Thanks men... but i got an answer that helped me out from twa_priv
"You need to wipe in Stock (Motorola) recovery, which is always there.
Shutdown the phone and then:
power + vol down
then push volume up and down at the same time"
at first there is just an android with a triangle but then you should do the vol up and down at the same time and there will be a stock motorola recovery!
thanks for everyone that helped me out with this stuff!

Did you flash the correct sbf?
How long are you stuck at the Motorola logo? Give a bit more information =P
It's most likely not bricked as it's almost impossible to brick the defy.. (I've never heard of it)
Please help

Red or Green Lens? Defy or Defy+?
If Red Lens then you can use Defy or Defy+ build straight from Froyo after installing 2nd init.
If Red Lens Defy with Defy+ build, you will need a battery fix
If Red Lens Defy with Defy build, nothing else needs to be installed
If Green Lens Defy, you can only use Defy build. Nothing else needs to be installed.
If Defy+ You can only use defy build, nothing else needs to be installed.

I believe that little android guy is the stock recovery. From what I remember you hold both volume buttons and it takes you into stock recovery.
Unfortunately, you will no longer have 2nd init installed, which allows for CWM recovery, so you can't flash a zip from there.
How long does it stay stuck on the blur logo? Maybe you're just not waiting long enough? (Stupid question I know, but some people complain after 2 minutes, the first boot can take a long time!)
Try looking at This thread and see if the link which is in this post will work to download the Taiwanese SBF. For me it doesn't seem to load
Edit: - Oh the Taiwanese SBF did eventually download. Took about 5 minutes with the tab open loading. I've uploaded it to my Dropbox so you can download from there... should be a bit faster!

Thanks for helping me out....
The motorola logo stays around for 20 seconds after with the Motorola boot animation starts.....
So i left my defy on for around 20 mins and nothing is happening its still playing the boot animation. !!
I havent yet downloaded the sbf link you have given me as i am at work now and will be able to do that only when i reach home.
Another thing i have noticed is that i am able to charge my defy....that means the rom is present and hopefully working !!
What say....???
Have you done Factory Reset????
1- turn off your phone (take the battery out and then put it back in)
2- press and HOLD the volume DOWN button + power button
3- Motorola logo appears first, then after a few seconds an 'android ROBOT logo' appears
4- press volume UP and DOWN buttons at once, quickly
5- from the menu choose 'factory reset/wipe-format data'
6- then do 'wipe cache'
7- then do a reboot
see if it helps and you are able to start the phone normally
Euro your awesome!!

Guys I have the same problem.
Phone was upgraded from Froyo to CM7 and took it fine. Played for a while in CM7 but decided to upgrade to CM10.
Followed the steps from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647
flashed foryo Kernel
Flashed CM10-20120924-NIGHTLY-mb525.zip
Flashed Google apps
Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik
Phone boots but gets stuck at Motorola logo and after blue and green light it loops back again to the same sequence.
It's a Defy with green lens and it had stock T-Mobile Froyo (rooted) before flash to CM7.
I'm now back to CM7 as CM10 didn't want to work.
sorry didnt get you

hey buddy...m sorry i didnt quite get you....
As per my understanding i believe your phone is working fine with CM7 installed and you want to install CM10 on your defy !!
am i correct !!
if you then let me make it clear that the latest CM10 build used a custom kernel made by quarx himself....it is not running a froyo or gb kernel...
so here is what you need to do....
1. simply factory reset your phone...clear cache and dalvik...
2. now flash the latest CM10 build
3. again...clear cache and dalvik...
4. and now let defy boot....first boot may take a longer time....
hope this works for u...if it does not...let me know...will b glad to help u...
Thanks

Yes, you are correct. the phone is working fine with CM7.
Factory reset, you mean from boot menu or the hard factory reset with holding volume keys (procedure posted above in this thread)?
The first time I actually tried, I did flash of CM10 without the prior kernel flash and it didn't work either.
so do I need any kernel flash or do I just flash it with CM10 and it should work?
I'll try again later today or tomorrow.
Thanks

Lots of us who had bootloops trying to flash CM10 24/09 with a BL5 base SBF solved the problem by flashing a BL6 base Froyo SBF.
But try a factory reset and flashing your stock T-Mobile Froyo first.
If your stock doesn't flash properly then it means you have inadvertently flashed something which updated your BL version to BL5.
I flashed the JDGC_U6.2.13.0 SBF which is BL6 and then I was fine.
Don't use this ROM though, just use it as a stepping-stone to install CM10.

