How to install this zip?

Can anyone please point me in the direction of instructions for a n00b to install this zip? I have copied the zip to my SD card but can't seem to do anything with it now.

My phone is rooted and has SGS Toolbox, System Recovery, ROM Updater, ROM Manager, BusyBox 1.18.4 but can never get any of them to work with the zip. When I do a Recovery Boot in System Recovery my phone screen just stays blank, with the backlight on and I have to pull the battery to reboot.

I had ADB installed and working.

Do I need to install something else, or run some commands before I do a System Recovery boot? How does this differ from a 'Custom Recovery'?
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
You can try the Baseband switcher application (I believe someone posted the link in this thread). It will do the job easily. Some prefer the update.zip method (me), as you can always apply it right after flashing any rom, so you know you'll end with your baseband files.
[Defy Android Development] zencoran:
you have to disable usb debugging before booting into recovery

great work, flashed a couple roms on the defy and could get the Edge network.....after flashing the us zip i got 3g back and even rock the Big H up there now.....lol

good looks bruh...this helped out ALOT.

India uses 900/1800 for GSM and 2100 for 3G

Is this having 2100 too?
[Defy Android Development] dheeraj_hotmale:
Can someone please provide GSM 900/1800 with UMTS(3G) 2100 frequencies?

This is the specification for India and many other countries

Thanks a lot.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Almost all the patches linked in the OP have support for umts 2100 MHz, so they should be fine for you.
[Defy Android Development] cmstlist:
You need to get the files that match the exact hardware of your phone, regardless of the network you're going to run it on. Otherwise performance on all bands will be degraded. What is the FCC ID number of your phone behind the battery?
[Defy Android Development] dheeraj_hotmale:
Thanks for your reply :)

It says IHDP56LC4.

How do we find out performance degradation, if any?
[Defy Android Development] JackSparrow17:
I can't install ZIP file in CMW...I am getting error"Installation Aborted"... Anybody can help?
[Defy Android Development] cmstlist:
Okay so you need the 900/2100 files.

By degradation I mean that with the files for the wrong hardware, you get a weaker signal, even on EDGE.

I wasn't able to flash the zip here because it wasn't compatible with CWM 4.0.1.4-defy, but I was able to flash baseband switcher and it fixed my 3G. :)
[Defy Android Development] ursoouindio:
Hello,

I still haven't flashed any custom ROM to my Defy, but I'm looking forward to it.

I'm a Brazilian user, my carrir is Oi and it uses 850 and 2100 MHz for 3G and 1800 MHz for GSM. I don't know exactly what is involved on this aspect and what are the limitations on the available ROMs but I think it is quite an important thing to consider when getting a customized ROM for my phone. Can anyone enlighten me on that?

Thanks!
[Defy Android Development] slick69:
First - note down your version number from your stock ROM. Should be something like 3.4.2-107.

Then, flash any ROM, then flash baseband switcher. Select the Brazil version closest to your stock version from the baseband switcher app when you're in the ROM.
[Defy Android Development] cmstlist:
What is the FCC ID number behind the battery in back of your phone? If it's IHDP56LC3 then use the 850/1700/2100 baseband. If it's IHDP56LC2 then use the 850/2100 baseband.
[Defy Android Development] ursoouindio:
It's IHDP56LC2 then use the 850/2100. Thanks!

It is something I should worry when choosing a custom ROM?

[Defy Android Development] Codename_Falcon:
Does anyone know if this will work to change the 3G frequency on the Defy+?
[Defy Android Development] chtamina:
exactly the same problem here !
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
Try baseband switcher, you should find the same baseband.
[Defy Android Development] hpsaturn:
Hi, I have a Defy+ with cm9 (CM9-NIGHTLY-120516-Defy+.zip Epsylon3 version) when I try to change frequencies with cyanogen baseband settings, the phone loses signal. I tried with basebandswitcher also, but didn't work, they didn't change frequencies and the phone lost signal. Do you know why? With cm7 occurs the same.

The cellphone settings box says: WCDMA 900/2100 but i am trying to change it to 850/1900 (Colombia setting). Motorola Defy+ is QuadBand in HSDPA? Right? Should these programs work with Defy+? Thanks
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
If the box says WCDMA 900/2100 it's not Quadband, it's dual band on WCDMA . The phone is quadband for GSM.

AFAIK, you can't do what you want to do. Your phone supports WCDMA 900/2100. What the app allows you is switch the baseband back so the phone will have network, but it will need to be on WCDMA 900/2100.

If you had a WCDMA 850/1900 the app would allow you to select a corresponding baseband fileset so it match your hardware, so you get network on 850/1900.
[Defy Android Development] hpsaturn:
Thanks for your answer. But in multiple threads have said otherwise. For example with the Motorola Defy have changed the band or radio, for example this thread: http://bit.ly/Ly5fCt
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
They don't say otherwise AFAIK. You can change to 850/1900 baseband file on a 850/1900 Defy, doing so, you will get 3g again on a 850/1900 network.

