Phew what a detailed protocol. Thank you so much will try it tomorroow
[Defy Android Development] rob-t:
Thanks for this! So your ROM is downgradable if we follow these instructions? I don't want to lose downgradability.

Update0: You really need to add that if you don't remove the battery FAST enough and your phone DOES go into Tenfar recovery, it will brick your phone. Because that is where I'm at right now. :mad:

I'm trying to start over, but I can't get anywhere except Stock recovery (which doesn't respond to any commands on the OK Button - wierd) and the USB Bootloader, which doesn't help because if I go through the whole process without doing the factory reset, I can't get to Tenfar's recovery boot after flashing the devtree only sbf - I just get a blank screen.

So I'm pretty much effed. :confused:

Update1: no wait, the Stock recovery is working, it's just going ... really ... really .. slow. Hope my battery doesn't run out before I get the factory reset done.

Update2: Ok yeah, still not working. Tried three times now. Can't get to Tenfar Custom Recovery after flashing the devtree sbf no matter what I do. If I leave it plugged in after flashing devtree and allow RSD lite to reboot the phone, I get "please manually power up this phone" and a blank screen. If I reboot manually, I just get the motorola logo forever.

Update3: I am going to try a different ROM entirely and maybe I can get a working phone before work tomorrow...

Update4: Yeah, your instructions were backwards. I should have noticed that right away, but didn't notice until I tried Higgsy's 2.2.1 Froyo build. You need to flash the boot+devtree sbf AFTER you restore the Adlxmod F4D v2.00 folder image - i.e. follow these steps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=937319

If you do it in the right order, this ROM works fine and is actually pretty cool (first boot takes a long time of course so be patient.)
[Defy Android Development] Darkcaptain:
THX Adlxmud for you custom rom! your description is great...

But 1 question, the optional patch (Dark-Bar) is work on other ROMS for example Rom 3.4.2 UK?

Tomorrow maybe try it :)

Thank you!
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
will try it rite now, coming from chinese sbf, never flashed 2.51. will post feedback tomorrow.
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
hmm good question dude dark bar would look awesome going to try it as im board let you know if it works

edit tried it, it works but imo doesn't suite stock rom
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
If you haven't flashed any UNdowngrabable rom, you should be able to flash this one. After flashing this rom using my procedure, you will NOT loose downgradability. In other words, yes, my rom is downgradable.

If you land in Tenfar recovery you haven't followed my instructions that say:

That means that, anyway you land in Tenfar recovery, just reboot your phone into USB Bootloader Init mode again to flash the boot-devtree.sbf.

If you get a non-booting device at some step, try to just reboot your phone into USB Bootloader Init mode again to flash the boot-devtree.sbf at this step.

Well, Stock Recovery is a bit tricky to use... In my particular case I use the vol up/down to select menu entry, and I tap on [ok] (I usually have to tap several time to have the [ok] actually do something. Once it starts, yes, the Wipe is very slow! Like 1-2 minutes.

That is weird... Anyway I'll double check later, but it's what I have written on my notes, and I've followed my notes a lot of times, so I guess this order worked for me at least.

I guess there is nothing wrong in flashing the boot-devtree sbf at the end, it should work the same, so I have updated the instruccions here. Maybe it reduce the problems. Anyone here with the same issue? If so, from what rom do you come from?

Also, one more thing: if you come from another UK or US based froyo rom, you should be able to skip the whole procedure and just restore the nandroid backup.
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
ill give that ago running uk 2.2
[Defy Android Development] friscoltu959:
Nice rom, will feedback you...
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
can confirm that if you already running 2.2 all you need to do is run the nadroid back up and all should be good btw dude nice rom
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
First of all thanks for this rom! I am expecting my Defy over the mail by monday or tuesday and up till now this rom is the most appealing. :)

I have one question. How do you prevent motoblur installation? Is that simply a matter of skipping at first boot? Do you have plans to make a deblurred version of your rom?
[Defy Android Development] fabianowerner:
coming from a 2.2 Chinese rom, it stuck on motoblur animation and didnt boot, i followed each letter from the instructions , no luck on this yet.
[Defy Android Development] S1dew1nder:
that happened to me pulling the battery sorted it and it booted fine after that
[Defy Android Development] racca:
i think native boot+devtree would be better, so here it is.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
I also had this one, but as the US one was working correctly I sticked with it. I have posted what I have tested.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Boot loop in Motoblur Animation?

