I think I got the answer for you......
Use below mentioned steps and share the outcome:
1. Download the compressed SBF and extract using any software like 7zip or something - http://www.mediafire.com/?s3uc8cb782w1oue
[Note: Do not use any download manager while downloading.]
2. Use RSD Lite to flash the phone with the SBF file;
3. After flashing let the phone boot up and hopefully it will resolve the issue.
However if the phone is still in boot loops then try entering Stock recovery and wipe data/format and wipe cache also.
Please use the above steps and share the outcome.
ok i will download it and try it, but what i think is that, T Mobile is creating problem and i read some where there is only one SBF which work for T Mobile. Dont know for USA or UK. Mine cell is from UK.
Hopefully the link which you send helps me..
But the link you send for sbf is not down gradable. Can it create more problem for me if i install it and same black screen problem appears. And not rootable i think so how would i root it and move to custom rom,

I recommend DON'T flash that SBF! Why? : Its a chinese and has the potential to fry your LED! And since it is not downgradable and rootable you may get stuck!(See this. From what I have seen in few threads there is a big chance your battery is dead and not charged!!
okay, if battery is dead why RSD connect it and every time status passed message appears.
PLz tell me what to do

I understand your concern and I appreciate your comment however, I would like to point this out that this firmware is for "India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam" and its safe to flash I have flashed it multiple times and its Rootable and even my flash is healthy.
You may visit this link and Control+F "JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1":
http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
The chinese firmware which is suspicious of burning flash is "China - JDGC_U6_0.26.0" [Correct me if I'm wrong.]

You may use this firmware or any different firmware from this link : http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
The ROM which I have given you link is Rootable however not down-gradable.
You may refer this extract from All-in-one-Guide-for-Defy
SBFs
SBF is how Motorola packs all the information to be Flashed on your phone. Inside this package are a lot of other files, each of these files named with CGXX where XX is a number.
So when you Flash a Full SBF, it takes the phone memory, format it, create the partitions and then copy the information inside these partitions. Each partition corresponds to a CGXX file. Here is where the eFuse thing kicks in.
There are a couple of CG files containing the version number of the Android you are flashing. So let’s say you are on Éclair Stock, first version, no updates no nothing. This version has a Version 1 number. When the phone gets updated, this version changes to Version 2 for example.
Each Android version has each own ID, once you go up, you CAN NOT go back, and this version is in CG31 AND CG39 files inside the SBF.
FIXED SBFs
Is a modified SBF without the CG31 and CG39 files, thus allowing to move between Android Versions freely.
Since the Fixed SBF creates all partitions but /System (CG39) and CDT (CG31), we need to copy System data using a Nandroid Backup or the phone will probably not work using the existing /System.
Nandroid Backup
This is just a .zip file flasheable with a Custom Recovery, this will Delete/Copy all the files in the /System and other partitions (depending on the Nandroid) without formatting or remaking the partition thus not modifying the system layout, eFuse or stuff; this is almost harmless, meaning you CANT brick your phone doing it, though you can make Android not boot and a new SBF or Nandroid would need to be installed.
CG Versions
With that explained let’s get to business with versions:
CG Version 2: SBF 2.21 / 2.34 / Chinese (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) (Defy)
CG Version 5: SBF 4.5.0 / 4.5.1 (Gingerbread) (Defy)
CG Version 6: SBF 4.5.1 (Gingerbread, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
CG Version 7: SBF 4.5.1 (Latests Gingerbreads, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
ATTENTION: This CG 7 Version is NOT rooteable. You wont be able to flash a lower version ROM nor Root to use CWM.
If you try to flash a lower ID version than the one already on your phone, you will just get a Black screen after booting or a screen telling you to flash an official rom.
So, with this in mind, you can now hop between Android versions without screwing up your phone.
If you have an Éclair Defy and would like to keep the ability to downgrade to it, you should ONLY install FIXED SBFs of the Android Version you want to install, and then use the corresponding Nandroid Backup for that Fixed SBF.
Official SBFs
Here is a list of all the OFFICIAL SBFs, meaning they come with ALL CGs, these SBFs put your phone like Motorola sold it to you, just need to keep in mind that going UP in versions with FULL SBFS <WONT> I repeat, <WONT> allow you to go back to an older version.
Knowing this you should be able to test every single Android version out there and being able to go to Stock without issues. Just be sure to understand how CG versioning works and you should be fine.

