if you are stuck in boot loop or having difficulty starting your phone, don't worry, there should be a way.
I have experienced this issue today after flashing wrong file causing my phone to stuck in boot loop. after searching in this forum and after spending over 3 hours, I finally managed to restore my phone and it is now working perfectly fine.
therefore, I thought of making a basic guide to try to resolve such issues. please note, this is a very basic guide to resolve problems with starting your phone, I am not professional but will try to share my experience and help anyone in need. this was done on X10i
lets start:
1- if you have a recent back up and have access to xrec, you can simply restore your phone
2- if you have access to xrec but don't have a backup, try to flash a new ROM
I tried the previous two steps but it kept saying can't mount SD, therfore try the following
3- if you don't have xrec access, use the flash tool
download from here http://www.multiupload.com/7H4JT35B6G
then flash generic 2.1 to your x10, I used this one http://www.mediafire.com/?sqv6274anzfzn2x
here is the guide on how to do it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10879528&postcount=3
I have had problem saying "install or re-install drivers", you just need to install the file in the drivers folder in the flash tool main folder and restart the flash tool program
4- after flashing this ROM, restart your phone and root it using the flash tool, after the root your phone will restart, then you need to ask for premession and click xrec to install xrec to your phone
5- before installing new ROM, please make sure that your baseband and karnel is compatible with it (because the ROM you flashed earlier has old karnel and you will be stuck again in the boot loop if you flashed 2.3.3 just like me, then you will need to start again and install new karnel before instaling 2.3.3 ROM or even restore 2.3.3 ROM)
(you can simply install the new ROM then restart in flash mode and flash the new karnel .71 or flash the karnel and restore your backup)
I know that my choices of flash tool version or generic 2.1 version might not be the best, but I used them and resolved my issue and hope it will resolve yours. for any question please do not hesitate to ask me.
credits to everyone who helped, I can't remember everyone because I read quite a lot so please forgive me
nice post my friend
In flash tool I'm getting an error:
ERROR - USB\VID_0FCE&PID_ADDE\5&2BFAB030&0&5
any idea what to do?
it sounds to me that u may need to install the semc flash drivers.. inside the flashtool u may find a folder named drivers, go inside of that folder and install ggsetup.. also do u have pc companion installed?

can you post the log from the flash tool so I can see at which step exactly this massage came up
I am fairly novice when it comes to flashing so here's a pretty dumb question:
I have an X10a, can I use the X10i software that you've linked in your post or is it just going to brick my phone.

ummmm...hello xda devs and members. i am a noob on these forums regarding development of the android OS. i managed to installed racht's floyo v0.30 after a lot of difficulties.
i have root explorer v2.15 installed on the custom rom. before yesterday everything was alright, i could browse and change the permissions of files easily. how ever yesterday in the evening i found out that my gallery wasnt displaying any of my cam pics. so via root explorer i browsed to the DCIM folder and saw that Owner r/w/e permission wasnt enabled. i tried to enable but i got a message saying that permission change was unsuccessful as sd card does not allow it, or something similar. so i updated and installed the official android 2.1 eclair via SEUS. the problem still persists. please help me
um, did you wipe the userdata in xrec/cwm ?
if not, try that.
if you did, all i can suggest is back up the content and format the card.
(that said i'm no expert so maybe someone else will have better solutions.)
before installing rom i performed factory reset through xrecovery and i also tried formatting the sd card. but no use. are u saying that i should try factory reset in phone settings. please reply ASAP
oh, no, just in recovery , but if you've done that, and you've tried formatting the sdcard, idk, perhaps try reinstalling the rom now that you've formatted the sdcard?
if that doesn't do it, y'need someone with more experience than me, heh.
hmmmm...maybe i should try again. and i was wondering if i can use a different sd card(not the one that came with my phone) but if i do so on my custom rom will i brick my phone or something
no, switching sd card won't brick the phone.
also, you could try a more recent version of root explorer and see if that helps.
thanks for the replies. i will try root explorer v2.17 and give updates. please subscribe to this thread so if i face any further problems with this you can help me out.
If can help....

