Hello again,
I was having problems with my old battery and i tried to hard reset my phone when the power was almost half but the batter suddenly hanged my fone in the middle of formatting and now i brought a new battery and its not entering BOOTLOADER MODE when i press the Bulb+Power+Reset button
When i place the phone on charging the indicator on the Phone glows Red and it wont turn on the phone or wont go to bootloader mode...if only you guys can explain me how to enter bootloader mode then i can do the rest.
Thanks.
P.S : Despite all the problems i face using a WM i still love it the most.
Common guys...this forum is my only hope....as i dont have any HTC service centre near my place.
Hoping for some usefull adivces.

How i screwed up my HTC Universal ?
I tried to Hard Reset it when the battery was running on low power and while the process of hard resetting was going on it suddenly shut down due to low power and now it wont even enter bootloader mode....Any help guys ? i purchased it from dubai and i dont even have any HTC repair centre in my city...not that i know off.

Yes i am very sure, As i have previously installed many ROMS on it but this time its not even going into bootloader mode.
I doubt that the bootloader mode itself is currupted or something is there a way to install a fresh bootloader mode ?
Kindly help me out its been a month i havnt used my phone now.,using a Motorola W220 ,from jasjar to w220 is not a very good feeling guys. please sort my problem i dont have anyone to guide me here.
Funny thing is i found a HTC repair center and the guys over their said they only repair HTC products not Imate and imate service centre in whole aisa = 5 or 6 :| checked it on club imate site.

Thanks for your help. I've tried the remedies outlined in the PDF document, including flashing the memory via the SD card. This does not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

Yes, that's the funny part; can enter bootloader mode. I've followed the instructions to burn a new ROM to the SD card. After I burn the new ROM to the SD card, I can then burn the new ROM, but as soon as I choose to hard reboot my device, I receive a message reading; CLEARING, then the display fades and nothing further happens.
I will post this answer in the other threads with this problem, but I installed Tomal's WM6.1 v8.2 and the phone worked fine afterward. I think the problem is that some phones don't accept all ROMS.
If only i could enter bootloader mode i would have tried whichever rom you would have suggested but my problem is different i cant even enter Bootloader mode.
And i think only a service center can help me nothing else.
Hi!
My device as similar behavior.
After a failed upgrade at 99%.
It don't Start , can't go to Boot Loader mode.
When I connect to Windows give me usb not recongnized.
Try to flash with orginal ROM, Even "usb not recognized but it gives a comunication error...
and stop's.
Did you manage to put your device in bootloader mode ?
I try ever possible combination of keys and no luck...
Please help!

Hello there...Welcome to the club bro...
Funny thing is i gave my phone to a Local service center and he was able to get it in Bootloader mode but couldnt install a proper ROM as he didnt had one...so i got my problem fixed and i sold my jasjar two days ago for 5000/- Indian Rupees...Thats around $105 .
I have promised myself that i will NEVER buy an Imate as they dont have proper service centers here in my place.I am planning to get Sony X1 now
My suggestion to you...get it repaired and sell it before it gets messed up again.,its a very delicate and very pain in the @$$ phone.Im so happy now ^.^
Mods :Can lock this thread now...i no longer own a jasjar.
How They Get in Bootloader?
Using JTAG ?
Or there is another trick ?
Because Normal combination of key don't work
...
Can you try to find out ?
Thanks

and once i try bootloader its a blank screen then it gose to a screen w the m logo and says alert: please disconnect all cables and remove batter ans re insert batter to reboot the phone 1

You're powering on while you press the up arrow?
yes i am and when i do it will just boot into the rom or a black screen w/ the m symbol and says alert fault detected please unplug all cables and remove ans reinsert batter and power on phone ! idk how to fix this !
you're probably best just googling it, but there's a program that I believe can sbf your phone even if bootloader won't come up.
um yea ive googled since its happened i have only fone one other similar to this and he just returned the phone
try and use the Linux sbf. Usually much better results with crazy crap like this.

Hey All,
I'm sick and tired of flashing SBFs to my Defy. I made a mistake and didn't flash the CM7 kernel after flashing CM10 and Gapps and now it's doing the 'blank screen unless you flash a SBF in RSDlite' nonsense. I've flashed a million SBFs, none of them work. I cannot get anywhere except the bootloader mode with the blank screen. The battery is charged, etc.
If someone has a step or two I can try, I'm game; but if no one can help, Imma shoot it (or ship it to someone if they want it).
Thanks dudes.
I hate motorola.
Use this chinese, it will work no matter what.

