Can someone help me please?

My phone won't get passed the t-mobile mytouch 4g screen. This happened after I backed up my stock rom using rom manager and did a full wipe to start clean ut no after I went back and restored my backup, my phone is stuck on the mytouch screen and won't get pass that. Is my phone bricked? or can it be saved? can someone pls help me? I just got this phone yesterday and rooted it with no problem. All I did after the root was add a custom kernel. Everything was going great until I restored my backup. Pls help. Thanks in advance.
try going into the bootloader. press power& the volume down button at the same time. then let it load, select the option to boot into recovery. once u do that wipe all cache, data, and restore the backup u made. but if it doesn't boot up again then it might be a defective backup. might have to start fresh with flashing a new rom. but keep trying once u boot into the phone tho. goodluck!
I tried that and still not working. Is there away I can get a stock rom to flash?

Now I can't even boot into clockworkmod recovery. Now it boots me to the stock recovery. How can I get clockworkmod recovery back? I can't flash a rom without it.

The phone still says s-off so I don't know what is wrong and since I bought the phone yesterday I can take it back to t-mobile to get a new one but won't they notice the s-off and not exchange it?
Use Fastboot. It is like adb, but only uses the bootloader on the phone. If you don't have the SDK installed, you can get adb and Fastboot from TrueBlue_Drew's thread in the dev subforum.

I'm using fastboot but nothing happens. AM I screwed? I'm sorry for all the questions but this has never happened before.

Is there an official update.zip I can probably apply through the stock recovery?
Thanks Jaylito and Jggimi for your help, was able to get into cwm recovery and flash a new rom. It looks like I had a bad backup. Thanks again to you both.

Can't Flash boot image!!!

As the title says i can't flash any boot images
expect swiftdroids boot .img
Everytime i go onto recovery the swiftdroid boot image
comes up for about 1 sec and then the recovery menu
comes up!!!
I also tried flashing different CWMs but the same!!
My normal boot image does come up if i don't go to
recovery!! (It is the android boot image)
Cause of this i can't flash any type of boot .img

Anyone know how i can get rid of this??
I am using SuperFast Froyo so its got nothing to do

I did go to data/local/

Any help will be appreciated!!

I'm guessing you've already done a wipe & flash lol.
What do you mean by "...i can't flash any boot images...". Won't you be able to do that via fastboot or recovery? On my device with Swiftdroid, when I enter recovery it also comes up with the Swiftdroid logo and then quickly to recovery (when I decide to boot to recovery). Are you trying to say that the Swiftdroid logo comes with other ROMs instead of Swiftdroid itself?

It could be a problem with the recovery image. Do you get the Swiftdroid logo when booting normally?

Maybe the other ROMs take more space than Swiftdroid's boot image. How big are the other's ROMs' boot images compard to Swiftdroid boot images?

Solve the problem!!
Edit: ok right now I reflashed
recovery with boot animation disabled!!
And the swiftdroid didn't come up!!
then i tried with boot animation abled
and it still didn't come up!! YAA
But to confirm i am gonna flash a new new rom
to see if it has the same problem!!

By any chance do you have ClockworkMod Recovery on your phone???
Because with this one you can try to access it and over there Wipe Dalvik Cache, do a wipe data/factory reset, and if this doesn't works to wipe cache partition.
After doing this I will look for a restore image over the web, there are tons of them, Install one of them with the ClockworkMod Recovery, and just after the first boot access once again the Recovery and do a wipe data/factory reset. I think this way you will have a phone with nothing on it just a new OS.
If you need a guide for installing ClockworkMod this is the first one I used:

[Q] Restoring clockoworkmod backup

I'm sorry in advance if it has been asked already.
Do I need to perform any wipes before restoring a backup? I'm currently on CM7.2 RC1 and made a backup of it and want to switch to Defy+ CM9 build for a while then go back to CM7.2. Last time I did it (restored CM7 backup after installing CM9) it just stuck on Boot logo and couldn't move on so I had to start from scratch (new installation). Any guides just mention clicking on restore and that's all. Thanks in advance for an answer!
Can anyone help me? I did as I wrote (switched for a while to CM9 GB build from CM7.2 FROYO) then wanted to restore CM7 backup, tried both with and without wipes (data, cache, dalvik) but it just gets stuck on boot logo and won't move on. What am I doing wrong?
You don't need to do a wipe for restoring a nandroid..
I assume you're using the same recovery with which you made the backup..

