Are you able to go to stock recovery? If yes, did you do a data/cache wipeafter flashing full SBF?!
Most imp: Please ensure you flash the correct SBF!

Just do hard reset. It will be OK.
flash the sbf for your bootloader

I just suggest what already was told, power off after power on and the led show blue press volume down, go to recovery, latest/stable and wipe cache then advanced and wipe dalvik cache, reboot
if does not help full wipe and try to flash a ROM again (after you installed to your SD card of course)

helloo everyone!
basically what i did was backed up my current stock froyo rom, and then followed the steps for the "deblurred gingerbread rom" on how to flash it, i then went to reboot my phone.and got stuck on the M logo have pulled the battery several times im lost at what to do so please anyone help? i would be very grateful
you should press volume-down + camera key both, and poweron your phone to enter bootloader to flash the fixedsbf.
it will not automatically enter to the bootloader.
how do i go about flashing the fixed sbf?
i put my phone into bootloader and opened rsd lite and my phone wasnt recognised?
what am i meant to do
All the information is findable on this forum!
First; the howto flash SBF: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032372
Second; the SBF file you need to flash: http://www.multiupload.com/KL6LSHIRCS
So with that howto you need to flash the SBF provided in this post. After that it'll work.
when i plug my phone into the computer in bootloadermode and find the sbf file in rsd and press start, nothing happens? i have motorola driver installed?
Can you post a screenshot of RSD Lite with your phone connected and the SBF selected?
Also try to reboot and try again.
i was playing around with different things and managed to get my phone mounted to rsd the phone has booted! i did a full data wipe and cache wipe and im just restoring my apps back with titanium backup, if i wanted to have all the blur services, would i now be able to restore the nand backup of the other gingerbread rom? or would i have to go through the whole process again?
If you want the Blur services now you just need to flash the MS2Ginger Nandroid in CWM.
...and the other way around offcourse. hf!
hello,
is it possible to switch from cm7.1-nightly to ms2ginger easily?
(cm7.1 is android v. 2.3.7 with kernel 2.32.9)
regards
Yes you can do that easily. The ms2Ginger thread has enough information on how to do that. I have switched twice from Cm7 to ms2g and vice versa.
In a nut shell just restore the manseoid back up of ms2g system, data, boot , dev tree and recovery. Before you do this just take nandroid backup of your current cm 7, which can be useful to switch back at later time if needed.

CM7.2 is for Defy+ which uses GB kernel.
You can either flash CM7 kernel if it works, otherwise go to advance restore and restore boot and devtree from MS2 nandroid.

I am searching for the instructions too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1468867&page=2
Will work the ms2ginger with cg version 6?
Anyone?
I had managed to get working, with instruction in the ms2ginger topic
To begin:
Put the Nandroid backup folder MS2Ginger on the SDCard in this folder: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup
Root your DEFY and Install BOOTMENU - CWM (2ndInit-Installer 2.0.apk - install 1.0.7) or use this SndInitDefy_2.0.apk
REBOOT
run 2nd-init (voldown on blue LED)
wipe data and cache in "Stable/Custom - Recovery"
Go to "Recovery"
Go to "Latest Recovery"
Go to "Backup and Restore"
Go to "Restore" (system+data)
reboot.
Booting up can take a while, max is about 10 minutes.
THEN(if you want to try also the 3.0)
wipe data/cache/dalvik; Do an advanced recovery and only restore system and data from 3.0NG.
Hi, i have defy+ (mb526)

I want to flash CM 7.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445259) but after flash rom, I stuck on boot logo, i wait 30minut, reboot, wait, reboot... but without succes.
You must delete the user data of your previous rom first. Go to CWM Recovery and choose 'wipe data/factory reset'. This will remove all your user data (apps, app data, settings etc.) so you should have a backup if you want to keep the data!
i try this, but without succes. I'am still on boot logo (google) :-(
Dobre den,
There is something wrong in your phone setting : the kernel you mention in your first post (2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8) is a Froyo kernel and your phone (MB526) has a GB bootloader who only accept GB kernel...
So I think the best for you is to flash a full GB SBF via RSDLite before flashing the CM 7.2 Defy+.
Nashle...;-)
This has happened to me... A LOT. the way i fixed it was to redownload CM7 from the pc, because something went wrong the first time.

Your phone is a Defy or a Defy+ ? because I'm not sure you help a lot with this kind of answers.
Thanx, after flash ful SBF GB via RSDlite, everything is OK
I have q defy, however the filestructure is almost exactly the same and a fresh install of anything is the key (usually) to fix any problem... therefore I tend to ask them to do that before anything else

stuck on bootlogo
i have defy+ (stock 2.3.6 - 4.5.1-134_DFP-1321)
rooted & flashed Quarx's 3 Mach ICS CM9 nightly..
i tried to update that but i guess i flashed some wrong zip in recovery & phone showed some bootloader error..
so i flashed full sbf via RSDlite to return to my stock rom..after flashing is complete, rsdlite reboots my phone, phone is stuck on motorola bootlogo & rsdlite shows "please manually powerup this phone"..still connected to usb..even when i disconnect phone from usb, phone keeps rebooting & stuck on bootlogo..
update
clearing data/cache in stock recovery solved the problem..back on CM9
Hi!
I have a Defy+ and I flashed a SBF with RSD Lite. After that I tried power on the phone, but it doesn't worked... only if I plug in the USB cabel (not the power cabel) then the white led light. I flashed some other SBF, but they are not worked.
Have you any idea?
Thanks
Which sbf are u trying to flash, and which sbf u came from ?
First I flashed this SBF ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486731 ) (I forgat to wipe cache and data), after that some 4.5.3 and 4.5.1 SBF... And I dont know what was my original rom...
Same problem happened with me I m using defy mb525 and now I just flash with Motorola blur sbf...and my Phone working but this is old version and I m trying to update it but I can't find any other working rom or sbf.

