i had a flash problem

i tried to reinstall a new rom on my htc vox. i've done all things right, USPL 1.16, phone entered bootloader. then i tried to install the new rom and at 3% i recieved the following message: flash error.
i tried with a couple of roms, same thing. why did that happen? then i tried to reinstall an official rom, didnt work, SPL changed to 1.34, and phone went to service, new mainboard, back to orange rom.
so, why did i recieve that message? i dont want to repeat the procces without finding the reasons why it didnt work.
sorry for bad english

[SBF-ROM]MIUI 1.5.27 English

Here is a test SBF version of MIUI latest (27/5/11) with English patch applied and including Swype and full battery percentage display too. Replaced data icons with sense ones as the green ruins the whole look!
Please do a nandroid first as i'm not sure if this even works on other peoples Defy. I tested and it works on mine.
To install:
You need to be on Nordic rom or be using it as a base for your current rom such as CM7
Install my sbf through Moto flasher. Let boot. Report.
Note: May not be full English on first boot. Go to settings and re-set English language, reboot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache it seemed to do the job for me.
DOWN!Download me now!

Thanks, man

Remember this is a test please don't blame me if your wife leaves you.

Same
Swyped by my Defy using CM-7 beta 6 with the XDA premium App

Hmm seems to not work for others... I wonder what would need to be done differently.
Removed download link for now.

i think the problem is when we make a data factory reset from normal recovery which makes 2-nd init unusable. i am trying this baut for build spanish miui, and i think a method that would work is first install an original froyo->boot it completely->reboot to bootloader and flash the moded sbf. i will report back if works.

I tried it, flashed over CM7 without wiping and it worked. Then tried a full wipe with stock recovery and it sticks at the M logo.
I was on nordic 3.4.2.177 base before I flashed. After wiping had to reflash full nordic and tried again, still stuck on Motorola logo.

I made a Custom sbf with CM7 nightly build before,

Came across the same problem, it seems that we should modify the dumped CG39 a bit.

I think it would be greate&enough if we would have a SBF which only contains Custom Bootmenu so it's small and flashes very fast.
After flashing that CWM can be used to flash.

This is what you are looking for. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14223629#post14223629

That Thread was created 2 minutes before my post
Thank you very much

I'm sorry if it's a dumb question, I'm new to this, what's the point of a sbf? Why not just a nandroid?

It's quite useful to have a SBF. If something is going wrong, let's say you'll try to put one nandroid which is not successfully applied or you by mistake wipe your phone using stock recovery you'll have to flash fist a Froyo SBF and then you can install 2nd Init and apply the nandroid, while by having the CM7/MIUI SBF you'll have only to apply it and that's it.

So, basically , it's for the lazy ones instead of flashing nordic, root, install 2ndInit and Miui, you just flash this sbf. 5 minutes less and a chance of bricking the phone. I'm going for the long way.
We should focus on finding and reporting bugs on the basic Miui, this would really help make a better release.

wife vs modding

[Q] Recover stuck Defy easy :)

OK first i must apologize. I have a bad spelling but u will manage to understand.
First i`ve installed CM7 update throught 2ndinit. All ok, but i`m just not geting a WOOOW. Is ok but it has a lot of glitches. I`ve managed to customize my 2.2.2 to get high performance whitout any force close and got 1000MHz throught MilestoneOverclock. After that disspointment (just for me, i`m sure that those smart guys do the best they can but 2.2.2 is just enought for me) i`ve flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002...sbf directly whitout wipeing or anything that had to be done. After this it was stuck at android logo. Tried to hard reset was unable to do that. managed to enter clockworkmode but was unable 2 do anything. After searches on forum and other thing i`ve installed varios .sbf versions none worked. The last version i`ve instaled was JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF or JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf ofcourse the same thing happened, stucked at android logo after i`ve found a thread for recovery and i can`t remember which one but flashed Tmo_2.2.1-3.4.2-107-boot-devtree-ONLY.sbf . After that it started ok. I`ve used CEE sbf because that is my original stock rom or the same version showned on my phone before CM7 update. I`ve googled and saw that a lot of defy users have the same problem. I sure helped me so i just wish it would help you to. If that was usefull to you please hit the thanks button. Defy is a really good small priced smartphone.
I`ve used RSD 5.3.1 in bootloader Power Defy holding power btn and volume up btn.
Dono if it can help but i think that if ur phone has a functional bootloader and a 09.10 version it will surely do the job the easyest way. Goodluck
Bine Nepoate. M-a rezolvat bine si o sa stiu pe viitor. Ms oricum de completare

