[Q] Freezing,Stock Recovery problem

well my dad was having problems with his defy, running a stock us 2.2.1. I looked at his phone, and after a few minutes, it would freeze up, and go into a bootloop, or still screen of the motorola logo.
First thing i tried is the stock recovery, which would freeze as soon as i started to wipe cache, and or data reset. After that, it gets stuck on the motorola logo no matter what.
I thought flashing a different .sbf would work, tried it, and finally got it to load to the "Welcome to android - please touch to continue" screen, as soon as i touched it, it froze.
flashed - JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF
went into recovery again to try to hard reset, but once again it freezes when it starts to clear cache/data factory reset.
Reflashed, now its still stuck on the motorola logo.
Any help is appreciated, thanks

The phone seems absolutely messed up.. can you send it back to service?

Found a fix for anyone having this problem.v
Flash any sbf , and
Once its says "restart phone manually', exit the program, and unplug your phone, plug in your phone while in boot loader, them start the program,.and it should. Finish
the process, now you can clear cache and factory reset. Sorry I drank a little, the program is to install sbf's I can't think of the name

Installing froyo 2.2.1 keeps rebooting in start up

Hi All,
I want to share my experience:
I installed several version of CM (7, 7.2, 9) but none where my complete liking
so i said "I will install the 2.2.1 version again with RSDLigth"
everything went ok, but when the phone rebooted as part of the process, it was only rebooting in the blank screen and never entering the OS.
Even the RSD Ligth never finished the installation :s
After several hours it occurred to me that if i wipe the cache and restore to factory settings might help
So i took the batter off, press power button several times to eliminate any energy in the phone
place the battery and pres FIRST volume button down and then power button.
Kept pressing till the Android with a "!" appeared in the screen and then pres volume up and down at the same time and came up the recovery of the phone
cleared the cache and restore to factory settings.
rebooted the phone Connected to the pc, and the process finally ended and the phone worked.
Hope this can help some one else that might be having the same issue as i did.
Here is the link to the forum where you can have the installations steps to reinstall using the RSD:

Strange Bricked Defy ?

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.

[Q] Help! Bricked DEFY! Blackscreen!

These days I have flashed Xpria D rom into my Defy. Everything's fine, but always meet "unknown error -24" or "invalid package" while installing apps. So I decided to flash another JB rom. Unluckily, things got even worse. No WiFi, and no Signal. I got really mad, so today I tried to flash SBF packages,
----------------------
1. I have Downloaded & Installed RSDL and Drivers
2. I forgot to wipe data / cache before flashing SBF
3. My BL seemed to be 5, but I flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC, which BL is 4 (?)
4. After flashing, it said "please manually reboot....",
5. I pulled the battery, unplugged USB cable, and put the battery back, then tried to boot my Defy in normal way
6. BLACKSCREEN!
7. Then I attempt to boot into bootloader in some ways, like
7a. Pull the battery, (after moments) put it back, with holding POWER and VOL+ -> Nothing happened, and RSD not detected my Defy
7b. Pull the battery, connect Defy (without batt) to the computer, with holding VOL+ and POWER, and put the battery back quickly -> Not working, RSD not detected
8. So my question, exactly, is my Defy got blackscreen, and just can't detected by RSD anyway. Anyone help?
PS: The front LED seems working while plugging phone into the computer....

Defy Bricked
Hello,
Phone: Motorola Defy mb525 US TMobile(Currently being used in India)
Build number: 3.4.2-107 idn-9
I was trying to look for some applications that could take backup of my existing ROM when I forgot to turn off debugging during reboot after installing 2ndInit. Now I am unable to boot it up and it reboots after M logo. I tried fastboot but get only Android System Recovery. I have tried the following without any success.
1. RSD Lite: I dont see my phone in the device properties when I connect it to Windows after fast boot. Clicking Start and Show Device button does nothing.
2. Had battery drain problem but managed to get it charged using macgyver battery charge method.
Can some one really tell me how do I fix this?
Would appreciate your response.
I really need my phone back. :crying:

[Q] RSD Lite :: Please manually boot this device

Hi All,
I tried to flash my phone with STOCK ROM by using RSD lite. I used an SBF file for this.
The status in RSD lite is showing as "Please manually boot up this device".
I have then unplugged the device and went into the bootloader by
pressing Power+Vol UP.Now I connected the device back to the PC and suddenly the RSD lite status shows as PASS but the mobile does not go past the Android boot screen.
I have tried using different SBF files but the result is same.
Has anyone face the same issue before or knows the solution to this problem??If so please share...

How long did you wait between appearing of the "Please manually boot up this device" message to booting?
I usually leave the phone for few minutes and it eventually reboots on it's own all the way to the stock, usable system and Android configuration wizard. I have never even tried to do this manually.

I waited for some 5 minutes and then searched on the internet if anybody else has faced the same problem...
The solution I found on the net was to disconnect the mobile from the USB port and connect it back again by entering into the bootloader mode.
Then the status on the RSD lite changed to PASS but phone is not getting through the boot logo of Android ...

Boot to stock recovery 3e. Press vol up + down at the same time. Clear cache and reboot. If still bootloop, enter stock recovery again, but this time do factory reset and reboot. Good luck!

+1. i've just done this yesterday and this is exactly what happened in my case as well. that is, just leave it as it for a few minutes and the phone will eventually rebooted itself to the system. that's when i unplug the usb cable.
