My 1st time expericance with root/roms/RSD

Picked up my US (T-mo)Defy last month, it was running Eclair.
I've been reading as much as I could before I attempted to do anything that voids my warrenty. I couldn't wait for the US Froyo release...
So I rooted with SuperOneClick because z4root did not seem to work. Then I got clockwork installed. My first attempt was to install Jboogie3's "beta4Offical" thinking it would keep Eclair and just clean up this blur nonsense. But when I used clockwork recovery, it just hung. No worries, I've still got a working phone.
Next I attempted "JBoogie3 Deblur Honey" and that put me in a boot loop <that was a Oh ****! moment>. Since I could still get into stock recovery and bootloader, I was not too worried. I happen to have the T-mo OTA update.zip on my Defy, so I attempted to flash/install that...but I got the "status 7" error (I think b/c it was still rooted). Since I wanted my phone back that night, I went ahead and installed 3.4.2_145(Finland) .sbf (I think...it was late) with RSD Lite. Anyhow, it got me back up! I had saved my APN earlier, so things were working, but still stock.
Not leaving well enough alone, I figured "why the hell not" and rooted->clockwork and then recovered to "JBoogie3 Deblur Honey". That worked this time.
Happy as a clam now. I was worried about the "H" for my network, but I did speedtests and browsed around and I'm getting 800-100kbps and I can live with the "H"...like a sleeper!
I'm gonna continue to read and try new "roms" (I'm still wet behind the ears on the terms).

I also did it wrong when I tried to restore the orange recovery, and ended up flashing the orange sbf. But its working well and I'm happy as well.

i also own the phone from less than a month and i also messed up everything , install 3.4.2 before reading about non downgreadable....... rooted 3.4.2 finland installed clockwork , took a nandroid backup of 2,34 trying to restore to official 2.1 eclair version it restored and i was happy but no luck it got me on the bootloop....... now i am flashing to 3.42 but not finland ... its uk version hope it works and the phone dont dies.......
by the way my moto swimmed already but its fine ... its very cool to watch your phone at the bottom of water sparkling v ery tough on the outside hope i wont kill it from the inside
edit: installed the uk blur rom but it doesnt give the starting options (LANGUAGE) to change them... now its in german , and reset factory settings doesnt work pushing the button button but it dingoes nothing.... crap , reseting with system recovery also doest help resets but its in german again

Thanks for the report, im relatively new to the defy as well ( just over a week now ) and at some time i will probably start looking into the various roms+upgrades.
the only thing holding me back is the official 2.2 update is due soon ( apparently )
and im not sure if i would be able to return back to my current settings/ version 2.1 should i need to.

New to android, new to Moto-Defy
Fellow Defy users,
Greetings of peace!
I am noob here in the xda developers
First off, really don't want to spam threads.. So I chose to post my message here in this thread for a semi-short explanation of what I want to share.
I am new to the android phones (previously a symbian user), and I just got my new Motorola Defy - Black which I bought here in the Philippines.
I bought 2 models actually one for myself and one for my brother as he requested one as well.
To cut the chase..I just want to share some inputs.
To my shock, the phone has some mods already as I opened it.
**take note that the battery is sealed and all other stuffs are sealed when I got the phone*
It has adobe flash player 10 (not flash lite)
Super User
R. Explorer
ITFUNZ (which is all in chinese)
UC Browser
I believe this are the things needed to "root" your phone.
I heard it's better when your phone is rooted.
android version 2.2.1 Froyo
And the as of my brother's phone, no additional apps as mentioned above.
Android version 2.1 eclair
** Noticed that my camera is better than his and has slightly a different camera interface**
I heard that it's cooler to have a rooted android phone and I hope you can enlighten me with my curiosities.
1. My phone has a 3 day replacement warranty and 1 year Motorola service warranty, should I return the device since it's rooted? Or Should I keep it to save me of the hassle since I would like to root anyway in the future.
2. Prior to question 1, do I lose/void the Motorola warranty since it's already rooted the day I purchased it?
3. I know it’s possible to unroot my device, my concern is that the ITFUNZ and R.Explorer applications are in Chinese. How am I able to understand and access.. “just” in case I need access to these files
The seller told me that the models they’re selling are open to all network or factory unlocked which are processed already by their suppliers.
That’s true since my bro’s phone is opened to all network. Maybe mine was just special because it was already rooted.
Here are the details of my MOTO-DEFY (Setting>Applications>about)
**I hope some one can give me information on each item so I can get a head start working with my phone**
System Version
Version.34.0.117.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Model Number
MB525
Android version
2.2.1
Baseband version
EPU93_U_00.56.00
Kernel Version

Well that’s it for now. I’m just reading and reading more threads to feed my knowledge. (sometime reading to much information confuses already your understanding)
Thanks for reading my post and it will be highly appreciated for you masters out there to give a helping hand on how to maximize and enjoy our Moto-Defy.

How do I get a GT-N5110 back to stock USA rom?

I can't seem to find the right rom. I find all these pages but USA isn't one of the roms on the list, what do I choose?
I sold my note on eBay and received it back after a "not as described" case and it looks like somebody attempted to put a different rom on it and failed. It just boots to the logo (Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 GT-5110)
I would just like to get it back to what I originally had it as (whatever the latest OTA update was as of last month).
I appreciate it guys.

[Q] Installing ROM

DEVICE HTC one X
Android version 4.1.1
HTC Sense 4+
Hello XDA World,
Wonder if someone can help me. Recently I tried to install a custom ROM of KitKat on to my android device. It got stuck in a bootloop and did not work. with restoring my backup somehow got curruptted or I made a mistake along the way and got a new handset.
The problem I got is this, with my new handset its running the software noted above. However, when I had my old handset it was running 4.2.2 and sense 5. If I do a check software updates its says my phone is up to date. If i go to HTC dev site they say 4.1.1 is the latest I can have, but other networks have 4.2.2.
If I install one assigned to another network, would affect my phone and network connection?
On a side note is there any other recomment custom ROM's to get a newer version of Android that would work on a HTC oneX.
Many Thanks for any help possible

did you do what it says to do...?
another option is to root and install recovery and install a custom 5.0 rom but they aren't 100% stable yet, however they will get better and better as time goes on.
another option to increase performance is rooting and install a custom recovery then install a thermal throttle mod.
P.S. when you buy a random phone from a random person online you don't exactly get a guarantee that the person in question didn't damage it in some way. If you are getting lag before the phone even heats up that's not a good sign seeing as it runs at 2.5ghz until it hits the first thermal throttle interval (60c) i think. Always beware when buying open box devices online from unauthorized retailers or without warranty. If someone bought the device and is already reselling it, odds are they did something to it and you probably don't want it.

[Q] GPE not running stock?

Hi, i traded a lady an iphone 4s for an htc one m8 today. she told me it was an at&t one. upon further inspection, i noticed it did not have the at&t tramp stamp on the back, so i located the model number on the bottom and it appears to be a google play edition. The only problem is that it is not running stock android. it says it is running android 5.0.1 and sense 6.0. i have factory reset it, but it still doesnt look like stock. I was wondering if there is a way to get it back to stock and also how this might have happened. i looked in the bootloader and it says official software, locked, s-on.

Your device is not a GPE device but a stock HTC Sense running Android 5.0.1 and Sense 6.0
