[Q] Bricked Defy and not recognized by my USB

Guys,
First of all, hello to all! So, I followed a tutorial to install Froyo on my Defy. Now I'm stuck with my phone trying to boot as soon as i put the battery on, but it never makes it past the "M". I can get into recovery. I wiped data, cache and tried to install the "update.zip" but it aborts saying "signature verification failed." I have the boot file (that was the next step) to install using RSDlite 4.9 but the phone is not even recognized any of my USB ports. Any ideas? Thanks to all in advanced.

press volumn up buton and power button on boot , once you saw the backlit is on , release the button , you will see the rsd litle showing your usb .
dont worry . i think it is your first time to use RSD only

yea i been through that ( doesnt work on vista )
you need to install rsd lite and 2.51 UK Firmware ( no usa )
google it and you will find it or on this forum
install usb driver from motorola webiste
install rsd lite
put uk firmware in ... C drive/ program files / motorola / rsd lite
install driver
If your phone is stuck on " M " then pull battery out
turn on and quicky press power + vol up ( i think ) before M even appear
wait till it say your boot loader and your battery
plug phone in
start rsd lite
on ... look up your uk firmware that you you recently put in rsd lite folder
then you should see your phone connected on the 1 slot
then hit start or something and wait it out .

Thanks guys! But I've been messing around with this thing for so long, I drained the battery. I had to run it up to the local phone store to get it charged. I'll pick it up in a couple of hours and give your advice a try.

Hey guys! it worked! I'm up and running. Now, anyone has a link to bypass this Welcome to Motoblur screen. Is there a Custom Froyo or Gingerbread Rom out there without Motoblur?

Alright... I'm up and running, but no camera!!! Heck, it was a learning experience. I guess I'll go back to 2.1 now. LOL

So the Chinese ROM was rooted. I installed Clockworkmod and restored from the backup i had made of the original 2.1 OS. I'm back to a rebooting phone not making it past the "M" I went back to RSDlite and realized the boot file said 2.2 only. Can anyone assist me finding the right one to go back to original. I haven't been able to find a thread about reverting back to original.

The more I read, the smarter I get seems like the only thing I'm missing here is the SBF file for my original T-Mobile OS. I'm looking at the motorola website, but I can't find it. Can anyone point me to it? Thanks all! Oh yeah, this is the first android phone i mess with so my apologies.

There is no us sbf file. You have to flash a uk version and restore 3g with the posted fix. You can find the links to available sbf files on this forum. They are not available thru moto's site.

Just to make sure I got it right. After using clockworkmod to restore to my factory backup, I need to use the UK sbf to be able to boot to it. Correct?

I found the sbf for Central Europe with no Motoblur. Does anyone know of any issues with it?

well the only way to fix this if you previously backed up your rom/files with recovery ( good thing i did this ). If not then you have to live with what you got.

I backed up my original firmware using clockworkmod. I flashed to the Chinese 2.2 but my camera didn't work. Since the camera is important to me, the Chinese Froyo was a deal breaker. I installed clockworkmod again and "recovered" from my original backup but now my defy won't boot. Did I miss a step?

Your data from the backup may cause issues when rolling backwards. Install an eclair sbf, then restore. That worked for me.
On another note there is a fix for the camera. Check the forums.

Just try and install the Motorola Drivers in your desktop and open RSDLite and press 'show devices' button. It will surely show the details of your phone.
Then point RSDLite to the stock SBF and flash away.

Thanks! Vignesh. But i have drivers installed. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. But did not help
Edit:
I missed to mention. My defy did not connect to desktop even before bricking.

If you hear the USB plugged in sound in your Pc, it's a messed up driver installation. If you don't hear the sound, it can be a bad cable, or a faulty microusb port (assuming that your pc usb works fine). Try once in a different pc and with a different microusb cable.

I do not hear any sound from desktop/laptop.
I think I stuck in boot loop. When I try to power on the phone, it just shows CM7 boot logo for few seconds then restarts again shows the boot logo... this happens continually. When I try to enter into recovery, it does not go to CWM recovery instead it goes to stock recovery. I am still able to enter into boot loader. In boot loader, it says battery OK connect USB to program. When I connect USB, it is recognized by phone and says transfer mode: USB. But my PC does not shows up the phone.
I tried re-installing drivers and RSDlite many times but no luck. But I have nandroid backup of CM7. Is there any possibilities to enter into CWM recovery?
Any help is appreciated.
Edit:
I tried even different USB cables and PCs also.

MS2 is charging even using RSD.....

