I tried to sbf, it got done and rsd said phone has to be powered up manually. So i tried to turn it on and all it does is boot loop. My computer wont pick it up. Since its not rooted can i boot into recovery? What do i do?
Got it into bootloader and sbf'd again. Still boot loopin. What do I do? Someone please help me!!!
Wipe data and cache from the stock recovery.
1. Pull your battery.
2. Turn on your phone while holding the 'up' arrow on the keyboard
3. Hold until you are in stock recovery.
4. Press the magnifying glass on the keyboard to see the menu
5. Select data wipe and then cache wipe (using the volume buttons. or arrow keys and the camera or 'ok' button to select)
6. Then reboot system and you should be good to go.
Also how did you sbf?

You have to borrow somebody's charged battery. Or find a way to get yours charged because the phone won't charge without some software running.
Once you get a working battery try the steps I gave you to get into stock recovery if you would like/need more help with any of the steps just let me know.
(the D1's battery will work if you have a friend with a D1. I don't know about the DX though.)

Did you try to SBF while running a ROM? I think its best be rooted stock at least to SBF. I had problems SBFing if I wasn't stock.
ok, i got a battery. but when i try to use the up arrow and power button to get into recovery it just goes into bootloader. i sbf'd from fission 2.2.1. so yea, i was runnin a rom. ive never had so much trouble messin with a phone before. i know its not bricked but i am getting frustrated...
BOOM!!! Got it baby!! OK, so its x and power to boot into stock recovery. Worked like a charm! And on the bright side, i scored a D1 for 100. I needed a battery, buddy had a nearly perfect droid...hooked it up

I just updated my ZTE Blade running CM7 RC3 to CM 7.0.2 using Rom Manager and now it just continuously "reboots" aka 'back key' led is red, then Android Logo is shown for about 4 seconds then all black, and this loops forever.
Pressing Menu & Vol+ on powering on doesn't do anything .
Any Help appreciated.
Thank you.

Got it too. Did you check your version of the phone (Gen1 or Gen2)? Since CM 7.0, releases are made for Gen2 and have to be converted with a specific tool for working with Gen1 phone. I have a Gen1 phone which explained why I got this looping reboot after flash of latest 7.0.2. Managed to get back to a functional ROM by accessing Clockwork.

I was still able to access Clockwork. Did you try putting the battery off and back and then retry?
Keep us up to date on that.
Could you just briefly explain how you got to access Clockwork? Maybe I'm doing something wrong... when do you press the keys? Do you hold them? What should happen then?
Thx again.

Volume DOWN + Power
While maintaining vol- power up the phone and wait before Clockwork shows up before releasing the Vol- button.
Then follow this...

Hi,
Was given a Defy by a mate who thinks he has bricked it and replaced it already. I’m hoping I can get it working again. Hopefully with your help this might be possible.
These are the facts:
1> Current phone state: Motorola logo on screen and nothing else happens. I’m able to get into the bootloader(Power + Volume Up), but not able to get into recovery(Power + Volume Down)
2> Previous firmware version is unknown. All I know is the phone was bought through T-mobile UK.
3> My mate has tried to install various .sbf files(3.4.2-177 nordic Blurless Thread & 3.4.3-11 UK Tmobile Blur Thread & 3.4.3-3 UK Tmobile Blur Thread & 2.51.1 UK - Blur ROM Thread) onto the phone and still the phone stays in the same state.
So I don’t know where to start or what to try really, as I assumed all I would need to do is install a previous .sbf. I read it could have to do with the battery being empty, but I have a external charger and know the battery is full.
Any advice would be great, please help. I have also read other threads, but they do not have the same issues and are able to get there phones working past the point i'm at.
Thanks
same thing happened to my defy today, when I decided to try out CM7 while on a 3.4.2.117-005 nordic. Basically it's F'd up!
When I tried installing CM7 beta 6 zip from recovery, it got installed, but the phone was too damn slow to be used, So I flashed 177-005's sbf again and after completion it got stuck in boot at the Android Text.
Then i flashed with a 3.4.3.11_BLUR_signed sbf and still it's stuck at the Moto Logo.
please help someone, its my new phone..

