Hello Folks,
today the Touchscreen of my DHD stopped to work completely. Its fully unrooted,and right at the Moment i use LeedDroid 2.2.2.
My DHD was sold from O2 Germany...
Do i have the chance to unroot it fully without Touchscreen? I am able to boot my DHD into CWM.
Or maybe someone has another Tip what i can do in that Situation?
Many thanx in advance...
try a wipe (factory reset), and if that doesn't help flash the rom again.
If the hardware is dead you can flash back to stock via ADB.
ex here but via ADB:

Go in the ROM thread in the stickies and check the guide to install custom ROM.
Then redo on the other way (it's explained).
Of course if the previous post works (wipe+fresh install) it's much better
Factory-Reset and Installation of a new Rom i already tried with no success.
And i think a Flash-Back of Stock wont be a Problem... The Problem is,that i now cannot change the Super-CID...
Any other Tips?
Ok. I have the motorola defy mb525. rooted and with titanium and busybox
System Version 3.6.190.mb525.t-mobile.en.us
Firmaware 2.1 update 1
kernel 2.6.29
build jordn_u3_6.19.0
BP FLEX usajrdntmob1b4b5de1028.or
AP FFLEX GAS_na_jordantmo_po22
My problems are these:
I tried to do the nandroid backup; stuck on a boot loop. Try to flash a different rom; stuck at the M symbol. tried the one where you can do the rom on the phone itself w/o having to flash; stuck on the M.
Also, there is an update out and I can't install it. when it brings me to the screen with the triangle with the exclamation in it it loads just under half and stops. when i check it says applying patch to audiopostcard failed. now I'm on the hunt for the the stock bloat apps to install the update.
Ultimately, i am trying to install froyo. This is the third and last phone I can get from the carrier and if i **** this one up I will get an equal or lesser valued phone. I can't have that. I thought I was good at following instructions but obviously I'm an ass.
Can somebody please help with detailed and specific instructions. To help me with this I would definitely buy a beer!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In advance, I greatly appreciate and thank you for your time and help.

hi,
what version have u tryed to flash with recovery? it sound to me u need to flash a the boot only.sbf but the correct u have tryed to flash.
cu
smok.y
same thing happened to me. idk exactly how i fixed it but I suggest following the steps on Adlyx ROM from the dev forum (w/ the boot dev tree). it should get u booting again.
I have a stock 2.1 defy with the 2.51 rom (i think). all the mod i did was root the phone using super one click, the phone ran fine for a few months until i experimented with titanium backup and deleted google talk etc. i found out that (too late)doing this would cause the android market to stop downloading and updating my apps. To remedy my situation i tried installing google talk service.apk back to system apps. first by copying the file to my sd card and pushing it to the system file using terminal emulator. after rebooting my phone is now bootlooping. i tried removing the battery and just after i insert it it would go immediately into the bootloop phase. tried using recovery (volume down+power) and wipe cache and reset, still no go. last resort i tried is after wiping i tried installing cm7 but the installation was immediately aborted. please help, right now im close to tears, i didn't know that it was this hard to mod a defy. my previous phone was a wildfire and modding it was pretty easy.
What happens when you turn the phone on? Does it start in the bootloader? Is it stuck in Motorola Logo?
Try to wipe data/cache again and see what happens.
As well you might want to go ahead and download all tools needed to flash an sbf. Because if worst comes to worst your going to have to flash one

the phone turns itslef on automatically when i insert the battery, white moto logo first then bootloops in motoblur animation.i can go into bootloader mode by pressing up and power before inserting the battery. i just wished i hadn't played around with titanium backup. i already downloaded the necessary files to flash a new firmware. hope i learn to do it properly.

i tried wiping the cache/data numerous times under recovery mode to no avail. now im crossing my fingers that my battery isn't that drained for me to flash a new firmware.

You can also do the battery hack/trick

Hi I have the same problem,I just tried to flash the Barebone 1.5 ROM.
My Defy was stock,I just root it and made a backup with clockmod before I did as discribed here:
Installing (Rom wipes data/cache partitions)
1. Copy Barbones to sdcard: Barebones_15-signed.zip.
2. Boot into recovery (make a backup ?) and restore nandroid: 3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip.
3. Still in recovery, select install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> Barebones_15-signed.zip.
4. Reboot system, first boot will take time as it builds the dalvik cache; wait for the background to load, and enjoy Barebones.
- Use Easy Installer to install any apk's you feel are missing.
- Removed.Stock.Apps.zip
-- Removed Apps Must Be Copied To /system/app Manually - Remember To Set Permissions & Reboot
To downgrade back to Eclair; just flash the Eclair sbf you where using beforehand; thats it.

