I think my brother bricked my Defy+ =0 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I ask my brother to install me some apps I put in a folder while I was away. Unfortunately, I forgot to remove 2nd init app (the one with the custom recovery for defy). My brother told me he installed it, pressed Install Bootmenu and then the phone lagged so he rebooted it.
Now my phone gets stuck after the red M appears when I try to load it. I can still go into recovery but it fails to do actions I thought would solve the problem such as wiping cache, and when I try to do so it says failed to mount E;/
How can I solve such problem? I think I can reinstall CM10 but I dont have any recent backups of important items like Whatsapp conversations.
By the way I am using Quarx's CM10 , forgot to mention that.
Please tell me how can I solve this issue and load my phone, preferably without reinstalling CM.
Thanks in advance, and I hope you can answer asap, Im really worried about this situation!

Does that bootmenu have adb or mount option? If it does you may be able to restore you bootmenu by using Linux.
Tell me if it has an option for adb or mount, and I'll tell you what to do.

Yes this problem happens to me as well! However I purposely install 2ndInit again because that earlier version of recovery that it installs allows me to mount my sdcard. But for you I'm afraid it has the opposite effect.
In custom recovery try these:
Mounts and Storage > check that you can unmount/mount things (post here what you can and can't)
If you can mount your sdcard: Go to Advanced > Start adb, Mounts and Storage > Mount usb drive, then you can copy over the files you want to flash and reflash everything.
As for backups, I'm afraid there is little you can do.

Wildfire stuck on bootloop

Hi all
I have a Wildfire that had Cm7, was rooted and s-offed. As Im selling the phone i thought it would be a good idea if I reset to factory, ready to be sold. However it has now given me a problem.
I reset to factory by clearing the storage on the hboot screen, and now when i turn on the phone it stays on the boot animation. I can get top the hboot menu, but im now stuck.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Have you tried reinstalling CM7/Sense ROM?
No,
Are the steps the same as a normal install?
Yes.

Did you factory reset to remove your personal data or to try get back to sense? You should always factory reset in recovery to avoid these problems. Also it wont return sense, need a stock rom or a ruu for that

I thought when i was doing it, it would just delete all the apps and stuff, so it would be a brand new phone but with cm7 installed.
Ill try and reinstall cm7 and see what happens..........
Right, update
I've followed this http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=HTC_Wildfire:_Full_Update_Guide#Method_via_Recovery and on step 5, i've selected - Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset.
and now teh screen hasnt moved for about 10 minutes, its on the screen where there is a top hat and yellow arrow...........
help.....
press the power button again then use the trackball. to select everything in cwm.
Also I'm not 100% as I've never cleared storage from hboot but doesn't that wipe your SD card?
if so you may have wiped some files needed by the phone so you may need to reinstall Cm7 or whichever rom, not just factory reset.

any ideas?
ok did you install gapps as well? go back to recovery and factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache. then reboot and try again.
No, didn't include gapps, i'll do that and see what happens when I get home
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
pretty sure you need gapps for setup to work
Recommended Solution (by me):
(suppose u want "clear setup" of CM7 stable)
Prepare your SD
Wipe off everything
Copy setup files
download.cyanogenmod.com/get/stable/gingerbread/update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip
download.clockworkmod.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
downloads.androidsu.com/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Get out the SIM card
Boot to recovery
Wipe phone storage
In recovery go to mounts and storage
Unmount /cache
Format /cache, /data, /system
Go back, then to the advanced and Reboot Recovery
"Install" OS
Back in recovery go to install zip from sdcard/choose zip from sdcard
First install update-cm-7.1.0.1-buzz-signed.zip
Then gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
And finally Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
Go back, and power off
Now u re in state "like from the store", that mean that OS is not really installed, there re just files copied and real installation will run on frist boot
Unfortunately, theres a catch
Theres problem with CM7 installation and it can face the problem with GPS
First boot will pop-up "market like" window with all Google apps, my recommendation is to wait, dont install anyting, dont click on anything, just wait, it will disapear... u can safely install them later from the market..
You don't really need the su.zip, since CM7 comes pre-rooted.

That's a good plan, but with 2 drawbacks ... 1 you don't need to flash su. Might break stuff since cm7 is pre rooted. 2 what if something else went wrong and he hasn't booted the phone to check? Then sells, unaware of it being damaged. Buyer comes back angry, ect ect aside from that good tut

sorry but u re wrong.. it cant break anything.. its just update.. in CM7.1.0.1 is SU 3.0.6 u can safely update it to 3.0.7 (i do it every time like that..)
Edit: sure guys... u dont have to do that... u can do it later from market... u will be prompt to do that... lol ....its defenetly better way install app like that from market rather than from recovery...
(both ways works in this case, anyway my logic says me that is better install crucial apps like that from recovery..)

..thats exactly why i mentioned point 7.
he have to decide what will be his next step..
if he decide to boot and try it out he will have to login to wifi, login to google account (to download Maps or GPS status) etc.. etc.. it will NOT be clear any more..
...it really depends on who is the buyer... does he know him ? can they do that together wiht buyers account, etc..
...because i dont know this dependencies i leave it open.......

