke surely as a seasoned veteran you know what that is geezer :p
[Defy Android Development] dj_destruction:
I know rooting opens up a world of goodies but there arent any goodies for this phone yet in the way of ROMS, at least thats what i can gather so far lol. Can it be over clocked and JITenabled yet? after rooting it of course, sorry im being lazy n not google-ing lol.

Plus for my totally blonde moment if i flash the generic uk firmware would it still mean i could get the over the air 2.2 update when it is released by motorola before t-mobile release their bloatware version?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
JIT can be enabled - its not stable imo - I tried it before, gonna have a better look at it.

i would expect you will be able to get the generic 2.2 update, to be fair, I think we will be flashing roms by that time anyways

Anyway stop being a ***** and get it rooted:D
[Defy Android Development] dj_destruction:
OI lol,

Just downloaded z4root will put it on my memory card n get root tomorrow me thinks.

p.s z4root is no longer on the market, found the z4root.apk in a thread on here tho luckily lol.
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
Ok, now I do have a problem. I've flashed the non-branded rom and very happy with it, but my in-call speaker has failed this morning. This seems to be a common problem with the Defy and I suspect it needs replacing or repairing, but I need to put back the branded rom to have the phone in warranty, don't I? How do I even begin to go about that?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
You can't unless you can find the vodafone .sbf sorry mate it was mentioned at the top of the post.

They probably wouldn't know anyway, just deny all knowledge if they say anything.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
No

sent from my mind using telepathy
[Defy Android Development] darkzorn:
thanks for the quick reply..

so only an unlock code from the carrier can do the trick?

are there any software or other method i can use to unlock it?
[Defy Android Development] Piaer:
Nope, but you could try this free method:

[Defy Android Development] tubbyman:
Sorry for bringing back an old thread but i'm a bit stuck. I have been trying to put my phone back in a stock configuration from CM7.2 but having no joy. I downloaded the drivers and RSDLite 5.7 and all seemed to be going well. Flashed it with Vodafone UK 3.4.2 sbf but I just get stuck in a boot loop with the Motorola M on the screen. I tried to do a power and vol down boot to see if I could clear out anything that maybe causing a problem but no joy, it just seems to hang at . Have flashed it with other sbf but of course my phone was 2.5.1 or later.

Any suggestions?
[Defy Android Development] kadopt:
You have to flash a sbf that uses the same kernel that you currently have. Remember that if you flashed an higher sbf you can't go back to a lower version. Try other sbf's.
[Defy Android Development] ela1103:
Higgsy thank you

Also I forgot to say, if you uninstall the drivers, and rsd lite, reboot, then use a program called usbdeview (free just google it, helped me out a few times) to delete all usb devices that related to the defy, then reboot again. now install the driver package, then rsd lite and reboot again. Put the phone into bootloader then connect to the PC - it should then install driver, then once the driver has installed and only then open rsd lite.

Thank u very much friend my phone is rebirth

Higgsy thank you
[Defy Android Development] thats:
Guys I need some help. I bought a defy and I wanted to bring it back to original Tim italy firmware. I followed all the steps and did it with RSDlite 5.6 but at the end it say it's gonna reboot but nothing seems to happen. Doesn't start. But RSDlite still connects to it!!!!HHHHHEEEEELLLLLPPPPPPP
[Defy Android Development] SuperSkill:
If boot loop you need to enter stock recovery, long time since I did it now,so Google it. Remember you must have battery power and when the yellow exclamation figure appears its a simple button configuration and you can wipe/factory reset phone and wipe cache. This is a typical cm to stock issue, solution are also in one of janedrian treads :)

Sent from the new smoothly LGP990
[Defy Android Development] thats:
Using volume down and power doesn't give me a sign at all...And now my pc doesn't even recognize connected phone with rsdlite. White light of charging battery is the only sign!!!
[Defy Android Development] michel1968:
Probably battery empty, you have to charge it first, i bought a cheap charger from ebay to solve this. After it's looking for the correct sbf. Took me hours to find the right one.
[Defy Android Development] uphall:
No Boot after flash.