If your Defy is made for 900/2100MHz, you can only connect to such frequencies, and it will only work with the 900/2100MHz baseband files.

If your Defy is made for 900/2100MHz, you can flash the 850/1900MHz baseband, you will have a baseband mismatch, and still the hardware won't be made for 850/1900MHz...

Baseband switcher isn't to change the Defy's suported baseband, it is mean to restore on a Defy the supported baseband so it can connect again to the network.

That's AFAIK, but, correct me if I'm wrong.
[Defy Android Development] cmstlist:
Moreover, the Defy+ is not the same phone as the Defy. If you are using an app written specifically for the original Defy you're essentially overwriting a bunch of system files with ones not designed for your phone's hardware. So if you lost all radio signal it's probably because of that.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
That is definitely a good point to take also into account. Although, if the Baseband switcher is shipped also into CM for Defy+ the Devs have probably verified it should/could work, or maybe they have shipped a version specific to Defy+ .
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
But then the Defy and Defy+ are pretty much the same phone, hardware wise. Only software modifications to support the bigger battery i think...
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
That's also what I believe, but I'm not sure enough to state it. Idk about the battery... AFAIK it was the same phone with an overclocked CPU. I would think that radio-wise it is the same but who knows...
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Well there have been many people who have flashed Defy+ ROMs on their Defy and vice versa. They haven't reported any problems. If radio hardware was different my guess is that even baseband switcher wouldn't have worked, right? But I always just assumed that all handsets of Defy, regardless of where they are sold, have the ability to use any of the types of networks ("Quad band" right?). Anyway this is all just speculation...as long as my defy works on my network, I'm happy :)

EDIT: Even within just Defy or just Defy+, if radios were incapable of tuning into the HSDPA frequencies other than of that region, then there would have been many complaints from people who have flashed different region's SBF's..so my (inexperienced) guess is that Defy can connect to all HSDPA bands. Just this afternoon I read an article somewhere about some US carrier releasing an update to a couple of their android handsets to make them quadband...until now they were marketed as dual band and non global. Maybe same for Defy?
[Defy Android Development] KeinBernd:
Well, slightly off-topic, but European Defys seem to have other RF parts for 3G, but it's not impossible to get 3G working with AT&T in the States...

I had during my trip to the East Coast quite often 3G, but never full signal (max 4 out of 5 bars) with the T-Mobile 3.4.2 baseband on my German Retail Defy+. Screenshot was made in a motel in Montauk, the signal was very weak at all (even with EDGE) over there.
[Defy Android Development] adlx.xda:
If I read the specs of the Defy, right from Motorola's site, I understand:

NETWORKS:

WCDMA 900/2100 <--> At least dualband for WCDMA

GSM 850/900/1800/1900 <--> Quadband for GSM

HSDPA 7.2 Mbps (Category 7/8), EDGE Class 12, GPRS Class 12, HSUPA 2.0 Mbps

So, I understand that this particular Defy model is only Quadband for GSM, while it is only Dualband for WCDMA. Although I remember there is a Defy in some country with 3 bands for WCDMA. I can't remember which one though.

Just found that in Spain it is stated as triband for WCDMA:

WCDMA 850/1700/2100

GSM 850/900/1800/1900
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Hmm... Well any specs from moto, I'd take with a grain if salt ;)

Anyway guess we'll know for sure if someone actually travels somewhere else and tries it out...

I didn't manage to make my defy work on HSDPA , only on HSPA...

my operator freq is 850/2100

any suggestions?
[Defy Android Development] coas:
HSDPA is one type of HSPA networks.

If you're getting HSPA:11 then all well.

All I can see is "HSPA" not "HSPA :11"

The colon and number after HSPA is new as of ICS. I wouldn't expect to see that on a Defy.

[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
In India we use GSM 900, GSM 1800 & UMTS2100 - http://www.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=INDIA

is there any baseband which have only these 3 bands to avoid any battery drain?
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
Does this mean that only 900 & 1800 are included in this file?

Also is there any of the files which have only 900+1800(gsm) & 2100 UMTS?
[Defy Android Development] cmstlist:
Again, the ONLY baseband you should be installing is the one that already matches your hardware. It doesn't matter what your carrier uses. Installing a baseband that doesn't match your hardware will result in degraded perfomance on all bands.
[Defy Android Development] popcorn1122:
I found out that below are the five files only which are required for base-band:

Path /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default

File_Audio

File_Audio2

File_GSM

File_Seem_Flex_Tables

generic_pds_init

If I put these files only and delete rest, battery consumption is reduced considerably?
[Defy Android Development] geseeker:
I have a Chinese retail Defy and am on the T-Mobile network now. I was hoping that flashing the T-Mobile baseband would give me 3G speed, but it didn't even get any connection after I do that (on the lock screen it says "Emergency Calls Only") :(. Seems like different Defy's do have different baseband hardware after all.
[Defy Android Development] cmstlist:
Could someone please edit the top post? It seems that it hasn't been made clear: select what matches your hardware, not your carrier.

