keeps on rebooting

My desire keeps on rebooting when trying to turn it on, going to recovery mode, or when im updating a lot of applications on the phone.
there are times that i can enter recovery, but it is very seldom that i can enter it.
im using amonra, when i was able to enter the recovery i tried to wipe everything. but the files are still there even if i wipe them. so i tried flashing a new rom to fish the problem. after flashing the new rom successfully it goes to the lock screen and then restarts again..
the problem started after flashing my rom to leedroid which was a month ago.
what can i do?..
hope my phone isnt bricked

Try this:
Do the "CLEAR STORAGE" option in the HBOOT menu.
Enter recovery
Wipe ALL userdata
Wipe dalvik-cache
Reflash LeeDrOid ROM
That is what I did when the same thing happened to me when I flashed my first ROM (which happens to be LeeDrOid lol).
Also, try following up with this thread.

this isn't my first time flashing.
i already tried doing clear storage and problem still exists.. keeps on rebooting and can't enter recovery.
did wipe all already.. still having same problem
just finished reformatting my sd card and reflashing a new rom.. still having same problem..

I didn't mean to offend you, I just listed the steps I took when it happened to me a while back, hoping that it would work with you.
You can un-root the device and return it to factory condition by using the official RUU, then start all over =/.

wasn't offended
yah, right now im downloading the RUU and trying to unroot.. hope it works *crosses fingers*
thanks for the help though.

No problem =).

cant run the original RUU. because i can't even go to the original screen. kept getting error saying check the cable etc..
is there any other way?.

update:
now i can't even go to recovery manager again..
tried to clear everything.. still same problem.. any ideas on how to fix this?..
any help would be very much appreciated..
thanks..
update again:
now my phone is going till the lock screen and then restarts...

update on what i am doing.
i letted my desire rest for a couple of minutes and then tried opening it again. i was able to go to the lock screen w/o restarting. but sometimes it still does
When i was able to go past the lock screen i runned the asia RUU to unroot my phone but i got an error at the end of the process. now what i do have is an HTC logo in the middle of the screen and four exclamation point inside a triangle on the corners.
any help guys?..

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
MrPink52

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

Wont boot stuck in infinite loop please help

i dont understand why you're device is powering off in recovery/download mode. any issues with the ROM should not be affecting the recovery partition. especially once its been booted into. lemme look around

do you have enough time in recovery to wipe data/factory reset? possibly even wipe cache?
so this device was running the ROM fine, you did nothing new and this issue just sprang up?

maybe being soft bricked in a custom boot screen will have something to do with it?
