She wont boot, what to do now? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I was running cm7.1 and flashing to cm9, when the battery fell out (my stupid mistake) when it was installing cm9.
Now all that comes up on the display when I start her up is the Google/cm logo.
Pressing vol down while starting dosent get me in recovery mode, but pressing vol up does get me in bootloader mode. When I plugged the phone to the PC, it downloaded something, so that works...
The problem is that I dont konw what to do from here, I bet the awnser is out here, but I dont konw what to search for.
Anyone got a minute to help, I bet its a simple fix :]
Thanks

I guess the "simple fix" would be using RSD Lite to flash some stock or fixed sfb from Recovery and start over (root, 2nd init..)

Well, thats awsome, installed new stb driver with rds tool, ran the setup, and after a long wait the phone is back in action.
Thanks alot!!

[Q] HTC Wildfire bricked? need help /will give reward

hello i just wanted to see if i still could get help with my useless device
Ok so yesterday ive rooted the phone and today i tried to install cyanogen mod 7 rom
i used rom utility which i ve downlaoded from android marketplace
now sometimes my phone boots and gets to the logo loop
ive heard that clearing cache and settings would work but i cant access these menus as my hboot is not reacting to my key presses , i tried to reflash the phone but nothing came with success.
I used android sdk and RUU but nothing with success .
maybe anyone would teamview me or give me step by step tutorial how to get this phone alive again would be appreciated
You will be rewarded
You rooted the Phone with a App from the Market?
You need if your HBoot is lower then 1.* the unrEVOked Tool.
If its 1.* there is no way to flash it.
Okay, maybe it worked with yout root app from the market, dunno, but i dont think so.
So you cant access while pressing volume down (keep holding) and switching on the phone the bootmanager? oO thats no good.
The Logo will stay up to "15minutes (<-?)" after flashing a new Rom. In this time its possible, that you Phone restarts automaticly. its normal. Switch it on an wait up to an half hour. If it keep staying in the boot sequence while showing the logo you got a problem .
I think there isnt a more unsave way than a "Flash by teamviewer". You have also pay attention to the phone while flashing. on TV you cant keep an eye on it.
But how can you reflash your phone without getting access to the bootmanager/ HBoot? I think you habe to access the clockwork to flash cm7 *thinking*.
If u nowhow to use adb try n get a adb logcat if possible
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Hi borris and daddyspud thanks for your reply ,i cant move around in hboot ,my hboot version i 0.80.0003
Ive rooted it using unrevoked with clockwork mod on it.
now even when i get it to boot it just loops in cyanogen animation,should i leave it for 15 minutes to do its thing?
also im new to this so i dont know anything about sdk and adb,all i did is saw the tutorials using it ,so i thought i would use it just to give it a go
HBoot 0.8 is rootable, so its okay.
If there is still an animation while you see the CM Logo everything is fine.
If it freeze for some minutes is there a problem. The Animation shows you "i am working / installing".
Yes, let him do his thing for some Minutes.
I think everting should be okay and after some minutes it will work like normal.
It reboots sometimes it self, but this is also okay.
I dont know... does the new CM7 also install a new HBoot? So its possible why you cant move around in it.
Do you wait about 10 seconds before you try to move around in it? Because in the first seconds it looks like it freezed an then it start a test or something. this takes about 10seconds then you can use it.
Its not bricked if its turning on.
Can you get into recovery? If you can try flashing the 4.1 kernel.
If that doesnt help, go into recovery and do a full wipe. Clear cache and dalvik, and under partitions menu format everything except SD card. Then flash CM7, then the 4.1 kernel
Remember first boot will take 10-15 minutes. Be patient. If youve done everything right you shouldnt have any problems
Hi and thanks for cooperation ,i left my phone on cyanogen animation for an hour and nothing is happening just animation loop constantly.
I've just tried hboot and it searches for the PC 49 DIAG and says not found after that it freezes and i cant use any menu navigation buttons . in hbot and fastboot.
I dont even know what to do next
Much help appreciated guys
oO
thats weird.
the PC49DIAG is a part of the rom it self. So i think you have to try to re-flash it. Did you try it with or without a goldcard?
before you flash your phone whipe ALL datas on it!!!
If i start in bootloader mode i get also all the "missing" errors but i can still use the vol up/down buttons to navigate around.
That should help.
I think you did something wrong while flashing.
the root failed?
you got an error while flashing?
goldcard?
Try to flash a RUU from shipped roms. DONT flash a Froyo rom, you will get the HBoot 1.* if you do this.
Recoverymode doesnt work in the hboot?
If you try recoverymode you will get a blackscreen with an triangle.
most say "press the power button" to enter the recovery mode. if this doesnt work press the "volum up button (hold it) then the power button" this should enter recovery mode.
**EDIT**
http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Buzz use a www-rom its without a branding. and use a RUU rom.. and pls dont use a froyo rom. after flashing this your root is gone i think but your phone will be alive again.
dont try the cm7 this time. use a stock rom.
is it alive again?
i talked today to someone who hat exactly the same problem like you.
it was simple to fix the problem... he (you also?) didnt
whipe the phone before he flashed the cm7. thats why it wont stop looping
in the cm7 animation.
after whiping and reflashing everything was fine.
... did you whipe it b4 flashing?

