So the night before yesterday before going to bed i connect my ideos to pc and left it charging and went for sleep.
When i woke up i realized that the phone is dead.
Going into recovery tryed to flash my rom again,the process finished really quick
reboot stacked at ideos screen.Cannot format /data.
So reboot ,bootloader purple screen trying to copy my original image,seems ok.
Reboot,nope clockwork again.Boot loader once again same files not my original.
Shift delete recovery image ok,copy original image ok unmount remove usb reboot.
Clockwork again.
Trying to format image drive from windows "Drive is busy"
Connecting to Linux system at bootloader giving a lot of drives.Unmount Image format ok,copy original image ok.Reboot ... clockwork once more.
So one idea that i have is that i have a partition around 600mb which is ext ,and i wonder if the /data is that partition and maybe needs format it fat32.
Any help and ideas would be appreciated.
Using latest cm7 from geno with stock kernel with no problems.
Greek Ideos.
Cheers
Tryed to flash stock firmwares like Overseas b136 and another two all failed to update at the second part.Also i tryed with Genos repartioning tools failed,to be honest didnt try the one wich needs three flashes to restore stock partitions i ll try it later today.

So a buddy has a Defy. He had CM on it. Was working fine. He than decided to try another rom. Well it wouldn't boot...just bootlooped. Dumba$$ didn't nandroid. So he just just wiped and went to flash an older version of CM he had on SD card.
Phone would boot but said corrupted memory error...he told him to reset. He tried, didn't work. So than he proceeded to RSD the JORDAN files. It now boot loops. Any suggestions? Really would appreciate your help.

Try to flash SBF with RSD. here you can find some http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
before flashing a stock rom go into stock recovery and do a factory reset. NOT from custom recovery!!
if u in bootmenu (if led is blue press volume down) is there a option in tools to formate data and Cache in ext4 and ext3? if yes, formate data in ext3. Had the same error with formate data in ext4 and flash an older ROM. u may need flash latest CM10 to get that bootmenu entries in tools.
Hi all
I use to run cm-7.2 Jordan without any issues. Decided however to upgrade and test cm10 but since I didn't find it stable enough I decided to downgrade back to 7.2. The flash succeed without issues but when I reboot I get stuck with the Google logo and the os never boot up.
I tried to go through cm.7.1 but no luck there, same issue.
Any clue how i can resolve this?

Thanks for quick reply. I tried that and the phone loaded a android character with a triangle and a exclamation mark. I don't have a good feeling about that

That's good sorry forget to say you need to hold VOL dwn& Vol Up at the same time then wipe all...
Good luck
Exactly the same problem here, cannot downgrade to CM7.
Any good news?
Flash official froyo (I used ver 2.2.2)sbf via rsdlite. Root it using superoneclick and install 2init bootmenu 2.0. In custom recovery do full factory wipe follow with restore your nandroid 7.2 if you have them. If it booting hang at start screen, flash any froyo fixed sbf that contain the froyo kernel(optional). This way all your previous user data will still be intact.

So the recovery won't work and will have to start with SBF. Will wait until I have the computer environment to do so.
Thanks!

Okey I have now flashed 2.2.2 sbf with RSDlite and after flash the phone still hangs during boot, now with the ugly Motoroly M instead of the Google logo from CM. So I guess I am back to square one, any idean anyone

Wipe all from stock recovery that's you needed to do btw before installing cm7.... Sbf is not needed.
Go to stock recovery and wipe all your ROM should boot...
Let's Go ^_^

Factory reset from stock bootmenu again. If it still hangs, flash sbf again with another factory reset afterwards just to be safe. BTW, I've had times where 3+ sbf flashes with factory resets were needed to get the phone to boot again.
One problem you might be having is if you formatted /data and /cache to ext4. Maybe it was just me, but I had to reinstall CM10, change back to ext3, flash sbf, then install CM7. Changing to ext3 and flashing CM7 didn't work -- same problem you're having. I wasn't sure if ext4 was the problem so I made sure I changed back to ext3 before sbf flashing. I'm not sure if the sbf reformats the partitions or just wipes them like a factory reset. If you've already flashed the sbf, then you can't install a CM10 rom to change back to ext3... Worse come to worse, you maybe able to install one of the custom sbf's with CM10 custom kernel preinstalled, change to ext3, flash official sbf, factory reset, then install CM7. I haven't looked into them because I make my own custom sbf's .
Bravo users are having this exact problem and my solution is to ensure that /data and /cache are ext3, flash the sbf and start from scratch -- the only guaranteed way I know of to fix this problem. Another Bravo user had the same problem and managed to fix it by changing some /data permissions over adb -- the user didn't specify the exact things done so I'm waiting on a reply with more details.

