wanted to update my phone to 2.3 but i rooted and flashed the liberty 1.0 and was looking for a way to go back since Rom Manager did not save my back up so i went to this thread TBH & MyDroidWorld Present: Droid 2 (2.3.20) Triple Threat and followed these steps without uploading anything on to the sd card dumb move i know !
To install the above files you need to follow these directions:
1) boot phone into recovery
2) go to mounts and storage
3) format system
4) mount system
5) install zip from sdcard
6) choose zip from sdcard
there was obviously nothing in there to load so i went back to reboot system and now my phone will not make it pass the first boot screen if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated !
It keeps on looping in boot animation i got it to a screen displayed like this once dont know how though ..
Bootloader
D2.37
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB
and i know how to get here ....
Android system recovery <3e>

apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

caution triangle with the ! and the droid symbol in it !
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
But i don't know what to do after i've tried wipe data/factory reset = nothing
Ive tried reboot system now = nothing
Ive tried apply sdcard:update.zip = failed to verify whole-file signature
I am clueless ... even if you can't help maybe spread my post to see if anyone out there can Thanks !
for a noob i figured this out rather quick.. I was stuck in boot animation and i held the center of the volume keys before holding the power button which brings u to...

my defy stuck at infinite boot, cant access in recovery mode pls help.. thanks
I'm facing the same problem here, after flash full sbf rom, it's possible to flash again, but with same result, i can't wipe since android won't start and i can't install clockwork.
any hint, clue or point for some documentation/tutorial is apreciated
thanks in advance
---------------------------------
this is what solve the problem for me:
boot in recovery : pull out the batterie, boot with volume down and power.
when you see the android and the triangle, volume down + volume up, when in recovery, wipe data and cache.
i have the folowing "warnings"
wipe data/factory reset:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/caller
wipe cache partition:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
the next boot took aprox 10 mins
hope this helps

hey, if you are stuck in an android logo, it means its the infinite boot-loop thing..
PLEASE make sure you are CORRECTLY trying to get into stock recovery or bootloader.
Here is what to do to get into recovery first:
1- turn off your phone (take the battery out and then put it back in)
2- press and OLD the volume DOWN button + power button
3- Motorola logo appears first, then after a few seconds an 'android ROBOT logo' appears
4- press volume UP and DOWN buttons at once, quickly
5- from the menu choose 'factory reset/wipe-format data'
6- then do 'wipe cache'
7- then do a reboot
see if it helps and you are able to start the phone normally
P.S. don't worry - a bootloop is a considerably easy thing to fix, at least i managed to fix mine yesterday.
good luck

Hi ! Are you sure you took the good rom for your defy ? Is it a regular defy or a + ? Because you need to have the good rom for the good defy version ( at least for gb rom). Then before installing the rom with the recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cahe (in advanced) and even data if you come from 2.x to 4.x. (same thing from 4.x to 2.x).
It would work

Thanks for this method even if I knew it. The first time I tried to flash a sbf it was awefull because nobody says it clearly. Wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery doesn't work at all I experimented it again yesterday.
Please specify me the good GBROM!

Hi here the one I use : http://www.partage-facile.com/V96TH...nfryortcee_p016_a016_hwp3_service1ff.sbf.html
PS : It's in French but just go on "telechargement gratuit (VITESSE NORMALE)" and then on "télécharger ce fichier"
Follow the steps given by your_login and you should end with a froyo ROM. After it's as usual to install a custom ROM (root , 2nd init, wipes...)
Also when you are in bootloop remove the battery and restart the phone. When there is the blue led with the M logo press volume down and then go into recovery > stable recovery. I think it's better than your method
My phone is bricked after flashing!

Hey
Today I was on Team Win Recovery Project v2.21 and I wanted to flash a new mod in however half way, I accidentally click on reboot now.
I already - Factory reset my device
- Wiped Dalvik Cache Directories
then tried to flash in one of my rom i was flashing in but I got an error then clear dalvik cache directories again. After I tried to reflash my rom but it failed again.After this I accidentally reboot my device and now it is stuck on a screen with "Reboot.." as the title. I can not restart the my nexus 7, touch any keys given (home and back). When I press/hold power, it comes up with a look.
I am wondering if there any way to fix this problem

Reboot into bootloader (hold power to turn off, as soon as it does hold vol down)
Install the android sdk if you haven't. Download a recovery image from clockworkmod.com, put the image in your /platform-tools folder. Open a command Window there
Fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img
Fastboot boot xxxx.img
Dl a rom
Put it in your platofrm-tools folder
Adb push romxxx.zip /sdcard/Download
Flash the ROM in recovery
Reboot

When I turn on my tablet now, it automatically open up ClockworkMod Recovery. I am able to properly install a rom (wipe all data then install rom from sd) but when i reboot my device it goes back into clockwordmod recovery. Any idea how to bypass automatically booting straight into recovery mood and booting into flashboot?
EDIT
i am unable to push new roms in
mis-post, my bad.
I gave my old phone Defy Red lens to a friend. He messed around with bootloader and now the OS does not see any internal storage so i can't install any bootloaders.
Can't acces custom bootloader.
I can only acces a recovery mode but my options are limited.
I did a full wipe and cache wipe from the recovery mod but i only managed to get inside os but all data resets everytime and there is no storage as stated before.
Please check attached photos for more information on build etc.
I tried RSD lite but it won't see phone while in recovery mode.
Any help is appreciated.

Bootloader is already in the phone, you must be talking about custom recovery. When you reboot your phone, a blue LED will light up. Immediately push volume down, then choose recovery->Teamwin recovery.
To enter bootloader, switch off your phone, then first press volume up then power button, keep them pressed until the screen lights up a little, then let them go. A screen appears, which is the bootloader. This is needed for RSDLite.
About your problem, download AROMA/full wiper zip. Go to custom recovery, then press install and choose the zip. Choose EXT4 and wipe system, data and cache. DO NOT REBOOT. After that, immediately flash a ROM+Gapps.
By the way, when you cleared data and cache in stock recovery (the one in the photo), they were formatted to ext3, which led to those problems.

Thanks, now I can get in teamwin recovery and in bootloader I will try to fix the phone now. Have a nice day!
AoA,
Guys my GS5 is rooted.
I am caught into a problem after installing custom fonts with a font installer. It just asked to reboot to apply the custom font.
After that mobile is stuck on samsung logo.
I have just tried to wipe the cache. Still no luck.
I don't want to factory reset the device as i have important data on mobile and i don't have backup.
There is a tutorial that shows a guide to unbrick the device with Font Unbricker.
But Adb on my pc does not detect the GS5 even when mobile is in recovery mode.
Please help me with this issue!
Update [Issue Resolved]
Well after few hours of wandering over the internet i got my cell phone working without flashing any ROM or Factory Reset.
I am just sharing the steps i took for anybody who may get into same trouble like me.
1. Install the CWM Philz Touch Recovery philz_touch_6.26.2-klte.tar via odin.
2. As i am not allowed to give direct link. Go to google and search "fix bootloop brick by custom fonts android" and go to first link of androidingdotcom.
3. Download the package from there.
4. Press Home + Volume UP + Power button to go into Recovery mode.
5. Go to Mount and Storage > and Mount System. It will change to unmount if Mount succeeded.
6. On Pc inside the folder you downloaded there will be a .bat file Auto Font Unbricker.bat
7. Double click and press any key
8. It will push all the default fonts into system/font folder.
9. Reboot. if you followed everything above properly. Issue will be resolved.
