I flashed my Defy with froyo, then installed CM7, i charged it to 20% battery and turned it on. All worked fine for a couple of minutes, but afterwards it started restarting every 30 secs, So i tried flashing it again with the Chinese froyo (I'm from Israel, if it matters), but without charging the battery back to full, Which means I started flashing with about 15% battery.
I finished flashing rsdlite wrote "pass" and everything but the defy wouldn't power up, it just shows white led whenever i plug it to my PC. rsdlite recognized it in the first couple of hours and i tried flashing froyo again and again, but after a while even rsdlite didn't recognize it anymore.
I read a thread here that said that the phone doesn't charge in boot mode, and i thought that might be the problem, so i took out the battery and charged it at a phone store for about 15 minutes, then tried to turn it on but still no powering up. So now I have a defy that doesn't power up and isn't even recognized by rsdlite.
I'm hopeless, I loved my defy very much, and I really need an clue.
I'll do anything!
Thanks for reading this far, I hope you can help me

Tried it, didn't work, I also tried to charge the battery already so I think its not just a dead battery problem, its probably more than that.
Hi there and welcome to the forums. You didn't mentioned which was the base OS you've had on your Defy before installing CM7, but I'll assume you have had a Froyo version, maybe the stock one (please provide more details).
If you flashed nordic SBF before installing CM7 or if you had official Froyo on your phone then you won't be able to Flash the leaked Chinese Froyo. It has some partitions with version code -2- like Eclair, whereas the nordic ROM has the code -4- and therefore it's not possible to directly downgrade by applying the Chinese SBF.
To revive your Defy you must charge your battery (at least 50% to be sure it will have enough juice and will last the whole process), then start it in stock recovery (Vold Down+ Power and then by pressing both volume buttons when the android with exclamation mark appears) and wipe data+cache. After this step you can start your phone in bootloader mode (Vol Up + Power) and flash again the initial ROM you had right before installing CM7.
you are from israel right?
why you choose chinese froyo for god sake?
some chinese froyo sbf is intended only for different DEFY (ME525) / Chinese Defy, and normal Defy is MB525.
it could damage your flashlight and phone.
use sbf from central europe froyo for best result installing CM7.
thanks guys, I charged the battery, got rsdlite to recognize the phone, and flashed a UK sbf, now its back on, working, and showing that motoblur animation.
I guess now all that's left is to install a 2.1 OS and everything should work.
(Please correct if I got this wrong, since I AM a noob and i really don't want to make another mistake)
THANKS ALOT!
If you flashed a full Froyo SBF then you cannot install Eclair SBF. It's not possible to directly downgrade after you have flashed Froyo using a full SBF. However you can easily flash a Froyo official ROM or... why not CM7 or MIUI.
Thing is... I already flashed 2.1, and got it to the point where it shows me the M logo. but it didn't go any further than that. i tried flashing a 2.3.3 ROM, same thing happens, M logo but nothing more. right now im back to this version of 2.2:
p3_jordan_umts_jordan-user-2.2.1-3.4.2-107_JDN-4-000000-release-keys-signed-T-Mobile-US.sbf
and I'm getting an animation of Motoblur with nothing else.
flaah nordic sbf then go to cm7. Follow the guide read first cm7 faq before proceeding

All you do is flashing.. Have you actually do total wipe in recovery? Since you're having the motoblur animation splash screen, it is obviously your previous data is conflicting while the phone is trying to boot normally..

