Defy maybe brcked - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had a bug with the kitkat rom (dunno what realease it was), i couldn't wipe cache/Dalvik nor flash anything hence i decided to flash the sbf, root and install the recovery. Here comes the problems the system will be stuck on a bootloop i flashed various sbf (also the Jb one in general thread) but i had the same behavior.
The phone is detected by the pc and i can install successfully the rom but i an't boot it. I waited for like 15 minuted without success.
Any advice?

[Q] Stuck in Bootloop (ROM: PA)

Trying to install a Custom ROM for the first time on Nexus 7 (3G).
I've been using the WF Nexus Toolkit.
I've rooted, unlocked and flashed ParanoidAndroid but I'm only getting a bootscreen loop. I waited 15 min before rebooting the device and attempted to boot into PA again. Still not getting past the Bootscreen.
I booted into recovery; did a full wipe then flashed the PA ROM again... Still not getting past the Bootscreen (waited 30 min before powering off the device)
I've tried to obtain help via IRC before posting here; as well as reading through other post directly related to the problem (even a few that were slightly indirect) but nothing I find is helping... so I've turned to you guys!
I would very much like to get this ROM working, so if there is anyone that can help I would greatly appreciate it.
I just don't know what to do next; I've never had this issue with any device in the past.. I've usually been able to figure the problem out and get it working. But now I'm just stuck.
What is your recovery? What steps did you do in recovery to install the rom?
Try these step may help.
1.Boot into recovery
2.Full wipe
3.Wipe Cache
4.Wipe dalvik cache
5.Flash ROM, GAPP
then reboot your N7.
...
If above method still doesn't work. make sure you have the right version of bootloader and stock image on your device for PA 3.15 or newer it should be 4.18 for bootloader and 4.2.2 for stock image (optional).
And if you've found that you have other version of bootloader than 4.18 check this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 thread for how to get it right.
...
Finally if you've done all the solutions above and still in bootloop problem just try to do a factory reset (full wipe) again after finish flashing ROM, GAPP.
That's all I can thinks of about this problem base on my personal experience facing bootloop problem few months ago.
If you are still stuck after trying the above posts. You can just try to get back to stock. Nexus Root Toolkit maybe the easiest way to do that..

[Q] Problems restoring to 4.3 stock

Hello,
I've only yesterday rooted my phone for the very first time and followed a guide on how to flash PA. In the guide it told me to flash a radio and boot loader, which apparently I wasn't supposed to flash because I was on 4.3 already. So I didn't have service, someone told me to reflash 4.3 which I did using the stock rom downloaded from android dev page. But It won't flash the system it returns an error regarding the usb port. I flashed 4.2.2 which did flash the system but is apparently stuck on the loading screen (nexus X) for about 20 mins or so. Any help on how to reflash stock 4.3 and then reflash just PA 3.99 and Gapps?
cheers

Go into recovery and do factory reset, that should get u past the nexus X... Then just flash pa and gapps your done, flashing a radio and bootloader shouldn't have hurt anything unless u flashed wrong ones, recheck your versions on the files. U should be on a radio that ends in 84 (it works on 4 2.2 so dont worry... U dont need to be on 4.3 to flash pa, just factory reset first

I wanted to do that but my sd had been wiped, but it's been solved

[Q] Tried upgrading, now can't get to the home screen, I ruined the recovery.

I have the 2ndbootin thing, the stock moto recovery, and never ending boot animation. If I wipe the cache using the moto recovery, I can get it past the boot loop and then it gets stuck in "android is upgrading". I figured I can flash a custom recovery using RSD, the problem is I don't know, and googling the problem didn't came up with useful solutions. My top priority is to get the phone working again, and that it will have the data is got now (though I did a backup of the data before starting this failed upgrade).

Man, you need to start again from stock.
Install the stock SBF using RSD, root, install 2ndinit, install CM10, install CM10.2, install the updaterecovery.zip package, reboot (don't wipe), then install CM11 and Gapps. It worked for me, it worked for other defy users, it will work for you.