Unless you really want to ship it to me, then I'm game. I need a new defy cause mine is kinda busted. The earpiece doesnt work and the lighted buttons at the bottom dont work too well, I had to install CM10 for on screen navigation. I can provide the shipping address for you and stuff.
It really doesn't boot to the bootlogo or bootanimation? Have you tried entering stock recovery and wiping data and cache? That's a must for a stock ROM to work after using a custom one... Get your battery out; hold volume down + power button and insert the battery while holding; keep holding and it should enter stock recovery after a couple of seconds at the red M splash screen. Then press both volume keys at the same time for the menu to show up!

He's right.
I don't know how many times that Chinese SBF got me unbricked. Always did the trick for me.
The only thing is: you'll be stucked with BL7 forever.
But that doesn't prevent you from using other Custom ROMs, just from using the usual SBF files provided by other carriers.
If you'r willing to try, here's a step-by-step guide:

Alright, so I flashed the file, but I have the same issue. The phone does not do anything with any type of button combination, however if I plug it into a computer, I can flash a file to it and the screen shows the progress. That's all I can get to show on the screen at all. I have 2 batteries of good condition and an external battery charger.
Any ideas?

Flash the chinese SBF in RSD lite, the progress bar (on your PC) should count to 100% twice. It will then reboot your phone for you.
Do not unplug your phone before RSD lite says finished.. And yes, wiping in stock recovery is a must.
Don't lose hope on your defy, it is almost impossible to brick

Thanks for your replies guys. Ya, I did this and it says PASS but when it says that it's rebooting the phone, it never does. I can't get into the stock recovery to wipe anything Any more ideas? Perhaps I'm holding the wrong buttons?

Try doing this:
- once the SBF is flashed, wait for RSD Lite to finish its work
- if it says "Restart the phone manually" remove the battery and unplug the phone
- put the battery back in
- press and hold power and vol- buttons for a few seconds
- release the power button, but keep vol- button pressed
- if it shows a sign with Android guy and a ! in a triangle, release vol- button and press both vol+ and vol- buttons at the same time
- if nothing changes, press the screen at the bottom right corner (just above the magnifying glass, i.e. regular search button)
This should bring up stock recovery from which you should be able to wipe data/cache. This screen should be available by default, but sometimes it's hidden. After wiping the stuff, simply reboot the phone from the recovery.
I hope this helps.
Welp, I'm having some issues with my own Defy as well. So, yesterday I flashed that Chinese SBF. And now I can say that the steps from my previous reply won't work.
My wrong. This method does work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
Even though I didn't have an access to stock recovery and didn't wipe everything, the SBF loaded just fine, as well as the second (rooted one). Try that method, andjohn.
However, this didn't solve my problem with the camera, unfortunately, so I'm off to my thread.

Probably you are trying to flash an earlier BL version than what is already flashed.
So you probably need to try a BL7 SBF.
If you give up on your Defy give me a price to ship it to Australia. I might take it off your hands.

Hello everyone,
I was doing an antutu test, and the phone just shut off yesterday. The battery was about 60% and then impossible to restart it. I then let it cool down 10mn then tried again with no luck. I plugged to the wall with original cable and plug and then a red flashing light was lit. I went to read online about this behaviour to find out it was (to some people say) due to battery being dead and had to wait to recharge a bit. I let charge for about 2h but there was no icon of battery charging on the screen. No need to mention that i have tried everything (holding power button for 60sec, holding volume down + power button etc etc) nothing was working. Then i read somewhere on this forum i had to press volume down + power THEN plug it into wall. I gave a try then it worked it went to recovery mode.... BUT BUT BUT once i tried to go to each option (start, restart bootloader, recovery mode), the phone was shutting down right away after the google image and again red flashing light... Bummer... So since it was getting into recovery mode i plugged it to pc and then followed the thread on how to reinstall stock rom etc etc. I followed steps but since i was already with a custom rom and kernel (PA+TRINITY) i used the toolboxkit because the command fastboot was not working in the command window. I did flashed the stock bootloader following what was supposed to be flashed first.Result.. Now no red flashing light, but nothing else either, no light, no power, no charging, no recovery mode, nothing... ANY ideas would be highly apreciated before i call google for an exchange.
Thanks to all for help.
What exactly do you plan on telling Google?
How did you flash only the bootloader??
Did you try the toolkit to reflash stock???

