my defy stuck at infinite boot, cant access in recovery mode pls help.. thanks
I'm facing the same problem here, after flash full sbf rom, it's possible to flash again, but with same result, i can't wipe since android won't start and i can't install clockwork.
any hint, clue or point for some documentation/tutorial is apreciated
thanks in advance
---------------------------------
this is what solve the problem for me:
boot in recovery : pull out the batterie, boot with volume down and power.
when you see the android and the triangle, volume down + volume up, when in recovery, wipe data and cache.
i have the folowing "warnings"
wipe data/factory reset:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/caller
wipe cache partition:
E:Can't mount CACHE:recovery/log
the next boot took aprox 10 mins
hope this helps
The problem for me is i cant go to recovery mode, stuck in android logo, and defy is also not charging

hey, if you are stuck in an android logo, it means its the infinite boot-loop thing..
PLEASE make sure you are CORRECTLY trying to get into stock recovery or bootloader.
Here is what to do to get into recovery first:
1- turn off your phone (take the battery out and then put it back in)
2- press and OLD 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
P.S. don't worry - a bootloop is a considerably easy thing to fix, at least i managed to fix mine yesterday.
good luck

Hi ! Are you sure you took the good rom for your defy ? Is it a regular defy or a + ? Because you need to have the good rom for the good defy version ( at least for gb rom). Then before installing the rom with the recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cahe (in advanced) and even data if you come from 2.x to 4.x. (same thing from 4.x to 2.x).
It would work

Thanks for this method even if I knew it. The first time I tried to flash a sbf it was awefull because nobody says it clearly. Wipe data, cache and dalvik in recovery doesn't work at all I experimented it again yesterday.
Please specify me the good GBROM!

Hi here the one I use : http://www.partage-facile.com/V96TH...nfryortcee_p016_a016_hwp3_service1ff.sbf.html
PS : It's in French but just go on "telechargement gratuit (VITESSE NORMALE)" and then on "télécharger ce fichier"
Follow the steps given by your_login and you should end with a froyo ROM. After it's as usual to install a custom ROM (root , 2nd init, wipes...)
Also when you are in bootloop remove the battery and restart the phone. When there is the blue led with the M logo press volume down and then go into recovery > stable recovery. I think it's better than your method
My phone is bricked after flashing!

Can anyone please provide me better SBF file? m tired of flashing with different sbf files
Note: it does happen with other official sbf files as well.
My defy is bricked so I tried to flash a sbf with RSD lite. However everything went well up to the point where it says 'please manually reboot your phone' and then defy is just in boot loop.
#Tried remove the battery and then reboot, still the same outcome.
#Tried holding <power button +vol down> to enter recovery, it shows the error screen.
What can I do now? Please help.

By error screen do you mean the adroid with exclamation? If so, then press both the volume up and down keys simultaneously, you should enter stock recovery now. Clear cache and dalvik cache (if the options are there) and reboot. Hope this helps!
So about a few hours ago I saw that I could download the new 10.2 cyanogenmod. I wanted it because it was Android 4.3, so I downloaded it. I tried watching flash movies and stuff, and the browsers and stuff kept crashing, and the internet didn't work completely. So, I downloaded 10.1 again, and installed it. It rebooted to the teamwin thing, and then rebooted again. A few minutes after, I was curious as to why it was still loading. Waited a long time, and it still was on the CM boot logo thing. Im using the Nexus 7 toolkit (its called something else, but im not sure what. The icon is a red toolbox with 3 tools in it), and can't reboot into recovery or flash stock back on it. How can I get it out of bootloop? I really need help! D:
Press all the three buttons , power , volume up and volume down together and boot into bootloader. From boot loader use volume buttons to go onto recovery , do a clean wipe there and reflash a ROM. Another alternative is to use adb and type
Code:
adb reboot recovery
then wipe clean and reflash ROM.

Hi Red Devil,
I just tried to install CM 10.1.3 on my Motorola Atrix HD.
I forgot to wipe data and cache before installing the ROM, and now it is stuck in the boot animation.
When I press the power and volume keys down together, it takes my phone to a black screen, and when I press them again on the black screen it gives me a brief menu that says
"Normal power up"
"Recovery"
"AP Fastboot"
"Factory"
and another one I can't recall.
This screen times out in about 3 seconds. and regardless of which item from the menu I select, it still shows my boot logo, then the CM animation. I cant boot into fastboot or recovery, and I can't find anything good online to help me.
Help! What do I do?
I gave my old phone Defy Red lens to a friend. He messed around with bootloader and now the OS does not see any internal storage so i can't install any bootloaders.
Can't acces custom bootloader.
I can only acces a recovery mode but my options are limited.
I did a full wipe and cache wipe from the recovery mod but i only managed to get inside os but all data resets everytime and there is no storage as stated before.
Please check attached photos for more information on build etc.
I tried RSD lite but it won't see phone while in recovery mode.
Any help is appreciated.

Bootloader is already in the phone, you must be talking about custom recovery. When you reboot your phone, a blue LED will light up. Immediately push volume down, then choose recovery->Teamwin recovery.
To enter bootloader, switch off your phone, then first press volume up then power button, keep them pressed until the screen lights up a little, then let them go. A screen appears, which is the bootloader. This is needed for RSDLite.
About your problem, download AROMA/full wiper zip. Go to custom recovery, then press install and choose the zip. Choose EXT4 and wipe system, data and cache. DO NOT REBOOT. After that, immediately flash a ROM+Gapps.
By the way, when you cleared data and cache in stock recovery (the one in the photo), they were formatted to ext3, which led to those problems.

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
