no need room manager.. if you have official froyo, just root your defy with superoneclick.. and then you just neet to download app called "2ndinit" from market.. install, reboot and youll see you custom recovery..

Make SURE you don't have 2ndinit and CWM/Rom Manager running at the same time! You'll end up in an infinite boot-loop!!!
If your defy is un-modified right now you should get superoneclick from the store and root your phone. (You install superoneclick on your PC) If you have already modified/rooted you still want Manager to make a backup.
After rooting, install Rom Manager. I really like this program and it makes checking out different ROM's a breeze.
For instance: I have 3 different backup files saved right now... One is a bare, non-rooted 2.2.2 Froyo; one is an initial, rooted load of CM7; and the third is my current, app-loaded, theme loaded, all menu settings where I want backup.
When Rom Manager says it can't flash clockworkmod recovery, just say you have installed your own, and I chose v3.
Use the Manager to do a system backup!
Use Manager to download and install a rom. Or you can download a .zip file from wherever and put it on the SD card and tell Manager to install it.

Never ever wipe via stock recovery in CM7, only use custom recovery. I'm sorry but you'll have to start all over again as said above.

[Guide] how to install CyanogenMod 7 on your defy :)

Nightlies here: http://defy.tanguy.tk/jordan-nightly/
Stable Here:http://www.multiupload.com/AIWXM5HJWY
Google Apps (Gapps) http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS RUNNING FROYO (2.2) (You will find a froyo ROM in the defy development forum)
0.[OPTIONAL] Backup apps with titanium backup (here https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en)
1.Download superoneclick (here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682)
2.In your mobile. Settings->Applications->Development (check USB debugging on)
3.Connect your phone to PC. Right click superoneclick -> open as admin ->Click ROOT. Thats it your phone is rooted.
4.Restart your mobile.
5.Download 2nd init from android market. install the 2nd init recovery. It will ask the superuser permission Accept it.
6.Uncheck the USB debugging from Settings->Applications->Development and restart the phone now.
7.It will go in to bootmenu select normal boot at now.
8.After mobile booted copy the Gapps zip and cm7 stable or nightly zip file to root of your SD card.
9.Restart the phone it will go in to boot menu or you can press vol - button when you see the blue led light.
10.Now go to recovery -> Custom recovery ->* Wipe data/factory and Wipe cache -> Install zip file from sd card(select the cm7 zip, repeat with the gapps zip)
12. Reboot. Go to app drawer and start up the defy baseband switcher. select the appropriate baseband to achieve optimal reception.
*Can do a CWM backup here [(Backup and restore -> Backup) NOTE: When restoring backup you must first flash a stock from (2.2/2.1 if the back up was done on either, and 2.3 if it was done on 2.3) as it doesnt backup the kernel]
To upgrade to nightly or from rc1 to rc1.5:
1. Download update and copy to sd
2. Go to bood menu -> recovery -> Custom recovery -> wipe cache and dalvik cache (in advanced) Install zip file from sd card(select the zip file you copied to sd card) thats it.
To downgrade to Stock rom it is very simple:
1.Download RSD lite and Motorola usb drivers to flash SBF file.
2.Download Stock froyo SBF for your region(Search xda forum)
3.Check USB debugging on your phone and connect to the pc and wait until all motorola drivers install.
4.Open RSD lite(right click and open as a administrator). It will show connected. Now select the sbf file you located on the system and click start and wait till it completes 100% process. thats it. it will flash your phone to stock froyo and it will automatically restart and boot.
Note: Some times when rebooting after RSD lite flash your phone stuck in bootloop(M logo or it continously loading in Android menu). It is better to go to stock recovery(Hold the vol - button and then power button and then release it. you will get android logo with exclamatory symbol. Press vol - and vol + button at the same time to get in to stock recovery). Select wipe data/factory and wipe cache.

hi,
nice Guide
If you come from 2.51 and want to keep the downgradeability like me,
you can do the following:
-Do Step 1 and 2 of the initial Guide
-Download the fixed SBF and the CM Backup from here
-Copy CM Backup to your SDCard
-Root your Phone via Oneklick
-Install Defy Recovery and install the Recovery System
-Boot in Recovery Mode (pwr+vol_down)
-Install the copied .zip file
-Boot into bootloader (pwr+vol_up)
-flash the fixed sbf
-reboot
-proceed with step 5 of the initial Guide

great work, but 8. step is not necessary, 2ndInit has alredy been installed in the 5. step.
some 2.51 defys have sd card mounting problem in recovery 2.5.1.8
mine is one of them
i have to flash a rom above 2.51 and recovery works fine
Lol, if I had read this post I shouldn't pass all the morning trying to flash to CM7. At least I did it, hehehe. Thanks to all the posts here.
It's that possible to reflash the official 2.1 ROM after flashing this one?