Thanks for an answer! I made a backup with CM7 (froyo) recovery and was restoring with the one that was installed along with CM9 (gb). So that was the cause?
You flashed the CM9 ROM through recovery.. right??
ROM's do not change recovery.. Its the same for both..

Why don't you try Dual Boot...
refer to the below mentionedlink:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659
However, to install CM9 I'm not sure if someone uploaded itsnandroid backup. Please note that to use the backup and restore youcan only use a Nandroid backup as ROM.zip file can not be restored.
What I understand from your post is that you have CM9 rom in zipformat; if this is the case then you can only install it usingInstall from SD card option from Custom Recovery.

Wiping data removes Custom recovery. If the new ROM has aCustom recovery then only it appears otherwise we have to reinstallthe Custom recovery.

I think you got me wrong. I was using CM 7.2 Froyo build and made a backup of it through recovery. Then I installed CM9 GB build (wiped data, installed rom, kernel, gapps) and have been using it for a while then I wanted to switch back to my CM7.2 backup (went to the recovery, choosed restore) and it said restoring was succesfull but when I rebooted it just stuck on bootlogo and couldn't move on. Any idea what am I doing wrong?

Technically, you haven't done anything wrong. What I've learnt from my experience and posts, this is one heck of a weird phone.
Might be a chance your backup is corrupted or incomplete (highly unlikely bt I've seen it in a device)
Or some other glitch which m nt sure of..

Well as I said..this phone definitely acts senseless sometimes.. a data wipe in my case didn't remove the recovery or bootmenu.
Even reported it in the app thread..

Now, I understand your issue.
Try using below mentioned steps:
1. Boot into latest/custom recovery;
2. Wipe data/cache;
3. Restore the complete Nandroid backup;
4. Now from advance wipe dalvik cache and battery logs;
5. Now reboot the phone.
Please use above mentioned steps and share the results.
Hope this helps!!
Also try to install latest clockwordmod backup.

@MarcinRN
I think your problem is kernel related, if you switch to CM7 from CM9 with GB-Kernel you must restore the froyo-kernel for CM7.

That's the problem. You can find the kernels on epsy's site. Flash the kernel and restore the nand (there are also options in advanced restore if it still doesn't work, don't know if you need them)

Thanks guys I'll try it next time. However, I read somewhere that backup contains kernel too, don't know how much true is in that.

[Q] Recovery Stock motorola not work

Hi, so i have latest miui V4 2ndboot on my defy. First i have latest CM10 Quarx.
When I change Rom all perfect
but when I try enter to stock recovery my phone stay on moto logo and i pull out battery fot boot phone
For other i can enter to cwm recovery and phone work,
For restore motorola recovery? I flash any zip?
this can cause problems?
Thanks for all
P.S. I have motorola defy MB525 red lense

Why you need stock recovery, if you have included 2ndinit in custom roms. 2nd: if you want to restore stock recovery, you'll need to start from scratch...

In that case you need to start from begining: flash sbf. etc. because I dunno if you find a bootloader.img to flash.

Stock recovery disappeared, it's happen sometimes when using custom roms. No clue too.
But it's not even a problem, you don't need stock recovery if you're using custom roms. Custom/stable recovery work it all.
You only need Stock recovery once you want to revert back to stock roms.
When you flash stock SBF successfully Stock recovery will work again! (and let you wipe to gracefully boot into rom.)
So, you plan to return to stock? If not, stop this worries until you planned to.

Well, you probably wiped /system.. I would suggest finding a custom ROM and flash that. You might be able to find stock images. I don't see why you erased your partitions though..
