as it wasnt charging, i searched around and saw the mcguyver method was a possible solution. i tried that and failed.
since then when i connect it to my pc it doesnt show the white LED and when i connect it to a wall charger it instantly shows the red "M" logo and gets stuck there.
Try mcgyver again and do it carefully. See if rsdlite recognises it.
If it still doesn't work, then I have no idea. You can give it for service.

Hi,
I've updated my Defy to the Chinese 2.21 Firmware a few days ago following this How-To http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919320 and everything worked fine for a couple of days but now I have strange problems with my battery:
--if I connect the mobile to the power supply nothing happens. The white LED sometimes goes on for a split second but then stays black.
--if i connect the mobile to the computer the white led goes on and it starts charging the battery, but after a few minutes the mobile starts booting by itsself and a few moments after i see the motorola symbol the white LED is going off and the mobile boots up to froyo but it switches itsself off very soon because the battery is low.
Any ideas how to make my mobile usable again?
Thank you
If you got the chance, try a different battery...
i read somewhere that someone had luck with that.
In a few days I will get a second defy from a friend, then i can find out and tell you if it is a problem of the battery, the usb port or the software...

Hi guys,
I`ve just had the same problem with my green lense defy.
basically when you recover using the chinese sbf you get the defy + kernel with it so it becomes a red lense/ defy+ as far as the battery charging is concerned.
So you need to install the battery fix for the red lense or defy+
there's a updated fix for the cm10
copy the zip to your sd card and flash the zip from recovery and all will be well. either via the usb if this is working and you have enough charge left or put the sd card in your card reader or adaptor on pc.
You may need to charge the battery using macguyver method (not more than half an hour and stop if battery starts getting warm or it may go bang.) or preferably 3rd party lion charger £19.99 in maplins at the moment.
just on my way out the door so haven't got time to post the links but easy to find if you search this forum.
good luck

Thanks, but I have not used Chinese sbf, regular CM7.2 for my defy ( green lens); With macguyver I got the defy charged up, it boots up and all; Only problem is that anything with the usb is not working, neither charging, nor recognizing ( by RSdLite, Motorola Media link, or Windows). I have been using CM7.2 for months without any problem; Also after charging via macguyver I tried re installing to old backed up Motodefy ROM, and also reinstalled CM7, as I said evertthing works except anything connected to USB, tried also different computers , uninstalled medialink, re-installed RSDLite all the works
will try some more; Any hints links welcome. Thanks

Hi
i wonder if anyone could help me please.
i have totaly bricked my defy.
it's the uk version,all i'm getting is the bright white light showing when i connect to pc using the usb connecter.I am using RSD Lite ver5.6 and it detects the phone ok and goes through the process of installing the sbf file but when it finishes and says Pass the phone screen stays blank. i am using Windows 7 and also using the JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA028.0R_USAJORDANRTGB_P026_A007_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.
Could someone out there please help me.
Its no longer bricked. Iv`e managed to unbrick it using a different sbf. Working like a dream again.
Are you trying to downgrade to 2.21? Did you have a higher version installed though sbf before?

Hello guys,
my friend gave me his defy+. I successfully rooted+flashed a new JB rom on it. He was experimenting something, he started to flash another rom on it, and now the device wont even boot. It does nothing, only it shows a white led when it is connected to the PC. The RSD lite recognizes the device.
Is there any solution to fix this or it should fly in the trash?
edit:
I flashed this rom
DEFYPLUS_U3_4_5_1_134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed
now the device starts, gets to the Motorola red logo, but then it goes to a black screen, where are these informations.
Bootloader 9.10

I'm too facing same issue, Did you found any solution ?
Issue is even when connecting to PC phone is not getting detected hence I could not flash it.
Hi guys, I'm gonna tell you what happened with my S4 to see if you can help me.
I got a MetroPCS Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919N) then I went to a tech and unlocked it. After 2 days the screen started blinking in pink color and I decided to flash it with a stock ROM from T-Mobile (SGH-M919-TMB-M919UVUAMDL-1366964131) using ODIN. Everything was great, in a couple of days the screen went kinda black (No brightness at all) I could barely see it. In this state with the phone turned off and tried to plug in to the PC or charge it and started blinking in green color. I decided once again to flash it with the stock ROM mentioned above but the phone won't enter in recovery or download mode after that I tried to flash it with the CyanogenMOD Installer......everything was OK but it stuck in about 75%, left the phone connected for 20min aprox and nothing happened. I unplugged it and tried to turn it on (It vibrates but I get no startup sound, logo, boot, anything!) ODIN doesn't recognized anymore, can't enter in recovery or download.
I tried to reboot download with ADB to flash it with ODIN but usb debugging is not enabled and ADB commands doesn't work.
I don't know what to do with my S4, I hope you guys can help me. I'm not in the US so I can't return it for replacement.
I hope to hear from you soon. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

Is the battery working ok? Does the LED go red when charger is plugged in as normal?
What happens when you try to boot to recovery?
If your screen start blinking pink and after that turning black, why do assume it's a software problem? No rom would cause that. It's clearly a hardware failure.

The battery is OK, I tested it already with another phone. The LED doesn't turn on when the charger is plugged in. When I try to enter to recovery it vibrates but nothing else happens (Black Screen).

Have you tryed it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477
At the bottom there are some information "how to revive bricked device". Have you tryed it?
i had rooted the defy+ & installed cm7(i think because it had been a long time ago) for my friend
my friend did a reset on the phone since it was slowing down...
i think it has bricked...
because it doesn't turn on also
he got it checked at the service center, they said they have to change its motherboard
i doubt that....
i think the battery is dead too
will it charge even if the phone is bricked???
now how do i restore the phone back to stock????
any kind of suggestions will be appreciated

it's turn off (take the battery out if it's getting stuck at boot to make sure) then hold down power and vol UP to get to the boot loader
If you get no response with factory cable, your device may be hard bricked

could u please explain it???
i have asked my friend to get the cable
is there a link that you can post??
EDIT: battery is charging via usb now
THANKS to @sevenrock
is it possible that the bootloader could be deleted???
because i was goin through some threads
twrp erased the internal storage along with the bootloader
thats what he claims...
just curious...
is dat possible?
btw i left the phone overnight connected(not the original moto cable, used sony cable) to my macbook pro(running win 8.1)
still the same
in rsd lite nothing shows up even after pressing down power+volume up
The McGyver method is very dangerous I would have sugested you not to use it because in my case I will never have the possibility of charging my phone via usb cable but with an universal charger and it can't be reverted so you are warned now,
Are you sure your battery is now charged to enter bootloader? It can't be erased, if not, then charge your battery with an universal charger then try to enter bootloader

after seeing thekguy mentioning abt dfp 231 i just remembered that i had flashed that sbf when i had rooted the phone
the phone booted after flashing bl7 sbf(dfp 231)
i guess the phone was bricked
& when it gets bricked... it goes to bootloader i guess
because i didnt have to press any buttons to go into bootloader
i just connected to rsd lite & flashing started & the screen lit up saying "SW update in progress"
Thank you guys for all the help & suggestons:good:
