I understand all...but where am I going to find rom image????
I donthave it, I have this Pocket PC few years, don remember if I got anything with them back then?!
Anyone has rom image that I need or know where I can get it?
This is a fantastic ROM! I can only say that I am very surprised to see this kind of quality interface coming from MOTO. Anyway, to help those who're new to this, I've written a somewhat comprehensive installation guide below.
Preparation
1. Firstly, you’re going to need all these files
a. Rooted-nandroid-backup + fixed sbf from http://www.multiupload.com/SPZ8SIEC60
b. Superoneclick from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
c. Defy ClockworkMod Recovery from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233
d. Latest RSD Lite and Drivers from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=11005852. Install the RSD Lite and appropriate drivers into your PC (32-bit or 64-bit)
3. Follow instructions at the Superoneclick thread to root your Defy
4. Follow instructions at the ClockworkMod Recovery thread to install System Recovery into your Defy
5. Launch System Recovery and install Recovery System
6. Perform Recovery Boot (USB debugging MUST BE TURNED OFF in your Defy. It’s located under Settings – Applications - Development)
7. Create a nandroid backup of your current system by scrolling to “Backup & Restore” using VOL UP/DOWN key, and POWER button to execute (this is so that you can return revert back to your official ROM for warranty purposes)
8. Reboot normally
9. Extract the rooted nandroid backup + fixed sbf file you downloaded earlier. The filename should be “shadow4.5.1-134rootednandroid.zip”. You should see 2 folders “fixed-sbf” and “nandroid backuo”
10. Copy the “shadow4.5.1-134nandroid” folder (not just files, but the whole folder) to your SD card under “\goapkrev\backup”. So you should have “\goapkrev\backup\shadow4.5.1-134nandroid” in your SD card.
Actual Flashing Process
1. Launch System Recovery and perform a Recovery Boot (USB debugging MUST BE TURNED OFF in your DEFY. It’s located under Settings > Applications > Development)
2. At the bootmenu, use the VOL UP/DOWN key to move through the boot menu and perform a full wipe (Wipe DATA/Factory reset & Wipe CACHE Partition)
3. After both wipes are complete, go to “Backup & Restore” > “Restore” > “Advanced Restore” and you should see 2 items. Your earlier backup as well as the folder you put in earlier “shadow4.5.1-134nandroid”.
4. Select “shadow4.5.1-134nandroid” and choose “System Only”
5. After the restoration is complete, choose “Reboot System”, and IMMEDIATELY hold down the VOL UP key.
6. This will put you in bootloader mode.
7. Launch RSD Lite on your PC, and connect your DEFY to your PC
8. Let the appropriate driver installations take place
9. Select the fixed sbf file from the “fixed-sbf” folder. The filename should be “shadow4.5.1-134fixed.sbf” and Flash your DEFY
10. Be aware of the flashing progress. It’s very fast.
11. As soon as you see your device reboot, IMMEDIATELY hold down the VOL DOWN key.
12. This will bring you to stock recovery. Press both VOL UP and VOL DOWN key simultaneously to see the boot menu. Select items with the VOL UP/DOWN key, and POWER button to execute.
13. Perform a full wipe (wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition)
14. After both wipes are complete, hit “reboot system now”
15. Once your device completes the normal boot up process, RSD Lite should show the “PASS” status. Close RSD Lite and unplug your DEFY from your PC.
16. Enjoy!

I did up to step 6 in flashing process but when i got to connect to rsd lite the defy wasn't recognized by rsdlite.
Can you confirm you're in bootloader mode? Did you see your PC installing drivers?
yeah it was in bootloader mode. i pressed the up button when it rebooted.
On the screen it says bootloader 9.10
Battery OK
Ok to Program
And on the desktop i see the device installing once i plugged it in. Also when i check device manager it says motorola Usb device and when i expand that branch it says motorola flash interface.

Still in bootloader, you just unplug the usb cable and plug it back to the PC. Some WinXP will install several drivers separately upon each plug/unplug of the USB cable. The RSDlite required a few drivers for it to run properly.

