If you turn it on while holding "dolume down" do you get the android+! screen? Some go into recovery if you touch the bottom right corner of the screen, but on some you have to hold volume up + down together. I had this problem today!
If you actually can't get to the screen with the android+! then I don't know what else you could do :-(

I really can not, no way to go to the screen with the robot android! he goes right on the logo motorola M!
can it be hardware problem?
1) Did you use the correct flasher? rsd4.9 with motorola driver installed properly.
2) If (1) not working, you could use motorola own service update from their site.

but no results!
don't worry about it, dude.
maybe you can try the way followed:
1.power off your defy;
2.remove the battery from the phone;
3.plug the usb cable into the phone without battery;
4.open RSD and chose one of the roms your listed, but 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC prefered,
5.take the battery into your phone, now your can see the "connected" on RSD;
6.click the "start" button to flash;
7.wait the phone reboot completely, usually it'll reboot.
if not reboot, remove and on your battery, power on your phone, then press the "volume - and power" botton together, you can enter the robot screen, press volume up and down botton together, usually you can enter the recovery, then chose wipe 3 and 4, totally you can save your defy~~
Be sure to have enough battery while flashing..
Get the phone into bootloader (hold volume down when switch on) and flash an SBF like one from the list you've attached using RSD lite. Surely you have used RSD Lite before?
It seems you have the same issue I have on my Defy as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095444
I’m also unable to get into recovery or get to the Android Robot screen using “Power + Volume Down”. Hopefully we will be able to figure it out and get this issue fixed.

This same friend, I have the same problem, is this a hardware problem? I move the roms but not normal
Vol I login recovery - + Power key
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Try flashing nordic, if fails arabic, if fails, 2.3.3, if fails probably corrupt nand broken hardware.
Before and after every flash always try to access recovery (volume down) and WIPE. reboot and wait crossing fingers, if it fails to boot flash next sbf, try to go recovery + wipe; reboot, cross more fingers; if fails to boot try next sbf and repeat.
The reason for this is that you can flash a lower version but it wont boot, so you have to flash a higher and higher version until you get one that works.
I tried to help someone with this problem before to no avail!
Everyone who is saying just wipe in recovery, or just flash with RSD blah blah blah, need to understand that he CAN NOT access recovery and HE HAS flashed multiple roms using RSD 4.9, read the OP. Im convinced this is physical hardware failure or similar. We all know the drill to recover our precious defy's in the event of semi-brick ie: bootloop or corrupt code. However this is more than a semi-brick. We are talking about successful flashing and still no access to recovery and infinite M logo!
I walked more than one person with this problem through every known procedure to bring these phones back. Even using sbf_flash for linux doesn't work as this is the only way I flash anymore I don't bother with RSD anymore. The thing is it DOES FLASH SUCCESSFULLY just no recovery or boot!

OMG Exactly!!!! i have same problem and nobody seems to be able to tell me what to do, they keep saying same thing about trying various SBF's and Vol down + power method. No matter what SBF file I successfully flash with, i cannot get into boot recovery mode.
I have heard before from desperate users that they were able to revive their phone by flashing a full 2.3.4 sbf. This however comes with downsides of not being able to downgrade to froyo by flashing ANY froyo sbf's. There is a way to downgrade back to froyo but its a dirty method. Even after downgrade you can't just flash a sbf, you will always need to restore nandroid and flash fixed sbf
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.
Hello,
I need help from the community.
Since I've tried Quarkx's 2ndboot updates, my Defy never stopped freezing and rebooting.
I have tried lots of sbf, either get it stuck in the bootloader with error err:A5,69,35,00,23 (with sbf that includes Quarkx's updates) either get it stuck in a bootloop (with Froyo sbf).
I really don't know what to do now and I don't have access to factory recovery anymore (pushing power button + down volume doesn't do anything).
Should I trash my Defy ? Or is there still a hope ?
Please help me, I really love this device, don't wanna change
Thank you all
Nobody has no idea ?
Is VERY very hard to really brick this phone. So:
Remove battery and when you put it back keep pressing vol+ button. The bootloader menu will appear. On PC start RDS lite and chose JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTNORD_P003_A001_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf. Connect defy to windows pc through USB cable and the connection confirmation will appear on RDS. Flash the ROM.
Hello everyone.
I searched the whole forum and found similar threads with kinda the same problem - but no solution worked for me (or aswell none was stated).
My problem is that my Xoom 2 ME (MZ608-16) (Android 4.0.4) won't turn back on, doesn't light up the LED when charging and seems to be fully bricked.
I also tried to do those button-combo tricks but it had no use. I held those combos several times for a longer period.
But what I can tell is that the screen does a small short flash as if it would boot after holding the buttons POWER/LOCK + SOUND UP for a short time.
Holding those buttons even longer after the first not-easy-to-notice flash it rapidly happens again and again.
What caused this trouble was that I tried to flash the firmware after rooting.
First I stocked at a screen showed that some flash didn't worked out well (looks like fastboot mode).. that happend after trying to flash the recovery to do a proper backup before to do the-stuff-i-wished-to-do. It showes up every boot. Normal boot could be inizialized even though after entering the "control menu" via pressing VOL UP + VOL DOWN + POWER/LOCK on the same time and releae it.
After that I wished to fix it via flashing the whole firmware in hope the message would go away.. troublesome was that I used the wrong firmware for another Model than the MZ608.
And now I'm stocked.
You all helped me already a few times without me registering.
Now I hope you can help me ones again.
Thank you very much in advance.
Greetings

Edit 2013-05-08: Still no changes.
I request further help
You can put phone back into fastboot using factory cable method - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1077414
If the phone is bricked then you need to use omapflash to flash fastboot and then the image - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1242330
Hi guys,
After an Unsuccessful flash from RSD, my cellphone doesn't recognize the battery anymore and I cannot charge the phone to try to reflash the unit again. Is there any chances to fix it? Without using an external battery charger?
Thanks a lot
This has saved quite a lot of defy's, milestone's, and even my own Xperia U http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
tks Lean, I did this procedure and worked as well...
I flash the phone with Retail Rom but always stuck in an infinite loop in Motorola's logo. found a post in xda that asks to format the phone and did work!
Now I rooted and back to tezet's CM10 rom.
Tks for all.:victory::highfive:
same problem here! after a SFB my phone stucks on motologo (it blinks every 30/40 secs.) But now I'm NOT able to go in STOCK Recovery! If I press X + POWER ON, nothing happens.
Any suggestion to come out of this "almost bricked" situation?

Take out the battery, press x, and while pressing, put the battery back on. I remember I had to do that once.
I'm not sure if it was X or both volume keys, or the camera key... I don't remember, it's been more than a year since I lost my milestone.
Good luck.
