Hello guys,
I need help for upgrading my Defy to the last blur-less rom in 2.2.1.
What I did :
I had the motorola 2.1 stock rom.
I used superonclick to root my defy.
I had a custom recovery installed maybe the one with superoneclick.
I used Rdslite 4.9 with this rom : 3.4.2.-155-2 here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978792
I flashed my device, it restarded, it booted with the "M" of motorola and the "android" logo and that's it, it doesn't go further.
I tried after that to flash differents .sbf of differents versions but some bricked my phone. I reflashed to the 3.4.2-155-2.
Now I still have the booting sequence until "android" logo. I can boot in "flash mode" 9.10 and I can boot in recovery but only to the trinagle, when I click on the bottom right of the screen it doesn't do nothing. edit : In fact I found an other post that says that we can boot in recovery by pressing up volume and down volume button at the same time.
What can I try now ?
Thanks for your help
edit : It's ok now, I could wipe my date and now it works fine. A lot of stress but it's ok now.
OK I've just recently upgraded my 2.1 to the UK 2.2.
When you go into recovery & you see the android logo the bottom right hand of the screen only works in 2.1 I believe so for 2.2 you need to press the volume up & volume down buttons both at the same time. This will take you to the recovery screen & you then use the volume button to choose the action eg; reboot, clear data etc & then press the power button once to confirm that action.
Hope that helps

My first post and I hope i'm in right section. I have just tried to root my htc desire and install 2 roms.
The rooting of phone worked fine [I think]. Came up with super user permissions so guess I got that part right. Now the problem.
I then went to upgrade it from 2.1 to 2.2 using radio zip file and defrost zip file through ROM manager but now can't get any further.
My htc is now stuck on the white htc screen when I switch it on and when I try to do the recovery by holding down the back button while pressing the power button I don't get any joy.
HELP!!! How can I overcome this? Your help would be very appreciated
go to recovery & wipe cache etc then reload the rom

On MyTouch Slide (not sure if is the same on every phone)
You first Hold Down Volume button and don't let go while then press Power button, with volume buttons and power to select Recovery.
And that's how I go to recovery... then proceed with whatever you must/want to do..

Rom Manager, I don't feel like using it to flash a Rom, I'd rather follow instruction for the normal way.

Tried that but it just goes back to white HTC screen - just can't get recovery mode to do anything! - someone told me to try the trackball instead of power button when selecting recovery and all is fine
Okay so I have got a new Motorola Defy and the first thing I did was follow all the instructions to load 3.4.2-155-2 Deblur SBF which I have found absolutely great.
Now prior to loading this SBF I could get the recovery screen up with the Power + Volume down, however since upgrading it has become just a screen with the little android bot and an exclamation mark.
I wasnt bothered about this particulary until now I want to try the clockwork recovery utility and a few other things on my phone. Do I have to load any of the bootloader SBF's that are contained in the SBF thread if I have flashed with 3.4.2-155-2 Deblur ?
My phone is rooted no problem and I have tried to install the clockworkmod apk com.kb7sqi.defy.bootstrap.old.apk file. This appears to work all correctly, it gets superuser permissions and it reports success.
However if I go to the recovery app and click recovery boot it just goes to a black screen?
To fix the black screen simply disable USB debugging.
Still, would like to know what are the bootloaders for?

Press vol+/- together to get menu, press +/- to select, press power to run.

Thanks for your help, the volume together fixed that issue
As for the customized recovery for defy I actually read this :-
I guess someone should mention that this version has been depreciated.
I'd head over to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944543

At the end of that thread and figured I should use it?
One last question if I may, if I browse the SD card from my laptop it does nto show all the files on it?
Pull defy's status menu, tap usb connection, tap mass storage.

The recovery mentioned by the OP is actually made of a newer version, AFAIK. It's also made specifically for Defy.
I've tried both, both work.
Hey guys,
i just flashed the new UK Firmware for my Defy and installed the Pays Froyo Rom.
But now i noticed that its not possible to get into the bootloader and wipe my phone like in Eclair. I started it with VOL down + power button and when the Android appears and i touch in the lower right bottom, no menu appears....
Any hints ?
Thx in advance !
when green android appears press vol + and vol - together

no menu becorse you need install recovery after flashing

touching the lower right bottom is the eclair way of getting into the recovery.
in froyo, you'll have to press volume up then down quickly (almost like pressing up + down). of course, you'll have to install recovery for it to work in the first place
Triangle appears after
press vol + and vol - together
And to avoid future confusion, that is recovery but not bootloader
bootloader - hold power button and vol+ together
recovery - hold power button and vol- together
in recovery mode,hold vol+ and vol- together to show the menu(Froyo)
press power button to confirm
Thanks to u all guys, i finally got it
I would like to know how i can turn my phone back factory settings because i got problems with the phonespeaker...
I know where i can find the stock sbf.file for the german defy, so i flash the sbf.file and thats it ? Where i can get the original stock rom ? (i live in germany and bought the phone in a shop, so ist not branded)
Many thanks in advance !
The stock sbf is the full rom. It should be something like 100-300mb.
So all i have to do is to factory reset and flash the sbf file and everything is undone including root ?

It won't boot if you flash a 2.1 sbf after flashing a full non-fixed 2.2 sbf. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=999566 for downgrade to 2.1.

You will have to install a new sbf...
For that you need to go to bootloader (Power+volume UP)
Install RSD Lite and flash the new sbf!
It may fix it..
EDIT!!
Try Power and Volum Down and if you see an android with a yeallow triangle, Press the buttons as mentioned in the post below and you'll go to stock recovery.
Try volume up and down really fast. Not touching bottom corner. I don't even have my Defy yet but I'm sure I read this!

don't worry you are in a boot loop
first remove your battery and inset it back then press and hold your volume down key and press the power key untill you see the hboot. before make sure you have no ruu file in the root of your sdcard. when u are in the hboot navigate with your volume keys and select recovery and press the power key to select now u will be booted in to the clockwork. thats it now u can flash your new rom.
always check MD5 for the rom.
