first, excuse me for the english. ok, i installed the cyanogenmod and then i wiped the memory and the cash because i wanted to give the defy to other person.
so i installed the cyanogenmod from the card - the stable version or something similar - and that was all. the phone get stuck on the motorola logo, and can't get in recovery mode, only have the bootloader, and tried to install different ROMs, but the result is always the same - it can't boot and get stuck on the logo.
anyone can help me, please?
i did have the same did u soulve that proplem man !?
nope, i'm trying almost every advice that i can find in the net, but still no results.
hopefuly someone here can help to solve this issue.
What is the EXACT ROM you flashed at first, and what are the others you tried flashing?
Can you get to stock recovery?
Go into bootloader, plug in your phone, use rsd lite to flash an .sbf.
Edit-
If its stuck still, try now to enter recovery, clear cache, then factory reset. Happened to me when i tried to install CM7 from stock 2.2
this should get it stock again.

@iYossi i flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTNORD_P003_A001_HWp3_Service1FF then i tried the same and few others.
and no, i can't get to stock recovery i have access only to the bootloader. when i flash a ROM with RSD (the latest version) it get fine until the moment it tries to boot, then the RSD tell me that i have to boot the phone manualy and then it stuck and go to nowhere
@dyinghero27 i can't enter into recovery.
No, not recovery, load bootloader, flash with the newest stock sbf (think I seen 3.4.4 in Dev forum)
Edit* just like I suspected, I'm pretty sure your having problems with downgrading, you need to flash the newest sbf.

anybody has an idea what i can do?
I have the same problem, if I put the battery in a cel from a friend and let's take a charge, until I make time for the 2.2, then I put it loads to 2.2 in normal outlet ....
but I'm still the problem with the Motorola logo, so I can enter the bootloader, I can not get into recovery, do not know what to do ...
sorry for bad english
so i installed a lot of different versions on the defy and the result is the same, the phone get' stuck on the motorola logo. can anyone help me, please?
ok i tried a version that seems to work but now the display doesn't start. i have the defy connexted via usb and when i push the power button it connect/disconnect to the pc but the display remains off.
why i think that this version seems to work? because when i flash it to the defy it reboot the phone and says pass. the other versions stucks on reboot and the RSD says that i have to reboot manualy but the phone stucks on the motorola logo.
anyone have an idea, why the display is off. when i try to flash the phone i have no problems.

Hmm, sure you have the right sbf and it didn't corrupt in download? Also do you gave the latest Motorola drivers, if so even uninstalling and reinstalling them might help. The other thing I can think of is a virus or an antivirus that could be interfering?

i´m not sure if i have installed the right sbf, because i tried various and only this one seems to work ... partly. the others stuck on the motorola logo when RSD try to restart them, after the install. i suspect that this has to do with my empty battery.
i´ve cutted an usb cable and connected the red and the black wire directly to the pins, because i had the "the battery is low ... cannot program" problem, but i'm not sure if this is sufficient to get it back again.
Hi,
i had cyanogen 7 on my phone, and did one of the noob's mistakes of installing the 2ndinit (where the bootmenu is already installed).
it didnt even seem to install it (it said "failed"), but then i rebooted, and there you go- boot loop.
so i was calm since i've already faced boot loop with another defy, i started flashing an SBF using RSD lite 4.9.
every service flash i tried didnt work, it either-
said "please manually reboot the phone"- followed by a boot loop,
or
said "PASS", but then there was black screen with no booloader option.
then i moved to RSD lite 5, then 5.3.1- nothing works...
i read all the boot loop related threads in the defy, but i cant see anyone with the same problem of boot looping no matter which rom and which RSD lite version...
please help me!
Go to stock recovery after the sbf and wipe data/cache. With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear.
Edit:
Don't worry about the please manually reboot the phone instead of PASS. Happens a lot.
Also, I send a PM to total defy guide to add this.
Updated the Guide
I actually got this same issue myself.
Found the culprit was the SD Card, if you dont do a full wipe (Data/Cache) using Stock Recovery some files remain on the SD Card that prevents Android from booting correctly.
that makes sense,
thank you so much for the quick response!
the thing is currently the only response i'm getting from the phone is the white led when connecting to the PC, meaning vol up,down, or power don't do anything...
I, myself am in a loop, tried so many SBF, some brought me to the not responding state, and some to the boot loop state.
i'm currently stuck in the "not responding" state,
so i'll try to get back to the boot loop state and follow your directions.
i didn't know i can reach the stock recovery that way...
tell me- i have another defy, do you think i can use it's SD card in this defy or is it too risky...?
Just put your defy in your pc. If the let is white let it rest for a while so you won't run out of power when you flash. then open rsd lite and flash a froyo sbf (I hope you didn't flash an 2.3.x gingerbread sbf). Let the phone power up for +- 10 min. If it isn't powered up by then, or you see the boot animation then black and again the animation, you have to wipe data and cache in stock recovery.
This isn't CWM recovery that is used to install CM. Only use this recovery for this occasion. If you have flashed an 2.3.x sbf, you will only see the motorola sign when you power up your phone and the wipe won't helpe. Then go to the defy beginners guide of Zephyrot and follow the instructions there.
mmm, it does look like you flashed a Full Gingerbread SBF.
If any Eclair/Froyo SBF is giving you blackscreens even after a fullwipe with stock recovery, after a full Stock SBF flash; is because you are probably on CG v5, meaning you flashed a Gingerbread SBF .
If there is no way for you to recover the phone using Froyo/Eclair SBFs, go to the Guide and search the part on how to Downgrade from Official GB to a Froyo rom, and then how to go from there to CM7.
Last part just got added,
Good luck
i did try gigerbread, and i think from there on it got worse...
I cant reach stock recovery now since the phone is not responding...
isnt there any way to wipe using the RSD lite or maybe some other program which will recognize my device...?
ADB of course does not see it...
the thing is the RSD keeps saying "PASS" each time, so i unplug it, but then it wont power up...
are you saying i should leave it plugged for a while although the RSD says it's complete, or do you think i whould unplug it, and hold the power button for a long time...?
Man, if you tried Gingerbread, you dont have many options.
Please read the Guide completely before running out of battery, and then do the last part that explains how to recover your problem.
I'm a woman, but that's ok
so i've followed your instructions from 1 to 9,
last step was deleting the data and cache, then rebooting (using "reboot system now" in the bootmenu),
but it keeps going back to the bootmenu...
I don't want to do any foolish mistakes now, so i'll wait for you reply-
can i install the MIUI zip already...? is it safe?
i'm shutting down the phone now, and waiting for you...
you have no idea how much you've helped until now,
thanks!
in bootmenu go to boot-->then choose either 2nd init or stock cant remember but one of them should boot and not get stuck

