Is so in Froyo, GingerBread is:
POWER + X... triangle... Vol up + Vol down (at the same time)

try some times press at same time vol+ and vol- on TRIAGLE screen
after some tries you will access the recovery menu
tenta algumas vezes apertar vol+ e vol- juntos e segurar por uns 2s dai tu vai conseguir acessar o menu de recovery

worked fine guys, thanks..
but now i got another problem i changed the rom through the Recovery to the last one from MIUI 2.3.7
after all i got a blank screen, first see motorola logo and got a blank screen and dont start the rom
there is a solution ??
EDIT:
i installed the SBF stock rom to get phone on again!
tryed to install CM7 2.3.7, using the step "From a STOCK ROM"
the same problem, motorola logo after reboot, and 2 sec after a black screen, and stay in this black screen FOREVER!!!!!

returned to the stock sbf 2.3.6 rom !
really, i tried MIUI 2.3.7 and CM7 2.3.7!
but everytime a black screen after motorola logo

Since u r on GB now, u can't use these two ROMs. It is a kernel thing. You can't go back from GB kernel to Froyo kernel and the two ROMs u r trying are on Froyo kernel.
The ones u can use are CM9 and Endless' CM7.

wow, clear for me now this thing of kernel... i was trying the cm7 2.3.7 by TEZET!
so now i have to use this one -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 GB KERNEL 20-Dec by Endless?
this is the last one ported?
thx the answer

I think yes, latest tezets build is based on old GB kernel (at least so I understand from tezet's post).
Port from Endless7 is pretty stable, but has some minor annoying bugs (in example notifications, that hangs while swipping them right with finger)

i used the CM7 by endless ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239778 ), but the same problem, now after the logo of motorola with the BUNNY, i got a black screen
really, what im doing wrong
I FLASHED the Fix_sbf from endless topic, but nothing change, it dont stuck in the black screen anymore, it stuck in the motorola logo with the bunny

did it too, reboot, but still stuck at the "bunny+motorola" logo !!

May be you can try this.
1.Flash 2.3.6 SBF.
2.Root & install CWM.
3.Open Endless7's CM7, remove the boot.img, devtree.img.
4.Remove the asserts to push these files from update-script inside META-INF/com/google/android/
5.Repack into a zip file and flash via CWM
5.Wipe data and reboot!!

Did you install this one
Latest version based on defy-cm7:
20111120.2013-ICS-v1.0
to quote from the endless7 cm7 thread
huatz84 said:
This latest build works great on my Milestone2 with previous official GB ROM. Thanks,Endless..You just save us from getting bored.
In case anyone is confused installing this ROM on his Milestone GB kernel:
-First,copy CM72 ROM on the root SD card.
-Enter recovery and wipe data,cache n dalvik cache.
-Choose install zip from SD card and let it finish.
-Reboot system now and you should stuck in black screen.
-Pull out the battery and enter bootloader (up button and power on)
-Open rsd and connect your phone to PC.
-Flash the fixed sbf and your phone should boot after complete.
-Be patient coz first boot will take longer and your phone should restart once.
-Give thanks to Endless or consider giving donations.

Just so I know you are using EXACTLY the right files.. got the appropriate links from the thread
Links for ROM

[Q] stuck in google logo

Hi,
I am using cynogenmod 7.1.0 RC 1.5 -jordan
I am stuck in Google logo why playing with recovery.
I read that I need to flash with sbf in boot to get back to normal
I have a problem since I am in 2.3.5 how can flash
with JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.7.sbf
This isn't the above sbf is 2.3.4 ?? or I am missing something ?
I have got this sbf from defy wiki

Do these steps:

You are stuck in bootloop since you didn't do a clean wipe before flashing the SBF.
Press and hold Vol- and Power button. When you get to the android with yellow exclamation mark, press Vol- and Vol+ simultaneously and then wipe data/cache.
Done!

You can't. 2.3.5 is BL6 (I believe) and you want to go back to a BL4 sbf - no way.

did all you have said .
cleared cache and clear data still not booting beyond google logo
what to do now ?
"I have pressed stock recovery when I end up like this"

one more thing blue light appears and than all the below touch button flash once..
Since I can't go back and flash above sbf.
with what can I flash ??

Questions go in the Q&A section

2.3.5 is Gingerbread kernel based and CM 7.1 - Froyo-based (as far as I can remember). Since you see the blue light, this means you have access to the boot menu and recovery mode, so just flash a GB kerne-based ROM and your phone will be fine. You can flash MS2Ginger by Walter79, for example, or you can flash Quarx's CM9 ICS builds (follow my tutorial in Defy General section)

Struck at the google logo. Nothing works after that. Tried with rsd but battery went down and unable to load Sbf.
Please help out

I too have this problem few weeks ago when I try about 6 ROMs.
I remember I forgot to wipe data and dalvik at the time of installing WIUI ROM and I have different recovery play with.
So just do one ... 1. In the recovery section go to the custom recovery and try wipe cache, and dalvik and them reboot.
2. If above step doesnt work them at the time when mobile starts .. then you see blue light glowing for some seconds ,,, when you see it press " volume down button ". you see again a stock recovery menu. In that do wipe cache and dalvik and then reboot.
In the 2nd method at the time of recovery if you see cant mount cache before wiping then may be you have to do RSD Lite procedure.
RSD lite and SBF :- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1093352
it a simple procedure. Just follow steps and you come with your official foryo 2.2.2
After that you can again install custom ROM.
Because it happens to me also. My phone shows me that there is no space in my mobile i.e phone memory is full.
So so RSD lite procedure and again back to froyo and then again install 4.1.1. jelly bean and now everything work good.

