Reflash CWM? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can get to Android Boot Menu 1.0.5 from there I can get to CWM-based 5.0.2.4-jordan But it is broken! As half the stuff does not work, I need to reflash this, The issue is I cannot get into any rom.
Suggestions? As I cannot find CWM for this device online.
I have tried to find the Orange UK 2.2.2 Rom that came on this device, But no luck so I can't even return it to stock.

unless you want to return to stock rom otherwise you can just flash the recommended nordic froyo sbf and start over again from there?

Restoring to stock

I know there is all kinds of information out there on returning a phone to stock, but I cannot seem to get anything to work. I flashed my Magic with the engineering spl, set up a custom recovery image and rom, but now I need to return it back to stock to exchange it... I've tried the old rogers wiped rom, and I've tried a rooted version and a signed version... I can't seem to get anything to properly flash on to this phone now... I can flash any of the fun cool roms, but no boring old stock. The closest success I had was the signed rom installed, but hung on the rogers boot screen. the other ones all complain that they are unsigned. Any advice? I need to get this thing restored ASAP, and I would normally muck with it myself, but I don't have the time to play around anymore. I need to ship this thing back in 10 days or less now... Please?
Before you flashed anything, you should have fastboot-ed a recovery image & did a nandroid backup of your stock ROM.

Use the search button. This has been asked before. And this is not question and answer. Post in right forum.

Can't Flash Fresh ROM

I have run into a strange problem. I have spent the last 2 days trying to flash the Fresh Rom back onto my phone. I had some problems while trying to do Apps to SD. Flashed back to stock, Updated and rerooted. I can restore all backups of the original sprint ROM. Every time I flash Fresh 1.0 or restore one of my nandroid backups for Fresh it will get stuck in a boot loop. I have searched everywhere and tried every possible option and can not get this Rom back on the phone. Anyone have any ideas?
first off, do you have a modded Recovery Menu? Because you need one, it is in the forums, i believe it is stickyed, but if its not search for it.
second, did you download the right ROM for YOUR phone?
Third, is the download a good download? it is possible it is corrupt.
put ALL these into consideration.
That what I was gonna ask gotta make sure you're rooted for flashing first! Good luck and let us know if you have any questions...if the directions for rooting viat the Android SDK are too confusing for you like they were for me search the forum for the "flashrec" way of rooting your phone so easy a caveman can do it!
Also be sure to get the base 1.29 RUU just to have if you need to default to stock and I found with my Sprint Hero model that recovey image 1.5.2 works best for back up and restoring 1.2.3 didn't work at all for me hence the need to run the base RUU anytime I tried to restore lol.
Yes I did all of that. I had it flashed with the fresh Rom before. Used the same files that where on my card even redownloaded. No go.

quick question :(

hey can someone tell me how to change from the rom evil hero 2.7 that i have now to MLIGN 3.3? my recovery image is 1.2.1 and i heard i need to get the 1.5.2 is that true? if i do need to change my recovery image to 1.5.2 how do i do that.
dowlnoad a 1.5.2 recovery (although there are even newer ones) and flash that as well. Instructions are... everywhere (even at the page where you download recoverys)
Then get the mlign rom and flash it
Learn to help yourself and do some searches. Instructions are literally everywhere.
edit- since ive never dealt with that version recovery before, I don't know why you have to upgrade and don't really see a need for it but it doesnt hurt to go to something newer.
Also, i have a question. How were you able to find MLign3.3 but not the recovery image+instructions? I don't get it.
ok thanks so i did as you told me and it seemed to work perfectly when i rebooted the HTC screen came up and said process not responding and it gave me the option to force close or wait. what do i do?
Not sure, did you wipe and everything before flashing the rom?

I'm incompetent. Is there anything I'm missing?

When I first became active, I rooted my phone, I made a recovery off the original recovery rom. I updated to the what my phone says is the unofficial modaco rom v1.3 + an update
+ a theme.... bu then me and my girl split and my recovery images were on a flash device she had. I see some stuff about an updated version of recovery... talk of radio's amongst other things.
I'm assuming I just most likely need to flash back to an original root and then possibly the instructions I need to get the new recovery image as well as the 2.0 stuff on my phone. <--- is this basically what I need to do???

Flash a new recovery....fisrt things first
Then do factory data wipe from recovery.
You should probably reformat your SD card...
Wipe Dalvik....
then flash any of the good ole' zips that are up now..
Personally before I do any more flashing I am waiting on sprint release OR this new "Toasts Awesome Sauce" I see in another thread...if it blows everyone else away speed wise....I hope they got OC working.
Only reason I am waiting for an official sprint is because I am sick of wiping my phone ~ to lazy to back up ~.

You don't have to install the new recovery to flash the 2.x ROM's. However, the new RA 1.6.2 was updated and had some bugs fixed, with also a little more added features, so it's probably worth your time to download and flash.
To flash a 2.x ROM, just do as you did before, find one you think you might like, download it and then copy it to your SD Card, after that its a matter of Nadroid back up and then flashing the new ROM.
thanks for the heads up guys.
I just couldn't be sure if there were things that needed to be changed outside of just flashing the new roms.
Back when i was more active I recall there being some roms that you couldn't flash from but a factory reset will revert me out of my modoca flash so that, that problem doesn't potentially crop up?

Downgrade Problem!

I have searched and searched, tried every method, but I am offically stuck (I think) - I'm prepping a rooted Eris for return - i had previously been able to flash the 2.1 RUU to return to stock, but it now will not work - I guess somewhere along the lines of rooting/ROM flashing my bootloader has changed (it is now v1.49.000) - I can't get any RUU to work (get ERROR in RUU interface) - I have also tried flashing a P00IMG through HBOOT, but it also errors out (something is older than something else - forgot exactly) - I have tried flashing new HBOOT/Recovery Image through ADB per a JCASE post, but that will not work either - I've gotten older ROM's loaded that will allow for new OTA updates, but they ultimately will not work (signature issues i believe) -
So the question is, is there a method that will get me back to 2.1 "stock" & get rid of Amon Ra recovery?
Again, I have searched and tried every method I could find - I have updated my SDK - help anyone?
Ive seen people just send in rooted ones without any problem, so I dont know if they'll check. But if your worried, i would just flash a 2.1 rom that looks like the stock, cause i dont think they'll know the difference.
Do you have a Nandroid backup from when you first rooted?

Unfortunately I don't have it - you wanna loan me yours?
I'm only kind of kidding....
download unzipme.zip which jcase removed on xda from here http://androidmobileos.com/?p=14928 Inside theres dowgrade rom that you flash through custom recovery (which ever one you use). After that you just follow the instructions (adb parts). Works very well. If you will have any issues with adb part as far as flashing back to stock recovery and hboot than check your hboot version and make sure its s-off. If its not you can get it s-off with batery pull trick.
i had an issue like this where the ruu would say that my phone was disconnected and told me to connect it to the computer,i was on a froyo rom,i flashed a 2.1 rom and the ruu worked,just an fyi just incase this might help if you want to return to stock 2.1,once you run the ruu and sync with google you wiil receive the july update also.
