[Defy General] Dabb:
[2. Debricking your Defy]

Luckily for the locked Bootloader, you're very unlikely to brick your Defy 100%. Here are the main problems I encountered:

[2.0] Stuck on static red Motorola Cyanogen mod logo with wasp

If you are constantly stuck on this logo (i.e. even if you take out your battery and put it back in and turn it on, it displays this), it means that Cyanogen is not loading with your flashed sbf file.

To fix this, you would need to take out the battery to turn off the phone. Put it back in, and hold Volume up button along with the power button to get into Bootloader. Here you need to use RSD Lite to flash a new sbf file by following step [1.1].

If you enter Bootloader and RSD Lite doesn't recognise it, then see if it displays "Battery Low. Cannot Program". If this is the case, follow [2.2]

[2.1] Stuck on animated blue Cyanogen logo

If you are stuck on the Cyanogen logo, it means there's something wrong with your Cyanogen install/files. This can happen when your install is working with your sbf file but the Cyanogen install is corrupt.

This is the easiest of fixes and you can easily enter the recovery menu whilst pressing the Volume down button when the blue LED flashes when you turn your phone on with the red wasp logo.

You can then either restore from a previous backup of Cyanogen, or you can put the zipped Cyanogen file on your MicroSD card and install from there.

[2.2] White LED when plugged into PC and no response otherwise

In this situation, your phone is failing to enter any recovery modes correctly and it cannot charge properly either as the battery is not recognised properly. You cannot load the bootloader correctly for RSD Lite to recognise your phone as the battery is not detected.

The only way to fix this is via the MacGyver method which involves cutting up any USB cable and using it to power your phone. To do this, cut the non-USB connector part of the cable off and strip the outside and specifically get the black and red cables and strip a bit off them and ignore the white and green ones. Take out the battery of your Defy and using some tape, stick down the black on + and red on - (according to the Motorola battery), making sure the wire touches the connectors.

[Note: Personally I make sure the wires are on the outside of the connectors so I will either lose the connection only or get a better contact. If your wires are in between pins, you may end up shorting the phone if the wire touches the wrong contact.]

Once you've done this, hold down the Volume down button and power and you should get into bootloader fine without any "Battery low" errors. You can then follow step [1.1] to flash a working sbf file.

Hope this helps!

Battery charged or MacGyver method to fix white Led when USB?

Hi, I read all this excelent post:

My problem is related to topic 2.2.

But I have two cellphones, so I can recharge batteries. But one of my Defy+ don't turn on, don't show nothing, just white led when plugged on USB.

I can flash it through RSD Lite normally, but when reset nothing changes.

When I'm flashing the phone shows a message "SW is being updated". I'm not sure if this message is manipulated by the phone or by the RSD Lite. I tried a lot of sbf retail files. When finishes RSD reboots and shows "PASS".

Do you think I need to do the MacGyver method? Even if I have two batteries charged by another phone?

Battery fully charged is not the same that MacGyver method?
[Defy General] noobsaisboot:
Cables position is correct?

Thanks but, are u sure that i ve to connect correctly like u r showing at these pictures? You say: "Black on positive (+) and Red on negative (-)" But i checked out the Defy.s battery poles and I think Red is positive and Black is negative. Please tell me if im wrong?. Thanks a lot again and excuse me my english is not so good.:confused:

All link are outdated and i finally find files on google but my phone still simlocked

Hello there, actually i did follow all the tutorial but, had to lookup on google to find the files that is no more valid ( lnx multiupload ) on this thread most of the link are dead or redirecting to a setup.exe from ilivid which was a complete waste of time trying to make this work + i heard of it was just a trojan or something like that...

Would the author of this thread, could re-upload the files that we need to complete with success the soft unlock motorola defy or? Because its asking me the sim lock code and as i told you before, i had to look up on the web to download all separate files and it might be the problem causing me the sim lock code prompt....

Thank you very much and hit me up ASAP if possible reply here or PM me because i got something like 25 motorola defy to unlock !!!

