Current Situation:
When I say bricked, I mean BRICKED in all caps. The phone is completely unresponsive. If I try to turn it on – no good. If I try to put it in bootloader mode – no response. If I hold the volume button down and depress the power – no menu displays. I get no ‘M’. I get nothing. Except…
If I fire up RSD Lite 4.9 and plug in the phone, it does recognize something. Under model it displays “S Flash OMAP3630”. If I load up an sbf file (I’ve been following Higgsy’s incomparable “How To” guide - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674 and using the generic UK sbf file he recommends) and depress “Start” within RSD Lite, the phone will display “SW Update In progress…” in white blocky text. RSD Lite says it’s executing and, after several minutes will display a Status of “Finished” and a Result of “PASS”. On the phone, the screen goes dark but a white notification light displays. While the phone is still plugged in, I can depress the power button on and off and RSD Lite will recognize it’s there (if it’s on) or not recognize the phone is there (if the power is toggled off).
Note that the battery is fully charged.
I’ll give you a little background info:
Background:
I purchased Defy phones for my wife and me for Christmas. Her’s is working fine, is unrooted, and has only a few apps beyond stock (Angry Birds of course!). But of course I had to play with mine. All went well until I (stupidly) installed the latest T-Mobile update which removed my root access. This was not acceptable to me as I had overclocked my phone for performance purposes. I had a really hard time getting root access back until I at last found a version of SuperOneClick that did the trick.
By this time I had reset the phone back to factory settings. So I thought “Well, I might as well flash some cool ROM”, so I flashed a Gingerbread themed Froyo cooked up for the Defy. Unfortunately, it didn’t work (for whatever reason). I was stuck at the dreaded ‘M’.
Next I started following Higgsy’s guide (as mentioned above) but I guess I screwed something up because now the phone is totally unresponsive except as detailed above.
So where do I go from here? Some possibilities:
Flash T-Mobile 2.2 test sbf?
Link?
Flash Original SBF?
Link?
I’ve still got my wife’s phone which is working perfectly fine. Is there a way to copy files from her phone to my dead phone and get some life?
Do you guys have some other steps you’d recommend?
I’d really like to get my phone working again and would much appreciate the help. Many thanks in advance.
(Note that I’m a Noob so please don’t assume I know anything!)
(Yet another note: I'm in the USA.)
Which .sbf's and in which order did you install them?
The same happened to me after I'd flashed the 3.4.2 sbf, then tried to downgrade back to 2.34. it went blank and I had to reflash 3.4.2 again.
If you've flashed 2.51 or 3.42 then you can't downgrade from them. So the fix would be to flash the same rom again.
I have the same problem and this how i fix it

Motorola Defy bricked
hi
i have a question about my defy. The white led is still shining but there is no connection to the pc. I connected via USB-cable.
pls HELP!!!!!
I have a similar issue as the OP..
I originally rooted the phone using simpleoneclick... then I overclocked it using setvsel...
it was running fine for an hour or so, and then I ran quadrant (several times over the course of the hour) and the final time, it rebooted during the middle of a test, and then it would just keep looping the bootup moto logo and "android" screens.
at that point I could still enter the bootloader and recovery screens. I tried wiping data and resetting to factory defaults with no avail.
Finally I followed a thread on flashing a new rom to the phone with RDSLite and the uk rom. After getting it to finish flashing and it showing a 'Finished' and 'PASS' status as the OP mentioned, te phone now no longer responds. Power button does not trigger the screen to go on, regardless of if I try to press the volume buttons with it or not.
The only response I get from it is when it is connected to the computer, the white led turns on, and the computer (and rdslite) recognizes it. I can still flash it with rdslite and the screen turns on displaying the SW update In progress message...
but that's about all I can get it to do.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated
edit: I should also mention that after the uk 2.21 rom I've also tried the china 2.2.1 roms.... Should I also try flashing the 2.51 uk version as well?
Okay, I tried a few more roms and this one "JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_117-00..." has everything back up and running...
however now i'm running into the issue of apps that i've 'downloaded' not actually installing...

