Please Help Me - Defy General

Hi there I am new to the defy. I bought it locked so I unlocked it. Next thing I did was Debrand it by flashing firmware the latest t-mobile flash. I now have moo working Market. Everytime I try to download an app is says download paused. So I though ok let's try a factory reset. Only problem is when I press erase everything it does not work does absoluly nothing.
Forgive me for being stupid I have no idea about flashing rooting.
Thanks

Unchecked Data Saver...from settings ur download from market will work....
Sent from my Toilet using Motorola DEFY...

still does not work at all. i have tried all that already it keeps saying download paused and the market is still on original not updated
thanks

also des anyone know how i would restore my phone as i hit restore under privacy settings and does nothing thanks

Enter stock recovery. Reboot phone, then hold power button plus vol. Down. Then push vol up and down at the same time. Choose wipe data.then power to select. Then reboot
Sorry, for restore, you either have nandroid or titanium . Instead of booting into stock recovery, go to cwm.

ok how would i do that? i just flashed it. i have no recovory or backup options and when i try to restore it wont let me. is there any way i can flash irt back to original retial settings as i would prefer 2.1 tbh thanks

uncheck the "data saver" option in settings and wait for few seconds..if download doesnt start then open market and the download will start..
i m sure this will work...try this..

hi yes i have already tried this
if i cannot do this i would like to reset to factory settings or downgrade to 2.1 thanks

i had the same problem and that trick worked..well if nothing works then its better to flash ROM again.
or else do one thing..uncheck data saver then open market....then go to downloads..if u have any app updates then do tat..if the download starts, the other paused download will also resume at the same time..OR else try to download anything from the market..
remember do this with data saver unchecked!!
hope it works

i dont know exactly the problem but it could be the baseband problem. or the signal.
i suggest first root ur phone, and after that install this baseband switcher. switch the band to ur country, and try again the market

try using wifi to download and see if you can do that. if still can't, try to go Application > Market and wipe cache/data. if all else fails, root your phone, and flash the new gapps zip file. you can find it in the CM7 Dev folder

Market doesn't work with any ROM

Hey Guys!
My Android Market stopped work after update to UK 3.4.2-117
When I was with FW2.21. It's OK.
I already tried to Clean Data, Cache... another Google Account... with 3G and WiFi, but nothing...
When I trying to download anything from Market... It's write "start downloading..." Then dissapear and nothing...
Sorry about my english...
Thanks a lot!
This happens to me sometimes too. When it starts downloading, go back into the app info screen and watch the progress bar.
I tried, but the progress bar show me "starts downloading" then dissapear and appear after 1 second in the same screen, for example I'm getting Angry Birds -> Install -> OK -> Download screen with progress bar -> dissapear before download -> appear "Angry Birds Free" not installed... If I install another program from my SD It's appear normally "Installed".
Thanks!
I have the same problem with the market. Help plase.
Up!
The problem persists
I got that, too, some time ago with my x10 mini. I needed to wipe the market data and created a new google mail account, though its a known googlebug and there its no 100% working fix for that.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
starting to have this problem takes about 5-7 tries to get something to download and install off the market going to see if wiping the market app data will help
I'm having the same problem with downloading from the Market since flashing to 3.4.2. On top of that the earpiece on my defy has just stopped working so I need to send it in for repair!
Please help!
Could one of the experts take pity on us and help us find out what's causing this?
Even if I reflash the SBF using RSD Lite it doesn't fix the problem.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
Fixed it!
I got it working again by doing a factory reset from recovery and then when setting up the google account I created a new account instead of using my existing account. When I went into the market I was then able to download.
I then did another factory reset and used my old account and I was still able to download things from the market.
Hope this works for the rest of you.
i believe contrem is the best way to sort it out.. otherwise you might need to reflash using "RSD Lite".

I did the recovery, create a new account in google, but the problem still here...
I have the same problem with the market heeeeelp pleaseee!!!
I also have this problem recently. Seems to happen after I setup some email accounts. But removing those email accounts didn't help. Also tried cleaning cache/data etc but that didn't help neither.
I've given up. I can download almost everything anyway (I read Chinese )
I have finally solved by problem. Clearing Market cache is not enough. Have to terminate Market, set locale to English (US), and turn off wifi before restart Market. After the terms and conditions show up, can set locale back to your preference and turn on wifi again.
UHUL! Finally I fixed my market
I entered in the Stock Recovery Mode and Wipe Data. Doing that you will reset your phone.
I'm using Froyo (2.2)
This is the guide to enter Recovery mode
1 - Power off your Phone
2 - Long Press the Volume Down Button, then Press the power button to power on your Phone
3 - When you see the Green Android Robot, press the Volume Down+Up (together) Button
4 - Use menu with the volume up/down and power button to confirm.
Thanks! and Good Luck!

