Hello
I fear my defy is bricked :/
I installed Wakjiui stable (GB) to test it then wanted to go back to stock SBF so flashed it using RSD Lite and now my phone bootloops. Could it be that Wakjiui installed a custom kernel and it was not possible to revert to a Froyo kernel?
Do someone have an idea how I could get my defy to boot again?
Wipe data in stock recovery, power off the phone, and press power + voldown until you see a exclamation sign, then press volup + voldown, and select wipe data, wait until it finish, and reboot
That worked, thanks a lot

Hello.
Just yesterday, I installed CM 7.1 on my Defy, which was on stock froyo. It started up normally, and was working perfectly, until I had to reboot it, in order to get the google apps, when it went into boot loop.
I've tried going into stock recovery and wiping the data/ factory reset and wiping the cache, but even then it's stuck on boot loop on the CM 7 logo. What should I do?
Ps. It's the Indian Defy, which is without Blur, if that makes any difference.
EDIT: Just got it to work, I flashed the stock Froyo SBF using RSD lite. I think my mistake was installing Clockworkmod on it, because it has it's own custom recovery. Can anyone tell me how to get into it?
Ya installing CWM on top of CM7 will screw up the pre-installed Custom recovery. While the phone is just starting to boot watch for a blue LED to flash at the top of the phone. Right when it flashes blue, press volume down. From here use your volume rocker to select recovery, use the power button to make your selection. Next choose custom recovery.
Thanks mate
Though sadly, after rebooting it, it keeps on showing the message - process com.android.phone has stopped working, and I get no network. What do I do?
Wipe data and install the zip again...

Hey everyone.
I had the moto 2.3.6 gb rom installed. wanted to change back to froyo via flashing the full sbf. now it is not getting in. just he android logo flashes and flashes.
tried flashing again, and tried flashing the GB fixed 109 sbf, same thing.
this is a defy red lens. with froyo kernel. just flashed the update.zip here
any help on what i should be doing now?
p.s i have never installed the full gb sbf.
got to know what the problem was, the damn clear data/factory reset and the clear cache. I forgot to do it before flashing froyo full sbf. Went to the stock recovery by shutting down and long pressing the vol down key, then powering on.
cleared data and cache and now finally on froyo. huff!!
Hi.
I have a defy plus .2.3.6 rooted with 2ndinit recovery.
every ROM I've tried to flash makes the phone stuck in bootloader menu, so i had to flash SBF again.
am i do something wrong? I've flashed a lot of roms on defy mb525, and everything worked fine.
thanks and sorry for my terrible english.
Sow now you are stuck in bootloop or you can not flash a custom rom?
I just flash SBF and go back to stock rom.
try wiping data in stock recovery .
(if you access it)
No access to recovery. boot right to the bootloader.

Firstly is your defy rooted? If yes, install 2ndint and go to recovery by switching off your phone and press volume+ and power on button.
The problem you are facing is because you are not clearing cache before flashing a custom rom. Happened to me once so i know! Follow this procedure to the line and you should be fine!

Hmmmmm
What bootloader you have? I think... v7
Teoretically you can use any 2.3.6 ROM
Yup, V7.
The only rom I was able to install it is CM9.
I'd tried this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667536 with the same results.
hi
i have a green lens defy.
i have already little experience on flashing cyanogen mod 7 and mod 9 and mod 10.
previously i have rooted stock, installed 2ndint and flashed cm7 over the stock like this..
bootmenu>recovery>custom recovery> factory reset>install zip>wipe cache>wipe dalvik cache>reboot.
i did not take the "backup all"(what u call it as NANDROID backup, isn't it?) of stock rom....ooops.
i did the same procedure to install cm9 and cm10..but this time i took backup of cm7 during cm9 installation and cm9 during cm10 intallation.
i did this all in custom recovery only.
In the bootmenu there were other options called stock recovery and stable recovery along with custom recovery.
and within custom recovery there was motorola recovery in advanced option.. But non of them brought the stock rom back on my device.
always shows exclamation in triangle and a androbot.
So i have finally tried the RSDlite and flashed my stock sbf.
AND NOW i am again on my way to install cm10 for defy. and this time with no mistakes....Please help me to do this.
0.why are the options stock recovery and motorola recovery not working....?what are they actually..when to enter/click that recoveries??
1.How do i take backup of stock so that i can go back at anytime?
2.is backing up stock rom also done through custom recovery and backup all? if that so then why are stock recovery and stable recovery and motorola recovery options present there?
3.did i install correctly first time?
Thanks for all your answers,

Yes, you are very confused! :silly: You know, when you install a custom rom it totally replaces your stock rom. The stock recovery is not there to recover your stock rom/restore it (where would it restore it from?? I'll have to disappoint you, but your phone is not magic!). The stock recovery can only wipe user data and install updates by Motorola onto an already existing system! You will never be able to restore your system to its original state if you don't have a backup or some idea what retail version you were on. But you'll definitely find a similar sbf over at droid developers or Walter's sbf thread.
When you see the exclamation mark with the cute green guy, you have to press vol+ and vol- together to reveal the stock recovery.
Motorola recovery = stock recovery = the recovery made by Motorola. You can acces it buy pressing vol- while powering up, through bootmenu>recovery>stock/motorola recovery or bootmenu>recovery>custom/stable recovery>advanced>motorola recovery
Hi guy's
i have ME722 (milestone 2 china version blur) i bought it with cyanogenmod 4.3 firmware on it.but it was working so slow and i wanted to turn it back to cyanogenmod 2.3.6 or something like that which works easy,i downloaded 3 different firmware and copied to SD card ,i used power +x and after seeing android logo i pressed Vol+ Vol- together then i got menu,i pressed wipe cache and reset factory,then i go to update from SD card and when i'm trying to load zip files it say's signature error and nothing happens ,i should say i lost my ex cyanogenmod 4.3 firmware and now i just see Red M logo with nothing for loooong time when i press power, help me how to start as a noob and how to install new ROM or solve problem.thanks.
Stock recovery (accessed with holding x or @ during boot, then vol up + down) cannot flash custom ROMs. You have to flash CWM recovery first. But if you're stuck with Motorola logo, I think the only thing you can do is flash stock GB ROM with RSD Lite program under Windows. After that you should get a running fresh GB ROM (you might have to perform full system/cache clean from stock recovery). Then you have to root your phone (with gingerbreak exploit), then install "droid bootstrap" application, which flashes an early version of CWM recovery, then reboot, and while there's a blue led light press vol down to enter custom recovery. With it you should be able to flash CM10.1 ROM, which will update CWM to a version that is able to flash modern 10.2/11 ROMs.
I hope these tips help.
