[Q] Defy bricked - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I've searched en tried many of the solutions that were giving in the topics on this forum, but none of them worked for me. I hope you could help me.
I got my phone (red lens) to the point where I flashed JORDN_U3_97.21.51 with RSD v4.9 (as mentoined in the All-in-One Defy Guide). The phone worked and I was able to install 2nd Init and tried to flash a new ROM (tried several times with different ROMS like CM7, MIUI, WIUI and some Motorla ROMS). Each time I would end in a bootloop, after which I flashed JORDN_U3_97.21.51 again to get it working again.
Then I found this thread. I flashed it and got an Asian bootanimation followed by the Red Motorola Logo with a animated Blur-sign which I recognise as being android 2.2. However the phone ends up in a bootloop. The only thing I can reach now is the Bootloader. Also after this happened I couldn't flash back to JORDN_U3_97.21.51 anymore.
Could it be that I've got a non-downgradebale ROM installed now? What is the proper way to solve this problem? Or is there something I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for all of your help!!

[Q] motorola defy does not start

Hi ..
I had updated defy to the latest cnmod nighty version. ( 110410 ). Eveerything was working fine. i played with the phone for the entire day. video acceleration was awesome and played gt racing.
Suddenly there was problem with wifi connection. I decided to restart the phone. Choose the reboot menu . and now the phone is stuck with the moto logo on startup. Nothing happens after that.
When the bluelight blinks after the android menu , when I press the down button , I get android bootmenu v1.0.5 (By cynongen defy team and galaxy) ,
i was not able to do anything from here. It has these menus :
1)Boot : boot is set to 2nd init
2)cpu settings
3)recovery : in the recovery menu , If i choose latest recovery or stable recovery , I get error in /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh (Result: no such file or directory) , and when I choose stock recovery , the phone restarts and is stuck with an exclamation mark )
4)tools: I could understand what to do here.
When nothing did work , I pressed both up and down button after changing boot to normal. there i cleared some cache or something , cleared everything that I could.
After all this my phone is in the same place. A moto logo on startup.
Please can someone help me . This is my first android phone and also the first costly phone I bought and I did something nasty on the first day itself.
i am a normal end user who knows nothing more than gui.
thanks in anticipation
hey
flash a stock 2.2.2 with RDS from bootloader
you gonna need latest defy drivers for windows plus a stable froyo i guess
google this "how to unblick a bricked defy"
let us know what you do and what changes
are you sure this is a case of bricked defy. I had read in many places it is very difficult to brick defy.
its not bricked
but that is what you need to search for to get the solution
i did so too
What "Natsikap" said.
Clear Data/Cache.
Flash Official Froyo 2.2.2 using RSDLite, Use your region correct Froyo (If you are from India use SEA15 Stock ROM -Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy). Everything will be Stock normal. Read everything in the wiki before you flash anything, esp read the "How to get back to Normal in case things go awry" part you will save yourself the High BP!
thanks all for your support.
i have installed the orginal manufactuer android froyo
and flashed it later with cynogenmod 7.1 for defy. The latest stable one that was released yesterday
One more question:
Should I unroot this cynogenmod .. so that I don't mess something.
congratulations
you sorta came from behind and am sorta left behind
question: does the 7.1 have any wifi issues? working properly?
tell me so i can make the jump too
thanks bro
sorry for the late reply..
no it does not have any issues.. at least i could'nt find any.
wifi was working like a charm. used it for around 2 hours ..
Couple of questions..
1) i don't lke the menus flying into the screen. How can i change this animation to the normal fade animation that came with original os.
2)should i unroot my cynogenmod should that i don't cripple it while playing with settings or someother way.
Do not unroot CM7. Make site you make a backup in recovery, that way if you mess something up you can just restore it. As for animations, go to settings> cyanogen settings> display, you should be able to change the animations. If not try spare parts app.
Swyped from my MIUI Defy
i have defy plus.....i havnt rooted it ...its working on original 2.3.6
my phone is starting but power button not working.....when i put it on charing lock screen comes to life but touch not working..
sometimes it remains on moto logo
please help

[Q] [SOLVED] No service or battery status after installing latest Cyanogenmod 7

Tried searching the forum but couldn't find anything similar.
I rooted my ideos x5 with super one click, installed clockwork mod (perfect recovery by genekolar) and then installed genekolar's newest cyanogenmod [unofficial]. Tried installing 2 times with different downloads, wiping everything both times but I get no service or battery status. I checked my sim card, battery, booted the phone multiple times and checked my APN settings, the phone just doesn't find anything.
I would like to have gingerbread on my phone without installing the official one.
I also tried the MIUI rom but it stuck to the booting screen blasting that welcome jingle full volume every 3 seconds.
Any solutions?
Thanks!
This has been written for 1000000 times. You must update to official 2.3.5 if you want to use .35 kernel ROMs. If locked bootloader is what scares you then you dont need to worry because blefish already found a way to unlock it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457490). If you still dont want to update to offcial 2.3.5 then you can use .32 kernel ROMs
Oh, my search-fu wasn't good enough this time. Being noob 'n all. Thank you for informing me! I'll change this to solved and leave it here if anyone else is having the same problem
Thank you!!

