I am new to Android so this might be a noob question but i really want to know how to flash my phone back to original from liberated rom. i grow impatient of waiting for official 2.2 to release so i want to flash the liberated rom but how do i make a backup of my stock rom so i can restore the phone back to its original when it comes to make a warranty claim or when htc has the official froyo release for aria?
thank you

Here is the link to download the original Aria ROM. Click on the "More" link to see the instructions to follow to flash the RUU.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/aria-att/downloads/
thanx for the reply.
1)if my aria is SEA version not under AT&T, is there a difference?
and
2) i've read somewhere from the forum that HTC Sync wont run on CM6, if i flash cm6 instead of liberated, can i still use HTC Sync to recover it back to original?
3) by flashing this rom, my phone will be like original out of the box? which allow me to claim for warranty? ( rooted or flashed will void warranty)
Thanks Again

OK sorry, this ROM file is for the AT&T branded Aria. I do not know where you would find the SEA version of the ROM.
It is true the HTC Sync cannot interact with CM 6.1 ROM at the application level to sync contacts and such, but you can still use HTC Sync to flash these HTC original RUU ROM files.
Hopefully someone else may be able to point you to the SEA original RUU ROM file.
I don't know what "SEA" is but this may be of some help to you and PM'ing the OP or posting in the thread someone may be able to help you...unless of course one of the RUUs from the first post is what you are looking for:

Hi guys!
I have a question.
Is the "fix sbf" file related to the kenerl version?
If I use offical froyo(UK 2.2.2) and flash MS2ginger 2.0 (2.3.4)(by using nandroid backup) and flash the fixed sbf, is that mean I flash the chinese 2.3.4 based rom and lost the advantages of UK rom?(such as comfortable touching experience or fast speed)
could anyone help me?
thanks a lot and sorry for my english
And where to find finnish stock rom? I need to send my defy to the maintenance and i need to flash back to original android 2.1 and i need to have this flashing done the way that the maintenance guy cant tell the phone is rooted.... So i need some help with that.
Any tips & tricks are welcome.
sorry my bad english.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Defy
Hi All
I am newbie here. Having a Motorola Defy ( Bayer module ). Want to update the Froyo 2.2.2 to GB. I read lots of articles on this site & watched videos. Found a video on youtube flashing defy with MS2Ginger. Link is as below :
youtube.com/watch?v=veF5u-BOTJo&feature=related
( Please add www as this doesn't allow me to add )
Just wondering if someone could tell me if this is safe method to flash my mobile ( in case if something goes wrong or I don't like the ROM, I could go back to my Froyo ). In the video person has used fixed sbf . Please suggest, can I use this method to flash ?
Secondly, which ROM will be better : CM 7.1.0 or MS2ginger ?
( In India , lots of call drops n data problems kind of things I have read on this site ) But I want a fast and hassle free ROM. Please suggest if any other good ROM is there , particularly suitable to Indian conditions.
Sorry for my poor English . But please support.
Thanks
Tarun
For upgrading using sbf, follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Check the version you want to upgrade. I have defy+, with 2.3.4. I flashed mine to 2.3.6 in 15 minutes.
Download the motorola driver ,RSD Lite, and the stock sbf which your model supports.
Shutdown defy. Press Vol Up + Power, connect usb. run rsd lite to install the sbf. It simply flashes the phone to the new version.
Or you can use recovery (Vol Down + Power ) then Press Volume up. Here you can flash using recovery any CM7 based roms.
Which ROM is good enough
Thanks ksrgroup, but any suggestion for ROM, like almost every ROM has some problem. I was planning to choose one CM 7.1.0 & MS2ginger ? .. Any idea..
Also, flashing full sbf I guess my downgradability will be lost.
Can someone clear this concept under what circumstances my downgradability is lost ?
Pls help
Pls help
Did anybody check the youtube link i gave ? Can someone tell me if its the method which keeps the downgradability ?
Please support..
Also, suggest a good ROM too..!!
Hi,
Your current rom is froyo 2.2.2 version. If you want save your downgradability DON'T FLASH a FULL GB SBF. You can flash all the CM7 (froyo original kernel) and MS2ginger (Nandroid + fixed SBF) roms without problem and all the NANDROID of GB version made by walter79. But don't forgot to made a nandroid backup of your rom before and try to find the full sbf of your current rom if you need to go back stock (warranty).
About the rom CM7 vs MS2ginger :
This roms are very different so try them to make your own opinion. My favorite is CM7 (more closed to AOSP rom) but it's really a personal choice and these 2 roms are pretty good.

Call drops with MS2Ginger : Pls help
Hi all
Finally after reading lots of details I updated my Defy with MS2ginger 2.1 ( GB 2.3.4) .. .. But I am facing 2 probs :
1) Call drops : many times my fone gets disconnected . I tried ITfunz baseband switcher, but couldn't find the one for India. Then in this case which should be used. Secondly what is the method to find currently which band I am using.
2) There is an app " Accu weather " . I don't want to use this app. it eats a lot of RAM . Any method to uninstall it from my Defy.
Please help frenz..!! ...
To check the band you use : Settings / Wireless and networks / Mobile networks.
For save/recover/delete apps : Titanium backup on the Market
but how to stop call drops ..???

You don't need a specific baseband for India, use anything that says 900/2100MHz because that is the frequency that mobile service is provided here. (900/2100MHz in Hong Kong = 900/2100MHz in India or anywhere else in the world)

If you mean system app, you can remove it using Titanium Backup. Or just freeze it if you have TiBkup Pro...
Or if you want, you can delete it from /system/app using some root explorer like ES File Explorer with root permissions

Tarun, I tried almost all the available ROMS for defy, and i would suggest cm7 or ms2g. If you have titanium backup pro, then you can freeze otherwise take backup and uninstall. For speed improvements you can overclock and remove the moto bloat ware. If you have root explorer you can simply edit system/bootmenu/config/overclock.cnf file otherwise boot into boot-menu, then cpu-settings and change the clock and vsel values to your likings and save (dont forget) and reboot.
You can use LG camera for video bit rate changing, i use 720p with 13-20mbit/sec rate and quality is very good.
The battery consumption in standby is vry low for ms2g till all the roms i used. during night where in unused timings for every 3+ hours 1% consume which is too good. For CM7 based roms it was 35-40min whic too bad for me. wait for a day/two till your battery stabilizes.

upgrade to gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369296
after upgrade to gingerbread...rooting etc
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420728
I would recommend that after rooting and installing a custom recovery (ClockworkMod) you should make a full nandroid(complete OS + data) backup and keep it safe on your pc or sd card before you do anything else.
once you have are rooted have a custom recovery.. and a nandroid backup you are ready!..
remember.. when flashing ROMS.. check the baseband..which means.. if you are on gingerbread ROM.. official or otherwise.. you can flash any gingerbread ROM.. if you want to flash a ROM based on ICS.. you should get on ICS baseband.. for that you need to upgrade to official ICS.. then you can flash whatever ICS ROM you want..
as for flashing instructions... the ROM builder will have included that.. so read it.
Hope i helped!
Thank u
I'll do exactly what u said wish me luck to not broke my device
