[Q] No options in stock recovery - MB525 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

noob warning!
Problem: I am not able to see any text options in stock recovery mode. Just a yellow exclamation (!) with a green robot in the centre on a black screen. I feel something is wrong here. I am on stock rom (froyo)
Things I have done in the past (in order performed):
1. Rooted using SuperOneClick
2. Overclocked using SetVsel
What I am trying to do:
I am new to android and want to install CM7.2 stable release on my defy.
I wanted to take a backup before proceeding and thats when I discovered the stock recovery problem. I installed 2ndinit( and CWM Recovery 5 with it) and able to boot into custom recovery. Took Nandroid backup.
The big Question
Should I proceed with CM7.2 install or am I about to brick my phone?
How can I fix my stock recovery or will it get fixed after CM7.2 is flashed?

You pressed both the volume keys after the phone turns up??

neo.ank is right, you need to press both Volume keys at the same time for the options to appear.
But, bear in mind that you shouldn't install ROMs in stock recovery, but in the custom one!

I've been here about 6 months but what's wrong with the stock recovery. Just asking I always installed cwm first after an sbf flash. But last time I attempted to flash cm9 in stock recovery for the hell of it and it worked.

Stock recovery checks signatures, and doesn't allow installing anything non-Motorola. If you're lucky and somehow have Android recovery 2e (the one that doesn't check the signatures) - it means you're probably capable of flashing kernels and anything. Otherwise you shouldn't be able to flash anything.

Hey, this is interesting! What sbf did you flash NI55AN?
sent from my Defy+

The 2.3.4 shadow one I think I have it in my drop box. I have a green lenses so it was kind of a stupid flash
Edit: lost the sbf think I might have deleted it

When I tried to flash cm7 through it it stopped but it worked for cm9 fuzz build

Is there an unsigned kernel just to test. But won't the boot loader still check for a signature?

Thankyou all but my question still remains unanswered
I tried multiple ways of going into stock recovery.
1. Used tools like rom toolbox, rom manager, etc to reboot into recovery
2. Reboot to recovery via adb
3. Used the just the power + vol down to see a menu which gives me 2 options stock or custom recovery.
All methods lead me to the same problem. black screen + yellow ! + green robot
No menu options. The only way to reboot the phone is to remove battery and insert it again. Is it because I missed any step before rooting or installing CWM recovery?
Note: I never tried booting to recovery prior to rooting or installing CWM so I am not aware of what exactly I should expect ...

When you are on the green Droid screen press volume up and down together.
Then you navigate by using the volume keys and select by pressing power button

To install cwm in a stock rom you use defy 2nd init. Follow the instructions in the thread for 2nd init in themes and apps section.

how did you install CWM.? you used 2ndInit? Details on what you've already done will certainly help.
Addition: Found this really helpful image in a thread. Thanks to @RATTAR . This details the key press and working of stock recovery.

Hi.
Saw your post and couldn't help but notice that it is indeed in the wrong section.
My question to you is 1. What were you doing before previously encountering this problem?
and 2. What version of Clockworks Recovery were you trying to place on the phone?

Its an old recovery which will not work with gingerbread roms. Download the correct one from here.
Rename to recovery.img and place in your platform-tools folder.
Put you phone in to bootloader and select fastboot.
Connect phone to PC, open a cmd prompt and navigate to your platform tools folder.
In cmd line type
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Once recovery.img has finished flashing select recovery using the volume down and power button on the phone

Thanx for assisting. Seems like you beat me to it. I figured that the recovery img mist have been some old version cuz I had similar problems and then realized some fine lines in reading the roms post.
EDIT: Sounds like he may still have S-ON or the SD Card may have one of the PCENG10.zip or so files (cant remember the proper filename but I hope you get what i mean >,< )

[MB526] Won't boot !

Hi,
I bought a Defy+ (2.3.6), then I flashed CM9 (4.0.4), and after that I flashed Codename Android (4.0.3).
I wanted to put back Original version in my Defy+ (2.3.6), but RDSlite said "flashing process error...", then a friend who helped me a lot using my Defy+ told me to try to flash Defy ROM on my Defy+, I did it, RDSlite worked, RDSlite said "finished", and now my phone won't boot.
I can't access to the BootLoader, and the Recovery, they don't work.
Please I need you help me please

3.You will enter into Motorola stock recovery.(A caution symbol will appear). now press both volume keys together.
4.Give factory rest and wipe cache.
5.Reboot your phone. This time it should work, else one again flash the sbf using RSD Lite.

Ohh man.. your phone is screwed big time... You shouldn't have flashed the defy ROM... Hope the service center fixes it..
take the battery out and put it back in. hold down volume up and power the phone on.
Hook it up to RSD lite and flash a 2.3.6 rom from herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
depending what one you had before try to flash the same DFP version. I made the mistake of flashing 2311 and cant donwngrade so I can only flash them SBF files now
Even though your screen wont show the bootloader RSD lite should see your phone. Your phone wont charge in this state so be careful with thte battery.
You may already of flattened it if RSD lite wont show its connected, Try to charge it externally or do the macqyver method and try again.

