[Q] Defy stuck on Motorola's logo and can't access the recovery mode

Hello guys, first, sorry for my bad english.
I'm having some problems with my defy, I was using the CM7 for months but now it start to stuck on Motorola's logo and when I tried to access the stock recovery, by pressing Power + volume down, anything happened, I only can access the bootloader by pressing Power + volume up.
So I tried to flash a old SBF that I have here, but, when the device will start again, it stuck on Motorola's logo again.
Then I downloaded a SBF that seems to be the "original of my phone version" and flashed it, but the device stills stucking at the Motorola's logo.
I think that I need to wipe data/cache, but how?!?
Any advices??
I need my phoneee!!

Sorry, I don`t understand

He is saying you should start over and flash the Nordic SBF again.
But it would be helpful to know which SBF's you've tried which didn't work. What RSD lite version you are using? I'm using RSD Lite 5.3.1 and the 5.1.0 motorola driver and never had issues.
Don't forget to "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache" in Stock Recovery (power + vol down) before flashing.
Also, what did you do before CM7 stopped working. It doesn't break for no reason.

Im using RSD lite 4.9 and I don't know the version of the drivers...
And I could not wipe data/cache because I could not access the stock recovery
when I tried to access the stock recovery, by pressing Power + volume down, anything happened, I only can access the bootloader by pressing Power + volume up.

To enter stock recovery: Power up phone and press the vol down button. When you see the android icon push volume up and down at the same time.

Sorry, missed that part.
Well ... I don't recall reading about such behaviour before - unless the battery is dead.
But then you wouldn't be able to get the bootloader either.
I would try again to get into recovery and make sure you press the power + vol up buttons for a few seconds before releasing.
And out of curiosity: what exactly did you do when CM7 stopped working. It doesn't break for no reason.

I tried to enter in the recovery mode a lot of times and nothing!
I didn't done anything diferent that could make CM7 stop, it stopped by itself!

Guys, I'm thinking in send it to a techinical support, of Motorola.
What do you think?

I got a similar situation as our friend here. Today I had shutdown my Defy (rooted + stock 2.2.1) when i tried to turn It on again It got stuck at the operator logo forever!
I did the clear data from recovery and I got my cellphone back to live. Thanks!

Im Stuck too...
I have a problem with my Defy MB525, This morning I woke up and found the cell with the Android Logo with Exclamation, it was really hot so I turn off pulling the battery.
Then I tried to power ON but still stuck on Motorola's logo, in trying to enter the recovery (Pressing vol+ and Power but nothing, same pressing vol-).
the strangest of all is that my Defy don't display the white led, so it's not charging?
As far as I was to the symbol of android with red exclamation, I tried pressing the volume buttons but none served.
I was looking in other threads but nothing helps me, can you help me please? thanks.

droid x boot Loop, and Can't get into Recovery Mode

I used sbf_flash in linux to flash the 602 sbf image from verizon (My carrier). This worked as expected, and I was able to root the phone from there. I installed Rom manager and Droid 2 bootstrap, and took a backup image.
I should point out that Rom manager would not take an image on its own, it only rebooted the phone, I had to use the menu in droid 2 bootstrap to create the backup.
I installed the miui rom, and after a while decided to switch back, but Rom Manager and Droid 2 bootstrap wouldn't work. (I've heard you're not supposed to use bootstrap from miui. It rebooted my phone and seemed to have erased my phone's data).
I tried to sbf flash my phone again to get back to stock gingerbread, but now it boots in a loop at the red ball logo. If I hold home and the volume buttons when pressing power to get to recovery mode, the triangle appears but no menu loads.
Am I stuck? Please tell me that something can be done with ADB or some other recovery tool.
EDIT:
Nevermind I was following the Froyo instructions to get into recovery mode I needed to to follow the gingerbread instructions:
Froyo Instructions:
take out battery and reinsert
hold the home key and the power button when turning on
press search to get into recovery
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
reboot
NOTE: the volume up/down are move up down; camera is select; and power is go back.
Gingerbread Instructions:
Pull the battery and reinstall
Hold home and power as you turn it on
Press both volume keys simultaneously at the droid/triangle screen
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Reboot
NOTE: the volume up/down are move up down; power is select; back key moves back

Yeah I was gonna say to wipe everything in recovery if you could then try download mode but you got it ha.

I know what to do! Disable USB debugging and it will work. rememeber to enable it back once finished.
Edit:
Oh. I thought you have problems getting to cwm.

