Hi, I recently tried flashing my defy (mb525 from Israel with an Israeli ROM) with Chinese Froyo, flashed the phone and it wouldn't boot, was like that for a while and I tried flashing many versions in hope it would unbrick him, no joy. Long story short now i have a Defy with 2.3.4 (shadow-128, not the fixed version, the undowngradeable version).
I thought maybe finally trying to restore a nandroid backup, but I don't have CWM.
Questions are:
Is there a way to install CWM through a zip file?
Can I restore a Nandroid backup without CWM (or any sort of custom recovery)?
Any other solution that can save my phone?
Thanks Y'all,
hope I will finally unbrick that bastard.
Read this for downgrade and root.

Didn't work, just like all ROMs before, it shows the moto logo, then shows, motoblur, or android or any other animation (depends on the version), and its stuck on that an not starting the phone.
if you now in 2.3.4, cannot downgrade.

it works!
Your device isn't bricked. You only have a bootloop.
Like already said, Downgrade is not possible so you should flash a ROM with your Bootloader-version and make a wipe.
I have a Pipo Mix M2 WiFi tablet which seems to be stuck with 4.04. The device is rooted and there is a custom rom I can install. However, I haven't been able to get CWM onto it. Recently I found Online Nandroid Backup and this seems to have installed a recovery in the CWM folder.
Am I right in thinking I can now proceed and install my romantic from the sd,acrd through Rom Manager?
I am a noob and I am still learning!
Videocon a15+ is a JB device and yesterday I ported CTR recovery for it.
It worked and I took nandroid backup through it.
While exploring through the recovery I accidently wiped the system partition! :crying:
Then I thought to restore the backup but it showed MD5 mismatch. I bricked my device! :crying:
I am in desperate need of the stock firmware of it.
Can anyone help me out!

Hi Guys,
I had a 6.0.1 MM custom ROM (found here in the ROM section) installed on my Galaxy S7 SM-930F last year. I made a TWRP backup prior to upgrading to Nougat however stupid me I have forgotten a folder to manually back up when I was on MM. I've tried to downgrade and restore using TWRP to no avail.. it would say the restore is complete and stay stuck on the Samsung logo. My nanadroid backup ends with G930FXXU1APGH so I searching the ROM section of XDA forum to see if I can go back to what I installed as it appears I have no record of the ROM I downloaded here so I can restore the backup successfully. The backup I am trying to restore is from TWRP 3.0.0 and I am now using a 3.1.1
My questions are:
1.) Do I need to be on the same exact build number of Marshmallow for the TWRP restore to work? (I've tried older/newer TWRP/different build # for Marshmallow)
2.) Is there a best way to find out which custom rom I installed last year (search function?)? All I know is that my backup ends with G930FXXU1APGH so that build # is the only lead I have to search through the forum
3.) Restoring the backup always leads to a stuck Samsung logo. I've tried different TWRP, rooted and gone to Nougat/MM and restoring from there, cleared data/factory settings/cache etc. Any other suggestions?
Thank you for your help.
