[Q] Defy stick on boot logo

hello fellows, tried to flash ms2ginger3.0 and the device got stuck on boot logo, boot menu wont load, and stock recovery (vol down + power button) doesn't work either. Tried also to attend to the operator, but they won't fix an none stock version.
any suggestions?

use rsd lite and flash a new sbf to it.

In case you don't know how to flash a new sbf with RSD Lite, here's a quick tutorial:
1) Install the Motorola drivers and RSD Lite on your computer. See this guide for installing Moto drivers and RSD Lite:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674
2) Download the sbf file that you want to flash, and save it to your PC. Many sbf files can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537 WARNING: If you flash a full stock SBF file, in most cases you will lose the ability to downgrade to earlier firmware versions. NEVER flash a full stock SBF file with a higher Android version than 2.2 (Froyo). Any stock firmware with Android version 2.3 or higher is made for the DEFY+, which has different camera hardware than the DEFY. If you flash the stock DEFY+ firmware, your camera will be broken and you won’t be able to downgrade back to Froyo again.
3) Make sure the phone battery is fully charged. Power off your phone, then hold in the volume+ button and the power button at the same time. After about 5 seconds, release the buttons. The bootloader should display – it will show the version and a battery check. (If that doesn’t work, pull the battery, then put it back in while holding the volume+ and power buttons.)
4) Start RSD Lite on your computer, then connect the phone with a USB cable. In RSD Lite, the Status column should say “Connected…”. Click on that, and some information about your phone should show up under Device Properties. Next, click the “…” button and browse to select the SBF file that you want to install. After opening it, information about the file should show up under File Properties. Then click “Start” and wait for the flashing process to complete. Wait until the phone has fully rebooted and RSD Lite says “Pass” before closing RSD Lite and disconnecting the USB cable. As an extra precaution, I usually power off the phone before disconnecting the cable.
Good luck!

Thank you guys, just reallized the combination to stock recovery is (power botton + volup) now sbf Froyo.

Do you get the "no such file found" error as soon as you select a recovery option, or does the error happen later?
If all else fails, just flash a new sbf using RSD Lite. (See my previous post, above.) If you're planning to install CM7 again, I recommend using the 3.4.2-179-2 CEE DEBLUR sbf. Then follow this guide to install CM7 with working google apps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798

on my defy + with BL7 i read some where that this is possibole but evrey time i try to flash one of them the phone gets into bootloop or bricked :\
need a video guide or something

Hey there!
The defy+ comes with bl7 so you've got to root it with this method(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013&page=5)
1. Shut down the phone>Press the button Volume Down and keep it pressed>Press the buton Power On>A Yelow Triangle with an Android will appear>Pres both Volume buttons>A menu will appears>Navigate up/down with the Volume buttons and Accept with Power buttons> sellect Whipe Data and Factory Reset and then Whipe cache>Select Reboot from menu and press imediately the Volume UP buton>the phone will enter in Bootloader Mode (is ready for flash process)>Connect it to PC
2. The Flashing proces is done on PC with the phone connected. You must install RDS Lite and Motorola USB Drivers (after installing drivers restart the PC.
Run installed RDS Lite as Administrator (if you use Windows Vista or 7). Click on [ … ] Button and select your .SBF file and click Open.
Boot your phone into Bootloader Mode (as I said at point 1.).
Now connect your Defy to your PC (if is not already connected)
The START button on RSD Lite should be available now, click and wait.
Don't disconnect until RDS Lite will show PASS.
Now your defy plus is rooted.
Now you have to install 2ndint. It gives you recovery menu.
Now you can go to recovery and flash any rom you want as per your wish.

i've did used this method a bilion of times , and evrey time after i flash the new rom phone gets bricked or into bootloop :\

When installing MS2Ginger, go to Backup and restore -> Advanced restore -> /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/MS2Ginger and restor system only. Then restore devtree and recovery. Don't restore boot as this is the kernel, which is for lower BL version, therefore causing a bootloop or a soft brick. I haven't flashed a BL7 Defy+ with MS2Ginger and am not 100% sure it will work, but theoretically, if anything would work, it would be this.

it works..

[Q] Deleted Recovery on CM 7.2 Can't Boot!

So i wanted to install a rom (Froyo 2.2). Formatted, wiped cache and dalvik. Pushed the wrong button carelessly and rebooted. Than i oppened the motorola recovery and wiped cache. Now i can't open the recovery menu of CM and i don't have google play installed so there is no way to boot zip files..
Please need help, seriously. And i'm green with android's..

Oh wow
Take a 2.2 Froyo File, download RDS Lite
Turn your Device down then push the Volume Button down + Unlock Button
When you see the android sign push Audio up + down at the same time
Then go to factory reset and do this
Now put your battery out and back in
Boot with Volume button up + Unlock Button
Now you should see the bootloader screen
Connect your phone to your PC start RSD Lite and flash your 2.2 froyo stock sbf

Switch phone off, press and hold volume-up button then switch phone on. You should be on bootloader mode, then connect phone to pc with usb cable open RSD Lite, choose your SBF file and press Decompress and Flash. Wait till it finishes

Thanks!

Problems after resetting.

So I wiped cache and so on now the thing is hanging at the Motorola screen and that's it.
I tried to get a sbf but all who should be compatible are down so that I pretty much am freaked.
Is there a way to get at least now a clean rom on it maybe something new 4.4.2 without SDCard or is that also a nogo?
----
So if your phone won'T boot and you just have a white light or nothing at all. You probably have less battery power to sbf flash something.
I used the Jumper cable method from Sorensiim.
That worked like a charm.
If you are looking for sbf files. Here are some.
----
So now I rooted that thing and tried to install bootmenu. Iused the adb method with ./install.sh permission denied after the copy procedure was complete ((data/bootmenu chmod etc.). I tried 2ndinit with the problem that the program hangs after the download. So what is it now that freakin thing wants me to do?
----
Got Bootmenu installed now the Defy has a Bootloop. For a short time before it loops the white led blinks. No volume up or volume down work.
----

Hanging at M logo on re-boot
Having rooted the phone . . .
1. Switch on and await blue LED
2. Press volume down to enter Android Boot Menu (v 1.1.8-jordan)
3. Recovery
4. Custom Recovery > Cyanogen Defy Recovery (v5.0.3.1-jordan)
5. Wipe Data / Factory Reset
6. Wipe Cache Partition
7. Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache
8. Install zip from SD card
9. Toggle signature verification to Disabled
10. Toggle script asserts to Disabled
11. Choose zip from SD card
12. Apply zip from SD card
13. Reboot
14. Hangs at M logo
Tried with and without step 10.
The zip files tried are the only two ‘nightlies’ on the XDA website, as I have been unable to find the last ‘stable’ version.
Can anyone help please?
