[Q] Incredibly Frustrated With This Defy Help Please? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Community!
I just got the Defy for my mother, and I am currently trying to put Miui on it for my mom. This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110
I'm currently stuck right now... I was able to flash using RSD lite the nordic 2.2.2 sbf (3.4.2_177,) but whenever I put an SD card into the phone I'm stuck waiting for it to boot.
Please don't say "first boot takes a long time." I went to work and worked 9 hours and left the phone on waiting for it to boot... It didn't boot. I really hope that the first boot isn't supposed to be longer than 9 hours.
Not having an sd card prevents me from downloading any apps from the market (2nd init) or even putting CWM on the phone...
I've tried to ADB push, but whenever I try it, it says "fail" because of "read only."
I then try "adb shell sysrw" and that doesn't work either...
I've tried the T-Mobile SBF and the UK SBF, they both boot, but once the SD card is in. No go.
Can anyone offer any help??
Thank You,
lilhugo
edit: I forgot to mention I've tried 4 different micro sd cards, 1 2gb class 2, 2 8gb class 4, 1 32 gb class 10 and they all read perfectly fine on my Sensation.
By it didn't boot, I mean that it was stuck at the M logo forever.

I've done that. It din't help. =/ I also used the format/factory reset from stock recovery too.
I'm curious if I would be able to any of the Gingerbread sbfs and use that MIUI rom. Anyone know?

it can sill work if you update your bl to version5(GB2.3.4,NOT2.3.6),so you could try to flash GB SBFs.

Okay I'll try that. Thankfully the person I bought this phone from kept it bone-stock... I'll report back if doing that helped.

If your computer has an SD reader use a micro SD adapter to delete the pdi15.img from the root of your card. Then you will be able to then boot back into recovery and flash the rom or new kernel again. I hope this helps you out.
Edit: pd151.img

Lol wow - I am in this exact same scenario - placed both kernel and radio on my sd card, flashed the kernel, got stuck at boot loop, and can't get back to recovery to flash the "first time" kernel because hboot only gives me the option of updating radio...
So...I unfortunately don't have an sd card reader on my computer to easily remove the pd15 radio file...is there any way around this? Or is removing the pd15 file from my sd card the only solution??
Ok...I remembered my girlfriend's computer has an sd card reader, I put mine in, and when I try to remove the pd15 radio file, it says it can't be deleted...WTF!? What should I do??
So it looks like the card is "read only" on my girlfriend's computer...but I can't put it into my computer to change the read/write permissions!!! Argh...!!!
I sorted it out....phew! I mounted a different sd card via my phone, fixed the kernel issue by running 'firs time' kernel, and was able to power up phone. Looking good now.

[Q] Stuck at Samsung Screen

Can someone please help me? I have a Samsung focus that was recently acting up.. Games wouldn't open etc.. so I decided to reset it.. After I reset it.. Its now stuck at the Samsung logo after resetting.. I am guessing that I need to reflash it.. If so, I need to make sure my battery isn't dead. Does the Phone charge while showing the Samsung boot logo?? Help Please..
I dont have a focus but with a Google search looks bout the same as I wud do on my epic ..found this if it helps http://forums.androidcentral.com/dr...ks/130642-help-stuck-samsung-boot-screen.html
Alright, heres what I did.1. Rebooted in*CWM2. Wiped data/factory reset3. Wiped cache partition4. Wiped dalvik cacheAt this point I couldn't reflash because I forgot I couldn't access my SD card, I kept getting the "e:can't mount /sdcard" message whenver I went to install zip from sd card.5. Took off the back and pooped out the SD card and put it right back in. Seemed to work6. Flashed 2.07. Flashed kejar's sd card fix8.

