try aother RSD Power, it is still the same
Progress till 100 persen, but the phone stucked at motorola blur logo
any solution, guys?
thanks

What were you trying to flash?

I try to upgrade to froyo.
it stuck after RSD Lite step

Well first, is your phone rooted? Secondly, what stock version did you have?
I think I can get you up and running with Froyo

you may try to install your original version/build number sbf. if its work, maybe you can try flash froyo ROM again. then when you finished restore custom ROM all you have to do is go to bootloader then flash boot/devtree only sbf.. dont pull usb connection. but if RSD want you to turn phone manually then you need to press power button even though your phone at booting state..

i got the same problem, everything was working fine before i done it a couple times but then i used miui and my phone battery died and it wouldnt work after that so i decided to flash with rsd lite and after doing everything normally its just stuck at the motorola and moto blur symbol/animation thing. really frustrating.

did you find fix?

What SBF file did you use?
Have you tried another file?

get into stock recover (Vol Up + Power) then wipe data/cache

Half Bricked
I have an Mb525 rooted (that was) running stock 2.2 Blurred. I installed the Defy boot loader and hard reset/wiped partitions and (tried to) install cm7 from SD, it installs fine, goes fine, everything is all set. Reboot the device and the splash image pops up with the white LED first, then the blue one for boot loader, and finally the green one. It stays on splash screen. I tried 2 different versions of cm7 and both do the same thing. I'm able to access the boot loader, it just doesn't finish loading whatever I flash onto it.
As my phone is dysfunctional, I would appreciate it if you could contact me through my Skype;

I won't receive emails.. =/
Specs:
Moto Defy shipped with 2.1
Rooted
Red Lense
T-Mobile, U.S.A.
Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.

to go in stock recovery u must use Vol Down + Power

Solution
I had this problem. Found a solution at 4pda.ru
1. Shut down your phone.
2. Hold Volume- button, press Power button for 2 seconds. Then release both.
3. When you see Android robot press together both Volume+ and Volume- buttons.
4. Erase both Cache and Data.
5. Reboot.
Your phone should boot normally.

[Q] Defy stuck on Motorola's logo and can't access the recovery mode

Hello guys, first, sorry for my bad english.
I'm having some problems with my defy, I was using the CM7 for months but now it start to stuck on Motorola's logo and when I tried to access the stock recovery, by pressing Power + volume down, anything happened, I only can access the bootloader by pressing Power + volume up.
So I tried to flash a old SBF that I have here, but, when the device will start again, it stuck on Motorola's logo again.
Then I downloaded a SBF that seems to be the "original of my phone version" and flashed it, but the device stills stucking at the Motorola's logo.
I think that I need to wipe data/cache, but how?!?
Any advices??
I need my phoneee!!

Sorry, I don`t understand

He is saying you should start over and flash the Nordic SBF again.
But it would be helpful to know which SBF's you've tried which didn't work. What RSD lite version you are using? I'm using RSD Lite 5.3.1 and the 5.1.0 motorola driver and never had issues.
Don't forget to "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache" in Stock Recovery (power + vol down) before flashing.
Also, what did you do before CM7 stopped working. It doesn't break for no reason.

Im using RSD lite 4.9 and I don't know the version of the drivers...
And I could not wipe data/cache because I could not access the stock recovery
when I tried to access the stock recovery, by pressing Power + volume down, anything happened, I only can access the bootloader by pressing Power + volume up.

To enter stock recovery: Power up phone and press the vol down button. When you see the android icon push volume up and down at the same time.

Sorry, missed that part.
Well ... I don't recall reading about such behaviour before - unless the battery is dead.
But then you wouldn't be able to get the bootloader either.
I would try again to get into recovery and make sure you press the power + vol up buttons for a few seconds before releasing.
And out of curiosity: what exactly did you do when CM7 stopped working. It doesn't break for no reason.

I tried to enter in the recovery mode a lot of times and nothing!
I didn't done anything diferent that could make CM7 stop, it stopped by itself!

Guys, I'm thinking in send it to a techinical support, of Motorola.
What do you think?

I got a similar situation as our friend here. Today I had shutdown my Defy (rooted + stock 2.2.1) when i tried to turn It on again It got stuck at the operator logo forever!
I did the clear data from recovery and I got my cellphone back to live. Thanks!

Im Stuck too...
I have a problem with my Defy MB525, This morning I woke up and found the cell with the Android Logo with Exclamation, it was really hot so I turn off pulling the battery.
Then I tried to power ON but still stuck on Motorola's logo, in trying to enter the recovery (Pressing vol+ and Power but nothing, same pressing vol-).
the strangest of all is that my Defy don't display the white led, so it's not charging?
As far as I was to the symbol of android with red exclamation, I tried pressing the volume buttons but none served.
I was looking in other threads but nothing helps me, can you help me please? thanks.

