can you flash from a powered down phone? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i ws playing with my phone and i guess used the wrong sbf. tried restarting my phone and nothing. bricked.... so after crying in the corner like a little girl for a couple minutes. i plugged my phone back in and RSD lite showed a connection even though my phone was off. so i selected the correct sbf and hit flash. now my phone is flashing over again from the stock bootloader.... ive never read about that on the forums. that supposed to be possible? lol

happened to me as well, for a moment my heart stopped ..... When i connected and see in the RSD Lite detected my phone, my heart start working again :laugh:
is like a bootloader mode (power + vol up)

[Q] Updated MIUI, now Defy is dead

Hi everyone!
Today the new weekly release of MIUI was released. I downloaded it to my phone, and chose to install it. The phone rebooted and was stuck on the M-logo. I could only get into the stock Android recovery.
After some googling I found a site that told me to flash the phone with RDS Lite.
After having flashed my phone with RSD Lite the phone is simply dead.
The LED light turns white when I connect it to a computer, but nothing happens when I push the power-button.
I excperienced this also when I tried to root my phone, back then the issue was low battery. This time the battery was at 100 % when i updated MIUI, so i doubt this is the problem. The phone has been connected to AC charger for 30 minutes now, and there's still no reaction.
Anybody got a solution for this?
Holding volume-up and push power button. If you can get into bootloader, connect the phone to computer and get RSD lite working.

you should make a flactory reset in stock recovery
it will boot whit MIUI
I didn't try the factory reset, but I think I got the wrong ROM. When I downloaded the Nordic Edition of Motorola SBF, and flashed it, the phone booted normally.
Defy can not boot - M logo flashes
It seems that our problems are similar and your Defy works again - what did you do to bring it back again?

[Q] [HELP] Defy is bricked, PC doesn't recognize it

Hi everybody
I have Motorola Defy, but after I plug in the usb cable to defy and PC , rsd lite 4.9, 53.1. or 5.5 doesnt recognize my device..
After plug in it shows only white led and nothing more, nothing at all...
I tried every method , but unsuccessfull...
Everytime i try tu plug in, it just shows white led, nothing more, screen is black, and PC doesnt recognize it at all...
What should I do to unbrick it ???
Pls help, I'm desperate ... Thank you
PS: I tryed every method, I searched almost everywhere
When you plug it in first make sure battery full charge then load rsd lite and under settings change it to first come first serve. I had same issue and this worked.

Have you tried entering bootloader and then connect the phone to PC? I got RSD lite recognizing my phone this way.

Have you tried my suggestion.. I had same issue.. black screen with white lite.. you need to have full battery then plug the phone in and run rsd lite with settings on first come first serve..
if
your phone does load with a full charge then hold volume up and power button to get into the bootloader menu.. after than then plug into rsd lite..
to make things easy let us know what happens after you put a batter with full charge on it.. then we can go from there..
yes , I have full battery, I set the rds lite to option firt-come-first-serve, but nothing happend
I can't get into bootloader, I can't power the phone up, I can't get into mode... Nothing
Still the same probem, still not solved, Any idea what could be with it ??
Check the drivers

try these steps..
take phone battery out and wait few seconds..
then put batter back in and hold volume up and power button for few seconds.. let go of power button and then let go of volume up button..
your phone screen will still be black and no light will be lit up..
then connect usb cable to phone then to pc.. after that you load up RSD lite with the setting of first come first serve.. you should see a line in middle of window that says.. "connected" at this point your phone might display white light ..it sometimes doesn't but as long as rsd lite shows connected your fine.. at this point you should be able to run sbf files
The defy doesn't even power up when I push the power button

before we do all this did you make sure your battery is fully charged?

