Boot loopin after sbf

I tried to sbf, it got done and rsd said phone has to be powered up manually. So i tried to turn it on and all it does is boot loop. My computer wont pick it up. Since its not rooted can i boot into recovery? What do i do?

Got it into bootloader and sbf'd again. Still boot loopin. What do I do? Someone please help me!!!

Wipe data and cache from the stock recovery.
1. Pull your battery.
2. Turn on your phone while holding the 'up' arrow on the keyboard
3. Hold until you are in stock recovery.
4. Press the magnifying glass on the keyboard to see the menu
5. Select data wipe and then cache wipe (using the volume buttons. or arrow keys and the camera or 'ok' button to select)
6. Then reboot system and you should be good to go.
Also how did you sbf?

You have to borrow somebody's charged battery. Or find a way to get yours charged because the phone won't charge without some software running.
Once you get a working battery try the steps I gave you to get into stock recovery if you would like/need more help with any of the steps just let me know.
(the D1's battery will work if you have a friend with a D1. I don't know about the DX though.)

Did you try to SBF while running a ROM? I think its best be rooted stock at least to SBF. I had problems SBFing if I wasn't stock.

ok, i got a battery. but when i try to use the up arrow and power button to get into recovery it just goes into bootloader. i sbf'd from fission 2.2.1. so yea, i was runnin a rom. ive never had so much trouble messin with a phone before. i know its not bricked but i am getting frustrated...
BOOM!!! Got it baby!! OK, so its x and power to boot into stock recovery. Worked like a charm! And on the bright side, i scored a D1 for 100. I needed a battery, buddy had a nearly perfect droid...hooked it up

[Q] defy stuck at motorola boot screen after flash

i flash my phone with a custom rom from this forum
succesfull until RSD Lite step
after RSD Lite, my phone stuck at Motorola logo with blur
tried pull off and pulling on the batery with power and volume up, it got back to bootloader screen
try aother RSD Power, it is still the same
Progress till 100 persen, but the phone stucked at motorola blur logo
any solution, guys?
thanks

What were you trying to flash?

I try to upgrade to froyo.
it stuck after RSD Lite step

Well first, is your phone rooted? Secondly, what stock version did you have?
I think I can get you up and running with Froyo

you may try to install your original version/build number sbf. if its work, maybe you can try flash froyo ROM again. then when you finished restore custom ROM all you have to do is go to bootloader then flash boot/devtree only sbf.. dont pull usb connection. but if RSD want you to turn phone manually then you need to press power button even though your phone at booting state..

i got the same problem, everything was working fine before i done it a couple times but then i used miui and my phone battery died and it wouldnt work after that so i decided to flash with rsd lite and after doing everything normally its just stuck at the motorola and moto blur symbol/animation thing. really frustrating.

did you find fix?

What SBF file did you use?
Have you tried another file?

get into stock recover (Vol Up + Power) then wipe data/cache

Half Bricked
I have an Mb525 rooted (that was) running stock 2.2 Blurred. I installed the Defy boot loader and hard reset/wiped partitions and (tried to) install cm7 from SD, it installs fine, goes fine, everything is all set. Reboot the device and the splash image pops up with the white LED first, then the blue one for boot loader, and finally the green one. It stays on splash screen. I tried 2 different versions of cm7 and both do the same thing. I'm able to access the boot loader, it just doesn't finish loading whatever I flash onto it.
As my phone is dysfunctional, I would appreciate it if you could contact me through my Skype;

I won't receive emails.. =/
Specs:
Moto Defy shipped with 2.1
Rooted
Red Lense
T-Mobile, U.S.A.
Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.

to go in stock recovery u must use Vol Down + Power

Solution
I had this problem. Found a solution at 4pda.ru
1. Shut down your phone.
2. Hold Volume- button, press Power button for 2 seconds. Then release both.
3. When you see Android robot press together both Volume+ and Volume- buttons.
4. Erase both Cache and Data.
5. Reboot.
Your phone should boot normally.

help motorola bravo

My motorola bravo was being updated when it became a brick. The phone comes on and puts a red M and there does not advance. You can not do the recovery. I need an idea of how to revive it. And try to install but nothing happens sbf reposition the M and there does not happen.

did you boot into bootloader (by holding power + volume up) and then apply the sbf?

and remove your battery and reinstall it.

If I've done both and what comes out is only the red M

your not holding the vol up earlier enough do the following:
1) take out the battery
2) press and hold down the vol up button
3) w/o releasing rhe vol up button, put the battery in.
4) within 3 seconds a black screen will come up with white text.
5) do the sbf
i have bricked the bravo so hard during development and always been able to get to a bootloader screen. one time i bricked so hard it went directly to the bootloader, so you def. can get in to sbf, unless you vol rocker is broken, then you may be screwed. in that case plug int he phone, let it bootloop and try to start the sbf, it might reboto into bootloader for you, but probably not.

so then you should reboot holding vol down and then the recovety will load.
hit vol up and vol down at the same time to load options.
then wipe cache and wipe data.
wiping data is prob only way u can fix it if you already successfully flashed the sbf.

Thanks for the help.
perform the sbf file down twice again but the phone only puts the M, will not let me enter recovery, I think it is a complete brick and not know what else to do.
Too bad there is no sbf2.1 for testing.

hmmm, unless you are going straight to a bootloader screen you should still be able to enter recovery. my only guess is the update was in the middle of updating your recovery when something went wrong and the recovery image is corrupt.
sbf not working plus no access to recovery sounds like a real true brick possibly.
make sure you hold down the vol down and w/o letting go you put the battery in, when you are in this bootloop that is the only way to be sure you get in to recovery.
what happens when you hold down vol down and put the battery in? does it do anything different at all?

