Hello there!
As you mentioned that you are not able to see other Recovery options like "Install from zip" etc. This is because you must be booting your phone into the Stock Recovery. For those extra options to come up we need to boot the phone into the Custom Recovery.
To boot into Custom Recovery:
1. Press power on button;
2. Notice when the LED light blinks "BLUE" color; press both the volume keys this time;
3. Now it should show you Custom Recovery options this time;
4. Select "Install from Zip" and flash the ROM you were trying to flash (Also refer to the ROM info if that has some special installation steps).
If the above steps does not resolves the issue then you can always flash you phone with the Stock ROM found in the following article named as SBF:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
[Note: Above mentioned article has all the information that a defy user needs. Thanks "Zephyrot" for that wonderful article.]
Hope that helps!
Good Luck!!

and when press both vol down and power it goes into recovery with limited options.

I guess you'd charge your phone first then wait for a while,

I'm disappointed to know that you are still facing the same issue. Also, renaming the file to update.zip will not let you flash it.
As suggested above first recharge your battery for a while and then flash with appropriate SBF of your region using RSD Lite. Refer to the above given link it has all the information. Also, note that if you flash with any particular android version SBF (which is not a fixed SBF) then you will not be able to downgrade (above article has all info).
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

Okay, thanks for all.. this is the T Mobile Uk version and i got it with eclair rom, and than updated with orignal T mobile froyo.
Now i should start from froyo or eclair?

You may use any ROM either Froyo or Eclair. Please also check the downgradilbility of the ROM. As in many of the cases if the ROM is not fixed then switching back to the earlier versions is impossible without having the Nandroid backup. I suggest you to use the version which is officially released in your region.
ROMs can be downloaded from the below mentioned link:

2. Press and hold Volume Down button along with Power button till you see Android icon with an exclamation mark (!);
3. Once you see android icon and exclamation mark release both buttons and now press volume up and volume down button together;
4. Above steps will launch Android System Recovery window (Stock Recovery);
5. Now “wipe data/factory reset” by pressing volume down key and to select press power key;
6. On the next screen it will prompt you to confirm this option by selecting “yes – delete all use data” select this option with power key again;
6. Also “wipe cache partition” from power key as mentioned above;
7. Now select “reboot system now”;
After above steps it will take around 3-5 minutes for first boot and your phone will now boot in normal state.
If the above steps does not resolves the issue then I would recommend you to use some other SBF depending on your region.
Hope this helps!

What if I have balck screen in recovery mode as well?
Do you have any idea how to solve the same problem if the recovery mode does not start neither? Only RSDLite sees that the phone is connected. I can refresh the ROM but I did not find the right .sbf file yet. Do you know maybe which one would bring back the phone from death?
Thank you in advance!!

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me, my defy doesn’t react for any key combination. RSD Lite still discovers it I can flash any sbf’s. But I’m still getting black screen. The problem is that I don’t know which sbf I should use… Please help. I know I can’t brick defy but if I don’t know how to get back I’m almost there… 

It seems an issue with the Kernel. May be you are flashing the Green lense Defy (MB525) with GB kernel (i.e. MB526 sbf).
Also check the Bootloader version and which Android version you were using.
Here is a list of all the SBF's for both versions:

PS:- I don't use Defy for a year now as I own a Nexus 4.

[Q] Problem after Root ATT GS4

After rooting ATT GS4 today, when I reboot the device, there is no longer a samsung Galaxy S4 on the first boot screen.
There is a unlock picture and a word "custom" under that. Anyone knows how can I get the original pic back to the first boot screen.
By the way, if there will be any rom having chinese display language for ATT i337?
Thanks!!

This issue has already been widely discussed in the existing root threads for the i337 root method. As of yet, there is no way to restore the boot screen to original, or install custom ROMS, or reset (if any exist) flash counters, or install custom recoveries. Give it some time and I'm sure all will be taken care of. It's always a good practice to read through 100% of the posts in threads before doing anything to your phone. Just some advice.

In order to remove this icon you have to do a factory reset but before you that you will need to delete busybox from system bin /bin/
Use root explorer, delete busybox
Back up all data on the internal memory.
Turn off the device.
Press and hold the following three buttons at the same time:
Volume Up key
Home key
Power key.
When the phone vibrates, release the Power key but continue to press and hold the Volume Up key and the Home key.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'wipe data / factory reset.'
Press Power button to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight 'delete all user data.'
Press Power button to select and start the master reset.
When the master reset is complete, 'Reboot system now' is highlighted.
Press the Power key to turn the restart the device.
Then the icon will be gone

I'm rooted. I don't get a different boot up sequence.
Perhaps it's because I installed SuperSU and deleted Superuser.

You also updated binaries first right after you installed supersu? Then you deleted supersu?
Because I followed that and it worked.
The only thing I'm getting upon boot up is this:
# Install Superuser
The su binary is out of date

I downloaded root explorer, but I dont see busybox
Which backup do I use?
THANKS
Use root explorer, delete busybox
Back up all data on the internal memory.

I have the same issue I need to put it back too 100% stock it's bother the heck out of me I tried

After uninstalling superuser and installing supersu I still had the locked message.
That went away after a few reboots though...... so no more message, just the 'custom' message under device status......

I'm uploading a video right now. Give me a few to post it. It shows how to remove icon and keep root. And how to fully unroot too.

Tanks from "riobenny" user for this help:
remove ur battery.
then, u must turn on ur phone by pressing power button, and volume down. hold those two button, till u find android puppet logo, and a triangle.
if previously u run eclair ---> touch the bottom screen, choose wipe data/ factory reset, and choose wipe cache. (navigation entirely using touch screen)
if previously u run froyo ---> press vol up and vol down together, choose wipe data/ factory reset, and choose wipe cache (the navigation is using vol key, to choose using power button)
after u wipe all data and cache, press REBOOT system.
but.... IMMEDIATELY after u press REBOOT, u must press vol up buttong and HOLD for around 6 seconds and then release.
after that, ur screen will show boatloader mode, and u can flash it again using FULL SBF froyo for fresh one.

turbo 2 clear cache partition android 7.0 nougat

Hi -
searched in vain for an answer to this, but how do you clear the cache partition on a turbo 2 running android 7.0 nougat? The instructions for Android 6.0 are all I can find and they don't work. They did work when my phone was on 6.0, but something has changed in the procedure.
TIA

Procedure is the same to get to the recovery menu as it was on MM. It can be tricky to get the timing right.

There seems to be one difference:
Android Version 6.0 (Marshmallow) Steps
Power off the device and unplug it.
Press and hold the Volume Down button. While still holding Volume Down button, press and release the Power button.
Press and release the Volume Down button until you reach Recovery Mode.
Press and release the Power button to select Recovery Mode. The device will restart. An image of an Android robot with a red exclamation mark will appear.
Press and hold the Power button, press the Volume Up button once and then release the Power button.
Edit: ^^^^ this last step didn't work for me, I had to press Volume Down button to get the next sreen to show up
Use the Volume buttons to scroll to Wipe Cache Partition and press the Power button to select it. If an additional confirmation screen appears, use the Volume buttons to scroll to Yes and the Power button to select it.
Once the cache wipe has completed, press the Power button to select Reboot System Now.
