[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] your_login:
hey, if you are stuck in an android logo, it means its the infinite boot-loop thing..

PLEASE make sure you are CORRECTLY trying to get into stock recovery or bootloader.

Here is what to do to get into recovery first:

1- turn off your phone (take the battery out and then put it back in)

2- press and OLD the volume DOWN button + power button

3- Motorola logo appears first, then after a few seconds an 'android ROBOT logo' appears

4- press volume UP and DOWN buttons at once, quickly :)

5- from the menu choose 'factory reset/wipe-format data'

6- then do 'wipe cache'

7- then do a reboot

see if it helps and you are able to start the phone normally :)

P.S. don't worry - a bootloop is a considerably easy thing to fix, at least i managed to fix mine yesterday:).

good luck

Hey Guys.

I've run into the same problem with the boot loop. I've tried the above method of doing a data reset and wiping the cache but this is not working for me. Any other ideas?

PLEASE HELP!

Defy mb525 stuck in bootloop!

I tried to upgrade my Motorola defy to icecream os and don't know what os to installed .. i downloaded CM9 and after rooting and installing recovery mode following all that step .. i end up in bootloop :( Got stuck with a white M logo .. then i later flashed it with this SBF file JORDN_U3_97.21.51.rar/[/url] via RSD lite .. it did booted and it was running some 2.1 ver os. so now whenever i tried to upgrade that damn phone, i ended up in bootloop i have done this multiple time with different OS >> CM9 CM10 CM7 .. no luck :(

To open links remove the spaces ..

Procedure:

1. Stuck in bootloop >> so i flashed it with above mentioned sbf file .. [Note: i tried flashing with different official sbf files from here [umts_jordan/list.php[/url] .... and i got stuck in black screen on boot no lights at all (bricked)]

2. After flashing .. i rooted it with superoneclick 2.3.3 and installed 'superuser' and 2ndinit 2.0 and in that i downloaded 0.6 stable ver (recovery mode installed) blue light appear

3. Reboot my phone and entered into recovery mode > wipe data/ factory reset > wipe cache > wipe delvik cache

4. select install zip from sd card > then i selected some stable os like cm 7.1 jordan or Nightly 20120812 ... > flashed it

5. installed gapps jb for jb rom similarly ics for ics rom

6. then Go back select Reboot system

7. bam got stuck in bootloop at "Motorola" logo :(

Please tell me what i'm doing wrong ??? which os to install ? which sbf to flash ? please help me ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibihub:
Hi ! Are you sure you took the good rom for your defy ? Is it a regular defy or a + ? Because you need to have the good rom for the good defy version ( at least for gb rom). Then before installing the rom with the recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cahe (in advanced) and even data if you come from 2.x to 4.x. (same thing from 4.x to 2.x).

It would work ;)

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

Thanks for this method even if I knew it. The first time I tried to flash a sbf it was awefull because nobody says it clearly. Wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery doesn't work at all I experimented it again yesterday.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gultan:
Please specify me the good GBROM!

Thanks for the reply ... its a regular Motorola defy' and all the roms i took it from xda developers :/ .. if possible can u give me a good rom to flash? (link mayb) I always do the sequence process .. wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and then i install the zip file. but after every upgrade and reboot system .. my phone end up at bootloop :/

Note: when i stuck in bootloop .. i go to "robot logo ! with the help given in this forum and then i press the back button on the screen so it enters into s recovery mode > but when i select wipe data/factory reset .. > my phone restarts and bootloop :(
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bibihub:
Hi here the one I use : http://www.partage-facile.com/V96TH...nfryortcee_p016_a016_hwp3_service1ff.sbf.html

PS : It's in French but just go on "telechargement gratuit (VITESSE NORMALE)" and then on "télécharger ce fichier"

Follow the steps given by your_login and you should end with a froyo ROM. After it's as usual to install a custom ROM (root , 2nd init, wipes...)

Also when you are in bootloop remove the battery and restart the phone. When there is the blue led with the M logo press volume down and then go into recovery > stable recovery. I think it's better than your method
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gultan:
My phone is bricked after flashing!

Appreciate ur help buddy.. :) but .. after i flashed with that given sbf file .. my phone is like dead .. it doesn't open nor any light pops up except when i connect to pc .. and i can able to detect in RSD lite for flashing .. after flashing it shows the status as PASS ... but i can't boot my phone after that. Can anyone please provide me better SBF file? m tired of flashing with different sbf files :(

Note: it does happen with other official sbf files as well.

AW: Help Moto Defy infinite boot loop

I hope I never have to flash an SBF, my up volume button doesn't work at all due to some form of physical damage stopping from me being able to use it XD
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dewal:
I wish I could say this procedure helps in my case...

I have flash many sbf files. Only in one or two cases there was a positive results from flashing.

