I had MIUI and performed a hard reset. Now I can't boot into MIUI and CM7, and as far as I understand I need to flash stock firmware to start everything from scratch. But how can I get to flashing stock firmware if I can't connect it in USB debugging mode?
So rsd is not detecting your phone? Do you see a white notification light when you connect it to your PC? If you see the light, and rsd doesn't detect I think all you have to do is hit the power button once and then the computer should connect.

You can flash via cwm if boot menu is working...

Yes, there is a white notification light the same moment I plug it to my PC, then it turns on and tries to boot. But RSD doesn't see it.
I've tried flashing MIUI and CM7 via CWM, but the phone doesn't boot. I believe I'm doing it wrong. So I wanted to flash stock with RSD and try again.
when you see white light ,try push and keep power button and vol- and vol+ ,i made like this and rds lite saw my phone
Doesn't seem to work for me.
Can you enter the bootloader mode at all? Its volume down and power button combination which is required
Also, before doing that try data wipe from cwm

The Bootmenu? I enter it by pressing volume down when the blue led is flashing.
I've made a dozen data wipes, cache wipes and dalvik cache wipes. None of them helped.
Wow. I've chosen "2nd init + adb" boot mode instead of "2nd init", and loaded to CM7!
Will investigate it. But not today, too tired anyway.
Okay, so I've found how to boot it. I just need to connect it to computer and choose "2nd init + adb" booting. Am I right to suppose that the best thing to do now is flashing it with stock firmware via RSD?
Now I've got another problem: 2ndInit installation fails. I've tried 1.4.2 (hangs instantly after pressing the "Install 2ndInit Recovery" button) and 2.0 (hangs after downloading the stable bootmenu).
A few minutes later it closes the "Downloading" window and asks if superuser is installed (it is, I've already rooted the phone with SuperOneClick). So I see the problem is that it can't get root permissions. How can I fix it?
Edit: okay, rebooting the phone worked.

i flash my phone with a custom rom from this forum
succesfull until RSD Lite step
after RSD Lite, my phone stuck at Motorola logo with blur
tried pull off and pulling on the batery with power and volume up, it got back to bootloader screen
try aother RSD Power, it is still the same
Progress till 100 persen, but the phone stucked at motorola blur logo
any solution, guys?
thanks
What were you trying to flash?
I try to upgrade to froyo.
it stuck after RSD Lite step
Well first, is your phone rooted? Secondly, what stock version did you have?
I think I can get you up and running with Froyo
you may try to install your original version/build number sbf. if its work, maybe you can try flash froyo ROM again. then when you finished restore custom ROM all you have to do is go to bootloader then flash boot/devtree only sbf.. dont pull usb connection. but if RSD want you to turn phone manually then you need to press power button even though your phone at booting state..
i got the same problem, everything was working fine before i done it a couple times but then i used miui and my phone battery died and it wouldnt work after that so i decided to flash with rsd lite and after doing everything normally its just stuck at the motorola and moto blur symbol/animation thing. really frustrating.

get into stock recover (Vol Up + Power) then wipe data/cache
Half Bricked
I have an Mb525 rooted (that was) running stock 2.2 Blurred. I installed the Defy boot loader and hard reset/wiped partitions and (tried to) install cm7 from SD, it installs fine, goes fine, everything is all set. Reboot the device and the splash image pops up with the white LED first, then the blue one for boot loader, and finally the green one. It stays on splash screen. I tried 2 different versions of cm7 and both do the same thing. I'm able to access the boot loader, it just doesn't finish loading whatever I flash onto it.
As my phone is dysfunctional, I would appreciate it if you could contact me through my Skype;

I won't receive emails.. =/

Moto Defy shipped with 2.1

Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.

Solution
I had this problem. Found a solution at 4pda.ru
1. Shut down your phone.
2. Hold Volume- button, press Power button for 2 seconds. Then release both.
3. When you see Android robot press together both Volume+ and Volume- buttons.
4. Erase both Cache and Data.
5. Reboot.
Your phone should boot normally.

Hi guys, i spent alot of time figuring out how to get CM9 on my phone and finally i got version 0.3.2 from http://www.jokersax.com/developer-pages/jokersax/cyanogenmod-9-atrix/ installed. After doing so in CWM i restarted my device and my phone gets stuck in the boot animation screen. Any Idea how to get out of here?
Flash again with no wipe. Should work.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
What do you mean no wipe?
Also I'm not sure how i can boot into CWM without clicking it from the app.
take battery out/in
restart phone, keeping volume down pressed in
keep on pressing volume down till you see android recovery
press volume up
wipe data
wipe cache
restart sytem and see if the phone boots up
if not repeat steps and install previolusly used? rom
Holding volume down just starts fastboot protocol for me. And hold up starts the RSD protocol.
EDIT: nvm i figured out how to get into recovery
Double EDIT: barry_ 's suggestion worked.
Hi!
I rooted my Droid 2 with SuperOneClick and everything seemed fine. Then I installed the Bootstrap Recovery and reboot to the recovery and made a backup. After that I intalled the CWM9 room and rebooted, but I after the Motorola logo it won't go further. I've waited a long time and nothing. I've tried to go to the recovery but it doesn't work holding the X and power button, the /!\ doesn't appear. I can only go to the bootloader holding the UP arrow. How can I solved this, I've been looking on google and I didn't find anything.
Try holding both the volume up and down buttons while powering on

