Root [Q] Flash Custom ROM for 2.5.9?

[anshu4ever]

I gota Defy running on 2.1 eclair, with verrsion 2.5.9
I deleted the GTalk app and thus my Android Market messed up and so i cant download any apps
I downloaded the stock sbf rom for the same version.

My question is can I flash 2.5.9 using RSDLite?

All I know is i cant do it through ROMManager as it doesnt let me backup because theres no Clockwork Recovery
And I cant download it because it aint available officially for Defy

Can anyone direct me to a safe way to backup my rom and install Custom rom for 2.5.9 eclair defy?


(Imma noob and this will be my first flash)

I'm confused what you want. Do you want to reinstall gtalk to restore market? Or you want to install a custom rom?

The latest google apps including gtalk can be downloaded from [DEV][ROM] CyanogenMod 7 (Android 2.3.4) - xda-developers

ClockWorkMod for defy can be downloaded from [RECOVERY] DEFY ClockworkMod Recovery - 2.5.1.8 - xda-developers
