To help you we must know what bootloader (not ver. like 09.10) u had,(what official android version or which sbf flashed), defy red, defy green or defy+

And take care of your battery - it is not being charged when no system on board
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] one-piggy:
Sometimes your phone reboots automatically and result column will say pass. If that doesn't happen,it will ask you to reboot manaully and your phone will be stuck in MOTO logo.

- Now remove your USB cable and remove battery. Hold power button and vol + button, you will get that screen.

and Put the battery back should be done?

bricked Defy Green Lens running stock froyo

I have been ROM hopping for a while thanks to the wonderful work being done by the dev and the support being provided on XDA forums :).

I have a Defy (Green Lens) that came with stock froyo, with BL Ver 9.10 (hope that's bl6), that I rooted and have been using WIUI (BG & V4) and CM 7 & 9 alternatively since. Yesterday I decided to try JIUI V4 and ended up messing the phone while going through TWRP and now my phone is bricked. Have gone through most of the forums but couldn't find information on the SBF that'll help me restore my phone to stock frooyo (India), tough to sit & sift through forums & post while battling a high fever. Would be grateful if somebody can please help me/point me to the solution please.

Which one do I choose here, for Defy (SOC) purchased in India: sbf-droid-developers-org umts_jordan/list.php

Also is it possible to do the recovery process from Ubuntu or abny other linux distro, say without Windows & RSD ?

Thanks in advance.

Worked like a charm. Thanks to you my Defy is up n running again, Nandri Aiya :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -=DeF[Y]AnT=-:
Hi all, new to the forum and new to mobile phone geek speak! I have a Defy+ MB526, 2.3.6 that I tried updating to ICS with, and it was stuck on the loading screen with the android and the blue background. Needless to say, I downloaded a rooted ROM and re-flashed back to the Gingerbread ROM.

Phone works fine, but the issue I have is that the telephone number format is different. I'm living in Australia, and I think I may have downloaded a US, or Canadian ROM as the number formats are 123-456-7890. Is there an Australian ROM available for download so I can re-flash so all the phone numbers are in Australian format?

Thanks!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janeindiran:
I guess there is no specific version for AUSTRALIA but you try UK version but you might end up in BL7. So i guess you can use it just this it. It doesn't make any differene.

Allthough this thread is gradually taking a different direction I'd like to thank Janeindiran for his explanations on how to get life back to a bricked Defy. My Defy+ has revived from a near death experience. The retail German SBF did the trick for my (dutch) Motorola Defy+ with red lens.

Hi! I have a different case. The defy wont boot up or enter bootloader mode. When I connect it through the usb cable, rsd lite does not pick it up, only the LED indicator lights up. This happened after flashing a full sbf. It was on 2.1 stock and I was upgrading it to 2.2. Flashing went smooth, showed pass but then the phone just went dead. After that I removed the battery and connected it again, rsd picked it up, I flashed it again thinking it was just a bad flash but to no avail. Now the phone is not being recognized anymore by rsd lite. What should I do now?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janeindiran:
try entering stock recovery by pressing vol- and power together and insert your battery. after entering you will get this (!) symbol. press both volume buttons together. select wipe data/factory reset. use volume keys to move through the options and power button to select
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcube989:
Power+Vol - together while inserting the battery = no response. Maybe the battery ran out of charge? Cause after the first flash, rsd was still able to recognize it, after the second flash it wont anymore.

I tried swapping sim cards from mine to her's ,her phone became more stable but still not as good as mine. both sims cards I doctored to make them into micro sims, could that be the problem or is it a problem with the phone?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoboss:
So i need to send in my phone for repairs because my battery gets drained like crazy and i tried everything to stop it. (dozen different roms/kernels completely "naked" without ANY apps and it still drains ~10% an hour).

so anyway, my JIG worked fine all the time (got me into download mode every time), but since i need to reset the binary counter i flashed the XWKG1 firmware and the old bootloader through odin and everything works fine, except my JIG does not bring me into download mode anymore. when i plug it in, the phone just boots normally. i can get into download mode with 3 button method but it just shows me that the counter is still on 1.

any suggestions?

searching for this matter is kinda hard, because "jig not working" brings up all kinds of threads about the jig not resetting due to newer bootloader, and "jig not starting download mode" doesnt bring the desired results either.

so any help would be much appreciated.

