I flashed the 2.3.6 TIM Brasil im my device, and they told me in a blog that i could not change to any custom rom anymore, so i thinked it would be a good idea to ask before trying... To install this rom(ms2ginger) i can use only the droid2bootstrap to recover the zip file or i need to follow the downgrade tutorial before?
(Sorry for my poor english...)
Edit:i flashed the ms2 ginger without using the tezet downgrade sbf and it worked!But camera preview is not working!It takes photos but i cannot see the preview... i must reflash the rom again and flash the downgraded sbf?

(i did not have understanted the downgrade tutorial, so if it is needed to use it can anybody explain it to me please?)
(Sorry for my poor english...)
Edit: Since i flashed a full 2.3.6 rom does this mean that i will not have 720p recording in the ms2ginger?

Actually, as long as you don't update to Vivo 2.3.6 or the Personal 2.3.6 (argentinian carrier), you can go back to Froyo and install any custom rom you want, there's a tutorial in the Android Development section. Sorry I can't help you with ms2ginger, I haven't used it yet.
And why do you say that you'll not have 720p recording? I'm pretty sure it works.
720p is only working on official roms and argen2stone and ms2ginger coz this 2 roms are based on official roms, debloated and deblurred,

I already have seem the downgrade tutorial but i wanted to know if i need to downgrade before flashing ms2ginger since it is based on the stock roms but i will try to flash it and see what happens.
PS:i had asked about the camera because in his post walter79 said: "* via greenbreadmod 2.0 and if you never flashed a Android 2.3.6 full sbf" and I got a litlle confused... so thank you by the answer .

Which ROM is on your phone now? Have you flashed custom ROM's before? If you answer no, then, I suggest, do some reading on this portal to gain some knowledge first before playing with your phone.
I think the phone have already on a modified a ROM.
I have flashed a custom rom on my old htc Blackstone (Windows Mobile 6.5). But i think that flash an Andriod Rom is different, and also the phone is different.
1. hv u installed blackrose? (a custom bootloader) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270589
2. hv u repartitioned ur hboot to 220/16/200m (check the thread for exact values)
3. hv u partitioned ur sd for ext4?
these are the compulsory requirements of the ics roms.
generally flashing in android is very easy n straight forward. but these are lil difficult n tricky.
i would suggest u to do more reading

Apologies if its been answered but couldn't find one. Also it might be silly but still I need to ask.
I've got a Defy+
Version: 4.5.1 -134 DFP-231 which I need to root.
After looking through the forums, I ended up here.
My questions is regarding the files mentioned in the thread we need to flash.
Are those full sbf's? (Do I need to worry about the CG versions?)
And after rooting, In case I need to unroot, will I be able to flash my stock ROM back??
Worry about what? "Upgrading" to BL8? Don't worry, can't get any worse than BL7
yeah.. It can't get worse..
I'll go for it..

These "original full sbf.gz files" should work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22491092

I will do in some days. *afraid*
neo.ank, could you tell me what did you do step by step to root your defy, please? Here is so many manual that I'm confused. I have the same version DFP 231 like you have.
Thanks
I've already done it.
I have a question regarding defy+ on 231. If i root it using the new root methods for BL7, will I be able to install a dual boot system, i.e. retaining my stock rom AND adding cm9 (either quarx or epsilon)?
If I can't do the dual boot install, will only cm9 install?
Hi guys,
I am quite new on this mobile phone upgrades. I made same read in the forum about the upgrade process rooting & flashing but I still not sure of the next step after rooting.
Can anyone advice me about what is the best SBF to flash the phone? Where can I find it?
Any thing extra I need to take in consideration?
Cheers
You should not flash full .sbf instead the same as your stock rom or lastest official version via rsd lite !!!!!!!!!
Install 2nd init and use CWM recovery to flash a new rom an all the other stuff
Ms2Ginger is fine ICS is fine

Do I need to unlock bootloader before I root? Or I can root, install CWM the straight JB rom from Froyo?