[Q] No internet service but phone works??? Help!

I just flashed Warm ROM after clearing cache and wiping all the stuff I'm suppose to. I can get calls and text messages but when I try to use Google Talk app or any Internet Browser they don't work. I didn't have this problem when I was using Cynagen 7 Nightly ROM....
Whats going on? How can I fix this?

If it is RLS 5, don't fret. Download the adfree app from the market and install it. After installation, initiate the app and select either "revert" for ads or "update hosts" for no ads and then reboot your device. You'll be good to go afterwards. The version that is cooked into RLS 5 has an outdated host file and thus the reason for your crawling internet browsing.

I can't get my internet to work at all unless I turn on WiFi and that' just wont work
I used titanium backup pro to restore my apps after I finished flashing.

I've used several versions of Z, including Warm Z and that should not be occurring, my friend. Internet speeds via 3G is noticeably fast on it. If you have the time, go back into recovery, wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself and then reflash Warm Z. Also, when you first enter into your homescreen and start the setup process, there is a screen that asks if you want mobile & WiFi or just Wifi ONLY. Make sure you select the mobile & wifi option.
I did select both but I will try that again after clearing all the options.
Edit: I had already cleared all the options before as well...everything. Twice.

Okay. Are you, by chance, using amon RA as your recovery? If not, download it from here: http://goo.gl/cgh5e and place it on the root of your SD card. If there is another file called PC36IMG.zip, move that file to a folder. To install amon RA:
Shut down your EVO and then press & hold the volume down button while pressing the power button. When your EVO starts, you will be directed to the Hboot screen where amon RA zip file will be automatically detected and you will be prompted to install it. Follow the prompts to install. Installation will take less than 10 seconds to complete. Afterwards, reboot into recovery.
Go to the WIPE menu and wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card.
Go to the FLASH menu and flash Warm Z and then REBOOT.
Ok I will try that and report back soon with what happens.

Okay. Do this, if you have the time. Download and flash MikZ from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982211
The base files are no different than that of Warm Z. See if your internet browsing experience are identical?

Help!!

Ok i posted this in the Q & A section and Im getting NO luck so i figure Ill post here.
Tonight I decided to try cm7, so I flashed and the gapps, I noticed that all my apps from cm6 were automatically downloading and it was making the phone run so slow so after a while I just decided going back to my Evo elite rom, now no matter what rom I flash I can't install anything from the market! It just keeps saying unsuccessful. I tried downloading from the market website on my pc and the apps installed fine! But I CAN NOT download ANYTHING from the phone! I've tried 3 different roms now all the same result! Anyone know what's going wrong? And how to fix it?? Any help is MUCH appreciated! I also changed sd cards thinking maybe my sd card was corrupt and STILL NOTHING! I just get unsuccessful EVERY time. But If i download from my laptop it goes to my phone and installs fine! IM baffled!!! PLEASE help???
Reflash CM7. When you start the ROM don't enter your email address, skip it. Afterwards make sure you have GAPPS installed and open market. Sign in with your credentials but make sure you uncheck the backup to google options. You should then be able to manually download the apps instead of having it do it automatically for you. Make sure you make a backup with Titanium Backup first. I lost all my 3stars ratings on Angry Birds. I have to play that damn game all over again.
No I did that earlier, but the problem isn't only with cm7 now it's EVERY Rom I flash, I've flashed 4 different roms now and I just can't download ANYTHING from the market on my phone. The only way I can download any apps is going on my laptop,going to the market website and clicking install from there and it will install on m phone. I've NEVER seen this before I not have a clue what happened but it all started after flashing cm7!
Which GAPPS are you using? There are many versions on Rom Manager. Did you download it from ROM manager? Did you download the GAPPS from the CM7 thread? I'm assuming you are flashing the same GAPPS file on your SD card with every ROM install.
I don't need gapps with any other rom just cm7, the other roms I flash are sense so u do t need gapps, it's weird I click a app to download it says your app will start downloading then it just says unsuccessful. I just tried a FIFTH ROM and I STILL can't download any apps
Go to Settings-Applications-All-Market and clear cache and stuff. Try it again and see if that helps.
Also go into recovery and try wiping dalvik cache.
maybe you need to do a full wipe...
wipe everything 3 times...
or
use the mod wipe that cleans everything.. it is listed in dev section, so a search for it.
I was looking at the MIUI thread and found a solution to people who can't download from Market.
"Open the "downloads" app from your homescreen, hit menu, and select download using mobile network to allow."
I don't know if it will apply for the ROM you're using but it's worth a try.
^Think that only works on Miui. I just needs to clear market data and cache I think.
Ive literally tried EVERYTHING guys! You know what worked? I had to make a new google account! If I sign in under the account I just made i can download from the market but if I use my regular account I cant download a thing!! Anyone know how to fix this????
Try changing the password on the account that doesn't work and then try to see if the downloads work. I'm running out of ideas on things you should try but I would bank on that being an issue. I hope.

