SORRY FOR BAD LANGUAGE...but i really realy realy need help

hi all,
heres the deal. i rooted my defy with superoneclick, it worked great.
heres the problem and what i think is the cause but i need a solution!
PROBLEM: i switch my phone on, it starts normally
motoblur screen
then
T mobile screen
then
the normal swipe unlock
i ulnlock it fine but as soon as i do the wallpaper dissapears/goes black. i cannot access any apps. none of the buttons work (menu,home,return/back,search) but the info bar/ menur bar thing at the top that swipes down works fine and what ever is in it works fine i.e when i plug into usb im able to choose portal and tools and those other 3. but when i just leave my phone on lock then press power button/activate unlock screen. it will show normal background with time and everything looks normal.
the CAUSE ( i think )
i was installing apps and deleting motoblur stuff. but it it was one of those two, i isntalled an app and i deleted a file at the same sort of time. the app installed was some startup app killer or a firewall of some type. or it could have been that i deleted an apk file that had a real short name i think, like blur.apk
PLEASE HELP ME. I need a solution FAST its my first smartphone ever and i paid alot for it. if you need my phone info it was
moto defy android 2.1 uk version but then rooted with super one click
THANK YOU IN ADVANCED FOR ANY HELP
ps i have installed rsd lite and it is recognised by it but thats as far as i know what to do...

Did you get my PM lol saw you in the other forum.
try to do a factory reset on the phone from the recovery menu. if anything, reflash your rom or pick a new one. I had this issue with a few mods/roms/kernals aswel.

i sent you a pm too. thanks for being so quick to reply. but i dont know how to do that stuff im a noob this is my first androidsmartphone ever but im a very quick learner

all good. For my phone. ( droid incred.) when the phone is off i hold power and the volume up key. then i select recovery using the volume keys. I know the buttons to push are different on some phones so you might neeed to use google to find the right 2 keys to hold down while booting

i currently have it in boot loader mode, it says battery ok, ok to program, transfer mode, usb. and thats all it says. no recovery options at all

Ok, found this in another forum. this is how to get into your boot menu i guess:
The boot menu happends when you press the volume down key and the power button.
When it takes you to the triangle part press the volume up key and the power button this action brings up another menu on which you can reboot and other settings.

the first triangle with exclamation mark inside it with the lil andorid man comes up, but the second menu doesnt, im holding vol down and power to get up this image, the to get second one you say to do vol up and power...i tried it, held it for a while but still no joy

ok, give this a try
"If you swipe the bottom right corner when you see the triangle you will get a menu. From there you can reboot or reset"
Still looking for more

nope sorry still dont work. i really appreciate you spending your time doing this it realy does mean ALOT. thank you i hope the solution isnt far away!

Ok, this is from the t-moble forms:
One suggestion...
Pull the battery.
Hold down the volume down key and press the power button.
Continue to hold the volume down key until you seem something happening on the screen.
This should boot you into recovery mode, you'll see a little green Android stood next to a yellow warning sign.
Press the bottom-right corner of the screen, a menu should appear.
Use the volume keys to scroll up and down.
Scroll to 'Wipe DATA/factory reset' and press 'ok' (bottom-left of screen) - you may need to re-confirm in a sub-menu.
After the wipe completes, scroll to the 'reboot' option and press 'ok'.
If you do that, you completely wipe the handset, same as if you performed a full factory reset on the handset.
Obviously, this will get rid of anything you have on the handset but if your only other option is an exchange, you've nothing to lose really.

http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discussions/index?page=forums&topic=801038121b7ab9012dee673eff007b6f If you wanted to look. its the 2nd guy down. issue has nothing to do with this but same steps

it says it worked that it did the reset properly but still same original problem.

