Why dont you upgrade first to froyo?

Connect to internet, go to settings -> about phone -> I dont remenber the next

Else if you can upgrade via OTA update,

and flash SBF with RSD Lite!

We will continue after you upgrade to froyo!

Thanks

Please excuse me for being lazy. I should have searched more before posting my query. I found your guide of upgrading from Froyo before posting my query.

Anyway... thanks once again.......

I will upgrade to Froyo and then upgrade to quarx CM7 build. [Does wifi hotspot and USB tethering works in quarx CM7 build?]

Of course, everything is working fine.

You can also use MIUI too everything is working , but I recommend CM7 it has official support from Quarx, ICS CM9 its officially supported.

I am able to upgrade to Froyo successfully using instruction provided in your thread. I am able to root also successfully using your instruction. But 2nd init Defy is not working. Whenever I install 2nd init Defy, my phone goes into boot loop. I have disabled USB debugging post install and restarted phone. I tried both latest version and stable version of recovery. In all cases, I am getting boot loop. Any pointers?

When you install 2init and you run it, you press on install recovery, whatever you want, I always choose lastest.

It will ask you for root permissions twice. Later when installed led notificarion eill show green.

Turn off the phone then turn it on when motorola logo is shown you will see notification light in blue, press vol down button, and thats all.

Everything is performed as you have said. At last step when I turn on the phone. I am not getting blue light, I am getting always Motorola Red Logo continuously [boot loop?].

Dont know whether its related but I will try putting my getting another SD card.

Thanks all your support.

Leave Debugging enabled after 2nd-Init installs and restart.

Its not SD Card related. Did you update to Froyo with the OTA or SBF? I used the SBF myself and have never had any 2nd-init issues after installing it. One thing you can try is Factory Reset. Turn on the phone holding Power+Volume Up, then press Volume Up+Volume Down on the screen with a green triangle. Then select Wipe Data\Factory Reset. What this does is deletes everything on /data partition; old eclair data may still be there preventing the tools to work properly if you updated with OTA. Sometimes latent data is still left behind after flashing the sbf and this also helps with that as well.

Since you plan on installing custom roms, you can skip the Blur Setup by typing "eebluroffee" on the very first screen after flashing the sbf. Just hold down the menu button and it will bring up the soft keyboard. There's nothing to select to type into, just type the command and it will eventually work. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get it to work. Then just root and install 2nd-Init as usual.

Here is the link to the thread with the latest version of 2nd-Init Defy. The ones on our forum are outdated, but usually work perfectly (always for me).
Updated 2nd-Init 2.3 Thread

Thanks a lot. Finally I am able to install 2nd Init by replacing latest apk in installer created by josuearisty.

Thanks skeevy420 for the hint. Now I am able to upgrade bravo to latest CM7 from Quarx.

Mine is the oldest Bravo (its a engineering sample from Motorola).
