[Defy] Stuck at Bootloader 09.10 - Err:A5,69,4E,00,41

I think the title kinda explains for itself!
From what I started and where I got?
Well, firstly, I tried to install 3.4.3-11 Motorola SBF with fixed Blur provided this link:
"Here you are, buddy
Fixed.SBF plus Nandroid of 3.4.3-11
http://www.multiupload.com/PB10JC9NQV"
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537&page=7)
I moved to the older PC still running Windows XP to manage RSD Lite 4.9 to work and recognize my Defy. (it apparently worked)
After wiping all data and cache, I started the phone in boot loader mode and tried to use RSD to load the SBF.
Everything seemed to be fine. But.....After RSD finished the update, it said for me to "turn on my Device". Well, it was already on and stuck at Motorola Logo.
I waited for quite some time, took a shower, smoke a cigar.... And, when I came back, nothing, phone was still on moto logo.
I force restarted the phone removing the battery. Still got stuck at moto logo for quite some time.
Sooooo, I decided to wipe everything again and try to install the SBF again, this time with the one provided by "Pays Rom" thread.
That was when stuff got bad.
After that, I got stuck at Bootloader with a "error code" indication.
Alright, it was time to read some more cause I realized I fked something up! Then, I find out I could load a Devtree SBF and that would unbrick the phone being able to install another SBF.
No succecs, eventhoug I tried to load those previous SBF, I still got problems either with RSD Lite or got stuck at bootloader with a that "error code" problem.
As I didnt know what else to do, I loadead back the devtree and got that different error code on the phone. (one mentioned on the thread title).
And, this is pretty much my whole problem! lol
Any Ideas what should I do?
My Defy is from Brazil - Claro and was running 2.1 android at the beggining!
Tyvm!

it seems like we get the similar Err,my defy also stuck at bootloader Err,my Err code is a5 69 35 00 27,if you have solved the problem,please tell me something about it.

Nothing yet.
Still trying to boot anything in it. If I ever find something, I'll let you know!
I'm getting this error now on RSD Lite when trying to load the SBF 3.4.3-11
Failed Flashing process. Phone[0000]: Error flashing subscriber unit. Device API Error: 0xE003003F Adress: 0xB2383000 Command: ADDR (0xE023203F), phone conected
New error code prompted on Bootloarder:
Err:A5,70,39,00,27
Now it shows Motorola logo for a few seccconds.
Stuck at code 39 or smthing while trying to install another SBF (the one with PAys Rom)
Ok, it unstucked, now RSD shows "restarting" and the motorola logo is on screen.
Finally, it loaded.
I used Pays Rom after a few tries with the first fixed SBF and jumping to the Pays Rom SBF.
After sometime, it installed!!!!!
The phone just started!!!!!
How about your problem mate, wich point are u at?

To solve both of your problems:
download and install the original 3.4.3-11 sbf, no nandroid or anything else.
You should allways be able to get into the original motorola boot loader and from there install any of their SBF, but some of the sbf versions with android do not allow downgrader, therefore you should be sure to use the same version and not a lower one.

Thank you!
I managed to find that out by myself, but thanks for the help!!
I noticed it was a not downgradable version, but I don't really care as it fits what I was aiming and I don't have any intetions of going back to 2.1!

hello,
I also have a similar problem, stuck on the bootloader but I have the "low battery cannot program" error. When I try to charge the battery, the battery appears with a "?" inside...
Does anyone already get this problem ? Battery out of order ? software problem ?

I tried a 2.1 SBF and it gave me a black screen.. the phone turns on, but keeps black.. so I re-flashed with a 2.2 sbf and got back to the same error..
Now I'm downloading the Orange 2.3 sbf file.. I dunno if it will work because I already tried 8 different sbf files

1) Try flashing on different PC to start fresh.
2) If you'd flashed so many sbf. You might not be able to remember them all. My guess is that you might be at froyo state(corrupted/failed system code), thus flashing another Eclair 2.1 sbf would not solve your issue. You must try on Froyo sbf only starting from bootloader mode and rsdlite 4.9 or 5.0.
3) Take note of your battery level as it might draining down while you attempting to put some resuraction on the device.
4) Try relax and take a bath and smoke a bigger cigar just like the OP of this thread did...

i too have this same problem, exept i dont know what ver i had and i flashed so many sbf. ive found some sbf that work but i get no signal.

yes ive try that with no luck.

hELLO
Please, tell me how to solve that problem with bootloader error A5, 70, 39,00 27 in my defy?? You have said you solved it. please help

you need to be calm and cool with lot of patience. It takes upto 10 - 15 Minutes...
the flashing happens at the speed of your computer.
try to use original cables and use USB ports of your desktop motherboard or laptop without any extension cables.
keep your pc in NO SLEEP mode. Batter should be almost full before flashing ...these are some tips...

