hi, everybody! i'm having a problem with clockworkmod and/or recovery. when i tap on "flash clockworkmod recovery" in rom manager, it offers me 3 motorola phones (milestone, droid x, droid 2), but my defy is not among them. What should i do? Whenever I try to manually boot into recovery, a triangle with an exclamation mark in it and the android logo appears, and nothing happens. I'm on 2.2 now (flashed with rsd), but the same thing happened on stock 2.1. Is there any way around cwm to install cyanogenmod 7? Help, please!

thx, it worked! but i successfully bricked my phone (i checked wipe and backup when installing rom, was that a mistake?), it shows nothing but the notification bar, and a blank screen with the title "set-up", and no buttons work. What can I do? RSD lite recognizes the phone, but can't flash any sbf's... :S

Not sure what you've figured out here yet but....... If all else fails and you need to flash an sbf, RSD is REALLY weird sometimes. It used to work great on both my pc's and suddenly one day NOW BOTH PC'S REFUSE TO COOPERATE WITH RSD!! RSD will recognize the phone on both but instantly fails.... Sometimes now I don't even get a start button. Even when I do though if fails right away.
sbf_flash in linux works perfectly EVERY TIME

Have you solved your problem?
I've had some difficulties flashing different sbf's as well. I just kept trying flashing different sbf's (wipe after each try) until it worked. Not sure if the sbf's or the rsd was the problem.

I had the same issue. A reflash of factory firmware needs to be done to get the phone to bootup again, load the sbf version you previously had to get it working again.
Reflash instructions and all the stuff you need are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674
Once this is done you can recover your backup using CWM.
I still cant find out how to install a custom ROM. Would really appreciate it if someone pointed me in the right direction
Had serendipity vii, tried to install a theme. It bricked the phone.
used odin 3. restored the phone to factory.
tried rooting again and tried to put serendipity back on
didn't work
tried a bunch of different ways
then on my last attempt used odin to try and load serendipity vii. it stoped at "get PTI for Mapping...Firmware update start...Removed!...Completed. All threads completed (succedd 1/ failed 0)
now the thing won't even start in download mode or samsung screen.
the only thing I can think of is the battery died. but its been plugged in for a while now and still the thing is dead.
any ideas out there for the n00b?
Im beyond my limited capacity...
thanks
First make sure your using the factory Samsung cable. Your battery may have died but you should be able to get into download mode without the battery. Start Odin >plug cable into computer > volume down > plug in cable.
Too late now but, I don't believe you can use Odin to install Serendipity, thats probably what bricked your phone.
I think the PIT is screwed up - gtg's ultimate unbrick does include a fixed PIT.
The following has never failed to enter download mode for me:
Pull battery and reinsert
DO NOT power up
Hold VolUp + VolDn while inserting the USB cable into the phone
Note that if things are really screwed up, download mode shows a different screen - a "phone-to-PC" instead of the usual "android construction worker" screen.
and even while it shows that screen u can still restore, try the GTG unbrick method , it should work.

I'm stumped with this issue of my Motorola Razr HD LTE XT925 Rogers version 4.1.2 being in a boot loop. It started when I did a factory reset to try and fix some camera issues that I was having it started up with the Motorola red M icon then went to proceed with the factory reset with the android icon with the spinning blue object then restarts and just does a loop I have tried some steps that I found that I will list but all are unsuccessful and I did try them several times. It is stock firmware but was rooted with one click rooting program can't remember the name I did nothing else to the firmware.
Power + volume down for 10 seconds (simulates a battery pull)
Stock recovery tried wiping data and cache and then rebooting
Tried to use the boot menu normal start up and factory options
I did however get it to boot to the Rogers logo screen once but it just froze and had to restart it
I am currently trying get ADB tool to installed and get it working to see my phone as well as RDS Lite 6.1.6 it wont show any info about the phone but when in fastboot mode RDS Lite see it as connected in fastboot but no info about the phone shows up in the top left box as it has shown before also tried Super ADB Tool it show nothing at all I will continue to try and get the tools working.
Any help in getting the phone to boot normally is greatly appreciated.
I was also wondering if any body knows a good way to completely wipe the razr XT925 and restore the stock firmware that would also help.
OK so I have ADB installed and working I think put my XT925 in fast boot mode then I put in code adb devices in to the windows command console but show nothing listed and my phone says it is in fastboot mode and usb is connected and windows sees it as well but not ADB. There is no errors ether I am so confused as to why ADB and RSD show no info about my phone? I will see if its any of my drivers that are missing.
I went ahead and tried to flash my phone with RSD lite 6.1.6 with no luck the boot loop is preventing it from proceeding with the flash is this just a lost cause and there is no fix for it. The only thing I can think of is that I have to unlock the boot loader is that even an option when I can't even get boot into android? Any one got any ideas?
I was messing a round with my phone and try to get it working with any of the tools and had turned of the phone to stop it from constantly showing the red M icon and the android icon with the blue spinning object over and over but still had the phone plugged in to the computer and was looking in device manger in windows and seen this QHUSB_DLOAD with no drivers for it and looked at the VID & PID ids (USB\VID_05C6&PID_9008
) and searched for drivers thinking that is what is missing for my phone as I have never see it before and it is Qualcomm modem flashing port I don't know what to do did really mess up my phone by just doing a factory restore?
Some help or clarification would help a lot now as it is a bit troubling that I am unable to fix the Motorola Razr XT925 and might be bricked just by doing a factory restore. :silly:
OK I am getting desperate here I will do anything to stop it from looping I have even tried house of motos way just the same thing still if I can stop it from looping I can get it to work but does anyone knows a way to wipe the phone completely or stop it from this infuriating loop???
Just as a side note I found that forcing it in to normal start up with the wall charger plugged in it will charge when done then it will show the rogers logo like its booting but does nothing.
I have searched the forms and google now for 2 days about any way to fix the boot loop but all just say to do things that I have tried many different ways many times and the tools don't work or will work like RDS but it is unable to continue do to the loop of it doing a factory restore then restarts.
If any body has any ideas at all or can at least point me in the right direction would be a life saver I will even jtag the phone if i have to, if even that's possible