[Q]Milestone2 after update 2.3.4 often throws error

I recently upgraded Motorola Milestone 2 with Android 2.3.4 via motorola system upgrade
Before that I had froyo android that was installed with the phone when purchased
Is it possible to get back to froyo?
with 2.3.4 too often I get this error The application Home (com.motorola.blur.home process) has stopped unexpectedly.
and gives me the Force Quit button. I tried to reset the phone but did not help.
Before the upgrade I had this version
system version 62.4.24.a953.retail.en.it
firmware 2.2.2
mils2_U6_2.4.24
Now the phone
system version 64.1.22.A935.Retail.en.IT
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version EPU93_U_00.60.00
Kernel version 2.6.32.9-g7d2667a
Build number MILS2_U6_4.1-22
If there is a possibility to come back to froyo,
I do not know which Firmware Version should I put the phone and how to do.
Or maybe it is possible that with an identical model milestone2 purchased in the same shop at the same time which is still froyo,
backup and then do the backup I put in my phone?
(friend and I bought the same phone, it is not upgraded.)
If I missed the topic
move the post where it belongs, thanks
use a translator,
I hope to understand

You can't go back to Froyo now. Not through any backup etc.
I think you should try a data wipe. You will lose all your data after the wipe.
Power down your phone.
Power up your phone while holding the 'X' button.
You should reach a screen with '!' sign.
At this point, press vol up + Vol down simultaneously.
A recovery menu will pop up.
There will be an option to wipe data.
Scroll down using vol down.
Select 'wipe data' using camera button.
Try rebooting after that. It should boot up fine and should not give problems and errors.

I already tried it, but the problem remains
I add, the phone is in operation because of that, just annoying...i would love to be returned to the froyo or somehow solved the problem

Actually your error only looks like a launcher error. Just install some different launcher from the market like ADW or LauncherPro or Go Launcher and this will suppress the blur launcher and you should be okay.
Or you can try custom ROMs for GB kernel. There is a CM7 for GB in Dev section. You need to be rooted for that.

Adw launcher installed, I'm going to test to see how it works
After the test:
Same thing with adw launcher. Some of the widgets in the opening, causing an error ..
The application home(process com.motorola.home) has stopped unexpectedely.Please try again....

That's weird. May be you can paste a log cat. You can get an idea as to what is going wrong. Or some one who understands that can guide you.
can't you just try CM7 from dev section.
Edit: May be it's the whole blur set up that's giving problems. You can do a data-wipe and try re-flashing the sbf using RSDLite.

I thought to avoid Cm7 ... but if this is a solution ...
I wonder if, after a possible return to the original fw for my phone?
Here are some log

I think you should try to reflash the original 2.3.4 sbf with rsdlite and after that wipe everything from the recovery (data, cache, dalvik, batterystat...).
If it still doesn't work, try to flash another country's sbf (I'd go with one that has the same baseband settings as yours) and wipe everything too.
I know my solution may sound like killing an ant with an atomic bomb, but if a process like home crashes, it's a software problem. And there's no better way to solve a software problem than nuking the whole software on your phone and reinstall it from scratch

I'll try something like,
only to study exactly how it works .. I read the forum and ask for information

Hi,
Could it be a widget that cause force close on your launchers ?
Or a resident app, like antivirus, overclocking...
Seems strange, because I'm on official 2.3.4 without issues...

I use a standard widget, just as it was when the phone was bought nothing more is added.
Do not find a forum on how to reflesh with factory firmwer 2.3.4.
I think this is my phone MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_USAMILESTONE2B1B8RTIT014.0R_USXMILE2GBRTIT_P011_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz for Italy Retail MILS2_U6_4.1-22
just yet to find out how to do ..

I bought the same phone on december in italy and I have the same problems and more: my phone reboot randomly without any reasons and sometime other app crash with the same error message.
I update the phone on 2.3.4 without change....
I did factory reset in the menù option without change....
press power button + x button on boot freeze the phone on android image screen.
I used phone without widget for some day but continue to crash and reboot.
I hope to find a solution with your help!
p.s. sorry for my bad english ;-)

I forgot to write it and for me the same thing with the power + x .. only freeze
The only way to reset my phone
from setings / privacy / factory data reset

If you see the exclamation sign screen after Power + X button, it is not freeze. On that screen you have to press both the volume keys together i.e. 'vol up + vol down'. (If that does not work try '@' key from keyboard).
Now you should have a menu with options to wipe data etc.

Finally I came to it, while pressing
vol up + vol down
thank you
When I contacted Motorola for help about my problem they sent me this guide:
1- Insert battery and power on phone while pressing "X" key on qwerty keypad - release "X" key after you see MOT batwings.
2- You should now see an ! in a triangle with Android guy. Press the "@" key on qwerty keypad to enter factory menu.
3- Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" and then use Camera side key to select "wipe data/factory reset"
4- Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "Yes - delete all user data" and then use Camera key to select "Yes - delete all user data"
5- Wait for operation to complete (maybe 1 minute or so) and then press camera key to select "reboot system now"
According to this instruction is not done nothing
This is how I did
1- Insert battery and power on phone while pressing "X" key on qwerty keypad - release "X" key after you see MOT batwings.
2- You should now see an ! in a triangle with Android guy. Press the "vol up + vol down" to enter factory menu.
3- Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" and then use "enter" key on qwerty keypad to select "wipe data/factory reset"
4- Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "Yes - delete all user data" and then use "enter" key on qwerty keypad to select "Yes - delete all user data"
5- Wait for operation to complete (maybe 1 minute or so) and then press "enter" key on qwerty keypad to select "reboot system now"
camera and "@" key - in my case does nothing
We'll see if the problem will be solved when you do the wipe data..

