[Q] [q] heelp mee pleaase !!

heei guys .
half a year before I bought the zte blade, and so far it worked well.
but suddenly it stops working ..
whenever I try my cell phone goes immediately to start the red "back" button on (bright red) and then there's the green robot android, then the blue zte intro and then it all over again ..
I have not changed my zte (clockwork, rom)
I know myself well not so good ..
would be really nice if someone could help me ..
I do not know what to do ..!!!
or is it maybe bricked ?!
thanks ..

Its not bricked as it still boots up.
When exactly does the phone crash - when you make a call, start an app, or just automatically reboots?
Did you install a new app just before this started happening?
Is the phone rooted?
Are you sure the battery is ok? Try starting phone with charger plugged in.

ouh ..
yes when i switch the phone on the android boot logo cames then the (blue) zte intro .. and then the zte intro comes again and again ...
noo ..
aahm ? i dont do anything with the pc and the zte ..
so i think i dont root it or something ..
one time there was "ftm" on the screen (after it had this problem).. but i didnt know what this is ..
thank you in front off !!!

but i didnt came anymore to the homescreen , or lock screen

Try booting into recovery and clear the cache? I remember my old G1 did the same thing, and after clearing the system cache it worked.
To boot into recovery i think you keep hold of volume down when turning the device on.
If that doesn't work you could wipe the device, but you'll loose everything on it then.

The issue you have is this, the rom that has been flashed to the phone is for Gen 2, but the phone is still set on Gen 1.
You'll need to boot into recovery and perform a restore, or flash Ginger stir Fry Rom, then the phone will work.

Solutions depend on
-- whether or not u have custom recovery installed ,
-- whether or not fastboot is enabled in your device. (It isn't enabled only in stock gen2 firmware)
-- whether or not u have rooted and made changes to system partition.
Possible solutions
-- If u have custom recovery installed then format (= wipe data/factory reset) the device from the recovery.
Power off the device. Then by holding volume down power on the device. This takes u into custom recovery menu if it is installed. If custom recovery isn't installed this takes you to FTM MODE.
-- If u have fastboot enabled then use this method to format ur device. Power off the device. Then hold volume up and power on the device. Here the device should stay at green android logo forever if fastboot is enabled. This is fastboot mode. Now install zte USB drivers in PC and connect phone in fastboot mode to PC. It will install the software. Now in device manager u shouldn't see any android named devices with yellow unrecognised format. Then use fastboot windows tools from command prompt. The command to format tthe device is
fastboot erase userdata
-- if the above processes didn't work then using tpt is recommended way. U can flash complete low level device firmware using tpt. U can flash either a recovery alone to hard reset. Or u can flash a complete rom. On bit searching at modaco u will get more information regarding everything.

THANK YOU !!
but i dont understand that things .. ?!
can you explain me your answer for people do not understand much of it ?

Download gen1 to gen2 (there is a download link in this section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855
Unzip the file and place the image ( the image is called image, not gen1 to gen2) on the root of your sd card (ideally it is best to do this on a pc)
Also download and place the Rom you wish to use on the root of your SD card (cyanogenMod 7.1.0 stable release works well) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297776
DO NOT UNZIP THE ROM at this stage.
Put the SD card back into the phone.
Power off the phone, hold menu & vol + (up) & power at the same time, you should see some green writing, wait until it is finished (well done your phone is now gen2)
You should now arrive at the clockwork recovery screen, if not power off the phone, then hold vol - (down) and power (together), clockwork will boot.
Now using clockwork recovery, clear data/factory reset, then install your rom from the zip, that is all there is to it, obviously you'll have to enter your login details to use the market and sync your contacts etc, but your phone should now be working.
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup.
Goodluck

