[ROM] 2.73.771.73 update.zip (rooted/unrooted) + Generic Rooted 12-01-2010

Here are the update.zip's for the H3G network.
Here is the unrooted version stock straight from the RUU
http://www.mediafire.com/?l4yo1mttmnx
MD5 = 75A41E9BCFF3AB1324681F7CAEA14A8F
And then the rooted version, this also contains Cyanogens APN list from a MoDaCo Rom so it will work on all networks.

MD5 = CA5AF82B57BBC9927FD5FECFB8A5C134
Another built and tested this is a generic rom rooted, with APN list from MoDaCo 3.2 Thanks. This is NOT official all I have done is stripped out the 3 customisations and added generic files from 405.66.

ENSURE YOU DO A NANDROID BACKUP SO YOU CAN 'ROLL BACK' IF REQUIRED!
Also this wipes your data partition so you will lose all applications and settings.

With the german language, or only english?
Thanks

Only English, have a 'generic' type like the 405 roms being tested tomorrow. I will post when done and happy with it.

What´s the difference between this and MoDaCo 3.1 ?

Dan.. Well done. Goodluck.

Seriously? Quite a lot!
This ROM is just straight from HTC, bog stock standard but rooted and with new access points. There are no other tweaks or apps like the dozens in MCR3.1.
Read the changelog/featurelist of MCR, everything written in there has been changed from a stock ROM just like this one.

Has this rom got all the network logo`s etc on? or have you managed to get rid of them all?.

Its stock as it comes, straight from HTC. So it includes all logos, links etc.
Generic version coming shortly.

To All potential users, I just flashed to try and found that all vital elements like, wifi,gps,mobile network are operational. Basically everything in a cupcake as expected. It is also speedy. Only needs A2SD.

in the first version wifi wasn't working correctly, at least not for those who tried. maybe it would have worked for 3 users.

as it is a stock, i guess it is android 1.5 isn't it?

Same here with generic rom. Downloaded again and it works.

Hey :-D
Currently I have the rooted 66-Version running (thanks to you lol) and it had some great improvements in speed and stability. Does the new ROM have some "visible" and "noticable" improvements?
BB.

as it is a stock, i guess it is android 1.5 isn't it?

Yeah it´s 1.5.
BB.

First post edited, added MD5 checksums so people can check them after downloading.
There shouldnt be anyone getting verification failed, means part of the file or signature is missing.
Dan

Does someone see an Improvement in this ROM?
BB.

Official firm with no blur

Look at the last one here--->and-developers.com/sbf:defy
It is an official motorola firmware with no blur. It is for central europe, but i suppose it will work fine in any european device.
Now i´m gonna try it in my spanish vodafone defy.
EDITED: WORKING PERFECT ALREADY

GREAT NEWS
It works perfect in my spanish vodafone defy. No problems with the network, 3g or language (running in perfect spanish)

Cant wait to flash it, is it still the moto launcher on it?

sadly, the moto launcher is still here, in fact i think this is not a true deblured firmware, but a much lighter one.

Read this - this isnt the vanilla android you were expecting!
Guys I have flashed this and compared to the previous firmware in the system app / framework department, and basically the only differences are the Blur social networking services have been removed and in there place there is a facebook (albeit an old version) and myspace, ohg a kindle ebook reader.)
The apps removed are:
FriendFeed
megamaid
newswidget
socialmessaging
socialshare
statuswidget
I seriously wouldnt bother flashing it - I have restored my back up.

this is probably true, i was trying to figure out what the differences are between this central europe "deblured" firm and the UK firm, and as far as i know there are also a useless greek keyboard, some icons changed, and the android logo at booting instead of the blur one.