'@' was valid till Froyo build. For Gingerbread 'vol up + vol down' works.

Thanks sahilarora911, I press vol up + vol down and I do factory reset and format cache... the system is more stable but the login with xda app cause first system crash :-( I hope this is an isolated event.....

Hello there!
As you mentioned that you are not able to see other Recovery options like "Install from zip" etc. This is because you must be booting your phone into the Stock Recovery. For those extra options to come up we need to boot the phone into the Custom Recovery.
To boot into Custom Recovery:
1. Press power on button;
2. Notice when the LED light blinks "BLUE" color; press both the volume keys this time;
3. Now it should show you Custom Recovery options this time;
4. Select "Install from Zip" and flash the ROM you were trying to flash (Also refer to the ROM info if that has some special installation steps).
If the above steps does not resolves the issue then you can always flash you phone with the Stock ROM found in the following article named as SBF:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
[Note: Above mentioned article has all the information that a defy user needs. Thanks "Zephyrot" for that wonderful article.]
Hope that helps!
Good Luck!!

there is no blue led, when press power button it stuck on red moto logo..
and when press both vol down and power it goes into recovery with limited options.
can it is possible i put rom into sd card and rename it with Update.zip and then in recovery use it with update zip..
or any other solution
Thanks

I'm disappointed to know that you are still facing the same issue. Also, renaming the file to update.zip will not let you flash it.
As suggested above first recharge your battery for a while and then flash with appropriate SBF of your region using RSD Lite. Refer to the above given link it has all the information. Also, note that if you flash with any particular android version SBF (which is not a fixed SBF) then you will not be able to downgrade (above article has all info).
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

Okay, thanks for all.. this is the T Mobile Uk version and i got it with eclair rom, and than updated with orignal T mobile froyo.
Now i should start from froyo or eclair?

You may use any ROM either Froyo or Eclair. Please also check the downgradilbility of the ROM. As in many of the cases if the ROM is not fixed then switching back to the earlier versions is impossible without having the Nandroid backup. I suggest you to use the version which is officially released in your region.

What if I have balck screen in recovery mode as well?
Do you have any idea how to solve the same problem if the recovery mode does not start neither? Only RSDLite sees that the phone is connected. I can refresh the ROM but I did not find the right .sbf file yet. Do you know maybe which one would bring back the phone from death?
Thank you in advance!!

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me, my defy doesn’t react for any key combination. RSD Lite still discovers it I can flash any sbf’s. But I’m still getting black screen. The problem is that I don’t know which sbf I should use… Please help. I know I can’t brick defy but if I don’t know how to get back I’m almost there… 

It seems an issue with the Kernel. May be you are flashing the Green lense Defy (MB525) with GB kernel (i.e. MB526 sbf).
Also check the Bootloader version and which Android version you were using.
Here is a list of all the SBF's for both versions:

Hope this helps.
PS:- I don't use Defy for a year now as I own a Nexus 4.

Cache Clear Through Recovery

Does anyone else's Turbo take a relatively long time to clear the cache in recovery? I've done it a few times now and each time it has taken close to 10 minutes. Other phones I've tried usually finish the clear in a minute or so? Is anyone else seeing the same thing?

Mine always takes several minutes. I've never actually timed it, but I would guess 5 or 6 minutes?

Mine takes about 20min every time.

IMO I think that a DT thing across the board, at least with the XT1254. I have 7 other friends with the DT and they all experience the same thing( and so do I )

It is a painfully slow process on the DT.

My maxx even in cm recovery takes 10 minutes to clear

Me too I think it's related to the recovery both are unfinished versions of recovery

How is anyone clearing the cache? Going by the steps online, I can't even get to a point to clear the cache. When it says click up to select, it just goes up to the option above. Hitting power just boots the phone. Can i have TWRP yet? - XT1254

When you boot into recovery press and hold the volume up button and tap the power button once to activate the recovery command list

same here on maxx 7/ 10 min

Same here. Not really an issue tho

What it takes to clear the cache and the cell is in operation ... the difference is that everything is done from the recovery while the other cell .. makes the second stage when turn on the phone ... still need to wait a while.
sorry for English

has anyone tried to clear cache after using the mofo root tool? I tried to get into the recovery so I could clear cache, but am unable to do so...When I select recovery I just get the green android icon with the red icon on top. Any advice?

see post #9 in this thread,
Hold the volume up button and tap the power button once when you are in recovery

Yes it takes long to erase cache. I do it one a week.

I'm having the same issue. I follow the instructions to get to recovery to a "T" and still get the little "dead" Andy with the red exclamation warning triangle.
This is, of course, after rooting with mofo root.
EDIT: This is what worked for me - power off phone > hold volume down and power until fastboot loads > use volume up/down to scroll to Recovery > press power to select > once dead andy screen appears, hold volume up and tap (do not hold) power > recovery should load.