Done.

Now I am really interested if Marketplace will be improved soon.

The way this app crashes makes me angry. I assume it's mainly due to connection problems but it should never require device reboot.

But my bigger and bigger concern is apps QUALITY.

I see that this whole process of approving apps is a joke.

Today I got an update of Fim and also downloaded Flory because Facebook Chat is something I use.

Fim was fine, after the upgrade it is **** - can't login, and it ruins my Facebook security so I have to bring my whole account back after. Disaster.

Flory is advertised on WPCentral as having English support and Facebook.

I just downloaded this and it's still in German and can't login to FB.

What I mean is I can't trust Marketplace anymore. I thought that among all those limitations we have at least reliable and robust experience, what works - works.... Well this is not true. Crapware is still present. I'm annoyed. And I see no way to avoid it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
Flory was just released with english. you'll get the update for it within 48 hours of it hitting the US market place (most likely 24).

It takes a bit for the apps to cycle around to all the market places.

if you have an issue with Fim, contact the developer.
[Windows Phone 7 General] radeon_x:
Unfortunately crap ware is going to be a constant reality for any app marketplace. With WP7 unfortunately the problem is just magnified by the shortage of high quality apps that cover every functionality. Just the reality of a new platform.

I agree that the stability of the market could be better though. I can't belive how many times I still get errors when trying to buy or download an app.

Sent from my GT-I9000M
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I already wrote to Fim and they removed the app (?)

Flory I downloaded is already 1.6.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
well give it another day or two, if it still doesn't show an update for you, contact the developer as well and see what they say.

being a dev myself, i understand the pressures and sometimes the desire to rush to get the update out without fully testing it, but yea i think it's no excuse by MS testing team. They should have a pretty rigerous testing process in place to catch a lot of exceptions that the dev may not.
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Flory-Messenger/167800659931562

all i can suggest is you hit up their wall. i'm sure it's in but they probably didn't test it widely enough to make it in english for all regions.

i'm only trying to help so please calm down a bit. i understand your frustration about the market place crashing issue, but that isn't anything i can personally do, otherwise i would. i know you're not taking your anger out on me, but yea, i'm just trying to help.
[Desire General] themikeyboosh:
I can't get a GPS fix so it needs to go back for repair. Previoulsy I have rooted it with unrevoked.

Tonight, i made a gold card and flashed it with a T-Mobile rom i downloaded, which went swimmingly.

Is this all I need to do so they don't know it was rooted?
[Desire General] Meaple:
Yes!!!!!!!!!!
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You wouldn't have needed the gold card to flash the T-Mobile RUU, which ROM were you originally on when you got the phone?
[Desire General] themikeyboosh:
A tmobile rom was on the phone, but i'd ran unrevoked so I needed to get rid of that. I tried without a gold card but was getting errors like customer id, but the gold card got round that.
[Desire General] Meaple:
Goldcard always wins :D
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Then you weren't on a T-Mobile ROM originally if you needed a gold card to flash it

A gold card is ONLY needed to flash a ROM different to the original build number, it should NOT be needed to flash a branded ROM if your phone was branded so sounds like you went through the issue for nothing
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Very true but as long as he has managed to flash a branded ROM with it i don't think T-Mobile will be able to tell the difference :)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
They can if they check the IMEI and see it wasn't a T-Mobile handset
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Certainly if that's what he's trying to do. But if that were the case then he would have to show them contract details or a receipt before getting a repair anyway. It is however possible that he bought a legitimate un-branded phone from T-Mobile and therefore flashing the ROM to a T-mobile one won't make them look twice.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Not true, if that was the case I could send my unbranded one back to Vodafone for repair. They'd send it back saying 'not one of ours, off to HTC you go' which is what T-Mobile might also do
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
I hear what you are saying. I personally have never done it but have read on here that some people have not managed to flash back to an RUU for their carrier without using a goldcard ( not saying it has to be used maybe they did something wrong with the first flash and the goldcard did it right for them) iv'e also read that some have problems as the newer ROM they have on their phone won't allow them to flash to an older stock RUU and the goldcard has allowed them to do this.

Again only going off what i have read here :)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
I'm just trying to make the OP aware that although it shouldn't be a problem it might be :)
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
No worries just trying to get my facts straight incase i'm ever in the same predicament
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Main reason why I always get unbranded handsets - deal with the manufacturer direct! :D
[Desire General] warlordxxx:
Lol i was very close to doing the same - can't help playing round with ROM's and it's killing me not doing it on this one
