ok guys, i really need some help here. not sure what i did wrong, but been stuck at this point for hours. i followed the methods as below
1. Install RSD Lite and USB Driver Motorola
2. Root your Defy with SuperOneClick (guide can be found on previous spoiler)
3. Install System Recovery apk file. Open the app and click Install System Recovery ( place System Recovery apk file in your SD Card)
4. Extract the file Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117 and place the folder in sdcard/goapkrev/backup ( if you cannot find the folder, create one)
5. Click Recovery boot and it should enter clockwork mod recovery
6. Navigate to backup/restore. Do a Backup for your current stock rom (navigate using volume up/down and press Power Button to enter)
7. Wipe data and wipe dalvik cache (in Advanced Options) in the recovery mode
8. Restore Froyo_UK_3.4.2-117
9. Click reboot and right after that press and hold down volumn up button and you should be in boot mode
10. Plug in you Defy to computer and open RSD Lite. Open the file TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree and flash with it.
problem comes when i'm at flashing using RSD lite. when i flash it, it comes to 'please manually power up your phone'. problem is, i keep getting the motorola logo, which i assume is being stuck in a boot loop? i tried to go to recovery and wiping data and cache, and flashing it again, but keep having the same problem.
actually, how to you manually power up the phone? i did a battery pull since pressing the power button seems to get is stuck in the same boot loop, and i dont see any other way.
please help!
Pull battery,
put battery back in holding the VOL-Down until the android pops up...
press VOL-Up and VOL-Down at the same time.
Next screen is for wiping and updating.
Wipe Data/Cache
When done, go to REBOOT and hold down the VOL-Up to go into Flash mode. and flash with RSD 4.9

You should be good to go...
i think i did a stupid thing and flashed the whole thing with a uk_rom.sbf. now my defy is showing a black screen but during flashing with a TmobileUS_Boot_Devtree.sbf, the screen does show SW Update but once finish, it's all black again.

i have a SEA defy if that's any help.
from the looks of it, i can only use an sbf file to restore to whatever point needed enough to recover more. this is cos i have a blank screen but rsd lite is able to see my phone and flash it with an sbf file.

Make sure the phone is OFF, after that hold the vol-down and power button and KEEP holding vol-down until you see an Android in a box with arrow pointing out..... them press vol-up + vol-down at the same time to enter another screen which will aloow you to wipe data/cache.
Once you've wiped.... download the sbf I linked you and use RSD to flash that in flash mode (vol-up + power on)
no dear, for defy after u see the traingle of android
press the lower right which is hedin
and a menu will popup to u
this is the defy
Anyway, solved it by flashing it with a Finland rom 3.5.2
Maybe I made a mistake somewhere and bricked it, but now running a non-downgradable froyo, but I'm not bothered. Thanks for the help
So i decided to Factory reset my Wildfire which was on CM7 and had root and S off. after the reset was done, while I was in the process of Setting up the phone (where you touch the green android and set up google account and wifi) and then guess what, It force closed. I restarted the phone but it wont start it was stuck on the cm7 boot thing (where the blue android guy is on his skateboard) and it went on and On. so i decided that i have to flash the rom again. I go into Clockwork Mod using the Volume Down + Power button. and then it hangs for a few seconds, Even if i press the volume up/down button, nothing happens. After that,this appears :-
SD checking [some file name.zip]
image not found
[same thing again]
I go onto recovery mode. and go to Install ZIP from Sd card and when i Press it, nothing comes on. all i get is a black screen. absolutely nothing is on there. what can i do? the rom is on my sd card but it doesnt seem to find it i guess. Is my phone bricked or what? help will be much appreciated.
Sorry if i have posted in the wrong section. Im new here.
thanks
Regarding the fc while setup I have no idea what happened. You say you wanted to factory reset the phone - did you also format/wipe everything and reflash CM7?

that's pretty normal (also the few secs pause): Fastboot checks if there's a PC49IMG.zip to flash - after that you can boot into CWM (what seems to work until there).

don't think that the zip isn't found - guess that would end up in a error message. Probably CWM doesn't work correctly or the SD card is damaged. I'd check the SD card on the PC and would probably redownload the ROM, then, I'd check with a second SD card to make sure it's ok. If no success either try to reflash CWM (e.g. with fastboot, there are different methods - obviously doesn't work with CWM itself )

nah, fits absolutely perfect here
You are pressing the trackball aren't you??
I presume so as it seems you're getting as far as finding the zip but I'm pretty sure if you press the power button it takes you to a blank screen, its been a while since I used cwm on my willy..........
If it isn't that try flashing cwm again.

