Hi Guys and Girls, I hope this is the right place for my question. Sorry if I sound like a 12-year old - my english is not really the best...
I own the Motorola Defy+, and I tried to get rid of motoblur. I installed SndInit 2.0, did a reboot, did a backup, did factory reset, wiped dalvik cache and picked the miui-rom I had previously placed on my SD. The installation went pretty good, my phone told me that it finished the installation and I did another reboot.
After the reboot I get the red M (default Motorola-logo just like before I was meddling around with the phone) but just for a very short period of time and then I get a black screen with white letters (slightly out of proportion) saying:
Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,00,00,23
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB
When I remove the USB-cable the last two lines are replaced by:
Connect USB
Data Cable
Do you guys have any idea, how I could get MIUI, CM or anything else running on my phone again? I'd even be quite happy to have the stockrom running again, since a phone with ****ty motoblur is still better than no phone at all.
I'd be really grateful for any kind of help, thanks in advance.
The miui you installed was for defy or defy+? And , can you access to recovery?
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz
You have forgot to do 2 things. this might be the problem .
Do:
1. Factory reset.
2. wipe data cache.
3. wipe dalvik cache.
4.install MIUI rom.
5. wipe once again data cache.
6. reboot.
If you can access recovery again . my guess you can..
Thank you guys for taking care of me!!
@LeonardoJegigzem
The MIUI is called miui-ger_DEFY_1.12.23_FULL_EN_DE.zip - it's for Defy but I've read in forums that it should run on Defy+ aswell.
@VoLtrex31
I can't access recovery (I'm assuming you're talking about the "push volume-down when blue LED turns on"-recovery?), the screen I described in OP appears right after the red-M shows up for the first time.
You are right, I didn't wipe data cache neither before, nor after the installation.
Thats not good.
Search in the forums for how to access the recovery via your computer..
This might be your only way.
Ask more forums for technical help since xda is not the best forum for asking for help.
because i am not an expert .
But don't worry i bet many people got that problem too so there is a solution .
at last you have stock recovery(i think)
to access it (on defy) ress and hold VOL DOWN and power button.
Than after(about 10 sec) you'll get an exclamation mark.
Now press VOL UP and DOWN at the same time and you can wipe data.
If phone boots up perfectly yo can reinstall 2ndinit.
If not.. i think that you have to flash the appropriate sbf via rsd lite.

Now that's great news - the folks at motorola seem to know that ppl want to avoid ****ty motoblur and **** up their phones so they built an easy way to rescue broken phones.
I will try that asap - right now I'm using an old sony ericsson Xperia X8 - want my Defy+ back!
Thanks buruss!
Hi guy,I know about what you talking.
1. everytime i stuck on "white letters" i recovered my defy+ with RSDLite and correct SBF file.
2. If you have 2.3.6 version of stock rom,miui or any common cm7 won't work - afaik. You must downgrade (somewhere is topic about it) or use cm7.2 or cm9

Yea, I 've been through the same today/yesterday, and after a lot of cursing I can tell you it is exactly like this T.T you have to re-flash the stock ROM 2.3.6 again, and then if you find a way to downgrade/install Miui-CM/basically anything than staying with the stock ROM, let me know! xD
Just relax, I'm telling you this because yesterday I could have killed a dragon with my bare hands, but a soft brick is NP, as long as RSDlite recognizes your phone you can always going back to safety, from what I've learnt hard bricking a Defy is veryveryvery hard, thanks/due to a locked boot loader
Hey Guys, first let me thank you! I'm feeling quite happy now knowing that I'm not the only one with this kinda problem and I'll try the RSDlite-rescue-mission in a few days.
Happy new year everybody!

