hi there...
just installed CM7 this weekend. worked fine for 2 days
After restarting the ms2, it got stuck in a bootloop.
I can flash a sbf with rsd lite from, finishes OK, but when it says, rebooting, well...
it still stuck in a bootloop.
In recovery mode, i can do a cache wipe and factory reset. But there is a error message at the bottom, telling:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/caller
Could I successfully flash with RSDlite from Linux? which version?
Is there a way to restore the ms2 from dev console?
Thanks a lot
Do you test to Wipe Data with stock moto recovery ?
Here step 7 to 11
I think your request must be on "General" section
I suspected it might be related the CyanogenMod intstall. But move to "general" if necessary
Have done steps 7 - 11
but still ms2 bootloops
OMG - if broke it - my wife kills me
I hope your wife don't kill you LOL
See this thread and particulary this with r2beta0 tips:

I have do this (all step 1 to 11 because "boot up the phone manually" ) with the sbf 2.2.2 officiel but modify whith this post :
r2beta0 said:
I don't know if this is going to help, but you could try that anyway:
- Download MotoAndroidDepacker (utility to unpack/repack SBF's)
- Choose one stock SBF (2.2 FR for example)
- Open and unpack it with the utility
- Rename CG66.smg to CG37.smg (you are going to use preinstall image as data image, both are ext3, but has different sizes. Don't know if it's going to work).
- Use utility to open folder with unpacked images and repack it
- Put phone in bootloader mode and flash the repacked SBF (rebuilt/firmware.sbf)

I did exactly the same, as in the other thread.
And thank god, my ms2 booted up
So everything seems fine for now und no one should get killed
Many Thanks!
Nice for you
Moved to proper forum.
Hi all, Emiliano from Italy. I firstly wanted to thank you all for your support.
Even being my first post here, I've been following you since some time.
My problem looks exactly the same: bootloop... bootloop... bootloop.
No matter how many I tried flashing back the original ROM for my M2 (SBF file always worked before!!! so I'm sure is the correct one for my smartphone).
I tried also the procedure with depacking described above with no progresses.
Anyway I already had noticed that after renaming cg66 to cg37, depacker wasn't able to see it in the list of cgs before repacking, so that final fbs was 300MB less.
Something wrong I made? (tried on 2 pcs with Vista Home and Business)
Unluckily I cannot even try to wipe data because I cannot enter in recovery mode (On + X -> Android robot with mark -> but nothing happens after pressing magnifying lens or any other key).
Could someone, please, help me before using my bricked M2 for building a new house?

Hi Amir4Life,
thanks for reply and for your suggestion.
Unluckily I cannot access recovery mode.
All I get when pressing X is the green robot with Exclamation mark, but no matter which key I press after, it gets stuck at that point (so that I'm bound to take away battery to turn smartphone off) and cannot access or see any menu to operate wipe.
Tried also reflashing other roms through rds lite (bootloader works efficiently) or through ubuntu live cd "sbf_flash system", but the only fsb that always worked for me turns out to be a bootloop when rebooting.
Unluckily nothing seems to help me in this situation, so far.
It's still a bootlpop and no access to recovery mode.
Thanks anyway for your help and happy and special new year to you all!
At the 'exclamation sign + green android guy' screen, you have to press 'vol up + vol down' together.
Now you will get the options like 'wipe data' etc. etc. Scroll through options using vol up or vol down and select using power button.

Thanks Sahilarora,
If I had read you before I would have saved a lot of time trying all possibile combinations of keys on the keboards (since magnifying glasses didn't work)!!
Then just by chance I discovered myself volume up + down while pressing chaotically all buttons and it worked to my best suprise, showing me finally the belated list of options, together with blessed wipe data factory
Since yesterday evening my Milestone 2 is wonderfully working again, as fresh as a daisy!
Thank you so much for your contribution, hoping it could help also Amir4Life and oll pthers in a similar situation.
Happy new year (started in the best way).
Glad for you, I was about to tell to do what sahilarora911 told ya,
I expect i m the only one who stays with brick'd phone... my luck.

