Please be advised that this thread will now be dedicated to just the most recent updates that become available, as they become available. Links to older OTA's and official roms can be found here. Before posting regarding an update not working, please make sure that the update being listed is the proper one for your phone. If an update is listed for a model, it applies to ONLY that model. If you attempt to try it anyways, you will generally get a signature verification error with no error code. If you don't know what model variant you have, please check this thread to identify it
These updates are for STOCK phones. If you have replaced the modem,kernel or updated *any* of the google apps with unofficial versions, the updates will fail. When posting a failure please include the ENTIRE message, as the message will identify what is no longer stock.
ClockWorkMod and Root access will be lost due to these updates and will not cause any issues with updating the phone. Be prepared to reflash CWM and re-root your phone once done.
Most recent versions available:
I9020A -> 2.3.6 (GRK39F)
D720 (NS4G) -> 2.3.7 (GWK74)
I9020T/I9023 -> 2.3.6 (GRK39F)
M200 -> 2.3.4 (GRJ22)
Model: Nexus i9020a
GRK39C (2.3.6) - > GRK39F (2.3.6) Released
Full ROM: GRK39F (2.3.6) Released
http://v18.lscache6.c.android.clien...8148de0d.signed-sojua-ota-189904.0b9c8148.zip
Model: Nexus i9020t/i9023
GRJ22 (2.3.4) - > GRK39F (2.3.6) Released
Full ROM update -> GRK39F (2.3.6) Released
How to apply the update:
I will cover stock only, as those running Clockworkmod should already know how to apply an update zip.
Copy the update file appropriate for your model/build/modem to your Internal storage of your phone. Do not place in any sub-directory.
Turn off your phone.
While holding the volume up, press the power to turn on the phone
use the up/down volume to select recovery
press power to make the selection.
Your phone will now reboot into recovery.
When you see the little droid, while holding the power, press the volume up to bring up a menu.
Select "Apply update from /sdcard"
scroll down to the update file you downloaded it, make sure it's highlighted then press power to select
The update should go through

My understanding of the announcement is that older versions are also getting the update. What i suspect is that there will be separate files for each upgrade path. Meaning the update needed for 2.3.2 -> 2.3.4 will be different then 2.3.3 -> 2.3.4. The file versions we are seeing supports this.
As we find these updates, I'll get them posted in the primary post.
I'm assuming we have to re-flash the recovery with the stock one in order to get this update OTA?
thanks...flashed the update...now with 2.3.4
just hoping the bugs are fixed!
Require the download for i9023: GRI54, KB3, someone must have it!
I'm starting to get the impression that Google hasn't released the update for some models yet.

I am on Version 2.3.1, baseband I9020XXJK8, Build GRH78, and am rooted but no roms or anything applied. I havent even seen my build mentioned in the threads regarding the 2.3.4 update, do I need to do anything different?
How do I root my Defy+? Also are the Defy+ roms compatible with the original defy roms?

I have successfully rooted my defy + using doomlord's rooting tool.

My defy is a telstra branded unit running 2.3.6
I wouldn't bother with other roms just yet, mostly because of any telstra specific tweaks that you might lose, like nextG... Almost no other counties are using it, so any modded ROM based on a foreign ROM won't work without further tweaking. So bone up on how to get things working again should they break.
Once you've got the defy+ rooted you can remove the God awful telstraone app...it's pure poop. Just setup URL shortcuts to the services it tried to supply.
I'm on hols ATM and will try to cut out as much of blur as possible once i'm home.
Sent from my rooted defy+ 2.3.6 ;-)
i used SuperOneClick v2.3.1.0 and it worked whitout a problem
My response was more aimed at OP, and gauged by his avatar.
Telstra branded phones with 2.3.4, or once updated to 2.3.6, won't root with oneclick. Not the batch I experienced anyway.
NextG is a low freq variant of 3G chosen by telstra to cope with Australia's vast open spaces; hence they employ a custom production ROM. So what works in one country, on one carrier, won't necessarily work everywhere or any where else.

It's easy. Use SuperOneClick and as the name suggests it's just one click! The lastest version works on just about any android phone, including Defy+. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
To install Cyanogenmod, there is a simple guide in a FAQ posted in the forum by one of the Dev's - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
The way to install MIUI is basicly the same idea, except when it says to flash "update-cm-7.1.0-11-Defy-signed.zip"you flash the MIUI zip file instead.
SuperOneClick doesn't work with the defy+

DooMLoRD and the latest version of SuperOneClick both use the same exploit (called zergrush). This appears to have been fixed in the latest versions of 2.3.6 shipping on the Defy+, hence no root for the moment.