I believe you are right about wiping, I've bricked my phone to the point i couldn't turn the phone on. So all you usually have to do is flash the full sbf, when it tries to boot it gets stuck on the m logo, just pull the battery, power it up holding volume down wait for the the triangle and press the middle of the volume rocker and it will take you to the stock recovery. Wipe and factory rest, flash the sbf again.
wipe/factory reset didn't fix it, though I noticed nordic sbf got it to show the android animation.
is it possible that I need to install a rom after I flash an sbf? and if so, how can I install a rom (custom recovery doesn't give me an option to install a zip, only "update.zip").
do I install some sort of 2ndinit?
do I install a rom through "update.zip"?
sorry once again for another (hopefully last ) noobish questions.
The SBF is a full ROM so atfer flashing a SBF there is no need to put another ROM via recovery, unless you want to do so (let's say you'd like to install CM7 or MIUI). If you haven't flashed a 2.3.4 full SBF you should be able to revive your Defy using the nordic SBF. Try to download it again or try a different one (one of those official SBF's released this summer).
I did install a 2.3.4 full sbf, but it too didnt work, tried a factory reset + cache wipe, and reflashing the 2.3.4 and it's still stuck on the M logo
Ive done something stupidly wrong.. Help me please..
Ok Ive a me525 and I tried to flash my phone with JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0_CHN_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA030.0R_USAJORDANRTINT_P029_A018_HWp3_Service1FF
Was not sure what I was doing at that moment(just following a guide/tutorial on YouTube)After the whole progress with RSD lite, my device turned black as the title says with only showing a white led light. Was getting pretty deperate thinking about I had broken the phone.. :crying:
I have searched for a solution on the forums saw some people did get their device repeared, but everything they had done didnt worked for me..
So please help this boy in need.. We dont have lots of money to spare so buying a new phone isnt really a fast option..
p.s. Not sure though but would a chinese sbf work and where would I find one?
Hi guys
Before I explain I'd like to say that yes, I have read other threads on similar topics, although none seem to have the same symptoms as me...
This week I bought a software-bricked Defy on eBay with the hopes of fixing it and giving it to a friend. I first tried flashing an old Eclair SBF to no avail (only switched on to bootloader) and thought that it could be failing due to it being on a newer firmware. So then I tried Froyo, and when that didn't work either (bootloops like when I received the phone) I thought my last resort was a CG 5 SBF, so I went for the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 build. This seems to get further into the booting process, with the MotoBLUR animation appearing but I get a BP Panic - 0x00080010 above the animation before the phone switches off. Thinking I had nothing to lose I tried a Gingerbread ROM, but that just bootlooped too so I went back to 97.21.51. I realise I've probably painted myself into a corner by flashing these
I'm all out of ideas with how to get the phone any further and have searched for the BP panic to no avail. I can get into stock recovery and bootloader, although the recovery seems to have issues with accessing the cache sometimes.
Thanks for reading
The same panic have y for the last 2 weeks, after flashing hangs in bootloader (red logo and no animation), after other flash hangs on a animated red logo and thats where you must give it time 3 or 4 min. wating, when its dont works you can try to pul out battery and do it in again while you hold the start and vol. down button, then in recovery menu wipe Dalvik cache and wipe cahe. Maby it works then, when not you can try like me to go again tho recovery and there restore stockrom, thats the way ym getting my defy work again. There are many ways to get it back to work again and it cost me 2 weeks after flashing maby 15 diverend roms to get it works and even than when it works, 2 days work whit rooting it and get 3G alive. So when you think its dead, maby RSDlite can bring it back to live, just like here.
Now my Defy MB525 working like a Defy 526 on Gingerbread.
So don't give up, when you can see whit RSDlite the phoon, it must be possible to get it work, only problem here was on a moment when the battery was empty, but here on XDA you can find the megayver method (charging on a ohter cell like a duo) or what y have don, get my old nokia loader (5V) and whit 2 wires hangs on the battery power it up to 4.1 V, succes.
Thanks, although I was just getting repeated boot loops rather than it hanging on the logo... And that wasn't animated either. How did you manage to restore the stock ROM through the recovery? Did you have a flashable zip? Please bear in mind that I did not get a custom recovery installed
I'll look out for the low battery problem. Thanks for your advice

