ok mate

right the mcgyver trick works a treat and is surprisingly easy. i wasnt keen on it but it works and is not hard although it is fiddly and if you are anything like me it will take a few attempts to peel back the shielding and expose the wires and then get them in place.

i found the best way to get the wires in place was not put them under the battery as the guide suggests but instead just put the battery in as normal and have the wires in at the very end. you will understand what i mean when you start but i have decided to take a photo and you can see what i mean here

http://sdrv.ms/OPDczX

everything you need for that this section of the recovery is here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=892026

then you need to flash the sbf again. the one you have already flashed is fine and is the one you need so use that. (if for some reason it doesnt work after what i am going to tell you then ask again on here before you choose another).

next follow the guide to un-bricking your phone (linked below). if the phone wont boot and gets stuck after you have flashed the sbf you need to boot into recovery and wipe the data/ cache. reboot and all should be ok.

so follow the guide to the letter but when/ if (the phone wont boot past the moto logo) follow step 8. however you will find that when you press power on/ volume down that instead of motorola recovery you get a droid with an exclamation mark (this is ok so dont panic). to get into stock recovery from this position you need to press and hold down both up and down volume buttons at the same time for about three seconds and viola. then you can wipe and you should (fingers crossed) be good to go. if you dont understand anything then ask but it is relatively straightforward and if you do what i suggest above then you should have a working phone in next to no time.

[Defy General] simon211175:
Thanks for the prompt reply, I feel more confident doing this after reading that. Unfortunately I've no spare USB cable to try this with at the moment, but having looked further I've noticed my battery has a bulge in it, so I doubt there's much point in trying this with this battery.

I did however successfully manage to flash the sbf file (according to RSD Lite) using my friend's battery - but the phone still doesn't boot. Given that my phone isn't going to be right with the current battery - I think my best option now is to take it back to T-Mobile, tell them the battery has done some damage.
[Defy General] rockmonkey1973:
did you wipe the cache/ data after you flashed the sbf? if you didnt you may want to give it a go before you send it off. it may spring to life once you have done that.
[Defy General] simon211175:
I don't get that option - the phone doesn't reboot. RSD Lite said it did, but all I actually got was a blank screen.
[Defy General] neo.ank:
It looks real bad. You sure the battery didn't die in the flashing process.?

Also try booting into recovery and do a wipe.
[Defy General] simon211175:
It's entirely possible that the battery died during the flash.

I cannot boot in to recovery - the phone doesn't get that far!

I've sent it back to be repaired. hopefully they'll do it under warranty, but if not it's only going to cost around £60 to buy out the remainder of my contract so if the repair costs more I've got that as a backup option. :)

Thanks for all your help guys.

You can cut an old wall charger but if you can't measure the voltage to know what wire have 5 volts and 0 Volts , and you can hold the wires 5V to plus on akku and 0 to minus and the supply would load..... you can left the batt out of the device...

Wait 10 till 15 min ,for save check if batt getting hot, boot into stock recovery and factory reset your phone

If you can't enter recovery you should be able to enter boatloader

If there is battery low can not program ..load akku.. or ready to program which means .... flash rom with rsd, factory reset , reboot, have fun

i did this two times, flash with low batt one of with not loading batt in dev - i charged with Nokia wall charger cable

If only battery is too empt and briked batt loader.......

If boot loader is briked by bad flashing search Google......

But i mean ciao loved defy

And don't forget : factory reset is always after you changed your rom....

[Defy General] simon211175:
so, here's my update.

You will recall (see two posts up) that I gave my phone back to T-Mobile on 20th August for a repair. I got my phone back today (+18 days). Here's how it went:

Day 1

Took phone to T-Mobile store. Informed them my battery had a strange lump, which I suspect had fried my phone somewhere. They advised they would send it to the repair centre the following day. No courtesy phones available so I'd be living in the 1980s for a while.

Day 10.

Phone actually arrives a the repair centre. I have no idea where the repair centre is, but I'm guessing really really far away.

Day 15.

Repair centre advise my battery is faulty and to replace would cost me £26.40 for a genuine Motorola battery. Advised repair centre that I told them my battery was broken, and asked why it took them 15 days to repeat that back to me. Also advised them I would rather by my genuine Motorola battery from Amazon for £11.95. Gave them a link in case they want to update their price lists.

Day 17.

Repair started on actual phone.

Repair finished. Yep - the repair took less than 24 hours.

Day 18.

Phone returned to store. it took 24 hours to get there, so I'm assuming the post travels down hill only on the way back.

Picked up phone from store, all set to complain about poor service etc. Noticed brand new battery I hadn't paid for sitting in the returns package. Kept quiet. Left store promptly.

So now I have a working Defy once more (Hurrah).

Obviously I've rooted it already in order to get Titanium Backup to restore all my apps.

Now I have stock 2.2 Blur running on my phone (Boo!), and with only a few months remaining on my contract, I'm not sure if I want to risk loading a new ROM again (I'll reread this once I've loaded a new ROM next week, for sure).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meminiau:
Hi,

Hope this is posted in the correct place :fingers-crossed:

I own a Sammy Galaxy Nexus and have had a play with various kernels. The two that I have had the most success are Franco and Trinity. I have always been able to run the higher GPU speed with Franco's kernels(512) but don't have the same results with Trinity's 537MHz speeds. I can over clock with Trinity's 384 kernels, but when I try with the higher GPU speed, I can't go over 1190MHz.