Well since it does nothing else anymore i was going to tell them the truth besides the part it had another custom rom and kernel and i started the toolkit and i placed the 6 stock .img int he right folder then i started by flashing the bootloader and was waiting for reboot to flash the rest of the images like it is mentionned on the thread on this forum.
I used the toolkit to flash the bootloader but now the phone is dead completly. No light flashing, no battery icon, it is plugged on the wall and i get no power in it.. This is why im stuck before trying to flash stock rom and wipe all datas...
If you have any idea... i take it gladly!! but im not very used with toolkit so i dont seem to know how to wipe all datas besides flashing stok data image?? but the question is hos to get power back in phone now???
thank you for your precious help
anyone else???

Hello
Phone totally dead, not even charging anymore. Google sending replacement
Hey Guys,
I have a dead phone(kind of). All it displays is
"Have been in Factory Mode. long press power button and Normal boot"
And in very tiny font, there is a line saying
"=>Tool DL Image Load Fail!"
This stays for a few seconds then it turns off, and repeat, again the same this comes up on the screen.
What I have tried:
1) Flash the stock ROM using SP Flash Tools several times
2) Cleaned the power button from the inside a bit, because some thread said there might be a sticky button.
Flashing with SP Flash Tools shows that the flash is successful, but it didn't help.
EDIT: Now it displays something as "eFuse blow: Success". Damn!

Hey, Thank you for replying.
Have tried that method, its just the same thing, but now it is not displaying that tiny line.
Now it goes into the factory mode and shows some options in Chinese. And it stays there till i select something.
The last option, i know is "Reboot To Phone" (Via Google Translate).
When i select that option it goes back into the Factory mode again.

Tried to flash TWRP through SP, it returns an error:
ERROR: S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND(6045)
MSP ERROR CODE:0x00.
Make sure volume + button is not pressed.
During boot can you boot in to stock recovery,
press POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN until Lenovo logo appear, then continue press VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN
Thanks all. I somehow got it to work... and now my phone is all good.
As crazylife told, there was some hardware issue. Apparently, there was a tini-tiny bit of a circuit which, due to water allegedly, got short. I had it cleaned by some local phone shop.( He also claimed that the phone work anyway ,though). After that i flashed the stock rom, and it worked.
And btw, how do i mark the thread solved?

I had a problem with the Motherboard due to water getting in, and apparently it caused a short-circuit near the power button module. Actually speaking, I was really dissatisfied with the kind of service the Lenovo guys give to its customers, because first they told me that they will clean, and claimed that the board must be changed. The only thing which needed to be done in my phone was to clean that part of the board with White Petrol(you can ask the local mobile shop guys, they will have it, but just be careful). That solved my problem. And thanks to few threads, i got it working.
P.S: I am from Hyderabad, so had it solved here in a local shop.
Hi, Thanks for your reply. Was able to come out of that situation after 3 days, but had left my mobile with the local service center for 2 days (At the time, when i took my mobile from service center, my mobile was not working, was informed that the mobile is dead) I thought of giving a last try and plugged in the charger on 3rd day it started working . My mobile had a new problem display was broken (from inside) and speakers were not working, when i asked that guy his reply was " how can i know, your mobile was dead, when u brought in hear, my job was to fix it, why will i break it?" though my mobile was back to normal I had to pay a huge price of display and speakers. Hope everyone got to know the take away from my story. Crazy world; lesson learnt.
The same is happening to me!
And my phone keeps vibrating, also I don't know how to select one of those Chinese options, can you please help me sir?

Hey!
My phone had some water damage issue, hence the loop. Opened the phone and cleaned it a bit. Yours might be different problem, try flashing stock firmware, or going into fastboot mode and flashing recovery. Currently don't have this phone so can't help that much.

Oh. Yes my phone too got wet in rain. I went to some shop and they helped me out. But thanks to you I realize that it was repairable and that too without loosing any data. Thanks so much for saving my thousands of ruppees that'd have been wasted to get a new phone. Also yes this model in general is pretty old so I can understand that most of the people don't use it anymore. Again thank you very much for saving all the stuff I had on this phone and the money. ??
