How about you tell everyone what you are trying to do, and what you are typing in command prompt.
Android Debug Bridge....
Do you have Samsung drivers installed/setup?
Take a nice deep breath and do one learning step at a time. Android has a lot to teach. I would also encourage learning the phone use basics, reading up on things before attempting any mods. Welcome to android family.
Here is a good thread to start in.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=790004

lol ... well i already opened another thread about how to put hebrew fonts on the phone to support hebrew instead of seing empty boxes on facebooks and websites and what not... my phone Was rooted, Was voodooed but there was force closing on things and market stopped working so i completely stocked the phone, only thing that doesnt work now is my phone memory which is on 0.00 which i read and you apparently have to root the phone all over again
so right now... the phone memory is my only issue, i guess i can live without hebrew if its too much of a hassle to install while rooted::
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480964
i have no idea how to work this^^^
i have the drivers installed like i said, i was able to odin, root, and voodoo, clockwork as well ofcourse. now phone is completely stock except for that memory issue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804457&highlight=phone+memory
completely got lost in this thread... so yeah, those are my problems with the phone at the moment. i wont mention the obvious of gps etc.
another awesome issue, everytime my phone is turned off and back on, it starts that set up process all over again... language; facebook; google... etc... why?
Once you install adb on your computer you have to go to change the path on your computer to point to that folder. Or you can change your directory to the one that holds the adb file from within the command prompt. This should allow you to run the commands.
The issue you are having with the memory on your phone is because voodoo did not completely uninstall. You can fix this by running the steps in this forum to uninstall voodoo. Don't try the one step zip, you are going to have to do the three step manual method to make this work. Don't forget the final step to wipe data.
Once this is done voodoo will be gone, memory should be back, and phone should stop resetting on every boot.
Obviously you aren't the only one to ever have these issues. But you can recover.
Good luck.

No intro
Here is what I did:
Wanted to flash new ROM, [ROM] Super Clean DI01 + AOSP apps, (Thanks to everyone who worked on it AND everyone on this forum cause Ive spent the past week reading the threads and felt confident enough in the info and the support to try).
BUT
when trying to download with ODIN (not certain if this was the right method, too late now) found that it did not work, couldnt see file when looking in the PDA browse.
STUPIDLY disconnected phone from computer while in DOWNLOAD MODE. You know, when the screen says "DONT DISCONNECT FROM TARGET". Apparently, the rebus string for "you dun f*cked up" is a phone symbol... a yellow triangle w/!...computer symbol.
What do I do to get back to fun?
Tried reboot, tried CWR reboot, tried Nandroid restore w/reboot still the YDFU symbol
*EDIT* I continued searching while awaiting a response and found this thread: Stuck on connection warning screen. This got me out of the YDFU screen into a nice force loop. Since I am not a -complete noob- I pulled a nandroid backup outta my hat and ...tada back to good, now to the fun!