Sorry, not at the present time. Just have to wait until someone finds another loophole that can be exploited, I guess. Might be worth keeping an eye on the main SuperOneClick thread for news - the dev does say on his blog that he's planning to focus on Motorola phones next. In the mean time I am looking forward (not much) to life with a non-rooted phone, depending on how mine comes back from UK repair agent (having managed to brick it by attempting to flash incompatible SBFs in the hope that one would then be rootable).
How are you supposed to make any kind of useful backups without ClockWorkMod and Titanium Backup?
Apparently SuperOneClick v2.3.3, releaed a few hours ago, has added a new exploit to root on "Motorola." Might be worth having another try with the latest version!

Can some expert please confirm with me? Please and Thank you =)
Assuming you have an i9020T or i9023, that is spot on. This thread will give you all the OTA links straight from google for i9020T and i9023 for your purpose.
Grab the 2.3.4 -> 2.3.6 and flash it
then the 2.3.6 -> 4.0.3 and flash it
then enjoy ICS goodness.
If you have anything other than the i9023 or i9020T, do NOT do this.
The 4.0.3 OTA is not stable and is not recommended. Please hold on and wait new OTA.
Anyway other customized ROM is recommended.

It has been beautifully stable for me, but there are some issues with battery life. That seems to be mirrored across the forums.

You can still upgrade further, but downgrading generally requires unlocking the bootloader.
For best results I would wipe all user data, ie apps, settings, game saves, etc, prior to installing.
Hi there,
After installing CM 7.1 i wanted to go back to my stock firmware
so i flashed the SBF : DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTDE004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTDACH_P019_A022_M002_Service1FF.sbf
with RDLite.
After this i wanted to ROOT my defy with Super1click.. it always worked...
until now
I bought my DEFY+ in the Netherlands unlocked..
It seemes the SBF isn't the same as I bought. To unlock i need to Swipe
that wasn't on the original one...
So what SBF do i need then ?
Or am I ****ed after flashing my Defy ?
Is that some of the latest 2.3.6 sbf's? They aren't rootable as of yet :-/
You aren't fu*ked But, maybe you are stuck If it is one of the latest 2.3.6, then it's version 7 signed, too. That means you can't flash anything older now. I think I have seen some version 7 signed Froyo, but not sure if it was tested... I do use the version 6 Froyo, though, on my DEFY+...
So, rooting isnt possible too ?
Rooting is not possibly yet..

DoomLord v4 doesn't work vor CG7.
But about the Version 7 Froyo, should that be rootable just because its 2.2?
Can anybody confirm that?
Unfortunately there isn't any working tool atm and latest Froyo isn't on BL7 but BL6 so we're stuck with stock firmware. I hope not too long.

You flashed the same ROM.
I got error messages all the time, think its the motorola message service or so.

Hey.
I want to root my Defy+, mainly to remove some bloatware apps and install root-required apps.
I've been trying SuperOneClick, gets stuck in #7, even after trying the solutions the developer suggested on a topic in this very forum.
Also tried OneClickRoot, the app said my phone is root-able but failed.
How can I successfully root my Defy+? I've been constanty banging my head against the wall trying to do so.
Thanks in advance.
Ron. :good:
First, tell me your Defy+ build number.
Settings> about phone> Build number
What matters is the number set "DFP-xxx".
Super one click or any other software won't work for rooting defy+
There are 4-5 threads for rooting defy+ which works perfectly....

One last thing, I dont want to flash a new version of android on my phone, I want to keep my Android version 2.3.6. Where can I downloaded a rooted rom for this version?
Those rooted roms I provide are also DFP-231, android 2.3.6 the same as your current stock rom. So no worries.
But it's baseband may differ from your region, read about and use Basebandswitcher to fix it after root.

Now my phone is all in English. I want to make it appear in Hebrew, or at least have Hebrew in typing languages. How can I add Hebrew? I dont have it in the exisiting languages list.
Nah instead of finding stock roms that contains Hebrew, I suggest using a custom rom that (likely) have one.

About keyboard, try looking for one with your language in Play Store.