I tried McGyver hack, phone was connected, I did flash 2.51.1 UK version non carries, but nothing did,
On screen was:
SW update
In progrees
at RSD was Phone is being rebooted and PASS, but nothing on phone screen
Defy is working againg, but I was at the service
so using the MacGyver hack method enabled your computer to see your phone again?
I have the same problem (flashed wrong rom, phone bricked with just a black screen, flashed the same wrong rom again hoping for a different result, still bricked, read up on what was going wrong, came back the next day and my computer (including RSD Lite) could no longer see my Moto Defy. Next step i'm either going to have to (1)borrow another Moto Defy battery that is guaranteed fully charged (i have no way to check the amount of charge in mine while my Defy is out of action) or (2)cut up a USB cable and do the MacGyver hack.
1. Make sure your battery is charged.
2. Make sure you've all the latest drivers from Motorola's Website installed.
3. Make sure your RSD Lite version is atleast 4.9. I use v5 and had no problems till now.
4. Boot into bootloader mode.
5. Flash
If it doesn't work:
Try MacGyver hack.
In case you don't know what it is, search here in xda forums. You'll find it.
Update your drivers and do the same as above

Option 3 is to buy a cheap standalone wall charger for the Defy battery off eBay, like this one, to keep your battery charged between attempts to flash the phone. Gotta be less risky than the McGyver hack.
Not sure if the standalone wall charger will work, seems to me that the phone doesn't actually recognise the battery, however I have no means to test this and it's just a guess.
If it does actually detect your battery level but just can't charge it then what you listed is fine.
hope for defy with only white led light turning on. This assumes that you have already have mototola drivers and RSD lite installed.
Background : I only had defy one day when I decided to flash it with miui. I bricked on the first time with bootloops. Did research and got drivers and rsd lite. managed to find three stock t mobile roms and flashed to stock Tom, then flashed miui, since then I've been switching between miui and cm7.
Problem : After a few months of use, I decided to flash stock rom to see how the battery life would be like. Bricked it the first time with bootloops. I thought I had flashed it with wrong rom because the first time I flashed back to original rom I did not delete the roms that I thought were the original roms. So after first failure I tried to flashed with the other roms I had. after the third rom it would not go into bootloader, only white led would turn on. Tried macguiver, did not work so save your usb cable, don't mess with it ain't gonna work.
Two part solution: I realized that when I plugged phone with usb I would hear the usb tone on win 7. When to device manager and saw the other device or something like that was appearing and disappearing when I would connect and disconnect phone. I clicked it and it said Motorola device or something like that, it was sensing my defy! defy drivers were wipe out due to bad flash. I had mototola drivers so I clicked on update and searched for mototola drivers on hard drive. I had rsd lite on and it recognized the defy after driver update, even though the bootloader screen was not on and just the white led was on.
decided to flash rom that have me bootloop and it flashed it but still gave me a bootloop., by the way, the update part of bootloader showed up after a while.
Second part of solution: Please Google defy stock rom!!! googled problem and found out that the phone has a stock recovery. its the robot with the triangle exclamation mark. when you get to it you have to touch the extreme lower right hand corner of the screen to get to where you can wipe data and cache. when you start wiping data / cache you have to press on ok?? on lower left hand of the screen repeatedly until wipe is complete. then reboot and tada it boots up to stock tmo USA defy.
this is the stock rom I used : JORDN_U3_6.36.0
F Y I
if you ever try to flash a rom and it just bootloops, just go into stock recovery and wipe data and cache and you should be able to boot into android.

Black screen after downgrade?

Hi I just downgraded my defy so that I could install the custom recovery but after flashing the sbf the phone won't even turn on. Is there any way this can be fixed?
The sbf I used is JDGC_U6_0.26.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA02F.0R_JORDANGCCORE_P011_A023_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
P.S.: The phone won't even charge. The only time when the led turns on is when it is connected to the computer.
There is no such thing as downgrade with Defy! Once a higher bootloader version sbf has been flashed you can never go back and flash one with a lower version (read the huge All-In-One guide in General section and pay attention to e-fuse).
Now you are stack with sbf's with boot loader version equal to or higher than the one of your previous sbf. I don't recommend flashing one with a higher BL version. Just go back to your previous SBF.
yep this happened to me the other day. As Auris said you cannot go backwards.
I had the same thing wouldnt display anything I figured out I had flashed to 231. Not sure what you had but flashing to the same BL version is the only way to get it to work.
Took a little of playing around with my phone till RSD light said it was connected but when it found it, It seemed to connect every time after even though there was nothing displayed on the screen.

