I had already done all that, all the steps correctly, and the battery 100%.

drivers are updated but the problem is when I enter in the recovery mode <3e> I can not access any of the four options (reboot, apply recovery, wipe data and wipe cache) can change options but never confirmed, it seems that does not receive commands the power button.

below in yellow I see the following message :

E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/caller
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

also used the Chinese ROM to downgrade boot
Seriously, to solve this has to be Ninja

Try pressing both vol+ and vol- for selection. If doesn't work, try flashing Retail British rom in from that link. It will work i used that when my DEFY got bricked. It will work. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Cya

PD: sorry for my spanglish.
PD2:you dont need to use that recovey... 1- root :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10868750/SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse.zip or
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10868750/Super One Click 2.1.1.zip

when I press the two buttons at the same time, back on the previous screen (with the "Android +!") push the two buttons toggles in and out of the recovery options.

I have a Bayer Defy MB525. and was no downgrade, do not know why this so, because I was with the Ms2ginger before the problem

the link has 3 versions of british retail, I installed the second

JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_BLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB02C.0R_USAJORDANRTGB_P035_A011_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz

but it is no boot, I'll try the latest version (or all if necessary)
anyway, thanks for the help.

Thank's art-jcd but the Chinese do not start, black screen only ... This recovery does not accept touch screen

... I know all the procedures and installation root, the problem is I can not apply the wipes

know what to do, just do not know how to do

thanks,
i hope my defy will be alright soon..
btw, thanks first.

SAMHUI94 ... Same Problem ?? (Click Thank's

)

I think many people will still go through the same situation, a lot of confusion between kernel.

I applied last sbf british proposed by janeindiran, but it did not work

my Defy is MB525 (Bayer) can only do turn-on with the ROM DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1 134_DFP-231 I think is the Nordic ...

... does anyone know if there other tools to try access the recovery menu?

Sorry for the Poor English

If you flash the rom all data will be lost. Why are you try to access recovery menu. Try this:JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-003_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8RTGB03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTGB_P019_A010_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz

Don't enter recovery until first boot gets completed. Usually recovery does show those messages.

Tell whether it works??

omarvin · Apr 26, 2012

until now recovery always showing this message, i ever waiting for the end of RSD but didn't work ...

My bootloader is locked, I cannot downgrade, so I think the Defy ROM U32xx or U33xx not will work, I tried several but nothing happens, the red logo appears, enable recovery (corrupted as shown in picture) and stay in bootloop only when i flash 4.5.1-134_DFP-231xx

I Change to RSD Lite 5.6 - Win7(5.5.0 x64 Drivers), Win XP (with 5.5.0 x86 Drivers) <<< All Updated

A N D ...

Nada, Nothing !

in the past i loved motorola, today i HATE, my next Android only with unlocked bootloader

i think theres no Ninja who can help me

BTW : Thanks a Lot !

kelbygreen · Apr 26, 2012

you might of upgraded the kernel to high. I tried to install 231 and it failed and I tried so many roms with all failing! I flashed with a 2311 rom and it worked.

Not sure if you used this kernel but anything lower will not work. Also you cannot root 231.

If you have 231 have a read of this link to root it

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542956

You should be able flash them threw RSD lite it wone get you back to stock rom but it will get your phone working.

If you know you dont have 231 kernel I would try other options first as you cant downgrade from it thats why no other roms would work for me.

exactly, I'm caught in the 231 kernel, I can not start any rom with previous kernel, always boot error

the problem is unable to apply or wipes and select the "update.zip" within the original bootloader, none of these basic steps work for me, I need a 231 sbf with an alternative recovery or otherwise applying the wipes, I think the system is confusing, I do not know

See this video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd9EjgvcbXY

I've done it over 100 times

... tks !

Try flashing with the rom which belongs to your phone's country.