Same problem here, but my phone is only detected by a friend's laptop. I think I have to flash Defy+ rom
try to flash sbf use rsd
If your phone is detected by RSD Lite, then you have an easy fix in just flashing a new sbf. If it's not detected and you can't charge your battery, you're going to have to use the MacGyver method.
if sbf doesnt work u better send it to warranty
Well. On my computer the phone isn"t even recognized. Maybe because some RSD Lite files are missing and it need them to detect bricked defy (i did reinstalled RSD Lite)
If it's recognised on your friend's computer but not on yours then it means that you probably have the versions of the motorola drivers or rsd lite that have problems.
white led solution
hope for defy with only white led light turning on. This assumes that you have already have mototola drivers and RSD lite installed.
Background : I only had defy one day when I decided to flash it with miui. I bricked on the first time with bootloops. Did research and got drivers and rsd lite. managed to find three stock t mobile roms and flashed to stock Tom, then flashed miui, since then I've been switching between miui and cm7.
Problem : After a few months of use, I decided to flash stock rom to see how the battery life would be like. Bricked it the first time with bootloops. I thought I had flashed it with wrong rom because the first time I flashed back to original rom I did not delete the roms that I thought were the original roms. So after first failure I tried to flashed with the other roms I had. after the third rom it would not go into bootloader, only white led would turn on. Tried macguiver, did not work so save your usb cable, don't mess with it ain't gonna work.
Two part solution: I realized that when I plugged phone with usb I would hear the usb tone on win 7. When to device manager and saw the other device or something like that was appearing and disappearing when I would connect and disconnect phone. I clicked it and it said Motorola device or something like that, it was sensing my defy! defy drivers were wipe out due to bad flash. I had mototola drivers so I clicked on update and searched for mototola drivers on hard drive. I had rsd lite on and it recognized the defy after driver update, even though the bootloader screen was not on and just the white led was on.
decided to flash rom that have me bootloop and it flashed it but still gave me a bootloop., by the way, the update part of bootloader showed up after a while.
Second part of solution: googled problem and found out that the phone has a stock recovery. its the robot with the triangle exclamation mark. when you get to it you have to touch the extreme lower right hand corner of the screen to get to where you can wipe data and cache. when you start wiping data / cache you have to press on ok?? on lower left hand of the screen repeatedly until wipe is complete. then reboot and tada it boots up to stock tmo USA defy.
this is the stock rom I used : JORDN_U3_6.36.0
F Y I
if you ever try to flash a rom and it just bootloops, just go into stock recovery and wipe data and cache and you should be able to boot into android.
I'm Mc Gayvering my phone. Just tried a led directly connected to USB and fried it
This is my last hope
Is your phone worked?
I have the same problem. I try many ROM,But all of them dosn't work.
When I put in the battery,it shows Bootloader,When i flash a ROM use RSD，the phone always display SW Update In progress... Then the RSD's status is error verifying code group XX(XX=32/33/39/40 etc.) checksums.
What should I do?
THS.

dude this is all same **** u flashed wrong sbf.

flashes here http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
I did a data wipe/factory reset and formatted my sdcard (using clockwork recovery) because I wanted to go back to stock for a while and when i rebooted it just got stuck on the Motorola sign. Now i can't even get to the boot loader to do a restore. Am I screwed? By the way i'm a noob. I was running Liberty 1.5 with sdk 2.2.1
I saw this link when I did a search, will this work with a Droid X? I dunno how similar the D2 is to the Dx. Please help! lol
Don't give up hope, there are a lot of smart people on here. Wish I had the answer for you. I'll be following this.
Ok so I downloaded RSD Lite and the SBF file I needed and the necessary motorola driver for my phone to show up on RSD. I loaded the SBF file but It won't let me click the start button to start flashing it. What's up with that? I pressed the ON/OFF button and the two volume buttons to get to the bootloader and it worked but I don't know what to do after that >< I only have one PHONE! lol
Ok so i plugged in my SD Card and it is completely empty. So does that mean that my phone is completely wiped also since I did a Factory Reset/ Wipe and I did a Data Wipe and User APP wipe thinking i would go back to factory reset. The problem is I don't know how to fix this. I tried looking for a topic that explains it as well as the D2 write up
Are you using rsd lite4.8 , that version worked well for me. Also make sure your phone is selected before you press start.

