Hey guys and gals, just a quick query really. I know that Motorola Defy is soon to get the 2.2 update in Europe by the end of Q2, but I saw a post about some German guy who sent his phone to get fixed to Motorola and it came back with 2.3 official on it. Is Defy going to be seeing 2.3 officially?
And also, because I have wanted 2.3 for a while now but only just got the courage up to start modding my defy (I have flashed & rooted many phones before but didn't dare to do it to my contract one, but now I am confident! and have been making steps towards installing cm7 on it).
I have been following this guide;
OK I cannot post this link because it I haven't posted 8+ times. going to post it like this (hopefully I wont get into trouble >.<)
Part A: that http stuff
Part B: world wide web
Part C: techofweb
Part D: dot com
Part E: /technology/installing-cm7-motorola-defy.html
and have gotten to the install the cm7.zip. now the download link is an SBF file...
is it safe to RSD Lite it from here or should I find the .zip file, I'm rather unsure at this point and don't want to proceed with the possibility of f-ing my phone up.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED! thanks
Chazara
Ah
The guide link is on this thread;

Ah... Again
Sorry to be a pain, this thread can be removed. I figured it out.
My own laziness is certainly a hindrance.

sry guys am really new at this
You're the one that have to see the ROMs availlable and choose one that you like. For one people one is the best, but for other is other... Because all ROMs have different softwares, tweaks, etc...
Just follow the link that i gave and see wich ROMs are availlable.
In the same link there is a "How 2to flash" that explains you how to do it...
There is all on this link... PLEASE use it!

does anybody have the iphone theme for the wing and instructions on how to do it appreciated thanks
The idea is
1. Read the forum ….a lot first get an idea on what’s what and how it works!
2. Go to the relevant sub section for your phone.
3. Read that forum a lot.
4. Search for the how to update my phone guide via the search function.
5. Follow the guide and then if your not certain or stuck THEN post a help request.
I think you will find that there are many different versions of the rom and you will want try the different ones yourself and see what works for you.
As a rule what one person thinks is the best thing since sliced bread the next will think is a pile of manure you ultimately will need to make a decision and once you have followed a guide (and I do mean follow to the letter) and seen how easy it is to do you will feel less worry about the process.
Have fun
CAN ANYONE FIND THIS ROM 1.12.404.1 NLD?
iv been helping a friend for a week now and still no luck, its like it doesnt exist, although, i did find the rom on one site but gotta pay for the download.
he also mentioned ''Gold Card'' im not sure what this is but if anyone knows what to do and wouldnt mind giving me a link or step by step tutorial, this would be a great help.lol
any help will be appreciated.. thank you in advance..
as far as i know, a goldcard is nothing more then the correct rom stored on a SD-card.. it was a way for a lot of commercial people to generate money for bricked devices.
i dont have the image u want though, so im sorry, cant help
you already have helped,lol i read a post this mornin, basicly what you just told me but was unsure because the post was about a differant phone, model etc..
so the only chance to get my friends artemis back to life is with the official rom..
theres plenty of people on this site, (most helpfull, some not lol) but someone out there must have the official nld rom!
cheers..
bricked phone
You can unbrick the phone using a sd card of max. 2 Gb. Search on the formum, i don't remember the exact steps. Basicly, put the rom you want to use on the root of the card, enter the flashmode with the rainbow collored screen and choose the card. Then the flash starts. You can enter the flashmode using the software tool, or use the buttons on your device. For step by step see http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_SD_Card_Flashing
Good Luck.
Did you already searched the wiki? All links are there, although they are outdated.

Hi People,
I have only just found out that you can change the ROM's and all sorts of thing with My HTC Desire.
I have had my phone for 2 weeks, I'm on Virgin Mobile and don't have a clue.
I was talking to a guy at work who has one and he told me about you guys.
I have had a look around but can't see anything for the noob...lol (ME!!!).
I was wondering is anyone could give me some advice on where to start, What to look out for and any general advice on what to do and what not to do?
Any Help would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks

First thing is to ask yourself why you want to change the ROM on the unit. Are you running out of space or are you just the type who likes to have more control?
I didn't root for months as the phon, out the box, does exactly what I want it to do. The only reason I've rooted now is to run the HD ROM but otherwise I'd stay stock.
You're going to get people reply with 'root it now, don't ever think of going stock, bla bla bla' but it's an individual thing, as is the choice of ROM. Read up on the stickied threads in the various forums and use the search button a LOT!

