Anyone is intersted in MIUI ui rom, for me is beautifull and fast! we can have on defy?
a direct port is rather unlikely bcause of the locked bootloader, i think.
we'll have to wait what project bootloader freedom comes up with.
but i dont think that MIUI will make it to the defy.

Currently there's an article on the front page of DroidForums.net too.
Looks they're going to make one for defy, if possible.

I had almost lost hope of getting unlocked bootloader when I saw a new hope with the launch of Galaxy S III.
How many of you know, the Verizon version of this device is locked with the bootloader, while others appear to be unlocked. Even knowing how bad this is, this may be an opportunity for many of the models with locked bootloader have a chance.
What I mean is that, like the S III, we have some defy's around the world with unlocked bootloader (most of them in china so observe here for the XDA). Would I be so foolish to believe that with a device such as the S III target, there is a possibility of unlocking the bootloader by developers? And this means of release could somehow help with the release of the Defy and many other devices with locked bootloader?
Yesterday, motorola mobility rep. posted this on their Google+ page
Motorola ATRIX HD at AT&T will have a locked bootloader to meet requirements; our goal is still to provide a way to unlock the bootloaders on our devices to those who wish to do so, more details will be shared as soon as we can.

I do not doubt. Motorola has a terrible historical. But i really enjoy the Defy and wouldn't like to have to change my device to update kernel/android. I'm really wanting to play the fool to believe in fairy tales at the time :laugh:
I want to believe in this fairy tale this time.
I have a RAZR and just got the official ICS on it. I like my defy more than my razr. I wish I could put ICS on here.

Huh? Why not try ICS CM9 from devs Quarx and Epsylon3? Or even better, wait a few days and flash CM10 Jelly Bean...

Martijn, you know...you can try Quarx end Epsylon3 ROMs. I'm doing this right now, and since we got the dualboot, i'm testing a lot of ROMs. But we have a great problem, our kernel. On Jelly Bean android will receive great improvement on the sdk and with the system, like App stack navigation or Network service. Much of the improvement are done on the system, but some of then could request new implements from the kernel. A example could be the use of the NFC ( Near Field Communications ). It's on the kernel how to initialize on care some IRQ from the hardware. You could build a module to load how to care with NFC from the Android OS, but if it would build on kernel (like it could be from new linux kernels). And things like Dynamic writeback throttling, performance on reading or size limit from file systems
Take a look on this: http://kernelnewbies.org/Linux_3.1
Much things i can do on CM7, using kernel 2.6, like the wiimote, so why this would be news on kernel 3.1? 'Cause there, isn't the OS that is caring the NFC or the wiimotes, but the kernel. A such difference is a example that could make a new version of the Android flow better on our device. And things like this we just get with a bootloader opened.
Quarx end Epsylon3 are doing a great, a extraordinary work! I salute them! But as the Android evolves, they work get even more hard if all that could be on kernel, they have to do with patches or modules on the OS. Praying for a open bootloader isn't just to ensure that we gonna have updates until or device could run it and be moneymaking for the developers, but is a way to ensure that this work will be more easy (and probably faster) to the developers too.

Opening the bootloader is not the only way to load a new kernel. Kexec was designed exactly for that. It's possible on android -- kholk have got that to work on RAZR already. There were some problem on defy, but I think it is not impossible to fix.
I may be wrong, but can we use the kexec to solve the actual problem with CM10? It won't work for Radio but we can use it for USB/Audio?

As far as what I've read, the radio is burnt completely if we try kexec.

I think it gets not burnt... it just crashes, panics and in consequence the defy(+) reboots.

Thought we could exclude the Radio and use just USB/Audio =/
Didn't they used "burn" just as a expression?
Our Kernel can load modules, can't it reload them? We use a module called mod2 who kicks in after to add to the first module? Or to override the first one. It's a lot like kexec but with the modules, not the kernel.

I remember something called "Project Cheesecake" and "Operation MOSH" from like, a year ago.
Petitions did not save our Defy from a locked bootloader.
Samsung's different. Nearly all Samsung devices have unlocked BL. Nearly all Motorola devices have locked BL.
They tried using oem fastboot on the Defy but it didn't work so well I don't think.