I think there could possibly be a difference in the blurcontacts apk as the current one intergrates some social networking

Back to 2.21.0. Motorola Overcloking fails in the try to load the module. No problem with permissions.

i had this error in the 2.21 and it was due to root permissions
overclock works the same in 2.34.1
to force milestone overclock app to ask for root permissions, i tapped the apply button before tapping the load module one and setting the processor speed.

follow this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674

just flashed it:
root -> OK
overclock -> OK
motoblur -> disabled
I still see my motoblur account and cant delete it.
Also I see some motoblur process, but it is not working!!
I log on to motoblur and see still the old version on overview.
It is also not possible to locate my phone any more.
Do I need to wipe my data to get the useless motoblur account deleted?

Which languages are included in this rom?

And finally Goggles does not longer crash my Defy.. It sort of is a bit hit and miss whether it does much of anything but at least it does not longer crash

Any chance to get this ROM together with a JIT maybe?

I already said (not sure in which thread coz there about 3 or 4 on .the same topic). if someone provides me a dump of system/app + system/framework from this rom I will deodex and create an update.zip to apply JIT. I don't use this ROM so I'm not going to install it to get these files, but if someone gets the dump I will be more than happy to create a package for you all.

By dumping you mean a backup made using tenfars recovery I presume. I would have to install that first ?

Custom ROMs

When rooting and flashing custom roms, is there any roms which makes your phone work just the same way as it did before? I mean, does all the roms have support for camera(pictures and filming movies), sync (facebook, twitter, email), and so on?
Will I be able to use my phone as I did with the stock rom I guess the question is.
Getting more and more tempted...

yes of course, especially if you want to use back HTC sense, then flash the sense-based rom.
Android Revolution HD is recommended by me

The first answer I have... is you want exactly the same phone you have... keep your rom
Normally in most of the build thread the dev list what is working and what is not.
So read the first post you'll know.
Take also into account (and do it anyway) that you better backup your staff before testing any build. CWM give you the ability to backup everything. That's great for testing new builds.
General advice: never trust an electronic device!!!! Backup is the rule. One day or another you will loose your data (wrong manipulation, memory corruption...).

I've read more about it now and found a genius guide in sweedish (I'm norwegian so that's pretty close, haha) and now I'm quite sure I will have to give RHD a go.
But what about the phone's language? All over I mean, in the menus and everything. Will I get a english phone after flashing custom ROM's, or can I just change the language settings ... ?

Most (if not all) roms based on WWE stock roms have european languages. (At least swedish and norwegian)
peace!

The rom you were thinking of trying definitely has norwegian. Tried it a few days ago with swedish.

Great I can't sit on my hands anymore... *jumps into it* Wish me luck! I hope everything goes the way it's supposed to. I've used Visionary and Titanium Backup to freeze some apps, but that is as far as I've gone... But seems like that wasn't quite enough, if I can get more benefits out of the great phone, I want them
Will the facebook/gmail sync work with RHD? It doesnt say anything about it in the thread. What about the themes for the ROM? They wont override any language-settings or what?

Done! Now I will have to seriously clean up my SD card, as I did double backups of everything, including the stock rom, nandroid backup(?), app, system/settings backup in titanium backup. And I have to check if I will have to install a new radio.
I did. *installs new radio*

Defy user wanting Defy+ stock ROM

Hi there, forgive me if this is out there somewhere in the forums, i've had a look and i'm getting a bit lost
With the new of the Defy+ came out i guess there is no official 2.3 update for the Defy ?
But as time goes on , has someone got an official or original defy+ stock rom that i can flash on my regular defy ?
I don't really like custom roms with others personalisations i'd like what a defy+ owner gets out of the box, but withut having a defy+ he he!
Many thanks

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285007

4.5.1-134walter from the link above, i installed this yesterday to my Defy (old) and am very impressed battery much better and feels a lot more stable no crashes yet as with my old sock 2.2.2 was crashing at least 3 times a day.
djc

+1 from me too! i had ms2ginger on mine and it was too buggy + battery died quickly. just put the defy+ one on as above and it seems much better so far! just need to get on my wlan at home to fully sync my facebook contacts etc to see how well that works.
only thing I have found so far that isnt quite as good is the panorama mode, on ms2ginger the panorama has a display at the bottom so you know how far to turn, this one doesnt it just makes a ping noise and takes the picture. can make the panorama a bit blury as you dont know when to stop turning! hopefully the app can be ripped out of the newer wrong and ported back.

