Everything's normal when I try to charge with the system on.. But when I plug in the usb cable from the electricity slot, it shows up the battery which shows the percentage and a non-spinning refreshing circle in it. It doesn't spin at all. Waited 5+ minutes for the percentage to arrive. After I hard powerdown the device (holding down the power button for 6-7 seconds) I can still open it and use it without any problems. Recent error, restoring from my CWM backup right now.
Anyone had this before?
I still have it after the perfect restore. Really weird.
Edit: Wiped to factory. Still no luck.
Restoring back to my original settings now. Gonna try after then gonna go to sleep. Tomorrow going to try with the modaco rom.
For further use;
I installed my ROM from scratch with odin. Original recovery was installed, no cwm. The green battery showed with the original recovery. Rooted phone, installed a few apps and the green battery was still there. Installed CWM with eurotab bootstrapper. Green battery isnt there anymore.
Cost of CWM.
Sorry if the answer is out there but I can't find it.
Here is the status of my Defy:
Tried flashing SBF with RSDlite after my recovery stopped working- install of twrp had problems- tried install new recovery- tried factory reset... and I got stuck in a bootloop.
Now RSD says "PASS", but phone wont boot. Tried taking battery out with power & volume buttons pushed, but it wont even enter that black screen bootloader.
I've tried flashing SBF again, no luck.
What can I do?
Keep trying to flash different SBF via RSD despite not getting into bootloader?
EDIT: Now not even charging light coming on even when hooked up macgyver
are you using the right kernel versions??? I flashed with a 231 version without knowing you cannot downgrade once you go higher so If I try to flash anything lower I get a error at boot or it just wont boot at all like you say. If you can try to flash the version you had on there before your problems then that would be the way to go. Or if you have tried to flash a higher version threw RSD lite then you will have to try that.
RSD lite should boot the phone for you if everything went well. I got a defy + so cant comment what SBF to flash.

if you are getting no boot what so ever try flashing a fixed sbf and starting all over again? 1.Download this SBF and Flash it
2.Root your Phone
3.Download 2nd Init 1.4.2 and Install ClockworkMod Recovery
4.Download and install this Nandroid Backup << FILE DOWN, please if you happen to have this file PM me>>
5.Enter Recovery, Wipe Data/Cache
6.After wiping, turn off your phone
7.Turn it on and get immediately into Bootloader mode
8.Flash this Fixed SBF
9.Delete Data/Cache again and reboot.

or you can always try this way http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1618718 ??
thanks but i've been to those threads before I posted this.
RSDlite DOES NOT recognise my phone anymore after the two failed sbf flashes, and I now cannot access bootloader.
the only sign i have that anything is working is the white charging led (and thats only on usb not on charger).
is it completely screwed???
no its never screwed. You may of ran your battery flat. Search for the method to use a old USB cable and cut the end off that plugs into a device and use the red and black wires and put the red on positive and the black on the negative of your battery terminals then slide the battery in to hold the wires in place.
When you boot the phone hold down the volume up button so it goes into bootloader. Its a matter of finding the right SBF file, You may need to flash a higher version then you where using its not ideal but if it saves you from buying another phone it will be worth it.
The highest is 231 but you have to flash 2 more SBF ontop to get it to root as you cannot root it apart from using the pre rooted SBF files.
here is a list of SBF files you surly could get one to work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
It may take you a few goes but something will work, try to flash a lower version then work your way up.
tried macgyver it, got it to show up in rsd so tried flash despite not getting into bootloader. RSD says PASS, but still can't boot.
charging light isn't showing either now, but the computer recognises the usb (when battery is hooked up macgyver style) at least. so there is hope.
do I need a new battery?
no you wont need a new battery. Dont leave the cable hard wired to the battery for extended periods as its not the ideal way to charge it and it can over charge the battery.
Your phone wont charge in the state its in with the USB cable attached that is why you need to use the macqyver way.
There will be a rom that will flash. If its being a real pain then flash one with the heighest CG version, you wont be able to flash any lower then that as you cannot downgrade once you go higher.
I have a defy + so cant comment on what SBF files to try but I am sure there is one out there that will work. Also there is a red and green lens defy so you might need the right rom for the right phone.
have you read and tried the all in one defy guide?? there is a few links to SBF files in there and there is a problems bit down the bottom with a SBF and instructions to fix problems

