Help...Defy stuck in bootloop

I have a stock 2.1 defy with the 2.51 rom (i think). all the mod i did was root the phone using super one click, the phone ran fine for a few months until i experimented with titanium backup and deleted google talk etc. i found out that (too late)doing this would cause the android market to stop downloading and updating my apps. To remedy my situation i tried installing google talk service.apk back to system apps. first by copying the file to my sd card and pushing it to the system file using terminal emulator. after rebooting my phone is now bootlooping. i tried removing the battery and just after i insert it it would go immediately into the bootloop phase. tried using recovery (volume down+power) and wipe cache and reset, still no go. last resort i tried is after wiping i tried installing cm7 but the installation was immediately aborted. please help, right now im close to tears, i didn't know that it was this hard to mod a defy. my previous phone was a wildfire and modding it was pretty easy.

What happens when you turn the phone on? Does it start in the bootloader? Is it stuck in Motorola Logo?

Try to wipe data/cache again and see what happens.
As well you might want to go ahead and download all tools needed to flash an sbf. Because if worst comes to worst your going to have to flash one

the phone turns itslef on automatically when i insert the battery, white moto logo first then bootloops in motoblur animation.i can go into bootloader mode by pressing up and power before inserting the battery. i just wished i hadn't played around with titanium backup. i already downloaded the necessary files to flash a new firmware. hope i learn to do it properly.

i tried wiping the cache/data numerous times under recovery mode to no avail. now im crossing my fingers that my battery isn't that drained for me to flash a new firmware.

You can also do the battery hack/trick

Hi I have the same problem,I just tried to flash the Barebone 1.5 ROM.
My Defy was stock,I just root it and made a backup with clockmod before I did as discribed here:
Installing (Rom wipes data/cache partitions)
1. Copy Barbones to sdcard: Barebones_15-signed.zip.
2. Boot into recovery (make a backup ?) and restore nandroid: 3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip.
3. Still in recovery, select install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> Barebones_15-signed.zip.
4. Reboot system, first boot will take time as it builds the dalvik cache; wait for the background to load, and enjoy Barebones.
- Use Easy Installer to install any apk's you feel are missing.
- Removed.Stock.Apps.zip
-- Removed Apps Must Be Copied To /system/app Manually - Remember To Set Permissions & Reboot
To downgrade back to Eclair; just flash the Eclair sbf you where using beforehand; thats it.

after Reboot it just shows Motorola,I can access Recovery Menu stock one and custom,tried wipe restore factory settings and wipe cache but nothing helped!

What version where you coming from ? Eclair or Froyo ?
Btw factory reset and wiping the cache doesnt do anything in these situations.
Did you restore the Nandroid provided ?
Also cant lie only thing I did not test was coming straight from an Eclair build.
I used the Korean Froyo sbf as a starting point; but I'm testing it now.

Got it alive again with this steps.
No wonder why u're stuck on motorola logo.
Let me break it down for you.
Make sure you have motodrivers installed or install them here.
And install the RSD Lite too Here
Turn off your phone, hit the power+volume up together.
Wait till u're in the bootloader.
Open the RSD Lite, u phone should be detected so u click on "..." select the .sbf u downloaded from here
And flash it.
Wait till is over, and your phone should be good again.

I used this .sbf
But I still don't know what went wrong,I did exactly as discribed in the TUT I postetd above!?

Well if you flashed that sbf you wont be able to downgrade back to Eclair anymore.
However; yes doing that will fix it.

Is it not good that I flashed this .sbf? I got the phone just 2 days ago I think it already had the newest firmware etc.!?
EDIT: But something is wrong with my Wlan connection it is very slow and always loses connection

I doubt it came with Froyo seeing as they are all leaked builds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 <- Read up
Just means you cant go back to Eclair.
Ok so you wifi is slow ? Are you even using my rom now; because you flashed 3.4.2_155-Stock.CEE_DEBLUR.sbf.
I cant see your phone so you have to tell me what your using.

Yes I just flashed the sbf nothing else,and before I just did what I read in the instructions from the Barebone 1.5 Thread.
1. Copy Barbones to sdcard: Barebones_15-signed.zip.
2. Boot into recovery (make a backup ?) and restore nandroid: 3.4.2_177-Nand.NORDIC_DEBLUR.zip.
3. Still in recovery, select install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> Barebones_15-signed.zip.
4. Reboot system, first boot will take time as it builds the dalvik cache; wait for the background to load, and enjoy Barebones.

I tried this sbf before 3.4.3_11-Stock.UKTmobile_BLUR but it always failed thats why I tried the other one

So your not using my rom now - the sbf overwrites everything.

