It's preaty easy my fried: go to recovery menu, make both kind of wipe, go to boot menu, install last version of RDSLight + special moto drivers on you Windows PC, open RDS Light, connect you phone in "boot mode" (RDS Light must recognize you device), chose FW, what you want to flash (you need to download it before - I recomend Froyo 4.3.3-11), press "Start" and after few minutes you will have a Defy with a new FW)
This is very short instruction - all answers on a question, that you have, you can find on this recource. Good luck!

he doesn't need to use the recovery if he just want to flash a sbf. Just flash it via rdslite.

Everything you need to start is here:

Good Luck!

U'd better learn more before flashing your device,
or it will become a brick.

the most inportance is check out your defy's currently version

[Q] Resetting Defy to "factory"

Hey ppl.
I have a big problem, hope you can help me solve it.
I installed jboogies blurless ginger Froyo build 4 a while ago and everything worked fine. Now the gps module and the loudspeaker is broken and id like to send it in. I guess my guarantee is kinda gone when i sent it in with the modified ROM.
Is there any way to get the old bootloader and the normal Blurish Android?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance!
First, you need:
Original SBF of your country, seek for it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
RSD Lite + Moto Drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100585
Then, once you've got everything, power off you phone. You must enter into recovery mode: press volume down and keep pressing it, press power button. Wait for android robot to appear, then press both volume keys and select "Wipe data/factory reset".
Reboot your phone, this time by holding volume up button. Connect phone via usb to pc ( wait for pc to recognize device ), open rsd lite and flash your downloaded sbf.
i am still running the original factory settings + android update, is there a way to save the original factory settings before i try a new rom? sorry i am in a hurry so did not have much time to search the forum first, and as its along the same lines as the first poster i figured it would be a good place to ask a similar question and expand the thread rather then creating a new one
install cwm and make a nandroid backup of your system then search for a fixed sbf of your current software..as long as you have both of them you should be good to go.
Ty for the help one more what do i look at on my phone so i know im getting the right sbf?
at a guess you need t-mob 2.2 us rom
thanks much appreciated.

Help ME! :(

My g2 only charges when connected to the computer and i cant sync nothing! I cant look at my files!
How do you expect someone to help you when you don't give any meaninful information?

Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
i supposed you rooted your phone... HTC Sync won't work anymore if you flashed a custom ROM...

You really haven't supplied any useful information, where we could even begin to try to help you.
Have you connected your phone to your computer successfully before, and only recently not working? Did you change anything?

Well, apparently you don't know what you're talking about. There is no such thing as rooting on Windows Mobile. You're talking about HardSPL.
Did you install the HTC drivers or HTC Sync?
To find out whether your phone is rooted go into the bootloader (turn phone off, then hold volume down when you power it back on). When the bootloader starts up if it says "S-OFF" at the top of the screen you are rooted. If it says "S-ON" then you are not.

I got HBOOT...
Hboot0.82.0008
my Radio is-26.13.04. 19_m
I just want to be the little italian man (mario) i need to insert roms
you could still downgrade with PC10IMG.zip file (download link in rooting guide on wiki). Than it should be working fine - but you loose root!
(last time I was rerooting it took me less than 5 minutes, so it should not be such a big problem )
anyother thoughts?

Try a different computer/USB cable?
Can ADB see your device when it's plugged in?
Are you S-OFF? If so, try flashing a different ROM and see if the problem goes away.
Like others said, too difficult to definitively say what's going wrong without you providing some more information.

i am s off
how do you flash a custom rom, im stupid and cant find it :'( and btw this has to be through an sd card cause i think cant do nothing with my usb :/
do you have root permitions ? if so - download rom manager (at market), at first click on flash clockwork recovery and when its done take "download rom" - choose which one you want to and follow the steps that will rom manager tell you.
otherwise you could (after flashing recovery) put some rom to your sdcard, go to the recovery (power button + volume up; take care to not have pc10img file on your sdcard in that moment) - go to the recovery, wipe data /cache, advanced - wipe battery status / dalvik; back , instal zip - choose zip file with rom - and you are ready to go.
... says an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands D:
i do have recovery mode what can i do with that?