I'm trying to debrand an O2 defy. I followed the tute and it flashes fine but when it gets to rebooting device, but nothing happens.

I tried the recommended firmware in the tute both blur and deblur with the same results.

The phone can still connect RSDlite but apart from that, nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
Yeah, I knew the risks. Typical that the speaker goes less than 24 hours after I made the change. I was using the headphones last night and apparently that seems to be something that can cause this problem.

I think you're right that they probably won't notice. Fingers crossed.
[Defy Android Development] legend921:
So I did this unbrand flash. I lost my data connectivity. I am trying to do the 3g fix but its not letting me. Is there a way around this?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
If you are in the US then it will. You are probably best asking the question where the fix is posted on modmymobile or simply android
[Defy Android Development] dj_destruction:
Im glad i didnt root and flash the debranded software yet cos my ear piece speaker doesnt work any more i only got the phone thursday lol, getting a newone delivered wednesday thank god lol
[Defy Android Development] tim440:
If only I'd been so wise. Though someone on a Spanish forum said that as I flashed officially released software it shouldn't have invalidated my warranty. Hopefully that's true or they just won't notice when I take it back tomorrow.
[Defy Android Development] dj_destruction:
you should be ok as its a hardware fault ;)
[Defy Android Development] Matschke:
Hi, I have a Motorola Defy branded for T-Mobile Austria with simlock for that operator.

Does the unbranded ROM also delete the simlock on that phone ?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
no it will not remove the network lock
[Defy Android Development] Matschke:
thx for the quick answer.

how can I remove the simlock from that phone? I bought 2 codes on the internet, but they didn't work.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
go to your operator and buy it from them, t-mobile uk charge £15, well that was for a Nokia E71 I got from them, I haven't bothered getting the defy unlocked as I don't need to use another network
[Defy Android Development] siukeee:
lucky you! if you can buy an unlock code with just £15, I don't know in Austria but here in Spain if you call to any operator trying to get the imei code then very probably they will laugh at you... even if you already finished the term of a contract it is complicated...

And as far as I know there is no way yet to get unlock codes for the defy.

I have a HTC Diamond which I unlocked it flashing the HardSPL (maybe the radio I cannot remember right now).

Would it be possible doing the same thing at the defy? changing the bootloader or something like that?

Thanks !
[Defy Android Development] jotski:
hi,

is there any polish language rom for Motorola DEFY?
[Defy Android Development] joergherzinger:
Any chance to do all of this without a Windows PC. I havent used Windows for years now and so I don't own one either. Why should I buy a Linux phone and then use some ****ed up OS like win to access it?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
I think you'll have a job finding a linux version of rsdlite 4.9, so probably not.
[Defy Android Development] thewaltz:
Thank you Higgsy.

Probably i'll have to follow your guide, i'm afraid i'll have to flash the .sbf

I accidentally deleted a file in /system/lib/ and now my phone stucks at boot.

I know which file is that, i also did a backup so i have that file saved on my PC.

Before proceeding i'd like to ask: is there any chance / any way to copy the missing file to /system/lib/ avoiding to flash the whole .sbf ?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
only if you can get adb access, which you probably won't be able to. The amount of times I've reflashed is silly, from pratting about/breaking things etc.. once youve got everything set up, you can reflash in about 5 mins lol
[Defy Android Development] thewaltz:
Thanks for your reply

I'm trying with adb.. it says "device not found"

So, it looks like i have to start working with RSDLite.

bye bye to warranty, but, it's great i can even get my phone back :)
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
I wouldnt worry about warranty, if anything happens just deny all knowledge mate and say thats how it came. They can't prove anything really.
[Defy Android Development] thewaltz:
Since i'm going to flash it, i'll do it best :)

How to completely deblurring it?

