bricked motorola logo - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
so I'm having my Defy for a while now and just installed the multi boot on top of CM10.1
Now its bricked, meaning doesnt continue after Motorola logo.
I know that there are several tutorials out there, but all with different stock roms so my question is,
which rom should I use?
Its a German Defy green lense (MB525)
Bootloader (vol up+power) shows:
Bootloader
09.10
Basically I never flashed any rom with RSD, it was stock froyo, 1st with CM7.2 and later with CM10.1 so the original BL version should still be the same.
If possible I'd prefer not to burn Qfumes or whatever they are called...
Thanks a lot!

I'm stuck in a similar problem.
I mistakenly flashed DFPRC_U_4.5.3-109_DPP-14-17 (downloaded from here). Now my defy with Green Lens simply shows a black screen. Is there any way to fix this?
I think your BL version is 7, but I recommented first you flash DFP-139 from this: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php .It's BL6 version if with this version still black screen. You'll need to flash BL7 231 from this thread, first you'll need flash 231 when ROOTED 231.
!!!TRY FIRST WITH BL6!!!

[Q] Unbricking Unbrickable Motorola Defy

I have Motorola Defy MB252
When i bought the phone i installed MiUI to it. I have been since always upgraded MiUI using its updater. Yesterday I was drooling after the Android 4 for the Defy and decided I would try it out. I had some rom loader with 3 buttons installed on the Android. I pressed the one with boot rom manager button or something like that – I cant precisely recall what the buttons said or what was the name of the program. After this the phone booted and got stuck to the Motorola logo. I then tried to recover the phone to working state by flashing different SBF files from umts_jordan/list.php. None of them work – I am currently stuck in situation where the phone wont even show the Motorola logo. The phone automatically goes to the SBF flash state. Im flashing from Windows using the RSD like v5.5. Latest SBF I flashed was 3.4.2_145_finland\JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_145-003_DEBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA039.0R_UCAJRDNFRYORTCOREEU_P009_A006_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
I only get blank screen with white front indicator led shining. I can get to flash state and it will only then print its programming it. The RSD lite says flashing was OK.
I did not keep good track what SBF files I have tried to flash.
I’m desperate – do you have any ideas what I should do?
[EDIT]
I flashed Defy-BL6Downgrade.sbf. Now i can get to Bootloader 09.10 (i see the normal bootloader when booting the phone but still no android).
FIXED EVERYTHING: Follow instrucsions in thread #1152377 post #8

Defy Flash Bootloader Err:A5,70,39,00,27

Hello mates,
this morning I've taken to update the defy of CM10-20120810 to 20120904 CM10-last (had 2.3.4 kernel "kernel-gb-234-451-134-signed")
but after upgrading, has given me the battery fault that I was 100%
I tried several times to put him the Fix battery, but nothing at all ...
so I've taken to "Flashing" the Defy, first I tested with
ME722BL6.sbf
later with
rom_froyo.sbf
and when I RDSLite says "the phone is beein Rebbot" or something .. I restart, get the Motorola logo disappears .. and goes blank ..
and puts me in RDSLite "Finished" and "PASS"
Defy but does nothing ... and when I press the power button is switched off, give it back, turn again as "Bootloader" with the following error
Err: A5, 70,39,00,27
I've also tried to say next. "sbf"
bl7-2.3fix.sbf
526krfix.sbf
Vodafone and the original:
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-4.4_VFSBLUR_SIGN_SIGNED_USAJRDNEMARAB1B8VFES03A.0R _PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYOVFES_P028_A018_M002_HWp3_Servic e1FF.sbf
all with the same result ...
can help me???
I'm already not to do ... took all day ..
Which stock ROM were you on? If you flash the same ROM again, you should not have this problem. This happens mostly if you flash a ROM with lower BL than the current one on your phone.