Could explain in details which is your problem, and which methods have you already tried to solve it?
If not me, maybe someone else could help you.
Hi Emiliano! It seems to be that we share the same problem. Did you found a fix to it? Thanks!

You can load the default recovery by holding down VOL - and POWER, select RECOVERY, then press AND HOLD, VOL + and POWER to load update.zip which *should* load ClockWorkMod.
Try wiping cache and do another factory reset. First boot may take many many minutes
Edit: Also, no question under development! Mod, please move to general..

If you turn it on while holding "dolume down" do you get the android+! screen? Some go into recovery if you touch the bottom right corner of the screen, but on some you have to hold volume up + down together. I had this problem today!
If you actually can't get to the screen with the android+! then I don't know what else you could do :-(

I really can not, no way to go to the screen with the robot android! he goes right on the logo motorola M!
can it be hardware problem?
1) Did you use the correct flasher? rsd4.9 with motorola driver installed properly.
2) If (1) not working, you could use motorola own service update from their site.

but no results!
don't worry about it, dude.
maybe you can try the way followed:
1.power off your defy;
2.remove the battery from the phone;
3.plug the usb cable into the phone without battery;
4.open RSD and chose one of the roms your listed, but 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC prefered,
5.take the battery into your phone, now your can see the "connected" on RSD;
6.click the "start" button to flash;
7.wait the phone reboot completely, usually it'll reboot.
if not reboot, remove and on your battery, power on your phone, then press the "volume - and power" botton together, you can enter the robot screen, press volume up and down botton together, usually you can enter the recovery, then chose wipe 3 and 4, totally you can save your defy~~
Be sure to have enough battery while flashing..
Get the phone into bootloader (hold volume down when switch on) and flash an SBF like one from the list you've attached using RSD lite. Surely you have used RSD Lite before?
It seems you have the same issue I have on my Defy as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095444
I’m also unable to get into recovery or get to the Android Robot screen using “Power + Volume Down”. Hopefully we will be able to figure it out and get this issue fixed.

This same friend, I have the same problem, is this a hardware problem? I move the roms but not normal
Vol I login recovery - + Power key
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Try flashing nordic, if fails arabic, if fails, 2.3.3, if fails probably corrupt nand broken hardware.
Before and after every flash always try to access recovery (volume down) and WIPE. reboot and wait crossing fingers, if it fails to boot flash next sbf, try to go recovery + wipe; reboot, cross more fingers; if fails to boot try next sbf and repeat.
The reason for this is that you can flash a lower version but it wont boot, so you have to flash a higher and higher version until you get one that works.
I tried to help someone with this problem before to no avail!
Everyone who is saying just wipe in recovery, or just flash with RSD blah blah blah, need to understand that he CAN NOT access recovery and HE HAS flashed multiple roms using RSD 4.9, read the OP. Im convinced this is physical hardware failure or similar. We all know the drill to recover our precious defy's in the event of semi-brick ie: bootloop or corrupt code. However this is more than a semi-brick. We are talking about successful flashing and still no access to recovery and infinite M logo!
I walked more than one person with this problem through every known procedure to bring these phones back. Even using sbf_flash for linux doesn't work as this is the only way I flash anymore I don't bother with RSD anymore. The thing is it DOES FLASH SUCCESSFULLY just no recovery or boot!

OMG Exactly!!!! i have same problem and nobody seems to be able to tell me what to do, they keep saying same thing about trying various SBF's and Vol down + power method. No matter what SBF file I successfully flash with, i cannot get into boot recovery mode.
I have heard before from desperate users that they were able to revive their phone by flashing a full 2.3.4 sbf. This however comes with downsides of not being able to downgrade to froyo by flashing ANY froyo sbf's. There is a way to downgrade back to froyo but its a dirty method. Even after downgrade you can't just flash a sbf, you will always need to restore nandroid and flash fixed sbf

You post is too large(in terms of fonts) to read...it hurt my eyes!!
anyways, about the issue, I guess your phone's battery in not charged. Please make sure to charge the battery using the charger and once it done then boot your phone and when you see blue LED blinking press both volume keys together... this will make your phone to boot into boot menu....now do a data/cache wipe and reboot....
However, if this does not helps then you will be required to flash with the SBF. refer to Defy Developement section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537.
Hope this helps!!

