Here's the All-in-one guide for Defy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982 Read though this and have search the QA thread for questions you may have. Chances are they were already answered by someone and would save you the effort of starting a new thread each time.
My advice - try to go through the posts by user having problems while rooting or flashing a ROM, that way you'll learn what NOT to do... once you understand the process and have enough confidence, you can go ahead and flash JB.

I tagged this thread as "Q", cos ive been sniffing through XDA-forums and I have got a lot of questions. I hope someone can help me.
First of all, Im new to Android, in the Developing side, and also the Flashing side. I would like to learn more about it, but flashing now is my priority.
So related to flash:
I have got a Samsung Galaxy 3, and I cant understand the ROM naming pattern. For example:

LATEST FIRMWARE:
I5800XXJPD for I5800 EUROPE (February 2011) - CLICK HERE - Android 2.2 FROYO (pass = samfirmware.com)
LATEST FIRMWARE:
I5800XXJPM for I5800 EUROPE (February 2011) - CLICK HERE - Android 2.2 FROYO (pass = samfirmware.com)

What do this mean, most important, how do I may know if its compatible, whith my phone, im from Spain, so I guess I need a Spanished-language ROM.
What about Custom ROMS?
I saw this one: [ROM] Kyrillos' ROM v4.1 Ultimate Edition, a very cool ROM, but I dont even know if the OS will be on Spanish.
I read something about Country codes or something like that, but I couldn't find the "sintax".
Another important question about flashing, how can I avoid a brick? Maybe some kind of Bootloader with nand copy? Maybe I'm ****ed if I fail? :/
Another one:
Do I also need a extra firmware?, maybe a combination of both?, I'm used to flash PSPs and so, I remember that I should had the official firmware...
Final notes:
As u guys can se nowadays I'm a total noob when flashing and so, thats why I would appreciate a lot any sort of help.
Maybe my question were answered before, but I couldn't find em, even with the search bar, if so, please show me some link about it
I hope I'd opened this thread at the correct sub-forum...
I love the forum desing, its seems a serious forum, well organized and clean, I hope could stay in here for a long time
Thx a lot for reading.
P.D: Sorry for my poor English and so, I'll accept any corrections ^^'
-> Okay I placed it wrong.... -_-" the idea was to place it here: Android Software and Hacking General, or maybe here: Galaxy 3 General admin!!! help T_T
I don't wanna repost, please Admin move it T_T

Edit:
I've flashed succesfully my Galaxy 3, into Froyo, thx to slumpolo,and some other memebers of this forum ^^
From now on I'll be on forum, for developent matters, thx 4 all ^^
Hello guys,
sorry for probably not having searched long enough, but there is just a mass of threads to dig through...
A friend of mine has the Motorola Atrix and I want to help him upgrade it to the latest rom version, plus root the device... so I was wondering what method to use and which rom etc?
Myself I own a Samsung Galaxy i9000, so I know how many different roms exist for each device lol.. but no clue about the atrix (yet).
My friend is visually impaired and in order to change the display dpi we need to have the phone rooted.
Hope you can point me in the right direction so I don't have to spend too much time researching about this atrix.

For custom rom, try GingerMod 2.3.6 #7, best ROM i ever used, runs so smooth and better battery life...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400023
Thanks man!
That gingermod rom looks nice, unfortunatly it doesn't seem to support german. (forgot to say that my friend doesnt understand english so well and thought roms would usually always support german lol)
So are there any good with german language anyone can recommend? Preferably with Motoblur, or does motoblur get f*cked up by dpi changes?
Hi, first of all sorry for creating an entire thread for this but really I had to.
The thing is one of my friend owns this device and he has it running on Froyo, and he wanna upgrade it to Gingerbread. Now I am quite sure that's it's possible but I never read topics here, so can't be sure.
So I am requesting Defy mates who already pushed theirs to GB from Froyo to please mention the process/guidance for me, I need it my tomorrow.
Even if it's just as simple as an Odin flash also then please mention it. You know as it's not my device thus I've to be more than 100% sure.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hello guys,
sorry to bother you with this, maybe a little bit noobish question, but I´m trying to solve, which ROM shouldn´t brick my brand new phone and I´m a little bit confused, because even here and on Modaco there is not a specific thread for this phone model. On modaco there is one called San Francisco II or Crescent, but I´m really not sure whether to use that ROMs or not, bcs there is P736 model mentioned.
So I´ve decided to ask you guys here on XDA to make those things clear for me, the only thing I don´t want to experiment with custom ROMs is that I´m aware of bricking my phone installing wrong one.
My Phone is ZTE Blade II (known like this in my country), P735TB01, build GB_EUR_P735TV1.0.0B01. The phone is rooted, Clockworkmod installed, the main rooted rom is backed up.
I´d like also to ask you to provide some links to ROMs and advices which roms are best.
Thanks a lot, guys,
regards, John
edit: Admin please lock this thread, I guess I´m asking in wrong thread, moving my question to correct non Blade forum (I guess I should cuz it´s Blade II...)