[Q] fastboot LT26i

Hi, I am here in flashing phones newbie, so sorry in advance. I have LT26i original stock firmware. And I would like to use android 4.2.2 (because waiting for official firmware is unbelivieble). So I found some instructions how can I do it.
first root,then unlock bootloader,then install CWM and then install firmware
Root is done, I think that my unlock is already done too , but without my working on it. Because if I press *#*#7378423#*#* and then Service info--->Configuration I see this: Bootloader unlocked yes.
Next if I want to install cwm I do not know how, beacuase I cant go into fastboot. If I use combination switch on+volume up in same time as I plug USB cabel in device manager appear nothing new. (I am using win8 and UsB debuging is enabled). And a situation is if i press all , is short one vibration then 3 short vibration, logo Sony and it is repeating if I hold all,
what is a issue?
thank you very much

Hello madacek,
I wish I could help you out with all the questions,
But just explaning them will not be sufficient.
This requires lot of reading the forum and learn the basics of flashing in installing roms.
But I'd try to explain you the best as possible.
1. Is Your Phone Bootloader Unlocked?
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked
2. Which Firmware?
Well Actually Every Firmware from Are Very Amazing Developers are Great To Use.
What matters is, Is the firmware stable or not?
Developers Publish 3 Types of Firmwares.
- Nightly Builds : Generally published every week or so for developing perpose
- Monthly Builds : Much Stable Then Nightly.
- Beta Versions : Most Stable.
These may vary depending on developers,
There are a lot of Custom Roms for Xperia. And every one of them is Unique And Great.
List of ROMS for Xperia S is Given Here.. ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950706
3 How To Instal Firmware.
First of All.
You need to know What problems You can have if You are not flashing Step by Step.
Soft Brick -- Flashing was Not Proper
Hard Brick -- If an any case your phone shuts down during flash.
Bootloops -- This is when your phone goes on doing a same repetitive boot again and again. (Possible Fix - FLash boot.img in downloaded rom zip via FLashtool)
Now Step by Step Process. :
1.Device Unlocking
All info regarding unlocking procedure is on SONY website
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2.Copy update on phone
a.copy update
copy update-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip coresponding to your device to sdcard
b.copy GAPPS
due to legal rules gapps are not provided into main rom
google for gapps package and copy on sdcard
3.Flash CM kernel
a. extract boot.img from zip file
Plugin The Device To FLASHTOOLS on PC
And Follow These Instructions ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963961
4.Boot into recovery
While FXP logo is displayed (and lights are lit) press several times volume up to enter CWM (recovery)
5.Flash ROM
To update main rom select
a.Install zip from sdcard
b.choose zip from sdcard
c.select your update (copied at step 2)
To flash gapps redo steps a-c and select gapps package
!!! use gapps version designed for your android version !!!
6.Wipe device
!!! if after boot you experience ForceClose then is recommend to reboot to recovery and wipe device
7.Partition format
Is not recommended to format your partitions unless you are advised to do otherwise
8.Reboot and Enjoy
4 Something Important You Need To Know
Do Not Panic. Your phone will not Brick Until You do Something Crazy Like Throwing The phone on wall while Flashing or Plug out the USB when everything is Flashing fine. This requires patience and time. Dont freak out or do something crazy.
5.What is Fastboot?
There are two types of Boot,
Flashmode Boot.
And
Fastboot.
Flashmode is generally used for official stock firmware flashing.
Fastboot is used by developers to flash custom ROMS.
You can go into
Flashmode by Pressing Volume Up Button While Connecting Usb into PC before Starting A Flash
Fastboot by Pressing Volume Down Button While Connecting Usb into PC before Starting A Flash
Slim ROM Its really nice ROM actually And I Have Used The Slim Bean Build 5 Nozomi for a long time now. But currently on CM10 Team FXP. TeamFreeXperia are very professional and release stable builds, So i'd advice you to try one of CM10.

