[Q] Need Help for Upgrading my Defy

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

Can you tell me how to wipe the phone?
I got stuck when i press volume down button it appears a little android

To enter stock recovery start your phone by pressing Vol Down + Power. Then when the android icon with the exclamation mark appears press the right bottom of your screen (if you are on Eclair) or press both Vol Up + Vol Down buttons if you are on Froyo. Then for navigation use volume buttons and for selection/enter use the power button.

Still don't work i root with ginger break,then i flash with RSD Lite when the phone restart i press vol down button i do wipe data/factory reset ,i reboot the phone and nothing

I'm not sure if I got it right but you are saying that you have rooted it with gingerbreak. If I'm not wrong you are/were for the moment on Eclair of Froyo so you do not need to use a tool that is useful to achieve root on Gingebread. You must install Gingerbread first then root it.
I must admit that I haven't tried this ROM (there were so many bugs reported on the ROM thread so I decided I'll stay on latest CM7 beta) but you can try it on your phone using one of the next methods:
A) By applying a nandroid backup and then flashing a fixed SBF (by doing so you'll keep you downgradability)
- install ClockworkMOD recovery
- wipe cache, data, dalvik cache
- install the nandroid
- reboot phone in bootloader
- apply fixed SBF
B) By applying a full SBF
- reboot in stock recovery
- wipe data, cache....
- reboot in bootloader
- flash full SBF
Then you can root it with Gingerbreak.
Sincerely I strongly recommend you to install a more stable ROM like the Nordic one or the official French (both based on Android 2.2.2).
Hope it helps. It you'd like I can give you more details via private messages in Romanian.

defy stop working..

Today I bought the Motorola defy it and i flash version of CyanogenMod 7 (Android 2.3.3 Newest RC0 and noticed that the google apps is missing so I installed it again as suddenly guide device will not turn on me .. I tried everything I tried other roms nothing worked any Rom suddenly the same problem
The problem is that after the Motorola icon is stuck on loading ANDROID forever .. I tried to do HARD RESET but I get the screen with the little Android and presses down on the right side nothing happens ..
Request Help ..

If u have 2.2 installed press volume down+up together....When u see Android Logo..
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

remove ur battery.
then, u must turn on ur phone by pressing power button, and volume down. hold those two button, till u find android puppet logo, and a triangle.
if previously u run eclair ---> touch the bottom screen, choose wipe data/ factory reset, and choose wipe cache. (navigation entirely using touch screen)
if previously u run froyo ---> press vol up and vol down together, choose wipe data/ factory reset, and choose wipe cache (the navigation is using vol key, to choose using power button)
after u wipe all data and cache, press REBOOT system.
but.... IMMEDIATELY after u press REBOOT, u must press vol up buttong and HOLD for around 6 seconds and then release.
after that, ur screen will show boatloader mode, and u can flash it again using FULL SBF froyo for fresh one.
good luck

Help Please, Phone stuck on Red M Logo.

I have to firstly say I am a complete noob, infact, the Defy is my first smartphone.
So far i have......
Rooted Phone
Performed a nandroid backup
Installed 2nd init
Installed CM7
Everything was going so well until i noticed there were no google apps. I installed gapps zip file after re installing recover (to install the zip file from boot menu). Ever since then, my phone wont make it past the red Motorola logo. I cant even get back into the boot menu?
Please Help

If you have 2nd Init installed , press Vol Down whenthe blue LED blinks during startup.
If that fails, hold the Vol Down button and then power on your cell, you'll enter default recovery. Clear cache/data and start again.
Also, if you are using CM7 RC1 or above, there should be no need to install gapps.zip separately.

Thanks for the reply mate.
Phone wont get to blue light before freeze. RE the vol down power on menu, all i get is an android dude with a triangle with an Exclamation point in it?

sorry i should have written this in my first reply, when you see the exclamation point, press Vol Up + vol down TOGETHER, and you'll see the recovery menu.

at this point press vol up and down at the same time..and wipe

The only options i get on there are.....
Reboot system now
Apply sdcard:update.zip
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition.
Tried them all and no luck

try this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1147967
in the 4th post, you can try that and flash it again

Never ending problems mate. Cant get RSD lite to work.
Keep getting.....
"failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. unable to retrieve initialization values from INI file"
Running as administrator and have tried 2 different SFB files.
Im giving up all hope, been reading forums all day and my eyes are starting to hurt.

I installed CM7 RC1 and market etc werent there.

Don't give up hope yet, people have recovered their Defy from even worse conditions. All this could be an outcome of a chain of mistakes so lets stat from scratch.
1. Is your battery charged? Does it show charging LED when plugged in wall charger while turned OFF ?
2. Which OS do you have? also 64bit or 32?
3. Which Motorola Driver and RSDLite version do you have?
4. Where did you download the SBF files from? paste the link to that thread.
5. How are you flashing the SBF? (what steps do you take)
Also, try this:
Pull out the battery, Hold Defy in your one hand and press Vol Up+Down+Power button all together. Now, quickly insert the battery with the other hand keeping those buttons pressed and you will be taken to stock recovery.
Only Wipe data and wipe cache, do not install update.zip or anything else.
Once done restart the cell and let us know what happens.

thats a common problem related to the version of RSDlite..
use 5.3.1 and try to flash again..
All the best

Got it sorted at last. Just needed RSD Lite 4.9.
Still had issues after, but managed to sort em out by installing CM7 then Gapps, rebooting then factory resetting data and cache.
A long struggle, but got there in the end.
Many thanks to everyone who helped me out, I am so grateful.

in the future... please read all the tutorials and be prepared for anything you are going to do on your phone.
1. Turn off your phone
2. Go to recovery (hold Power + Vol-)
3. When the android triangle shows up pres Vol+ and Vol- buttons at the same time
4. Wipe data
5. Wipe cache
6. Reboot your phone and go to bootloader (Power + Vol+)
7. Flash your SBF via RSDlite
That`s the whole procedure how to downgrade to Froyo. I think that you forgot to do some of these steps but in my opinion go again from the beginning.
EDIT: Seems I`m 2 min`s too late

yeah thats all rite , but now what should i do ? i flashed it 2-3 times. but i ain't getting any kind of recovery . its just struck on boot screen. tell me how would i wipe cache when there is now recovery coming out.?