Thanks a lottt.. :highfive:
- So I was updating to Quarx's 5th Nov build (2ndboot) and in the middle the flash my phone turned off and decided not to start up. (The battery WAS NOT drained)
- I started with this guide in order to get it back to life:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807899(I used the exact same files, even the sbf. I live in India and I couldn't find India's sbf in this list: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php)
- Everything went as excepted and I was back on 2.2.2, so I tried to flash Quarx's build again. (I installed gapps, and cleared everything twice, thrice). However, the phone stuck on a bootloop:
red Motorola logo -> blue led -> greend led -> blank screen -> repeat.I cleared the cache's, factory reset, etc etc. No use.
- So i followed the original method again to get back to 2.2.2 and then flashed ICS from Cyano's website. It worked! So I tried again to flash a CM10 release, but this time a PRE-2ndboot build - 24th Sep.
It didn't work either. So JellyBean is the evident problem, but it doesn't make any sense, right?
- I started agin and tried to flash a different sbf, I got to this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093352 and tried the sbf provided (they claim it to be the one for SEA, including India). However, even after doing a factory reset from the stock recovery and flashing this sbf, I got a brick. The phone won't start whatsoever. No bootloader, no recovery - zilch. Dead.
- I again went back to my original method and got back to ICS...Flashed JB -> Same bootloop as before.
- Somethings I have noticed:
1. On flashing, the internal memory shrinks to only 128MB. I tried a factory reset from within the phone, from custom recovery and from the stock recovery. The memory was still 128MB with about 40MB free.
2. When I return to stock, the phone is somehow pre-rooted. On running superOneClick it shows that it;s already rooted but I continue nonetheless.
3. I think MAYBE the low internal storage might be at fault since JB Gappa require a lot of space.. I have tried it with minimal gapps too.
4. I have flashed every sbf available for Asian countries...but the only one that works is the one from the first link provided.
5. The only thing I can do right now is get to 2.2.2 or ICS...So if someone can help me out, that's my current status.
PS - I have been at it for 3 straight days, so yea, I have tried just about everything and read every thread regarding this. I even had to jump start by battery once as it ran out in the middle of a sbf flash.
There s a chance you didn't installed JB the right way. Also you ca install it without Gaaps. Does 2nd boot got enabled in Bootmenu? Did you flashed the kernel accordingly?
if you have bl4 try one of my fixed sbf with 2ndboot
ex. 28.11JB.Quarx+jellyX.kernel
than make a data and cache format fom bootmenu
bootmenu/ CPU settings/ system tools/ format data and cache to ext3
reboot
hve the link in my signature
I think you need bl. 4 from an 2.3.4 sbf for defy
In my country there was as an official update to GB
Users posted prblems with bootloader 3 and 7 @ quarx cm10 2ndboot roms
MB525 red lense
Hi,
You can take one more try (if you wanna ) to flash 12.09 JB build - it shall work
If so then flash Nordic retail 2.2.2 or WE retail (U3_3.4.2-177 or 179 from here)and try again 2ndboot builds (for some sbfs the last pre 2ndboot, 24/09 was the first not working)
Flash then 5/12 and jb gapps, wipe dalvik cache and cache after flashing.
Concerning 128 MB free memory - I suppose you are talking about data partition, not a system. Of course it is too small - the same as prerooted phone - try another sbf
Okay, just to clear the air - I was running Quarx's 28th Nov build before this happened.
I solved the 128MB problem. I'm currently on ICS 4.0.4 on the 16/07 CM9 build. It now shows 1.7GB internal available.
The kernel version shows 2.6.32.9-gb08c3c8xxxx..xxx.
I'm going to try and flash the 5/11 CM10 build (2ndboot). But before that I would to confirm the procedure:
1. Custom recovery
2. Data/Factory Reset
3. Clear cahce, Dalvik cache
4. Flash 05-11
5. Flash gapps (?) gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip?
6. Clear cache, dalvik
7. Reboot
Should I go ahead with this?
PS. I reached my current state by flashing the sbf and firmware provided in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807899
I'll wait till someone approves of this, I don't want to brick it again.

