Hi all,
i had installed cyanogen mod on my defy and all was perfect.
After that i tried to install defy_recovery-1218-0326-signed.apk and it says that was installed successfully.
I tried to boot in recovery mode and when i power up the phone it stays on the initial logo forever (cyanogen mod 7..).
I tried to flash my version founded here sbf.droid-developers org but it make the same things on boot...
What should I do?
Please help me, i bought that phone yesterday!

yeah, i tried it now, i didn't know this method and it works...
But sorry man, what version should i install? Now I have 2.3.6 (i don't know why, it's the only version that work that i tried) but i would like to install Cyanogen Mod V7...
Can you explain me what should i do? Thank you very mutch!
So you flashed and 2.3.6 sbf? Do you have a Defy+ or a normal defy?
If you have a normal defy and you have a green lense, you can't use your camera anymore (kernel limitation) even not on CM.
To install CM7, download a Defy+ nightly (even if you have a normal defy, cause you are on defy+ kernal) form here: http://www.defy-cm.net/
You must not use defy_recovery-1218-0326-signed.apk any more.
Use 2nd init form: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
When you have installed 2nd init: reboot, wait for blue led, press volume up,go to custom recovery, install the zip downloaded earlier.
But to install 2ndInit i have to get the root permission, how can i do it? With oneClick it doesn't work....
Yes I have the Defy MB525...
EDIT:
yeah, i get root permission and i installed 2ndinit but what should i do to get into recovery mode? I don't understand
RE-EDIT: I had to press power down button, not up...
I did the same mistake on my Moto defy ... did you get it to boot back up and if so how ? Ty to whom ever helps

Yeah it doesn't get past the HTC screen when I try to boot it, I've tried everything, it unrooted and stock right now. I can't use adb but I can use fastboot, I've tried the T-Mobile updates and ruu but nothing helps. I don't know what else to try.

I recently found the phone numbers in contacts being displayed like 123-456-789. Previously it was being displayed without "-". I tried to change the locale & regional settings but it didn't work ! Why is it so ? Now After I factory resetted the phone & selected locale & English (US), though this problem got sorted out. I am facing two new problems. My Android market does not update itself !!!!!!!!! & the progress of the ongoing downloads does not show/appears blank. I am very worried. plzz tell me what to do !! i am using stock 2.1 V20c (India) ROM in my rooted gt540. Previously I never had any issues with my phone. Plzz help it's urgent. I have tried to master reset my phn 5 times hoping the problem wud get solved but it didn't.
New problem- new downloads take a lot of time to start after they have been queued for download
well... I`am not sure if this will help....but i had some issues with market not updating itsef and displaying wrong letters in system...so i formated my system, boot, data and cache partition through clockworkmod recovery and then restored from backup, after that everything worked fine...now, I assume you don`t have a backup, or clockworkmod recovery....or do you??
No.. I dnt hav a backup. Recently when I rooted my phone I deleted everything in the system cache folder and also removed some built in apps like SNS,layar,task killer, vid editor and wapedia thinking this wud free up internal memory. I think that is where the prob originated. Now tell me wat to do...

I would reinstall the operating system (and i suggest you to do that)....first install rom manager from market.. if you can..then while still conected to internet install clockworkmod recovery (you`ll see an optyion in rom manager) when you do that..try to boot into recovery by presing power button (first shutdown your phone.....) and home button, when it turns on(holding) if you get something new...a menu, that`s recovery... now go and make a backup of you existing system....that way even if you make some bad choices you can always get your system back.........from this point you can put any ROM you like.... just download wanted ROM put it on the root(outside of any folder) of your sdcard ond go into recovery and choose instal from .zip.........I don`t have the time to search the stock 2.1 ROM v20c for you to install...you could try google
EDIT: here you can find all ROM-s, even a backup of 2.1
@ssik -- thanku so much 4 d detailed info..buddy.. as far as the complete list of original stock ROM's link goes... I already hav the link.. so u didn't hav to search it 4 me...anyways since u hav already done..thanx a lot..i owe u a lot 4 dat. so dont get disgusted..since I am new to this modding thing I feel frightened to hav my phn bricked while flashing...so I was asking 4 any othr alternative.

