[Q] Bricked my Defy + Please help! [fixed] But network issue now!

I tried to patch my phone with CM9-ICS-MR0-111207-jordan-KERNEL-2.3.4-Quarx build and when I rebooted I get this
bootloader
09.10
err:A5,70,00,00,23
battery ok
ok to program
connect USB
data cable
Now I have googled this and found many options.
So far I have tried these.
droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/68222-unbricking-your-droid-x.html
When I do this I get a error (in linux ATM so cant tell you the name will get it ASAP) and I have got rsd lite 5.7 and the latest drivers from the motorola site. I have tried many roms and placed it in C:, My documents, in the RSD folder, on the desktop, in the download folder. Always open the program in admin.
Also this:
droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-sbf/23638-linux-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html
I have tried many of there ISO images and all boot and say they start to do something, then it says failed! rebooting and then it reboots and says to remove battery and go into these option (which I cant as it will only boot on the boot loader screen I tried to get into recovery and no luck) so it was a fail also.
I hope there is a solution as this is a pain, I may of put a to high rom on and cant revert back??
I am sick of googling and alot of the links come back to this site and have tried many but all seem to be repetitive and what I have tried.
Thanks in advance

Ok Fixed this site is the best!!! All I done was read the all in one beginners guide and it linked to a rom for the defy plus (all the other defy plus ones I found where folders not RSD files like this one)
So loaded the file into rsd lite and sure enough it went threw.
YAY! I cant believe I recovered my phone! I knew it was something but to find the right image was the trick I guess.
I did install the defy + CM9 image but I am not sure what happened there.
Thanks to all (more so walter79 for the image)
Hope this helps some one out in the future

Ok I got the phone to work with the image posted in the defy + section but when I boot I get no service.
I have tried to do a factory reset and had to input all the accounts again but that did not help.
what can I do?

Get the baseband switcher app It changes the network related files to the ones correct for your country/network! You need to set it manually, though, so, it may take a couple of tries to figure out which one is the best choice

Thank you so much I cant belive I was just about to give up and get a new phone now I have a working phone with 2.3.6 and rooted now I got the network to work again .

Firstly "someone help me!!" is not a proper topic title. People browsing forum will not know what your forum topic is about a glance as your title is not descriptive so you will likely get far less topic views as it will just be bypassed and ignored.
You also need to give more relevant information. What happens or what does it say when you try and use the restore function in TWRP?

Thankd for you advice
the problem is when I enter in the recovery and try to restore my backup I dont see it, i see nothing , I f I enter in the install menu I see my sd card, but no in the restore menu.......

I click yes....but I think nothin happenend ....because appear every time...
Thank for your help.

Just flash the Original 4.4 you got and you're good to go. But I think you should have to use Windows PC, NOT under Virtual Machine. Install necessary drivers and try to flash the Original 4.4 rom you downloaded.

[Q] Help!! Firmware gone and PC doesnt recognize my M9!!

I installed recovery to root my HTC One M9 yesterday. It seemed like I made some mistakes and now my firmware is totally gone and my computer doesn't recognize my phone anymore. However I still have access to recovery and I want to know if installing a Rom via SD-card is possible or not. If not, what should I do? Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks!!!

What recovery do you have access to? If it's twrp then yes you can load from sd card.. Have you tried an RUU for your phone? That should work as well.

Hello! Recovery I installed was PhilZ Touch CWM. I'm trying right now! Thanks.

Hi .. I think I made things confused a bit. What I meant by SD-card was external micro SD-card. Thanks!

