Hey guys, i really need help here

I'm currently using the wildfire. I rooted it and installed rom manager.
I did backup my rom (CWRv3.2.0) and installed the wildpuzzle rom (Newest one).
But i think forgot to wipe off the data. After installing the rom, it booted fine but it says that my phone memory was low.
I waited for a very long time but it does not respond. Hence, i thought something was wrong and tried to go to cwr and did a factory reset.
But now it gives me a black screen after the htc logo.
And after 10 to20 minutes and it still does not respond. I went back and did a restore(before the wildpuzzle rom I've installed)and it came out that my phone cannot boot and stucked in a loop. (after 2 turns it went back to cwr)
I'm scared that i might bricked my phone.
Help please! Much appreciated!

When you do a Factory Reset in Clockworkmod, you need to flash a ROM again. Also, if you read the thread completely, WildPuzzle 2.3.2 does NOT work. It was released untested by danne (as he stated), and, various tests by users show it didnt boot.
EDIT: And if you are talking about Android 2.2 Sense ROM's, you will need to flash it using Clockworkmod 2.x. They are not supported on 3.x

So do i have to flash a new rom like CyanogenMod ? Sorry, I'm a complete noob at these. Edit: Its the Wildpuzzle 2.2 froyo v0.8 rom.

Yeah flash the CyanogenMod 7 ROM. But before you install this ROM please make sure to Wipe the data, Clear cache partition and also to clear dalvik cache and then proceed to install the CM7 ROM

Yes! Thanks a lot! Flashed Cm7 Nightly Builds 2.3.4. Running perfectly
EDIT: Wifi does not connect lol, stucked on locating ip address.

Unable to install ROMs!

Here's the backstory:
My DX has been rooted for about 6 months. I've used CM7, MIUI, and RevNumbers ROMs and have had little trouble with anything before yesterday. I know how to SBF, use Droid2Recovery, wipe data, and all that good stuff that gets our rooted phones to the sexiness they are.
Well the other day MIUI was acting a bit funky and would so I decided to SBF and start from scratch. Well after SBFing, rerooting, running D2Recovery, and wiping data/dalvik I installed ROM Manager and proceeded to download the latest CM7 nightly.
This is where the problems began...
After downloading the ROM and selecting Wipe Data/Dalvik Cache it rebooted into CWM Recovery. But it informed me an error occured and the installation was aborted. After trying several more times with MIUI and RevNumbers ROMs I decided to reSBF and try again. Same thing, kept getting the error while in CWM Recovery (It didn't tell me the error by the way, just tells me there was an error). So then I tried a slightly older GB Kernel and SBF'd to that. I still got the same error when it tries to install the ROM. I also tried downloading and manually installing the ROMs with the same failure.
So there we are, SBF'd phone, rooted, not installing ROMs.
Thoughts?

Rom manager maybe?

I would say that ROM MANGER is causing the issue. Perhaps try this process by entering recovery manually, and not installing ROM MANAGER at all.
let me know how it goes

How do I install a zip if I'm in regular recovery?

I take back my last reply. D2Recovery got me into CWM. BUT...
No dice. Still getting errors. I think my SD card is bad. Going to steal my wife's and test it out. Will update this after I give it a shot.

[Q] A500 Kills battery in a day of no use after flashing ICS BL v8

Hi guys, hoping someone could help me out here.
I was running my tablet on ICS before with the HC bootloader (I believe it was Tablooney) and of course I was stupid and didn't make a backup.
long story short I flashed the bootloader and started experiencing random issues where the tablet would not wake up, thought ok maybe I missed a wipe of cache, battery stats, or dalvik-cache, or something. did the wipes that wouldn't kill my rom and still had the same problem.
did a full wipe and used a JB rom, still same issue
had some weird issue, restored to HC BL and rom, tried to do OTA to ICS (used EUU to go back) Tablet would not see the OTA ICS update.
so tried a third rom, still same problem. does anyone have any suggestions or insight as to why this is happening?
Thanks!

Maybe I have an answer.
1. After returning to stock, you should have installed Acer Update Enhancer from the Play Store. Without it, you won't get OTA.
2. Early release of the ICS had some SOD issues kernel related. The current ICS roms shouldn't have this anymore. However they require the V8 unlocked bootloader. Also, they use modified kernels.
Make sure you have V8 installed, An appropriate CWM recovery like Thor 1.7.2 or .3. Do your wipes, then install one of Civato's Roms. His are current builds. And, Do ALL your wipes in CWM as per the OP instructions.

