Hey friends...
My friend has recently bought a defy in India... It came with eclair...
Now he wants to upgrade to gingerbread... But he doesn't want to root... So can anyone please help me? As I'm a Samsung user, I don't know anything about Motorola devices or how to upgrade them... So I would appreciate a noob friendly guide...
Thanks...
u cannot upgrade to gingerbread w/o rooting...defy has got the official froyo, not gingerbread..
please read the pinned posts if u wish to know how to flash a custom gingerbread rom..

He can update to Froyo, but there is no official Gingerbread update from Motorola for the Defy (and there will never be one).
If he doesn't want to tinker a bit he won't get Gingerbread (there are also 2.3 ports of the Defy Plus that work quite well, but rooting is necessary to install anything like that).

You can mess around with your Defy s much as you want, root, install ROMs, flash sbfs... And you can ALWAYS go back to the stock Foyo/ Eclair firmware your Defy came with. Even if something went wrong and the phone doesn't boot anymore, just flash a stock clean Motorola firmware and everything's gone (the ROM you had before, also the root). So also if your Defy has a hardware problem and you want to send it back, just go back to stock before and you don't have to worry about the warranty.

I don't think so. if you changed the bootloader version you will be stuck on some higher kernel and can not easily go back.. (that was what happend to epsylon3 - one of the main devs of CM9 for defy) - so if you flashed official froyo - you will not be able to go back to eclair for example. (as is also pointed out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537)
A piece of advice: read a lot (here in this forums) before you flash something. It help you not getting in trouble with your phone.

There is no point in using defy with the buggy stock Eclair/Froyo ..
If u want to see the complete potential of defy Root it and Install CM7..
and yes you can go back when ever you want but make sure u take the Nandroid backup of the stock ROM that u r using and check whether the official sbf of ur region is available to download.so that u can flash it and restore the nandroid backup .. !!

Right, that was the only thing I wasn't thinking about. That is what is usually written in big red letters when there's something about these sbfs. But normally there is no need to change the bootloader version by installing the (not fixed) 2.3.4 sbf.
The only really current reliable options for the Defy imho are CM7.1, MIUI (and some versions based on it) and the Defy+ based ROMs (like MS2Ginger). With none of them you risk to be stuck somewhere - I flashed stock Froyo a dozen times without problems.
Thanks all for your replies....
I'll root and flash cm today....

I wanted the original rom on my galaxy, without upgrade, the froyo that came with it, just like it was when I bought, it is possible? I updated by kies and regretted, now I can not recover the froyo I had before, if I put some the kies no recognize, wanted the same that came on the phone.
Thanks.

Youre on Xperia Ion, rom 6.1.E.3.7 rite? If bootloader unlocked, just flashing the GI Kernel should work...
Have you tapped the sony logo during boot ?? Tap it as much as you can and see what happens...
Btw how do you flash it? Flashtool ?

Aha Bin4ry tool , i am using it for along time but it can't root this new version.
Now i am using a pre rooted rom , but i will still like to know how to root the stock one.
If the stock GI kernel dont work for you...Try the OC kernel with root...Just try it as it will give root permission or not...
Or maybe you can try deodexed stock rom rooted....If still dont work, then just wait for the dev to make new way to gain root

It's stock but from the Deodexed thread , and it's working perfectly.
did you get your pre-rooted stock rom from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055043 ?
if not would you please guide me to where you got it from ? is it working well and fast for you ?
a side question ... before you get a rooted rom did you face any problems with connecting to Wifi-networks while having middle eastern sim inserted?
thank you in advance .

Hi! I can't root or flash CWM on my Ion too. Can you post the link to the ROM you're using?
My Ace 2 is stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy Ace 2" . The Problem was started when I was flashing my ace 2 to Jellybean 4.1, I have problems with like lagging, crashing etc etc now I want to back to Gingerbread or return to stock for short but when I try to flash it. Odin says "Pass" but the phone is stuck on the splash. I can go to Download mode but I can't go to Recovery mode to clear the cache and some resetting. I live in the Philippines incase that you will link me an official gingerbread rom for the galaxy ace 2.
Did you use search option or try reading before starting new thread?
Did you follow that tutorial?:

Yes you can update it...... But you will lose root.
I need to clear some thing for you, rooting does not give you access to download apps free from Google Play. So you should remember that also. I am saying this because you said so-

Oh and please don't post links to cracked apps or wares sites. Mods are very strict about this. If you are unhappy with stock ICS, just go to the development section and check out some custom ROMs. And please be patient - JB is coming in May.

For that, you have to flash a pre rooted rom using flash tool.... If you are planning on upgrading to ICS firmware, no need of flashing pre - rooted rom.. Every ICS firmware on Xperia S can be rooted easily (1 minute work).. So update you phone using PC companion or flashtool and then root it...

Root is completely different from jailbreak...
There is no jailbreak for Android...
In Android JB means 'Jelly Bean' aka android 4.1
