Hi,
I was using quarx' cm10.1 on my defy plus and it worked quite okay, until I somehow managed to mess up my installation by trying to install moves2sd. Now it won't boot anymore, I'm stuck with the Motorola logo. I can acess the the bootmenu though, but can't acess the costum recovery.
I really don't know how to proceed now. I think the file structure is somehow broken and that it may be enough to reinstall the cm10.1 zip file, but I don't know how to do that without the costum recovery. Is this possible in any way?

Not possible. Start from sbf, root, 2ndinit.

I used CM7 for a while, but recently the device stopped booting it only shoes the honeybee icon and resarts.
I the following without success
1. wipe cache
2. factory reset data
3. used CM7 rom and MUIU rom to for update.zip but the update stopss with cache:recovery/log can't mount
Another trial was RSDLITE but the boot loader was shown once and later its shows Failed to initialize ....... failed to flash
the only way I feel would work is to use ADB method to replace the partitions, but need help to know how to do it (sdk and adb tools already installed), what files are required can the CM7 rom has all the img files
Please help in a simple step by step way.
oh that sounds like an interesting problem, such as mine
i never heard of a bootproblem even after wipe ... that's the problem of my defy as well ... look at my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1522842
mabe, we have the same problem? would be nice to know, so we can move on together ...
nice greetz
EDIT: i even have a full dump of the unlocked chinese defy ... so if any partition is failed, we could overwrite it with the one of that defy ...

Thanks DJ_ sunergy
However, I unable to flash the SBF also as it fails in rsdlite. may I have the custom rom with mount recovery issue. How do you use adb to push the recovery img to the phone. I am not able to do that , i dont have these files either. help in reflashin the individual partitions. maybe this will help
i'm not able to do anything on my defy but flashing full-sbf ... cause i don't have any cwm at the defy at the moment, so i have no ability to get ADB-conection ...
so .. please ... leve it at this and do not flash any full-sbf, because it will overwrite cwm and you don't have any adb such as me
with adb ability we should be able to flash your / our defy with a working rom ... that just needs trial and error
EDIT:
ehhm .. let's talk over IRC:

Thnks you gave me hope, i d have the CWM working which gives error on mount recovery. But It seems I am not aware on what you suggested as
"with adb ability we should be able to flash your / our defy with a working rom"
could you help me how to use adb and where can i get the necessary image files which mentioned in almost all solutions. confused ho to flash thse boot.img, recovery.img flash partitions etc
hope is allready there, because the defy is nearly unbrickable ... totally bricking the phone is quiet impossible (if you aren't Epsylon3 ) ...
I got the clue now, the recovery running on my defy is 3e and the CWM recovery has gone missing, thats is why is not allowing unsigned roms to even try to mount. If somehow I can get CWm or some other recovery manager to run. I might survice. did you DJ_synergy try this thourgh some tools. do let me know your experience too.
Somebody please help on this issue. How do i get the ADB , recovery image work on this device.
wtf? you didn't have CWM running n your Defy?
Thankfully RSD worked
The RSDlite took me back to stock by using JORDN sbf.
Now trying CWM wiki to get custom recovery installed and will try MUIU on this.
HI I'm having a Motorola Defy 2.2 Rooted phone. Now I replaced my default fonts in system/fonts directory with the fonts i copied from Samsung Galaxy Y. After restarting the phone, it keeps blinking and does not enter inside. How can I solve this issue.
Stock rom? Then you'll have to flash an sbf again. Just Search
If you're on a stock rom, flash the easy recover (search), flash your custom rom and the defy kernel from that recovery and reboot.
Think that are the easiest ways.
Thanks

Hey thanks for ur reply...
I did a hard format in the recovery screen. and after that it entered inside. eventhough if i locked the screen, the phone restarted locked again..
so after hard formatting i installed font changer and changed my font using that.. now its working fine
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
up
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...

stock recovery is available through bootmenu (2nd or 3rd option). So reboot in bootmenu.

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

if no i have download sbf rsd lite and ready for all

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.

