Hello,
I have a great problem with my Motorola. I installed battery icon mod without reading for which phone it's made and used it. Now I can't use my phone, because it's stopping at this logo before system. I had Cyanogenmod 7 (last nightly before RC), but when I destroyed it by this application first thing I did was wipe. After it nothing has changed, so I tried again and I flashed it with normal 2.2 Nordic but - as I "predicted" - nothing has changed again, but this time system was stopping at Android logo, not Cyanogenmod logo. I tried to flash again - nothing. The device can be charged (there appears this battery).
What should I do?

Go into the stock recovery and wipe data. Then re-flash the sbf.
I did it already, but I forgot, that I can do wipe after flashing the device I thought about it and did it - everything is working. Sorry for useless thread.
Regards.
I wanted to ask at the same time. What if i can't enter stock recovery. My phone's rooted , slightly overclocked , and i can't download any apps , i can't do factory reset , and even when i'm trying to enter it , the android pic would appear with that "danger - triangle". What should be done?

The triangle IS the stock recovery! when you see the triangle with the little android dude, hit both up and down volume at the same time. This will bring up a menu that will allow you to do a factory wipe.
And another question. I've installed custom recovery , and it said that install was succsesful , but when I apply recovery boot , it just reboots my phone , or lefts screen blacked out, at which case i have to turn on my phone by removing and applying battery.

Not sure I understand the questions, but I'll take a stab at it anyway:
Since we have a locked bl, the custom recovery does not overwrite the stock recovery.
As far as I know, the only way to get in to custom recovery, is to push the vol down when the blue light goes on during the boot cycle.

If it was a first reboot after installing Custom Recovery than USB Debbug should be off...
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

1. remove your battery
2. reinsert it
3. go in stock recovery by pressing power and volume down button at the same time.
4. when (!) this sign appears press volume down and up at the same time.
5.choose clear data
6.choose clear cache
7. flash any froyo rom
8. root it
9. install 2nd init (preferably 1.4)
10. reboot twice
11. install cm7.1 by choosing update (CM 7.1) from zip
12. install google apps
13. reboot

I don't think the guy has 2nd-init installed properly. Or the rooting was not done correctly. He must go into the stock recovery to perform the wipe/clear before he can proceed on flashing another sbf. I would suggest the OP to flash any froyo 2.2.2 then.
Rooting and CWM could easily get ruin if one doesn't install it properly. Next time please confirmed root is working by installing apps that required root access before attempting installing CWM. Suggesting 2nd-init v1.9 is good to start with as it fairly stable which also come build-in custom recovery.
he posted that he can not enter stock recovery. This is caused (probably) by a bad sbf flash. I would try flashing the sbf you said that you actually got to boot. A properly flashed sbf will give you stock recovery. Pull battery for 30 seconds re insert it, then hold vol- and power the phone on. Continue to hold vol- for 5 seconds or so. If you insert your battery and the phone automatically starts to boot then it is too late and you should have already been holding down vol- in which case you would want to press and continue to hold vol- prior to inserting the battery.

any ideas ppl ??
I have seen in the past, people who report successful sbf flashing with rsd but still no boot or recovery. None that I tried or anyone else tried to help ever got their phones to boot. You are in a bootloop after flashing a sbf because you need to wipe in stock recovery, BUT you don't have stock recovery! There is only so much that you can do without having recovery when you are in bootloop. Not to rain on your parade but I honestly believe it is some sort of hardware issue. If RSD reports that all CG md5 checksum's match after it flashes then you should have stock recovery. But you don't????? I think it is hardware
I'm begining to start thinking your rsdlite might be the root cause here.
You might need to try another PC to flash or trying another rsdlite version.
Were you flashing this in sbf format??

I thought of this too however his situation isn't the first of its kind and other people with the same problem tried multiple combo's of RSD ver #s and different pc's with no success. Plus I would think if it were RSD problem it wouldn't reports a successful flash and then verify the flashed CG md5's. But I say definitely give it a shot on multiple different computers with multiple OS's! When I was having problems with RSD I started using sbf_flash in linux with GREAT success. Unfortunately this never helped anyone else with this problem! But anything is worth a shot.

Its not seem to be h/w problem, as its a brand new phone from box....
But i took phone home, gonna install new rsd and will try on other pc.
I will post results.
As i read more ppl with same problem.
I will post later details of what i hD in the phone before, maybe someone can identify the original region and sfb phone came with
o.k
i got some progress...
i installed on a reformated laptop , new rsd 5.5
installed drivers , and tested flashing the orange 112 version.
phone is powered up after flash and goes to recovery .
i then wiped all and wait , phone is powered up.
but after about 10-20 secs it reboots.
i then wiped again , and flashed nordic 2.2.2 version.
phone is powered up , also recovery and wipe.
phone kkep rebooting after few secs from full turn on.
i can access menu .
i guess this is better then not booting and no recovery.
what should i try now to fix the reboots ?
o.k

hmm. just seems weird that RSD would flash successful, verify CG md5s as "match" after flashing and still be the cause of the problem. I guess stranger things have happened! CRAPPY MOTOROLA SOFTWARE

