[Q] Big problem .... my phone stuck on the "m" at boot !!!

Hi everybody,
I have the defy, I've rooted it with Z4root, got the super users.
Everything was working fine.
Today I tried to install a zip from this website "xda developpers" with the HTC sense theme on it (I don't remember where on the website I took it) !! whatever...
Problem now is when I re-booted the phone it got stuck on the "m" of motorola and now I can't do anything !!!??
I tried to turn it off with the power button but useless....
So I did it taking of the battery.
I looked with RSD Lite and it shows my phone but with no name, no IMEI, no Software version.... !!???
Is the phone dead ???
I've also tried to go to the recovery mode but I can reach only the one with "Android system recovery 2e" which gives me only those 4 modes:
- Reboot system now
- Apply sdcard:update.zip
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
And at the bottom it shows:
E:Can't open /cach/recovery/command
I tried "wipe data/factory reset" but it doesn't change anything...
Please need help guys !!!
Thanks.

as long as your phone is showing as connected in rsd lite, you can reflash the most appropriate .sbf as per my guide, doesn't matter what else it says as long as it says connected.

Thank you for your answer.
I tried with the 2.21 version and it looks ok, but at the end when the phone has to re-boot itself (still usb connected), it boot and stays on the "m" of motorola !!! ???

I have the same problem, RSD lite is currently running, I will update when it is finished
**UPDATE** took a while to start booting but i am now seeing the MotoBlur animation which must be a good sign, as i said it is taking a while, and it is now working fine

Thanks for your explanation...
but how long it takes in minutes to boot on the motoblur logo ???
thanks.
I'm gonna try again.

I would prob boot into recovery mode and wipe data if the reflash doesn't work a second time. Who knows where this theme has installed stuff. On a general note only install themes that are specifically designed for your device/build, sounds like this one wasn't.

Thanks Higgsy,
just a question:
The only recovery mode I can reach is the one I stated before.
I've already done the wipe data/recovry mode that is proposed.
It didn't change anything.
I'm at work, I'll try a flash when I come back.
I might flash it with the Jboogie3 beta 4 !!!

It took about 5 minutes to fully boot Also in RDS lite the progress percentage thing was increasing but.again much slower than when i debranded my defy. I would try leaving rds lite running for a while and seeing what happens but if it doesn't work then im really not sure. Have you tried factory restore here is how to do it

Good luck.

Thank you for your explanation but I've already done the factory rest...
but still stuck !!
Can't wait to finish work and to test with RSD Lite 4.9 again.

1) Turn off the phone
2) Hold [Volume UP] and [Power] until the backlight comes on, then release the [Power] button.
3) You should now be looking at the bootloader. White, blocky text on a black background. It should say something along the lines of "Ready to program, connect USB data cable"
4) Connect the phone to your computer, using the USB data cable
5) Fire up RSD lite and start loading the appropriate SBF, which judging by your flag, would be this one.
...those steps work for me, anyways

thanks Sorensiim,
just to be sure, last time I unzipped the .gz file, and it use the .sbf file only with rsd lite right ??

Correct, that's how it's done

Sorensiim... you're the man !!!
It worked !!!
I think last time it didn't work due to a bad .sbf file !!
Cause I did the same !!!
Whatever thanks a lot again.

Turn off the phone, press VOLDOWN and then POWER for about 5 sec and then drop the POWER button, you will see an android, press the bottom right part of the screen and a recovery menu will open, Wipe and try again.
If this doesn't work just try to flash a original SBF using RSDLite and using the same method as above but pressing VOLUP.
regards.

Like the guy above me said, take out the battery so your phone is off, put it back in, hold the power button and volume up at the same time and you should get a special boot menu, plug your phone into your computer while in the boot menu, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674 to flash a sbf, download any of those firmwares, preferablly 2.34 because you dont have to make a motoblur account, and hopefully u made a backup of your system before, so reroot your new flash, install the system recovery, and restore to your backup, and it should be just like it was before

ok i will try it

i can't see my device in RSD lite
there is a way to use update.zip with a boot file?

Your phone might not be identified correctly in bootloader. If it does not show up at all make sure you have the latest version of RSD Lite...4.9 I believe.

i have the latest version

i try to install frozenEclairDefy with scard:update.zip but i have this message:
Install from scard
..Finding update package
..Opening update package
..Verifying update package
..E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
how can i fix it?

Sounds like you are trying to do this using the stock recovery? Cannot be done this way.

is there another way to activate RSD lite 4.9 because it don't see my device??

What version of Windows are you running? If it's Windows 7 you may need to run the program as admin.

i succeed to fix my Defy with McGyver Dead Battery Fix ^^!! my battery was dead and I use bootloader (VOL UP Button) which is differente from recovery(VOL DOWN Button) what i used before.
Thank's rbeier1221

Nice. Glad that worked!

