NOTICE: Sorry Guys, As i lost my

defy, i will not be able to work for

defy anymore

So i will not be able

to maintain this thread as well. Racca

is maintaining another thread with
updates for this bootmenu here

which can now be called the official

thread.
Hello XDA,
[Notice: You might have checked my signature and already
figured out that i lost my Motorola Defy

So i will be no

longer able to develop anything for defy. I will not be able

to edit the boot menu and optimize it, but i will still post all
the updates i get from Korean Developers. I am sorry to say
that i will not be able to work on porting MiUi to Defy

anymore. I hope some other developer will handle the work

and port MiUi to Defy. Just reply to this thread if you have
anything. Thank You]

This is a pre-boot menu that loads just before the android

system starts, which allows you to enter recovery, start adb

daemon, run 2nd init script, run 2nd boot and few more. I

recently changed the format of this post so that i can easily

add updates, and i hope you guys don't mind it, and if you

want to check the old post, here is the link. I have also added
an unofficial changelog. This MOD was developed by Korean

Developers at http://cafe.naver.com/androiders, so big thanks

goes to them.

Usage:

Quarx

Load second init.rc file which enables you to do a lot of

things that were not possible before.
Load custom recovery before booting os, which makes it
possible to restore your nandroid backup or flash a new
rom even if your system is not booting.
Run ADB Daemon to debug system boot using logcat or
similar tools, very useful for developers.
Change the default boot to 2nd init, so you can load the
2nd init on default boot.
And much more....

P.S. I do not take any responsibilities for the damages caused

by this tool. If you brick your device, the most i can do is

*help* you recover your system. So use it on your own. Works

Well, not right now, but once the korean developers figure

out a way to bypass the recovery signature verification, which

is of course, not easy, we will be able to do that too. And

according to what i kknow, the korean devs are working really

hard on that. But this definitely means that we are one step
closer.

So for now this makes flashing Roms easier? safer? sorry if i

seem confused i'm not getting my Defy till Monday just want
to clarify if i should flash Roms this way or follow directions

dor each rom, all this sbf files and being able to downgrade is
kinda confusing I never had a android phone with a locked
bootloader so all this is new to me.
hope that makes sense.

Well, this doesnt really make flashing roms easier (its same

recovery), but it definitely makes it safer as you can always

restore your nandroid or flash another rom even if your phone

stops booting. And i can totally understand you, the way

motorola works is a bit different than HTC and other phones,

sbfs and stuff like that, but dont worry, if you read the guides
here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?
t=919334 , you will understand everything. Enjoy

That are very great news!!

Does I have to install this after every new firmware-flash or

only after a bootloader up/downgrade?