Ok, so you flashed JORDN_U3_97.21.51, which means 24/09 and 2ndboot builds will not work.
They could work before when you had 2.2.2 on board.
You need another full sbf, and as you flashed BL5 it means you cannot go back to froyo. You shall find working BL5 sbf or go to BL6 one like U3_4.5.1-134_DFP137 or 139
And procedure above is correct
Ps. Method from post given by you was found out a long time ago, when some ppl flashed first gingerbread and then needed to go back to froyo. It is not a proper one for all defy users with still valid warranty in most of regions

These are the sbf's I found pertaining tp your specifications:
http://i.imgur.com/muQdT.jpg
EDIT: But they are all in the DEFY-PLUS repository...can I flash them?
So I can use anyone of them?
Also, I don't know much about BL versions...So should I just download one of the above sbf's and flash it using RSD? Do I need a nandroid backup to go with it too?
The procedure I would follow would be:
1. Factory reset, clear cache's
2. Go into bootloader menu
3. Flash above sbf using RSD
4. Reboot ??
Should that suffice?
First: if you are red lense it is ok to flash BL6
If you are green lense, to have your camera working, you will need 2ndboot builds (CM9, 10 or 7)
You will probably need red lens battery fix to show correct percentage, no matter you have green or red lense then.
You can flash it even later, after flashing CM10 and gapps and checking how it works
I would choose Nordic retail
Sometimes you can have problems with rooting with SuperOneClick (version 2.3) - force close Motorola Portal before rooting and it shall work ok then
And nandroid backup is not very useful when changing BL version, at least you will not be able to restore all
I have a green lens MB525.
So I'm downloading Nordic Retail for MB526 and will flash it using RSD.
After that, I can straight away flash any cm10 build right? (like the latest 5th Nov)

Yes, just normal procedure with rooting and 2ndinit installation, then flashing CM10 and jb 4.1 gapps with all proper wipings
And as mentioned above probably battery fix will be required for proper percentage - you will see

Okay!
Gonna flash it tonight...Finger's crossed. =D
UPDATE: Flashed the Nordic Retail successfully. On stock 2.3.6 right now. Going to flash CM10-20121205-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip
UPDATE: I tried rooting it using SuoerOneClick v2.3.3.0 and even killed Moto Helper from PC and chose 'None' from the USB connection menu on the device. This is what I got:
http://i.imgur.com/cokl3.jpg and after reboot http://i.imgur.com/arZzd.jpg
SuperOneClick stopped responding after that. I waited 10 mins but nothing happened...No input requested from the device. tried it again but with the same results.
What should I do? Try z4root?

UPDATE: I tried rooting it using SuoerOneClick v2.3.3.0 and even killed Moto Helper from PC and chose 'None' from the USB connection menu on the device. This is what I got:

SuperOneClick stopped responding after that. I waited 10 mins but nothing happened...No input requested from the device. tried it again but with the same results.
What should I do? Try z4root?

You can try z4root, though I rooted it with SOC 2.3.1 without problem. It seems that rooting didn't even start. Try choose zergRush instead of Auto
Note that USB is changing to Motorola Portal every several seconds if you do not kill it from a phone and it stops the process. Go to app settings, choose all apps, force close Motorola Portal (or freeze it - do not remember if such option is available)
Have you choosed USB debug mode?
Eventually try factory reset from settings before rooting

Okay...I rebooted the phone and the PC and re-installed the Moto drivers...success!
Installing SndInitDefy_2.3.apk
UPDATE: Booted into custom recovery. Factory/data wipe. Cache, Dalvik wipe. Installing CM10-20121205-NIGHTLY-mb526.

You are lucky :laugh: - for many users (probably depends on sbf flashed) SndInit 2.3 does not work, I still use 1.4.2
You can also flash this zip - it changes the ramdisk to the older version and helps in battery life

I guess I had some luck coming my way after a week of real hard times...
I'm currently restoring all my apps... Do I install this like any other zip i.e. clear cache + dalvik -> flash -> clear cache + dalvik ?
Also, since we are on the topic of performance, what are the optimum CPU settings?
I'm currently using:
1200,900,600,300 - 62,47,32,17
Interactive CPU Governor
SIO I/O Scheduler
No changes in the Memory Managment options (i.e. zRam, purginf of assests and kernel samepage merging - all are turned off)
16bit transparency turned off.

