what version of rsd lite are you using. looks like it might of wiped the recovery.img?

So did it get part the way through and then stop?

Help, I followed the instruction on a 2.51 SEA defy. RSD Lite 4.9 says its finished and progress PASS. Nothing happens next. Can't seem to turn it on. Is it bricked ? Now what ?
[Defy Android Development] Higgsy:
You are on 2.51 - you can't flash other firmware versions flash the UK 2.51 sbf to get your system back up. There is a note in red about 2.51 in the OP

There are other threads explaining how to get other firmwares working if you are on 2.51 using a boot only .sbf - have a look
[Defy Android Development] sonynamase:
I've got the same problem. I did a clean 2.2 update by Higgsys manual, it was fine for some time, got my apps installed, overclocked to 1000/72, setcpu installed, gingerbread keyboard too. and suddenly it restarted and hanged on M logo. since then I cant flash anything and I get the "Error erasing subscriber unit" error.

I tried flashing boot only files but with no luck.

my screen says Code Corrupt...

any Ideas?

Cheers

Hmm very strange, now that 2 people have got the same thing,

Defy Recovery not working now.

I'm now having problems with recovery and wondering if anyone has any ideas. I've got USB debugging turned off. I reinstalled the Euro SBF and restored all my apps. I rooted with z4root and installed defy_recovery_1216-2022-signed. Recovery says it installs. I tell it to reboot and it does. I tell it to reboot into recovery and it just gets stuck in a boot loop with the moto and blur logo. If I do power/volume down it does the same boot loop.

So I'm flashing again... I think the version of tenfar's recovery I have is bad...

Found defy_recovery-1218-0326-signed.apk that I'm going to try.

That seemed to do it. Hope this helps someone else.

Having problems flashing the 2.34.1 Rom. When I select the .sbf file in RSDLite no details show up in the File Properties pane and the Start button stays greyed out. I've tried reinstalling RSDLite, Drivers, new .sbf file, rebooting with no joy. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Thanks but it's okay now. Just decided to stick with the stock french 2.21 ROM for the time being. Installed JIT/Deodexed, overclocked, scaled and it's working great. Gives me a chance to decide if I want any of the motoblur stuff and if not I'll have another go at flashing the 2.34 ROM. Thanks again.

Really is DEAD!

Ok my phone is DEAD! Yes I have have read alot of posts and used my mate "Google" but they are all saying or pointing to your thread which I have read. I work in ICT so I know to do research first before posting but I'm not getting anywhere. I just hope i'm being a numpty and missed something.

I have an unbranded UK one original version 2.21 and I had successfully flashed with your rom and others by following the steps, but last night I flashed it with PAYS rom and it was fine but then it all went pear shaped when I tried to flash it back to the original 2.21 rom via RSD Lite but it's just a black screen and when plugged in I get a charge light. The Battery is full charge.

I can not enter Bootloader and when I enter system recovery it does not respond when pressing the bottom right hand corner.

RSD does see the phone connected and it runs through the process of flashing it but then it goes to re-boot and nothing. RSD says it's finished, it does not go through the process of re-booting the phone.

In RSD on the phone properties this is all I get:-

defy dead

Hi,

today I did something worse. After upgrading to JRDNEM_U3_3.x (it was'nt good as I hoped) I tried to went back to JRDNEM_U3_2.34.

Now my Defy is dead. Only the white led is glowing when it is plugged on an usb-port. I checked the battery - it is full. There is no possibility to enter the bootmenu.

What can I do?
[Defy Android Development] Passa91:
I get the same thing as a few people here.

Phone is recognised and comes up in device properties, but the ROM is not recognised and the start button remains greyed out. The screen looks like this:

Trying to flash the Chinese ROM.

EDIT: Fixed! For those who are having this problem, rename your sbf file something simple, stick it in your drive root directory, and open it from there. I think it has a problem resolving file paths with ( or ) characters in them, which anyone running 64-bit Windows would, since RSDLite goes into the Program Files (x86) folder.
[Defy Android Development] qpzmaluk:
Does anyone have this problem? I`ve searched and cant find a solution.

I had sense rom on my phone then decided to go back to jboogie rom. I booted into stock recovery(power+vol down) and when i tried to tap bottom right of screen it wouldn`t work so I couldn`t do a factory reset. I then tried volume up=power button to flash sbf through RSDlite. Nothing came on my phone screen at all this time although rsdlite said phone was connected so i started to flash sbf anyway. Then on phone screen it said software update in progress, once it finished flashing, instead of saying rebooting phone on RSDlite it came up with "pass" and phone wont boot or do anything at all now.

Sorry for long message, but hope someone can help.

Thanks

Hey guys, I was coming from 2.1 and tried flashing Froyo from here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14710780#post14710780

I used the firmware.sbf and installed it with RSDlite. I reached Status:"Please manually power up this phone". Result: "In process"

But, my phone is still stuck on the red Motorola boot logo. It just stays there and then reboots.

EDIT: Okay, I entered the bootloader when it switched off for a second. And RSDlite gave me a "PASS". Now, I've disconnected and switched on the phone, but I am still stuck on the Motorola Logo. I never once saw the Android logo that OP spoke of.

What should I do? I'm pretty sure I followed the intstructions to the T. Any help would really be appreciated.