I tried the SBF flash with RSD lite but when i hit the start button and then it said FAIL. I redownloaded for 4 diff sites same file just in case the file was corrupted or something. Also tried extracting it into my C: drive since someone said thAT worked but didn't for me. Yes I had enough battery, yes i got to the recovery menu holding the HOME key and the power button at the same time and when i selected the factory reset option it says that the directory doesn't exist anymore. I think the message was something like "E: cache/recovery/command does not exist" and then I selected update.zip and said: "E: sdcard/update.zip directory not found or does not exist. cannot find file." Please help, I think I may have just wiped everything COMPLETELY. Including my onboard memory, not just my sdcard.
Also in the Android System Recovery <3e> at the bottom where all the command line is it says: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command and when i select apply sdcard :update.zip. The command line reads "E:failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed, installation aborted. any help would be appreciated, thanks.
You flash the sbf from your computer using rsd lite not clockwork recovery on the phone, you must be in bootloader mode for rsd lite to see your phone, to get to bootloader pull battery replace battery, hold power, volume down, and camera at the same time youll see a small screen flash at this point release the buttons this should get you to bootloader, also make sure the sbf file is not zipped

do a full sbf
Im sorry I did read all your post before posting that, I was just a liitle confused, you made it sound like u were trying to flash sbf through clockwork. And I was begining to think you were confusing the stock recovery with the bootloader (two seperate things) obviously rsd lite wont recognize the phone unless you are in bootloader, u had said you pressed volume and power to get to bootloader if so u would be in clockwork not bootloader, bootloader is power volumedown and camera... Just trying to help

I was in the boot loader when i tried the sbf flash. bottom line, all my files on sdcard and possibly my phone as well have been wiped but can still get into the boot loader. the problem is, i have tried so many diff things and none if them have worked.
Would putting all the original files from someone elses stock dx and put them on my sdcard make it so i can do a system restore? Has anyone tried that? It seems pretty logical considering that's where my all your files/directories go when you root.
Gonto droid life and read on how to do the full sbf, i havent done it in a DX in a while. Butit seems that you are missing a step somewhere, just key in sbf on droid life. Im not saying that you dont know how to do it. Just suggesting read up and make sure u arent missing anything

I have a stock unmodified defy updated to 2.2.2, recently the phone started constantly rebooting, usually it stays on for about 2-5min before it goes off or reboots, either plug-in or not. I thought it would be some problem with apps or something like that, so i reset the phone to factory settings and the same kept happening. The phone never reboots in bootloader mode or in recovery mode.
Since this wasnt working i decided to install a custom rom or even the stock roms in wiki in this forum.
Through the times i flashed the phone i only used the custom recovery once, do i have to use it for each time i flash it? It is really hard to keep the phone on long enough to install the bootloader each time.
the phone was a stock uk unlocked debranded version i got from expansys.
Now I installed a 4.5.1-112 Orange GB 2.3.3 with MotoBlur stock sbf version
All i done to this version load the bootloader and install it. the phone is dead now with no response connection to rsd lite or white led. (which i am about to try to sort it).
All i wonder is if it is me installing the sbfs wrong and because of that it is not fixing the reboot problem, or if this has happened to more people and does anyone knows a solution for it?
I have installed 2.2.1, 2.2.2 (stock) and modified from a tutorial in here and now 2.3.3 as mentioned above.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me.
Now you're in 2.3.3. Have you try boot into stock recovery and do total wipe of cache/data, and reboot again??
A lot of people forget this step when they do the flashing and restoring process..

you need to have custom recovery , wipe data and cache , then try or else search this forum (defy) for fixed sbf of your choice and flash that and then root and load your rom

I left the phone overnight without the battery on, and this morning for some reason i could reboot to 2.3.3 at first the phone stayed on without rebooting for about 30mins, but soon it started doing the same constant rebooting now it doesnt even go past the moto sign.
I have wipeout now the cache also and no changes.