Finally I saw motorola logo on my defy, but it stuck on it (bootloop infinity).

When I press power + volume up I get to bootloader 9.10, but when I tried press power and volume down for a short moment I can see motorola logo and after that again I get bootloader, but with a Errror (Err:A5:70:00:00:2F).

I can't find the solution of this error i can't get to stock recovery.

I have red lens defy and I flashed DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR

Please help :/ :/ :/

THAAANKS! Motorola resurrected!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robyee64:
no way..

after step n. 2 appears Motorola red logo but after doesn't appears any 'android ROBOT logo' ..

:crying: its a bunch of days in trouble whit this problem
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt12345:
I sold my defy many days ago.

so you're stuck with red MOTO logo?

are you sure the volume keys are working fine?

try this way:

1. power on the phone

2. when you see moto logo start pressing volume down rapidly.

3. when you get to the next screen press volume down + volume up (together)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robyee64:
Ive disassembled again the Defy, the volume buttons seam ok but how may i know for sure ? Anyway the smarphone still stock on Red logo.. What can i try?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt12345:
does the battery charge when you connect the charger (phone off) ?

I would try to flash stock rom (using RSDLite on windows PC)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robyee64:
as explained in my post: http://xdaforums.com/android/help/defy-plus-mb-526-bricked-boot-loop-t3053761

" I had to use the method "MacGyver" to keep charging the battery as it was unloaded, cutting a USB cable and connecting it to the + and - battery .."

if i connect the battery-charger cable the phone start booting just stopping at the red motorola logo still... some time the display makes a little 'flash' but still the fixed red logo

but there's not any led on to indicate the battery charging..
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt12345:
I think I had the same situation in past, red logo, mcgyver, flashing over and over again, but eventually it worked.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robyee64:
So do you think that is just matter of find the correct sbf file? Or should I try some other way if there is?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mt12345:
I always used the same sbf file (android2.3,united kingdom,unbranded).

well, maybe try different sbf? (I had mb525 model).

I remember when I wanted to go back from JB4.1, I did format or wipe /system /data and /cache (CWM) then flashing in rdslite went smoothly, I didn't have to restart phone manually and it booted OK.

some time later I installed JB again and this time I flashed stock sbf without wiping and then I had to reset phone manually and got stuck with moto logo, but as I mentioned earlier, I didn't give up and after 10 or 20 times it worked, I don't remember doing anything special.

Your case is strange, you should be able to enter stock recovery.

I'm sure I have a Sandy Bridge Machine. i5, dual core @ 2.67 ghz without the turbo boosting. With Turbo Boost it is 2.97 ghz.

This is the Intel HD Graphics 3000 with 1.7 GB of memory (I think, if the screenshot I showed is accurate)

If I read correctly, the benchmark uses the same engine as Cinema 4D and uses it in real time. Should be good to use. I'll post my results later.

I also found this out Dell's Website

1024MB ATI Mobility RadeonTM HD5650

Integrated Intel® HD

On the driver CD there was a Driver for the ATI Mobility Radeon GPU but it doesn't show in dxdiag. I was wondering why I had 1.7 GB of memory for my GPU

http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-15r/pd
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Because it robs all of your free RAM.
[Off-topic] bunu:
Explain please
[Off-topic] sakai4eva:
Certain mobility solutions has the ability to utilize your physical RAM as graphics RAM when they are not in use. Not much faster, and the resolution on your monitor limits the ability to actually utilize such an amount of RAM. I reckon that for up to 720p resolutions, about 1GB is more than enough. The rest actually relies on your GPU instead.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnForte:
Hey guys,

i have a problem, well 2 problems with my Desire.

First thing i had was permanently rebooting after installing InsertCoin Sense 2.1.

I tried everything that came to my mind (redownloaded, wiped multiple times, repartitioned SD card, different recoveries, and so on) problem was still there. It booted until the lockscreen appears, and after some seconds rebooted again.

Then i switched back to Oxygen, which i was using before.

Everything went well, but then Camera doesn't work. Just starts a black screen, and nothing happens after that.

i have to reboot the device after camera fail, because it drains my battery even after stopping service, i don't know why.

I wiped, reflashed, but still the same problem. I also changed to CM7 to test it, but same problem there :(

tried some radios, and different kernels...nothing works.

Here some information : HTC Desire amoled, s-off, radio 32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17

I hope someone can help me.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] rapharias:
Some people get bugs on their ROMs while using both mods.

I've used them on different ROMs and I can tell you that it may occur, and may not. If so, try to reflash it. Bugs are most likely to be FCs.

Currently I am using ungaze's data2ext, but I'm thinking of changing to DT's d2sd and test its performance too.

I just want to tell you that such kind of mods are great, because you can install many more apps on your p500. Just try it for yourself and see which one is best for you.