it says first line....
E:cant open /cache/recovery/command
that is in the recovery mode / reset

do you have a rom that you can try to flash? any rom really just to rule out a rom issue. you can try to find a rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=855&order=desc&page=1

im going to give it a try ill get back to you to let you know how its going within the next 20 mins, thanks for all your help

here is an option for a factory reset.
1. Turn the power off on the Defy (if it's frozen, pull the battery out & reinsert it)
2.Hold the volume down button
3. Press and hold the button until the device turns on
4. You'll get a menu that allows FASTBOOK, RECOVERY, CLEAR STORAGE, and SIMLOCK
5. Select CLEAR STORAGE, by pressing the Volume Down button
6. Press and release the Power
7. Now just confirm your decision Volume Up for YES, Volume Down for NO

it says on rsd lite . fail flashing process. unable to retrieve initialization values from INI (0x07029);phone connected
isnt working for some reason

that menu...mine says
from top to bottom
Android system recovery <2a>
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
(then at the bottomit says...)
E:cant open /cache/recovery/command.
but yet it will still go through the process like it is working but it doesnt fix it

Did you try the top option. Android system recovery <2a>
i wish i had that same phone to replicate this problem

im sorry i didnt write it clear enough the top android recovery thing isnt an option, its like the header/title for the program or page its written in red. the options to choose are in blue

[Q] Restore to factory system wipe

Hey guys,
I've got a Transformer on the way, and when it arrives, I plan on installing all sorts of crap on it to figure out which apps I like best. Once I've determined that, I'd like to completely wipe my system clean and installing only the apps I liked best.
So my question is: how does one completely reset the system (complete filesystem wipe) and restore it to the way it was when I unboxed it.

you go into the bootloader and do factory reset.

Thanks, seshmaru. I'm glad it's that simple. This does wipe the cache and everything else, right?

I don't think it wipes cache, but I know a hard shutdown (holding power for 10~15 seconds) does wipe it.

Great! So a hard shut down (holding power for 10-15 seconds) followed by going into the bootloader (VOL_DOWN + POWER [continue holding VOL_DOWN when it starts booting until you get a prompt]) and doing a 'Data Wipe' should theoretically get me to a brand new state, right?

Yessir, it should.

Awesome. Thank you very much for the help.

You can also initiate it from the settings in android and it wipes all data you had put on it, leaving all system files, so it's like a fresh start.

Yeah this works. Just did it, wipes (all user) cache and data. settings/privacy/factory data reset. It took about 2mins.

I've try to do this but at the end when press VOL_UP the screen shows android logo with exhalation mark at middle of the logo.
Any idea for this?

once you see the words at the top left corner, if you push Vol up within about 5 sec you'll get the stock recovery which you are seeing. Do the same thing, Vol down plus power button but wait a tad bit till you see the reboot/clear data option.

Nexus S 4G Bootloop

I do not know where to post this besides here. I have a SPRINT Nexus S 4G phone with stock Ice Cream Sandwhich. Never rooted or touched bootloader or anything of that sort.
After updating to ICS via OTA.. the phone loves to randomly reboot itself whenever it feels like. Annoying but I could live with it. Anyways I take my phone out of my pocket today and it is turned off... annoyed I turn it back on.. google logo.. animated squares... and then stuck at squares...(Bootloader shows locked etc, recovery does nothing)(I have to pull battery to reboot phone... back to squares though) I understand I will lose data if I have to wipe the phone.. but it looks like I am not going to be able to back up any of my phone numbers.. precious pictures or music? I do not have insurance through Sprint.
Whats the next logical step to fixing this?
EDIT: Bootloader information
Product Name - Herring
HW VERSION - REV 34
BOOTLOADER VERSION - D720SPAKE1
BASEBAND VERSION - D720SPALC1
CARRIER INFO - SPA
SERIAL NUMBER - 33324E0247AF00EC
LOCK STATE - LOCKED
EDIT 2: Downloaded all of the files needed to reflash / stock ICS.. I already use PDANET so I don't need phone drivers.. my phone was in debug mode before it crashed. Plug it in.. get to the Triangle information icon..
"fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img"
< waiting for device >
Ideas? Or how do I properly do this by myself? One Click Stock cannot detect my phone

Ok follow this steps
1. Turn off your phone
2. Press and hold volume down and power button at the same time.
3. Youll see an android logo. Now tick your volume down to navigate to recovery select by pressing power button
4 in recovery use volume rockers also to navigate through options and power button also to select.
5. Now select wipe cache. I think stock recovery have wipe dalvik too. So wipe it too.
6. Reboot
If if your phone happens to reboot itself again after doing this steps. Repeat my procedure this time wipe your data you can select this also on stock recovery.and start from scratch. Dont worry your pictures , musics, videos and other stuffs on your sdcard will not be touch. It will just clear all your installed apps.
Sent from my Nexus S®

