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.

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.

Hi,
Was given a Defy by a mate who thinks he has bricked it and replaced it already. I’m hoping I can get it working again. Hopefully with your help this might be possible.
These are the facts:
1> Current phone state: Motorola logo on screen and nothing else happens. I’m able to get into the bootloader(Power + Volume Up), but not able to get into recovery(Power + Volume Down)
2> Previous firmware version is unknown. All I know is the phone was bought through T-mobile UK.
3> My mate has tried to install various .sbf files(3.4.2-177 nordic Blurless Thread & 3.4.3-11 UK Tmobile Blur Thread & 3.4.3-3 UK Tmobile Blur Thread & 2.51.1 UK - Blur ROM Thread) onto the phone and still the phone stays in the same state.
So I don’t know where to start or what to try really, as I assumed all I would need to do is install a previous .sbf. I read it could have to do with the battery being empty, but I have a external charger and know the battery is full.
Any advice would be great, please help. I have also read other threads, but they do not have the same issues and are able to get there phones working past the point i'm at.
Thanks
same thing happened to my defy today, when I decided to try out CM7 while on a 3.4.2.117-005 nordic. Basically it's F'd up!
When I tried installing CM7 beta 6 zip from recovery, it got installed, but the phone was too damn slow to be used, So I flashed 177-005's sbf again and after completion it got stuck in boot at the Android Text.
Then i flashed with a 3.4.3.11_BLUR_signed sbf and still it's stuck at the Moto Logo.
please help someone, its my new phone..

Yea, I have tried it every configuration possible and no Android Robot appears… I have even asked my mate and partner to do it to make sure it is just not me…
Could this be the first official “Bricked” Defy? I hope not, was worth a try and assume this is why my mate wanted to get rid of it….
Thanks again for all the advice.

@jdearauj just a curiosity, what operative system you use on your computer?
i asked you, because if you have win vista, rsd-lite not worked always very well with this OS....if you have xp or seven its good!
endless bootloop M logo
ok maybe this will help...
quickly remove battery before it gets drained...
now do this,i call it the "monkey method"
>on my left hand i hold my defy without the battery in,
>press the volume up+power at the same time...
now i quickly slip the battery in w/ my right hand & stay a few seconds..it took me to the stock recovery-factory reset & it took me to stock SBF rom & ready to reflash cm7 again.
follow this,its all in here...

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.
Hello!
I bricked my Defy+... I downgrated from 2.3.5 to 2.3.4 and now it can't turn on.
If I understand I need update with RDS to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6... Where can I download this SBF file or what need I do with my phone?
It is very important... please quickly... thx
Have a look in the sbfs thread, and also the wiki page for defy (propably a sticky thread or one of the first)

sorry, but I don't find it... can you link the good file please?
everywhere is only defy (i need defy+) and 2.3.5 less firmware...
this is a defy+ firmware original sbf in first post

I haven't got recovery
have you any idea what need I do ?
please help
that is a NANDROID backup... not SBF
there is currently no sbf available that is greater than 2.3.4
you must wait for one to leak/release
thanks...
about when will it appear ? (days/weeks/months?)
flash defy+ sbf and make FULL reset whit recovery(power + volume down when phone power off)
Sorry for my bad english.
I haven't got recovery... :/
I've been in a similar situation with my defy (red lens) and here is how I solved it:
mrolp said:
I passed a couple of hours in this terrible situation and found this topic (caused by a failed downgrade from gingerbread to froyo).
Now I flashed back full gingerbread sbf, power button is working again and battery can charge.
EDIT:
Here is how to solve possible boot loop after bringing it back to life:
- Power DEFY™ off.
- Wait 15 seconds.
- Press and hold POWER/LOCK key and VOLUME DOWN key.
- Continue to press and hold POWER/LOCK and VOLUME DOWN until a screen appears with a "!" inside a triangle and a small Android standing in front of it on a black background.
- Once the "!"-Triangle screen appears, press both VOLUME DOWN and UP keys at the same time. This can be achieved by pressing the center of the VOLUME rocker.
- Once the recovery menu appears (text is blue) use the VOLUME DOWN key to navigate to "wipe data/factory reset".
- Select "wipe data/factory reset" with POWER/LOCK key.
- Navigate with VOLUME DOWN key to "Yes -- delete all user data"
- During this process you will notice the phone format the system memory and cache. This is normal.
- After the factory reset has completed, select "reboot system now" with the POWER/LOCK key.
- Please allow 3-10 minutes for system to recover. A long pause on the stylised "M" logo or the carrier animation is normal. DO NOT power the phone off during this period.
- (MOTOBLUR™ devices only) Once the DEFY™ has booted, you will be greeted with the MOTOBLUR™ login page.

EDIT: For Defy+ things may be harder
No telling when or IF a sbf greater than 2.3.4 will surface!
Did you try flashing ALL 2.3.4 sbf's?
Just to be straight, you DO NOT have STOCK recovery correct? You only get black screen while trying to boot stock recovery (vol down + power)
If this is all true than it appears that newly shipped defy+ with 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 must contain CG ver=6 making it impossible to downgrade by flashing ANY sbf currently available since 2.3.4 sbf's contain CG ver=5
What a crappy situation!

Motorola Defy + bricked
Hi!
after flashing my Defy+, RSD Lite told me that it passed but the phone is completely dead. It doesn't start, it doesn't charge is just the black screen.
It doesn't go in boot mode and the power button it doesn't do anything. The battery has 4.12V on it so is not drained.
any ideas?
I have a problem with my Motorola defy(non+). After i installed by mistake Android 4.4 with kernel 3.0 by Quarx, my defy wouldn't boot into the OS.
Tried to install another ROM but it ran into a problem and failed. Tried to install after that a new SBF because i don't know why the recovery menu was not there anymore.
Suddenly, after it finished, i noticed the phone won't power up anymore. It happened to me 2 times in the past and just adjusting the charger end into the phone carefully worked and i could power on the phone and install a different sbf and solve the problem but now it's different.
The phone won't power up with that method again.
When i connected the phone into the laptop the white led appeared, but without powering it on, RDS lite identified the device.
I installed a froyo 2.2.2 CEE sbf succesfully(it said) but it doesn't power up and now RDS lite doesn't recognise it either.(LED still works though)
What can i do?

Try wiping data and cache in the stock recovery. To get into the stock recovery, power off the phone, hold in the volume- button then also press and hold the power button. After a few seconds you should see a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, and a little green android guy below that. Then press the volume+ and volume- buttons at the same time, and a menu should appear. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu, and the power button to select an option. Select "wipe data/factory reset" and also "wipe cache partition". Then try to reboot the phone.
If the phone still won't boot, go into bootloader before connecting to RSD lite. To go into bootloader, power off your phone, then hold in the volume+ button and the power button at the same time. After about 5 seconds, release the buttons. The bootloader should display – it will show the version and a battery check. (If that doesn’t work, pull the battery, then put it back in while holding the volume+ and power buttons.) Then connect USB cable and use RSD Lite to flash sbf again.
Hi. So i kinda repaired my defy but it still has a problem. It does not want to charge without using MCGyver method. Everything else works fine, except the phone does not detect my battery so instead it shows a question mark. BTW i deleted by mistake the sbf but i know it was chinese. Only that sbf worked. Could you find me a good working sbf?
