[how to] install froyo! {ultimate defy owners guide}

new method!! 30/5/11
download this
download
basically.....flash the nandroid from within recovery then straight into bootloader the flash .sbf via rds lite.
or not basically......
put the nandroid on ur sdcard in folders called "goapkrev" and inside that "backup"
ok you need to install clock work recovery from my ultimate defy package
then boot into clock work recovery
choose back up>then select the nandroid
wait for that to do its stuff
then pull battery out
then enter bootloader by holding volume up and power for 5 secs
then connect phone to pc
make sure you have moto drivers and rsd installed
then in rsd lite choose the "3.4.3_11-Fixed.BLUR.sbf" file and click
wait for that to finish and that should be it
if you get a boot loop enter recovery power and volume down for 5 secs you should get a black screen
then volume up and down at the same time
wipe all data
reboot!
that should be froyo!!
you can now install a custom rom ontop of that if you wish
thats from memory but i think that should work
any questions ill try to help
my old guide below
contains my ultimate defy package which has every thing you need to root, recovery and install froyo all zipped up in a nice package if you prefer to do it that way
Code:
[color="#0000FF"][size="6"][u][b]This guide will show you how to get foryo on your Motorola defy ahead of schedules!! [/b][/u][/size][/color]
use at own risk not fully tested
[color="#00FF00"][size="4"]as it stands every thing seems to be working in froyo now including wifi gps camera market led and sensors
however it is still a custom rom and i acept no responsibilty if u brick it which is very hard on this phone[/size]
[/color]
[color="#0000FF"][size="4"]First i reccomend you download my ultimate defy package it contains every thing you should need to get froyo working! (still needs testing but should work)[/size][/color]
[size="6"][url="http://www.filefactory.com/file/b577129/n/Ultimate_Defy_Package.zip"]Downlaod my ultimate defy package[/url][/size]
[color="#FF0000"][b][size="5"]Detaled method(scroll down for short method)[/size][/b][/color]
Just because you can drop it in the bath doest protect it from bricking make sure you read carefully to avoid this and if you do brick it it can usually be recovered. I accept no responsibility for what happens but i will try and help.
1. You should have already downloaded my ultimate defy package so navigate to the froyo section
2. First install moto drivers either 32 or 64 bit depending on your os version
3. Then install RSD lite
4. Then reboot pc
5. Then put either the T-Mobile US or GB update (the whole folder) on your phones sd card under goapkrev/backup
6. Power phone on into bootloader mode by holding power on and volume up for about 5 secconds
7. Then start RSD lite and in the file name section navigate to the (JDGC_U6_0.26.0_SIGNED......sbf) image inside the Chinese 2.2 folder
8. Select device from the box below and click start and give it about 5 mins until it says its done and let it reboot
9. Then use super one click to root phone (make sure usb debugging is enabled in applications>development>usb debugging (tick box))
10. Next turn usb debugging off and install the recovery apk
11. Then click on install system recovery and allow super user permissions
12. Then boot into recovery mode (navigate around using volume, power to select)
13. Clear data and cache
14. Then go to back up & restore > advanced restore and choose the GB or US update you put their earlier
15. Wait for that to finish and then pull battery out
16. When you put is back in you need to boot into bootloader mode again (volume up and power)
17. Then in the same way use RSD lite to flash the file inside the boot image folder
18. Reboot
That should be froyo!!!

Sorry so can u flash the gb. Sfb straight off and I will work. This method does work but i made the guide b4 it became available and only just got round to posting it here. This way does work but I may update it if that way works it sounds simpler

Hi!
I live in Brazil. Then, what update should I use? T-Mob or UK? Any of them will work?
And, I saw a large number of defys that had unworking/dead flash and unworking Market. On this mod, both of them works fine?
Mobile info:
Sys version: Blur_Version.6.14.5.MB525.AmericaMovil.en.BR
Version Number: 01
Model: MB525
FW version: 2.1-Update1
Version Number: JORLA_U3_6.14.5
Thx.