[Q] A2SD problems.

Here is a story about me and my phone:
I'm using this rom for about 2-3 months and it's great!! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817793
But when I was updating some apps with the Play Store I got error 492.
Googled it and I found a thread on XDA and it said that I had to clear some caches.
So I did that and a Dalvik Cache wipe and I fixed permissions.
But it ended in an endless boot. So wiped everything and I did as an extra a Task 29. I flashed my rom installed INT2EXT+. The first boot after I flashed INT2EXT+ something weird happened: The WiFi just didn't turn on. I just turned it on but the slider bounced back after 5 seconds. Reflashed still that problem. So here comes the question how can I fix it?
Wi-Fi issues are sometimes connected to too small system partition. Perhaps caused by bad blocks. Make sure your system partition is bigger than needed. I usually add 10/15 mb above what the rom requires

Did what you said but when I let it start up I just see just a FC of Settings that's it. :crying::crying:
I rebooted it several times en every time it boots up I see ''Android is Upgrading''.
did you do a 'wipe data' because although the partitioning will clear out all teh nand, there may be stuff on the sd-ext/fat that are left over. a wipe data / factory reset clears those out too.

just saying but:
Funnydwarf said:
That's because int2ex need its own script for wiping dalvik, using the one provided with CWM will cause bootloops: both of you can find the right one on the first post of croniccorey's thread. Just search for "Dalvik-Cache Wipe Tool" then make it run from install zip from sdcard entry.

If you have int2ex installed then download and run that zip because if you use normal CWM wipe-cache-dalvik, you'll get a bootloop. this may help you?

go into cmw
wipe cache
wipe delvik cache
mount system (if on cm7 common kernel unmount system and mount it twice) data and cache

This is a bit same way that you informed....But your guide is more easy than me(For settings method)...All is well but if we need to delete the .android secure folder,we need root permission too...and after deleting this folder our installed apps will fail to load main apks...So I think it is more easy if we give a factory reset from settings...it will do all automatically...
So just give a reset.....:thumbup:
Im not sure if im really a mesaed up guy or something, but the reset button is not working anymore. I mean i cant click it anymore. So i better try to do the other steps than factory reset… need to backup files now

No working rom | Backup not working | Download mode is screwed | Just got TWRP help!

Hey guys,
I keep trying to get PA to work on my phone and every time i install TWRP i get a new issue. Can anyone help me get back to stock so i can go back to CWM and CM11 which seems to be so much better on the G2?
My issue is that after managing to restore the stock OS using download mode i rooted and flashed TWRP, now when i restarted into TWRP i cant seem to get back to the OS. I did do a backup before playing around but it seems i can restore everything apart form data but even then it does not boot it just goes to a blank screen after the LG logo and the notification light is on but nothing else. Download mode is not working it just has the loading download mode icon and that's it.
I managed to push PA and gapps to my phone using adb push and stupidly decided to try that without pushing some back up roms and now after wiping and trying to install PA and gapps anything further i try to push now tells me its read-only through adb, i have tried doing adb remount and that does not work.
When i try to install PA and Gapps they seem to work but when i restart i am just stuck on the LG boot screen.
Please can you help i really have no idea what do to and i have googled around without much help.
My phone is LG G2 int 32gb
Thanks!

Could you please elaborate a bit more? Im new to TWRP and dont know the options by the prompts i get are: Factory reset / Advanced Wipe / Format Data.
I was just worried that i might wipe too much so have always gone with factory reset on TWRP as it says on their site that should be enough:
teamw.in/whattowipe
Should i do an advanced wipe and try again?
Everything but internal. Pictures and your rom etc are on internal . Yes. Factory reset, too. Other options are in advanced wipe

Hey thanks for the help, I have done the advanced wipe and attempted a restore however the data part still fails. I tried to push stuff using ADB again and it is either coming up with a protocol failure and the phone is restarting or it still says read-only file system.
Any other options available? Also what was the advanced wipe supposed to achieve in comparison to the normal one? (just asking as I'm interested in learning about the whole process)

Yup its 2.7. Should i wipe then try adb push without restoring? (ill have to wait and give it a go on my lunch break) and i have CM11 to install which i have been trying to push using adb but i either get protocol failure and the phone is restarting or it still says read-only file system. Do you think just wiping all except internal and doing a factory reset will help me get past the whole read only file system issue?

lets say adb is in c:\adb

cd c:\adb
(copy your rom also somewhere with short path, let's say c:\adb\rom.zip)
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
or
adb push c:\adb\rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip
adb sideload doesn't have to be enabled

Thanks for your continued assistance, however its still showing up as as a read only file system in cmd and thus it cannot copy. Do you have any other ideas? I have tried adb remount and it is still coming up with the read only error
The only thing i can think of is to use an microsdreader like meenova and put a rom on the microsd and put it in your phone but i dont know or your twrp supports otg.