anyone has 1% battery step for this rom?
i followed every step exactly as in the first post.. but after flashing and wiping data and cache, when the phone reboots, it just stays at the red moto "M" screen for 20 mins now and rsd just says to manually reboot the phone.. do i just close rsd and unplug? or wait? my battery might die :s
ok i redid everything from the beginning.. found where the problem is. when i do the advanced restore to the system only, it begins to check the MD5 sums and then says md5 mismatch.. please help me out here guys!
It all started when i was trying to fix xposed. I thought i might try and re-root my phone and i thought would use Kingo. BIG MISTAKE.
Phone was stuck in boot so i decided i would try and root the old fashioned way. Still stayed stuck in boot. So i flashed the rom after a full wipe. and rooted right after and reinstalled Team Win recovery. NOW IT WONT EVEN BOOT INTO RECOVERY!!!!!!! i have done this so many times and i have nop idea why it is failing for me now!
Please somebody help me!
EDIT: Recovery is not SEANDROID enforcing
Tried flashing an older root file, that didnt work.
EDIT: I WAS FLASHING THE WRONG RECOVERY FILE OH MY GLOB HAVE A GOOD EVENING EVERYONE
First BE Advised, using the following methods, you WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA and HAVE A FACTORY FRESH CONFIGURATION WITH EXCEPTION TO KNOX IF YOU'VE TRIPPED IT PREVIOUSLY and YOU WILL HAVE FACTORY RECOVERY ONLY ONCE COMPLETED (CAPS for emphasis only, we want to make sure you know you won't have your data once you take these steps):
Part 1 of 2 - Master reset with hardware keys
A master reset restores the original factory settings and may delete your personal data on the internal storage, such as downloaded content, ringtones, images, apps, and contacts. It does not delete data stored on the SIM card or SD card.
If the device menus are frozen or unresponsive, you can master reset using hardware keys. To perform a master reset, follow these steps:
Back up all data on the internal memory.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time:
Volume Up key
Home key
Power key.
When 'GALAXY Note 3' appears on the screen, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'wipe data / factory reset.'
Press Power button to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'delete all user data.'
Press Power button to select and start the master reset. When the master reset is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
Press the Power key to turn the restart the device.
These same directions are also provided on the T-Mobile website at the following URL:
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-9049
Part 2 of 2 - Reloading your phone...
You should use a stock image of your current build to perform the following steps:
Recover phone:
1. Put phone in download mode
2. Open Heimdall
3. On utilities tab “check device” If your phone cannot be read, it may be far worse than expected.
4. Click on flash tab after successfully detected.
5. In the pit section, choose the pit file I provided.
6. Click add in the partitions box to the right > Select BOOT
7. Select the boot.img file provided
8. Click add in the partitions box again to the right > Select CACHE
9. Select the cache.img.ext4 file provided.
10. Click the add in the partitions box again > Select RECOVERY
11. Select the recovery provided (you can probably use any recovery, but provided is twrp 2.6.3.7)
12. Make sure no reboot is checked
13. The phone may flash all the way to the end and error out. If this is the case, proceed with steps 14 and 15. If not, proceed to step 16.
14. **Pull battery
15. **Replace
16. Boot to recovery, and re-install your backup (or another ROM, whatever).
The same steps are also listed in more significant detail via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545009
Hope this helps.

When pressing Power and Volume Down comes:
The android male lying on his back with a red triangle and a call sign
and underneath is No command.
after some time (minutes) the screen returns with the input of the security pattern ......
Are there any other keyboard shortcuts that might help me?
I'm a beginner - so I do not know me so well - so I need a step by step guide
Hopefully someone can help me
sorry for my bad english
In recovery mode (Power+Volume down) press power+volume up to see the menu and do a factory reset.
Hi,
when pressing Power and Volume Down comes:
The android male lying on his back with a red triangle and a call sign
and underneath is No command.
but i can not do anything else - there comes no menu - for the factory reset!
I need help - please.
When you see the lying android do as i told and press power+volume up button. When you release the volume button you will see the recovery menu.
Hi Dabiolos,
Thanks alot. After a few attempts, I managed to get into the recovery menu.
Here is an entry Wipe data/factory reset.
My question - what is after the factory reset - are all my data ( phptos ) gone?
If so - is there any other way to save the photos?
Is it possible with Apply update from ADB - install the firmware new - so that the system boots again - but the phptos are still there?
Thank you
After factory reset everything on the phone will be wiped.
There is a way/solution to apply an rom install over adb. But i guess you never used ADB and making a mistake like using the wrong files could result in a brick i dont recommend it.
If you got an sd card you could just download the rom from asus and apply update from zip. Triple check for the right file....
If you absolutely need your photos and no sd: It is easier using fastboot and booting twrp-recovery and backup your pictures over MTP/USB.
For this just boot into fastboot connect your device to usb (on a pc with fastboot installed).
Just follow this tutorial (the test part).

FAILED (remote: unlock device to use this command)
finished. total time: 0.616s
so i cant'n install the twrp-image file!
Is it possible in my situation to unlock the device?
I found a recovery imge ( Z016_1-WW-5.17.44.87_recovery.img ) for my phone.
What cani do with this image? - Can this help me?
Or is the only way to do a factoty reset - and lose my photos on the phone?
Thank you
Unlocking für bootloader will wipe your data. So this is not an option.
The new recovery wont help either.
Better try this:
