Guess what! Defy released yesterday in India and it seems to be the one without Motoblur. Since a central european version cannot be used in India, there seems to be another firmware that Motorola came up with.
By the weekend I should have my friend upload the Deblured rom for us to use.
Well if 2.1 is still interesting for some that is.

Yes, I will need to teach my friend to make the backup and upload it from India. BTW seems like the version is called 2.52 . Sounds scary of it being unrootable and non-downgradable.
i got defy recently in New Delhi....version says 2.51.....i thought it had motoblur...now wud check again...
can somebody confirm whether the indian defy is rootable?
i am planning to buy this phone and if it is supposed to get froyo in june, i should rather stick with my galaxy 3.

haven't come across any unrootable rom yet.
and if you do buy it, please post your nandroid backup.
ps there are already froyo roms floating around. and no one knows when would an indian version would come.
ok so i can flash sbf files even if the bootloader is 2.51?
if yes then what is the problem with 2.51 that everybody is advising not to upgrade?

the problem is always that you can't go back. unless you have a nandroid backup. any future upgrade should be fine.
Price of Defy in India ... delhi Region in retail.... anyone.... ?
it retails for INR 18000 at flipkart.com
It's without MOTOBLUR???
Had the same here in Thailand. However I didn't make a backup before I put a custom rom on it. Wish I had!
But it's definitely out there. Mine was a 2.51 rom with static moto boot logo and no motoblur widgets or popups whatsoever. Actually, yesterday I found a file called JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_DEBLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA030.0R_USAJORDANRTCEE_P031_A020_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz at 4shared but now it has been deleted. Don't know if it was real though.

Can anybody with Brazilian Claro or TIM firmware check the FOTA periodically?
There's nothing in the Motorola Software Upgrade yet, but let's see untill the weekend...
When the update is out and anyone of u upgraded, please report about the bootloader-version.
There is a nandroid backup on orkut.

yeah, i believe it's from Claro provider, but no one deserves a ROM so ****ed up like that... no Gtalk, no Gmail, no Google Search (Yahoo Search instead)...
I'm waiting for the Retail version
Really no one deserves that Claro ****, without the basics of Google. Let's wait for good news.
Wow, so this is "Q1" for Motorola. Then Q2 must be August or later. That sucks.
I'm on Tim but I'm using a custom rom. Btw I'm on Pays rom which is based on 3.4.3_11 uk tmobile rom, if I want to switch to a Brazilian rom(or any other) do I just flash it with RSD lite?
It seams the release is avalable for those that want stock 2.2 in the uk

When was this found out/announced?
Is it any different from the stock 2.2.1 SBF (UK version) found on and-developers?
If anyone gets their hands on this build please post a screenshot of the About screen.

Oh ok, my bad.
This is the same version which is on and-developers.. it was announced few months back as far as I know.
It also uses the older kernel. Newest official kernel is the Arabic/African one. You can check this out in the kernel collection thread.
Motorola started rolling out the Froyo update in stages. This might've showed up only now.
Rom in general
used this for 24 hours now battery life better than most other roms and it must be said uk version must have been polished in some way over german release or aisia.no fc's so must be great for stock foyo rom
That said missing miui so going back to that
I've also uploaded a couple of days ago this rom up on my moto.Clean install from 2.1 and works very well.
Battery life on that ROM is unacceptable.
Did update from stock UK eclair and i have to say 2.1 was far battery friendly..

Funny I got this version months ago from the Motorola UK site sitting here in Bangladesh and I updated via the update tool provided by Motorola.
The only difference I see here is that my build number is SHOLS_U2_05.26.0.

when I bought my Defy last month, It came with this version only.
So I can say, this is pretty stable, responsive and battery life is good too.

Nops I moved to CM7.1 the day It was released
1st of all, welldone eos team!! Will love to update this rom with my xoom hk version. but sadly most of the thread end up saying hong kong version should stay away...i think its maybe the partition issues stil the main problem, anyone here already test the rom with hong kong version?
Why are we being left out?
Hi all,
Been using the MZ601 3g/WiFi for a few months and still can't get to a point to root it. Last time I rooted it a lot of stuff does not work like the market and memory. I paid motorola to flash it back as they will not provide the SBF file. Also HK versions are not going to get the upgrade to ICS from motorola. Though they have put it into planning stage only which means no ICS for us. If anyone have proper information on how to root HK version 3g/WiFi MZ601 please please let us know.
TIA
Eric
I think you guys can just flash the EU version of the EOS rom...(HK version should be UMTS instead of CDMA).

Only if solarnz has added the special files to deal with the HK model's storage partition issues. I'm sure he'd help if possible.

Well there's a high possibility that the 3G xoom sold in hk is the eu version...
1. HK uses EU mobile frequencies
2. I've got my wingray in hong kong and still be able to flash the EOS rom...
So just check carefully whether or not you are having the EU xoom...
You can try flashing the EU version of the rom but I'll recommend that you'll do a backup first in recovery.
Hi aR_ChRiS,
Thanks for the reply. So how exactly can I backup my original firmware? I don't want to again pay Motorola to reflash again. I cannot find the exact procedures to backup. Please help.
TIA

install clockworkmod and, before rooting, go into the backup-menu and run a nandroid backup.
I am not sure which recovery you should use, as your partition table looks different from 'the usual'. The 'modded' CWM is modded in a way to exclude the /sdcard-folder (=/data/media) from wipes, backups, etc, so this is probably not the recovery you should go for. Also, if you change your partition table to match the european xooms, you will probably have to undo that before you can restore that backup.

Hi, Any luck for new ICS for our xoom? please do update me if you have successfully rooted and upgrade without problem.
me as well as other hk xoom owner couldnt bear to left behind....

Thanks a million bro!
Rom for hk xoom
Hi Nick,
Lucikly I didn't root as my motherboard had problems and they replaced it twice. Anyway unless I can find the sbf file for hk mz601 I dont think I can safely do it. As i don't want to pay for it to be reflashed each time. Also from reading around it is best for hk users not to root. Or at least wait for the warranty to run out. For me it is end of this year

My brother tested it on my XOOM 3G HK version and so far so good. The partition were not changed. still 32GB now I have ICS 4.04.

Greetings everyone,
Has anyone in this region (Middle East) System Version 65.1.40.XT910.MERetail.en.06 Build Number 6.5.1-167-SPD-IRD-40 recieve OTA for ICS 4.0.4? All I can find onilne is users in the US CDMA Verizon has pushed for the OTA. I've been checking none stop but it keeps saying its upto date. I got furious when my Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini recieved 4.0.4 and the mighty Razr Maxx is still kickin' on GB.
Please drop a line. Thanks.
no i have not received any upgrade option yet.
UAE RAZR
Honestly, I'd stopped waiting for the update to happen.. i've gone ahead and flashed the retail.eu 4.0.4 version and my phone has been running smoothly.. no issues whatsoever! just go ahead and do it.. u'll find the link on the main xda forum page.. its a little bit of a run-around, but you'll eventually have ICS on ur Razr :fingers-crossed:

could you make a simple step by step tutorial on how you did it ?
like which retail.eu ROM did u flash ???
It's rediculous. It's October 2012 and the once "Flagship" phone not even a year old, wont update to ICS. I'm not even gonna start on JB. When I called Motorola Kuwait (Axiom) they said the update will never come OTA or any other way to my build number (Middle East version). I refuse to buy the new Motorola Razr HD due to proper support; in that area, Motorola suffers GREATLY! Doesn't make sense to me, doesn't Google own Motorola Mobility? Why are'nt Motorola phones already running Android Vanilla?! It's really frustrating.
