New toy for all: UK 3.4.2-117 froyo for Defy is out! - Defy Android Development

Leaked in a Chinese forum (bbs.gfan.com) by enigmer
It flashes! And it is UK 3.4.2/froyo.
Haptic feedback is almost gone, that's the obvious one. No signal issues (not in 3G reception, so can't say much about that)
Use at your own risk.
update:
ok, maybe i should have mentioned the first time around:
well since its a spitting image of it's tmo cousin (if you look at the system dump), so yes it's a one way
ticket and you'll never get back where you started unless you were on tmo version
and german, english, spanish, french, italian, dutch, portuguese (all with multiple variants) are included.
no serious bugs found yet, but since i'm not actually using the phone, just playing with the files, i can't
say much about it.

Great! According to my theory: this firmware has cdt version 4, same as US 3.4.2, thus it's undowngradeable to 2.21/2.34/2.51, but swappable with US leak.
No i didn't flash it, but it seems all legit.

Hi,
Can you confirm is this a UK Froyo?
I cant seem to work out how to download the file from that site (all in chinese).
Please can you upload to mirror site.
Thanks

if you use google chrome it will be automatically suggested to translate the page in your language :====)
-> i love google ;====)
but. no useful rom information on it, just a one-click file provider ... and some ads..., a forum link would be really great or similar
edit hab ein forum gefunden: http://www.itfunz.com/thread-68851-1-1.html
added a screenshot of rom "description" seems like flash and gps don't work as expected... and not rootable yet
//Übersetzung dank Google

I'm downloading it now, but will wait for some feedback from others before I flash it. Not confident enough in my abilities to fix any problems it might cause.
It's only 168 MB. Does that seem small?

Good firmware, root ok, skip blur accaunt, no unlock vibro and press sensor key, no T-Mobile programms

Rom简介:
版本 3.4.2-117. system version version.34.0.117.MB525.Retail.en.GB
此Rom是英国零售版本,基本没有任何附加运营商的软件。本人是用的法国水货机,之前刷了国行的2.2之后,基带版本不对,移动信号基本收不到,而且捆绑了很多不需要的软件。
我这里也有相同版本的t mobile 美国和德国的rom,还有一个vodafone 360的,但是觉得还是此零售版rom比较好。
使用感觉。闪光灯没有问题,四个按键振动没有了。界面虽然没有launchpro快,但是也是很流畅。
接电话的时候有几次触屏失效,其他没什么大的bug。

Partial translation:
Version 3.4.2-117. system version version.34.0.117.MB525.Retail.en.GB
This one is the England retail version, so dosn't include carrier services.
Camera flash is ok, but the four touch buttons have no vibration. Ui is not as fast as launcherpre, but very smooth overall.
The screen failed to respond several times when answering incoming calls. No major bugs aside from that.

which states:
UK 2.2 leak version, unrootable!
3.4.2-117. system version version.34.0.117.MB525.Retail.en.GB
no problem with flash, no haptic feedback for 4 buttons, not as fast as launchpro but still smooth...
Sometimes the screen has no response.
No other big issues so far.

I would not miss the haptic feedback, but the screen being unresponsive is something I can not ignore.

I don't get into recovery with this ROM. Double click on the under right side of the screen doesn't guide me into recovery

Well,
I had to give it a shot to compare with my rom...
The rom seems to work well, they have a newer build than mine.
There is more storage space than my rom but less apps.
But then my rom has about 2 + MB more for program.

