Can I fix my phone from bootmenu? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to flash twrp from cwm recovery and nothing is working. Every item in bootmenu, gives /system/bootmenu/script/xxx (result: no such file or recovery). No adb : nothing. I wiped in stock recovery to no avail. My question: can I fix the phone from here or do I have start learning about sbfs and such? Thanks

Looks like your cwm is screwed.. best chance is with the sbf only..
You didn't mention about multiboot so I suppose you don't have it..

Can't Flash boot image!!!

As the title says i can't flash any boot images
expect swiftdroids boot .img
Everytime i go onto recovery the swiftdroid boot image
comes up for about 1 sec and then the recovery menu
comes up!!!
I also tried flashing different CWMs but the same!!
My normal boot image does come up if i don't go to
recovery!! (It is the android boot image)
Cause of this i can't flash any type of boot .img
expect the swiftdroid's boot .img
Anyone know how i can get rid of this??

I'm guessing you've already done a wipe & flash lol.
What do you mean by "...i can't flash any boot images...". Won't you be able to do that via fastboot or recovery? On my device with Swiftdroid, when I enter recovery it also comes up with the Swiftdroid logo and then quickly to recovery (when I decide to boot to recovery). Are you trying to say that the Swiftdroid logo comes with other ROMs instead of Swiftdroid itself?

It could be a problem with the recovery image. Do you get the Swiftdroid logo when booting normally?

Maybe the other ROMs take more space than Swiftdroid's boot image. How big are the other's ROMs' boot images compard to Swiftdroid boot images?

Don't know!!

Of the swiftdroids one it might
Solve the problem!!
Edit: ok right now I reflashed
recovery with boot animation disabled!!
And the swiftdroid didn't come up!!
then i tried with boot animation abled
and it still didn't come up!! YAA
But to confirm i am gonna flash a new new rom
to see if it has the same problem!!

By any chance do you have ClockworkMod Recovery on your phone???
Because with this one you can try to access it and over there Wipe Dalvik Cache, do a wipe data/factory reset, and if this doesn't works to wipe cache partition.
After doing this I will look for a restore image over the web, there are tons of them, Install one of them with the ClockworkMod Recovery, and just after the first boot access once again the Recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset. I think this way you will have a phone with nothing on it just a new OS.
If you need a guide for installing ClockworkMod this is the first one I used:

And thanks to effortless. for this awesome guide.
Hope it works...

[Q] Recovery Stock motorola not work

Hi, so i have latest miui V4 2ndboot on my defy. First i have latest CM10 Quarx.
When I change Rom all perfect
but when I try enter to stock recovery my phone stay on moto logo and i pull out battery fot boot phone
For other i can enter to cwm recovery and phone work,
For restore motorola recovery? I flash any zip?
this can cause problems?
Thanks for all
P.S. I have motorola defy MB525 red lense
up
Why you need stock recovery, if you have included 2ndinit in custom roms. 2nd: if you want to restore stock recovery, you'll need to start from scratch...

stock recovery is available through bootmenu (2nd or 3rd option). So reboot in bootmenu.

In that case you need to start from begining: flash sbf. etc. because I dunno if you find a bootloader.img to flash.

if I use 2ndinit.apk and install cwm this restore the stock recovery?
if no i have download sbf rsd lite and ready for all

Stock recovery disappeared, it's happen sometimes when using custom roms. No clue too.
But it's not even a problem, you don't need stock recovery if you're using custom roms. Custom/stable recovery work it all.
You only need Stock recovery once you want to revert back to stock roms.
When you flash stock SBF successfully Stock recovery will work again! (and let you wipe to gracefully boot into rom.)
So, you plan to return to stock? If not, stop this worries until you planned to.

