Help !!! Defy cache problem i guess - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Tried factory resetting phone for 20 to 25 times and also wipe cache for same number of times but still when i switch on phone after few minutes of normal working serious force close issues on my stock rom.
Service center guys say they need to replace the main board. As far as in am concerned its a case of corrupt rom or corrupt cache partition.
I am on GB 2.3.6 Stock rom Asian Retail version.
I also need link for Asian Retail SBF file to try flashing with RSD lite myself.
Can anyone help me out in this situation?:crying::crying:

[Q] Boot loop issue - at&t Android 2.3.6

Hi,
I have dropped my phone few weeks back and cracked the screen. Still it was in working condition and every thing seemed working fine. But during the last few weeks my phone has received the OTA updates and now it is on Android 2.3.6. Now my phone is rebooting on it own. If I try to reboot it never reboots. When I try to reboot in 'Android Reboot with No BP' option, it reboots and every thing seems working fine but in few minutes it starts rebooting again on its own. Not sure when I dropped the phone it got some hardware damage or the OTA updates causing this reboot issue.
When I tried to boot up using 'Boot Android (no BP)' option it at least boots up and shows me Motoblur log in screen but again with in few seconds it goes back to boot up mode. Some times it stays for 5 to 10 minutes but never stays there more than 10 minutes and it goes back to boot loop.
I have unlocked my Atrix using Automatic boot loader tool. Did not help. Tried to flash with Motorola .SBF files both 2.3.4 and 2.3.6, no luck either. Did the factory reset, wipe out the cache etc....no luck.
I have even tried to install custom ROM (NottachTrix 4G), that didn't help either.
I am thinking it might have caused by Android 2.3.6 updates. So I want to try to flash it with a custom ROM which is built on 2.3.4 or lower but afraid to do that thinking I might hard brick my phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Well, unfortunately with the screen cracked, you can't return to Motorola. I had a goof with my Atrix when I first got it because I accidentally did a SBF flash to the wrong version and it bricked the phone and fried the motherboard and Motorola replaced it because I said the Gingerbread update messed it up. Ha.
Anyways, since returning to Moto is not an option for you, I would just go ahead and try to install a custom ROM, maybe try Neutrino ROM 2.2 or 2.5?
Do you have ROMRacer Recovery or CWM Recovery installed? Will it let you get into it? If so, put a custom ROM on your SD card, do a wipe data and cache and install it.
I'm no expert, but I have noticed no one else replied and just trying to help.
Hope all works out for you!
Boot loop issue - at&t Android 2.3.6
Thanks andreww88 for your reply. I read in one of the forums that once the phone is updated with 2.3.6 don't try to go back to older versions especially lower than 2.3.4. That would make the phone to be hard bricked. That is why I didn't try any other ROM other than NottachTrix 4G because it is built on 2.3.6. I could be wrong. That is why I need some guidance to try any other custom ROM.
i had the same issue. What i did was get the Atrix Fastool and whipe the phone. Then i extracted the sbf for 141 and then flashed 59 60 and 61 smg files from fastboot. After that everything worked properly. To then unlock my bootloader i used the flashing script and i was set. This is recoverable not easy but you can recover.
Thanks Moneyman1978 for your reply. Can you be more detail what you did to resolve this issue. Can you send me the links or point me to Fastool and 141 .SBF file also SMG files. Thanks again.

Well, I had a similar issue. I did the 4.5.141 (OS 2.3.6) OTA update and then it would just bootloop. I'm on stock, rooted, locked BL. I then ran the OTA update again via recovery and that didn't help. I then did a full factory reset, then update via recovery and still didn't fix anything (good thing I had TiBu backup). After calling AT&T they finally admitted that Moto recalled the 4.5.141 build update since there was WIDESPREAD boot-loop issues with many Atrix users. Great.
They're sending me a new phone. Luckily, mine is in good condition.
Any one please have any suggestions for me. Do you think it is a hardware issue or can it be fixed by fixing the software??? Any help is appreciated.
If any of you has any ideas about how to fix this issue I would appreciate if you can share it here.

I also used to have this problem, but baseband switcher worked like a charm

[Q] Rebooting Defy (in a whole new level)

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?

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?

[Q] My MS2 Semi brick....WIPE not working

My MS2 (using CM10.1,4.1.2) kept on showing error windows yesterday when I am opening apps, such as whatsapps, and it auto closed. It continue hangs and finally my whatsapp contact all gone, email apps and others cannot operate. Then i decided to wipe it and going to recover it afterward. However after wipe data and cache, it showed the same as the one before i wipe; I even reflash the same rom, it happened again.
I tried to use RSD lite to flash back stock rom,2.2.2 which works before, but now it failed to flash as screenshot below, even i use the 2.3.4 or other country rom.
Sometimes the screen show DAE1 after rsd flash, but not always.
Can anyone help me?

XT907 bricked (probably partitions in read-only)

Good morning.
After almost 3 years with no problems with a XT907, I have again an issue with it (this time, my father's one). Again, I come to you requesting help.
It all started with all apps crashing over and over. With an old XT907 I have for emergencies, the common fix method is flashing VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF.xml.zip with RSD Lite v6.1.5 and all solved.
I tried that method with my father unit, and when it started again, all process were still crashing. I thought it was still nothing (just a harder issue), and tried flashing VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml.zip, just deleting all his data, to fix it.
When the process ended, it turned on and it had still the same problem. In this point, I got worried the /system and /data partitions got locked
I re-started, went to stock Recovery, and wiped system and cache. Then, went to Fastboot a third time and tried again flashing VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF_SVC.xml.zip. Guess what? Still the same problem
The phone turns on, but ALL apps keep crashing over and over. I can't even take an screenshot, as it immediately reboots.
Someone know what happened with it? And... how to fix this issue?