Ok sorry Im a noob^^ I just wanted to have all this blur stuff removed etc and your rom seems just perfect for me.
I have problems now with the phone and I really wished I would never had tried this.
I cant boot into recovery mode anymore with clockworkmod, I rooted my phone again installed clockwork but the screen stays black after the Motorola Screen came up when I try to make a recovery boot with clockwork.
cause I wanted to restore the backup I did with clockworkmod before I messed it all up,would that make my phone like it was before or not!?

I doubt you will be able to get back to your backup simply cause I dont think its Froyo.
So do this:
1. Boot into bootloader (power + volume up).
2. Flash 3.4.2_155-Stock.CEE_DEBLUR.sbf again.
3. While its rebooting after flashing hold volume down to goto stock recovery.
4. Do a factory reset.
5. Root your device using superoneclick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913709
6. Reboot.
7. Install 2nd Init Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
8. Reboot twice (to finish installing recovery).
9. Reboot into recovery - wait for blue led then hit volume down.
10. At this point you can try to restore your backup or flash a rom of your choice.
If you try your backup and it does not work you will need to start this process over.

Ok thank you so much fritolays for your help! I will try this tomorrow and post back if I had success or not!
greetz!
EDIT: Couldn't wait to try it and it worked! I took the risk and tried to install your rom again (restoring my backup didn't worked anyways 'cause clockworkmod didn't find the backup but it was still in the same folder it got stored before) works like charm as far as I could test it. But now I really have to go to sleep!
Big thanks again fritolays without your quick help I would still try to get my Defy to work without any success! and THANKS! for this great rom!!!
EDIT2: I don't know why but I have problems with the phone since yesterday when I first flashed another ROM,I always have Network Connection Problems now! I can't download anything from the market if I get to the market! 'cause normally it says no network connection! It worked fine for like 20minutes after I got it to work with ur method u told me above then it suddenly took very very long to download an app. Never had these Problems before,I also have very bad Phone Signal and most of the Time I can just make Emergency Calls and I turned Internet Connection OFF for mobile network (like I did before when it was stock) but sometimes I still can go online with Wlan turned off so this is really ****ed up 'cause I have no internet plan with my mobile phone!
But with your ROM the phone is really flying,I did a Benchmark Test before and got 1100 Score and by just putting your ROM on my Defy without any overclocking or something like that I got 1275 Score!
EDIT3 I found the direction it was clockworkmod/backup/ now
I did a wipe factory reset and a cache wipe and now restoring it I really hope everything is like it was before all this!
Ok this got me to the Bootloop Problem again so I did again all the steps u told me and instead of restoring ur ROM I restored my backup wich was now in the right direction,but it is also ended up in Bootloop!
EDIT4 If I try all this with ur ROM it works,is it because of the Froyo .sbf I flashed that I can't get my backup working!?
I get this Error Message after my phone booted with ur ROM maybe that is one of the Problems I have? "Sorry,the process android.process.media got suddenly closed try it again" I had to translate it so maybe the message is a bit different in english but thats what it says generally.
So everything worked great again,I go into Market to download TitaniumBackup (like I always did) then as always I apply the new Busybox Install TitaniumBackup suggests everytime I start it and the Wifi gets slow already by downloading Busybox. Then I tried to go to the Market again and Network Error, I get the feeling it has something to do with this app or the Busybox installation TitaniumBackup is doing!?
I don't know what it is but it alwys messes something in my phone up and I get Wifi Probs!??
EDIT5 I tried another ROM now "xd1 ** new ** ver 1.2" and everything worked fine! I downloaded Quadrant and a Antivirus App just to test it and everything was alright so I tried TitaniumBackup again (the Free Version as always) and guess what the download got fast till 42% then stuck and now I can't download anything again from Market it is very slow and then the downloads got canceled! wtf is wrong with this app!? I need it for all my Apps 'cause I did a backup with this app but since I flash custom ROMS it always does this bull**** when I download it from market!?

update..got my defy unbricked by following Higgsy's step by step method. installed a 2.51 SEA sbf in the process. love the phone without blur. now im thinking of upgrading to a froyo rom, which do you guys think is the best? based from reading the posts here i'm more confused than ever. sbf's here and 2nd init that??? not to mention a fixed sbf?? i really can't understand these terms and the more i read the more i got confused. Could you guys help me in laymans terms the proper process for upgrading to froyo and which rom is you think is best??

no sound, please help

I'm writing because I found no solution to this or someone to address this. are there not many having this problem?
After 7.0 update my alarm is not ringing and if I go in the settings to change the alarm sound the app fc, also the YouTube app says "something went wrong" when trying to play a video.
After restart the sound is back for some time, then bug repeats.
I activated touch sound so I get a warning when I need to reboot, but the touch sound is not affected, also the music app is working, but no alarm or notification.
Whipped cash, installed Oos 4.0.3 via recovery (stock, locked bl, no root)
Currently on 7.1.1 Oos 4.1.3
Someone please help
Starting to think that I will have to sent the phone back to OnePlus...

get the full 4.1.3 zip, and on stock recovery wipe everything not just cache...
then back to the main menu on recovery and select install via USB (or something liket hat) and sideload the full rom from computer , after sideload boot to system and for good measures do a factory reset.