The phone was damaged because it was downloaded in the middle of an upgrade.
when I hold the power and volume down, I put the battery and three seconds later reappears M, does not load the recovery.
I think I'm going to give up.
May be taking it to a store at & t service, can do something?

Take it to the at&t store. Since it is so badly damaged due to the update "failing" they can replace it with warranty

I'm a rep @ an AT&T corporate location. Yea, if that update failed, we take care of it. I assume you're referring to the OTA 2.2.

Reviving an old thread as where comeranas left off is where I am at.
Wife has a new phone already so I am just trying to revive this one. If not, it goes into garbage.
The screen has been powering up to the Motorola logo only. I can hold the volume up and power button to get to the bootloader/usb screen.
I cannot get to the recovery screen by holding the volume down and power button. No matter how many times I try and in what combination, it always powers up to the Motorola logo.
I ran the sbf file on it twice with RSD Lite and each time when it gets to the part of re-booting it says "Phone is being rebooted."
Then after the progress gets to a 100%, it says, "Please manually power up this phone."
The Motorola logo is on the screen and I have tried to simply push the power button, pull the battery and re-insert it and pull the battery, hold the volume button down and re-insert the battery all while still hooked up to the computer.
After a few minutes the Results box says Passed. But the phone still goes no further than the Motorola logo.
So as of now, the phone still only powers up to the Motorola logo and goes no further.
Naturally it had to start acting up 2 weeks out of warranty. Dang blang warranty timers installed in these phones. lol!

You can try sbf_flash on Linux and both the full and fixed sbf with it. I'm on phone now, so I can't give good instructions or links, but sbf_flash is around in one of the recovery threads here, and the fixed sbf is at quarx2k.ru and my rom mirror (see signature).
If you need it, I can make a Linux Live tutorial for sbf flash, only requirement would be 512mb usb stick or memory card.
I once had to flash sbf 3 times in a row to fix a brick from an accidental Defy kernel flash in cwm.

So the sbf files you are referring to are different than the 2.2.1 sbf file HERE?
I don't run Linux on my comp.
I'll look at the fixed sbf file in your sig. Maybe I just need to run it over and over again until the phone pops. lol! Thanks.

The fixed sbf contains the bootloader and kernel and it for when you write to either of them and need to reflash back to stock. Handy for when you accidentally flash a Defy from with a boot.img
You don't have to install linux, just use a Live CD and place sbf_flash and the sbf files on a memory stick. Once the Live CD boots, the memory stick should be on the desktop. Open the folder and right click "Open Terminal Here". In the terminal first type:
su
then
chmod 0777 ./sbf_flash
then
./sbf_flash ./fixed_bravo_sbf.sbf
or
./sbf_flash ./p4_kobe_umts_kobe_user_3.4.2-125_KOB_FFW-4_product-keys-ATT-US_ATT-signed.sbf
Just download one of these for your pc's architecture, if you're unsure, then any of the 32-bits will work.
http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
The reason I suggest using sbf_flash and Linux is that its supposed to fix phones that sbf flashing with RDS Lite won't fix, and it'll flash files that RDS won't like modded root sbfs. Apparently it flashes differently. Don't ask me the difference cause I don't know.
Good Luck.
You said that you couldn't get to the Stock recovery menu, your volume button isn't broke is it? And have you tried up+power and down+power? Kicking it? JK, but throwing my old razr flip phone into the couch as hard as I could used to fix it....it would freeze on boot, but a good toss and it was good as new.

Thanks, gonna give it a try.
I am kinda wondering at this point if the down volume is broke. Though if it was, she would have said something about it before it went down.
I did smack it a few times to no avail. lol!

Can't get back to stock

I am having the same issues. When i boot and hold down the power and vol up button, i just get the motorola logo and it sticks there until I pull the battery. I tried to go to bootstrapper and when i click on reboot recovery, nothing happens. When I click on Bootstrap recovery, it give an error where it looks like i need to root the phone.
All I want to do is get this phone to the factory settings as it has Gingerbread on it now. If you can send me something on how to do that, please let me know.
I did backup using clockwork, but since I can't boot into it, i can't restore.
Thanks

is your phone rooted? if not, then bootstrap wont work, and that also means clockwork wont work. to get back to factory, your going to have to flash the sbf, heres a vid on it:
http://kimete.com/sbfrsd.html
by the way, you dont get into recovery with volume up, you do it by pressing the x button on the keyboard when booting up, then pressing the magnifying glass button once in recovery.

So wait will or won't the phone actually turn on? If it'll turn on just do a factory data reset in android from the menu.

stucked in moto logo , holding x doesnt works

hey guys after some problems with gb cyanogen 10 by tezet i tried to flash stock rom retail italy 2.3.4, but when the flashing process in rsd lite ""say power up the phone manually" the phone is already stucked in moto logo, i try to press power button but nothing happens. if i press volume up+down it goes ahead in moto logo pulsing animation, but get stuck in that animation. i tried to go into exclamation mark menu by removing battery pressing x then insert battery still holding x and power on but nothing happens.

Push and hold x+power until menu appears. Then push volume up and down at the same time