Hello All,

I went through this from the google playstore support site:

"Galaxy Nexus devices purchased on Google Play are unlocked GSM/HSPA+ devices.

1.The unlocked Galaxy Nexus requires GSM compatible service provider for voice calling. In the United States this includes AT&T and T-Mobile. Phones purchased from devices on Google Play are not compatible with Verizon or Sprint.

2.High speed data access requires a compatible 3G/4G HSPA+ cellular data service provider such as AT&T and T-Mobile."

Will this Nexus work in India with GSM and HSPA Networks (Noob question :))?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
If you've got a GSM carrier then yes, its unlocked and supports all the frequencies you need. Its the exact same as the i9250 that's been for sale for over 5 months now. There is nothing special about the hardware.

But the Play Store isn't shipping outside of the US. Check out importers that will sell to India.

whats a good radio for India? My buddy was asking the other day. would XXLA2 work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
try them all starting with the latest ones and find the one that suites best for you.

just because one radio is good for someone doesn't mean it will have the same results for you.

i'd start off with xxla02 then uglc1, etc etc

all radios work. just dont flash CDMA radios (Verizon + sprint)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siddharthmani:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ananjay:
OTA update is the question. Even I'm thinking to buy galaxy nexus. In Indian, Sammy won't be releasing.

We got 3g carriers(Vodafone,airtel).

Even with the PC companion we should receive updates right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kaushikd:
GNex will keep on receiving updated no matter which country you are in. Only thing is that,there are multiple builds of the GNex. The one with 'yakju' and 'takju' will receive the updates directly via Google. Rest of the builds will get their updates via Samsung and hence it might takes a bit of time.

And yes,you can use 3G services in India. I'm using the same on my Gnex.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Before anybody asks, I tested the notification bug:

Initial testing indicates the notification bug is

FIXED in FD24

.

Info about notification bug from PREVIOUS releases

For people who don't know what it is, if you end a call, then immediately press "Back" or "Home", the notification sound is disabled (the notifications still show up, just the sound is disabled)

Even though there is no sound, the notification light still pulses, so it isn't a complete miss.

There is an easy workaround, both to avoid the issue, and to fix the issue if you forgot the workaround.

After pressing "End" to end a call, don't press anything else until the dialer status screen exits by itself to the secondary screen (whether that be the dialpad or call logs). This will keep your notification sound enabled.

Now if you forget and press "Back" or "Home" too early, all you need to do is make a call to any phone #, press "End" and don't press anything else. This will fix your notification sounds.

Again, the notification LED will still pulse even if your notification sound got disabled.

EDIT: Reports are that if you back out of Messaging too quickly the same disabling of Notification sound can happen.

I've been running into issues with my phone becoming ridiculously hot on the rear. I don't know if it's an app or this rom that's causing it or not.

I did notice when it gets hot like this, the phone won't charge until it cools down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Usually if your phone gets hot, either some app has gone out of control or some app is doing background downloading. Not saying this is what is happening with your phone, but I first noticed it when my phone downloaded the EL29 update in the background. It didn't really tell me it was doing it, my phone just got hot, had bad battery life, and the network was slower. Also the network ul/dl lights were constantly on, but I didn't notice at first until I figured out what was going on.

The phone not charging when it is hot is a normal safety feature (ie the phone is performing as designed)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ScandaLeX:
From what you described happening to your phone it sounds like a one time occurrence. With me it happens so often and when it does my battery depleted rather quickly.

Is there a way to find out what app; if it is an app that's causing it?

Tappin' from my SGP 5.0
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Yes, my example was a one time occurence. I didn't mean to imply it was the same as your situation, but rather that things can be running in the background and it may not be immediately obvious. You might have something similar happening, but obviously not the same cause, as yours is happening all the time.

I usually use System Panel to see what is running and/or look at logcats to see if any strange things are happening.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Razorwindmo46:
Forgot to mention the phone getting hot only happens when unplugged (on with screen off. Not while plugged in).

I didn't have the problem till I installed the rom, but do believe installing it might have made an app go rogue since I used the NoData rom, not sure.

Nothing is running in the system panel. Will check logcats and post result later.

Ok, not sure how to do logcat but, used LogThis and Log Collector and nothing shows up in the logs.