I'm sure you are are able to boot into the boot loader.
Follow below mentioned steps:
To Flash full SBFs, here is the standard procedure:
1. Open RSD Lite: Click on [ … ] Button and select your .SBF (Remember to rename to a short name and put it on root of your PC) and click Open.
2. Boot your phone into Bootloader Mode (check last section if you don’t know how to do it).
3. Now connect your Defy to your PC
4. The START button on RSD Lite should be available now, click and wait.

Fore more info refer to the below mentioned link:

Use any Froyo SBF or Fixed SBF.

Same issue, can't use RSD if you can't first get to the bootloader. Read a thread about using a stripped USB cable to hotwire the battery to get power to flash with RSD, but can't figure out how to link in mobile app.

Press both volume buttons on the screen with the android and exclamation mark. That'll take you to stock recovery where you need to wipe data and factory reset.
If you have to flash the sbf again, try using sbf_flash on Linux. It'll flash in times where RSD won't recognize your phone.
Linux Live\sbf_flash tut
sbf_flash binary is in attachments
Only use Defy 2nd-init for recovery
(and once its installed, steal /system/bootmenu/* and /system/bin/bootmenu from Defy CM9 from June 5th on up -- touch bootmenu is pretty awesome; replacing the bootmenu isn’t for the feint of heart.)
the only problem is i dont have linux i have windows 7
Use rsdlite sri I don't have a link on me

I dual boot between the two
If you have a blank cd and a usb drive\sdcard you can just use a Linux Live environment -- you never install Linux at all -- and you can use sbf_flash from there.
RSD Lite version that works and tutorial
And since it hasn't been mentioned yet, holding volume up + power on boot access the boot recovery to flash sbf's. Just make sure you have at least 50% battery before flashing or you might get an actual brick.
What your dealing with is nothing more than a recovery screw up. I had the same problem last night installing touch recovery -- it wiped /bootmenu/ instead of installing to it. Solution is to flash sbf, reboot, wipe data/factory reset from stock recovery, reboot, eebluroffee at first screen, root, enable non market apps, Defy 2nd init flash something that's better than stock.
ok i install the motorola usb drivers and start up rsd lite but it does not regocogize my phone
yes i have it in bootloader mode
Did you install everything before plugging phone in?
Try uninstalling everything motorola related and reinstalling just the drivers....On a previous Win7 install nothing was recognized, but on a reinstall of the entire system it worked fine and still does. I still recommend the Linux way over RSD because it will flash your phone regardless, provided you can access the loader.
I still haven't gotten native tethering to work with Windows, but then again, I quit trying sometime around December or January.

This is for all those people who are having trouble flashing with RSDlite in Vista & WIndows 7.
If I am right, RSD lite does not seem to recognize the sbf file after you select it and instead the "start" button remains grayed out.
If that's the case, here the solution:
I had a similar problem and sucessfully used the command line parameters for RSDlite to force a flash. I managed to get a signed/unsigned firmware installed.
You need to copy the firmware you want to flash into the RSDlite directory in your program files folder.
Make sure you are in bootloader mode first.
Then, open command prompt and "cd" to the RSDlite directory
eg:
> cd C:\
> cd Program Files
> cd motorola
> cd RSDlite
>
now for the flashing type:
> SDL.exe -f xxxx.sbf -t 2
where xxxx.sbf is the firmware you are flashing to the phone.
flashing will begin shortly afterwards.
It worked for me, but in the end, show FAIL STATUS.

