when I press the two buttons at the same time, back on the previous screen (with the "Android +!") push the two buttons toggles in and out of the recovery options.

I have a Bayer Defy MB525. and was no downgrade, do not know why this so, because I was with the Ms2ginger before the problem

the link has 3 versions of british retail, I installed the second

but it is no boot, I'll try the latest version (or all if necessary)

anyway, thanks for the help.

______________________________

Thank's art-jcd but the Chinese do not start, black screen only ... This recovery does not accept touch screen

SAMHUI94 ... Same Problem ?? (Click Thank's :rolleyes:)

I think many people will still go through the same situation, a lot of confusion between kernel.

I applied last sbf british proposed by janeindiran, but it did not work

my Defy is MB525 (Bayer) can only do turn-on with the ROM DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1 134_DFP-231 I think is the Nordic ...

... does anyone know if there other tools to try access the recovery menu?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janeindiran:
If you flash the rom all data will be lost. Why are you try to access recovery menu. Try this:JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTGB_P019_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz

Don't enter recovery until first boot gets completed. Usually recovery does show those messages.

Tell whether it works??
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omarvin:
until now recovery always showing this message, i ever waiting for the end of RSD but didn't work ...

My bootloader is locked, I cannot downgrade, so I think the Defy ROM U32xx or U33xx not will work, I tried several but nothing happens, the red logo appears, enable recovery (corrupted as shown in picture) and stay in bootloop only when i flash 4.5.1-134_DFP-231xx

I Change to RSD Lite 5.6 - Win7(5.5.0 x64 Drivers), Win XP (with 5.5.0 x86 Drivers) <<< All Updated

Nada, Nothing !

in the past i loved motorola, today i HATE, my next Android only with unlocked bootloader

i think theres no Ninja who can help me :(

BTW : Thanks a Lot !
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelbygreen:
you might of upgraded the kernel to high. I tried to install 231 and it failed and I tried so many roms with all failing! I flashed with a 2311 rom and it worked.

Not sure if you used this kernel but anything lower will not work. Also you cannot root 231.

If you have 231 have a read of this link to root it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542956

You should be able flash them threw RSD lite it wone get you back to stock rom but it will get your phone working.

If you know you dont have 231 kernel I would try other options first as you cant downgrade from it thats why no other roms would work for me.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
You can flash BL7 sbf if BL is the problem of your defy. But you should remember that there is no way back then.

Fortunately CM10 builds by Quarx give back the ability to use camera in green lense defy.

Look this thread to find out which ROMs are BL7.

Anyway try first to flash BL6 of BL5 ROM - it is much easier to root with SuperOneClick, especially if you tried only froyo builds till now.

Here are the ROMs to download from

Quarx's new 2nd boot builds of CMX ALREADY use custom kernel so there is that news! and yes since he is using custom kernel, camera works on both green and red lens regardless of BL version. It's more of a universal build with 2nd boot that works on defy(red and green) and defy+ Check out Quarx's CMX thread in development section to learn more and for links to download!

So to have back camera working in green lense defy with BL7 we shall use Quarx CM10 2nd boot builds from this thread

For those which have a BL7 kernel 2.6.32.9-ge281b6e hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid54#1 please look into OP of this thread by nidish91

We shouldn't be afraid of using 2nd boot builds as it is as simple as any other build flashed by 2ndinit (i.e. CWM)

We just flash from CWM the zip of ROM, at the exact moment also of an update, newest gapps, make again wipes of cache and dalvik, reboot and here we are.

The best result is when we start from flashing last sbf (means clean install), then we will not have any strange bugs :D and the quickest system available for defy now

Hi,

Update only gives a blank screen with a red led..without update i have bootscreen with red led still and finallly boot and i got the damn camera back working!!

Bye
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
When with only red light (means we are booting in 2nd boot, 2ndinit gives green light - just remove battery, puysh it again and when blue led is on for a moment press vol down, wipe cache and dalvik cache. If still only red light then do the same and wipe data also. Then you should boot.

For gapps see here
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roo1313:
:good:

Ok, thanks, i finally got it working with the update, first boot was VEEEeeeeery long (red led+blank scr then red led+bootscr then only bootscr)

As my defy was BL7 equipped, i didn't flashed 06.10 kernel only 51#1 kernel then 11.10 rom + 13.10 upd

BIGNOTE: Green lens users who flashed redlens builds please dont try using flash, you will end up burning it like me and many others.