But still believe me. WM6.1 is much faster and i only tested a non cleaned version.... let´s wait for itjes release and we will have fun with a non timebomb new build and fast stable rom...
i believe he will do it.
don´t want to force you - but wm6.1 is in base faster than wm6....
WM6.1 is like a Windows XP Service Pack upgrade
It makes your device more stable and faster

yupp, just flashed the PDAVIET one hour ago, looks stable...
Nice increase of speed with this rom, something I noticed right away. Was glad to see that the trim feature was working in AudioManager...this feature seemed to be "left out" from a few ROM's i've tried recently. Also it appears that the problem with the x-button and the left soft-key has returned which makes the task manager quite useless. A quick fix I suggest would be to use the task manager from batterystatus which can be assigned to a hardware key. This allows you to close programs without pressing the screen(just press sideways on the d-pad.)
Also seems kind of wierd that there isn't a running applications tab on the memory page anymore, its been made into a seperate app.
Anyone care to explain how the managed programs application works??
Lastly is it just me or does anyone else think that the time spent developing "Getting Started" could have been put to better use...but I guess it'll help your average noob get acquainted with their device.
PS:luvin the 40+mb of storage memory

HTC Dev Center Dead Links

I tried looking all over this forum as well as everywhere else I can think of but I cannot find the answer to my question.
I lost my T-Mobile G1 which was rooted and running cyanogenmod v4.2.6. I just received my replacement and in the process of rooting it and updating to the new cyanogenmod again, I found that the links on the HTC Dev Center site http://developer.htc.com/adp.html are all dead links, just plain text. I have downloaded the "1.6 Recovery Image" from here before, and now I do not know where else to find it.
Does anyone possibly have the file saved that could email it to me, or host it for download? I even called HTC tech support and they said that they do not host the dev website so they cannot help me. I would greatly appreciate any helpful input
Thanks

I still have the 4.1.999 merged rom that has all google apps in it for easy an easier install just pm me if you want it.
well, the site looks different than I last remember it... but yeah the links still aren't working... sorry for not inclduing that in last post.
probably an incompatible browser
I've found that the HTC site won't work properly without IE. There is a popup window with the End-User License Agreement that you need to accept before the links are click-able. The site doesn't work in Firefox for me (though I have Adblock and No-Script installed), that could be the issue you're seeing.

Wow, now we jump from the latest 2.14 to 2.26. That's quite a huge jump. I'm wondering what is really new, and how much problems were in between that let HTC make such a huge step before releasing another version. Also why does it follow so closely to 2.10...2.14 (which seem to be more or less all the same, localized versions).
I'd not touch this now, it's like you install an early release of Windows . Or this may already be SP1 for the 2.10 series hehehe

Status 0 is where there is a problem with your update- binary. Replace the one you had with one from a different 4.4.2 ROM that you know works.

***for other new people to flashing etc***
As an update, got through process of using flashboot and sideload for the fist time which I am thinking of uploading a YouTube video on this which may explain a few things which has taken me a long time figure out by myself - or it could be just me???
I did get to a stage where I was stuck on the HTC logo and was still able to get into the recovery boot screen etc. I found out that I had at somestage while trying clockwork mod or cynogen, had deleted / formatted the system (sorry for the laymans terms). Anyway, managed to install an old stable cynogen mod rom on to the mobile which was fun for awhile until I wanted to update and the path / directories for the update weren't valid, giving me a status 6 error.
I thought it was a bit strange as the updater script was the same.
So I went back and reformatted the mobile through cynogen, wiping the cache / data etc and then used the ADB sideload to install the latest 2016 nightly cynogen mod which works. I will also say that it is a very good and basic version without all the Google rubbish.

That's only for their apps by the way. Silent OS and PrivatOS are both closed source sadly

Sorry again for the late reply. Trying to finish off the assignments for university this weekend.
Re: Link (https) ota-update.blackphone.ch/blackphone-4.4.2-1449161691.zip
I received confirmation from Silent Circle that this is the latest - (I have an account with them)
Hoping the Mega file link works - let me know.
Blackphone OTA 4.4.2-1449161691.zip
Have a great weekend.
Mega link does not work as it asks for a decryption key.
OTA zip works, but within all files are dated June 2014.
Help Me please
I have the Blackphone BP1 model handset from silent circle,it's powerfull it's good for privacy privatos isn't bad for the anti privacy features side,but the lack of google services has driven me crazy,I'm an end user I try to contribute if I find any mods along my path to modding things and have placed some tutorials online in the past,xda forums included,but I have a bit of a dilema I'm no developer and I just cut my contract sim off I have a freedompop sim to my horror it uses google services to enable the app to use it this is not present in privatos can anyone instate google services for third party apps please or develop a moded rom to make it google so I can use my contract sim.