I'm having the same problem. Anybody has any clue to fix this?
You may have to flash your stock SBF using RSDLite as upgrading to Cyanogenmod ROMS only writes the system partition. Maybe the other partitions have got corrupted.
I'm not sure though.

Custom kernel problems

Hi
I have regular defy with red lens.
I have flashed some time ago new Quarx rom with custom kernel from WIUI JB rom.
After that I am unable to flash any non custom kernel builds. Even when I did a full wipe and flashed Froyo kernel with CM7, I got stucked in boot-loop. I even can't go to Stock recovery.
Now I am running recent Quarx build, but during the boot my led light is red. Also the rom is quite unstable, and crashes quite lot whitch I think is not the problem of the rom, but problem with the phone.
I also tried to use different custom kernel with no success. Also I searched this forum for some answer with the same result.
I have never flashed any SBF to my phone, I have ever used nandroid backup.
(I got my phone with Eclair, but after I got my phone from warranty repair I got Froyo)
I'll probably try to solve this problem by flashing Froyo SBF and try it again.
Thank you for help.
EDIT:
When I tried to flash WIUI JB again, strange thing happen. It flashed normally but ROM did not see internal memory and crashed after RAM got full. Also recovery had listed some errors.
Another custom kernel roms also work, but with the same problem as CM10.
I have also set correct setting for rom in bootmenu (2nd boot or 2nd init).

"Camera error please restart camera"

I am on stock rom and rooted using the Super SU method. The only things I've flashed are the wifi fix, and edited build.prop to unlock tethering. My camera app will not open, and I get this error every single time. Doesn't work in instagram, snapchat, nothing. Anyone know what may be causing this?
Anyone? I would really like to get my camera working again
had the same problem today. restarted the phone and it worked again

I've restarted several times even gone so far as to install a new OS. I'm thinking about undoing the changes just to fix this.
Try booting in Safe mode

Camera still doesn't work
your cam may be disconnected from the motherboard. try claiming warranty
Wiped and installed the AOKP ROM and that fixed it.. Could've been the ROM or could've been the wipe, although I wiped several times before and it didn't fix it.
did you get the error again?
I had the same problem and I installed AOKP rom which fixed it at the beginning but after less 1 day the error back again.
now I'm on stock rom .35 (rooted with Magisk) and no camera error so far after 4 days
As far as i know, it is due to custom kernel, you may have installed that.. try flashing stock rom without any custom kernel..

yes, I had custom kernel first time I got the error.
but then I got it also with custom rom.
now I'm on stock rom and stock kernel....but does it mean that I can never flash custom rom/kernel because of that error?

Custom roms do not have that error... and on stock rom you can use elementalX 2.0 , it is made for the .67.. so the camera issue is resolved.. i think this will help
I had this error on Stoneware .67 (stock based ROM) and resolved it by dirty flashing Stoneware and Magisk v.13 again.
and I had this error also on AOKP rom
I have been having this problem on the Stock ROM, non-rooted, for quite some time now. I have no idea what's causing this error. When I open it sometimes, it just throws an error. If I close it and open it again, it works as it should. It's very annoying.
I had the same thing, flashing roms didnt fix it so i flashed stock via RSD lite and everything was back to normal.
Same issue here, completely stock unrooted. This is not the first Android device I've had that's struggled to connect to the camera consistently... how hard can it be?
Can people getting this error try to disable the image stabilisation in video mode please? One of the errors I see when downloading a bug report refers to the stabilisation code and I've not had the "please restart camera" message since switching it off. Could be coincidence though as it's not like I get it every time the camera loads...
Hello ,
I tried rooting my Moto G5 using Moto G5 toolkit (flashing superSU). t
Then I flashed TWRP and Flashed the WLAN_CUSTOM
Now i get that generic warning screen of unlocked boot loader however My phone is not rooted. and I cant open camera at all , getting error as " Camera Busy - Camera unable to start. If this happens again, please power off your phone and restart."
Can someone help me fix this camera issue? or just help me to revert back as it was previously no root nothing, I guess this TOOLKIT has some bugs in it.
Any help will be appreciated as I am newbie with this android development.
