Problem with Desire

Hey guys,
I went to flash a new stable build of Froyo on my Desire this morning.
And i backed up using Clockwork, and then the ROM all installed fine. But once the phone had booted up, it stayed on the custom boot logo, despite the keypad lighting up, the green charge LED coming on and me being able to lock and unlock the phone.
So i figured that this was a problem and went to back to restore my old ROM and carry on like i have done many times before. However once i have booted into Clockwork, and gone to the recovery section, i select my most recent backup and the device then says "No Files Found" in the recovery zip.
And when i try to install update.zip from my SDCard the device just flashes up with installation text for about 2 seconds then vanishes and goes back to the clockwork menu having done nothing
What can i do?

i wouldnt worry about it too much
your phone completely works and youre not restricted of any access
seeing that clockwork is not finding any files have you tried making a new backup?
have you tampered with the recovery lately?
if recovery is not finding any files then maybe there is a problem with it, and if i were you i'd reroot my phone with unrevoked to re-install recovery.
if your recovery actually just does not work it could mean that the recovery image is corrupt, this can be fixed by installing a RUU (note that this will unroot your phone but re-install the recovery image).
if this is not the case then im sure im soon to be corrected by someone more knowledgeable than me

Well, i wiped the Cache and Data and now the phone boots up and functions fine, however both mobile internet and Wi-Fi both dont work, but i figure this is just the rom i am using.
So i'm just gonna reroot, sideload clockwork and what not and then try putting the Desire HD rom on it haha.
Thanks for the help

Phone Bricked

I played with my Defy today, installed Froyo on top of the Eclair stock, didn't like it, tried to install eclair again didn't work. I tried Cyanogen on top of Froyo using 2nd init, went ok, but had some problems in the applications drawer, tried to install Cyanogen again then everything went really bad.
I am now stuck with the Motorola red logo at the startup, can not even open the stock recovery.
What do i do?? Is my phone bricked?
Hady

Well, some days ago i was trying some changes like you, and i messed my phone, and just the M logo was showing, don't even turn off, need to take batt off.
What i do to revive, is to reflash and .sbf file similar from what i have before install the CM7 (i don't using anymore). Reflash with the RSD Lite, in the Bootloader screen (power+vol up).
Now is good again

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

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

, now i just want ot re-load my back up that i made with clockwork mod of my origanal set up
please someone help, as iom goign out soon, and i need a working device

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

Something was bound to go wrong...

Hello,
well I read a lot about rooting and flashing custom Roms the last few days and I figured I would give it a try.
I really hope I didn't break my phone, hopefully one of you Android / Defy Gurus can help me out
I rooted my phone with Super-One-Click and that worked fine, then I installed Recovery Bootstrap for Defy from a thread in this forum (can't find it at the moment) but it is this one: "bootstrap-recovery-clockwork-mod"
Anyway, that worked fine too... I make a backup (backup/restore->backup). Then did multiple factory resets and deleted the Cache as well as the dalvik cache multiple times. And then installed CM7 off the SD card.... the first time it didn't work, and it booted back to the setup of blur... I tried it again this time activating "Fix Permissions" before install... it then worked and it booted up CM7 fine.
I then wanted to go ahead and install The Google apps from here: goo-inside.me for CM7 ... did the same thing wiping the caches and then installing off of SD card... rebooted and I get stuck with the motorola logo... which just stays there and does not go away.
I rebooted multiple times (by taking out the battery) entered recovery mode with the volume button (this is the standard android recovery) tried clearing cache and rebooting, same problem... tried "wipe data / factory reset" same problem. No matter what I do it doesn't boot past the motorola logo.
Any ideas? I read about RSDLite and downloaded a stock sbf but my phone isn't recognized by RSDLite while not booted... even in the recovery utlitiy no connection is made (USB Debugging is off I think).
Any help would be very much appreciated. I am kind of freaking out, I just got the phone a few days ago
Thanks so much,
MrPink52

before u turn your phone on hold vol+ key until it loads the bootloader for rsd lite

Didn't want to make the first post overly long or complicated so here a quick update.
I read somewhere else that I could get a connection in RSDLite by holding volume up while booting and entering the bootloader... that seemed to work, so chose this SBF File "JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0" from and developers and told RSDLite to flash it... it said complete...the display then turned black... and now I don't have any image at all. It is still found in RSDLite but nothing happens when I boot... and I don't even see the logo anymore.
Now I will definetly stop trying until someone here can hopefully help me.... it seems like me trying by myself is only making things worse
Please tell me there is still hope for my Def.
Thanks,
MrPink52

When the red M logo is on the screen the led should turn blue for a few seconds, at this point press the Down Volume key & you should then go into ClockworkMod Recovery. I would try clearing the cache from there or maybe even doing a factory reset.

you will probably have to flash stock and start over

I already tried that, like I said it didn't start the ClockWorkMod but instead the standard Android recovery Utlity which only has limited options... but now as I have described, the problem has gotten worse... I can't even get in there anymore after flashing with RSDLite.
Help!

I took the one listed for Germany. My phone isn't branded so I tried to flash it with the sbf that seemed to fit.
Can you tell me exactly how I can do this correctly?
I may be doing something wrong with RSD Lite... but slowly I am really affraid I have bricked my Defy for good

after you flash go into stock recovery vol- key and factory reset then reboot should work fine then

That gives me hope... the problem is I can't press vol- after flashing... the screen just stays black... I can reflash it and I get white writing on the screen "Updating SW" but when its finished the screen just turns black again... and neither Vol+ nor Vol- during boot does anything.
Any further advice?

try another sbf the one ur flashing isnt the right one

it should show a gray motorola logo when u go to boot

i think this is the one u neeFull SBF name ::JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-6.1_TMNAB_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PD S03C_USAJRDNFRYOTMDE_P016_A013_M005_HWp3_Service1F F.sbfd

Do you have a direct link? I couldn't find it on the and-developers site... so a direct link would be great!
Until then I guess it can't hurt to try various sbf files to see if one works.
The only thing I am afraid of, is that my battery will dy during the flashing... is there a way to charge the battery in my current state? Or will it only charge when Android is booted?
Thanks for your support so far,
MrPink52

go here and follow directions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175801

after reading that is the only one i could find for ya hope it works for ya

if u can get into a recovery it will charge when plugged in

I have tried some of the sbf files... and tried this one: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-003
that seemed to work, at least I got the logo back and could enter the Android utilities... and it seems like it is booting up blur right now... wow... what a scare.
Don't know if I will try to move to CM7 again anytime soon... I don't know what went wrong since I tried to follow tutorials.
But again thank you for your help.. I will update here again when I know for sure that everything is working

your fine dont let that scare you just wrong file its not the end of the world anyways enjoy!!!

I just did mine last night and at times it was a little scary, being the 1st time I had tried to flash a phone. I followed these directions to a point.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897445 I also used these directions pretty much combined the 2 to get the job done. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798
When I got to the point where CM7 RC1v2 was installed along with Google Apps I then rebooted and let it all start and create all the necessary caches. I then flashed the nightly from the sd card.
I did NOT do the 3g stuff mentioned in the instructions, There is an app that will let you set your baseband for your country in the app drawer called Defy Baseband
