But htc wasnt deliberately badmouthing Samsung. I think its pretty cool that they were handing out swag and drink to the people waiting in line.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Heelfan71:
I'm sure they all do something similar. Just cheesy business tactics. If you want someone to buy your product, make an excellent product and people will buy it regardless.

As I said I don't like how Samsung employees bad mouthed competitors phones but they all troll to some extent but some of those guys went overboard big time
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmeladov:
Hi folks!

I think I've messed up my workphone (Defy MB525) in some wierd way.

I had Cyanogen Mod 10 installed and should only do an update to another nightly, but by mistake I chose a cm7-file instead and flashed it. After that I got stuck in a bootloop, whatever ROM i tried to install or how I did :/

I then tried to reset the phone with an original SBF-file using RSD Lite 5.6. The sbf-file I am using is JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf (found in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1828639 first post)

My intention fo flash the sbf-file was to restore the phone to its original state and from that point re-rooting it and after that install cm10 again.

But now to my problem, I just cant to do anything with the phone. The screen is all black and I cannot do anything :/

RSD Lite recognizes the phone and I can flash sbf-files to it. It goes to 100% progress but when it is supposed to boot up after flashing, it takes just a second or so...and RSD Lite then says "Passed" on result leaving me with the black screen yet again.

Only time I can see something on the screen is during the flashing. The sceen says "SW update In progress...". Other then that, always black:crying:

Really really stuck here and dont know what to do. If anyone has an idea and the time to help me, I would be in ever grateful!

Best regards,

Download that, unrar it to a folder

Flash Firmware 1, let the phone boot up and done.

If you want ROOT, enter to Motorola Recovery (Volume up + power, when the Android appears press Volume up + Volume down) then factory reset and wipe data, reboot phone on BL mode (Volume down + power) and flash Firmware 2.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmeladov:
Thanks a ton for helping me in desperate times :)

I managed to get the phone working again using your files and this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216982

Then I got the problem with 128mb internal memory, but solved it.

Now I have cm9 up and running with no issues. I tried Epsylons CM10 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1768702 but it lagged and were really really slow for some reaseon :/
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feche:
Epsylon builds are outdated, you should try Quarx CM10 or CM10.1
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmeladov:
Thanks, had some issues installing Quarx CM10. Never managed to get it up and running, might've been a kernel issue or something. The led just turns RED :/

On my Google Nexus CM10 was more smooth then 10.1, so I figured I'd better try CM10 on the defy due to weaker hardware. But I might have wrong there since I havent tried.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feche:
Did you wipe cache?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmeladov:
Yep, I wiped factory, cache and dalvik. But still chrashed. Will try again today though. Can report back and see if I get better luck :)

Thanks a ton for trying to help me btw, highly appretiated!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feche:
Make sure that you are using latest Quarx build (http://quarx2k.ru/cm10.1-nightly-defy+/2.6.32/cm-10.1-20130415-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip)

What OS are you using right now? no problem mate :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmeladov:
That is the file I've tried but for some reason I just cant get passed the red motorola-logo. the phone gets stuck in a bootloop like this; Red Motorola-Logo, LED turns green...Red Motorola-logo...and then it loops like that. Dont know what to do :/

I use Win 7 x64.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feche:
Do this:

Enter recovery

Wipe cache, data and dalvik

Install Quarx CM10 (http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy(+)/CM10-20130409-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip)

Install 4.1.2 gApps (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip)

Reboot and let it boot up.

Once you are with CM10, do this:

Enter recovery

Wipe cache, data and dalvik

Install Quarx CM10.1 (http://quarx2k.ru/cm10.1-nightly-defy+/2.6.32/cm-10.1-20130415-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip)

Install 4.2.2 gApps (http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip)

Reboot

Good luck :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marmeladov:
I think I give up. Dont understand what I am doing wrong. Have rooted and installed custom roms on htc hero, htc sensation xe, htc wildfire, galaxy nexus..but this phone. Neever had even close to the issues I'm having with this one :/

I followd your steps on installing cm10. But when both the rom and gapps are installed and I reboot it reboot the following happends; red motorola-log, blue led - red led. And bootloop. Nothing else :/

Read somewhere that I have to install a kernel separately, is that true?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Feche:
Nope, the kernel is on the .zip

Are you sure that you wiped data and cache?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vmnogueira:
It is advised to wipe cache and Dalvic cache after installing zip files.

Moreover, when I installed full Gapps I got system partition full, so instead I installed minimal Gapps:

I simply dont know if I'm doing something wrong (think not) or if my phone is messed up. But I get the same result after following your guides several times. I cant get passed the motorola-logo after flashing cm10. The Led turns red (indicating somethings wrong?) and then reboots again. Keeps going adn going :/

This might be enough to keep me from ever buying another Samsung product ever! Me being in sales that is a cardinal sin to badmouth your competition!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
In reality everyone talks bad about everyone because its a competition. Everyone wants to come out on top and they will use every resource available to see that happen. At least Samsung had the balls to admit it ( even though it is not right) and not hide behind any other people like other companies do when they get accused of something they did and there is evidence to prove it.

Yeah. I work for chase and I know BOA sucks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Who gives a sh*t? HTC lied to the dev community about opening up their device's for easier development then they neutered the unlock tool so it cripples the device and only partially unlocks the bootloader, instead of giving full S-Off or shipping unlocked like they originally promised back in 2011. I used to like HTC until they started making it such a pain in the ass to unlock them. Competing company's bash each others products all the time. Look at the windoze/mac commercials and the iphone/galaxy commercials for proof. It's called competition company A isn't gonna go around and say "hey company B has a great product! Go buy it instead of ours" that's just stupid.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SooooneR:
That is not competition! That paying for slander! lol I would expect HTC to find evidence of this and probably file a lawsuit soon!