Thank you sooooooooooooooooo much!
After several hours of messing with my brothers Bravo, I finally got it working by following your instructions.
Really: I'm speechlees man.
hard bricked my phone
hello. i'm looking for any help to this issue: i believe i hard bricked my bravo somehow. it was running one of the first MIUI rom for two or more years. but became slow and laggy thru last months. and the other day it just freezed while i was browsing the call log. no reaction to the pover button at all, had to take out the battery. now it gives no reaction to any combination of button presses ( power; vol up + power ; vol down + power), the only signal what see is white LED light when į connect the phone to the PC. When phone is connected to the pc freshly, and when i press Vol down + Power, Windows 7 releases "clink" sound and device manager tries to show that "Motorola USB Device" is connected, but quickly disapears with another Windows sound. RDS lite 5,0 doesnt recognize phone too.
Is there any chance to bring this phone alive? any advise will be appreciated.
p.s. english isn't my native. sorry for the mistakes

Not sure if this will help since I did not watch the video myself, but a quick Google search gave me a video describing how to take a Motorola USB cable and modify it to unbrick a phone. I did not watch the video yet so I don't know how relevant it is to your problem. But just by looking at the video preview it looks like the difficulty level may be pretty high... Here is the link:

Sent from my LG-D415 using XDA Free mobile app
Here are the facts:
1. My defy+ with red lens had this rom :Android 2.3.5 "Gingerbread" DEFY+ 4.5.1-134-DFP-125 - CEE LINK
2. took the stupid decision to flash this A.2.3.6-MIUI-XIUIv4.04-13.06-DEFY+/red-fixed'sbf from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691901
3. the phone did not boot, remained at the black screen with the white writings on it so i decided to flash the image that i had (read point 1)
4. flash went relatively ok but now my phone is stuck at the animated motorola boot logo
5. if i take the battery out and power it on with the volume down i encounter a triangle with a "!" in the middle next to an green android - the 3e menu is missing - can't do a thing
if i power the phone with volume up the bootloader says "Bootloader 09.10, Battery OK, OK to program, Connect USB, Data Cable"
6. tried the following with no luck:
- let it run the animated boot loop for 10-12 minutes - hoping that will come out of it
- flashed it several times
- tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618718 and it's exactly how it;s acting mine and i quote: "If that doesn't happen,it will ask you to reboot manaully and your phone will be stuck in MOTO logo.
- Now remove your USB cable and remove battery. Hold power button and vol + button, you will get that screen.
- Now connect usb, now it result should say pass.
- Press the power button and start the phone. First boot will take some time (Min of 10 minutes or more). "
I am tired, upset and kinda desperate... i thought it will never brick and... surprise
yo did not break your phone... that's almost impossible...
did you tried to flash a defy+ sbf from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php using rsd lite???
try that first and later came back with results
dude, this is the wrong area but as you are desperate.... did you try to find some post
that could help you with your problem?
i'm sure that somebody already have the same problem as you do... so,
try searching for it in the general section
i can't help you with that, i have a green lens defy
best of luck
#edit
try doing what the guy above said
Questions go in the Q&A section
Did you do a full wipe from STOCK recovery prior to flashing your sbf? You MUST do a full wipe before you flash any sbf or you could bootloop. Reading your post it sounds like you can get to stock recovery (volume down +power) once you reach the triangle screen you describe press vol up, and vol down at the same time to get your menu and do a full wipe
Ok, brought it back to life!
First of all i want to thank all of you who wrote me in thread and private.
Second, yeah, i was pretty desperate mostly because i tried so many solutions, read so much and the thought that i was gonna empty the battery without finding a solution was really stressfull.
What did i miss? At step 6 what i should have done is press the volume up AND down at the same time to make the 3e Menu show up then wipe cache and everything and tadaaa... phone started.
Unfortunately it took me almost all night to figure out, read countless threads, googled like crazy till i found someone who posted the right and complete solution
Once again, many, many thanks guys
PS.
# espaciosalter20
i did several times with several images
# zyxwvut
i wanted to do a full wipe but the menu was not there, i thought that powering the phone with volume down pressed was enough to make the menu show up and do the wipe but unfortunately this was not the case... you had to press the volume up and down at the same time to make the 3e menu show up... stupid if u ask me... also not many ppl pointed this out in many tutorials/hints/threads so i had a hard time finding this piece of vital information.

Next time, please, make a full wipe ALWAYS before flashing... Yo can do that even in custom recovery (not need to do in stock all times, just when things go really mess up )