[Q] Bricked Defy+

Hello!
I bricked my Defy+... I downgrated from 2.3.5 to 2.3.4 and now it can't turn on.
If I understand I need update with RDS to 2.3.5 or 2.3.6... Where can I download this SBF file or what need I do with my phone?
It is very important... please quickly... thx

Have a look in the sbfs thread, and also the wiki page for defy (propably a sticky thread or one of the first)
Sent from my CM7 Defy

http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy
Have a look at the sbf list section.
Sent from my CM7 Defy

sorry, but I don't find it... can you link the good file please?

everywhere is only defy (i need defy+) and 2.3.5 less firmware...

this is a defy+ firmware original sbf in first post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1285007

I haven't got recovery
have you any idea what need I do ?
please help

that is a NANDROID backup... not SBF

there is currently no sbf available that is greater than 2.3.4
you must wait for one to leak/release

thanks...
about when will it appear ? (days/weeks/months?)

flash defy+ sbf and make FULL reset whit recovery(power + volume down when phone power off)
Sorry for my bad english.

I haven't got recovery... :/

I've been in a similar situation with my defy (red lens) and here is how I solved it:
mrolp said:
I passed a couple of hours in this terrible situation and found this topic (caused by a failed downgrade from gingerbread to froyo).
Now I flashed back full gingerbread sbf, power button is working again and battery can charge.
EDIT:
Here is how to solve possible boot loop after bringing it back to life:
- Power DEFY™ off.
- Wait 15 seconds.
- Press and hold POWER/LOCK key and VOLUME DOWN key.
- Continue to press and hold POWER/LOCK and VOLUME DOWN until a screen appears with a "!" inside a triangle and a small Android standing in front of it on a black background.
- Once the "!"-Triangle screen appears, press both VOLUME DOWN and UP keys at the same time. This can be achieved by pressing the center of the VOLUME rocker.
- Once the recovery menu appears (text is blue) use the VOLUME DOWN key to navigate to "wipe data/factory reset".
- Select "wipe data/factory reset" with POWER/LOCK key.
- Navigate with VOLUME DOWN key to "Yes -- delete all user data"
- During this process you will notice the phone format the system memory and cache. This is normal.
- After the factory reset has completed, select "reboot system now" with the POWER/LOCK key.
- Please allow 3-10 minutes for system to recover. A long pause on the stylised "M" logo or the carrier animation is normal. DO NOT power the phone off during this period.
- (MOTOBLUR™ devices only) Once the DEFY™ has booted, you will be greeted with the MOTOBLUR™ login page.

EDIT: For Defy+ things may be harder

No telling when or IF a sbf greater than 2.3.4 will surface!
Did you try flashing ALL 2.3.4 sbf's?
Just to be straight, you DO NOT have STOCK recovery correct? You only get black screen while trying to boot stock recovery (vol down + power)
If this is all true than it appears that newly shipped defy+ with 2.3.5 and 2.3.6 must contain CG ver=6 making it impossible to downgrade by flashing ANY sbf currently available since 2.3.4 sbf's contain CG ver=5
What a crappy situation!

Motorola Defy + bricked
Hi!
after flashing my Defy+, RSD Lite told me that it passed but the phone is completely dead. It doesn't start, it doesn't charge is just the black screen.
It doesn't go in boot mode and the power button it doesn't do anything. The battery has 4.12V on it so is not drained.
any ideas?

[Q] Help please. Milestone 2 bootloops even after flashing stock sbf

Hi, can someone please help with this?
I flashed tezets cyanogenmod which booted fine then the mod for tezet rom by endless 7 which made the phone get stuck in a bootloop, so then I flashed the uk sbf but still ends up in a bootloop and when x+power button is pressed and the logo with exclamation mark comes up, pressing the @ key wont do anything such as go to recovery to wipe cache or data.
So I cant really think of anything else to do :/

In exclamation, try to press both vol + and - instead @

In Froyo it is the @
In GB it is the Vol + and - at the same time.
Btw way, i saw somewhere that u will need the 70.13 bootloader for GB and everywhere is written, that u need to flash GB after u was once at GB but i don't know exactly if this is also with modded rom that way. So would try to flash 2.3.4 UK SBF and than wipe out trough recovery by pressing voll + and - than go to wipe out and confirm with power button as "ok".
tell us if it worked.

The rom was 2.3.4 UK and now works because of factory reset and wipe data, got into recovery fine with the volume keys, thanks heaps guys

You can have a look here under "Common Problems/Questions". Probably your 2ndboot got somehow b0rkened.
Maybe a cache/dalvik-cache wipe in stock recovery can help you (start and hold with power + vol down).
But boot logo loop often results in flashing a stock rom (aka SBF) via RSD Lite or sbf_flash. You need to boot your defy into bootloader mode (start and hold with power + vol up) and flash an apporpriate SBF.