Not sure what you mean by firmware. This is what you need to do:
Install the latest version of adb. Go to recovery, turn on sideload mode.
in cmd prompt-> adb sideload *location/name of rom.zip* e.g. c:\users\xxx\rom.zip
Restart and bam you are done

Does the computer recognize the phone in bootloader/fastboot/download mode? If you can enter recovery and download mode, then your phone is probably working fine (except for not having a working ROM) and your computer should see your phone on some level.
Are you using WIndows? I think you might need to get your device drivers on your computer working. Check Device Manager if you're in windows. With your phone connected, you should have 2 devices. One should be under a section called Android USB Devices (might be called My HTC) and the other is going to be under Portable Devices section (might be called HC One M9). If you don't have both, then you need to work on your driver issue on your computer.
Edit: Sorry if this is blunt, but since you seem to not really know some very basic terminology, i recommend that you do a LOT of reading on this forum so you can have a better understanding of what's going on with your device and how to solve your problem. I know you might feel like youre in panic-mode because your device won't boot, but you're going to get into more trouble if you just start trying a bunch of "solutions" without having any understanding of what you're doing. I know, because I've been there before.
Edit2: Also, it would help to steer you in the correct direction if you listed your location and carrier info

Actually, the beta version 2.8.6.4 is not recommendet anymore. Captian_Throwback now recommends using the official version 2.8.6.1. (Sidenote: The version number of the official one is lower because the numbering of the beta version is unofficial.)

Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U ROMs

Hey guys,
I really need to find at least the stock ROM for the new-ish Blu Advance 4.0L (model A010U), because the most recent OTA update unforgivingly bricked mine. Now I want to try to re-flash the stock ROM, but I am also open to custom ROMs, if there are any available. Please help me out! Thanks in advance

I am really surprised no one has replied yet, but again I am facing the same problem and I've been searching the Internet for one month now and I found absolutely nothing for this phone (specifically for version A010U).
So I am going to post a different question in the hopes that someone will read it and help us out:
I have two Blu Advance 4.0 L A010U phones, which are identical except for the color (white and green). They were manufactured a month apart one in 10/2015 and one in 9/2015.
Unfortunately after only a couple of months of light use and for no apparent reason (did not drop it, or wet it, etc) it started going through a boot loop. It will start, show the "bold like us" logo then restart again without making it to the operating system at all. Like I said I've been looking for over a month to find a ROM (stock or modded) to reflash but with no luck. Then I had an idea. Since I have the other identical phone that's working fine, is there a trick I can do using the working phone to create a ROM that I can use in my broken one. By the way, the non working phone will allow me to get into the recovery menu, but unfortunately nothing happens if I wipe the cache or even if I reset to factory defaults.
Anyone knows what's causing that "boot loop", how to fix it and where to find a ROM or even "extract" or "create" one using a working Advance 4.0 L ???
Thank you very much!

Man I wish I knew. I'm kinda a novice. I have the same phone with a similar problem... I downloaded the recent ota update and the first time it said it couldn't unzip it. I tried again and it seemed to work but when it rebooted into recovery it said there was an error... So it won't boot up, it just goes to the screen that says "no command". I'm pretty sure the there's a way to make a copy of the working ROM but since I don't use a PC for anything I've never taken the time to learn the method.

I just got ahold of a couple of these devices myself and am in the process of going through all the in's and out's of them....I'm a Samsung nerd so I haven't messed with something like these in a while but I got one (that was supposedly dead bricked per the lady friend of mine I got them from) at least able to boot into factory mode and recovery via ADB and just as I'm posting this I'm in adb shell going through the device's internal memory.....so we'll see what all I find and can pull out of this one and possibly know enough to post an intelligible reply with solutions next time
The boot looping sounds like a common problem with these and when I get to that point I'm going to get rid of the stock bootanimation.zip ASAP and try something else. I get the idea that these things aren't exactly power houses built for much so the littlest thing or small bug in their coding could lead to this kind of crap happening.
Hopefully you figure yours out before I toss these out the window! lol
Cheers y salud!

Forgot to add a couple things about your post, sorry! I beleive (and I just started digging into this phone) that the no command part is the locked bootloader these phones appear to have. I think it was a combo of holding both volume buttons down from a powered off state then pressing power button on that came up with the option for factory mode or recovery (which led to the sad 'no command' droid), i went into factory mode and theres an option for Tp Upgrade which Im assuming is F/W or something similar but I just hooked up to the PC and in that mode it's reading the internal and external memory of the phone and that's about where I'm at so far.