If you have Boot loop in Motoblur Animation, please try this:

- Boot your Defy into Stock Recovery (Power + Volume Down button)

- Tap in the bottom right corner of the screen to get into the menu

- Select Wipe Data, then press OK

- Reboot phone into USB Bootloader Init mode (Power + Volume Up button)

- Flash the boot+devtree sbf provided by me using latest RSD Lite (4.9) & latest Motorola drivers (4.8)

Then reboot. How does it go?
[Defy Android Development] rob-t:
Thanks, yeah I was coming from Eclair 2.34, so I should be downgradable. Can confirm that the camera works fine on this ROM.

Sadly, I have the dreaded "Unable to open connection to server" problem with Android 2.2 so no more exchange email.

Update: Ran a quadrant benchmark on my phone with this ROM, got 1299, so pretty good! I haven't removed any apps, and also added SetVsel and DroidWall. Overclocking in SetVsel was set to: 1000mhz/52 600mhz/36 300mhz/26. About the same speed as I had going in Eclair.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Missing WIpe!

There was a missing step (to Wipe all) in my instructions, sorry. It's fixed on the first post.
[Defy Android Development] rob-t:
Hmmm, I'm not sure having both email apps installed is a good idea. Once you get past setup in either app (took about 20 tries but finally it connected to the server and completed setup), either app will both force-close as soon as they are launched. Were you actually set up an exchange account during testing of this rom?
[Defy Android Development] add.thebad:
Will give this a try, Is market working?

also can i flash the data.img from my backup to restore my apps and data?
[Defy Android Development] crazyVII:
2.51 working?

working on 2.51?

such info would be really great on the first post :)

+thanks :=) (i think ill try ;=))
[Defy Android Development] deviusdragger:
Also you should put on there, if your coming from a stock tmobile defy with the 3.60 update, to not do it. This process killed my phone. So now i have to flash to the tmo leaked rom in order to get it to boot up. Hopefully i was the only one this happened to.
[Defy Android Development] netrider01:
Does anyone have a 800 / 900 / 1000 mhz quadrant screen for me plz?
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Sorry about that. Did u recover the phone with the US Sbf?

I've posted some more info here atm. Not much though.
[Defy Android Development] rob-t:
Hey so yeah, I've tried several other Froyo roms and exchange works fine... You should probably pull one of the email apps from this rom...
[Defy Android Development] deviusdragger:
Yeah I'm all good now. Just had to flash the T-Mobile leaked froyo and then follow your steps. Running good my friend. Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] pjcons:
Concerning the 3G fix for 850.1900 is that to get 3g in areas using 850Mhz? Sorry I'm guessing yes. Good move!

Also if it's based on UK 2.2 rom why flash chinese sbf first up?
[Defy Android Development] deviusdragger:
From my experience, you can flash chinese if your on any defy rom except the updated T-Mobile stock rom. If your on a T-Mobile updated stock rom, flash the leaked T-Mobile froyo rom and then follow these steps. As far as the 3g fix, I tried it on my T-Mobile defy and it completely killed my signal. Had to use the itzfun or what ever its called apk to get my 3g to work, but even at that, my 3g is slower than the 3g on my. Vibrant or mytouch4g. Don't know, hopefully we can get some help on that.
[Defy Android Development] crazyVII:
messed up, black screen, white led - omfg^^

hey guys, as far as i can tell, dont flash this on 2.51 ...

i did everything according to your description...

came until flashing chineese stock rom^^ .... came back to the pc.

defy was off, with white led running (was fully charged, so battery is okay)

i tried everything, volume up + power, didnt work, rsd lite can recognize. nothing here...

maybe someone can give me advices? no chance here so far to get it recognized in rsd lite.

thanks - ill start another thread, bringing this topic up :)

bricked the phone?

edit:omfg guys, now theres a warning on the front page^^ wasnt there when i tried to flash :) thx.... but how to fix?
[Defy Android Development] Khrushy:
Good build. Have just switched to this one from Higgsy's because of your black notification bar ^^

Much appreciated.
[Defy Android Development] deviusdragger:
I fixed my white led problem by flashing the leaked T-Mobile froyo rom.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
I doesn't prevent Motoblur installation. Motoblur will be installed, but you use it if you want. I may do a deblurred (or a rom based off a Motorola deblurred base) in the future.