So I've got my dock and transformer, and its been a couple days.

I found yesterday that the dock didn't really last as long as I thought it would. It seemed halfway through the day the dock stopped charging the transformer, even though both were fully charged the night before. Half the time the dock was used with the transformer, and the other half it sat on the side while I read ebooks or whatever.

When I wasnt using it, I didnt have the flip-part that the transformer sits into pushed down into a "closed" position, if you get my meaning. It was sitting up, as if open, but not docked.

Do you think the battery was discharging while its open?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] vizcat:
you're on to something...

The same thing just happened to me. I fully charged my dock last night, then unplugged and left it with the hinge in the open position. I came back today, locked in the tablet and went out to run errands. i'm looking at my battery life percentages drop and the light indicator on the side of the dock is blinking red. unless the dock was discharging while the hinge was left on docking position...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] silenceforus:
Well Ive been leaving my dock closed today, and it seems to be holding the charge. So I think Im right.

This is a quote from anandtech.

http://www.anandtech.com/print/4277
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] flacoff:
I had the transformer powered off the whole day with the dock attached. I came back from work to find the dock battery light blinking orange signalling low battery. I'll have to do more tests,but it seems the dock was discharging even when the tablet was powered down.

This will be very annoying if you can't leave it docked.

Also wish there was a battery meter to show the actual battery %. I will not be happy running the battery downto less than 10% before the light comes on
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] madsquabbles:
i had an external hd attached to m dock. after unmounting the drive and removing the tf, the dock was still feeding power to the hd.

on a previous test, my phone would not charge via the dock while the tf was not connected. i didn't see if it continued the charge after removing the tf at that time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] FrayAdjacent:
What he said. I doubt it has anything to do with the position of the hinge. The dock has active electronics in it that - for lack of a more detailed description - does something when the TF is connected, and apparently has an active 'standby' mode, which unfortunately consumes some power from it's battery.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] DroidxRage:
just FYI

Dock update is in testing to a few users on here. Should resolve disconnect issues, and add battery gauge for the dock as well.

Hopefully this addresses the power discharging issue as well. Haven't heard anyone comment on it yet however.
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
I'm not sure if you know this or not, but tablets and Honeycomb are pretty new.
[Acer Iconia A500] michaelh99:
Yeah, I'm aware. How does that apply to my questions & issues with the A500?
[Acer Iconia A500] rorytmeadows:
Well, I think your thread is misleading. Tablets are new and there are going to be flaws in new products. That's why you don't buy the first new model of a car. But if you're going to, then understand there is always risk.

1. I have had no problems with the GPS.

2. I have had problems with the compass, but nothing unusual for a digital compass.

3. Unresponsiveness happens with pretty much every device. Mine has been unresponsive like 5 times already, but a power down and then up again fixes it beautifully. It's like a nice reminder to clear the system and make it run faster. This doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Acer. It could be Honeycomb.

4. Apps crashing. Happens. I'd think that it's Honeycomb, rather than Acer.

5. I've seen the headset icon on when I didn't have any headphones in. Oh no! Stop the presses! This occurs, sure, but that could be Honeycomb, not Acer. Also, are we sure it's not the music icon?

6. Bluetooth profiles are limited. Sure. But maybe that's a reminder to us all that Bluetooth is awful technology. This one is probably Acer.

7. Copy and paste, although annoying, isn't Acer.

8. Right now, it's not proper to open the bootloader for everyone. Don't hold that against any company.

Most of the things you mentioned really might have to do with Honeycomb rather than Acer. So don't trash the wrong company.

Now given that it's Honeycomb instead, it's new. It will have bugs and problems. Sit and wait or learn the trade and get in there and fix it.

Or wait until a future generation product.

Problems I've got with the Acer A500:

Digitizer unresponsive 3 times, had to power off each time. Strangely enough, the last time this happened the buttons at the bottom (home, menu, etc) still worked but nothing responded when tapped on the main screen area.

NEVER OCCUR for me

Have to be careful about plugging and unplugging items while the device screen is off. The headset icon is still showing in the tray after having disconnected a cable last night when the screen was off. Have seen problems where external USB devices aren't scanned if the screen is off.

NEVER OCCUR for me

System shut down 1 time after showing a low power notice. I was at 80%. Haven't had this happen again.

NEVER OCCUR for me

Market, Maps, Firefox crash a lot. The latter is probably Mozilla's fault but the core apps shouldn't be this crash-happy.

Just restore to factory default or clear the data in "manage application" can solve the problem

Can't turn the d**n sound off on the camera.

Root the device and remove the sound using root explorer

Have to drill down into the settings turn the "ringer" off to mute the system. Why isn't there a dropdown icon for that?

when you press vol +/-, there is a small icon on the right and you can adjust 3 volume settings
