[Q] motorola defy does not start

Hi ..
I had updated defy to the latest cnmod nighty version. ( 110410 ). Eveerything was working fine. i played with the phone for the entire day. video acceleration was awesome and played gt racing.
Suddenly there was problem with wifi connection. I decided to restart the phone. Choose the reboot menu . and now the phone is stuck with the moto logo on startup. Nothing happens after that.
When the bluelight blinks after the android menu , when I press the down button , I get android bootmenu v1.0.5 (By cynongen defy team and galaxy) ,
i was not able to do anything from here. It has these menus :
1)Boot : boot is set to 2nd init
2)cpu settings
3)recovery : in the recovery menu , If i choose latest recovery or stable recovery , I get error in /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh (Result: no such file or directory) , and when I choose stock recovery , the phone restarts and is stuck with an exclamation mark )
4)tools: I could understand what to do here.
When nothing did work , I pressed both up and down button after changing boot to normal. there i cleared some cache or something , cleared everything that I could.
After all this my phone is in the same place. A moto logo on startup.
Please can someone help me . This is my first android phone and also the first costly phone I bought and I did something nasty on the first day itself.
i am a normal end user who knows nothing more than gui.
thanks in anticipation

hey
flash a stock 2.2.2 with RDS from bootloader
you gonna need latest defy drivers for windows plus a stable froyo i guess
google this "how to unblick a bricked defy"
let us know what you do and what changes

are you sure this is a case of bricked defy. I had read in many places it is very difficult to brick defy.

its not bricked
but that is what you need to search for to get the solution
i did so too

What "Natsikap" said.
Clear Data/Cache.
Flash Official Froyo 2.2.2 using RSDLite, Use your region correct Froyo (If you are from India use SEA15 Stock ROM -Get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy). Everything will be Stock normal. Read everything in the wiki before you flash anything, esp read the "How to get back to Normal in case things go awry" part you will save yourself the High BP!

thanks all for your support.
i have installed the orginal manufactuer android froyo
and flashed it later with cynogenmod 7.1 for defy. The latest stable one that was released yesterday
One more question:
Should I unroot this cynogenmod .. so that I don't mess something.

congratulations
you sorta came from behind and am sorta left behind
question: does the 7.1 have any wifi issues? working properly?
tell me so i can make the jump too
thanks bro

sorry for the late reply..
no it does not have any issues.. at least i could'nt find any.
wifi was working like a charm. used it for around 2 hours ..
Couple of questions..
1) i don't lke the menus flying into the screen. How can i change this animation to the normal fade animation that came with original os.
2)should i unroot my cynogenmod should that i don't cripple it while playing with settings or someother way.

Do not unroot CM7. Make site you make a backup in recovery, that way if you mess something up you can just restore it. As for animations, go to settings> cyanogen settings> display, you should be able to change the animations. If not try spare parts app.
Swyped from my MIUI Defy

i have defy plus.....i havnt rooted it ...its working on original 2.3.6
my phone is starting but power button not working.....when i put it on charing lock screen comes to life but touch not working..

please help

[Q] Issues with Bluetooth and WiFi

So here's my story of what's going on and hopefully a solution can come out of it.
Got my phone used it for a bit. I used the root and debloat found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282367 and everything went fine. Waited a day or so and decided to flash LiquidSmooth ROM with KToonzes 7.2.13 . Again everything working fine. I then flashed 7.7.13 Ktoonzes and lost bluetooth functionality as far as the phone is concerned but the music portion is fine. My brother convinced me that the Google Edition ROM is where its at and I was having that bluetooth issue so why not. I flashed the AOSP Ktoonzes instead of the TW so my phone bricked. I did the ODIN back to stock with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261573&highlight=odin . When that went through and my phone was doing its set up, my wifi wasn't turning on. I continued by using the root and debloat again to reinstall the recovery. I recovered my phone to right before I flashed the Google Edition, and my bluetooth is not even finding my car in pairing mode at all at this point.
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any recommendations to fix this issue.

[Q] Flashed S4 - No Mobile Data suddently?

