aSo heres my issue. I installed Rom manager and when I try to apply update.zip it says its not found. So I found a update.zip that was supposed to be for the continuum put it in the root of the SD card then reboot in recovery mode. It applied the update.zip but now when I try to reboot into recovery mode I get stuck there. I have to take the battery out over and over. Any ideas? I cant flash any other roms or do any backups because I get stuck at the recovery screen..
What kernel do you have installed?

Stock kernel.. Everything is stock.
What update.zip did you download?

^ that... did you use the one from the post on this forum?
Also, is your recovery stock also? Because that would be why........

The recovery I was using is Clockworkmod, and the update.zip file that I used was from a website I cant remember right off the top of my head but it said it was specifically for the I400 Continuum. I was unaware that there was an update.zip in this forum. As of today I've uninstalled Clockworkmod and deleted update.zip from my SD card. As long as I dont go into recovery the phone shuts down and reboots just fine. But if i go into recovery it gets stuck there and I have to take the battery out a few times to get it to reboot.
P.S. you help with this is greatly appreciated as I am very new to the Android platform. I have a lot of experience modding and flashing roms in WM6 but none with Android.
Thanks,
Justin
what screen does it get stuck on? have you even flashed odin yet?
Lets make this easy.. Is there a post in this forum that gives all the files and step by step instructions on how to install the recovery and do the flashing?
YAY! I got it figured out. All is well! Thank you guys for your help. I think we can consider this case closed.
Thanks again,
Justin
Ok maybe not... I got through the recovery but now when I try to flash in CWM it aborts the installation and says this:
-- Installing: /sdcard/DL17_clean.zip
Finding update package
Opening update package
Installing update...
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was depreciated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockWorkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.
Any ideas?
Download the update.zip from the thread with the CWM kernel and replace the one on your SDCard. I'll get CWM 3.x out eventually then as well, as soon as I have some time to test it and get the few mods out there updated to edify.
Id love to but now its stuck at the 'samsung' screen. when I try to apply the backup that I just made it says:
ClockworkMod Recovery v3.0.0.8
Checking MD5 sums...
Erasing boot before restore...
Error while erasing boot image!
When I try to reboot it just gets stuck at the 'samsung' screen again.
Setup ADB on your computer and download the update.zip from the CWM thread in the Development forum. Open up command prompt and navigate to the directory where the update.zip is located. Boot into Recovery and plug your phone into your computer. Then run "adb push update.zip /sdcard/update.zip". After it finishes pushing, reapply the update.zip and you should be in CWM 2.5.x again. The reason you can't boot past the Samsung screen is because, based on your other thread, CWM 3.x that you tried to use wiped the kernel partition, so it has nothing to boot too. Until you get CWM 2.5.x back, you can't flash anything here via CWM without changing it over to edify scripting.
It says "device not found" Should I be in the stock recovery or CWM? Meaning should I apply update.zip on the phone or no?
You should be in CWM. If it's still not working, you'll need to get an ODIN package that has the kernel in it to flash. I'd post one, but I'm at work and can't put one together.
Yeah it still isnt working. Hey I appreciate all your help I understand you are working. Ill leave it alone for now but if (when you have time of course) you could put that together I'd be beyond grateful. If its as easy as flashing with odin and having the right CWM to flash the DL17 then I think I can handle that but if there are further, more complicated steps to correct this then I may need your assistance further.
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Justin

Wait in Irc. Txwolf1980 is the resident fixer. But clarify what exactly you have done flashing wise. Read the sticky tread about bricked device. All of them.
And what's Brock screen?

Ok. 1. What froyo file were you trying to flash?
2. At what point did it fail?
3. You say you outfit in DL mode, andvitvwent to CWM. On its own? I'm not sure that's possible. Please clarify
4. You say it now goes from download to black screen "really fast". Again, clarification.
5. Ifvyou have downloaded mode, and drivers, we can get a read in odin. It may take a few tries. When you say you don't have cwm, do you have stock recovery? When will you have an hour or so to get into IRC?
Hi !
today I decided i should upgrade from CM7.0.2 to nb 118. But I first installed latest radio. I did a backup at this point. The radio flash went ok, the phone booted and everything worked fine.
I installed nightly build 118 from ROM manager without google apps, and with a dalvik wipe (no data/cache wipe). The phone booted up ok, but some widgets had disapeared, some shortcuts didn't work and some apps had disapeared too, the autorotation of screen at 0° had been unticked too... I rebooted, and finally decided I should revert to my backup.
That's where the real problem happens : after the backup restoration, the phone is stuck in a boot loop.
I can start with fastboot mode, but I can't access recovery mode, the red exclamation mark is there...
I'm not sure this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751265 is adapted to my situation, should I follow it ?
Thank you for your help !
PS : I'm S-OFF
This should be @ the Q&A section but anyway, here we go:
I just had that bootloop situation myself and yes, you should follow that usb unbrick tutorial. That'll help you. Also, you should try if you can get to fakeflash by pressing VOLUP + POWER while @ the red exclamation window. If you can and you should be able to, search XDA for "fakeflash clockworkmod" or something similar, you should find a CWM image in a ZIP form. Then put that image into your SDCard, rename it to update.zip, go into the fakeflash menu and apply update.zip, it should fly you to the real recovery menu where you can do a full wipe and flash your ROM again.
Hopefully I'm not forgetting anything =D At least that's how I solved my situation and my phone is working fully again!
Hi.
Do you have the update.zip from recovery clock in the root of your sdcard, if so just press volume up and the power down at the same time, or the other way around ;-) when it change picture choose option, install update.zip and you should be in recovery mode
Im a noob, so dont laugh if i have written it the wrong way
Cheers, and good luck.
Jesus chist, it is written in the second post... Damn.

That "Can't open /cache etc." error message indicates that you are in the fake-flash menu. Do you have a working recovery image in the root of your SDcard renamed to "update.zip"? If not, try searching the forum for "clockworkmod fakeflash" or something similar and it should show some topics that will help you.
I recently got my Legend working again from bootloop and usb brick so I'm ready to help you with your further problems that may occur =)
EDIT: And please, make sure that your recovery zip is just "update.zip" and not a ZIP file named "update.zip" cause then it will be a file called "update.zip.zip" =D

I hope you read this and if it isn't fixed yet then take a rom YOU KNOW that works.
go into recovery Go to "mounts and storage" and format SYSTEM. NOTHING ELSE.
Do a wipe and THEN flash your zip.
Remember to NOT go out of recovery when you have formatted the system.
I hope it helps.
Hoping to get some help urgently. Please bear with me, I am used to flashing Samsungs and am a noob when it comes to Defys.
I used the following guide to flash a Defy from 2.2 to Gingerbread. I think I maintained the CG but I am really not sure...

Hello Nook Simple touch community! I recently pulled out my old pal the other day, and am having a lot of issues trying to get it to work! I would like to remove the root on the device and restore to stock firmware, and am using clockworkmod rc2 128mb on an SD Card with Alpha format 2 .zip
Whenever I try to flash the ZIP I get a "Installation Aborted error" I tried removing the get assest build prop line from the install script file, but still received the said error! I can't restore the device no matter what I try, and don't know what to do
Please help! I really want to fix this device so I can use it without buying another device.
The stock recovery has been overwritten by CWM if that's a problem then I dont know what to do
EDIT: I FIXED IT **MAKE SURE** that you disable Auto Unzip on macOS! That allows the restore to go through PERFECTLY!
Um...this is not a Q&A thread...