So i shouldn't use led as flash or light..? Are there any others limitations/issues we should be aware of ?

THX again, you definitely made my days!! :victory:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
When you flashed the update of 13.10 then your flashlight is safe again. It wasn't safe only with first custom kernel - patched by the ROMs

Anyway in power widgets in statusbar I would set torch light as normal and not high (there is no default value - we must set it)

Ps. I would use the system just out of box, I mean no tweaks with RAM, HW settings, memory settings. As far as I tried it it works great just out of box. After some tweaks it can get laggy.

The only problem is high battery drain - my defy works usually a day, charging each night. Just a problem to be solved in next builds.

First charge the battery, safe method in external charger or friend's defy, or McGyver method.

I'm not sure when 'code corrupt' message appears but suppose your sbf was corrupted, download it again, check md5sum if possible. Or maybe your battery got too low during flashing process :confused:

Hi,

My defy(Cm10 Build11-10 with updatev2) discharged last night, and this morning when I put it to charge would get to the lock screen and freeze or not get past the Cyano logo.

I then tried getting into recovery and clearing chache and dalvic, but then it would rebuild all the apps and then get stuck at the cyano logo again.

So I then tried reflashing by clearing chache/dalvic and then installing 11-10 again from SDcard, then upadatesv1 and updatev2. When I rebooted, I was stuck at moto logo, without even getting to custom recovery.

I then put into bootloader mode and flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7 SEA, but that got stuck at "Writing code group 39".

I then waited a while, and tried again, this time the RSD flash competed and I got the "Please reboot this phone manually"

But now, I can't get past the android logo. I once got to the "Touch the android to begin screen" But, phone reboots again, shows the android logo and then I have a black screen.

What can I do? How to recover my phone?

I thought it was an RSD issue, so used a 32bit machine and reflashed, but still have the same issue.

When I enter stock recovery, I see the following.

Error: Can't find /cache/recovery/commands

Error: Can't find /cache/recovery/caller

Also, when I tried factory reset, the phone showed some progress and then rebooted into moto logo.

What could be the problem? :(

I tried redownloading Sbf from different source, and checked the hashes, it's fine.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
Well, not nice till now :p

It still seems that your system is not mounted / flashed properly

I would try another sbf file (understand that you've already flashed mentioned file earlier, but remember that even on a hard disk the file can get corrupted)

Have you tried to download the sbf again?

Is it your parent sbf file?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spy king:
Yes, I'm trying to flash the SEA Froyo sbf. I've downloaded it from two different locations and checked the hash too.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:

This happened twice, once with the SEA sbf, and the one posted here.

I was on Stock SEA, before running WajikUI and then Cm10.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
Probably my last proposal/idea

Try 3.4.2_179 from the site
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janeindiran:
not a hardware issue. you should just find the right sbf file.What i posted was the latest version so it should work fine.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
As I understood from his previous answer he tried it. Or ...? Spy king, have you tried janeindiran proposal as I asked before?

If so BL4 ideas would be finished?

Spy king: are you sure JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7 SEA was your stock ROM? Have you ever tried to flash it before?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
Please confirm: mentioned above SEA official you had flashed and it worked?

Try another cable

And let's wait for janeindiran, he is a really experienced guy

Ps. Do you have a valid warranty?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spy king:
Yep, it worked, as in it showed the "touch the android to begin" once, then when trying a factory reset from bootmenu, it failed, phone rebooted into a moto logo after 30 secs,

Then tried flashing sbf suggested by janeindiran, but getting checksum errors, now getting checksum errors even on official SEA.

will moto honor warranty if phone is stuck in bootloader mode?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janeindiran:
What i suggested was also an official sbf. You just have to find the correct sbf for your device.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spy king:
could you pl link to the sbf you suggested?

Also, will moto honor warranty if stuck in bootloader?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corrinti:
As per many posts I've read yes, they will honour warranty

You don't have to say you have ever tried to flash anything, just your moto stopped working

It is not because of flashing but internal memory weakness, which shall survive but didn't

What I've found in most cases with checksum error group 33 -101 in internet it was never resolved, besides very few cases solved by other cable or computer to flash

Also in xda if you try to see profiles of ppl having this problem, there are no newer posts by them, though the problem appeared a year or so ago.

So if you have your warranty, go to service.

But meanwhile you can check other proposals of janeindiran. I give 9 to 1 that it is a hardware problem. Anyway will like to hear how it is finished and will be glad to hear that can be resolved by flashing other sbf