You may be right about the incompatibility. I couldn't test the added app with a Exchange Server (I don't have access to any). I usually add this app to my adlxmod roms, and I never got any problem reported. Atm, you can remove it if it causes issues.

Market is working (at least for me, as described in the OP and shown on the screenshot attached) :p

I recommend you don't restore your data.img of you could get a bootloop, or weird issues.

Have you tried using the "3g fix" files from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=923936 ?

You should be able to recover the phone flashing the US T-Mo froyo leak (Tmo 2.2.1-3.4.2-107). Then you can run my procedure, skipping any step that involve flashing a sbf.
[Defy Android Development] Helgaiden:
Sorry if this is explained already but maybe i didnt understand if it was explicitly stated...anyways my brother's Defy is on a ROM based on 2.34. Can i flash this onto it following your instructions from the first page without any issues or is there some prep work of some type to be done first?
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Instructions updated

I've rewritten the instructions in the OP taking into account two cases. I hope it will make it easier. If you detect anything wrong please tell me asap.

I've also added a link to alternative swype including other languages, like Portuguese BR,...

Please, can anyone confirm that when you boot your phone you see Adlxmod's custom splash screen before Motorola's bootanim? (not on first boot, only 2nd boot and after)
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
On my phone i cant connect to phone operator (no signal) and the boot animation does not show up.

EDIT: Erro to install Swype-OEM-Defy_JORLA_U3_6.14.5-signed.zip. Update script erro.
[Defy Android Development] moconab:
My phone is 2.51

It work and it's great. Thanks a lot.

If I only do the "Flash boot&devtree (fixes cam flash)", the phone is keeping reboot.

After I tried to "Flash boot&devtree (fixes cam flash)", then it boot successfully.

That's the way to install the rom on my 2.51 phone.
[Defy Android Development] crazyVII:
thanks for your proposal ;) but rsd lite doesnt recognize the phone yet.

i'm going to be mcgyver right now :) so thumbs up and stay tuned ;=)

thanks :) im going to search the sbf first. (any suggestion where i can find)
[Defy Android Development] Helgaiden:
awesome, thanks for the update. 3g and everything working for US T-mo folks? anyone from US try it and not have any reception/3g/etc issues?
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Where are you from? On what rom did you have good signal? Did you wipe all as said?

Thanks, I'll have to look into the splash not showing thing.

For the swype error, I think I have fixed the 3 zips, so download it again please. Same link.
[Defy Android Development] add.thebad:
cheers every thing seems to be working great for me! i came from higgsys 3.4 its all very nice and smooth
[Defy Android Development] psicodelico:
I am from brazil and using jboogie Orange Rom I have a good signal reception. Im gonna download the swype keyboard :-)

[Defy Android Development] mrfab14163:
Is the German language included?

Thanks. Sounds really good.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Yes

These are some command line utilities that can be handy (dev).

Could u try flashing freq_F_PL_342_131-900-2100-signed.zip from http://modmymobile.com/forums/639-m...ma-850-900-1700-1900-2100mhz.html#post4059261.

Same advice, look at http://modmymobile.com/forums/639-m...ma-850-900-1700-1900-2100mhz.html#post4059261.

Until I fix that, To install manually my boot logo, please run:

[Defy Android Development] gambitvbi:
Hi, sorry for my english. I'm trying your rom, but I have a question. If I want to try another rom via nandroid I have to flash the devtree another time? thanks

thanks, looks like the phone really is dead, doesnt respond to anything. doesnt come up to anything which allow to be recognized in rsd lite.

i already prepared to send it back to the reseller.

if you got any more tips :=) please feel free.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Ok I am so stupid. :( Received my Defy today and in all enthousiasm I jumped into flashing a custom rom. But despite reading for days I still manage to brick my phone. What happened is that I swapped case 1 and 2 which means while heaving a 2.51 rom out-of-the-box I flashed the Chinese 2.2 rom. Now the phone won't even turn on any more. Also when I try to charge it the screen stays black and nothing happens. Guess this is a true brick then... :(
[Defy Android Development] crazyVII:
hey, i was in the total same situation, (i AM) if you find anything out, please let me know.

also created a thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=942601

maybe at least some of the tipps work for you.

i already requested a repair ticket from my reseller and prepared the phone yesterday. im worried to say, nothing helped recognize the phone in rsd lite again.

all the best && and in german people say,

"at least: share bad-luck is better than bad luck alone"

sry mate. :=/
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Thanks! I'm downloading the official 2.51 rom now since indeed rsdlite still detects the phone. Hopefully it works.

