Hi, i have a work CM9 ICS build from epsy.
All works good, but today i want to flash a SBF to my Defy. But when i try to go to stock recovery (press vol-down and power button combo), it stuck at M Red Logo.
So, please, help me... how can i access the Stock Recovery?
To flash sbf you want to enter bootloader not recovery, so hold vol up and then turn on.

Hey,
My defy freezes after installing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161110 this Rom in GB+ Version on my defy. I previously had cm7 2.3.7 on it. I forgot to delete all user files, and as i said now it freezes @ bootlogo. If i press vol down, and power i get to the recovery logo, but tapping in the bottem right or anywhere on the screen does not help.
what can i do?

flash the stock sbf,and start from scratch !!
Hi all
I use to run cm-7.2 Jordan without any issues. Decided however to upgrade and test cm10 but since I didn't find it stable enough I decided to downgrade back to 7.2. The flash succeed without issues but when I reboot I get stuck with the Google logo and the os never boot up.
I tried to go through cm.7.1 but no luck there, same issue.
Any clue how i can resolve this?

Thanks for quick reply. I tried that and the phone loaded a android character with a triangle and a exclamation mark. I don't have a good feeling about that

That's good sorry forget to say you need to hold VOL dwn& Vol Up at the same time then wipe all...
Good luck
Exactly the same problem here, cannot downgrade to CM7.
Any good news?
Flash official froyo (I used ver 2.2.2)sbf via rsdlite. Root it using superoneclick and install 2init bootmenu 2.0. In custom recovery do full factory wipe follow with restore your nandroid 7.2 if you have them. If it booting hang at start screen, flash any froyo fixed sbf that contain the froyo kernel(optional). This way all your previous user data will still be intact.

So the recovery won't work and will have to start with SBF. Will wait until I have the computer environment to do so.
Thanks!

Okey I have now flashed 2.2.2 sbf with RSDlite and after flash the phone still hangs during boot, now with the ugly Motoroly M instead of the Google logo from CM. So I guess I am back to square one, any idean anyone

Wipe all from stock recovery that's you needed to do btw before installing cm7.... Sbf is not needed.
Go to stock recovery and wipe all your ROM should boot...
Let's Go ^_^

Factory reset from stock bootmenu again. If it still hangs, flash sbf again with another factory reset afterwards just to be safe. BTW, I've had times where 3+ sbf flashes with factory resets were needed to get the phone to boot again.
One problem you might be having is if you formatted /data and /cache to ext4. Maybe it was just me, but I had to reinstall CM10, change back to ext3, flash sbf, then install CM7. Changing to ext3 and flashing CM7 didn't work -- same problem you're having. I wasn't sure if ext4 was the problem so I made sure I changed back to ext3 before sbf flashing. I'm not sure if the sbf reformats the partitions or just wipes them like a factory reset. If you've already flashed the sbf, then you can't install a CM10 rom to change back to ext3... Worse come to worse, you maybe able to install one of the custom sbf's with CM10 custom kernel preinstalled, change to ext3, flash official sbf, factory reset, then install CM7. I haven't looked into them because I make my own custom sbf's .
Bravo users are having this exact problem and my solution is to ensure that /data and /cache are ext3, flash the sbf and start from scratch -- the only guaranteed way I know of to fix this problem. Another Bravo user had the same problem and managed to fix it by changing some /data permissions over adb -- the user didn't specify the exact things done so I'm waiting on a reply with more details.

Okey good advice.
Here is where I am at now. I have flashed a number of different SFBs and I end up with the same situation every time. RSDLIte finish the process nicely but the phone get stuck with the flashing M. When I reboot manually I get passed the M and to the Android text/logo and there I get stuck.
I get advice to do a factory reset but how do I do that. The CW bootloader is gone and I can't get to the original boot loader either. I hit volume down and power, get to the triangle screen where I am supposed to hit the right bottom corner but nothing happens.
So I cant boot the phone to get into a menu where I can change to ext3 if this is a problem.
Please help, how can I get further?
Since I have no luck restoring stock rom I now have the following plan.
Install ClockWorkMod recovery with ADB.
Using recovery to do a factory reset and clear cache.
Flash a CM10 ROM (or any rom that will successfully boot up my phone).
From that start over to downgrade to CM9 to find a stable ROM.
The question I have now is if I will be able to use ADB with the USB connection mode I get from the bootloader (volume up+pwr button)? Or does ADB actually require that I can boot my phone and go into some other USB mode such as UMS or MTP.
Second question. Playing with restoring stock ROM i run out of battery and now my defy wont charge (only see a big question mark when loading). Seems like I get no power when USB is connected so is there a way for me to charge the battery or do I need to find another happy camper in town with a working defy that can power up my battery?

In froyo, you should hit vol up/down together to enter stock recovery.
If you have your cm7 nandroid or your gingerbread nandroid 2.3.6. In,custom recovery cm10, restore them. Your phone would not boot but you have your cm7 or gingerbread cwm by then, that you could format cache and total wipe back to ext.3 in the recovery menu, format/wipe follow with another nandroid restore and flash fix sbf from rsdlite.
But then the best way is go back totally clean by flashing stock froyo and root, install 2init with bootmenu 2.0. Then total wipe in recovery follow with restore your cm7 or gingerbread nandroids and flash the corresponding fix sbf via rsdlite.
Charging dead rom defy would need the MacGyver trick then. But some say if you leave it connected overnight in pc usb would charged it somehow but slow..
On 2nd thought.. you need to tell us yoyr defy model...green lense, red lense or the defy plus?? These models has their own characteristics in term of play around in cwm and way of flashing..

Thanks for very informative reply. I have a Defy 525 with red lens.
It's working.
I found a friend blessed with a defy and used that to charge the battery, tried to charge it over night with USB but it didn't work.
I then followed the steps from the last post and managed to flash a stock rom and then from there I rooted the phone with SuperOneClick, installed 2ndInit with ADB (guess you could use an apk installer from the phone as well ). I booted into recovery and flashed 7.2.0 Jordan from CM and now I am where I started a few weeks back.
Thank you all for your help.
That was the low battery problem.......
Since i had this i allways look for a full battery
If you think your defy is dead , a look for a empty battery won't be mad
Could anybody took a reminder info into beginners guide

I started using my milestone 2 from stock (Argentina) froyo, then updated to CM7, then after some time started using CM10.
Now after some time, I wished to revert to CM7. I rebooted into recovery and flashed CM7 and Gapps, but got stuck in red Motorola logo when booting up. What should I do? Follow the downgrade instructions posted here in xda?
Thanks in advance!

You mean pressing X and power when booting? It doesnt work, I dont get the exclamation mark, only the red motorola logo.
If I press volume down when booting (blue led) I can access the android bootmenu, and from there custom recovery (clockworkmod).... but when I choose for example Stock recovery (from the android bootmenu) I get just the rred moto logo, nothing else...
Any ideas?
Thanks again.

latest CM7 build does not contain kernel and you have wrong kernel. if your bl=2 you need to flash one of the previous builds and then latest or flash only this kernel. if your bl=3 you need revert to stock, then downgrade and flash rom (maybe kernel too). I tested it for bl2 and also bl3.

If you can get to the bootmenu you can go to the custom recovery and wipe data from there too.
oh yeah !!that all right

To go to bootloader press Volume up+Power.
Power + volume up instead of down. You need bootloader for rsd.