Thanks for the reply, I have gone into fastboot mode and used RSD to try and flash the stock rom but when it restarts the phone its unable to countiue becuse it is uable to get past the bootloop
If your phone is bootloader locked you can always take it back to the carrier, that's it if you have guarantee. I suggest you try a earlier version of RSD lite, 6.1.4 for example, and see how it goes.

OK, not able to take it to Rogers some issues with doing that but will try RSD lite 6.1.4 besides that no other ways?
I had the same issue yesterday. Received a phone call and my phone shut off and started looping on the red M logo, but no further. I did everything in my power to get RSD Lite and ADB to recognize my phone in fastboot mode. Nothing. Then, I moved the USB port to another port on my laptop, and viola, RSD Lite picked it up, but ADB never did. Using the stock firmware available for my 926, I was able to revert back to the latest version of JB for my phone. I did also have to run RSD Lite in *administrator mode* in order to get success. Hope any of these tips helps you out.
Also, even though I was successful in flashing, I was still in loop mode until... I had to wait for the battery to die and the phone to shut all the way off. Then after powering up, it came up. I tried the volume down + power key, but it would only reset the phone, it would not completely power it off like it needed. This is not something I have seen on any forum anywhere, so hopefully it helps.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking along the same lines as that but trying it on a freshly installed windows plus on different computer and just have RSD lite 6.0 and my Motorola drivers for my phone installed. I was thinking that it was my current motherboard that has a Intel usb 3.0 controller on it and my old motherboard did not as I manually updated my phone from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 before on my old motherboard and had no issues and will fallow the instructions to the letter and will triple check as well. I will see how this goes and hope it works as its my last option to get it working.
OK so trying to reflash the phone from a different computer with a fresh install of windows buy did not work.
I was looking though the options in the android system recovery menu and two options stood out are:
apply update from external storage
and
apply update from ADB (wont work as ADB does not see the phone)
would doing an update with an SD card with the firmware on it work or is it for some other purpose?

I'm not sure, never flashed that way. If it isn't too much to ask, can you tell me the process you are following to flash the stock rom step by step?, to see if I can somehow help you out, it's really odd It doesn't work.

Thanks for the reply, The steps I take to flash my phone is to first put my phone in to fast boot mode then connect my phone to the back of my pc then start up RSD Lite and add the latest firmware for my XT925 in RSD then let it load the firmware and it restarts the phone. it starts up to the non animated red M icon then the android with the spinning blue object in its chest comes up but then shuts off and restarts and have left it for several hours until it died and had to recharge it up.If I can I will post a video of how I flash it and what the phone does.
also is it normal for RSD Lite not to show the imei number of the phone or any thing about it in the top left box (Device properties) when you click on the modal?, all I get is N/A in Device properties box.
Yes, that is completely normal, that only appears when the flash is succesful and you get past the "select language" screen, but seeing that you're stuck in the M logo means that you haven't got there yet, in the mean time it will still appear no imei and no info.

The RSD process following the exact same instructions found there on a Windows with USB 2.0, and it is preferred you use RSD 6.1.4 (if you don't have it I can post it here if you want)
Your build to flash is found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
Search for the one the phone brought when it was just bought, it has to be from your carrier.
Btw: did the flashing gives you any errors at all or not? Also, do you have bootloader unlocked? Just some details I'm curious, but seeing your phone does finish the process and restarts means it probably doesn't get any errors, anyway I'm just curious.

thanks for the reply, I have just tried the the steps in the link you provided and I used RSD lite 6.1.4 and got the 4.0.4 Rogers firmware for my XT925 that it originally came with and waited an hour but just did the same thing, I don't get any errors when flashing although RSD displays to start the phone up manually and I have a locked boot loader (Device is LOCKED: Status Code: 0) I can how ever get it to go to the animated red M icon and then the rogers logo by selecting normal power up from the boot menu but doesn't boot in to android.

Ok, so I think I maybe doing something incorrectly so I will put all the steps I did to reflash my phone and will add some pics and a video if possible.It took me a few days to get another phone to use for vids and pics the phone I used to for video and pics Samsung Captivate, unbrickable ya can't kill it.
1. I have installed RSD Lite 6.1.4
2. Installed the latest Motorola drivers by down loading the Motorola Device Manager
3. Down loaded the firmware for my phone android 4.1.2 full file name ---> 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQL-12.2_CANADA_VANQJBLTEFRCI_P004_CFC_fb.xml.zip
4. Put my phone in fast boot mode then connected my phone to my netbook on the side or on the back usb 2.0 port on the PC with the original Motorola usb phone cable tried both to be sure
5. Started up RSD Lite 6.1.4 and load the firmware and selected Decompress only
6. Checked RSD Lite to make sure my phone is connected and showing up and RSD Lite shows (Fastboot VQUISH_U S USB N/A Connected)
7. I then selected start button on RSD Lite and it flashed the firmware with out issues or errors
8. phone restarts fine from fastboot left it for 1:30 RSD displays to reboot the phone manually but the phone does not do anything else but reboot constantly left the phone doing that until it ran out of battery
