Defy with hard brick

Hello, I defy this with hard brick
what can I do? sbf've tried but all I use no longer has the motorola logo appeared, after flashing the screen is just black ...
I tried flashing with Linux without success ... I can not enter the mode recevery
have some way to go with Linux defy the recovery?

Can u enter Bootloader ?
if yes use the tool sbf_flash to flash a froyo sbf...
u need to wipe data after flashing sbf or it will bootloop

Check your battery charge and i think if RSD lite detects ur phone, then u can surely flash. u must able to see the moto logo..use some sbf s which u should flash after ur phone becomes dead!!...
If ur phone's battery is down, i think u should follow some dangerous method...i m not able to recall that method...but check "android development " section..u l find it
And dont try flashing a lower version sbf..u l get into trouble....use the version u had before ur phone became dead....try deleting ur cache/user data before flashing a new sbf........

If you can enter the bootloader then you're saved.

Your Defy is not bricked.
Use RDS lite and load any SBF that is convinient for you.
Then use keys vol down and power -> when you see "!" mark press simultinuosly vol down + vol up --> clean data and reboot.
After reboot you'll be able to enter the system you loaded by RDS lite.
Than use Gingerbreak and Sndinit and you can enter the bootloader.
Good luck.

I have used several sbf, except 2.3. I defy CM7 and was given this problem, I can not remember why it is time ...
Now I spend sbf and he did not react, when it finishes and says he is restarting rsd, the defy not only erases and resets after a few seconds the rsd lite appears PASS
I can only access the bootloader, the recovery can not

have you resolved your problem? iam in the same boat... sbf flashing has left me with a flatline... black screen...

noo man

guys, I managed to get into recovery mode, I wipe and data cache, but does not solve anything, it crashes when it appears the logo of motorola flashing 'Blur'
used JORDN_U3_97.21.51

try to get the right software
1- RSD lite V5.3.1
2- Motorola drivers
3- JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTNORD_P003_A001_HWp3_Service1FF

You are not doing it properly. First of all make sure your phone is powered off. Then press the vol up key and keep pressing it. Then press the power key. Do not relese the vol up key till you see the bootloader.

you seem to be pressing vol-.
you have to press vol+ and then power on button or press vol+ and battery insert

I try press vol- before put batery, before press power on, before insert charger... I try press vol + too ... and nothing
I tried the mokey method
when i put the charger does not show the battery charging screen appears only the M ...
Was it to heaven of cell phones?

Remove cable and battery hold down volume + insert battery press power on, your now in bootloader ,now you can release Vol up and insert cable.

are your vol buttons working properly?

To use the RST, you must use the Vol + button. If done correctly the motorola logo will not appear.

All started when the Defy began to restart on the startup MotoBlur screen, I went into recovery mode (vol-) and restore the original settings, but continued with the same problem. I tried to install via RSD Lite the Froyo rom, the Defy booted and stopped on the screen where need to enter the MOTOBLUR account, but he came back to restart.
After I entered the bootloader (vol+) with the rom JORLA, started normally and the screen to set up the account MOTOBLUR he restarts (again) with the same problem. I removed the battery to enter the bootloader to put Froyo rom again but no longer entered the bootloader, I tried the recovery menu and also failed. I put the charger and nothing, stay on the screen with the M in the center, it blink and does not leave him, I put in the USB but a white light turn on and the computer does not recognize anything.
I don't know what I do.
Sorry for my english ...

I've a similar problem on a NEW Motorola Defy...
...can't go in Bootloader!!!
I've pressed Power and Vol+ BEFORE insert battery and doesn't work!
Recovery Mode works but I can't use RSD Lite to flash (is possible without recovery???)
My phone is a Defy Mini with red lens, 600 MHz CPU (so it isn't a Plus) and 1700mAH battery (like Plus?).
Is a italian phone branded by TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile), maybe they made some "lock"?

try this:
start and set RSDlite with your favorite sbf
than conect the phone in OFFMODE
if the RSDlite see your phone (something like this"S Flash 3630)
start flash the sbf
if not, try to charge the battery(could be empty) and try again
if even so RSDlite not see the phone NOW you have a problem
good luck

Hi!
Sorry it's my first question here on XDA forum.
I have a Defy with CWM, and Stock ROM. Can I use format system partition, and then flash a Custom ROM from a zip file in CWM? Or should I use just wipe data/cache, then flash a Custom ROM? Which is better?
Thanks

First: You posted in wrong thread, this thread is only for that defy's not going in locked on M logo and no recovery & bootloader. 2nd: You don't need to format system rom, because cwm wipe it while flashing ROM zip. Just wipe data/cache/dalvik and you'll fine.