You know have a catchy commercial tell me why your product is better than others... but when you have to pay someone to talk bad about your competition? You must feel like your product isn't up to par to go to those extremes! That is being desperate!

Pretty pathetic at best in my book! Oh and I own a Note 2!

It's not slander to say you don't like a product :rolleyes: in the US we call this freedom of speech.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
You are right on this. Every commercial is usually a bash to a similar product and show why theirs is better than that one. Plus arent they paying tv companies to air these commercials?

I dont know why but i would kinda want to see this. Just joking I wouldn't :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SooooneR:
I can see you're way over your head here. lol

It is border line Slander probably leaning more towards Defamation.

Paying someone to talk bad about you when it may or may not be true is wrong no matter how you sugarcoat it.

If an agent paid some scout to bad mouth you, because the player he was representing was in competition for the same roster spot. Then said you wasn't cut out for the Majors to an owner. They passed you up for a 5 million dollar signing bonus and rather large contract when in all reality you were a bad azz. They sign the other guy. Hmmm... Wonder how you would feel now?

hahaha

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
There is absolutely nothing we can do about it anyway so why care? Everyone defamates everyone. Be that sports, technology, retail, anything. Nobody I mean nobody will ever stop that. At least they admitted it. No one else will ever want to admit something like that. Plus since they admitted it its because what they said about HTC products might be true
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Too bad your analogy doesn't hold water. They go by what they see not what an agent says in sports, otherwise free agents would never be picked up since they have no one to talk them up to the owners, who BTW don't make the call on which players the team gets the coaches do that. If companies could sue for people talking sh*t about their products then all those iPhone fanboys would be getting sued for talking down every android device ever made, and apple/Microsoft/Samsung etc would be suing each other over commercials and ads constantly. The lawsuits would be considered frivolous and a waste of the courts time. It's flat out stupid to try and sue someone for having an opinion different than yours. To prove slander, libel or defamation you have to prove the person/company stated it as fact and not opinion which is pretty much impossible.

If sh*t like this is allowed to proceed in a court it opens up a door for companies to go around suing every fanboy/site on the internet for disliking their product. That sets a very dangerous precedent boarding on the erosion of the first amendment right to freedom of speech in the US.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] VeNuMuS:
Damn evil you are on fire. It is freedom of speech. There is no control over it.

That's what I'm saying. :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Oh and not only do you have to prove it was stated as fact you also have to prove it did long term damage to your reputation and not just temporary damages, otherwise the case will be dismissed. This is why cases of libel/slander/defamation are typically settled out of court for undisclosed settlements with NDA/gagorders intact. If most libel/slander/defamation cases went to court they woukd be either dismissed or lost, at least in the US where freedom of speech is a protected right which makes it very difficult to sue someone over words. Most attorneys won't touch these cases with a 200 foot pole since they don't want to be seen as anti freedom of speech/civil liberties.

Dealing with children here... SMH If you only knew half of what you think you do we would be getting somewhere. lol

Not trying to attack your precious phone builder so don't get your panties all wadded up! Just bringing the news... Most of my phones over the last 12 years I have been with Sprint have been Samsung. I have also bought my share of HTC phones that I didn't like and sent back.

^^ This guy just made an account so he could write that he doesn't care he will continue buying Samsung Products. None of us care about slander. Samsungs products are good. Everyone slanders everyone so there is no reason to rage over something everyone does.

This is a good perspective from PhoneDog. hahaha

http://www.phonedog.com/2013/04/17/playing-dirty-it-s-not-just-an-apple-thing-anymore/

Plus, if Samsung’s devices were that much better than the HTC One then the reviews would pay for themselves. Somebody is lacking in the confidence department.

Fake internet reviews! No... no way! Dumbazzes!

A news article from BBC News recently brings to light that Samsung is under investigation in Taiwan for hiring students to post fake web reviews defaming the highly acclaimed HTC One. This stems from documentation appearing on a local website. The document allegedly came from Samsung looking to hire students to bad-mouth HTC and sing praises to Samsung over fake Internet reviews.

This should make for an interesting year. I thought only Apple did this kind of crap.

This doesn't tell me that Samsung "admitted to having people badmouth HTC"

All this says if you read into it enough is that Samsung hired people to post anonymous posts and that it "has ceased all marketing activities that involve the posting of anonymous comments” after what they call an “unfortunate incident.”

To me that says someone that they hired decided to smart off and talk crap about HTC and that they should not have because it's not what they were hired to do. Which is why Samsung called it an “unfortunate incident.”

The first article states that Samsung has openly admitted to hiring to give false reviews or bad opinions of HTC phones. Whatever...

I have to say I have had about every high end phone Sprint has put out over the last 13 years and I have had some crap Samsung phones and some crap HTC phones.

I have the Note 2 now and it stands as the best phone I have ever had. I will probably buy an HTC One and put it on one of my business lines. You can bet my review will be legit! Well unless Samsung slips me enough cash to... ummm... nevermind. hahaha

Lala land apparently. He can't even make a valid argument without resorting to childish name calling. He thinks paid opinions equal slander and defamation on Samsungs part, to bad slander and defamation have to be presented as fact and evidenced to show they did irreparable long term damage to an entities reputation. Just saying HTC sucks does not equal slander or defamation no matter who paid the person to say it or how much they paid them. Should probably go read a few definitions in the dictionary before spouting off nonsense like you know what you're talking about, cuz you look about as ignorant as the sky is blue.
