[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okdewit:
Hey!

I had CM10.2 on my Defy+, and tried to just follow Quarx simple post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2515036

I had some trouble with the update recovery (bad zip), reformatted my SD with sdcard.org's official formatting tool, and it worked.

The Quarx website seems to be down, so I downloaded the CM11 rom with the most recent date from http://defy.bytekiste.de/cm11-nightly-defy+/

Which is where I got the update-recovery as well, so I figured that would be fine.

Got a status 7 error (this package is for "MB526" but your device is ""), so I tried fiddling with the verification, editing the rom script (those few lines you have to delete), according to various topics on the status 7 subject. Nothing worked.

People in treads advice different recovery files, so I manually flashed TWRP from here:

http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/91

I rebooted into recovery again, an it just gives a blank (but lit) screen. I can still access the bootmenu, but not recovery, so I guess TWRP doesn't work with my phone. Should have read the comments on that downloadpage I guess... So I went on to find this "goomanager" people are talking about but all I get are dead links, so I tried the ROMManager and TWRPManager apps, but I can't find any reference to Defy+, Jordan or MB526 within those apps when they ask you to select a device.

I'm not an expert, so I was like, lets start all over from scratch to get recovery working again. Any recovery, I don't care. So I went back to:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Insta...alling_bootmenu_.26_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery

Which is what I used for when I bought the phone to get root, bootmenu & recovery through ADB from the windows command line.

I'm trying to follow that to at least recover the ICS recovery which I had, but I'm stuck there as well. When I switch USB from mass storage mode to "tools only", ADB disconnects, and when I leave it in mass storage mode, well, the sdcard is not mounted to the phone so I can't use ADB on it.

Can anyone give me a push in the right direction? Can I restore the update-recovery from Quarx CM11 thread somehow?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okdewit:
So I got adb to function (how, I do not know), ran the stuff here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Insta...alling_bootmenu_.26_the_ClockworkMod_Recovery

Which gives me Bootmenu 0.6.1 (I had Bootmenu 2.0.0 before?). And it doesn't include a functional recovery, or a functional 2ndinit, so I completely (soft)bricked my phone now :laugh: Both recovery & boot give errors about missing sh scripts.

Soooo... I installed RSD Lite & motorola drivers with the intention of flashing a stock SBF.

Dead links, dead links everywhere.... sigh.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboN:
Soooo, are you simply pointing out the fact that the links haven't been updated (or maybe expressing frustration), or are you saying that you didn't find the new location of the sbf files? The links do have a trail that lead to the new location of the sbf files -- yes, you have to go through several pages to get there and then you have to select the specific sbf that you want, but it's there (here for Defy: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 or here for Defy+: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=28).

Don't forget, these tutorials, as well as most everything on this forum, are written by people who freely (as in free beer) give of their time to help those of us that are less knowledgeable and therefore may not get updated in a timely manner or maybe not updated at all.

Yesterday when I tried it, the whole droid-developers website just gave an Nginx server error, but I'm glad to see it's up again. Gonna load up RSDLite now and give it one last try!

I fully realize that, it's mostly frustration with myself and a series of bad actions which led me to lock up my phone further and further with each action. I realized the risk in advance, so luckily I do have a full backup and a backup phone, but it still hurts a bit to see your beloved device dying on the operating table because of your own stupidity. ;)

Sweet victory, I got froyo back at least! Thanks!

Now to tread very carefully...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboN:
Glad to hear you were successful.

Yep, know the frustration of my own stupid actions screwing up my phone and when you go to fix it, that don't work right either -- been there & done that.

Sweet victory #2: Now I have CM11 working! :laugh:

(using the SBF flash & the section in the guide for stock to kitkat: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2737990)

I've found one BIG culprit in my previous methodology: copying files through motorola phone portal is just plain wrong. I kept getting "bad zip" and other verification errors. Even by using the USB "Mass Storage" option in the stock Froyo rom the files didn't match exactly 1:1, at least not according to the checksums. It took multiple tries to copy the framaroot/2ndinit apk files to the SD card correctly, and the CM rom zip was just plainly impossible to get on there.

So for the rom itself I just mounted through "USB Mount" in TWRP recovery, It's copies way faster as well. I've also used the windows program Teracopy (for CRC checks) instead of the built-in windows explorer file copier. :good:

Thanks a lot for the support, if you had not pointed out that the SBF filehost was working fine again, this nice phone would've been thrown away. :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimboN:
Fantastic! CM11 works better for me than any other rom that i've tried (certainly smoother and probably faster), still has a few bugs but so did all the others. Best of all it's the latest android and can run all the latest apps.

Hmm... That's interesting. I've used USB Mass Storage to do just what you attempted to do without a problem -- good to know as a potential issue.

Thanks for the tip.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WasifSal:
Hey guys. Its been a while now i'm using this phone. I gotta admit i give a hard time on the phone's battery (charging cycle that is, i dnt let it fully charge and all). But I can't avoid that.

Anyways. I have this issue:

When a GRAY background is displayed on the phone, (like on a white webpage, when the keyboard is opened) i notice these VERTICAL BANDINGS/GRADIENTS on the screen

They appear on the left and the right sides (1 cm or so from the end of the display).

I also notice the horizontal banding/gradient half a centimeter below the status bar but its REALLLLYYY subtle.