What exactly did you do? My phone doesn't even boot into bootloader.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Charge your battery out of the defy, i think your battery have too low voltage to enter the bootloader.
If your battery is still re-charged, try first a factoryreset.
If that does not work for you, try to flash a normally froyo-SBF.
AFAIK, you haved flashed a chinese SBF, maybe you can´t enter the Recoveryscreen, but BL should work. So make a blind flash with the recommended "normally froyo-SBF".

Had to sacrifice a USB cable but it worked. Thanks
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
so you got it working???
Mine wouldnt show any screen but If the USB was plugged in and I powered the phone on it would have the little white light in the top.
I plugged phone into USB. powered it on holding the volume up so you get into bootloader (this will not come up on screen, but RSD lite should see your phone).
From there you should be able to flash a new rom. I tried prob 5-6 roms before I found one that worked.

Bricked my Defy and couldn't go to recovery mode

One day my defy (which used MIUI Pikachu) didn't boot up properly. It showed me a MIUI splash screen. What I did was to go to bootloader mode and installed the CEE Nordic fixed SBF I found on the net. After flashing, the phone only gave me a motorola logo. I patiently waited for 15 minutes or so but nothing happened.
I took a research on the net and found out that I had to put my phone into stock recovery mode. But when I turned off my phone (Had to do it by a battery pull), pushed the volume down button and pushed the power button afterwards, the screen was still black.
So, what mistakes did I made, are there any ways to fix my phone without bringing it to service center. I think the problem lies in the sbf files, it's only 37mb while a "normal" sbf from droid-developers is about 200mb.
By the way, if my phone is a korean one, can I use a nordic version ?
yes you can fix it. take the battery out then put it back in after a while to make sure its off.
hold down volume up and push the power on. This will get you into bootloader, It may not show anything on the screen but if you hook up the USB cable and open RSD lite it should say its connected.
Now from here you just have to find the right SBF file to flash. This may take 1 go or 10 goes (took me about 10) till I found one that works and it booted straight away.
I must warn you, Your phone WONT! charge in this state so take the battery out when your downloading the files or not flashing it or using it as it will run the battery out fast.
If the battery runs out then you will have to search and do the macqyver method

after flashing stock rom you have to get into stock recovery & do factory reset ^^ ph should boot up after that...
if your battery is flat/dead you need to become McGyver -=or=- get extra charged battery & repeat process
After flashing CEE nordic, T-Mobile US and UK roms, I couldn't even go to bootloader mode nor recovery mode. so this is impossible to clear date.
bootloader will not show but RSD lite will say its connected, Unless the battery is flat as it wont charge in this state.
If you hook up the macqyver method and turn the phone on holding the up button and connect the USB cable. RSD lite should say that its connected if you have done it right. It took me 3 goes to get it working but once I did it worked.
It took me 10 roms before I found one that worked. So dont give up

same here. macgyver worked on about the 3rd attempt (not sure why, the wires looked connected each time), and my 3rd SBF worked... then i couldn't root, flashed another sbf, and the 5th method worked...z4root, superoneclick, doroot, droid2root, and DOOMLORD worked
but now my sdcard wont load, so i got more problems... sigh... if you have warranty just get a new phone!!!