[HELP] Milestone 2 bricked (SBF Not Working, No Recovery, No Battery Charge)

Hey i will try to be as precise as possible. I'm posting in this section because in the general section the help isn't as effective as here.
Here is my problem:
A few days ago i flashed GB MIUI on my Milestone 2 everything worked perfectly and i used the phone a whole day. That night i've put the phone to charge and went to bed. Il the morning when i push the power button the phone didn't boot. I was stuck at the first M bootscreen (Red at the time).
I wasn't able to do anything no recovery the phone didn't seem to be charging so i decided to flash Stock FR SBF (One i used many times)
Once completed i let the phone tying to Boot for about one hour. After that i pulled the battery out and tried to get to recovery but no success. Holding the X button while booting wasn't getting me to recovery because the wouldn't get pass the First Moto bootscreen (Recovery open after that).
So i've flashed since then a handful of SBF from and-developpers:
2.2 FR
2.2 CH
2.2 UK
2.2.2 FR
2.2.2 CH
2.2.2 UK
2.2.2 Hong Kong
2.2 China
Official GB Leak signed
Still wasn't able to get throught the first moto bootscreen.
r2beta0 had an idea so if someone can please help me get through this. I think i'm done with flashing things...
r2beta0 said:
Hmm, I just had an idea that needs elaboration. As we know we can flash any partition of the phone using sbf_flash or RSD Lite. If his problem really can be solved doing a data wipe it would be also solved by flashing a new "empty" CG37.smg. It doesn't need to be signed because /data is not checked by bootloader. So, we need a Milestone2 /data empty image (CG37.smg). One could do a data wipe and take the image of with dd command, but it would be a HUGE file (6,5 GB). I don't know if we can use a smaller file just to clean his /data. Maybe someone can elaborate that.

dangpzanco said:
Maybe you can flash a modded SBF, with a modded CG37 and a new CG that points to addresses from the middle of data to its end, and make two partitions with data spare space for the dual booting project, is that even possible?
Well, at least when you pack and zip it the SBF won't be hard to upload.
PS: Does the Milestone 1 full SBFs have the data CG included?

I tried holding X button while i plug the phone the Wall charger but no sucess either. I just can't get to the screen with the Exclamation point...
I've tried to be as precise as possible to help people who will or already tried to help me. Please don't delete my thread or move it after i've put so much effort in this...
I've search in hundreads of threads around different forum XDA is my last chance...
I thanks everyone who will take some time to help me or even at least read this.

I don't know if this is going to help, but you could try that anyway:
- Download MotoAndroidDepacker (utility to unpack/repack SBF's)
- Choose one stock SBF (2.2 FR for example)
- Open and unpack it with the utility
- Rename CG66.smg to CG37.smg (you are going to use preinstall image as data image, both are ext3, but has different sizes. Don't know if it's going to work).
- Use utility to open folder with unpacked images and repack it
- Put phone in bootloader mode and flash the repacked SBF (rebuilt/firmware.sbf)
- Post results here

I just did it no results still the same!
I don't think it looks good.
I didn't pull out the battery yet i wan't to give it a chance. I'll edit this post

Something is very wrong with your phone. I think your best bet is to reflash stock SBF and send your phone to warranty.

Did you try other options "dumb"? For example, change the simcard, change the sdcard, charge the battery with other alternative (universal charger)

Have you tried to use sbf_flash on linux/mac?

I've tried Linux but no result... We are 3 french who have the exact same probleme it can't be Hardware?
Our Milestone 2 are somewhat different than others... I've phoned motorola for my problem today they told me to send it to a partner repair center but he warned me that if they discover i did something to the phone it will cost my a lot of money...
I'm sending it monday morning i'm really hoping for a solution before than...

Im not sure about service sbf vs the one that wipes user data. We have that kind of sbf for m2?
On the other side, looks like ROM chip go bad.

I'll ask some obvious question...you did not have any errors when flashing ? it always complete the process? Can you get into the bootloader when it print version 70.12 or 70.13 ?
Another obvious thing, did you verify md5 after downloading sbf ?

