Hi umario
I've only done this a couple of times, so im no expert. One of my friends managed to mess up his phone, and when we flashed it the same thing happend to us (black screen). The phone did however connect to rsd, but the screen on the phone seems dead. Turn the phone on av push the volume button at the same time until rsd connect to the phone and flash one a rom from here:

Some of these gave me the same situation (black screen), but i think the nordic (2.2.2 Service Flashes) worked fine. After flash connect to the net and let it update market ++ before you root it.
Good luck
Thank you, but not working. Nordic 2.2.2 service flash not extract. error on the rar.
I trying the DE, AT, CH 2.2.2, but not work. Your friend phone is Defy or Defy+?
Edit: Not working with nordic 2.2.2
RSD completed - restart the phone - finish...pass, but only empty black screen, and white led. Battery is charged.
This phone is Plus

Hello,
I'm sorry, but I think you knocked your Defy+ into a coma.
Check out the second section about the 3 different versions of the Defy here
So far, there is no full SBF for Defy+.

Hi, I have the same problem, I have defy, not defy+ already and tried to write it every soft and nothing helps. some tips
i have same as this problem
mine is mb525 with green lens
can you help me?
Just for the record...
I have recently revived my defy+ last night. Just in case google will lead someone else to this thread with the 'white light' problem I sum up some of my observations:
This happened with me when I tried to downgrade my OTA updated Defy+ (4.3.6, CG version 7) to a stock sbf (4.3.5, CG version 5 or 6... Kids, don't try this at home). No (visible) bootloader/recovery, just a white led turning on when it's on USB (not recharging, though...) It seemed like it was totally bricked. I didn't want to do the infamous macgyver hack, so I waited for a day and then have my battery charged by a Defy-owner friend of mine.
Here's the checklist (for windows):
- make sure battery is on 100%. After flashing, mine depleted to 50%... you basically have 1 shot. If not on USB, i'd suggest you to take the battery out to be sure bootloader is not draining your battery. Seriously, you have like 20 minutes before a 100% charged new battery depletes .
- install Motorola drivers
- download an appropriate SBF (if you had an OTA update on defy+ it will be most likely a dfp-231 version). Place it as close to the filesystem root as it gets and rename it to something shorter. RSDLite still has some issues with long paths...
- Run RSDLite as root AND IN WinXp SP3 COMPATIBILITY MODE!
- Volume up, power button, release power button, wait for a second and you're hopefully in bootloader mode. Try this over and over again, while RSDLite can see your phone. Try to re-run RSDLite or restart windows if nothing helps. It's always freakin' windows
- If everything's OK and the phone is recognized, flash an sbf as soon as you can. If everything goes well, you will be able to get it to 100% In the meantime you can see something on the screen like 'flashing in progress'. It was the first thing my phone said in the last 2 days.
- Be patinet, it takes about 10 minutes. It will say 'PASS' when it's done. You are on stock rom. From now you can charge your phone to 100%, root, 2dinit, and flash something that actually works
Sorry if the answer is out there but I can't find it.
Here is the status of my Defy:
Tried flashing SBF with RSDlite after my recovery stopped working- install of twrp had problems- tried install new recovery- tried factory reset... and I got stuck in a bootloop.
Now RSD says "PASS", but phone wont boot. Tried taking battery out with power & volume buttons pushed, but it wont even enter that black screen bootloader.
I've tried flashing SBF again, no luck.
What can I do?
Keep trying to flash different SBF via RSD despite not getting into bootloader?
EDIT: Now not even charging light coming on even when hooked up macgyver
are you using the right kernel versions??? I flashed with a 231 version without knowing you cannot downgrade once you go higher so If I try to flash anything lower I get a error at boot or it just wont boot at all like you say. If you can try to flash the version you had on there before your problems then that would be the way to go. Or if you have tried to flash a higher version threw RSD lite then you will have to try that.
RSD lite should boot the phone for you if everything went well. I got a defy + so cant comment what SBF to flash.

if you are getting no boot what so ever try flashing a fixed sbf and starting all over again? 1.Download this SBF and Flash it
2.Root your Phone
3.Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery
4.Download and install this Nandroid Backup << FILE DOWN, please if you happen to have this file PM me>>
5.Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache
6.After wiping, turn off your phone
7.Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode
8.Flash this Fixed SBF
9.Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.