Has anyone saved this problem ? i`m into the same situation...

Try monkey method - hold volup + power and when insert battery. Helped for me once. If this method will not help try this - 1.remove phone battery from defy, 2.plug charger to socket ,but not in the phone, 3. Holding volup button plug charger in phone without battery, 4. It should enter in bootloader but with blinking VATTERY LOW. CANNOT PROGRAM, 5. put battery in phone, 6. Reflash with rsd lite. If above metods not helping - still moto logo - mainboard fried, when only one solution - service center. Good luck. :thumbup:

You verified the CG version before flashing the full SBF ??

you can still flash a new rom threw rsd lite.
I would say you done the same as me I tried to flash a version with a lower version and it wouldnt boot at all.
Power the phone on holding the volume up button and connect the USB, It wont show the bootloader screen but RSD lite should say its connected.
You might have to plug it in and out of the usb cable a few times (well I did) till RSD lite connects to it.
You will have to find out what version you had previously and flash the same version or higher (try to stay on the same version if you can)

Dunno if stock recovery would help:
How do I enter Recovery Mode?!: With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear, if you are on Éclair the menu should appear without having to press anything
This is a copy/paste from all in one guide

if its like mine the screen does not show anything, you cant get into bootloader or recovery screen. Well I think it goes into bootloader as RSD lite can read it but it will not show anything on the screen.
I think my problem was trying to install the CM9 kernel as I used the same process and left out flashing the CM9 kernel and it worked perfect, Lucky some one that helped me get my phone working again suggested this to me.
So I now have ICS working by just installing it and Gapps and left out the CM9 kernel
Not sure if that is what you are trying to do but you should be able to flash a new rom with what I said above. Just making sure its the same BL version as your previous install

Thz for all your help,I can fix my defy+ since I using bl7 sbf
I think I will root it and flash other rom soon

[Q] hard reset on defy doest appere to help!

hey,
i tried today to change my rom for defy from 2.2.2 to 2.1 (doesnt matter why..)
after let it go to 100% and then he sad please power off the phone manualy
i power off and it doest reply, i close the rsd and then just the moto logo apper .. i tried hard reset but it doesnt help to the sitiuation.. the room was 36mb but the nand have a 100+ mb and i didnt touch the nand or put it in the sd card - is that matter?
ty for helping, niv~!

you bricked your phone by trying to downgrade the bootloader version. flash back the 2.2.2 sbf and it should work again.

boot up to the bootloader (when turned off: vol up+power button long press), and after that connect to pc. maybe this way it will recognize your phone. does the white led light up when connected to pc?

volume UP not down the triangle with the exclamation mark is the stock recovery, you can access that by pressing vol up+down at the same time at the triangle. the bootloader is a terminal-like black screen. but be careful: without any working rom you cant charge your phone, and if the battery is low, you cannot flash anymore. good luck!

Boot into Bootloader mode (power-on while holding Vol-Down)
You may need to flash an SBF to get going again.

Pull the battery and reinsert it while holding Vol-Down. This usually works as a power-up.
Do it while connected to a PC. The PC should sound the "device connected" sound.
If the white LED comes on, it usually means the phone is OFF and charging. No LED usually means it's ON and in BL mode (you should get the white text on black screen, but you won't if you have flashed a 'bad' SBF).
Try this a few times.
If nothing else is broken you should be able to get into BL mode and flash an SBF.
But your power button needs to be mechanically fixed at some stage, or your phone isn't going to be much use.

The phone was working before i tried to update my cwm to twrp i didnt flash an sbf. The power button works fine it must be stuffed on the mainboard i took it apart and the button works fine, why do i need the power button for anyway?

now can you turn on your phone? the power btn works?
try flashing official sbf , root and 2nd-init again.
p.s make sure you have above 20% batt or you gonna spend your time just like me plugging the defy mobo directly to 5 volts.

OK so if the phone will boot into recovery it SHOULD also boot into bootloader ?
Maybe I confused OP by saying hold "Vol Down" when I meant "Vol UP" ???
Anyway, OP will probably not get too far without a functional Power button.

Are you SURE? I have had Bootloader work even though nothing shows on screen (when I flashed the wrong SBF). The screen was black but RSD could still "see" the device.
Defy has a locked bootloader (cannot be overwritten), so the fact that you can boot into recovery indicates the bootloader is still there and working. Maybe the problem is in your version of RSD Lite, or your version of drivers installed on the PC, or in your USB cable?
Try uninstalling the drivers from the PC, then rebooting, then attaching the phone and insert battery while holding Vol-Up. This SHOULD reinstall the BL drivers to the PC. Try another USB cable - I have had cables which work for charging but not for data transfer.