Hi
Ill try to be as detailed as possible
I was running XXUGNJ8 rooted on my GT-I9505 with no problems (latest in my region (NEE)), and i decided to try Google Play edition 5.0.1. rom ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 )
To do this i flashed CWM 6,0,44 (if i remember correctly), installed the rom zip file via CWM. I selected Googy_Anas Kernel.
The problem now is, i cannot use my mobile data? Ive tried all, manually selecting APN etc.
Ive also Reflashed the XXUGNJ8 modem Both 2g/3g and 4g version TWICE in a row.
Yet i still cannot use my Mobile Data??...
I can text, receive calls etc with no problems. Also my wifi works fine.
Btw:
2 Other problems, if any1 know how to fix
1. When i tried calling using headset, the call kept ending itself randomly, and the media volume turned up to like 8 from 1. (ouch.)
2. The Volume seems to be louder??? When i lisent to music at volume lvl 1 it sounds more like 3-4 when i was running Kitkat 4.4.2 (XXUGNJ8).

SOLVED!!!:
I still have the 2 Volume problems, but i fixed my network!
I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/help/cyanogenmod-11-roaming-problem-t3070696
The second post by Kanzari fixed my problem. - The weird thing is that my carrier specifies NOTHING about MVNO type settings, and i mean nothing. Anyway, have a look if u have the same problem.
Still looking for solution to the volume problem, so if any1 knows id appreciate it

G4 Plus XT1642 always crashing on first boot @ "checking connection" screen

So i just got a new moto g4 plus XT1642 (UK amazon version) and so of course the first thing i had to do was install a custom rom, so i followed a guide here to unlock it and install TWRP which went fine until i flashed a new firmware, I dont know if i somehow installed the wrong one but now it wont go past the "checking connection" screen on setup without crashing (sometimes it doesnt even get past the welcome language screen) I have tried flashing the stock firmware but it just does the same thing no matter which one i try (XT1642_ATHENE_MPJ24.139-48_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml.zip is the right one i think?)
If anyone could help me get back to marshmellow it started with then i promise i wont mess around with it again :3
Thanks for any help you can give.
Edit: Okay so I finally just went to do the thing i started out to do which was to install the Resurrection Remix rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-0-t3507275) so I just thought that maybe if i got it installed it might fix what problems i was having and yeah sure enough i followed what i was supposed to flash first which was (Moto_G4_Plus_XT1643_ATHENE_MPJ24.139-63_Stock_Img) btw and then flashed Resurrection Remix and it just started working again, everything seems fine but I'm worried I might have broken something with all my puttering around with its inside ya know?
But the main thing is phone calls work, texts work, it rooted itself magically, can install unsigned apks and such, wifi works and so does the fingerprint sensor which i heard people were having issues with. So should i just not look for problems and enjoy it maybe? I'm glad i got it sorted im some fashion at least

So I HAVE now noticed that some apps seem to hang/crash sometimes, epecially games, not sure if it has to do with my puttering around though Is there anything I can do to check that everything is working ok? any programs that scan for errors or something?
Happy its working don't get me wrong but no issues would be best ^^

I've got your same model and I use this to get back to stock: XT1621-XT1622-XT1642_ATHENE_MPJ24.139-23.4_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
If you're running rr and everything works you don't need to do anything just stick with it.

Hey, thanks for the input, I did use that when i was having issues but it still caused that crashing at the connection screen issue sso i dont know why it would work for you and not me, perhaps i needed to get it to a working state before i could downgrade again? I dont really want to try it out now and see, the crashing issue seems to be infrequent so its possible its a different issue (software conflicts or ram overusage maybe?). I'll keep using it and see what issues develop

I ruined my phone.

I recently got my hands on a moto g5 plus(Indian Variant). The first thing I did was use a toolkit that I saw on some YouTube video to unlock my bootloader. I successfully unlocked my bootloader and flashed Twrp but was not able to turn on my phone ie was stuck in bootloop. I thought as I had twrp working I should just flash a ROM . I successfully installed an android pie ROM. Later while using the ROM I started facing problems. Problems like scrolling was very fast on instagram or chrome. Also while playing Pubg mobile the screen would just rotate and sometimes the joystick would get stuck,etc.
I changed 3-4 ROMs and now I am on Arrow OS android 10 and still facing the scrolling very fast issue.Also if I reset my phone ie wiping data the scrolling issue is fixed for sometime then later it becomes very fast. Plz help me out here guys.

Flash stock firmware and start from scratch.
And just a hint: Don't use toolkits.