Welcome Mark.
EddyOS has provided you some excellent advice - don't rush into anything.
Mostly people do this as a kind of 'hobby' (including me) and you can end up with some cool stuff on your phone that HTC never intended you to have or have much later on. On the flip side, you can also wreck your phone too through doing the wrong thing or just plain bad luck. HTC can be a bit difficult in fixing stuff under warranty if you've been mucking about with your device, so be warned.
Everything you need to know about rooting and flashing (conjures up interesting images doesn't it?) is contained here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696189
So read up, lurk about a bit in the forums and if you think you need to - have a go.
Good luck!
Thanks Guys Some sound advice there i will look around before i do a thing.
Many Thanks
First thing I would do, though, is check the ROM currently running on your Desire and get the RUU* file in case you ever need to go back to stock after rooting. To check, go to Settings>About phone>Software information and make a note of the software version.
You can then go to this site and see if the version you're on at present is available. If it is, download it:

Hello. First of all sorry for my bad english Me bought motorola defy with 2.1 official eclair rom but I want to install gingerbread or something like that. Now I have updated rom to 2.2.2 Froyo, then root with SuperOneClick. And what I need to do later ? I download MS2Ginger2.1.zip for green leanse and put it in SD card but with recovery I get an error. Do I need unrar this pack or what ? please help me
Before flashing anything on Defy I strongly recommend to read a bit and understand how the process (flashing) works. A good place to start is the All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide topic. After you read it and you are aware of the risks implied by flashing and you understand how you can do it properly then you are good to go.

I wanted to install android on my phone, i found a guide to do it (i'd link it but i cant post links since im new) but i need spl 2.08 and my phone has 0.87, i tried to use the hspl4 tool to update it but it works only for 1.4 and above.
So i started investigating and found a way to install the 0.87 onilex, then i searched a way to get it o 1.4 or something but i dint found anything useful
After that i tried to install a rom, for that i used the RhodiumWAdvancedRUU, i used task 29 to clear the whole thing but after that i wasnt able to install any rom, it gets stuck on the boot screen
Any advice would be really apreciated
Nvm i figured how to install roms (i got a really cool one working right now)

Why do you need that if you are able to install custom ROM's...?
If you can flash ROM's, don't worry about it.

Do you have a TP2? If so please let us know where you got a working copy of something newer than GB which works.
If not, you are in the wrong place.

um, ya. That is a HD2 phone.
So the question once again is do you have a TP2 phone, because what you linked to will not work on this phone. HD2 ≠ TP2.

Ya. The title "Install Android Ice Cream Sandwich On The HTC HD2 In Minutes" kind of gives that little secret away.
Good luck finding anything newer than GB for the TP2.

I'm going to say something that's likely to land me in the doghouse but every one of these threads are here for a reason; legacy or new. I don't mind folks asking questions and I've sure asked my fair number of them too. I get the tutorials may not be well written and can be somewhat "over your head" in nature but many of you need to take the time and read them. Don't just jump in and fire away asking questions that are available and answered...please do your homework. Many of you expect an automatic quick fix...it simply is not that simple. If you need SPL0.85.OliNex...it's been asked, answered and here. One more thing...take the time to edit your signature or let us know what you have, attempted or for the sake argument what is under the hood of your device...you got to tell us otherwise we don't know. I apologize up front for anybody I've offended but all of you newbies need to be more thorough when posting. You need to begin by telling us which device you're using. SPL2.08 is the HTC HD2. You might be in the wrong thread but it too makes my point; please take the time to read these threads. A lot of folks put a tremendous time into their efforts. We expect all of you to do the same, no shortcuts; take care!