EDIT: Got it to work when I flashed 2.1 SBF.
[Defy Android Development] TudorBlue:
Ive downloaded a retail sbf and have got RSDLite with the sbf in it with all the details on the right. I then boot my phone into the bootloader mode and plug it into my pc. My defy doesnt show up in the left hand window!! The drivers install and I press start. Nothing happens. I click on "show device" but I cannot see it in RSDLite. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks in advance guys

Edit....Im using RSDLite 4.9

Edit 2. I tried the process on my Vista Laptop and it worked fine. I now have an unbranded defy. I downloaded everything straight to my lappy rather than transfer and use the stuff I had previously downloaded to my desktop. Worked like a dream.

I have not flashed any ROM on my phone yet. Was looking for ways to recover phone before I brick it. :P

I bought my phone in India. It came in Android version 2.2.2 with Build number JEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7 which according to this site is for Hongkong Taiwan.

The one listed for India is JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1

Though Build number is JEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7 the BPflex version is "UCAJRDNEMARAB1B50AA03A.0R" which is for JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1

In case I want to recover my phone to factory default which sbf do I flash?

So i tried a bit, until the Battery Low, cant Programm Message got on on the Stock Recovery.

With this i fixed it and reflashed the Stock ROM with RSD lite.

The Programm told me its finished, but the phone wont start up.

I pulled, the Battery, let it charge via the power plug and the MCGuyver solution, but the screen stays dark.

Can anyone help me, please?!
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
You just have to wipe in stock recovery and you can restart. Follow a guide as how to instal CM7.

We have locked bootloader so no replace of recovery.

I think you didn't wipe before flashing.

[Defy Android Development] axq:
Thanks for your answer.

I wiped everything before flashing CyanogenMod

And i cant get into the Recovery, the screen stays black no matter what buttons i press.
[Defy Android Development] labsin:
I think your battery is empty. Try to plug it in. If you get a white light, just let it rest for a couple of hours.

If you are in a bootloop stage, go to the stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Check defy beginners guide as you will probably find all answers there. Read it trough. If you still have problems, try to be more specific on what you can/can't and what you tried.

Sent from my MB525
[Defy Android Development] axq:
thanks, labsin!

it was the battery indeed.

it didnt charge in with the usb cable, no white led

but i cut a usb cable and taped the two wires to the bare battery for about 2 hours.

then everything worked.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uchennadi:
Yeah, I leave mine on unless I'm using wifi calling, in which case I can use wifi for data. You can turn it off if you wanna save battery life tho. It obviously means you can't use anything that uses data, like texts, emails, internet, maybe calls even.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
why would this affect txts and calls? it isn't airplane mode... :confused:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericbell4am:
If you uncheck mobile networks, then its pretty much airplane mode. If you'd like to save battery, then you can set the Network Mode to GSM only and uncheck the "always on mobile data" Will save quite a bit :)

-Cheers

EDIT: Apologies. The always on mobile data keeps a pretty constant connection with the network so downloading can happen faster. Since the connection to the network is already on and active, a download can be plopped in quite fast. It is unnecessary for data connections, but is helpful :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeze[iT]:
FYI I just unchecked it and tested my GMAIL and I still get my e-mails pushed. Lets hope I get better battery life.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ESKIMOn00b:
You will simply see a larger delay when you request the phone to pull data... also push services MAY function and may not...

You may only get gmail when you pick up your phone and use the data some other way... at which point the phone opens up the data connection and any information can flow over data.

I would doubt that the push server will be able to signal the phone to turn on data, so it may check periodically or only catch the push command if you have your data pipe open already (as described above).

No need to, get a microsd card and use that.

I thought partitioning the sdcard only effects the /data and /sdcard partitions.

Still don't understand what your real problem is.
[G Tablet General] photonmedia:
If you did in fact get CWR reinstalled, you should be able to connect it to your PC, go to Mounts and Storage, and mount USB Mass Storage. That should allow you to copy your ROM image over to the device.

Assuming you are using Amon_RAs recovery image then reboot to recovery, nandroid backup (If you wish), wipe all and flash the new rom. Unless you are updating to a newer version of the same rom then you simply flash the rom over the top of your current one.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] WebCobra:
Hi there. I came from a LG Incite right, and I have bought 2 weeks ago a HTC MyTouch 3G. I love the phone, great work to both google and htc. Ok but I ran into a problem. My battery sucks really bad. Everytime I text with google voice, or just browse the web, my battery drains very quickly. I already have bought another battery from ebay and still, the battery drains very quickly.

So the question is, is this serious? Battery life sucks on a mytouch 3g?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DigitalJedi:
There are a few things you should do to maximize battery life. First and foremost get yourself a task killer from the market to kill apps so they aren't always running. That will help a little.

I get 2 days out of my battery and I'm running Cyanogen 6.1 RC1. The tricks I've learned are as follows:

1) Keep your screen as dim as you can stand it. You might consider getting some kind of widget that can toggle brightness. I use WitchPro Widget to toggle everything. I keep it at like 5% indoors and use my widget to brighten the screen if I'm outdoors.

2) Change your screen to timeout in the shortest amount of time possible. That way your screen isn't staying on for a long time when you stop using the phone.

3) Turn wifi and bluetooth off unless you are using them. They will both drain your battery. Again, I use SwitchPro Widget to toggle both of them on and off.

4) Reset your battery stats. The most simple and straightforward way to do this is to drain your battery to 0% and let the phone turn off. Then plug it into the charger and let it get back up to 100%. I even leave it plugged in a couple hours after that for good measure. That will reset your battery stats.

5) Disable haptic feedback. The way I figure it is do I really need my phone to vibrate to let me know I'm typing or doing something? No. Also, you can disable any sounds your keyboard makes as well.