Here's the thread for cheesecake.
Hello all,
I've managed to create a flashable script which unlocks the Vivo Xshot Ultimate (X710L) bootloader.
Requirements:
1) Root
2) Flahify app installed from PlayStore
3) Cofface custom recovery flashed
Download the script and flash it with the custom recovery.
Download link:
http://www.megafileupload.com/en/file/586678/update-zip.html
Do not try this on other device since it will not work and you will probably brick the phone since it rewrites bootloader code.

yes that would be great. even though I have to disagree about the Funtouch OS. I think it's excellent and I have used many phones...
Gr8 news about unlocked bootloader.
I hope it will start a little development for Vivo too

Indeed. I was looking for a method to unlock my Ultimate version for a few month but nobody troubled to help me.
I'm very happy that I found the thread about OnePlusOne bootloader unlock mentioned in my post and after I understood what was done there, it was easy to develop a similar script for my phone. Hats off to them again.
I tried to port some roms but it seems that it is not that easy and after a day of work it's kind of hard to return home and start reading so much threads. Porting a rom requires some time and since I managed to create the script to unlock the bootloader now I hope that people with more experience in porting roms will manage to create a custom rom for our Vivo phones (CM would be perfect). I still mantain my oppinion that the Find 7 CM would be easy to port for Vivo since the phones are almost identical.
Best regards
Thanks!
This method also works on mine,
which is an International version of vivo Xshot X710F (16GB/2GB Ram like an elite version)
BTW, I'm just translated the TWRP into English version, check it here!
I'm glad that this worked for you. Unfortunately I sold my XShot and I'm waiting for my Galaxy S6 to arrive. I'm glad that you managed to translate a custom recovery in english. I truly hope that people will start to develop custom roms for XShot sice it is a great phone with fabulous camera.
The link is dead... Can you please upload the file again?

Now that I know how to unlock the bootloader, how should i get android 5 on my T3 after unlocking the bootloader? The people at sony developer world won't tell me that. Is there someone that wants to help me and many others?

Hi, there are some posts about that already on the forum, we dont have official update do android 5, but we have some builds, they're not complete.
The best we got so far still missing 4G and camera I think.. So I dont think you should update yet you can try it, there are some instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...reexperia-project-aosp-android-5-x-x-t2983733
also you can check the progress here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-t3/orig-development/fxpdev-5-1-1-t3103320 courtesy of dan15
Seeing as this phone finally has bootloader unlock available, how do we go about getting some capable devs to begin supporting LineageOS for this phone?
Was the launch botched enough that there just isn't any dev interest?
I'm thinking so, It's been out a while now, no bootloader unlock and we're still (570KL) waiting for nougat.
I believe a lot of devs are waiting for the bigger better releases due out in a month or 3....
ASUS may very well have killed off dev interest before this great piece of hardware was fully recognised by our community....

Dear all. Recently bought a G40F and ever since I was on the lookout for custom ROM support. more specifically, a well tested and "straight forward" custom ROM installation sequence. for a noob like me that's very important.
although Moto shares their kernel source code to custom rom devs, the ROM scene for G40/G60 is nowhere comparable to other phones like Poco X3. Im guessing thats because it's launched only in the Indian market(so far) and it hasnt attracted a lot of devs worldwide. well, its a shame tbh.
I have scoured the internet and was disappointed to find nothing of that sort. just a pile of generalized guides(beware of bricking) which is just copy pasted for every devices out there, probably for clicks and running ads. Yet, thank god I found this guy Selva Kumar A. He wrote a detailed guide and tested it on his own G40, and also has a guide if you happen to brick it.
once again, i am a noob and this would be my first custom ROM. So don't take my word for it. I am here reaching out to the community hoping to find better opinions and corrections to the techniques mentioned above. If any Devs reading this, please spare some time to evaluate this. bricking my phone is such a nightmare, but I want root access and try out some cool stuff.
Bootloader is not unlockable at the moment
Correct me if I'm wrong.
With an unlocked bootloader I can root the phone.
whereas for installing a custom ROM I should wait until a developer makes one that'd fit g40f, which also requires a unlocked bootloader

bro I'm guessing you're that youtuber no? Would you suggest I return this phone and wait until Poco x4 or something that'd have a big community support, hence custom roms n everything

Yeah , but bootloader's not unlockable right now!
Unlocking through adb , it says failed to load unlock data

50% build is already complete, rest needs an unlocked G40, if you somehow unlock BL of G40, reach Dev's through official moto G40/g60 Tlgrm group
