It's there a way to remove manually ClockWorkMod (2nd-init) from stock rom?
Besides, erase bootmenu folder, what more i have to do?
if you want to stay on stok Rom, reset the mobile data
of course you can back up apps first
Well, my intention it's a little more complicated... I want to create a custom sbf following instructions from Vaserbanix thread in order to have a 2.2.2 sbf from my original system. In some pages, i get an original sbf from my carrier but it's a 2.2.1 version... My phone came with a 2.2.2 version, so i made a nandroid backup, then i extracted system but i realized that my system it's already rooted and with bootmenu included. So, i want to make it more "stock"
Solved. Please, moderator...close this thread....

I just install ginger bread leak is there any way to restore back to factory setting I did try the PD15IMG but it say that one was old so it did not flash please help thank you very much for your time and sorry for my english
Did you make nandroid backup? If not then there are few things you can do to recover. As I am not sure which rom you had I am guessing stock tmo rom just rooted? In that case you can go to dev section and download nandroid or stock flashable zip which you can install via CWMR.
Now I am not sure how you installed the GB Leak rom as we do have flashable but I am guessing you used the PD15IMG.zip leaked that contained the radio/rom? I don't know why people even do these things. All you had to do was do a complete system wipe (/data; /system) and flash the GB Leak though CWMR. Now you have a new bootloader?
I solved the problem with downgrade that I was search in here thank you verymuch
Hello,
I've an Huawei u8800 and i think I will install an unofficial ROM. Now I have the last (Beta?) Huawei GB ROM and i will try the dzo ICS ROM..
I've never done it before. Could someone help with a step by step solution (I don't want to loose contacts or messages and other apps data. I have titanium backup but last time I've upgrade the official ROM I had problems restoring system data)
I am worried about IMEI and WiFi Mac address loss reported problems too ..
Thanks!

Check "Root, Install ClockworkMod + Remove Bundled Apps from Official 2.3.5 by That-guy" link in my signature. It has guide to install clockworkmod, which you will use to install roms.
The only way (I think) is to backup those infos with titanium. I do not recommend it, because it might cause force closes in ICS if you restore them. After making backups and putting ICS zip to sdcard, reboot to recovery. You do this by booting phone while holding volume +.
Choose backup & restore and backup in there. Then do factory reset and then go advanced -> wipe dalvik
After it choose: install zip from sdcard and choose zip from sdcard from there.
Now navigate to ICS .zip file and choose it. Now choose reboot to system. It should start loading ICS now.
Just one question: i'm with elite .32. Do i need to downgrade to froyo before the instalation of the official beta update?

This is a bit like topic hijack. You dont have to. It is recommended by huawei to do so, but im dont think it matters. If you have time and official 2.2 files somewhere, just do install it. It wont hurt.

It doesn't create a backup of imei. I have a link to full phone backup in my signature too. it requires a linux pc and unlocked bootloader. You can check is your unlocked by booting to pinkscreen and plugging the phone to pc. If pc can use phones memory, bootloader is unlocked. If it's not, there is a link (again) in my signature. Its called "[TUT] Get back our PINK screen!"

i saw a thread where with a command it's possible to recover the imei
dunno if it works though
i've already installed CWM.. i am gaining courage to proceed to next step (rom install)
thanks for your help!
I am currently on a stock Android 2.1-update1 TMobile US ROM on my Defy (green lens) ROM. I would like to try out CyanogenMod 7.1 (or 7.2 RC) and need help confirming my understanding of the process. I am already rooted and have installed the GoAPK recovery.
1. I need to flash my kernel to froyo to 2.2. In order to be able to downgrade back to 2.1 I need to use a "fixed" sbf. If I run the smgver.exe utility on the sbf file and it says "no version found" than this is a safe sbf to flash (can still downgrade).
2. Before I flash this new kernel I need to (should) do a full nandroid backup of my current rom so I can restore it if things go wrong. I might need to install SuperOneClickFor2.x to do the backup and future recoveries.
3. Once I flash one of these "fixed" sbf I can then do the "update.zip" process to flash CM7 onto my defy. I will need to do a factory reset and wipe the data/cache partitions. This will cause me to lose my contacts/calendar/etc AND my installed applications (and their data, so I need to back them up using something like TitaniumBackup).
4. Once I've got CM7 (with froyo kernel) I can flash one of the CM9 builds for the defy green lens that is built specifically for the froyo kernel
I've searched and read as much as I can, I feel like I "got it" but I just wanted a little confirmation before I start hacking this phone apart =)
Thanks for any help you can give me =)
Here is the explanation from all that I know:
1. I need to flash my kernel to froyo to 2.2. In order to be able to downgrade back to 2.1 I need to use a "fixed" sbf. If I run the smgver.exe utility on the sbf file and it says "no version found" than this is a safe sbf to flash (can still downgrade). Ya, that is true. But after flashing fixed SBF you also need Nandroid backup to be restored.(This is not your nandroid backup. Its the nandroid backup supplied with the fixed sbf)
2. Before I flash this new kernel I need to (should) do a full nandroid backup of my current rom so I can restore it if things go wrong. I might need to install SuperOneClickFor2.x to do the backup and future recoveries.
Yes Nandroid backup is always recommended. Superoneclick is a software needed to root your phone. That answers the rest.
3. Once I flash one of these "fixed" sbf I can then do the "update.zip" process to flash CM7 onto my defy. I will need to do a factory reset and wipe the data/cache partitions. This will cause me to lose my contacts/calendar/etc AND my installed applications (and their data, so I need to back them up using something like TitaniumBackup).
Yes, however its not update.zip but its <ROM NAME>.zip Your contacts,calender can be backed up in your google account and if you use gapps(google apps. Needs to be installed separately by install .zip in CM) in your CM those will come again. Your installed apps and data yes can be restored from TB. You can backup SMS using SMS backup+
4. Once I've got CM7 (with froyo kernel) I can flash one of the CM9 builds for the defy green lens that is built specifically for the froyo kernel
Yes either that or you can even directly flash CM9 for Froyo kernel.
Hope that helps...
Hello
I have Motorola Bravo, everything stock 2.2.1 ROM
but I want to install custom ROMs and I have one question: Does Motorola Bravo's bootloader need unlock? I ask that, because I also have Motorola Atrix 4G and I had to unlock it's bootloader to install Cm7

