[RECOVERY] DEFY ClockworkMod Recovery - 2.5.1.8

Hi all,
Rumor has it I picked up a DEFY last week. Most people in the community know me for my work on the cliq/backflip/cliqxt. It's been quite some time since I posted any mods/work here on XDA so here we go. First I'd like to say thanks to Koush & Tenfar for the work they've done. They laid the ground work. I simply needed/wanted to improve on it more. I wanted to include the latest 2.5.1.x version since it has some bug fixes/new features also. So here you go. This recovery includes the latest 2.5.1.8 ClockworkMod Recovery, fixed fix_permssions script, and updated adb that allows root access when using adb shell. All your backups, downloads will reside in the clockworkmod directory on your sdcard just like a standard clockworkmod recovery. If you haven't noticed the fix_permissions script don't run properly via the recovery on the DroidX/Droid2/Defy. I simply fixed the script so it does work properly. Thanks again to both Koush & Tenfar. I'm looking into resolving the problem when you have USB debugging enabled you can't boot into recovery mode properly. This release still has that issue, just FYI. If you choose to use this version over Tenfar's, you'll need to un-install his version, install this one, & choose the option to install recovery once. After that, it's works the same way. Take care.
UPDATE: I've uploaded a new version to my 4shared as well as included it here. This new version simply adds a power off option to the menu & was a quick attempt to try to resolve the USB debugging option. I'll give it another try when I have time, until then, I hope you like having the option to power off your Defy from the recovery menu. I've also provided a link to the original version. Take care.
Steve, kb7sqi
Edit: Due to requests, I'm re-adding the link for this updated version. While I do have plans to come back to #android soon, until then, this will be unsupported by me till then. I'm glad it's been useful to others. Take care.

It's does exactly what it sounds like. It simply returns the "key" value when you touch keys/buttons on your phone. It's handy if you're wanting to update a recovery to use certain keys if your phone has them. Perfect example, on the cliqxt the phone has a touch pad. So in the version I created for it, instead of needing to use the volume up/down, you could also use the touchpad for up/down/select as well. Take care.

You guys do know you don't have to pull the battery out right? You can hold down volume down button & hit the power button to turn the phone off while in the recovery. When you power the phone on, it'll boot up like normal. Take care.

do you think it could of happened because i edited the file name via my computer while my phone was in usb mass storage mode?

[Q] mt4gs bootloader phone problems

After installing the newest Virtuous Infinity (although I'm not sure if it is related to the rom), things were great.
After 3 or 4 days though, I woke up to my phone not responding. It almost seems as if the phone processor is running at 1/8th the speed. The touch screen doesn't seem to respond very fast, in fact, I can never get past the lock screen because it does not take my input in properly.
When I try to boot into Clockwork, the phone is stuck with only the clockwork icon there, and any key stroke will cause the phone to reboot again.
When I try to boot into the bootloader, the phone will either freeze and require a battery pull, or this image will come up ->
http://imgur.com/2zHLH
Therefore, when I hook up via USB, I cannot use fastboot to reflash the phone, since it seems to be stuck at that point on bootloader.
Any clue what's broken??
Thanks in advance!

Did you happen to have any zip files inside your sd card?
All the symptoms above seems to point at the sdcard as the problem.
try removing your sdcard and boot it up

thanks!
however, even after removing the sdcard, the phone is still messed up.
any other suggestions? what would be the best method of wiping and restoring the phone if i cannot get into the bootloader or recovery?

MAN! How weird! If it just started that out of the blue and was working fine before and you can't get into recovery either it sounds like you've had some kind of failure on the motherboard. You shouldn't have any problem swapping one with a hardware failure like that if that's actually what it is. I can't imagine ANYthing about a ROM that would do all that to one.
It COULD maybe be that your PG59IMG.zip file is corrupt & just stopping it. Can you delete & replace that file on the card and put it back in & reboot it?

looks like something about how the phone looks for a list of PG54 files before boot is completed, any clues if that may be why my phone is dying?

**If replacing the PG59IMG file & rebooting DOES work, don't forget to go back & delete it or your system will find it and install it every time you reboot.**

Everything is screwed for me. I can't even RSD back to stock. I can access TWRP, but can't wipe System or Data. Fastboot is just there and won't actually push anything. I already have a Moto X now, and I was talking about this issue about a week ago on the Android Development subcat, but I thought I would give it one last go on here to see if I can at least make it a backup.