First of all Hello ! Hope your all good and I appreciate your time to help me.
This is where I'm currently stuck on with my HTC Glacier-MyTouch 4g problem.
View attachment 936086
View attachment 936087
I have tried these methods so far: download PD15img.zip on sd card and then update it takes hours and then suddenly screen goes black probally shuts down.
I read that you need to turn s=off first before you can download any roms or something like that but to do that either you have to download visionary which i can't because i cant pass the mytouch screen.
Also, there are other ways but for that you need to do things from your phone such as make sure phone is on usb debugging mode and stuff which i also cant do if i cant pass the mytouch screen.
So considering all that, can anyone please thoroughly tell me how to go about fixing this problem and get it to work. It doesnt matter how its done i just want it to work lol.
Thanks A million for your time.
Well, the version of PD15IMG.zip you are trying is important. There are 2 gingerbread versions. Download both and verify the MD5 sum on them. Try the original GB version first. If that doesn't work, try the newest one. Its possible you have a bad download or you are trying to install the older version over the newer. Following my instructions addresses both.
Report back.
Fastboot
Use adb and fastboot to push the rom.
If it crashes / hangs try a different sd card.
I had an issue with this and I swear it was the SD card.
Open Glacier Wiki, section "Troubleshooting". Read the guide and execute it. If it doesn't work for you - understand that your phone is done and there's nothing you can do.
Next time, try searching instead of opening yet another thread to ask a question that might have been answered zillion times before. That'll make sure you won't get answers like "use adb and fastboot to push the ROM", when you have no access to ADB at all, not having the OS booting, and fastboot won't allow you flashing /system because of the size.
DISCLAIMER: I NOR ANY ONE ELSE ASSUMES RESPONSIBILITY IF YOU BREAK YOUR DEVICE.
THIS DID WORK FOR MY STRAITTALK XT555C USING .67D FIRMWARE. ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP!
update
I am rooted thanks to rootdefyxt320.... its a funny process as it seems i got an asian version of the
app but it worked flawlessly. after poking around to guess the right button to click the device restarted and (pc-win7)
showed asian language and big bold letters showed xt555c. clicked green buttonto "close" and unplugged device. i got a version
of what looked like su.apk in an asian language. then get supersu from market to "replace su app" (in super su settings)
reboot asian su gone and now need to move supersu to system app then all good!
status of su proven by:
terminal emulator ($ + SU = #)
for safety reasons you can know all went well by typing:
$ su
# reboot
if the device reboots then you are good as power off is not a su command but reboot option is
titanium backup "status on splash screen confirmed su access" "removed facebook app" can some one upload the
non-updated face book app so i can put it back and get a full blown firmware back up. as i had to confirm this working
the quickes thing i could think of to verify was dumping facebook app
busy box "confirmed su is installed and busy box did update sucessfully"
supersu "kept disappearing, used link2sd to move superuser to system fixed this" During this time i still had su access
but with the "lack" of supersu it would not prompt me for su access but would grant access automatically.
dont know why but supersu would not show in titanium untill i did this.
I just have to say with so many things going on in life breaking my little phone from its cage has made me smile!
thanks again rootdefyxt320!
If this has helped you please scroll down and hit the "thanks" button for user rootdefyxt320 as i did. wish they had a thanks a million button
ORIGINAL POST:
PREVIOUSE POST AND POSSIBLY DATED INFO FOLLOWS:
First off I am requesting any developers help to figure this out, I want to thank in advance the
awesome devs and community of xda as im sure there is some one out there way more
knowledgeable than I willing to help. Simply put please educate me as im willing to learn what it
takes to complete this task sucessfully.
Hello, today I have a whole slew of questions about the Motorola Defy XT, XT555c to be exact.
It seems as though there are many different defy's out there and this on has the least amound
of development. I am attempting to get all the info in to one place as searching for this device
seems a bit messy. I will update this thread as info is found\refound and brought to my attention.
Enough of the mumbo jumbo, off to the good stuff...
Chances are if you arte reading this you already know that all the "normal" methods of rooting
android (z4root, super1click, Framaroot, republic wirless .apk root) does not work for this device with 2.3.7
as all known exploits had been "fixed" by motorola. This is the first device of about 20 android
devices that I havent been able to research and root! Im creating this post in hopes to grab the
attention of any developer willing to help.
My PC configurations:
windows 7 x64 & x86, moto drivers
ubuntu 12.04 x86 installed to and running from 16gb usb thumb drive, moto rules created a.k.a. drivers for linux
adb installed on all of the above systems
Device specifics:
model xt555c
android ver. 2.3.7
baseband ver. pcr
kernel ver. Apps_2.6.38.6-perf
build no. 1_67d_1014
NOTES:
*ubuntu stick was created soley for the root procetures for the xt555c
*I preferr to use ubuntu but if nesasary I have windows at my disposal
*both win and ubuntu speak to the device flawlessly (ADB)
*used adm to grab logcat @ boot (see attached)
*need to grab full backup of system software because you know how this sort of
thing goes. Any suggestions?
*this particular defy in question was apparently manufactured/released in 2012
*This particular defy XT555C is also called other model numbers on various sites.
It has become increasingly difficult to find out witch defy I hold in my hand due to
conflicting specs\models on various other sites. some are dualband and others not.
some do not have a front camera, some state 800mhz processor while others state 1ghz
but all are called "defy XT"
Questions I have currently are:
Is this device downgradeable? possible solution (use google translate) www.android-hilfe.de/2729429-post10.html
Are the firmwares from any other defys capable of running on this device?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827338
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
**Zeroemd: "Also the only difference between xt555c and xt535 is the region and the CDMA for US and GSM for Asia"
If any one can confirm this then it may be possible to use other firmwares from other models of defy and simply
have issues to hammer out with the "modem/radio" . I remember from the early cyanogen days and the MT3G you could
flash any number of builds and combine those builds with different radio versions and get insanely different results but as
i remember it if you ended up with the wrong radio all else would work you simply would have bad/low cellular signal, lacking
3g/data or no signal at all.
Here is the terminal output that I get when attemting any thing that requires su\root:
[email protected]:~$ adb devices
List of devices attached
TBEN1238500049 device
[email protected]:~$ sudo -s
[sudo] password for reemo:

$ adb reboot

The info found at the following link has led me to feel the need to investigate the boot
process to resolve rooting method hints the boot-logcat
http://www.apriorit.com/our-company/dev-blog/255-android-rooting
The logcat from ADM taken from "phone off" to "fully booted @ lock screen" has been
attached along with screen shots of my device info
I am aware of the "bad substitution" error. due to laziness and sligh bad config Ive just been "cd"ing to the directory
more info to thumb through and organize at a later date
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Motorola_Defy#Rooting_DEFY.2B_Bootloader_v7
I have included pictures of my lense as I am colorblind, red green colorblind to be exact. ive showed the pictures on
line in hopes some one could tell me what color mine is... every one seems to tell me the lense is black. if any one
wants to look at these and tell me it would be greatly appreciated.
Good Luck
I wish you good luck and thank you for trying to give this great little phone some well deserved attention.

I'm awaiting reply from one of the defy devs in hopes to get some one to help me make light of things. I was
reading that apparently gingerbreak has been patched on a lot of devices as it its a security vulnerability. There
are other people/devices with our dreaded "gingerbreak proof" issue. Either I/we figure it out, some one hears
our cries for help or its exploited for another device and ported to ours using other exploits not found to date.
Wish I had better news.
Developers please tell me if there its more info needed to start this rooting process. I'm sure finding testers
won't be an issue a time goes by people will lay there defys to the side along with Motorola for devices we can
do what we want with. Thanks in advance.

I'm partially color blind, red green to be exact so i have to find alternate ways
to find out which lense i have. as for framroot i jumped up and tried it and in seconds i get an error#5.
dev for that package of exploits states
"What means error# on result ?
All errors less or equal to 9 mean your device is not vulnerable"

I suggested it because it made rooting easier on complicated devices, (like a Droid pro with an Argentinian SBF, which requires ubuntu to root.)
Check the framaroot post maybe you will find something or try to contact its creator.
If i find anything I will PM you.

stubborn little phone, thanks for the tip though
@reemobeens19 Please do the Canadian XT615 Root Method to root your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44058727&postcount=92
If you want the English version of the Canadian XT615 root program, refer to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45212970&postcount=102
The Canadian XT615 Root Program
@reemobeens19 This Canadian XT615 Root program can root all Motorola Android Phones on Android 2.3.7 and it will install a Chinese SuperUser on your device.
How to check for root after using the root program. Please use cmd to type in these commands
Code:
adb shell
Code:
su
and it should give you a # sign in cmd.
After that you can update to another SuperUser program from the Play Store such as Superuser by ChainsDD, SuperSU by Chainfire or SuperUser by koush.
@reemobeens19 Does your Defy XT have fastboot mode? I'm going to help you to port CWM.
You can test it by typing this command in cmd
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
If your phone reboots normally means your phone doesn't have fastboot mode . If your phone gets stuck on a screen with the M logo then you have fastboot mode

MBM Flash-mode.
Tinboost+ EVDO TRACFONE
version: 01.08
Bootloader USB Init SECURE BOOT ENABLED
bootloader right, not fastboot?
how can i obtain a full system back up including recovery and boot loader?
i would like to do this from the command as im using ubuntu for most of my work.
once i have the back up how then do i restore it back to the device in case of failure?
once again thank you very much for the well needed assistance

Yes, that is the bootloader. Use this tool to make a nandroid backup and restore nandroid backup http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25328650
Okay, I need help unlocking the bootloader. I don't really understand the instructions on the Motorola website. Thx!