ok guys thanks for all your replies (though i did not get many). i think i fixed the problem. you see with racht's floyo v0.30 comes a file manager. what i did was browse to the sd card directory. then i first excluded it from media scan and then reverted the process. i checked to see if my pictures were still in the gallery. i rebooted the phone and to my relief they were there...thank god. anyways thanks for your prompt replies. if you need any help be sure that i will help you

ummmm...you just taught how to install a custom rom which is already in my knowledge but anyways you tried to help so i appreciate it and thanks.
Hi,i'm really a noob and i'm here to request help.
I've read almost all the development thread,but I never tried to do something on my own phone. Now I want to simply root it,I have the stock rom with v10k firmware.
Should I use the prerooted v10k or the root+cwm+unlocked bootloader mod? I saw someone talking about installing cwm from the Rom Manager app (in order to install cm10)
I'm waiting for a more stable cm10,now i just want root. What should I do? Flash prerooted v10k,unlock bootloader and then install cwm from the app or just flash the all-in-one mod?
Thanks to anyone that can provide me with a idiotproof guide to this (by the way I use the phone mostly with wifi and 3g)
- Link to installation procedure of a prerooted V10K ROM.
- Link to installation procedure for Bootloader unlock and installation of CWM Recovery.
Try these procedures! It helped me a lot
Ok,I'll try to flash them separately.
Flashing the v10k prerooted rom will do it? No wifi fix like for the deodexed one?
Yes, it will! I did it and it did not asked me to fix anything. It works very well.
I have two questions:
1) If I install the official drivers with the LG Support Tool and then I connect the phone,Windows Update tries to search drivers. What I have to do? The first time i tried to flash,KDZ stopped responding right after i clicked "Lauch Software Update" and a (if i remember the name correctly) mod.cab file appeared on desktop.
2) I have to connect the phone with Media Sync (MTP) or with PC Software? I read two guides on How To Flash Stock Firmware on L7 and one says Software PC,one says USB Storage.
Thanks
It's completly normal to the KDZ stop responding. It force close when it ends.
And you have to connect with PC Software!
Yes,it worked
I was kinda worried to do this,thank you
I eventually decided to flash Kitkat onto my Defy+.
Followed this guide here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52342403#post52342403
Everything worked fine until I got to the actual flashing of the KK Rom. TWRP had loaded fine but insisted I had no OS installed and on exit suggested device was not rooted?
Phone kept saying failed and to re partition. So I tried the Resize.zip from another guide. This did nothing either , still the same.
It had also had the following error, "Error Executing Updater Binary In Zip".
So I tried the solution here:-
https://kalitutorials.wordpress.com/2015/06/19/solve-error-executing-updater-binary-in-zip/
Now I cannot boot into TWRP or Clockworkmod recovery. When I try to boot phone it just sits on Motorola Sign but doesn't progress and no led flashes to enter TWRP. Battery needs to be removed to switch off.
If I power up with Volume down pressed, I get picture of Android Green Robot standing up with an yellow exclamation in a white lined triangle. No options are shown.
Pressing Vol up and down I get me to Android System Recovery <3e>. Options there are, reboot system now, apply update from sdcard, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition.
I can also enter bootloader using vol up and power.
Any ideas anyone, found this guide to try to fix but don't want to try anything else without some confidence it will work.
http://www.tech-zealots.com/tutorials/unbrick-motorola-defy-or-defy-100-working/
I have a nandroid backup created in normal recovery btw. I would prefer to flash back to it if possible.
Thanks

You need to download a sbf file https://mega.nz/#!915TCAAD!X7_f1t83lVPkK5p7jUdokeE4SQ8qTRqPnBWNvfgyxWA (this one is stock android 2.3.6), then you need to install drivers and rsd lite and connect your phone (must be already in bootloader mode) to your pc and then reflash the sbf file. After that, your phone will boot up to the stock firmware and you can install cm11 then. Basically you can follow up the the guide that you posted. Good Luck

Thanks for your reply.
Tried what you suggested but after flashing that sbf the phone tries to boot up but after logo drops back to bootloader 9.10 with ERR:a5,69,35,00,27 .
I managed to get the Retail UK sbf referred to here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421526
Tried flashing it but end up with a black screen bootloader and just white led lit. Reflashed the sbf u suggested and back to Bootloader with Err.
Googling seems to suggest I am just needing to get the right sbf for the phone.
I have the Nandroid backup made with Clockworkmod recovery. Is there anyway to flash it?
TIA
G
Sorted
After extensive digging and climbing the steep learning curve. Decided the problem was that the sbf file u suggested was DFP 231 and possibly my phone was DFP 2311. Found Firmwares here:-
https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Defy+ (MB526)/Stock/
And downloaded the DPF 2311 Rom, only was one. (DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-2311_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8TFDE004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRO2DE_P020_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf). Tried flashing it and voila system is back, albeit it started up in German.
Gonna try the rooting mehod here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820282
For anyone elses benefit, the links for Roms at Android Developers don't work. The retail EU Firmware mentioned in the rootong guide is available on the site referred to above. U can tell when you click the link to the Android Developers site as the browser URL shows the full file name as follows.
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf.gz
The rooted one I think is the same one you linked me to and is still valid in the Rooting guide too.
Thanks for all help and I hope this is of use to someone else.
G
Minor question still remains.
If I am trying to install Kitkat rom. DO I still need to Root phone if the rooted 231 has been installed, I presume not?
G
Followed rooting guide and so now have a rooted 231. All good
Now for KK.

