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

racca · Jan 29, 2011

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

Andy

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

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.

thank you. my upload is still stuck at 20% sadly.

Edit:
Racca is right. It is originally from gfan:

I think the original post is this one:
http://www.itfunz.com/thread-68742-1-1.html

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.

no, that's not it. it's from gfan not itfunz. the first paragraph is actually a screen shot of the original gfan post (who teased the said sbf for a couple of days) and look closely: "以下转自机锋论坛".

You are right.

If it is rootable, would you please post a nandroid backup of this rom?
Thanks in advance.

yes, but well, i'm still stuck with sloooooow connection, so, i'd expect someone else to post it first.

edit, actually, i can post it with 115 after i'm done with system dump. then you'll be able to re-up it.

OK, though I think everyone can download it from 115.
Thanks.

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

morphin · Jan 29, 2011

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

Andy

o.k. found it, press down and up at the same time

You might have to hold both vol up/down buttons together like the US one
