Hello I have a problem with my milestone 2.
I was using cm7 and today I flashed the official gb sbf via RSD.
Then the phone bootlooped and I tried to enter motorola recovery pressing the "x" and then the @, but when the android exclamation appears and I pressed the @ nothing happened. As I have not gotten into recovery mode I decided to flash froyo sbf.
RSD said "finished" and didn't do anything. I tried to boot up the phone via power button and nothing happens. Tried charging the phone with no results. So now I've got no idea of what to do.
Any ideas?
Sorry for my english
Thank you
Ok now ive managed the way of flashing the phone again. Weird though, With the screen in black. Now it works. For avoiding the bootloop, it is possible to wipe data/dalvik/cache via the pc?
Thanks
Are you sure you have some charge in battery yet? Did you have full battery before flashing SBF? If you are sure, this is not because battery is empty, then try to get into bootloader by holding Power+Volume Down+Camera button and it should be recognised in Windows and then you can try RSD Lite. Or you can try another computer/cable/Linux
EDIT: I don't think so, since you can only use RSDLite (or sbf_flash in Linux/Mac) when in bootloader mode. So best way for you would be flashing SBF again.
yes I had battery and I bought a wall charger just in case. ( I had the battery problem months ago)
I'm having strange issue. The screen is black and RSD recongnises the phone. I can flash sbf but the screen is block during the "creating image file" status. When rsd says "flashing code group etc..." the phone screen lits and shows "SW update in progress" as normal.
But when RSD reaches 100% it says "finished and PASS".
I've done this before and at this part the phone reboots and rsd messoges "the phone is being rebooted"...
Now im trying too flash gingerbread official again...
let's see
Ok now with the official GB sbf the phone reboots lets see if it bootloops.
Asking again!:
Is possible to wipe dalvik/data/cache without entering recovery? via PC?
OK if someone has this problem remember that the @ button doesn't work anymore. Try vol up + vol down instead!!!
My MS2 is too. Don't boot into HS.

i had same problem here`s solution.
Having the same issue, none solution worked for me so far...
have u guyz flashed that 70.13 bootloader before? i did it like 3 months and i think that's the issue.
How is it?
OK people this problem is semi-solved.
If you flashed the official GB you can't downgrade.
If you try it you will get a black screen and the only solution is to re-flash the official GB

that`s, what i wrote answering Your post
This problem can fix.
1. Enter Stock recovery by: Put both POWER + X -> put together Vol + and Vol -.
2. Factory reset ( wipe data) and wipe cache partition
3. Done...
Guys, I am having kind the same problem with my device.
I try factory reset on the recovery mode, but then the phone shuts off before it end and does not comes back out (I have to wait couple minutes to get back).
I was trying to upgrade my phone from 2.2 to 2.3.5...
I try the bootloader and it shows me that the battery is low and nothing happens.
This happens, even when it is pluged to the wall charging.
I see also that, the light next to the mini ubs connector shuts off when the phone turns on.
I do not know what is going on and what else I can do to fix it..
Can you guys help me out?

You can't just go back to froyo from gb, at least not directly.
If you were on any 2.3.4 or Retail/TIM Brazil 2.3.6 (not VIVO) , you can try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497263
Good luck :good:

Maybe you tried to downgrade a non-downgradeable 2.3.6 firmware... what firmware did you have before the brick?

Maybe try to flash via RSD Lite the same stock firmware you had before CM7 (GB) and do a full wipe, then if the stock firmware is downgradeable (you have to check that it is BL=3 or lower, if it is BL=4 you're stuck in GB) try the method posted by Lean946: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497263
In the post linked there's a tool to check the BL version
To flash the original stock you must get the sbf file from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php
And the motorola drivers from http://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/
And RSD Lite 5.7 from http://www.mediafire.com/?racaejnadym1q2g
And follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032372
Hope it helps
I flashed my defy to android 2.3.6 and after that because of some problem I flashed back to 2.3.4 (Im new user and I didnt know its not possible to downgrade) and then my defy never boot up and never go to recovery or boot menu .I have the full chartered battery ( I can charge battery directly with special charger like Mcgyver battery fix) but when i flashed my phone with rsd lite it never boot up and screen shows black pages always please help me ( what can i do?
Flash 2.3.6 full SBF again with RSDLite. Try before, if you can access the stock recovery, to do a wipe data wipe cache
Just wipe cache and factory reset u will skip boot loop

Thanks for you reply but I had flashed to 2.3.6 before but nothing happened ,I cant access to recovery menu
when I press Power + up or down key it never goes to recovery or boot menu
Pull battery off for a while. Put it back. Hold volume- button and power on your phone. You should see android with exclamation mark.push both volume buttons at same time. Voila. You should be in stock recovery.

