Recovery-->[latest recovery]--> install zip from sdcard--> WajkIUI_multilang_2.1.20.1
then installing~~ at completion..there is a message this defy will restart at MIUI. Anyway after that it gets stuck at motorola startup logo (red color) and does't proceed further.
Anybody can help plz. Em new with defy.
regards~
most likely it's because you didn't do the full wipe before installing the zip file. you now have to reboot back into recovery and do the full wipe and then reinstall the zip file again.
you do know how to get back into recovery, right?
you also could flash a kernel patch the next step.

when you reboot your phone, keep an eye on the top part of your phone where the LED is and have one of your finger on the Volume down button ready. as soon as you see the blue LED comes on, press the Volume down button immediately. this will get you into the custom or latest recovery.
If you don't see the blue LED after a couple of minute, then we might be in trouble. see how you go first.
I did the same. means I did the full wipe and then reinstalled the zip from sdcard. Installation was complete with a message defy will restart with MIUI. But its again stuck on the same startup logo and is not proceeding further.
Is there any other solution??
Actually my fone was working well. I was having some problem like android.acore.process stopped unexpectedtly time and again. Somebody told me to hard reset the fone. I did that by pressing power and vol- button at the same time. And then did hard reset. i.e. wipe data and wipe cache. after that my fone is not rebooting and it always get stuck at startup logo. Then some friend told to reinstall MIUI setup zip file from sdcard. I did the same, many times but problem is still there.
Its sp stressful for me. I shall be grateful if you could give me some solution.

many thanks~~ can you plz tell how to flash a kernel patch.

is your phone a defy or defy+? have you flashed any gingerbread full sbf before? what rom was on your phone before?
my fone is defy not fefy+. And rom is WajkiUI. Because this is the file name which i intalled. (WajkIUI_multilang_2.1.20.1 by Shan zip file name which I have). Is this different from MIUI??
and about flashing gingerbread full sbf...I am sorry to say I dnt have idea what is this.
I am very thankful for your kindness as I dnt know many things.
edit: and also in recovery options..there was something written like CynogenDefy Recovery v5.0.3.2. Is this something related to ROM?

If you can enter into recovery,try wiping data and cache.
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium
Thank you but I also tried recovery.it it not able to enter any mode
no replays ??
is this mean scrap the phone?
If it was an update.. Then i am sure ur phone is in warrenty.. Or shud be fixed by service centre for free... U can just ask them.. If they ask money.. Then u can flash stock rom via odin..
** rooting is new for me,
nd i am a noob to root....**
I don't care about the money or the service,I wanna care about myself and the forum here,didn't I been clear with my explanation? I explain that I can not enter the download mode or recovery mode so how can I flash using the odin or recovery factory reset as well
what I want to know is CAN I FLASH A ROM OR DO SOMETHING WITH THE PHONE THAT NOT ABLE TO CHANT THE STATUS OF INSTALLING UPDATE? IT IS STUCK ON THIS ,IF BATTERY REMOVED AND INSERT AGAIN THEN TOUCH ANY KEY IT WILL COME BACK TO THE INSTALLING

- When u see the letters of Samsung S4 in white... drop the Power button
- If u dont do it by this way u will be stucked in the boot logo
- This will go directly to your CUSTOM RECOVERY

Why don't you just flash stock rom in Odin? Before try taking the battery out wait a few seconds put it back in and Press volume up home and power

Maybe you post some pics. Best would be if you download the correct firmware and also check the bootloader. Did you flash kitkat from 4.3 or was it always 4.4?

