So here is what happened...
I am on the 2.2.2 Nordic sbf and Installed CM7 5.1 on it...
I used it for now 1 week.
But when the phone was booting, the green LED appeared while the Red M was displayed (due to the 2nd-init)
But I accidentally removed the battery at this moment and now my phone don't want to boot anymore........
I tried to reboot again but it was in a boot loop....
Then I wiped data by stock recovery and when I reboot,
It stays on the Red M logo and nothing......
I tried everything!
Go to system recovery and wipe data
Went to Custom Recovery and Restore
Re-installed the fixed Nordic sbf...
STILL NO LUCK :"(((((((((((((((((((
Please help me guys.....
please....
I'm gonna cry if it's bricked...
EDIT: Flashed 3.4.3-11 it boots but stuck in a boot loop... :'(

I would say, yes
but it could be that somebody has a way to make it functional again.
PS.: I would post this to the Defy Development topic, because the activity there is muuuch higher.

Gosh it Booted FINALLY!!
I went to system recovery and wiped data again... Phew... I was about to commit suicide... lol
I wonder If I can still go to Nordic again and install CM7....
Did you wipe date/factory reset in stock recovery?
Edit: ok, glad to got it back
What did you do to make it work?
Just a question when you flashed as example the 3.43.11 Rom , did the M-Logo appear??
spryte said:
i had a similar problem, but i wasn't able to flash my device any more.
Try to wipe and afterwards install beta 5.0, for me it worked.
Otherwise try this rom and flash it. This is the one i use as base rom.
Finally, as long as you are still able to power up your phone with the charger it should be possible to find a solution for your problem.

What do you mean by flash?? a SBF or a ROM??

When it boots and gets stuck in a bootloop the phone is not, and I repeat, NOT bricked. Apparently there was clearly a software problem but as long as the device turns on, the display works and you manage to get to the bootloader then there is very little need to worry. So you know for the next time: suppress your panic, breathe and just keep trying.
Even when the screen doesn't turn on it isn't necessarily a bricked phone. This happened to me a few months ago because I was so stupid to flash an older sbf. It turned out that the device actually still functioned up to the bootloader. RSD lite detected the phone and I managed to revive it completely by flashing the original sbf. The Defy really is almost unbrickable mostly thanks to the locked bootloader, a blessing in disguise.

The same I asked, if he saw the M-Logo because then it's normal that it needs more time (5-10 minutes)

Yes everything appeared as normal (white M-logo though)..
When I flashed 3.4.3-11 I got a boot loop then I went to system recovery and wipe Data and it works again..
Do you know if I still can flash other sbf or rom??
I want to go back to CM7... I also have a CWM backup but I'm afraid to restore this...

Then it maybe wasn't a bootloop, because if you flash a new sbf, its normal that it can take 10 minutes to boot

Different sbf -> bootloop
Finally Stock recovery again -> worked!

I have the drivers already installed, i managed to flash the nordic sbf a few days ago without any problem maybe its my computers fault that it fails to see the phone now..? i reainstalled them anyway and still no luck. However, i forgot to mention it earleier - when i connect a turned off phone via usb to my computer the phone itself turns on, hangs at motorola logo and on my computer i can hear 'device plugged' sound and MotoHelper windows appears on my computer, so it is being recognised to some extent. However, in RSD Lite there is still no device in the list and i can't try with flashing another sbf ((((
Hello everyone!
I just updated ROM Manager which prompted me to update my CWM Recovery to 5.0.1.0. Well, I just did so, and now I'm stuck at the HTC screen at boot...
Will reinstalling the ROM fix it? Or is there simpler solution?
Thanks!

Pull the battery and phone should restart normally,seems to be a few bugs with this new release some say to flash the new recovery from fastboot,I found that reflashing from ROM manager a second time worked,still get the odd hang but tested backup and restore which seem to work and I am using it. Over on the DZ forums there is alot of similar stories,either go back to an earlier version or try reflashing again.

Is there a way to go back to a previous CWM version *through* the recovery menu maybe? [EDIT] Ah yeah, you say so, but how? I can't even find a link for it outside the market...

