I downloaded all the proper SBF files (VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf) and RSD Lite the drivers updated and when I go to bootloader and hook up my USB it does not show the "connected" status in RSD lite. Tried to reinstall and everything. Any thoughts or tips? I would like to get the latest update. I was rooted with Z4, but I unrooted and tried to attempt this. Please help.
Thanks.
Did you change the settings to media connection and enable usb debugging?
Yes usher debugging on and I tried all of the selections.
I would highly recommend using linux to sbf as you don't have to worry about getting the correct drivers. Instructions are at rootzwiki.com. I just did this 2 days ago to get the OTA and it was very painless.

I ran into the same issue, but realized that people were using mixed terminology for two different things. Make sure that you're powering on the phone by pressing Power, Volume Down, and Camera buttons at the same time, and then wait a second or two, and release them. Then you should have some white, DOS like text show up on the screen. If you're doing the Power + Home button and pressing search button to bring up a blue text screen, that's not the right procedure for SBF. Hopefully that's all it is.
Are you using RSD Lite 4.8 or above? Try rebooting your phone and your PC. If that doesn't work, try another USB port and/or cable.

Download RSDlite 4.8
Download the latest SBF
Switch your device to PC mode
Turn on debugging mode (settings>applications>development>debugging mode)
Launch RSDLite (make sure device appears in window)
Select SBF (make sure it's the .sbf and not the .zip you downloaded)
Click Start
Device will switch to bootloader and begin the flashing process and will reboot when it is complete. RSDlite will say PASS.
One thing that most people forget to include in posting sbf/rdslite instructions is that you NEED the Droid X USB drivers installed. Get it from Motorola here and your phone will then show up in RDSLite.

Yep this is exactly what I did. RSDlite does not recognize my phone. I am using Rsdlite 4.8 also.
Just tried another different computer and its working. Very odd. Well anyway I hope to report back that everything went good. I will let you know.
Make sure you have the Moto drivers installed.
All is good. Got it to work and it worked flawlessly.
Okay im running windows xp, and i have all those drivers installed...
http://www.userdrivers.com/PDA-Mobil...dows-XP-Vista/
and http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
so what am i missing to get my vibrant to be recognised by odin in download mode????
What are you running currently?
simply honey 3.6..... gingerbread
By chance did you forget to enable usb debugging?
idk, i flashed from a 2.2.1 rom to simply honey 3.6 through rom manager, but i did have it enabled through before i flashed for sure.... And usb debugging is not required for download mode as (i think) thats a whole different thing???
It needs to be enabled to use Odin. Also, sometimes for Odin to see my phone I have to unplug my phone and open Odin a few times before I finally get Odin to see my phone. It's very finicky for me, always has been

Go into windows device manager. Make sure that your computer is even seeing the device and that it has recognized the drivers for it. If it recognizes it, try rebooting computer then restart the process. Also make sure your phone is actually in DOWNLOAD mode. Not Recovery mode.
If you do not know the difference between the two, let us now and we'll assist further.
Happy hacking!
I use to always have trouble with Odin..then one day someone mentioned they always right clicked on Odin and chose "run as Administrator", I have never done that because I figured I was the administrator....but once I did it, never had a problem since.
Another problem I run into (well not anymore) is the USB port I plugged into. If I was on a hub or something it wouldn't work. If I plug right into my computer it works properly.
I also use adb commands to get into download and recovery when I'm Odin'ing. It also let's me know if my phone is detected by the OS.
#adb devices (should show your phone listed)
#adb reboot download (reboots your phone into download mode)
#adb reboot recovery (reboots your phone into recovery mode)
You'll need the SDK installed for adb to work.
Since I started doing these things, I have had ZERO problems with Odin and flashing my phone.
ay.. usb debuging was enabled before i flashed... now if my turn turns on it goee onto a bootloop... so everytime i cinnect my phone to the computer it says device not recognised. ohh and one thing to mention is that my computer doesnt have a highspeed usb port
Three button to download mode - power+vol up+vol down and see if you can get it into download mode then plug in usb (1.0 should work), then run odin...
otherwise i think you're looking at trying to make one of those jigs or replacing your phone...
try
1. Start Odin
2. Plug USB cable into pc
3. Power off the Phone.
3. Pull the Battery.
5. Plug USB cable into Phone.
6. Press and Hold: Volume UP + Volume DOWN + Power, all at the same time.
7. Re-insert the battery.
8. The phone will power now, when the screen starts a cycle of going to a BLACK screen, release ONLY the POWER button.
9. When you see the download icon release the volume buttons,
10. Odin back to stock by putting the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
Afaik the three button combo is for
Recovery mode. Follow the above directions up to the power button part. While holding both volume buttons, it should go directly into download mode when the usb us plugged in
Try removing all drivers then reinstall if xp doesn't pick it up
Beware of angry gingerbread man
power off phone
pull out battery
turn on odin
attach phone to pc with usb cable
now while holding down both volume buttons put battery back in.
now you should be in download mode and go back to stock with odin from here!
Enjoy and also make sure u have the proper samsung drivers
Install samsung kies mini. It gives you the correct drivers. I once installed those and it messed it up. So install kies mini.

