Motorola Malaysia no longer selling mobile phone. They appoint Brightstar to distribute Malaysia Original Motorola Phone.

Motorola Defy do have 2.2 update, it is a SEA version.

correct me if I'm wrong... Peace~  thumbup.gif

I was on Eclair 2.1 for a long time before I flashed to the official SEA Froyo 2.2..... for about 1 week. laugh.gif After that I switched to custom ROM - cynogen mod 7, beta 6. Nothing wrong with the official Froyo, just that custom ROM is.... better. tongue.gif

just wait for 1 or 2 days.
spend tat day to feel wat is MotoBlur® all about..
download required file..

1. Stock Official SEA 15 SBF ROM
2. RSD Lite 4.9
3. SuperOneCLik
4. 2nd Init 1.4
6. MIUI or CM7 RC1 ROM

thats it..
so simple to flash our Defy®. 7-10 min finish and greeted with brand new Defy®

JUST DONT FORGET TO WIPE.WIPE.AND WIPE before flashing new ROM..
u wont screw up.. seriously.

yeah.. that should works.
but as for MIUI, titanium kinda works weird when wanna restore back setting and apps..
(got report that u wil get lots of FC after restoring with titanium )
ur mileage might vary..

as for contact should be no problem..
they auto sync with Gmail.
no need to backup.

SMS backup can use SMS backup from market
same as call log backup.

both got quite good review.

lol its a panda defy doh.gif
did u all charge ur fone up to 8 hours for the 1st time??? wink.gif

If you mean you can't restore the nandroid,then this might be the problem:
Different version of CWM reads different directories,try
1)sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
2)sdcard/goapkrev/backup
I once faced the same problem with you  hmm.gif
Now official 2.2 already out,just upgrade it & leave 2.1 alone,big improvement from 2.1 to 2.2,you shouldn't miss it  biggrin.gif btw,apps2sd function on for 2.2,so it's impossible for 2.1  biggrin.gif

The custom ROMs will only work with 2.2 (I think), so better flash to 2.2 ROM first before going further. Must note that the custom ROMs are like patches or modification to a stock ROM (you can see that the custom ROM's file size is smaller than an official ROM) so you need the correct stock ROM to work it. correct me if i am wrong...  sweat.gif

oh...so i nid to follow 1st page step by step to upgrade to 2.2 loh hmm.gif
is there any risk in doing so im realy too new in these .___.(rooting, flashing)

No,you should not,cause you can just upgrade the 2.1 rom directly through motorola software update,much easier that way cause the official update already out. (I heard the SEA15 update been pulled back,anybody confirm that? still able to update to 2.2 through MSU?).I am using s'pore AP set so not affected since s'pore using SEA18 firmware.


Added on June 27, 2011, 5:18 pm
I am new too & Defy is my 1st android phone too,don't worry in rooting/flashing cause virtually Defy is impossible to be bricked completely due to the locked bootloader  icon_rolleyes.gif

hm...so i use motrola updater now tp upgrade to 2.2???
but seems like though motorola update's 2.2 is not downgradable???
argh so blur rclxub.gif
