Hi,

You are stuck in bootloop since you didn't do a clean wipe before flashing the SBF.
Press and hold Vol- and Power button. When you get to the android with yellow exclamation mark, press Vol- and Vol+ simultaneously and then wipe data/cache.
Done!
If I was getting a dime every time I have given this solution, I'd be driving a Ferrari by now

You can't. 2.3.5 is BL6 (I believe) and you want to go back to a BL4 sbf - no way.
did all you have said .
cleared cache and clear data still not booting beyond google logo
what to do now ?
"I have pressed stock recovery when I end up like this"
one more thing blue light appears and than all the below touch button flash once..
Since I can't go back and flash above sbf.
with what can I flash ??
Questions go in the Q&A section

2.3.5 is Gingerbread kernel based and CM 7.1 - Froyo-based (as far as I can remember). Since you see the blue light, this means you have access to the boot menu and recovery mode, so just flash a GB kerne-based ROM and your phone will be fine. You can flash MS2Ginger by Walter79, for example, or you can flash Quarx's CM9 ICS builds (follow my tutorial in Defy General section)
Struck at the google logo. Nothing works after that. Tried with rsd but battery went down and unable to load Sbf.
Please help out

I too have this problem few weeks ago when I try about 6 ROMs.
I remember I forgot to wipe data and dalvik at the time of installing WIUI ROM and I have different recovery play with.
So just do one ... 1. In the recovery section go to the custom recovery and try wipe cache, and dalvik and them reboot.
2. If above step doesnt work them at the time when mobile starts .. then you see blue light glowing for some seconds ,,, when you see it press " volume down button ". you see again a stock recovery menu. In that do wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot.
In the 2nd method at the time of recovery if you see cant mount cache before wiping then may be you have to do RSD Lite procedure.
RSD lite and SBF :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093352
it a simple procedure. Just follow steps and you come with your official foryo 2.2.2
After that you can again install custom ROM.
Because it happens to me also. My phone shows me that there is no space in my mobile i.e phone memory is full.
So so RSD lite procedure and again back to froyo and then again install 4.1.1. jelly bean and now everything work good.

Hi all,
I have a friend's Defy from a French carrier and my friend is with another carrier so I decide to SIM unlock it by installing CM7 and other files.
So I have root it and install the recovery.
In recovery, I have flash CM7 and Gapps.
But I get a boot loop...
So I decided to flash JORDN_U3_97.21.51 SBF and restart from scratch.
But now, the phone wont boot at all.
Nothing on the screen but it's still reconized by RSD (even if nothing is displayed on the screen) I can re-flash SBF files and RSD say "PASS" but doesn't reboot the phone.
So now I have a brick and can't boot vol up + power doesn't display anything.
Dose anyone have an idea for me ?
Thank you.
1st don't loose your battery - when no working system on the device then it is not being charged
You wrote nothing about wipes - have u performed them? If not try to get into any recovery and wipe user data / factory reset, try vol- w/power or vol + & - together, take a battery for some time before doing it etc.
What ROM u had before flashing CM7?
Is it defy or defy+?
And you flashed CG5 sbf
When you give more details maybe I can propose proper solution.

If I understood right, OP's DEFY is completely bricked and he cannot even access recovery.
Anyway, I unfortunately no solution to propose as I have a DEFY in the same situtation and I'm currently unable to revive it. We aren't the only who had DEFY bricked like this and some managed to have it wake up by flashing certain sbf.
You can try searching "bricked defy" on XDA and see what sbf the topic creator used to save his DEFY, if he succeeded to.
dont flash sbf just after the bootloop..!

frend i wanna tell u onething.the very first time i did the flashing of cm7.1stable on froyo 2.2.2defy i got a bootloop..since i was in hostel i cudnt afford internet..so i was soo scared and even waited for 15 min..but the cm7 logo with an arrow swirling around didnt stop..i puld the batery out and again inserted and did something stupid like clearing data and got the condition worse
then i flashed sbf using rsd lite ..again rooted and flashed cm7.1 stable and got bootloop..this time i surfed net and found what shud hav been done ..
1)pull out the battery after the boootloop.
2)clear cache
3)reboot
tats it..the welcome window comes in no time..
so coming to the present issue, after flashing the smf did u get bootanimation with light passing over "android" againg and again ??
Check that u r using the latest RSD.
I have a Defy plus but the same thing happened to me before (black screen even no boot with vol up) so I connected my phone to the computer (I can't really remember if I powered with a vol up or not) but I got it recognized by the RSD. try connecting and powering on the the vol up if nothing just connect and see what will happen.
The most important thing is to use the latest version of RSD.
and please tell me if it worked.
I'm not responsible for anything.

The exclamation mark that you see is your stock recovery....when you see that exclamation mark with an android bot in it...press both the Vol Up + Vol Down buttons at once...
This will get you into the stock recovery and you will see certain options in blue text....there hit the factory data reset and wipe the cache and then try rebooting your phone normally....
I had the same problem and following the steps i mentioned above resolved the issue...
Do let me know if it worked !!
Thanks

In my post above I wrote that i solve the problem, but thanks for your advice and help....
About a month ago I installed a clockwork based recovery app from the market. I tried restoring and this failed leaving the phone unbootable.
Since then I have tried flashing MANY other sbf`s using rsd lite but this has made the situation worse. I think that I even flashed one for the defy+
Now all I get is either a blank screen or a M logo when I switch on.
Pressing power & volume down doesn`t work so I can`t access the stock recovery menu
I can access the bootloader using power & volume up so i can flash more sbf`s but I`ve tried most of them but none will boot.
BTW the phone was running cm7.1 before I had all this trouble and the battery has been fully charged (in another defy)
Is there any way I can clear off all the stuff I`ve been installing and start from fresh? or can anyone tell me how to get the phone to boot?
I have searched for a solution in the forums but most of the replies involve clearing the cache which I cant do as I cant get to the recovery menu.
Any helpful comments will be gratefully received
many thanks

Your flashs complete with Finish/Pass, or just "please manually power up this phone"?
If it's the later, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38187413&postcount=2
Just stick to the most highest Defy+ sbf build, or just use DFP-231 build to be sure.