Oops! sorry had no idea!
It defaults to Bootmenu unless you specify it not to do so.
In bootmenu you should have an option to either make 2nd-init or Stock your default Boot.
Choose 2nd-init and reboot, you should be good to go
First boot into normal Froyo charge battery to 100% and then try MIUI.
I dont know if it will work tho! I added yesterday a new Part to the Guide to install CM7 after a full GB SBF has been flashed.
Its really really hard to kill a Defy, so dont worry too much if you run out of battery there's a McGyver way to charge it too.
I had the eternal bootloop issue as well, I just fixed doing all wipes necessary before installing any kind of rom
well, i didnt want to wait, since i was afraid leaving it in bootmenu would run the battery out, and taking the battery out was a risk too...
so i decided to flash the MIUI before even booting into the froyo i just flashed (the one using the fixed SBF you posted...)
and it worked, and i'm happy with my beautifull rom
oh about the battery charging- i have 2 defys, so no Mcgyver for me...
anyway, Zephyrot, i liked your guide,
i think it's very well written,
i only have one question for future knowledge-
in the state of having the Eclair V5, why is it impossible to flash the MIUI/CM7 straight from that point...?
thanks again,
Elinor.

Well, I first thought it would work, but it doesnt. Another user had the issue and he got stuck into bootloop after installing CM7 zip. It has to do with 2nd-init and the way you have to trick the phone to load an Eclair/Froyo Android while having a V5 CG.
It seems it works only with the goAPK Recovery or the old 1.4.2 2nd-Init.
now google apps not responding
Hi again,
after problem was solved, i installed some applications, and at some point, all google applications seemed to stop working, including the market.
for example when hitting settings->accounts, it says: "the application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again"
so i started over with the full SBF in your tutorial (wiped data, cache, dalvik)
and even with this rom, you can't use any google apps...
i've been searching for threads on this issue, but all i could find was "do factory reset", which i did, and it didn't help...
can you think of what could cause this?
it seems like some basic files are missing...
thanks!
i tried to install lineageos on my asus zenfone 2 ze551ml. I must confess that I really messed things up because i didnt put lineage os on it before wiping.... anyways, I cant access the bootloader, but my phone does turn on and show the asus logo and that powered by android thing, in white tho, which is since I activated bootloader. Since the Screen turns on it doesnt seem to fit the definition of hardbricked, but I cant access bootloader either so it doesnt seem to be softbricked. What can/should i do now? When holding Power and volume up it just vibrates and does nothing, but when i just press power it gets stuck in the booting screen, i can turn it off though. I dont want to make things worse since everyone seems to warn me of using hardunbrick methods when the screen still does turn on... I own the zenfone 2 ze551ml, it wasnt rooted and i recently downgraded to lollipop since otherwise i couldnt have used asus' bootloaderunlock tool.
EDIT: I now have followed some tutorials, I have used the xfstk tool and i got to the point where I can choose between normal boot, power off, recovery, and reboot to recovery. I can also detect it via cmd and fastboot devices. Now unfortunately I can't flash a ROM with the Asus flash tool because "Error #1" and I cant put anything on it in general. I've come to the point where I just decided that i will take the next opportunity that will make this stupid thing work again and that my next phone will just be a oneplus because of the far better support from customroms etc. Anyways, does anyone have a clue how to fix it? if it runs lineageos afterward or the stock rom doesnt matter anymore, but it should work afterwards. Thanks! (in cmd, when im trying to flash something it would just say (command write failed (no error)))
I picked up my UK V30 H930 yesterday all fine and saw that LG have unlocked the bootloader on my model so I went ahead and tried it along with trying the alpha TWRP build
So I thought id write about what went wrong and how I recovered from it.
I made the mistake of letting the phone auto update to 10v software verion before I did this. As I had 10f on before when I bought the phone.
I went to load in all the software needed to unlock the bootloader and proceeded to do so but in my haste of the user data being wiped taking a longer then I thought it would I unpluged the phone to try "fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin" again . No such luck already unlocked. It booted back in fine so I thought everything was ok but that was the moment I thought could have caused my entire night to be ruined.