The only thing which is important here will be to use a Froyo or newer version SBF.
Thanks Rajneeshgadge17

thanks you for your precious time.....
Defy is seems okay now and will tell you if i found any bug in this JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1.
I think i flashed every time with eclair and that was the main problem. First time flashed with froyo and black screen gone.
Thanks again and plz tell to root this rom is as easy like what i did with orignal froyo.
I did it with Super one click and than use 2ndint and moved to custom rom.
plz tell should i follow all those steps for rooting and for custom rom, or there is something new to be done for this flashed Rom.

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------
One important thing for your information is the reason behind those black screens was that you must have flashed Froyo SBF before; which was not down-gradable and now at this point you were trying Éclair which resulted in this issue.
So, the Downgradibility of your previous flashed SBF was causing this issue.
Now, as you have flashed this Froyo SBF; so, now onward in case you need to flash you phone you need to use SBF which should be Froyo or newer and must have “3.4.3” or later Build Numbers.
Hope this helps someone who needs this information.
okay
one bug found, market is still not updated to play store, and when i try to download it says download paused . i cleared both data and cache of market but still not downloading and stuck at paused.

Lol 2GB internal memory occupied
Yesterday night I flashed with MotoGinger III for a change... so far so good. However, AutoWifi fix is resetting my wifi pwd every 15 mins or so ..
Occupied :/ now how to free that, miui occupied or rom flash occupied it. Internal storage is now just 15 mb left. How to use this defy now
But I used miui before flash, at that time I haven't experienced any low storage problem.

Hey i will try to be as precise as possible. I'm posting in this section because in the general section the help isn't as effective as here.
Here is my problem:
A few days ago i flashed GB MIUI on my Milestone 2 everything worked perfectly and i used the phone a whole day. That night i've put the phone to charge and went to bed. Il the morning when i push the power button the phone didn't boot. I was stuck at the first M bootscreen (Red at the time).
I wasn't able to do anything no recovery the phone didn't seem to be charging so i decided to flash Stock FR SBF (One i used many times)
Once completed i let the phone tying to Boot for about one hour. After that i pulled the battery out and tried to get to recovery but no success. Holding the X button while booting wasn't getting me to recovery because the wouldn't get pass the First Moto bootscreen (Recovery open after that).
So i've flashed since then a handful of SBF from and-developpers:
2.2 FR
2.2 CH
2.2 UK
2.2.2 FR
2.2.2 CH
2.2.2 UK
2.2.2 Hong Kong
2.2 China
Official GB Leak signed
Still wasn't able to get throught the first moto bootscreen.
r2beta0 had an idea so if someone can please help me get through this. I think i'm done with flashing things...
r2beta0 said:
Hmm, I just had an idea that needs elaboration. As we know we can flash any partition of the phone using sbf_flash or RSD Lite. If his problem really can be solved doing a data wipe it would be also solved by flashing a new "empty" CG37.smg. It doesn't need to be signed because /data is not checked by bootloader. So, we need a Milestone2 /data empty image (CG37.smg). One could do a data wipe and take the image of with dd command, but it would be a HUGE file (6,5 GB). I don't know if we can use a smaller file just to clean his /data. Maybe someone can elaborate that.

Maybe you can flash a modded SBF, with a modded CG37 and a new CG that points to addresses from the middle of data to its end, and make two partitions with data spare space for the dual booting project, is that even possible?
Well, at least when you pack and zip it the SBF won't be hard to upload.
PS: Does the Milestone 1 full SBFs have the data CG included?

