ive tried VOL+ also, no results..
i wanna upgrade to cyangen or 2.2 froyo but no luck..
the rom manager downloads the cyangen, but when i tell it to flash and install it resets and boots up again like nothing ever happened..
the clockworkmod says i need to install a custom recovery??
i really need something easy!
ive got a hold of the swedish froyo that has an EXE file to run from the pc, but then i need to get into FTM. and i cannot..!!??
plz help out!!!

also i have tried privacy and return to factory, tried rooting, tried unrooting, tried recoverymod and then reset, but nothing..
am i missing something??
i have changed the memorycard.. is that it?

i have flashed it..
i fitted the original sdcard and went tor and rooted it like 5 times, tried some recoverystuff, and suddenly i got a program to start working with the clockwork recoveryflash, and i told my phone to rboot and install rom, it restarted, went into the flash setup, and i had to find cyangenmodzip and flash from there.. and it worked, then i had to install googleapps.. took me a while to realixze HOW to get market in there.. but mnow its all good..

Enjoy CM7!

And then u go and download 7.0.3 or 7.1 rc and flash that over the 7 0 2.. as thats better..

[Q] defy+ - tried to install miui, didn't work

Hi Guys and Girls, I hope this is the right place for my question. Sorry if I sound like a 12-year old - my english is not really the best...
I own the Motorola Defy+, and I tried to get rid of motoblur. I installed SndInit 2.0, did a reboot, did a backup, did factory reset, wiped dalvik cache and picked the miui-rom I had previously placed on my SD. The installation went pretty good, my phone told me that it finished the installation and I did another reboot.
After the reboot I get the red M (default Motorola-logo just like before I was meddling around with the phone) but just for a very short period of time and then I get a black screen with white letters (slightly out of proportion) saying:
Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,00,00,23
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB
When I remove the USB-cable the last two lines are replaced by:
Connect USB
Data Cable
Do you guys have any idea, how I could get MIUI, CM or anything else running on my phone again? I'd even be quite happy to have the stockrom running again, since a phone with ****ty motoblur is still better than no phone at all.
I'd be really grateful for any kind of help, thanks in advance.

The miui you installed was for defy or defy+? And , can you access to recovery?
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz

You have forgot to do 2 things. this might be the problem .
Do:
1. Factory reset.
2. wipe data cache.
3. wipe dalvik cache.
4.install MIUI rom.
5. wipe once again data cache.
6. reboot.
If you can access recovery again . my guess you can..

Thank you guys for taking care of me!!
@LeonardoJegigzem
The MIUI is called miui-ger_DEFY_1.12.23_FULL_EN_DE.zip - it's for Defy but I've read in forums that it should run on Defy+ aswell.
@VoLtrex31
I can't access recovery (I'm assuming you're talking about the "push volume-down when blue LED turns on"-recovery?), the screen I described in OP appears right after the red-M shows up for the first time.
You are right, I didn't wipe data cache neither before, nor after the installation.

Thats not good.
Search in the forums for how to access the recovery via your computer..
This might be your only way.
Ask more forums for technical help since xda is not the best forum for asking for help.
because i am not an expert .
But don't worry i bet many people got that problem too so there is a solution .

at last you have stock recovery(i think)
to access it (on defy) ress and hold VOL DOWN and power button.
Than after(about 10 sec) you'll get an exclamation mark.
Now press VOL UP and DOWN at the same time and you can wipe data.
If phone boots up perfectly yo can reinstall 2ndinit.
If not.. i think that you have to flash the appropriate sbf via rsd lite.

Now that's great news - the folks at motorola seem to know that ppl want to avoid ****ty motoblur and **** up their phones so they built an easy way to rescue broken phones.
I will try that asap - right now I'm using an old sony ericsson Xperia X8 - want my Defy+ back!
Thanks buruss!

