Guest add.thebad Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) firstly its almost impossible to brick the defy so its hard on the outside and quite tough on the inside too also my pacage works for uk tmobile thats what im on however it is now outdated and their are easyer methods i think you can just flash this download i should probably update the guide too flash the nandroid then straight into bootloader the flash .sbf via rds lite. any questions ill do my best to help :) Edited April 11, 2011 by add.thebad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest add.thebad Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) got the files, 3.4.3_11-Fixed.BLUR.sbf Motorola_Defy_343-11_Nandroid but really not sure what to do with them having never done it before .ive installed rsd lite haha sorry put the nandroid on ur sdcard in folders called "goapkrev" and inside that "backup" ok you need to install clock work recovery from my ultimate defy package then boot into clock work recovery choose back up>then select the nandroid wait for that to do its stuff then pull battery out then enter bootloader by holding volume up and power for 5 secs then connect phone to pc make sure you have moto drivers and rsd installed then in rsd lite choose the "3.4.3_11-Fixed.BLUR.sbf" file and click wait for that to finish and that should be it if you get a boot loop enter recovery power and volume down for 5 secs you should get a black screen then volume up and down at the same time wipe all data reboot! that should be froyo!! you can now install a custom rom ontop of that if you wish thats from memory but i think that should work any questions ill try to help Edited April 12, 2011 by add.thebad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest john32 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Hello I have been following this thread with interest - thanks for all the guidance. I found I needed to put the nandroid backup in a folder called \clockworkmod\backup for the restore option to see it. Then all went well - I am now playing with 2.2 John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scottie1973 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 i made a backup of my system,then goto restore and it only finds that backup not giving me the option of restoring either of the ones in goapkrev backup or clockworkmod backup..so im gueesing im doing something wrong still....

Guest john32 Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 and i agree it is so much smoother and Motorola are dicks for not getting their ass in gear and shipping with this!! Another vote for moto getting a digit out. 2.2 rom seems better all round - roll on the official release. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