Basically the best way is probably modding a blackphone 2 firmware which has google play services to work with the blackphone bp1 device surely it can be done??? I'd do it if I were a developer but I lack any tuition in the field,but I'd love to learn how,the only drawback is I suffer short term memory loss only very few things stick in memory,they are usualy hands on repetition training,I am theoretically a computer technician but no formal certification,and I have picked up the modding thermal mods and software mods,eg.flashing and rebuilding rom based os's when damaged but this is a totaly different field for the uninitiated,android file structure alone is daunting enough to make me think it's too much to remember,but I allways persevere and that's the only life lesson or educational school lesson I remember a motto "perseverance is the key,if at first you don't succeed then try try and try again" And in modding I will happily sit a day and not give up then come back to it I'll persevere until I get the answer is no or wow it just worked,but I wouldn't often remember the exact process click for click,so when I hit the mark and figure it out I try to drop a tutorial out there for others,just hoping someone can help me here as I am absolutely out of my depth,I use other tools prefabricated to get my mods done and there are none in place I know for this phone,it's the only thing I have I can't get the better of right now.And it's kind of a challenge I want to win at lol.Any help would be advantageous guys so chip in if you can,must be thousands of people need help with this but lack the expertise.Pm me if you would like to offer some advice if you need to thanks in advance love the site and the passion the devs here show,just wish I could contribute more.:good: Pc and laptop diagnostics hardware software I'm here for you but development software wise it's above my head and I'm out of my depth unfortunately.Show me an inch of how and I'll somehow make a mile usually though.I'm MOD1T or modit as I call my self on youtube,formerly I went by ouyashimming lol,no idea why?Because I liked the novelty of ouya and trying to get the best from it before it dissipated as a brand.Now I'm into the shield android tv console,check it out forgive the lack of skills in the editing and my narration in videos but some one or two say nifty hardware mods in there.

Yes, it would be the best base. Blackphone may have put other proprietary feautures within PrivatOS that are incompatible with other phones (like in the kernel). Don't get your hopes up good luck though

[NO ROOT] Remove Advertisements on Lockscreen for FireOS up to 5.6

Warning: Currently, the tool seems to be unable to have the ads permanently go away, so each time you restart they come back. You will have to run the tool everytime you device restarts until I can find a permanent solution. There has to be away to do it
Hello, XDA. Today I'd like to share a lil' batch script (that has a ****ty name I thought of in 2 seconds) I wrote that will remove those stupid advertisements Amazon decided to place on your lockscreen. It isn't hard to use, but if you really don't understand what you're doing you can read the read me, which has steps on how to use the script. Enjoy, I guess. Sorry, if this is a bad first post, I'm pretty new around here. DL: https://share.dmca.gripe/tuOMTWM7uNfpl2MH.zip
Hi, sn0wf
The problem with this tool is the method it uses is not a permanent solution to remove the ads. pm clear only removes the data and cache for the Amazon Special Offers apk. the offers app will rebuild the cache and the ads will come right back. I have to give you credit for this tool however! It is very clean and snappy!

After looking into this, you seem to be right. I'll update my script later to solve this issue. Thank you for the feedback.

I made a tool for all that but I no longer support it. You can copy the commands you want.
Luck!

Ok, well that is pretty fantastic! sn0wf you can update Rortiz's tool and make it freaking awesome! You got this!!
Updated the main post with a DL to the fixed version that works permanently. Btw, I could use some testers as currently all I have is a Kindle Fire HD 8 (7th gen) running FireOS 5.3.6.4 so amy claim that it works on 5.6 is only based on from what I've heard. If any of you would like to try latest version of my tool with other versions of FireOS please do so.
Edit: Even deleting the file does seem to work permanently. Will find a way to do this ASAP.
Edit 2: Further testing shows that the method the new version uses doesn't function as well as the old version so for the time being I'm gonna change the DL to the older version.