Thanks Everyone! I think i'm going to give this a try now!

Roll back
Hi folks!
After flash with this rom, I will be able to roll back to 2.2.1 - 3.4.2?

Yes take a nandroid backup of your current 2.2.1 and keep safe then install the 2.3.4 nandroid and fixed sbf, dont install full sbf or will have trouble going back.
You can always go back to your backup if you dont install full sbf

Yep! I did, but I doesn't have any 3G/HSDPA connection , all carrier access points confs are empty, I will have to do by hand or have another way?

Try baseband switcher and choose your region/country in it. I had similar issue after flashing this rom but could fix it.

[request]Searching a HowTo for Skinning Swype

Hi,
Today my Defy arrived
Now I have read many threads about the phone and the firmware, but soneones making me confused and other ones doesnt answer my questtions.
So, what I want to know is:
1. Wich is the really latest firmware for the Defy with the red lense? Done
2. when Im going to install CM7, must be flashed an stock froyo rom before? Done
3. because swype is preinstalled in the firmware, how can i update it to the latest version? Done
4. how can i make my own swype theme?
I think thats all (for now )
Greetings

I'll only answer to the ones that I know the answer...
2. The instructions say that you should. Also, from what I read, every tutorial says that you should go to stock. Also, a wipe could be advisable (not to inherit problems and bad settings from the previous ROM)
3. You can get it from the official site. As far as I've noticed CM7 doesn't come with Swype.
Hopefully someone else answers the other two questions.
Have a nice day!

And I'll take the opportunity to ask a few somewhat related noobie questions:
"the Defy with the red lens"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've seen a few mentions of different lens colours. What is this? (link to explanation is fine) ETA: Found it myself. Really stupid to ask. Bottom line ATM seems to be that for phones recently manufactured the lens colour is not a reliable indicator of camera module used.

Doesn't this mean that you don't need to do anything special (maybe wipe everything, but maybe not that important?) when you flash a new ROM into the phone for the first time?
Or would you still need to first flash a plain stock ROM if your phone came with some telco-provided crappy stuff in the ROM, before flashing a custom ROM?
(Purely hypothetical question for me.)

Bumping this, because I am getting to closer to actually start rooting around (hah!) in the innards of my phone, and I keep wondering about this:

So do I need to flash _another_ stock ROM before I switch to cyanogen or whatever, if my phone is a virgin that came with the stock nordic rom (moto_version.34.177.5.MB525.retail.en.ND/jorem_U3_3.4.2_177-5)?
It somehow seems redundant to me to flash another stock to my phone when I already have a stock froyo (without blur even) on it.
BTW, given the focus of this forum you are all being very very kind to us noobs. Upthread I asked a really really really stupid question (I'll see if I can edit out), and nobody threw rocks at me .
I am still wondering though whether anyone can recommend an alternative forum more suited to Really Basic Questions?

Just root, install second init for recovery, then flash cyanogen...
If you click devices at their website, you can grab the latest nightly ROM, and you will also find the wiki, which has a step by step on how to do everything.
It's really simple, just keep glued too the instructions.
Good luck

It is recommended as a precaution for a failsafe install but you can install CM7 on any stock 2.2 or above rom.

I was wondering why I was subscribed to a thread about swype-skinning, as it couldn't be further from my interests, but never mind that - there's good info in this thread not related to swype.

You big thread hooligan, Mr gentleman
Edit:
To answer your question,
You should probably check with Swype to see if skinning is even capable with their app... (or potentially even allowed)
To my knowledge, skinning Swype is uncharted territory...the app is in beta still.
Some advanced knowledge of Android would be required to hack, disassemble, and recompile any themes for it.