The ramdisk zip is to be installed in a standard way, like any other zip, probably doesn't require wiping caches, but probably
I usually use zRam (18%) - I didn't notice any bigger battery drain.
KSM off
WiFi - change to never when screen is off - you can have wifi on all the time without special battery drain
And choose proper baseband for you region
And CPU settings are ok as above
Defy on BL6
Ok guys I give up. I read and tried pretty much all the options net offered. Here is the problem:
I have green lens MB525. I bought it second hand in INDIA, it was running ICS. I switched to CM7 and it was working flawlessly for good 6 months. I did a reset and then it got stuck at recovery and showered error in some directories. So i triedro redo the CM7 procedure and loaded zip on root of SDcard. It didn;t changed anything. I did flashing and wiping the dalvik cache and memory, tried again, and again it was the same story.
Then i tried trying different SBF and it always used to get stuck at logo, i didn't bothered reading more about issue and stupid me flashed JORDN_U3_97.21.51. After that it started showing error in bootloader. It shows bootloader 09.10, Err: A5,69,35,00,27. I tried to use previous SBF and it then completely bricked it, only white light and black screen. Only when i again flashed it with JORDN_U3_97.21.51 it showed white motorola logo and bootloader version and error. I read this thread and tried the two firmwares using BL5 and BL6 in that order and its logo had changed to RED Motorola logo, but again the same bootloader menu with its version and error.
I had battery issues too, since i have been thinking and trying on it for past 10 days. Since i have battery charger, i used to charge the battery separately and plug it back in before flashing using RDSlite 5.6.
As of now i am stuck with a paperweight which i can only flash. I tried pressing down volume button to get into recovery but no matter what button i press it always ends up in bootloader. All help will be appreciated.

Ok, so you flashed JORDN_U3_97.21.51, which means 24/09 and 2ndboot builds will not work.
They could work before when you had 2.2.2 on board.
You need another full sbf, and as you flashed BL5 it means you cannot go back to froyo. You shall find working BL5 sbf or go to BL6 one like U3_4.5.1-134_DFP137 or 139
And procedure above is correct
Ps. Method from post given by you was found out a long time ago, when some ppl flashed first gingerbread and then needed to go back to froyo. It is not a proper one for all defy users with still valid warranty in most of regions

@Vycas
The problems might be several, unfortunately even hd problem, but try this:
- try different USB cable, different computer, different USB socket - the problem can arise when signal transmission is poor. Sometimes reinstalling of motorola drivers also helps
- if above does not help try Linux computer instead of Windows one
Regarding sbf - well, as you received error after each sbf flashing there could be a hope that you still may have BL4 (but also you may have BL6) - start your above mentioned trials with BL4 sbf, which will give you camera also with CM7
Hi folks!
I think I've messed up my workphone (Defy MB525) in some wierd way.
I had Cyanogen Mod 10 installed and should only do an update to another nightly, but by mistake I chose a cm7-file instead and flashed it. After that I got stuck in a bootloop, whatever ROM i tried to install or how I did :/
I then tried to reset the phone with an original SBF-file using RSD Lite 5.6. The sbf-file I am using is JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf (found in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828639 first post)
My intention fo flash the sbf-file was to restore the phone to its original state and from that point re-rooting it and after that install cm10 again.
But now to my problem, I just cant to do anything with the phone. The screen is all black and I cannot do anything :/
RSD Lite recognizes the phone and I can flash sbf-files to it. It goes to 100% progress but when it is supposed to boot up after flashing, it takes just a second or so...and RSD Lite then says "Passed" on result leaving me with the black screen yet again.
Only time I can see something on the screen is during the flashing. The sceen says "SW update In progress...". Other then that, always black:crying:
Really really stuck here and dont know what to do. If anyone has an idea and the time to help me, I would be in ever grateful!
Best regards,

Download that, unrar it to a folder
Flash Firmware 1, let the phone boot up and done.
If you want ROOT, enter to Motorola Recovery (Volume up + power, when the Android appears press Volume up + Volume down) then factory reset and wipe data, reboot phone on BL mode (Volume down + power) and flash Firmware 2.