Thanks for your help but seeing as your phone is an Android phone, I don't think the same process applies. But thanks for the effort, I have this baby up and running now.. I just had to reflash the ROM.. Thanks again :good:

If you have decided to reflash then use ROM provided by 'voluptuary' (3.10a). And moreover, to flash, it would not matter if your battery is getting charged. Just plug the device to your PC using the USB cable and flash the device.
Be VERY sure you flash the correct ROM for your phone. If you have a version 1.3, then ONLY flash 1.3 ROMs to it. If you have a version 1.4, then ONLY flash 1.4 ROMs to it. You can find the version number under the battery on the sticker. If you flash the wrong version of ROM to it, you will end up with a brick.
When having problems like this, I would recommend flashing the Stock ROM to it first to set everything back to normal. Then, if that works fine, go to custom ROMs if desired. Stock flashing will replace everything back to new settings, including spl, radio, etc... Some of the custom ROMs are truly worth flashing, FASTER, stable, nice features.

[Q] U8800-51 totally ruined! pls help

Hello guys! first of all sorry for my English!...well i messed up my u8800-51 and i cant get it to work, i´ve read most of related posts, but nothing work, so i'll try to explay what happened, i hope u understand my issue and help me...
Ok i had a 2.3.5 GB non-official installed, from androidmovida.. my phone was working just fine, but due to all the apps and media it was kind of slowing down, so i restored it to factory settings... when i did this, my phone started up normal, and it was almost perfect again, but i realized that even without any app installed i had 800mb of the ROM occupied, leaving me less than 200mb, this was just wrong, the ammount of memory used just after a factory reset should be around 350mb... so i installed cwm 5.0.2.7 and booted it to recovery mode, here i pressed;
wipe data/factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
and what i think that screwed my phone..i went to mount and storage and pressed format /system...
Since then my phone didnt start, but i was able to get into the recovery mode... so i downoaded the stock 2.2 froyo from huawei
(this page is in spanish cuz the phone is sold in Venezuela).
i formated my SD card, and put the dload folder in its root and the update process started, but failed...
now i cant even get to the recovery mode, ive tride the process to install the fw a million times and it keeps failling..
and i just can get to the updating process or to the pink screen..if i connect my phone and leave it connected it shows up the logo and turn off, and repeat over and over..
my guess is that somehow i cant install the rom because the memory is almost full, but i have no idea of how to clear it!
if any of u guys can help me i would appriciate it a lot!!!
again sorry for my English and for the long post, but i wanted to be specific so you dont waste time telling me to do things ive already done! thank you!!!!

You need a micro sd reader and hook it up to a computer than copy the stock gb over and delete the old froyo. You should've asked.
I've read this may work, but android movida was closed down.
Try this.

sorry its embarrasing i have to ask, but i'm new with android so im a little lost! but according to what i got to learn last night trying to make my phone come back to life, there's no GB stock for the u8800-51, actually the only stock fw in huawei was the one i downloaded, and the one i installed from androidmovida required froyo to be succesfully updated..anyways ill download GB to see what happens, but if you could be a little more specific it would be nice, buecause as i said, i just learned a few things last night!!
Thank you very much for your help!

Problems installing new ROM

Dear All,
After losing my Samsung Galaxy Note in Amsterdam during a heavy weekend I am back on my girlfriend's old ZTE Blade and have been trying to update it a little.
I downloaded the KonstaKang ROM and GApps to the ext. Sd card and booted into clockwork mod recovery (I rooted and flashed a custom rom for her when I gave it to her originally).
I did the full wipe just to make it all as clean as poss and went to install the new rom but ran into some problems.
Firstly the sd card could not be accessed. It was if it was not mounted. I tried various things including mounting it in mounts and storage, restarting recovery, reformatting the sd in another android and the pc etc. Eventually (it felt random) it let me choose zip from sd.
Thats when the rom was selected but it then told me that the rom was (bad) and would not install. Again I redownloaded it and another rom and also a new version of cwm. Still nothing would work it was all (bad).
Out of frustration I kept trying and eventually it changed its mind and let me install the rom. After installation I attempted to reboot system but it just hanged at the boot logo and would go no further.
I have tried all the above multiple times and all combos of things I can think of to get it to work but no luck. The phone randomly seems to decide if the .zips are (bad) but at least it allows me to access them now. Ive also tried installing the other rom and new cwm but nothing will work. Boot logo and nothing more.
Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong? Whats the best way to get a rom on this old blade?!
Many thanks x

