hi guys,
I hope someone can help me.....
today I install some app to give extra animation and crap but after I ve done it the phone keeps restarting after I slide the srceen to unlock it.
I have done a hard reset formated the phone and cache and still the same,
I have also tried to flash it but RDS came back with " unable to retrieve info from INI file.
sim card is in but there is still "no service" on,
I ve looked through the forum but non of the posts seems to desrcibe my problem.
cheers,
p.s I forgot to add that my rom was 2.51 uk as far as I aware
regards,
hi,
the 'unable to retrieve ini file' could be because of your usb ports.
however,
if you go to recovery mode( hold vol- during startup then vol+ and vol- simultaneously when you see a little green man) you should be able to get a menu which will let you do a factory reset( clear data) which should make the phone work.
cheers
hi,
yes and I ve done it twice already and still rebboting after unlocking the screen
ane other ideas??
I ve treid to dowload rom but it wont extract and the other one saying that about ini file.
cheers,
hi again,
were you trying to install a flashlight fix zip btw before all this happened?
if so, the only option is a full flash.
try it with a different computer but i think at this moment rsdlite is the only hope.
i know because it has happened to me quite a lot.
cheers
hi,
I thinking the same, however, every rom I download doesnt work,
and now stupid question...where can I get a uk rom from??
cheers,
just check the android development section for the defy,
there are plenty of choices for a uk rom.
download one and flash it with rsdlite from a computer with usb 2.0 .
thats the cause of the ini error apparently.
good luck.
hi,
any link please??
I ve not been lazy its just I dowloaded two already and none of them work,
and now even RSD wont find the phone...just great saturday hahaha
cheers,

thanks would be appreciated.
cheers
hi,
I will keep trying and if it wont help then I will have to go to t mobile and change my handset again,
Thanks a lot amansth
.....right guys please RSD saying couldnt retrieve values from INI file, I dont have access to any other PC so is thre any other way??
I ve got one txt file in the folder with firmware with this number in 09a6752e6119bb69c02d02f06a68d17e maybe that just need changing?? I dont want to mess about with it too much cos I m just a rookie
thanks,
...... Hi guys,
After a 6 hour fight I finally managed to flash my phone and it works, old RSD for some reason wouldnt support the phone so I got the new one and I could sleep much better
The only issue is that I liked 2.51, not necessarily the whole blur thing but I still think software looks much better and for example, mail box wont open, not the google one but the other that Ive added. Market place looks quite old compare to how it looked on 2.51, for eg the buttons for apps,games and apps look like big grey brick where in the other one there where nicely "implemented" into the market website.
however, I could not load 2.51 on my phone because it would stay on black screen with white LED on. I ve tried couple of times and always the same.
maybe I m doing something wrong?? what are those 2.51 boot only for?? I ve tried to put that in first then the firmware and still the same.
thanks all,
hi,
sadly, downgrade to 2.51 isnt possible because you upgraded to the froyo roms, the bootloader is newer so it is impossible to go back.
still, the froyo roms are generally better but somehow they seem laggy sometimes.
hopefully since motorola is pushing beta builds and the actual froyo release will come out around april- may you wont have to stay with the blocky icons for long.
I have been searching for the stock USA rom to put my Defy back to stock and I can't find it, I need to send it back to do a warranty exchange...please help, thank you

Via RSD Lite. You can download it from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100585 ( drivers are embedded in the zip )
Download and install Motorola Defy driver
- Download and install RSD Lite
- Open RSD Lite
- Enter Bootloader Mode on you phone (Power+VolUp)
- Connect phone to you PC (USB)
- Open RSD - Lite
- Flash new SBF

this link is from this forum..hope this will work
it keeps failing.... I downloaded another rsdlite and I still have the same issues, I wonder what the problem is.
There are a few things you can try to resolve that issue.
-Try different versions of RSD lite. Usually the latest 5.0 works.
-Try admin mode and/or compatibility mode.
-Try US eclair and froyo sbfs.
-If you have another PC try both xp and 7. one will work.
Remember - depending on how you installed your custom Rom you may not be able to "downgrade" back to the official Rom that you require. So if you have installed a 2.2. Rom and didn't use the fixed sbf method then you will not be able to flash back to the official 2.1 Rom. Likewise if you flashed the leaked 2.3 Rom without using the fixed sbf method then you can't go back to a 2.2 Rom.

Another computer worked like a charm, same OS Win7, weird.
Thank you everybody for helping out.
You are welcome sir! I have gone though this alot. Just sent my defy in I had to get back to stock. I practically completely bricked it. Desktop win7 wouldn't flash sbf but laptop win7 would. Was getting stuck at flashing group 33 at 3%.