thanks but i've been to those threads before I posted this.
RSDlite DOES NOT recognise my phone anymore after the two failed sbf flashes, and I now cannot access bootloader.
the only sign i have that anything is working is the white charging led (and thats only on usb not on charger).
is it completely screwed???
no its never screwed. You may of ran your battery flat. Search for the method to use a old USB cable and cut the end off that plugs into a device and use the red and black wires and put the red on positive and the black on the negative of your battery terminals then slide the battery in to hold the wires in place.
When you boot the phone hold down the volume up button so it goes into bootloader. Its a matter of finding the right SBF file, You may need to flash a higher version then you where using its not ideal but if it saves you from buying another phone it will be worth it.
The highest is 231 but you have to flash 2 more SBF ontop to get it to root as you cannot root it apart from using the pre rooted SBF files.
here is a list of SBF files you surly could get one to work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
It may take you a few goes but something will work, try to flash a lower version then work your way up.
tried macgyver it, got it to show up in rsd so tried flash despite not getting into bootloader. RSD says PASS, but still can't boot.
charging light isn't showing either now, but the computer recognises the usb (when battery is hooked up macgyver style) at least. so there is hope.
do I need a new battery?
no you wont need a new battery. Dont leave the cable hard wired to the battery for extended periods as its not the ideal way to charge it and it can over charge the battery.
Your phone wont charge in the state its in with the USB cable attached that is why you need to use the macqyver way.
There will be a rom that will flash. If its being a real pain then flash one with the heighest CG version, you wont be able to flash any lower then that as you cannot downgrade once you go higher.
I have a defy + so cant comment on what SBF files to try but I am sure there is one out there that will work. Also there is a red and green lens defy so you might need the right rom for the right phone.
have you read and tried the all in one defy guide?? there is a few links to SBF files in there and there is a problems bit down the bottom with a SBF and instructions to fix problems

i did. thats when i realised things were getting bad, because it had an error...
after a failed sbf flash (i think battery died), now i can't get into stock recovery or bootloader (even when hooked up macgyver).
i'm investing $12 in a new battery, then Ill try RSD different SBFs untill one works.
Q- Does it matter if I'm not in bootloader when using RSD? rsd says 'pass' but nothing seems to change on my phone.
Q- Is it worth trying to push a new bootloader onto my phone, or is that included in SBFs?
Q- Can I hook Macgyver up a wall charger or just the computer?
Not even charging LED showing now so hoping it's just a fried battery from a wrong macgyver, and I'll flash an SBF with a new battery and it'll all be sweet
you need to be in bootloader or RSD wont see your phone
Not sure about a bootloader, the one you have should be fine. You will prob have to get the phone working to flash a new bootloader anyway. Not sure if they are in the SBF or not
You can hook up the macqyver up to the phone charger to. You shouldnt need a battery with the macqyver, You should be able to spin the battery around and use the plastic to wedge the wires into the terminals and it should still work.
I wouldnt recommend prolong use of this method as you could fry the battery or phone if done wrong or left in for extended periods. I would keep a close eye on the temp of the phone and battery.
I dont think the phone charges in bootloader at all (well at least mine didnt) I started with a battery 95% and then flashed a few SBF files and left it on thinking it was charging came back and it wouldnt show in RSD. I done the macqyver method and when I got it to work it had 6% battery so it went dead flat even though it was plugged in and white light was on.
Your battery may be fine it may just be dead flat. You will also have the same trouble with the new battery, Unless you get or have a external charger for the battery so you can charge it outside of the phone. It should also tell you if the battery is faulty.
fixed!!!!
macgyver hook up, flashed tmobile usa latest sbf, despite not having bootloader showing... and it worked!
was the 4th sbf i had tried.
so to that other bloke with the same problem, good luck, keep trying!!!
thats good to know told you it was a matter of trying to find the right SBF.
I went threw the same problem and flashed maybe 10 SBF before one worked but now it seems I can use any as long as the CG version is the same. I flashed ICS and loving it so far.
now when I can get the battery to charge i'll be happy!
otherwise i'll just carry a laptop & spliced usb cable around in my pocket so i can use my phone
glad to know RSD works even with a black screen showing no bootloader!
so the battery wont charge??? try to charge it with the macqyver method for 30 mins. But it should charge if the phone is off connecting the charger up to it, Unless you get the battery with ? in the centre. You may of stuffed your battery but try to charge it first.
I have a 12v charger that hooks up to a car battery and I can use that as a last resort only battery it wont do without a attachment is a lipo. I think it can do lion fine.
Edit: Sorry I should say if you get the battery with the ? in the centre its more to do with the software then the hardware. I have ICS 4.0.4 and could only charge to 83% I copied over many battd.bin files one worked (but got to 93%) the rest came up with the battery with ? in the centre so it wouldnt charge and when I booted it said battery was full but it was only 60%. I found a fix for it (this is for defy) it was a CM7 fix and I am using CM9 but it now charges to 100% and works fine.
You should be able to flash another version with the same CG version. if you are not sure post the link up in another thread asking for the version and people will tell you. As if your on froyo then I have no clue of there versions and what can and cant be done.

