Just flashed 2.2

I just flashed 2.2 3.4.2_177-005_nordic using rds lite. It was 378MB big .sbf file.
Now, a problem... I cannot clear cache or factory reset after flashing with rds lite. When I boot with pressed volume down, phone enters in recovery mode but I cannot "unhide" because clicking lover right screen do nothing. Do I need to reset and clear cache and is there any other method to do that?

Lower right screen only works for eclair 2.1. For 2.2 you need to press volume up and volume down together when you are on the screen that shows the android logo. This will then get you into the recovery options.
Sent from my MotoDefy.

all u need is to go to d android market and download 2nd int....follow d instruction and am sure ur fone will b perfectly ok

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.

Hi,
I think you should read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798 and check that you have the right version of bootmenu.
Answer n°5 may help you to start over again.
I have been through this a few days ago, it is quite easy but there is a lot of reading.
The most important thing is to read everything so you can understand what you do.

thx for the quick answer i have try step five but when i do that it bring me to a black screen with a white triangle and a ! in it. i really dont know what else to do

hit both volume buttons at same time it will make a menu visable then choose factory reset

also cm7 flashes a new bootloader so you might have to flash reboot into recovery for cm7 then install again

holding both volume button and the power one does not work it bring me to cyanogene boot loop

You have to press them when you are in the stock recovery menu.

but i cant go in the stock recovery menu or i dont know how cause pressing the down buton i still go to the boot loop and if i do power plus down button i get to a triangle with a ! inside it

To enter stock recover do:
Shutdown phone
Start phone by pressing power + volume down (hold both keys for a few seconds)
Once the android with the exclamation mark is displayed push volume up and down at the same time.
Then you're in stock recovery.

that's great man thx, and what to do once im in there?

wipe data and factory reset

it tell me 4 thing
reboot system( do nothing)
apply sd card :update.zip (saying there is nothing like that on my sd)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
i would like to know what to do from this point on cause i got nothing now in my phone

i did the wipe data and factory reset now when i start my phone it stay on the M logo

now reflash cm7

alright i did flash but i put back 2.2.1 in it i wont play with that anymore lol thx

your welcome

[Q] have i bricked my evo?

Ok, I rooted my evo and tried some different roms. Couldn't find what I wanted so I wanted to go back to the one I started with on my first try. Long story short, I reflashed it and now I have a lock screen, but nothing else. Evidently fastboot is on, because I canter in to try anything else. Can't get a menu or anything. Just a bunch of force close notifications and an HTC screen. Please help!!!!

Did you try pulling battery and holding both the lower volume button and power until recovery menu(hboot) comes up?

fastboot is on, so it just boots to lock menu. I can receive a call, though.

Yeah, have you tried going to recovery via boot, wiping caches and rebooting? Or if that fails, wipe caches (and data if flashing a different ROM), reflash your ROM and then reboot?
Did this happen on a nand restore, or a ROM flash?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

it was on a rom flash. I think i forgot to wipe everything before flashing. I cant get into the recovery or boot menu. Fastboot is on, so it just boots up. Unless there is another way besides holding vol down and power button.

You need to go to settings -> applications -> development settings and disable the fast boot option in order to let you phone do a full reboot.
Alternately, pull the battery out. Put the battery in. Hold down volume down while pressing the power button. Select recovery from the HBOOT menu.
Alternately, in the rom you should have an option to factory reset the device, which will wipe user data.
Edit: It may be settings -> applications and then disable the fast boot option. It's been a long time since I was on sense.

thats what im getting at, i cant get into anything except power menu to turn off phone. It will redeive a call, but nothing else. When i unlock, all i get is an htc screen with a picture of the evo and a bunch of force clse notifications. I cant turn off fastboot. Anyone have any other ideas.
I think I'm screwed!!!!!!

deleted cuz im an idiot and didnt see you couldnt get into recovery at all

Pull battery out insert battery power button + volume down. Pulling out the battery stops fastboot from letting it boot up normally. Pulling the battery stops the fastboot being on affect

+1, hence post 2.

Ok, well pulling the battery worked. Now, so I don't have another heartattack. Wipe the cache, wipe the dalvik cache, what else before I flash another Rom? Thank you cookbook much.

turn your phone off. press and hold volume up and volume down + power button (at the same time) then scroll with volume up till you see "recovery" press power button . wait untill u see an android logo, then press power + volume up . a menu will be shown. choose wipe data )by scrolling with volume) then hit power. choose wipe cache then power. choose reboot system now then power

Nexus firmware is not supported by kies you will never be able to connect it to kies . Just wipe cache from recovery don't wipe data.
