New ROM from India

---

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.

You can post the system dump or a nandroid backup or sbf-file

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.