Is this the UK 3.4.2-117 froyo you are talking about?
or this:
2.2.1 Froyo, Build 3.4.3-3 en.GB with Blur

Thanks! I wish this is available before I flashed 2.2. It really scared me when things went wrong.

*enter bootlader mode flash TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree.sbf
i'm currently at this part. i flash it and was at 'please manually reboot your phone', but when i do it, i'm stuck in a boot loop. any idea?
i tried redoing the flash again, and even went to wipe the data again before starting the flash again, but still stuck in a boot loop.

nice how-to guide!

PLEASE HELP ME....i did everything , i followed instructions perfectly, but when it came to letting the phone reboot after flashing the sbf file it just did not reboot, now nothing is happening on my phone at all. i think it bricked please help me A.S.AP thanks

please help me, its not switching on or anything, the only sign of life is a white led when connected to computer via usb.

it is still being recognised by rsd, ive re flashed it 3 times and left to reboot but the phone just does not reboot, i realy am stuck on this one

well i have re flashed the original
JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8TMGB030.0R_USAJORDANTMGB_P039_A015_M003_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
and it is back as it was before...that was a right panic attack i was having!...but any way does anyone know what could have gone wrong? because in rsd it goes up to executing 100% but it never reboots the phone.??

could it have been because my defy was rooted? or could it be because busybox wasnt installed properly? i do not know

hmmm sounds odd.
thats what happens when u have downgradability problems what version where u on b4?
i know what u mean panic attack when it wont turn on grrrrrr
but youll be happy to know as well as being hard on the outside its quite tough on the inside and very hard to brick!

yeah thank god for that hey!
i was / am running android 2.1 build U3_ 2.51.1 but it is rooted.

thats odd then. i have no idea why that happened rooting it shouldnt effect it ne way.
however this guide is outdated now and their are easyer ways to do it now
but personally i would reccomend to jump straight up to gingerbread with cm7 its totally the dogs dangalys

would it be possible for you to point me in the direction of that please? sorry i would look myself but id probly get the wrong version or something. also would it be possible instead just to download and use the nordic one in uk? would i still get internet and signal and stuff?
the nordic one from herehttp://and-developers.com/sbf:defy ? or would the orange 2.3 one work for a t-mob uk?

Note 2 stuck at Start Up screen. Please help

My Galaxy Note 2 is stuck at the Start up screen screen. Where its an all black bg and simply says Samsung Galaxy Note II
I have tried using recovery mode, cleared cache, and reset to factory. Neither troubleshoot method worked.
I have tried numerous Odin autoroots. none work. Whenever I try to root it fails. Im guessing it might be because I dont have Dev Debug enable and I cant get into my phone to enable it. because of this issue
I have tried looking for TWRP .tar but every file I download the file is always a .img
The Model of the phone is a SGH-T889 (T-mobile Note II)
I am all out of ideas, and I dont know what to do. I have been search for answers for hours and everytime I think I found a solution it doesnt work.

What ROM was your phone on when this happened ?
Can you get int to download mode ? If yes try flashing stock ROM and see if it helps.

It was on the offical default rom. the phone was never modded, or rooted.
My niece downloads a bunch of kiddie games onto the phone, we constantly have to uninstall them. My thoughts and the T-mobile tech suspects that it the crash may have been caused my too many updates or a bad updated file most likely due to the games or game.
I can get the phone into download mode, and recovery mode.
In reovery mode I have 6 options
reboot system now
apply update from ADB
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cashe partition
apply update from cache
I have tried Apply update from cache, Wipe cache partition, then Wipe data.factory reset. I also attempted to put a CF auto root .md5 file and a KIES .md5 file which I believe is a stock firmware file on a SD card. to try to use the apply update from external storage option, but neither file showed up when I went into the option. So I guess I didnt have the right sort of file.
So recovery didnt work so I tried using Odin v3.07 and Odin v3.09 with CF auto root files for the SGH-T889, that didnt work, ecerytime I tried to apply it, It was always Fail within seconds. I tried other root files that are made for other versions of the Galaxt Note 2 like the GT-N1700 but those also simply failed.
I tried using what I believe to be stock frimware files with Odin. and those also Failed.
Im not exactly the best person with these. I learn mostly what I know from the internet and reading various forums, youtube videos, and other people experiences. I cannot find anyone who's problem has not yet been fixed through the above methods. so I really dont know where to go from here.
I think the reason I cant Flash from PC is because it might be possible USB Debugging is not enabled. Not sure if this is what is causing all the Fails in odin