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
i would dl this to sdcard and flash a couple times thru recovery before flashing rom. wipe dalvik and battery/rotation settings too

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/Extreme-wipe.zip

not wiping system can cause issues

assume you met ALL other rom requirements

also i don't reformat sdcard while in phone--use sdformatter

the first thing i do when i get stuck is pull battery and reboot--not sure if you tried that
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajuto:
thanks..i will try that...does it matter well i was trying to flash nand version may be that caused problem..one more help can u pls guide me to how to do 1gb ext4 partiton..or sugget me some stable sense version for nexus i can flash easily
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
if you are new as indicated by one week ownership, i would start out with cm7 stable roms from android development section

use the system wipe zip i provided

sounds like your card is already partitioned

best thing to do is read up in wiki and as much of rom thread you are going to flash, the op page has good info and i usually read last few dozen pages

if you flashed nand version, assume you flashed blackrose hboot and repartitioned

hboot to recommended sizes per op page link, if you did you will have to go back to stock hboot to flash cm7 or try sd version of rev rom

i had surgery and not feeling well tonite, let someone else come along to add to my posts

ken
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
feeling a bit better, here is quick answer

backup sdcard

i use sdformatter to format outside phone--full erase and size adj on

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/SDFormatter 2.0.mht

this ensures card is fully formatted--phone just does quicky

then put card back in phone and use amon ra to repartition card to 1gb ext 4 0 swap

seems you did those steps already

then copy sdcard data back to phone

I have a question on restoring a stock rom with clockwork...

Im going to do a backup of my current stock rom (in case i want to go back from CM7 to what i have now, which is stock...havent even rooted yet)

My problem is that, while searching the forum, i came across this post, which scared me a bit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=838484

So, my question is, if i do a backup of my current situation, and then when i go back i just restore the said backup, do i have any chances of having the problem mentioned in the thread i posted above??

Thanks all in advance!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
What you're talking about is making and/or restoring a nandroid backup of your current system, what that thread is talking about is something entirely different. There's no problem restoring your stock nandroid, I've had to in the past when I've needed to pull some apps out of it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldsun15:
thanks!!!

one more question though, just to have things clear... if i were to go back to the way i am now, and unroot and everything... i would have no problem in restoring the backup and then just unrooting?? simple as that?

thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
It would be slightly different. Firstly I can't imagine you needing to go back to stock unless for warranty cause there are stock rooted Roms available, but there are also instructions for unrooting around here somewhere :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldsun15:
hey, first things first, thanks for the answer

secondly, i do understand the procedure to be different, what i meant was, if i restore my own nandroid stock backup (the one i created myslef), once restored, i'll still be rooted, right? (with s-off and stuff)

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
Well considering you could only actually make the Nandroid backup with a rooted rom, yes it still will be when restored :) it took me awhile to get used to this too, when you do a restore, save for your SD, your phone will LITERALLY be EXACTLY the same as when you did the backup (also save for any corruption that could occur, but if it's an important backup then put it on your computer :) )
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldsun15:
Thanks a lot!! really cleared stuff up!!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldsun15:
Sorry, i just have another question (total noob here, hehehe), is root the same as getting s-off? or are they completely different things?

Cause, if i just root (keeping s-on (if its even possible)) and do a nandroid backup, and then i do the s-off... when i restore, id have root, but s-on, right?? and wouldnt that be just the same problem as the one stated in the thread i posted in the first post??

sorry again, i know im probably making a big mess out of something relatively simple...

thanks in advance
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
No no, it's natural to be worried :p the problem that what you posted talks about its trying to install the official OTA rom while s-off which you won't be doing anyways :) and while s-off isn't the same as rooting I believe you need s-off to root.. I'll do a bit of research in the morning but in the mean time take a look an see what you can learn on your own :)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
The most likely cause for this problem is an incorrect system date and time. If the battery drains out, the onboard clock gets reset to Jan 1 2009 GMT and then you'll have this issue until the correct time is fetched from the network.

The next time this happens, just check and correct the system date and time.

Hello,

I recently flashed MarcusantROM V3, MTD version, and it works amazing. Best speed/battery life I've ever had on my phone.

The only thing that seems amiss is that in settings, under sound > voice call ringtone, my options are only: "silent" and "digital phone".

Is there a fix for this? Any way to change my ringtone to something else?

