[Q] [HELP Needed..] Flashing Defy

Hi there,
when i bought the phone, i went to Pays-ROM right away..
But now i wanted to test something new so i wanted to try CM7.
i flashed a Fixed SBF an tried to do an update.zip. But CM7 didn't have one.. Just Nandroid, and i couldn't get into the normal screen to get clockworkmod to work..
so i flashed motoginger update.zip and it worked!
only when i rebooted i got into a bootloop and it all went crazy..
i could not get anything to work.. tried several SBF's wich where given by different Threads:
- JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-11_BLUR_SIGN
- JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN
but none of them work.. i can't even get anything to run.. not even a M logo.
some SBF's did work but i got stuck in a Bootloop again.
the only thing that does work is:
- JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf
but then my gmail and market don't work. and i can't get a custom recovery on it.. Because i don't think it's rooted.. and i can't get it rooted with superoneclick or whatever...
so does anyone know what i should do??
thanks!

go to stock recovery then wipe data/cache... then flash a nordic rom via rsd, root your phone via superoneclick, install clockworkmod then flash cm7 via clockworkmod...

new error message
hey there,
back from a week of work... trying out some new stuff..
did the Macgyver trick with the battery, so RSD lite recognizes the phone again.
tried to flash the U3_97.21.51 wich did work before, so i could clean the whole phone in stock recovery. and then flash the nordic rom wich was suggested.
but... i got a new error message:
failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Phone(0000): Checksum error in the RAM Downloader for Flash Bootloader. File 0xC943, Phone: 0x6EF8 (0x702C); phone connected
so that's a bummer...
anyone nows what's going on??

What ROM are u on? I mean android version?
U can go back to 2.1 if u din flash full sbf n start over again...
Swyped from my DroidDefy using xda Premium app

edit: tried the nordic rom 177-005 and got the same error message..
i don't know if this is any helpfull, but RSD lite recognizes the phone Model as:"S Flash OMAP3630"

thnx for the quick reply,
i was on Pays-ROM (2.2 i think..)
but the last running rom was: JORDN_U3_97.21.51
after that, no rom has been running..
So wich 2.1 SBF should i flash??

Try redownloading the nordic froyo then wipe data/cache and flash via rsd lite.. just wait for it to say pass before pulling out the usb cable... even if it says manually reboot dont touch the phone..

i'm unable to boot into recovery...
i just get a black screen and sometimes a white led..
no boot at all
but when i put it into the pc RSDlite does see my phone, but doesn't flash properly..

just got JORDN_U3_97.21.51 to work.. with a fresh download and a fresh pc!!
that just made my day!
but... when i tried to wipe everything and then flash the Nordic rom suggested.. i get a black screen and nothing to work..
any ideas?

Put back JORDN_U3_97.21.51 and try to root it with an older version of superoneclick. I think this ROM has CG31.smg and CG39.smg with version 5... so you can't flash directly froyo (CG's version 4). You have to root it and then with custom recovery install a froyo or ginger nadroid with fixed sbf.

Damn!! NICE
got it rooted... at last,
clockworkmod installed succesfully, but i don't want to make any mistakes..
so could someone give me the steps i have to take to get to CM7??
as you can read in the rest of the thread..
i am on JORDN_U3_97.21.51 rooted!
grtz

>Here< you will find all the steps needed for CM7. Start with step 7 : How to install CM7 and keep downgrade-ability? (Froyo or Eclair).

If you can still start in Download mode (Home key + Volume Down key + Power key) or in Recovery mode (Home key + Power key) it's not hard-bricked so it can be revived.
Options to try: start in recovery and wipe data/factory reset (recommended when changing roms), reflash stock rom with odin and do same as above...

I dont know where to get stock rom?????

Search for a multifile ROM (for Gio) and flash it with ODIN

flash with odin.

I am Going to try it .... Lets hope evry thing goes alrite.........

I also bricked my phone 2days before and rcovered.dont worry.
You need to get odin flashable firmware files.
My suggesion is to google with your phones no like s5360
... Etc try googling PDA_S5560...DDK etc etc
They will be group of files with extension .tar and filename starts in my case with PDA_S5360....,MODEM_S 5360....,BOOT_S....
Etc. best luck

Hello and a sorry for my english
I've done something very very stupid. In the ROM Manager I choose, by mistake, in the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery a different phone than my one and then I push the Backup Current Rom option.In that moment my galaxy gio crashed... it is completely off, I ve try to push all the buttons it is really dead.
What can I do?
There is a very small space on the bottom of the phone where I can push with something to restart it?
Help please

Rom Manager author should really get those CWM recoverys out of that list ... lately a lot of ppl flash wrong CWM`s and brick their phones
No, u don`t have any "hidden button to reset it "
Try to get your battery out, leave it alone for 5 mins or so, and then put battery in and press Volume Down + Home button + power button same time and see if u can get to Downloading mode
If that works, try to flash a stock rom with Odin, there are some tutorials here use the search button

Rom managers recovery for Gio is outdated (4.X.X), better use recovery 5.X.X by Phiezx

[Q] Desire HD PLZ HELP !

I decided to root my desire HD today,
I was on firmware 3.xx with sense 3 ... Stock Gingerbread.
I successfully downgraded to 1.24.405.1 with the help of RUU
then i managed to root my device following the wiki.cyanogenmod tutorial.
Booted up with the respective android 2.2 successfully even after the root.
Checked root access via Root checker Basic , it said i had correct root access.
How ever , after flashing the clockwork recovery mode , My cell phone has NOT been able to *reboot* properly
i.e when i switch it off , it does not give any response without me taking out the battery and putting it back again .
When i try to go into bootloader/recovery mode , it just gives me a blank black screen.
Please tell me what to do in such a situation , i tried re-running the same RUU , but it gave me an error.
Please forgive me if i have created a re-post.. understand that my situation right now isn't the best.
PLease advice me as to what i should do , i wish to flash CM 7.1 on it, or at least return back to proper stock as soon as possible .
P.S the cell works fine right now , after i have removed the battery & re inserted. It however does not reboot.
Please help me as soon as possible !