I managed to get the phone working again using your files and this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
Then I got the problem with 128mb internal memory, but solved it.
Now I have cm9 up and running with no issues. I tried Epsylons CM10 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1768702 but it lagged and were really really slow for some reaseon :/
Epsylon builds are outdated, you should try Quarx CM10 or CM10.1

Thanks, had some issues installing Quarx CM10. Never managed to get it up and running, might've been a kernel issue or something. The led just turns RED :/
On my Google Nexus CM10 was more smooth then 10.1, so I figured I'd better try CM10 on the defy due to weaker hardware. But I might have wrong there since I havent tried.
Did you wipe cache?

Make sure that you are using latest Quarx build (http://quarx2k.ru/cm10.1-nightly-defy+/2.6.32/cm-10.1-20130415-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip)
What OS are you using right now? no problem mate
That is the file I've tried but for some reason I just cant get passed the red motorola-logo. the phone gets stuck in a bootloop like this; Red Motorola-Logo, LED turns green...Red Motorola-logo...and then it loops like that. Dont know what to do :/
I use Win 7 x64.

I think I give up. Dont understand what I am doing wrong. Have rooted and installed custom roms on htc hero, htc sensation xe, htc wildfire, galaxy nexus..but this phone. Neever had even close to the issues I'm having with this one :/
I followd your steps on installing cm10. But when both the rom and gapps are installed and I reboot it reboot the following happends; red motorola-log, blue led - red led. And bootloop. Nothing else :/
Read somewhere that I have to install a kernel separately, is that true?

It is advised to wipe cache and Dalvic cache after installing zip files.
Moreover, when I installed full Gapps I got system partition full, so instead I installed minimal Gapps:

I simply dont know if I'm doing something wrong (think not) or if my phone is messed up. But I get the same result after following your guides several times. I cant get passed the motorola-logo after flashing cm10. The Led turns red (indicating somethings wrong?) and then reboots again. Keeps going adn going :/
(this thread might also be called "A series of unfortunate flashes")
So, i was trying to upgrade my (obviously rooted) defy from a CM10.1 to CM11. Since this upgrade gave me the error message "set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed", i tried installing CM10.2 to see if it makes a difference and that worked. But i still wasn't able to install CM11. After another unsuccessful flash of CM11, i didn't remember to flash a working rom back on it again and instead rebooted the device. By doing, i was not able to get into recovery mode anymore. In fact, my phone just showd the red Motorola sign and seemingly did nothing. I was though able to boot into flash mode (by holding down the VOL-UP button) as well as into the motorola recovery (by holding down the VOL-DOWN button). The latter did not allow to flash anything, but i was able to delete the cache and so on.
So i decided to try and flash an sbf file. I downloaded sbf_flash.sh (running linux) and i downloaded the "Retail DE, AT, CH" sbf-file from hxxp://sbf.droid-developers.org. I got the device into flash mode and ran sbf_flash.sh which ran smoothly and rebooted the phone.
Now the phone won't power up at all. When i connect it to usb, the white led is on, but otherwise it's not giving me any sign of life.
Is there hope or should resign by smacking myself on the head?
regards.

Who would have thunk? RSD Lite did recognize the phone and when it started flashing, the phone showed

So, now what? Which sfb file should i flash?
Anyway, thank you so very much!

Yes, root again if needed.
I saw your other post in the cm11 thread about how your phone died.
I remember reading somewhere in the forums that you should go to cm10.2 before installing the updated recovery, and then install cm11.
I'm not sure if that's 100% accurate, and I couldn't find the link (sorry).
Couldn't hurt, though, seeing as you'd just have to do a few extra ROM flashes.
Good luck!

Root, install 2ndinit, install CM10, install CM10.2, install update-recovery.zip, REBOOT (without any wipe), install CM11 and GApps. Hope it helps :angel:

I had a simiilar problem - somehow after a similar failed CM11 install, I pressed that "reboot" button and my mb525 was dead. I did as suggested here, Except I happened to have CM10.1 not CM10 on the SD.
However I had a lot of trouble getting a successful boot after installing update-recovery.zip, and then also after installing CM11 with the updated recovery.
Now I have a great well-running defy on CM11. I don't exactly why it succeeded when it did - just repeatedly wipe and install and wipe until it worked.
The defy really runs well on CM11 - very responsive - it is robust both in HW and SW! - maybe I'll myke it my main phone again! (before the S3 or the xperia V) - Samy just ain't interested in my S3 - the community provides the same Android version for my defy as I have on my nexus 7 2013!!!