If you didn't flashed a Full Gingebread SBF (2.3.4) then you shouldn't ever flash the JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf because this Eclair SBF has two CG with code 5. This Eclair SBF is used to go back to Froyo after flashing a full SBF of leaked GB (see more details here), therefore if you never flashed a FULL GB SBF the best approach to revive your Defy is to do a full wipe from stock recovery and then flash the official Froyo SBF for your country/region.

+1 for nepotu...i just wanted to say that i had a scare like that to the first time i reverted back to the original firmware
just wipe the phone in stock recovery (data/cache) by holding vol down and power the little android guy will show up and then press both vol up and down at the same time
and then u can flash the sbf cee for romania
remember that first boot will take longer...but i guess u know that

[Q] Getting boot loop on flashing my phone with custom rom

Hi all i own a Spice MI 410 phone, i tried to install CM9 custom ROM on it using clock work recovery mod but each time after successful updation my phone doesn't reboot! its stuck at boot screen. If i restore it it runs fine. I really want to install a custom rom please help. I cleared all data, dalvik, cache etc. I even tried it using rom manager where it automatically cleans cache but each time its stuck in boot loop! i am really at lost at what to do whole Saturday of mine was wasted doing this, please guide thanks.

Sorry to know, well if you find any solution then do share it here.

1) Are you sure the ROM you downloaded is for your phone?
2) Did you try downloading the ROM again? (You could have gotten a bad download.)

Sounds like a soft brick i had this happen several times. Start up in recovery, restore backed up rom, reboot, redownload the rom you are trying to flash, boot recovery, wipe your cache delv, and factory, than try again. If that doesnt work the rom you downloaded is bad. If you didnt make a recovery, take your SD out put it in your computer, download a rom go it that you know definitely works, put it back in your phone and than juat flash the working rom.

Fixing Permission while in recovery has done miraculous things for me and I did not see that you mentioned that. Also on some devices (HTC namely) if you are not running the right bootloader version some ROM's won't boot, EX running CyanogenMod ROM on hboot 1.58. Search your device forum and see if the answer lies there...and whatever it is that is causing this, once resolved please pot back so that others can learn from your experience.

Well the problem is my phone (Spice CSL MI 410) comes in different models in different countries and even different types like cdma/GSM etc. Its Spice CSL MI 410,Wellcom, Motorola Truimph, Huwaie Ideos X6 etc etc So i don't know if this Rom fits my model as here only Ideos x6 forum is present and i downloaded from there, still i will try to redownload it

[Q] Flashed 4G recovery onto 3G phone

Okay.
So, I have tried to UTSE on this and found a thread that directed me to flash a new radio (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884) which I have done but the fastboot is still not letting my phone respond.
So...
My phone is a GT 19023.
I'd updated to jelly bean awhile ago but was having some serious performance problems and wanted to flash back down to ICS or GB. Of course, the recovery wasn't working so I went to Nexus Hacks and downloaded his recovery files, stupidly I didnt notice it was 4G specific (crespo4g), just that it was for ICS and JB. The recovery seemed to work ok, had the new touchscreen version, but then I tried to install a stock GB ROM from my SD card. At the end it seemed stuck on writing radio. Wasnt doing anything so assumed it was ok to reboot. When it rebooted every process was failing so I tried to do the fastboot flash recovery again and the phone just wouldnt respond.
Tht's where I am at now.
Saw another thread and got directed to the link above to flash the radio.
Did that, used the UCKF1 radio, no problems installed fine but the phone still won't respond to fastboot flash recovery using recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.
Can anyone point me in the right direction PRETTY PLEASE! I'm not a techie guy and its my only phone :crying:

You did a lot wrong here. NEVER DO SOMETHING UNTIL YOU HAVE COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF IT
Also you flashed the wrong radio. I would suggest you to stop as where you are right now.
You need to go complete stock first, by flashing the factory image.