Flash Different SBF, because you were using low version SBF
Hi there,
I bricked my Defy Plus from CM10, 2ndInit. I've wanted to flash again the original .sbf cause of warranty issues. I wasn't sure witch version I had on the original so I thought I'll go from one to one in the list of droid developers SBF( can't create link )
After flashing with RSD light there was 2 possible outcome:
1. Flashing completed normally but after device rebooted, it hanged at the Motorola Logo infinetly.
2. Flashing completed, but the device turned off itself, and after trying to turn on, nothing was rendered, HOWEVER I've noticed, that it can be still booted into bootloader mode, cause I could see it listed in the RSD Lite device list.
I thought that was the worst case scenario, turns out its not:
After flashing DFP-137 device cannot be turned on, won't apper in RSD Lite, nothing.
A symptem is, that if connected the white led glows.
Is it possible I bricked it to such state, that I've got no options? If not, what should I do.
I think the cell got supply, cause I licked it, and felt normal ( electricity was riding trough my thoung ).
Any tipps are welcome, hit me!
Maybe it's low on battery, did you factory reset from stock recovery?

No, I figured for removing rooted state, I should reflash the full .sbf.
As I said, it feels charged, mb I'll try go for McGuyver charing method.
If I can reanimte my Defy into bootloading state, how do I know witch .sbf is the correct one??

Hi, there!
I'm not an expert, but maybe I can give you a direction as a starting point.
Either your battery is empty and only needs to be reloaded or it is to old, so you have to get a new one.
A third posibility is, that the battery is empty and had not always contact to get loaded, but that I can't say from here and it's up to you, to check over.
And also your cable and your plug could be damaged.
Your options:
1. Reload your battery (and test its health) in another device or an external loader. You could put it in another Defy of a friend. Or bring it to a service center for cell phones for reloading.
2. You could otherwise buy an new (loaded) battery. Service center again?
3. Finally you could try the following method with the risk of a final damage to your battery:

As long as the white LED is there, you are fine. Just charge that thing for some hours.
If you have a nandroid backup you can restore that without the battery but with the wall charger connected.

I don't have any advice really, but just wanted to note that I've experienced something similar. I'm on the Nov 2 CMX build from Quarx.
Every couple of days, my phone won't charge when connected to wall charger or USB, signal bars never change, wifi is dead, and clock is dead. My phone basically stops functioning altogether until I reboot. Rebooting always seems to fix it for me though.
If you need advice on which SBF to flash send me a PM or something. I had to flash an SBF for the first time a month or two ago, and finding the proper SBF was the most difficult part of it all.
Thanks for the help guys, i can flash the sbf, but now i get "code corrupt" and "battery low" errors. I can charge the phone via pc, but its restart in 5 minute. I keep charging it, but after 3 hour its still "low battery" message. With wall charger, the phone enter to bootlader and 1-2 minutes later the "battery low" error disappear but no charging led. After this the phone dont have enough battery life (i keep doing this charging method for 2 hours)
Charge your battery longer.
Check the MD5SUM of your SBF

I tried everything. When usb-pc in, i see the white led. 5 minutes later the phone enter to bootloader mode. Low Battery, Cant program error messages flashing. After 2 minutes the phones say "OK" and RSD lite recognize the phone! BUT! I cant do the whole flashing process, because 3 minutes later the phone shut down. If i wait to charge more in the bootloader more, its still shut down in 3 minutes.
I try to shut down the device everytime if its enter to bootloader, to charge more, but after 8 hours doing this, its still "low battery".

I think, we are at a point at which we are running in circles, my friend.
You tried just everything to reanimate your phone.
You must check your battery in ANOTHER device or load it in ANOTHER external charger to be sure that it's okay. Not in your phone and not in your PC.
If the battery charges well, then your phone is either physically damaged or bricked.
(Service Center needed)
Otherwise, if it's (battery) just charging fine and your phone boots up, first flash stock SBF and then flash what you want to.
If the battery isn't charging in that OTHER charger, then you know, you have to buy a new one.
Another thought, not very likely, but maybe your phone is damaged by overclocking/heat and suffers due to this under those permanent blackouts?
Bottom line is: you need another Defy with another battery to find out for yourself to solve your problem.
Unfortunately there is no wizardry
Question:
Is it necessary to go to boot loader for charging?
(I'm not sure about that.)
As a try, just let the phone off connected to power for a couple of hours.

