Finland Froyo ROM : Can goapk defy recovery work on this?? i cant seem to boot to recovery mode.. phone hangs after display of motorola logo at starting..

i cant seem to boot to android recovery mode either..
any idea why??

firstly my build number is JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0...is this build compatible with the guide??

>> Yes...it's compatible with the 1st page guide

i have to install the RSD Lite and USB Driver Motorola first before plugging the usb driver?btw what's RSD Lite for??

>> Yes, you have to install those to the pc before plugging. RSD Lite is to flash the TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree file listed on the front page to your phone.


after installing USB Driver i have to plug in usb and reboot the phone into recovery and run the exe to install usbflash driver (something like that) right?

>> i think u need to read the guide again. your steps are a bit wrong

after the installation reboot phone in normal mode and install the rest drivers?
sorry for all the troublesome questions...but i think my main problem is the driver...

>> what driver?


To make it easy....just download these files from the front page :

1. Download USB Driver Motorola HERE
2. Download RSD Lite HERE
3. Download system recovery HERE
4. Download SuperOneclick from previous spoiler
5. Download Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 (by iaio72-xda-developers) do HERE
6. Download TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree HERE

Then Install RSD Lite and USB Driver Motorola into your pc or laptop.


Next, Extract the file Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 from ur pc and place the folder in sdcard/goapkrev/backup in your phone ( if you cannot find the folder, create one). Leave ur pc/laptop aside.

Next, root your phone using SuperOneclick (see the guide on the 1st page)

Next, copy System Recovery apk file. to your sd card and install it. Open the app and click the 1st option - Install System Recovery.


Next, Click Recovery boot and it should enter clockwork mod recovery

Next, scrol to backup/restore using ur volume button. Click Backup by using the power button to backup ur current ROM.

Next, Scroll to Wipe data/Rest and click enter.

Next, Scroll to Advance , choose wipe dalvik cache and enter. Then return to the main menu.

Next, Scroll to backup/restore again....this time choose restore. Look for the file Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 in sdcard/goapkrev/backup. Restore it.

Next, Plug in you Defy to computer and open RSD Lite. Open the file TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree and flash with it.


After the flashing is done, go to clockwork mod recovery again and wipe data and dalvik cache

Lastly, reboot for the last time and you are currently running Froyo 2.2.

New sifu in action

Aiyo...where got sifu...YOU ARE THE SIFU!!! I just try make it more simple to understand for noobs like me. Cos i do get confuse at first as i dont have any experience on this.

thanks for the help~finally get rooted and updated
but i found the guide abit confusing...mayb just me lol
when rooting using superoneclick i don't have to switch to portal mode...i just switch to memory storage mode..
the Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 u given is a zip file..have to extract in order to restore...at least for me lar...
btw after flashing there is no more haptic feedback?and the bright sensor seems buggy too...

For those that are still on stock rom sg set, can please let me know the system version, baseband version, kernel version and build number?

im on jboogie deblur honey now...
but i deleted my stock eclair and i might need it in case i wanted to claim warranty

i only remembered my build number is JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0...

this is my personal experience in claiming warranty at PJ.
the other day when my earpiece failed, i sent my phone to them. but i forgotten to unroot my phone. they took and reformatted everything to normal without any question when i wen to collect my phne back..

Yeap....moto not strict bcoz their lock bootloader...hehe

what if root and flashed to other ROM?

not too sure that one.. but shouldnt have problem..they told me can do within 30 mins..

Not to worry. All the froyo sbf now provided with downgrade ability already Now can safely use full flash to froyo with ease