[Q] Stuck at BootLoader 09.10 after update app's

Hi, Guys,
I think my issue is totally new in forum. I was updating some app's at Google Market using Wi-Fi connection, when I noticed some problem (probably on Notes App), as I needed to make I call, I decided to turn off the Defy+.
After this I got this screen:
===========================
Bootloader
09.10
Err:1A,23,35,23,00
Batery Ok
Ok to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB
===========================
So, as I was not planning to upgrade or downgrade the 2.3.(9?), it was as disgusting surprise for me.
I tried the Vol Dwn+Pwr key method to access restore mode, but it was not working (the Err:1A,23... persists).
I invented Vol Up+Pwr, that did not bring Err:1A,23..., but also did not reach the recovery options, the picture of a triangle with the exclamation mark, that I've seen in so much YTB videos, here and another sites.
So, what I have to do? I'd like to maintain the stock OS, is it possible to be done without wipe the phone? I've paid for 2 App's and I'm not sure if I can reinstall them without paying again.
Help me... plz

use rsdlite and install your stock rom. download it from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php

You can reinstall the apps without paying again

Press both volume buttons on the screen with the android and exclamation mark. That'll take you to stock recovery where you need to wipe data and factory reset.
If you have to flash the sbf again, try using sbf_flash on Linux. It'll flash in times where RSD won't recognize your phone.
Linux Live\sbf_flash tut
sbf_flash binary is in attachments
Only use Defy 2nd-init for recovery
(and once its installed, steal /system/bootmenu/* and /system/bin/bootmenu from Defy CM9 from June 5th on up -- touch bootmenu is pretty awesome; replacing the bootmenu isn’t for the feint of heart.)

the only problem is i dont have linux i have windows 7

Use rsdlite sri I don't have a link on me

I dual boot between the two
If you have a blank cd and a usb drive\sdcard you can just use a Linux Live environment -- you never install Linux at all -- and you can use sbf_flash from there.
RSD Lite version that works and tutorial
And since it hasn't been mentioned yet, holding volume up + power on boot access the boot recovery to flash sbf's. Just make sure you have at least 50% battery before flashing or you might get an actual brick.
What your dealing with is nothing more than a recovery screw up. I had the same problem last night installing touch recovery -- it wiped /bootmenu/ instead of installing to it. Solution is to flash sbf, reboot, wipe data/factory reset from stock recovery, reboot, eebluroffee at first screen, root, enable non market apps, Defy 2nd init flash something that's better than stock.

ok i install the motorola usb drivers and start up rsd lite but it does not regocogize my phone

yes i have it in bootloader mode

Did you install everything before plugging phone in?

Try uninstalling everything motorola related and reinstalling just the drivers....On a previous Win7 install nothing was recognized, but on a reinstall of the entire system it worked fine and still does. I still recommend the Linux way over RSD because it will flash your phone regardless, provided you can access the loader.
I still haven't gotten native tethering to work with Windows, but then again, I quit trying sometime around December or January.

This is for all those people who are having trouble flashing with RSDlite in Vista & WIndows 7.
If I am right, RSD lite does not seem to recognize the sbf file after you select it and instead the "start" button remains grayed out.
If that's the case, here the solution:
I had a similar problem and sucessfully used the command line parameters for RSDlite to force a flash. I managed to get a signed/unsigned firmware installed.
You need to copy the firmware you want to flash into the RSDlite directory in your program files folder.
Make sure you are in bootloader mode first.
Then, open command prompt and "cd" to the RSDlite directory
eg:
> cd C:\
> cd Program Files
> cd motorola
> cd RSDlite
>
now for the flashing type:
> SDL.exe -f xxxx.sbf -t 2
where xxxx.sbf is the firmware you are flashing to the phone.
flashing will begin shortly afterwards.
It worked for me, but in the end, show FAIL STATUS.

hard bricked my phone
hello. i'm looking for any help to this issue: i believe i hard bricked my bravo somehow. it was running one of the first MIUI rom for two or more years. but became slow and laggy thru last months. and the other day it just freezed while i was browsing the call log. no reaction to the pover button at all, had to take out the battery. now it gives no reaction to any combination of button presses ( power; vol up + power ; vol down + power), the only signal what see is white LED light when į connect the phone to the PC. When phone is connected to the pc freshly, and when i press Vol down + Power, Windows 7 releases "clink" sound and device manager tries to show that "Motorola USB Device" is connected, but quickly disapears with another Windows sound. RDS lite 5,0 doesnt recognize phone too.
Is there any chance to bring this phone alive? any advise will be appreciated.
p.s. english isn't my native. sorry for the mistakes