Did you deleted some files from the .sbf and then repacked it?

Could it be the CG37 file (userdata partition) the one to be deleted?

(reading the skrilax thread at modmymobile, he wrote about pulling off this file but basically i don't know what it does)

thanks
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
all this does is get rid of any carrier branding.
[Defy Android Development] thewaltz:
All done.

Since my defy was already unbranded now it's exactly like the first day.

Thanks Higgsy the steps you posted made it easy!
[Defy Android Development] chaichaoyi:
No Signal after "Debranding"

Hi, some problem here.

I bought an unlocked code and used Defy on ATT network.

It works fine until I followed the posted steps to "debrand" it.

It did reboot after the reflashing, but the signal bar on the upper left corner is now "gray with a red bar". I am only allowed to dial emergency numbers. I am sure it is not SIM card problems because it still works on any other phone.

Any idea what happened? Help MUCH appreciated!
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
As mentioned in the OP, if you are in the US and have flashed the UK .sbf, you will lose 3g.

Try this:

http://www.simply-android.com/discu...-3g-after-flashing-the-wrong-firmware/#Item_5

I will add this to the OP
[Defy Android Development] chaichaoyi:
Well, thanks for your reply.

By "3G", do you mean the current generation of Internet data service?

My current problem is, the phone not only cannot connect to Internet, but also cannot send/receive phone calls and SMS. Only wifi is working.

The signal strength is -90 dcm, 0 asu. What has gone wrong?

Thank you!
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
could still be that, could well be that the UK rom doesn't have the bands your network uses in the US. My advice is to follow the guide, I would expect that will probably resolve the issue as it will restore original bands for the US
[Defy Android Development] creative70:
Thank you very much. Wish there is some way to remove MotoBlur (even though I like it)..coz it makes the menu scrolling awkward..
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Install launcher pro. That way you get silky smooth scrolling and still csn use blur apps
[Defy Android Development] pomah:
Thanks for the guide. For those who wounder I did this from win7 x64, with the x64 usb drivers from moto's homepage and it worked just fine.
[Defy Android Development] chaichaoyi:
Wow, you are amazing!

It did solve the problem and indeed removed the cap on my ATT data transmission rate (from EDGE to H now). GPS is also faster in locking up. No to mention that all the tmo bloatware has gone!

Thank you so much!!!
[Defy Android Development] Jt612:
wait can you still use the motoblur widgets etc using launcher pro?
[Defy Android Development] vermell:
I can't seem to get 3G working again :/

Any help will be appreciated.

EDIT:

Also, after flashing the phone I am no longer able to access my email. Everytime I got to an email it closes and never opens.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
not all, but some. If you get the full version of launcherpro which isn't much money, you can use its own widgets

Hi!

Defy it was my first smartphone, and my first android. I love this phone :)

I have the loop boot problem after trying to enable jit.

I followed your guide, but the pc don´t detect the phone in recovery mode.

I reinstall the drivers several times, no sucess.

I´m not using the original cable (i leave it in home, i only return next week), i lent a cable from a friend how has an LG android phone, he uses this cable to transfer data to the phone.

My primary OS is linux and the lsub and dmesg commands don't show anything, i think even an unsupported device should say something but i´m just a normal user.

The cable should work!

Thanks for this wonderful forum.
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
Are you booting the phone into Recovery OR Bootloader. 2 different things. You state recovery in your post. You need to be in bootloader. Switch phone on while holding volume up.

EDIT: Also you are using windows aren't you? As long as its a micro usb cable it should work - I use a nokia one.
[Defy Android Development] ruiluis:
Hi

Sorry i din´t notice there are two modes, next time i have to read carefully the guide or buy a new lens.

I have my phone back now, thanks and sorry for this dumb question, i start just now in the android world.

Just a shout out of thanks for this thread. It wouldn't feel like I really had a new phone if I hadn't tinkered about with it until it was broken and needed re-flashing from scratch within the first 2 days.
