Hello, so after researching a lot about rooting, I finally tried it on my Motorola Charm. I backed up all the data before i rooted or altered anything. the problem is somehow the backups got corrupted. So my question is this, is it possible to re flash the OS without sending to the manufacturer? Its running 2.1. I had uninstalled some of the bloatware that came on it and motoblur, which i had assumed was safe to uninstall, guess not.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
hmm....if you were able to root shouldn't you be able to use a similar method to flash the rom. Also think about doing a factory restore that should clear up anything that you added.
Ya. All i need is the 2.1 ROM for my phone. But for the life of me i cant find anyone who has it. And the kind people at Motorola are giving me the run around. So if anyone out there has the T mobile Motorola Charm 2.1 ROM then i would be forever grateful!!!
Thanks,
Sam
Problem solved. After hours of searching I finally found my ROM and just RSD flashed it. It was pretty simple and straight-forward.

I have 2 of these and have been waiting for somebody to post an updated or custom ROM, but it seems there hasn't been one yet. I have rooted them with Z4root and that works well. I have to keep defaulting them after a while, because they both eventually start the download hang issue after a week or so. I backed up my data to the sd card and it restores easily enough, but it is a pain that they do not work as they should. If anyone has any updates in this area it would be greatly appreciated.
ROM
Do you have the original boot and restore images? I happened to brick one (the 2.1 version)
Hello everyone.
So, I have a Motorola Defy, which came with android 2.1 when I bought it.
Shortly after, I upgraded it to 2.2.
A few days later CM7 came out for the defy! (GREAT! ROM btw).
All is well for a couple of weeks, when suddenly, my speaker breaks.
Sooooooo...Im gonna take it to be repaired, but first I need to roll back to the latest official rom for the Defy, which is 2.2 (Personal - Argentina).
I flash the chinese rom first, no problems there, then, I flash the nandroid backup of 2.2 (Personal - Argentina), also, no problems.
Finally I unroot the phone, and try, but fail, to remove the recovery app.
The options to do so are simply grayed out.
I've tried wiping data, cache, and partition but no luck.
I've also tried re installing the app, but still, no luck.
So, I turn to you, great minds of android development. Can you please help me with my predicament?
Thanks for your time.
Okay, so I read and read, searched and searched. So far I'm pretty stuck.
I did a ton of research before taking my LG P500h, and flashing the ROM because I wasn't a fan of the Froyo android setup. Did everything properly, ran an nandroid backup, everything that I was told to do.
Rooted using Gingerbreak APK, custom backup using Amon_RA custom recovery. All done using the latest USB drivers LG updated me with.
I am currently with Koodo Mobile here in Canada. Pretty much an offspring of Telus Mobile. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7 the 6.5.7 beta build, and the phone is not bricked, or giving me any errors or hassle.
The problem is that I cannot use the 3G network or use the Koodo network. It only defaults to Telus towers. No android market showing up anywhere either. From what I've found on here, there doesn't seem to be a bugfix solution to this, and no settings I've been able to change on the phone has helped my situation. Maybe I missed something.
So, I decided to take it back to where I began, back to Froyo 2.2.1 . This is where it all went wrong. Tried going through the Nandroid backup and restoring that, I was given an " Error : run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via adb! " . Okay, I'm not exactly a Java programmer so I'm a little intimidated. I do however have Android SDK going on my laptop.
Some more searching revealed the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe flashing method. I got the right KDZ file for my Koodo phone, V10V_00.kdz and began the process. Everything checks out, good to go, started update. Wait, phone not found? WTF! My laptop recognizes it, says my phone is connected and working. No problems here, just can't find it? UGH.
So, I need someone to either give me info on getting it to flash the kdz, or get Cyanogen Mod 7 working properly on my device.
Please help, I'll fully admit I'm a noob to this, and not an expert programmer either. But, I know computers and I fully understand what I have done so far to my phone. Just not enough to fix it.
Okay, I have gotten some things working on my phone. I think I am settling into Cyanogen Mod nicely. I missed the Google apps flash zip so I have my market and stuff. Its a shame the data does not work though. Oh well I will keep updating as it gets developed.

GOT IT! finally...
Finally got my phone recovered to OEM specs. I had to restore my computer back to before I installed all my drivers and reinstalled all my USB drivers from there. Phone connected to USB properly, ran the KDZ updater, and it sucessfully installed the V10V kdz. All is well.
finally good luck.. enjoy androiding..
When you flashed the cyanogen mod rom what program did you use to flash the phone? And how did you make a rom backup? When you reflashed the stock rom did it still have all the original bloatware?
LG Optimus P500h TELUS became dead during Upgrading
Hi everybody!
I have LG Optimus P500h Telus. I purchased from Kijiji. I don't have any papers or documents for that so i cannot claim its warranty.
I was trying to upgrade its version during upgrading my device was stuck so I disconnected and plugged out its battery and inserted again. When i tried to turn it on. It never turned on again. It never ever appeared emergency mode again. I tried for several times by pushing home, power, and volume up and down buttons, and escape buttons. Now its just like dead. It never showed any sign of life. If anybody have any idea what happened with it and how I can recover or where I should take this one for repairs. I am in toronto, canada.
Your help and suggestions will be appreciated.

Please.
Hi All,
I own a Motorola Defy. I am kind of new to android developement. i had 2.2 on my phone and wanted to upgrade, followed all the steps available online for cyanogen 7.1, liquid arc, etc. with all the ROM's i had the same problem. Everything goes fine, until i reboot my phone. The moment i do that after installing new ROM. I loose network connectivity and a pop up msg comes up continously saying android.phone.com stopped responding. From there i have to do the complete wipe once again. i read in some forum about flashing radio, however i dont see this option in my recovery mode at all.
Anybody who knows how to resolve this????????
I looked this up in the forums. This applies to going from 2.1 to 2.2, but sounds like it may help you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=947578
Thank you for the reply.
However, I was already running Froyo on my defy. I can also go back to that via RSD or by restoring it to the ROM i backedup before i started this testing. My concern is why i am not able to Install this custom ROM and make it working when all others can do it without any issues. I am still running Cyanogen nightly ROM (2.3.7). I also know the moment i restart my phone it will loose network connectivity and will keep getting those pop msgs. Is there a way to curb that.
Appreciate the help...
You can look for MIUI for the defy. I have also MIUI on my Defy and it works perfect

Thanks for your reply....
I was missing the defy baseband update. Thank fully that fixed the network connectivity issue. Now i am running ICS 4.0.1 perfectly. Except the camera everything is working smooth. Had little issue with restore from Titanum backup. But an unregistered version of TB fixed it.
Hey guys,
So today I decided to update to a new Lollipop rom. I've been through three so far, and each have the same problem: upon first boot, the phone will try to activate itself and fail, and will never be able to connect to any data services. However, on my old 4.4.4 rom everything works fine. I've tried restoring to stock, various roms, and different recoveries, as well as editing my APN (which never saved when I tried to). I'd rather not be stuck without Lollipop for my phone's life, so can anyone help?
Thanks!
Are you on Sprint?

youll need the sprint stuff for lollipop. i have no idea where they would be gotten. maybe you can try the old sprint "fix". search it, i bet you find it.
