Today i accidentally removed motoblur accounts from my rooted defy with root uninstaller pro and did not back up before uninstalling.I am no longer able to access accounts in the settings menu.Im getting a force close and do not want to factory reset my handset because im afraid i will not be able to get past the initial motoblur accounts setup.How can i reinstall this app without doing a factory reset.ihave another moto rooted phone with motoblur and was thinking sticking my sd card in it uninstalling motoblur accounts saving to sd/backup/apk..stick the sd back in the defy and try to reinstall.dont think this will work but if anyone has a solution let me know.Thanks
dont factory restore ! it only wipes user data so accounts would not be restored and as you say you will not be able to complete setup
Yeah thats what i thought.My phone still works awesome but i cant factory reset.Is there a way to reinstall motobull**** version 3.6.360 back on my defy? Been looking around but found nothing yet.Well if theres no solution it gives me more reason to buy an Atrix.
How would getting another phone prevent problems caused by the user?
Hey Naenee getting another phone will not prevent user error.If you read the post properly it says the app was removed by accident.It had been backed up with TB before but when i went to reinstall blur accounts it was corrupt.Hey ish happens....So if you cant help or have a solution keep it moving...Anyway im [email protected]/62 using Adw launcher/honeycomb theme with tango video chat,tikl ptt,barnacle wifi tether,etc etc etc and my defy runs amazing.No fc's or reboots no problems at all.I dont use blur for anything.I know blur still lurks in the background but i have no use for it except to push my email and its still working properly.My only problem is not being able to change or manage accounts and my check for updates is no longer working..The Atrix is an amazing piece of hardware ive had my eye on for a while and want bad!!! I ask again can i reinstall blur 3.6.360 on my defy?? Somebody has to know...
Theres always an option of reflashing the .sbf, if u cant get the backup from someone else
What specific APK would that be?
I can upload it for you if you want...
Sent you the file I believe is what you're looking for.
Let me know...
Thanks!
Fast-Droid... You should post progress and whether/how this problem was fixed and all steps taken! This way the whole community can learn from all of our mistakes!! That is indeed the point of these forums. The devs and senior members go out of their way to help us and then they say here I am giving you tools and ideas to help you, let me know if it works.... and then no response on your end? That makes this thread completely useless other than your personal gain... Don't take offense, it's just that these good people have helped me more than once and all they want in return is status updates: What worked and what didn't so that the whole community can learn what makes these phones "tick"
acctually,you can flash ur phone via RSD LITE with ur ROM's fully Sbf.
No need to wipe,and u'll find everything is OK
Hello fello defiers, sorry for the absence but i been busy with work,wifey,kids....Anyway i got my phone back up after semi bricking it by flashing the wrong SBF to fix my accounts mess,yet the solution was rather simple........First id like to say if you received the T-MO blur-3.6.360 update like i did by OTA before i fubared my phone(The white light black screen syndrome) The only thing that worked for me after flashing almost every SBF i could possibly find was to use the T-MO signed leaked froyo 2.2.1-3.4.2.... I used RSDlite 4.9 with the latest moto drivers and it booted right up first try.All seems to be working fine but I'm not getting 3G now....However I've already found the solution for it i just haven't had the time to try it yet.....I also noticed some1 just put up a signed froyo 2.2.2 i haven't gotten around to yet that might possibly work....Anyway Id like to give a shout out to Beach-Head and all the other Doc Browns on XDA for helping me fix the major malfunction with my flux capacitor lol...(scratches head and ponders when phones will manifest worm holes).... If it werent for XDA and the info available on here my phone would still be a useless $400 waterproof brick.Thanks!!
Hi guys... First post here as i seem to be stuck.. My phone is a DHD.
I'm not new to rooting or custom ROM's as i often change the ROM on my phone easily without any problems.. Done it 40-50 times now. Never had a problem. I'm used to the AAHK and know what i'm doing.. However, last night i got fed up of the ROM i had, been having some teething troubles lately so figured i'd put it back to stock and then root again and flash a new ROM, this always solves my problems. Now i always have a few others stored on my SD card incase one won't work (i sometimes get the bad installation, aborted) message and i'm not left without a working ROM, but wanted to unroot and put back to stock so opened the AAHK and proceeded as normal to do so ..
Everything was running fine, writing codes as it should, then when it came to the radio downgrade, it got to a part where it usually moves on to the next stage fairly quickly, but this time it just hung.. I left it a few mins to see if it would carry on, no such luck.. I had no choice but to remove the cable and try again.. Now i'm not a fan of removing cables midway through, but it would have just hung forever so i had no choice..
Anyway.. I can still access the CWM screen and have tried every option to get it to do something, but no matter what i do, i can't get past either the white HTC screen or the Black background with the red triangle.. The files are still there on my SD card obviously, i can access them via a card reader, it's just the phone won't move on as i'm guessing the downgrade being interrupted left it with corrupt data... I would have thought running the AAHK again would have started from scratch and just re-run, but this obviously isn't the case.. Any ideas what to do?

