Hey I'm new here but this looks like the best place to be for help......... I recently used superoneclick to root my phone that went just fine. I installed GoAPK custom recovery and granted superuser permissions.......... that went fine too but then when i used defy recovery.apk to boot into recovery i realized that i had not turned of usb debugging mode and now i feel screwed........ I have infinite boot loop, however i can still access stock system recovery and i can access bootloader. but now battery wont charge and it just cycles through the M logo!! is there any way to fix this? if im not online just email me
.
Wipe data and cache partition from the stock recovery. Reflash SBF if still bootloops.

Well I flashed sbf once and wiped cache partition and factory reset and it still looped. I also have no way to charge battery from phone what about that? can it be fixed even though i booted to GoAPK custom recovery before usb debugging was turned off? can it be fixed or is it permanantly gone......???????

Go buy yourself a Universal Charger & Charge you battery for 7-8 hours, put it back in defy & your good to go again
instead of buying a external charger u can jus put ur battery in someone elses defy and charge it......i went to the store from which i bought mine and asked one of the employees who owned a defy to charge it for me....after that i flashed a official rom using rsdlite and my phone is working again ....good luck
Ok i have my battery charged. Now can anyone please give me an official sbf with instructions on how to properly flash and fix my phone to stop the boot loop please. you all are being very helpful thankyou. now i just need the necessary steps to flash and fix my phone.
can anyone help
I think you should follow the FAQ. First try to wipe data from stock recovery. (Volume down when you turn the phone on) If you done that as i read what sbf did you flased(exact wersion)? Wiped after flasing the sbf?
I don't remember what sbf i flashed. I do know that after i flashed the sbf I had used stock recovery to wipe cache partition and factory reset but I still have the boot loop. I need a new sbf to flash to it
Try to remember. because if you flashed gingerbread or eclair that can cause problems. If you flah a proper sbf for your device it will work.

There is a T-Mobile stock 2.2 SBF in the Developer forum. Use the search button it wont bite.

I dont remember which one it was but i know for sure that it was not a gingerbread or eclair sbf. so thats out of the problem. i installed custom clockwork GoAPK and hit boot into recovery but my phone had usb debugging on and then it went to boot loop. so do you have a proper sbf i can use. that way i can load the custom clockwork without usb debugging on and flash custom rom on it?
Hey guys i fixed my phone found a good sbf. how do i load custom clockworkmod and how do i flash custom rom.

i prefer the 2ndinit method from here (step 2):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
since your phone is already rooted you can start from enable usb debugging but skip the superoneclick and reboot bit and go straight to installing 2ndinit, and so on.
have fun
edit: sorry, you should start from copying your preferred rom and gapps to the sd card first.
i am using 2nd init. works just fine
ok cause when i use the system recovery method i get boot looped. and rom manager wont work unless i manually install a custom clockworkmod

I just got the Defy and rooted/installed clockwork recovery.
After booting into it and flashin CM7, it's got stuck in a boot loop.
It won't let me access the recovery menu, and I can't get out of the loop.
Power+Up puts me into the bootloader mode, and Power+Down puts me into stock recovery.
Is there any way to get clockwork recovery up, or fix the phone without un-rooting, if not, how can I re-flash and fix it?
1. wipe
2. flash unmodified .sbf (choose from here: http and-developersDOTcom sbf:defy "2.2.1 Service Flashes" or "2.2.2 Service Flashes")
3. wipe again
In stock recovery wipe data and cache and than flash SBF u want.....
Thanks, I found one and was downloading, just didn't want to loose my root.
Is there any other recovery mod that you can boot into from startup, unlike clockwork?
Try to flash fixed sbf....But i dont know more...
Use "Defy 2ndInit" it's available on the android market, or search for it on the forums. Also, when you reflash you will lose root, root it using SuperOneClick and you should be good to go!

Maybe you wipe after installing cm7. Only wipe beforeinstall .