Maybe if you could give some more detail about what exactly you can and can't get the phone to do, what screens can be accessed, and what you did that lead to this condition, we could offer some advice.
Also, no offence to the devs, but twrp is the devil lol. Most issues I have had in the past have led back to it in one way or another, so I never use it. (Just my opinion)
Tappin G2 Style

I can get to the Fastboot screen, I can access TWRP, and I can get the phone to bootloop at the boot animation screen.
I can't push anything through ADB or Fastboot, I cannot mount data or system in TWRP or otherwise. RSD comes back failed every time with every single stock build I use.
Literally two weeks ago, I was in bed, watching TV, with the phone charging. I unlock it to see if I had any notifications, and it kept saying that Nova launcher FC'd. So logically, I rebooted my phone and that's when it started boot looping.
I did nothing to the phone for a couple of hours, it was on the official CM 10.2 11/9 build. I had that ROM running fine for at least 24 hours before it went FUBAR.

Well that sux.
Your problem is different than what I made this for but I was hoping it would work for you.
What did it do, fail all the way through?
When I tested it on my phone it reported flashing the partitions ok. There was actually extra text displayed while it was doing it that I didn't put into the script, that's how I knew it was working.

im running out of suggestions
if you havent tried to put stock recovery back on yet, how about we try that and see what happens.
if you dont know how to do it through adb, just grab the 1.34 utility from the dev forum, it will push it through fastboot.
something is obviously wrong with twrp, maybe we can fix that first.

I tried flashing even the stock Recovery manually and through the 1.34 utility. Always comes up failed. :sad:

Did you try the manual steps that I posted in my links?

i hope that works, but im doubtful.
the utility essentially flashes exactly as you would manually.
he doesnt have a partition issue, im guessing something is wack with the permissions.
if twrp somehow screwed up the permissions to read only, i believe even the partition file cant overwrite it. i could be wrong.

So I think it has something to do with the Permissions of one or more of the partitions. I just noticed it keeps saying Permissions Denied when I try to fastboot or mfastboot.

he defiantly has the right fastboot, its in the utility that has been downloaded thousands of times.
if its write protected some how, its not going to flash no matter how you try it.
what i was wondering is if recovery can fix permissions that deep, not sure he said he tried that.

What do you mean with recovery?

[Q] Activation Problem - Boot Loop

So I sold an unopened, sealed Nexus 5 to someone last night and he's having a problem activating the device.
Here is his description of what happened:
"I popped in the SIM card, the loading proceeded as normally. It said it was activating and then a box popped up saying that "android is upgrading system files" or something like that. It restarted and went back to the language selection screen. I pressed English, next and then it went to the connect to wifi screen, froze and then restarted before I could even connect. Now it just loads on the boot"
I had him boot into recovery and do a factory reset, but the result is the same. I had him do a 2nd factory reset just be sure, but again, same result.
My thought is the system upgrade didn't happen correctly and not is corrupted.
What's the best course of action? Can I use the WugFresh toolkit to flash stock and unroot, or would I have to do it through ADB since the phone can't boot into the system?
I don't want to leave the buyer hanging, he seems like a nice guy, but I'm just not sure how to proceed?

Use ADB and flash the factory image for him.

Easy walkthrough:
1) Install ADB drivers (You can do it with WUG Toolkit).
2) Reboot your device in Fastboot mode (Hold up/down volume and power)
3) Download the latest HAMMERHEAD image from google website.
4) Download the Google SDK (not needed, but you will need Fastboot.exe, so I would recommend downloading the whole thing)
5) Unzip the image (.tar or .tgz I think) to the location where Fastboot.exe is (all the files should be in the same directory, usually platform-tools)
6) Double-click on the flash-all.bat file from the unzipped .tar or .tgz folder, should install stock image on your phone (note that you might need the latest version of Java installed on your computer)
And you're done.
Hope it helped!

Hello, I am the buyer of this Nexus device. I was able to successfully do these steps above, and reload the stock image for the Nexus 5. However, I am still running into issues.
WITH SIM:
I was able to get to the home screen after the initial setup, sent a few test text messages to my Google Voice number successfully, and browse on Chrome for a little bit before the device froze and restarted. After it restarted, I let it load up again, tried setting up my Google account on the device, then it froze again. All of the freezing happens within 3-5 minutes of using the phone.
So I decided to go into the bootloader, and do a factory wipe/cache wipe, and proceed without having the sim card in. I was able to get to the wifi selection screen, select my router, but as soon as the keyboard was suppose to pop up, the device froze and restarted. I am now just stuck on the welcome screen.
Any ideas now?
---------- Post added 29th November 2013 at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was 28th November 2013 at 11:56 PM ----------
Update: So I'm not sure what happened, but I ended up locking the device through Wug's Nexus Toolkit, inserted my sim card, and proceeded to set up the phone normally. So far everything has been working perfectly fine. I can receive/send texts, make and receive calls, and do normal functions with the phone without it locking up and restarting. Fingers crossed it'll stay like this.
Any idea on why this would've happened in the first place with the device?
---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------
Update 2: Well, I noticed that it will randomly reboot every half hour or so it seems. It's kind of random, but I'm not sure what else could be causing these random reboots. The phone itself is working fine, but I just started experiencing random restarts.

