[Q] Milestone 2 bricked. Doesn't power up

Hello I have a problem with my milestone 2.
I was using cm7 and today I flashed the official gb sbf via RSD.
Then the phone bootlooped and I tried to enter motorola recovery pressing the "x" and then the @, but when the android exclamation appears and I pressed the @ nothing happened. As I have not gotten into recovery mode I decided to flash froyo sbf.
RSD said "finished" and didn't do anything. I tried to boot up the phone via power button and nothing happens. Tried charging the phone with no results. So now I've got no idea of what to do.
Any ideas?
Sorry for my english
Thank you

Ok now ive managed the way of flashing the phone again. Weird though, With the screen in black. Now it works. For avoiding the bootloop, it is possible to wipe data/dalvik/cache via the pc?
Thanks

Are you sure you have some charge in battery yet? Did you have full battery before flashing SBF? If you are sure, this is not because battery is empty, then try to get into bootloader by holding Power+Volume Down+Camera button and it should be recognised in Windows and then you can try RSD Lite. Or you can try another computer/cable/Linux
EDIT: I don't think so, since you can only use RSDLite (or sbf_flash in Linux/Mac) when in bootloader mode. So best way for you would be flashing SBF again.

yes I had battery and I bought a wall charger just in case. ( I had the battery problem months ago)
I'm having strange issue. The screen is black and RSD recongnises the phone. I can flash sbf but the screen is block during the "creating image file" status. When rsd says "flashing code group etc..." the phone screen lits and shows "SW update in progress" as normal.
But when RSD reaches 100% it says "finished and PASS".
I've done this before and at this part the phone reboots and rsd messoges "the phone is being rebooted"...
Now im trying too flash gingerbread official again...
let's see

Ok now with the official GB sbf the phone reboots lets see if it bootloops.
Asking again!:
Is possible to wipe dalvik/data/cache without entering recovery? via PC?
OK if someone has this problem remember that the @ button doesn't work anymore. Try vol up + vol down instead!!!

My MS2 is too. Don't boot into HS.

i had same problem here`s solution.

Having the same issue, none solution worked for me so far...
have u guyz flashed that 70.13 bootloader before? i did it like 3 months and i think that's the issue.

How is it?

OK people this problem is semi-solved.
If you flashed the official GB you can't downgrade.
If you try it you will get a black screen and the only solution is to re-flash the official GB

that`s, what i wrote answering Your post

This problem can fix.
1. Enter Stock recovery by: Put both POWER + X -> put together Vol + and Vol -.
2. Factory reset ( wipe data) and wipe cache partition
3. Done...

Guys, I am having kind the same problem with my device.
I try factory reset on the recovery mode, but then the phone shuts off before it end and does not comes back out (I have to wait couple minutes to get back).
I was trying to upgrade my phone from 2.2 to 2.3.5...
I try the bootloader and it shows me that the battery is low and nothing happens.
This happens, even when it is pluged to the wall charging.
I see also that, the light next to the mini ubs connector shuts off when the phone turns on.
I do not know what is going on and what else I can do to fix it..
Can you guys help me out?

My M2 doesn't bootup afer try downgrade from GB to Froyo, i try boot up the phone via power button and nothing happens.

You can't just go back to froyo from gb, at least not directly.
If you were on any 2.3.4 or Retail/TIM Brazil 2.3.6 (not VIVO) , you can try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497263

Maybe you tried to downgrade a non-downgradeable 2.3.6 firmware... what firmware did you have before the brick?

Maybe try to flash via RSD Lite the same stock firmware you had before CM7 (GB) and do a full wipe, then if the stock firmware is downgradeable (you have to check that it is BL=3 or lower, if it is BL=4 you're stuck in GB) try the method posted by Lean946: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497263
In the post linked there's a tool to check the BL version
To flash the original stock you must get the sbf file from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php
And the motorola drivers from http://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/
And RSD Lite 5.7 from http://www.mediafire.com/?racaejnadym1q2g

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:

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

Defy Bricked no bootloader

I tried to flash a custom rom to a defy, but after flashing i got a bootloop.. After that i have tried everything to get a normal working installation but everything failed.
Now i am stuck with a phone that does not want to boot and even cannot get into the bootloader... So i cannot flash using RSD Lite.
Is there another way to unbrick this phone? Or is it end of story?