I think there is but it is untested and only just my theory.
Also, it doesn't matter what fastboot rom you flash, they all work the same, regardless of country etc

Sounds Like SBF Time
Sounds like SBF is going to be your friend here, if you don't know how, head to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11118819&postcount=2
and look for "SBF: What is it, and what does it do?!?"
OK, so i SBFed the phone, got all the way through it, got to the phone is rebooting and it just sits at the Moto "M" again. did i SBF wrong or what?
EDIT: I can get into the stock recovery... sort of. i can get to the ! with the droid next to it but nothing happens when i push the search button.
hmm, I know GB doesnt use the search button to pass that, try using vol UP+DOWN at the same time. perhaps the stock recovery isn't modified from SBF?
Woot that worked. got into recovery. wiped data and tryed a reboot, got stuck at logo again. should i try flashing back to the Rubix focused i had before?
Edit: it now boots into <3e> recovery and i get the e: signature verification failed instillation aborted when i try to install Rubix or Gingerale.

First enter into stock recovery, power + volume down till you get into Android with '!'. Then volume up + volume down, it can simply be done by pressing in the middle. Then wipe cache/data factory reset.
Reboot now and immediately press volume up, this would go to boot leader mode. open rsdlite and open the sbf you went flash, now connect USB cable, you should see 'connected' in rsdlite, just click on 'start'.wait till the process completes and say 'pass' in rsdlite. you're phone will be restarted by the rsdlite in the last stages, that itself indicates that flash is successful.
For list of sbfs see the sticky thread (guess the first one) from Walter79 on the defy development section and get the appropriate sbf, be careful that you don't flash which can't be downloadable.
Enjoy flashing!!

Flashing sbf is a different thing. Sbf's are flashed through RSDLite by connecting your phone to a pc..
Custom ROM's(flashable zip) are flashed through the phone recovery itself
.. Flashing a zip is a better way of doing it..
Also, while flashing, before doing a wipe, don't forget to make a backup from recovery..

Yes.! You will lose your apps, if your contacts are synchronized with you google account, you can get those back after..but for apps , make backup with Titanium backup or Mybackup root etc. so that you can restore those back..

I've rooted my wifes regular Defy (red lens). She'd like to try CM10 out, which I've been running for the past couple months on my Defy.
She's on stock T-Mobile US ROM and rooted. Installed Defy 2ndInit 2.3, granted it superuser permissions, clicked the install button, and was told "success" (green led was also on).
However, after rebooting her phone, the blue or green led never turns on like it does on my phone.
We've both been running custom ROM's for so long that I've not had to do this in a long time. Updating her from CM7 to CM10 didn't go well so I had to flash an SBF to her phone.
Any idea what I did wrong? Should I just try a different version?
Did you follow the instructions regarding USB debugging before installing 2ndinit?

Yah, USB debugging is turned on. In fact, it won't even let you install the recovery if USB debugging isn't enabled.
All you can do is: full wipe and flash stock sbf. use the latest version of 2ndinit. Beyond that I have no ideas
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
See thats the thing, I already flashed a stock SBF and used the latest version of 2ndinit.
I didn't do a full wipe prior because I was unable to enter custom recovery. Is there an option to do a full wipe in the stock recovery? I don't even recall how to get into it.
To enter stock recovery, press the volume up key while starting and hold. when you see a background hold both volume keys to get the menu for data wipe
IMO I think something is not getting wiped in the flash. You can try a legacy version of 2ndinit too. Select the ti blank flash option in rsdlite. Stock sbf+ data wipe + rooting is sufficient for 2ndinit. It certainly is a queer problem

I guess I was using Android 2.1 SBF, which you can enter recovery on by touching the bottom-right of the screen.
Anyway, after updating to 2.2 OTA, I was able to get custom recovery installed via 2ndinit. So all is good.

OK, if you want to get to stock recovery and you've already got the little android guy with the triangle on the screen, just touch the bottom right corner of your screen.
That should bring you into stock recovery if you're on eclair.
There's probably an OTA update available for you. To check for that, go to Settings, About Phone, and then Check For Updates (may be worded slightly different). I don't know if vodaphone ever did an update for the Defy though in India. But I suppose they probably did.
i have only four options available.
* Reboot System now
* Apply SDCard:update.zip
* Wipe data/factory reset
* Wipe Cache Partition
last night i tried with all the options and the only thing happened, just got all my data and app wiped. When I reboot the device, i got my eclair back and restored all the data using titanium. Am I doing something wrong here?
In fact, my device is not vodafone dependent. There are no updates available till date. In addition, i was trying to flash it using ICS CM10.