Okey good advice.
Here is where I am at now. I have flashed a number of different SFBs and I end up with the same situation every time. RSDLIte finish the process nicely but the phone get stuck with the flashing M. When I reboot manually I get passed the M and to the Android text/logo and there I get stuck.
I get advice to do a factory reset but how do I do that. The CW bootloader is gone and I can't get to the original boot loader either. I hit volume down and power, get to the triangle screen where I am supposed to hit the right bottom corner but nothing happens.
So I cant boot the phone to get into a menu where I can change to ext3 if this is a problem.
Please help, how can I get further?
Since I have no luck restoring stock rom I now have the following plan.
Install ClockWorkMod recovery with ADB.
Using recovery to do a factory reset and clear cache.
Flash a CM10 ROM (or any rom that will successfully boot up my phone).
From that start over to downgrade to CM9 to find a stable ROM.
The question I have now is if I will be able to use ADB with the USB connection mode I get from the bootloader (volume up+pwr button)? Or does ADB actually require that I can boot my phone and go into some other USB mode such as UMS or MTP.
Second question. Playing with restoring stock ROM i run out of battery and now my defy wont charge (only see a big question mark when loading). Seems like I get no power when USB is connected so is there a way for me to charge the battery or do I need to find another happy camper in town with a working defy that can power up my battery?

In froyo, you should hit vol up/down together to enter stock recovery.
If you have your cm7 nandroid or your gingerbread nandroid 2.3.6. In,custom recovery cm10, restore them. Your phone would not boot but you have your cm7 or gingerbread cwm by then, that you could format cache and total wipe back to ext.3 in the recovery menu, format/wipe follow with another nandroid restore and flash fix sbf from rsdlite.
But then the best way is go back totally clean by flashing stock froyo and root, install 2init with bootmenu 2.0. Then total wipe in recovery follow with restore your cm7 or gingerbread nandroids and flash the corresponding fix sbf via rsdlite.
Charging dead rom defy would need the MacGyver trick then. But some say if you leave it connected overnight in pc usb would charged it somehow but slow..
On 2nd thought.. you need to tell us yoyr defy model...green lense, red lense or the defy plus?? These models has their own characteristics in term of play around in cwm and way of flashing..

Thanks for very informative reply. I have a Defy 525 with red lens.
It's working.
I found a friend blessed with a defy and used that to charge the battery, tried to charge it over night with USB but it didn't work.
I then followed the steps from the last post and managed to flash a stock rom and then from there I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick, installed 2ndInit with ADB (guess you could use an apk installer from the phone as well ). I booted into recovery and flashed 7.2.0 Jordan from CM and now I am where I started a few weeks back.
Thank you all for your help.
That was the low battery problem.......
Since i had this i allways look for a full battery
If you think your defy is dead , a look for a empty battery won't be mad
Could anybody took a reminder info into beginners guide
MB525 red lense
okay so i have rooted my p700, installed CWM, and flashed cm10... after that i rebooted my phone (i needed to in order to get link2sd to recognize my external sd), after that the CM went into a bootloop!! which got me very angry (considering it came at a very bad time)... so i reflashed it a number of times even tried older builds...still all i get is a hot processor and a bootloop....i have gone through so many forums, scavenged the whole internet for methods on fixing it but still no luck...anybody have anyway of fixing this? and one more thing after i formated my sd (trying to make partitions for link2sd i lost my backup )
try download latest CM10 and reflash it . Make sure follow the steps correctly
How to Install::
Download the ROM
Put it on your phone root
Reboot In Recovery(MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!)
Wipe Data/Cache,Wipe Cache,Wipe Dalvik Cache(Which you can find in Advanced)

Hi everybody! I'm new of this forum and I'm having some problem with my note 4. Im having continuos freeze, lag and reboot. Sometimes I need to take off battery for 19 seconds for make my power on burton works. Cuttently i have nameless rom v6 with latest nameless kernel but im had this problem also in other rom like kyubi sdx and the other note 5 Port spanish rom (i dont remember the name). All the time ive installed those rom ive wiped system data cache and dalvin cache and ive installed bootlader and modem. I really dont know how to fix this.
Just now after writing this post my phone suddenly shutted down :" kernel panic, download mode ". After ive taken off battery my phone turned on normally.
Thanks for reading and thanks for trying to help me,

Do a fresh install if u havent already , install original stock rom wiping cash partitions, I usually format all partitions even internal memory, this is not a nand erase just formatting all partitions via recovery then flashing via odin . Infact the latest cwm recovery or phills recovery have an option to reset and format phone ready for new rom installs.
Thanks