I guess it's inevitable, when you start trying this and that custom ROM, sooner or later you're going to screw it up xD but it's actually good when that happens, because you know 100% you can fix everything - you did it once, you'll do it again
Happy new year!
miui uses the 2.2 froyo as base, since all the defy plus have gingerbread miui wont boot, miui hve boot.img and davtree.img in the rom.zip, if you flashan old boot.img in to a newer defy plus with new bootloader(2.3.6) you get an error, ho to fix it, try deleting the boot.img and devtree.img from the zip and replace the 2.3.6 boot.img and devtree.img form 2.3.6 and add it to the zip( miui rom) and try to flash it again and see if it works
You guys are awesome! Phone is booting again
installed RSDlite 5.3.1
downloaded the latest .sbf for my phone and my provider
let RSDlite do its magic and now everything's working just fine.
Next thing to do - try again to get rid of motoblur!
It's not 100% true, I installed MIUI over my 2.3.4 Gingebread and it worked like a charm
Only problem is, I can't install it anymore now that I'm on 2.3.6, but 2.2 is not strictly needed, 2.3.4 worked as well
Hey, guys! I have the exact same problem. I tried to install a Galnet MIUI ROM over at galnetmiui.co.uk, and i messed it up. I didn't really know what i was doing. Perhaps i forgot to wipe cache after installation. Have the exact same error message as mikrokosmonaut.
I was running my mb 256 with android 2.3.6, as far as I know, i have to use RSD Lite to istall stock rom again. Where do I find the correct SBF? My phone was bought without a service provider subscribtion, so I have no clue where to find the right SBF. I have no objection against having blur on the phone.
Can anyone help?
hi guys!!
i've tried to install miui on my defy+ 2.3.6.. like i read on this thread i modified the .zip file changing the boot.img and devtree with the original one.
but mt defy can't boot.. stuck at motorola logo..
what can i do?? does anyone managed to install miui on a defy+ 2.3.6?
now i'm using cyanogen and it works fine, but i prefer miui
thanks!!

I don't think MIUI work on 2.3.6. you need CM7.2, or maybe some latest nightly version of MIUI

thanks for your reply! indeed i'm using cm 7.2.. it works pretty well, except some delays! never heard about miui nightly! i did a research on google but i couldn't find anything.. any idea??
thanks again!
hi again!
i was thinking.. you said miui shouldn't work on 2.3.6 and i guess you are right! so if i do the same thing i did (change the boot and devtree file in the latest miui.zip that is 2.3.7 if i'm not wrong) but using files from android 2.3.7?
maybe i try to explain myself better..
i make a nandroid backup of my cm 7.s2 which is 2.3.7.
then i change the files boot and devtree from cm 7.2 to the latest miui.
should it work? what do you think?
thanks again
Hi, folks! *GREAT NEWS!*
Some guys over at the devs section on the thread below have found a froyo sbf with bootloader 6 (the same as the defy 2.3.6 sbf)!!! This means we can use it to downgrade to froyo and install MIUI over it!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731
I haven't tried it yet, but will flash later today or tomorrow. You should read through some of the posts and decide for yourselves if you want to try or not.
All the best!

Hi guys
Before I explain I'd like to say that yes, I have read other threads on similar topics, although none seem to have the same symptoms as me...
This week I bought a software-bricked Defy on eBay with the hopes of fixing it and giving it to a friend. I first tried flashing an old Eclair SBF to no avail (only switched on to bootloader) and thought that it could be failing due to it being on a newer firmware. So then I tried Froyo, and when that didn't work either (bootloops like when I received the phone) I thought my last resort was a CG 5 SBF, so I went for the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 build. This seems to get further into the booting process, with the MotoBLUR animation appearing but I get a BP Panic - 0x00080010 above the animation before the phone switches off. Thinking I had nothing to lose I tried a Gingerbread ROM, but that just bootlooped too so I went back to 97.21.51. I realise I've probably painted myself into a corner by flashing these
I'm all out of ideas with how to get the phone any further and have searched for the BP panic to no avail. I can get into stock recovery and bootloader, although the recovery seems to have issues with accessing the cache sometimes.
Thanks for reading
The same panic have y for the last 2 weeks, after flashing hangs in bootloader (red logo and no animation), after other flash hangs on a animated red logo and thats where you must give it time 3 or 4 min. wating, when its dont works you can try to pul out battery and do it in again while you hold the start and vol. down button, then in recovery menu wipe Dalvik cache and wipe cahe. Maby it works then, when not you can try like me to go again tho recovery and there restore stockrom, thats the way ym getting my defy work again. There are many ways to get it back to work again and it cost me 2 weeks after flashing maby 15 diverend roms to get it works and even than when it works, 2 days work whit rooting it and get 3G alive. So when you think its dead, maby RSDlite can bring it back to live, just like here.
Now my Defy MB525 working like a Defy 526 on Gingerbread.
So don't give up, when you can see whit RSDlite the phoon, it must be possible to get it work, only problem here was on a moment when the battery was empty, but here on XDA you can find the megayver method (charging on a ohter cell like a duo) or what y have don, get my old nokia loader (5V) and whit 2 wires hangs on the battery power it up to 4.1 V, succes.
Thanks, although I was just getting repeated boot loops rather than it hanging on the logo... And that wasn't animated either. How did you manage to restore the stock ROM through the recovery? Did you have a flashable zip? Please bear in mind that I did not get a custom recovery installed
I'll look out for the low battery problem. Thanks for your advice

