[Q] Stuck on Moto Screen

I think I may have bricked my phone beyond repair. I initially had a problem rooting my dx after the .340 update. I flashed to .320 using rsd lite. That seemed to do the trick. I was able to reroot. I created a nandroid backup.
Last night my phone died. I put on the wall charger for a couple hours. Now the device boots to the moto screen and freezes. I was able to get into recover using the home button. I used the recovery and the device was fixed...i thought. It only lasted about 10 min. Now I am back at the moto screen. I have access to recovery but not bootstrap...the factory recovery. I tried a factory reset no luck. I have done battery pulls w/wo sd card...no luck. Also I have no access to the bootloader any more.
Any ideas or am I outta luck?

No bootloader.. weird. I think you are out of luck. try vol up and vol dwn while phone is off then hit the power button to turn phone on keep holding the vol buttons until a exclamation mark appears then let go of vol keys hit the search button. see it that boots you into recovery.

For bootloader access...hold volume down and camera button after doing a battery pull.
For stock recovery after a battery pull...hold home and camera button, release home at M screen, wait for triangle press search key, data/cache wipe and factory reset, reboot.
For clockwork...plug phone into wall charger, battery pull, wait for green screen, put battery back in and clockwork should be there

verizon is overnighting me a new phone. the rep said the last .340 update had corrupt files.
thanks for all the support. i appreciate it!

[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;

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.

logo m and no recovery HELP:(

hi i have flashed cm902 rom it booted up but it dont like me cause makes eroros so i wanted ro reflash with old stock 2,3,3 and with recovery bootstrap i thinked what i wild came into recovery but it just hanged and now no recovery only white triangle with yelow! and only logo m, so maybe someone hav this problem earlier and can help me?cause now im searching half day of work for searching for solution.
thanks fo anny help

Dont worry. Do this. First use the wall charger and charge your phone for at least 30mins. So if your phone is off then it will charge till 70-80%. Check if it is charging by looking at the micro-usb port lighting up.
Now go to the White triangle with ! mark. Then press @ button. You will get options. Select erase data by pressing volume button and then clicking enter button on your keypad.
After the wipe has been done pull out battery. Then start RSD Lite on your computer. Put the battery to your phone. Now press both volume up and volume down together and then power button for 2secs. Leave power button. You will see it in bootloader.
Now load sbf file on RSD software and wait for it to recognize your phone. Then click start. Thats it. Your phone should be ok.

[Q] Factory update then no screen?

I did a factory update on a friends phone and everything went well. Then when it got to the lock screen it was blank. The bar at top displays well, but the rest of the screen is just black. I have let it sit for a bit and still nothing. I also cycled power a few times to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

O-o very wierd indeed...i'd say -> send for repair
Sent from my 1Ghz CM7 Defy

if you are ok with loosing data then do this...
switch off mobile.
press vol - button and then power on with vol - pressed.
you will see a triangle and exclaimation mark.
then press vol - and vol + together
then wipe data
then wipe cache
reboot.
how this solves the problem.
iif not then you flash using rsdlite a officially full sbf of your region... 2.2.2 froyo

Urgent Help - Defy bricked itself!! stuck on red M logo - going away in 6 hours!!!

So everything was running fine - i was on the last CM7 build ( maniacs final ) with a BL7 defy, left it on charge overnight and when i came ot it this morning its stuck on the red M logo and wont boot - and recovery has gone as well - no blue LED.
I can boot into the bootloader, but thats about it, the standard recovery menu wont appear either.
need help fast - please....

Ive just tried re-flashing the SBF files as per the instructions on rooting a bl7 defy, while it appeared to go OK, the phone is still stuck on the red motorola logo - no blue LED - please help....

Recovery mode doesnt work, after pulling the battery and re-starting i t whilst pressing power down, the only thing that happens is a red motorola logo, and there it stays.
please help...... ive got three hours to fix this.

Power it off fully by taking out the battery and wait for a few minutes. Then press Vol- and then power button, till ! mark comes. Then press both Vol+ and vol-.

thanks, left it for a good few minutes, all i get is a few minutes of black screen, followed by the red motorola logo, still nothing,
the weird thing is that it bricked itself after running fine for the last few weeks.

Hmmm, that worked for me. Took out the battery, left it for 2 minutes. I put back the battery, nothing happened. Then I realized that the phone had gone off so I did what I told you.

I can get to the bootloader with no problem, stock recovery on the other hand is completely absesnt

You're not doing it correctly I suspect. However, flash an sbf and try.

By not doing it right, what do you mean?? this is what ive been doing take out battery - wait - replace battery and then hold power button down then hold the power button while keeping the volume down key pressed
RSD lite is showing the device as Omap3630 and imei as N/A

What I mean is that when you put the battery back, the phone should not switch on (the moto symbol should not come)
As long as it shows in RSDlite, its all good.

THE BLUE LED ONLY COMES WHEN CUSTOM RECOVERY IS INSTALLED.
SEE GOOGLE ON HOW TO ENTER STOCK RECOVERY. IF YOU MANAGED TO USE RSDLITE THEN I'M SURE YOU CAN GO TO STICK RECOVERY.
When you put back the battery, does the phone start? If it does then remove it and wait a little longer and try. It should work, it has worked for me. Plus If it shows in rsdlite you can try flashing to stock.