Since you are not sure about your previous ROM I suggest flash a 2.3.6 sbf. You can find them here:

Once you are done with flashing, boot to Android stock recovery and wipe data/cache. PM me if you want a SBF, I will give you the link
Hi all
I use to run cm-7.2 Jordan without any issues. Decided however to upgrade and test cm10 but since I didn't find it stable enough I decided to downgrade back to 7.2. The flash succeed without issues but when I reboot I get stuck with the Google logo and the os never boot up.
I tried to go through cm.7.1 but no luck there, same issue.
Any clue how i can resolve this?

That's good sorry forget to say you need to hold VOL dwn& Vol Up at the same time then wipe all...
Good luck
Exactly the same problem here, cannot downgrade to CM7.
Any good news?
Flash official froyo (I used ver 2.2.2)sbf via rsdlite. Root it using superoneclick and install 2init bootmenu 2.0. In custom recovery do full factory wipe follow with restore your nandroid 7.2 if you have them. If it booting hang at start screen, flash any froyo fixed sbf that contain the froyo kernel(optional). This way all your previous user data will still be intact.

So the recovery won't work and will have to start with SBF. Will wait until I have the computer environment to do so.
Thanks!

Wipe all from stock recovery that's you needed to do btw before installing cm7.... Sbf is not needed.
Go to stock recovery and wipe all your ROM should boot...
Let's Go ^_^

Factory reset from stock bootmenu again. If it still hangs, flash sbf again with another factory reset afterwards just to be safe. BTW, I've had times where 3+ sbf flashes with factory resets were needed to get the phone to boot again.
One problem you might be having is if you formatted /data and /cache to ext4. Maybe it was just me, but I had to reinstall CM10, change back to ext3, flash sbf, then install CM7. Changing to ext3 and flashing CM7 didn't work -- same problem you're having. I wasn't sure if ext4 was the problem so I made sure I changed back to ext3 before sbf flashing. I'm not sure if the sbf reformats the partitions or just wipes them like a factory reset. If you've already flashed the sbf, then you can't install a CM10 rom to change back to ext3... Worse come to worse, you maybe able to install one of the custom sbf's with CM10 custom kernel preinstalled, change to ext3, flash official sbf, factory reset, then install CM7. I haven't looked into them because I make my own custom sbf's .
Bravo users are having this exact problem and my solution is to ensure that /data and /cache are ext3, flash the sbf and start from scratch -- the only guaranteed way I know of to fix this problem. Another Bravo user had the same problem and managed to fix it by changing some /data permissions over adb -- the user didn't specify the exact things done so I'm waiting on a reply with more details.

Okey good advice.
Here is where I am at now. I have flashed a number of different SFBs and I end up with the same situation every time. RSDLIte finish the process nicely but the phone get stuck with the flashing M. When I reboot manually I get passed the M and to the Android text/logo and there I get stuck.
I get advice to do a factory reset but how do I do that. The CW bootloader is gone and I can't get to the original boot loader either. I hit volume down and power, get to the triangle screen where I am supposed to hit the right bottom corner but nothing happens.
So I cant boot the phone to get into a menu where I can change to ext3 if this is a problem.
Please help, how can I get further?
Since I have no luck restoring stock rom I now have the following plan.
Install ClockWorkMod recovery with ADB.
Using recovery to do a factory reset and clear cache.
Flash a CM10 ROM (or any rom that will successfully boot up my phone).
From that start over to downgrade to CM9 to find a stable ROM.
The question I have now is if I will be able to use ADB with the USB connection mode I get from the bootloader (volume up+pwr button)? Or does ADB actually require that I can boot my phone and go into some other USB mode such as UMS or MTP.
Second question. Playing with restoring stock ROM i run out of battery and now my defy wont charge (only see a big question mark when loading). Seems like I get no power when USB is connected so is there a way for me to charge the battery or do I need to find another happy camper in town with a working defy that can power up my battery?

In froyo, you should hit vol up/down together to enter stock recovery.
If you have your cm7 nandroid or your gingerbread nandroid 2.3.6. In,custom recovery cm10, restore them. Your phone would not boot but you have your cm7 or gingerbread cwm by then, that you could format cache and total wipe back to ext.3 in the recovery menu, format/wipe follow with another nandroid restore and flash fix sbf from rsdlite.
But then the best way is go back totally clean by flashing stock froyo and root, install 2init with bootmenu 2.0. Then total wipe in recovery follow with restore your cm7 or gingerbread nandroids and flash the corresponding fix sbf via rsdlite.
Charging dead rom defy would need the MacGyver trick then. But some say if you leave it connected overnight in pc usb would charged it somehow but slow..
On 2nd thought.. you need to tell us yoyr defy model...green lense, red lense or the defy plus?? These models has their own characteristics in term of play around in cwm and way of flashing..

Thanks for very informative reply. I have a Defy 525 with red lens.
It's working.
I found a friend blessed with a defy and used that to charge the battery, tried to charge it over night with USB but it didn't work.
I then followed the steps from the last post and managed to flash a stock rom and then from there I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick, installed 2ndInit with ADB (guess you could use an apk installer from the phone as well ). I booted into recovery and flashed 7.2.0 Jordan from CM and now I am where I started a few weeks back.
Thank you all for your help.
That was the low battery problem.......
Since i had this i allways look for a full battery
If you think your defy is dead , a look for a empty battery won't be mad
Could anybody took a reminder info into beginners guide
