So, I bought it about 2 weeks but since I went on a vacation I didn't bothered to mess around much with it, but now that I'm back my friend directed me to this forum and I'm pretty excited with all the possibilities. the problem is that's a bit overwhelming, I don't know where to start, I started reading, and following the instructions, on this topic but came to a stop after the 3rd step since I have no idea what ROM the stock version uses:

I'm just gonna dump some of the info that I found out on the settings page of the phone, hopefully that will help:
System Version: Blur_Version 6.14.5.MB525.AmericaMovil.en.BR
Firmware Version: 2.1-update1
Version Number: JORLA_U3_6.14.5

Where do I get the 2.34 ROM ? I see it mentioned everywhere but there's no guide to get, and install, it.
Ok, dumb me, now I noticed the info on the right with the 2.34.1
Just another question, what is that version number related to ? Is that the Android version ?
Hi there,
I have a Motorola Defy on Vodafone UK, that has just had the Vodafone Froyo update. I have tried to find an answer to my question, but no joy.
I would like to get rid of the Vodafone software and use the UK retail version, as then my phone would work as advertised. Unfortunately I get confused by all the different software identifiers on my phone, and wondered if someone would be kind enough to explain what bits could/should be updated.
When I look at Settings/About Phone I see the following
System Version: Details removed to allow posting
Firmware version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.59.02
Kernel Version: Details removed to allow posting
BPflex version: UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R
APflex version: GAS_EMEA_USAJRDNFRYOVFGB_P021
I had to remove the software file identifiers to be able to post this, but the phone has just had the latest Vodafone Froyo update applied. Hopefully someone will still be able to help by explaining what the titles mean.
I have successfully rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, but am just trying to get a bit more more understanding before I do anything stupid. I quite like the idea of CM7, but think that may be a bit advanced for me, so will perhaps stick with the UK retail Motorola Froyo once I am sure I know what I'm doing.
Thanks
As you have rooted it yet you could delete app with titanium backup from the market.
I can say i have installed custom roms on my defy a few days after i got it, just follow the faq and how to post and you won't damage anything.
Btw, if something goes wrong you'll find help on this forum anyway...
Hello! I am sorry to get all of you into this mess with me just with my first thread. I´ll explain my current problem...
I was on CM 7.1, wanted to install Defy+ rom from Walter79, i did everything as the post explains but after installing fixed sbf, the phone just stays on M logo, make some intent to pass it and gives me the bootloader screen with this error err:a5, 70, 00, 00 ,2F... If someone can help me, please, i´ll appreciate a lot. Thanks from Argentina.
You will call me newbie, and you´ll be right xD.
Are you sure you flashed the fixed sbf? When did you get this error? After flashing a froyo rom? If yes, you flashed the full sbf.
Well, thank you for your reply! Lucky as smart, i try to find my original SBF, i went back to Froyo and then i did it again but directly from there...i choose again a new Defy rom with buttonfix from the Walter79´s folder (from do not which uploader) and try it again. But when i use the same fixed-sbf, i got stuck on the same loop...i flashed it again but with the fixed-sbf for the SOC green camera. It worked and now i am done.

thank you
Well, thanks for your confidence, i do not know a lot, but i am learning on the middle, i have read a lot and i feel able to help you, nobody helped me because i have made stupid questions :S...
Well, you said you want to update your Eclair to a new fresh platform ...but how high do you want to go? Do you know about the capabilities of the higher android versions? Plus...what do you want? I went from official 2.2 to CM7.1 wasn´t bad, it were very stable and fluid, a lot of customizations but non BLUR...so i decided to keep the most original GB as i can. So now i am on the Defy+ some some 1321.
I guess that first at all, if you want to go upgrade you should taste 2.2 anyways to go high.
Check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 and when you decide to go, i will help you if you want .
first root your defy,install 2nd init then chose which rom is better for you taste you may tray CM7 or CM9 or walters79 roms if you like blur stuff.
read this thread it may help you a lot!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982

if you install any CM7 or CM9 try to use base band switcher to get you cell on the right GSM network .
if you install any other rom you can edit the APN on your cell MENU>SETTINGS>WIRELESS & NETWORKS>MOBILE NETWORKS>ACCESS PIONT NAMES >MENU>NEW APN
Search on google the APN for your service provider.
if it help you hit the thanks at the end .
Install the 5/03/2012 quraks versión of CM 9 it comes with baseband switcher (on advanced settings) select argentina 900 2100 or something like that and then Google your Internet provider Apn and configure them (the last message shows how to do that )and you are done

Like that guy said, the problem is very common if you upgrade your firmware, if you got a network problem, install Defy_Baseband Switcher and choose the one for your country. Unless you live in a country not included on it, what would be a mess but i trust that you can do it.
thanks guys for every things i'm now:
- Motorola defy
- CM7 "latest nightly" (04/03/2012) firmware 2.3.7
<works 100% no bugs for me>