Thanks for the reply ! - I will try your suggestion tomorrow if I get the time -
Maybe it's a stupid question but: is there ever a need to wipe internal storage? or wipe everything means just system data ?
plus: could the encryption mess things around ?

Encryption may cause issues, but I don't think your problem is related to that, something in the update process went wrong I think so you got something corrupted on the either the system.or data partition , so Everytime you install a new ROM it does but the issue stays, the only way to know for sure is a clean install, and the easiest way to that is what I told you, it can also be done by fastboot where you wipe everything with fastboot then sideload , but to be safe better stick with the recovery method... I don't thing internal storage could cause an issue, but I personally from 7.0 to 7.1.1 I did wipe it , better safe than sorry, and it elemenates any possibilities so if you can do that it's better

Weirdest thing, I did not get the chance to reinstall the system yet, but since I posted this the bug did not reaper. I suspect an app was misbehaving and it got updated...I will wait and see.

Just sideloaded, will report how it goes if anyone faces the same problem

New OTA Out, should solve this, it seems

Crash issues with Oppo Find7a

hi there!
I previously had colors 2.1.5.i version installed in my Oppo find7a. I was quite happy for quite a long time but lately I had many issues .SIM card stop working and keep on having continuous crashes when running apps so I uninstalled and reinstalled colors again and again. Finally I went back to the factory setting version and rooted the phone but now I am having issues with more crashes, continuous app logout and login and lack storage (it does not allow me installing many apps even if i keep on uninstalling apps and moving them to the SD).
Could you recommend me the best solution and best Colors version or even a different ROM for oppo find7a so I do not have any of these issues anymore?
Thanks in advance!

would it work for find7a also?
full wipe means .. first, factory reset (data, cache and Dalvik), then system and Dalvik cache or all at once? Just wanna make sure all works fine this time cos takes quite a lot of time the whole process that I've done already a few times
Thanks a lot!

First make a full backup to your sdcard of your current OS so your never left out, I just always wipe everything but raw SD and one other raw partition(data or something) and also not the sdcard I wipe everything apart from those 3, make sure before you make a backup the location is your sdcard, this is a step by step guide.
FIRST INSTALL ALL FHE THE ZIPPS I MENTIONED BEFORE AND PLACE THEM ON YOUR SDCARD
1. Boot into recovery
2. Make full backup to sdcard (this takes about half an hour) after you finished the backup just check if it worked, photos video's and music are not included only the apps your system and all the data
3. wipe everything apart from the aforementioned partitions
4. Flash the setup lvm zip
5. Reboot recovery
6. Flash nameless rom zip
7. Flash opengapps 7.1 arm micro/Pico
8. Reboot phone

unfortunately all went bad! nothing worked this time!
everything failed this time so I had to go back to colors version 2.1.5i and switch partitions again to avoid storage issues.
Failing message was something like this: "storage: can't find table partition". I could not even root this time. They only thing I did not do was "wipe data, internal and sd card", the rest I wiped first, then it did not allow me to go any further.
Let's see for how long this solution works. I am starting to think that this issue has to do with programmed obsolescence rather than ROMS issues.
Oppo support have ignored me so far. I sent a couples of messages a couple of weeks ago and no answer yet. Maybe they do not speak english cos I could not find any english community. They are mostly asian http://community.oppo.com/id/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5645&extra=&page=1
Do you have any other suggestion? I am tempted to buy another phone if turns to be headache again

I've got a folder on gdrive https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxOXFnbm6PEGLXNxU1A0dzktTFU
It has a both a spectrum 1.3 zip (download this to your sdcard) and a recovery tool in it, you need to install it on your PC and connect your phone in fastboot then follow the on screen instructions and install the stock color OS recovery when your there try to install the spectrum zip, this has worked for me in the past, the problem with Oppo support is that they probably won't help you because your bootloader is unlocked.