So it happenned both to us when we intalled MIUI so the problem is MIUI. Because i was using CM7 since Endless7 post the instruction avec Defy's ROM. And the phone was perfect...
We both have French Milestone 2 and i don't think it is my fault. I quite shure i did everything straight. I maybe a noob in dev or other things. But I have experience in flashing things...
My bootloader is 70.12 so it's different than Alex. And i used just like Alex the French Stock sbf i used everything i needed a freash clean install
When i flash i get to the "Please reboot phone manually" like everytime and then pull the battery go to bootloader and get finish

I had problems with miui too. After install MIUI and try back to MS2Ginger, phone dont boot, stuck at the first M bootscreen. So I try a full wipe and same problem, stuck at the first M. Mine bootloader was 70.12, so I flash the 70.13 and the spanish 2.2.2 sbf, and after a data and cache wipe, phone boot again.
Note: After flash a sbf, I dont remove the battery and pull again to get "Pass" on RSD Lite... just waiting to finish the process and disconnect the phone

My phone is supposed to have the 70.12 bootloader right? If i flash the new one won't the repair center see that i modified the software?
The is no 70.12 bootloader on and-developper so how do i get back?
My phone doesn't not get to PASS it never did even in past... Except when i could do a wipe data and cache before flash

If you flash the 70.13 you do not be able to back to 70.12, so think before. When RSD is in reboot your phone 30%, I always remove my phone and never have problems
If you want try, here is the 70.13

The bootloader for the sbf 2.2.2 is 70.13 ! I remenber well, i did the official update on a windows pc, and it started by updating bootloader! But it's good news and may be just some sort of sbf incompatibility with the bootloader...just find the correct ones?

MS2 reboot only in Bootloader!

Hello,
I have a big problem. I misplaced my MS2 with a customrom Droid 2 installed. after which the phone is stuck at Moto logo, I wanted to flash it with RSD Lite again. But unfortunately it has made ​​all the worse. The screen then remained always black. By accident I found out that the master is always handy in the bootloader if I make the battery clean. the RSD Lite detects it again and then when I want to flash an SBF file he does it without problems. only then if he should make a reboot it ends up back in the bootloader. but i can´t see the bootloader. I know not what to do yet.
can anyone help me?
thank you
greeting

I didn't get quite right the situation but tell me which sbf are you using?
Is it the same android version that was before?
Have you tried pulling off the battery, waited 10 seconds, hold vol + and vol - (or X and arrow up, depending on android version) and powering up to enter the recovery and do a full data wipe? Does it starts normally after that?

Yes, it is the same as before sbf. I've been on it before GB and GB have also flashed.
at the first flash of sbf I'm also in the recovery menu and have a full wipe made ​​but which has unfortunately not have shown anything.
I thought that maybe Customrom a different bootloader has been on it so I downloaded the 70.13 bootloader and flashed.
Since then I have the problem that it only comes into the bootloader, and here again but I have only a black screen.
greeting

sir my advice is redownload your SBF.. maybe it got corrupted. and make sure you choose the right SBF.

I think I got the answer for you......
Use below mentioned steps and share the outcome:
1. Download the compressed SBF and extract using any software like 7zip or something - http://www.mediafire.com/?s3uc8cb782w1oue
[Note: Do not use any download manager while downloading.]
2. Use RSD Lite to flash the phone with the SBF file;
3. After flashing let the phone boot up and hopefully it will resolve the issue.
However if the phone is still in boot loops then try entering Stock recovery and wipe data/format and wipe cache also.
Please use the above steps and share the outcome.

ok i will download it and try it, but what i think is that, T Mobile is creating problem and i read some where there is only one SBF which work for T Mobile. Dont know for USA or UK. Mine cell is from UK.
Hopefully the link which you send helps me..
But the link you send for sbf is not down gradable. Can it create more problem for me if i install it and same black screen problem appears. And not rootable i think so how would i root it and move to custom rom,

I recommend DON'T flash that SBF! Why? : Its a chinese and has the potential to fry your LED! And since it is not downgradable and rootable you may get stuck!(See this. From what I have seen in few threads there is a big chance your battery is dead and not charged!!

okay, if battery is dead why RSD connect it and every time status passed message appears.
PLz tell me what to do

I understand your concern and I appreciate your comment however, I would like to point this out that this firmware is for "India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam" and its safe to flash I have flashed it multiple times and its Rootable and even my flash is healthy.
You may visit this link and Control+F "JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1":
http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
The chinese firmware which is suspicious of burning flash is "China - JDGC_U6_0.26.0" [Correct me if I'm wrong.]