Motorola only supports a few devices and the odds that this one will ever be supported
are slim as it is not a "main stream" device. One thing i hate messing with are
bootloaders. Im currenty awaiting proven methods my self before attempting to
heavily modify this device. ive been playing a lot with linux and have "broken" my pc
numerous times in the past few weeks trying to learn more about under the hood unix.
one thing i cant seem to "fix" rather than reinstall is the bootloader when its broken im
hoping it will help me better understand what is going on in side this little android. if there are proven methods
im willing to try them as i took the plunge and rooted. does any one have any advice for this?
@reemobeens19 Can you please provide me your build.prop and flex.prop please so I can obtain the original firmware for you? Thanks
I just bought a xt555c from straight talk and tried both the Asian and English programs posted on this thread but neither of them worked for me. At the risk of sounding dumb did I miss something. I turned on the phone, enabled USB debugging and clicked the green button. It recognized my device as an xt555c, said rooting. Then my phone rebooted and the program said try again... Can anyone tell me where I went wrong? Thanks in advance.

I have been running CM 11 on my XT907. A 2/10/14 update installed and a day or so later the phone went into some really bizarre read only state. I can boot the phone, but it constantly crashes on gapp and acore processes, I can get into settings but do very little. ADB does not seem to be able to load, when I try to run things that need ADB the phone constantly goes online and offline. I can boot into fastboot and run RSDLite and Matt's utility. They both actually run like they are writing back the original images(no errors) but the phone reboots to CM11. I am running CWM 6.0.4.4, very little I can do here. Anything I try to flash runs but doesn't actually apply. I tried Moto WP Nomo and it just says what are you doing here, I am assuming because it isn't written for the 907. I am stuck at this point, phone has been a brick for a month. Can I just replace the internal SD card at this point...or take it out and format in my PC and start over? I am done trying to unbrick this thing at this point.
Wp no mo will work on the m. Jcase said it would. Search my post in the related thread. It is your only hope. There is a xt926 user in q & a same issue.
I have tried to run it on multiple PC's at home and I have no idea what the problem is but it bombs out. It gets past the update check(which errors out if you are behind a FW), it gets into ADB mode because I get the prompt on the phone to accept it the connection...but then it comes back with something like "Why are you doing here? Why me????? Why?????" Or something to that effect. While I appreciate the developer who wrote the app, the error checking messages he built into are ridiculous. I have read other posts on the utility who get cryptic messages from doing basic things like not running it out of the right working directory.

Ok, so i made a rookie mistake and completely wiped my phone ready for a new install, without moving the files for the install across 1st. So now I cannot get the PC to recognise a device is plugged in to send across the cludyflexg3 rom files. I have twrp installed and can get to that with the power off/down combo on boot but this doesnt help a great deal without the files being accessible.
I can also load the updater with up and power but as the device was rooted this is picked up and it doesn't progress.
I tried IOroot and this doesnt seem to do anything either, window just closes when I hit enter. Any idea how I can flash across the rom somehow?
[as a quick update, IOroot will get to the point where it enables daemon but it just sits there waiting for the phone to respond, which it obviously won't. Is there anything I can do from within twrp to get a version of android installed? There are no recovery files I can find on the device after the wipe.
Is there really nothing I can do? I have now installed and set up adb. But my device doesnt show up with adb from any menu I use... (when using command line adb devices) and also when using adb usb command, I get "device not found"
Any help at all guys? this has been up 2 hours, I've always found this forum very helpful, but I really need my phone up and running asap as I use it for work, it is essential. Even the smallest bit of advice to at least get me to the next step would be really great. Thanks.
Could I possibly get a micro usb storage device, put the rom file on there and load it using twrp? If this is possible I may be without my phone a few days but at least it would work eventually.
Im sorry about the above posts, I tried to tidy the question and delete the previous posts but this isn't possible. Could an admin do this please, but I still need help with this issue. Please, anyone!

if adb is not working then a usb otg would be the solution, they are used to connect usb devices(mouse/keyboard/usb drives/etc) into our phones; here is a link for reference so you know what to look for

Cheers I'll see if the supermarket has them at a half reasonable price, otherwise ebay has them for £1 delivered and I'll have to wait. Thanks for the reply and confirmation that would work though.