I thought with the bootloader saying it was unlock it was now fine to flash TWRP on now so went to do that and discovered it would no longer boot into the rom anymore coming up with the LG V30 Logo and just staying put. Thought it must be my 10v software version messing it up. Ok ill try to flash a 10f stock kdz. After about an hour or so of 'Finding my feet' with the phones boot methods for download mode, Fastboot and recovery I found that twrp was being strange with mounting the phone tried otherways eventually got the phone talking to the pc by using uppercut with LGUP and having the phone in download mode and the port com channel in device mananger set to com 41. After about 4 tries of flashing KDZ's to the phone it would just come with a "erasing" circle and proceed to get stuck on boot logo again so I messed about with .dlls and tried to other methods. Still nothing.
Now I tried LG Bridge's "Update error recovery" and I was actually talking to the phone for the 1st time so i let it do its thing which took well over an hour to download the kdz file. "Fine just work please". it got to the updating stage at 5% and froze and the phone being in download mode hadnt done a thing. I tried again but still nothing. Eventually now at 6am and having been up all night I went to give up but I manged to get it on to fastboot mode and by chance came across "flashing lock_bootloader" tried and it and it locked tthe bootloader back up (this thing of LG saying it cannot be undone must be rubbish?) now before I tried anything I rebooted the phone . IT BOOTED! onto the fresh 10v KDZ i had installed on it but before anything I wanted to see if it would now run with a unlocked bootloader on its own with no TWRP installed. It works! Now i just need a method of rooting but im now ready at least.
Hope this helps anyone with simular troubles.
Also had some trouble yesterday after trying out some Magisk modules.
On reboot it sometimes got stuck in the LG V30 screen, and sometimes even the bootanimation came up, but it didnt finish the boot lol
Only installed and adblock btw, and tried the Xposed module. Uninstalled that again btw. Now only using Adblock.
Phone also seems to need Power + Vol- to force shutdown for me, not only Power like other phones. Also didnt manage to find a way to boot into recovery when the phone is off, only found a way to get into the factory reset screen ?
sadly i dont have a working sdcard currently (my 3 year old 128GB one is read only for some reason, atleast changes dont get applied), so ill wait for a new one to mess around more ^^
Also working on a LOS14.1 build atm (it compiled, but didnt adapt all parts of thr device tree yet, and no idea if i have all vendor files lol)

Ive just managed to get 10f on so ill retry flashing twrp now.
Are you sure your sdcard doesnt have a little read/write switch on it . Im sure i remember so of them used to have one.

nope, doesnt have one. Neither windows nor Linux fail at writing on it, or when deleting files, but as soon as I re-insert the SDCard all changes are reversed. Formatting doesnt work anymore, unknown error. Tried that in Windows, Linux and in the Phone (Androids formatting crashed, TWRPs produced an error after it timed out)
Hi everyone.
so, I'm new to this world of roms, but i've been playing with a samsung sm- g532m, is an old phone, don't use it anymore.
i've installed many roms in this phone with twrp and gone back to stock rom with odin, and until now everything went fine.
I installed the lineage 14.1 for this model, and it went smooth, it charged to the logo, then to the first settings, but after maybe 1 minute it restarts itself, and i have to do the same. no matter how fast i try to do that, when it's supposed to set everything, it restarts.
i've tried using odin but the pc doesn't recognise the device. it's not the usb cable, because i've used it with other phones and there's no problem.
i've tried goind to recovery mode, hard reset but nothing, the android logo the green thing doesn't show, it just start the phone to the lineage logo.
When i installed the rom with twrp, i checked that it would install the twrp...like i said, i'm new. don't know what went wrong.
I thank you guys in advance, and hope you can help me.

Did you follow the patching to not make it crashes every 90 seconds? That sounds like one.
Also, if you want to boot recovery from OS, install ADB on computer and do these quickly
> let it boot and unlock screen
> plug in USB and turn on file transfer
> on PC: adb reboot recovery