For ref, I also flashed Gitusum EI22 ICS theme. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it...

Thanks,

It's pretty easy to add your own ringtones....I'll post the link to directions when I get to a PC . You basically put them in the media folder on your sd card and ringtones are free all over the net.

Edit: make a folder on your

sd card and name it ringtones and add any ringtone you want..can also put a ringtone folder in media folder...works either way sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikon120:
Here is a reply I made to the same question, but for Legendary ROM. Same premise though. I'd recommend doing this method.

FYI: the attached .zip file in the linked reply is

not

a CWM flashable file.

Alternative method

:

If you don't want to mess with your /system folder, then you can just put all ringtones on your SD card. (See screenshot as example)

1. Create folder on root of your SD card labeled: media

2. Create sub folders for each of the following: alarms, audio, notifications & ringtones

3. Place your files in their respective folders.

Just be aware if you go this route that when your phone/SD card is mounted to a PC, you will get a very obnoxious ringer.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paragon_X:
Title says it all. I'd like to have my phone boot every time and require a pattern, pin, whatever but some type of minimal protection on every boot. I saw in security (ICS 4.0.3) there is encryption with that feature, but I don't know the advantages or disadvantages to encrypting my whole phone. Does anyone have some insights on that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozone89:
Encrypted means all the data stored into the phone is encrypted, so that no one could read it when the phone is shut down. Once you enter the right code, the content become visible and int get decrypted as you read them.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paragon_X:
Right I understand that. To be clear I was just weighing the benefits of it? I figured there might be some draw backs but I guess I'll go ahead and do it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
A pass code to unlock the phone should be active on startup. Encryption right now is probably more trouble than its worth.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paragon_X:
I corrected my error and now I have lockscreen. But yah after researching the encryption you are right. Seems like it's much more trouble than it's worth. Thanks again!

[HTC Amaze 4G] HarryHyper:
Hey guys! I'm excited to be here and I hope I get some good advice. (Who am I kidding? I KNOW I will!:p)

Anyway, I recently bought my HTC Amaze 4g for T-Mobile and I think I am in love. But I soon realized that I was getting about 2 hours of moderately heavy battery usage before it was giving me battery warnings. So I rooted, and installed Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 and my battery life has been much better. But, being the impatient newbie I am, I installed it before I read that it was a bit out of date. Basically, what I want is a ROM that is up-to-date, highly supported, has great battery life, is very fast, doesn't have a

sh:eek:t load of bloatware, and is extremely stable. Hopefully this isn't asking to much from the developers here at XDA.:rolleyes: So, any of you had this sort of experience with a ROM?

Thanks guys!
[HTC Amaze 4G] fuego77:
i say go with xboarders bulletproof rom, he will be updating it probably today, i was so impatient i just flashed w/e he has up now, and its amazing!, as for as battery life goes, i cant say anything as of yet. Only had the rom running for a few hours.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HarryHyper:
+1 thanks for the quick reply! I will look at bulletproof. Maybe you could get back to me when you know about battery?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
My opinion is one of xboarders since they are based on the most recent firmware and are pretty stable.

If you want Sense use Bulletproof.

It has CRT animation and a fixed advanced power menu.

If you want AOSP-like (still technically Sense... just some HTC stuff removed like Rosie) use BeastMod.

Also with CRT and advanced power menu (i believe).

As far as I know he is the only developer that actually owns the device and is good at maintaining the support in his forums. It's difficult to support and keep up to date with a device that you don't own. That's probably why Android Revolution HD 1.1.0 is out of date.

That's just my opinion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] HarryHyper:
Thanks for the fast responses guys! You rock! I really am tempted to go download Bulletproof now! I might...
[HTC Amaze 4G] HarryHyper:
But is it really going to be updated today? I don't want to wait... :(

Lol I didn't want to wait either, but I was so tempted. I had to flash it. Totally worth it, I had wifi bug, instead of posting around like a noob I read and saw I had to flash boot that was provided with the rom, I say go for it. Its really stable and INSANELY SMOOTHLY
[HTC Amaze 4G] HarryHyper:
K gunna do it! Thanks guys! Wait, is it better than QuickSense?
