hello
i just installing 3.4.3_11-Stock.UKTmobile_BLUR and my defy now not rooting
i tried su to root and he tell he have new update if updated tell me error
z4root... i click in permanent root and after 1 minute he close the app from himmself !!!
search for Superoneclick v1.7 and it should do the trick
Z4root doesn't work on this rom.
As mentioned you need Superoneclick.
If you look in the Defy Android Dev forum it is in the "how to sticky guide" at the top of the page the version for the 2.51 rom worked for me & i'm running the 3.4.3-11 rom on my Defy.
Sent from my MotoDefy.
I can't find anything on this so I'm either the noobiest here or I am just blind.
I have a Defy with me here and its Sim free and just plain 2.1 Blur. So I want to know if I can just install 2nd init download MIUI/CM7 and instal it through clock work? Any advice is appreciated
Please read some more. I'd recommend you take a look at the 'Defy Android Development' section. To help you a bit:
You should first root your phone.
Then flash Android 2.2 (flash a nandroid backup and a fixed sbf to keep downgrade ability)
After you've done that you can install Cyanogen.
Yes, read the CM7 FAQ Thread in the Defy Android Development.
I think you should use fixed and flashing method so that you can have downgradability to 2.1

Go to 2.2 stock via MSU or RSD anyway. Since this is an official update, Warranty is not an issue. You don't need root to do this.
Once there, and you may find 2.2 very usable (I do and you know from the Blade how much cooking I do!), you can then try 2.3 flavours. They need you to be at 2.2 anyway.
Hi
How can i return to the froyo 2.2 my Defy came with? Which sbf do i need for Germany? Or ist this working over a *.zip?
Wanna be able to return to stock in case i want to sell it..
Plz help or guide me to the right thread...cant find it
EDIT: Ok found the info here on XDA...
have you tried browsing through the official SBFs page? There is a list of FULL SBFs (I think) that you may flash on your phone.
But you have to remember what particular CG version you had prior to installation of CM7. Check the thread about the Beginner's Guide to Motorola Defy. It's a very informative guide.
downgrade
is it possible to downgrade from defy 2.3.4 gingerbread?

I think so. I'm assuming that Gingerbread 2.3.4 and 2.3.5 are under the same CG versions (that's from how I understood the All-in-One guide).
But you haven't flashed any FULL SBFs yet, right? You just installed the CM7?
I've got a Motorola Defy+ which was running on 2.2 when i purchased it.
In modding my defy+ i managed to update it to 2.3.6 with a full sbf file before being aware of the whole "no downgrade" option.
I really like the look of wajkiui rom. However upon reading the details of it; it seems that its only available to 2.2? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110
Is there any possible way at all that I can downgrade 2.3.6 to 2.2? I'd then just do a fixed sbf + nandroid backup.
or
Is there a version of the wajkiui rom that is made available for 2.3.6 that i'm not aware of?
I've done a lot of searching on xda and havent been able to find an answer.. so thought id make a thread
Thanks
Hi all!
This is my very first post here, although i`m quite familiar with most topics related to our defy`s.
I`m starting this post because i need to share my experience with the latest and the greatest mistake I ever done since i have this phone, so all of you who are considering to update, be aware!
So, i flashed yesterday in my red-leans defy the GB 2.3.5 rom (to be more precise 4.5.1_DFP_125) and got this message from moto that there is an update to DFP 231. My rom was a bright clean one so the update process went smoothly and the result is a wonderful 4.5.1_DFP_231 rom with Bl 7 and unrootable (yet).
Although the rom is excellent and everything works as it should be (quite fast and great battery life for a full-blur rom), you must be aware that the absence of root limits almost all the fun part that the hardware of your defy (or defy+) is able to deliver. Keep this in mind before updating your bl6 (rootable) rom.
Sorry for another post on this topic but being new in this forum i`m not allowed to post in the development section of defy (where I firs intended to write).
A similar thread you can find here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523950 )
If somebody knows a way or will find a way to root all the new Bl7 roms, please share. Until then cheers from vazduh.
Being an android newbie and a Defy+ user, maybe my respond is irrelevant and sorry if it is.
My rom version was 6. I made the OTA update from DFP-125 to DFP-231, which also updated the boot.img, probably making it version 7? as you're saying.
Then I flashed a full DFP-125 sbf with version 6, and everything was fine. Rootable as ever.
So, the problem you're describing is that there is not a full sbf you can use for the first defy to do something like this or I'm totally missing the point? I though only a full sbf with CG31.smg could destroy the downgradeability.
i dont know what firmware i have before in my MB526, remember only android 2.3.6, my phone download 16mb via OTA and i have BL 7 and DFP-231. Can i try uptade sbf to DFP-125 ?
My phone had 2.3.5 when purchased.
I can flash this version 6 rom after the OTA update.
I wipe and use DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTES_P025_A023_M002_HWp3_WIG148097_Service1FF.sbf.
And everything goes factory default.
If you have flashed a version 7 full sbf, I think that the downgradeability is lost.
Why don't you guys try the ZergRush exploit or GingerBreak ?
Herpderp Defy.
not work for me, phone launch only DFP-188

