Hello, I am a noob to the android (let alone a smartphone) and I own a Defy Mini XT320 which I am trying to root. I have some technical experience (not alot) and have been doing alot of research on rooting the mini. My mini does not have fastboot so from what I understand I need to flash the ROM with new SBF. Could someone please give me step by step instructions that I can understand so I dont destroy my new phone. My carrier is straight talk in the eastern US and my phone is unlocked, OS is 2.3.6 I just want a SBF for performance, memory, and battery life that works with my carrier, yet I dont understand where to download it. I know this question has been asked before and I apologize if I upset anyone. Please let me know if I need to provide any further info. Thank you for your help!
Don't full flash any SBF

Take a look there, you need to flash a stock sbf for your phone company, what company are to using?? If your company updated the official release you can flash froyo and the go to the warranty!

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.

You can search this site or use another more basic site. Try this: www.ajudandroid.com.br/2011/11/cyanogenmod-tezet-para-milestone-2.html
If you have to do a restore of the original system, then you need Windows programs (www.appunix.com.br/howto/linux/goog...icar-osreload-de-rom-original-do-motorola-m2/) or use the sbf_flash for Linux (search google).
If you upgraded from the site of Motorola (2.3.6), you are with the new European GB Kernel. Your choices are more restrictive to put custom ROM's. Again, do a search on the site that is packed with information you need to know.
But most importantly, read, read and read all instructions and follow all the steps. You can brick your Milestone unless you know what you're doing.
Luck
Hi Expertises,
I just find this wonderful forum. But I do not know much about smartphone. I would like to upgrade my phone to Jelly Bean from the official version android 2.2.2. My phone has not been rooted. Do anyone advise me how to upgrade my defy?
I bought my defy in Hong Kong.
Thanks so much!

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.

please explain clearly i am a noob
thankyou
please also let me knwo if there is something like jailbreak and how to do it pls pls
Read the guides in my sig. All of them, including the new user one, HD2 terms one and finally the flashing the phone. There is no 'best ROM' since it's completely subjective. You can't 'jailbreak', only root (which you don't need to do on the HD2 anyway).
