[Q] ms2 - bootloop - last chance?

hi there...
just installed CM7 this weekend. worked fine for 2 days
After restarting the ms2, it got stuck in a bootloop.
I can flash a sbf with rsd lite from, finishes OK, but when it says, rebooting, well...
it still stuck in a bootloop.
In recovery mode, i can do a cache wipe and factory reset. But there is a error message at the bottom, telling:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/caller
Could I successfully flash with RSDlite from Linux? which version?
Is there a way to restore the ms2 from dev console?
Thanks a lot

Do you test to Wipe Data with stock moto recovery ?
Here step 7 to 11
I think your request must be on "General" section

I suspected it might be related the CyanogenMod intstall. But move to "general" if necessary
Have done steps 7 - 11
but still ms2 bootloops
OMG - if broke it - my wife kills me

I hope your wife don't kill you LOL
See this thread and particulary this with r2beta0 tips:

I have do this (all step 1 to 11 because "boot up the phone manually" ) with the sbf 2.2.2 officiel but modify whith this post :
r2beta0 said:
I don't know if this is going to help, but you could try that anyway:
- Download MotoAndroidDepacker (utility to unpack/repack SBF's)
- Choose one stock SBF (2.2 FR for example)
- Open and unpack it with the utility
- Rename CG66.smg to CG37.smg (you are going to use preinstall image as data image, both are ext3, but has different sizes. Don't know if it's going to work).
- Use utility to open folder with unpacked images and repack it
- Put phone in bootloader mode and flash the repacked SBF (rebuilt/firmware.sbf)

I did exactly the same, as in the other thread.
And thank god, my ms2 booted up
So everything seems fine for now und no one should get killed
Many Thanks!

Nice for you

Moved to proper forum.

Hi all, Emiliano from Italy. I firstly wanted to thank you all for your support.
Even being my first post here, I've been following you since some time.
My problem looks exactly the same: bootloop... bootloop... bootloop.
No matter how many I tried flashing back the original ROM for my M2 (SBF file always worked before!!! so I'm sure is the correct one for my smartphone).
I tried also the procedure with depacking described above with no progresses.
Anyway I already had noticed that after renaming cg66 to cg37, depacker wasn't able to see it in the list of cgs before repacking, so that final fbs was 300MB less.
Something wrong I made? (tried on 2 pcs with Vista Home and Business)
Unluckily I cannot even try to wipe data because I cannot enter in recovery mode (On + X -> Android robot with mark -> but nothing happens after pressing magnifying lens or any other key).
Could someone, please, help me before using my bricked M2 for building a new house?

Hi Amir4Life,
thanks for reply and for your suggestion.
Unluckily I cannot access recovery mode.
All I get when pressing X is the green robot with Exclamation mark, but no matter which key I press after, it gets stuck at that point (so that I'm bound to take away battery to turn smartphone off) and cannot access or see any menu to operate wipe.
Tried also reflashing other roms through rds lite (bootloader works efficiently) or through ubuntu live cd "sbf_flash system", but the only fsb that always worked for me turns out to be a bootloop when rebooting.
Unluckily nothing seems to help me in this situation, so far.
It's still a bootlpop and no access to recovery mode.
Thanks anyway for your help and happy and special new year to you all!

At the 'exclamation sign + green android guy' screen, you have to press 'vol up + vol down' together.
Now you will get the options like 'wipe data' etc. etc. Scroll through options using vol up or vol down and select using power button.

Thanks Sahilarora,
If I had read you before I would have saved a lot of time trying all possibile combinations of keys on the keboards (since magnifying glasses didn't work)!!
Then just by chance I discovered myself volume up + down while pressing chaotically all buttons and it worked to my best suprise, showing me finally the belated list of options, together with blessed wipe data factory
Since yesterday evening my Milestone 2 is wonderfully working again, as fresh as a daisy!
Thank you so much for your contribution, hoping it could help also Amir4Life and oll pthers in a similar situation.
Happy new year (started in the best way).

Glad for you, I was about to tell to do what sahilarora911 told ya,
I expect i m the only one who stays with brick'd phone... my luck.

Could explain in details which is your problem, and which methods have you already tried to solve it?
If not me, maybe someone else could help you.

Hi Emiliano! It seems to be that we share the same problem. Did you found a fix to it? Thanks!

Start up rsdlite....
plug defy into usb (w/o the battery in ph)...
hold buttons to boot into boot loader (power + volume [up/down] can't remember @ mo)
with the other hand insert your battery - 'if' your ph goes into boot loader mode flash your stock rom, [charge ph] & restore any nandroid that you had made

DRIVERS

do you install the motorola drivers? In order to make rsd able to find your phone you should install them.
do you wipe dalvin cache ? do you see the blue led when start your defy?
have you flashed the right kernnel?

[Q] phone boot loops (even in download mode) .Last ROM USSR v9 Jellynoid

The phone was working fine until recently it started rebooting automatically ever 2-3 hours...I didn't do anything about it and now it boot loops at startup
It's different from other problems as phone boot loops in download or recovery mode so i can't flash a new ROM or a official ROM. Phone is rooted and out of warranty so I'm not sure if i can give to the samsung service centre.
This may sound stupid but i think maybe the power button has been pushed a little deep and hence the phone reboots continously...but not sure of this...any way of removing it and inserting it back..
Or my phone is just bricked
Sorry if repost i tried searching but no results came with our phone

Flash fresh stock ROM via odin. For instructions and your firmware pack go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800
Then root your phone and reflash your ROM, Kernel bla bla bla.

