or to install a rooted custom rom, use one of amphoras' tpts, you could try his tpt helper app from the market, you want a gen2 image.bin tpt & a rom to install. you're actually on gen3 now if you installed stock 2.3.5, so you need to get back to gen2 to install most custom roms, you do that with a tpt, it'll wipe your phone, get you back to gen2 & install clockworkmod.
So i need to do a GEN 3 to GEN 2?
And is mine GEN 2 STOCK?
@wbaw
Do u think Gingerbreak will work?
Solved problem. did make a GEN 3 tpt. and it was pre installed with CWM. without any ROM.
SO i installed cyanogenmod. but it had no signal. re flashed again no signal so i did flash 2.3.5.bin and now i got the stock rom.
Wrong post. Very sorry.

Hello.
I've rooted my phone a while back and currently have Recovery 3.0.2.4. Everytime I try to install a new ROM, i go into a boot-loop and I have to reload my Froyo based ROM.
I've just read that Gingerbread came out on the MT4G and I was wondering if its worth un-rooting my phone (if thats possible), to get this update. I'm not making much use of ROMs because I always get bootloops. This is probably due to the fact that I never have a version that works on both Froyo and Gingerbread based ROMs as I don't know where to find one.
If you guys were in my situation, what would you do?

The newest 3.x.x.x Recovery image will handle both 2.2 and 2.3 ROMs. Are you verifying the MD5SUM of the download prior to flashing them?
I don't know exactly how to do that. I don't see Md5 sums on ROM manager, where I'm attempting to download the C7 Mod.
Hi
im new to android ..
i own a ideos u8150.........and i have rooted it with z4 root
I also have managed to install clock world mod 3.0.2.4 i flashed it through pc (works perfectly)
now i want to change my stock rom ..i' heard ideos HD and droniX are good roms
i'd like to install droniX 0.6 raw ginger ..
but can anyone help me in flashing the rom i need a guide..
also how can i make full backups so i can revert to my stock rom anytime i want..
Does switching to custom roms affect baseband of my mobile ..
because of a picture i saw in a blog that says "baseband version :unknown" in mobile settings .
i have been a apple user and to jailbreak you need to preserve your basebands so is there anything like that in android
i have also read that after flashing dorinX .6 many see a black screen ..how can i prevent that..
i've also installed rom mangaer free version from market but its useless because everytime press any option it tells me to install colckworld mod and when i press install a list of phones comes up but u8150 is not in the list only 7 options.......
Thankyou
You won't get much love here as this is in the wrong forum, but here is a link to my rom:

You dont need to use my rom, it just has flashing instructions in the first post.
*Good luck with ginger, it is still not stable, so maybe stick with 0.5.4.
*Baseband is not changed by flashing roms in CWM, only by official huawei update software, find a copy of yours before flashing if you can.
*CWM has the option to make a NAND backup under backup and restore.
*Dronix is good, Leandroidmod is ok, Ideos HD seems to be deprecated as I had bugs which I reported and have not been fixed so I switched roms. Has not had an update in months.
Here is the wiki page for u8150, have fun:

Hey
I just got a brand new Defy and I'm hoping I can get ICS on it. However, in my country there's no T-Mobile, Verizon, Orange or whatever, I bought it in an electronics store, so I have absolutely no idea about what CG version it is. I've already read the beginner's guide from top to bottom, but I still have some doubts:
1. How do I know which CG version do I have? (I need to know so I can know how to get back to stock in case of warranty)
Nevermind, I found the answer >_> CG 4 SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo)
2. I've seen lots of ROMs for this device, but their instructions aren't very clear and I don't want to brick my device (which, from what I've read it is very hard to do) or get stuck in a higher CG version.
3. The beginner's guide is cool, but I haven't seen any tutorials on installing a specific rom (in my case ICS) so, I'd appreciate some pointers here, if possible
Thanks in advance! =)

I have a defy+, so i have 2.3.6 on it. But you don't need to flash any new firmware to get ICS or MIUI, since they both have froyo builds. CG version only changes when you flash full SBF, not when installing zips and custom ROMs. So you shouldn't worry about getting stuck on a higher CG.
So what you need of course is a rooted phone , the SndInitDefy_2.0.apk (to install custom recovery and bootmenu because of locked bootloader), install the latest bootmenu (don't mind installing the old one although it might work on froyo). And there you're ready to flash! (to enter custom recovery on your defy, reboot your phone and press the volume down key when you see the blue led) I assume you know how to use the custom recovery, so I won't go into detail on that.
Since I haven't flashed any froyo ICS builds before, I don't dare to tell you how to myself! So just head over to the main CM9 ICS thread You'll find a guide in the first post. Nevermind, i'll just quote it here:

How to flash ICS (Defy Builds)
1:Head Over To Stable recovery
2:Wipe Data
3:Install Zip from SD Card
4:Select ICS(Defy) .zip
5:Flash
6:Flash CM7 Kernel
7:Clear Cache and Dalvik Cache
First Boot will take some time...