@usb - try formatting it through windows once again. I've also had some issues with my usb stick.
Just thought i would throw out and update to see if it helps you guys troubleshoot.
After doing an advanced wipe when i use the power off through TWRP it mentioned that i have no SU installed and asks me if i wish to install it. I click yes and it does something quickly then my phone restarts (so not sure if it worked or not) however every time i try and do and adb push to my device now it just comes up with protocol failure and restarts the phone. Just to note when i do a restore to the non-working backup i have when i try and turn it off using that it does not prompt that i do not have SU.
So i hope this helps in some way, nut sure if getting these protocol failure errors is better then the read only errors i was getting but the fact that it keeps restarting my phone does not seem promising when i do this.

Just to note when i do a restore to the non-working backup i have when i try and turn it off using that it does not prompt that i do not have SU.
So i hope this helps in some way, nut sure if getting these protocol failure errors is better then the read only errors i was getting but the fact that it keeps restarting my phone does not seem promising when i do this.

Well i guess you now have SU but the best thing to do is try to update the SU.
Try to Enable Usb debugging if it wasn't on yet. (I never had your error)
And also try to execute this when pushing a rom:
Code:
adb /kill-server
adb usb
adb push (romname) /sdcard
Or
adb push (romname) /storage/sdcard0
I don't know really about the last part anymore with adb pushing or these sdcard locations I said are right. The last time I used it was when i still had my phone :/
I hope this could fix your problem when you maybe accidently formatted your internal storage. If my sdcard locations aren't right could you correct me then? so people who also have this issue can fix it easily.
Thankyou

Hi, I bricked my phone, I totally messed up... Now I can't make my computer or any computer to recognize it... It doesn´t turn on, in anyway... So, I have almost lost any hope to fix my UMI Zero... But while reading any possible way to bring it back, I found MTKDroid Tools....I'm not sure that it will work, but I think it's my last chance... But I indeed need a backup of any Umi Zero, 'cause of course, when you need it... Turns out that you had it on the internal memory... So PLEASE if anyone could help me with an MD5 file of your phones... I'd truly appreciate it...
Thanks in advance to anyone who's willing to help....
And sorry for my bad English...
Thanks again!!!

I have exactly same issue, like timelord666. I'm unable to mount /system in TWRP. Did any of you guys come with some solution?
Had this problem on a VF-895N, i did factory reset and cache format a few times with reboots between them until it just went away!
But the best way to solve is to flash the stock rom back, has it will reinstall all partitions.
But I cannot do factory reset, because there is no system installed, somehow. And when I try to wipe it, I always get that partition error. I would like to install stock rom back, but how?
Here is a complete backup of TWRP 3.10.

Maybe my question is stupid, but what m I suppose to do with this zip file?
The zip belongs to the TWRP folder on the SD.
Path: TWRP / backups / umi_zero /
Card into the unit, then the Recovery and Restore. So you can restore your device.
Hi my question is more stupid... because I bricked the phone, How I TWRP? I went in the TWRP page but the device Vodafone VF-895N is not into the list....
Thank you....
Are you already aware of but that is about the Umi Zero here !?
Sorry but Umi3 write about my device and I supposed that Twrp image was for my device

Go to need rom and download the very first rom for umi zero.
The name is Y800.Flash it with sp flash tools. You don't have to have a rom installed first.
You will have your phone back working again.
Me too...
Hi everyone!!!
I I think also caused one softbrick on my smartphone. My Umi zero already been updated from the original firmware to version 3.09. Then I decided to try the other roms. I Installed Miui v6 Arcatarcs rom. It worked well with either common bug and everyone already knew he had. So I decided to try the EMUmizero (mouths later). To install the "EMU" used the RootJoy as Arcatarcs guides. I used it little and preferred to return to Miui but in version 7. I thought it best enjoy the RootJoy and downgrade by himself for the original rom (3:01) before.
After I downgraded Umi began shows various errors (I could not touch anything because it was opening pop ups of errors on the screen). Several pop ups appear followed ("com.android.phone stopped", "com.android.systemui stopped", "com.android.acore stopped"). Restarted the Umi, I entered the recovery of rootjoy, and tried to do a full wipe. But I think there also appeared a few mistakes. And currently it does not come out of the boot screen / logo-Umizero.
I tried to make a stock rom installation via FlashTool but the software does not even begin the installation. Sometimes back up to even enter the recovery image of rootjoy.
It also does not recognize the memory card "sdcard". Was recognized try to do the install the rom there.
Can anyone help me?!? Can I install the twrp on Umi for other software?? like odin or something??
thnks a lot
solved
yesterday sp flash tool dont work... today... bingo... full format and new install of the stock original rom umi zero...

Hi, actually while I was trying to solve it, battery bloated and phone stopped working at all. I was trying to use my waranty at Aliexpress, because it wasn only few months old phone, but they stopped communicating... So it was like throwing 200$ away... Never buy phone at Aliexpress, never.