Yea, I have tried it every configuration possible and no Android Robot appears… I have even asked my mate and partner to do it to make sure it is just not me…
Could this be the first official “Bricked” Defy? I hope not, was worth a try and assume this is why my mate wanted to get rid of it….
Thanks again for all the advice.

@jdearauj just a curiosity, what operative system you use on your computer?
i asked you, because if you have win vista, rsd-lite not worked always very well with this OS....if you have xp or seven its good!
endless bootloop M logo
ok maybe this will help...
quickly remove battery before it gets drained...
now do this,i call it the "monkey method"
>on my left hand i hold my defy without the battery in,
>press the volume up+power at the same time...
now i quickly slip the battery in w/ my right hand & stay a few seconds..it took me to the stock recovery-factory reset & it took me to stock SBF rom & ready to reflash cm7 again.

So everything was running fine - i was on the last CM7 build ( maniacs final ) with a BL7 defy, left it on charge overnight and when i came ot it this morning its stuck on the red M logo and wont boot - and recovery has gone as well - no blue LED.
I can boot into the bootloader, but thats about it, the standard recovery menu wont appear either.
need help fast - please....
Ive just tried re-flashing the SBF files as per the instructions on rooting a bl7 defy, while it appeared to go OK, the phone is still stuck on the red motorola logo - no blue LED - please help....
Recovery mode doesnt work, after pulling the battery and re-starting i t whilst pressing power down, the only thing that happens is a red motorola logo, and there it stays.
please help...... ive got three hours to fix this.

thanks, left it for a good few minutes, all i get is a few minutes of black screen, followed by the red motorola logo, still nothing,
the weird thing is that it bricked itself after running fine for the last few weeks.

Hmmm, that worked for me. Took out the battery, left it for 2 minutes. I put back the battery, nothing happened. Then I realized that the phone had gone off so I did what I told you.

You're not doing it correctly I suspect. However, flash an sbf and try.
By not doing it right, what do you mean?? this is what ive been doing take out battery - wait - replace battery and then hold power button down then hold the power button while keeping the volume down key pressed
RSD lite is showing the device as Omap3630 and imei as N/A

What I mean is that when you put the battery back, the phone should not switch on (the moto symbol should not come)
As long as it shows in RSDlite, its all good.

THE BLUE LED ONLY COMES WHEN CUSTOM RECOVERY IS INSTALLED.
SEE GOOGLE ON HOW TO ENTER STOCK RECOVERY. IF YOU MANAGED TO USE RSDLITE THEN I'M SURE YOU CAN GO TO STICK RECOVERY.
When you put back the battery, does the phone start? If it does then remove it and wait a little longer and try. It should work, it has worked for me. Plus If it shows in rsdlite you can try flashing to stock.

Yeah, bad kernel. That's designed for a SGS3 and CM9 ROMs. With that being said, it won't boot all? The bad kernel shouldn't prevent you from booting into recovery, but like Panther said, your battery may be dead. Leave it on the charger for a while and see what happens. Use Panther's button combo to boot straight into recovery and restore a backup. You can also try holding all three buttons to get into the fastboot menu. Once in the menu, use vol- to go to your choice and vol+ to select your option. Good luck and let us know what happens.

not sure if you resolved you issue, but try again to get to recovery - press and hold all 3 buttons (power + volume up + volume down), release only the power button after 5 seconds and wait for the recovery screen to appear (if not, try releasing the volume buttons, then press the volume down button once, then the volume up button once).

that's a good sign that the battery light came on. getting into recovery can be tricky, so keep trying. you might need to get there blindly - basically, assume that you cannot see the screen, and press the right buttons to get into it. this has happened to me before.