Could it simply be the 25MHz on the GPU is enough for my phone to get cranky and freeze when it feels like it? I just find it hard to believe that with that extra 25 my phone completely changes and can't run on even a little over clocking....

Thoughts?

Root your phone AND look for set CPU in market ,u can adjust doped as you want but it may affect performance if you go very or very low
[HTC One X] x_zarbat:
i want to set only single core use and 3other off all the time
[HTC One X] atrako1973:
well you can do that but it will have a major blow to the phone performance ,the phone would become very laggy or even useless
[HTC One X] treebill:
Actually you can't force it to use only one of the main cores it will always use 2 you can force it to use the power save core but that will make your phone basically unusable.

There is an app called core control made by meltus which let's you turn off cores.
[HTC One X] feis:
No it wont, single core is enough for simple tasks, ofc im not talking about gamin or similar stuff
[HTC One X] JayWales:
Out of interest, why would you want to turn off 3 cores permanently?

HTC like all other companies design their software around the hardware,so it was designed with a QUADCORE in mind, gaming or other ,and NO! SIMPLE TASKS WONT RUN SMOOTH BECAUSE IT WAS DESIGNED TO RUN ON QUADCORE AS WELL!
[HTC One X] feis:
Yeah right, but somehow my desire hd with single core @ 1ghz runs sense 4 just fine.. i have disabled 2 cores in my hox and could even play every game i tried without problems. So please educate a bit more before making these statements in capital letters, thanks.
[HTC One X] redfrog1243:
That may be the case, but One X is not designed to only run on one core, hence its probably gonna lag.

Sent from my fauxed HOX running ParanoidAndroid JB
[HTC One X] feis:
I dont think "it isnt designed to" is good argument here. It isnt designed to run cyanogen mod or miui or whatever either, but somehow its doing just fine. It wasnt designed to record videos @ 30fps, but look, now it does, i could go on and on about things it "isnt designed" to do but it does :) Either way you cant run 1core for now, minimum 2, and as i said earlier im doing it right now and no lags, even games are smooth.
[HTC One X] VaderSKN:
Same here. I use two cores for gaming, simple tasks, and it doesn't lag at all. On Dead trigger, I'm getting 30-40 fps on two cores. The battery is much better when using 2 cores than 4 cores.

Well then you bought a quadcore for nothing then ,you should have gone for a dual core since it works well for you,this phone makers so stupid making quadcore phones , wonder what was HTC thinking when they made the one x with quadcore ,they could have gone for dual core its cheaper
[HTC One X] wanzer:
I've choosen my hox for design, big and beautiful screen, great camera, great software AND it has a quad-core. I never choose a phone by its technical specs alone, so disabling 2 cores is not such a pity in my case.

[HTC One X] Feregorn:
I've been a little behind with recent HOX development but, are you implying that there is a mod available that improves camera recording? Can you point me to it please? As to your reasoning behind the voluntary limiting of CPU frequency I entirely agree.
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
Yes there is, it's in the development section and it removes JPEG compression and increases video bit rate.
[HTC One X] feis:
I didnt buy hox just because its quad core, if u did, thats funny. And just because i turned off 2 cores now, doesnt mean i cant turn 2 back on when i need the power boost. It litterally takes 5 seconds. Answering to other queation, yes, there is such mod in development section, sense only though.

I had my phone charging while also tethering. I left it for a while and them came back and it said the battery temp was 48 °C. How bad is that for the phone, and is there a way to prevent it from getting so hot next time?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Watanuki-Kun:
Pretty much by not using it while it is charging. You are charging the phone and also tethering with it, that will make your battery heat up. I do not know the battery tolerances for heat so I don't have any advice for that but common sense dictates that if you don't do it for a long time and often, you are fine.

BTW I've contacted a few devs of other Samsung Devices like Epic4G Touch, Galaxy S2 / Note which had identified the this Superbrick bug. Let's hope they respond & could help us sail through these tricky waters.

Never had to reboot from a hung state in GB Rom.

Have rebooted like around 40 - 50 times till date.

Had done a clean dalvik cache/factory reset/wipe battery stats and (YA I CAME TO KNOW WAS A FOOL TO DO THAT POST ICS ROM )

but still i face the hang issues randomly. No specific reason to pin point to.

Games:

Games like angry birds too are laggy.

Talking Tom graphics dont show up well .. Forced in dev mode to use GPU rendering post which the graphics worked fine but still the GB Graphic Drivers appear better. Time to bug NVidia for that i guess. I Really have started hated nVidia now.

Stock GB Usage around ~300mb and this is around ~400mb. When i used to stop all applications forcefully memory usage went as low as 200MB in GB. Now it goes to 375 odd MB.

So, Battery usage and memory usage way way way higher than STOCK GB.

Well,I would say after updating the ROM to ICS everything seems to be faster.

But i was hoping that in ICS we will have native Full screen caller ID support and a nice Dial pad.I also thought the home screen and app drawer will be like samsung Galaxy nexus...but i was pretty much disappointed with all these requirements!!!
