I just flashed cm7 port by tezet to my MS2 which had the german Vodafone firmware.
Then it failed to reboot, I tried again and again with volup and voldown.
Then I put it into bootloader mode with keyboard x and power on.
Installed the Moto Drivers MotoHelper_2.1.40_Driver_5.5.0 and RSD Lite RSDLite5.4.4 on my Windows vm,
connected the ms2 to it and let it flash the wrong sbf, i clicked the froyo one and didnt notice until after. It said done.
Now it does absolutely nothing (no screen on, no rsdlite connection) except when plugged in on usb, but even then, just the white led at the usb port is on. Nothing else.
May this be a hard brick?

Have you tried flashing the right firmware through RSD Lite?
Can you get into bootloader mode?

I solved it.
The battery somehow failed to be recognized, but was definitely full.
I switched it with the battery of another MS2 and back.
Then I could get bootloader again.

I downloaded all the proper SBF files (VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf) and RSD Lite the drivers updated and when I go to bootloader and hook up my USB it does not show the "connected" status in RSD lite. Tried to reinstall and everything. Any thoughts or tips? I would like to get the latest update. I was rooted with Z4, but I unrooted and tried to attempt this. Please help.
Thanks.
Did you change the settings to media connection and enable usb debugging?
Yes usher debugging on and I tried all of the selections.
I would highly recommend using linux to sbf as you don't have to worry about getting the correct drivers. Instructions are at rootzwiki.com. I just did this 2 days ago to get the OTA and it was very painless.

I ran into the same issue, but realized that people were using mixed terminology for two different things. Make sure that you're powering on the phone by pressing Power, Volume Down, and Camera buttons at the same time, and then wait a second or two, and release them. Then you should have some white, DOS like text show up on the screen. If you're doing the Power + Home button and pressing search button to bring up a blue text screen, that's not the right procedure for SBF. Hopefully that's all it is.
Are you using RSD Lite 4.8 or above? Try rebooting your phone and your PC. If that doesn't work, try another USB port and/or cable.

Download RSDlite 4.8
Download the latest SBF
Switch your device to PC mode
Turn on debugging mode (settings>applications>development>debugging mode)
Launch RSDLite (make sure device appears in window)
Select SBF (make sure it's the .sbf and not the .zip you downloaded)
Click Start
Device will switch to bootloader and begin the flashing process and will reboot when it is complete. RSDlite will say PASS.
One thing that most people forget to include in posting sbf/rdslite instructions is that you NEED the Droid X USB drivers installed. Get it from Motorola here and your phone will then show up in RDSLite.

Yep this is exactly what I did. RSDlite does not recognize my phone. I am using Rsdlite 4.8 also.
Just tried another different computer and its working. Very odd. Well anyway I hope to report back that everything went good. I will let you know.
Make sure you have the Moto drivers installed.
All is good. Got it to work and it worked flawlessly.
Just wiped and reset my Bravo and now it is in an endless boot loop. Tried to use RSD lite to load the sbf but the drivers are not working. RSD lite does not recognize my device.

Go to stock recovery by pressing power+volume down, then press both volumes buttons and wipe data/cache.
If you want to flash your phone with RSD Lite, you have to turn on your phone pressing power+volume up, then you will be in bootloader mode, then connect the phone to the PC via USB and flash the SBF.
The stock recovery doesn't work for some reason it was giving me an error. Can't get into the bootloader mode because the battery won't charge. I'm getting the question mark battery icon whenever I go to charge the phone and the bootloader says the battery is too low.
I actuality cheated the too low battery can't charge part. I took an old charger of mine and cut off the end. I then took the neg and pos ends and taped them to the battery so they made contact with the batt. NOT each other. Then I put the battery into the phone and held it there until RSD loded my sbf and then had a party. Took me like 3 hours to think of it. Anyway, after it loaded I undid everything and put the battery back in and plugged in the charger and charged it to %100. FYI Always start with a fully charged battery. BTW on most chargers the wire that is rough or has lines is negitive i belive. I am not responsable for anything you do to your phone resulting from this post.

if you dont wanna cut your OEM charger , you can buy a battery charger that charges battery only , they are really like 3 bucks free shipping off ebay, sometimes you can buy a high capacity battery and a charger combo for like 12 bucks
i hope everything works out for you
i just found this how to solve your battery problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
Summery: Cut end off any USB cable. Connect red to + on battery, Black to -. Insert into phone. Plug other end into a) computer b) wall plug and then boot into bootloader. Plug standard USB cable into phone and then computer. Flash correct SBF file with your choice of RSD Lite. Done.
Did I miss anything?
Oh and I posted in the Defy forum and was tossed out for comparing it to the Bravo. Touchy guys overthere.

