[Q] Bootloader error - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First I got the phone with this version originally:
4.5.1-134_DFP-125
I want to install MS2Ginger because I want the multitouch and the 720p module.
I follow the instructions but I got bootloader error.
OK fine! I use RSD lite. Installed this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1375701
The SBF works(I know lost the downgrade abality, but I think it was originally has no option for this)
But If I wants the 720p again. In the Thread instructions said that nandroid will do the trick
But no hope. The bootloader error appers again. (the full sbf corrects)
What I am doing wrong?

What is that bootloader error? bootloop maybe? I have this rom too and ewerythings OK.
Did you use 2ndinit 2.0 for nandroid restore?
Restored boot,devtree and recovery too? did you try wipe data/cache?

I Do exactly the same(in Quote), but when I rebooting the phone i got this error:
----------
Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,00,00,23
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
------------
The only chance to bring back the phone, is the RSD Lite
INSTALL:
To begin:
Put the Nandroid backup folder MS2Ginger on the SDCard in this folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Install method for MS2Ginger2.1:
Root your DEFY and Install BOOTMENU - CWM (2ndInit-Installer 2.0.apk - install 1.0.7) or use this SndInitDefy_2.0.apk
REBOOT
run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
wipe data and cache in "Stable/Custom - Recovery"
Go to "Recovery"
Go to "Latest Recovery"
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Go to "Restore" (system+data)
Select "ms2ginger..." and confirm
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Select "Advance Restore"
Select "ms2ginger..." and confirm
Select "boot" and confirm
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Select "Advance Restore"
Select "ms2ginger..." and confirm
Select "devtree" and confirm
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Select "Advance Restore"
Select "ms2ginger..." and confirm
Select "recovery" and confirm
reboot.
Booting up can take a while, max is about 10 minutes.
Charge your phone to 100% and keep it charging for an hour after.
Calibrate your battery using the pre installed apps.
optional for GREEN-LENS-DEFY - Install NEW_3D-fix_customization !!! no bootanimation after this patch !! it is a know problem

Click to collapse

try shadow_2.3.4-134_DFP-10.sbf
It has 720p rec and multitouch. and worked for me for the ms2ginger 2.1(just for camera with red lens with bayer modul of course)

Flashed CM7, Unable to Restore Backup

I flashed CM7 but there's problems with it, I think it's broken. I can't restore. I go to ROM Manager and click restore but then nothing happens. Tried going to recovery but there's not restore option. How do I Restore?
I have clockworkmod recovery, I can go to bootloader screen. I'm just not sure how to Recover a backup...
These are my only options in CWM
Reboot System Now
Apply update from SD Card
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
There's an error at the bottom, what do I do???
Bump for thread...
have you ever done a backup before? if you don't have the backup, you can't restore from it. recovery doesn't do automatic backup.

It actually doesn't say clockwork recovery it says Android system recovery. No it's a black screen
Basically like this only the Red triangle in the background and it says the same error

ok, since you can get have clockworkmod recovery, don't use RomManager. when you see those four options as you described, select "Apply Update from SD card", then select "Backup and restore", choose your restore file and you're good to go.
also, i hope you're not using the Droid X, because this is MyTouch 3G Slide forum.

OMG THANKS SO MUCH! I was able to restore!!! I love you sir.
No, I do have a MyTouch 3G Slide
However since my Touchscreen refuses to work I suspect I'll have to unroot my phone now to turn it in. I'm following the unroot guide

The fella says I need to "If you are sending back your phone to Tmobile for replacement, make sure you flash the newest radio out as of now."
Flash a radio out? How do I do this?

You can do so through CWM the same way. Select "Apply update from SD" and just use the zip for the latest radio (7.15) which you can grab from this thread --> [RADIO] Newest Radio from Froyo OTA 1/21/2011. Once applied just reboot and you will have the latest radio.