No, just install 2nd-init recovery (search the Defy Forums\CM7 threads here) then flash away . Our bootloader is locked up like a con in a SuperMax with a triple life sentence. I'm getting ready for work so I don't have time to hotlink.

Here you go: https://www.box.com/shared/p07z8hangnqxydducrhr.
Edit: on a side note, I've had issues restoring my JB nand from the cm7 recovery. I get "error restoring system" in the middle of a nand restore. It also completely screws up mounts and the only thing I can do is install a ROM from scratch. The md5 checks out as well. Any ideas?

JB has a newer recovery. Install a JB rom then restore the nand of the JB backup.
Flash JB rom (cache\data wipes don't matter since you won't be booting into the system)
Reboot directly into recovery (don't let the system boot up, even once)
Restore JB Backup as usual
This is actually a common problem with Defy users running older MS2 roms trying to flash JB -- the different recovery versions can be a pita to deal with sometimes; but its usually fixed by flashing a rom with a compatible recovery version then restoring the nand afterwards.
While I won't go into the full details, you can also take the recovery from a JB rom and a GB rom and make them into a flashable zips -- basically open the rom's zip and delete all the /system folders except /system/bootmenu and edit the rom's updater-script to only set permissions to /system/bootmenu. It would also be a good idea to add in ramdisk backup commands as well (the init.rc files under 2nd-init and 2nd-boot) since they can change from rom to rom. Once all that's done you'll be able to flash the required recovery version for the nand you intend to restore or flash the JB recovery after flashing any rom and have an up-to-date recovery with an older rom. If you use multiboot it would be a good idea to merge it into your new recovery zip as well.
/About to test a CM7 port with many tweaks -- if it boots I'll start adding in some market apps and finish it up later today . Then its off to start updating PA with a Custom Kernel . I may have to drop MS2 PA support if the MS2's Custom Kernel differences makes it incompatible with the Defy base

Yep that makes sense. Thanks for the help as always skeevy.
*edit* Same issue.
Restoring system...
Error while restoring /system!
Problem while restoring system!
Maybe I didn't reboot correctly...bad backup maybe? I've restored this backup before with no problems. : \
*edit again* I goofed. Your instructions worked fine.
Hi,
I have Defy+ running quarx's CM10 android 4.1.2.
What I want is to recover my phone as it was, with official gingerbread and no 2nd init or other software installed on it.
Is there any way to do that?
If yes I would appreciate some help with it.
Thanks!
That's quite easy, isn't it? Simply download one of the offical bilds (sbf files), copy it (i mean if needed thing you need for flash like safe wipe) on sd card, wipe everything, boot into stock recovery (well i believe dl-mode) and flash official rom.
I was thinking about doing that and thanks for confirming it. What I am not sure about is if everything else installed that does not run in android, like 2nd init and other stuff lets call them , pre os, get deleted and only the stock firmware will be left. I will do this though and we will see how it goes.
Now do any of you helpful people have an sbf for Europe without blur UI in it?
A link would be helpful if so.
Thanks again!
Sbf cannot be flashed from sdcard! It must be done thru RSDLite. 2ndinit, etc will get wiped. If stuck in a boot loop after flashing, wipe data after stock recovery

Quite simple. Wipe Data / Cache first via Stock Motorola Recovery. Flash SBF for your region. Voila! your phone is all stock again.
If you want a good De-Blur ROM try WIUI or if you still dont want the customizations move to MS2Ginger ->