This page should have some details on how to install recovery via ADB. Not sure if it will help but it should. Try the FastBoot method.

Thank you for your reply,
For now i am reluctant to even switch off my cell phone
Is there any full proof method of solving this ??
If not then in that case i'll try this method.!

Do you mean you tried rebooting with holding down the volumeDown button and then pressing the power button?

When i shut down the DHD .. & press volume down + power, it did now go into clockworkMod.. instead it booted up fine .. into android 2.2
This probably happened because i deleted the rom manager before..i thought deleting it work also remove clockworkmod's unsuccessful recovery flash..!my bad
Also ,I wanted to ask, is it because of the buggy flash of clockworkmod recovery, that my phone does not boot up when i try to *reboot*...
Anyways, i tried the volume down & power button again , & it goes into the HTC bootloader/recovery.. which has the options of fastboot,etc .. Not the clockworkmod recovery,even though i have it installed(5.0.2.0) via rom manager
Sorry for such a long post =(

This is a very good idea, you can do so through ROM Manager. If that doesn't fix your problem, try reinstalling ROM from clockwork - don't use ROM Manager to flash ROMs.

When you boot up holding volume down and power it NOT suppose to boot into cwr. That is normal,its suppose to boot into the bootloader(white screen) from their you choose recovery to enter certain/4ext

Thank you for your kind suggestions,
I finally have a working clockworkMod Recovery,
I have to boot into bootloader,then recovery.
So right now i have backed up my ROM from clockworkMod recovery, and now preparing myself to install CM 7.1 from recovery menu itself.(after data-wipe etc)
I am safe right ? I have successfully backed up the phone(ROM) 2 times from clockwork mod recovery.
So now I can go ahead and flash CM 7.1 right ?

OH MY GOD !!!!
Now i know what the problem is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i flashed cm 7.1 successfully , still the reboot issue !
i returned to stock successfully by using the same RUU in fastboot mode... & amazingly .. SAME REBOOT ISSUE !
So now ive analysed , its the freaking wrong RUU version for my Indian desire HD
that is at fault !!!!!
So now , can any1 help me find a exploitable version ruu , so that I can flash to that version and start the rooting process again ??
If not Indian version , am i safe to put the 1.32.405.6 version RUU ??

I honestly dont think it has anything to do with the rom. Just reinstall recovery either through Rom Manager or using the link i gave to you earlier.

Solved ! =)
Downloaded proper version RUU..flashed via fastboot... solved reboot issue!
Then rooted again and put cyanogenmod 7.1
Thanks for the replies ppl =) !

Wonder broken?

Hey guys,
I've got a problem with my galaxy wonder.. It won't start anymore. If I try to start it just shows the "Samsung" Logo for about a second and restarts again and again. It stucks in a loop showing the samsung logo and then restarts.
I can still enter the download mode but not recovery. I tried to flash stack rom with Odin but it doesnt help.
Before the problem appeared I had the newest blacknotes rom installed. And this wasn't working very fine. Sometimes there were many FCs so I needed to restart the phone. Sometimes it just restarted without any message etc.
And today it wanted to restart again but then stuck in that loop. When i recognized the loop I took out the battery cause I thought it needs a "real" reboot.
Thanks in advance,
domidinosaur RAWR

Its Okay , No Problem you can just reflash it again using stock ROM. ^_^
It will be fixed.

Thanks for your answer.
But as said, I already tried to flash a Stock Rom with Odin. Seems like it worked but the "Samsung-Restart Loop" is still there x:

I had this problem before. when I flash 7th CWG ROM, my phone receiving so many FC, so I reboot and then its going to bootloop and bootloop again and I can't go to recovery too. Yes I try to flash stock ROM with odin but nope was change. The only way is to bring your phone back to SSC, they will replace your motherboard and it cost nothing on me
good luck
sorry for my bad english

Try flashing cwm again using Odin and then some custom ROM. That is what I had done.

I tried to do this too but without any success. Phone keeps stuck in that loop x:
And so I can't enter CWM to install a custom rom.
I guess the only way is to make use of my warranty. Am I right thinking that my warranty isn't lost when I have reflashed samsung firmware to the phone?

when flashing with odin, during the reboot do you see the robot? if you do then press the menu button when you see the robot and you will be in recovery. then do a factory reset, reboot.

Problem
I have the same problem. Phone is restarting again again and again. Can not open the recovery mode just download mode is available but when you try to flash with odin it isnt rebooting. How can i do about that i dont know.
Is there anyone have an idea ?

Finally after one month of waiting I got my Galaxy W back!
I made use of my warranty and Samsung replaced the mainboard.
But it took very long (4 weeks) / Maybe because of galaxy s3 problems or something..
@Aesir77
Use ODIN to reflash original firmare, although it won't reboot it is flashed.
After that you can make use of or warranty and bring it back to the store where u bought it (Thats what I did and it was EXACTLY the same problem)
Good luck mate!

[Q] There is no way to get to recovery mode

So, I got an used Xperia ZL. The person who sold me this said he installed an international firmware, 4.3 and after installing SuperSU I noticed the device is rooted (and bootloader is locked). Now, I want to install a custom ROM but I cannot access Recovery mode! When phone starts there is no LED, pressing volume up does nothing, I installed Quick Boot, clicked restart on recovery but it does nothing. I even tried ADB boot recovery but the phone just restarts normally. What can I do?? I'm going crazy with this phone. Thanks for the help!