i CAN't connect it with my pc and rsd lite can't detect my phone when i plugged it in!
also, i can't charge it via PC nor the power supply(i have tried using moto's one and a unofficial power supply)

Have you tried the boot loader mode (forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy):
---------------------------------
How to get rsdlite to recognise a phone that won't boot
You flashed, something happened, now screen is black, phone doesn't react, u are in a boot loop, rsdlite cant recognize the phone. you're right here.
To get RSDLIte to recognize your phone you have to enter boot loader mode. this means press VOL-UP + POWER If nothing helps, try pushing VOL UP before!' you put the battery in (RSDLIte should be running and awaiting a new connection at that time) If you are using Windows 7, try seting RSDLite to "compatibility mode: Windows XP SP3".
i have tested the connection in bootmenu and RSDLITE not able to recognize my phone
any ideas?
Hello
Please somebody help me. My notebook doesn't recognise my DEFY via USB. More details: When I got the phone it worked but after a while not always. Sometimes it connected 5 minutes later but nowadays doesn't work at all. By the power charger it's charging normally.
When it's plugged to the computer, the phone's screen lights up, but doesn't connect or charge. If I tick on/off meanwhile the USB debug, the USB sign shows up but it's still not charging or connecting. (I've already tried all 4 options)
Moreover when I remove the USB cable, the USB signal doesn't disappear until I restart the phone or abort the USB in the application manager.
I've already tried to install or uninstall the driver (Moto Helper) but didn't help.
The main problem is that if I connect the phone to the notebook, the device manager doesn't see it. (I tried different computers, Win XP and Win 7)
I did a factory reset several times but nothing happened.
I think there was an automatic software update and maybe the problem started at this time.
This is my first Android phone and I'm not an expert so I really need your help.
I wanted to install a new ROM but the RSD lite doesn't see the phone neither in Bootloader mode. It says: "Connect USB Data Cable" and when I connect it says: "USB" so recognises something.
I'm trying to fix it for weeks but I can't find to solution.
System version: 34.177.3.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Build no: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-3
Win7 x64
Sorry about my English and thank you for your help.
I didn't mean bootmenu tommy, BOOTLOADER MODDE: press VOL-UP + POWER, try pushing VOL UP before! to get RSDLIte to recognize your phone(RSDLIte should be running and awaiting a new connection at that time)
---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 PM ----------
Hey poross, I guess that your problem seems like a virus activity or maybe a faulty USB cable. Try another USB cable and another PC (with a good antivirus running, indeed!). Before connecting to the new PC, reset your defy...
I just hope it helps. If not, maybe your defy has a hardware problem...
If you are using windows 7 make sure that you installed good drivers for system x86/x64. I'm using RSD on Windows 7 X64 and I have no problems with it. Check in device manager for some unknown devices after plug phone to USB. If system wont see any new device after plugging it wont be driver problem but something wrong with phone, usb cable or usb port. Even if driver fails system should see the phone like unknown device or something.

actually,i am in bootloader(versoin 9.10) and rsdlite still not able to detect my phone =..=
but i notice that when i plugged it in,the phone showed "transfer mode USB"
but nothing happened in rsdlite,no info of device properties.....
what the hell.....
To tommy:
Let's make a conclusion:
1-You have the correct drivers but RSDLite doesn't recognize your phone even in the bootloader mode
2-The charger can't charge your battery
3-The portable battery CAN charge it! (So the phone connector has no problem)
So: It is most likely that you've got a faulty usb cable
Thanks for dealing with my problem
Chamelleon: The device manager doesn't see anything while the cable is plugged but the phone detects something -probably the USB power- but doesn't connect at all. It happpens in the bootloader mode as well so detects the USB cable but it seems that the phone doesn't send sign to the computer. I haven't had any problem with USB detection, connection (except this phone) for a long time.
MMarv: You mean there's a virus on the phone? if it's the situation, installing a virusbuster to the phone could solve it? Which one is a good prog?
I tried with 3 different cables and still not working. With the wall plug charger and the car's USB socket are ok but none of them charges from the notebook.

