Hi guys
I flashed the brazil vito rom, and know ive got stuck.
Is there at moment a way to downgrade this version?
Or is there a other rom i may could flash with my 2.3.6 vito.
Couse ratail is not woking. By the way someone know why?
Im sorry about may bad english...
"Couse ratail is not woking. "
This is so much general - please specify your problem in more details - are you getting any error message or how the phone behave?
"Is there at moment a way to downgrade this version?"
Take a look at here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497263
"Or is there a other rom i may could flash with my 2.3.6 vito."
Yes. All custom ROMs, that works with GB - tezet's CM9, Endless7's CM7, Argen2Stone, MS2Ginger... in fact all roms, except MIUI and stock froyo (but you can downgrade now and use these too)
Actually, it's not possible yet, the Vivo ROM (I'm guessing Vito was a typo) can't be rooted and, right now, it's not possible to install any custom ROMs or downgrade.
Can't he just flash SBF of another GB ROM, which is rootable? (UK/Brazilian/China etc.)

No, the Vivo ROM has v4 BL, and the other GB official ROMs have v3 BL. I'm not sure why it doesn't work, but nobody in the forum reported success in rooting / downgrading (or even changing to another official GB) from Vivo and Personal ROMs.
Okay thanks for the fast answers i thought, too that this is because of the new rom.
So the ratail 2.3.6 has no v4bl, too so i cant flash the sbf, too?
So its normal, that i cant flash any other sbf? Or are their other roms with v4bl?
And do you think there will be found a way to root/downgrade this version, or is it impossible?

Yes, the 2.3.6 has v3 BL, unfortunately you're stuck in the Vivo rom for now. If you try to apply a different SBF, your phone won't boot, and you'll have to reaply Vivo rom to use the phone. For now, you can't change ROMs either.
All we have now is hope that it'll be possible to root and downgrade this version, I'm sure a solution will appear sometime, we just have to wait.
Are there any news? Do someone know?
Someone know where i can find some informatian?
Unfortunately, there's nothing new yet... All we need is hope.
Are there any news about this issues?

Add this in build.prop
ro.build.version.full=Blur_Version.34.177.3.MB525. Retail.en.GB
I added this line at build.prop using an root explorer, reboot the cell and didn't work out. motoblur still dont connect.
Hello everyone,
I am a new member here and I know asking questions is annoying when there're someone who ave already asked it before, so I have searched , looking around at different areas, I have gain some knowage about SBF and Roms and so on, and now I have faced a problems :
As far as I know there are Roms and Root software for version 2.3.6 , but they are for DHT - 22/23 , I have spend two days but still couldn't found any post that's directly saying about how to Root the version of my Defy+ :
2.3.6_DFHKT_U_4.5.2-109_DHT-25 version,
So I am asking here if there are one have already posted a way to Root this version, or it just can not be rooted
Have you tried using SuperOneClickRoot? I don't really know ALL the DEFY+ ROMs, but all that can be rooted - can be rooted with SuperOneClickRoot. If it fails, then I guess you'll have to wait a while for the developers to get there :-/

Yea, I know there's SuperOnsClickRoot that can be use,
but I have read the post and the users said that it seems didnt work on the newer version of the Defy+ ( that's my DHT-25) ,
but also I find that's Rom of DHT-25 version ,
and I think I should Root my defy+, so I can Flash my Defy+ , right ?
Those DHT-25 version Roms are all for the older version to upgrade to DHT-25, but not for Rooting DHT-25 itself, so I am a bit confuse ,arrrr,
But I will try to test it tomorrow, let you know if it will works or not ! Thx anyway
: (
I have tried both the UnLock Root & SuperOneClick v.2.3.3 , but still, they are Fail to root my Defy+ , I have searched a lot in XDA and it seems no one hae talkabout Rooting the newer version SBF of DEFY + ( 4.5.2-109_DHT-25 ) , any suggestions : ( ?
There is no way to root the latest Android 2.3.6 sbfs, yet.

