I broke my phone.
I had a Spanish 2.1 defy rooted, and I wanted 2.2 so I installed System recovery and downloaded the UK Blur froyo rom. I installed and everything in the process went well, but I ended up stuck in the Motorola logo. What can I do or flash to the phone? please help me.
I knew stuff about android with my XT720 and Milestone but this phone is really different.
Update: I can't use any firmware either! When I try to flash it says ''failed, unable to charge ini files'' but this was happening even before I restored a backup
Please help me!
if you flashed a 2.2 ROM via RSD Lite, you cant get back to 2.1
go into the RecoveryMode volumedown+power and do a fullwipe (data+cache).
Restart. if that didn't work, than flash another 2.2 ROM with RSD Lite, which must be no older than that one, which you flashed first.
if no, than you'll get back to 2.1, when you go into the bootloader-mode with volumeup+power and flash via RSD Lite a 2.1 ROM ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 )

Rsd Lite will give me that error with every firmware I try.
Recovery mode turns on but what can I do?
Which version of RSDLite are you using? Did you tried to download the sbf again?
Did you flashed 2.2 directly or that "downgradable" stuff?

I did not flash anything. Even before when the phone was working, RSD gave me that error. I got rsd 4.6.
I restored the UK Blur froyo backup with the Recovery menu, and I had made a backup of my 2.1, but I can't access to it. Just to the standard recovery mode.

Ok then, it is easy now to do it, you need to get a 2.1 SBF, then use THIS version of RSDLite
Flash, and reboot, if you stuck in bootloop just wipe and then you will be fine
do u have the defy drivers installed?

The problem is that he was using RSDLite version 4.6, he needs to use 4.9 to work.

I downloaded it and installed that, but instead of shwoing 4.9, it says 4.3 and does not recognize any phone (defy, rokr e8)

Uninstall all versions of RSDLite that you have, this is 4.9, i'm using it.
Then reinstall again, make sure you have the latest drivers : http://developer.motorola.com/docstools/USB_Drivers/Handset_USB_Driver/?pubid=987654
It's working now, but something wird happened. instead of opening flash image, it just started saying ''flashing phone''.
I guess it's just a mistake.
question, after this 2.1 I flashed and if it works, can I flsh a 2.2 firmware?
which one (with blur)?
thanks again.
update:
I flashed this froyo:
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR_SIGN
it works ok, but 3G and wifi don't work :/

That one doesn't have BLUR as you can see in the name, and i think there are problems flashing directly after 2.21, many people had to go thru 2.51, did you wiped after flash?

I was messing with the boot fequency and trying to OC it... and i totally screwed it up... Its now in the boot screen but kept looping...
I tried to Factory reset it, but didnt work... I tried to flash it.. but the RSD Lite detected it as S Flash OMAP3630 and it won't let me press start...
I hv few solutions in mind, but im not sure if it will work...
1. Enable USB debugging mode withOUT booting into the system...
2. Access the root file without booting into the system...
3. Is there a safe mode for MS2?
Plzzzzz helpppp me
I'm sadly not all that great with recovering these phones but I can tell you that I had *exactly* the same problem and found that SBF was the solution. You may very well have the wrong version of the app which I sadly did at first and had the same problem.
The solution was to find and download RSD Lite v4.9 (or above) and that should recognize the milestone 2 and allow you to flash it properly! Here's a place you can find all of the SBF files for the MS2:
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
Hope that's helpful to you and you get your phone working again!
Edited: Also, you can download RSD Lite 4.9 from http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f166/rsd-lite-4-9-released-1106430/
Hello,
Do you just test to remove the battery at first ???
duplicated post....
Thanks for replying! But I have RSD 4.9 installed... I installed the Motorola driver (latest version as well) But the SBF can't detect the phone in sth like (AutophoneID) mode... But was detected in First-Come-First Serve Mode... as S Flash OMAP3630...
I tried to flash it by choosing the SBF in that [...] box, but [Start] box is still grayed out...

pull the battery, put it back in, hold down camera button, vol down and power at the same time to boot into bootloader. rsd should recognize it then

Did you install Dexter's Froyo 1.3? You have to do that before you can install bugfix-3. Did you:
1. nandroid > restore > stock221v13
2. apply update > stock221v13-bugfix-3
3. wipe data and cache
Thanks a lot Mioze7Ae...
WORKED
Try holding camera button and volume down while turning on the phone and see if your xt720 can get into bootloader,which can be recognized by rsd lite.Flash a sbf then.
Good luck.
hey guys,
I flashed the "voodooChargeKernel4" tar file win Odin. Then I flashed the CWR recovery through Odin ( i know I ****ed up). It wouldnt boot and was stuck on the samsung screen. I pulled the battery and went back into Odin to reflash the voodoochargekernel again. Now it's stuck on a screen with a phone, a computer and orange triangle.
Well i got the same tar file to flash in Odin by switching USB ports, but now Im still stuck on the samsung screen
crap..i dont know what to do. I used the CWR recovery files from this thread on someone's recommendation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111486. Now the phone wont turn on at all except download mode and anything I flash says fail.
Odin is flaky you may need to try a different USB port.
If that does not work try to remove the device in device manager and unplugging the phone and plugging it back in to the computer,.
And flash the below package

thank but that didnt work either. Its in an endless boot into recovery for some reason.
I had the problem, except mine wasn't going into recovery; it rebooted after every boot animation.
What worked for me was, using Odin, re-flashing the Kernel, unplug the phone, plug the phone in again, and then flashing Altered Beast, then turning the phone on. It didn't work if i tried them one at a time.
after u get the phone in download mde. re-install the battery and then flash via odin.
if your getting bootloop then try in recover to wipe data

Yup, did that too. That allowed my phone to actually boot, but then I got stuck in recovery.
i am so confused, i did the OTA UPDATE and retained root, flashed the new deodexed 2.3.6 rom.
verified that i am on the new 2.3.6
just for giggles i tried to install version 4 supercharged, and it worked! all seems to be working, except the volume control from the problems from the deodexed rom 2.3.6
however when i check to see what version i have, it says 2.3.5
55.11.16.mb865.ATT.en.us
i did a reboot, it it has retained 2.3.5.
so what am i running?
i wonder if i could flash the FXZ since the phone says that im on 2.3.5???
answered my own question.
i tried to flash back via rsd lite and it stopped at 6/20.
did vol up/down
NORM BOOT and im back to normal'
2.3.6
supercharged V4
phone reports 2.3.5

That's because the underlying scripts are from 2.3.6, but because you flashed sc v4 all of the apps under system/apps were replaced from 2.3.5 essentially you are running 2.3.5 but you phone thinks it's 2.3.6 and none of the patches and fixes that came with 2.3.6 work.

How did you flash it? If you are planning to flash it through RSD Lite you have to mod the xml's. If you have root you can just flash the Stock deodxed 2.3.5 that's posted on the dev section

Fall of Enosis said:
This happens because the flashing failed when you tried to flash the wrong firmware. When the phone boots, it runs certain system checks, and if it fails those checks, as a safe mode, it throws itself into Fastboot. It will do this because it is unsure if the phone is safe to boot.
You can boot it normally from fastboot by hitting power, (screen shuts off) hold down both volume rockers, and hit the power button. Then select boot normally.

If you want to get back to stock, FXZ back to one of the stock AsianRetail firmware which can be found here.
If you don't know what FXZ is, read here.
Root from here.
If for some one reason this firmware does not work for you (it didn't for me, it got stuck at lockscreen everytime the phone booted and I couldn't unlock the phone) you could use this firmware.
Root from here.
Hope it helps!
Cheers.
Thank you so much buddy