Hi, the reason for your problem with rsdlite (can't find the device) could be a missing USB-driver, which you can download from the original motorola-site.
I hope it helped

[Q] Big issues with my Desire Z

Today I got my Desire Z back from the repair. I immediately downgraded it to 1.34 and I rooted it. After that, I put on CM7. Which worked great. Then I added Godspeeds kernel to overclock it. It hung on the launch screen. I managed to get it out after that. Then I decided to go back to the normal firmware instead of CM7. What happened was that I installed the T-Mobile G2 firmware instead of the normal Desire Z with HTC Sense
Now I am really stuck and my plane is leaving tonight... :'(
Can anyone help me please?
PS: When I try to enter recovery mode, it vibrates and shows a phone with a red triangle and an exclamation mark... :S I can get in the bootloader but not in recovery mode...

I thought installing firmware should not mess up recovery... did something happen in between? Can you get any adb connection in any point? I wish I could be more helpful...

Well nothing really happened in between. The bootloader still says S-Off on top and I can still get an adb connection in. I'm just stuck with the wrong firmware and can't get out of it.

Try this when at the screen with the red triangle press power and vol up till u see blue words say install update,recovery,reset etc and slect recovery that should take u to cwm

I was able to get those blue letters but what should I do in the recovery menu then? I tried applying the update.zip of CM7 but that gave an error.

cyanogen's kernel has built-in overclocking out of the box, so unless you have a good reason for changing it, there's no sense in doing so. (just so you don't make that mistake again: godspeed kernel is not compatible with CM7)
if, while in recovery, you selected "apply update.zip from sdcard", it's not going to work (unless you named the CM zip you downloaded "update.zip" and placed it on the root of your sdcard). you need to select "install zip from sdcard" and then navigate to wherever your CM rom zip is.
also, so long as you have radio s-off and are rooted, you can flash whatever you want onto your phone and be able to change it later. if you flashed the PC10IMG of a t-mobile rom (as long as it wasn't the gingerbread leak), you're fine.
also also... MAKE A BACKUP. you will never encounter this type of stuff again after creating a stable backup to turn to in the event that something goes haywire. you do this from within CWM recovery as well.

Yeah I now managed to get it back at CM7. All that's left to do is to get back to an overclocked sense ui. I prefer sense over CM7 I found out. So how should I get back?
I also can't sync with HTC Sync atm -.-

Considered u have CM7 running then just install ROM Mgr, reflash CWM and flash whatever ROM u want

Oke and what rom should I take? Since I prefer the standard sense ui.

there are lots of sense roms in the dev section. I think the ones receiving the most praise at the moment (sense users can correct me if I'm wrong here) are virtuous unity, insertcoin and coredroid.

Godspeed is for Sense ROMs only. When flashing kernels, you need to make sure its a Sense or non-Sense kernel, and also Froyo or Gingerbread kernel, depending on the ROM you are on.

Error formatting /data in ClockworkMod [Complete noob]

Hi guys, a little background :
I S-Off'd my Desire S a few weeks ago and installed/clicked gingerbread which i gather roots it?
One day my screen went blank randomly with just the notification bar showing up top. No buttons worked, couldn't turn it off etc.. so I did a battery pull. It then got stuck on the HTC screen, so I googled, tried clicking recovery/factory reset etc.. all while not really knowing what i was doing, but in the end it randomly loaded after a long wait.
Phew, or so I thought.
Now it constantly crashes, turns itself off, the camera doesn't work, force closes galore.. it's a mess. Figured the battery pull messed something up.
Searched a bit more and figured i should try and flash a ROM which might fix it and get it stable again.
Tried installing using 'download ROM' in Rommanager, it did all the installing and whatnot, but when it rebooted nothing had changed. Tried three times, same deal. Figure I should install a ROM via the SD card instead.
Found this forum and a relatively simple/safe guide :
I'm using the guide here : How to flash a perfect ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257731
The Rom is MIUI.
However, I'm only on step 2 : Format data. (Formatting /system was fine)
Clockworkmod says Formatting /data for about 5 minutes, then : Error formatting /data.
Help!
A big thanks in advance.

Sorry, cheers, just posted there.

meh, I'll help you anyway.
reboot in recovery (poweroff [battery pull if necessary], hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER [or at least that's what it is in the Deisre - now you see why you gotta post in the right section] and then use VOLUME buttons to navigate to RECOVERY and then press POWER to select
do a full wipe (if you can), then download and flash cyanogenmod since I know for a FACT it will work. Again just make sure you download it for Desire S not Desire

I tried installing MIUI but it gave an error, now I'm mid-restore, hoping my backup went ok.
Is this the correct cyanogenmod? : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240177
I'll give it a try if this restore actually works and I haven't killed the phone somehow.
Cheers again.

yeah it must be, there's no way you killed your phone, the only way to do so is if you interrupted a radio or hboot flash or RUU. it's usually about having to format the entire phone and then reflash a stable ROM.
the reason why MIUI didn't boot (I'm guessing) is did you download the Data2EXT version? if yes you need to partition your sd-card with an ext partition (warning: this erases all your files). and if you didn't then I have no clue.

