I am trying to do an nandroid back up. The instructions say to power off, then hold the "Home Key" and the power button untill you see the triangle.
I am holding the picture of a house next to the menu key. Is that the correct key?
My unit just turns on normally even if I am holding mentioned key, which is the wrong key cause it should not have power until the phone is on and unlocked.
Thanks for help.

On the Droid 2 you have to go through a different way.
1. Make sure you have Koush's bootstrap app for the Droid 2.
2. Make sure you are bootstrapped via Koush's app.
3. Reboot to recovery through Koush's app.
You navigate menus with the volume buttons. You select with the camera button, and you go back with the power/lock button.
you can also utilize the keyboard arrows, use ok to select and delete to back up.

Ok, got it from the Market and it installed. I started it and did not know what to do, so I hit the first button, then the second button, then went to Backup/Restore and chose backup.
It is working as i type this.
Thank you so much
yes you would select backup. Once you do this it will backup to you backup folder on your sdcard. If you were to need to go back, you would utilize the restore option and select whichever backup you wanted to use.
if your phone is boot looping or anything to get into recovery:
-start up phone
-let the phone go to the bootscreen (the droid eye screen after the M logo)
-pull the battery out while in the bootscreen
-after a few seconds replace battery and boot up phone
-phone will boot into clockwork recovery

Good advice. I believe there is a flag that gets set when you shut down the phone, and it only gets reset when you successfully boot. That way, if you boot loop, when you try to boot again it goes to recovery.
This also manifests itself sometimes when you flash a rom. Everytime you boot, it first goes into clockwork recovery, which is annoying, but fixable. This problem occurs because you need to bootstrap again which allows the flag to get reset when the OS loads.
only bootlooping when connected USB
I dont know what happened I simply had my phone attached to my pc in USB mode (after transferring music to the sd card via "media sync") and when I switched to 'charge only' and attached my head phones, my phone went into a boot loop. i unplugged USB cord and bootloop stopped... anyone run into this at all? kinda frustrating since now i apparently can now longer attach to my pc.
any help would be greatly appreciated

http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series#Recovery_Mode
Factory reset
On the Galaxy S the soft-reset is achieved by pressing and holding the power button. A hard-reset can executed by pressing and holding VolumeUP+Home+Power. There you will find the options "reboot", "apply sdcard:update.zip", "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition".
The "wipe data/factory reset" option will restore your phone to the original configuration of the firmware YOU LAST INSTALLED (including any updates made via update.zip). This will NOT bring your phone back to the firmware installed when you originally bought it unless you haven't flashed your phone.
You can navigate the recovery screen using VolumeUp & VolumeDown and use the Home button to select.
jje
i did the factory reset and when i power on the phone it shows the "S" and just after that its black screen.
help plz
Also got a problem with my phone after updating to froyo 2.2 and then trying to apply a lag fix. Phone starts and I get the flashing S logo then the screen goes blank. Phone occasionally vibrates. Trying the Button Press listed above I'm not getting any options on my screen.
Please invest some effort in trying to solve this yourself. Read posts like these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870233, there are many many posts which describe to flash stock roms with Odin
Mine is now 100% bricked with the Screenshot. Did get adb to see the phone and got recovery mode up, didn't know what to do next really with Odin not sure how that software operates or how to re-install files. So unplugged the phone and now after some research thought I'd have another go but oh no its got the logo on it now.
Look 2 posts up ("help me unbrick my Galaxy") and read about Odin. As long as you can get into recovery or download, your Galaxy is not bricked (more a matter of its owner being clueless)
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Can't get into download or recovery mode, phone only has that image of the phone computer and exclamation mark now. Odin can't see phone if I connect it to PC. ADB can't locate the device either. Mine is totally bricked.
Wish I hadn't bothered with the upgrade to Froyo 2.2, my phone was operating okay on 2.1. Guess I'll have to call T Mobile in the morning to arrange for a repair/replacement of this handset.
If you could enter download mode before (volume DOWN + home + power), i don't see why you can't now. Pull out your sim card, external sd card and battery, wait a few minutes, then put battery in and try to open download mode. Then just flash whichever firmware you want via odin, and it'll work. I bricked mine two times today , also showed that image with an exclamation mark between a phone and computer.
I couldn't get download mode or recovery on my phone via the button press method. I got it up by having the phone on computer and using the adb command method. As Computer can no longer see the phone I can't use this method to get back to formatting and re-flashing the file.
Please spend some time to read it.