i did. thats when i realised things were getting bad, because it had an error...
after a failed sbf flash (i think battery died), now i can't get into stock recovery or bootloader (even when hooked up macgyver).
i'm investing $12 in a new battery, then Ill try RSD different SBFs untill one works.
Q- Does it matter if I'm not in bootloader when using RSD? rsd says 'pass' but nothing seems to change on my phone.
Q- Is it worth trying to push a new bootloader onto my phone, or is that included in SBFs?
Q- Can I hook Macgyver up a wall charger or just the computer?
Not even charging LED showing now so hoping it's just a fried battery from a wrong macgyver, and I'll flash an SBF with a new battery and it'll all be sweet
you need to be in bootloader or RSD wont see your phone
Not sure about a bootloader, the one you have should be fine. You will prob have to get the phone working to flash a new bootloader anyway. Not sure if they are in the SBF or not
You can hook up the macqyver up to the phone charger to. You shouldnt need a battery with the macqyver, You should be able to spin the battery around and use the plastic to wedge the wires into the terminals and it should still work.
I wouldnt recommend prolong use of this method as you could fry the battery or phone if done wrong or left in for extended periods. I would keep a close eye on the temp of the phone and battery.
I dont think the phone charges in bootloader at all (well at least mine didnt) I started with a battery 95% and then flashed a few SBF files and left it on thinking it was charging came back and it wouldnt show in RSD. I done the macqyver method and when I got it to work it had 6% battery so it went dead flat even though it was plugged in and white light was on.
Your battery may be fine it may just be dead flat. You will also have the same trouble with the new battery, Unless you get or have a external charger for the battery so you can charge it outside of the phone. It should also tell you if the battery is faulty.
fixed!!!!
macgyver hook up, flashed tmobile usa latest sbf, despite not having bootloader showing... and it worked!
was the 4th sbf i had tried.
so to that other bloke with the same problem, good luck, keep trying!!!
thats good to know told you it was a matter of trying to find the right SBF.
I went threw the same problem and flashed maybe 10 SBF before one worked but now it seems I can use any as long as the CG version is the same. I flashed ICS and loving it so far.
now when I can get the battery to charge i'll be happy!
otherwise i'll just carry a laptop & spliced usb cable around in my pocket so i can use my phone
glad to know RSD works even with a black screen showing no bootloader!
so the battery wont charge??? try to charge it with the macqyver method for 30 mins. But it should charge if the phone is off connecting the charger up to it, Unless you get the battery with ? in the centre. You may of stuffed your battery but try to charge it first.
I have a 12v charger that hooks up to a car battery and I can use that as a last resort only battery it wont do without a attachment is a lipo. I think it can do lion fine.
Edit: Sorry I should say if you get the battery with the ? in the centre its more to do with the software then the hardware. I have ICS 4.0.4 and could only charge to 83% I copied over many battd.bin files one worked (but got to 93%) the rest came up with the battery with ? in the centre so it wouldnt charge and when I booted it said battery was full but it was only 60%. I found a fix for it (this is for defy) it was a CM7 fix and I am using CM9 but it now charges to 100% and works fine.
You should be able to flash another version with the same CG version. if you are not sure post the link up in another thread asking for the version and people will tell you. As if your on froyo then I have no clue of there versions and what can and cant be done.

Hi, there!
I'm not an expert, but maybe I can give you a direction as a starting point.
Either your battery is empty and only needs to be reloaded or it is to old, so you have to get a new one.
A third posibility is, that the battery is empty and had not always contact to get loaded, but that I can't say from here and it's up to you, to check over.
And also your cable and your plug could be damaged.
Your options:
1. Reload your battery (and test its health) in another device or an external loader. You could put it in another Defy of a friend. Or bring it to a service center for cell phones for reloading.
2. You could otherwise buy an new (loaded) battery. Service center again?
3. Finally you could try the following method with the risk of a final damage to your battery:

Tell us, how it has been going for you.

As long as the white LED is there, you are fine. Just charge that thing for some hours.
If you have a nandroid backup you can restore that without the battery but with the wall charger connected.

I don't have any advice really, but just wanted to note that I've experienced something similar. I'm on the Nov 2 CMX build from Quarx.
Every couple of days, my phone won't charge when connected to wall charger or USB, signal bars never change, wifi is dead, and clock is dead. My phone basically stops functioning altogether until I reboot. Rebooting always seems to fix it for me though.
If you need advice on which SBF to flash send me a PM or something. I had to flash an SBF for the first time a month or two ago, and finding the proper SBF was the most difficult part of it all.
Thanks for the help guys, i can flash the sbf, but now i get "code corrupt" and "battery low" errors. I can charge the phone via pc, but its restart in 5 minute. I keep charging it, but after 3 hour its still "low battery" message. With wall charger, the phone enter to bootlader and 1-2 minutes later the "battery low" error disappear but no charging led. After this the phone dont have enough battery life (i keep doing this charging method for 2 hours)
Charge your battery longer.
Check the MD5SUM of your SBF

I tried everything. When usb-pc in, i see the white led. 5 minutes later the phone enter to bootloader mode. Low Battery, Cant program error messages flashing. After 2 minutes the phones say "OK" and RSD lite recognize the phone! BUT! I cant do the whole flashing process, because 3 minutes later the phone shut down. If i wait to charge more in the bootloader more, its still shut down in 3 minutes.
I try to shut down the device everytime if its enter to bootloader, to charge more, but after 8 hours doing this, its still "low battery".