Lets see if we can get this resolved.
1) Do you remember what version of Android the phone was on 4.3 or 4.1.2 ?
2) Put your phone in download mode then connect to your computer via usb. Start Odin in admin mode (right click and run as admin).
3) Now do you see ID:COM section turn blue ? Under message you can see "Added!". If you see this then phone is recognized by Odin.
4) If your phone was on 4.3 then download this most up to date firmware - from here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/22863/T889UVUCMK7_T889TMBCMK7_TMB/
5) Once downloaded, extract the file(use 7zip or winrar), once extracted you will see a file with .md5 extension.
6) Now going back to ODIN, click on PDA and then browse to this file which you just extracted.
7) This takes some time, once done you should see a message like "Checking MD5 finished successfully", "Leave CS".
8) You can leave Auto reboot and F-reset time checked.
9) Now click Start and let the process finish.
10) If everything goes fine you should see a green message "Pass"
Let me know how it goes.

I have the same problem as the OP (boots only up to Samsung logo with black bg) but it was not caused by niece downloading games but instead from trying to install jedi masterx2 rom.
I did what ciphercodes recommended and put phone in download mode and odin went through the motions of installing the stock os (in my case version 4.3) but after apparently installing the rom it again booted up to Samsung note II logo in black bg.
luckily I can install either Clockword mod recovery v6.0.4.3 or teamwin v2.8.6.0
The clockword mod recovery can read the external sd card (whereas funnily enough the teamwin can't) and I can attempt recovery from previous backups on cmr or to install a rom from zip file but neither of these work - reboots again to Samsung logo in black background after apparently installing the rom.
both teamwin and cwr mention that they can't mount system and that's probably why no rom is install either using cwr or odin so my guess is that I have to reformat the partitions cause probably efs file is corrupt but I don't know how to do that and I have done extensive search in google but have not found a solution
so ciphercodes if you or anyone reading this can help please reply to this message

I am uncertain of which version the phone was on. If you need I can call t-mobile and have them tell me which version it was on.
I did these steps. the file took a hour to download. and It still didn't work. I follow all steps down to the exact. and when I pressed start. within one second it said FAIL. just the other attempts I made.

Unless your t889 Note II was sitting in a drawer and not being updated for the last year or so you probably have 4.3
When you go to download mode do you see "custom binary download: yes ..."
and do you see "knox warranty void:" ?
if so, your phone has been rooted.
but unlike your case, when I try to install stock rom through Odin, it goes through the motions of installing and gives message pass - that is that the stock rom has been installed, but unfortunately it has not installed any rom that my phone can read.

Since your phone is not rooted then I think that ciphercodes advice will not work as you can only install a stock rom that way only if your phone is first rooted.
Probably you should try to root your phone using instructions from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2562994
But this might not work for you as it could be that efs file is corrupted or something else as we both boot up to a black screen that only has Samsung logo

Yeah the chainfire root fail as well. I have tried every file for all the Galaxy II's including mines. none work. Always FAIL in Odin. I'm guessing there is just nothing I can do

