[Q] Please Help... My Defy is stuck on android logo. - Defy General

I've rooted yesterday my defy... insalled 3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC...
everything was ok... installed a few apps..but the market wasn't working all that well ( it took a loot of time and couldn't connect most of the times) so i've decided to install CM7... whiped the caches and partition..installed cm7 rc0 and google apps from recovery boot... rebooted...and entered into CM7...
I've entered again into the boot menu to set the default method of boot 2nd Init but after i've done that the phone got stuck on the android logo... took out the battery..tryed again..same thing... tryed to enter into recovery boot but an android with an ! sign appeared and couldn't go in...
I decided to go back to 3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC so i've managed to enter into bootloader and flashed the phone with 3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC... but when RSD Lite finished and the status was: please power you phone manually the booting was still stuck on the android logo... tryed to power down... but nothing... took the battery off and powered the phone again.. and the same thing: STUCK ON ANDROID LOGO!
Also tryed to flash to the 2.2.1 original stock rom... but the same thing happened...
What can I do?
ps: now i'm trying to flash 3.4.2-179-2 DEBLUR CEE

You should of made default as normal not 2ndinit try to flash with Nordic When you see the little android press both up and down vol together to get stock recovery and factory reset and then try get into bootloader and flash nordic

yes...i found out the trick with the vol. up and down... i was a little confused when i saw the exclamation sign (!)...i tought recovery doesn't work... i managed to flash the nordic back and installed CM7 after... Thanks

So now click on normal boot instead of 2nd init boot as default should be sweet

vol up and down key together did it Thanks a log

need assistance ---defy just rebooting and rebooting after 2ndinit install
need assistance ---defy just rebooting and rebooting
i installed the rom amanger premium
after that i installed the 2ndInit from market for android and installed the latest version .....and after that i uncheck the usb debugging and restarted the defy
since then its auto rebooting from logo to black screen and back to logo ....
please help me i am new to this and really pissed off .......

I've faced a related problem with the custom recovery. The simplest way is to flash an eclair SBF and then upgrade to Froyo. Just flash the 2.34.0 Eclair an than restore your nandroid. I'm not sure what will happen with your personal data, because I just wiped it from the recovery and then used Titanium Backup and MyBackup to roll it back. Good luck!
Ive managed to get the boot menu ( black thing with white text) back, so hopefully theres a chance to re-load the sbf file, and it is recognised by a P.C when in that mode.
However I dont have access to my main p.c at the moment, so it will have to wait, and i will have to make do with my old sony ericsson phone for the time being.
Now im back, and at home, wiht my own P.C ive managed to solve the issue via the boot/flash menu screen.
I pulled hte battery and turned the phone on holding the volume up button, then plugged it into my P.C, where it recognised the phone.
i was then able to flash the nordic SBF file, and it works, again
So i used clockwork mod recovery to check that i could go back if needed and it worked
then oi re-flashed the nordic SBF, re-rooted the phone, installed 2ndinit, and then used the recovery to load cm7.zip.
now all is well, and im running CM7

[Q] Endless Boot (trapped with HTC logo)

Have roooted my phone with unrevoked and reboot my phone.
Installed ROM MANAGER and install Clockwork recovery and rebooted my phone.
Everything works great.
Starting to make a backup of my current rom, rebooted and my backup started and untill "Backup complete" and rebooted my phone again.
And then... I am trapped with the HTC Logo.
And I pushed down vol - + power on... but i cant come into recovery menu.
It feels like i have bricked my phone... but i have done this serveral times and it haved worked everytime?! =/
What should I do next? =( Any tips and tricks?
Sorry for my english...
Edit: My problem is now solved. I had my phone turned of over the night with my battery away.
And now i can access my recovery menu! *wiiie* I also find out that my volume down button do not work correclty. But any who, my problem is now solved

Stuck at Red Motorola Logo

Ok, so I have a Defy...was on stock software, I rooted it and installed 2ndInit last night and installed MIUI. Everything was going peachy...decided to install 2ndInit again and when I went to reboot it wouldn't get past the Motorola logo. So then I went into stock recovery wiped everything and cache and still stuck.
Is there a way to get back to the stock froyo Blur and start fresh?
Ok so since people are viewing and not replying lol, I tried to download RSD and then the sbf for the T-Mo US 2.2.1 and it detects my phone but I can't click the start button...any ideas?
**Edit...found how to get the start button to work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001145&highlight=rsd+start **
**Edit 2...finally got it to boot and back into business..wow that was nerve racking**

I don't think the guy has 2nd-init installed properly. Or the rooting was not done correctly. He must go into the stock recovery to perform the wipe/clear before he can proceed on flashing another sbf. I would suggest the OP to flash any froyo 2.2.2 then.
Rooting and CWM could easily get ruin if one doesn't install it properly. Next time please confirmed root is working by installing apps that required root access before attempting installing CWM. Suggesting 2nd-init v1.9 is good to start with as it fairly stable which also come build-in custom recovery.
he posted that he can not enter stock recovery. This is caused (probably) by a bad sbf flash. I would try flashing the sbf you said that you actually got to boot. A properly flashed sbf will give you stock recovery. Pull battery for 30 seconds re insert it, then hold vol- and power the phone on. Continue to hold vol- for 5 seconds or so. If you insert your battery and the phone automatically starts to boot then it is too late and you should have already been holding down vol- in which case you would want to press and continue to hold vol- prior to inserting the battery.