can you enter on CWM??
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App

1) Remove battery
2) Plug phone to PC
3) launch rsdlite (make sure rsdlite driver's is already working properly)
4) Press power and vol+ , and insert battery.
5) Defy screen might still blank but rsdlite would show status connected.
6) flash back your default sbf
7) boot into stock recovery and do factory reset.
8) reboot.
Note: if your defy is in full flash over gingerbread sbf, you're in trouble. Flash again any gingerbread sbf might help for quick resurrection. If your defy is in froyo, try flashing only froyo, otherwise if you're desperate, gingerbread sbf would help. You're warned for no possibility of downgrade.
Note 2: Battery must at least 80% and above to safely flashing and recovering process.

Your battery is fully loaded?
What happens when you plug in the loader (powercord with adapter in AC plug) when phone is off, is there a battery loading icon appearing?

Last thing you can try is to turn the phone on with vol down but i think you have allready tried that.

I have the same problem. I come from 2ndinit cm10 and wanted to revert back to cm7.2 but my defy failed to boot. After that I flashed FIXED.French.3.4.2-164.RETAIL.sbf
I hoped that might flash the kernel (home, back buttons were dark due to cm10). I got the red M back and a bootloop.
So I tried some sbf's I had on my hdd. Now the battery is at 3,3v and rsd lite doesn't get the phone. When I apply 5v (like the McGyver hack) the voltage drops to about 4v because the battery is being charged (dangerously I know).
Anyway rsd lite sees my defy again, I am able to flash. But when it should reboot, rsd sais PASS and the screen stays dark.
Connecting usb causes the charging led go on.
How can I bring the device back to life?
Thanks
Dennis

Hi, hold vol down and power, then make a factory reset.

That doesn't work. The screen stays black except I flash a sbf with externally powered battery.

I had this problem, try different sbf's. The first 2-3 that I tried which gave me a blank screen were too old (from 2010) and the last one was from 2011 which was successful. Try with sbf from 2011.

Do you still know what sbf's you have tried and which one did it's job?
Thank's for your answer though!

I tried the following one without success

even no bootloader text.
with charger i got white led.
then connected it to pc and RSD found it,
then flashed with this instruction:
there is some kind special fixed SBF on the link
[GUIDE] All-in-One Defy Beginner's guide
Method 2: (BIG thanks to Jebrew again for this one)
NOTE: You are going to need CM7 for this one. CM7 Stable version recommended.
Download this SBF and Flash it.
Root your phone.
Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery.
Reboot to CMW recovery, and wipe Data/Cache.
Install CM7 then install Google Apps.
Reboot an go into Stock Recovery (using the vol- button, not from Bootmenu).
Do a Data/Cache Wipe or you won't have any space when you're done.
Flash this Fixed SBF
Reboot into your nice new rom.
Do not Wipe Data anymore or you will have to start again.
You WONT be able to install full SBFs of any Éclair or Froyo since these Androids have lower CG Versions.

Did you try also this special fixed JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf from this guide ?
battery should not be low, otherwise RSD would not connect.

Yes, I took this sbf. Battery is ok. RSD lite is able to flash.
But when the phone should reboot, the screen stays black and the phone connects to RSD lite saying finished, pass.

[Q] Defy plus bricked from CM10

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??

