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

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

Same as above worked 4 me I needed to put on the latest gb rom the non downgrade one.

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.

Hi umario
I've only done this a couple of times, so im no expert. One of my friends managed to mess up his phone, and when we flashed it the same thing happend to us (black screen). The phone did however connect to rsd, but the screen on the phone seems dead. Turn the phone on av push the volume button at the same time until rsd connect to the phone and flash one a rom from here:

Some of these gave me the same situation (black screen), but i think the nordic (2.2.2 Service Flashes) worked fine. After flash connect to the net and let it update market ++ before you root it.
Good luck
Thank you, but not working. Nordic 2.2.2 service flash not extract. error on the rar.
I trying the DE, AT, CH 2.2.2, but not work. Your friend phone is Defy or Defy+?

Hi, I have the same problem, I have defy, not defy+ already and tried to write it every soft and nothing helps. some tips
i have same as this problem
mine is mb525 with green lens
can you help me?
Just for the record...
I have recently revived my defy+ last night. Just in case google will lead someone else to this thread with the 'white light' problem I sum up some of my observations:
This happened with me when I tried to downgrade my OTA updated Defy+ (4.3.6, CG version 7) to a stock sbf (4.3.5, CG version 5 or 6... Kids, don't try this at home). No (visible) bootloader/recovery, just a white led turning on when it's on USB (not recharging, though...) It seemed like it was totally bricked. I didn't want to do the infamous macgyver hack, so I waited for a day and then have my battery charged by a Defy-owner friend of mine.
Here's the checklist (for windows):
- make sure battery is on 100%. After flashing, mine depleted to 50%... you basically have 1 shot. If not on USB, i'd suggest you to take the battery out to be sure bootloader is not draining your battery. Seriously, you have like 20 minutes before a 100% charged new battery depletes .
- install Motorola drivers
- download an appropriate SBF (if you had an OTA update on defy+ it will be most likely a dfp-231 version). Place it as close to the filesystem root as it gets and rename it to something shorter. RSDLite still has some issues with long paths...
- Run RSDLite as root AND IN WinXp SP3 COMPATIBILITY MODE!
- Volume up, power button, release power button, wait for a second and you're hopefully in bootloader mode. Try this over and over again, while RSDLite can see your phone. Try to re-run RSDLite or restart windows if nothing helps. It's always freakin' windows
- If everything's OK and the phone is recognized, flash an sbf as soon as you can. If everything goes well, you will be able to get it to 100% In the meantime you can see something on the screen like 'flashing in progress'. It was the first thing my phone said in the last 2 days.
- Be patinet, it takes about 10 minutes. It will say 'PASS' when it's done. You are on stock rom. From now you can charge your phone to 100%, root, 2dinit, and flash something that actually works
Hello there,
I apologize if the thread seem redundant, but I've already tried I found the forum about similar issues to no avail.
So I bought a bricked Defy on eBay for a couple of bucks and I'm trying to revive it. The seller said he bricked it after a flash that apparently when wrong.
The phone does not power on at all and doesn't even react when the power button is pressed. The white LED turn when I plug the phone to a computer. It does not turn on when plugged to a wall charger.
By using the "MacGyver" method, I have managed to make the phone show up in RSDLite. I have tried to flash multiple SBF images with different CG versions. Each time, the phone wakes up and shows "SW UPDATE IN PROGRESS" in blocky font but dies again once the flashing process end. RSDLite simply shows PASSED. Also every informations listed by RSDLite in the "Devices Properties" is shown as N/A except for the bootloader version and the last 4 lines.
Another issue is that I'm not even sure whether it's a DEFY or a DEFY+. The seller listed it as a DEFY+, however the battery that came with it is a 1540mAh and the lens seem to be green. I've tried to flash a DEFY+ before noticing this, so hopefully it didn't screw up the phone even more.
So, any idea? I would appreciate any help provided. Thanks!
The most important thing is to use the latest version of RSD and drivers.
I have a Defy plus and the same thing happened to me before (black screen even no bootlooder) so I connected my phone to the computer (I can't really remember if I powered with a vol up or not) but I got it recognized by the RSD. try connecting and powering on the the vol up if nothing just connect and see what will happen.
In my satiation, the phone got recognized in the RSD and remained black screen till I pressed start then it finally showed SU UPDATE.
The defy plus has a grey colored power buttons and screws but the defy is totally black
The most important thing is to use the latest version of RSD and drivers
And please tell me if it worked.
Thanks for the reply. Now I know I have a DEFY!
Unfortunately, getting the phone recognised isn't the problem. I can flash SBF and everytime the process seem to go without any error (RSDLite just show passed once it's done). But the phone is still completely bricked. I also tried the "TI Flash erase" option, to no avail.
I'll just try again a bit, then I guess I'll list it back on eBay.