Ok. I have had the same problem on my Google Nexus S with the boot loop and also the random reboots. This is what I have done to fix this problem.
1. I download an automatic task killer and set it to like every 10 - 20min to clear running apps.
OR
2. Go to your recovery by going into fastboot mode going select recovery. Once in recovery, press the volume down. I hold both up and down and the power button together. You should come up with a menu that says reboot system now, apply update from sd card, wip data factory reset or wipe cache partition. Then navigate to the wipe data menu and select it. Hit yes and there you go. It worked for me. Reply and tell me if it worked for you. FYI, it should reboot by it self, if not just select reboot now and reboot it.

[Q] Restoring phone to factory settings using ODIN

I flashed a rom using the guidance of the Samsung Galaxy S3 toolkit. Everything went well--until the rom--which is the Ilusion v2.0 [4.2.2], (found in the Sprint Galaxy S3 Android Development section)--got stuck in an endless animation right hefore the phone fully restarted to the home screen.
It's just stuck in this endless animation, like it's perpetually loading.
It's very frustrating. I want to restore the entire thing to its factory setting. Is there anyway to do this using Odin? Maybe when the phone is in Odin Mode?

First before you return to stock I would recommend fully powering the device off and then booting into recovery mode by holding the power button + home button + volume up button until you feel a vibration and see some small blue text in the upper left hand corner of your phone's screen, then continue holding the home button + volume up button until you enter recovery mode. Once in recovery mode select the option's to wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, and perform a factory reset. After you have done those three things select the "reboot system now" option and the phone should then reboot and power on normally and enter into Android no longer getting stuck on the boot animation. If you do however want to return to complete stock you use Odin to flash the stock firmware for your phone which can be downloaded from here I would reccomend checking outthis video on how to re-flash the stock firmware for the Sprint Galaxy S3.

[Q] Nexus 5 No Command Stock Recovery

Hi!
I have recently purchased a Nexus 5. On the day of the purchase, I received an OTA update for camera issues (it currently says build KOT49H). However, although I belive this install went through, as it changed Android version from 4.4 to 4.4.2, it didn't work as expected during installation. It froze during the Android robot screen, while it was installing. Bottom-line, now that I enter recovery, the first thing I see is a dead Android with a red triangle on it and the message "no command" underneath. If I press any button, the menu appears and I can choose the options. However, sometimes if I press volume up, instead of going up the menu, it closes it and shows the dead android background image only. I press again, and see the menu again, but can't go up, only down.
The phone is stock rom, not rooted, not altered in any way! I have attached several pictures in this respect.
Any clue about this issue?
Thanks!

If you reboot your system from recovery, you are stuck on "no command" screen as well?
Try wiping cache partition and rebooting. if it doesn't help, then do a factory reset and see if it helps.

No, the phone actually works if I reboot it normally. Only when I enter recovery I see this dead android robot. When I initially saw this dead android after update, I did to a wipe cache from recovery, as well as factory reset both from phone, as well as from recovery. Still the dead android in recovery remains, as wallpaper image...

That's the stock recovery and this is the way it should be. It's perfectly normal.

Thanks, I guess you're right! It's deceiving, however, that Google chose this image as default for recovery! I thought something went wrong...

However, I have reasons to believe that something is not right! When I enter recovery, I see the dead android, which is perfectly normal. In order to see the options (reboot, wipe cache, factory reset etc), I have to press volume up. If I press volume down, I go down the menu. If I press volume up, I should go up the menu. However, this leads to disappearing of the menu and back to the dead android background. If I press vol up, I see the menu again, with the cursor on the last position... I can't go up the menu. Is this normal behavior?
For instance, I had to select "wipe cache" and only after this process ended, by pressing vol up I was able to move through the options and choose reboot. Vol up in this case wasn't making the menu to disappear.
Thanks!
