now i cant even do that, no matter what i press it takes me to the boot loader

Flash the full again. If it fails, pop out the battery and flash the full again. It may tell you code corrupt, but it will allow you to flash it. It may also take 2-3 tries. I had the same issue flashing back, but it will take

this seems to be the same issue I'm having.. i just updated to GB yesterday and rooted my phone.. i am super novist at this so i have had a few issues the last couple days but anyway, my bootloader say 30.04 so i grabbed the SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf tried to flash using RSD lite and then my phone now shows the Red "M" logo... I'm kinda worried i downloaded the "Happy Holidays".sbf hoping that would work instead but RSD lite doesn't even allow me to start with that program.. so i saw earlier on this thread there was a different file to use.. i'm downloading that now but ultimately i would really like to get the Miui Rom working.. well actually ANY rom would be cool if someone see's this before i try to flash that file let me know otherwise I'll just re post my results.

follow this guide http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?399-UPDATED-GUIDE-LINKS-DX-SBF-s

I followed your advice to the website and from there i found this link http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-sbf/23638-linux-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html It is a walk through on how to boot using linux and flashing your phone, it worked like a charm even after a few other attempts at using RSD lite that was the only method that worked i would highly recommend someone to use this method

[Q] Defy doesn't boot

Hi all,
i had installed cyanogen mod on my defy and all was perfect.
After that i tried to install defy_recovery-1218-0326-signed.apk and it says that was installed successfully.
I tried to boot in recovery mode and when i power up the phone it stays on the initial logo forever (cyanogen mod 7..).
I tried to flash my version founded here sbf.droid-developers org but it make the same things on boot...
What should I do?
Please help me, i bought that phone yesterday!

did u do a whipe cache and wipe data ?

yeah, i tried it now, i didn't know this method and it works...
But sorry man, what version should i install? Now I have 2.3.6 (i don't know why, it's the only version that work that i tried) but i would like to install Cyanogen Mod V7...
Can you explain me what should i do? Thank you very mutch!

So you flashed and 2.3.6 sbf? Do you have a Defy+ or a normal defy?
If you have a normal defy and you have a green lense, you can't use your camera anymore (kernel limitation) even not on CM.
To install CM7, download a Defy+ nightly (even if you have a normal defy, cause you are on defy+ kernal) form here: http://www.defy-cm.net/
You must not use defy_recovery-1218-0326-signed.apk any more.
Use 2nd init form: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212
When you have installed 2nd init: reboot, wait for blue led, press volume up,go to custom recovery, install the zip downloaded earlier.

But to install 2ndInit i have to get the root permission, how can i do it? With oneClick it doesn't work....
Yes I have the Defy MB525...
EDIT:
yeah, i get root permission and i installed 2ndinit but what should i do to get into recovery mode? I don't understand
RE-EDIT: I had to press power down button, not up...

I did the same mistake on my Moto defy ... did you get it to boot back up and if so how ? Ty to whom ever helps

Sorry bro I don't back up my phone much cause I don't put much stuff on it ... something wrong with ur Vision ?
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium

Yeah it doesn't get past the HTC screen when I try to boot it, I've tried everything, it unrooted and stock right now. I can't use adb but I can use fastboot, I've tried the T-Mobile updates and ruu but nothing helps. I don't know what else to try.

They may have been blown! Did you instal any custom ROM? Did you try doing a full SBF flash?

I didn't install any ROM.
I didn't try to do a full SBF flash neither. How I can do it?

You can find it here. But be careful what you flash.. Read the threads associated with the SBFs and flash only a BL5 Froyo SBF(assuming you have Froyo in your phone) !! You will know the version when you read each individual thread..

RSD lite wont detect my phone.

Hello... I am using defy red lens. Yesterday I was flashing a new ROM but that ROM stuck in a boot logo.
I go to the stable recovery and and wipe everything but that didn't help. So I tried to flash it by RSD Lite but the problem is windows doesn't detect my phone. It says the device is malfunction.
Actually this problem always happens in the previous ROM which I was using(Mokee OS revised) and I searched through internet and find that this problem arises because I use defy+ build and flash GB Kernel. That's why I decided to change the ROM.
But now I am stuck in the boot menu. All I can do is 1. Access bootloader 2.Access stable recovery.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem? sorry for my english.

I cant go to recovery. All I can see that the boot logo. I can access BootLoader and stock recovery. And stock recovery has no option of ' Install from SD card'. What can I do now.

Make sure you have latest drivers and rsdlite. Run rsdlite with administrator privileges. Try another computer if it still doesn't work. Make sure you are in bootloader mode.
You can also try compatibility mode.

Yes you can root with framaroot. And there is a retail asian SBF which i posted in another thread.
One advice for you - read, read, read before you do anything. You seem to have misunderstood some facts. Read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982

I've put the link for retail asian Defy+ on another thread:laugh:, how many times do i have to tell you this?
Here are the steps for rooting-
1. Take a backup of all your apps and data.
2. Download Framaroot 1.6.0 from the thread (don't forget to thank the dev) and download 2ndinit - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212.
3. Copy both apk files to your sd card.
4. Enable USB debugging and unknown sources in settings-->applications.
5. Open file manager and install and open the app.
6. Root.
7. Then install the 2ndinit apk.
8. Reboot, and when the LED becomes blue, immediately press the volume down button.
9. Then a screen will appear. Now you can choose an option by pressing volume button and go up/down by pressing volume up/down.
10. Choose recovery, then choose stable/custom recovery (whichever is there).
11. Choose backup and then choose backup all.
12. Be patient while it does the job, DO NOT TAKE OUT THE BATTERY IF YOU THINK IT IS STUCK.
13. Then the options screen will come back.
14. Now you can install custom ROMs, PM me if you need more help.

Don't stress yourself so much. Grab a fixed sbf of quarx cm 10.2 or what custom sbf you like. That's simple for you
