[Q] Wrong Google apps causing trouble

I recently installed the nordic 2.2.2 fixed sbf and afterwards the custom rom S.Froyo NORDIC edition. Thing is that the market wasn't working so I tried flashing gapps from CWM. When I started the phone I could enter pin but all sort of google apps kept FC'ing so I couldn't do anything. That's why I wanted to reflash Nandroid and fixed SBF but I couldn't get into CWM anymore. Now I can only acces stock Android recovery.
I came from Android 2.1.1 (2.51.1), can I just reflash a full SBF of that version again and will my phone be alright then? (I already wiped everything but that didn't work out.)

Yes just flash the 2.51 full sbf i did that. The reason a wipe doesn't work is you have modified apps on the system partition and wiping doesn't touch the system partition. It's protected for a reason lol.

Thank you very much it worked.

[Q] DEFY 2.1 to 2.2 FROYO HELP INDIA

system version is Moto_version.2.59.0.MB525 retail.en.SEA15
Firmware version is 2.1 update 1
Base band version EPU93ST2_u_03.0E.02
Kernel version is 2.6.29
BP flex version is UCAJRDNEMARAB1B50AA025.0R
AP flex version is GAS_ASIA_USAJORDANRTIN15_P003

Can u tell me how to install froyo leaked or official on it.........and does flashing other sbf official affect my phone?????
Please point me the latest clockworkmod for defy
Please guide me in step by step manner...........I know how to root.....How to install sbf using rsd in bootloaser mode.........and open system in recovery both system and clockworkmod...............

have you just tried flash a stock 2.2 sbf via rsd?
i'm not sure i get what you mean...
1.install the driver and rsd
2.down a stock rom,a sbf
3.set your rsd in option ,first come first service,then restart it
4.turn your defy into bootloader mode
5.connect your phone and pc via usb
6.choose your sbf file and flash it.
6.1 after you flash sbf,if you cannot into the system ,you can try do a full wipe
7.now you have a stock 2.2,if you want a froyo leaked ,you need root your phone and do a reboot,then install clockworkmod ,i remeber it's a apk,then you open it after you install it, you can install clockworkmod ,before reboot into cwm,you need turn off usb adb.
can i finish it after i have my diner?

good works!
good works!

Wht s rsd n adb?

Nandrod+fixed sbf method
Flashing SBF directly with RSD lite will not not affect the phone, but affect your wanrraty, no official update in INDIA yet for froyo.
Better you follow nandrod+fixed sbf method.
1. Root your phone with Super one click.
2. Installed System recovery.
3. boot into system recovery and backup your system if you want.
4. Wipe DATA/CACHE/DALVIK CACHE.
5. Restore Nandroid backup of froyo of your choice which should be already copied to SD.
6. Go directly in the Boot loader after system restart by pressing Vol up button during restart.
7. Flashed Fixed SBF of corresponding froyo.
8. Let the system Reboot in foryo.
You can back to eclair any time with this method by direct flashing 2.59 SBF with RSD lite in case your need.

Why? Say that he bricks his phone, then his phone can not be retrieved even by Moto guys as even they use rsdlite so simply speaking they will never be able to figure what actually caused the phone to brick...

rsd lite is a software which is used by Motorola to flash firmware to a phone's memory.
ADB (Android Debug Bridge) is a tool that comes with the Android SDK that allows you to control and interface with your Android device. It is located in the tools folder when you unpack the SDK.

and what happen when we had some faulty part or so and then go to service????
Service people obviously check the software installed!!!!!!!
With locked bootloader there are very very few chances that you will brick DEFY. You have to be more fool than a fool to brick your defy!!!

OKAY
I used rsd ,used adb,used sbf and everything ..........i too bricked once and survived via rsd.........now well versed in these techs

No signal problem after froyo update....
I followed all instructions perfectly and got 2.2.2 uk stock rom working with its fixed sbf but i cannot get 2g network signal, but wen the restore to my original eclair firmware, I get full signal..
Please help me guys....

after flashing 2.2 put this file in sd card and flash it through recovery
http://www.mediafire.com/?k8dsbbq0ceodv86

I would recommend CM7 by Quarx
Much more faster than moto 2.2

z4root is not working for rooting, is it? mine is bought from India with the 2.59.0 update already given. the z4root app crashes after showing "acquiring root shell". and i've tried many times (even after rebooting), but the same thing happens. and any ideas when froyo will be out here officially? the motorola forum says late Q2 in Asia Pacific regions.

yay! SuperOneClick 1.7 does the trick. phone rooted. i hope it can be unrooted when needed.

step 3: i guess after installing system recovery we can boot into system recovery, but how can we do that? And backup our system-> can you provide some more info on this?
step 4: Wipe DATA/CACHE/DALVIK CACHE is this the same thing we do while booting into the special boot menu while pressing the volume downbutton?
step 5: Please link any of the good nandroid back up file
step 6: when i have to do this? after restoring during the first restart?
step 7: Flashed Fixed SBF of corresponding froyo. link?
Thanks in advance for your effort!

