when rooting the defy i won't have to do a factory backup to not void the warranty? i've never bothered bout this before always used dumbphones...

Honestly, i'm not sure about that. Wll wait for the sifus to reply

but seriously, no regrets rooting the phone. Now backing up my apps with Titanium Backup in preparation to flash to Froyo!

Just unroot back with z4root. One click process done When you send for warranty, make sure you are on stock rom without root though

so i root with superoneclick but i UNROOT with z4root? O.o

and btw, the link to the stock rom is the one in the first page right?

Ok maybe more than one process. Emmm actually there's few steps you need to do Yes root with superoneclick and unroot with z4root. But after you unroot, the superuser app is still there even if you do factory reset.

So here's what you need to do. Go download and install root explorer. Get into /system/app and find superuser.apk and delete it. Now use z4root to unroot the phone. Reboot and then uninstall z4root. Walla unroot clean fresh stock rom that will defy through motorola service center checkpoint

REMEMBER to do a nandroid backup on your current stock rom before you flash to froyo or so just in case. The guide in front page still not complete yet. I will do a full step by step guide for safe flashing and rooting soon. Remember to buy me a beer after this Tequila or vodka will do

stock UK rom is already in the first page. Used that to save my ass.

currently flashed back the stock rom, restored my previous nandroid backup and my phone is back to when i hadn't flashed it yet.

gonna give up for now and try again next time. Seriously don't know what went wrong

which froyo did you go for bro? whats your stock sbf again? 2.51 ke?

+1000

Is there any regretted soul who thinks his defy is so freaking bulky with its Otterbox Commuter Series casing and wanna let go that casing..

do PM me.. I want your used casing!!!

with such a strong phone... still need casing?

the paint can chip off with all the hard labour, the phone is tough not the paint job

for those who already flashed to uk 2.5.1 just to remind that it is different number than ours 2.5.1

yeah my stock sbf is 2.51.

tried restoring jboogie's nandroid and flash the 2.2 boot only flash. the phone got stuck in the M logo.

after that tried another method and flashed the 2.2.1 china stock fw first and the phone didn't even respond after that. black screen, power on, bootloader, recovery all no respond but luckily rsd lite detects it and managed to flash back to the stock UK rom and restored my nandroid backup.

any idea what i did wrong?

non blur central europe froyo sbf also already out (non-offcial)
use with care