The Defy TWRP works on the Bravo, but its only up to version 2.1 and can't install large Aroma roms (WR, Pikachu, etc). Your better off reading the thread over at Defy Development. Its neat and works, but our custom CWM 5 is the best for us in terms of reliability and stability.

Its installed be default with CM10 or PA. The newer the rom, the newer the recovery.
You can copy the zip/system/bootmenu/.... to other roms to get the touch ui in the bootmenu, just don't overwrite your current roms init scripts....and use a PRE 2nd Kernel zip when porting the bootmenu to non custom kernel roms. This isn't something I'd advise doing cause if you don't know what your fully doing you can easily put yourself in a position to flash the sbf. I sbf'd 3 times adding the JB Touch bootmenu to CM7.

I have a couple of ideas, but I'd be guessing with all of them. Probably just an error from CM10 using a newer recovery than Mokee. Since CM10's /system was restored, so was its bootmenu\recovery -- try doing a full restore now that you're using the same recovery that backed it up .
Crap like this is why we need an unlocked bootloader, or even just a place to hide a custom recovery -- with every rom you flash, your recovery changes and bad things can\have happened. While its nowhere as bad as it once was, problems like yours still occur from time to time. Its the same reason that there's so many posts with people having problems from using BandroidX Recovery -- its a very old CWM based recovery that uses different formats than whats used now (can't even install newer roms with it). Old and new don't usually play nicely with us .

Yeah, i tried to restore backup using cm10 recovery and although it said cant restore .android.secure something like that(iam not quite sure) it restored system as well as data.
The thing is i like mokee os .its speed, clean and clear... ecetra but it is not jelly bean.can't we have a cm10 tweaked and modified for bravo.of course I love your PA jelly bean there are lots of tablet tweaks can you also add some other functions like in pimp my rom.
And thanks man for answering my queries
Hi guys, need some help here. I'm sure this has been asked before but i just couldn't find any
Installed slimkat 20140406-0134 rom (cm11) last night and it's basically working. But I'm still not feeling comfortable using it as there's still bugs around. So thought of going back to cm7.2 for now. But for the life of me couldn't figure out how to get to the tool section so I can re-partition it back to ext3!!!
All I could get in to is twrp recovery and that's it. how do I even get into the bootmenu section where I can choose recovery, cpu settings, tools, etc? There's no red Moto logo with blue LED at boot up anymore
Is there any uninstall instruction somewhere, or perhaps someone should write one?
44 viewers but no reply
any idea if i can install some sort of apps to achieve the same end? like a wipe app to re-partition it to ext3, and then an older recovery to install cm7 rom, or restore my cm7 backup?
don't really want to just try and see what will happens. also trying to avoid flashing sbf and start from scratch.....
edit: will aromawiper work? reboot to twrp recovery 2.6.3.0, aromawipe to ext3 and then flash cm7.2 rom straight after? expert opinion and advice please.
edit 2: oh well, tried it and didn't work. might be because i didn't install an older, compatible recovery before i rebooted. stuck at red moto logo and had to flash sbf and start all over again......
case closed...........

you can flash cm10 to get the boot menu to format to ext3 then flash to cm7.2.
Thats what i did when i tested cm11.
Or use Aroma wiper to format to ext3 and flash CM7.2.

that's exactly what i did but didn't work. aromawiper seems to have worked properly but twrp 2.6.3.0 keep saying "no os installed" after i installed the gb rom and tried to reboot. tried maniac's cm7.2 and an older wiui gingerbread rom. i thought it might be a hickup and rebooted anyway and that was it.
don't know what went wrong there. has anyone actually tried this method before and got it to work?
edit: imho twrp is not worth it. it rebooted 8-10 times on me after installing cm11 and tried to get back into recovery to flash gapps. also other problems like blank backup files and my failures to install rom problem. they should have stuck to cwm until the problems are fixed.
edit 2: and i think removing bootmenu is not a good idea. more steps to take if you want to go back to cm7.2.