[GUIDE]How to unbrick your Defy and solve other bugs

So your Defy is bricked. It's really hard to brick a Defy or a Defy+ due to locked bootloader, so you can't really brick it but you can get it in state of not booting. In this simple guide i will show you how to unbrick Defy and fix some common errors!
Lets get started!
How to unbrick your Defy
What do you need!
You need the following:
Motorola Defy
RSD Lite (download here: http://goo.gl/KRSRp
SBF (i reccomend 2.2 CEE Froyo) (download here: http://goo.gl/Jhz84) (for other SBFs use this link: http://goo.gl/dYQTl )
USB Cable
Charged battery (at least 50%)
Motorola USB Drivers (download here: http://goo.gl/bWg1M )
Download and install USB Drivers
Download and install RSD Lite
Turn off your phone
Go into bootloader by pressing Power button and Vol+ button
Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable
Make sure everything is OK
Locate downloaded SBF. In popup dialog press Uncompress and start flashing
If you get " Please manually power up this phone " in RSD Lite pull battery out > put your battery back > reboot into stock recovery by holding Power button and Vol- button > Choose Wipe data/cache > Choose Reboot system now
That's it, you unbricked your Defy!
How to repair damaged Dalvik or cache
Use the same method for unbricking your Defy. If you still have problems...do the same procedure again.
How to fix empty battery
If your battery is so empty that you can't even charge it, there are 2 options
Option 1. (McGyver method)
Get a USB cable, cut the off the B plug (the one that plugs into the device) and strip away the shielding, revealing the 4 individual wires inside: White, Green, Red and Black. Red is +5V DC and Black is ground. strip a few (1-2) mm's off each and gently push them into the + and - slots on the battery. Apply some tape to keep them in place, but don't cover the other connectors. Now plug the battery back in, a tight fit, but possible if you've peeled back the shielding and the white and green wires so that only Black and Red are actually being crammed in there with the battery
It should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Red goes to the + terminal,Black goes to the - terminal
Plug the business end of the newly modded usb cable into your computer.
That's it, your Defy should be alive now
McGyver method found at this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
I was lazy to write the method by my words...so i just copied from that thread....because he wrote it so well
If original author has problems with copyrights, he can PM me and we will sort it out.
Option 2.
Connect Defy to PC via USB cable. Make sure that your PC is powered on. LED in the top left-hand corner should be white coloured. Leave the Defy overnight to charge. In the morning it should be charged a little bit to charge it via normal method
I have not tested McGyver method, but option 2 worked for me (happened to me once)
This is the end of this tutorial. I hope i helped!

bricked MB526 BL7 no recovery available
Hello, I try to give as much information as possible so please bear with me.
MB526 with BL7 was working perfectly with the quarx nightly 20121018+update v3 but of course I installed the v4 update. What a friend and I figured is that there is a problem when flashing the 2ndboot updates with your power plug still plugged in, this is what I totally forgot about on the v4 update. I wiped the cache and dalvik before AND after the update but was stuck the bootloop. Now I had just made a CWM backup two weeks ago but when restoring I got an error message concerning the system folder. Still in bootloop on the splah M logo. I remember there was something about an older custom ROM and the recovery I used that didnt work so I figured I should start from the SBF.
Using RSDlite 5.7 on a winXP machine, I tried to flash the way I am used to flash brand new MB526 with BL7: (did that for a few friends and the girl)
1. DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf
2. DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf
but the plan was overthrown by my phone. It flashed through the whole process but was stuck at the the "please manually power up this phone"-screen in RSDlite, the phone was connected but at the splash screen. Battery out, the PASS would only appear in RSD if I boot directly into bootloader again. Otherwise this splash screen makes my mad. It doesnt boot.
I tried to flash the alternative, chinese, root ROM for BL7; samesame, but different.
Downloaded RSDlite 6.14, Mdriver 5.9 on a win7 machine, used about all the BL7 ROMs I could find on the site: sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/ The last one being the [Retail British] sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz

:crying:
Now I cannot boot into the motorola recovery. Theres just the background picture but no menu. As far as I know, flashing an SBF is all that I can do. Anyone has got an idea, which ROM to try or what else to do ?
Thanks in advance

Flash the sbf again.
If you encounter please manually power up the phone unplug the device from PC, reboot into stock recovery and wipe data/factory reset. After that reboot

thank you. stock recovery. there is no stock recovery. MB526. BL7. Just the droid and a triangle with the "!" inside the triangle if I try to boot into stock recovery. I remember having this problem with my hannspad and there was a flashable ROM with just the stock recovery. Is there something comparable for the defy? only the recovery or is the BL7 the problem here?

That is Stock recovery (droid and yellow triangle) .Try pressing Vol Up and Vol Down simultaneously to get the menu. If that doesn't work TAP in the lower right hand corner of the screen to get the menu. Tap around a bit to get the right spot.
The newer stock recovery works off touch screen instead of the rocker buttons.

Thank you VERY much. I spent too much time with CWM it appears. I dont remember having used the stock recovery once. I thought BL7 was my enemy with that screen. My phone must feel like its been gangbangraped now with all the different ROMS I have flash upon it. Thanks again, quarx build 20121018+v4 running. Am creating a backup right now.

When I connect to pc (battery empty) it charges white led then boots up hangs on motorola logo for sometime then shutsdown to white led again, is that normal?
