Have no internal storage and can't install any ROMs - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I gave my old phone Defy Red lens to a friend. He messed around with bootloader and now the OS does not see any internal storage so i can't install any bootloaders.
Can't acces custom bootloader.
I can only acces a recovery mode but my options are limited.
I did a full wipe and cache wipe from the recovery mod but i only managed to get inside os but all data resets everytime and there is no storage as stated before.
Please check attached photos for more information on build etc.
I tried RSD lite but it won't see phone while in recovery mode.
Any help is appreciated.

Bootloader is already in the phone, you must be talking about custom recovery. When you reboot your phone, a blue LED will light up. Immediately push volume down, then choose recovery->Teamwin recovery.
To enter bootloader, switch off your phone, then first press volume up then power button, keep them pressed until the screen lights up a little, then let them go. A screen appears, which is the bootloader. This is needed for RSDLite.
About your problem, download AROMA/full wiper zip. Go to custom recovery, then press install and choose the zip. Choose EXT4 and wipe system, data and cache. DO NOT REBOOT. After that, immediately flash a ROM+Gapps.
By the way, when you cleared data and cache in stock recovery (the one in the photo), they were formatted to ext3, which led to those problems.

[Q] I finally brick by defy

I just manged to brick my defy. All I did was to restore NANDROID backup.
The phone freeze in recovery mode, I put out and the inserted the battery, sins then the phone show only the red dot with big M. No LED blinking and I cannot access recovery or bootloader modes.
please help!!!
power phone on with holding volume down should get you into bootloader and powering on holding volume up should get you into recovery. In recovery you will see android with ! press both volume buttons at the same time to access recovery.
You might want to try wipe cache and delvic cache then try again or you will have to flash a RSD with the version of your stock phone.

Hey
Today I was on Team Win Recovery Project v2.21 and I wanted to flash a new mod in however half way, I accidentally click on reboot now.
I already - Factory reset my device

After I tried to reflash my rom but it failed again.After this I accidentally reboot my device and now it is stuck on a screen with "Reboot.." as the title. I can not restart the my nexus 7, touch any keys given (home and back). When I press/hold power, it comes up with a look.

Reboot into bootloader (hold power to turn off, as soon as it does hold vol down)
Install the android sdk if you haven't. Download a recovery image from clockworkmod.com, put the image in your /platform-tools folder. Open a command Window there
Fastboot flash recovery xxxx.img
Fastboot boot xxxx.img
Dl a rom
Put it in your platofrm-tools folder
Adb push romxxx.zip /sdcard/Download
Flash the ROM in recovery
Reboot

When I turn on my tablet now, it automatically open up ClockworkMod Recovery. I am able to properly install a rom (wipe all data then install rom from sd) but when i reboot my device it goes back into clockwordmod recovery. Any idea how to bypass automatically booting straight into recovery mood and booting into flashboot?
EDIT
i am unable to push new roms in
mis-post, my bad.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.1(or 10.2) stuck in bootloop? D:

So about a few hours ago I saw that I could download the new 10.2 cyanogenmod. I wanted it because it was Android 4.3, so I downloaded it. I tried watching flash movies and stuff, and the browsers and stuff kept crashing, and the internet didn't work completely. So, I downloaded 10.1 again, and installed it. It rebooted to the teamwin thing, and then rebooted again. A few minutes after, I was curious as to why it was still loading. Waited a long time, and it still was on the CM boot logo thing. Im using the Nexus 7 toolkit (its called something else, but im not sure what. The icon is a red toolbox with 3 tools in it), and can't reboot into recovery or flash stock back on it. How can I get it out of bootloop? I really need help! D:
Press all the three buttons , power , volume up and volume down together and boot into bootloader. From boot loader use volume buttons to go onto recovery , do a clean wipe there and reflash a ROM. Another alternative is to use adb and type
Code:
adb reboot recovery
then wipe clean and reflash ROM.

Hi Red Devil,
I just tried to install CM 10.1.3 on my Motorola Atrix HD.
I forgot to wipe data and cache before installing the ROM, and now it is stuck in the boot animation.
When I press the power and volume keys down together, it takes my phone to a black screen, and when I press them again on the black screen it gives me a brief menu that says
"Normal power up"
"Recovery"
"AP Fastboot"
"Factory"
and another one I can't recall.
This screen times out in about 3 seconds. and regardless of which item from the menu I select, it still shows my boot logo, then the CM animation. I cant boot into fastboot or recovery, and I can't find anything good online to help me.
Help! What do I do?

Stuck at WARNING Bootloader Unlocked after wiping and reseting. Please help!!

So I've wiped the Dalvik Cache, Data, Internal Storage, and System, but I forgot to flash before rebooting. Now it's stuck in the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED screen and everytime I tried resetting to recovery mode it would turn off then turn back on at the same screen. ADB is not detecting the devices also. Is there anything I can do or is it bricked?

Boot into bootloader by holding down vol down and power together. The timing can be a little tricky when it is stuck or looping. Hold power until the screen goes dark and it tries to reboot, usually about 8 seconds. Then let go and immediately hit vol down + power together. Hold them until the bootloader screen comes up, should be pretty fast. Might take a few tries to get the technique down with it bootlooping.
From there you can flash firmware directly with fastboot, or boot it into TWRP to flash something from recovery. If TWRP fails to boot for some reason then fastboot flash it again.
It should not be a brick just from wiping everything. Well, just a soft brick anyway.
Thanks!
I was able to get into recovery!!

How can I access Recovery Mode on LG V20?

How can I access Recovery Mode on LG V20? I want to wipe system cache partition due to problems with Wi-Fi and Tethering. The only option I have is factory reset. (Volume Down+Power)
Plug in USB cord to laptop.
Turn off phone.
Hold volume down button.
Plug in USB cord to phone.
After you see a flash of blue download mode, release volume button and phone will boot to recovery.
Do your thing.
Side note, Install the correct V20 variant twrp img to recovery so u don't have to do this enter recovery method anymore, you can enter recovery from the twrp app menu.
I tried the method and led me to fastboot, no option to wipe system cache partition from here. I'm missing something? It's another way to solve connectivity problems?
Thanks!

Do you have twrp recovery flashed?
Turn off phone
press volume down and power together until the lg logo displays
release and press the power button
click on yes to reset
and it should land you in recovery if you have twrp installed
otherwise use lgup to flash the kdz to our phone and restart everything.
