Black screen + led and the 2.3.6 that blocks the downgrade - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I really need help ..my defy wouldn't boot so i tried flashing it with 2.2(not knowing that it can't be done with 2.3.6) so now i have 2 problems,the fact that i can't downgrade and the led problem.
What should i do next? i am desperate
My phone is visible though in Rsd lite.
I know i did mistakes but i only use Android for a week.
Update: i flashed it using rsd lite and 4.5.1-134_DFP-188,it seems to work good.

[Q] MS2 Died?

Yesterday I tried to install the official motorola GB in Froyo but in the way my computer was not enough space to complete the download and installation, after that, he was appearing on a screen with the message "code corrupt", tried to use rsd lite to go back to 2.2 and then update again, but the screen is all black and only the light illuminates the usb. Would anyone know give me a hand?
PS: When i used the rsd lite, during the process apears on screen sw update, or something like that, but, when finishes with "Finished / Pass" it's all black =/
Thanks in advance

[Q] My Defy won't turn on

So, i updated the software a few weeks ago from 2.2.2 to 4.1.1 , all went well , it was a complete succes. Today i wanted to go back to 2.2.2 . I downloaded RSD Lite 4.9 and a SBF file, I entered Bootloader menu and tryed to downgrade , but i got some errors and the phone got stuck in bootloader menu . I thought it was from the SBF , and i tryed another file and the update failed and the phone shut down . And now i dont know what to do , i'm kind of desperate . And when i plug it in the PC the white LED turns on , when it is charging in the wallcharger the LED doesent turn on . I tryed different ways to turn it on ... and with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideeas ??

Reflash another SBF... did you try flashing an éclair sbf by mistake?
What was your BL?
Try one of the BL5 froyo sbfs... Nordic seems to be rather popular... check the BL version before you flash, try out BL 5, but I'd suggest you think twice and ask for more help before flashing a BL6 sbf.

Ya BL is 9.10 for all, bit there's (sub) versions of it like CG4 ,CG5 CG6 & CG7. So most people just say BL6 BL7 etc. That's what I meant.
CG Version 2: SBF 2.21 / 2.34 /
Chinese (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) (Defy)
CG Version 5: SBF 4.5.0 / 4.5.1
(Gingerbread) (Defy)
CG Version 6: SBF 4.5.1 (Gingerbread,
2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
CG Version 7: SBF 4.5.1 (Latests
Gingerbreads, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/
Defy+) )
If you try to flash a lower ID version
than the one already on your phone, you
will just get a Black screen after booting
or a screen telling you to flash an
official rom.
So, with this in mind, you can now hop
between Android versions without
screwing up your phone.

Use an external charger or another phone to fully charge your battery and then plug it in and RSDLite will detect it.

Hi, I am in a similar situation that my defy wont boot up (no screen activity) after I flashed the official Froyo ( Ver 4). The problem is that i bought it second hand and some miui rom (gingerbread) was installed in it with second init active with prerooted. I wanted official Froyo, dont know what was the highest version installed in it. Later tried to install the Nordic Froyo SBF, it didn't help either.
I have another defy on the same miui built (which is working normally and used for charging the dead defys battery), dont know what to do with the soft-bricked one. Which sbf to flash to make it work again.

exactly the same situation here. Someone pls come up with a solution I don't want to believe that the phone is now useless by a software problem there must be a solution
Have you tried charging through external battery charger or the mcgyver method?

Flashing a bl6 sbf helped out. The sbf I used was dfp-125. Made my defy into defy plus though and only after that it booted. Can root and install secondinit on it for further flashing. Once you get to the red motor logo after flashing, you might have to wipe data cache from stock recovery.
Hope this helps.

Make a downgrade on defy results: Brick your device!
1st attempt: Plug in the PC and wait a green led (means your battery it´s above 80% charged)... Be patient!!!
2nd attempt: You must to have/do one "factory cable"(searchable in CM´s foruns) to charge the battery. To be recognized by the RSD Lite you need to keep the "factory cable" to do a downgrade.

[Q] Motorola defy me525 help please..!

Ok..
A few weeks ago I ''bricked'' my phone when I tried to flash a sbf, hoping to get the phone a higher/better OS than motoBLUR. But it went really wrong, I couldnt start my phone after flashing succesfully.. Later on I kinda came to the conclusion that I flashed the wrong sbf. Since my phone is a me525 and I used a file for mb525. What the result was that my phone turned black and it was showing a white led when charged in the pc. I have searched for quite a while for a sbf. that suits my phone to flash it again. So if there is a kind person who could help me I would be very grateful!
p.s. I'm new into all this developing with OS' and stuff..
Same issue!

Hey..! im on the same problem..cant get my phone to boot up normally ..but the computer still detect the phone even if its black screen well hope we get help..i need my phone back ..
I know just a couples of days ago that you have encountered "soft" or "fake brick": just go to bootloader mode as usual and try flash a new SBF. It is in boot loader, just no screen display.