If you turn it on while holding "dolume down" do you get the android+! screen? Some go into recovery if you touch the bottom right corner of the screen, but on some you have to hold volume up + down together. I had this problem today!
If you actually can't get to the screen with the android+! then I don't know what else you could do :-(

can it be hardware problem?
1) Did you use the correct flasher? rsd4.9 with motorola driver installed properly.
2) If (1) not working, you could use motorola own service update from their site.

but no results!
don't worry about it, dude.
maybe you can try the way followed:
1.power off your defy;
2.remove the battery from the phone;
3.plug the usb cable into the phone without battery;
4.open RSD and chose one of the roms your listed, but 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC prefered,
5.take the battery into your phone, now your can see the "connected" on RSD;
6.click the "start" button to flash;
7.wait the phone reboot completely, usually it'll reboot.
if not reboot, remove and on your battery, power on your phone, then press the "volume - and power" botton together, you can enter the robot screen, press volume up and down botton together, usually you can enter the recovery, then chose wipe 3 and 4, totally you can save your defy~~
Be sure to have enough battery while flashing..
Get the phone into bootloader (hold volume down when switch on) and flash an SBF like one from the list you've attached using RSD lite. Surely you have used RSD Lite before?
It seems you have the same issue I have on my Defy as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095444
I’m also unable to get into recovery or get to the Android Robot screen using “Power + Volume Down”. Hopefully we will be able to figure it out and get this issue fixed.

This same friend, I have the same problem, is this a hardware problem? I move the roms but not normal
Vol I login recovery - + Power key
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Try flashing nordic, if fails arabic, if fails, 2.3.3, if fails probably corrupt nand broken hardware.
Before and after every flash always try to access recovery (volume down) and WIPE. reboot and wait crossing fingers, if it fails to boot flash next sbf, try to go recovery + wipe; reboot, cross more fingers; if fails to boot try next sbf and repeat.
The reason for this is that you can flash a lower version but it wont boot, so you have to flash a higher and higher version until you get one that works.
I tried to help someone with this problem before to no avail!
Everyone who is saying just wipe in recovery, or just flash with RSD blah blah blah, need to understand that he CAN NOT access recovery and HE HAS flashed multiple roms using RSD 4.9, read the OP. Im convinced this is physical hardware failure or similar. We all know the drill to recover our precious defy's in the event of semi-brick ie: bootloop or corrupt code. However this is more than a semi-brick. We are talking about successful flashing and still no access to recovery and infinite M logo!
I walked more than one person with this problem through every known procedure to bring these phones back. Even using sbf_flash for linux doesn't work as this is the only way I flash anymore I don't bother with RSD anymore. The thing is it DOES FLASH SUCCESSFULLY just no recovery or boot!

OMG Exactly!!!! i have same problem and nobody seems to be able to tell me what to do, they keep saying same thing about trying various SBF's and Vol down + power method. No matter what SBF file I successfully flash with, i cannot get into boot recovery mode.
I have heard before from desperate users that they were able to revive their phone by flashing a full 2.3.4 sbf. This however comes with downsides of not being able to downgrade to froyo by flashing ANY froyo sbf's. There is a way to downgrade back to froyo but its a dirty method. Even after downgrade you can't just flash a sbf, you will always need to restore nandroid and flash fixed sbf