hi thank you
-did you try that and how was it
-do i need to flash my defy
Ok, first update to froyo (that's the 2.2 firmware). We are not going to flash a higher firmware directly (sbf) because otherwise you can't downgrade anymore if you need to claim warranty.
Go to setting > about > someting with version and look for check for update. If it didn't work/can't find it, no prob. Just download this sbf.
Read Here how to. Read it trough (also if you did manage to get service update).
Then root it (google super one click root).
Install 2nd init (google 2nt init defy xda).
Chose a rom (best options would be: CM7 => latest nightly from here or WIUI or picatchu something ....)
Most(exept Walters/Defy+ rom's) times the the update procedure is like stated in the guide in the OP of This. Just replace WIUI zip with the chosen rom.
thank you labsin
thanks a lot.
i did:
Setting>About phone>System update>check for system updates.
but the phone says:
Your device is up to date! No update necessary.
*is that means i don't need to update to froyo (that's the 2.2 firmware)?.
*and if i should to update to froyo2.2, Will i face some network problems because i'm living in Algeria?
thank you again!
No you won't have any network problems.
First download this sbf. It's an European deblured(so you don't have to register with motorola after you installed it as you're not going to stay there long).
How to flash sbf-file
- Download and install Motorola Defy driver
- Download and install RSD Lite
- Open RSD Lite
- Enter Bootloader Mode on you phone (Power+VolUp when phone is off)
- Connect phone to you PC (USB)
- Open RSD - Lite
- Flash new SBF (browse => earlier downloaded sbf)
Now your on froyo. You shouldn't have network issues here but it doesn't matter.
-Root the phone (super one click root)
-For CM7: Download latest nightly, kernel zip, Gapps (google market...) and put them on your sd-card (remember where)
1. Download 2ndinit 1.4.2
2. install 2ndinit (Important!:following the instructions)
3. Boot into bootmenu by pressing volume down when device flashes a blue led at bootup. Set default boot mode to 2nd init. (vol up/down and power for navigating)
4. Select Recovery/Stable Recovery. Choose "Wipe Data/Cache" option. Let finish.
5. Choose Install zip from SD Card, select CM7..... .zip and let it finish.
(for CM7: Do 6 again with the gapps zip and the CM7kernel.zip)
6. select "Wipe Cache" then go to Advanced and select "Wipe Dalvik Cache". Reboot Now!
7. After boot, set your prefered language in Settings menu
thank you
hi, thank you for all this help
-but after the SBF flash i don't have a network
Hi,
I am on IceCream - So not sure if its the same..
try settings->advanced->baseband switcher if you have it.
thanks
hi, thank you.

Welcome to XDA forums
Yes your phone has bootloader 7 .Please refer to the links below for detailed procedures on rooting your phone and installing a custom rom
IMP : Make a back up of your existing ROM before flashing CM10 , just in case you want to go back to stock rom.
Here is the link to root your phone
Once your phone is rooted follow the steps below
Download 2ndinit version 2.3 apk from here
Allow root permission to 2ndinit once the installation is complete the LED should turn Green.
Download the latest version of CM10 (Quarx version 20121109) from here and save it on your SD Card.
Reboot your phone and just when the LED turns blue press the volume down button to enter Recovery. Once in recovery mode scroll down to the option "Wipe data/factory reset" using the volume down button. You can select the option by pressing the Power button.
Similarly do "Wipe Cache partition" and then scroll down to Advanced options and then select wipe "Wipe Dalvik cache".
Select the "Go Back option" and then scroll down to select "Install Zip from SD card" . Select the zip file that you had saved earlier on your SD card and wait till the installation is complete. Once you reboot you should now have CM 10 rom on your phone. Depending on your requirement you may then flash either minimal gapps or complete gapps available here
Hi,
I carried out the procedure as you described for the same phone (Defy+, DFP-231). However, my SD got corrupted and I lost my backup of my existing ROM.
CM10 works like a charm but I want to return to my original state.
Can you assist?
Thanks, TY

The only way to return to the stock rom is either by using a nandroid back up or by flashing the correct SBF file for your rom . But since your memory card is corrupt the only other option is to flash a SBFfile . Kindly refer to the thread given below for more details on flashing a SBF files.

[Q] Rom Manager Backup Rebooting to Laying Down Android

Okay so here are the steps I've done so far.
1. My phone is rooted and verified rooted with Root Checker Basic and have Super Su installed to grant super user privileges and Rom Manager is listed as being granted super user.
2. I've installed Rom Manager
3. I've selected Recovery Setup, Install Or Update Recovery for ClockworkMod Recovery, and selected LG G2 vs980 Verizon.
4. It asks me if I want to flash the "touch" version but I leave No selected and proceed to Flash ClockworkMod Recovery.
5. After it downloads (I paid the 1.99 to download it instead of manually doing it to support the devs) and flashes it says "Successfully flashed ClockworkMod recovery!".
6. It then asks me if I want to upgrade to touch recovery which I decline.
7. I then go to "Backup Current Rom" and then click okay for the backup name.
8. The phone then reboots, shows the lg logo, then stops at an android laying down with an exlamation mark coming out of his chest.
9. If I just let it sit there without rebooting it will auto reboot after a minute or so. after the phone reboots and I check the clockworkmod folder there is no backup file (of course because it never happened)
Any ideas as to where I'm going wrong? Do I need to buy the touch version for this to work or is there a painless free way to do this that I'm not aware of?
Rom manager is the problem. It doesnt work on this phone. Use flashify or freegee to install recovery. Personally see no need for rom manager ?

Ah I see, okay so I went ahead and installed Freegee for $1. On the orange and green screen it has the options to "Backup EFS", "Restore EFS", "Restore all backups", "CWM 6.0.4.6", "CWM 6.0.4.7", and "TWRP 2.6.3.3".
Is "Backup EFS" the same option that ROM Manager had to "Backup a complete image of my phone"?
If so does it just save one simple file that can be used to restore the phone should I mess it up while messing with the phone?

backup efs doesnt back up the image of your phone. this is drive partition info needed in case you corrupt a partition. it will save an efs zip file that can be used in recovery.
Efs is a file of important data about your phone, similar to bios on a computer.
To back up you're rom and data you boot into recovery and use the backup option inside the recovery

I also install ROM Manager for my D802 and I also tried to Back up the ROM. Then after reboot display not working. Only showing some white and blue lines on black background. Please help to solve this.