Thanks, although I'm pretty sure I did wipe cache and data... and I definitely did (several times ) after flashing Gingerbread. I feel like whatever is preventing Froyo and Gingerbread from booting is the same thing as what is giving me the BP panic on the CG 5 Eclair ROM.
I would suspect a hardware issue here.w
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
I think it might be too It's a shame because I can enter recovery and bootloader okay, and the seller said it broke during a failed software update so I thought it would be a simple matter of reflashing an SBF.
what is bp panic?
what happens when it is booting?
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
When I try to boot the CG 5 Eclair I get past the static Motorola logo (hence further than any other build) but the MotoBLUR animation is stuttery, with a BP panic at the top (see picture). This goes on for quite a while, then the phone switches off and this loops.
Ok if occurred during a software update, find out which he was installing and try that one. May also be worth trying motoupdate.
Sent from my MB525 using Tapatalk
I might try that, but won't it be useless now that I've flashed CG 5? I'll look into MotoUpdate
Is the general consensus that this is an unfixable hardware issue, then?
Apolgoies if you've already tried this, but I had a Defy which would do the same, either stuck on M logo or error in bootloader.
Each time I just plugged it into PC / USB at bootloader screen, and used RSD Lite to try another ROM. Eventually I found one which worked. I think I tried 5 before finding one which didn't cause any problems.
My defy was a ME525+ and the ROM which finally worked was "DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-132_BLUR"
So, if you haven't already, I'd just suggest try a few more ROMS, flashed from Bootloader / RSD Lite.
Hope it helps somehow
Hi, i have some questions about the 2ndboot updates. I had tested cm10 for a while now (but currently in cm7.2), but i got a little lost with this whole kernel update.
1st of all, in quarx page i don't see a "cm10-2ndboot-nightly-defy/" folder, just the one for defy+, this new builds are only for defy plus yet?, or there work on both devices?
and if they do, how sould i install them, do they change to 2ndboot by themselves or do i have to do it myself?

They are for both and no change is required from your part in the bootmenu settings
I've tried flashing 10.11 and update.zip today, with no luck.
I first tried flashing over my original cm10 (9.12 - froyo kernel, on green lens) - wiped cache, then dalvik.
boot loops on red led
then i tried wiping all data/cache and flashing both again
same boot loops
next i tried flashing a new sbf (t mobile usa 2.1 updated to 2.2 - then rooted and 2ndinit)
now still waiitng at red led on boot, but no boot loops.
I have read the bootup time is very long the first time, but I've let it sit over 15 minutes, and tried a battery pull and let it sit another 15 minutes.
I am about to try again from nordic deblur 2.2 sbf
Am i doing something wrong? I'm not an expert at this stuff, but i'm usually pretty good about following directions. please help!
Amazing job again Quarx and everyone!
Start fresh; use the ultimate wiper for defy and flash cm11/10, and them flash only update v2

I think You've misundersttod my friend. There no long time of bootlooping. Theres a long first boot. Boot lopping shouldn't happen continuously.
Maybe following the steps below from a post on the defy general forum should help

BIGNOTE: Green lens users who flashed redlens builds please dont try using flash, you will end up burning it like me and many others.
STEPS TO FOLLOW WHEN YOU HAVE BOOTLOOPS OR BLACK SCREEN WITH RED LED ON:
-1st of all set default boot to 2nd-boot
-Go to recovery and flash the 24.9 build
-Then flash the kernel 6.10
-After that flash the latest build
-Wait and you will have your phone working proper.

Also you cont just go down to a previous sbf version. Youve flashed a custom kernel. You would need to go to your standard kernel which you would find elsewhere. I think the CM10 faqs have the 525 and 526 kernels
i followed the same procedure as last time, but this time starting from the nordic deblur sbf and everything worked fine. no bootloops. long first boot time. If anyone tries this, do NOT use the official tmobile USA sbf. didn't work for me at all. I'm guessing that's why i had problems with 9/24 build as well.
Flashing nordic to workaround red led + black screen ?