Thanks for the reply
I flashed the DFP-231 sbf file as you suggested but it wouldn`t boot any further than the M logo.
I did get the "please manually power up this phone" message and followed the procedure from the link you gave
I can`t wipe the as I cannot get to the recovery menu.
Is there any other way to wipe the cache?
JeffH
Nah, no other way than stock recovery for stock rom.
Just make sure your flash finished with Finish/pass, that'll make your stock recovery working again.
Wish you a best luck.
i flashed with this:
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf
but still no boot
Is this the correct rom?
cheers
JeffH
I wonder if the following might give someone a clue about whats wrong with my defy
If I flash gingerbread rom either defy or defy+ then rsd completes with PASS, and phone will boot as far as the M logo and I can access the menu with power+volume UP
If I flash below gingerbread then rsd doesnt complete but gives `manually reboot` message. If I then power off and plug in again then rsd completes with PASS but when I reboot there is NO M logo and no menu on power and volume up.
I`m keeping my fingers crossed that I will be able to revive my phone.
JeffH
With DFP-231 rom, how about power+volume down to boot into stock recovery? I think you're just one step away from reviving defy.

No, Power + volume down doesn`t work, (ie nothing happens). Only power + volume up works.

Thanks, but it didn`t work. Still stuck at M logo. Obviously I couldn`t clear the cache before and between flashing
JeffH
Thank you all for your helpful advice.
I have now sent the phone away for repair.
I spoke to the technician on the phone and she reckons it needs dismantling and a jtag repair (whatever that is).
But beware an app on the market, I think it is called orange backup, as it was after installing this and trying to restore the backup that I screwed up my phone!

Hi guy,
does any one know how to back to original defy wtih sbf files? because my defy stop at Android logo. In addition, I think my problem at MIUI defy V5 because after I installed V5. I dont like it, so I use RLDs to recover my defy with SBF.
Environment and duplicate steps
MB525 (green camera)
1 - Reboot the phone when you see the blue LED volume press the button below to enter the bootmenu.
2 - Now we enter the Custom recovery
Custom recovery:
A - Wipe data
B - Wipe cache
C - install the rom and Reboot (MIUI V5 Defy/Defy+ 17.5.2013 Quarx Based on 11.5.2013 /Miui Defy/Defy V5 Optimization)
3 - Use one or two hour, then I dont like MIUI v5, so I go to wipe date and cache again under recovery mode, then defy stop at Moto's logo.
4 - I used JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7_CHINESE_SIGN...to reflash by RSD lite.
5 - The Defy stop at Android logo. ( I dont have any idea now. because usually reflash SBF is work for me.)
Can you take any screenshot? I cant imagine what android logo are you thinking .....

Thank you Yzeroy,
Android logo is second picture when you power on defy. (ex: first picture is Moto logo. second logo is Android logo)
Ok, as you said you came from MIUI v5 ( whitch is CM10) it uses EXT4 as primary partition format for data and cache ... solution si simple and easy ....
1. Turn off you mobile ....
2. Boot up Defy with POWER button and VOLUME down button pressed together
3. DO factory reset and reboot
Now it should boot
haha, I fixed this problem now, and I know the root cause. anyway, thank you very much
the root cause:
should be need to wipe date and cache again.

Hi,
I have had my motorola Defy Plus running cyanogen for a year or so. Various versions, 2nd init.
Recently I decided to upgrade to Cyanogen version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2515036
Got it installed and running ok but there were some glitches (maybe) so I started from scratch to be sure.
The method I used to completely re-initialise the phone is as follows.
repartitioned SD, wiped and flashed
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz
booted into stock android. installed framaroot - rooted.
installed 2nd init
installed twrp
updated recovery
wipe/reset
install cyanogen
The first time I did this it worked (but with some gapps glitches so to trouble shoot I thought I would start again.
Now this is the problem.
the second time when I tried to flash the stock rom RSD lite hung with "please manually reboot the phone"
After this it is impossible to get into stock recovery from the android triangle screen. When pressing both volume buttons the only thing that happens is the screen brightness toggles between light and dim.
I can get the phone to connect to RSD lite and I can flash ROMS - I have tried a few but I cannot get recovery, Always after flashing RSD says please manually reboot phone. The automatic reboot does nothing but get to the motorola or triangle screen, or a black screen sometimes.
Just to clarify - I have googled and tried many solutions, the main problem is that there is no stock recovery from the triangle screen so no solution that relies on this is working,
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Stock recovery is included in the ... stock ROM (duh) so you need to install completely the stock ROM. But anyway at what serve stock recovery for you?

The one that usually works is DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_US AJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF.sbf.gz
Which is the retail UK version for my phone. However when I try to flash it now with RSD it gets to the reboot stage but I am not sure it completes.

I think what would solve my problem would be a way of installing the above rom (which I believe includes the bootloader). I need to solve the problem of the flashing not progressing beyond the reboot stage.
I am using RSD Lite version 6.1.4
Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Boot in recovery. Do a total wipe (factory reset). Reboot in bootloader. Flash the .sbf.

There is no functioning recovery, so it is impossible to do a wipe. It is possible to flash a stock ROM (which should restore the recovery) using RSD lite but the process does not get past the reboot stage.
download again the sbf or flash another sbf.