I've search in hundreads of threads around different forum XDA is my last chance...
I thanks everyone who will take some time to help me or even at least read this.
I don't know if this is going to help, but you could try that anyway:
- Download MotoAndroidDepacker (utility to unpack/repack SBF's)
- Choose one stock SBF (2.2 FR for example)
- Open and unpack it with the utility
- Rename CG66.smg to CG37.smg (you are going to use preinstall image as data image, both are ext3, but has different sizes. Don't know if it's going to work).
- Use utility to open folder with unpacked images and repack it
- Put phone in bootloader mode and flash the repacked SBF (rebuilt/firmware.sbf)
- Post results here

I don't think it looks good.
I didn't pull out the battery yet i wan't to give it a chance. I'll edit this post
Something is very wrong with your phone. I think your best bet is to reflash stock SBF and send your phone to warranty.
Did you try other options "dumb"? For example, change the simcard, change the sdcard, charge the battery with other alternative (universal charger)

Our Milestone 2 are somewhat different than others... I've phoned motorola for my problem today they told me to send it to a partner repair center but he warned me that if they discover i did something to the phone it will cost my a lot of money...
I'm sending it monday morning i'm really hoping for a solution before than...
Im not sure about service sbf vs the one that wipes user data. We have that kind of sbf for m2?
On the other side, looks like ROM chip go bad.
I'll ask some obvious question...you did not have any errors when flashing ? it always complete the process? Can you get into the bootloader when it print version 70.12 or 70.13 ?
Another obvious thing, did you verify md5 after downloading sbf ?

So it happenned both to us when we intalled MIUI so the problem is MIUI. Because i was using CM7 since Endless7 post the instruction avec Defy's ROM. And the phone was perfect...
We both have French Milestone 2 and i don't think it is my fault. I quite shure i did everything straight. I maybe a noob in dev or other things. But I have experience in flashing things...
My bootloader is 70.12 so it's different than Alex. And i used just like Alex the French Stock sbf i used everything i needed a freash clean install
When i flash i get to the "Please reboot phone manually" like everytime and then pull the battery go to bootloader and get finish
I had problems with miui too. After install MIUI and try back to MS2Ginger, phone dont boot, stuck at the first M bootscreen. So I try a full wipe and same problem, stuck at the first M. Mine bootloader was 70.12, so I flash the 70.13 and the spanish 2.2.2 sbf, and after a data and cache wipe, phone boot again.
Note: After flash a sbf, I dont remove the battery and pull again to get "Pass" on RSD Lite... just waiting to finish the process and disconnect the phone

My phone is supposed to have the 70.12 bootloader right? If i flash the new one won't the repair center see that i modified the software?
The is no 70.12 bootloader on and-developper so how do i get back?
My phone doesn't not get to PASS it never did even in past... Except when i could do a wipe data and cache before flash
If you flash the 70.13 you do not be able to back to 70.12, so think before. When RSD is in reboot your phone 30%, I always remove my phone and never have problems
If you want try, here is the 70.13
The bootloader for the sbf 2.2.2 is 70.13 ! I remenber well, i did the official update on a windows pc, and it started by updating bootloader! But it's good news and may be just some sort of sbf incompatibility with the bootloader...just find the correct ones?

What is the good news ????
Hello,
I have a big problem. I misplaced my MS2 with a customrom Droid 2 installed. after which the phone is stuck at Moto logo, I wanted to flash it with RSD Lite again. But unfortunately it has made all the worse. The screen then remained always black. By accident I found out that the master is always handy in the bootloader if I make the battery clean. the RSD Lite detects it again and then when I want to flash an SBF file he does it without problems. only then if he should make a reboot it ends up back in the bootloader. but i can´t see the bootloader. I know not what to do yet.
can anyone help me?
thank you
greeting
I didn't get quite right the situation but tell me which sbf are you using?
Is it the same android version that was before?
Have you tried pulling off the battery, waited 10 seconds, hold vol + and vol - (or X and arrow up, depending on android version) and powering up to enter the recovery and do a full data wipe? Does it starts normally after that?
Yes, it is the same as before sbf. I've been on it before GB and GB have also flashed.
at the first flash of sbf I'm also in the recovery menu and have a full wipe made but which has unfortunately not have shown anything.
I thought that maybe Customrom a different bootloader has been on it so I downloaded the 70.13 bootloader and flashed.
Since then I have the problem that it only comes into the bootloader, and here again but I have only a black screen.
greeting
sir my advice is redownload your SBF.. maybe it got corrupted. and make sure you choose the right SBF.

