Hello there,
I Bricked my Defy a few days ago - i installed 2.51 and tried to revert back to 2.31 - device went completly dead after 3 attempts, not even a white light with power connected etc etc).
So i sent it back and will receive a new one today
my question is that I have a back up using Clockwork defy recovery on my SD card - can i install this backup onto the new device or are there device specific elements that will cause issues?
I'm not seeing a problem with that at all, should work fine.
Ok. I tried it. Results were almost fine.... Bluetooth died, i am guessing an id conflict because i renamed it... so i reflashed it and manually reloaded everything.

Hey,
I've recently rooted my T-mobile branded Desire handset (i got frustrated with the German apps) i used Unrevoked and all worked fine.
I then decided to install a custom ROM using ROM manager pro and proceeded to put cyanogen (the latest version) on.
it was all working fine and i added gapps also.
I then restored my apps from mybackup pro. and it put all the apps on my phone that i had before (or at least the ones i wanted)
The phone reset and since its not come on. The first screen keeps loading and doing nothing.
I put it into bootloader and tried to restore but that takes me back to the loading screen again and doesn't do anything.
Any suggestions?
I am completely at a loss. Is my Desire bricked
Same Problem
I have the exact same problem.
Has anyone found out how to fix this?
Hi,
I am having a really odd and very frustrating issue with the latest CM7 Stable Build on my device.
I have been using the latest stable since its release back in November.
I ensured a clean wipe and install of CM 7.1.0.1 and setup my phone accordingly and Nandroid Back Up around a Week later as the Device was behaving as intended.
Sadly, I am now plagued with the following issue which occurs without any common trigger....
I will be using the device which will be behaving normally and it will suddenly, normally when screen is off... reboot and enter a Boot Loop (CM7 Robot will either be frozen solid or will keep rebooting to CM7 Robot) which seems to continue until a battery pull.
I will then restart the device and it sometimes boots straight away though sometimes hangs for a while. Once booted it boot to the 'Setup your device' Screen, from which point onwards you are required to Re-Enter your Logins for Google and such like. All settings and sync profiles are normally missing/deleted so requires setting up of all apps requiring logins etc.
As you can imagine, the above is quite an inconvenient as it normally happens when I actually need to use the device
I have tried reinstalling a clean CM7 over the top as well as wiping and formatting the SD card.
Neither seem to have solved the issue.
Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
It is also worth noting that while the device will charge off USB, it will not allow usb tethering or any form of USB Mounting etc.
Cheers
Jason

cm7 issues.
sounds like your in quite a pickle my friend.
i used to get your reboot issues (the bootloops) but that was because my phone was overclocked to over 700. i never got the setup device screen though.
when you say youve tried a clean install over cm7 have you factory reset the device as well as deleteing the dalvik cache??
also my sound stupid but have you tried your backup to see if it starts again??
it sounds like something has became quite corrupted.
have you installed any new apps recently or changed anything in the system files of the phone?
also when you have to go through the set up are all your apps still there afterwards? And when you first flashed it did the tethering work at all?

Yup and while it does restore to a point where I can use my phone quite quickly after however I'm very cautious after - typically it happens a couple of weeks later

No real new recent apps installed and no mods to the system files that I can recall.

All my apps are still installed but many apps require re-setup or accounts for sync require re-adding. Phonebook requires import of contacts however messages remain in place.
I can't recall I think it did or at least USB-Storage did
Do you have a SD ext partition?
I ask because I had similar problems (randomly losing data) with an ext 4 partition, repartitioning my card using ext 3 solved it, also put your dalvik cache and data back into phone memory if it isn't already as that can also cause instability.

Try this....
Run an RUU for wildfire.
- Download (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_C_Radio_13.45.55.24 _ 3.35.15.19_release_141106_signed) from android forums.
- Connect phone to PC and run RUU
- This downgrads phone OS to eclair (android 2.1)
- Let it do the bizniss
- Re-root with unrevoked 3
- Re-Flash CM7 and gApps
Many thanks Scratch and Arkose,
Since my post last week I have since formatted the SD Card as well as Wiping the Phone as much as possible.
I then flashed and installed the latest CM7 Stable, Radio Package as well as re-setting up the EXT Partition this time as Type 3.
Once up and running I reinstalled all Apps.
Seems to be running okay so far.
Long may it last hopefully.
If not will try last suggesion
Great stuff. Let us know how it goes

A quick update...
Still having issues
I'm noticing that randomly phone process will crash for no apparent reason/cause, normally when off Wifi and on Mobile Data.
Last night was the worst its even been though... at a critical moment when I needed the phone to work... it decided it was having none of it.
Phone kept switching Airplane Mode On and Off causing process.android.com to crash along with most other services So I rebooted only to find that it now was either stuck in Airplane Mode or couldnt enable to Radio (No Phone Signal at all) so I did a battery pull while trying to walk home in the pitch black and rebooted.
The Saga continued even after a battery pull, I eventually as I got in the door was able to use the 'Torch' and recieve a phonecall before all the processes crashed once more...
So I did a battery pull, left the phone for five mins and rebooted. All was well for a while, enabled Wifi, phone seemed happy.
Had to reboot a short while ago, after recieiving a phonecall and text.... grrr... anyone have any suggestions?
I had problem with process restarting. Adw launcher process I downloaded Go Launcher ex I have no problems now.

