I just manged to brick my defy. All I did was to restore NANDROID backup.
The phone freeze in recovery mode, I put out and the inserted the battery, sins then the phone show only the red dot with big M. No LED blinking and I cannot access recovery or bootloader modes.
please help!!!
power phone on with holding volume down should get you into bootloader and powering on holding volume up should get you into recovery. In recovery you will see android with ! press both volume buttons at the same time to access recovery.
You might want to try wipe cache and delvic cache then try again or you will have to flash a RSD with the version of your stock phone.

So about a few hours ago I saw that I could download the new 10.2 cyanogenmod. I wanted it because it was Android 4.3, so I downloaded it. I tried watching flash movies and stuff, and the browsers and stuff kept crashing, and the internet didn't work completely. So, I downloaded 10.1 again, and installed it. It rebooted to the teamwin thing, and then rebooted again. A few minutes after, I was curious as to why it was still loading. Waited a long time, and it still was on the CM boot logo thing. Im using the Nexus 7 toolkit (its called something else, but im not sure what. The icon is a red toolbox with 3 tools in it), and can't reboot into recovery or flash stock back on it. How can I get it out of bootloop? I really need help! D:
Press all the three buttons , power , volume up and volume down together and boot into bootloader. From boot loader use volume buttons to go onto recovery , do a clean wipe there and reflash a ROM. Another alternative is to use adb and type
Code:
adb reboot recovery
then wipe clean and reflash ROM.

Hi Red Devil,
I just tried to install CM 10.1.3 on my Motorola Atrix HD.
I forgot to wipe data and cache before installing the ROM, and now it is stuck in the boot animation.
When I press the power and volume keys down together, it takes my phone to a black screen, and when I press them again on the black screen it gives me a brief menu that says
"Normal power up"
"Recovery"
"AP Fastboot"
"Factory"
and another one I can't recall.
This screen times out in about 3 seconds. and regardless of which item from the menu I select, it still shows my boot logo, then the CM animation. I cant boot into fastboot or recovery, and I can't find anything good online to help me.
Help! What do I do?
I gave my old phone Defy Red lens to a friend. He messed around with bootloader and now the OS does not see any internal storage so i can't install any bootloaders.
Can't acces custom bootloader.
I can only acces a recovery mode but my options are limited.
I did a full wipe and cache wipe from the recovery mod but i only managed to get inside os but all data resets everytime and there is no storage as stated before.
Please check attached photos for more information on build etc.
I tried RSD lite but it won't see phone while in recovery mode.
Any help is appreciated.

Bootloader is already in the phone, you must be talking about custom recovery. When you reboot your phone, a blue LED will light up. Immediately push volume down, then choose recovery->Teamwin recovery.
To enter bootloader, switch off your phone, then first press volume up then power button, keep them pressed until the screen lights up a little, then let them go. A screen appears, which is the bootloader. This is needed for RSDLite.
About your problem, download AROMA/full wiper zip. Go to custom recovery, then press install and choose the zip. Choose EXT4 and wipe system, data and cache. DO NOT REBOOT. After that, immediately flash a ROM+Gapps.
By the way, when you cleared data and cache in stock recovery (the one in the photo), they were formatted to ext3, which led to those problems.

Thanks, now I can get in teamwin recovery and in bootloader I will try to fix the phone now. Have a nice day!
Dear friends,
My defy's power button is corrupted. There is no problem with turn on phone with usb cable or charger. and i change vol+ button to power button in keylayout for wakeup and power menu in android. but now i flash a sbf file and i have rebooting cycle and need to wipe. but when i go to recovery i cant select wipe menu and only i can up and down menu.
if i have a sbf that no need to wipe, i can flash this and then install 2ndint and then install CM with touchscreen recovery.
What should I do? any help?
You can make a custom sbf, which has twrp(check development thread I think it's made already, though I'm not sure which recovery it includes), and once installed you should be able to wipe data from twrp
To include twrp on a custom sbf you will need to modify system.img from your sbf and replace boot menu folder from a Rom with twrp.

-"My defy's power button is corrupted."
Have you try disassembling the phone?
Mine was only dirty. Once I removed the dirt I was able to use it.
You can also put a small drop of cyanoacrylate on the button's internal pin.

Hi all,
i've tried to upgrade my Defy (MB525) to CM11 from Slimrom. First I updated the CWM recovery, then I tried flashing CM11 but the installation aborted. After restarting the Defy I wasn't able to reach the Custom Recovery again. So I tried flashing an original sbf (Retail German 2.2.2. and Retail US 2.2.2.) from this site: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27.
Everytime RSD asks me to restart the Phone manually and displays "PASS" after the manual reboot. But then it is stuck in bootloop. When I try to perform a Factory reset over "power button and vol -" there is only a little triangle on the display but no Motorola stock recovery.
So could anybody tell me what to do next? I assume that I could only reach the bootloader mode now..
Thanks for your help!
Stock recovery
Exclamation mark in triangle and droid symbol is stock recovery.
Press both vol+ and vol- to see the menu. Then wipe data/factory reset.
Good luck!
press the both volume button(increase and decrease) and then you will get stock recovery option
Perfekt! Thanks, guys!
So I've wiped the Dalvik Cache, Data, Internal Storage, and System, but I forgot to flash before rebooting. Now it's stuck in the WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED screen and everytime I tried resetting to recovery mode it would turn off then turn back on at the same screen. ADB is not detecting the devices also. Is there anything I can do or is it bricked?

Boot into bootloader by holding down vol down and power together. The timing can be a little tricky when it is stuck or looping. Hold power until the screen goes dark and it tries to reboot, usually about 8 seconds. Then let go and immediately hit vol down + power together. Hold them until the bootloader screen comes up, should be pretty fast. Might take a few tries to get the technique down with it bootlooping.
From there you can flash firmware directly with fastboot, or boot it into TWRP to flash something from recovery. If TWRP fails to boot for some reason then fastboot flash it again.
It should not be a brick just from wiping everything. Well, just a soft brick anyway.
Thanks!
I was able to get into recovery!!
