Hello,

I had to put my phone to repair because it died completely. Today I got my phone back, they replaced the battery and main PCB.

Before the repair I used CM7 on the phone without any problems. I also installed CM7 on another 3 Defys of my friends, so I pretty much know what am I doing.

The problem I have is that if I flash CM7 (any version - 7.1, 7.2RC, nightly) or MIUI, the phone stays in an endless restarting loop. Sometimes it even boots up completely and then restarts again.

The strange thing is that if I flash back the original ROM (jrdnem_u3_3.4.2_179-002) the phone works without any problems.

Do you have any idea what might be wrong or what should I try?

Try wiping data/cache before and after flashing CM/MIUI.

I know its not necessary and u r following the right process. Sometimes these things just do the trick. :)

I tried that, unfortunately it didn't help. I don't know what can be wrong with the phone. Maybe the overclocking from 800 MHz to 1 GHz causes the problem.

Do you know if I can disable it somehow? Or is there another 2.3 ROM which I could try?