It was working fine earlier. I put it on the charger and got it to about 50%, used it for a little bit, then bam. It froze, and restarted all over again. I can use the phone maybe 5 - 10 minutes before it starts to recharge. Sometimes It'll automatically reboot after even unlocking the device.

I would do another factory reset and use it for a bit without any additional apps installed. If you are fully stock and locked with this happening I would think about possibly doing an RMA. Also just and FYI make sure you have the seller of your phone call and transfer the warrenty to you so if an RMA is needed you have the ability to do so.

I figured it would be a sim card issue since it was working for awhile without the sim, but I did the factory/cache thing without the sim card, signed on via wifi, but it still doesn't work. So I am seeing what my options are from here. Thanks for all the tips everyone.

I was going to try and do that earlier. I will try and do that now, but I can't even get past the bootscreen animation at this point. The 4 dots will do the animation, freeze, and just reboot.
I'll keep trying. But, I really think this is just a defective one. I had a white Nexus 5 a few weeks ago and didn't have any of these issues :crying:
Edit: My last restart the phone kept vibrating like crazy before restarting.

Honestly it sounds like it's hardware related and time for RMA. OP If you do have ADB set up grab the last_kmsg right after the reboot.
Code:
adb pull /proc/last_kmsg
I doubt it will show any kernel panic but it's worth a shot.

Just saw that. OP by your earlier symptoms I rules out a stuck power button. With the new info I'd look into it further. If the phone is just looping over and over it could be a stuck power button, Mash the power button repeatedly for a minute. Then try and reboot. A few other people have had this on the N5 already and it's a notorious issue on some Samsung phones.

I would do another factory reset and use it for a bit without any additional apps installed. If you are fully stock and locked with this happening I would think about possibly doing an RMA. Also just and FYI make sure you have the seller of your phone call and transfer the warrenty to you so if an RMA is needed you have the ability to do so.

If it comes to that, how do I go about transferring the warranty over?
I feel really bad, I just don't get it. I bought two of them, the other buyer hasn't had any problems. Both brand new, sealed, in the box. Go figure.

No sound at ALL on my OP6

Greetings, everyone. So I got an OP6 a few days ago from someone I know and it has two problems - first one is that there is no sound at all from the phone, the speakers, the headphone jack, even audio through bluetooth don't work (when trying to play audio through bluetooth the phone starts lagging like hell). Second is, the fingerprint reader doesn't work too, there is no option in the system, only on the first setup screen (after a reset) where it doesn't work anyway.
The guy said it happened after an update. I tried re-flashing it many times because it kinda looks like like a software issue, but nothing help. Diffrent roms, stock or not, doesn't matter, tried unbrick tool, no luck aswell. Disassembled the phone in the end to check for water damage or loose cables, but even that didn't help, everything seems normal inside. And it's pretty wierd to have 2 separate things not working at all.
There is no official support for Oneplus in my country, the phone is imported so getting an official repair is not an option. Anyone got any idea what I should be looking into?
Thanks.

Guy you switch off the mute button over the power, press down and voil

Thanks for the advice, but don't you think I tried that before physically disassembling the phone?

Well.. we had people that didn't try it...so no point in thinking and skipping questions...

have you tried to reflash the whole stock rom with using fastboot images ?
I've got that problem too before, it's becaused I flash a stereo sound mod, and updating the software. and I lost all of my sounds.

Interesting, did you not have any sound at all too? From the speakers as well as headphone jack?
But yes, I tried to flash from fastboot, even did the unbrick tool which seems like the best method to get a complete factory reset. I'm not sure if there's some part of the firmware that can still be corrupted even after flashing though the tool.

Thanks, I'll try again later just to make sure.

Sadly, didn't work again. Flashed all the partitions that can be flashed with that tool, but still got no sounds, so probably it's a hardware issue in the end, but it's hard to imagine what exactly is broken.