hi
i installed custom recovery to cool 1 c 103
after it finished model number changed to 106
what i have to do?????
From the forum I followed these step to install magisk:
- Patched my boot.img of my current rom using Magisk Manager and flashed via fastboot
- After rebooting from fastboot it got stuck in recovery so had to wipe all data and it booted finally
- After booting up installed Magisk Manager and both Magisk and Magisk manager shows green tick (installed)
But at this stage, whenever I open Magisk, it shows a recommendation to install a ZIP, if I agree to install it, phone gets stuck in recovery again.
If I choose not to install recommended zip and click Install > Direct Install, phone gets stuck in recovery again anyway
Everytime it gets stuck I have to wipe all data and start all over again. Anyone else facing same issue? Any solution?
Really frustrated right now.
My current rom is : DAVINCIIN INDIAN Global_V11.0.2.0
Used latest magisk manager 7.4.0
I have official recovery, not TWRP.
Afraid that flashing TWRP now will brick it for good.
UPDATE: Got the solution here, thanks @pikchu289 !
Twrp up to now is the best way
But check some stuff first
1.unlock the boot loader
2.chech if the magisk zip/img is corrupted or any file
3.does your os support this magisk version
Any way you can flash twrp because many people had already tried it and tested it from installing zips/ROMs/mods etc.. to backup files/data or even fixing some corrupted files that caused boot loops manually
But there are various things that doesn't work usually such as restoring system partition but never worry about this because if any thing failed just use miflash tool to go back to official/stock rom
Edit : I think something's wrong with your magisk version number
I have no idea which rom youre using or why on earth you didn't install TWRP before messing around with the os but some roms dont work with latest magisk and you have to use a specific older version depends on your rom, and you can't update magisk at any point as long as youre on this version of the rom. Ive always used custom recovery and when facing an issue with magisk you just boot to recovery and flash the 'magisk uninstaller' zip (available on magisk xda page) and reboot and you get system. No need to start from scratch
Solve this solution
Dear stone_henge!
I found a method to solve this solution after a lot of days I tried a lot of times! As follows:
1. I back up my Internal storage to my PC
2. Format Data (In TWRP: Wipe -> Format Data)
3. I reboot back into recovery
4. I connected my device to PC via a cable and copy two files: "Magisk-v20.1.zip" and "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_10.20.2019.zip" into Internal storage. Then rename "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_10.20.2019.zip" to "Disable_ForceEncrypt.zip"
4. I flash "Magisk-v20.1.zip", then I reboot back into recovery again.
5. I flash "Disable_ForceEncrypt.zip" . Reboot to system and setting my phone like after flash a new room, and then I installed "MagiskManager-v7.4.0.apk"
It's working for me!
You can download "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_10.20.2019.zip" here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/universal-dm-verity-forceencrypt-t3817389

Yeah some people prefer to have stock recovery and not mess with the phone that much... But while you seem to be an expert on what to do, maybe you could try be helpful a bit and provide with the guide of flashing TWRP on k20? Yeah i can obviously see there are guides already in the forum but I'm curious to know which one you followed.

None of these lines actually answer my problem or even help in any way. But thanks for enlightening me. -_-
It's true I did miss the part where you mentioned your rom but let's recap..
I did tell you you should install custom recovery.
I did tell you you should probably stick with the magisk version that works and not to update.
I did tell you you don't need to start over every time you get a problem caused by magisk and you can just flash magisk uninstaller and get your system back.
You don't see any of that helpful??? That's fine bc I got news for you.. THIS FORUM IS FREE! Do I have to research your problem for you and give you a step by step guide or else you whine about it?? Plus this is a public forum. People share the knowledge they have with everyone who reads it now and in the future and might get a piece of information out of it.
If you use the time you waste attacking people who used their time to try and help you (instead of saying thanks anyway like the rest of us do) into doing your research (like the rest of us do too) you'll probably be fine.

Sorry for being harsh... I understand you actually tried to help. It's actually really frustrating when facing a problem that has no straightforward solution.
Sorry mate.
finally i founded how to fix this issue without formating data of ur device
--just the flash the same the full custom rom or stock rom that u r using currently on . and boom restart. and ur issue fixed
Install a magisk zip without TWRP. TWRP takes too long. Instead use Aodin to flash a rom specific to your device version. Make sure it is not corrupted as well