Hi,
Your message rings a bell to me !
I have tried to flash cm10 18/10 + update_v4 on my Defy (green lens) but I have failed, I always get stuck on red led + black screen. Waiting or removing battery and retrying did not help. Wiping did not help either. I am coming from cm7, had never flashed cm9 or cm10 before, and before cm7 my phone was on french froyo stock rom 3.4.2-164.
Do you think I should try to flash another sbf, such as nordic deblur sbf as you did ?
Is your bootloop like that:
Splashscreen -> red LED + black screen -> Splashscreen -> red LED + black screen
If yes, you should think about upgrading your bootloader...
Had the same problem and was on BL5, some people in Support thread had the same prob on BL5...
So I flashed this chinese rom, rooted and upgraded to cm10 and everything worked fine for me.
Use this SBF just as a stepstone to CM10, because it may break your flashlight or ****.
Make sure you have snd-init on your sd, cause there is no gapps on the sbf...
well thats it...

In my case, it's not looping, it is stucked on red led + black screen.
did you wipe cache and dalvik?
or did you try a clean installation?

Hi all
So, I have a problem with my Defy (MB525 green lens). The best will be, if I'll write my full story. Here is it:
Story
I had Defy with CM 10. It had bloated battery. I wasn't using it for 6 months because I have another phone.
Some time ago, I decided, that I'll give Defy to my grandfather. On Tuesday this week I bought new original battery. I put it in the Defy, and charge it. I could boot up my old system as I wrote, CM 10. While it was charging, I detected that I haven't got SD Card. On the other hand, I found some 4GB Samsung SD, which had my father in his Desire. The SD Card had 3 partitions, which I tried to delete, and make only one, with GParted. After I did it, Linux and Windows can't see it. (This is almost other problem, which I'm trying to solve here http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=350683)
But, when I put the CD Card to Defy, in TWRP recovery I could see some strange symbols. I thought, that I can repair something when I wipe SD Card. When the battery charged, I decided to do factory reset and wipe SD card. Here is my first failure. In TWRP I went to custom wipe, and here I marked everything including system and I wiped it. Then I remembered that system is recovery too. TWRP wrote, that everything except SD-Ext and SD was wiped. I known that this will be a problem. Yes, after reboot only Motorola logo without recovery.
I think, there was only one option - flash SBF, which I did. I went to stock bootloader and with sbf flash in Linux, I flashed this:
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P016_A016_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
And than this:
CM7RC1.5_16_09_11_custom.sbf
After reboot, I got bootloop. I tried to replace battery, do factory reset but nothing helped. That time I haven't got working card, so I couldn't flash some zip via CWM recovery. Thus, I again flash another SBF, but I don't really remember which. Probably some official CEE Froyo however, I'm not sure.
After that and reboot, I got only black screen with white led lighting while USB was connected. When I wanted to go to stock bootloader, still black screen, but I can flash SBF, and while flashing, screen have brightness and text about flashing.
I knew that this is little hard brick. I again tried to flash other SBF which I have or I downloaded (yes, again I don't know which). One of SBFs which I flashed was some fixed Chinese SBF . That made my defy booting, screen working, but still bootlooping. I couldn't reach any recovery.
Again, I flashed other SBFs, CM's too but nothing worked and I got black screen again.
And this was end of my story.
Current situation
I have Defy (MB525 green lens), with unknown framework an it had only black screen and what only I can do, is break Defy with hammer or flash some SBF.
So, here is list of all SBF files, that I have downloaded and probably tried to flash: (No order)

Probably that is all what I have.
I've read many topics with similar problem and guides, but nothing helped me, or SBFs were unavailable.
So, what have I to flash, or which guide to try, if I want working Defy?
Sorry for my not good English
Thanks

