i was following a video tutorial on youtube trying to upgrade my defy 2.2 to 2.3.7, while following the process i made a mistake and from that moment my mobile is continually restarting .......... plz any one help me with this problem !
Try to go to the Recovery again (Volume Button) and flash the ROM again after deleted all data and cache and dalvik cache. Afterwards delete the dalvik cache again.
If you're stuck on the red Motorola Logo you have to flash a sbf with your computer.

Guys, I desperately need help. I followed this guide to install CM7.1 nightly into my Defy and at the end I got the CM7 logo loop. Based on the guide, I took out the battery and put it back and now it's stuck at the small "Google" logo. I took out the battery again and went to the system recovery to wipe cache/factory reset. I got bunch of "mount" cache errors (command, log). I then went to the custom recovery and did the wipe cache again, this time beside "mount" cache error, there were some "open" cache errors. I did the wipe one more time and all of these errors gone. Booted it up again, and it still stuck at the "Google" screen so I went into the custom recovery trying to wipe dalvik cache as the guide said. I selected that option but nothing happened. No question asked to confirm the wipe and all it did was a short blink screen and the screen stayed the same.
Any helps would be highly appreciated !!!
That sounds a bit tricky to me, but first things first.
The first boot after installing CM7 can take a while (some minutes) since all the dalvik cache and other things has to be built. Taking out the battery during that is somewhat risky I think. After the first boot, the system starts pretty fast.
The best guess for you (at least that is what I would try) is:
go to recovery, clear dalvik cache and cache. If you have not installed CM7 before, i would also recommend to clear data as well (ok you lose you data but I hope that you were not doing it without a backup).
Then I would reflash cm7 and try again.
since you had the cm7 boot scree, I believe you have no kernel problem...
by the way, do you know what version your initial rom was?
I think it`s better to flash it from scratch:
1) Flash your previous rom with RSD
2) Root + cwm recovery
3) Cyan
(and if I were you - I would do wipe from stock recovery after 1st step and wipe from custom recovery after 3 step)
Yes, as Iddqd2 suggested just flash stock froyo using RSD Lite and then go all over for CM7 method of installation.
CAN ANYBODY HELP ME PLEASE? PHONE STUCK AT RED M LOGO.
While being on Maniac's 25/04 build I decided to run V6 Supercharger. After I tried to run it got a message that it didn't have superuser rights although I pressed alow. The system got slow and I decided to reboot. It got hanging at the red M logo for a few min. Tried with Vol+- and power and after the blue and green lights it keep hanging on the red M logo. I decided to reflash the nightly but when I pres power button at the blue light I don't get to the CWM menu. Tried it 3 times without any effect. Funny thing is that I can still charge the phone. Does anyone have a idea what to do and spare me starting everything from the beginning? Any help is deeply appreciated!!!
can you boot into the recovery menu and wipe the caches and things??
hold volume down then the power button and this should get you into the stock recovery but you can still do a factory reset in there by doing a data wipe then clear cache and dalvik cache.
Not sure this will work and it will wipe all your data and apps but it may recover the system and make it boot.
Edit: maybe just try to wipe the cache first before doing factory reset, This will keep all your apps and data.

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately wiping cache on stock recovery didn't help, and if I do a factory reset I'll wipe out everything including 2nd init and cwm. It looks like I have to start with RSD and Froyo again.
yeah it sucks loosing all the apps and setting everything back up again but sometimes it has to be done.
I done it alot before I fully knew what I was doing. Flashing roms and RSD with the wrong kernels and all was frustrating to say the least

You get to CWM with VOL DOWN! And you should make a wipe cache /dalwik from CWM, not stock recovery as you did... You can try make a wipe cache, wipe dalwik cache from CWM, but maybe CWM got corrupted because of wipe cache you did from stock recovery...
If so, you you should make a factory reset from stock recovery, and start again with superoneclick, 2ndinit, CWM... Etc
If you flash custom roms you can forget stock recovery, everything is done from CWM! I've not seen my stock recovery for half year, flashing custom roms from CWM...
Good luck!

Hi guys,
I was running on CM10 11.18. However, wanted to switch back to CM7.2. Phone is now unable to boot up.
This is what I did.
1. Wiped Cache and data in stock recovery.
2. Wiped Cache, dalvik, data in custom recovery.
3. Installed CM7.2 and gapps
When I tried booting it up, the phone was on bootloops.
Then I picked my SEA sbf and flashed it using RDS Lite. However, problem persists. . Can anybody guide me through. I am without a phone now. Help!
You'll have to convert data to ext3.
Install cm10, in boot menu select tools then filesystem tools then convert to ext3

Have you tried to wipe data in stock recovery again? (volume down + power on)
If bootloops persist try to flash your sbf again, after flashing go to stock recovery immediately and wipe data again.
edit: fixed it. went into custom recovery with pressing volume down when the blue light turns on and reflashed everything