Hey, guys!
I am in a desperate need of help. Here's my situation:
I've got an HTC Desire (obviously), which reboots every time the ROM starts. It all began after I decided to move back to a Sense ROM after having been testing ICS for the past couple of weeks. So, I flashed RCmix S - a ROM I knew to be stable and working snappily on my phone. Everything went well, I restored my apps with Titanium and then decided to remove some of the junk stock apps. When this was done, I restarted the phone, only to be faced with a series of reboots every time I got glimpse of the Sense UI (i.e. seconds after unlocking the SIM card).
I thought this might be a ROM-related issue, so I tried another one - Supernova. Same thing. Tried flashing it several times after full wipe always. No luck.
During the whole process I switched HBOOTs a few times - from stock, to Fatsys (IN2SD), back to stock. Tried several recoveries (AmonRA, 4Ext touch).
Even flashed official RUUs at least 3 times in order to get the phone back to its factory state. Once the stock ROM worked fine. Then I went on to root it and tried flashing one of the customs ROMs again, which, predictably, began rebooting just after SIM unlock.
I thought this might be connected to problems with the SD card, so I reformatted it completely - 6,8 GB FAT32 + 1 GB Ext4, using GParted. All by the book.
No I've got a clean SD (removed all the previous folders), but it doesn't seem to solve the problems.
Can anyone, please, think of something that I could do in order to get my phone back?
P.S. I forgot to mention, that my phone is S-Off. It struck me as strange, though, that it stayed S-Off even after flashing the RUUs.
New development: this morning, after successfully creating a Gold Card, I went on to try and flash a 2.2 RUU again. This time, however, the installer announced it was unable to access certain files and thus the flash process had failed. Meanwhile, the phone itself displayed a triangle and an exclamation mark on the 4 corners of the screen. I no long can access Recovery or the Bootloader. Help me, please!
Never mind, I managed it myself.
Hey guys. As the title suggests, I can't boot my Note 2 (sgh-i317). It is stuck on the AT&T logo and while it's stuck there it vibrates slightly every 5-6 seconds. I tried changing my screen density to 240 and it worked for a bit but annoed me. then I went to change it back and got this problem. I accidentally set it to 360 I think though, instead of 320. I have wiped the cache. I have wiped the data. I have installed roms countless times already with Odin. I'd imagine my reset counter is at over 10 just from today.
I've been searching on google and these forums for hours and have seen many suggestions, but none of them have worked. The farthest I have gotten was to get the phone to boot, but once I start going through all the setup stuff I begin getting error popups saying that Touchwiz home has stopped responding. As soon as I push OK the error immediately pops up again. I seriously can not do anything with my phone.
Is there any way to get a stock build.prop file somewhere for this phone, and if so, how would I install it if I can't even boot into the device?
Any help would greatly be appreciated. I have no idea where else to turn here. Thanks!

Do you have a backup to restore from recovery ??
If not....then power down the device and remove the SD card and place it into a PC card adapter...
Then download or copy over a suitable rom...
Then place the SD into the phone and boot into recovery...
Fully wipe the device and flash the rom of choice...
Reboot....set....profit....g
Edit:
Are you certain that your power button is not stuck ?
If the method I suggested fails... and rebooting occurs with vibration...then your power button is suspect....g

Thanks. Well I got it to boot finally, however there's been a couple issues since. It's on 4.1.2 right now...
1. Whenever I try to officially update to 4.3 through the settings, it downloads, then when installing it ALWAYS fails at 25%.
2. This is a big issue. My data connectivity is gone. I have no 4g access period. If I'm not using a wifi network, I can't do anything online, period. I've reflashed numerous times, and can't get it to recognize the network. I can make calls just fine, just no data.
I've tried wiping data and going to factory reset, but this doesn't help in any way whatsoever. I've popped out the battery and sim card and reinserted after a few minutes, still to no avail.
The funny thing also, last night my friend, who has the same phone, updated to 4.3 and got the EXACT issues I've been dealing with. The ONLY thing in common is that we have both rooted our phones in the past. When I first got 4.3 it worked fine. It wasn't until I rooted that these issues began. My friend's phone was not rooted, however it had been in the past. I'm thinking that this 4.3 update has an issue with phones that are rooted or have been at some time. I don't know how it can tell, but that's all I can think of. his phone now is also a doorstop, like mine.
K, fixed data connectivity from another thread here. For some reason, even if I wipe my system, it seems to still keep settings intact. In this case, nothing set in APN. Seems the more I try to fix my phone, the more problems show up.
If you updated to official 4.3...then yes ...a whole new host of problems are yours until the devs figure out the locked bootloader and it's knox flag...
Backups won't restore....and so forth...
Read around ....you'll see...g

I have read around regarding this problem without luck, and hope that someone can advise if I have missed anything.
I used to use this phone and as I liked to tweak it was running a custom rom (think it was Wanams). Anyway I got an upgrade ages ago, and my wife carried on using the phone for a while. As she just needs a standard rom I recently decided to factory reset and use Odin to flash the newest stock rom (N7100XXUFNE1 - UK). This is when the problems started. Initially the Wifi wouldn't come on, but after factory resetting and using the Samsung Updater in Kies I finally managed to get Wifi back. Then, while setting it up and installing apps from the Play store it started freezing and had to be rebooted every 5 or 10 mins. Finally after doing this a couple of times, all the apps were installed and after leaving it to "settle" it seemed to be better. Now however, 2 or 3 times a day, when playing games or using other apps, it will just reboot.
What I have tried is:
* I have tried clearing cache through the stock recovery
* Tried a number of Factory Resets
* After reading about the SDS problem I have tried running the "dummy file generator" to fill the internal memory and this completes ok. I guess this means that although I have memory that is/was susceptible I applied the original SDS fix early enough with the custom rom that all the memory is still ok?
As I have the newest bootloader I can't downgrade that, but as I don't care about triggering Knox I was thinking of rooting and installing a custom rom to see if any of the other Kernels help?
Has anyone got any idea's what could be causing this and what I can do to fix it?
Thanks.