I recently upgraded Motorola Milestone 2 with Android 2.3.4 via motorola system upgrade
Before that I had froyo android that was installed with the phone when purchased
Is it possible to get back to froyo?
with 2.3.4 too often I get this error The application Home (com.motorola.blur.home process) has stopped unexpectedly.
and gives me the Force Quit button. I tried to reset the phone but did not help.
Before the upgrade I had this version
system version 62.4.24.a953.retail.en.it
firmware 2.2.2
mils2_U6_2.4.24
Now the phone
system version 64.1.22.A935.Retail.en.IT
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version EPU93_U_00.60.00
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-g7d2667a
Build number MILS2_U6_4.1-22
If there is a possibility to come back to froyo,
I do not know which Firmware Version should I put the phone and how to do.
Or maybe it is possible that with an identical model milestone2 purchased in the same shop at the same time which is still froyo,
backup and then do the backup I put in my phone?
(friend and I bought the same phone, it is not upgraded.)
If I missed the topic
move the post where it belongs, thanks
use a translator,
I hope to understand
You can't go back to Froyo now. Not through any backup etc.
I think you should try a data wipe. You will lose all your data after the wipe.
Power down your phone.
Power up your phone while holding the 'X' button.
You should reach a screen with '!' sign.
At this point, press vol up + Vol down simultaneously.
A recovery menu will pop up.
There will be an option to wipe data.
Scroll down using vol down.
Select 'wipe data' using camera button.
Try rebooting after that. It should boot up fine and should not give problems and errors.
I already tried it, but the problem remains
I add, the phone is in operation because of that, just annoying...i would love to be returned to the froyo or somehow solved the problem
Actually your error only looks like a launcher error. Just install some different launcher from the market like ADW or LauncherPro or Go Launcher and this will suppress the blur launcher and you should be okay.
Or you can try custom ROMs for GB kernel. There is a CM7 for GB in Dev section. You need to be rooted for that.
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App
Adw launcher installed, I'm going to test to see how it works
After the test:
Same thing with adw launcher. Some of the widgets in the opening, causing an error ..
The application home(process com.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedely.Please try again....
That's weird. May be you can paste a log cat. You can get an idea as to what is going wrong. Or some one who understands that can guide you.
can't you just try CM7 from dev section.
Edit: May be it's the whole blur set up that's giving problems. You can do a data-wipe and try re-flashing the sbf using RSDLite.
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA App
I thought to avoid Cm7 ... but if this is a solution ...
I wonder if, after a possible return to the original fw for my phone?
Here are some log
I think you should try to reflash the original 2.3.4 sbf with rsdlite and after that wipe everything from the recovery (data, cache, dalvik, batterystat...).
If it still doesn't work, try to flash another country's sbf (I'd go with one that has the same baseband settings as yours) and wipe everything too.
I know my solution may sound like killing an ant with an atomic bomb, but if a process like home crashes, it's a software problem. And there's no better way to solve a software problem than nuking the whole software on your phone and reinstall it from scratch
I'll try something like,
only to study exactly how it works .. I read the forum and ask for information
Hi,
Could it be a widget that cause force close on your launchers ?
Or a resident app, like antivirus, overclocking...
Seems strange, because I'm on official 2.3.4 without issues...
I use a standard widget, just as it was when the phone was bought nothing more is added.
Do not find a forum on how to reflesh with factory firmwer 2.3.4.
I think this is my phone MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_USAMILESTONE2B1B8RTIT014.0R_USXMILE2GBRTIT_P011_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz for Italy Retail MILS2_U6_4.1-22

I bought the same phone on december in italy and I have the same problems and more: my phone reboot randomly without any reasons and sometime other app crash with the same error message.
I update the phone on 2.3.4 without change....
I did factory reset in the menù option without change....
press power button + x button on boot freeze the phone on android image screen.
I used phone without widget for some day but continue to crash and reboot.
I hope to find a solution with your help!
p.s. sorry for my bad english ;-)
I forgot to write it and for me the same thing with the power + x .. only freeze
The only way to reset my phone
from setings / privacy / factory data reset
If you see the exclamation sign screen after Power + X button, it is not freeze. On that screen you have to press both the volume keys together i.e. 'vol up + vol down'. (If that does not work try '@' key from keyboard).
Now you should have a menu with options to wipe data etc.
Finally I came to it, while pressing
vol up + vol down
thank you
When I contacted Motorola for help about my problem they sent me this guide:
1- Insert battery and power on phone while pressing "X" key on qwerty keypad - release "X" key after you see MOT batwings.
2- You should now see an ! in a triangle with Android guy. Press the "@" key on qwerty keypad to enter factory menu.
3- Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" and then use Camera side key to select "wipe data/factory reset"
4- Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "Yes - delete all user data" and then use Camera key to select "Yes - delete all user data"
5- Wait for operation to complete (maybe 1 minute or so) and then press camera key to select "reboot system now"
According to this instruction is not done nothing
This is how I did
1- Insert battery and power on phone while pressing "X" key on qwerty keypad - release "X" key after you see MOT batwings.
2- You should now see an ! in a triangle with Android guy. Press the "vol up + vol down" to enter factory menu.
3- Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" and then use "enter" key on qwerty keypad to select "wipe data/factory reset"
4- Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "Yes - delete all user data" and then use "enter" key on qwerty keypad to select "Yes - delete all user data"
5- Wait for operation to complete (maybe 1 minute or so) and then press "enter" key on qwerty keypad to select "reboot system now"
camera and "@" key - in my case does nothing
We'll see if the problem will be solved when you do the wipe data..
'@' was valid till Froyo build. For Gingerbread 'vol up + vol down' works.
Thanks sahilarora911, I press vol up + vol down and I do factory reset and format cache... the system is more stable but the login with xda app cause first system crash :-( I hope this is an isolated event.....

