Hi umario
I've only done this a couple of times, so im no expert. One of my friends managed to mess up his phone, and when we flashed it the same thing happend to us (black screen). The phone did however connect to rsd, but the screen on the phone seems dead. Turn the phone on av push the volume button at the same time until rsd connect to the phone and flash one a rom from here:
Cant post links, but youll find a link in this post:

Some of these gave me the same situation (black screen), but i think the nordic (2.2.2 Service Flashes) worked fine. After flash connect to the net and let it update market ++ before you root it.
Good luck
Thank you, but not working. Nordic 2.2.2 service flash not extract. error on the rar.
I trying the DE, AT, CH 2.2.2, but not work. Your friend phone is Defy or Defy+?
Edit: Not working with nordic 2.2.2
RSD completed - restart the phone - finish...pass, but only empty black screen, and white led. Battery is charged.
This phone is Plus

Hello,
I'm sorry, but I think you knocked your Defy+ into a coma.
Check out the second section about the 3 different versions of the Defy here
So far, there is no full SBF for Defy+.

Hi, I have the same problem, I have defy, not defy+ already and tried to write it every soft and nothing helps. some tips
i have same as this problem
mine is mb525 with green lens
can you help me?
Just for the record...
I have recently revived my defy+ last night. Just in case google will lead someone else to this thread with the 'white light' problem I sum up some of my observations:
This happened with me when I tried to downgrade my OTA updated Defy+ (4.3.6, CG version 7) to a stock sbf (4.3.5, CG version 5 or 6... Kids, don't try this at home). No (visible) bootloader/recovery, just a white led turning on when it's on USB (not recharging, though...) It seemed like it was totally bricked. I didn't want to do the infamous macgyver hack, so I waited for a day and then have my battery charged by a Defy-owner friend of mine.
Here's the checklist (for windows):
- make sure battery is on 100%. After flashing, mine depleted to 50%... you basically have 1 shot. If not on USB, i'd suggest you to take the battery out to be sure bootloader is not draining your battery. Seriously, you have like 20 minutes before a 100% charged new battery depletes .
- install Motorola drivers
- download an appropriate SBF (if you had an OTA update on defy+ it will be most likely a dfp-231 version). Place it as close to the filesystem root as it gets and rename it to something shorter. RSDLite still has some issues with long paths...
- Run RSDLite as root AND IN WinXp SP3 COMPATIBILITY MODE!
- Volume up, power button, release power button, wait for a second and you're hopefully in bootloader mode. Try this over and over again, while RSDLite can see your phone. Try to re-run RSDLite or restart windows if nothing helps. It's always freakin' windows
- If everything's OK and the phone is recognized, flash an sbf as soon as you can. If everything goes well, you will be able to get it to 100% In the meantime you can see something on the screen like 'flashing in progress'. It was the first thing my phone said in the last 2 days.
- Be patinet, it takes about 10 minutes. It will say 'PASS' when it's done. You are on stock rom. From now you can charge your phone to 100%, root, 2dinit, and flash something that actually works
Hello there,
I apologize if the thread seem redundant, but I've already tried I found the forum about similar issues to no avail.
So I bought a bricked Defy on eBay for a couple of bucks and I'm trying to revive it. The seller said he bricked it after a flash that apparently when wrong.
The phone does not power on at all and doesn't even react when the power button is pressed. The white LED turn when I plug the phone to a computer. It does not turn on when plugged to a wall charger.
By using the "MacGyver" method, I have managed to make the phone show up in RSDLite. I have tried to flash multiple SBF images with different CG versions. Each time, the phone wakes up and shows "SW UPDATE IN PROGRESS" in blocky font but dies again once the flashing process end. RSDLite simply shows PASSED. Also every informations listed by RSDLite in the "Devices Properties" is shown as N/A except for the bootloader version and the last 4 lines.
Another issue is that I'm not even sure whether it's a DEFY or a DEFY+. The seller listed it as a DEFY+, however the battery that came with it is a 1540mAh and the lens seem to be green. I've tried to flash a DEFY+ before noticing this, so hopefully it didn't screw up the phone even more.
So, any idea? I would appreciate any help provided. Thanks!
The most important thing is to use the latest version of RSD and drivers.
I have a Defy plus and the same thing happened to me before (black screen even no bootlooder) 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.
In my satiation, the phone got recognized in the RSD and remained black screen till I pressed start then it finally showed SU UPDATE.
The defy plus has a grey colored power buttons and screws but the defy is totally black
The most important thing is to use the latest version of RSD and drivers
And please tell me if it worked.
Thanks for the reply. Now I know I have a DEFY!
Unfortunately, getting the phone recognised isn't the problem. I can flash SBF and everytime the process seem to go without any error (RSDLite just show passed once it's done). But the phone is still completely bricked. I also tried the "TI Flash erase" option, to no avail.
I'll just try again a bit, then I guess I'll list it back on eBay.

Did you read Zephyrot's All-in-one thread? I guess you haven't...
Zephyrot said:
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+) )
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.