I'm afraid not. The linked ROM is a full (i.e. not fixed) ROM. However, according to Quarx you can use fixed SBF (which preserves downgradibility). You can find one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537.

Yeah I know step 8 isn't really needed but people might think u simply install the app and leave it.
As for the question about the t-mobile ROM You should be able to use it, I just prefer to use the same base as the dev to avoid any potential problems

If you're using the Aussie ROM then the fixed UK ROM doesn't seem to work unfortunately. I really want to give this a try to, but I'm afraid if I flash up to 2.2 and something goes wrong I'll never get my phone back to working order >.<

Rooted Now Need Expert Advice

Hello,Guys I'm new in this community And Today i have rooted my wildfire And to ensure whether my fone is fully rooted or not.
I installed App Called "ROM MANAGER" And it worked...
So,Now it means my fone is fully rooted right..??(Correct me if i'm wrong )
So,Now all i want to know the easiest and safest Way To Install CM7(stable) if possible then please provide the link thnxx in advance
Help me
Yes its rooted, but, to install Custom ROMs, you will need to install a Custom Recovery (ie Clockworkmod).
There are 2 ways to go about it:
1) Fastboot - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680
2) PC49IMG - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
I have only used the Fastboot method so far, so if you need further assistance, just ask.
BTW, Both the above methods need S-OFF using AlphaRev X. If you are not having S-OFF, then simply use Unrevoked to install the Clockworkmod Recovery.
Once Clockworkmod Recovery install is complete, follow this post to install Custom ROMs like Cyanogenmod 7:

Heyy thanx for replying "3xeno"
Just few minutes ago i installed titanium backup when this app starts
it's showing Root access : FAILED
And a msg popped up : "Sorry,i could not acquire root privileges - This Application will "not" work ! Please verify that your ROM is rooted and includes BusyBox,and try again
Please Help me what the hell is happening ??
Got Superuser App in your App Drawer? Also, what exactly did you do to root your device? Did you use AlphaRev X or use Unrevoked?
Yup I got superuser automatically in app drawer and i used alpharev X
Weird, Then try installing Busybox from within Titanium Backup. (Press Menu Key, then Press "Problems", It''ll download Busybox).
Also, can you explain what all procedures you followed after getting S-OFF using AlphaRev X?
and bro one thing more
One minute ago i installed SHootme app and this app also asked me for superuser priveleges I allowed it and it worked...shootme app is working i don't know y titanium app is sayin like that ??
And yaa The method u posted in ur 1st post i hve already done that...i hve installed it via PC49IMG
Okay, well since you've got recovery you are now able to install custom ROM's.
Download the one you want (Cyanogenmod gives good performance),
put on your sdcard,
boot recovery (turn off, hold volume down and press power, use volume down to navigate to recovery, press power).
Backup stock ROM from backup & restore.
Wipe dalvic cache in advanced menu, wipe boot, data, system, cache in mounts and storage.
Then install zip from sdcard. Voila.

Titanium backup not giving you root previlages whereas other app gave. There is a possibility that you accidentally denied the "root permission" of titanium backup when you opened it for 1st time. As it will be in a remembered state it might be the issue. Open "superuser" from app drawer and check the root permission status of titanium backup. Another suggestion is to update the Su binary from superuser app. Then download busybox installer from market and install busybox from that. Then open titanium backup.
There is absolutely no risk in installing cm7. But do make nandroid backup of your current rom so that you can revert back anytime if you don't like it.

You are not getting me. CM7 is an AOSP ROM. AOSP stands for the Android Open Source Project, and is intended to be the base where Google releases their Android Source Code (Android is an open source OS after all).
CM7 is based on that. Obviously, Sense is an HTC Product, and hence is not a part of AOSP. If you want Sense, you will have to get a Sense ROM. Sense will NOT work on ANY AOSP ROM. I hope this is clear to you.
Again, refer the ROM list I gave you the link to in the previous post, I have segregated it based on whether a ROM is based on Sense or based on AOSP.
If you want Sense, you cannot use CM7.
For your 2nd query, yes, installing process is as you have described. However, make sure you perform a "Wipe Data / Factory Reset" in Clockworkmod before installing a new ROM to prevent issues.
Ok Sir I got You Thanx For Ur Help

If you are on CM7, you will need to flash an additional GApps Package (Google Apps), which will give you Android Market. You can download it here:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Look for
gapps-gb-20110613.zip or
gapps-gb-20110307.zip
Flashing procedure remains the same. Place file on your SDCard, Reboot into Clockworkmod Recovery, Select Install Zip from SDCard and choose the above zip.

The CWM from Alquez is unofficial not supported by rom manager dev i think. The same thing was with samsung galaxy ace , don't flash recovery from manager you can get brick...