The first SBF i put, there rom_froyo.sbf (original from motorola i think)
before i try to upgrade to CM10-20120904 i have kernel 2.3.4 and i think that the same "rom_froyo.sbf", because i made only one time Flash with RDSLite...
from first and unique flash with RDSLite, only i made update from recovery mode - install zip from sd
only put cm7, cm9 and cm10, then the Gapps... and the last time when upgrade to cm10 i made, install cm10.zip, install kernel 2.3.4, and install gapps...
Any idea about the firmware version?

As you flashed ME722BL6.sbf, you are now on BL6 and I assume that's a Defy+ ROM, so no downgrade to Froyo. Try flashing the ME722BL6.sbf file again and don't flash froyo ROM on top of it. If it gets stuck on M logo, go to recovery and do a factory reset.
If you have a greenlens defy, you can no longer use the camera.

I have normal defy, with red lense (bayer)
the principal problem now is that can not made nothing... only it put in white led when i connected to usb...(no combination (power+vol+ or power vpl-) made nothing)
Try this: Pull out battery. Keep volume + pressed. Insert battery and then press power button. It should now enter bootloader mode. Connect it now to PC and then flash SBF with RSD.

I'm trying to charge the battery via USB cut,
red wire to positive and black to negative,
I'll leave loading an hour or more, and try again.
what "sbf" do you recommend that put in defy? BL6 or BL7 ...
Could you put the recommended "sbf" links?
thanks.
Charging on unregulated USB for an hour can kill your battery

What defy you have: red, green or plus? You cant install lower rom than 188. If you have plus - you'll have all things working, red - battery can make work with batt fixes, green - camera will never work on BL7, only on CM10,CM9.1 or other roms with custom kernel. You're stuck on BL7 so try flash 231 sbf. Read this post, you'll find more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12419400&postcount=3

525 green lens can not be flashed, help please!

Hi guys! I have the Moto Defy 525 green lens
I really need help.
I have installed Cm10 JB from quarx and have been testing it for about 3 months with no problems. Today (and days before) the phone was very slow so, I decided to return to froyo or cm7 but...
I don´t know what I am doing wrong. Every time I flash it to froyo, RS lite stays on "Plase manually power up the phone". In that point the phone is already in a booting again and again. I have tried with several stock rooms from diferent regions, froyo 2.2.2, 2.2.1 but is always the same. Right now the battery is charging directly from wires because the rebooting drain it all.
What can I do?
Do you think that "Android 4.1.2 Jellybean from quarx" have changed something and I no longer have a 525 model?
I don´t know anything, just saying...
Please... help!!!
My first language is spanish so, if any can help me in that language would be better for me.
I will apreciate any suggesting. :crying::crying:
ok, thanks anyway.
I have found a solution some where else.
This is what I did:
When RSD lite get stuck on "manually power up..:" I unplug the battery for a few seconds then, I have entered on stock recovery ((- btn and Power)then(+ & - btns) and wipe everything and... that was all. The phone have restarted normally.

[Q] Possibly corrupted bootloader going from CM10.1 to 11

The phone battery on my Defy+ running CM10.1 died while connected to RSD Lite. I was able to get things going again using the McGyver USB cord hack, however all I see now is a black screen unless I am hooked up to RSD Lite and downloading at which point I see, "SW UPDATE IN PROGRESS...". RSD Lite appears to be loading software successfully, however none of the loaded ROMs have booted. I cannot see any of the boot loader icons, (red Motorola logo, or Android with the question mark in a triangle), and I can not get the white writing down the left margin after holding the "up" button while powering on. Pressing the on-off switch does cause RSD Lite to show that the device is connected, and pressing the button again causes a disconnect.
Is my device irretrievably bricked? TIA.
No, your device isn't bricked, Defy not possible to brick. You simply flashed lower version SBF that is on you phone. Since you have Defy+ you'll need to flash 4.5.1-134_DFP-231 BL7 sbf to get working phone again.

Defy is difficult but not impossible to brick!

Where can I download this? I've been working through the SBF files here: "http://sbf.droid-developers.org/", but the one you mentioned isn't one of them. Thanks.
Got it.
Flashed "DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_ND_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTNORD_P011_A013_Service1FF", and that fixed everything.
