Hey friends...
My friend has recently bought a defy in India... It came with eclair...
Now he wants to upgrade to gingerbread... But he doesn't want to root... So can anyone please help me? As I'm a Samsung user, I don't know anything about Motorola devices or how to upgrade them... So I would appreciate a noob friendly guide...
Thanks...

He can update to Froyo, but there is no official Gingerbread update from Motorola for the Defy (and there will never be one).
If he doesn't want to tinker a bit he won't get Gingerbread (there are also 2.3 ports of the Defy Plus that work quite well, but rooting is necessary to install anything like that).

You can mess around with your Defy s much as you want, root, install ROMs, flash sbfs... And you can ALWAYS go back to the stock Foyo/ Eclair firmware your Defy came with. Even if something went wrong and the phone doesn't boot anymore, just flash a stock clean Motorola firmware and everything's gone (the ROM you had before, also the root). So also if your Defy has a hardware problem and you want to send it back, just go back to stock before and you don't have to worry about the warranty.

I don't think so. if you changed the bootloader version you will be stuck on some higher kernel and can not easily go back.. (that was what happend to epsylon3 - one of the main devs of CM9 for defy) - so if you flashed official froyo - you will not be able to go back to eclair for example. (as is also pointed out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537)
A piece of advice: read a lot (here in this forums) before you flash something. It help you not getting in trouble with your phone.

There is no point in using defy with the buggy stock Eclair/Froyo ..
If u want to see the complete potential of defy Root it and Install CM7..
and yes you can go back when ever you want but make sure u take the Nandroid backup of the stock ROM that u r using and check whether the official sbf of ur region is available to download.so that u can flash it and restore the nandroid backup .. !!

Right, that was the only thing I wasn't thinking about. That is what is usually written in big red letters when there's something about these sbfs. But normally there is no need to change the bootloader version by installing the (not fixed) 2.3.4 sbf.
The only really current reliable options for the Defy imho are CM7.1, MIUI (and some versions based on it) and the Defy+ based ROMs (like MS2Ginger). With none of them you risk to be stuck somewhere - I flashed stock Froyo a dozen times without problems.

I'm trying to find guys who have jakjujp ROM and asking them out.
Two things about forum :
1) when i reply to someone (that's wt i did when i saw their posts), will it create a new thread? I din't intend to create new threads, i just replied to them.
2) If you are going to start a new thread, there is no need to spam a bunch of other threads - wt do u mean by this?
Hi all
do you know if the version deployed by samsug in the different countries is the same one ?
What I wonder is do I need to wait for the real french version of the ROM or can I download the one that is written here of any country and it will be the same ?

Just the modem and bloatware will be different.. however I think you can also flash your country's stock rom when it reaches ur country.. it wont raise your knox counter to 1

You can flash any rom from any country just make sure you have the correct phone model number.

Bonjour Nico,
I'm French myself.
Look at what happened to me yesterday...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48232525&postcount=1
I really wonder why you would want to upgrade to official 4.3...
But if you insist... If you want, we could exchange our phones
Hi Surfinette !
Nice to see a girl here !
Actually, I don't have my device rooted anymore since I bought my Samsung Note II,
- because I need it to be stock in order to get my business mails,
- because I understood I did not need it really... what for ? I can install all of the apps I want, I can develop my own apps with AIDE
- because I don't need my device to be running on a custom ROM as stock Samsung ROM already contains all options I need
...
So yes, I still would like to install this new 4.3 SAMMY's ROM, which I am waiting for so long...
However, I share your disappointment, regarding you needs and wishes

Yes. Hongkong 4.3 has been reported as the most stable for 4.3.
U can try it. Just remember that KNoX thing won't allow u to revert back to 4.1.2

You can ofcourse revert back to 4.1.2 or any other version - you will just loose the ability to run KNOX ever again.

Even if I didn't care for a custom Rom, I would want to be rooted, in order to use truly battery-saving apps, add-killing apps, kill some useless system bloatware, use a more efficient kernel, use a firewall to prevent many apps to connect to the internet against my will (and sending whatever data to whatever server without me knowing what they are sending behind my back),...

Hi,
I want to root my
LG G3
Model D855
FW: V10i-ISR-XX
Base: KVT49L.A1408602401
If I want to go back to that.. How can I do this? I didn't see my model at the KDZ files list..
1. Can I flash the stock (Any) and from LG PC Suite Change to ISRAEL and Flash the FW? (So back to ISRAEL stock FW as above?)
2. Is there an issue or trails / tracks of root after flash? such as KNOX on Samsung?
** Which root method do you recommend?
is it possible only to unroot the device without complete lose of data and ROM flash?
Thanks :=)

What is the meaning of all the letters? LG is very new to me on flashing FWs.. and I'm not a newbie about it at all..
And which one do I need?
I supose that this is the file that can flash the phone and "Un-Root" it.. right?

You'll have to do some reading on your part, as I have a different model and I'm not familiar with yours. You should be able to flash the stock FW through the lg update tool and that should revert you back to unrooted stock.
OK, I've managed to download the right one for me. Thanks :=)
P.S.
Where can I find some useful info like that?
what about that question?
Is there an issue or trails / tracks of root after flash? such as KNOX on Samsung?
You should know that one I think.. it's not a model related

I'm assuming you mean is there any evidence left that you were rooted? A simple google search lead me in the right direction, you might want to try that next time before creating a new thread on the same topic.
Although, this is for AT&T ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/root-counter-qfuse-t2819471
1. Use the search option before making new threads, like the person above said.
2. You should consider thanking the people in the above posts who took the pain of replying to you, though they could have scrolled on.
Make use of the Thanks button mate, that's what it is meant for

Friends (My A520W) I have a doubt because when I installed a Custom ROM Android 7 on the modem in Android 8 I'm going the IMEI?
There is some way to recover the IMEI in that Custom ROM
There is some way to work like this or it is impossible????'
Why is the IMEI broken?
your phone is dead. samsung will reject it.
offline store will ask you to throw your phone away.
but i, i will pay for your phone. us$10?

You need to flash android Nougat bootloader and modem. Those two versions need to be the same as the android version. There is a guide in the guides section that can help you. Also, you can't install earlier version of bootloader and modem if those are the newest versions right now. If that is the case, you can install an 8.1 custom ROM and it should be fine.