Well, first, you have an S3. Why use the Blade?
Second, have you looked into TPT + ROM? Also, what Gen blade is it? Once you can get something stable like cm7 booting, we can progress further

Well I believe it is a gen2 blade. I vaguely remember having to update it from gen1 but I cant be 100% sure. It was a long time ago!
I am using my girlfriends s3 to get on these forums so unfortunately I cant keep it!
I havent looked at tpt + rom and am unsure what that is at the moment . I shall have a read.
I must also say that I managed to install a new version of cwm but still no luck with any roms.
I am loading new roms on the ext sd from this s3 or through my pc I was wondering if the files were getting corrupted somehow. My pc doesnt see the phone so I have to use a card reader.
So yes roms are still saying 'cant open... (bad)' error when trying to install...
Thanks for your reply

[Q] [HELP] Bricked Defy - black screen, white led, no sbf works

Hi all
So, I have a problem with my Defy (MB525 green lens). The best will be, if I'll write my full story. Here is it:
Story
I had Defy with CM 10. It had bloated battery. I wasn't using it for 6 months because I have another phone.
Some time ago, I decided, that I'll give Defy to my grandfather. On Tuesday this week I bought new original battery. I put it in the Defy, and charge it. I could boot up my old system as I wrote, CM 10. While it was charging, I detected that I haven't got SD Card. On the other hand, I found some 4GB Samsung SD, which had my father in his Desire. The SD Card had 3 partitions, which I tried to delete, and make only one, with GParted. After I did it, Linux and Windows can't see it. (This is almost other problem, which I'm trying to solve here http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=350683)
But, when I put the CD Card to Defy, in TWRP recovery I could see some strange symbols. I thought, that I can repair something when I wipe SD Card. When the battery charged, I decided to do factory reset and wipe SD card. Here is my first failure. In TWRP I went to custom wipe, and here I marked everything including system and I wiped it. Then I remembered that system is recovery too. TWRP wrote, that everything except SD-Ext and SD was wiped. I known that this will be a problem. Yes, after reboot only Motorola logo without recovery.
I think, there was only one option - flash SBF, which I did. I went to stock bootloader and with sbf flash in Linux, I flashed this:
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
And than this:
CM7RC1.5_16_09_11_custom.sbf
After reboot, I got bootloop. I tried to replace battery, do factory reset but nothing helped. That time I haven't got working card, so I couldn't flash some zip via CWM recovery. Thus, I again flash another SBF, but I don't really remember which. Probably some official CEE Froyo however, I'm not sure.
After that and reboot, I got only black screen with white led lighting while USB was connected. When I wanted to go to stock bootloader, still black screen, but I can flash SBF, and while flashing, screen have brightness and text about flashing.
I knew that this is little hard brick. I again tried to flash other SBF which I have or I downloaded (yes, again I don't know which). One of SBFs which I flashed was some fixed Chinese SBF . That made my defy booting, screen working, but still bootlooping. I couldn't reach any recovery.
Again, I flashed other SBFs, CM's too but nothing worked and I got black screen again.
And this was end of my story.
Current situation
I have Defy (MB525 green lens), with unknown framework an it had only black screen and what only I can do, is break Defy with hammer or flash some SBF.
So, here is list of all SBF files, that I have downloaded and probably tried to flash: (No order)

Probably that is all what I have.
I've read many topics with similar problem and guides, but nothing helped me, or SBFs were unavailable.
So, what have I to flash, or which guide to try, if I want working Defy?
Sorry for my not good English