Hi guy,I know about what you talking.
1. everytime i stuck on "white letters" i recovered my defy+ with RSDLite and correct SBF file.
2. If you have 2.3.6 version of stock rom,miui or any common cm7 won't work - afaik. You must downgrade (somewhere is topic about it) or use cm7.2 or cm9

Yea, I 've been through the same today/yesterday, and after a lot of cursing I can tell you it is exactly like this T.T you have to re-flash the stock ROM 2.3.6 again, and then if you find a way to downgrade/install Miui-CM/basically anything than staying with the stock ROM, let me know! xD
Just relax, I'm telling you this because yesterday I could have killed a dragon with my bare hands, but a soft brick is NP, as long as RSDlite recognizes your phone you can always going back to safety, from what I've learnt hard bricking a Defy is veryveryvery hard, thanks/due to a locked boot loader

Hey Guys, first let me thank you! I'm feeling quite happy now knowing that I'm not the only one with this kinda problem and I'll try the RSDlite-rescue-mission in a few days.
Happy new year everybody!

I guess it's inevitable, when you start trying this and that custom ROM, sooner or later you're going to screw it up xD but it's actually good when that happens, because you know 100% you can fix everything - you did it once, you'll do it again
Happy new year!

miui uses the 2.2 froyo as base, since all the defy plus have gingerbread miui wont boot, miui hve boot.img and davtree.img in the rom.zip, if you flashan old boot.img in to a newer defy plus with new bootloader(2.3.6) you get an error, ho to fix it, try deleting the boot.img and devtree.img from the zip and replace the 2.3.6 boot.img and devtree.img form 2.3.6 and add it to the zip( miui rom) and try to flash it again and see if it works

You guys are awesome! Phone is booting again
installed RSDlite 5.3.1
downloaded the latest .sbf for my phone and my provider
let RSDlite do its magic and now everything's working just fine.
Next thing to do - try again to get rid of motoblur!

It's not 100% true, I installed MIUI over my 2.3.4 Gingebread and it worked like a charm
Only problem is, I can't install it anymore now that I'm on 2.3.6, but 2.2 is not strictly needed, 2.3.4 worked as well

Hey, guys! I have the exact same problem. I tried to install a Galnet MIUI ROM over at galnetmiui.co.uk, and i messed it up. I didn't really know what i was doing. Perhaps i forgot to wipe cache after installation. Have the exact same error message as mikrokosmonaut.
I was running my mb 256 with android 2.3.6, as far as I know, i have to use RSD Lite to istall stock rom again. Where do I find the correct SBF? My phone was bought without a service provider subscribtion, so I have no clue where to find the right SBF. I have no objection against having blur on the phone.
Can anyone help?

hi guys!!
i've tried to install miui on my defy+ 2.3.6.. like i read on this thread i modified the .zip file changing the boot.img and devtree with the original one.
but mt defy can't boot.. stuck at motorola logo..
what can i do?? does anyone managed to install miui on a defy+ 2.3.6?
now i'm using cyanogen and it works fine, but i prefer miui
thanks!!

I don't think MIUI work on 2.3.6. you need CM7.2, or maybe some latest nightly version of MIUI

thanks for your reply! indeed i'm using cm 7.2.. it works pretty well, except some delays! never heard about miui nightly! i did a research on google but i couldn't find anything.. any idea??
thanks again!

hi again!
i was thinking.. you said miui shouldn't work on 2.3.6 and i guess you are right! so if i do the same thing i did (change the boot and devtree file in the latest miui.zip that is 2.3.7 if i'm not wrong) but using files from android 2.3.7?
maybe i try to explain myself better..
i make a nandroid backup of my cm 7.s2 which is 2.3.7.
then i change the files boot and devtree from cm 7.2 to the latest miui.
should it work? what do you think?
thanks again

Hi, folks! *GREAT NEWS!*
Some guys over at the devs section on the thread below have found a froyo sbf with bootloader 6 (the same as the defy 2.3.6 sbf)!!! This means we can use it to downgrade to froyo and install MIUI over it!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731
I haven't tried it yet, but will flash later today or tomorrow. You should read through some of the posts and decide for yourselves if you want to try or not.
All the best!

