I can access to the pink screen, but i don't have the image folder... can somebody help me?? i have a big problem if i cant fix it.. it reboots every 80 seconds with the unfinished root image file.. if someone can give me the original one for 2.3.5 pleeeeaaaseee send i to [email protected] i really need it, im having a hard time trying to fix it.. help..!

You need different ROMs compared to u8800, as some people discovered (rather painfully). So far, there are 4 ROM options. Stock ROM options include the stock 2.2, the stock 2.3 (no problems as with the 2.3 for the u8800), however they both suck performance wise.
Then there's a MIUI port which I couldn't even get to install on my device and finally comes cyanogenmod which is the best option so far and the one I'd recommend (you will see a tremendous difference in the performance of the UI).

[Q] I need a new Kernel

Hello everybody.
I got a milestone 2 some months ago and I had a working cyanogenmod 7 on it until I decided to try MIUI ROM. I was on a downgraded gingerbread kernel (thanks to endless7) and I tried to reflash an ITA 2.3.4 sbf. It didn't work. Then I was desperate and decided to try to flash a CH gingerbread kernel... This doesn't seem to work, even if I try to flash the chinese SBF.
Could anyone help me??? Thanks in advance!

up! still need a working gingerbread kernel to flash with RSD...thanks guys

Up! Nobody going to help? Please!

Now you know what "low activity devices" mean
Honestly, I did not understand what you did. Lemme try paraphrasing and see if I understand what your problem is.
You were on CM7. You mean Endless7 version I suppose coz that is the one with GB kernel. You decided to try MIUI. This is where I lost you. Were you able to downgrade, or you are just saying that your kernel is downgrade-able???
Second thing that I don't quite understand is what you mean that flashing with SBF does not seem to work. Did the flash process fail or the process was successful but you were not able to boot up your phone?? If it is the latter, wiping data from android recovery should help you boot up your device.

Carrier unlocking question Defy+ on CM 7.2

Hi all, first of all i want to mention that i have researched and read everything i can about Defy unlocking and still have some questions which bother me because the Defy+ comes with ginger as def OS.
I want to get a Defy+ (which is carrier locked and i don't know the exact operator it is from) that should run on a modified CM7.2 or maybe some other ROM at time as 2init. Most of the tutorials are for Defy(non +) and CM 7.1/Froyo.
The questions that bother me are:
1. Will the method for softunlocking work on Defy+
2. Will it work on any other CM BASED ROM like 7.2 official/MIUI/Pikachu/etc, and must i have a certain SBF(full)
3. Is the soft unlocking method bound to certain radio version and will it work in Europe?
Here are the links i find the most simple:

I know the tutorials are relatively clear but it means allot to get confirmation from people that have done this as i can buy the defy onlu once .
Thx in advance.

1. Yes, the method for rooting, and installing 2nd init is the same in the Defy+, the 2nd init 2.0 works fine on Defy+.
2. The only important thing when flashing a ROM is over which kernels is the ROM based, for the Defy+ you must use the GB kernel version of the ROMs, you can't use a kernel with a lower BL version than the one your SBF has.
3. Each ROM has a Baseband switcher where you can set the Radio frecuency.
Any doubt, just ask.

Ok ,thx for the info.
One more question, will the soft unlock work on ANY CM7.2(GB based) ROM? And will it work on CM9/10 later on?(If u know)

Found the info thx for the reply, everything is ready now .

hello sir me not succes in unlock my defy plus till....
plz help me wht i do for it...

[Q] Best rom for droid pro?

Hi everyone, hope you are ok
I want to change my sister's android, she has a droid pro , from Argentina 2.3.6 no root, and was coming here to watch the roms and stuff ( I'm not a noob in this, i have an lg gt540 and i have done everything with it lol)
But i'm kinda confused since it seems that roms are not for any countries...
So my question is this
what's the best cm7 rom out there? or the best aosp out there? I don't want cm9 or ics because i think it's not well developed for this phone yet, but maybe cm7 or aosp ginger is ok
please help me with that! and obviously the first step will be root, i tried z4root and universal click root with no success so any help with that too!
and if everything goes wrong, i always can turn back to default with rsd lite and the argentinian xml isn't it? thanks in advance!
pd: if anyone know if changing your android system in Argentina voids the warranty, please let me know!