btw ,on recovery (stock) i getting all the time
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
????
anyhow , i folowed the guide in first stickly, i'll finish it exactly
How to fix it:
Download this SBF and Flash it
Root your Phone
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery
Download and install this Nandroid Backup
Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache
After wiping, turn off your phone
Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode
Flash this Fixed SBF
Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.
You WONT be able to install full SBFs of any Éclair or Froyo since these Androids have lower CG Versions.
**NOTE*: I just rephrased the original post since it can be a bit confusing, it is linked as source below.
**NOTE2**: If you are using a non-Chinese defy, DO NOT USE THE CAMERA FLASH while on the Chinese rom, it WILL kill your LED.
Source: ((Original post here))
How to Install CM7 after Installing a Full Gingerbread SBF: Ok, first of all do all the steps above on "Installed full Gingerbread SBF and can’t go back to another rom"
Root your Defy (Using SuperOneClick 1.7 and not 1.9).
Install SystemRecovery from GoAPK. If you install 2nd init, you'll just get into a boot loop and have to start over.
Reboot to recovery. Do a factory wipe, then do the cache wipe.
Install CM7 .Zip and then gapps zip file. DO NOT wipe again, you'll just go back to 2.2.2 CEE (if you accidentally do this, you can pick up again from step 3).
profit!

Well, after long play with it.... Something is realy weird!
No metter what rom im trying to flash, orher then the jordan one that worked, both 2.3.3 i try before now give me black screen, the 2.3.4 give me phone restart every 10 secs. And i cant seem to install cwm without hqving boot loops . ...
Ideas?
Delete all drivers and redownload and install then uninstall RSD Lite and reinstall to 4.9 ( Google it) then reboot your pc.. dont connect your defy yet do it later as its says in my little guide
then open RSD Lite and boot your defy to bootloader (Power + vol up) dont Connect defy yet.
choose nordic 2.2.2 in to RSD Lite then connect your Defy and let it install drivers.. then Press Start...
that worked for me wen i got lost and no one told me what to do soo i indprovise
So I have a rooted HTC desire HD with Jellytime on it. All was working great till recently when it would shut down by itself. Today after I wanted to test a new boot screen from Rom toolkit I restarted it and while the boot screen worked great after it finished I see a black screen (backlit so I know its on). I tried going to the bootloader but after I try to go to wipe cache for example it restarts by itself and it gets stuck after the boot screen... Any ideas?
ok an update seems that if I go to the recovery via down button and power it lets me do actions. All this time I went to recovery mode when phone was shut down and plugged into a power source. I did a wipe cache and now it says android is upgrading and now it finished saying starting apps. Hope it didnt get stuck there because it keeps doin the cycle animation but doesn't do anything else.. I ll leave it be for a bit like this... :/ Had to restart it by removing the battery after 20 minutes... same problem as before still...
another update... just before it goes to a black screen when the boot screen finishes an orange light appears just briefly (where the green light appears when it charges)

I flashed the rom again and wiped data and all seem to be ok now. I ll update this because I saw many people have similar problems... thanks in advance for any help!
Have the same problem.
I bought this with the problem that it keeps rebooting all the time.
I unlock the bootloader with htcdev,root with Easy Ace Tool,flashed the new cyanogenmod 11,
but did the same .
At least 3-4 rebooting before open normally.
I said that it must be ROM issue and flashed the KK-LegacyCarbon-4.4.
Did the things should be...flash the ROM and then the boo.img separately.
Now i have black screen and the only screen i am able to get is bootloader and the recovery 4EXT.
I reflased cyanogenmod back but nothing happened,any thoughts???
here's what happened, the phone started freezing and restarting every 5 mins, I uninstalled some apps thinking that's what's causing it, I used it for around 10 minutes and it was fine, installed the latest security patch update, restarted and everything looked fine.
plugged it in, saw it had restarted again and it was stuck on the Samsung Galaxy A50 secured by Knox screen,
rn: I can't enter recovery mode, (the phone won't shut down and releasing the volume down and holding volume up thing doesn't work)
I can only enter download mode, Connected to Odin, flashed the latest firmware and it passed successfully, but still it gets stuck and won't boot.
any ideas?:crying:

cuz I've heard it's a somewhat common problem in the A50 for the hard drive/storage to go corrupt.

I am having a very similar problem to yours, so I will follow this thread. I was using my phone two days ago and it simply turned itself off and since then I am stuck in the logo screen. When the phone is loading I have no indication whatsoever of the battery percentage at all. I still can access option and factory reset and wipe cache (unlike you, apparently - but it does nothing for me). This simply does not help. I end up back at the logo Samsung Galaxy A50 screen. I have downloaded two different firmware... android 9 and 10 from Samsung mobile, and have used Odin to flash it. The process goes through ok and without errors. I get the pass message and the message that the phone is being updated. Then it is time for the logo screen again and form then on the phone simply does not start. I am lost. Can anyone help?

You know... I am not really sure. The only different thing I did was to accept to instal a new firmware one or two days prior. I am inclined to think that was it. Anyway... I tried to flash Android 10... Android 9 (both via Odin) and did not work. The support team instructed me to do the hard reset a couple of times ... and wipe cache and nothing. Today I sent my phone to Samsung assistance since it is still under the guarantee because that is what they thought I should do. I'll keep you posted. Hope you can get yours fixed soon.

yh I installed that update too and this happened later the same night.
unfortunately for me all the shops n services are currently shut down because of the Co-Vid situation so i have to wait for now.
thanks for sharing, lemme know what happens.
I've had these same problems before. When flashing with Odin, don't populate the last slot with anything (the HOME_CSC slot). Flash it to the device without auto reboot on, restart the device manually and hold vol up + down to get to blue scrern, then unlock bootloader. Let it restart, then reflash ROM.