Since your phone is not rooted you may be able to get it repaired under warranty. I think that Samsung warranty is only good for a year, but if you purchased your phone with a American Express gold card (I think other gold cards will also apply) your warranty is extended to double what the original was. So perhaps you have a chance to have your credit card pay for the repair.
Otherwise:
I am no expert but if you want to continue playing with your phone before you get expert advice you may want to play with the recovery mode. To enter recovery mode press volume up and home and power buttons at the same time. once you feel vibrate or after a while release the power button but continue to hold volume up and home buttons and then you will enter recovery mode. you may want to go to menu that says wipe data/factory reset and see if that works. It may be that it is like my phone and the system cannot be mounted in which case you will get that message. After you are through to get out of this menu remove the battery.
But please be aware that I am no expert and you are using this info at your own risk
but I think of doing something catastrophic using this advice in my non expert opinion is small.

Yeah the warranty is expired. and I have tried recovery mode. thats actually the first step before trying to apply a firmware. So recovery hasnt worked either. Guess I will just have to get a new phone. thank you all for oyu help tho. I apperciate it

I was just reading through the thread.. It doesnt seem like you tried flashing Tmobiles Stock 4.3 Firmware in download mode. If you tried to flash a 4.1.2 Firmware when the phone was already updated then I think thats where it failed. Try again but with the 4.3 Firmware through ODIN. After it finishes try rebooting it manually and/or if it doesnt boot again then go back into recovery and factory/data reset again...shouldnt hurt to try..

From my knowledge the other person who first replied gave me 4.3 firmeware fild link. But in the chances of it could u provide me with a link to a 4.3 firmware u believe will work, because all the ones I found have not worked

Please tell me this isn't a brick! At this screen (image attached) and can't boot.

Hey folks,
Thanks for looking into this thread. I have a galaxy tab pro 8.4 wifi (t320). I had CM12 on it but my cousin accidentally factory reset everything and so when I try to press power+down it gives me a warning (image link: http://i.imgur.com/lo0Plgr.jpg) that says "Downloading a custom OS can cause critical problems etc. If you want to download a custom os press volume up to cancel press volume down. If I try to cancel, I'm basically stuck at the cm 12 logo where it just keeps on going round and round and....round.
Any idea on what to do? At this point I simply want to be up and running and don't care about root and so if I have to return to stock I have no problem.
Cheers!

Attach it to your computer and try adb.
Command adb reboot recovery.
Copy the cm12 rom you want to the devices and install it should most likely do the trick

I used to have TWRP but I don't think the recovery is there anymore. When I try to press power + volume down I just get the screen I linked to below, not twrp.

Hi, thanks so much for your reply. I went to youmobile and it says that there is no firmware available for my version (8.4 wifi-t320) I did find it in sammobile though. Yet in it, it gives many different countries. I got my tab 8.4 as a gift and am not sure which country it's from. Is there any way of finding out? I do have my serial number for the tab pro. And if it isn't possible to find out can I just flash any country's firmware considering that it's a wifi only device? Will this have any negative ramifications?
Also, is there a update guide to flashing stock firmware via odin tool if you're not sure usb debugging is turned on? As I understand it, it has to be on but because my cousin factory reset my phone I have no way of booting into cm 12 and checking.
I apologize for my lack of knowledge. I'm very new to this. Again, thanks a lot!

Isn't the recovery combination POWER+VOLUP? Just get in there, wipe things clean and flash CM12.1 all over.
If that won't do, use Odin to flash any T320 firmware - region doesn't matter much. I usually choose the latest from one of the EU countries for less bloat.