The ROM which I have given you link is Rootable however not down-gradable.
You may refer this extract from All-in-one-Guide-for-Defy
SBFs
SBF is how Motorola packs all the information to be Flashed on your phone. Inside this package are a lot of other files, each of these files named with CGXX where XX is a number.
So when you Flash a Full SBF, it takes the phone memory, format it, create the partitions and then copy the information inside these partitions. Each partition corresponds to a CGXX file. Here is where the eFuse thing kicks in.
There are a couple of CG files containing the version number of the Android you are flashing. So let’s say you are on Éclair Stock, first version, no updates no nothing. This version has a Version 1 number. When the phone gets updated, this version changes to Version 2 for example.
Each Android version has each own ID, once you go up, you CAN NOT go back, and this version is in CG31 AND CG39 files inside the SBF.
FIXED SBFs
Is a modified SBF without the CG31 and CG39 files, thus allowing to move between Android Versions freely.
Since the Fixed SBF creates all partitions but /System (CG39) and CDT (CG31), we need to copy System data using a Nandroid Backup or the phone will probably not work using the existing /System.
Nandroid Backup
This is just a .zip file flasheable with a Custom Recovery, this will Delete/Copy all the files in the /System and other partitions (depending on the Nandroid) without formatting or remaking the partition thus not modifying the system layout, eFuse or stuff; this is almost harmless, meaning you CANT brick your phone doing it, though you can make Android not boot and a new SBF or Nandroid would need to be installed.
CG Versions
With that explained let’s get to business with versions:
CG Version 2: SBF 2.21 / 2.34 / Chinese (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) (Defy)
CG Version 5: SBF 4.5.0 / 4.5.1 (Gingerbread) (Defy)
CG Version 6: SBF 4.5.1 (Gingerbread, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
CG Version 7: SBF 4.5.1 (Latests Gingerbreads, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
ATTENTION: This CG 7 Version is NOT rooteable. You wont be able to flash a lower version ROM nor Root to use CWM.
If you try to flash a lower ID version than the one already on your phone, you will just get a Black screen after booting or a screen telling you to flash an official rom.
So, with this in mind, you can now hop between Android versions without screwing up your phone.
If you have an Éclair Defy and would like to keep the ability to downgrade to it, you should ONLY install FIXED SBFs of the Android Version you want to install, and then use the corresponding Nandroid Backup for that Fixed SBF.
Official SBFs
Here is a list of all the OFFICIAL SBFs, meaning they come with ALL CGs, these SBFs put your phone like Motorola sold it to you, just need to keep in mind that going UP in versions with FULL SBFS <WONT> I repeat, <WONT> allow you to go back to an older version.
Knowing this you should be able to test every single Android version out there and being able to go to Stock without issues. Just be sure to understand how CG versioning works and you should be fine.

The only thing which is important here will be to use a Froyo or newer version SBF.

Thanks Rajneeshgadge17
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1 is working...
thanks you for your precious time.....
Defy is seems okay now and will tell you if i found any bug in this JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1.
I think i flashed every time with eclair and that was the main problem. First time flashed with froyo and black screen gone.
Thanks again and plz tell to root this rom is as easy like what i did with orignal froyo.
I did it with Super one click and than use 2ndint and moved to custom rom.
plz tell should i follow all those steps for rooting and for custom rom, or there is something new to be done for this flashed Rom.
Thanksssssss ,, i am so happy now

I'm glad to know that it’s finally working for you!!
Yeah to root this follows the same procedure as you have used with the Éclair...
Simply Turn on USB debugging and use Super One click to Root.... >>>> then use 2nd init apk to flash with the Custom recovery
All Izz Well!!

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------
One important thing for your information is the reason behind those black screens was that you must have flashed Froyo SBF before; which was not down-gradable and now at this point you were trying Éclair which resulted in this issue.
So, the Downgradibility of your previous flashed SBF was causing this issue.
Now, as you have flashed this Froyo SBF; so, now onward in case you need to flash you phone you need to use SBF which should be Froyo or newer and must have “3.4.3” or later Build Numbers.
Hope this helps someone who needs this information.

okay

Yesterday night I flashed with MotoGinger III for a change... so far so good. However, AutoWifi fix is resetting my wifi pwd every 15 mins or so ..

Occupied :/ now how to free that, miui occupied or rom flash occupied it. Internal storage is now just 15 mb left. How to use this defy now
But I used miui before flash, at that time I haven't experienced any low storage problem.

Battery OK
OK to program

at that point i thought i was done and didnt knew much about the rdslite and bootloader and all that stuff...i was gone crazy and tried to search a solution on google and found out that it was the sbf that was damaged so in a hurry i read this

Blur_Version.45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03 (2012/01/12)
when the process was complete i was so happy that i fixed my defy but i actually made it worse
now i was not able to root not able to install bootmenu or any thing else this all has happened just last weekend
first i accepted it and thought its better this way

(just that i used the sbf mentioned above not from the link given in this thread)
so when the rsdlite finished it said rebooting but it didnt reboot (just power went off) and then rsdlite said PASS
after that i thought that the process is compleate and removed device from usb but it didnt open(blank screen) and
so i tried to open it connecting usb and it didnt open but showed connected in rsdlite and my device showed white led light
since it was heating up i removed the usb and battery from my device and started posting in xda
and that should be all that i did in past 1hour....