So finally a clear answer for me , and I can see there's a "yet" at the end . .. is there's some clues that in a short period it could happen ?
Any update?
Ok,
Now pardon my lack of experience, I rooted another phone a long time ago and it was painless. Things have changed...
I got a brand new Defy+ from a reputable online retailer today and I was aiming to have it all done and installed with CM9 by tomorrow. Good luck with that says Murphy's law. I have this particular version of 2.3.6 that is apparently unrootable by the easy methods.
Details:
System Verion: 45.1.25.ME525+.Retail.en.05
Model: ME525+
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.60.02
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-g6977577
Build Number: 4.5.2-109_DHT-25
Scoured the net, scoured xda devs, I can find mentions, but nothing about how to get around this. Every mention is about if you have an unlocked bootloader already etc. I'm not at that point yet.
DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit v4 doesn't work, neither does SuperOneClickv2.3.3 (or 2.3.1 as I read and tried).
I'm at this point where I want to play with flashing SBFs, except I know if I get it wrong (from what I read), I'll have a bit of an issue (BL numbers and such).
So....an appeal to the other Defy+ tinkerers out there, anything you can suggest? Or, which SBF can I flash that will let me get to a version where I can root and move to some other wonderful new ROM?
Thanks,
Overflow255
Ok,
So, I said stuff it, got the 5.7 version of RSDLite and tried to downgrade to the DHT-22-23 SBF from the sbf.droid-developers defy+ repository.
That was not sucessful - all I got were black screens, but I can confirm that you can still flash again.
So I'm going to basically try a number of other ROMs until one works. I'll keep everyone posted, since I seem to be a bit of a trailblazer with this one.
Awesome.
Follow these lads: "DFP-188, DFP-231, DFP-2311 BL7 Finally Rooted" (I still can't post links...)
Basically, you flash one particular rom, wipe, then flash a rooted version of the same rom.
So I now have a rooted CEE rom. Time to bust out!
Hi! Im new here but only in number of posts. Ive been reading this forum for some time now.
My problem is that my defy goes only in stock bootloader (i think i did something wrong with recovery after i flash ics rom). My CWM does not work. I tried RSD Lite but 2.1 rom does not work (bootloop). Maybe i should use 2.2 rom (i have flashed froyo kernel).
I feel like noob now...
Pls answare if someone knows what to do...
I must mencioned that ics worked but than i've installed CWM (i thought that it is uninstalled) and reboot, than the phone bricked...
Instal the froyo sbf for your location. If you only have official eclair (some countries in Latin America I think) just flash that if you have never flashed an froyo sbf. That way you can keep warranty. Afterward wipe(factory reset) in the stock recovery.
That is what i did... by the mistake i downloaded wrong spf... my phone got crazy... than i downloadaded good spf but i didnt wipe factory... still phone was crazy but than i read yours post and i realized how stupid i was... all now is really good! thank you!!!!!!
It might have been asked before but I couldn't find the solution. I am in need of a guide to install Argen2Stone 3.0 onto my milestone 2 currently running on the froyo kernel. I don't want to flash any sbf that is not downgradable because I really like the MIUI which (to my understanding) is only working for froyo kernels.
I know that the Chinese GB can be downgradable? But I'm not sure which one to get. The link on http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 says "DE/AT/CH" under country, and not specifically Chinese, so I am wondering if this is the downgradable sbf to flash. Then if it is, multiupload isn't working... So I need a mirror if anyone have one :s.
Then after I flashed the sbf file, all I have to do is to restore the nandroid? Anything else I need to be aware of to prevent myself getting stuck with stock GB?
Thanks in advance.

As long as you don't apply the Vivo (Brazil) and Personal (Argentina) you're good to go. With 2.3.4 UK and 2.3.6 Retail Brazil (and several others) you'll be able to downgrade with the tutorial that's in the Android Development section (look at the topic and see how it works, it's on the first page), even though they don't use the Chinese Kernel.
Yeah but the link to multiupload is still not working. I also would prefer if I could just flash the CH rom and if I don't like it, flash back the froyo.
This is the download link of uk 2.3.4 stock rom from china
The md5 is not the same as the original ,so measure whether it is suit for you
115.com/file/dn8kptoc#
Add http yourself. If you dun know chinese ,the image I uploaded may help you.
I have uploaded a image that is "about phone" after i flash this sbf
I too am looking for a solution to this. I hate the multi-touch bug present in the UK kernels and wish that ROM devs would use CH instead. AFAIK only Endless's CM7 uses CH kernel as standard.
I´ve recently installed CM9 in my Milestone 2, but the general bugs made me change my mind. But, after trying every possible rom with 2.3.6 firmwares, I haven´t succeded in any of them. The only one working here is the Personal SBF, here from xda > http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2. After every installation, my phone gets stucked in black screens without recovery. RSD Lite can read it, though, so I can always install Personal SBF, root with these instructions - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750277 - and go back to ICS from there. But it´s very weird.
Bottom line: Milestone 2 accepts Persona SBF LATAM with 2.3.6 and CM9. But will not downgrade to any other 2.3.6 rom nor can accept any MIUI version. It gets stuck in black screens without loading.
Sorry for my poor english. I´m not used to write in this language, but this seems the right place to ask for help.

2.3.6 firmwares are not downgradeable, so you can't go back to froyo if that's what you're trying, you should be able to successfully flash any of the 2.3.6 R01 firmwares such as personal or retail latam...

Thanks for the quick response, but I´m not trying to go back to froyo. I´m in ICS and want to go back to GB. Seems simple, but it´s not working here...

Same thing happened to me. You will have to install stock GB rom by flashing it with RSDLite.

Tried stock (retail) from Brazil with no success. Weird. Was with Vivo sbf installed, no root. Than I´ve managed to root and install ICS. Now I´m trying to go back to some other rom with 2.3.6, but no one is working. Nor retail, nor tim, nor vivo, nor custom. Only ICS CM9 and Personal 2.3.6.
Am I missing something? I´ve followed the right procedures to upgrade, and follow the right instructions when trying other roms. But I´m almost giving up and leaving ICS installed. At least I´ll have no Blur or bloatware in my phone.

That is probably your problem. Using the Persona and Vivo rom. Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497263
It says it's not possible to downgrade if you have those ROM installed. I was using UK GB ROM so I was able to downgrade to CM7/CM9.

2.3.6 personal is R01 which is newer than 2.3.6 brazil retail, you can't downgrade R01 or R02 firmwares, I mean you can't go back from 2.3.6 personal to 2.3.6 Retail Brazil, you can only flash R01 or R02 firmwares on your phone (Personal, Claro, Movistar, Retail Latam)
Try Retail Latam which is rootable and the less bloated of the R01 firmwares:
Retail Latin American M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_R01_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBRETLAB125LA003.0R_STABLE45LAMILETRETLA_P005_A028_M001_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz
Worked ^^
I wonder if I´ll be able to install CM7 from this rom.

There's a GB Kernel based CM7 from Endless7, but it's not as good as tezet's CM7 which is froyo based