Not sure if this will help since I did not watch the video myself, but a quick Google search gave me a video describing how to take a Motorola USB cable and modify it to unbrick a phone. I did not watch the video yet so I don't know how relevant it is to your problem. But just by looking at the video preview it looks like the difficulty level may be pretty high... Here is the link:

I tryed to flash custom 2.3.6 fixed sbf.
which didnt end well, after powerup i would go straight to bootloader with err codes.
so tryed to flash another stock SBF, that ended me in inifinte bootloop with android logo. after 20 minutes in bootloop i gave up and flashed another stock SBF this time it was cellcom israel sbf, it finished the flashing succesfully but now the phone wont powerup at all. not bootloader not recovey.
nada...
I really need your help here, any kind of insights will help. please this is urgent.
BTW: this is a red lense defy, last rom was JB 4.1.1 quarx 30.07 build.
the sbf was supposed to have the same rom.
update 1: managed to finally flash stock, cant enable 3g. phone is still rooted, installing superuser is succesfuly but doesnt control attributes. so 2ndinit currently does not work,
issue solved

UPDATE 16/11/2012: links check and updated everything should work.
Solution:
1. first get these files as we'll need all of them: Rsd lite (download and install that),
Motorola drivers (download and install: Here)
JORDN_U3_97.21.51.rar(contains sbf file): http://www.4shared.com/get/xzT3dMXv/JORDN_U3_972151.html
firmware.rar(contains another sbf file): http://www.4shared.com/rar/Ytt5O6--/firmware.html
2ndinit 1.4.2, and 2ndinit 2.3 (can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212).
also need the nandroid backup: http://www.4shared.com/file/pVQfB4bF/2011-06-11141427.html
[Optional]
superuser.zip file installing from recovery: http://downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.2-arm-signed.zip
2. [Optional] I didn't have a router at my house and no signal at my phone and i needed internet for 2ndinit, so i installed a program that turns my wifi on the computer into a hotspot, it can be found here: http://www.connectify.me/
3.First shutdown your phone, hold the Vol down and boot the phone up keeping the volume down pressed. you should come up to a triangle android logo, press the vol up and down key and then tap the screen ( this is a touch screen gui), choose the wipe data/cache and press ok, this should take up to 5 minutes.
4. Now, shut down the phone (pull the battery out and return it back in), Hold the Vol Up button and power up your phone.
you will enter the Bootloader (or BL as its called in the forums) and you should see the phone stating that (usually 9.10 version)
5. after installing Rsd lite, launch it, extract the JORDN_U3_97.21.51.rar and firmware.rar files into root directory (C:\ or D:\ or whatever).
in rsdlite press the
...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
button and choose the JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf file.
connect your phone via a usb cable to your computer, the phone should state its connected. and you should see on the rsdlite window that a device is connected, click on it and press the button :"start".
let it finish and boot on itself (it should do that).
6. [Optional] if you started with low battery now is a good time to charge your phone.
7. transfer the 2ndinit 1.4.2 apk and the 2ndinit 2.3 apk into a folder in your sd card (name it "A" for ease of use).
also extract the 2011-06-11.14.14.27.zip into this folder on your sd card "/clockworkmod/backup/"
8. extract the superoneclick on your computer and launch it, while the phone is connected (should also be in usb debugging mode), press the root button in the superoneclick window and watch the magic, make sure you also install busybox (should be installed automatically when pressing the ROOT button).
9. disconnect your phone, use the file explorer provided with this rom and make sure you check with a "V" to "allow 3rd party apps" in the settings. install the 2ndinit1.4.2.apk file.
open the app after installation and make sure you have internet connectivity, press the install bootmenu option.(now pop-ups should appear regarding permissions, choose "allow" for all of them).
after the green led has turned on, go to settings menu under application/development and turn off the "usb debugging mode".
10. restart your phone and make sure you press the vol down button when the led turns blue during the bootup.
when in bootmenu, choose recovery-> custom recovery.
when in recovery, choose "wipe data/factory reset", "wipe cache", "advanced-> wipe dalvik".
now return to recovery menu and choose "backup/restore"->"restore->2011-06-11.14.14.27".
this should take a couple of minutes.
when its done, go back again to recovery menu, and choose again "wipe cache", "advanced-> wipe dalvik".
power off the phone.
11. hold the vol up button once again and power up the phone to go into bootloader screen.
connect your phone once again to your computer and on the rsdlite window choose the "firmware.sbf" file.
press start and flash it.
12. let the phone boot up, congrats you just revived your phone, root it once again using super one click (if needed), install the 2ndinit2.3.apk.
transfer whatever rom you like (dont try sbf's cause that's how I first got in this mess), reboot phone, go into stock recovery and install that zip after wiping data/factory reset. and ohh well you know the rest.
Good luck.
P.S if you can't or dont know where to find the files take a quick search in the forums and youll find most of them.