I mean Virus on your laptop. Hard reset your phone and try another PC with a good anti-virus installed!
So if cable is ok, usb port in pc and phone is ok it must be driver problem. Delete all what appears as Motorola driver including drivers from system32 and then install it again. You can also try to install it on different PC with 32 bit system. Do not install any unknown drivers, just install Motorola Media Link or Motorola Software Update cause if you have this one and some different it can be problem. Or you just have something wrong with system. First try on different pc with drivers from MML or MSU.
Succeeded.
The solution was incredibly simple. It was strange when I did a factory reset (4 times) and rebooted the phone it restored my acccounts, shortcuts, settings. I ticked off two things: settings/Privacy/Back up my data and Automatic restore. Then took out battery then I put it back and began the reset. After it the phone forgot really everything of my details and now the USB is working perfectly.

not working for me =..=
however,i have 2ndinit installed
and after factory reset,the phone is still rooted and 2ndinit still here
so will it cause any problem?
Hey Tommy,
I nearly bricked my defy, and the battery was low too. RSDite not able to recognize it. It seemed that charger can't charge the battery either. But I was wrong. The charger was actually charging the battery. I removed the back cover with the charger connected and the battery in place. I tested the two outer connectors of the battery with a voltmeter (when the battery is in place, they are slightly exposed). Initially the voltage was about 3 volts and steadily increased... Test it if you can. If it is not charging, I bet that it is a phone connector problem. You should return it and I think they can repair it easily...
Hi Tommy1994
First I'm not an expert, this is my first android phone.
My probelm was (I think) an android error. I made factory reset 4 times but it always restored my details. (It's not a perfect FR). After it I did a bit different FR:
-1. in the normal android/ settings menu/Privacy/Back up my data -thick off. So it won't make any backup
-2. swich off the phone
-3. take the battery out for 30sec then put back
-4. press the volume down and hold it while you press the power on button but hold the volume down for more 4 sec. you will see an android robot with an exclamation mark.
-5. press the volume up and down together that's how you enter to the Recovery menu.
-6. first chose the "Wipe cache partition" (you can move with the volume buttons and select with the power button) -wait till "Cache wipe complete"
-7. then chose the "Wipe data/factory reset" - wait till "Data wipe complete"
-8. after these chose the "Reboot system now"
-9. if your phone doesn't want to start just get the battery out for 30sec and take back.
note: you will lose everything of your personal details, installed apps...
note2: it's my FROYO's (android 2.2.2) menu probably yours is different
Sorry for my English, hope you understand though.
hope this helps
If your are trying to connect on windows vista or 7 I think you must be loged on as admin of the computer. I had same problem but when I used windows XP it worked fine this is for rsd lite
going to try ,i really hope it will help
thx
i have flashed cm7 and still not able to connect it to PC
i am quite sure it is not software problem, maybe it is about the USB cable?
is that possible the USB cable can charge but not able to transfer data?
hi tommy1994 ,
i'm having the same problem as you, when i'm in the bootloader screen the rds lite program don't find my defy...
have you found any solution?
Thank you very much
I just flashed cm7 port by tezet to my MS2 which had the german Vodafone firmware.
Then it failed to reboot, I tried again and again with volup and voldown.
Then I put it into bootloader mode with keyboard x and power on.
Installed the Moto Drivers MotoHelper_2.1.40_Driver_5.5.0 and RSD Lite RSDLite5.4.4 on my Windows vm,
connected the ms2 to it and let it flash the wrong sbf, i clicked the froyo one and didnt notice until after. It said done.
Now it does absolutely nothing (no screen on, no rsdlite connection) except when plugged in on usb, but even then, just the white led at the usb port is on. Nothing else.
May this be a hard brick?

Have you tried flashing the right firmware through RSD Lite?
Can you get into bootloader mode?

I solved it.
The battery somehow failed to be recognized, but was definitely full.
I switched it with the battery of another MS2 and back.
Then I could get bootloader again.
Hi
I was gonna sell my old milestone2, so i decided to install the old Firmware (it was on CM) via rsd lite...
I pluged the phone in Bootloader mode and flashed it...
after flash i unpluged and it was... dead...
it wont turn on... and when i plug it to charge no led goes on.. even the one next to micro usb port...
can i still recover it?
thanks.
Do a full wipe in stock recovery.
Should fix your problem.
1. After you plug in USB cable, does PC recognize OMAP Flash device? In some cases screen stays black, but PC recognizes the phone, and you'll be able to flash sbf again. Remember not to flash an older bootloader ROM - it won't go (if you have an European 2.3.4 GB, you won't boot Froyo after flash, if you have Latin America 2.3.6 GB, you won't boot European GB nor Froyo).
2. Is your battery charged? If it's completely dried, you'll have to charge it before flash, either with an external charger, or with live +5V and GND wires from cut off USB cable (as someone described earlier).