Hi!
I am quite new to the Android world. I just got a LG LU6200 LTE, the Korean one. It is running 2.3.5!
There are a lot of issues with the messaging and the Korean Carriers bloatware.
I stumbled on this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453565 and am planning to flash this ROM.
I need your help regarding the following things:
1. Are there any firmware updates that I need to do prior to the installation process? I haven't made any updates. The software is exactly the same as it came out of the box.
2. Rooting: I am on stock 2.3.5 I read somewhere that I need to upgrade to ICS Engineer Version(?) and then try rooting? How do I go about it?
3. Clockwork Mod Recovery : I think after the rooting part, I can do this, even then, can I just install the latest version of CWM, from their XDA thread, or do I need to use some other older version?
4. What are the best ROMs in terms of stability for this particular phone? I am not a power user and I just want the phone to work. A good battery life would be a plus though. Also, I read somewhere that there are issues with message character limits, hope I can avoid that with a good ROM.
----------
I am sorry if this post seems redundant, but the ones I read were more than a 15 months old and I fear the information given in that would be outdated.
---------
Also, I will update the post with all the relevant information I receive for this process, to help others in the same endeavour.
Thank you for your time!
Hello,
I'm a little stuck on how to install a custom rom on my RN8 Pro after rooting and wondered if someone could answer my questions / explain certain points in a simpler way that some of the guides in this forum. Ideally I'd like it explained as if you were trying to guide a 5 year old - I say this as the was an XDA guide exactly like this for my last phone which was fantastic and had no ambiguity.
I'm currently on:
- chinese rom
- MIUI11.0.3.0.QGGCNXM stable 2.0G
- Android 9
I believe all steps for unlocking the bootloader and rooting are complete. I followed the steps in THE ORIGINAL POST of this guide (I don't think the rest of the posts in that thread are relevant but not sure): https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-root-t3995919. Everything seems to work as detailed and Magisk Manager was installed though I've done nothing with this and not sure if I need to. Is this correct?
I'd like to install Lineage so, following a link from another thread in this forum, I've downloaded "lineage-17.1-20200607-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img.XZ". Is this correct or should I be looking for a ZIP? If so, where?
Assuming the above .XZ file is correct (or after I get the correct file from somewhere), what are the exact steps I need to follow to actually install the rom? I've read things referencing Dalvik cache, clearing certain things, etc but I'm really unclear on this bit and still not sure on the install process. I thought the mega thread would help but there's so much info there I'm even less sure what's applicable or not after reading it. I assume the TWRP I installed in the guide I followed above is used (or maybe an updated version?) but I'm hugely confused over the precise steps to take - the guides seem very detailed on unlocking / rooting but too brief (for me) on rom install. This is the point I would really like explained as if it were to a 5 year old please, along with any followup steps required.
I'm also unsure on the steps required for a backup in case things go wrong. Again, the various threads appear to have different methods depending on what version of TWRP you have installed (I think this is true, as I said I'm confused after a certain point). Maybe the points I did in the guide I followed covered this but I'm doubting it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - the chinese rom is driving me nuts and I'm really keen to move from it.
Thank you
you miui build is android 10 based (check the "Q" after the version number), so recheck the threads just in case.
Thank you for the reply but I dont understand. I've gone into all specs at it says:
Device name: Redmi
Device model: Redmi Note 8 Pro
MIUI version: MIUI 11.0.4 | Stable | 11.0.4.0(PGGCNXM)
Android version: 9
Android security patch level: 19/12/01
Are you saying the Android version is 9 but the MIUI is based on 10? If so that confuses me even more. There is a MIUI update pending (it's been wanting to update for a while) but I've held off installing it.
If you are correct and I need to downgrade (I think that's what you're saying?) then I'm pretty sure I understand how to achieve that part. It's the actual installing of the rom where I'm confused. For example, is the IMG.XZ the correct file type? Exactly what do I do to install it? Etc. The guides here spend a lot of time on the unlocking part - which for Xiaomi phones is a pain so understandable. It appears to me a bit less detailed on the rom install - likely because people on this site may have done this many times before. That's the bit I;m querying and unfamiliar with so any links to step-by-step guides (particularly for Lineage) after rooting would be helpful.
Thanks again for your response
hey man, check your first post, the miui version number (MIUI11.0.3.0.QGGCNXM), it says it's an android q (10). i've just wanted to tell you to be careful and eventually not brick your device, that's all
Thanks for the reply - I really appreciate it.
Bricking it is the last thing I want to do
I'll re-read the other threads (3rd time) but i'm not hopeful that I'll be able get anything more out of it than I already have. I think i've understood a fair bit of it (up to unlocking) but just can't seem to find a step by step guide for the rom.
Hopefully someone else will be able to chip in with some advice and thanks for what you've offered so far.
Thanks