when i flash firmware.sbs it takes me back to Android Bootmenu when it reboots please help. thanks

Shouldnt happen, make sure you Wipe Data, and cache, before the nandroid backup and after the nandroid backup.
only then u can flash the firmware.sbf
if the bootmenu still comes up simply choose "Boot-> set default-> normal". and reboot.
if still comes back to bootmenu (and i hope you are talking about bootmenu and not bootloader). install through custom recovery your favorite ROM and don't forget the corresponding Kernel.
good luck!

Is that work with bl7 ???

I've been trying to restore my phone for weeks, up until this thread, I started to think the internet couldn't help me. You are a god amongst men.

OK, banging my head against a wall here; I have 2 defy's. Mine has been to a war zone 4 times, I've replaced the screen (and the waterproof gasket) once, It's broken (the case) but still works except for the fact that the last time I had to flash an sbf I messed up the charging ability with the "macguyver" method.
Now I recently got a pristine looking red lens defy from a friend who said it wasn't booting...It "tried" but never stayed booted long. I tried immediately flashing one of the fixed sbf's with CM10 on it, and ever since I get the bootloader 09.10 code corrupt message.
I've tried the method listed here (by the way the first firmware in OP won't download for me, something about violating some terms of agreement?) the one labeled simply "firmware" downloaded.
Still no joy. Every flash I get all the way through code group 32 checksums match. Everything after that fails. Have tried multiple CEE, Nordic, Chinese, even Defy+ sbf (the new defy has red lens) with no luck.
Likewise when I tried flashing via linux (sbf_flash). The other night after battery out for quite awhile it led me to believe it had started working, and allowed me to get into recovery and wipe everything, but it was all false hope. It still did not boot (motorola M boot loop) and likewise, it still did not flash.
Anyone have any ideas how I can proceed to fix this thing?
I thought I had this thing figured out but obviously I was mistaken.
thanks in advance

I just unbricked my phone again yesterday after trying the latest cm10 sbf with no luck, so i can guarantee this method still works, however the firmware.sbf file is really needed and also the nandroid backup, so here's what i'll do:
1. i'll check what links are broken and reupload the necassery files.
2. I'll clean the the first message and update the links
so check back in about an hour

Thanks a lot for posting this. Tried to restore my phone using lot of other posts since the last 3 to 4 days days, but all in vain.
Was anybody able to install CM10 over this? After the installation, the phone is going into boot loop.

Thanks rtk217 for starting this guide very useful for noobs...
I've made some video tutorials using a few of the guides in the forums here...
hope it helps someone...

I am really not sure if you have read the posts properly. I had no problems in flashing the defy plus sbf. The defy plus sbf that I gave you was a bl6 version and you can never downgrade to froyo.
97.21.51 is a Chinese éclair with bl5. 2nd boot builds were not working on bl5.

[Urgent help] I really need a Dev. Seriously.