[Q] Defy bricked. Wont turn on, only white led on pc

I had cm11 (or 10, not sure) installed for about a month now (back in december) .... Went on a trip, and when coming back my phone battery ran out at the airport somehow, but i had fully charged it and i was not out all day enough for it to run out fully... I take my phone home, not really giving it much importance, and i noticed it was stuck on the bootlogo.. so i went into recovery and tried to re-flash the rom and fix it, but when i was installing the ROM again, the phone shut off randomly (i heard that happened with a certain recovery menu software sometimes, i cant remember the name)... then the phone wouldn't charge and/or turn on, and when I connect it to the pc, nothing happens other than the white led coming on.. RSD won't recognize it...
So i found out i had to charge the battery manually, and used a Universal Charger... Still, no recognition by RSD Lite...
Finally, i found a way:
1. Open RSDLite
2. Connect phone (no battery on it)
3. While holding Power + Vol Up, put the battery in
4. RSD will recognize your phone!
Problem is, it recognizes my MB525 as "S Flash OMAP0360"
And when i try to flash a .sbf i used previously to recover my phone (had bricked it before by trying to change ROMs in a sloppy manner), it seems to flash smoothly, but when it's going to reboot the phone, the progress goes up to 100% and then asks me to reboot it manually.. I read somewhere that to fix that i should take the battery out, disconnect the phone, put it back in, and make RSD recognize it like i mentioned before...... and after RSDLite says flashing is PASSED, the phone still won't turn on... I have tried at least three times and gotten the same result... Help?
The SBF i am using (because it helped me save my phone before) is:
JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25TIGCOLA01E.0R_JORLAFROTIGCOL A_P009_A002_M010_HWp3_WIG146037_Service1FF.sbf
EDIT: Also, i read somewhere that when all you get is the white led (when connecting to PC) it means that your battery is not charged enough for flashing.. ?
I don't know what to do?? I read that defy's are really hard to brick... But mine got bricked out of nowhere.. wtf?

Hey there. Well, if it's still flashable it ain't bricked. I've got my other one to not be recognized (broken bootloader), which is beyond usual repair. So, did you you flash some random SBF before the rescue one you're trying out now? There's a problem with previously flashed GingerBread or Defy+ SBF images. So it would be good to know, what was the SBF running before trying "JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9". Also according to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 that is 2.2.1 and there's also a "Android 2.2.2 Blur_Version.34.4.802.MB525.Latam.en.01". Tried that as well?
Anyhow, if the phone is seen by RSDlite it actually powers on and is recoverable. If the screen is just staying black, then you probably tried a downgrade from a Gingerbread SBF and didn't watch out for the BL-version.
If it's a BL-version problem then this might help. Also there is a guide to unbrick. And yes, keep an eye out for the battery level. Best would be an external charger, as the phone does not charge. McGyver way should still work though.
If it shows a LED and is seen over USb, it's not dead (yet)
Also look out for section "Common Problems/Questions" here.

No, i have not flashed other SBF's ever... only CM roms but i did it through the phone itself, in recovery mode.. I'll try the 2.2.2 one you told me about and see how that works out!
EDIT: No luck, the phone stays at a black screen.. it wont even reboot when RSD is done flashing.. i have to take the battery out and put it in bootloader again for RSD to say it PASSED the flashing

Too bad Anyway, did you try 8. from here, that is
"
If you get " Please manually power up this phone " in RSD Lite pull battery out > put your battery back > reboot into stock recovery by holding Power button and Vol- button > Choose Wipe data/cache > Choose Reboot system now
"? Also holding Power and Vol-Down while inserting battery is said to work.
I wonder if there is an SBF that also flashes cache and userdata partitions...
Nope, it just stays black-screened.... It only works if i do VOL-UP for bootloader mode, but that doesnt help
Umm, as a shot into the blue: Did you try to reinstall the Defy drivers from Motorola? It seems that missing those hinder RSD lite from detecting the Phone as MB52x and instead just show the Processor identification, i.e. "S Flash OMAP3630"
Try dfp 231. The processor identification is correct( rsdlite has been set up properly).

wtf, the phone flashed correctly and everything but the screen won't turn on.... The computer recognizes it as MB526 now, and i can touch the home button and stuff and it will vibrate like it used to when it worked... i can also make the ringtones play using the moto portal page... Everything works (except for calls) other than the fact that i still have a black screen... the screen just wont turn on... Also it said it had very little internal memory compared to what it had before (had at least 2 gb i think.. now not even one)
I had sent the phone over to fix, and they told me it was unfixable... Is it possible that the guy (it wasnt an official company) who "tried to fix it" simply took parts out of it ? -_- (if he had taken parts out of it im guessing the phone wouldnt turn on at all..?)
What can i do to turn the screen on??
EDIT: i flashed DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf

Umm, according to this thread it is supposed to be this one.
The GR vs CN maybe doesn't make a difference, but maybe the P022_A022 vs. P015_A030?
Doesn't a working phone portal allow for somehow to get logs/adb etc?
