[Q] Totaly Bricked Motorola Defy - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
i wonder if anyone could help me please.
i have totaly bricked my defy.
it's the uk version,all i'm getting is the bright white light showing when i connect to pc using the usb connecter.I am using RSD Lite ver5.6 and it detects the phone ok and goes through the process of installing the sbf file but when it finishes and says Pass the phone screen stays blank. i am using Windows 7 and also using the JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA028.0R_USAJORDANRTGB_P026_A007_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.
Could someone out there please help me.
Its no longer bricked. Iv`e managed to unbrick it using a different sbf. Working like a dream again.

Are you trying to downgrade to 2.21? Did you have a higher version installed though sbf before?

[HELP] Stucked in bootloader mode, code corrupt, enable to flash [HELP]

Hello everyone!
I wanted to flash my milestone 2 with the 2.3.4 sbf file but during the process, an error occured and now, my phone is booting by himself in bootloader mode. I've got this message telling me that the code is corrupted and when i try to flash it using RSD lite, the phone is detected but the process fails every time.
I've looked a bit around on google and the only solution that i found is to boot in OpenRecovery but i can't boot with anything else than Bootloader...
If you have any ideas, i'll be happy to read them. =)
You should probably flash/reflash a Milestone 2 specific SBF file.

I managed to flash my phone with a 2.2 SBF file but at the end of the process, RSD lite send a message telling me to reboot it manualy. The thing is that now, i can't even turn it on and it's not recognised anymore by my computer...

It sounds like the battery got too low. Try using a different battery.

or by a $5 battery charger from amazon
The battery won't charge but the thing is that just before flashing with the 2.3.4, i had about 50% battery so technicaly, i should have some. I'll try with another battery, i hope it will work. =)

[Q] Motorola Defy Will Not Boot

I flashed a Defy+ rom (2.3.4) on my Defy (MB525), and it worked great. GPS and location finding, however, didn't work. My idea was to flash back to the stock 2.2.1 and restart to get upgraded to a more stable custom Gingerbread rom. The original issue in doing so was that the flash (WajkIUI) was for the MB 526. I was finally able to flash by changing the USB drivers to the MB526 drivers. Much to my dismay, flashing the stock USA TMobile Froyo through RSD Lite (versions 4.6, 4.9, 5.0, 5.3, 5.6) did not work. It will flash, then note it as a "PASS," then the screen on the phone shuts off. I even tried flashing back to the factory stock 2.1 using the same, but to no avail. My phone currently will not turn on at all, though retains the white LED after the power button is pressed if plugged into my PC. I have tried pulling the battery for a few minutes and using the bootloader, but it will not turn on unless connected through the PC. I noticed similar issues in the following threads, and tried the suggested solutions:

was the battery 80% or more when you started the flashing process? I once flashed my defy525 with 30% and didnt even boot (and it doesnt charge with the charger), i had to do a usb-revive charge to the battery then the flashing process completed.

hi i have the same problem ; i hd flash my defy with android 2.3.5 and after that i was flashed with 2.2.1 so in the RSD flash he does not boot no recovery no boot loader but whin i conect it with rsd flash he rite s flash simply
All of you guys had the same problem. You tried to downgrade to a lower BL, which is not possible (try using fixed SBF method). You should understand that once you flash GB, it's not possible to downgrade to Froyo.

Droid Pro not being picked up by RSD Lite

I've read just about every thread and no luck. I updated to a CM port by vanillaLVL, and forgot to back up.
I want to use an sbf to go back to 2.3.3 so I can start fresh with a better rom because his rom doesnt have good in call volume and messes up my bluetooth.
So far every thread about fixing RSD Lite will not work for me.
RSD Lite will not recognize my Droid pro, whether I use Bootloader, CWM, or Usb Debugging mode while phone is on. I have tried looking at every fix, but nothing works. Any tips on how to fix RSD Lite, or how to fix my phone to get it back to stock? I tried using update.zips but I always get an error in the build.prop stopping the update.

When i BSF mine i used version 5.6, do you have Moto drivers installed? also just in case make sure you are using a 32 bits version of Windows
I think my windows is 32 bit, and I dled the newest Motorola drivers from the site, but still doesn't work :/ my phone can't access stock recovery either, so might that be causing the issue?

Hey dude... Okay to start off ill tell you what you need... you need to download the base drivers from motorola and have a 32 bit windows computer... What you want to do from there is uninstall your previous drivers... reboot your pc then install them... reboot your pc... now comes the tricky part... take your droid and hold down the volume keys and the button on the right side of your phone and while holding all thoes down hold the power down too .. wait about 30 secs or till the lcd slightly lites up and let go a simple menu should pop up on your phone... now plug in your phone and wait for 10 min if nothing shows up unplug it and plug it in with a different cord and if nothing pops up in 5 min open rsd lite and your phone should show up... now browse to your .sbf or your .sbf.zip and start the flashing process (just click start)..... tell me if this works please!!!

Hate to sound amateur but sometimes its just the specific computer. I bricked my xprt at my friends house and tried to sbf it with his 32 win 7 laptop and the drivers kept failing.

Defy+ black screen WHITE led

Hello guys,
my friend gave me his defy+. I successfully rooted+flashed a new JB rom on it. He was experimenting something, he started to flash another rom on it, and now the device wont even boot. It does nothing, only it shows a white led when it is connected to the PC. The RSD lite recognizes the device.
Is there any solution to fix this or it should fly in the trash?
edit:
I flashed this rom
DEFYPLUS_U3_4_5_1_134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed
now the device starts, gets to the Motorola red logo, but then it goes to a black screen, where are these informations.
Bootloader 9.10
Err 46,69,35,00,27
battery OK
Transfer mode USB
Follow this procedure make it work

Brick motorola deft mb525

Hi everybody, recently decided to fix up my old motorola defy. Got it up and running with a new housing, lcd and battery. Decided to flash a custom rom, guess what, phone got bricked.
I'm currently stuck with the motorola log in an infinite loop so i cant use the volume down button to restore via my back up. Tired restore in bootloader mode using rsdlite following the steps from here. But Some how rsd lite doesn't detect the phone. Tried most versions and have installed the drivers repeated but nothing works.
Anybody have any good suggestions as to what i should do? dont really wanna use it as a paper weight. Thanks for reading.
Bump!