Hi all,
my Defy is bricked - had MIUI 1.8.5, messed around with busybox and now, everything is broken. Can't boot, can't start custom recovery, can't flash because of low battery. Yeah, I know there's still the MacGyver method.
The thing is, I can boot into stock recovery 3e. Now, that thing obviously needs a signed update.zip - is there SOMETHING officially signed which can be used?
Thanks for the help,
ahjot
Put the batt in external charger... n charge...
No theres no official update sort of thing...otherwise wait for bootloader to get unlocked

This is another one of those stuck on Motorola Logo thread. I tried to search but could not find a problem similar to mine.
I have a rooted defy in India, which was running 2.2.
I followed the steps given in one of the guides here, rooted the phone and installed CM7 on it.
Things were going well for a month now but today I decided to play around with it. I installed the recovery here http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-944543 and made an android backup. I rebooted the phone but was getting into the M logo with blue LED flashing for a while. I pressed the vol down and entered into boot menu and changed the default to "normal stock". Now I can not boot my phone and am stuck on M logo. I can go to stock recovery though.
What do I do from here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
CM7 has 2ndinit preinstalled which consists of a custom recovery menu. Why don't you guys read FAQs.
Here's what you can do. Enter the Bootmenu goto Custom recovery and reinstall CM7, you wont lose your apps and settings. Wipe Dalvik cache and reboot.

I can no more access custom recovery. If I press the power button, and vol down, I get the triangle with exclamation from where I can go to stock recovery.
Sent from my HERO200 using Tapatalk
why did you install that recovery!!!!?? cm7 already has it!! if you dont mind to lose your data, i think you should reinstall cm7 from the begining, cause i'm pretty sure wipe data from stock recovery wont work
Thanks for the help. I only had stock recovery, which does not have the option for nandroid. That's the reason I flashed this recovery. I don't mind losing data. Where do I begin? The only thing I can access right now is stock recovery.

Thanks everyone. Problem solved. Installed RC 1.5 this time.
So i was using slyking241 rom for a wile but then i decided to go back to stock rom i followed this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011527 tutorial step by step to reset my phone but when it starts updating it says unpacking and then updating gives na error i tried it multiple time but no luck then i though that i should go back to the 2.3.7 sly rom but it refused to boot up just get the cwm boot screen and endless reboots so i wiped data , cache,dalvik,battery stats but it still wont boot i reflashed the rom still doesnt boot tried 2.2 rom still doesn't boot..(cant past the sand clock icon) the recovery works fine i thought of istalling new recovery but i cant get into bootloader please help.
Thank You

The U8120 hasn't a real bootloader.
You hould flash the phone again!
And I mean fullflash (root the phone,install AmonRA...)
Just like you want to root it.
In my Thread (just click U8120 in signature) you can download the stock rom!
P.S.on't change the recovery after rooting!
Eclair works only with AmonRA
!FORMAT YOUR SDCARD BEFORE TRYING THIS!
how should i reinstall it if it doesnt boot up?

You got a SD-Card Adapter?
If not go to CWM and use USB Massstorage.
For rooting google a bit :-D

I was going to flash a new ROM on my DHD and did the usual steps: backup using TB, reboot to recovery, factory reset and then go find zip to install on SDCARD. But this time instead of finding my zips I had already transferred, I found none. So I mounted the SDCARD through the recovery menu and transferred the zip using my laptop.
I still couldn't see the zips, so I chose to reboot the phone from the recovery menu. Booted into old ROM, completed the setup wizard and rebooted to recovery again. Still no zips! So I turned the phone off and was just going to boot straight to recovery using VOL UP and POWER but then I only got three short vibrations and nothing happened, so I booted again to ROM and rebooted to recovery from there.
This time nothing happend, nothing at all. And now I'm stuck where I cant boot it, not to recovery, not to HBOOT and not to ROM. Tried taking out the battery and putting it back in. Tried turning it on using just POWER, using VOL UP and POWER, using VOL DOWN and POWER - and in different time length combinations. adb reboot bootloader cant find the phone. The LED doesn't light up when plugged to USB.
ROM: JELLYTIME for DHD/Inspire4g - 4.2.2 R4
Recovery: ClockworkMod
I'm guessing my DHD is completely bricked, right?

Oh dear poor you, I'm no expert, but unless your battery is dead, I'd say you killed your phone. Can't even get into recovery yikes.

If your battery is dead you may need to ask a friend to charge it for you? If your phone still boots into recovery you havent killed your phone, if you go to the htc web site & look for the correct software for your phone you may have to apply that to reboot your phone again, but after you will need to root again? But first try another rom a stable one & try doing this - factory reset/full wipe, then wipe cache, then wipe dev cache, then fash the new rom. Hope this helps