There is a free program for Windows called "My Phone Explorer". It has the "monitor" feature (you'll see the screen of your Note 3 on your pc). You can check if it's only a software problem. I used it for unroot my S3 with cracked screen, try it
Envidado desde mi Note 3.
thanks also for ur reply ..i just downloaded the "my phone explorer" as u instructed to me..the only problem is my usb debugging is not on ..n i cant turn it on :/

It's in settings, general, developer mode. Which you activate by going to my device and clicking a couple of times on build number. If you have access to your phone settings that is.
Hello all, so today I downloaded 4.4.2 KitKat firmware from sammobile site, flashed it without backup or any **** (I've done it before on my tablet and worked like A CHARM) and "finally" got KitKat on my Grand 2 Duos. Then it all started happening after that:
I first started noticing some strange and weird bugs, like I can't lock the screen, notifications never get cleared, it felt like the phone got frozen.
It is known for sure that after I installed the firmware, the recovery mod that I had is gone and replaced with stock one, so I tried flashing a .tar file for rooting my phone (It was actually to use via recovery, not via flash... I lacked information back then), after flashing it, I could boot into recovery mode no more. Even after flashing the 4.4.2 firmware again, I even saw it installing a "recovery.img" file but with no good. When I try to boot into recovery mode it writes at the top "Could not do normal boot" and then "ODIN Mode" and the rest as I used to see before.
Then I started searching the web for solutions relating to the bugs I noticed earlier, found a thread instructing to remove battery, SIM card and microSD card, then re-installing them again except the microSD card... It actually fixed the stated bugs! But I still don't feel relaxed. I want to fix this (idk if this is called "bricked" or no!) issue about recovery mode, and get back to 4.3 as this scared me as f**k.
NOTE: I flashed CWM and TWRP .tar files that I already had, to no avail.
Now does ur mobile boot ? Or is it stuck in the logo ?

Well I already stated (if you read my whole thread) that it works normally, running 4.4.2 atm without microSD card inserted, it works like the past except for two points:
1- My root access is gone.
2- I can't reboot into recovery mode at all, no matter what I try.
Wow u screwed up ur recovery itself ....wow u r awesome ! Just check if it goes to download mode if it does then flash it again with the latest firmware .... After flashing immediately try going to recovery and if u do ..... do the reset and wipe cache
Hakuna matata !

After I flash the firmware it automatically goes to a recovery screen, a progress bar gets filled then opens the Android system normally. After that when I try to go to recovery mode again it goes back to download mode again with the error text "Could not do normal boot".
Problem.... Fixed? .___.
Well for some reason on the third (and thought it's hopeless) attempt to flash the firmware again, I managed to open recovery mode after it, I was kissing the Reset Factory button.
As long as I find this weird, working on many attemps (maybe Samsung software itself fails?) I find this thread useless, thanks given to Sanjuujosephh! I inserted my microSD and it's working now, rebooted again into recovery and it's working as it should be.

Dear friend,
Try my rooting thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ps/galaxy-s5-mod-apps-kitkat-grand-2-t2821638
This is made specifically for the KitKat Grand 2.
The message "Could not do normal boot" came as a result of using 4.3 recovery on 4.4.2.
Do not ever attempt to revert to 4.3 as this will HARD BRICK YOUR PHONE'S MOTHERBOARD.