Did you read Zephyrot's All-in-one thread? I guess you haven't...
Zephyrot said:
CG Versions
With that explained let’s get to business with versions:
CG Version 2: SBF 2.21 / 2.34 / Chinese (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) (Defy)
CG Version 5: SBF 4.5.0 / 4.5.1 (Gingerbread) (Defy)
CG Version 6: SBF 4.5.1 (Gingerbread, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
CG Version 7: SBF 4.5.1 (Latests Gingerbreads, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
If you try to flash a lower ID version than the one already on your phone, you will just get a Black screen after booting or a screen telling you to flash an official rom.
So, with this in mind, you can now hop between Android versions without screwing up your phone.
If you have an Éclair Defy and would like to keep the ability to downgrade to it, you should ONLY install FIXED SBFs of the Android Version you want to install, and then use the corresponding Nandroid Backup for that Fixed SBF.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If you have flashed an SBF with a higher CG39 version than your original, there is a good chance you now own not a Defy, but a Defy+, which is not a huge issue, unless you need to get back your stock ROM for warranty purposes or if your phone has a green lense...
Well thanks for the reply, but my problem isn't that the phone fails to boot, but does simply not turn on at all. It's literally dead as a brick. I've already tried to flash pretty much every sbf under the sun (Including DEFY+ once) and the phone never turned on once (Not even the Moto logo or a bootloader error screen).
The only last thing I see might be a defective battery.
Yeah could be a battery. Get a cheap one ebay job and try a sbf then if it loads then great u can allways put cm7 or cm9 on it
defy cm7
Change your battery or charge with external charger (universal charger)
Or this may work

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:

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

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).

Yeah, it worked also for the defy in this thread.

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
I couldnt find the one you posted there so i did the central europe one...

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?
(Motorola defy MB525) Well, deciding to upgrade from quarx's android 4.2 to 4.4 I went and gave the whole flashing method a try again but I made a mistake on a couple areas and I was stuck in bootloader or the motorola logo appearing on and off over and over. That was because my battery was near death or pretty much dead, so I used the mcgyver method to flash it while it was being charged which 'worked'. It did the usual 'SW update in progress' and the sbf flashed, but after the phone just went to a blank screen (as if it were off) and no longer turns on or goes anywhere. Holding the power button and/or pressing the volume buttons does nothing. I cannot access bootloader or recovery or even get the phone to display. If I connect my defy to my computer, the white led charge light comes on briefly then goes away when the cable is fully connected. Thats the only thing that makes me think my phone isn't totally broke but, I cannot flash anything with RSD Lite again, it does not detect my phone as pressing the 'start' button does nothing.
I even went and bought one of the universal battle chargers thinking my battery just needed to be charged, but even after a full charge the phone has been no different. I'm at a loss, Is my cable the issue? Is my defy just busted? I really need some advice...
Anyone have any ideas? I uploaded a video to youtube showing the problem I have a bit better.

The same thing happens whether I have the battery inserted or no. Its very confusing.
Try to charge the battery with another defy or with an adapter, I think that has no charge
I already charged it with a universal charger (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XY5F6A/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) But was no different. Wouldn't this have worked? It gave me the green LED (full charge) after I left it connected for a while
If mcgyver cable is made properly, and you can't enter bl, you may have bricked your device

I thought even if a defy is bricked you can at least get into bootloader. Can I unbrick it then?
You should be able to get into bl even then, but since you cannot, for some odd reason, there is no alternate method left
The brief white led glow seems to indicate a damaged bl, as when the internal eMMC is wiped completely

Motorola defy is not booting
Hi can any one help me on this.
I rooted my defy and upgraded to jelly bean. It was working fine for a year and after that I found issue. So I tried to upgrade to kitkat cwm11, however it didnt work. So, did a factory reset and when i tried upgrading again, it threw an error saying, unable to mount sd card and unable to clear cache and data. After this I couldnt clear any settings or upgrade anything. Tried with different SD card and it didnt work as well. Finally, phone is not booting and when I tried to go to recovery option it doesnt work, even default motorola recovery doesnt work. My phone is not detecting in computer as well. Phone stays dead on moto logo. Please tell me how to upgrade the phone.

Open a new thread
(Sorry double post) Wow, progress!!!
I tried the mcgyver method one last time and upon connecting the second usb cable I heard the windows chime that tells a new device has connected, but still nothing on screen. On a whim I launched RSD lite and tried flashing an SBF which did work! Halfway through the flashing process the screen came on giving me the 'SW Update in progress', though after the flash I'm back at bootloader, Did the flash work? I tried flashing another sbf but same deal, just back at bootloader. Is there a certain sbf I should use?? Please help if you can I'm getting there!