I was trying to go back to stock ICS and cwm recovery. When I tried to go back, I was currently rooted, running twrp recovery and a custome rom (carbon). I followed this procedure:
The simple method to revert back to stock ICS from a custom ROM on an A100.
+++Locked bootloader, no custom recovery, no root. Full stock .014 rom. It will recieve OTA updates to latest Acer version.+++
Get Ready
1) Download this flashable Stock recovery zip, and place in your normal flashing location, - Thx 4 help pio
http://db.tt/VLmnMCzq
Also uploaded below
2) Download the Official .014 Stock ICS rom
The stock ICS zip from zeronull. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1611696
Here is a second link to it. http://ubuntuone.com/7DZtbNqZzOk7qsaQxNk99a - thx zleto
3) Rename the Stock ICS rom to "update.zip", no quotes (make sure you have "hide known file extensions" UNCHECKED, in the folder options). And place it on the root of your microSD card. This will allow you to see the file extension to verify that it is named properly.
Get it Done
1) Flash the Stock recovery zip with your custom recovery. Then wipe cache, davlik cache, and wipe data/factory reset.
2) Reboot to system.
3) Allow it to sit for 5 minutes or so.
4) Then Power off.
5) Update from the microSD card by holding down the power and volume rocker closest to the corner at the same time, until you see "erasing cache .".. ect, ect. The stock rom install should start by itself, dont touch anything, wait for it to reboot.
****** If it won't boot do a factory reset (with the hardware buttons, see below) and/or try to reflash the ics rom one more time. ******
Quote:
To perform a Factory Data Reset use the following steps:
1.Place the rotation lock switch in the up position (tablet held in portrait). Or to the left if held in landscape.
2.Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the corner (it is volume up, if held in landscape).
3.With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4.Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5.Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
Now I get the android symbol with the red triangle, that stays for about a minute, then it reboots and stays on thye acer screen. When I did the steps and was going to reboot, I received a waring while in recovery sayiny that I dont have a op installed. I did it anyway, as posted and now I'm stuck, can anyone PLEASE help me.I tried doing a reset with steps 2 though 4 but while pressing the vol up and letting go of the power button, it does not vibrate.
Ok, I redownloaded the stock ICS from here http://ubuntuone.com/7DZtbNqZzOk7qsaQxNk99a. At the end of the download, a window popped up saying this may be a malicious file. (Idownloaded it on my pc). I remember it also said the same thing when I downloaded it the first time too. I turned off the tablet, took the sd card out, put in pc and transferred the file, pulled out from pc, inserted in tablet and turned it on, still same thing with android synbol and red triangle. I tried to do a factory reset by following the steps above. I got it to say erasing userdata, then this is what it says in red, unrecoverable bootloader (ox19000008) I have no idea what this means?? Can anyone help me out with getting this back to stock ICS and recovery?? What do I do next?? Thanks
Now, when I do the same procedure but instead use the vol up button (instead of the down button), it comes up bootloader, then the version number, then starting fastboot usb protocol. I have no idea what this means??
Hi all,
I tried to root my Nexus 7 according to this youtube link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1cD-JXRGX8
During the step to install" super SU", i copied the the "unzipped" version of the file into the device, and couldn't install it as per video.
So i tried restating the device to try to copy the right file to the device, but now it just stucked at the loading screen (circle & square alternating, not the X screen) and i couldn't power it off too.
What should i do? Help please! Thanks!

Is it still recognised by the computer?
As in, if you plug it in with USB does it appear on your device manager?
Anyway, I would recommend using Wug's Toolkit (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389107) to sort you out.
It's pretty straight forward so you should be able to fix it easly.

No it's not recognized by my PC too. So the toolkit won't be useful too i presume?
Any other options? Just wait it out till the battery is dead?

Long press the power button and that will make it reboot, as soon as the screen turns OFF, hold down the volume down button and it will boot into the bootloader, use the volume button to select recovery, press the start button to go into recovery. In recovery (TWRP) click on wipe then do a factory reset. If it is off, press and hold volume down and power button together and that will get you to the bootloader screen.

This whole rooting process confuse me. So you're saying after doing this, just start over the rooting process as per youtube link again or continue the step where i did wrong?
P/S is it easier to root using that rootkit as per post above?

You're two thirds of the way there. You supposedly have the bootloader unlocked, you can see that when it boots up at the "Google" screen the lock will be unlocked, It will also say unlocked in the bootloader screen. And you should have TWRP installed if you tried to flash supersu. So.. at this point, you need to flash the supersu "zip" in TWRP. Before you start making any changes I would recommend making a backup in TWRP.