Firstly: there is no such thing as CM9 with no bugs (but they are getting better and better). Second: use search option before posting. You're not special. This question has been asked 1000 times.
The black screen when flashing is because you're trying to flash an sbf with a lower codegroup version. You're on level 7. There is no downgrade to any sbf woth a lower codegroup version. Read about it here (search the first post for "downgrade")
You can't use the rooting toolkits because you have bootloader7 (e-fuse "blown" to level 7. The old rooting exploits don't work any more) How to root your build: DFP-188, DFP-231, DFP-2311 BL7 Finally Rooted
Please, guys: I'm not on bl7 myself, so correct me if I'm wrong on anything.

Redownload the files. make sure you use both files from the same source(either both CN or both CEE). do a complete wipe from recovery. The error you are getting occurs when you flash an SBF with lower version than you are on but since CG7 is highest till date, this means you can flash those only with a CG7 SBF. I read what you did.
PS: BL7 is rootable by flashing a rooted SBF.Thats what the other thread is about.

yea now i get it i got the error on this step
4. Flash rooted SBF 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN Rooted SBF Part.1, 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN Rooted SBF Part.2 or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SB
it might be because i skipped this step
2. Flash 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE (It doesn't matter what version of this two You flash but it must be the same with version from point 4).
because i thought that i already had DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN
so it might work but it didnt this time ill try the complete process
thank u guys

Dear tusharbhan,
it seems your datacable is too long (it will loss signals if the cable is disfunctional), try it with a very short datacable and use the usb-port which directly connected with the motherboard of your computer.

I don't think the length is the problem (I use an extended cable which is double the length of original)but yes changing the cable or port might do it.

Good you got it rooted (I already told you to keep both files same And its mentioned explicitly at the Root thread)
You need Custom recovery to flash a custom ROM.
Install 2ndInit first
And just be careful before you begin with anything.Never Hurry. Reading carefully what's written won't hurt you. But doing idiotic mistakes just coz you weren't careful will.

You sure everything you posted is correct.!! Better detail things and maintain integrity of your posts. Helping someone is a good thing but a small mistake could end up in disaster.
@OP Here is the link for supported ROMs(see the first post). You can chose any under Gingerbread.
Here is [APP] 2ndInit Read installation instructions carefully. At this step you can screw your phone.
What a Custom recovery and 2ndInit is, you'll find it here.
PS: Since the problem(rooting) you started this thread for is solved, its better to post your relevant questions in the respective threads and discontinue this one.This makes thing confusing and hectic for users.

Hi,today I have flashed original Motorola .sbf ,I downloaded it from here. It is 3.4.2_179-002, Retail Central Europe version. Now,after flashing it with RSD Lite the phone does not boot. There is no even Motorola logo at the start,nothing,its dead. How can I start the phone with this original .sbf? I want to have original froyo on the phone,and I know how to get back to CM10 but im not interesting in that now.
Thanks.

markos807, did the SBF flashing process complete successfully and did u get the message "Please manually reboot phone" in RDSLite window?
Did u verify the MD5sum of the downloaded SBF against the MD5sum given in the download page to check if the downloaded SBF file is not corrupted?
Are u still able to go to the Bootloader by pressing VOL UP+POWER button when the phone is switched off?
Only if u provide the above information, I can suggest what can be done next.
1.I dont remember what was the message,but I think it wasnt "Please manually reboot phone",but it was done,some other message saying its done
2.How to do that?
3.I cannot go into bootloader and when I connect a phone via usb to the PC the RSD Lite recognizes it so I can flash some other verified sbf.
Thanks for trying

Might I suggest, pull your Defy battery, replace it, do not attempt to get into bootloader, Leave it off. Just plug it in with usb after booting up RSD lite and see if connects on it's own. Sounds like a bad flash. I've connected that way numerous times.