The exclamation mark that you see is your stock recovery....when you see that exclamation mark with an android bot in it...press both the Vol Up + Vol Down buttons at once...
This will get you into the stock recovery and you will see certain options in blue text....there hit the factory data reset and wipe the cache and then try rebooting your phone normally....
I had the same problem and following the steps i mentioned above resolved the issue...
Do let me know if it worked !!
Thanks

start from scratch again.
It doesn't take much time.
flash sbf-->root-->recovery-->cm10
and since you already had cm7 on your phone , i assume you know how to do this.

Wipe data and dalvik cache from custom recovery.if you cannot enter boot menu, then wipe data from stock recovery

If you havent flashed any stock SBF yet
Pull Out Battery
Put it back in
Turn the phone On
Quickly press Volume Down button when you see Blue LED
Wipe Data / Cache + Factory Reset
Wipe Dalvik Cache in Advanced
Flash a CM10 zip
If you are stuck with bootloader again. Flash CM9 instead of CM10. If you are still unsuccessful, you better mind telling in detail what you did to play with the SBFs (which version you flashed).

[Urgent help] I really need a Dev. Seriously.

Hello guys! This is my first post so please don't hate me.
I have an old Defy which I need to use because my current smartphone is broken. But I have some problems:
My Defy is a MB525 but months ago I've flashed an MB526 (Defy +) SBF and since then my Defy became a Defy+. The problem is: It's stucked on bootloop (M of death) and I CAN'T GET TO STOCK RECOVERY.
I try everything:
- Flashed all Defy MB525 SBFs = white led (of death) and screen off
- Flashed a lot of Defy + SBFs = only one "worked". It's the DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF this rom is the only one who makes my phone boot.. into a bootloop without stock recovery.
I don't have problems to recognize the phone on RSD Lite, my drivers are up to date and my battery is 100% (universal charger for hours). I try to revive this phone almost everyday. I'm using a Defy MB525 (used to be a Claro Brazil rom) with a MB526 rom and BL 7. I remember that one day I was able to flash a chinese rom and the system used to boot, but I couldn't get more than five minutes of use, the system crashed and rebooted. Don't know if this is important but anyway.
I just need to get to the stock recovery. I'm beggin you guys to help me because I really don't know what else to do.
Thanks very much for your understanding I'll be very glad if someone help me out.
Best regards.
PS: I really need your help DEVs, I'm not a noob but this is beyond my comprehension :crying:

Have you tried going to stock recovery after flashing DFP-231? It's not possible that the stock recovery is missing. Switch off the Defy, hold the power and volume down buttons simultaneously till a triangle with a ! mark appears. Then press both volume up and volume down simultaneously to get stock recovery. Then wipe data and cache and try again. If it still doesn't work, it looks like a hardware problem.

Guys I REALLY cannot go to the stock. Seriously I don't know why. I know how it works and it really seems like missing! I'm doing everything right!! It's a dead end :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Is there any way to flash only the recovery apart from a full SBF? I read about ADB also. If I could make ADB see my device when it's in bootload I could try some commands, right? But I think ADB just works when the phone is alread booted.
Thanks again for your help DEVs!

sorry for double post
Hey guys I figurated something! My defy only boots (into the bootloop) to this four Defy + SBFs. They are all BL 7 I think.
4.5.1-134_DFP-188
4.5.1-134_DFP-231
4.5.1-134_DFP-2311
4.5.1-134_DFP-2312
Any other SBF (MB525 or MB526) get me to the black screen and white led.
Don't know if this helps but anyway.. Still not able to go to the recovery.

Those SBFs are BL7s. Anyways, if you're not able to enter stock recovery then most probably you're doing something wrong. Watch some videos on YouTube on how to enter stock recovery. It is simply impossible for the stock recovery to be "missing". I may be able to help you on hangouts though.

bro,
have you faced any defects in volume controll previously.
It may be due to faulty volume switch, which essentialy need to enter recovery.

Hotdog I really appreciate your concern but I'm doing it right, seriously. I know that when you boot to the recovery a green android with an exclamation point appears, and then you press vol up + vol down BUT I CAN'T GET THERE. THERE IS NO ROBOT. NO LIVE. NO HOPE :crying:
Sorry I'm a sentimental mood I love this phone so much. I'll try to record the defy boot with my lazy webcam later

Hey bro! The vol buttons are working because sunday I flashed a "fixed sbf" based on my DFP-231 SBF and try to go to the stock recovery but instead it lead me to a bootloader failure. It means that the command was sent, but the system was corrupted.
I was thinking about "mixing" a NANDROID with this SBF and flash it via RSD LITE, is it really possible? I was able to mix SBFs before, it changed the M logo but lead me to the same "bootloader error"..

If bootloader is ok.....
Sound's like hardware problem...
Have you error output in RSD during flash process ?

Lame webcam record
Hey guys!! I made that video showing that I have no recovery. I know, there is no quality in this video because its an old (very old) webcam. Anyway the first time I try to go to recovery and the second I enter on the bootloader to show that the buttons are ok
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-vovcdpQ0s

That URL is for some other video?. Anyway, I found the video in question. It looks as if volume down isn't working, so I guess the fault is with the volume button. Most probably the bootloop will be fixed by a data wipe in stock recovery.

Sorry I fixed the video right now. The button is working, I make sure of that. **** it, guess this fancy brick with a M letter is all I got.