What do you mean for a fixed sbf? That is a new term for me. It is really hard install the bootmenu thing because the phone doesnt stay on for long in the android os!!Is there any other way to connect to adb?
I got a fixed sbf and attempted to follow all the steps stricly, but when i dowgraded from gingerbread 4.5.1-112 Orange GB 2.3.3 with MotoBlur to Uk 3.4.2 froyo stock sbf from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933555
my phone this time gone really weird:
All i managed to do with this sbf was to root it with superclick, before it gone off again.
yesterday Saturday 03-12
-When I put the battery in, the phone refuses to go on, or to get in bootloader/recovery, after a few minutes the boots automatically and gets stuck in the moto logo (sometimes it goes off sometimes just stays there for 5min or more).
- If i plug the phone sometimes it stays off with the white led on, but rsd doesnt detect it, neither it goes on bootloader/recovery and sometimes it boots automatically sometimes doesn't come on at all.
Today:
- Tried to get the phone on this morning, it wouldnt go on or go into bootloader/recovery, then eventually it started up on its own and got stuck on the moto logo, i took the battery off and tried again, the phone wouldnt come on again, but eventually it started on its own and went to the bootmenu, where for the first time it crashed there, and it didnt recognise usb cable. I tried again and the phone booted up on its own with the usb cable to the bootloader,it gave the ok status for the usb connection but rsd lite never recognise it. Now it wont go on at all.
Please note that i have a desk charger and all this was done with a nearly full or full battery.
Does anyone know if the phone is completly dead now or if there is anything else I can do?
Thanks for the replies.
Mine just rebooting too
Dear derviansoul (",)
Hope all is well with you.
I just have the rebooting issue, like what you said (stayed on for 2-5mins before it goes off to reboot; phone never reboots in bootloader or recovery mode).
What i did was:
- i fell in love with Cyanogen mod 7.1.0-11 & 7.2-rc1 recently (thanks to Quarx & all in CM for your hard work);
- i had 32gb microsd card & decided to spent my hard-earned $ on a 64gb microsd card for this wonderful phone (due to CM, not Motorola);
- Sandisk microsd 64gb works AFTER erasing in Settings -> Storage;
- then, using Symantec Ghost 8.2 to clone my 32gb microsd card into 64gb;
- after putting in the clone-completed 64gb microsd card, the phone starts rebooting as described above;
- i tried to put back my own original 32gb microsd card, but the rebooting still happens!?!;
- in Recovery mode, i "wiped cache" & then go to "advanced", select "wipe dalvik cache", but problem remains;
- i formatted the the 64gb from Recovery mode, and manually copied the contents of the 32gb to 64gb using my WinXP computer, but the problem still remains!;
- (my solution) in bootloader mode, i go to "Tools" -> "share sd card", then from my WinXP computer, i can see the microsd card as Mass storage device, i deleted ONLY the folder ".android_secure" which is more than 2GB large.
- now there is no rebooting, and i just need to reinstall my apps from the Play Store, & my settings and data are all still there *sweet*.
Hope this helps.
Motorola Defy (red lens) cm7.2-rc1
Hi all,
I have a friend's Defy from a French carrier and my friend is with another carrier so I decide to SIM unlock it by installing CM7 and other files.
So I have root it and install the recovery.
In recovery, I have flash CM7 and Gapps.
But I get a boot loop...
So I decided to flash JORDN_U3_97.21.51 SBF and restart from scratch.
But now, the phone wont boot at all.
Nothing on the screen but it's still reconized by RSD (even if nothing is displayed on the screen) I can re-flash SBF files and RSD say "PASS" but doesn't reboot the phone.
So now I have a brick and can't boot vol up + power doesn't display anything.
Dose anyone have an idea for me ?
Thank you.
1st don't loose your battery - when no working system on the device then it is not being charged
You wrote nothing about wipes - have u performed them? If not try to get into any recovery and wipe user data / factory reset, try vol- w/power or vol + & - together, take a battery for some time before doing it etc.
What ROM u had before flashing CM7?
Is it defy or defy+?
And you flashed CG5 sbf
When you give more details maybe I can propose proper solution.