any ideas ppl ??
I have seen in the past, people who report successful sbf flashing with rsd but still no boot or recovery. None that I tried or anyone else tried to help ever got their phones to boot. You are in a bootloop after flashing a sbf because you need to wipe in stock recovery, BUT you don't have stock recovery! There is only so much that you can do without having recovery when you are in bootloop. Not to rain on your parade but I honestly believe it is some sort of hardware issue. If RSD reports that all CG md5 checksum's match after it flashes then you should have stock recovery. But you don't????? I think it is hardware
I'm begining to start thinking your rsdlite might be the root cause here.
You might need to try another PC to flash or trying another rsdlite version.
Were you flashing this in sbf format??
i d/l 2.3.3 85 and 112 with fix , same all freez on moto logo

I thought of this too however his situation isn't the first of its kind and other people with the same problem tried multiple combo's of RSD ver #s and different pc's with no success. Plus I would think if it were RSD problem it wouldn't reports a successful flash and then verify the flashed CG md5's. But I say definitely give it a shot on multiple different computers with multiple OS's! When I was having problems with RSD I started using sbf_flash in linux with GREAT success. Unfortunately this never helped anyone else with this problem! But anything is worth a shot.

Its not seem to be h/w problem, as its a brand new phone from box....
But i took phone home, gonna install new rsd and will try on other pc.

As i read more ppl with same problem.
I will post later details of what i hD in the phone before, maybe someone can identify the original region and sfb phone came with
o.k
i got some progress...
i installed on a reformated laptop , new rsd 5.5
installed drivers , and tested flashing the orange 112 version.
phone is powered up after flash and goes to recovery .
i then wiped all and wait , phone is powered up.
but after about 10-20 secs it reboots.
i then wiped again , and flashed nordic 2.2.2 version.
phone is powered up , also recovery and wipe.
phone kkep rebooting after few secs from full turn on.
i can access menu .
i guess this is better then not booting and no recovery.
what should i try now to fix the reboots ?
o.k
last replay
fixed
flashed this sbf from this post

thx for all help
hmm. just seems weird that RSD would flash successful, verify CG md5s as "match" after flashing and still be the cause of the problem. I guess stranger things have happened! CRAPPY MOTOROLA SOFTWARE

How to fix it:
Download this SBF and Flash it
Root your Phone
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery
Download and install this Nandroid Backup
Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache
After wiping, turn off your phone
Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode
Flash this Fixed SBF
Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.
You WONT be able to install full SBFs of any Éclair or Froyo since these Androids have lower CG Versions.
**NOTE*: I just rephrased the original post since it can be a bit confusing, it is linked as source below.
**NOTE2**: If you are using a non-Chinese defy, DO NOT USE THE CAMERA FLASH while on the Chinese rom, it WILL kill your LED.

How to Install CM7 after Installing a Full Gingerbread SBF: Ok, first of all do all the steps above on "Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom"
Root your Defy (Using SuperOneClick 1.7 and not 1.9).
Install SystemRecovery from GoAPK. If you install 2nd init, you'll just get into a boot loop and have to start over.
Reboot to recovery. Do a factory wipe, then do the cache wipe.
Install CM7 .Zip and then gapps zip file. DO NOT wipe again, you'll just go back to 2.2.2 CEE (if you accidentally do this, you can pick up again from step 3).
profit!
thx
Well, after long play with it.... Something is realy weird!
No metter what rom im trying to flash, orher then the jordan one that worked, both 2.3.3 i try before now give me black screen, the 2.3.4 give me phone restart every 10 secs. And i cant seem to install cwm without hqving boot loops . ...
Ideas?
Delete all drivers and redownload and install then uninstall RSD Lite and reinstall to 4.9 ( Google it) then reboot your pc.. dont connect your defy yet do it later as its says in my little guide
then open RSD Lite and boot your defy to bootloader (Power + vol up) dont Connect defy yet.
choose nordic 2.2.2 in to RSD Lite then connect your Defy and let it install drivers.. then Press Start...
that worked for me wen i got lost and no one told me what to do soo i indprovise

Defy+ reboot and stuck on M logo after changing wallpaper (lol) ..also, now bricked

Hi guys,i ve been looking for thread with this problem specific for MB526, but i have not found any, so i created new.
I had to flash stock sbf, because i wanted to send my phone to servis (its still in warranty). After few days i changed wallpaper which was has high resolution, and mobile become immediately frozen and reboots , and stuck on M logo. After that i tried to reflash the same sbf 3 times, but still same problem, booting stuck on M logo. I think its nessesary to wipe all data , cache - do factory reset. But there´s no way to do this because phone wont boot up, and i have no bootmenu , or anything installed. Also everything got much worse when i tried reflash phone with another sbf, and RSD wrote that flashing passed. Now theres no M boot logo,no recovery... theres nothing after powering up, and now i cant flash nor the stock sbf, which worked at the begining :/.. But RDS is still showing OMAP3630. What can i do now ? :/ Sorry for bad english.
hold volume down button then press the power button. At the android with exclamation mark screen, press both volume buttons at once and then you should be in stock recovery..where the full wipe should be done (before sbf flashing...).
Let's hope that you did not empty your battery... If you did, I don't recommended the McGuyver method: get a pin wallcharger or a friend's battery.
And lastly, go easy on sbf flashing.. Defy is almost impossible to brick [thank you locked bootloader] but sbd flashing can lock you in an undowngradable state...
