Debranding Motorola Defy

I've just got my Motorola Defy and I must say that it is a fantastic smartphone! The phone is unlocked, the problem was just this stock rom by SFR (Vodafone in France). I don't like stock rom or carrier applications and look on my phones I prefers to give the the look and configuration that I like. As a newbee I just had to do some look up and search to be sure what and how I was going to flash the new rom. The stock rom installed was in android version 2.1 (eclair) and I must say that before anything you should back up all contacts and data, just in case. The flashing procedure will erase all the applications you've installed before. So this is what you need: * The Motorola drivers for windows * The flashing tool RSDLite (I've used version 5.6) * The unbranded rom Froyo 2.2.2 for Motorola http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/54848-rom-stock-android-froyo/ Here you can find a list of roms and tools from the xda- developpers forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index