A Word of little advice.
SOFT RESET = 1 vibration then let go of buttons (hold about 3 seconds); Like hitting REBOOT.
HARD RESET = 3 vibrations then let go (about 10 seconds); Like taking out the battery.*
*USE HARD RESET ONLY IF ALL OTHER TRICKS HAVE FAILED. RECOVERY FROM THIS DEEP LEVEL OF SOFT-BRICK WILL TAKE A LONG TIME
Hard Reset Not Advisable @ First Attepmt
answer
Thank you very much, everything was working great. But now I would like to solve other flashing in other thread. My question is how can i close this thread as solved?

[Q] [SOLVED] Tried installing CM 10.1.0 RC5 Odin now the screens just black

Well, after a series of rooting and trying to get CWM recovery on my Xperia ZL and getting SuperSU I decided it was time to update to CM 10.1.0 RC5 Odin I didn't unlock my bootloader cause I don't know how, to my knowledge of a video I saw online if your phone says that you cannot unlock your bootloader than you can't. So I just thought it was okay to install CM 10.1.0 and did so, now my phone is stuck in infinite reboot without any sort of logo and just stuck at a black screen. I was wondering if any of you guys can help me solve this :\ thanks!

If you can still access CWM Recovery you can try to restore a backup of your old system. Otherwise you will have to flash an FTF using Flashtools.
(You can find the FTF that belongs to your phone here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2094).
If it is your first time using Flashtools you can search here in xda for guides, there are many that explain how to flash a FTF
And, as I said in another post before, every rom that needs to flash a Kernel (CM10.1, PAC, ReVolt, etc) you must have an unlocked bootloader unless it's tagged as a stock based rom.

I love you so much man, thanks a lot. I'm going to try out a couple of methods to at least restore the phone to 4.1.2. Do you have any advice on how to unlock the bootloader or any roms that doesn't require an unlocked bootloader?
Edit: By the way, I can't access CWM I wish I could, but I tried pressing the hard OFF button on the back of the phone and I tried pressing every button as well, it doesn't connect to my laptop or computer at all. Any way I can connect it to reset it?

Actually all Stock Roms (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2094) don't require an unlocked bootloader, but if you want to unlock it so you can install Custom Roms (Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2095) that are not Stock based here is a very nice Tutorial about how to do the Unlock Bootloader procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2153261

You are the boss man, thanks a bunch I was so worried about my phone. I just got it and was about to unlock it for a company that's super cheaper than all the other phone companies. I'm currently flashbooting it so I can restore it. I will take a peak at the bootloader unlocking procedure and I'm going to thank you again for your help.
Edit: My phone is being recognized in Flashmode only and randomly disconnects and reconnects. I hope I can flash it when the .zip is done downloading. I'll keep you posted.
Edit 2: I'm stuck on FlashTools "Reading Device Information" :\ now I'm stuck at 7% of Flashing Data and it hasn't moved

I would recommend you to flash this FTF first because you need to recover your android system first so you can move files in and out, install recoveries, etc. After doing so you can continue with that rom

Do a hard reset on it (using the button on the back), don't turn it on and follow the Flashtools flashing process
1.- Open Flashtools
2.- Flash mode > Flashmode > Select the FTF you just downloaded (The one of 700+MB) > Flash
3.- Connect your Phone if Flash mode (It will start flashing).
4.- Boot your phone and you're ready to go.
When selecting the FTF just select it and leave everything as it is and make sure that you have installed the drivers for flashing (
They are where found you installed Flashtools
In a folder called Drivers, open the .exe and Install these:
- Fastboot drivers
- Flashmode drivers
- Xperia Z and SO-02E drivers
If stills doesn't works I can't help any far as that, but I would suggest you that If you are able try to flash it on another computer (It might sound silly but It could actually work ), also make sure that you're running the latest Flashtool which is v0.9.11.0 and can be found here: http://androxyde.github.io/