when u flash 2.3.6 with RSDLite everything is ok ? u get some checksum errors ?
my cell phone is defy but finally I flashed with 2.3.6 defy+ and it works !
now wifi and gsm antenna are very weak
Try baseband switcher and set to your region properly. Being in the wrong baseband may give signal quality weak and consume additional battery resources.
Hi all,
I have a friend's Defy from a French carrier and my friend is with another carrier so I decide to SIM unlock it by installing CM7 and other files.
So I have root it and install the recovery.
In recovery, I have flash CM7 and Gapps.
But I get a boot loop...
So I decided to flash JORDN_U3_97.21.51 SBF and restart from scratch.
But now, the phone wont boot at all.
Nothing on the screen but it's still reconized by RSD (even if nothing is displayed on the screen) I can re-flash SBF files and RSD say "PASS" but doesn't reboot the phone.
So now I have a brick and can't boot vol up + power doesn't display anything.
Dose anyone have an idea for me ?
Thank you.
1st don't loose your battery - when no working system on the device then it is not being charged
You wrote nothing about wipes - have u performed them? If not try to get into any recovery and wipe user data / factory reset, try vol- w/power or vol + & - together, take a battery for some time before doing it etc.
What ROM u had before flashing CM7?
Is it defy or defy+?
And you flashed CG5 sbf
When you give more details maybe I can propose proper solution.

If I understood right, OP's DEFY is completely bricked and he cannot even access recovery.
Anyway, I unfortunately no solution to propose as I have a DEFY in the same situtation and I'm currently unable to revive it. We aren't the only who had DEFY bricked like this and some managed to have it wake up by flashing certain sbf.
You can try searching "bricked defy" on XDA and see what sbf the topic creator used to save his DEFY, if he succeeded to.
dont flash sbf just after the bootloop..!

frend i wanna tell u onething.the very first time i did the flashing of cm7.1stable on froyo 2.2.2defy i got a bootloop..since i was in hostel i cudnt afford internet..so i was soo scared and even waited for 15 min..but the cm7 logo with an arrow swirling around didnt stop..i puld the batery out and again inserted and did something stupid like clearing data and got the condition worse
then i flashed sbf using rsd lite ..again rooted and flashed cm7.1 stable and got bootloop..this time i surfed net and found what shud hav been done ..
1)pull out the battery after the boootloop.
2)clear cache
3)reboot
tats it..the welcome window comes in no time..
so coming to the present issue, after flashing the smf did u get bootanimation with light passing over "android" againg and again ??
Check that u r using the latest RSD.
I have a Defy plus but the same thing happened to me before (black screen even no boot with vol up) 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.
The most important thing is to use the latest version of RSD.
and please tell me if it worked.
I'm not responsible for anything.
So, I had some issues with my Defy+...
I tested the latest 4.1.2 nightly and seemed like my backup was corrupted (?!) and I had to flash a 2.3.6 BL-6 .SBF since the backup would make me enter a bootloop.
Well, I tried with different .SBFs and sadly all of them have the same effect: the flashing process moves smooth, except that in the moment when I'm asked to power it up it's entering a bootloop.
Now, my battery STILL has some inside, but trying to charge it won't work(gives me the "?" sign). Don't know what should I do. Should I leave the phone in the bootloop until the battery goes away and then to re-flash a .SBF?...
Or my flashing process wasn't good enough and there's a workaround I don't know?... I don't want to brick my phone forever.
Charge battery with mcgyver metod or with other defy & reflash it with 231 sbf. For more info read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
So, there's no other option out there?...

Recharge battery with mcgayver metod and reflash sbf, you'll need start from scratch, because your bootmenu was corrupted and you can't restore nandroid or reinstall zip

Once you have flashed the sbf and back on stock you need to go into the moto recovery and do a restore to default / format system. that should get around the boot loop issue... at least it did for me...
Can't acsess anything

Hi together, well I hope this is the right place.... I'm owner of a motorola Defy MB 525 that ran without any problems on cm9 nightly for last 6 month. Now suddenly it doesn't start any moer andIi can't access recovery setup nor anything else so it's impossible to wipe anything, too. When connected to my notebook only the white LED is shining but nothing happens. The typical "hardware-found-ping" appears and several seconds later the " hardware was removed ping." The right drivers are installed on my notebook, but even RSD Lite doesn't found my Defy so I can't flash enything. Anyone has any Idea what to to?
Thank's in advance for any help!

Do you connect it to RSD in bootloader mode? Volume + when powering on. What is on the screen then?

If you haven't flashed yet try to keep with BL6 sbfs, and not BL7 like 231.
After battery charge try to get to stock recover (volume down when powering on) and wipe data/factory reset before flashing.