Can you get into recovery?
If not, to use fastboot you need to have ADB set up on your computer,search the forums for a guide.
Let me know if I can help further.
Yeah, I can get into recovery alright. I'm now browsing the CMW repository, damn if I can remember what name the HD goes by
[EDIT] According to this it's the Ace. Keep forgetting...
[EDIT2] I pushed 5.0.1.0 again, same result. I've just pushed 3.0.2.6, but... still stuck?!? Ok, now I'm stumbled. Any help much appreciated...
PS How can you update Recovery through Recovery? I see no such option?

yes, I get stuck in the HTC screen, but I can get into Recovery by removing the battery, powering up and keeping the VolDown keypress just fine. Both Recovery images that I mentioned work OK, but I jsut can't get past the HTC logo when booting normally...
Yes, I got all the programs required set up.
Thanks for helping out...
Could you restore a nandroid then?It sound like something got messed up,if you can get into recovery then the problem must lie with the rom?So try restoring a backup or flash a new ROM
Yeah... I didn't have enough room on the SD for a backup so there's none unfortunately. So I guess it's down to reinstalling the ROM and all the mods again, which I was trying to avoid, but oh well, that's life I guess!
Once more, many thanks.
Some things are worth making some space for........ Glad to help,hope a reinstalled ROM gets you up and running again
Already reinstalling, I'll update with more info when it's done

I have a R800X (Xperia Play) Rooted, without an unlocked bootloader. I had noticed that quite a few apps were crashing, so i tried opening ROM manager to run a permissions fix. However it crashed too, so i turned my phone off to reboot it. When i tried to turn it back on, it was stuck in a bootloop. Going from the " Sony" Screen to the "android" screen, going black, then repeating. I've tried flashing 2.3.3 back on using Flashtool, but i had no luck. I really need help ASAP!! Thanks

Hope you've got CWM... in that case... restore from a NANDroid backup... it's a possible solution, to be honest I don't know any other... probably there some other solutions out there.

1.- CWM (Clock Work Mod) is a recovery menu for doing lots of things...
2.- One of those things are FULL Bakcups called NANDriod backups
3.- With a NANDroid you can fully restore your phone... It's equivalnt to flashing a fresh firmware + titanium (for apps and data)
you should try to install CWM... if your phone don't boot up you can try on booting time... but could be dangerous... your phone is not bricked... so try flashing fresh firm again. If fails again... tell me the whole output of flashtools (or whatever you use to flash).
EDIT: -_-' Just posted... when noticed your answer... It took me some time to write this...
EDIT2: LOL put reCaptcha string... on title XD

As far as I know, there is not a compatible version for the R800X, instead you have to use the general version. Since my phone can unlock its bootloader for some reason, the recovery for it wont work. Unless im Confused on which clockwork we're talking about here.

Hello, I attempted to install a custom rom to improve my phones performance and stop it being sluggish, but it's backfired.
I was smart enough to back up my phone in Clockwork Recovery, and after I've restored my previous backup, well, my phone isn't booting.
It gets past the white HTC Screen (not Quietly Brilliant, just plain HTC) and for some reason it jumps to a black screen. Doing nothing. Just sitting there. I'm still able to access my HBOOT and Recovery but everything I try seems to get me no where. I tried rebooting and doing a factory reset. I could try another factory reset but I don't know where that would get me.
If anyone has any advise I would greatly appreciate it, thank you.

you can try to flash stock rom..it ll boot for sure..
about your problem it's strange..your backup should hv worked cz you just changed recovery nothing else..
Exactly what I'm thinking, I just done another recovery just to be on the safe side, and now my phone is no longer going to a black screen, instead it's just stuck on the HTC screen. But I'll take up your advise and try a stock rom.
This is the rom I attempted to install: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1515120
I followed all the instructions and for some reason it just didn't agree with my phone and wouldn't boot. Hence me restoring my phone.
Never should have bothered and left it as it was. I'll keep you posted.

Right, I just installed the Marvel Stock Rom you have, and it almost boots.
What I mean by this is, it goes through the HTC screen, then reboots.
On the second boot after the HTC screen it throws me back into ClockworkMod. I followed all the instructions you say to do and it still isn't cutting it :-/

Hello, I recently flashed sphongle on my HTC ONE V, and it was working fine. I later installed gapps, which was also working fine (downloaded a few app and recovered my contact etc... using Titanium) for a while until I rebooted the phone. After this I could not get past the loading screen for sphongle. I do not know if Gapps was the issue, but I used version 20130301.
I then went to the my CWM recovery menu and did a factory reset, cleared the cache and tried restoring to the backup I made before I flashed the ROM. After doing this I could not get past the HTC menu. After doing all of this I now cannot access the bootmenu, it instead goes straight to the recovery menu when I hold down the power and volume down button as one would do to access the bootmenu. Because I can't access the bootmenu, I can't use an RUU.
If anyone has any suggestions or ideas I would be very happy.:fingers-crossed:
I'll try to answer any questions people have.
CWM is more trouble than its worth. it doesnt have a boot to bootloader option like twrp? you are in a fix without the ability to access hboot
No it doesn't have the option sadly.

Honestly It's pretty embarrassing, and shows my inexperience at this, but the whole time I tried booting to hboot, my phone was plugged into my computer. Once I unplugged it I could boot into hboot no problem. I guess this would be helpful for new users to know.