Aha, did you use the wrong recovery? I'm gonna take a blind-shot and think that you did. ;/ So maybe you cannot flash CM on it. It is common mistake. - What you are seeing right now is the stock LG charging pre-system. I think you have wiped the image from the system, so it shows you the RAW data instead.
Well, let it charge to 20-25%
Then do this:
1. Unplug the tablet from charger and let it turn fully off.
2. Press and HOLD Volume Down + Power Button.
3. On LG Logo appear, ONLY release Power key, still holding Volume Down. Then quickly press and hold Power and Volume UP also. So now you hold all three buttons. So you need three fingers.
This should take you to "Factory Reset", but when you have custom recovery, you can press Power and you will come to custom recovery. I think you can mount the external SD card and then flash a new recovery. Go find PhilZ recovery in the Original Android Development sub-forum here. You just flash the Zip inside of TWRP. When that is done, reboot and repeat the steps on the top of this post, then flash CM.
Keep on trying the key combo, it is a bit tricky, but it works. While you try and get to recovery, download PhilZ CWM touch and prepare the SD card on your computer, if you have the option.
Good luck.

thanks for your reply.
yes I did use the wrong recovery, as a matter of fact I didnt know which one to use so I choose one randomly
the bad thing I did what u said. and nothing happened .. still stuck at the lg logo and Is not charging anymore...
Keep on trying the key combo. Hold power + volume down, when logo comes, release power, still hold volume down, then also hold power and volume up, so you hold all 3 buttons. But never release volume down.

No custom recovery. Hn, we must do another thing then, wait a second. I must find a text and copy it to you from another post, brb. We must go to download mode instead when no recovery.

Here is quote from someone else I found in another place but shutdown the thread without thinking.
I use the download mode to install the original official rom.
1. Download the LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL by this link:http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-V500-White
2. install the software in computer, Plug in USB cable with computer, Open the software LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL.
3. Turn off Pad and unplug.
4. press hold both volume up and volume down, Then plug in usb cable, And then pad is in downlaod mode
5. USB driver will be insatlled automatically
6. In LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL, click option---.country and language-OK, then click option--upgrade recovery
7. It will installe original official rom automatically.
8. After about 1.5 hours, The pad will be installed the last official room.
^ This is a quote and now I shut down the thread, sorry, don't know who said it, just got stoked when I saw it.

What? You got recovery booted but it restarted itself again to LG screen? If you can, just stay in recovery.

Go into http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551499 and scroll down to downloads.
You are on stock ROM, meaning you wanna go and check in your system settings - about tablet for the software information. Choose one of the three: V50010a, V50010c or V500e. Download the right one for your device. Then a few lines lower, download "Loki" from the link.
Enable developer settings in your Tablet and follow the adb instructions in the thread. This is the TWRP you need to flash a KitKat rom. The older versions will fck up your device. - Remember to root before you begin!

hey man thanks for ur reply.
so far we are In the same page
I downloaded v50010a which Is my devIce then loki zip
but I have no Idea what Is cdm and adb I tried to open cmd and run thoose commands but I getting eroor adb not support something like that.
although I download adb.exe and fastbook and Installed It.
Is It any way to flash recovery though my tablet like goo apps or rom manager ?
thanks.
Go here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2553192
Read first post, donwload and enable developer options on Tablet.
Then download and run the .bat file. Then you get root.
Then you go download the V50010a.lok file and you rename the file to V50010a.img instead.
Then you go to market on phone and search for "Flashify", and you flash the .img in there. (I don't use it, but many people does.)
I recommend you study a bit on adb and fastboot for another time, since if anything crashes, adb is the way to go. Not Flashify. But for now Flashify GUI should be fine. Just remember the root first.
This is the last question I will help you with since all of your questions has been in other threads and you should be able to find them in the forums.