Hello there!
As you mentioned that you are not able to see other Recovery options like "Install from zip" etc. This is because you must be booting your phone into the Stock Recovery. For those extra options to come up we need to boot the phone into the Custom Recovery.
To boot into Custom Recovery:
1. Press power on button;
2. Notice when the LED light blinks "BLUE" color; press both the volume keys this time;
3. Now it should show you Custom Recovery options this time;
4. Select "Install from Zip" and flash the ROM you were trying to flash (Also refer to the ROM info if that has some special installation steps).
If the above steps does not resolves the issue then you can always flash you phone with the Stock ROM found in the following article named as SBF:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
[Note: Above mentioned article has all the information that a defy user needs. Thanks "Zephyrot" for that wonderful article.]
Hope that helps!
Good Luck!!
there is no blue led, when press power button it stuck on red moto logo..
and when press both vol down and power it goes into recovery with limited options.
can it is possible i put rom into sd card and rename it with Update.zip and then in recovery use it with update zip..
or any other solution
Thanks

I'm disappointed to know that you are still facing the same issue. Also, renaming the file to update.zip will not let you flash it.
As suggested above first recharge your battery for a while and then flash with appropriate SBF of your region using RSD Lite. Refer to the above given link it has all the information. Also, note that if you flash with any particular android version SBF (which is not a fixed SBF) then you will not be able to downgrade (above article has all info).
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!
Okay, thanks for all.. this is the T Mobile Uk version and i got it with eclair rom, and than updated with orignal T mobile froyo.
Now i should start from froyo or eclair?

You may use any ROM either Froyo or Eclair. Please also check the downgradilbility of the ROM. As in many of the cases if the ROM is not fixed then switching back to the earlier versions is impossible without having the Nandroid backup. I suggest you to use the version which is officially released in your region.

It seems an issue with the Kernel. May be you are flashing the Green lense Defy (MB525) with GB kernel (i.e. MB526 sbf).
Also check the Bootloader version and which Android version you were using.

Hope this helps.
PS:- I don't use Defy for a year now as I own a Nexus 4.
I have a problem with my Motorola defy(non+). After i installed by mistake Android 4.4 with kernel 3.0 by Quarx, my defy wouldn't boot into the OS.
Tried to install another ROM but it ran into a problem and failed. Tried to install after that a new SBF because i don't know why the recovery menu was not there anymore.
Suddenly, after it finished, i noticed the phone won't power up anymore. It happened to me 2 times in the past and just adjusting the charger end into the phone carefully worked and i could power on the phone and install a different sbf and solve the problem but now it's different.
The phone won't power up with that method again.
When i connected the phone into the laptop the white led appeared, but without powering it on, RDS lite identified the device.
I installed a froyo 2.2.2 CEE sbf succesfully(it said) but it doesn't power up and now RDS lite doesn't recognise it either.(LED still works though)
What can i do?

Try wiping data and cache in the stock recovery. To get into the stock recovery, power off the phone, hold in the volume- button then also press and hold the power button. After a few seconds you should see a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, and a little green android guy below that. Then press the volume+ and volume- buttons at the same time, and a menu should appear. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu, and the power button to select an option. Select "wipe data/factory reset" and also "wipe cache partition". Then try to reboot the phone.
If the phone still won't boot, go into bootloader before connecting to RSD lite. To go into bootloader, power off your phone, then hold in the volume+ button and the power button at the same time. After about 5 seconds, release the buttons. The bootloader should display – it will show the version and a battery check. (If that doesn’t work, pull the battery, then put it back in while holding the volume+ and power buttons.) Then connect USB cable and use RSD Lite to flash sbf again.
Hi. So i kinda repaired my defy but it still has a problem. It does not want to charge without using MCGyver method. Everything else works fine, except the phone does not detect my battery so instead it shows a question mark. BTW i deleted by mistake the sbf but i know it was chinese. Only that sbf worked. Could you find me a good working sbf?
