[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retikulatus:
Dear community,

i am a (proud:P) owner of a green lens Defy and it has been a while since i began to flash new roms in my phone, thank to your amazing work to make our dreams come true :D

i have switched to cm7, cm9, cm10 with no problems at all, until i tried this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1140839

and then, the nightmare began!

Now i have 2 big problems :

1) since this rom didn't work on my device, i tried to go back to another cm7 i used to try before and it didn't work anymore :(

Then i tried several ones which worked before with no success, then i tried to reflash my current sbf file (PL firm-3.4.2_131-003_DEBLUR_SIGN) with rsd lite (i tried 4.9 and 6.1.5 version btw) and i ended stuck in the bootloader. i tried the sbf i want to use now as it is recommended to work with cm7: (JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN), and i was still stuck in the bootloader:(

i don't know if we can call that to be bricked but whatever, i have done this walkthrough: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1807899&highlight=no+app2sd+partition

ok , with this walkthrough i can use a custom recovery or a nandroid backup but i (still) cannot install another .sbf file other than the one on the walkthrough (JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf) and i don't know why. it is a eclair rom if i am not mistaken, so , i should be able to rsd lite a froyo one with no problem. Here is my rsd lite log when i tried to flash JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN.

I spent hours to find links with persons who experience the same issue but i cannot find any reel solution.

i have seen : http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/31432-faq-cyanogenmod-7/

All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide :http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1216982

Is that possible taht the sbf files i try to flash have their CG versions lower that the JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf ? will i be able to flash froyo sbf files again?

2) my second probleme is : when i flash ( with custom recovery or nandroid files ) and use the previews cm7 i used i have a major issue:

my internal stockage is bugged : instead of the usual 1,5go of internal storage i usually had before i bricked my device, i only have 128Mo

internal storage space!!! ( i don't speak about sd card, ram and sd card seem working fine). i can't , then , reinstall my previews applications ( i didn't use hd games or big apk so i didn't have to store on my sd card)

I tried Aroma wiper & formatter 2.0 , but nothing change.

i would be grateful if somebody had some advices and could, eventually, redirect me on a valide link where i can download a nandroid version or custom recovery zip file of the JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN.sbf file.

Thank you for this great site, indeed!

kind regards

edit: hurrah! i did a stock recovery wipe data/cache , and reinstalled my favorite recovery rom and now i have my 1,3go internal storage back ! :) i am so happy ! :)