[Q] Unable to unlock tablet

I did a factory reset and then restored my apps and system settings with Titanium backup. Now I cannot get past the lockscreen. I have set up a 4 digit code, but the tablet says it is wrong. I was fine until I did the restore with Titanium.
In HC after 4 wrong entries it gave you the option to reset the password using your gmail address. But in ICS I get no such option. I am stuck. How can I get past this to get back into the tablet? Do I have to do a complete reinstall and if so, how do I do that when I cannot unlock the tablet?

I installed the leaked ICS over HC 3.21. I updated the leaked version 2 times and ended up with the final leak, which appears to be the same as the official release. The bootloader is stock.
I rooted the tablet and backed up with Titanium backup. Everything was working, except it had some stutters when it would not respond for a few seconds.
When I did the factory reset it seemed file. But some apps were not reinstalled by the Google server backup and the WiFi settings were lost. So I restored the missing apps and system settings with Titanium backup. When I restarted the tablet after the restoration, I could not longer use my 4 digit code to unlock the tablet.
I can get into the recovery menu, but I cannot figure out how to choose the "wipe" option.
There is no option after trying the unlock code to enter my email address as there was for HC.
Let me know if you need some other information. Thanks for your help.

ok kool thanks for the info!
well i dont remember the stock recovery very much...but power button should still be select and vol buttons to navigate.
if you cannot wipe from recovery there is a key sequence to wipe data...
1) Place the rotation lock switch in the up position 2) Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock 3) With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button. 4) Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button. 5) Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen 6) Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
if that still doesnt work...do what u did before and flash the update.zip from the sdcard...
just a word of advice...restoring apps is ok...and system data like wifi passwords...bluetooth pairings etc
but once u get into restoring apps WITH data.,bad things can happen. ive seen it myself and no longer restore any data...just apps and bluetooth pairings..
cheers man!

That's disappointing to hear. I thought that was the advantage of using Titanium backup compared to just installing the apps manually from the market. I will restore more selectively.

Hello, I'm back again. problem with firmware update

So I just recently lost my root I made a thread here it was fixed in a couple days due to you guys . Maybe you can help me with another issue I am currently having.
So let me get started, I really wanted to update my software and since I was rooted I was not able to do it, when I temp unrooted I still was not able to get software update, It was really bothersum so I found a program called "Mobile ODIN Pro" and with that I went to the links below just take out the (DOTCOM).
http://www.sammobile(DOTCOM)/firmwares/
http://www.youtube(DOTCOM)/watch?v=T-KLM2oqSgM
With those links there is only one thing I did not do in that video, He said I need to Wipe data and cache, I did not check mark that because why don't I just factory reset instead? I did select Wipe Dalvik Cache though. Now it seems my phone is a tad laggy, and some of my apps give me that "so and so app has crashed. hit report or ok, So I deleted the apps, and now when I try to redownload the apps it either asks me to delete some stuff first to navigate, so that tells me some of the program is still there but I'm not able to find it, Another issue with that is it says insufficient disck space to download that app even when I have many GIGS of free space...
I'm wondering if I should just do a factory reset re-root my phone start from complete scratch, I would like to be able to used pandora, google chrome, etc etc. Which programs would you guys suggest for me to download to backup my apps/settings for the apps I know are not corrupted? And or if you know of a fix.
Factory reset , wipe caches. 're Odin ..I told you in your other thread what to download and flash . you will use Odin on your pc or mobile Odin on your phone. Now download Mr Robinson's no trip root. From here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975560... download Odin (for pc) from here... http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390275921635705049.. I told you use this method before, because it's stock mb4 (prerooted and doesn't trip your flash counter)
I'm not trying to be hard on you. But you need to know how to do basic things(getting into recovery) before you go messing with your phone......... if you need help you can pm me.