You can get these all steps in sticky thread **** FAQ | Guides |Tutorials ****.
Anyway below are the steps with links:
1. Root With SuperOneclick (Reboot Required after this)
2. Download Tenfar recovery apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=467632
3. Install this APK (save on your card and use browser to install) and open it and and click on Install Recovery system, will ask you superuser request, click allow. Wait till it installed.
4. Click Recovery Boot.
5. System will reboot into recovery.
6. Now with volume up/down buttons move to backup and restore.
7. Click power button to get into back and restore
8. Get into backup option in similar manner to backup your system.
9. It will start backing your files and after completing task return to menu.
10. Now back to your main menu and enter in click on Wipe data /factory reset and click yes, similary wipe cache partition.
11. Go to advance and click on clear dalvik cache (very imp from my point).
12. Now go back and click on backup and restore and restore your Nandroid backup (save your downloaded nandroid back in sdcard\goapkrev\backup before entering recovery)
13. After restoring backup click reboot the system, make sure that you press vol up immediately after pressing power button it, otherwise you will be in bootloop. Remove battery if necessary (don’t think you will need this)
14. This will make defy to boot in bootloader.
15. Now flash fixed sbf froyo with RSDLite. Let it complete the process, will take hardly 2 min. to write fixed system and will boot automatically
16. And you will be in Froyo (first will take a time to create dalvic cache)
Make sure that you have Motorola driver installed for your defy.
I am using 3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip (http://m.cfa.aero/nand/3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip) and 3.4.2_177-Fixed.NORDIC_DEBLUR.sbf (http://m.cfa.aero/fsbf/3.4.2_177-Fixed.NORDIC_DEBLUR.sbf) fixed sbf file which I think are latest.
Original file for 2.59 is at http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy from India section.
This is also helpful when you plan to move CM7.
Cheers…Happy flashing

Defy Wont go past Moto Logo

Hi Folks,
I am privileged to be part of this great community.
I have a issue here. Just yesterday installed CM7 on my defy..
Everything was fine.
Tried [MOD]720p record and play for Gingerbread Stock Roms
tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154215
installed and ran 2nd-init from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233
When I Launched custom recovery the phone got stuck at the Red Moto Logo screen
Till now tried many things
1) Since I am to access the vanila custom recovery I tried Wipe data/ factory rest.
Result: STuck at moto logo
2) Since boot loader is also accessible Tried to flash SBF through RSD LITE.
Result: After flashing the result is still same. Stuck at Moto Logo
Please help me on this issue as I have gone through the forum and couldn't find any solution
Will this solve my issue or is there any other way

[SBF] OFFICIAL RE-RELEASE | Android Froyo 2.2.2 SOUTH EAST ASIA + INDIA [RE-RELEASE!]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093352
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674

Any help here would be appreciated....

go to stock recovery and wipe data and cache..and then flash indian sbf

I can try that but the problem is even though I have wiped data and cleared cache earlier there has been no change.
It is as if the old settings are still there and is not allowing the phone to start.
I think I can only flash with a full SBF right....
I have my nandroid backup. Would that be helpfull anyway.
Thaknks

Just read this thread so I am not sure if I can flash with full Indian SBF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152377
I earlier installed Nordic froyo + CM7 (followed as it is in the guide and FAQ)

tat thread is for leaked gingerbread only! u can downgrade from CM7 i guess..coz kernel is based on froyo nordic 179
wipe everything..including data.partition and all..and then try...should work..report back..

1.wipe data and cache from stock recovery
2.bootloader -> flash full nordic since this one worked for you earlier (make sure the process is finished)
3. enjoy your defy!
edit: yes, arpith.fbi is right, CM7 uses froyo kernel so no problem at "downgrade".

My doubt is will I should make sure it works this time otherwise I may even loose the boot loader and recovery if I screw up anything.
How will flashing a new Full Indian froyo sbf (Planning to flash the OFFICIAL RE-RELEASE! 3.4.3-36-1.7 ) work since I have many times tried clearing cache, data and partition and still it does not go past the boot screen.