If I understood right, OP's DEFY is completely bricked and he cannot even access recovery.
Anyway, I unfortunately no solution to propose as I have a DEFY in the same situtation and I'm currently unable to revive it. We aren't the only who had DEFY bricked like this and some managed to have it wake up by flashing certain sbf.
You can try searching "bricked defy" on XDA and see what sbf the topic creator used to save his DEFY, if he succeeded to.
dont flash sbf just after the bootloop..!

frend i wanna tell u onething.the very first time i did the flashing of cm7.1stable on froyo 2.2.2defy i got a bootloop..since i was in hostel i cudnt afford internet..so i was soo scared and even waited for 15 min..but the cm7 logo with an arrow swirling around didnt stop..i puld the batery out and again inserted and did something stupid like clearing data and got the condition worse
then i flashed sbf using rsd lite ..again rooted and flashed cm7.1 stable and got bootloop..this time i surfed net and found what shud hav been done ..
1)pull out the battery after the boootloop.
2)clear cache
3)reboot
tats it..the welcome window comes in no time..
so coming to the present issue, after flashing the smf did u get bootanimation with light passing over "android" againg and again ??
Check that u r using the latest RSD.
I have a Defy plus but the same thing happened to me before (black screen even no boot with vol up) so I connected my phone to the computer (I can't really remember if I powered with a vol up or not) but I got it recognized by the RSD. try connecting and powering on the the vol up if nothing just connect and see what will happen.
The most important thing is to use the latest version of RSD.
and please tell me if it worked.
I'm not responsible for anything.
EDIT:
UPDATED POST AT THE BOTTOM!
Hey guys,
flashed czechops CM 10.2 a while ago everything was running fine.
On Saturday i decided to let the battery drain completely to do a full recharge. That`s when the Problems started.
After booting the Phone up i was stuck in a Bootloop with the Cyanogenmod Logo turning around and around and around and so on.
Okay i thought let`s reboot and see what happens.
Still the same.
I then booted into recovery by holding the x button on the keyboard and power and then when the androind in the triangle showed up using vol + and vol - to get into recovery.
I then deleted the cache and rebooted again (No full wipe to factory default trying to avoid that).
After that the phone turned on saying Android is getting updated Updating Package x of y.
After its done its now stuck in Apps getting started.
After i found out to get to the Bootmenu i decided to check the Recovery Menu there.
I can choose between Motorola Stock Recovery (the normal one i already was on)
and Team Win Recovery.
So i choose Team Win Recovery and thought okay since its not working im gonna install the Update of czechops 10.2
Installing itself worked fine. But now im stuck in the same loops.
Currently im goind a Backup of the System with the Team Win Recovery in the hope i wont loose the data even if what im trying to avoid a full factory wipe.
What kinda poped in my eyes when i started the recovery was that it said E: Unable to locate '/boot' partition for backup.
Could this be the problem which is stopping the phone from booting correctly?
And if so how can i fix it?
Hope anyone can help me,
Kind Regards,
Invi
I had te same problem before doing a clean install.
I don't know why but, if you install the android 10.0 tezet and from there start the gapps, creating a account and installing your apps, you do not have problems to install the 10.2.
Good luck.