Need help with [ROM] MIUI based Elite ROM v9.6a Multilanguage 2012-02-09

Hi there guys!!!
I've been trying to install this ROM but i can't pass the 1st phase.
The thing is that, when i try to downgrade my ROM version, it just doesn't finish the unpacking process.
I'm trying to downgrade to B163 but nothing. (tried with B138 too - same happens)
I'm using MIUI-2.1.20 Kernel 2.6.35.7.
I've tried with all the wipes, data/factory reset.
Any help, please?
Ty

i also tried to install that rom. but i managed to downgrade the official rom to kernel version .32. after i installed elite rom my phone wont turn on. i have the infinite reboot loop problem.
i installed many custom roms before so i know what i'm doing. but i just cant get it to work. after 6-10~ hours of trying i gave up. now i'm using official 2.3.5 rooted again.
i guess i wouldn't have this problem if i never installed the officaal 2.3.5 update.
i also installed the 2.2.2 rom 3 times without success.
any other ideas how could i fix this?
to"SirLittleJohn". did u tried to wipe data and cache in recovery before downgrading?

Unfortunatly i can't help you with your problem...
Yea, i did.

Have you tried to install it without the battery? Just plug it in without it and give it a go. And try changing the install media (internal/external sdcard).

Tyvm! I just plugged the cable while pressing Vol + and Vol - and voila!
Let's see what happens next
I'll keep you guys updated
EDIT:
ROM Elite's already installed!
I still need to check some thins and search a lil bit more cause im getting FC at start cause of the message app i think. And another thing i need to fix is that the phone's acting like i don't have any SIM (doesn't ask for PIN).
But not now lol-
Once again, TY!!!!! <3
EDIT2: Ok, now everything seems OK unless 1 thing: now it doesn't get signal with a SIM from another mobile company. It's not unlocked anymore. Any way to solve this?
Once again, ty

Did you make a back up before you flashed cm9? if you did open the back up and restore menu and select your back up
If not... one of the ways to return is to use the KDZ...as if your bricked your phone. This is how you downgrade/upgrade and unbrick when your phone is in emergency mode,
Do you have a standard l3? you know E400 not E400F,G or R?
Also are you open (unlocked) or are you on a network/carrier, like tmobile. LG Firmware... is where you will get your stock rom to flash in kdz
I guess your new.. but i dont want to write out all the steps.. im sure you can find them if you google or search on here.
Not when you back in stock, you know 2.3 you will have to re root your phone.

N910G need help, boot loop problem

Hi guys,
Before registering ID in this forum, I have already tried all methods but still failed.
the story is:
1. I was using unloot stock rom for near one year. I installed too many software, it became slow and losing power so quickly.
2. Then I looted it, still use stock rom, I found root was not perfect, sometimes lost control, will reboot automatically.
3. I decided to fully loot it. Then I use custom recovery and "nameless rom", its a good rom, but the phone sometimes show boot loop. I think that's OK at least boot loop is not frequent.
4. last week, I flashed another custom rom ”CM12.1“ ,much smoother, howerver, disaster began, just using less then half day, it is always on boot loop!!!!
now I even can't use my phone, already tried two WIPE in recovery, take out battery.....
flash original stock with Odin, show green PASS, but still on boot loop.
the worst situation now is it boots too fast to get in recovery!!!
please help

You just can't keep flashing any roms as u wish. I hope u know the concept of bootloaders and baseband versions... lets say for example ur flashing a rom having baseband version say "ABC", so even though u have a custom recovery and wipe data and all that, u cannot install another rom having baseband version say "XYZ". For that u have to flash the bootloader made for that baseband version from odin first. Got it?

Now (assuming u have done a clean install of the stock rom with same bootloader & modem and still getting boot loop) go to recovery and wipe data factory reset. And wipe cache. And reboot. It MUST work fine now!

This method worked fine with me and everyone. It should work with u too. Now in ur case even after doing a clean install of the stock rom with bootloader & modem, and ur still getting a boot loop... then I suggest u take it to the service center. If u have tripped ur knox but u installed clean stock rom, service center will charge u about 150 Rs. (3 dollars) to fix the issues.
