[Q] motorola defy does not start

Hi ..
I had updated defy to the latest cnmod nighty version. ( 110410 ). Eveerything was working fine. i played with the phone for the entire day. video acceleration was awesome and played gt racing.
Suddenly there was problem with wifi connection. I decided to restart the phone. Choose the reboot menu . and now the phone is stuck with the moto logo on startup. Nothing happens after that.
When the bluelight blinks after the android menu , when I press the down button , I get android bootmenu v1.0.5 (By cynongen defy team and galaxy) ,
i was not able to do anything from here. It has these menus :
1)Boot : boot is set to 2nd init
2)cpu settings
3)recovery : in the recovery menu , If i choose latest recovery or stable recovery , I get error in /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh (Result: no such file or directory) , and when I choose stock recovery , the phone restarts and is stuck with an exclamation mark )
4)tools: I could understand what to do here.
When nothing did work , I pressed both up and down button after changing boot to normal. there i cleared some cache or something , cleared everything that I could.
After all this my phone is in the same place. A moto logo on startup.
Please can someone help me . This is my first android phone and also the first costly phone I bought and I did something nasty on the first day itself.
i am a normal end user who knows nothing more than gui.
thanks in anticipation

hey
flash a stock 2.2.2 with RDS from bootloader
you gonna need latest defy drivers for windows plus a stable froyo i guess
google this "how to unblick a bricked defy"
let us know what you do and what changes

are you sure this is a case of bricked defy. I had read in many places it is very difficult to brick defy.

its not bricked
but that is what you need to search for to get the solution
i did so too

What "Natsikap" said.
Clear Data/Cache.
Flash Official Froyo 2.2.2 using RSDLite, Use your region correct Froyo (If you are from India use SEA15 Stock ROM -Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy). Everything will be Stock normal. Read everything in the wiki before you flash anything, esp read the "How to get back to Normal in case things go awry" part you will save yourself the High BP!

thanks all for your support.
i have installed the orginal manufactuer android froyo
and flashed it later with cynogenmod 7.1 for defy. The latest stable one that was released yesterday
One more question:
Should I unroot this cynogenmod .. so that I don't mess something.

congratulations
you sorta came from behind and am sorta left behind
question: does the 7.1 have any wifi issues? working properly?
tell me so i can make the jump too
thanks bro

sorry for the late reply..
no it does not have any issues.. at least i could'nt find any.
wifi was working like a charm. used it for around 2 hours ..
Couple of questions..
1) i don't lke the menus flying into the screen. How can i change this animation to the normal fade animation that came with original os.
2)should i unroot my cynogenmod should that i don't cripple it while playing with settings or someother way.

Do not unroot CM7. Make site you make a backup in recovery, that way if you mess something up you can just restore it. As for animations, go to settings> cyanogen settings> display, you should be able to change the animations. If not try spare parts app.
Swyped from my MIUI Defy

i have defy plus.....i havnt rooted it ...its working on original 2.3.6
my phone is starting but power button not working.....when i put it on charing lock screen comes to life but touch not working..
sometimes it remains on moto logo
please help

[Q] Problems after official ICS update- need help on rooting and else

Hi everybody, first of all sorry for my english.
I bought an A500 on ebay a couple of weeks ago, OS was 3.2 factory, I was thinking about trying to gain root permissions and maybe install a custom rom but tablet seems to work ok and I decided to wait for official ICS release, which arrived yesterday.
After the upgrade I noticed, as others did, strange behavior of wifi connection (strong to leak) and I cannot add any widget on home screen (keeping tapped shows only choices for changing theme).
At this point I guess it would be wise to try and install a custom rom, but I’m not confident and I really need help from the start.
I understood I need root permissions, but to gain them I have to downgrade.
Can anybody please tell me what to do, using dumb-proof terms ?
Many many thanks in advance.

update: i tried to downgrade to android 3, i think i bricked it ...
after the update i get a red error "Boot verified failed" .....

Probably wont help much now that you've bricked it, but to add a widget you need to be in the app menu and switch to the widget tab. And you should try looking at the wifi settings for default action when sleeping. For some reason, mine changed to always disconnect from wifi after turning off.

many thanks for your answer

[Q] NAE Slowdown?

I have recently installed about 2 weeks ago the stock 4.4.2 (NAE) rom. (From this thread: [ROM] [STOCK] [NAE] [4.4.2] Stock Rooted NAE Rom - Yes it boots)
Everything has gone great, all radio's, and everything works fine.
Then I Installed the Google Now Launcher. Everything was ok for about a day or two, then I've been getting slowdowns returning to the home screen. To the point, when I press the home key, it sits on the last application's exit screen that I was trying to exit, until the phone falls asleep. When I wake it, then it is back at the home screen.
This happens on both the Google Now Launcher, and TouchWiz (Stock Launcher)
Is there anything I could clear out on the phone?
I have 600mb free on the device memory, so I don't think it's from having too many apps on the phone, but at this point I don't know.

Try this

Why not try booting to recovery, clearing out the cach and the dalvik.
And also go into manage apps and delete the caches for them too - things like internet, facebook, tapatalk/xda, books/magazines etc.

[Q] (Q) Screen stays on when I miss phone call or msg

Hello.
I posted the question in the Q & A thread but I fear my question got lost in between the many that are asked.
I own a rooted S4 from Rogers Canada, which used to be on Alpha Infamous rom, an old version like the 5.0 from at least 6 months ago. Everything runned fine until recently. The phone started giving me some trouble. After missing a phone call while I didn't had the phone on me, the screen stayed on showing missed call until I happened to see the phone and pressing power to close it. The same started happening with message at about the same time.
Since I thought I might have installed a dumb apk on gplay that messed something in the settings, I went to get a new Rom. Alpha having no development for a long time, I thought I'd try something else.
I have tried both omega v25 and [23/03][4.4.2][XXUFNBH]< Echoe v18 > [07/02][4.3][NA4]< Echoe v12.1 "The Final Bean">, the latest which I run at the moment. Both gave me the same trouble with the screen staying powered after missing a msg or a phone call.
Since I don't know how to fix it, I was wondering if anyone could help me out ?
I'm no pro at rooting/flashing but I did the wipe dalvik, cache and everything before flashing both of the new rom. I didn't update the bootloader as I didn't remember clearly how or if it was necessary but the rom in general runs great so I figured out it was ok this way. The only trouble I have is with the screen as previously stated. I didn't flashed the modem either as I seem to have great download speed (without testing, simply feeling it).
So as of now, I'm running Echoe V18 with most of the bloatware disabled in aroma installer.
What can I do to fix this? I've tried googling but nothing close to my trouble came as result. Neither could I find an answer here, there's so many result I might have simply missed it.
Thanks for the help!

Anyone's able to help out ? My question is getting phased out but still has no answer. Please ?
