[Q] Incredibly Frustrated With This Defy Help Please?

[lilhugo]

Hello Community!
I just got the Defy for my mother, and I am currently trying to put Miui on it for my mom. This one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110

I'm currently stuck right now... I was able to flash using RSD lite the nordic 2.2.2 sbf (3.4.2_177,) but whenever I put an SD card into the phone I'm stuck waiting for it to boot.

Please don't say "first boot takes a long time." I went to work and worked 9 hours and left the phone on waiting for it to boot... It didn't boot. I really hope that the first boot isn't supposed to be longer than 9 hours.

Not having an sd card prevents me from downloading any apps from the market (2nd init) or even putting CWM on the phone...

I've tried to ADB push, but whenever I try it, it says "fail" because of "read only."
I then try "adb shell sysrw" and that doesn't work either...

I've tried the T-Mobile SBF and the UK SBF, they both boot, but once the SD card is in. No go.

Can anyone offer any help??

Thank You,
lilhugo


edit: I forgot to mention I've tried 4 different micro sd cards, 1 2gb class 2, 2 8gb class 4, 1 32 gb class 10 and they all read perfectly fine on my Sensation.
By it didn't boot, I mean that it was stuck at the M logo forever.

First suggestion: wipe data and cache using stock recovery.

I've done that. It din't help. =/ I also used the format/factory reset from stock recovery too.

I'm curious if I would be able to any of the Gingerbread sbfs and use that MIUI rom. Anyone know?

it can sill work if you update your bl to version5(GB2.3.4,NOT2.3.6),so you could try to flash GB SBFs.

Okay I'll try that. Thankfully the person I bought this phone from kept it bone-stock... I'll report back if doing that helped.