If you can connect it to the battery only, it will be less dangerous for your phone.
It could charge something, walter79 did it with his defy!
--------------------------------------
DEFY owners dont know that defy has a little brother which needs lot of attention, because it has the same potential.
True true but I was in a hurry. Worked anyway. After reading I did look at the charger that I used and it does only put out 3.8v at 875Ma so it's so close at being the same power as the battery it'self that I don't think the phone knew any better. Oh well the what if's and shouldi've's of the world.
And yes the Bravo is Defy's little brother but only in parts....... Kinda a more 2nd cousion looked over at family gatherings and get's the crap parts of the Thanksgiving turkey, (Sniff, sniff, tear).
So I fixed the battery problem but now I have some other problems. When I try to do the volume down power android recovery to try to update.zip. When I do this I get an error 7 meaning that I probably don't have a stock app installed from what I've read. Then I tried to do the RSD lite install and the only RSD lite I can get to recognize my phone is 3.9. I've tried 4.5.7, 4.9, and 5.0. Each of these can't recognize my phone when I plug it in. When I try to run 3.9 I get a can't find INI error. Please HELP!
Umm, real quick do you have MotoHelper installed?
Yup motohelper is installed and my computer recognizes the flash device. RSD lite 3.9 detects my phone but fails to install the sbf and no other RSD has been able to detect my phone.
Used a different computer with windows 7 32-bit and a newer version of RSD Lite and on the first try it installed the sbf!
Hello Everyone,
my Defy plus is not detecting on PC, when i plugged in the USB only phone light is turning on no led light no charging. i tried connecting rsd lite nothing happen. i m using windows 7 latest RSD-lite some 5. version and latest drivers. i have installed SBF before but its not connecting now. it happen after i installed White-rabbit ROM 1.5.2 i was using 1.3 there was no problem. everything else is working good.
I even installed stock ROM and older white-rabbit ROM's but same problem exists.
when i plugged charger its working good.
Tried almost everything formatting, factory restore, nothing working.
is it a hardware problem...? my phone is still under warranty.
try use this..hope itll help..
not Working...
Most likely HW problem. Especially if you tried several ROMs.
I had been to the service center they say that its a motherboard problem..They have sent my phone to main office in chennai i guess..I have installed stock rom i restored it through CWM but cant unroot because my USB was not working...?
will there be any issues if the phone is rooted...??
Hi, i m writing this post to resolve the problem of my milestone because after some flash process (it was bricked and i tried with different versions of rsd, and different sbf) this morning i took my phone but was impossible to enter in bootloader mode i tried all combinations...if i connect the milestone with pc, pc don't recognize it(no sound about new hardware)....but the led of recharge is on...rsd doesn't work....what i should do?
Hi,
I recently got ahold of a european XT610 which I rooted and flashed to CM7 without problem. Unfortunately I missed the warnings which said not to run bootstrap after installing cyanogenmod... and now I have the infamous bootloop. It gets to the CM loading screen, but goes on indefinitely from there. I know the answer is to restore the motorola sbf, however I can't seem to get my phone to communicate at all via usb. I installed motorola drivers and RSD and all in windows, but the phone seems to ignore the USB completely. I'm normally a linux guy, so I when I tried to plug it in there and watch the output of dmesg, absolutely nothing came up. Holding R, M and power when I plug in the usb causes a black screen after a bit of the motorola logo, but still no USB. Tried a few different cables, and checked them with other devices to confirm they're working.
So any ideas on how to recover the phone?
Update:
I discovered the main step I was missing was that the bootloader can be accessed by holding down both volume buttons and the power with the device off. For some reason I still couldn't get windows to recognize the correct drivers, even after installing the motorola driver package, but good old linux saw it without a problem. Following these instructions I was able to do a quick SBF and now all is good in the world!
same probleme for me?