[Q] Bricked Sprint Intercept. No Debug USB/Recovery

I managed to brick my Sprint Intercept the other day.
I was having problems with the WIFI and Bluetooth so I figured flashing a custom rom may solve the problem. I downloaded and installed BasicROM 1.7 and then rebooted. The phone shows the progress bar and then hangs at the Samsung screen. Holding the button combos for Download/Recovery mode doesnt work. I had also installed CM01 before hand. Even before installing the Custom ROM I wasnt able to enter Download/Recovery on boot. Any ideas of what to do?
Also, I was able to ADB at one point but I accidentally cleared Cache/Data which im guessing turned off Debug mode and now I cant get ADB nor Fastboot to see my phone now.
Did you backup?
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
Unfortunately no
Just install another rom, hopefully its a stable rom then backup
NookColor Cyanogenmod 7.1 "Overclocked"
How do I do that without Recovery Mode/ADB?
I thought u had recovery?
HTC Wildfire S VM "S-Off" "Rooted" Stock Rom
Nope. No recovery. I cant get my phone to boot into it nor Download mode. Even before the brick.
Welll it sounds bricked to me man, sorry bout that, always back up, I learned the hard way
HTC Wildfire S VM "S-Off" "Rooted" Stock Rom
Well thanks for helping me out dude. Have good.
i might be able to help, try pulling the battery for about 20mins, reinstall it then power-up (no cables attached) holding the vol-down power and call button, if nothing, then pm me

[Q] Defy Plus No Recovery

Hi,
I have had my motorola Defy Plus running cyanogen for a year or so. Various versions, 2nd init.
Recently I decided to upgrade to Cyanogen version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515036
Got it installed and running ok but there were some glitches (maybe) so I started from scratch to be sure.
The method I used to completely re-initialise the phone is as follows.
repartitioned SD, wiped and flashed
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz
booted into stock android. installed framaroot - rooted.
installed 2nd init
installed twrp
updated recovery
wipe/reset
install cyanogen
The first time I did this it worked (but with some gapps glitches so to trouble shoot I thought I would start again.
Now this is the problem.
the second time when I tried to flash the stock rom RSD lite hung with "please manually reboot the phone"
After this it is impossible to get into stock recovery from the android triangle screen. When pressing both volume buttons the only thing that happens is the screen brightness toggles between light and dim.
I can get the phone to connect to RSD lite and I can flash ROMS - I have tried a few but I cannot get recovery, Always after flashing RSD says please manually reboot phone. The automatic reboot does nothing but get to the motorola or triangle screen, or a black screen sometimes.
Just to clarify - I have googled and tried many solutions, the main problem is that there is no stock recovery from the triangle screen so no solution that relies on this is working,
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Stock recovery is included in the ... stock ROM (duh) so you need to install completely the stock ROM. But anyway at what serve stock recovery for you?

The one that usually works is DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_US AJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz
Which is the retail UK version for my phone. However when I try to flash it now with RSD it gets to the reboot stage but I am not sure it completes.

I think what would solve my problem would be a way of installing the above rom (which I believe includes the bootloader). I need to solve the problem of the flashing not progressing beyond the reboot stage.
I am using RSD Lite version 6.1.4
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Boot in recovery. Do a total wipe (factory reset). Reboot in bootloader. Flash the .sbf.

There is no functioning recovery, so it is impossible to do a wipe. It is possible to flash a stock ROM (which should restore the recovery) using RSD lite but the process does not get past the reboot stage.
download again the sbf or flash another sbf.

[Q] Stuck at Boot / Nothing working anymore.

EDIT:
UPDATED POST AT THE BOTTOM!
Hey guys,
flashed czechops CM 10.2 a while ago everything was running fine.
On Saturday i decided to let the battery drain completely to do a full recharge. That`s when the Problems started.
After booting the Phone up i was stuck in a Bootloop with the Cyanogenmod Logo turning around and around and around and so on.
Okay i thought let`s reboot and see what happens.
Still the same.
I then booted into recovery by holding the x button on the keyboard and power and then when the androind in the triangle showed up using vol + and vol - to get into recovery.
I then deleted the cache and rebooted again (No full wipe to factory default trying to avoid that).
After that the phone turned on saying Android is getting updated Updating Package x of y.
After its done its now stuck in Apps getting started.
After i found out to get to the Bootmenu i decided to check the Recovery Menu there.
I can choose between Motorola Stock Recovery (the normal one i already was on)
and Team Win Recovery.
So i choose Team Win Recovery and thought okay since its not working im gonna install the Update of czechops 10.2
Installing itself worked fine. But now im stuck in the same loops.
Currently im goind a Backup of the System with the Team Win Recovery in the hope i wont loose the data even if what im trying to avoid a full factory wipe.
What kinda poped in my eyes when i started the recovery was that it said E: Unable to locate '/boot' partition for backup.
Could this be the problem which is stopping the phone from booting correctly?
And if so how can i fix it?
Hope anyone can help me,
Kind Regards,
Invi
I had te same problem before doing a clean install.
I don't know why but, if you install the android 10.0 tezet and from there start the gapps, creating a account and installing your apps, you do not have problems to install the 10.2.
Good luck.