hi there! I was giving more time to give you a summary.
Well! it was good while it lasted. Only 24 hours I enjoyed Spectrum. After that first warning message was "google services stopped", then slowly phone started going slower and slower till finally cant start anymore. Now if i restart, it remains at "oppo logo screen". I had the feeling that this was going to happen at some moment but caught me unattended. Furthermore, while I was trying to go back to recovery mode, though I left all files in internal and a copy at external memory, just in case, now at recovery mode cant find any of these files. Meaning I am really stuck at this point and I can't go any further since internal and external memory cant be accessed in recovery mode to reinstall. Moreover, computer cant transfer files to internal or external cos cant initiate well and does not allow me transfering.
I need to find how to make internal or external memory recognised by my computer so that i can transfer files and recover again or a way to read those hidden directories.. any suggestions? any option from the recovery installer? I tried option 3 to install openrecovery twrp but cant find .zip files and computer still cant transfer. This is really killing me :S

I just wipe data and cache and got lucky to enter some sort of Spectrum version with no access to storage at all but some miracle internal memory inside (2-3G) that I can not access or see at all. It's working for a few apps only cos complaint when i tried the ones I had before. I think Ill keep it as a back up phone and tomorrow i decided to buy some not very expensive phone (150-200 euros) to have my life back and maybe i buy a better phone (maybe Oppo) in my next trip to Asia. I really appreciate your super help. Hope one day I can treat you for a beer

Its because your internal storage is encrypted,
Use twrp from hendibul (or something similarly named) or format your data(not wipe data).
BTW you should ask this question in respected thread. Or search before.

If you can afford to loose all your data,
Go to twrp then wipe, there is one more option beside advanced wipe, wipe data or format data, press that, type yes,
You will loose all your content in internal storage.
Move rom zip from pc and flash the rom.
Note:you should be on official twrp. Not on unofficial one.
Once i messed up too much with this and flashing with qfil was the last solution, but it will work 100000%,cant say if its necessary or not.

Can i backup my data to my pc then restore it back.

I dont think this will work as all the files you will backup is already encrypted.
Though you may search more before trying.

Thank you

yes it seems to not work at 1st on first boot! doesnt detect storage 0mb
but when i hit wipe/advanced wipe/data then
hit repair change file system then hit change file system
to ext2 then back ext2
it detects internal storage
but when i booted into android it wanted to encrypt data and wipe it.
so i manually wiped data in recovery then rebooted an bam it works
an it still detects my internal storage........yay thank you so much
it just doesnt detect my micro sd card

I'll look into trying to fix it but my SD card words so that's weird

Ok so I tried it on another friend of mines phone and his sd card and everything is working fine so I'm really confused why yours wouldn't work????

Me too I really don't understand it.

I'll keep looking into it for you...I wish other people would let me know how it's working on there device

I didn't realize people were still having issues with twrp on the tmo/Metro variant. Id have to double check with Aeorsyn but im pretty sure we posted one somewhere in this forum that works...at least for me...perfectly with the exception of the time being off every now and then. It flashes zip and image files, makes backups, restores, wipes, works with twrp themes, reads internal and external sd, and even usb via otg. I've been running it for a couple months now without issue. Is there something im missing that people are trying to do that I'm just blind too? Lol if anyone wants a link to the twrp I'm using just lemme know.

Twrp deletes stock rom
Maybe you can help me out, maybe im missing something. I have the g5 (hannah) MetroPCS variant. Everytime I flash TWRP it deletes my system. Ive tried 3 other TWRPs with no luck. One way or another I cannot boot, (bad key). Then I reflash my stock rom and try again. Ive tried with and without allowing system modifications with no avail. However when I first flash and boot into recovery there is a screen asking to decrypt. it asks to enter a password but the screen doesnt respond to touch for the pattern dots. Does that decrypting need to happen for TWRP to work correctly? Thanks

I used Sir's (THANKS!) twrp and just booted it without flashing,(worked great!) it boots fine but asks for unlock pattern and doesn't accept the one I have set, (I'm guessing this is where decrypt.zip comes into play, but unsure), I hit cancel and KEPT READ ONLY , then made individual backups of boot + system + system.image
I also get the Bad key however I believe this is normal after unlocking the bootloader.. If you wait a bit it should still eventually boot.. I'd like to try to make a boot animation..

turns out its not deleting the rom. its a problem with the boot image or encryption . When i first boot into twrp i cannot see internal storage. if i change my partition from ext4 then back to ext2 it shows up and the decrypt.zip is successful. however when i reboot phone it hangs at motorola screen. I then went back to fastboot and flashed stock boot.img and the phone almost booted up. I got hung at decryption unsuccessful perform factory reset. I dont know why this is so complicated any suggestions.

kinda sucks i go in for surgery and wake up and find a new twrp for hannah good luck ill be deleting my guide instead of working on twrp bye

Good to see work being done on the device!