I'm a newbie but I fixed mine...
I've had this happen and it is frustrating to say the least. But I fixed it though. This is what I did: CAVEAT: Please read up all the FAQs, search the right firmware for your phone and the appropriate versions, KitKat vs Jelly Bean, etc. otherwise if your phone is bricked...don't blame me.
I have a 2nd-hand Galaxy Grand 2 and so warranty issues are a non-issue for me. All the files I've found were downloaded on this forum. I flashed ROM with my PC with Odin program installed.
I used Odin3 (v.3.07). (To install Odin program search the this forum). I also reflashed the recovery TWRP file "twrp_ms013g-build2.tar" Including the firmware G7102 Stock. My file was: G7102DDUBOB1_G7102ODDBOB1_G7102DDUBNK1_HOME.tar.md5. (Search for it.) Oh, you may want this file: CF-Auto-Root-ms013g-ms013gxx-smg7102.tar.md5 which may help with rooting your phone if you haven't already done so.
I did the Recovery 3-button Samsung phone groping procedure (you know what I'm talking about Volume Up/Down button + power + home button)... but to no avail...I keep getting that boot loop (Unable to normal boot...etc). You know that stupid "Downloading" Android logo (with the blue worded script on the top left-hand corner) with message ..."Downloading ...Do not unplug source..." Well, I plugged the USB cable to the phone to my computer and Odin program recognized it (it'll read "Added"). The phone didn't give any indications that it was doing anything. Btw, if your Odin program doesn't recognize your device then you should find out why it doesn't. If it recognized it before and you flashed with the Odin program before, I don't see why it won't recognize it now? Some say it's the USB cable but I can't logically accept that kind of superstitious BS. Come on, it's a copper/aluminum wire cable wrapped in pvc -- not a script. A cable is a cable is a cable. If it worked before, it'll work again unless it's cut inside the pvc tubing. You can use a digital multimeter to easily test that for continuity (albeit with really tiny leads to be able to connect to the mini USB side). Anyways, if your Odin program won't recognize your phone, maybe try using a lower version, or re-installing, or another similar type of program that will work. I'm assuming you did install the Samsung USB driver for your PC (e.g. mine is -v1.5.61.0 -search for your appropriate version) so that your computer will recognize your phone when cable is hooked up.
DON'T FORGET TO have the "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" boxes checked on the Odin program. Then select PAD button and browse for your TWRP file (above) and hit "Start." The Odin will flash it and you'll see a light blue bar under the Android logo (on your phone) that will go from left to right and when finished....whooooohooo the phone auto restarts back to your last OS state without losing any info on the phone. At least it worked for me. Hope that helps. Sorry for the long post.
hi i am in official android 4.3 on my g7102 and i wanna install a recovery file. but every recovery file i tested dosnt work on android 4.3. can you help me?
If u have knox bootloader do not try to downgrade just get kitkat one and in odin check phone bootloader update
Seems like u really guys screwed up the recovery. Somehow on my first try of flashing a zip file (recovery), i got stuck on download mode and wont boot normally. When I fixed the problem, the phone boots normally but the recovery is the only problem I got. I fixed this problem for about 10 days ago, all i did was to reflash the recovery again, orrr flash other version of the recovery (if the downloaded recovery version didnt work) or flash other recovery if the another recovery didnt work. Make sure the recovery is working on the version of you're phone (jelly, kk, lollipop, marshmallow or nougat) and working also on the model version.
I know this is an old thread but I hope this reply helped
hello guys.
first i will start with the beginning. i have a grand 2 duos g7102 phone. i rooted the phone and installed CWM recovery in order to flash custom rom CM 12.1 Lollipop 5.1.1 everything was running well until i upgraded to CM 14 Nougat 7.0 COSMO, i didn't like it and when i wanted to get in recovery mode again it stopped working. Now i can't boot in recovery mode at all. Not showing CWM recovery like before only recovery booting for few second and after that the dead android and No command and there is more writing down the screen like Supported API: 3 but it is hard to read because the screen is always flashing.
i someone faced this problem before please help !!!
thanks in advance
Guys guys i had the same problem with my grand 2 7102.
I rooted my phone and flashed a recovery via odin.
But as i press the button combos it says. Could not do normal boot.
So, i found a solution for it.
Downloaded flashify for play store.
Extracted img. File of twrp recovery provided in the grand 2 thread 😬,
Flashed it with flashify
And guess what i was in the recovery and after that no problem came with the recovery flashing 🙂
If you guys keep having problems with no-pc flashing, try the pc flashing cause this is the better way of flashing other than apps.
I had the could not do normal boot problem
Do this ...
Google cwm test 4.4 ms013g.tar and download it
Put it in PA or PDA uncheck autoreboot keep freset time checked
Flash the file then when you get pass message in odin , remove battery and reinsert it and go to recovery mode directly with vol up + power button.
NOTE : Don't try to normal boot to system