Can't boot into custom recovery

Hey all, trying to flash CM10.2 on my G2 and I'm not able to boot into a custom recovery. Here's how I did everything.
Rooted - all was successful as far as I can tell. Was able to install Titanium backup and backup files and allow root.
I downloaded ROM Manager and installed CWM. When I went to boot into recovery, i get the error with the Android a red triangle exclamation point above him. So I tried to switch to TWRP through Rom manager, no luck. I tried to 'flash' TWRP through the command prompt and download of the recovery file, no luck.
I saw somewhere to download SuperSU, so I did that and tried again, and same issues. When I 'cleaned' SuperSU, uninstalled and reinstalled it but this time chose 'use custom recovery' - it tied to reboot into recovery, saw a standing up right android with a spinning icon, but then went to the same error.
Obviously I'm missing something somewhere. Can't figure out what.
Thanks for any help!
Don't use rom manager. Either use adb and push the recovery or use the app flashify to install the recovery. There are many threads ids the development sections on how to install recoveries

Thanks, Is there a way to undo what I've done from rom manager? Because I used adb to push the recovery and still had the same issue, and using flashify to flash the image doesn't seem to work. Booting into recovery just gets me to stock recovery asking 'do you want to factory wipe your device'
Edit: When I boot to recovery from within flashify, it gives a 'boot certification error' upon booting

Are you using a recovery that has been Loki'd. The G2 needs this to by pass the bootloader. By that error it does not seem you used the correct recovery file.

I used the one from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 - 2.6.3.3 and just flashed it with flashify most recently. But I was having the same issue when I installed it via adb and 'option 1' as shown there.
Yeah, when flashing that recovery image using option 1, I still get "secure booting error - boot certification verify" after I reboot into recovery
Huh, I got it.
Reading this post here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48118278&postcount=567
Someone else was having the same issue as me. The newest recovery gave him that same error. Flashed 2.6.3.2 and it worked fine. (So far)
Glad to hear. Good Luck.

[Q] uninstalling slimkat (cm11)

Hi guys, need some help here. I'm sure this has been asked before but i just couldn't find any
Installed slimkat 20140406-0134 rom (cm11) last night and it's basically working. But I'm still not feeling comfortable using it as there's still bugs around. So thought of going back to cm7.2 for now. But for the life of me couldn't figure out how to get to the tool section so I can re-partition it back to ext3!!!
All I could get in to is twrp recovery and that's it. how do I even get into the bootmenu section where I can choose recovery, cpu settings, tools, etc? There's no red Moto logo with blue LED at boot up anymore
Is there any uninstall instruction somewhere, or perhaps someone should write one?
44 viewers but no reply
any idea if i can install some sort of apps to achieve the same end? like a wipe app to re-partition it to ext3, and then an older recovery to install cm7 rom, or restore my cm7 backup?
don't really want to just try and see what will happens. also trying to avoid flashing sbf and start from scratch.....
edit: will aromawiper work? reboot to twrp recovery 2.6.3.0, aromawipe to ext3 and then flash cm7.2 rom straight after? expert opinion and advice please.
edit 2: oh well, tried it and didn't work. might be because i didn't install an older, compatible recovery before i rebooted. stuck at red moto logo and had to flash sbf and start all over again......
case closed...........

you can flash cm10 to get the boot menu to format to ext3 then flash to cm7.2.
Thats what i did when i tested cm11.
Or use Aroma wiper to format to ext3 and flash CM7.2.

that's exactly what i did but didn't work. aromawiper seems to have worked properly but twrp 2.6.3.0 keep saying "no os installed" after i installed the gb rom and tried to reboot. tried maniac's cm7.2 and an older wiui gingerbread rom. i thought it might be a hickup and rebooted anyway and that was it.
don't know what went wrong there. has anyone actually tried this method before and got it to work?
edit: imho twrp is not worth it. it rebooted 8-10 times on me after installing cm11 and tried to get back into recovery to flash gapps. also other problems like blank backup files and my failures to install rom problem. they should have stuck to cwm until the problems are fixed.
edit 2: and i think removing bootmenu is not a good idea. more steps to take if you want to go back to cm7.2.
