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...
Moto Defy not charging at all

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

When the problem starter?? I have the same problem! If I connect the phone to PC the white led turns on but doesn't charge and if I put it in download mode the computer doesn't recognise the phone and give me error 43 even if I have the driver installed.

I did not touch the phone for a week I guess aftter this, now it is working; strange
I flashed a Defy+ rom (2.3.4) on my Defy (MB525), and it worked great. GPS and location finding, however, didn't work. My idea was to flash back to the stock 2.2.1 and restart to get upgraded to a more stable custom Gingerbread rom. The original issue in doing so was that the flash (WajkIUI) was for the MB 526. I was finally able to flash by changing the USB drivers to the MB526 drivers. Much to my dismay, flashing the stock USA TMobile Froyo through RSD Lite (versions 4.6, 4.9, 5.0, 5.3, 5.6) did not work. It will flash, then note it as a "PASS," then the screen on the phone shuts off. I even tried flashing back to the factory stock 2.1 using the same, but to no avail. My phone currently will not turn on at all, though retains the white LED after the power button is pressed if plugged into my PC. I have tried pulling the battery for a few minutes and using the bootloader, but it will not turn on unless connected through the PC. I noticed similar issues in the following threads, and tried the suggested solutions:

was the battery 80% or more when you started the flashing process? I once flashed my defy525 with 30% and didnt even boot (and it doesnt charge with the charger), i had to do a usb-revive charge to the battery then the flashing process completed.

All of you guys had the same problem. You tried to downgrade to a lower BL, which is not possible (try using fixed SBF method). You should understand that once you flash GB, it's not possible to downgrade to Froyo.

Hi all,
I think I got a sourious Problem with my defy (green Lens).
I was aktually running on CM7.2 Stable as out of a sudden the call was aborted and the defy dead. But the Battery was at perhapse 20%.
At home I pluged it in and was schowing to charge.... (showing the flash in the Battery symbol at 5% and red LED)
Next day still at 5%. so nothing charged. So I changed the battery with my second defy (running on CM10) 100% loaded. But the Phone shows me still 5%.
Wenn phone is pluged in I can boot and work with it, I also can go into the Custom recovery and into the bootloader. But only when I pluged the phone and not when connected to the computer. Also bootloader shows battery low, even with a 100% loaded battery, so I can't Flash anything with RSD.
I tried everything I know, installing new roms (at the moment its at cm10)
Wiping everything... also Battery. Tried battery recalibration apps. and even some battery fixes for Defy+ but nothing changed something.
My only suggestion ist that it must be a hardware defekt..... anybody some other Ideas, what I could try?
Any Ideas how much it will cost to repair? Warrenty surely lost?
Thanks in advance. Andy
Nobody any Ideas?
maybe you should try to reflash with your stock SBF file you had b4 installing CM7 and see what happens... if the battery doesn't show right even then, I'm afraid it might be smth with your hardware...

Problem ist, that i can install any custom roms using custom recovery. But I can't flash something over RSDLite, because Handy doesn't start without beeing plugged in (plugged into pc isn't enough) and even then it shows battery at 5% even if battery ist 100% Full (Witch I can test, because I got a second defy) So I wouldn't be able to Flash because Bootloder says, not enough battery.
I don't know how I should flash.....
Did you test to restore nandroid ? If you didn't make nandroid backup when all was good, it's an error...
If there is a PC on Linux near you, you can test sbf_flash (which works very well for me on my Salix OS), eventually with the -f (force) option.
Hi,
no I don't have a nandroid backup, from this phone.... Is ist possible to use a nandroid backup of another phone? As I said, I got a second defy, so I could take one from this.
just wipe data n reflash.
connect the phone to your pc/laptop tru the cable.. for a night.. then boot. wipe data and reflash, else there is a methid where u cut open the usb cable and give the red and black to the battery.
By now I own an HTC ONE S .... so it's not so important, but I would like to repair it anyway....

I think that you has flashed a sbf with a not optimal BL (eg. you flashed a BL7 or so). For this kind of problem already exist a good topic.

