Well, hello and good day to all of you!
I'm a new guy here at the forums by the way, I need help or instructions on how to root this particular Spreadtrum smartphone I just recently bought two days ago.
I tried searching the forum and found some similar or related threads, but I'm not quite taking the risk in following those threads without asking someone with the knowledge about this phone... I was even shocked to know that some Spreadtrum powered phones are not really an ICS device. XD
So anyway, here are the specs:
Model Number: SKK A6 (re-branded company/device name)
Android Version: 4.0.4 (?)
Baseband Version: DM_BASE_12A_W12.32
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected] #5
Software Version: MocorDroid 2.3.5.W12.20_P0_20130506.11023
Hardware Version: 1.1.0
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
Just to bump this thread, added info, I accessed the factory test mode and did a full phone test:
Can't really make up what's the rest written, the screen is too small to display it:
sprdroid_base-user 2.3.5 MocorDroid 2.3.5.W12.20_P0_20130506.11023
3PlatformVersion: MOCOR_880X (screen is to small too display the rest of this info)
W12.43_P1_Debug Project Version
20_modem$BASE Version: DM_B (again too small to display the rest of the information)
W12.43 HW Version: SC682 (?? and again, to small too display the rest)
(I'm assuming the next following lines is the modified firmware of the rebrander company

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...
This is not a question but a suggestion for a new to start thread and making it sticky.
The problem:
Defy+ rooting
After much research and attempts I still did not succeed in rooting my device and it seems that I'm not alone.
These are the details of my Defy+:
System version 45.0.2310.MB526.retail.en.DE
Model number:MB526
Android version: 2.3.6
Baseband version EPU93_U_00.60.03
kERNEL VERSION: [email protected]#1
Build number:4.5.1-134_DFP-231
Boot loader version: 09.10
I believe the Boot Loader version is the problem, all fixes seem to be made for lower BL numbers, but correct me if I'm wrong.
My suggestion: starting a sticky thread with succes storys of how you rooted your Defy+.
included in every post would be the phone details and the tools/procedures used. Extra info could be what you did after rooting succesfully: new sbf file, what mods, etc.
It would make live easier for all Noobs like myself. Instead of crawling through the enormous pile of info you go straight to the succesful endresult.

The exploits/scripts work all the same for versions til BL6.
For BL7 unfortunately the only method till now is to flash the rooted SBF. (method= Here.)
While a sticky thread sounds good,but I guess a wiki guide would be much better.
Hi neo.ank,
Wiki or sticky, for me its not important. But in this way we can learn much more & quicker than plowing through all these threads.
But your remark is most helpful to me.
Am I correct in my understanding that I can flash another sbf using Motorola's
RSDlite (without root access) and then, with the new suitable .sfb root my phone?
Like I stated before: I'm not hindered by any knowledge on the subject...

Yes.! You got it right..use the SBF's mentioned in the rooting thread.
To get the idea 'bout flashing, sbf's etc. Go through

Its for defy but the flashing and stuff is same.
Doesn't matter from where I send it, what matters is written above
Sorry, not allowed to post question to EFS Thread, not enough postings. Hope somebody here can help.
Rooted Samsung Captivate Glide running original ATT Gingerbread with instructions from original XDA thread. Terminal-app, nandroid and wifi-tether work well (rooted).
Wanted to use EFS Pro for backup before upgrading to ICS.
Installed EFS Pro 2.0.33.Release from above thread on Windows XP SP3. Installed Samsung USB Drivers. Installed .NET 4.0.
Installed BusyBox v1.20.2-Stericson on the Samsung Phone after EFS Pro complained about it missing.
EFS Pro seems to start OK (why the heck can't i copy&paste this text *sigh*):
Initializing ADB server... Okay.
Checking device, please wait...
Device is Perm Rooted!
BusyBox is installed on device!
Ready...
But then when i click on "Backup" in EFS Pro, it just shows an empty Device Partition table. No clicking around on Device Filter, endable/disable MD5 checksum/Refresh will help.
Device Info shows (stupid app not letting me copy&paste that output):
--- Hardware Information ---
Connected Device SN.: ....(seems ok)...
Device Manufacturer: SAMSUNG
Device Model: SAMSUNG-SGH-I927
Product Code: SGH-I927ZKAATT

CSC Version: Unknown
--- Software Information ---
Kernel Release: 2.6.36.3-I927RUXKJ5-CL652095
Kernel Version: #3 SMP PREEMPT Fri Oct 14 15:47:29 KST 2011
ROM Build: SGH-I927-user 2.3.5 GINGERBREAD UCKI3 release-keys
Android Version: 2.3.6
BusyBox Version: 1.20.2-Stericson
SU Bindary Version: 3.0.3
The only thing that looks unlike other screenshots is the unknown CSC Version, and i have no clue what that is.
I couldn't find a description of how to create a partition file. PLayed around a bit but no clue what the entries there mean, and couldn't find a documentation in EFS Professional for it either.
So, what should i do now. Anything i did do wrong ?
Older 1.12.6 works
Found older EFS Pro 1.12.6 somewhere on the net, installed, and it work (backed up EFS). Status output was the same.
So i guess there is a problem with the newer 2.0.33. Oh well. Will send a PM as well to the author.