1. Even I dont remember the exact message But I remember that it asks us to reboot the phone manually.
2. If the SBF which u are using is corrupted while downloading, it may lead to bad flash. U can google and download and use any of the md5sum checking tools. I use winmd5 application(I'm using Windows in my laptop), which is easy to use and it has UI unlike some other md5sum tools which have to be run through command line.
3. If RSD Lite recognizes ur phone, then try flashing the SBF once again. But ensure that the SBF is not corrupted as mentioned in point 2. If ur SBF is corrupted, try downloading it again. There are chances for a file to get corrupted while downloading. That is the reason why md5sum is mentioned in the download page to verify the file after download.
Winmd5 app says "Matched!". That means it is good?
Yes, if the MD5sum matches it means that the SBF file is not corrupted. U try flashing the same SBF again and see if it works.
@ markos807: Were u able to flash SBF successfully? I would like to know if ur defy is working fine now
Gingerbread (BL7) back to Froyo?
Did you already flash a Defy+ ROM with Gingerbread?
From a BL7 ROM there is no way back to Froyo. BL7 doesn't support that.
When I wanted to go back to froyo, I was flashing this sbf: JDGC_U6_2.13.0 China Unicom Thread/Download !!!BL6 kernel !!!
And that broke my flashlight! And because of that I want to go back to other official froyo sbf to see will the flashlight work. Do you know any other fix for the flashlight? Anything please?
Also, I am flashing same sbf second time now, will post the results.
Edit: Cannot boot the phone with any .sbf downloaded from here. The only .sbf that I can flash and boot the phone is JDGC_U6_2.13.0 China Unicom and that one broke my flashlight.

Mate, as you flashed BL6 sbf then you are stuck with BL6 and no way back to froyo other than chinese one.
Your flashlight could be burnt out - in such a case only moto service can help
What do you mean you cannot boot with any sbf from walter79 thread? Have you tried all of them? (You shouldn't). Or only froyo ones?
If you tried only froyos, then you can flash gingerbread BL6 to check your flashlight
And have you tried wiping data and cache from stock recovery? Is it accessible with power + volume down?
No, I cannot acess stock recovery. I have tried only froyo ones. Can you give me the link for that BL6 GB, I`ll flash it tomorrow because I really want to fix my flashlight.

Try any from a range 4.5.1-134_DFP-125 up to DFP-161. Higher are usually BL7, lower are BL5, so no use to flash
Link to the sbfs
I have succesfully boot up a phone with this sbf: DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-125_GR_SIGN.. but my flashlight is still not working. The camera is not working at all.

Well, I suppose you've burnt your flash unfortunately with chinese froyo.
Your camera will not work with GB ROMS. It's normal. but it was you who flashed BL6 ROM on your green defy
You have to go to CM10 2ndboot builds to have your camera working again.
For flash I suppoose only moto service can help
Hello to all.
I have a cell DEFY MB525 and he was flashing a ROM with brick and was wrong. With white led. I looked at various threads here in this forum, I discovered how to revive using a ROM BL7 the DEFY MB526.
However coming back to the original ROM MB525, or any other rom, the phone brick. Appearing white led.
I can not use the ROM BL7 Defy MB526, because I can not customize with a modified rom (cyanogemod for example) and worse and that many features of the device are in trouble, such as wifi, bluetooth connections.
One of the most common problems in using the MB526 is a ROM that the device is restarting all the time.
To advance, I'll tell you what I did:
I tried all the ROMS BL7 site (4.5.1-134)
I tried to put a ROM BL7 then a Chinese ROM:
JDGC_U6_2.12.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANGCCORE_P013_A033_HWp3_Service1FF
Another Chinese Rom:
JDGC_U6_2.13.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANAPCNCU_P017_A042_M006_HWp3_Service1FF
And in both tests the phone brick.
I also tried several of the rooms MB525 (not all, but I'll still try ...)
I also tried to install a custom rom MB526:
cm10.Quarx24.09.Defy + red.fixed.sbf
In addition to some custom roms the MB525:
FroyoCEE_cm7.2_2.3.7
Froyo-MIUIandroid.2.4.20-fixed
Froyo-cm9.epsylon-27.06.12.bl4-fixed
froyo.cm10.JB.Quarx.24.09Defy.red.green.bl4.fixed
However .. all attempts brick the phone.
There is finally a way back for any rom MB525, preferably one ROOT to customize with Android 4.0 and use multiple languages?
Once you flash a higher BL version, there's no turning back! You are now stuck with BL7 SBF's only.You should have read the "All-in-one Defy Beginers' gide" by Zephyrot beforehand.