I tried CM9 last night, and it was gorgeous! The only issue, my phone calls sounded like they were coming from the back of the phone, instead of through the speaker. So i decided to try dettofatto's rom....and after fiddling and fiddling for hours, finally realized how to get CDMA enabled (im on Verizon)
Its nice. Its almost stock, but its crazy fast....

Thread Closed, best rom threads are not allowed on XDA.
Thanks

[Q] Moto Defy updated to official 2.3.6 ROM and my Defy is Defy+

I'm new to this forum but have got solutions for many of my questions from here. I own a Motorola defy MB525 (SOC Camera), tried to fiddle around with it in order to install custom ROM's and eventually screwed up in the process .After my failed attempts, was able to somehow get a working Indian Motorola Froyo SBF and fix my phone, which was otherwise not booting, that was a small victory . In the meanwhile, had been to Motorola Service Center to replace my broken glass. Got that replaced, however I wondered if the service center could somehow update it with official Defy+ ROM and that's when I screwed up completely.
They updated it with official 2.3.6 Defy+ ROM and now my Camera module is dead , battery lasts hardly for 5-6 hrs on stand by :crying: , which would otherwise last for 2 days on foryo and my phone model shows MB526. I wouldn't worry about the camera right now, but I want my battery last for a day atleast
Is there a way I can go back to my original froyo ROM which I doubt would be possible
Can someone help me on this ? any patch that I could update for battery issues? anything at all !
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried flashing the original SBF with RSD Lite?
RSD Lite is an App used by Motorola to Flash Smartphones. It can revive mismatched Nandroid/Fixed SBFs, Black Screens, failed flashes etc.
Even though is really, really hard to completely brick a Defy, it is possible; a corrupted SBF, power failure on a critical part of the formatting, or some weird issues while creating partitions can lead to a Bricked Defy. If you can, always flash your Defy from a laptop so the power is not an issue, use good cables, and be sure the PC doesn’t go to sleep when is not being used.
Also, when flashing SBFs, is normally advised to put your SBF in your PC Root directory (C:/ ) or whatever it is in your PC and rename it to a short name like Defy.sbf, why? Because sometimes the Path name is just too long and RSD Lite throws errors not allowing the phone to be Flashed.

Yes, I have tried the same Froyo SBF that I tried to flash before using RSD Lite, but it didn't succeed this time. Later I tried many Defy+ ROM's aswell, nothing worked ... put a lot of effort to do all that and got fed up. Went back to the service center and they re-flashed it with their Defy+ ROM using RSD Netconnect which is something they use to flash the ROM's. May be this works a bit differently. It worked this time... now I'm stuck with this ROM, which drains my battery like anything and rendered my camera dead.
Well...thanks anywazz will try the steps suggested by the other mate...

Step 2 :- Flash any 2nd Boot Defy Custom Rom ( Quarks (cm10) / Epsys (cm 9 & cm7 ) / Kayants( cm10)
By the way I use Epsy 2nd boot for CM7**( ONLY WIFI IS NOT WORKING OTHERWISE ITS STABLE ROM )
WWW.DEFY-CM.NET

Bro, Thanks a lot I see a ray of hope again
...I was able to root my device, somehow I was unable to flash the first file mentioned on link you gave but was able to flash the second one,still I could see that the device was rooted inspite of that.
Now, please help me with detailed instructions on how to go about flashing the new ROM with some youtube Video references will also help. Also what about the battery life ? have you been able to get a decent battery life after flashing the new ROM ? and will I be able to flash ROM's meant for MB525 or should I choose only ones meant for MB526 ? If so, then will it still drain my battery bcoz it will contain a GB kernel ? Will my device ever be same again?
Also, you have mentioned that ur wifi isn't working on the ROM that you are running, is it specific to that ROM ?
Plz dnt mind, I have asked too many questions.. I'm not well versed with all this....still learning from my mistakes.

Solved !