Stuck at boot logo after partitioning externalSD in twrp

Hi guys. One of my friend has this phone. Yesterday night he did these steps:
1. unlocked bootloader (booting properly)
2. flashed twrp recovery
3. flashed su for rooting but didnt know how to update su binaries (booting properly)
4. went to twrp and partitioned external sd card (fat32+ext3+swap)
5. fixed permission
after restarting it got stuck at htc boot logo
so he gave me phone for repairing xD
here's status.
i removed sdcard.. put it in card reader.. n merged all partitions into single one just like it was before partitioning
now, i am able to see that white screen called "software status" (don't what does it called) through which i can have access to:
recovery
factory reset
simlock
check smartsd
image crc
show barcode
so basically, i need to get the installed stock htc firmware working again.
i searched forums and found European stock 5.0.2 fw. so should i flash that zip from twrp on this Indian origin phone??
or should i try factory resetting from that white screen??
basically i want to undo partitioning modifications from os and get the phone working on stock fw just like before. thanks

The "software status" white screen is fastboot. After reading your post, I think that the problem is that the device is rom-less, and I assume it happened when your friend repartitioned SD card.
Since the device is unlocked and you have a custom recovery installed, I'd go and try to install any of the custom roms posted here in the forums.
Check what version of twrp you have because there are some roms that don't run with older versions.

Thanks for replying. I'll try any custom based rom. The recovery is 2.8.1.0 (AZ development flash screen appears before twrp home screen). However, I want to know, if the European stock fm will work on this Indian variant device? Coz I tried to search for Indian / Asian fm files but no luck. How do I get exact fm matching with this one?

By fm you mean radio?
Anyway don't worry about that, because I live in Argentina and haven't had any problems with any rom I flashed.
If I were you, I'd flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3249856 because it's pretty much bugless and doesn't have any mods pre-installed.
Just out of curiosity, could you go to fastboot and post the software version number? That'd be useful in case we can find a stock backup for your variant.

Did factory reset rooted XT 1799-2, now phone only boots into recovery mode

Hi,
My previous post relates to this one. Due to that problem I got, I had to factory reset my device to get my camera working again. However, instead, my phone rebooted into TWRP and would not boot system normally. When I tried to go to factory mode via fastboot I ended up in endless bootloop. Back in TWRP I tried to restore my backed up ROM from before rooting, but nothing really changed. I am really desperate because I have not find any solutions for my model and I don't want to use other montana models stock ROMs as I suspect them not to be compatible. What shall I do?
Cheers

Flash montana_retcn stock rom via rsd lite or fastboot and your device will boot again but it will lose all your files

Thanks senor, but how do I flash it via fastboot? Can't I use TWRP instead?

Ok I was able the Stock rom, but it is Chinese, not the global one wihout Gapps and lots of bloatware. Do you know if there is also a GLOBAL stock ROM I can get? Conversely, is there perhaps a custom ROM like Lineage OS or others that is compatible with this device? Cheers

Sorry this is the stock rom of montana_retcn, to install the playstore by the store that comes in it, and it has the English language.
The rom that you were supposed to be a shop rom of the store that you bought, mine came with one of this but unfortunately I do not know where it has to download ...

Ok I guess there is nothing more to be done here. Any custom ROMs are also probably not lying around too I guess :/

Turn off the device, boot into Fastboot Flash Mode using vol down + power, using volume keys scroll and select factory mode and device will turn on. the next time you boot up the device, it won't go into TWRP directly. I have faced this issue many times. Hope this helps.

Not in this case. What Factory Mode did was that it got stuck in loading loop playing the Moto logo endlessly for over 5 minutes. Anyway, the phone is now hard bricked so I am facing even larger issue )

I'm having the same problem with my wifes g5s.
I have found that from twrp>restart>bootloader (phone then enters bootloader) I can the immediately choose "start" to boot the phone.
But that is a hassle I'd prefer my wife not having to go through...

Flash stock ROM via fastboot problem will be solved..
As far as people who need play store can flash gapps via TWRP as a same method we use for custom ROMs.
P.S. i will not suggest to buy XT1799-2 because this SKU is purely made for Chinese Market, if you need any custom ROM go to Weibo.com/diyroms and post a request to build a custom ROM for this device.
And there are some custom ROMs available that you can search via baidu.com ( Chinese Search Engine).
I will try to find any ROM and post for you guys and also post. Request to build for XT1799-2.
CHEERS

so have you find any global custom rom for this device ?