Thanks for the heads up jonas.
Unfortunately its too late its seems. My Milestone is just a stone now it seems.
After trying to install 10.2 12.03.14 and that not working correct after doing a full factory wipe i decided to install cm 11 from czechop.
Unfortunately it seems it failed.
My milestone just boots up and stops at the First Logo. No lights. No chance to get in any recovery mode except the normal one.
Bootloader was working some time but stopped cause the Battery is almost empty.
The Problem is i cant even load the Phone anymore cause as soon as i put it on a charger it boots up and wont get enough battery power to live for a few minutes.
So the only thing left working is the normal Android 3e Recovery. Hope i can do anything from there.
Don't give up.
Your problem it's normal, you fisrt need a global battery charger to recharge your battery.
After it, go to boot recovery, you must turn on the milestone holding " volume down + camera" or "volume up + camera", than you need to uses the RSD Lite to reflash your milestone 2.
Normaly, when do you came from another room, you stay in boot loop, so you need to entery in Miestone recovery, "x + volume down" than after it you do a factory reset. It will boot normaly after that.
To go to boot recovery, you must turn on.
Try harder.
(Guys, lets try to help a little)
Sorry about my poor english
I wont. Already ordered an global battery charger yesterday. In the mail from the store delivery is 7-10 Weekdays.
Good thing i have a second cellphone which i can use in the meantime.
i had a similar scenario

hi, I had a similar situation to that earlier today, in that I got to the situation where on boot up I got the Motorola logo then nothing else (I was trying to install C.M. 11 from 10.2 but when it went to install got a message E;// error - verification signature installation aborted), after major panic thinking I'd bricked my milestone, I tried starting the phone in bootloader mode (press camera, volume up and power buttons at the same time) which gives a black screen saying boot loader 70.13 and towards the bottom says boot menu, connect USB, then on your pc find program MOTOROLA SOFTWARE UPDATER (hope you've got it) open the program, it'll say connect a device plug your phone in and let it do it's stuff, takes about an hour (charge your battery using a desktop battery charger beforehand) and your phone will be returned to the stock Motorola rom but at least your phone isn't a brick and you can always start again trying cyanogenmod.
hope this helps

So i downloaded Motorola Software Updater and RSD Lite + Motorola Device Manager newest Version
Unfortunately my Milestone seems not to be recognized by either Software updater nor RSD Lite.
In the Device Manager S Flash OMAP3630 shows up and is recognized.
Im running Windows 8.1 x64 and on a second Computer Windows 7 x64
What tool can i use ander Linux? Maybe the Phone will be recognized there.
EDIT:
K found it. Doing it with Linux at the Moment. Its working.
Only need to Root it then and after that flash my old Files and hope they are working.
At least i have an old Backup i made from Tezet before going up to 10.2 which i made with Clockworkmod
Hope it will work and not be broken like the one i made with Team Win Recovery.
Anyone knows how i can change stuff in a Team Win Backup?

Im running Windows 8.1 x64 and on a second Computer Windows 7 x64
What tool can i use ander Linux? Maybe the Phone will be recognized there.
EDIT:
K found it. Doing it with Linux at the Moment. Its working.
Only need to Root it then and after that flash my old Files and hope they are working.
At least i have an old Backup i made from Tezet before going up to 10.2 which i made with Clockworkmod
Hope it will work and not be broken like the one i made with Team Win Recovery.
Anyone knows how i can change stuff in a Team Win Backup?

I did find it took a long time for the Motorola software updater (about 20 mins) to detect my milestone 2 (I'm using windows7 x64), I'm thinking the mistake I made when trying to upgrade to CM 11 was I didn't wipe data/cache before trying to install it

Hi mark,
well Windows popped up saying N/A
when it should show new Software.
It also couldnt recognize my Cellphone correctly it seemed.
But i flashed it with Linux anyways.
Flashing to tezet`s 10 worked also like a charm
and i could install my Backup i made in december before
updating to czechops 10.2.
Guess after i know what to do now i will try to update to cm11 now.

let us know how you get on as I'm tempted to try again (I do like how CM10 gets rid of all the un-necessary apps but gives you control of all the system parameters) but want to step up to CM11 without having the same problem as before.