Thanks, although I'm pretty sure I did wipe cache and data... and I definitely did (several times ) after flashing Gingerbread. I feel like whatever is preventing Froyo and Gingerbread from booting is the same thing as what is giving me the BP panic on the CG 5 Eclair ROM.
I would suspect a hardware issue here.w
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
I think it might be too It's a shame because I can enter recovery and bootloader okay, and the seller said it broke during a failed software update so I thought it would be a simple matter of reflashing an SBF.
what is bp panic?
what happens when it is booting?
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
When I try to boot the CG 5 Eclair I get past the static Motorola logo (hence further than any other build) but the MotoBLUR animation is stuttery, with a BP panic at the top (see picture). This goes on for quite a while, then the phone switches off and this loops.
Ok if occurred during a software update, find out which he was installing and try that one. May also be worth trying motoupdate.
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
I might try that, but won't it be useless now that I've flashed CG 5? I'll look into MotoUpdate
Is the general consensus that this is an unfixable hardware issue, then?
Apolgoies if you've already tried this, but I had a Defy which would do the same, either stuck on M logo or error in bootloader.
Each time I just plugged it into PC / USB at bootloader screen, and used RSD Lite to try another ROM. Eventually I found one which worked. I think I tried 5 before finding one which didn't cause any problems.
My defy was a ME525+ and the ROM which finally worked was "DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132_BLUR"
So, if you haven't already, I'd just suggest try a few more ROMS, flashed from Bootloader / RSD Lite.
Hope it helps somehow
need help! urgent! i was using cm 7.2 lastest maniacs and then made a wipe data because i wanted to go back to froyo, but when i restared the phone cm7 was still there so i decided to flash .sbf the nordic one (the one that i installed when i changed from Android 2.1 to Android 2.2) .. it started good but when it shows "Please Manually Power Up This Phone" Excecuted 100% In Process, the defy screen is just looping in Android boot, it shows the motorola logo then the android boot but it get stuck in there, i removed battery and change it but did not work and the phone just get stuck in Android boot. what can i do?

Thanks men... but i got an answer that helped me out from twa_priv
"You need to wipe in Stock (Motorola) recovery, which is always there.
Shutdown the phone and then:
power + vol down
then push volume up and down at the same time"
at first there is just an android with a triangle but then you should do the vol up and down at the same time and there will be a stock motorola recovery!
thanks for everyone that helped me out with this stuff!
i am noob and dont know what happened to my defy as i rooted and put CM7 on it and have been using it for last 6 months but today when i restarted my defy it got stuck at google logo.. and when i try to go into custom recovery it only shows official recovery.. dont know what to do.. Pl help as little help would be really appreciated..
Edit: Never Mind got it.. Used RSD lite to restore it..

Did you flash the correct sbf?
How long are you stuck at the Motorola logo? Give a bit more information =P
It's most likely not bricked as it's almost impossible to brick the defy.. (I've never heard of it)

Red or Green Lens? Defy or Defy+?
If Red Lens then you can use Defy or Defy+ build straight from Froyo after installing 2nd init.
If Red Lens Defy with Defy+ build, you will need a battery fix
If Red Lens Defy with Defy build, nothing else needs to be installed
If Green Lens Defy, you can only use Defy build. Nothing else needs to be installed.
If Defy+ You can only use defy build, nothing else needs to be installed.