Thank U Arpith.fbi!
I had to unroot and reclaim my sh**ty stock apps to install the recent US froyo update and found this thread. First time using RSD Lite, worked flawless. Thanks for the link to the sbf's. Tried #26 first and upon reboot it stuck my phone in an "m" screen loop. removed the batt, sim, and sd,... replaced... then phone wouldn't even show a sign of life. Got the white LED upon usb connection and that was it. RSD Lite still managed to flash it with sbf #25 and I was booted back to my defy with all my data except unrooted and all those crappy apps back. Installing official froyo update now and no more exclamation point!!! Gonna root again with superoneclick, hoping this will be my last update battle on the defy. Thanks again
I tried to patch my phone with CM9-ICS-MR0-111207-jordan-KERNEL-2.3.4-Quarx build and when I rebooted I get this
bootloader
09.10
err:A5,70,00,00,23
battery ok
ok to program
connect USB
data cable
Now I have googled this and found many options.
So far I have tried these.
droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/68222-unbricking-your-droid-x.html
When I do this I get a error (in linux ATM so cant tell you the name will get it ASAP) and I have got rsd lite 5.7 and the latest drivers from the motorola site. I have tried many roms and placed it in C:, My documents, in the RSD folder, on the desktop, in the download folder. Always open the program in admin.
Also this:
droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-sbf/23638-linux-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html
I have tried many of there ISO images and all boot and say they start to do something, then it says failed! rebooting and then it reboots and says to remove battery and go into these option (which I cant as it will only boot on the boot loader screen I tried to get into recovery and no luck) so it was a fail also.
I hope there is a solution as this is a pain, I may of put a to high rom on and cant revert back??
I am sick of googling and alot of the links come back to this site and have tried many but all seem to be repetitive and what I have tried.
Thanks in advance
Ok Fixed this site is the best!!! All I done was read the all in one beginners guide and it linked to a rom for the defy plus (all the other defy plus ones I found where folders not RSD files like this one)
So loaded the file into rsd lite and sure enough it went threw.
YAY! I cant believe I recovered my phone! I knew it was something but to find the right image was the trick I guess.
I did install the defy + CM9 image but I am not sure what happened there.
Thanks to all (more so walter79 for the image)
Hope this helps some one out in the future
Ok I got the phone to work with the image posted in the defy + section but when I boot I get no service.
I have tried to do a factory reset and had to input all the accounts again but that did not help.
what can I do?

Get the baseband switcher app It changes the network related files to the ones correct for your country/network! You need to set it manually, though, so, it may take a couple of tries to figure out which one is the best choice

thank you heaps it had telstra in the settings selected it and looks like I have service now. Thank you so much I cant belive I was just about to give up and get a new phone now I have a working phone with 2.3.6 and rooted now I got the network to work again . Super happy, now to see what I was missing out on since I have been pulling my hair out the last few days thinking I got a bricked phone.

on 3 of my computer, all 3, are stuck at 10% while installing lgmobile support tool... nothing done yet, just installing the software onto the pc.
seriously, is LG support really this bad? I had a skyrocket before and everything was such a breeze...
don't get me wrong, the phone and the developers we have on here is awesome.. but man, LG don't stand behind their products at all.

Plus... with this install being impossible to install, I can't unbrick or install the new ICS release. WTF.
anyone got a fix for this? seriously annoying.
Hello, after I updated my LG Optimus G E977 (same as E975) to Android 4.4 KitKat it can no longer be detected by the computer, and this is driving me crazy, I've been for 2 days trying everything I can do, I've searched and tried every single inscruction that I see on google, allowing debug, changeing port, trying in another computer, changing cable, updating drivers, I've even factory resetted my phone and computer and done everything again (yes, I am desperated).
I know that maybe no one can help me because, trust me, I tried everything that the internet said me to try, and I do not believe that someone have a new way to do it.
I need to root and activate a bootloader because LG sucks (as you can see by this update) and change for cyanogen or another good rom, but it is IMPOSSIBLE because no exploits for root works, the pc can not detect it, oh my god, i am so angry to LG, it took for them 3 years to launch the only update that their flagship had in it's whole life and they do something like that, oh my god, LG.... WHY???
Anyone have any idea on what to do? (yep, i will change my phone in the next few months because LG no more)
Tried towelroot? No pc required.

You need to install LG UNITED MOBILE DRIVERS .. google these and connect your phone after installing them..
I'd also recommend you to take a look at the device manager while the phone is connected