I think, we are at a point at which we are running in circles, my friend.
You tried just everything to reanimate your phone.
You must check your battery in ANOTHER device or load it in ANOTHER external charger to be sure that it's okay. Not in your phone and not in your PC.
If the battery charges well, then your phone is either physically damaged or bricked.
(Service Center needed)
Otherwise, if it's (battery) just charging fine and your phone boots up, first flash stock SBF and then flash what you want to.
If the battery isn't charging in that OTHER charger, then you know, you have to buy a new one.
Another thought, not very likely, but maybe your phone is damaged by overclocking/heat and suffers due to this under those permanent blackouts?
Bottom line is: you need another Defy with another battery to find out for yourself to solve your problem.
Unfortunately there is no wizardry
Question:
Is it necessary to go to boot loader for charging?
(I'm not sure about that.)
As a try, just let the phone off connected to power for a couple of hours.

I flashed 4.5.3-109-fixed.sbf and i GOT MOTOROLA BOOT LOGO! but always bootloop.

its okay? And i get fully working rom? (i know its defy+ but with the fixed sbf its partially working)
Glad to read that. This is good news :highfive:
Nope, unfortunately you won't get it running with a Defy+ SBF without having trouble/more work on your side.
Better download a MB525 SBF playing the game save. But it's your very own decision.
First see here (Maybe you already know all this stuff):

Okay, I would take one of the MB525 SBFs from the "Android 2.2.2 "Froyo" section (3.4.2... or 3.4.3...)
NOT any Chinese SBF = no go!
But watch out for your Bootloader version (BL5, BL6) and your type of camera (red or green lense).
After flashing your stock ROM/SBF and the initial rooting, I would first make a NANDROID backup (CWM Custom Recovery) to have a clean ground.
Then I would first flash the stable CM7.2.0 and also do a NANDROID backup (CWM Custom Recovery) to have a solid home base for playing around.
Finally I would flash the latest Nightly of CM10 02.11. + Update from 07.11. completed with gapps minimal or gapps signed from 2012.10.11 (Google apps Android 4.1.2)
Much work to do for you, but remember: Even the longest way starts with only one little first step.

Hello,
I had a bad flash of a custom ROM which lead to me using RSD Lite 5.6 and restored it (.621).
Then had the same error again.... No problem I had thought, I'll just SBF it again....
NOPE
Now the stock boot screen is in a loop and using RSD doesn't fix the problem....
This is my first time posting and I could really use some help.
Many thanks in advance.
SBF it again, and when it gets into that loop battery pull, and then unplug it, put the battery back in, plug it in to a WALL CHARGER, it has to be plugged into the wall, and then boot into recovery, and flash your ROM, and make sure you wipe everything first.
Thanks
All set. I moved to using the SBF boot disk. Works much better.
Hello everyone, i need help. Yesterday i installed cyanogen 11 rom on my milestone, but when the phone boots, it said setup wizard stopped working and i couldnt do anything, after that i flashed my device with 2.3.4 version, from 2.3.6. At that time i didnt knew that that will brick my phone. So now it wont turn on...when i put it on the charger led next to charger/usb flashes, when i connect it to usb led stays on. I read a lot threads on the forum but no luck. I just need to enter to bootloader so that i can flash it again, i tryed it with camera vol down and power but now luck. Anyone knows another way?
Thanks in advance.

I almost killed my M2 last week, all my fault. When battery is too low, cable bypass is not enough to turn on with vol down + camera. But there is another trick in RSD lite.
Put the bypass cable in the M2 battery & phone then connect bypass cable in a wall charger (computer usb port has not power enough). Now plug the data cable in the M2 usb then connect to PC USB port. Phone still appears to be dead if you try to power on (try it). Go to RSD lite 5.7 and click "Show device" until device properties shows something. Now ignore that your phone looks powered off and go ahead flashing with RSD.
After flashing you will need to do a factory reset as usual, turning on with X pressed until triangle appears. Note that in some M2 you go to wipe menu pressing @ one or more times in triangle screen, while on other M2 you press vol up + vol down to get wipe menu.
Mine was bricked for the same reason, flashed BL, 2.3.6, then because I could not wipe (didn´t know that there was two ways to get menu), I messed up the entire thing, flashing 2.3.4 - phone dead with side led on when connected. Battery does not charge in this state, so after discharged I recovered this way.
Progress
Ok, this helps a bit......I managed to flash my M2 but still no startup screen.
When I did what you wrote, RSD Lite v5.7 did show my device and it started flashing it, in some point the screen on my phone lights up and shows "FW update in progress.." . Everything finishes nice with no trouble...rebote and PASS...
But there is no Motorola icon shown, neither I can start in recovery mode, or bootloader mode or any other that i tried.
When I connect it to PC with data cable, it makes sound like the USB device is plugged in, and it also can be seen in RSD Lite as connected device but nothing on the M2 screen... Same thing happens when i press power button on the phone while it is connected with the data cable.
Any idea why?!
By the way, tnx for helping me this much! :good:

Excuse me, what sbf version are you trying to flash? Do you know your current BL version?
Please note that some sbf requires bootloader upgrade to 70.13 first.
And there is not direct downgrade - i.e. once flashed GB, flashing froyo bricks M2. Actually even between GB versions, once installed a R01 GB sbf you can not flash any R00 GB sbf. Some downgrades only this way.
Also there is not BL downgrade.

I also think he's trying to downgrade. Perhaps he flashed Latin America ROM, and now he's trying to flash UK one. I don't know, but what he describes looks exactly what I experienced when I tried to flash Froyo over GB.
IMHO he should try to flash the latest ROM, that means Latin America 2.3.6 GB.

Yes, that is exactly what happened.
After reading some more about this, I now understand what was my problem....
Playing with my M2 I installed some CM versions, 10, 10.2, 11... and finally when I wanted to go back to stock rom, I find newer version than mine was, and there is the first mistake. I installed it not knowing that I can't do a downgrade later.
Secound mistake was that i TRIED to go back to my old stock rom, and....black screen happend.:crying:
But thanks to your help I now know how to fix it. And i did! :victory: :highfive:
My BL is 70.13 , and when i checked my CG31 with "smgver" it show that it is v4.
I can't go back to my old rom, but now I can install costum or some BR/AR gb except for persona&vivo,which is 4 as Endless7 explaned in his text.
Now there is only one more problem... the battery cannot be charged. There is icon like it is being charged, and also it says charging 1% and always is 1%.
I have original battery and one that is not original...neither one of those two can't be charged.

When connected with a wall charger a discharged battery should jump to 20% in config, battery. If locked in 1%, probably there is a mess in the battery state variable.
If you are using a custom recovery, try to clear battery state on it and select the option to fix permissions.
Doing again the master clear/factory clear also may work, but needs to config all the phone again.
Another thing to consider, any short circuit or wrong wiring while doing the bypass cable may damage the charger (or battery, or phone), do you have a spare one to test?

When connected with a wall charger a discharged battery should jump to 20% in config, battery. If locked in 1%, probably there is a mess in the battery state variable.
If you are using a custom recovery, try to clear battery state on it and select the option to fix permissions.

I tried both of this things, and none of them worked. When powered on, without charger, on the battery icon stands [!]
and when it is connected with a wall charger, icon changes to little lightning ( standard charging icon) inside the empty battery, without movements (battery do not changes colors, red, yellow, green). On lock screen says: Charging 1%, and same on the battery settings (1%).
That was on costum rom.
And on the stock rom in the battery icon stands [?], and when I connect it to the wall charger it says (with original Motorola battery inside):
"Invalid battery
Your device battery is invalid and cannot be charged.
Replace the battery with an original Motrola battery."
I changed the cable, and the charger, but I do not have third battery...short circuit...maybe...maybe.
One interesting fact, the battery seems to be charging, although it says 1%.
The original battery was empty at the begining, she couldn't even start the phone, and now phone is working on that battery....strange. Should it be able to do that, if there was a short circuit?
As far as I know, flashing stock sbf overwrites most config files, also battery statistics. Maybe the easiest solution would be to buy a new replacement battery - at least here, in Poland they go for 7-8$ - quite cheap IMO.
I remember when I was using MS2 that once I had this question mark instead of battery status - it heppened when I drained battery to zero, phone was unable to boot to charging mode, so I booted from another battery, and with a wall charger plugged in, I replaced battery with empty one. Then question mark sign appeared when there was no battery, but I don't remember how I got rid of it. Maybe it disappeared after some time? I don't know. But for sure it disappeared.

Battery sign with a "?" shows when battery is completely uncharged (and before the master clear in my case). Power off the phone, install the bypass cable (again) and put it in the wall charger with phone powered off. Wait 15 minutes charging before power on and wait more 15 minutes charging. Now remove the bypass cable and let battery charge as usual before powering on again.
I did all of that. I downloaded some battery widget, and it shows the battery state 100%. Same is when i go to Settings=About phone=Phone status, battery status is charged 100%. Now the only thing is that in the original battery status icon is still [?].
The important thing is that battery is 100% full and phone is not broken, it works! !

I flashed costum and stock rom.
I have replacement battery, and same thing happens on it. Also I tried changing them while charging...nothing.
Maybe it will disappear by itself if I wait long enough. :laugh:
