hello fellows, tried to flash ms2ginger3.0 and the device got stuck on boot logo, boot menu wont load, and stock recovery (vol down + power button) doesn't work either. Tried also to attend to the operator, but they won't fix an none stock version.
any suggestions?
use rsd lite and flash a new sbf to it.
In case you don't know how to flash a new sbf with RSD Lite, here's a quick tutorial:
1) Install the Motorola drivers and RSD Lite on your computer. See this guide for installing Moto drivers and RSD Lite:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674
2) Download the sbf file that you want to flash, and save it to your PC. Many sbf files can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 WARNING: If you flash a full stock SBF file, in most cases you will lose the ability to downgrade to earlier firmware versions. NEVER flash a full stock SBF file with a higher Android version than 2.2 (Froyo). Any stock firmware with Android version 2.3 or higher is made for the DEFY+, which has different camera hardware than the DEFY. If you flash the stock DEFY+ firmware, your camera will be broken and you won’t be able to downgrade back to Froyo again.
3) Make sure the phone battery is fully charged. 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.)
4) Start RSD Lite on your computer, then connect the phone with a USB cable. In RSD Lite, the Status column should say “Connected…”. Click on that, and some information about your phone should show up under Device Properties. Next, click the “…” button and browse to select the SBF file that you want to install. After opening it, information about the file should show up under File Properties. Then click “Start” and wait for the flashing process to complete. Wait until the phone has fully rebooted and RSD Lite says “Pass” before closing RSD Lite and disconnecting the USB cable. As an extra precaution, I usually power off the phone before disconnecting the cable.
Good luck!

Do you get the "no such file found" error as soon as you select a recovery option, or does the error happen later?
If all else fails, just flash a new sbf using RSD Lite. (See my previous post, above.) If you're planning to install CM7 again, I recommend using the 3.4.2-179-2 CEE DEBLUR sbf. Then follow this guide to install CM7 with working google apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798

on my defy + with BL7 i read some where that this is possibole but evrey time i try to flash one of them the phone gets into bootloop or bricked :\
need a video guide or something
Reply!
Hey there!
The defy+ comes with bl7 so you've got to root it with this method(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013&page=5)
1. Shut down the phone>Press the button Volume Down and keep it pressed>Press the buton Power On>A Yelow Triangle with an Android will appear>Pres both Volume buttons>A menu will appears>Navigate up/down with the Volume buttons and Accept with Power buttons> sellect Whipe Data and Factory Reset and then Whipe cache>Select Reboot from menu and press imediately the Volume UP buton>the phone will enter in Bootloader Mode (is ready for flash process)>Connect it to PC
2. The Flashing proces is done on PC with the phone connected. You must install RDS Lite and Motorola USB Drivers (after installing drivers restart the PC.
Run installed RDS Lite as Administrator (if you use Windows Vista or 7). Click on [ … ] Button and select your .SBF file and click Open.
Boot your phone into Bootloader Mode (as I said at point 1.).
Now connect your Defy to your PC (if is not already connected)
The START button on RSD Lite should be available now, click and wait.
Don't disconnect until RDS Lite will show PASS.
Now your defy plus is rooted.
Now you have to install 2ndint. It gives you recovery menu.
Now you can go to recovery and flash any rom you want as per your wish.
i've did used this method a bilion of times , and evrey time after i flash the new rom phone gets bricked or into bootloop :\
When installing MS2Ginger, go to Backup and restore -> Advanced restore -> /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/MS2Ginger and restor system only. Then restore devtree and recovery. Don't restore boot as this is the kernel, which is for lower BL version, therefore causing a bootloop or a soft brick. I haven't flashed a BL7 Defy+ with MS2Ginger and am not 100% sure it will work, but theoretically, if anything would work, it would be this.
it works..

my stock rom really suck i can't write well enough in hebrew/russian or even read
So i wanted to install a rom (Froyo 2.2). Formatted, wiped cache and dalvik. Pushed the wrong button carelessly and rebooted. Than i oppened the motorola recovery and wiped cache. Now i can't open the recovery menu of CM and i don't have google play installed so there is no way to boot zip files..
Please need help, seriously. And i'm green with android's..
Oh wow
Take a 2.2 Froyo File, download RDS Lite
Turn your Device down then push the Volume Button down + Unlock Button
When you see the android sign push Audio up + down at the same time
Then go to factory reset and do this
Now put your battery out and back in
Boot with Volume button up + Unlock Button
Now you should see the bootloader screen
Connect your phone to your PC start RSD Lite and flash your 2.2 froyo stock sbf

I have a problem with Defy Green lense after installing 2ndboot Quarx. It seems that Android isn't mounting internal memory correctly
I can't install any app and after I restart phone, I get wizard to setup my phone like I just installed new ROM. From search on forum I found that people had problems with internal storage, but they always had some storage left (I have 0mb).
The things I have tried to do:
Installing fix for 11.10 and v2
Revert to old ROM version (non 2ndboot)
Factory reset from Settings
Delete data, cache and dalvik from Custom Recovery
Delete data/cache from Stock Recovery
Install another ROM (ParanoidAndroid)
Remount /system and /sdcard from Custom recovery
When I try to see log in custom recovery, I get this (log.jpg)
Can anybody tell my how to fix it?
Edit: How to fix internal memory
Motorola Defy
RSD Lite (download here: http://goo.gl/KRSRp
SBF (i reccomend 2.2 CEE Froyo) (download here: http://goo.gl/Jhz84) (for other SBFs use this link: http://goo.gl/dYQTl )
USB Cable
Charged battery (at least 50%)
Motorola USB Drivers (download here: http://goo.gl/bWg1M )
Download and install USB Drivers
Download and install RSD Lite
Turn off your phone
Go into bootloader by pressing Power button and Vol+ button
Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable
Make sure everything is OK
Locate downloaded SBF. In popup dialog press Uncompress and start flashing
If you get " Please manually power up this phone " in RSD Lite pull battery out > put your battery back > reboot into stock recovery by holding Power button and Vol- button > Choose Wipe data/cache > Choose Reboot system now

Hi Stock recovery does not work rsd lite does not exhibit the problems 2.3.6 installation on my mb525
sorry for my english
Stable or stock?
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
Sorry stock not working .
Define: not working
What's the issue: unable to enter, unable to wipe?
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
When I press vol -, nothing happens. Defy not be included in the stock recovery mode. Works only vol + (botloader).
Holding both volume down and power button even after the Motorola logo should get you into the stock recovery I.e android with an exclamation. From there holding both volume buttons should be enough. If this does not work then an sbf flash is necessary

If you are stuck with BL7, there's no way to downgrade from it.
Now, you'll have to follow this tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
It's simple. And if you do everything described, there's no way you will solve your problem.
After this, you'll be able to flash any Custom ROM.
Good Luck.
"1. Wipe phone twice (2x make Wipe Data/Cache in stock recovery)"
I can't enter the stock recovery in that my problem.: (

So, you are stuck in the Boot Loader screen?
Try following those steps:
1. Flash the .sbf file (4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE) directly from RSD Lite.
2. Reboot. Even if you get stuck in a bootlooping screen, hold Vol. Down Key while booting. Once inside de Stock Recovery screen, press both Vol. Down and Up keys at same time and do a Wipe.
3. After that, flash the rooted SBF 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SBF from RSD Lite

As far as I know, if your ROM enters in the M Logo, you should be able to get in the stock recovery.
This is one of the good things about having a locked bootloader.
Remember to press the Vol. Down Key on the right time, when the LED turns on for a while.
If it doesn't work, try holding the Vol. Down Key and then press the Power button to turn it on.
After that, in the Recovery Screen, press both Vol. Down and Vol. Up keys at the same time to access the Recovery Menu.
Please, let me know if it worked.
Good Luck.

As I told before, it's normal to get a bootloop in the DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN.
After flashing this one, you still have to flash the 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SBF.
Reposting the steps:
1. Flash the .sbf file (4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE) directly from RSD Lite.
2. Reboot. Even if you get stuck in a bootlooping screen, hold Vol. Down Key while booting. Once inside de Stock Recovery screen, press both Vol. Down and Up keys at same time and do a Wipe.
3. After that, flash the rooted SBF 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SBF from RSD Lite
If you can't wipe, just flash it with RSD Lite from the bootloader screen. To get there, hold Vol. Up Key while turning on your device.
This is the 2nd time I've bricked my defy. The first time I flashed a full sbf, which I don't remember which now and the phone was fixed.
But this time I can't fix it by flashing sbf. The phone came with Orange France Froyo. If I remember right, the first time I fixed it by flashing the stock sbf, however I'm not sure.
So when my phone couldn't boot at all I flashed it again "Orange France" for defy:
"JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_164-005_OR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8ORAFR03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYOORAFR_P023_A010_M004_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz"
But when RSD Lite tells me to "manually reboot the phone", I unplug it and Power button+volumn down, after the red M appears, it shows an android bot with an exclamation mark in a triangle.
So I think maybe last time I have flashed a gingerbread sbf. I then downloaded a full sbf for defy+:
"DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125_BLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P022_A022_M002_HWp3_WIG148094_Service1FF"
It's still the same result: "an android bot with an exclamation mark in a triangle"
I need serious help, thanks. There is still hope right, as my phone still can show stuff....:crying:
Can you boot into stock recovery?? if YES then complete wipe and try SBF again ...

Thank you. This is embarrassing! The minute I clicked submit this post I pressed some buttons in desperation on my phone then I saw the lovely "blue letters", the recovery menu !! I then cleaned all data and cache and my phone can boot again ! I am going to root it and flash roms !!
Thank you anyway !
p.s. At this moment I found with the full sbf I flashed the camera doesn't work. Hoepfully when I get it rooted and flash CM10.1 everything works normally again.

Power + volume down is required to go to stock recovery:laugh:.Press only power button. To access stock recovery from the exclamation mark + triangle press volume up + volume down.
But i'm still wondering as to why you flashed Defy+ SBF. Now you can't downgrade and the camera won't work. You have to use 2ndboot ROMS like CM9 (EPSYLON), CM10.x and MS2Ginger.

I did that only as I thought my sbf flashed failed because my previous sbf flash was to a higher version. In fact I could have press some button to see the recovery menu.
Thank you for the info! I didn't know the "camera doesn't work" scenario till you tell me! Nvm, I normally use CM10.
When I have rooted my phone successfully, I find I can't use stock recovery to flash a CM10, which now I see makes sense...
But how do I install CWM recovery plz? I download it on sdcard and then ...? There's only one option "apply update from sdcard", do I flash the downloaed CWM recovery with that option?
I just tried install TWRP by using stock recovery "update from sdcard", it shows the same error as I flash a CM 10 ROM:
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
You can´t flash CMx through stock recovery, you need 2nd init app (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=589645&d=1304799260) after installing this and folowing steps in app reboot and wait for blue led turns on and press volume down and go into custom recovery, WIPE, and install your CMx adn reboot =)