RSDLite only shows the PASS sign after the device completely booted and connected again via Motorola Phone Utilities or something like that.
Considering your battery isn't empty: turn on the phone, and connect it to your PC. Start up RSD Lite and the device should show up. Now flash again

This isn't true. MS2 is charging only when fully and successfully booted. However, it isn't charging when on bootloop or in bootloader menu ("RSDLite mode").
But if you are sure your battery is charged, you should try to flash it again (and then don't forget to wipe data/factory reset in recovery) as w0ndersp00n already suggested.

HELP Desire HD BLOCKED damaged bootloader

hello
After use of ACE Advanced Hack Kit that I think might be useful to fix the problem wifi and bluetooth was not working
Former ROM update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-DesireHD-signed
I did a radio update and then HBOOT
My Desire HD does not boot, it gets stuck at startup, HTC logo white screen, after 2s 2nd vibration volume keys - + does not work when I connect DHD not even recognized by the pc, is there a solution please help me
I tried the UMT, the fastboot by adb, I believe that DHD must be in charge mode or bootloader mode so that it works
I always try to reconnect to the DHD with the PC (windows 7), if t is an OS that it can know the DHD in off mode or the mode "LOCKED")

I can not do, my PC does not detect the DHD

Hi,
I have the same problem. I ran the ace hack kit on an already rooted phone! It was a big mistake. Currently the phone is not detected by PC and "Recovery" and "Factory Reset" does not work.
By the way, when the bootloader is running, the pc detect the phone, but I don't know how can I do in this situation.
Any help plz.

Download a 1.32 RUU. Select "Fastboot" when you're in the bootloader. Connect the phone with ur pc and run the ruu.
I do what i want, because I can.

Droid Pro not being picked up by RSD Lite

I've read just about every thread and no luck. I updated to a CM port by vanillaLVL, and forgot to back up.
I want to use an sbf to go back to 2.3.3 so I can start fresh with a better rom because his rom doesnt have good in call volume and messes up my bluetooth.
So far every thread about fixing RSD Lite will not work for me.
RSD Lite will not recognize my Droid pro, whether I use Bootloader, CWM, or Usb Debugging mode while phone is on. I have tried looking at every fix, but nothing works. Any tips on how to fix RSD Lite, or how to fix my phone to get it back to stock? I tried using update.zips but I always get an error in the build.prop stopping the update.

When i BSF mine i used version 5.6, do you have Moto drivers installed? also just in case make sure you are using a 32 bits version of Windows

I think my windows is 32 bit, and I dled the newest Motorola drivers from the site, but still doesn't work :/ my phone can't access stock recovery either, so might that be causing the issue?

Hey dude... Okay to start off ill tell you what you need... you need to download the base drivers from motorola and have a 32 bit windows computer... What you want to do from there is uninstall your previous drivers... reboot your pc then install them... reboot your pc... now comes the tricky part... take your droid and hold down the volume keys and the button on the right side of your phone and while holding all thoes down hold the power down too .. wait about 30 secs or till the lcd slightly lites up and let go a simple menu should pop up on your phone... now plug in your phone and wait for 10 min if nothing shows up unplug it and plug it in with a different cord and if nothing pops up in 5 min open rsd lite and your phone should show up... now browse to your .sbf or your .sbf.zip and start the flashing process (just click start)..... tell me if this works please!!!

Hate to sound amateur but sometimes its just the specific computer. I bricked my xprt at my friends house and tried to sbf it with his 32 win 7 laptop and the drivers kept failing.

You know one trick to bootloader using heindall?

don't use heindall or anything.
just connect the phone to pc and press power button + vol up to enter the bootloder, and flash SBF room using RSD Lite

As above but with more worries.
So I ALSO forgot to install a recovery after doing the TWRP->System wipe. However upon trying to restore the device over USB (RSDLite, Sideload, fastboot) I note that my computer doesn't discover the device.
"Drivers" I thought straight away, however I have MotoCast 2.0.31 installed and Motorola drivers from the Motorla Device Manager 2.3.9 installed.
So I investigated, when using Cyanogenmod Bootloader 2.1 and trying to Mount SD Card I get an error instead. Then it puts me back to the main menu, when I navigate back to the storage mounting page instead of being presented with Unmount I still get the same option to mount the sd card.
It looks like to me that the USB drivers for my Defy+ are knackered. Luckily I have a Defy knocking around somewhere and it appears I can still charge the Defy+ from the wall charger so I've got a plan of action but I really want to check with you guys first.
a) Get the files required for TWRP and CMod BL onto the SD card via the other Defy.
or
b) Find a way to restore the USB drivers on my Defy+ so I can use my PC.
Please tell me what you think?