[Q] Another bricked Defy Plus + General Questions

Hello and happy holidays!
I have recently bought a Defy+ and i wanted to root after about 2 weeks of use mostly for removing some bloadware and killing ads and more thingies...
As you can guess from this thread title i freaking bricked it...
So let me tell you what i have done until now.
A)I followed this one
http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/82806
so i can flash it because no program like SuperOneClick was working.
My baseband was somewhere in the mid of these 2 (something like 60 i can't recall anymore)
According to some posts there even another one with my baseband could follow the second procedure
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013 ) and end up with a rooted defy+.
I flashed it and was the screen stayed black... Well at the time i could thing that this was bad... I flashed the other 2 and i was waiting in vain...
B) after this complete failure came the funny part... I DONT REMEMBER anything about my stock sbf :angel: ... Seriously it didnt cross my mind to write it down.
So i started trying to flash it with the Unbrick your Defy+ guides.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828639
Tried the site http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php
i even tried this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820282 in case it had a good effect. Well it hadnt
Until now i am still in the company of a lovely black screen...
MY CONDITION NOW :
RSD 5.6 at first before B step went to 5.9.
1) Insert battery = black screen
2)Power button = black screen
3)Power button pressed with VOL + or - , insert battery = black screen!
4)My pc (win7) finds the phone + White Led
5)RSD detects it cause i can flash it. (about 10 times now...)
6)Phone can be charged (Thank you God)
7)Every single one sbf goes Finished- PASS...
Some more information.
- I am from Greece and the Rom used Greek(localization stuff)
- The Rom had Blur (God Damn it)
- Android was 2.3.6
/EDIT
-RSD report that i have Bootloader version v0x000910 on phone...
Android Play store reports my Defy+ as "Vodafone Motorola MB526". (Should i go for Vodafone singed packages?)
I have read almost any thread for the broken Defy+ but the real problem is that i can not recall my stock sbf
And the questions from here...
a) Is there a way to see my bootloader version while in this messed up state? (and does it even matter?)
b) If it was a Vodafone Blur there would some dinstict features i could have seen? ( so i can start flashing vodafone sbf again...)
c) http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php has only full sfb right?
d) Suppose i had a v6 sfb,If i tried a higher sfb version wouldnt the phone worked?
e) I have tried all the http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php that is Retail Central Europe (GR_SIGN) but i have failed should i tried them again?
-EDIT- (forgot questions after my chrome crashed)
f) Should i try all 2.3.6 Roms from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
g) DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.x . This x does it play any role? If anything fails should i try the last chinese one(DFPRC_U_4.5.3) ?
I am sorry for the long post but i am a little at loss here...
Thank you for your time even if you have just read all this and dont know anything

Well i tried about 6 sbf with dfp 231. From DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN that is used for bl7 root (the first one that made the black screen my lovable partner) to British/retail CEE/unknown/ o2 / vodafone /german / nordic and nothing happened. All Finish /pass and all black screen + white led.

RSD report that i have Bootloader version v0x000910 on phone. I hope this can help in some way...
I decided to try all the 2.3.6 sbfs... let's see...

Hm...
i just flashed

and phone stuck at reboot manually your phone. and now is dead. Cant connect to pc. nice...

You may have ran out of battery. If the dfp 231 flashing resulted in a black screen after a data wipe then you should try selecting the blank flash option. Also try a different cable. If still there's a problem then it'd reckon it's hardware failure
About the boot loader code, yeah it's fine but unfortunately is no help

My speculations was also that i am out of battery so i ordered an external battery charger from ebay just to be sure.( i have seen the mcgyer way but i am afraid to do it cause everything are going south at the moment so just to be sure )
I have also came across the idea of the factory cable. From the threads here in xda there is a user who actually tried one on a defy (MB525) so i am thinking of ordering one of these.
NEW INFO. Android Play store reports my darling dead Defy+ as "Vodafone Motorola MB526". I think i should turn to Vodafone Blur singed packages. What do you think?

you say "blank flash"
ok, i tell phone in OFFmode wich mean phone is stop, out of function
usb cable you can check it with a MAVO device if is good or not
ps.for more succes try a pc with XP system or change the usb port
reinstall the drivers if the pc doesnt see the phone

I will change the usb and i ll reinstall the drivers.
Thank you for the info on the term!
I will wait for the power to charge and i will try again.

And btw, blank flash is to be selected from rsd file flash/flex options

So i ll choose it before i flash.Ok i ll try it that too.
I am currently waiting my external battery wall charger and my factory cable from ebay.
I used the pc usb charge all night trick and nothing happened... :crying:
So i will wait to charge the battery by normal means and then if this also fails i will try for the factory cable.
Anyone has any thoughts on the factory cable?

Mcgyer trick is the factory cable, using which one can flash without battery

Wait.Factory cable loads directly the bootloader while Mcgwer trick just gives power to the phone.
And i think factory cable its safer when you use it because the phone is actually waits to be given a 5V supply in that pin and there is not a chance of frying anything,
I think... :S

Boot into bootloader "power+vol up"

Battery down cannot progamn"

The problem is that i can no longer boot to anything. THE only thing that my defy+ does is the white led when connected to pc. nothing else. nothing at all.
And the battery,power button, vol + or vol - doesnt work with nothing because i can only stare at the blank screen of my defy+...
:crying:

Pull battery out ,Hold vol. Up connect to usb ..push battery in