Why are you running the Hack Kit being S-OFF? there is no use in doing that. You could have flashed a different rom from recovery after doing a full wipe and everything might have been solved, if it was a software issue.

Yes i realise that.. That's how i always flashed new ROM's. i could have a new ROM installed in minutes that way, but the reason i was running the hack kit was to put it back to S-ON and stock RUU.. As far as i was aware you had to run the hack kit to put it back to stock, that's the only way of doing it is it not?..
But that's not the problem, my problem now is, getting the phone to show some signs of wanting to get past either screen.

Are you still S-OFF? then flash recovery again and then a custom rom. Problem solve. If you want to revert to stock, then do that first and the set S-ON the second time...just in case.

Yes it is still S-OFF, but it won't let me flash anything, run bootloader, access the SD card or i wouldn't have the problem i have..
If i hold volume down and power, i get the usual screen with fastboot, recovery, factory reset, simlock and image crc.. I've tried every one of these apart from the simlock with the same results.. Nothing.. If i select recovery, it flashes the white HTC screen as if it's going to boot, then i get the black phone with the red triangle and it won't go any further.. If i hold volume up and power at that stage, it gives me the apply sdcard:update.zip (which i can't seem to access or just don't have, i'm not sure) and the wipe data/factory reset and cache options..
The only thing it tells me on the screen is E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I fear i can't do anything with this phone, even trying to get the hack kit to run is a pain and keeps giving me several errors including the ECHO OFF message. I presume this is because having done the wipe cache and data, i've removed the usb debugging priviliges..

You have to flash a recovery in fastboot.....no other way will work.

How do i do that exactly?? If i select fastboot, it takes me to the next screen which has bootloader, reboot, reboot bootloader and power down, and again, no matter what i press it won't open any external folders or do anything..

Ryan, from now on, know that if you lie on what you did your phone to someone trying to help you is the worst thing ever. Not only because it won't help to fix it but also because I could also have scr*wed your device by doing some flashing on a messed bootloader.
Lying is the worst strategy ever....I am done. You won't get any help from me anymore. Congrats.

You've misread the situation.. I didn't lie to you about anything, ok, i was unsure of what i'd done, but i certainly didn't ask for help to mislead you and help break my phone. Why would i do that??? I genuinely got stuck with a problem that i didn't know how to get out of.. To be honest i've never had a problem with it before and didn't realise you had to know every single piece of info about it, most of which you forget whilst trying to sort it anyway, and i can't remember if it was flashed previously with a stock ROM or not, but what you mentioned sounded familiar which is why i said i think it might have been, but i can't be 100% certain on that..
I feel bad that you saw it as misleading, as i didn't feel i had been, and that certainly wasn't my intention.. But even though you are unwilling to help me again, i thank you very much for the help you gave me, without you it would still be in a useless state. Thankfully, i have managed to get it working perfectly again and will be more careful in future..

What's wrong with you dude?
If someone doesn't have a knowledge on something (misunderstoods, etc..) it doesn't mean hes lying, lol.

Maybe you don´t have a clue on what happened. What's up with me? I will tell you what is going on...i spend many hours of my life helping people in here and in the Hack Kit IRC Support Channel for free, I do it because I enjoy it and don't expect anything in return.
But the worst thing ever is to come accross someone that lies about what he did to his phone. I have been around this site for about 2 years now and never made a brick, do you know why? because I always make sure to follow instructions and ask people what they did in order to provide the best fix, if possible.
When you spend and hour trying to figure out what is going on and trying to flash something and then find out that a froyo RUU might have been flashed (perhaps, I don´t know, not sure...WTF???) and what you did might have scr*wed his phone, it really makes me angry and feel cheated.
To sum up, my time...my decision...maybe you can help him yourself instead of questioning me.