Motorola Defy MB525 battery unknown
Same problem here. My Defy was working fine until I installed 0404 Quarx build. Then after a few hours installing and setting up my apps back I did a reboot and the got stuck in the Motorola logo until my battery drained off. USB won't recognize the device but I managed to use an universal charger to get the battery running again but again stuck at Motorola logo so I flashed a new rom using RSD. That got my device booting up again but the "Unknown battery" message started showing up whenever I tried to charge. I spent the whole weekend trying new sbf and battery fixes but none fixes the problem. I even got back the previous Quarx build I was using and still nothing. Is there something else I might have missed?
So I kept trying with different SBFs but none of them work and yesterday I changed back to Epsylon's last rom, which was the first I ever installed in my phone and now Android recognizes when the phone is connected or not, and it shows the "charging" icon but the battery full. In battery status still shows 100% and Unknown. Strangely enough when I go to the bootmenu it starts charging, but only if I keep touching the screen and moving around the menus.
The problem started when i tried to downgrade my defy to CM7.2 from CM10.
First i was getting a problem of "Encryption unsuccessful". i browsed through a lot of threads and decided to use Rsdlite to flash a sbf file.
i tried flashing the Asia retail version.It showed 'Passed" in Rsdlite but i got stuck at the Motorola logo.
i again browsed through a number of threads, watched a few videos, and decided to flash a sbf "DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed" (i now realise this was fatal for my phone). (till this point the "SW Update" screen on phone showed the bootloder version to be 9 or 10 (dont exactly remember)). The phone just died after this. It wont start . No Motorola logo, No Recovery Mode, No bootloader mode. It just showed white led when connected to the pc and was not recognized by Rsdlite. i realised that the problem might be Empty Battery.
After this i tried the McGyver method and finally my phone was recognized by the rsdlite.
but now during the SW Update phase the screen doesnt show any bootloader version. and the end result is the same. White light at top, phone doesnt start, no M logo,,,, just a dead brick... another problem is that even after i put in a new battery, rsdlite will only recognise the phone only when i use the McGyver fix.
Please help me..... give me a working sbf file..
i dont want to just give up on this incredible phone...please help....

Do you have Defy or Defy+? If you have Defy (which lens?), then you just made your phone BL7. Follow this thread and report back - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889325.
When downgrading from CM10 to CM7.2, always remember to format system and data to ext3 first! I made the same mistake (had the same problem as you), then I followed the above guide.
When the SW update screen comes up, bootloader version doesn't show normally.

I think you just flashed a bl7 sbf (Defy+) meaning your phone now has Defy+ firmware with green lens. If you've tried everything else and it didn't work, then do that as a last resort. Both CM10 and CM10.1 will work.

To confirm you've gone to BL7, you can try flashing froyo sbf. There will be a bootloader error. If that's the case then follow that thread and CM10/10.1 or MS2Ginger are the only options I think.

Yes, the camera won't work since it is green lens. The sbf you flashed in the beginning (DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CEE_ROOTED_No_Signed) made your Defy into Defy+. That sbf was meant to be for Defy+ users.
You cannot go back to Defy. Since your phone is now BL7, you cannot go back to froyo.
So now you can flash MS2Ginger/CM9.1 (by walter79)/CM10/CM10.1 or any 2ndboot ROM. I think you can't install CM7 also.
You can find MS2Ginger,CM10/10.1 ROMs by Googling. Download CM9.1 by walter79 here - http://d-h.st/users/walter79/.
HI, I believe I have the same problem... I tried flashing my defy + with a portuguese version of android 2.3, when I was at 2.3. Now all I have is black screen with white led and it is not recognized by rdslite. As far as I understand I have first charge the battery with McGyver method or other charger, which will make the rdslite recognize the phone, and after that I can flash it with a newer firmware and get it back to life. Is this correct?
Thank you!

Unless your battery is low do not use McGyver. Use it only as a last resort.
You must have tried to downgrade, which is not possible in Defy+ through RSDLite.
Do you know if there is any way to recover my phone? It is not being recognized by rdslite anymore. While rsdlite was recognizing it I tried flashing with JORDN_U3_97.21.51, but nothing happened.

The usual. Update drivers and RSDLite, make sure you are in bootloader mode. If all else fails, go McGyver and get RSDLite to recognise the phone.

Y U FLASH ECLAIR SBF? You happened to find the retarded Eclair SBF that has a CG version of 5. Make sure that you are in bootloader, then make sure that it is really a low battery problem (either the phone doesn't turn on at all, including regular boot, bootloader or recovery) or it says "battery low, cannot program" in bootloader.

The usual. Update drivers and RSDLite, make sure you are in bootloader mode. If all else fails, go McGyver and get RSDLite to recognise the phone.

Y U FLASH ECLAIR SBF? You happened to find the retarded Eclair SBF that has a CG version of 5. Make sure that you are in bootloader, then make sure that it is really a low battery problem (either the phone doesn't turn on at all, including regular boot, bootloader or recovery) or it says "battery low, cannot program" in bootloader.

From my Experience ::
1. cross your fingers :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:
2.Use the Mcgyvor's method to get your phone recognized by rsdlite. (Only as a last resort)
3.After that just follow the procedure in Hotdog's Guide ( 2nd or 3rd reply in this thread)
4.After that your phone will become MB526.
5.flash any ROM designed for both 525 and 526
Cheers..!! :goodYou can treat me If you want..

You're gonna have to wait, buddy. It says right up on the website: "Quit e-mailing me about "no links" lol ..... there was a HDD failure - links are being recovered (will take some time)."
Right now only the 2012 and 2013 phones are up (etc. Droid Razr, Droid Razr HD, Electrify M, Photon Q).
Unless someone can upload the huge-a** file to some file-sharing service, you're out of luck. Sorry. I don't even have the Defy SBFs anymore.