So ...
Excuse my ignorance. I believe that some procedures should have a minimum of knowledge. Thanks Aurius!
I've plotted a plan to recover and am following with a mix of topics from the forum.
I managed to do the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013
And with this I could install Boot to install custom roms
Also unable to access the custom boot and install:
cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-Jordan or CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525
The problem is that if I install "cm-7-jordan" the phone never leaves the logo "M" .. and if I install CM10-Nightly-mb525 the phone is stuck in "cyanogen logo"
I've tried making various wipes .. the normal boot ... by custom boot without success ..
Not to mention that I'm still with the problem of direct restart the phone.

Trying to solve the problem I reported, I tried this:

However whenever I update the kernel, it gives a black screen coming in direct firmware upgrade with "Err, A5 ...":crying::crying:
So with que, I need to go back to step 2 Which is to defy the firmware upgrade file (rooted room. Returning, I fall into the same problem I reported .. Eternal Logo Motorola, or Multiple reboots.

I installed a customized version:
CM9-NIGHTLY-Defy-121116
And this happened:
* The first time was more than 5 minutes at Cyanogen logo and not charged;
* I removed the battery, waited a bit and then called .. al entered the Android .. I was very happy when I first saw one andoid 4.0 and also on entering settings and see that the name of the phone is MB525 .. however when it restarted tinker a bit ..
* After reboot, it got stuck again in the Cyanogen logo. I removed the battery .. I waited a bit and then charged;
* After loading test the camera was OK, tested the WIFI and it does not work!;
I believe this is the way .. install a custom rom and fix all possible problems that will have as Camera, GPS, Bluetooth.
What is the rom the MB525 which is more stable?

Hello to all .
In particular the user avi_tandel conversation I managed to evolve a bit more and now have a phone with Android 4 ( CM10 ) .
So with that, I will explain here for those who are going through what I went through, how to get out of this problem
Step 1 - Install Rom BL7
I installed the rom ( 1 - DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF) that is in the link:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27
Step 2 - Install a Rom Rooted
I installed this one , the post below :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013
Step 3 - Wipe Data / Cache
Step 4 - Turn off your phone and see if it is charging the phone if yes .. leave the phone with 100 % load
Step 5 - Load Firmware Booted , skip the initial setup and habilte the USB Debugging option.
Step 6 - Via computer, install the 2nd Int
Step 7 - Restart the phone and when the blue LED appears, press Volume ( - )
Step 8 - Ext3 format ;
Step 9 - Wipe Data / Cache / Cache Davil
Step 10 - Install a custom Rom CM10 - 20120924 - NIGHTLY - mb525.zip
Step 11 - Install the GAPPS GAPPS gapps_update_2.3.5 - signed.zip
Step 12 - Reboot the machine and wait a long boot will be done (somewhere around 5-10 minutes). Important .. if the player does not leave the logo "M", turn off your phone, connect to the universal charger and wait to get up to 100% again. Then repeat the steps 7,8,9,10 and 11.
Step 13 - Your phone will load the Android 4.0, test all the features to make sure it's right.
Me I tested successfully:
* Camera photo and video;
* Sound recording;
* Wifi;
* GPS;
However I am facing some problems, I would like to see if it went through and how it resolved:
* Lots of slow to start and to use the telephone;
* Problems finding the band/net (can not make calls and send sms);
* Reset the device, the device restarts During the bootloader or after open Android;
* Catching some google apps;
Does anyone have any solution to some of my problems?
Thanks in advance:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
Why are you installing an antique rom? Get the latest from the thread(quarx2k.ru, 30th October). Also format to ext4. Use baseband switcher in defy parts in settings for network. I did not understand "catching some Google apps"

maybe u should wipe system in twrp recovery.(dont reboot after wipe)
then Flash rom

You say to install this rom?
http://quarx2k.ru/cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy (+) / cm-NIGHTLY 10-20131030-mb526.zip
She is not only DEFY (+) MB526? For this I installed another rom ...
About baseband, I think I know what it is .. roted as the firmware that is installed Chinese it comes configured with the wrong baseband. I just still can not test because the phone is restarting all the time.
About "Catching some google apps", some googles apps like maps, search, are giving error.