Story
After a long time (4 months)...
Accidentally today I found my favorite custom ROM - MoKee OS, for Defy. I said to myself: "Hm, I have some time... I'll try to flash this MoKee on my Defy and maybe it solve my problem with (not) charging/unknown battery for system."
I picked out box with Defy from drawer, wiped the dust, took the Defy and said: "Sh*t! I haven't got SD Card!" Fortunately I found one. I download MoKee OS zip on that SD Card, put it to Defy, booted to recovery and flash MoKee OS zip. (...with full wipe of course...) Then rebooted to system.
Uselessly. Still unknown battery. "Hmm, It doesn't matter. Maybe here are some new stuffs which can solve my problem." And I continued to finding something, that can solve my problem. After a while I found ROMs with new 3.0 Kernel by Quarx. HERE. I downloaded CM 11 EXPERIMENTAL with this kernel and update recovery and flashed them. I didn't read thread. After reboot system didn't boot up and TWRP was inaccessible. I found why when I read some posts from that thread. HERE. But I couldn't flash that zip via recovery because I couldn't open recovery. So I mount /system to USB from bootloader and added files from zip manually to /system partition. After reboot it jammed on booting up. But TWRP was accessible so I did full wipe and flashed CM 11 EXPERIMENTAL and than that fix zip by @lorcotti. After that it finally booted up and battery was working and charging!
And they all lived happily ever after. :laugh:
SO, If you have some problem as me (unknown battery after flashing GB SBF on MB525), try this:
1. Download recovery and some ROM from [Kernel][GPL] Development 3.0 Kernel and fix from this post.
2. Put all zips on your SD Card.
3. Boot up to recovery.
4. Flash update-recovery.zip.
5. Reboot to recovery.
6. Do full wipe.
7. Flash ROM with 3.0 Kernel.
8. Flash Fix.
9. Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
10. Reboot to system.​
If you want, you can flash GAPPS via recovery too.
But this will not be for daily usage! 3.0 Kernel by Quarx have a lot of bugs!
Thanks all!

Yeah!
Today I again tried to flash chines SBF. This one: JDGC_U6_2.13.0 China Unicom Thread/Download !!!BL6 kernel !!!
JDGC_U6_2.13.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANAPCNCU_P017_A042_M006_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
...and now I have bootable phone . I read many topics again and I got to know how to aces stock recovery. So I made wipe on this chines ROM and I can boot without loop, but I can only do emergency call with SIM it is the same. So, now, I don't know, what have I to do/flash, how to root it and flash here custom rom. Can I use SuperOneClick if it probably haven't got turned on USD Debugging?
Back on black
So, I made sbf file with depacker...
CMG39 from JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P011_A010_HWp3_Service1FF
and all others from JDGC_U6_2.13.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANAPCNCU_P017_A042_M006_HWp3_Service1FF except CMG31.
Than the bootscreen changed from chines logo to grey motorola logo and I got Bootloader (9.00) Error A5,70,39,00,27. After that I flashed another sbf and I got Error A5,70,00,00,23. Than I flashed DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf and now I again have only black screen. F*ck!
I tried to flash my made sbf and chines one (JDGC_U6_2.13.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANAPCNCU_P017_A042_M006_HWp3_Service1FF) too but nothing...
Really here is nobody who can help please??? I want give Defy as Christmas gift. :crying:
OK, so repetition.
What mistakes I've made
1. I wipe wipe all including system partition in TWRP without any flashable zip on SD card.
2. I continued with flashing original SBF, while I have usable CWM.
3. I flashed many no downgradable GB SBFs.
4. I flashed Defy Plus SBF on Defy.
I hope that there is still hope.
Somehow to downgrade, flash only CWM where I can flash nandroid backup or I don't know what else...
a gingerbread sbf should also work on green lens defy as there is no diff. in hw... instead the cam
have you tried a factory reset in stock recovery after sbf flash ?