is your phone defy or defy+ ??? which variant ?? the post you have given has amused me cause as far as i know defy wasn't supposed to be upgraded to 2.3.6 . and u have only stated that you mobile is red lense defy that is also basic defy with bayers module variant but not defy+ . so kinda confused . can you tell which variant is urs ? is it defy with red lense ? or defy+ ?
From DFP 231 no downgrade just to 188
no root
no downgrade
(yet)
just wait
188 and 231 (or 2311 / 2312) are all on BL7, so downgrading 231 to 188 should be possible...
but there is no way to root these roms (for now)...
@joydeep:
i think he has got an defy+, cause there will never be an OTA to gingerbread on Defy
and i really have to say:
ON EVERY THREAD WITH UPGRADING TOPIC IS A BIG RED TEXT THAT DOWNGRADING / ROOTING IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR 188 AND UP

My phone is a regular defy with red leans, but after i flashed the defy+ oficial 2.3.5 ROM (DFP-125 for UK as i remember) i suppose that it "became" a defy+. This is why i received the OTA update message from moto to update to DFP 231 (which i know is a BL7 ROM). After the update process, i tried to root the phone with Superoneclick 2.3.3 and failed (never failed before, with previous ROMS). So my coclusion is that the 16 MB OTA update delivered me a 4.5.1 134 - DFP 231 rom which is not downgradeable and unrootable yet.
And yeah its amusing to now how easy can transform your defy into a defy plus (btw i didnt experienced any problems regarding battery indicator or camera issues. In fact the phone runs flawless after the update)

Strange. I myself tried to root the new OTA-updated 231 ROM and failed with every known method (known by google search at least), but i admit that i didnt try to re-flash the old 2.3.5 rom (451. 134 DFP 125) for the simple fact that a assumed it would be impossible, resulting in black screen. But i now have a full 231 UK sbf and perhaps would give a try to reflash 2.3.5 rom. It least this is what i understood from your post.
Cheers

its a defy RED lens regular, but because the hardware is identical with defy+ it was considered as a defy+. The only difference i know between the two phones is the battery (processor: OMAP 3630 but i know it says that defy has 3610 and defy+ 3620, no... its the same; GPU PowerVR SGX530, 512 RAM and so on)
I also have a regular defy in which I flashed the 2.3.5 Offical SBF so in a way it became a Defy +
I also received the OTA update, which changed the screen lock btw, and I noticed that it took away my root. I tried with Superoneclick 2.3.3 and 2.3.2 and they both failed. I also tried to flash the 2.3.5 Official SBF and it resulted in a black screen and wouldn't boot. So after 2 restless hours, I found the 2.3.6 rom and my phone was brought back to life.
But now I still have no root.. Does anyone have a solution?

Not yet, and a I have a nasty feeling that we will have to wait a bit longer... As I read around the topic i understood that the new roms which have Bl7 came with a new script or something and this is why the old rooting methods didnt work. We need new stuff
On the other hand its a good rom, no complains about it, except root ofc. Keep digging