You need to flash Google Apps seperately through recovery. You should find the files and links needed in the thread linked above. Know the difference between the Defy+ builds (with gingerbread [gb] kernel), and the Defy builds with froyo kernel.
Please note that ICS for defy is still in it's early stages and you might experience bugs. But most people still think it's worth it! xD Sorry if I made it too detailed for you, but then others can make use of it too! Oh, I hope I haven't said wrong that will soft brick your phone! Flashing the wrong kernel always gives me bootloader error! Anyway bricking really isn't that scary (only the first time i can confirm) It's good to have an SBF with RSDLite and Drivers installed on your PC just in case
Oh! And then If you want MIUI, just do the normal wipes and flash the ROM. Let me recommend MIUI Pikachu edition by TweetyPeety, the best MIUI ROM out there! It even has the touch based AROMA installer in recovery where you can customize the installation!
I was wandering if there is any advantage in flashing a newer kernel (either CM9 kernel or a GB full SBF) on defy if I'm using CM7/CM9/MIUI
Also, I tried CM9 without flashing the kernel, and it works, so I can't figure what difference would that step make. How does changing the default kernel affect the use of custom roms? Any hit in performance/usability? Would I have to use Defy+ roms if I flash CM9 kernel?

I think you shouldn't flash new kernel for CM9 since it is in alpha
it is better to keep on CM7.1 and wait until a stable version from CM9 (unless you are a real HW or SW developer)
Hello to everybody.
I'm not new on this forum, and I have already managed several ROMs in different phones, and I currently use on my Defy SOC/green lens an excellent official MIUI 2.4.20.
But I still have some question about eFuse, Full and Fixed SBF, Kernels and CWM on the well done All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide:
1. Is there a way to check the eFuse number of a phone? I don't mean the CG Version of an SBF file. I mean the exact eFuse number of my phone. Immagine to have an used phone in your hand. It could be downgraded by nandroid and have a root and CWM deinstalled. If I find a Froyo, or a Eclair, it still could be CG Version 6 or 7 right? Infact I have already tested a downgrade of my Defy, that was full sfb froyo, to Eclair, and after a double boot restore it works perfecly on Eclair even if I have previously flashed a Full Froyo sbf.
2. Does CWM full backups include kernels? I have read on the All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide that CWM backups don't touch the eFuse number. So why don't we upgrade and downgrade always using this method? Why have I to create a fixed sfb? Perhaps CWM backups don't include the kernel? So for that we need to flash a fixed sbf? To flash a kernel?
3. downgrading, exept full sbf method, is always possible as soon as the current source system is rootable and CWM? Let's imagine that I have NOT warrenties needs. Can I freely switch from any GB, froyo, Eclair just useing Nandroid backups? Or Nandroid + fixed sbf?
So for example shoud teorically be possible to flash over a Defy Plus GB CG Version 7 a old Eclair so far I do not use a full sbf? (don't mine SOC module incopatibility. Is just a question about downgrading).
Thank you in advance for your kind reply.

Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35464658
skeevy420 posted a port of a CM 7.2 ROM. It's the best IMO. Ask anyone here, cm 7.2 is the best running ROM for the bravo.
Current ROM: CM7.2 Euroskank Cherry Picks | Bravo port

I think I read somewhere how to backup the stock ROM but I haven't researched how to do that.
What I would do instead would be to:
1. Root your phone with SuperOneClick http://shortfuse.org or an alternative.
2. Download Titanium backup from the market
3. Backup up apps and data using that
IMO, once you install a ROM, you won't want to go back to stock, but if you ever want the stock firmware, you can easily flash the .sbf file to the bravo, which will restore your phone to its factory new state (then repeat steps 1 & 2, and on step 3 you'll restore the apps and data).
To backup the stock rom, root it and install Defy 2nd-init. Then boot into recovery and make a nandroid.
As fas as the sbf being the "stock rom", not all Bravos come with the ATT SBF software on them. A good example was that user who installed CM7 and lost the 900\1800 baseband since its not available in the baseband switcher.
Read the Guide Its for the Defy, but a lot of the information is the same for us. Just ignore the parts about the Defy SBFs and CG Values.