I gave up and went to the RSD, downloaded what I thought was he right SBF, flashed it in RSD, and after it finished the device is BRICKED. No lights, it doesn't turn on. :crying:

The defy doesn't really brick, because the bootloader is locked.
It may be no charge in the battery...
You need to use an external charger, or McGyver method, because the defy won't charge by the usb or wall charger...
After you make it, try RSD again, and choose the right SBF, from your carrier.
Hope it helps... gogogo defy :victory:

Cant figure out how to install custom rom, without loosing root acces

Dear XDA
I have been an android user for many years and rooting has been one of the things I always did to my devices. I am an owner of a Note 3, which I have rooted succesfully and used X-NOTE 13 rom for long time. Last week I wanted to try something new and after that everything seems to be impossible. Before I install any roms I always perfom full wipe of, system, data, cache, dalvik cache etc. (I do it inside the recovery). Afterwards I tried to install CRASH ROM V9 and the progress went fine. When the phone rebooted the strange things started to happened I couldn't find the rom's extra menu and couldnt find any of the functions that the rom contained. I just thought that it was problem with the rom itself therefore I tried to went back to X-NOTE, but without any luck. The X-NOTE installed probably but I couldnt boot into it, it was stucked at the "Samsung Note 3" logo. I tried to wipe cache and dalvik but without any luck and every time I rebooted from the recovery the recovery says "it seems your device doesnt have root access" and the recovery tries to gain root access.
Then I couldnt understand anything of what was happening so I went to stock using ODIN. After installing stock rom I used CF-ROOT and everythings went smooth and I could use SuperSU inside the stock rom. Then I installed a recovery and it didn't mentioned anything about root access, so I was ready to install my custom rom...at least I thought so....I installed X-NOTE again (because I knew that this rom worked before without any problems) and after the progress was done I couldnt boot into the rom again, it was stucked. I wiped the cache and dalvik and as soon I clicked reboot in recovery it tells me that I am not rooted.
Then I did the same thing again, went back to stock, installed CF-ROOT and recovery. This time I installed CRASH ROM instead and I could boot into the system, but the rom still misses the "rooted features" etc.
In other words, what have I done wrong? I cant seem to find the problem and I think that I have tried every possible solution?
Informations:
Model: ​SM-N9005
STOCK ROM: Tried both N9005XXUENB4 (German) and N9005XXUENC2 (Nordic firmware)
Custom Rom: Tried both X-NOTE and CRASH ROM
Recoveries used: TWRP, CWM and Philz CWM
Kernels: Tried with stock one and X-NOTE kernel 1.5
I hope you can help me I cant live with stock roms
Thanks in advance

weird.
all the rom you mentioned xnote & crash come with root access inside.
When you said you used all those 3 recoveries, did you try each rom with each recovery ?
and when you flash those rom, did you follow to do a clean full wipe as mentioned on each OP thread ?
clean full wipe is not only wipe cache and dalvik, but also the data (factory reset).

Yes I have and tried several other combinations too. First time I installed X-NOTE I wiped everything and installed X-NOTE without problems.
I cant seem to break the code, I am getting frustrated hour by hour. I have double checked everything, I am on the NC2 bootloader with the NC2 kernel, when trying to install X-NOTE I get stuck at "Samsung Glaxy Note 3" - I cant understand what the problem may be and it is beginning to be personal :/ heheh
But seriously what could I have done wrong?

To be frank... I have no idea. U flash before earlier, means u know how to flash it.
What I could think of, is just the recovery.
I ve been using cwm chenglu all this time (the one reported with less bugs, and most recommended at any rom thread). And jump from rom to rom every 1 week at least with no issue.
I will try tonite use twrp to flash rom. I will let u know if I face any problem.

Finally, finally and finally solved!
Well it seems strange but the problem was the official kernel inside the stock roms that made it almost impossible to run any custom rom.
What I did to solve the problem:
1. Went back to stock rom using a rom with the newest baseband NC2, ex. N9005XXUENC2
1a. I did have som problems getting the bootloader updated, which means I was force to install it over ODIN 3.09 - use this bootloader NC2 BOOTLOADER (Thanks soloilmeglio for the bootloader)
2. I used CF-ROOT to gain root access
3. Then I installed CWM 6.0.4.8 recovery as recommended from antique_sonic (Updated few hours ago!)
4. Install the CivZ-SnapKat-Rev3.1-sm_n9005-4.4.2.zip kernel
5. Lets the phone reboot and check that everything works!
7: Boot into recovery and wipe system, data, cache, dalvik cache
8. Install the custom rom
Dont ask me why the kernel wasn't working from beginning and why it was "corrupted" after installing another custom rom - but now everything works as it should!
Thank you very much antique_sonic for helping me!

It could probably be a problem with TWRP as you mentioned earlier. After using CWM everything went smooth after updating my kernel. Last night I couldnt hold me back to try one more time, and I flashed X-NOTE with TWRP and I got the same problem as described in #1 post. Then I installed CWM and flashed X-NOTE again and everything got messed up. Then I restored everything, force installed the kernel and bootlaoder. After that installed CWM and then I was able to run X-NOTE without any problem.
I am not a professional developer but I may think that the problem is TWRP when it tries to flash the kernel under the process with may results in some problems. When using CWM from the beginning I do not get any problems but when using TWRP I need to restore everything back.