Have you send your defy to service center?
Sent from my MB526 using XDA
try my method you will not have to send it back!
Might take you a few tries (was more like 10 for me) but the right SBF will work for you. Its impossible to brick the defy+ I done it 3 times but the first was the hardest. From then I have known my version and I cant downgrade so only that one will work. So If a ROM fails I flash that version it works all the time every time. Its a matter of finding it!

(?) Help rooting my Galaxy Y

I downloaded the update.zip for my phone using a barcode scanner thing on this website. (This was about 15 minutes ago)
Specifically here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1378660
The update.zip folder was in the download folder but then I moved it to the root of my SD card as instructed. The problem is that when I tried to go to recovery mode to 'root' the phone another thing came out. It was like a warning, something like this:
Warning (!)
Using a custom OS....blah blah blah
press Volume-up to install custom OS
press Volume-down to cancel
So I canceled it and tried to go to recovery again. This warning came out again so I pressed yes because I thought it was part of the rooting process.
Now I'm stuck on this ODIN MODE and don't know what to do.
The screen I'm on say's this:
ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME : GT-S5360
CUSTOM BIN DOWN : NO(0 counts)

[Q] Recovery is not seandroid enforcing

Hi guys!
Today I've tried to flash CWM or TWRP to my Galaxy S4 GT-I9505.
Everything went fine, phone rebooted. After that I've tried to enter the recovery mode and i get a red message on the top left corner:
"Recovery is not seandroid enforcing"
Already made some research on the intenet, and does this mean I have a firmware with Enforcing SELinux, and my bootloader is secured?
In the options there is some information that it tells there is an SELinux & Secure Bootloader. Check the image below.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any way to handle this? Might I should flash another firmware? But which one? I think this is an international model, factory unlocked and I live in Hungary.
Thank you very much for any help!
Recovery is not seandroid enforcing
When u press the 3 buttons (Volume up + home + power) together, the phone will try to load into recovery.
Keep pressing the buttons until the three lines comes out at the top left corner.
When the three lines come out keep pressing the volume up button ONLY and it should load into recovery
recovery is not seandroid enforcing

If you installed cwm you will be able to do those things. That message will always be there if you have installed a custom recovery or kernel. Also I'm pretty sure you don't have to hold home to get to recovery. Just hold up while turning your phone on, when it turns on you can release power just continue holding up until recovery boots up.

You do not need to press the home button to enter recovery mode or download mode on an i9505. Just power and volume up or down is enough.
Save your home button

I too am getting this message when booting both into recovery and the main system.
Its not preventing me from doing anything as normal though.
It happened when I installed the weekly unstable build 5 of SlimKat.
And it still exists now with the stable build 6.........
what does it actually mean?

if you get your timing right , you can get into recovery or download by pressing power button until it vibrates on, then hold up volume or down depending on where u want to go , for only a second or so ... the more accurate u get the timing the less long u have to hold ... this eliminates the chance of holding the power button down too long & forcing a reboot, or leting go wrong time becuase you dont want it to reboot hehe, and when u do it 100 times in a day, the less stress on ur hands is fantastic

Trouble with entering recovery
Thanks for the thread! Was able to boot into recovery now
thanks very much. had the same problem.
but even so, I ended up booting into stock recovey. but i flashed TWRP before hand in ODIN. I need TWRP to root/flash custom ROM, please help!
Quick question guys, I have a sgh m919 (tmoS4) and I have the latest TWRP installed. My issue is that the phone hangs at the Samsung Galaxy s4 screen before booting. The actual booting with the animation is quickly but before that it hangs for maybe a good 30-35 seconds. Can I get some help?

uncheck auto-reboot in Odin before flashing.
Help me quick
Hello, I have got the same issue but on a Samsung j510fn. I have used the corect TWRP but I cannot enter the Recovery by using neither the combination volume up + home + power or volume up + power
How can I enter the Recovery and later on to boot my mobile device. Yes, the phone is rooted but I cannot enter the lock screen and do the other crap that there is.
Thanks for the help.
Your sincerely, Pikachu
Hey, I've got the same problem and I have a SAMSUNG Galalxy S6 with Android 7.0, it's rooted. I tried to install TWRP but : "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and my home button is broken ! I need help please !
@darksio01: Thank you for searching before posting. Too many people don't do that. As to "Recovery is not SEAndroid Enforcing", seeing that message is normal. The bootloader is merely telling you that the recovery is in permissive mode, which it has to be in order to flash custom ROMs, and will remain there as long as you have the custom recovery on your device.
If wanting to restore the stock recovery, you should be able to restore the stock recovery using Odin, as I don't believe you need the home button for the key combination. I know my Galaxy S4 the home button isn't required to get into download mode. I would look into getting that home button fixed first, if you can.
Thank you.
Thank you, everybody told me to change : first, my home button and 2 reinstall. You, you gave me the reason for this message "recovery is not seandoid enforcing", i will try to reinstall the TWRP because I think I have installed an incompatible version, Finally, it's impossible to go in Recovery/Download mode without The home key on a Galaxy S6 .
Thank you for your help, good bye !
PS : sorry for the english mistakes, I'm french