My prediction?

Remember i said i give my battery a hard time? Well to be its the battery pushing the display from the back (probably swelled the poor guy lol) and giving this.

Why do i think this?

Well because

The banding lies EXACTLY where the left and right edges of the battery might probably be

IMPORTANT ASWELL: When i put a pressure on the display, the glass PUSHES the display (and creates those lovely watery ripples) ON THE SAME EDGES WHERE THE BANDING EXISTS.

Extra info: It might be a backlit problem, since its not present at any brightness level on any colour. Red blue green orange pink black purple, even gray(the banding is where the backlit dims)

So yeah thanks for reading it im sure u'll do something abt this.

I cant seem to take it in any camera these defect (i have no DSLR lulz). :3

first remove safetrap, unroot and try to update it.

If you still cannot update, then root, install safetrap; rename the bin file to zip file and install it via safetrap. This method worked for me but the modem firmware may not be updated.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
if you have xposed and the HDXpose module installed you must find and uncheck it under modules and uninstall framework and uninstall the app . If you used the toolkit to block OTA updates you must undo this under the «more» option , uninstalled safestrap properly including deleting its files . Do a factory reset under security settings skip set up choose language only. Dropped your update Bin file on root of sdcard in other words drop it directly on "kindle" on pc.. Give it a few minutes then check for updates via settings with no Wi-Fi connection it should . Acknowledge it and run update.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] jimyv:
wow

If you haven't heard that before then you haven't read very much around here it has at least a dozen times in multiple problem update threads where people have used some type of OTA blocker method . Some people have gotten away without doing it but if your having problems then it shouldn't really be a question . It's easy back everything up to your PC and start over . If you feel the need to have the latest update then you may have to work for it a lil sorry . I do know I had to factory reset to get mine to update to .4 from .1 after using different blocking methods... people are having the same problem when they try to roll back... After using blocking methods.And you never mentioned which firmware you are starting on. I don't believe that you can skip up to far....1 to .4 probably the biggest jump you can do .5 and .6 would be different I believe .btw do not factory reset unless you are sure you have uninstalled the framework for xposed within app. It's not necessary to uninstall the app because they've a factory reset will do that for you but you must remove the framework I have seen it complicate peoples issues

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] spock2112:
I'm also having issues getting 3.2.6 (or 3.2.5) to go from 3.2.4. I've uninstalled HDXposed and deactivated the XPosed framework (Towelroot is still in place along with SuperSu) and uploaded the bin files, rebooted, and get the "last update failed" still. So, whatever HDXposed did to block OTA updates is still in place.

Before doing a factory reset, I wanted to backup the system. "adb -backup -apks -all ..." though starts just fine and then the kindle reboots after just a few items (16Mb). Really not rather start from total scratch - just hoping to update. Any thoughts on how to backup / restore given this odd reboot behavior?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] spock2112:
Figured it out by looking at the source code for HDXposed. HDXPosed is disabling a few things and all we need to do is re-enable them.

So, assuming we've got ADB up and going:

./adb shell

su

pm enable com.amazon.dcp

pm enable com.amazon.dcp.contracts.library

pm enable com.amazon.dcp.contracts.framework.library

exit

exit
​

Bingo! OTA updates are back alive (as are updates via a download of the bin file).
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] TinyGrasshopper:
Some very different methods mentioned in replies

Hello,

I just wanted to confirm steps that people have used in running the update before I go in and tap the wrong thing. I have used the HDX Toolkit v0.94 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2665683) to root my device at the original out of the box version, then upgraded it to 3.2.4 and used HDX Toolkit to install and then run towelroot to reroot it.

When I try to use HDX Toolkit to reenable OTA updates, in order to sideload the update, I'm getting the upload failed message that I've seen other users with.

I have tried the following. At the end of each attempt I would still get the update failed message.

Disable OTA updates with HDX Toolkit

Reboot

Try to run the sideloaded update

Disable OTA updates with HDX Toolkit

Disable the HDXposed module

Reboot

Try to run the sideloaded update

Disable OTA updates with HDX Toolkit

Disable the HDXposed module

Uninstall the Xposed Framework

Reboot

Try to run the sideloaded update, from Device -> System Updates

From looking at a few replies in this thread, I've seen some different sets of steps to do the update

Method 1 - Safestrap

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55718487&postcount=2

Install Safestrap

Rename the .bin update file to .zip

Reboot into Safestrap Recovery

Install the update with SafeStrap

Method 2 - Factory Reset

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55724207&postcount=3

Disable the HDXposed module

Uninstall the Xposed Framework

Uninstall the Xposed Installer App

Reenable OTA Updates with HDX Toolkit

Factory Reset

Try to run the sideloaded update, from Device -> System Updates

With this method, do I leave Safestrap installed, what about SuperSU, before the factory reset?

Method 3 - adb commands

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55836317&postcount=11

Get adb running on your machine

As well as the Kindle drivers and whatnot

With it plugged in, run the following

./adb shell

su

pm enable com.amazon.dcp

pm enable com.amazon.dcp.contracts.library

pm enable com.amazon.dcp.contracts.framework.library

exit

exit

Try to run the sideloaded update, from Device -> System Updates

With this method do I disabled the HDXPosed module and uninstall the XPosed framework? I assume you do.

So which have people gotten to work?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" General] tuanda82:
