You are not doing it properly. First of all make sure your phone is powered off. Then press the vol up key and keep pressing it. Then press the power key. Do not relese the vol up key till you see the bootloader.

you seem to be pressing vol-.
you have to press vol+ and then power on button or press vol+ and battery insert

I tried the mokey method

Was it to heaven of cell phones?

Remove cable and battery hold down volume + insert battery press power on, your now in bootloader ,now you can release Vol up and insert cable.

are your vol buttons working properly?

To use the RST, you must use the Vol + button. If done correctly the motorola logo will not appear.

All started when the Defy began to restart on the startup MotoBlur screen, I went into recovery mode (vol-) and restore the original settings, but continued with the same problem. I tried to install via RSD Lite the Froyo rom, the Defy booted and stopped on the screen where need to enter the MOTOBLUR account, but he came back to restart.
After I entered the bootloader (vol+) with the rom JORLA, started normally and the screen to set up the account MOTOBLUR he restarts (again) with the same problem. I removed the battery to enter the bootloader to put Froyo rom again but no longer entered the bootloader, I tried the recovery menu and also failed. I put the charger and nothing, stay on the screen with the M in the center, it blink and does not leave him, I put in the USB but a white light turn on and the computer does not recognize anything.
I don't know what I do.
Sorry for my english ...

I've a similar problem on a NEW Motorola Defy...
...can't go in Bootloader!!!
I've pressed Power and Vol+ BEFORE insert battery and doesn't work!
Recovery Mode works but I can't use RSD Lite to flash (is possible without recovery???)
My phone is a Defy Mini with red lens, 600 MHz CPU (so it isn't a Plus) and 1700mAH battery (like Plus?).
Is a italian phone branded by TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile), maybe they made some "lock"?

try this:
start and set RSDlite with your favorite sbf
than conect the phone in OFFMODE
if the RSDlite see your phone (something like this"S Flash 3630)
start flash the sbf
if not, try to charge the battery(could be empty) and try again
if even so RSDlite not see the phone NOW you have a problem
good luck

system format
Hi!
Sorry it's my first question here on XDA forum.
I have a Defy with CWM, and Stock ROM. Can I use format system partition, and then flash a Custom ROM from a zip file in CWM? Or should I use just wipe data/cache, then flash a Custom ROM? Which is better?
Thanks

First: You posted in wrong thread, this thread is only for that defy's not going in locked on M logo and no recovery & bootloader. 2nd: You don't need to format system rom, because cwm wipe it while flashing ROM zip. Just wipe data/cache/dalvik and you'll fine.

Has anyone saved this problem ? i`m into the same situation...

Try monkey method - hold volup + power and when insert battery. Helped for me once. If this method will not help try this - 1.remove phone battery from defy, 2.plug charger to socket ,but not in the phone, 3. Holding volup button plug charger in phone without battery, 4. It should enter in bootloader but with blinking VATTERY LOW. CANNOT PROGRAM, 5. put battery in phone, 6. Reflash with rsd lite. If above metods not helping - still moto logo - mainboard fried, when only one solution - service center. Good luck. :thumbup:

[REQ] original Roms for XT720

Buddies,
can anyone upload the original roms for Milestone XT720? (SG, Kr, and other)
So we can do more testing worry free. If anything goes wrong, we can just flash it back to original. It would be nicer if someone can also show how to flash the rom.

Flashing Guide by Hahutzy
Hahutzy said:
Alright, I just crashed my phone into an infinite FC loop by messing with system/app, so a reflash was in order.
Here's how I successfully flashed it back to stock using Windows 7 32bit (dense text ahead):
1) Search somewhere along the lines of "RSDLite - download here" on google
2) Go inside first link, download the file that's named somewhere along the lines of "RSDLite_4.5.3.zip"
3) Install it.
4) Go to http://and-developers.com/sbf:xt720
5) Download the 2nd Full Flash rom, the one where the provider is "Southeast Asia"
6) Unzip that file, you now have a .sbf folder (not file)
7) Put that .sbf folder in C:\Users\Admin\My Documents
8) Shut down phone, take out battery
9) Hold Power + Volume Down + Camera buttons all at once
10) Put in the battery while holding those buttons
11) Phone is now in bootloader mode (screen looks like a command prompt)
12) Release the buttons, and plug USB to computer and phone
13) Open RSD Lite, your phone should be detected as connected (Device name was like "S OMAP 3440" or some BS like that)
14) Click "..." to browse for the .sbf file in C:\Users\Admin\My Documents
15) In RSD Lite, click to highlight your connected XT720, and then click "Start". The first column beside the connected phone should now have a green icon thing, and the ROM is being flashed.
16) DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE, THE CABLE, OR THE COMPUTER! (I went and took a dump)
17) When the "Status" column in RSD Lite says "Please manually power up this phone", so shut it down and power it again. Note: The status stays in "Checksum Group 37" for a verrrrryyyy long time before saying "Rebooting". I thought it got stuck there, but it ended up ok.
18) Your XT720 is now reflashed to stock.
19) You can now close RSD Lite. It will complain saying you will damage the attached device, but I pulled it out wayyyy before this (I unhooked it when it told me to reboot manually) and my XT720 is not dead. You may choose to close RSD Lite before unhooking your XT720.
20) Post your results in this thread and confirm or reject my procedure.
spiderx_mm, you may quote this on your first post for others' easy access to this procedure if you so wish to.

Sorry, can i know how to put the phone into bootloader mode? I cant not find in google and this forum for xt720.
press volume and power together
can not go to boot loader. Already press power and volume button
first you need to switch off the phone, then press camera button and power and keep those pressed until recovery icon appears. THEN press volume up and power, if I remember this correctly.

[Q] Defy stuck on Motorola's logo and can't access the recovery mode

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!!

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...

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 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.

press Volume+ key and Power on the phone..
it will go to BL Mod CONNECT PHONE TO PC VIA USB open RSD Lite
then RSD Lite will Recognize your phone
then flash your SBF

It might won't show up but try this..
Press volume+ & Power button. Even if the screen remains blank, connect it to RsdLite. If it shows up in RsdLite, flash the SBF.
If it doesn't, then unfortunately, its bricked.

Pull the battery and reinsert it while holding Vol-Down. This usually works as a power-up.
Do it while connected to a PC. The PC should sound the "device connected" sound.
If the white LED comes on, it usually means the phone is OFF and charging. No LED usually means it's ON and in BL mode (you should get the white text on black screen, but you won't if you have flashed a 'bad' SBF).
Try this a few times.
If nothing else is broken you should be able to get into BL mode and flash an SBF.
But your power button needs to be mechanically fixed at some stage, or your phone isn't going to be much use.

Do it while connected to a PC. The PC should sound the "device connected" sound.
If the white LED comes on, it usually means the phone is OFF and charging. No LED usually means it's ON and in BL mode (you should get the white text on black screen, but you won't if you have flashed a 'bad' SBF).
Try this a few times.
If nothing else is broken you should be able to get into BL mode and flash an SBF.
But your power button needs to be mechanically fixed at some stage, or your phone isn't going to be much use.

I have tried all of this already and unfortunately it doesnt get into bootloader mode it just comes up with the moto logo. The phone was working before i tried to update my cwm to twrp i didnt flash an sbf. The power button works fine it must be stuffed on the mainboard i took it apart and the button works fine, why do i need the power button for anyway?

now can you turn on your phone? the power btn works?
try flashing official sbf , root and 2nd-init again.
p.s make sure you have above 20% batt or you gonna spend your time just like me plugging the defy mobo directly to 5 volts.

Doesn't bootmenu (Recovery) give you option to reboot into Bootloader? If so, do this and flash an SBF.

Even if it does, power button is malfunctioning, hence can't select it...

<<< head hits desk >>>
OK so if the phone will boot into recovery it SHOULD also boot into bootloader ?
Maybe I confused OP by saying hold "Vol Down" when I meant "Vol UP" ???
Anyway, OP will probably not get too far without a functional Power button.

Are you SURE? I have had Bootloader work even though nothing shows on screen (when I flashed the wrong SBF). The screen was black but RSD could still "see" the device.
Defy has a locked bootloader (cannot be overwritten), so the fact that you can boot into recovery indicates the bootloader is still there and working. Maybe the problem is in your version of RSD Lite, or your version of drivers installed on the PC, or in your USB cable?
Try uninstalling the drivers from the PC, then rebooting, then attaching the phone and insert battery while holding Vol-Up. This SHOULD reinstall the BL drivers to the PC. Try another USB cable - I have had cables which work for charging but not for data transfer.

Can you boot into bootloader? (Power + Volume up)
Install motorola drivers for pc, install rsd, enter the bootloader with power+volume up buttons like xiihyou said, then connect your phone via usb to pc and start the rsd proces flashing....
Should Help
The same happen to me , solution is simple .....
Just Install drivers ( HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100585)
Pull out battery, now put it back with Power button and Volume up pressed together
you should be in bootloader mode
Now choose the right SBF file for your Phone .....
After you Defy boots up, Shut it down -> wipe data and cache ( Press Power button and Volume Down)
And now your mobile should be OK
