My defy wont charge .. showing question mark - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi i installed CM10 aug 02 build from quarx last week .. Everything was fine ... but when i installed the latest Aug 04 build i am unable to install the battery fix and my battery is dead. Now if i want to charge from wall cable it shows a ? mark but it can still go into recovery. And if i try to charge using usb it will boot but its not at all holding the charge. I tried repeatedly to factory wipe and install the battery fix. Some how its not getting installed. Can somebody help me with this. I have seen similar threads but they were related to new batteries or chargers. In my case everything is from motorola.
waiting anxiously ...
Thanx in advance

Did you checked if the download was for Defy or Defy+(mb525 or mb526)?
Which Defy model did you have?

I downloaded mb526 and i have Bayer device Defy

Flash the battery fix, you can find link in numerous threads. Quickly you can check in Auris thread for quarx ICS builds in general section.

Now he can't, unless the phone is loading bootloader before showing the no batery error.
Can you confirm if your LED blinks blue before the mensage appears??
If Yes, press vol Down when the light appears and flash the Battery fix from Auris.
If No, I think you will have to flash a new SBF. You can try to flash the easy_recovery.sbf from m11kkaa. Use it to flash the battery fix and be happy .
To enter the easy recovery, you have to pull the battery off, wait 5 seconds, hold vol down + power, put the battery back. When the green android appears, press both vol up and vol down.

Have u got green or red lense?
my green lense works with every epsylon and quarx build without any special setting or apps like battery fix.

solved
Thanx guys for your replies.
I was able to enter the recovery . so i started experimenting with various builds. I installed epy's latest build over the same kernel without any battery fix and it started charging again. so i left it as it is without any change. Why breaking it when its working ..
i thank one and all for they replies. You guys rock

Help!!!!!

Hi
I need help big time. I had CM 10 running on my defy no probs at all. I tried a stupid thing to back to a stock rom and now I cant get back to install CM 7 or CM10.
I even had my battery die during the process and had to do the Mcgyver trick and it worked. I live in the UK and tried the british retail and vodafone roms and both caused the defy to die and not respond / power up, anything..
The only rom I have found so far to work is JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf. it works,. Then I can install 2nd init and root with Super one click. Though after I do that and try to install CM7, 10 I just get black screen and white LED.
Help.
Can someone walk me through the process again and provide links to files
Many thanks in advance
chris
Make sure that when you flash cm7, you flash the one for you kernel(froyo or gb). Also wipe data after flashing.

You can try THIS. Another user had the same problem as you and he got his defy running after following that guide.
stefa_vr6 you are a GENIUS

stefa_vr6 you sir are a genius. This was exactly what I wanted. I flashed the rom in your post, rooted and installed 2nd init and fom there flashed CM10. So now up and running again.
Have a case of virtual beer on me sir.
My only other problem is now that I probably need a new battery as I had to do the battery hack as my phone died during an earlier update and is displaying " ?" in the battery display.
Thanks again

Use only the Zip According to Your Defy Battery. In the Battery label says what is the capacity, for example if you have a Stock battery for DEFY not + use 1500mAh ZIP.
But if you buy an 1700mAh Battery Use the zip according to this battery.
I have defy + battery ,lithium polymer HF5X 1700mah and wont charge 100%, loaded only up to 84%. I use Defy with rom froyo 2.2,what do you recommend?!

[Q] Menu button light is not working :crying:

I am running CM10 latest Quarx build on my Defy+ with bl7 after installing the update, menu button light is not working :crying: Is there any way to get it back I tried rolling it back to the CM7 but no use. Any help is really appreciated. Sorry for my bad English...!!
I have the same problem, and the exact same button
I think the led behind that button is not working anymore...
Try to install the CM as indicated in the topics (respect the steps). Do it from begining carefully (flash the stock ROM).
Same here

If I understood right you wanna install CM7.2. For that to work is good that after flashing stock ROM and installing 2ndinit to reboot and from stable recovery to format data/cache and dalvik on ext3 followed by flashing custom CM7.2 (I suggest you to try another CM7.2 mod).
Thanx for the reply

My actual problem is not with the Rom. Menu button light stopped glowing right after shifting from cm7 to cm10 :crying: Sorry for my bad English.

I think the high brightness settings would have burned it
Then there is no way to get it back......!! Wish I didn't mess with that settings....

I didn't messed with buttons lights, and still got 3 burned LEDs. The first to go was "search". A month after that, the "menu" button went dark. Now the "back" is gone too. Just "home" remains with light. I don't think it's a software issue... More likely a project flaw or bad manufacturing (I still use CM7, no tweaks).
Last week I also got a "stain" (a lot of bad pixels) on the center of the screen. Just turned the phone off and put it in the freezer for 12 hours. After that, it was new again (lucky me). Yeah, the famous trick works folks (unfortunally, not for the capacitive LEDs though).

I'm inclined to agree. It seems fairly common. My menu button LED failed when my Defy+ was around 6 months old and completely stock. I put it down to a hardware failure.
Time for me to claim the Warranty
I will unroot the device and will claim the warranty...!! :good: But only problem is I have to wait untill the device returns back and have to use that ****sung again sorry Typo Samsung* :crying:

Are you SURE it is not charging? The logo goes off but the phone normally keeps charging.
Which kernel are you on?

I just tried it on mine with battery at 96%. Turn phone off, connect power and I get a battery logo for about 4 secs then nothing. I waited 15 minutes and on start up my battery was at 100% - so it doesn't LOOK like anything is happening but it definitely charged while off.

You should have posted this in the cm12.1 thread instead of creating a new thread.