Thanks for the heads up jonas.
Unfortunately its too late its seems. My Milestone is just a stone now it seems.
After trying to install 10.2 12.03.14 and that not working correct after doing a full factory wipe i decided to install cm 11 from czechop.
Unfortunately it seems it failed.
My milestone just boots up and stops at the First Logo. No lights. No chance to get in any recovery mode except the normal one.
Bootloader was working some time but stopped cause the Battery is almost empty.
The Problem is i cant even load the Phone anymore cause as soon as i put it on a charger it boots up and wont get enough battery power to live for a few minutes.
So the only thing left working is the normal Android 3e Recovery. Hope i can do anything from there.
Don't give up.
Your problem it's normal, you fisrt need a global battery charger to recharge your battery.
After it, go to boot recovery, you must turn on the milestone holding " volume down + camera" or "volume up + camera", than you need to uses the RSD Lite to reflash your milestone 2.
Normaly, when do you came from another room, you stay in boot loop, so you need to entery in Miestone recovery, "x + volume down" than after it you do a factory reset. It will boot normaly after that.
To go to boot recovery, you must turn on.
Try harder.
(Guys, lets try to help a little)
Sorry about my poor english
I wont. Already ordered an global battery charger yesterday. In the mail from the store delivery is 7-10 Weekdays.
Good thing i have a second cellphone which i can use in the meantime.

Thanks for the heads up jonas.
Unfortunately its too late its seems. My Milestone is just a stone now it seems.
After trying to install 10.2 12.03.14 and that not working correct after doing a full factory wipe i decided to install cm 11 from czechop.
Unfortunately it seems it failed.
My milestone just boots up and stops at the First Logo. No lights. No chance to get in any recovery mode except the normal one.
Bootloader was working some time but stopped cause the Battery is almost empty.
The Problem is i cant even load the Phone anymore cause as soon as i put it on a charger it boots up and wont get enough battery power to live for a few minutes.
So the only thing left working is the normal Android 3e Recovery. Hope i can do anything from there.

hi, I had a similar situation to that earlier today, in that I got to the situation where on boot up I got the Motorola logo then nothing else (I was trying to install C.M. 11 from 10.2 but when it went to install got a message E;// error - verification signature installation aborted), after major panic thinking I'd bricked my milestone, I tried starting the phone in bootloader mode (press camera, volume up and power buttons at the same time) which gives a black screen saying boot loader 70.13 and towards the bottom says boot menu, connect USB, then on your pc find program MOTOROLA SOFTWARE UPDATER (hope you've got it) open the program, it'll say connect a device plug your phone in and let it do it's stuff, takes about an hour (charge your battery using a desktop battery charger beforehand) and your phone will be returned to the stock Motorola rom but at least your phone isn't a brick and you can always start again trying cyanogenmod.
hope this helps

So i downloaded Motorola Software Updater and RSD Lite + Motorola Device Manager newest Version
Unfortunately my Milestone seems not to be recognized by either Software updater nor RSD Lite.
In the Device Manager S Flash OMAP3630 shows up and is recognized.
Im running Windows 8.1 x64 and on a second Computer Windows 7 x64
What tool can i use ander Linux? Maybe the Phone will be recognized there.
EDIT:
K found it. Doing it with Linux at the Moment. Its working.
Only need to Root it then and after that flash my old Files and hope they are working.
At least i have an old Backup i made from Tezet before going up to 10.2 which i made with Clockworkmod
Hope it will work and not be broken like the one i made with Team Win Recovery.
Anyone knows how i can change stuff in a Team Win Backup?

I did find it took a long time for the Motorola software updater (about 20 mins) to detect my milestone 2 (I'm using windows7 x64), I'm thinking the mistake I made when trying to upgrade to CM 11 was I didn't wipe data/cache before trying to install it

Hi mark,
well Windows popped up saying N/A
when it should show new Software.
It also couldnt recognize my Cellphone correctly it seemed.
But i flashed it with Linux anyways.
Flashing to tezet`s 10 worked also like a charm
and i could install my Backup i made in december before
updating to czechops 10.2.
Guess after i know what to do now i will try to update to cm11 now.

let us know how you get on as I'm tempted to try again (I do like how CM10 gets rid of all the un-necessary apps but gives you control of all the system parameters) but want to step up to CM11 without having the same problem as before.