If you have flashed an SBF with a higher CG39 version than your original, there is a good chance you now own not a Defy, but a Defy+, which is not a huge issue, unless you need to get back your stock ROM for warranty purposes or if your phone has a green lense...
Well thanks for the reply, but my problem isn't that the phone fails to boot, but does simply not turn on at all. It's literally dead as a brick. I've already tried to flash pretty much every sbf under the sun (Including DEFY+ once) and the phone never turned on once (Not even the Moto logo or a bootloader error screen).
The only last thing I see might be a defective battery.
Yeah could be a battery. Get a cheap one ebay job and try a sbf then if it loads then great u can allways put cm7 or cm9 on it
defy cm7
Change your battery or charge with external charger (universal charger)
Or this may work

and puts me in RDSLite "Finished" and "PASS"
Defy but does nothing ... and when I press the power button is switched off, give it back, turn again as "Bootloader" with the following error

Which stock ROM were you on? If you flash the same ROM again, you should not have this problem. This happens mostly if you flash a ROM with lower BL than the current one on your phone.

The first SBF i put, there rom_froyo.sbf (original from motorola i think)
before i try to upgrade to CM10-20120904 i have kernel 2.3.4 and i think that the same "rom_froyo.sbf", because i made only one time Flash with RDSLite...
from first and unique flash with RDSLite, only i made update from recovery mode - install zip from sd
only put cm7, cm9 and cm10, then the Gapps... and the last time when upgrade to cm10 i made, install cm10.zip, install kernel 2.3.4, and install gapps...
Any idea about the firmware version?

As you flashed ME722BL6.sbf, you are now on BL6 and I assume that's a Defy+ ROM, so no downgrade to Froyo. Try flashing the ME722BL6.sbf file again and don't flash froyo ROM on top of it. If it gets stuck on M logo, go to recovery and do a factory reset.
If you have a greenlens defy, you can no longer use the camera.

the principal problem now is that can not made nothing... only it put in white led when i connected to usb...(no combination (power+vol+ or power vpl-) made nothing)
Try this: Pull out battery. Keep volume + pressed. Insert battery and then press power button. It should now enter bootloader mode. Connect it now to PC and then flash SBF with RSD.

red wire to positive and black to negative,
I'll leave loading an hour or more, and try again.
what "sbf" do you recommend that put in defy? BL6 or BL7 ...
Could you put the recommended "sbf" links?

What defy you have: red, green or plus? You cant install lower rom than 188. If you have plus - you'll have all things working, red - battery can make work with batt fixes, green - camera will never work on BL7, only on CM10,CM9.1 or other roms with custom kernel. You're stuck on BL7 so try flash 231 sbf. Read this post, you'll find more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12419400&postcount=3

My Defy had CM7.1, running well. I tried to upgrade to CM9 after making a nandroid backup. During first boot, i was stuck at 'wizard has stopped' when i touched the android icon.
I tried to restore my nandroid backup, but phone booted into recovery.
Then i tried to flash JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTNORD_P003_A001_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
through RSD lite 4.9 but probably battery was drained, as i could not get the phone to boot after pass message, just a white LED and phone not detecting on RSD lite and not going into boot loader.
With macgyver hack, my pc could recognize the phone and i have flashed a number of ROMs but phone never boots.
While rest all sbfs were froyo, i also flashed
3.4.2-179-002-tmobile-froyo-fixed.sbf
T-mobile froyo bootonly.sbf
and
Tmo_2.2.1-3.4.2-107-boot-devtree-ONLY.sbf
Please help what should i do to get my defy back? I dont have warranty cover.

Than you sould flash again one froyo. And it will work. Good luck.

Hi together, well I hope this is the right place.... I'm owner of a motorola Defy MB 525 that ran without any problems on cm9 nightly for last 6 month. Now suddenly it doesn't start any moer andIi can't access recovery setup nor anything else so it's impossible to wipe anything, too. When connected to my notebook only the white LED is shining but nothing happens. The typical "hardware-found-ping" appears and several seconds later the " hardware was removed ping." The right drivers are installed on my notebook, but even RSD Lite doesn't found my Defy so I can't flash enything. Anyone has any Idea what to to?
Thank's in advance for any help!

I've tried a lot of SBFs from h*t*t*p://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php but nothing helping.
My defy show only two screens: 'SW Update In Progress...' and 'SW Update Complete' and nothing new on display.
Maybe my battery discharged and McGyver hack doesn't help....

Hi there,
I bricked my Defy Plus from CM10, 2ndInit. I've wanted to flash again the original .sbf cause of warranty issues. I wasn't sure witch version I had on the original so I thought I'll go from one to one in the list of droid developers SBF( can't create link )
After flashing with RSD light there was 2 possible outcome:
1. Flashing completed normally but after device rebooted, it hanged at the Motorola Logo infinetly.
2. Flashing completed, but the device turned off itself, and after trying to turn on, nothing was rendered, HOWEVER I've noticed, that it can be still booted into bootloader mode, cause I could see it listed in the RSD Lite device list.
I thought that was the worst case scenario, turns out its not:
After flashing DFP-137 device cannot be turned on, won't apper in RSD Lite, nothing.
A symptem is, that if connected the white led glows.
Is it possible I bricked it to such state, that I've got no options? If not, what should I do.
I think the cell got supply, cause I licked it, and felt normal ( electricity was riding trough my thoung ).
Any tipps are welcome, hit me!

No, I figured for removing rooted state, I should reflash the full .sbf.
As I said, it feels charged, mb I'll try go for McGuyver charing method.
If I can reanimte my Defy into bootloading state, how do I know witch .sbf is the correct one??

Dear All,
