ah thx, too much to explore

i wish to upgrade to froyo if its recommended? does solely follow the guide in 1st page helps? or its not dat easy?

great advices guys, so im thinking of getting some apps, mandatory ones like those app killers & ______ (recommend pls)

oh wait i dun hav a mem card yet, can install app in phone?

hey guys, how do i turn off the data usage completely? ive turn 3g to 2g but gprs seems running all the time...

guys, before i flash to froyo (step by step eclair to froyo of 1st page), what should i be looking at beforehand?

system version: Moto_Version.2.51.0.MB525.Retail.en.SEA18

Firmware Version: 2.1-update1

as in step 6 of the 'Step-by-step from Eclair to Froyo' guide: Navigate to backup/restore. Do a Backup for your current stock rom (navigate using volume up/down and press Power Button to enter)

where would it save the backup file?

errr.. noob question: how to activate usb debug? -done-

4. Extract the file Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 and place the folder in sdcard/goapkrev/backup ( if you cannot find the folder, create one) does this mean i extract the froyo uk folder into subfolder(backup) of goapkrev folder inside sdcard?

5. Click Recovery boot and it should enter clockwork mod recovery.

where to click this recovery boot?

wth is nandroid?

ok i dont see clockwork recovery instead it was system recovery, so i went in n thr was recovery boot as told in the guide. tapped it, phone rebooted n out of nowhere i get a new app called superuser, which it was suppose to enter clockwork mod. at this point im out of the track oredi. shud i continue or sumthing wet wrong?

also noticed dat the backup froyo i had extract to the goapkrev/backup is gone >.< (edit: i can see it in the phone but not in my pc)

i dont get it, recovery boot is suppose to get me into clockwork mod recovery? my case is it reboots the fon, tried again n its the same. any tips?

edit: argh... did not install system recovery, thats y >< ok got it.

step 8. Restore Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 <-- got it.

step 10. Plug in you Defy to computer and open RSD Lite. Open the file TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree and flash with it. ---> failed flashing process (0X7100)!

edit: googled for solutions, rename the sbf does help but now im stuck at bootscreen pfftt.. wat a luck.... need a hand here pls

ok. i followed the 'eclair to froyo guide' was puzzled by some of the steps but managed to go through, untill the step that required me to flash using RSDlite, it failed saying somthing like failed flashing (0x7100), so i googled for the solution n found dat renaming the sbf was helpful (renamed to r.sbf)

so flashing went well untill 'pls manually power up the fon' which i did n i was in the bootscreen of moto logo since then till now ><

should i reflash it or how?

yes still stuck.

is it safe to reflash in this kinda situation?

guys or sifus, i need some help.

i flashed my defy into TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree.sbf as per the step by step eclair to froyo guide at 1st page.

all went well except flashing process failed (0x7100) in RSDlite, saw in a forum that renaming the sbf helps, i tried it did help.... but the outcome was my defy is now stuck at boot screen forever.

how to bring back my defy? how to restore to my stock rom?

everything is downloaded from the guide, i duno how 'latest' they are.

so now im able to go in bootloader, not sure how much battery left(it was fully charge before flash), would u rercommend to reflash/restore? if so, how?

i bet u mean RSD lite 4.9?

some clarification here, after i flashed back to 2.51/2.59 SEA sbf, i can flash it to liquidarc/blurginger, at the same time can downgrade it back to 2.51 rite?

dont know y, the sbf in http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy seems down, cant download the SEA version, instead i got the uk version. is it ok to flash to uk version?

say after i flashed to this uk version, can i flash it again to custom froyo roms? without losing the downgradability?

hmm i did flashed to uk version n was quiet happy since it was my 1st successful flash after the awful experience last nite

nvm abt the SEA anyway cus i jus wanna be like u guys keep flashing to better roms.

so now im in UK 2.51, i wanna flash to a custom froyo, do i need to repeat the Step-by-step from Eclair to Froyo of 1st page again? or i can just dl the custom froyo rom, go into bootloader n flash with RSD?
