Edit: solved
Hi, im having a small problem, every time i turn on my Defy+, it shows bootanimation, finish booting and reboots itself again, infinetly, it used to do that since a long time, but after 15 minutes i was able to use the phone normally, but now im on an infinite booting loop, im running the motorola stock 2.3.5 rom :good: with bootmenu and custom recovery, please i would use advices for what to do to boot without loosing data ( data reset ), can i wipe cache? Any tool in bootmenu i could use... My idea is to boot phone without loosing apps and app data, i suppose this happens because i downloaded too many apps in the BEST ROM EVER :silly:, but well, if you know how to boot and keep my apps and app data, please tell me.
Sorry for bad english
Try wiping cache in Stock Recovery, don't wipe data if you don't want to loose anything.
If you're lucky enough you'll boot into rom again, grab this chance and uninstall every app you think it's affect your phone. The more the better.
But if no luck...Cry a bit and do a data wipe in Stock Recovery.
Installing too much apps will result to this, whatever phone/rom you're using.
Solved
:victory::victory: In the 20 seconds I can use the phone, I uninstalled apps, and now it's working ok :victory:

I tried loading the latest build (CM10 11/28) onto my defy. I completely forgot to load gapps afterwards and went ahead and rebooted. Now, it gets stuck on the cyanogenmod logo and does not boot past that. The only thing I can do is remove the battery. When I reboot, the same thing happes. Unfortunately, I no longer get the boot menu so I can't even run recovery from my backup.
How can I fix this so I can use my phone again?

Nevermind...apparently pressing vol. down when the LED flashes blue gets me to a boot menu. Pheww!
Got it loaded, but having several problems: cannot connect to Play store, cannot receive phone calls, and email is spotty.

Your Gapps not working correctly, probably you installed incorrect ones, I recommend you to repeat the whole process:
1 full wipe x2 (you loose data so if you have data ensure yourself a backup)
2 flash stock sbf with rsd lite
3 root your phone
4 install 2ndinit
6 install cm10 from custom recovery
7 full wipe again
8 boot phone at least once
9 install quarx minimal gapps (thats your actual problem, your gapps not working correctly)
10 wipe again
11 restore backup if any.

I don't think he has to flash the sbf, just flash gapps n wipe data n cache. also try dalvik cache

You could simply install a new .zip from recovery. You could use the same CM10 11/28 or any other rom. This shoud work out for you.
I experienced the same with my Defy today and I installed a new CM 10 09/05 by Epsylon and it worked like a charm.
Thank you for the replies!
I had to flash it a hundred times to get it to work (I kept getting write access errors for cache folder). What ended up working was to wipe everything and install the 9/24 build. From there, I rebooted and installed (without wiping) the latest build along with the correct gapps. It works fantastically now! My phone is soo much more responsive and I'm loving CM10.
3ze had it right. I was using the latest gapps (12/2) instead of the "minimal" version in the quarx dir.
I haven't noticed a battery drain as has been widely reported here. In fact, it seems to be less of a drain now though that is likely due to the fact that I wiped everything and only installed apps I needed this time around. Tons of unnecessary apps could explain why my battery life was less before.
I have noticed a slight difference in reception now though. Places that used to be fine for connecting to the network (Tmobile) have now become less strong and frequently dropping out. I wonder if the signal strength could have been messed with?
Hi, I've searched my problem but came up only with "regular" reboot answers. Let me explain:
I was using the newest CM10 builds by Quarx as they were coming, and once in a while my phone rebooted/freezed. I was using nightlies so I was ok with that kinda of thing. But after flashing the last nightly (07/03), my phone was rebooting whenever I pushed him harder than opening the app drawer.
After wiping data, cache and everything else without any results, I've decided to flash an official SBF - Then the phone rebooted in the middle of the RSD flash process. I've started it again and it went ok... but now my phone is rebooting at the Moto logo, when I try to wipe the cache or factory reset through bootloader. I can't do anything with him.
Can someone give me any expectation? Something new to try? Or, hell, even a confirmation that my Defy is dead and there's nothing I can do?
SBF
Hi,
draw the battery,
wait a time,
put the battery inside,
start the steps to flash sbf,
after the flashing is finish make a factory reset in stock recovery,
install 2ndint ( i wrote something on the beginning like: After install 2ndinit restart, deactivat usb debug,and restart again),
Then install one of the beautiful CMs here.

You just have to flash another rom using RSD lite, It will work.
Or just flash the official ROM which u had before installing the CM 10
Thanks for the attention, but I have tried flashing both his original SBF (Retail 2.3.7 from Brazil) and the Chinese one, both causing reboots when I try to wipe data/cache in recovery. If I let it turn on normally it reboots in the first steps (wifi and account configuration), so I can't even install 2ndinit or wipe data through the system. Any other ideas?
Hello i have a serious problem
I have infinite bootloop in every ROM, every baseband/radio, and in stock. I tested the (4.2, 4.4, 5.0) and any of this works. I wiped the system/data/cache/dalvik a lot of times and installed the CM11 in 4.4 baseband but still not working.
The bootloader is unlocked and fastboot working well. I spent all the day testing solutions of my knowledge but dont work.
Any idea?