What you are using is part of the android sdk (adb/fastboot), the platform-tools folder with the usb drivers moved into it, not really a toolkit. I've never used a toolkit so I can't say a lot about them, I have the complete sdk installed, you were using part of it. Were you able to boot into recovery and do a factory reset?
You should not have followed that guide.
1st: Go to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053. Download the zip. DO NOT UNZIP.
2nd: Make sure that ADB is set up on your computer. To download, go to https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html. Follow the instructions to install. Open the SDK (should be in C\development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\, or whereever you installed, it is an execultable file. It should have a little green android logo next to it, and it is called "SDK Manager". It will take a couple seconds to open. Once it has opened, install "Android SDK Platform-tools".
3rd: Move the Super SU zip into the C\development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\platform-tools, or wherever you installed the platform-tools. It should be inside the SDK folder. Just paste the zip there.
4th: Boot your Nexus 7 into recovery. Push and hold the power button and volume down button at the same time and boot into the bootloader.
5th: Boot into recovery. Do so by pressing the power button for a while, and eventually it will shut off, as mentioned above.
6th: Press and hold power button and volume down to boot into bootloader. Once in the bootloader, push the volume down button until recovery is selected.
7th: Boot into recovery by pressing the power button.
8th: In recovery, wipe the cache and dalvik under the advanced wipe in the wipe menu. Go back and click install. Click "apply from sideload", or something like that, I forgot the exact wording. Connect your tablet to your computer through a USB cable.
9th: Go back to your computer. Go to C\development\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64-20131030\sdk\ or wherever you installed the sdk. Press shift, and then right click on the folder that says "platform-tools". In the menu, click "open command window here".
10th: Copy the exact name of the supersu zip file in the platform-tools folder.
11th: In the command window type: adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip
12th: Press enter. The name of the super su file may not be exactly that, but similar to it.
13: Reboot your tablet.
I don't know if you are a noob, or very experienced, so I made this as noob-friendly as posisble, sorry if I offended you in any way. Here are some pictures.
I did manage to boot into bootloader screen 7 the option to start, but same thing happen, it still stucked at the "4 colors" circle screen. Problem is guys i couldn't get the PC to recognise my tablet even in the bootloader screen. What should i do now?

Ok i can boot to recovery mode and get to TWRP. But as my post above the superSU is not in zipped form, what should i do then? And i couldn't copy the zipped verison into the tablet as my PC won't recognise the tablet. Do i choose wipe to start all over again from scratch? (assuming that's what wipe will do?) or browse into subfolder of superSU "i.e. app, bin, etc, xbi" and install form there manually? Dam im confused without knowing any basic of rooting...I thnk you're the closest to understanding where i am now, please help! Thanks!

Try and do a factory reset. Just remember a factory reset is not a restore and it will not put your device back to the way it was before you tried to root. A factory reset will wipe the cache and data, not the system. Any changes to the system, kernel or recovery that you made will still be there after a factory reset. Go ahead and dot a reset and let's see if that will get your N7 to boot up. And we can go from there.

Anyway... getting supersu installed is a non-issue if you can't get it to boot up. When you were trying to download supersu what you were looking for was the installable zip at Chainfires thread."CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP: http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu."

Nah i was just using the SuperSU zip i downloaded as per youtube link. The problem is my PC cant detect my tablet and i can't do sh**t!
Any manual hardware reset option on N7?
If a factory reset didn't clear it up you might be able to get away with just flashing the system image. Long pressing won't make it reboot?
I'll tell you how the tablet is right now, and hopefully you have some ideas where to go from here.
Atm, when i turn on and off the tablet.
but when i turn it on, it will go straight to the google screen with lock image at the bottom, then it will just stuck there
I tried going to recovery mode, and it won't come up with TWRP , and after a black screen, it will go back to boot screen
Tried "restart bootloader", did nothing too, just gone back original boot screen .
So now what? Gosh did i just break my brand new N7?

Bro,

@ How To Reboot to Recovery mode
- Keep holding Vol down + power (Side key) - As soon as device warning screen appears, keep holding Vol Up - with USB Connected to PC is important
then flash KETAN Rom...
this is from my experience. so it will work
take care. staY safe...
Just got this phone, bootloader is already unlocked, but trying to figure out how to get TWRP + LineageOS on it. Do you HAVE to flash Dr. Ketan's ROM for all this to work? I keep trying to just flash TWRP with latest R firmware installed and it will boot to TWRP at first, but once I reboot to system it just gets stuck on Samsung logo and won't go past that
Hi,
If your Galaxy Note 10 Plus is stuck on the boot screen, there are a few things you can try to recover your device without losing data:
Boot into recovery mode: Press and hold the power button, volume down button, and Bixby button (if your device has one) until the Samsung logo appears. Then release the buttons and use the volume down button to navigate to "Recovery mode" and press the power button to select it.
Wipe the cache partition: Once in recovery mode, navigate to "Wipe cache partition" and select it. This will wipe the cache files on your device but will not delete any personal data.
Boot into safe mode: Press and hold the power button until the Samsung logo appears, then release the power button and press and hold the volume down button. Continue to hold the volume down button until the device finishes booting. When in safe mode, all third-party apps will be disabled, and you can determine if any of them are causing the issue.
If none of the above steps work, you may try factory resetting your device. However, this will erase all data on the device, so make sure to backup your important files before proceeding.
If none of the steps work, you may need to flash the stock firmware on your device. This process is more complex and requires technical knowledge.
It's recommended to seek help from a professional technician if you are not familiar with the process.