Hello guys! This is my first post so please don't hate me.
I have an old Defy which I need to use because my current smartphone is broken. But I have some problems:
My Defy is a MB525 but months ago I've flashed an MB526 (Defy +) SBF and since then my Defy became a Defy+. The problem is: It's stucked on bootloop (M of death) and I CAN'T GET TO STOCK RECOVERY.
I try everything:
- Flashed all Defy MB525 SBFs = white led (of death) and screen off
- Flashed a lot of Defy + SBFs = only one "worked". It's the DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF this rom is the only one who makes my phone boot.. into a bootloop without stock recovery.
I don't have problems to recognize the phone on RSD Lite, my drivers are up to date and my battery is 100% (universal charger for hours). I try to revive this phone almost everyday. I'm using a Defy MB525 (used to be a Claro Brazil rom) with a MB526 rom and BL 7. I remember that one day I was able to flash a chinese rom and the system used to boot, but I couldn't get more than five minutes of use, the system crashed and rebooted. Don't know if this is important but anyway.
I just need to get to the stock recovery. I'm beggin you guys to help me because I really don't know what else to do.
Thanks very much for your understanding I'll be very glad if someone help me out.
Best regards.
PS: I really need your help DEVs, I'm not a noob but this is beyond my comprehension :crying:

Have you tried going to stock recovery after flashing DFP-231? It's not possible that the stock recovery is missing. Switch off the Defy, hold the power and volume down buttons simultaneously till a triangle with a ! mark appears. Then press both volume up and volume down simultaneously to get stock recovery. Then wipe data and cache and try again. If it still doesn't work, it looks like a hardware problem.

0. read beginners guide
1. charge battery (ext. charger)
2. factory reset from stock recovery if possible
2a. if not flash dfp-231.sbf (may end in bootloop)
2b. wipe data in stock recovery (should work now)
3. reboot
now you can root , install recovery

Guys I REALLY cannot go to the stock. Seriously I don't know why. I know how it works and it really seems like missing! I'm doing everything right!! It's a dead end :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Is there any way to flash only the recovery apart from a full SBF? I read about ADB also. If I could make ADB see my device when it's in bootload I could try some commands, right? But I think ADB just works when the phone is alread booted.
Thanks again for your help DEVs!

sorry for double post
Hey guys I figurated something! My defy only boots (into the bootloop) to this four Defy + SBFs. They are all BL 7 I think.
4.5.1-134_DFP-188
4.5.1-134_DFP-231
4.5.1-134_DFP-2311
4.5.1-134_DFP-2312
Any other SBF (MB525 or MB526) get me to the black screen and white led.
Don't know if this helps but anyway.. Still not able to go to the recovery.

Those SBFs are BL7s. Anyways, if you're not able to enter stock recovery then most probably you're doing something wrong. Watch some videos on YouTube on how to enter stock recovery. It is simply impossible for the stock recovery to be "missing". I may be able to help you on hangouts though.

bro,
have you faced any defects in volume controll previously.
It may be due to faulty volume switch, which essentialy need to enter recovery.

Hotdog I really appreciate your concern but I'm doing it right, seriously. I know that when you boot to the recovery a green android with an exclamation point appears, and then you press vol up + vol down BUT I CAN'T GET THERE. THERE IS NO ROBOT. NO LIVE. NO HOPE :crying:
Sorry I'm a sentimental mood I love this phone so much. I'll try to record the defy boot with my lazy webcam later

Hey bro! The vol buttons are working because sunday I flashed a "fixed sbf" based on my DFP-231 SBF and try to go to the stock recovery but instead it lead me to a bootloader failure. It means that the command was sent, but the system was corrupted.
I was thinking about "mixing" a NANDROID with this SBF and flash it via RSD LITE, is it really possible? I was able to mix SBFs before, it changed the M logo but lead me to the same "bootloader error"..

If bootloader is ok.....
Sound's like hardware problem...
Have you error output in RSD during flash process ?

Lame webcam record
Hey guys!! I made that video showing that I have no recovery. I know, there is no quality in this video because its an old (very old) webcam. Anyway the first time I try to go to recovery and the second I enter on the bootloader to show that the buttons are ok

That URL is for some other video?. Anyway, I found the video in question. It looks as if volume down isn't working, so I guess the fault is with the volume button. Most probably the bootloop will be fixed by a data wipe in stock recovery.

Sorry I fixed the video right now. The button is working, I make sure of that. **** it, guess this fancy brick with a M letter is all I got.
Anyway thanks for your support guys. I've discovered something in my unbrick mission: I learned that Linux is a great operating system, better then windows, and will probably be my primary OS from now on.