Have you tried just flashing the full factory images? Or booting TWRP via fastboot and looking at the results of a manual wipe to ensure all partitions are "good"? Often when I hear about an "infinite bootloop" on every rom, it means the internal storage is bad, sometimes flashing the factory images helps, and sometimes it's just time to put the poor thing to rest... :/

I solved it with a rare solution, i install the stock Android L wait for the bootloop and i press the power button until the phone power off later i restart and works and it works in every stock ROM. Sounds weird but works.

Definitely weird... How long are you waiting for this "bootloop"? The reason I ask is because the first boot on lollipop takes an extremely long time since it is ART, 10-15 minutes for first clean boot, or over 30 minutes with a dirty flash isn't unheard of, and the first boot doesn't give the "Android is updating", just the swirling circles, if you interrupted it you could have other issues later on.

I wait several times more than 10 minutes. I wipe data/cache after restart the phone. I found the solution in Google Forum: https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/D2vKK9rLgh8[1-25-false]
You should only have to wipe /cache from recovery to get out of it. I believe wiping /data is unnecessary (so you can avoid losing your data if you are concerned.
Well this is my 1st post so first of all hey everyone
I just spent a week in Amsterdam and my phone restarted twice, different times different days and I dont remember what I was doing with it back then.
But as I landed back home I put the phone back from "Airplane Mode" and went on to toggle "Cellular Data" on.
The second I pressed the cellular data shortcut on my the phone restarted itself but this time whenever it would finish the screen would be on but fully black and sometimes it'll show battery precentage at the top but then will restart again in an infinite loop.
Sometimes it'll pop up the "Optimizing Apps" window and will go through all 24, upon finishing it will restart once more and do the same.
I tried using the bootloader and it worked (the bootloader that is) but the phone would do the same thing even after Rebooting from there or shutting down from there and then turning back on.
I contacted tech support on chat but they couldnt help past telling me to go to bootloader and reboot, said I should factory wipe when it failed.
Also tried wiping cache but to no avail.
I have no backup of my phone (wanted to do one before the flight but got lazy and I suck for not doing one sooner) since probably October and google doesnt backup my contacts properly for some unknown reason.
I already downloaded Android Studio with everything included for me to try using adb to sideload stock without wiping but its my first time and I couldnt get it to do anything at all...
I already got the official stock .gz file from the motorola website.
Anyway here are the specs to my phone:
XT1575
Everything is stock. didn't root or change recovery once in my life.
Was fully updated and had plenty of drive space (I have almost 128GB with the 64GB version + 64GB SD)
I'm really lost here so help will be very appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Noam
Start with a full wipe and if that doesn't work flash the stock image. Not sure what your question is though as you never really say. Once fixed I would unlock and make a backup so you don't have to deal with this again.

The thing I pretty much want to know is if theres a way to either backup the phone now with it connected to the computer while in bootloader or recovery. or a way to flash the stock rom without wiping which I read someone did with his tablet. I cant post source normally because I'm a new user so here it is but change spaces to dots: schnouki net/posts/2014/08/13/flashing-a-stock-android-image-without-wiping-user-data/
Also while in recovery I noticed 2 options under wipe: 1. userdata only. 2. userdata+(insert something I dont remember here) and I was wondering what gets deleted in both? if I delete only userdata what data will remain? something helpful?
Sure you can try flashing without wiping data but being locked I personally wouldn't risk it. No idea about backing up in your state... somewhere I remember a thread on backing up without root try searching in q&a.

Out of curiosity why shouldnt I try flashing with no wipe if ill lose the data anyway? worst case wont I just have to wipe after it fails and flash again?
And I will try thank you
Do you have any knowledge about the 2 wipe options?
Thanks in advance
Well I tried turning the phone on and it took a couple of minutes before loading to a fresh start. It apparently wiped itself on its own. Managed to restore almost everything.
Anyhow the phone takes too long to boot now. Was even stuck at boot and I had to restart it.
Anyway to fix my software? Or at least check for corruption?

Hi. Goodday and i want to start of by thanking everybody for reading this and taking your time in advance.
My problem is very clear. I have rooted my phone with odin. Installed the recovery from TRMP?(ik think that's what it's called). Flashed the ROM CyangenMod 12.1. Now i tried flashing the Xposed software which is not a problem (i wipe dalvik before hand). After a reboot and then letting my phone boot up, i just keeps the boot up animation going for around 5 minutes. Didn't try longer then that. After that i booted in recovery again an flashed the uninstalled Xposed and me phone boots normally again (not taking into account it has to optimise the apps again which makes sense after a dalvik whipe).
Any ideas on a solution? Any information you might need ect. Ps, i am not super skilled or anything. I understand a little more then thr basics and thats it.
Again, thanks for your time and help!!