Model is irrelevant for recent roms. First, format to ext4(no reboot). Wipe system, data and cache before flashing rom and gapps.

Oh my god ... there is no miracle to make this my phone work. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
I tried exactly what happened and said several things:
* Bootloader caught in the logo "M";
* Boot Loop, always to shine brighter the logo cyanogem;
* Charged the system, but it did not work Wifi and a message appeared saying that the phone was faulty and needed to be rebooting. After this, I restarted the phone and the same message appeared. After skipping the initial settings of android, the phone keeps resetting ..
I'm desperate .. already spent several thoughts about this phone, how to break it, burn it, stepping on top, throw on the wall, among others .. but I managed to keep me calm and believed that one day I will fix this unit. :angel::angel::angel:
Help me please .. I know that the options are not exhausted!
Data wipe from stock recovery, use minimal gapps( banks core gapps(the smallest size) and the correct one for your android version). If data reset occurs on ext4 after a clean install(no boot loop) then it must be a hardware problem

Hey .
I did exactly what you said and now unable to run the system .
I am however a problem with the system displays the following message :
Telephony problem
A problem was detected in the phone 's telephony later . a reboot of the phone is required to repair the phone state . What do you want to do?
Perhaps for this reason , can not make calls and use 3g .
With regard to the problem of links tried updating the baseband using the file ( bbsV4.0mlV0.7.zip )
I selected multiple carriers ( Brazil ) and did not work .
I read on some forums that the " telephony problem" was enough to wipe cache and cache davil ... did not work .. but ..
The great news is that for now the phone is not restarting ..
And unfortunately , just broken my LCD , I'll have to buy another .. I left the device with the Motorola logo about 2 hours to see if it started .. and this has made the lcd generate a patch of dead pixels .
If anyone has any tips to solve the problem of this message help me !
Try a different rom, like cm 7. Start from sbf, and use the gapps from the cm7 thread. Try the freezer method to get rid of dead pixels

Hello to all .
Took me to post something because I wanted to test the most of the options that were given to me here in this forum .
I did the freezer method is unable to get a little touch of the damage . But still some stains .. unfortunately I will have to buy another . (No problem ) .
I tried to install CM7 as was instructed and managed for once to configure and test a few things that worked as WIFI , CAMERA , CAMCORDER ..
But .. as well as other customs roms , the problem of eliminating the logo " M" or keep restarting remains .
To be honest , I can only do something about this phone as follows :
* The night he let Loading and off for 10 hours or more;
* When you wake up and turn on my phone for about 2 .. 5 minutes I can do something .. eg rootting or start a custom rom that crashed in Cyanongen soon .
I made some videos to show rather than going to .. and as a result , once you've installed custom one room again , I'll make another video .
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz5W5nUB8BfUR1hMWi1fY0hfV2s/edit?usp=sharing (53 MB)
First video shows the installation of the Chinese ROM :
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF
Realize that the process does not occur naturally , disconnect the phone and rsd lite never completes the process :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz5W5nUB8BfUZmlhSGhsX0hoR2s/edit?usp=sharing (58 MB)
In the second video , I show the installation of the rooted rom :
firmware.sbf
The result is similar to the first video .
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz5W5nUB8BfUcHFEZlhVYUZ5Zms/edit?usp=sharing (22 MB - Play Online)
In the third video , I show a major problem, just stop in M. Notice that I can not do easily wipe .. wait only a few hours after the phone is 100 % charged .:crying::crying::crying:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz5W5nUB8BfUU2cyaURnSjZGYkE/edit?usp=sharing (28 MB)
In the fourth video, after waiting a bit, I managed to get into the stock recovery. Do wipes and restart the phone .. and as always .. does not work..Will only work if you leave the phone still loaded .. all night ..
I'm beginning to think that this phone is something physical, maybe a problem on the motherboard.