Yes..Flashed with full Indian SBF successfully and then proceeded to MIUI and installed the Beta 1.7.8 version which seems stable as of now.
Thanks for every one who chipped in

Just a suggestion:
Install Zeam Launcher....it moves incredible fast with MIUI

Sure, Thanks. I will give it a try.
I am first trying to get hold of the stock launcher. Even it is beautifull.

Maybe you didn't set the default bootmode to 2nd init.
Go to 2ndinit bootmenu and set default bootmode to 2nd init

Firmware Issues

Howdy!
I am in the UK on Vodafone, and was running CM7. This was installed over the UK Froyo update supplied via the Motorola Update tool.
All was well, until my phone randomly went off. When I turned it on there was nothing but fleeting glimpses of the CM7 loading screen (as if the screen was flickering on and off).
The only way that I could get the phone working again was to follow this procedure found in Zephyrot's Defy Beginner's Guide:
Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom: aha! We have a issue here!, latest Stock Gingerbread full SBFs comes with a Version 5 of the CG, meaning until not long ago you were pretty much screwed. But wait, there is hope! A one kind Éclair has been found in China Defys that comes with Version 5 CG!.
How to fix it:
Download this SBF and Flash it
Root your Phone
Download 2nd Init 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.
This leaves me with a working version of Froyo. I did not install a full Gingerbread.sbf previously, and the backup that I made before installing CM7 leaves me without anything happening also.
What I would like to know is how to get back on to CM7 if possible? If I try and flash any .sbf the phone goes dead and I have to start again with the process above. If I install 2nd Init/clockworkmod on the Froyo that I can get to work as a result of the above process the phone goes into a boot loop and I can't get into stock recovery or anything, so end up having to go back through the process again. Does anyone have any ideas, or am I stuck forever now?
Edit - just finished restoring it for the 50th time and wanted to add that the version that I can get to work is
Moto_Version34.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.CEE
Firmware Version: 2.2.2
Build Number JOREM_U3_3.4.2_179-2

You need to go into stock recovery (power + down I think) next press both volume keys. Wipe cache and data. Next reboot into motorola flash tools and install a fixed sbf of a froyo ROM. Next install CM7 if you want. You can find/make the fixed sbf in the beginners guide.
If you install CM first wipe everything in custom recovery.
Sent from my MB525

I've done that and no luck, sometimes the phone has booted up and frozen on the red M, other times it has been totally unresponsive. The only Froyo ROM that I can get to respond is the fixed one linked in the guide, which won't let me install custom recovery. I'll try again with some different fixed ROMS tonight. Thanks

when does this happen? When you install froyo or CM7
Sent from my MB525

It seems like you can't downgrade that easy. The fixed sbf removes the system files. You need to install a nand backup first. But you can't install cwm to install a nand without root access. Check the page of the ginger you installed. I think it can by now. Also check CM7 page as a member seemed to can use stock recovery.
Sentrestore from my MB525

I'll do some more searching when I get to my laptop with everything on. Essentially the only version of Froyo that I can install won't let me run CWM (it installs with no problems, I can root the phone without any issues). It just gets stuck in a boot loop as soon as I try to restart the phone. I can't get into stock or custom recovery at this point to wipe data/cache.
I tried with a nand backup and fixed sbf, but will try some different combinations. I still have my initial nand backup from before I started flashing anything. I'll do some more rooting around later on. I suppose I have a working phone for now, just not how I would like it!
Thanks

[Q] Defy stuck on Google logo wont go past it. Please help

So i installed CM 7.1 i think from rom manager but it wouldn't go past the boot logo with the skating droid. so i took battery out and went to recovery mode and i think i accidentally restored one of my Motorola Droid data and now my phone wont go past the Google CM boot logo i think I'm screwed any suggestions? please help. i guess I'm a noob and sorry if there was something similar to this posted already i just can't find the answer to my problem thank you.

2nd init boot-loader
was running perfect until i accidentally restore the wrong data
oh and yes I've tried data wipe not working

Do you happen to have a nandroid backup of your stock rom you've had before ?
A nandroid backup is what you should have created using CWM recovery. Just restore it with CWM.
You don't have a nandroid backup ?
Flash the full SBF of your original stock rom (the one you had before flashing cm7). This should be a 2.2 Froyo whatever rom. Connect defy to pc, open rsd lite, start the phone and enter the bootloader and flash the sbf using rsd lite.
Have you installed Froyo (2.2) before going to Cm7? If not (you still had Eclair 2.1) then this is the problem.
However, get 2.2 on that phone and flash cm7 again following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447
Instructions for some of these steps can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
Also, be patient! When the phone boots for the first time after a flash that may take a while!

Try wiping data cache partition and Dalvik cache from the custom recovery..