Wohooo!!
Story
After a long time (4 months)...
Accidentally today I found my favorite custom ROM - MoKee OS, for Defy. I said to myself: "Hm, I have some time... I'll try to flash this MoKee on my Defy and maybe it solve my problem with (not) charging/unknown battery for system."
I picked out box with Defy from drawer, wiped the dust, took the Defy and said: "Sh*t! I haven't got SD Card!" Fortunately I found one. I download MoKee OS zip on that SD Card, put it to Defy, booted to recovery and flash MoKee OS zip. (...with full wipe of course...) Then rebooted to system.
Uselessly. Still unknown battery. "Hmm, It doesn't matter. Maybe here are some new stuffs which can solve my problem." And I continued to finding something, that can solve my problem. After a while I found ROMs with new 3.0 Kernel by Quarx. HERE. I downloaded CM 11 EXPERIMENTAL with this kernel and update recovery and flashed them. I didn't read thread. After reboot system didn't boot up and TWRP was inaccessible. I found why when I read some posts from that thread. HERE. But I couldn't flash that zip via recovery because I couldn't open recovery. So I mount /system to USB from bootloader and added files from zip manually to /system partition. After reboot it jammed on booting up. But TWRP was accessible so I did full wipe and flashed CM 11 EXPERIMENTAL and than that fix zip by @lorcotti. After that it finally booted up and battery was working and charging!
And they all lived happily ever after. :laugh:
SO, If you have some problem as me (unknown battery after flashing GB SBF on MB525), try this:
1. Download recovery and some ROM from [Kernel][GPL] Development 3.0 Kernel and fix from this post.
2. Put all zips on your SD Card.
3. Boot up to recovery.
4. Flash update-recovery.zip.
5. Reboot to recovery.
6. Do full wipe.
7. Flash ROM with 3.0 Kernel.
8. Flash Fix.
9. Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
10. Reboot to system.
If you want, you can flash GAPPS via recovery too.
But this will not be for daily usage! 3.0 Kernel by Quarx have a lot of bugs!
Thanks all!

Today I again tried to flash chines SBF. This one: JDGC_U6_2.13.0 China Unicom Thread/Download !!!BL6 kernel !!!
JDGC_U6_2.13.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANAPCNCU_P017_A042_M006_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
...and now I have bootable phone . I read many topics again and I got to know how to aces stock recovery. So I made wipe on this chines ROM and I can boot without loop, but I can only do emergency call with SIM it is the same. So, now, I don't know, what have I to do/flash, how to root it and flash here custom rom. Can I use SuperOneClick if it probably haven't got turned on USD Debugging?
Back on black
So, I made sbf file with depacker...
CMG39 from JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTCEE_P011_A010_HWp3_Service1FF

Than the bootscreen changed from chines logo to grey motorola logo and I got Bootloader (9.00) Error A5,70,39,00,27. After that I flashed another sbf and I got Error A5,70,00,00,23. Than I flashed DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed.sbf and now I again have only black screen. F*ck!
I tried to flash my made sbf and chines one (JDGC_U6_2.13.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANAPCNCU_P017_A042_M006_HWp3_Service1FF) too but nothing...
Really here is nobody who can help please??? I want give Defy as Christmas gift. :crying:
OK, so repetition.
What mistakes I've made
1. I wipe wipe all including system partition in TWRP without any flashable zip on SD card.
2. I continued with flashing original SBF, while I have usable CWM.
3. I flashed many no downgradable GB SBFs.
4. I flashed Defy Plus SBF on Defy.
I hope that there is still hope.
Somehow to downgrade, flash only CWM where I can flash nandroid backup or I don't know what else...
a gingerbread sbf should also work on green lens defy as there is no diff. in hw... instead the cam
have you tried a factory reset in stock recovery after sbf flash ?

Now, after all (which I tried) SBFs I get only black screen. I tried many GB SBFs too, but still black screen...
I'm going to try some another Poland SBFs and than if that won't work, I'll try to flash all in Froyo CEE SBF particularly.
Thanks for your response.
Once you've flashed GB stock sbf you can't go back staight to froyo or else
Read the beginners guide and the SBF matrix sektion carefully.. if you haven't...

