[Q] Help!!! Cannot Boot Slide

I rooted my slide months ago and have been installing new roms regularly using Rom manager and manually by booting into recovery.
I just downloaded and installed cyanogens new 6.1.1 release and when I booted the phone I get the usual request for me to allow Google's locations services and I click ok. Then I get touch the android to begin screen and when I touch the android, nothing happens. I did this over and over. just stuck.
So I just figured I would restore my back up via nandroid... I tried to reboot into recovery and pressed Vol down and pwr. I am only getting the choices of
Fastboot
Recovery
Clear Storage
Simlock
I select recovery and I get a triangle with an exclamation point.
And now I am stuck What happened?? More importantly, What do I do to fix this??
Please help ASAP I am very nervous!!

When you go into recovery, aren't you supposed to then hit Vol Up and Power and then wait a bit?

When I prees up then power it just boots into the "touch android to begin " screen that does not work

when you get the exclamation triangle you press vol up + power and then select apply update.zip, then you can restore your nandroid... your only problem here seems to be a bad flash, just wipe and reflash cm6 or restore the nandroid... obviously you are doing something wrong when trying to go into clockwork recovery so dont panic and do it as you did when you flashed the rom man

God Bless you. It's Fixed and restored!!!!! Thanks a ton!!!!

HTC Magic Recovery Wont boot

as the title says the recovery wont boot using rom manager
it will either
1.) reboot loop 3 or 4 time before restarting or
2.) go to a screen with the android ad an exclamation mark in a triangle
i also can not manually boot it into recovery by holding home+ power
any advice is greatly appreciated
ps im a little noobie ish

press the HOME + POWER...
Once you on the "exclamation mark in a triangle" screen press the HOME + POWER key to get the recovery menu. As far I know this means something about the ROM signature not being there or something.. I'm just learning myself, but I have been there before... so you just need to restore the backup image and you should be back to normal. Good luck.
I'm unable to apply a custom ROM myself... everything works but a custom ROM... can't figure it out yet.

Well if you cant get it working reboot phone manyally... lol

You will have to install a new sbf...
For that you need to go to bootloader (Power+volume UP)
Install RSD Lite and flash the new sbf!
It may fix it..
EDIT!!
Try Power and Volum Down and if you see an android with a yeallow triangle, Press the buttons as mentioned in the post below and you'll go to stock recovery.

Try volume up and down really fast. Not touching bottom corner. I don't even have my Defy yet but I'm sure I read this!
Sent from my Blade using XDA Premium App

fast response, ill try that im not sure if it replaces the boot screen tho thats the problem on my phone i tried to installa dif one but im flashing the 2.2 sbf tho

yay thanks so much i reflashed it and it works fine, but if anyone could help me get my recovery menu back i would greatly appreciate it so i can install roms

you'll have to root and reinstall recovery again

Your welcome
To get CWM recovery back you'll need to root. (use SuperOneClick)
Then Install Sd recovery (hhttp://tinyurl.com/3dbqefx)
Install recovery and done!

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.

[Q] Stuck on HTC Logo after JB update

I've recently got the JB update so I installed it, or atleast tried. Because when I try to turn on my phone again it gets stuck on the HTC logo (White screen).
I think somehow my battery went down during the installation and now I can't access my phone anymore.
It's a clean phone, no costum ROM and I haven't rooted it in any way.
Is there a way to fix my problem? (Preferably withour rooting it.)
I tried holding the power and volume down buttons and then selecting recovery but that doesn't work as I just end up getting stuck on the black screen with the Red triangle.
Regards
Sarcks

Try going into HBOOT
Hold down Power button & volume down buttons together when the phone is switched off. This will take you into HBOOT.
Select Recovery using the volume down button and press power to select it.
Hopefully it is able to recover and re-flash the firmware.

Doh missed that bit Sorry to be of little help. Hopefully someone else can proffer a solution.

if it's an unrooted phone, HTC have been very good at fixing phones bricked during OTA in my experience (2 day turnaround)

When you see the phone with the red triangle before you want to enter the recovery press vol - and the power button.....or at least the vol - button. Can't recreate it as i am on a custom recovery. You will bypass the red triangle and will enter the recovery. Maybe a cache wipe wil do, or a factory reset !

I've tried the factory reset be just like the normal boot it gets stuck on the HTC logo.
Clearing the cache might work but doesn't your phone needs to be rooted for that?

I cant recall if wiping cache is an option in the stock recovery !?

One can erase cache using 'fastboot erase cache' after getting the phone to restart in fastboot mode. See here and go to the 'Try this first' section. Hope this helps.

Sounds like hboot version problem with JB upgrade, what version of HOX you have? what version of hboot? , maybe we can unlock your phone and recover the system with custom rom and then rollback to stock rom.