I flashed 4.5.3-109-fixed.sbf and i GOT MOTOROLA BOOT LOGO! but always bootloop.

its okay? And i get fully working rom? (i know its defy+ but with the fixed sbf its partially working)
Glad to read that. This is good news :highfive:
Nope, unfortunately you won't get it running with a Defy+ SBF without having trouble/more work on your side.
Better download a MB525 SBF playing the game save. But it's your very own decision.
First see here (Maybe you already know all this stuff):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
Then, after lots of reading, swearing and understanding read on here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
_________________________________
Okay, I would take one of the MB525 SBFs from the "Android 2.2.2 "Froyo" section (3.4.2... or 3.4.3...)
NOT any Chinese SBF = no go!
But watch out for your Bootloader version (BL5, BL6) and your type of camera (red or green lense).
After flashing your stock ROM/SBF and the initial rooting, I would first make a NANDROID backup (CWM Custom Recovery) to have a clean ground.
Then I would first flash the stable CM7.2.0 and also do a NANDROID backup (CWM Custom Recovery) to have a solid home base for playing around.
Finally I would flash the latest Nightly of CM10 02.11. + Update from 07.11. completed with gapps minimal or gapps signed from 2012.10.11 (Google apps Android 4.1.2)
Much work to do for you, but remember: Even the longest way starts with only one little first step.
:fingers-crossed:
So, I had some issues with my Defy+...
I tested the latest 4.1.2 nightly and seemed like my backup was corrupted (?!) and I had to flash a 2.3.6 BL-6 .SBF since the backup would make me enter a bootloop.
Well, I tried with different .SBFs and sadly all of them have the same effect: the flashing process moves smooth, except that in the moment when I'm asked to power it up it's entering a bootloop.
Now, my battery STILL has some inside, but trying to charge it won't work(gives me the "?" sign). Don't know what should I do. Should I leave the phone in the bootloop until the battery goes away and then to re-flash a .SBF?...
Or my flashing process wasn't good enough and there's a workaround I don't know?... I don't want to brick my phone forever.
Charge battery with mcgyver metod or with other defy & reflash it with 231 sbf. For more info read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537

Once you have flashed the sbf and back on stock you need to go into the moto recovery and do a restore to default / format system. that should get around the boot loop issue... at least it did for me...

Hi together, well I hope this is the right place.... I'm owner of a motorola Defy MB 525 that ran without any problems on cm9 nightly for last 6 month. Now suddenly it doesn't start any moer andIi can't access recovery setup nor anything else so it's impossible to wipe anything, too. When connected to my notebook only the white LED is shining but nothing happens. The typical "hardware-found-ping" appears and several seconds later the " hardware was removed ping." The right drivers are installed on my notebook, but even RSD Lite doesn't found my Defy so I can't flash enything. Anyone has any Idea what to to?
Thank's in advance for any help!

Do you connect it to RSD in bootloader mode? Volume + when powering on. What is on the screen then?

So, I had some issues with my Defy+...
I tested the latest 4.1.2 nightly and seemed like my backup was corrupted (?!) and I had to flash a 2.3.6 BL-6 .SBF since the backup would make me enter a bootloop.
Well, I tried with different .SBFs and sadly all of them have the same effect: the flashing process moves smooth, except that in the moment when I'm asked to power it up it's entering a bootloop.
Now, my battery STILL has some inside, but trying to charge it won't work(gives me the "?" sign). Don't know what should I do. Should I leave the phone in the bootloop until the battery goes away and then to re-flash a .SBF?...
Or my flashing process wasn't good enough and there's a workaround I don't know?... I don't want to brick my phone forever.

If you haven't flashed yet try to keep with BL6 sbfs, and not BL7 like 231.
After battery charge try to get to stock recover (volume down when powering on) and wipe data/factory reset before flashing.
bootloader

Hi, I can't enter bootloader mode, nor anything else. The screen stays dark and the phone doesn'treact. Only mi notebook pings when i press the startbutton one phone. Once for Hardware detected and seconds later for hardware removed. from time to time the notebook tries to find drivers, but couldn't and abort searching.