Like SmOgER said before you Glevitan, i wasn't lying, you just got annoyed with me because i didn't give you 100% of the info you needed, and the only reason for that was because i didn't know it!! When you think you're phone is playing up, you try various ways to get it right again, i'm sorry i don't keep track of every little step i did and i'm sorry this displeased you. But a liar i am not.. The term more appropriate would be clueless!!
You have to accept that us newbies just don't know anywhere near as much about these phones and how they work as you do.. It doesn't mean i lied.. What you see as a misrepresentation of facts doesn't mean i am a liar, it just means i didn't give you the info you wanted, simply because i didn't know it, not that i was withholding it on purpose, THAT would have been bad!!
I am no expert like you, i just root and ROM like most people and hope that it goes right...
Like i said before, i really appreciate the time you took to help me and didn't go unnoticed, and it's great that you help people like me for free, but maybe you should take it a bit easier on the newbies if they're not so expert.. My 1st post asking for help and i already feel like i'm not welcome anymore.. That's pretty bad for such a big community!!
SmOgER.. At least YOU understood where i was coming from..
1. Flashing a Froyo RUU is an important stop on the quick path to bricking your phone, and that warning is splashed all over AAHK and other documentation. That's why glevitan is so upset about not being told of the possibility that you might have done it: it's very bad, and users should know that it's very bad, and it wastes a lot of time.
2. Not knowing what you're doing and messing with your phone, and then not keeping track of what you're doing, is extremely unwise. When helping out on XDA, I personally don't expect everyone to know everything, but taking basic precautions really does seem like common sense.
3. Next time, read similar threads that came before you and ask the community. For example: I have X problem. I have researched and found Y and Z thread links with similar symptoms. I am considering trying what A suggested in Y. Is that the wisest course of action? Then you show that you have done your part in solving your own problem, and the community will respect that, even if you're way off base.
Obviously, I personally wasn't there on teamviewer, so I have no idea about the clueless v. lying thing.

Yes i understand what you're saying, and i appreciate most of it. However, it's not often practical or even possible in some cases to write down or note everything you do in a documented fashion.. And like you might have previously missed, i have flashed various ROM's 40-50 times, and the AAHK has worked perfectly for me everytime except the last where it took it upon itself to just freeze on me, it was a computer issue, not a human error.. Also, why would reflashing a Froyo RUU to a phone that was originally shipped as a Froyo unit cause any problems??
I don't understand that part..
One final note, i did have a look through similar threads, but there are so may threads with similar symptoms that it's hard to sift through them all for a definitive answer, and even when you do read them, only one or two parts might be relevant, if any.. So it's quicker to come straight out and ask rather than waste hours trawling through them all to no avail i think.
Whatever happened doesn't matter anymore. Lesson learned.
You seem like a nice guy. Let's back on topic.
Is the issue solved or not?
Try to state what is the current issue. What was the state of the phone when it was working. What happened or what were you trying to do when it got messed up. What have you tried so far. Etc, etc, etc. The more the info the better.
Edit: Nevermind. You *******, you flashed a froyo hboot on your HTC Inspire/DHD after we’ve warned NOT to for over a year. Here’s the fix:
Sent from a dream.

It is not about if you are an expert or not...I am not, belive me. But I am wise enough to read and try to learn. Doing things like a monkey will not excuse you.
If you don't understand, maybe it is time for you to buy an Iphone. Hacking is not for the lazy b*stards who don't even know what they do. And belive me, your story is hard to belive, running the Hack Kit with a custom rom is not possible...you should have got stuck, that is how it works.
YOUR PHONE....YOUR PROBLEM...I don't give a penny for it.

I wouldn't be seen dead with an iPhone.. I hate Apple and Apple products for that specific reason. They don't give the freedom of open source and don't allow real control. But i will be more careful in future and learn from my mistakes.. However, i'm not a lazy bastard hacker as you so put it, and i don't care for the accusation of being one either, please be careful what you say in future as statements like that are completely uncalled for ..
I understand you are somewhat unhappy with me, but please don't resort to slating me. I wouldn't do the same to you if you were wrong.
And yes Teichopsia.. I am a nice guy, thank you for noticing.. I realise now i made a mistake and i just got stuck, but the phone is now running absolutely flawlessly thank you..