DFP 231 has been flashed by you, so no froyo sbf will work. Black screen on dfp 231 indicates some eMMC problem, because bl version is highest(no error possible). IMHO only service centre can disable bl check or replace the main board to fix the problem
The problem should have been solved at the boot loop issue by wiping from stock recovery, no network solved by baseband/radio fixes. Check the rsdlite log file to confirm checksum/access errors. I think that the custom sbf somehow messed up either eMMC or efuse(less likely, unheard of).
For sdcard error wipe everything using hdd llf. If any error persists it's a hardware issue

I know, I read it few times, and I know how it is (not) working. But, after all GB SBFs I got only black screen, so maybe were not correctly flashed... I'm using Linux and here is sbf_flash for flashing SBFs, and in it I can't view informations about phone as in RSD Lite... But maybe, it will work in wine..
Do you now, that if I flashed GB SBF, I have to flash another GB to solve my problem, because no Froyo will work?
@thekguy
I know how I can solve others problems. Only what I need help to solve is black screen.
Can't I flash something which support that high BL or it won't work?
check if you get into Bl. modus
press vol. up & then power button
tell what you see

That's what I'm saying, the black screen problem occurs due to bl version mostly, and you have highest bl, so in theory black screen is impossible. Unfortunately I have never seen in this forum any defy recovering from black screen after flashing dfp231. Check rsd log from windows if possible. Froyo sbf cannot work under any circumstance. You must flash only gb sbf

I'm stuck in same problem, downloading this sbf you mention before, hope it works. Fu^kin defy, it sucks
@Alejandrissimo
Good luck...
I have another problem. Now, I have GB kernel. In original 2.3.6 GB on MB525 green camera don't work, and battery too. So, I thought that, when I flash Froyo kernel (CM) and CM7 I got back Froyo kernel and working camera and battery. Yes, this was not possible. After I did it and rebooted it I got Bootloader error. I flashed DFP-231 again. Worked.
Than I tried restore Froyo from nandroid which I found something here on forum. Than I flashed CM7 and bootloader error again.
Now I have CM7 by Maniac for defy plus which worked well except camera and battery... I know that here are many topics about downgrading, camera fixing and others but all which I read are bad in something for me...
Here are some options what I found but I don't know if I can use one:
Method 2: (BIG thanks to Jebrew again for this one)
NOTE: You are going to need CM7 for this one. CM7 Stable version recommended.

DOWNGRADE
If you come from Android 2.1 and never flashed Android 2.2 you can use the fixed sbf-files method. With this method you will have a option to downgrade to you personal stock Android 2.1 via direct sbf flash.

Congrats man! Seems that rsdlite on Windows is the most reliable solution. Now to fix everything just flash cm10 (jelly bean) or later rom. It includes fixes for camera and battery
Again, no downgrading bl(not even jtag will work)

Oh, ok. I'll try it. Thanks.
Hmm, and than, can I flash CM7 by Maniac or JB/GB WIUI and fixes in CM10 will still working?
Ms2ginger is not good for me because it haven't got slovak language. I'll give defy to my grandfather.
//And now, in Quarx CM 10 my battery don't charge. I tried 2 chargers and charging via USB too.
In options, battery is still "60% - Unknown"

There's a cm7 2ndboot build which should work for you. Try cm10.1 or above, problem should be solved.
JB wiui includes those fixes, as does cm7 2ndboot. I don't think that wiui GB has them. I would personally go for cm10.1 or above

Go into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. That must be done after every time you flash with SBF.

The only thing I can think of is that your phone is a Defy (MB525, with a SoC camera module) and you flashed a Defy+ (MB526, with a Bayer camera module) ROM on your phone.
When that happens, your camera will only work if you flash any of the JB Roms with 2nd boot (basically any new latest ROM), as far as I know, since it's impossible to downgrade back to stock Android 2.1/2.2.
Regarding your battery, it is charging, but the system doesn't know it is, because, kind of like stated above, the Defy+ comes with a 1700 mah battery, and the Defy comes with a 1500 mah battery, therefore the system doesn't know which one it is.
Search for certain battery fixes here on XDA, and flash the one that corresponds to the battery you have.
If you haven't (which is most likely true), you should have probably read this first.