First boot can take around ten minutes. Did you wipe data and cache before flashing? Found it's also best to format and remount system as well when going to ICS roms from GB.
i had a cyanogenmod for few months and this morning suddenly after i turn off my alarm clock the phone rebooted, and he now stuck in a boot loop of the cyanogenmod logo(blue circle), i tried to enter to recovery mode(power+vol down) and it shows me android with an ! logo and nothing else
i tried to flash with rsd 5.7 to stock and it still stuck on the boot logo(motorola logo) and still can't enter recovery mode
i tried to flash also to root sbf(BL7 if it matters) and the same thing
don't know what to do else, any help?
i have defy+
another problem that i have now that because i tried so many solutions that the battery is over and i cannot charge him(question mark on battery logo when i try to charge)
any help?
edit:i did the mcgyver solution to the battery, worked and i get to the bootloader with battery ok status, but still try every sbf and it stuck on "reboot your phone manually" on the rsd and when i get the battery out and put back in it just continue to loop =\

I've had that happen several times. Sometimes clearing Cache works. Most of the times you have to wipe /data partition with Custom Recovery. Now, after flashing with RSD you must go into Stock Recovery, and wipe /data with Stock Recovery. That will get your phone to boot up.
That "android with an ! logo" is the Stock Recovery. If you were on CM you would have had 2init installed, so to go to the Bootmenu/Custom Recovery, you have to press the VOL - button when the blue light turns on, not before, or else you might go to Stock Recovery.
When I flash with RSD, I always wait for the phone to reboot, and right when it reboots, I press the VOL + button so that it goes back into Bootloader, that way in RSD it shows the "Pass" message right away.

i tried to press vol - when the blue light turns on but still i get to the "android with an ! logo" (if i was not mention it, on this screen i don't have any text at all, just the logo with out any options)
so i cannot clear cache or wipe any thing =\
edit: when i need to see the blue light? because i get only red(to a second when i turn on) and white when it connected mcgyver style

Well, it seems like you've never used the Stock Recovery before. When you get to that screen you need to press both Volume + and - so that it shows the options.
With some stock SBFs I think you have to press the bottom left or right corners of the touchscreen for it to show the options, don't remember which side it is, and sometimes it's hard to hit the right spot, but it's there alright. Try with both volume keys first.
If you do manage to get it to show the options, do a Factory Reset, which wipes Data for you. Although, if you just flashed a stock ROM with RSD, there should be no blue light, just so you know.

oh silly me, never tried the vol + and vol - options, i now cleared cache and wipe dara/factory reset and tried to boot and.. it works!!! i don't believe it works! wow thank you a lot! now i'm returning to cm and hope it never happens again =]
why does it happen any way?(after few months of use)
defy stuck on boot loop
Mines doing this boot loop after running great for about 5 months. Seems I'll be able to get it back using methods detailed here. But is there a way I can keep my sms's bearing in mind I've not performed a back up for the last 5 months?
Anyone?
Does the advanced backup utility backup my sms data, so that i can do a wipe data factory reset?

I have a problem with my Motorola defy(non+). After i installed by mistake Android 4.4 with kernel 3.0 by Quarx, my defy wouldn't boot into the OS.
Tried to install another ROM but it ran into a problem and failed. Tried to install after that a new SBF because i don't know why the recovery menu was not there anymore.
Suddenly, after it finished, i noticed the phone won't power up anymore. It happened to me 2 times in the past and just adjusting the charger end into the phone carefully worked and i could power on the phone and install a different sbf and solve the problem but now it's different.
The phone won't power up with that method again.
When i connected the phone into the laptop the white led appeared, but without powering it on, RDS lite identified the device.
I installed a froyo 2.2.2 CEE sbf succesfully(it said) but it doesn't power up and now RDS lite doesn't recognise it either.(LED still works though)
What can i do?

Try wiping data and cache in the stock recovery. To get into the stock recovery, power off the phone, hold in the volume- button then also press and hold the power button. After a few seconds you should see a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle, and a little green android guy below that. Then press the volume+ and volume- buttons at the same time, and a menu should appear. Use the volume buttons to navigate the menu, and the power button to select an option. Select "wipe data/factory reset" and also "wipe cache partition". Then try to reboot the phone.
If the phone still won't boot, go into bootloader before connecting to RSD lite. To go into bootloader, 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.) Then connect USB cable and use RSD Lite to flash sbf again.
Hi. So i kinda repaired my defy but it still has a problem. It does not want to charge without using MCGyver method. Everything else works fine, except the phone does not detect my battery so instead it shows a question mark. BTW i deleted by mistake the sbf but i know it was chinese. Only that sbf worked. Could you find me a good working sbf?