I believe that little android guy is the stock recovery. From what I remember you hold both volume buttons and it takes you into stock recovery.
Unfortunately, you will no longer have 2nd init installed, which allows for CWM recovery, so you can't flash a zip from there.
How long does it stay stuck on the blur logo? Maybe you're just not waiting long enough? (Stupid question I know, but some people complain after 2 minutes, the first boot can take a long time!)
Try looking at This thread and see if the link which is in this post will work to download the Taiwanese SBF. For me it doesn't seem to load
Edit: - Oh the Taiwanese SBF did eventually download. Took about 5 minutes with the tab open loading. I've uploaded it to my Dropbox so you can download from there... should be a bit faster!

Thanks for helping me out....
The motorola logo stays around for 20 seconds after with the Motorola boot animation starts.....
So i left my defy on for around 20 mins and nothing is happening its still playing the boot animation. !!
I havent yet downloaded the sbf link you have given me as i am at work now and will be able to do that only when i reach home.
Another thing i have noticed is that i am able to charge my defy....that means the rom is present and hopefully working !!
What say....???
Have you done Factory Reset????
1- turn off your phone (take the battery out and then put it back in)
2- press and HOLD the volume DOWN button + power button
3- Motorola logo appears first, then after a few seconds an 'android ROBOT logo' appears
4- press volume UP and DOWN buttons at once, quickly
5- from the menu choose 'factory reset/wipe-format data'
6- then do 'wipe cache'
7- then do a reboot
see if it helps and you are able to start the phone normally
Euro your awesome!!

Accepted :highfive:
Guys I have the same problem.
Phone was upgraded from Froyo to CM7 and took it fine. Played for a while in CM7 but decided to upgrade to CM10.
Followed the steps from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
flashed foryo Kernel
Flashed CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip
Flashed Google apps
Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik
Phone boots but gets stuck at Motorola logo and after blue and green light it loops back again to the same sequence.
It's a Defy with green lens and it had stock T-Mobile Froyo (rooted) before flash to CM7.
I'm now back to CM7 as CM10 didn't want to work.
sorry didnt get you

hey buddy...m sorry i didnt quite get you....
As per my understanding i believe your phone is working fine with CM7 installed and you want to install CM10 on your defy !!
am i correct !!
if you then let me make it clear that the latest CM10 build used a custom kernel made by quarx himself....it is not running a froyo or gb kernel...
so here is what you need to do....
1. simply factory reset your phone...clear cache and dalvik...
2. now flash the latest CM10 build
3. again...clear cache and dalvik...
4. and now let defy boot....first boot may take a longer time....
hope this works for u...if it does not...let me know...will b glad to help u...
Thanks

Yes, you are correct. the phone is working fine with CM7.
Factory reset, you mean from boot menu or the hard factory reset with holding volume keys (procedure posted above in this thread)?
The first time I actually tried, I did flash of CM10 without the prior kernel flash and it didn't work either.
so do I need any kernel flash or do I just flash it with CM10 and it should work?
I'll try again later today or tomorrow.
Thanks

Lots of us who had bootloops trying to flash CM10 24/09 with a BL5 base SBF solved the problem by flashing a BL6 base Froyo SBF.
But try a factory reset and flashing your stock T-Mobile Froyo first.
If your stock doesn't flash properly then it means you have inadvertently flashed something which updated your BL version to BL5.
I flashed the JDGC_U6.2.13.0 SBF which is BL6 and then I was fine.
Don't use this ROM though, just use it as a stepping-stone to install CM10.

Have you done Factory Reset????
1- turn off your phone (take the battery out and then put it back in)
2- press and HOLD the volume DOWN button + power button
3- Motorola logo appears first, then after a few seconds an 'android ROBOT logo' appears
4- press volume UP and DOWN buttons at once, quickly
5- from the menu choose 'factory reset/wipe-format data'
6- then do 'wipe cache'
7- then do a reboot
see if it helps and you are able to start the phone normally
