Install RSDLite on your PC. Use WinRAR or 7zip to decompress the. gz file you downloaded (there is an sbf file inside - the clean Froyo firmware you want to flash - and save it somewhere.
Take your Defy and press the power and volume up button and release after some seconds so that you enter the bootloader mode (you see some white text on black ground).
Connect the phone via USB with your PC with RSDLite running.
In RSDLite click the button with the three dots and open the sbf file you extracted.
Hit the start button. Now it starts flashing the firmware, takes a couple of minutes.
When it's done the phone reboots and is running a Motorola Froyo firmware (not rooted or something, it can't really be called a ROM). If you want you can root, install CWM again etc and put your ROM in it again.
Almost always when your Defy is doesn't boot anymore or is somehow broken softwarewise, you can use this method to repair it.

thank you for your time.

If you want the recovery menu you need to install 2ndinit. http://goo.gl/5P89P
Open the app and install the recovery menu with it, then reboot (some say it is safer to reboot even two times). You get the blue LED after powering the phone on, you have to press volume down then. There you can get to the custom recovery and wipe data, cache, install zips from SD etc.

I tried to connect the device to my PC via USB but nothing happend at all
the computer didn't see any thing
so what can i do now!! please help

Did you install a custom kernel? Or if you habe recovery installed? If so you can just boot back to recovery and start over.

Actually the phone can't load to recovery

Often when i instal a new rom the recovery is removed
I have to reinstall new recovery from Xparts

Flash your stock firmware via flashtool.... Then start over
Xparts is temp solution to Cwm
If you don't wanna lose recovery unlock your bootloader and flash a custom kernel

Don't worry it can be easily fixable ..
If your BL is locked then do this ! :
Turn off phone (pull the battery out then take back)
Install PC comanion softwer to your computer
When it is installed then select software repair
When it say connect phone the do this :
Hold the back button while you plug the usb cabel in !
Then follow the instructions in the PC companion than you finished !
If it is not work try to do with flashtool SEARCH for a guide there are many for it (for example flashing frimwares with flashtool ) !!
Sorry for my bad english /it is late night for me.. xD
Here a video for PC companion repair : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiaFGbeGOr0
And for flashtool : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNDeiIWrf3Q

Xperia Arc Stuck in Loading

Hey guys! Today I rooted my device, installed CWM and installed a ROM onto my Arc device today. It all went fine but when I rebooted after the install the device seems to be stuck at the "Sony" logo. I cant seem to boot it into CWM (tried it couple of times). I'm new to this so does anyone know what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance

Did you unlock the bootloader? Flashed the right kernel? Explain a bit what did you flash and how.

I'm kinda new to this and I just did what the guide told me to do , which is the following:
For Locked Bootloaders: Root your phone using this tutorial, than install CWM using this app
Place ROM on SD-Card
Back up user apps and data. (Various apps available, search Google Play. This is a popular one)
Power off phone.
Boot to CWM (Keep pressing the Volume Down key after the Sony logo appears)
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Mounts and Storage --> Format /System
Advanced > Wipe Battery Stats
Install zip from SD card > Choose Xperia Ultimate HD
Follow on screen instructions on AROMA.
After Complete Installation untick "reboot" and select reboot in CWM
Give the phone a good full charge, and enjoy your brand new phone!

Okay I suppose you flashed this rom and installed it with aroma installer. And you can't boot into recovery mode when logo appears (by pressing vol down button?)
Argh I had the same problem when using different rom with aroma installer and I couldn't boot in recovery mode. The main problem was not getting into cwm so I had to flash the stock rom (ftf file) back on arc using flashtool and I rooted the phone and unlocked BL again. Then I restored the previous backed up rom.
Is there any particular reason to have locked BL? You can do it with flashtool.
I don't know what the problem would be since I don't have enough experience with aroma installers, I just know the basics of flashing, installing and I can solve problems on my own arc when I f*** up something but I'm a bit confused here so you better wait for someone who has more brains than I do.

I just want to put my standard rom on there atm, can you link me to something that tells me how to do that?

Ok, so here's thread with stock, custom roms, kernels etc. here find the stock rom and choose version (lt15i or lt18i depends on which phone you have and where you're from) and download the ftf file.
Then go to this link where you'll get direct instructions on how to flash. It's really not that complicated. Just open flashtool, choose flashmode and browse for the ftf file, then flash it.
Good luck.

If you wish us to help you, at least tell which ROM you installed.

For a locked bootloader, flash the original TFT through Flashtool.
Root.
Install CWM.
Reflash ROM.
If your bootloader is unlocked, just flash a kernel with CWM included.
Mount your SD Card.
Put the ROM on it.
Flash.
Hope I helped you !
Cheers.

Bricked phone

Hello,
A friend of mine tried to change from stock ROM to Eragon a few days ago.
He wiped all data and then tried to flash the ROM from Android system recovery but it wont install the ROM.
So now the phone just loads the boot screen when its started but nothing happens after that. I can still get access to Android system recovery.
From what I understand, he should have installed CWM before doing anything really but what's done is done.
Is there a way to save his phone?

Hi,
no worries, it's safe! Just reflash Stock ROM, afterwards CWM and install Eragon.

put that on sd card, then I tried to "apply update from sdcard"
then I get "opening update package..." then "installation aborted"
is there something im doing wrong?

You need to use the sp flash tool, there is a guide somewhere so either try the BBS.elephone forum or Google it you will need to install mtk drivers on your PC/laptop...

Sp flash tool wont start to download.
Is there a certain setting that needs to be on phone, when you just connect it android preloader shows up in drivers quickly and then disappear. But if you hold down Vol - you get "CDC Serial"
But when in fastboot you get android "ADB Interface."
From what I have understood you want to stay in Preloader.
How do I do that?
Have read about sp flash tool, but there seems to be problems with the downloading proces and the mtk drivers.
Any idéas?

Click download first and then connect the phone while it's off. The guide on elephone's site is weirdly explained.

1. Install drivers on your pc
2. download spflashtool
Turn off phone
3. format all + download K05TS-A.A.vA0L.E1.150725.zip
connect phone to pc while off
4. when its done start phone, takes around 5minutes to boot up.
5. download cwm recovery
6. use Spflashtool again and flash cwm.
7. put eragon 2.5 on your SDcard
8. Restart phone in recovery, turn off, powerbutton + vol up.
9. wipe data / factory and cash, and delvik cash.
10. install eragon 2.5
DONE

Thanks for all your suggestions on how to fix it.
I will try them as soon as possible.

To be clear:
You can only install STOCK ROM with SP Flash Tool
You can only install ERAGON ROM via Recovery
To install ERAGON you need to be ROOT'ed and have working CUSTOM Recovery...

Followed Peinnes list of what to do and it worked!
Thanks alot for the help!

Thx very much for this solution that work fine
Just i lose my imei duration and i fix it via the EngineerMode (*#*#3646633#*#*) connectivity - cds information - radio information - phone 1 - AT+ EGMR=1,7,"IMEI" and for phone 2 AT+ EGMR=1,10,"IMEI" (with the space between + and E and a restart at the evry time), you save me
Have a nice day
