a friend of mine gave me his bricked defy and asked me for help.
it will not turn on at all but when i connect it to my pc the white led turns on and it's recognized by rsd-lite.
as always, i flashed JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf which always does the trick, but this time it did the same thing as any other sbf - nothing.
i tried searching of answers but eventually every advise i found was to flash JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf...
any help would be appreciated.
Does it display any error after flashing.?

nothing, just returns to same condition it was.
You sure the battery is charged enough for a flash.?
Sent from my XT912 using Tapatalk 2
yes, i charged it with another defy. about 70%.
try this

isn't it a defy+ sbf?
Yes, that's why I'm suggesting it as a last resort
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 2
what are the chances it will work? i'll scared i'll totally brick it. it's 100% not a defy+
Zero percent chance of bricking
Only problem is that there may be problems in the stock rom, which can be fixed by installing cm10 or cm10.1
By problem I mean no camera or battery not charging to the full level but again these can be fixed by upgrading to cm10 or 10.1

it worked! the defy finally booted!
thanks a lot man!
so does that means that my friend flashed a defy+ sbf in the first place?

I think he flashed a wrong sbf
obviously, but usually jordn 97.21.51 fixes any wrong sbf flashing.
If device boot loader version is 7, then only defy + sbfs work(usually because of wrong flashing of a sbf)
Had that not been the case your initial sbf would've worked.

If your getting checksum errors then all you can do is try another pc or cable, if it doesn't work then I'm not aware of any software means to revive the phone

Hello! My friend ask me to help him back to life dead Moto Defy MB525 (with standard lens, not green).
Phone was bricked because of downgrading. Now, phone is completly dead (black screen, phone is recognized as "S Flash OMAP3630".
I was try to flash it with many different firmwares, but no luck. Can You hep me somehow?
And what's differeneces between JORLA, JRDNEM and JORDN ?
As a last resort you can flash Defy+ SBF.

I'm starting to think that I messed up bad this time, I'm having 0 sucess trying to revive my Defy, saturday I had decided I wanted to downgrade my CM10 back to CM7 so I went ahead with the whole SBF flashing business but somewhere during that something happened and now the only thing my Defy is managing to do is light the white led when I connect it on the USB to the PC, but the PC doesn't seem to be recognizing it.
I was trying to flash some SBFs, mostly Eclair and Froyo, but not one of them worked, all of them would just not boot, but up until I tried the last SBF it was at least being recognized. I assume the problem was because last time I had flashed a 4.5.1 SBF and if I'm not mistaken it isn't possible to downgrade after that.
I've already followed the unbricking thread, but I can't do much since it isn't being recognized when plugged in, and I've already left it there for more than 24 hours so I think the problem is not with the battery.
Flash dfp231. It should get you to the Motorola logo. If it hangs then wipe data from stock recovery

As I said, it isn't being detected by the PC, therefore not showing on RSD.
Use the mcgyver cable

Oh no, I have no knowledge of eletronics, don't wanna risk more damage by trying that.
Use an external battery charger. You may have run out of battery while trying to unbrick, and the phone at this stage cannot be charged normally

Use CM7, CM9 or MS2Ginger. Use aroma full wiper or TJKVs safe wiper to wipe everything and then flash the ROM.

At the moment i am using Ommi-Rom which is android 4.4.2
It is stable and I am yet to find any issues with it.
If you want to try it flash update-recovery.zip if you are in Slim,PA or CM10 or defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip if you are in a GB based ROM. (you have to reboot ater flashing defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip to enter the updated recovery.)
Then flash defy_safewipe.zip (not necessary if you flashed defy_twrp_recovery_2.6.3.0.zip)
and then flash Omni-Rom and GApps
You can provide feedback for Ommi here.

Go to recovery and flash. If you tried some ROMs, how is it possible that you tried some ROMs?

can i get download links please?
and i tried it already with version 5.6 i connect the phone and nothing happend...
You have to download the sbf and drivers, select sbf in rsdlite and flash. And what do you mean by nothing happened? Nothing will happen without the sbf

Yellow? Confirm if you are in boot loader mode(google it) it's a black screen with white text
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
Select defy plus and dfp 231 as per carrier/region
If stuck on Motorola logo for a long time after flashing enter stock recovery and wipe data
