The rooting process for this phone is damn complicated. The only guide for 2.51 is written by someone with broken english and i cannot under4stand what he means at all. Any tips?

i rooted with superoneclick something. literally just one click!

Okay, fine, maybe more than just 1. LOL

he might be using broken english, but believe me, the reason u couldnt understand the instruction is not because of the english he used..



do u know what is RSD used for? and what is .sbf?


- install rsd lite in your pc
- switch off your defy.
- boot into flashing mode (vol up + power on)
- release the button after few second, and connect your usb and u will see some white text on your defy
- open rsd lite, browse to the boot only.sbf, and click start.
- wait until your defy reboot.

The Jargons are killing me. My last android phone was a one lick root type.

Thanks for your help kind sir. Will try it now.

EDIT: The latest version of RSD Lite is 4.5.3 right?

yeap thats the one i used. Enjoying 1ghz OC and undervoltaged proc now

and a few other apps which requires root

Those of you that use superoneclick to root just open it with admin right or need to on and off usb debugging? I will try to update it in front page soon along with full guide for flashing to froyo with best stable and smoothness setting

Do any of you guys have autoload Cardock problem?? Its kinda annoying..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933710

DefyFroyoSense v0.1 (froyo 2.2.1 based)

interesting .. anyone try yet??

I'm Officially a Defy user now!

Got my phone Saturday, didnt really get to play around with it yet but really a steep learning curve Need 2 get used to all the things first b4 I start playing around with other things inc rooting + flashing

Starting to get used the swype My next target is play with the launchers and Froyo~

is there any method to unroot for now? say if root with superoneclick

just flash back to any .sbf file

remember motorola's bootloader is locked..

alright. jz worry if my phone is bricked or need to take back to motorola for service, can i flash it to UK 2.51 without void the warranty?

Welcome to all new users. Our community is growing fast

No... Your next target is to use your defy as fish bait when you go fishing

But the sbf file for 2.51 firmware that available in and-developers is GB version not SEA.
Is that really matter to service centre if the phone does not show SEA version?

crap....maxis centres that are located in shopping malls all out of stock for defy... wanted to get two pieces on saturday... anyone knows if theres any maxis centres (which are open on normal office hours) in selangor area which has it?

IMHO, no point getting from Maxis. Better get unlocked unit, and go register for data plan, without contract, read: Digi @ Rm68/month