That Update enhancer did the trick to take me to ICS. Then I used afterota to get rooted (which also flashed my boot loader) and now I have ICS, root, and the v8 BL!
Thanks MD!

[Q] Please help me with my defy plus

Hello there! I really hope you can help me with this, because I don`t have any other ideas or even the courage to try new ones. I recently bought a defy plus and after tens of pages read on the Internet about kernels, SBFs, ROMs and other android stuff I decided to start modding it. It came with a stock 2.3.6 Android, which I swapped for a ParanoidAndroid 2.14 (with Android 4.1.1), which I liked a lot, but I was quite laggy.
Then I decided to look for other ROMs and I wanted to install CM7. But here is my problem: I can`t. I tried to flash this file (cm-7.2.0-jordan), but it didn`t work. Then I had to flash a SBF to get my phone back. I think it was the wrong SBF (filename: JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTTR_P013_A013_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf) because it bricked ( hard brick, I couldn`t even start it), but luckly I had it fixed cause I still have my guarantee (which is a mistery for me, how did they do it? didnt they see it was rooted and this broke the terms of the guarantee?).
Anyway, they re-softed it and now I have a working phone. I rooted it, installed 2nd init and tried again. Now with a nightly version of CM7: cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-jordan. It still goes into a bootloop. I went through all the steps, root phone, install 2nd init, Wipe data/factory and Wipe cache and install from sd card.
My first and most important question is: do I have to be on stock android (meaning I have to flash the stock 2.3.6) every time I want to flash a custom ROM? Or can I be on, let`s say ParanoidAndroid, and change directly to CM10?
And my second question: How can I install CM7 for defy plus?
Thank you for your future responses.

Ok, I figured out the CM7 part, I think I was trying to flash a wrong nightly file. I got another one and I finally have CM7 on my phone. But, please, can someone give me an answer to my first question: For every custom ROM I install, I have to go back to stock 2.3.6 every time? Or can I flash, for example a MIUI, right now, on my CM7, without going back to stock rom?

No need to flash stock every time. Data should be wiped along with cache

Downgrade from CM11 to CM 7 or any other ROM

Hi
I have installed CM11 (4.4.2) on Defy and it is working fine except the battery.
This entailed installing TWRP
Earlier I had MIUI Pikachu edition.
Questions
1. How do I install or restore my MIUI backup again.
2. Also I would like to downgrade to CM 7/9 which is more stable
Any links or step by step suggestions would be appreciated
Thanks
Ninad

Probably you need to flash sbf to get an old bootstrap.

I wan to downgrade as well, preferrably w/o sbf. But I flashed so often by now, searching for the fastest way w/o: 1-sbf, 2-reroot, 3-custom recovery and 4-flashing cm7 would take more time, than the flashing process itself.
So that's what I'm gonna do. Hope it gets snappier then. CM11 with just about 9-10 apps (facebook, messenger, whatsapp, gmail, gcal, aero control, battery stats, es file explorer) is already torture for my defy.

I have an idea, and its a possibility for you. I have a Atrix 4G which also is on CM11, and like you guys on the Defy, has a bigpart mod. For us to downgrade, its flash an old recovery, boot to recovery, factory reset, wipe all partitions (system, data, cache, boot (that should be the ones you have too)), flash desired ROM/restore backup. Not sure if that will work for you, but its worth a shot. If it doesn't work, i'd try sbf'ing (someone posted an sbf lately if i remember correctly

Unfortunately I don't know what sbf to take - it might be irrelevant, since i accidentally flashed to bl7 long ago and since I wanted to reroot again, twrp and cm7 it might not matter which one to flash. I am trying to speed things up a bit, and struggle with twrp atm, because safewipe.zip might no longer be safe (unable to enter twrp) or the version was not meant for my configuration.
Now i trimmed all part's and try amplifying services, but it's been a while since i tuned my defy.
OT: I switched to Moto G and E2 (but lost both ones - or they've been stolen) and now I want to reactivate my old pal before switching to anything new again. It's getting expensive...
So don't wait, maybe I'll get CM11 to work good enough again, but if not, I'll try to provide a checklist.