Wow! I'm surprised this thread is still going.
Anywho, I found a repository that is storing the default ROM for the 4.0L. The files were just added recently. I would have liked to have seen a custom Lollipop ROM made by now, but this device is far too irrelevant to get any attention, unfortunately. Just root and forget, I guess.

I can't wait to try it, thank you! And btw, were you able to get root successfully and if so, how?

Hey Deuler93 -
You have my respect for digging out that BLU ROMs link and sharing with the rest of us. I downloaded the one for my Advance and used SP flash tool to flash the phone that was stuck on a boot-loop. Of course first I had to download and install the MediaTeK drivers for USB connectivity with my PC. Everything worked flawlessly, no glitches what so ever. All these links are easily found and widely available online if anyone is interested I can share here too. I just hope that this boot-loop was due to some software glitch and not hardware failure. Everything seems to work fine for now, keepint my fingers crossed it will NOT happen again.
Well, one less headache to worry about. By the way we're not that far, if you're ever in the Chicago area, I owe you a beer or something. Thank you!

Hi guys !
Thank you very much for the Advance 4.0L Roms.
I have successfuly recovered my phone, but the IMEI got lost.
So, I need to root it in order to recover the IMEI, but I just can´t get success on any method :
Kingroot
Framaroot
Towelroot
is there another way to root it ?
Thank you very much.

I got temporary root using the kingroot apk. But it messed things up and I don't trust it anymore. None of the other mentioned methods worked for me either, maybe try the PC kingroot method

well this helps one thing

umm. . . when the no command option comes up just press the power button and the rest of options will appear. doesnt exactly solve your problem however unless you have the ZIP file to install, which is what I'm looking for.

What might happen if a ROM is used for another blu phone. ??
A similar phone as well.
Plz advise.

Damn! This thread just keeps going!
I haven't even looked here in a while, so I will bunch my commentary here. I'm also salaried now, so I bought into a OnePlus X (onyx), a more expensive cheapo device, so I do not use the 4.0L anymore.
As for rooting tools, I used the Kingroot APK successfully in the stock environment. I never tried flashing something SuperSU myself, but it could work. Is flashing a SU app possible from the fastboot interface?
And to Steve's question - it is technically possible to flash a ROM for a different device onto your own device, but is considered a bad idea due to the possibility of introducing incompatibilities and missing proprietary requirements. I feel like this would hold especially true to stock ROMs because the manufacturer probably has no interest in supporting anything more than the device that they are manufacturing for. Doing so removes many possible "compatibility" issues from even having to be considered, but I digress. In short, try to find a ROM made for your device and your device only.

Did you find the zip file for the recovery

You dont need root to recover imei all you have to do is type *#*#84666364#*#* in your dialer and you will be entered in EngineerMode then go into connectivity ,CDS information and radio information phone 1 or 2 then you will see AT+ type something eg.A then backspace and select the first thing you see. Put a space after AT+ and then put you imei code here "IMEI" between these "" You can find your imei by removing your battery it willl be there. After sending command reboot and imei is back.

Hey guys, links here seems to be down .
Maybe this link would be useful for you all... stock firmware can be downloaded and useful help on videos is available too... Enjoy

Need Rom for Alcatel 4037a

Good day my friends. This is my first post but i read these forums very often. I own a Digicel Dl750 (alcatel 4037a) which i would really appreciate some help with. I tried to flash my phone some time ago using a tutorial i found online since i couldn't find anything useful here (my go to source for these things). However, after trying to flash the rom and failing, i am stuck with a phone that won't respond to any input. COnnecting it with a usb simply gives me a white light on the phone, and device manager reads a "MTK usb port" device. it won't boot or anything else. Been trying to install some kind of recovery but i've had no luck so far. Is anyone here able to provide me with a backup of a working phone so i can fix mine please.
Edit Note1: After a bit more testing, I have pretty much confirmed that it is a problem with the preloader as the phone seems to completely skip the preloader when you connect it to the pc, and after a few seconds goes to the bootrom(?) instead. I am making this call based on the hardware ids show in device manager.