Does someone however have a fast mirror? Here it still takes 3 hours from now and I fear the battery will be dead by then...
[Defy Android Development] crazyVII:
contact me @ skype i can send it to you... pm :=)
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
^ Awaiting your reply. :)

Pulled the battery for now. Don't want to go macgyver unless absolutely necessary.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Ok I think I am extremely lucky because I managed to revive the phone with the official 2.51 rom. The screen remained black but rsdlite still detected the phone and right in the beginning of the flash process first the led switched on and a few seconds later the screen came on to. This already seemed promising and when it finally booted I actually cheered. :P

Funny thing is, first it didn't have motoblur and now it does. Bought it in Thailand and must be the same official blurless rom that someone else reported here (don't remember who). Unfortunately I cannot make a nand backup of it anymore...

Now on to acquiring root but this time with a little bit more patience. :D

Had to do this anyway to get out of the boot loop. Now it's booting just fine so at least with a 2.51 rom you also have to flash the boot_devtree.sbf.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Ok here is something weird. This rom is working great except the phone does not find the gsm network. When I search manually it only finds 2 out of 3 available networks and my network is the one he doesn't find. Could this be a radio problem? It has nothing to do with UMTS/3G because it's all GSM. UMTS is unavailable where I live. Checked with another phone and that one finds all 3.

Ok I found out that my home network AIS broadcasts on 900 MHz while the other two use 1800 MHz. So the Defy seems unable to find GSM 900 networks. Any idea what is going on here?
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Thanks, instructions updated to take that into account.

I would try to flash a 3g fix (although your problem isn't really 3g if i understand correctly). The fixes includes gsm files too.
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Tried the UK 3G fix (freq_F_UK_342_117-900-2100-signed.zip) but it had no effect. I disabled UMTS but still the same problem. Everytime I do a manual search for networks it finds only the twoo 1800 MHz networks. Cannot find anything even remotely similar to my problem out there. I'll try another sim card tomorrow, one for a 1800 MHz network, and see if that works.

I try one more thing now before I go to bed and that is flashing the Chinese 3G fix as mine actually came from there according to the label.

*edit*

Woohoo that last one actually worked. Sweet! :) After many hours of tweaking and trying I finally have a fully functional phone. Thanks everyone for all the help!

*edit 2*

Well again something weird has happened. After applaying the black bar patch a lot of processes in Android give an error. Have to start all over I'm afraid. But at least it's not a brick. :p

I had lots of problems with Win7 and rsd lite; in the mean time battery got depleted and i was unable to flash.. and had to do the dangerous trick of the other thread using another usb cable to short it with the battery.... follow every step of the way because a single mistake can mess things a lot and i recommend flashing with 50% battery or more, because if it gets depleted it wont charge neither let you flash!

great job thanks!

Well done, but how about noobs?

I recently switched to android on my defy, (white version, UK, JRDNEM-U3-2.21.0, Unlocked). BUT NO FLASH JUST LIKE MY iPHONE.

The only reason I am interested in flashing, is that I am addicted to it, I mean aside from the need for flash.

I wanna thank everubody who puts so much time aand effort to enlighten dumbs like me.

Is there any possibility that anybody can film their flashing procedure through out so it would be a little easier for people like me to follow. What does that mean that the whole procedure is backward.

Y did you put it in backward order, and why did you refer us to completely different tutorial on page 2?

as I said one video tutorial works a whole book.

Thank u my brozers and sizters.
[Defy Android Development] Kribou:
High Adlx,

Nice try, thanks, I flashed it like a charm everything worked with small issues and one more serious :

-When booting first time, if you choose Motoblur, you can't escape and use Motoblur things like originally, so I took LauncherPro which is awesome and smooth.

-Some APN are missing, I am using a MVNO and mine in france was missing (easy to fix looking around on Internet)

-Don't see any Adlxmod splash ...

-More Serious, now everything (I tested ;) ) work but the Gallery and from time to time settings menu, the phone hangs on and then the screen turn black without allowing me to do anything...(In certain tries, I heard the voice command asking me to say something huhhhh)

Gallery or Gallery 3D is working one out of ten times and when it sticks, I have to pull out the battery...

Any idea or recommendation ?
