[Q] defy stuck at motorola boot screen after flash

i flash my phone with a custom rom from this forum
succesfull until RSD Lite step
after RSD Lite, my phone stuck at Motorola logo with blur
tried pull off and pulling on the batery with power and volume up, it got back to bootloader screen
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;

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.

recovery help!

Hi,
I recently flashed the cm72-120124.0859-NIGHTLY-Defy.zip, and now that i am trying to flash to cm72-120126.2206-NIGHTLY-Defy, but now when i try to boot to recovery, i get teh warning screen with the android and the exclamation point.
My phony works fine, but now I can't get into the custom recovery.
please help!
thnak you,

How did you entered to recovery??
Vol- on blue led i think, the custom is still there! Otherwise the phone doesnt boot
Motorola Defy CM7 RC 1.5 OC 1GHz

i usually just rebooted to recovery from the cm7 menu.
it's worked this way since i had cm7.1 stable, and other nightlies.
thanks, any advice is greatly appreciated.

Try boot into BootMenu and then go to custom/latest recovery? Did that work for you when you tried?

If the custom bootmenu is working properly, a blue LED on the phone should briefly light up each time the phone reboots (while the Motorola logo is being displayed). As soon as the blue LED lights up, press the volume down button. The custom BootMenu should display.
If that doesn't work, you could also try this. In CyanogenMod settings, go to Interface and make sure the "Power prompt" option is checked. Then, when you press and hold the power button and select "Reboot," you should see the option to reboot into "Bootmenu."

Thank you everyone,
i was able to get to the recovery menu by using the volume - at the blue light. still not sure why the reboot to recovery didn't work. it works now though.

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.