Now, after all (which I tried) SBFs I get only black screen. I tried many GB SBFs too, but still black screen...
I'm going to try some another Poland SBFs and than if that won't work, I'll try to flash all in Froyo CEE SBF particularly.
Thanks for your response.
Once you've flashed GB stock sbf you can't go back staight to froyo or else
Read the beginners guide and the SBF matrix sektion carefully.. if you haven't...

DFP 231 has been flashed by you, so no froyo sbf will work. Black screen on dfp 231 indicates some eMMC problem, because bl version is highest(no error possible). IMHO only service centre can disable bl check or replace the main board to fix the problem
The problem should have been solved at the boot loop issue by wiping from stock recovery, no network solved by baseband/radio fixes. Check the rsdlite log file to confirm checksum/access errors. I think that the custom sbf somehow messed up either eMMC or efuse(less likely, unheard of).
For sdcard error wipe everything using hdd llf. If any error persists it's a hardware issue

I know, I read it few times, and I know how it is (not) working. But, after all GB SBFs I got only black screen, so maybe were not correctly flashed... I'm using Linux and here is sbf_flash for flashing SBFs, and in it I can't view informations about phone as in RSD Lite... But maybe, it will work in wine..
Do you now, that if I flashed GB SBF, I have to flash another GB to solve my problem, because no Froyo will work?
@thekguy
I know how I can solve others problems. Only what I need help to solve is black screen.
Can't I flash something which support that high BL or it won't work?
check if you get into Bl. modus
press vol. up & then power button
tell what you see

That's what I'm saying, the black screen problem occurs due to bl version mostly, and you have highest bl, so in theory black screen is impossible. Unfortunately I have never seen in this forum any defy recovering from black screen after flashing dfp231. Check rsd log from windows if possible. Froyo sbf cannot work under any circumstance. You must flash only gb sbf

I'm stuck in same problem, downloading this sbf you mention before, hope it works. Fu^kin defy, it sucks
@Alejandrissimo
Good luck...
I have another problem. Now, I have GB kernel. In original 2.3.6 GB on MB525 green camera don't work, and battery too. So, I thought that, when I flash Froyo kernel (CM) and CM7 I got back Froyo kernel and working camera and battery. Yes, this was not possible. After I did it and rebooted it I got Bootloader error. I flashed DFP-231 again. Worked.
Than I tried restore Froyo from nandroid which I found something here on forum. Than I flashed CM7 and bootloader error again.
Now I have CM7 by Maniac for defy plus which worked well except camera and battery... I know that here are many topics about downgrading, camera fixing and others but all which I read are bad in something for me...
Here are some options what I found but I don't know if I can use one:
Method 2: (BIG thanks to Jebrew again for this one)
NOTE: You are going to need CM7 for this one. CM7 Stable version recommended.

DOWNGRADE
If you come from Android 2.1 and never flashed Android 2.2 you can use the fixed sbf-files method. With this method you will have a option to downgrade to you personal stock Android 2.1 via direct sbf flash.

Congrats man! Seems that rsdlite on Windows is the most reliable solution. Now to fix everything just flash cm10 (jelly bean) or later rom. It includes fixes for camera and battery
Again, no downgrading bl(not even jtag will work)

Oh, ok. I'll try it. Thanks.
Hmm, and than, can I flash CM7 by Maniac or JB/GB WIUI and fixes in CM10 will still working?
Ms2ginger is not good for me because it haven't got slovak language. I'll give defy to my grandfather.
//And now, in Quarx CM 10 my battery don't charge. I tried 2 chargers and charging via USB too.
In options, battery is still "60% - Unknown"

There's a cm7 2ndboot build which should work for you. Try cm10.1 or above, problem should be solved.
JB wiui includes those fixes, as does cm7 2ndboot. I don't think that wiui GB has them. I would personally go for cm10.1 or above