Click to collapse
after Reboot it just shows Motorola,I can access Recovery Menu stock one and custom,tried wipe restore factory settings and wipe cache but nothing helped!
What version where you coming from ? Eclair or Froyo ?
Btw factory reset and wiping the cache doesnt do anything in these situations.
Did you restore the Nandroid provided ?
Also cant lie only thing I did not test was coming straight from an Eclair build.
I used the Korean Froyo sbf as a starting point; but I'm testing it now.
Got it alive again with this steps.
No wonder why u're stuck on motorola logo.
Let me break it down for you.
Make sure you have motodrivers installed or install them here.
And install the RSD Lite too Here
Turn off your phone, hit the power+volume up together.
Wait till u're in the bootloader.
Open the RSD Lite, u phone should be detected so u click on "..." select the .sbf u downloaded from here
And flash it.
Wait till is over, and your phone should be good again.

I used this .sbf
But I still don't know what went wrong,I did exactly as discribed in the TUT I postetd above!?
Well if you flashed that sbf you wont be able to downgrade back to Eclair anymore.
However; yes doing that will fix it.
Is it not good that I flashed this .sbf? I got the phone just 2 days ago I think it already had the newest firmware etc.!?
EDIT: But something is wrong with my Wlan connection it is very slow and always loses connection
I doubt it came with Froyo seeing as they are all leaked builds.

Just means you cant go back to Eclair.
Ok so you wifi is slow ? Are you even using my rom now; because you flashed 3.4.2_155-Stock.CEE_DEBLUR.sbf.
I cant see your phone so you have to tell me what your using.
Yes I just flashed the sbf nothing else,and before I just did what I read in the instructions from the Barebone 1.5 Thread.
1. Copy Barbones to sdcard: Barebones_15-signed.zip.
2. Boot into recovery (make a backup ?) and restore nandroid: 3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip.
3. Still in recovery, select install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> Barebones_15-signed.zip.
4. Reboot system, first boot will take time as it builds the dalvik cache; wait for the background to load, and enjoy Barebones.

I tried this sbf before 3.4.3_11-Stock.UKTmobile_BLUR but it always failed thats why I tried the other one
So your not using my rom now - the sbf overwrites everything.
Ok sorry Im a noob^^ I just wanted to have all this blur stuff removed etc and your rom seems just perfect for me.
I have problems now with the phone and I really wished I would never had tried this.
I cant boot into recovery mode anymore with clockworkmod, I rooted my phone again installed clockwork but the screen stays black after the Motorola Screen came up when I try to make a recovery boot with clockwork.
cause I wanted to restore the backup I did with clockworkmod before I messed it all up,would that make my phone like it was before or not!?
I doubt you will be able to get back to your backup simply cause I dont think its Froyo.
So do this:
1. Boot into bootloader (power + volume up).
2. Flash 3.4.2_155-Stock.CEE_DEBLUR.sbf again.
3. While its rebooting after flashing hold volume down to goto stock recovery.
4. Do a factory reset.
5. Root your device using superoneclick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913709
6. Reboot.
7. Install 2nd Init Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
8. Reboot twice (to finish installing recovery).
9. Reboot into recovery - wait for blue led then hit volume down.
10. At this point you can try to restore your backup or flash a rom of your choice.
If you try your backup and it does not work you will need to start this process over.
Ok thank you so much fritolays for your help! I will try this tomorrow and post back if I had success or not!
greetz!
EDIT: Couldn't wait to try it and it worked! I took the risk and tried to install your rom again (restoring my backup didn't worked anyways 'cause clockworkmod didn't find the backup but it was still in the same folder it got stored before) works like charm as far as I could test it. But now I really have to go to sleep!
Big thanks again fritolays without your quick help I would still try to get my Defy to work without any success! and THANKS! for this great rom!!!
EDIT2: I don't know why but I have problems with the phone since yesterday when I first flashed another ROM,I always have Network Connection Problems now! I can't download anything from the market if I get to the market! 'cause normally it says no network connection! It worked fine for like 20minutes after I got it to work with ur method u told me above then it suddenly took very very long to download an app. Never had these Problems before,I also have very bad Phone Signal and most of the Time I can just make Emergency Calls and I turned Internet Connection OFF for mobile network (like I did before when it was stock) but sometimes I still can go online with Wlan turned off so this is really ****ed up 'cause I have no internet plan with my mobile phone!
But with your ROM the phone is really flying,I did a Benchmark Test before and got 1100 Score and by just putting your ROM on my Defy without any overclocking or something like that I got 1275 Score!
EDIT3 I found the direction it was clockworkmod/backup/ now
I did a wipe factory reset and a cache wipe and now restoring it I really hope everything is like it was before all this!
Ok this got me to the Bootloop Problem again so I did again all the steps u told me and instead of restoring ur ROM I restored my backup wich was now in the right direction,but it is also ended up in Bootloop!
EDIT4 If I try all this with ur ROM it works,is it because of the Froyo .sbf I flashed that I can't get my backup working!?
I get this Error Message after my phone booted with ur ROM maybe that is one of the Problems I have? "Sorry,the process android.process.media got suddenly closed try it again" I had to translate it so maybe the message is a bit different in english but thats what it says generally.
So everything worked great again,I go into Market to download TitaniumBackup (like I always did) then as always I apply the new Busybox Install TitaniumBackup suggests everytime I start it and the Wifi gets slow already by downloading Busybox. Then I tried to go to the Market again and Network Error, I get the feeling it has something to do with this app or the Busybox installation TitaniumBackup is doing!?
I don't know what it is but it alwys messes something in my phone up and I get Wifi Probs!??
EDIT5 I tried another ROM now "xd1 ** new ** ver 1.2" and everything worked fine! I downloaded Quadrant and a Antivirus App just to test it and everything was alright so I tried TitaniumBackup again (the Free Version as always) and guess what the download got fast till 42% then stuck and now I can't download anything again from Market it is very slow and then the downloads got canceled! wtf is wrong with this app!? I need it for all my Apps 'cause I did a backup with this app but since I flash custom ROMS it always does this bull**** when I download it from market!?
update..got my defy unbricked by following Higgsy's step by step method. installed a 2.51 SEA sbf in the process. love the phone without blur. now im thinking of upgrading to a froyo rom, which do you guys think is the best? based from reading the posts here i'm more confused than ever. sbf's here and 2nd init that??? not to mention a fixed sbf?? i really can't understand these terms and the more i read the more i got confused. Could you guys help me in laymans terms the proper process for upgrading to froyo and which rom is you think is best??
Hi, yesterday i've installed an clockworkmod for defy from this site, but from the second installation the phone just keep restarting on the motorola logo, i didn't applyed any rom so far, i can use the phone's recovery menu, but it wont install any rom because it fails on sign check, wipe data/cache wont work too, my phone has an official froyo 2.2 from Claro Argentina D:
Thank you.