Moto x pure XT1575 What am i doing wrong?!

I bought this phone used and the person who had it before me it rooted and installed some of different ROMs on it. After getting my used moto x pure 2015 running android 6.0. I booted it up and tested all the functions (including downloading a few apps) Wi-Fi, camera, audio/charging jacks ext. Everything worked fine. So did normal factory reset (not using TWRP) just to make sure everything was clean before using it as my daily. Then, (BUM BUM BUM!) when I tried to start downloading all my apps. None of them would download even though the Wi-Fi was working. Error 492 I think.
I started trying custom ROMs because I was having two big issues (apps not downloading and incoming call not bringing up accept/decline screen) with my stock rom. and wanted to fix those issues with a fresh stock image.
This is all new to me and has not been as easy as anticipated. If anyone knows a clean factory image I could flash or a fail proof fix to error 492 that would be helpful. I really just want to return to fully working Motorola stock android, but the files I have used haven’t fixed the issue. I have searched for a factory image without finding one…
Is there a way to flash the Motorola image through TRWP?
Otherwise, maybe you can help me with my flashing method, and maybe tell me what I am doing wrong. I tried to flash multiple stock images all with the same issue. I have also tried to flash Resurrection Remix, and Brocken OS, both having resulted in a bootloop. I am starting to think I have done something wrong. The steps I have taken so far have been these:
My bootloader is unlocked status code 3.
My phone is not rooted. Do I need root?
First I downloaded adb and fastboot.
Then I flashed TWRP (3.0.2).
I never installed the official Motorola stock image because flashing it from fast boot wouldn’t work and it couldn’t be flashed with TWRP because it is a .gz not a .zip. (I knew a .gz needs to be flashed with fastboot but I knew TWRP was easer so I didn’t fuss with it)
After flashing TWRP to my phone, I downloaded (yes, I checked the md5) the various ROMs to my computer then transfered them to my phone via micro SD card.
Here are the file’s names if that matters:
moto_x_pure_edition_stock_x1575_mphs24.49-18-3_v1-odexed
(booted and Wi-Fi but play store won’t download apps)
moto_x_pure_edition_stock_x1575_mph24.49-18_v1-odexed
(booted but no Wi-Fi)
Broken-v4.9.1-clark-6.0.1-OFFICIAL-20160824 (with Broken_gapps_lp5.1.x_09172015)
(Brocken was the only non-stock that got past boot, but I still couldn’t get past set up without an error and never made it to the system.)
ResurrectionRemix-N-v5.8.0-20161220-clark (7.1 gapps failed to flash but I booted it anyway.)
(boot loop after both of my tries)
I got Wi-Fi working on one of the above stock ROMs (so I KNOW it works) but couldn’t even turn Wi-Fi on in all the others.
The method I used to flash all of the above files in TWRP was:
Wipe
Full wipe (davlik cache, data, system, cache)
(used for RR and Brocken)
Factory reset (using TWRP) (davlik cache, data , cache)
Used for the stock ROMs or even after flashing .zip file I got the error: no OS installed.
Install
Select file of ROM flash (gapps if needed) and flash
I can’t remember which ones but on some of them after flashing I again did a factory reset.
Then I rebooted
Thanks for reading. Sorry it was so long. I tried to add as much useful information as possible. Hopefully someone smarter than me will see my error(s) and help me get my phone into fully working order.

I'm having a similar issue. Tried the TruPure rom but I want to switch back to stock. If I do a full wipe, would I be able to use the files that Motorola provides on their website and flash those throught fastboot? Or through TWRP? Any chance you have a link to a guide on how to do the latter option (installing through TWRP)? I'm just trying to get my device back to 100% stock so that I can receive OTA.

Thank you for sharing that link. I think I get it but it seems too easy considering what I've tried so far. Just to make sure I get it:
I should download the odexed rom, go to twrp and wipe data, cache and dalvik then flash the odexed rom through the install function? And thats it? I've literally tried a ton of stuff so if this takes care of it, this is great!

Yes, also wipe system, make a backup before If you want, but remember, for the OTAs support you need yo flash the stock recovery via fastboot. Good luck.

This got me back to stock! You are the real MVP.
So I remember seeing a recovery.img file in the factory image that motorola posted on its site. Does it have to be a specific stock recovery or do I need a specific one to match with the file I just installed?
thanks again

I then did the power button and volume up and got into stock android recovery. Am I supposed to see the android character with ! each time I try to reach the recovery menu? Just wondering if I did this correctly.
Thanks again for pointing me to these resources!