It's non sense ROM.
I didn't like it too, so I just flashed sense rom.
Anyway, you can install any launcher you like, and use it as default one.
About google account.
That ROM doesn't have anything to do with google's apps, so you'll have to install gapps.
Find it somewhere, latest version is from 28.8.2011 I think.
It's .zip file, just flash it through recovery.

[Q] Installing Clockworkmod over StockRecovery Mode

Hello,
i have a Problem with my Defy, i have no working Clockworkmod (CWM) or other Custom Recovery Mod.
Now my Defy have the Bootloop and the only thing i can reach ist the Stock Recovery Mode.
In there i can only install a update.zip, but all versions i would instal from CWM give a signature error.
Is it possible to install a Custom Recovery Mod only with the Stock Recovery Mode?
After this i can start the Custom Recovery Mod and install my last used Custom Rom, without losing my data.
Greetings.
Stock recovery can not flash anything that does not come from motorola, and it can not be replaced due to the fact that the bootloader is locked. Your only solution is to reflash/flash an sbf through rsdlite
Sent from my 1Ghz CM7 + CM9 Defy
Ok, that means that the thread on xda, do sign a update.zip, doenst work realy?
If i reflash the same sbf and the same custom rom, are the data deleted?
In most installation guides it says wipe manual?!
Thanks.

The zips on XDA are to flash with the 2nd-init recovery. To install that you must be rooted and use an app on the market (2nd-init installer). But that custom recovery does not replace the stock one seen as we can't overwrite it.
In order to flash a new sbf:
In stock recovery wipe data/factory reset
Plug phone in PC in bootloader mode (power+vol up?)
Flash sbf with RSDLite
Pretty easy, find which sbf was for your contry/carrier .

Hello,
thanks, what a pity that after a bootloop the data are not accessible anymore.

Because i was in the Bootloop i risk to install the same SFB that i have all the time installed, without anything wiping.
It works! I have acces to all my Data! I make a backup of everything und then i wiped to make a clean install.
Now i am on a new sbf and a newer rom, without losing any data.

All the downloading files at the end of the first post are in zip format now.:-(
So without custom recovery its impossible to use them. But I can be wrong and there is a way to do that?
No i was in bootloop and have only acces to the stock rom manager.
I take the phone in the bootmodus and flashed my old used sbf with rds, without wiping.
Then I start the phone normaly and see that some things was from the stock sbf and some things was from the custom rom that i used before. In my case Pays Rom Defy 5.1 .
Then i look if the Data were accesible, and yes it was. it backup my sms and contacts with MyPhoneExplorer.
Reboot in stock manager again, wipe all data and installed a new sbf and new miui custom rom, like the install guide it said.

No CWM even after root and 2ndinit install after attempt to flash Codename Android JB

Hi. All was working well when I was running Quarx's version of CM10 on my Green Lens Defy. I could update to each new update CM10 ROM by clearing the data and cache then flashing the ROM and GApps. After that, I wiped the dalvik cache and reboot. Note my Defy is using a Froyo kernel.
Then I decided to try out Codename Android JB Beta and I did what I normally did with the ROM and then GApps. I ended up stuck in a bootloop. No problem I thought. I'd just reflash Quarx's own version of CM10 after wiping data and cache. I got stuck in a bootloop again. Odd. I tried it with older versions of Quarx's CM10 and they result in me getting stuck in a bootloop as well. So I flashed the US T-Mobile SPF for the Defy using RSD Lite then I logged in to BLur and such as that is needed to access the homescreen where I then turned on USB debugging. I then plugged in my phone into my computer to use SuperOneClick Root to root my device. It said my device was already rooted though I don't think that should happen since I flashed a stock 2.1 SPF. Well I rebooted and installed the 2ndinit apk then installed 2ndinit using the app. I think it said that 2ndinit was already installed. But if my memory is wrong in this case, I then installed 2ndinit and rebooted my Defy but I never got a blue LED.
Then I did the same steps as I did previously over and over again with variations to try to get it to work.
Can someone help?
I caution anyone who may attempt to install Codename Android JB Beta from CM10.
On another matter, downloading an OTA update then rebooting when pressing "install now" brings me to the triangle with exclamation screen and gets stuck there.
Have you done a fullwhipe in the Motorola Recovery before flashing the SBF??(usually you would get a bootloop without fullwhiping but maybe the solution is that easy )
And why did you flash a 2.1 SBF you should maybe try some other SBFs like the Froyo SBFs for your Country

Oh a full wipe in stokc recovery is needed? I'll try it.
Can you suggest a good SBF for a US Green Lens Defy if you know any?
Is it fine if I use the 3.4.2-179 CEE Deblur SBF as recommended by Quarz for a base then root, install 2ndinit. and flash CM10 from Clockwork Mod Recovery?

Yep fine for using that one but you should definitely check out the begginers guide for sbf rooting ect as you've been having trouble with this for the last few days now and I'd really like to see get this sorted once and for all