What are you trying to do? CWM doesn't replace the stock recovery on the defy so you can't use this to install a rom.
You will have to flash an sbf and then follow a guide on how to install the rom you want. Just check beginners guide, where you will find what you look for. The wiki page is also up to date on (almost) every rom.
yeah, but so far i know to flash an sbf, you should do it with an custom recovery thing, that's installed from an working android system, and mine wont boot D:

hey :3 i could get it working flashing it from USB, then installing an bootloader from the last link and installing, i just noticed i can't catch my operator's signal, but google told me that i should change the baseband, so, i did with "Defy baseband" app, everything works, thank you to you two =)
Let me just start off by saying this is my first post, as I am the type to scour every thread available to figure this stuff out myself but alas, I am finally at a loss. I have found plenty of posts from people who cant flash any sbf other than JORDN_U3_97.21.51, but I am not even able to flash that at this point. I have tried just about every sbf available on and-developers/sbf:defy. At first I had an issue with CM7 so I attempted to flash the original sbf I flashed when I first got the phone (the sbf that allowed me to OTA update to Froyo and then root and flash CM7) which was JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF. However after flashing to that it gave me black screens. After trying everything, I finally got it to boot flashing the JORDN_U3_97.21.51. I then flashed a nandroid backup, then a fixed SBF, and finally flashed Defy_Amoled_Green ROM after several unsuccessful attempts to re-flash CM7. I figured out I was able to flash CM7 after flashing the Defy_Amoled_Green ROM as the Amoled was giving me battery issues. Again, black screens. No matter what fixed SBF I cooked or what versions the SMG files were, nothing. I discovered after just flashing random SBF's every now and again I could get it to boot after flashing the JORDN_U3_97.21.51, but when I would unroot using SuperOneClick and reboot (because when I went to root it it would say it was already rooted, but no SuperUser on phone) it would just stick on the Motorola screen. Now, I have flashed every sbf at my disposal, attempting to re-flash the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 after every one, and I am completely stuck. The closest I can get is getting stuck at the red M logo when I flash the 2.3.6 Chinese sbf (which I know is a non-no, but Im out of ideas). Anyone else got any?
Edit* Issue most likely resolved folks. I had to cook a custom version of the 2.3.6 Chinese sbf (which had default language as German for some reason) removing the CG32 and CG45 files (radio) which got me to the default recovery screen, wiped data-cache, then flashed the same file but with CG32 added. Will try to go back to CM7 and let you guys know what happens. Hopefully this helps anyone stuck in the same spot im in.