There is no possiblity that a phone will boot loop in download mode..
U sure u in download mode.??
That is power+ vol DOWN + menu button.?
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**

yep i go in download mode and i press the up button (it takes few sconds for it to reboot). After this, screen goes black....
If i dont press any button..same thing happens...
@Uchooseme...i can't flash anything..as i cant remain in download mode...
I removed the battery and sdcard from the phone last night, and kept it that way.
In the morning when i booted the phone it stuck at "galaxy y" screen(no boot loop)[I had to press power button].
so i went in download mode and this time it worked(meaning no black screen)
then i went to recovery mode and did default wipe and cache wipe..rebooted the phone again..
while rebooting it showed something like this
"...log_files_...cant find dbRbooting\..." [...] something was wriiten but i could only glance the screen for few secs so couldn't make out what was written
-After this i thought maybe i should insert sdcard and then boot the phone.So i inserted the sdcard and booted.
-There it was again the boot loop. I didnt even press power button,the phone started as soon as battery was inserted
-The phone started and then restarted.(from galaxy y screen to black screen and back again to galaxy y..goes on like this)
-when it restarts (i.e. from galaxy y screen to black screen) i went to recovery mode but as soon i select wipe cache, it restarted again.
-Then to download mode..as soon as i tried pressing UP button...black screen(don't rember if it restarted atuo or i had to press power button but definitely the "downloading..." screen didnt appear)
I again removed the battery n sdcard (this time for 5 mins around)
-Again the phone stuck at logo screen (this time when i inserted the batery the phone didnt start automatically but i had to press power button)
-Without inserting the sdcard i went to download mode and flashed >>> S5360_DDLF2_ODDLF1_DDLF1_wipe_by_SplitFUS2 (the file i had used earlier while installing ussr i guess)
-This time it went thorugh the logo screen and the "samsung animation" came.....but the it rebooted again..went like this 3-4 times and went off
- now when i start it,it automatically goes to recovery mode and shuts off (doesnt restart)
[Only thing i can see here apart from the recovery options is ----applying Multi CSC----
Copied the default wallpaper file](in blue color and the bottom)

First of all, you must to charge the battery with the universl charger...
After, you must to pass a flash with a chinese ROM (See my topic at GSMFans (For download the files only :good: (Search at google by:[ TUTORIAL ] Recuperando Defy morto com LED branco (and click at the GSMFans link...)))...)...
After this, enter at stock recovery (wait the blues LED and press Vol-...) and do a Factory reset...
Reboot...
Your cell will come back to live

[q] my defy plus is not starting up!!!!!!

Hi,
I have Motorola Defy Plus,I had read that it is possible to update android from gingerbread 2.3.6 to jelly bean 4.2.2. So I decided to update my defy plus.I root my defy plus with sinit_2.3.apk
After rooting I able to go to bootloader where I first backup my phone.Then I wipe data to factory reset and then wipe cache.Then I install the zip file for jelly bean 4.2.2 and google apps from my sd card.
Then after rebooting,Now my phone is updated to jelly bean 4.2.2 . I m very happy.
But after some time I noticed that it is possible to call outgoing calls but its not possible to receive incoming calls.When anyone call me it says the user is busy.
So I decided to restore my defy plus to the original position
But when I reboot my phone and when blue led is blinked then I press vol. down key then enter to bootloader but it is different
When I press restore it is not showing that file which was I had Backup earlier.
Then I press Motorola stock recovery but a triangle type figure is appear and a android logo is appear in the middle of that triangle and my phone is stuck on that logo.
Then I pull my phone battery out and then in battery to the phone and restart.
Re-enter the bootloader, from the bootloader then wipe data to factory reset and wipe cache.
Now connect my phone to pc via usb cable. After that I choose option “mass storage……..dangerous” from that ,
Removable disk is appear in pc when I click ,it says format fist.Then I format it.now able to open it.Now I m copying my backup file that I was created to my sd card but suddenly my phone battery is low and my phone switch off.
After hard work to recharge my battery with external charger,I connect my battery to the phone which is fully charged.But now my phone is not starting up,I have neither see Motorola logo nor any bootloader screen
I already press vol. up + power button but nothing happened.I read that install Motorola device manager driver for usb and RSD Lite & Stock recovery file SBF File.
Then open RSD Lite, Now select that SBF File.Now connect your phone to pc via usb cable now RSD Lite shows phone is connected.I also seen that video on the You Tube.
But for me it is not working.When I connect my phone to pc via usb cable there is no status shown in RSD Lite that phone is connected.
My phone is not starting up now.
When I connect my phone to pc a White led is blinked once for a second then goes off…
What I do.Please Help Me!!!!!

Davinder Singh

Unfortunately your device is permanently bricked because you formatted eMMC from your computer, wiping the boot loader

This is even possible? I didn't know, I thought Defy was unbrickable due to 2ndBoot.

I thought that too ;o.
Did you try to put it into download mode ? (Power button + UP) , in the moto stock recovery if you don't see nothing , press the search button or VOL+ and VOL- at the same time.

Hold vol. up button an press power button....
If you can arrive a black screen
which shows a text with "battery OK
Ready to program"everything is prefect....
If not , you have formatted the internal disk this like you delete bios on an PC...........
Maybe repairable with an factory usb cable & the right software....

What is factory usb cable...
Can you tell me where i buy the Factory USB Cable?????

It doesn't matter which cable you are using (you can buy it from amazon/ebay , it depends from where are you from..) , if you can put the phone in download mode ( POWER BUTTON + VOL UP ) , your phone is saved . If not.. Maybe you can try to a gsm repair shop.

Maybe this can help

If you can't connect to USB in any way you bricked your defy....
Im sorry for you
The only thing, you can do, is to find anyone who can flash data to your emmc without using standard USB connection....
Maybe a mobile repair shop (for Motorola) could do this .
But I'm don't think so
Report back if you have found some...
