I've had my defy for quite some time now with no special issues.
Flashed quarx CM10 several months ago and worked great for a long time but now it stays stuck on the CM logo and doesn't boot.
No problem getting into bootloader but doesn't go into recovery mode. Tried pressing down button and then powered up my phone but nothing.
The one thing that might be relevant is this happened after installing "bluetooth file transfer", enabling bluetooth (normally off on my defy) and transfering several google apps to another phone. Worked fine for a day or so and then just wouldn't boot.
Anyone have any suggestions?
If you can access custom recovery then backup your data and reflash ROM. If not start from sbf.

Hi, I have problems with my Galaxy Y. I will try to explain with my poor english the problem:
Before the first mod, I have done a backup of the phone (with CWM). It was absolutely stock, no rooted or modded. I was having trouble with inesperated unmount of the SD card and sometimes the phone shutdowns itself.
Then I installed MIUI Cream. Everything went fine, but I didn't like the ROM so I restored to the original state. After that, I rooted the phone. Then, the problem appeared:
When I try to unlock the phone (after a couple of hours without use) the screen is absolutely white. I press the volume buttons and the phone makes the changing volume sound, it seems to still working.
If I remove the battery and try to reboot it, the white screen appears again, the Galaxy Y logo doesn´t. But if I remove the battery and wait a couple of hours, the phone starts and works normally.
So, I restored it again and cleaned data and cache. Same problem. I tried to unroot it with the "update-unroot" package from the Dummies thread, I got "Status 7" error. So I removed the superuser app with Link2SD, restored it again... Same problem.
I tried to fix the problem installing Creed's ROM. It worked fine, but a couple hours later shows the same problem.
What can I do?
:crying:
Please, someone has any idea? Thanks for reading!

Thanks for the reply! I'm downloading the same firmware that my phone came when I bought it. After flash it I will post the results.
This problem can be a undervolting problem? I started the phone and I figured that if I constantly use the phone the problem doesn't appear, but if I wait 5 seconds (for example, before it locks) the screen turns white.
I've been trying various roms for a while now and tried out Cookies&Cream 1.3.0 as the latest flavor.
Problem is now I can't reboot, power down, or boot into recovery at all. It also goes into sleep of death and drains the battery in under 8 hours. I've tried WUG's toolkit, nexus 7 toolkit, flashing TWRP or CWM, and nothing works. it's gets stuck on rebooting screen and does nothing. Eventually it goes back into sleep of death and have to hard start it and it reverts back to cookies&cream 1.3.0 with no apps installed. I can reinstall apps but no recovery sticks and still wont allow me to reboot into recovery.
Any thoughts would be most welcome as it's barely usable in the current state.
nvm
finally got it into fastboot mode and was able to flash twrp and now into recovery mode. sadly none of the updated roms I downloaded stuck but at least it's up and running and it's only time being spent re downloading things. could be worse.
Turns out it ended up being the kernel that was causing the problem. It was one meant for 4.1.1 and I had updated to a ROM that was 4.1.2 based. I'm just thankful it was fixable.

Hi, I've searched my problem but came up only with "regular" reboot answers. Let me explain:
I was using the newest CM10 builds by Quarx as they were coming, and once in a while my phone rebooted/freezed. I was using nightlies so I was ok with that kinda of thing. But after flashing the last nightly (07/03), my phone was rebooting whenever I pushed him harder than opening the app drawer.
After wiping data, cache and everything else without any results, I've decided to flash an official SBF - Then the phone rebooted in the middle of the RSD flash process. I've started it again and it went ok... but now my phone is rebooting at the Moto logo, when I try to wipe the cache or factory reset through bootloader. I can't do anything with him.
Can someone give me any expectation? Something new to try? Or, hell, even a confirmation that my Defy is dead and there's nothing I can do?
SBF
Hi,
draw the battery,
wait a time,
put the battery inside,
start the steps to flash sbf,
after the flashing is finish make a factory reset in stock recovery,
install 2ndint ( i wrote something on the beginning like: After install 2ndinit restart, deactivat usb debug,and restart again),
Then install one of the beautiful CMs here.

You just have to flash another rom using RSD lite, It will work.
Or just flash the official ROM which u had before installing the CM 10
Thanks for the attention, but I have tried flashing both his original SBF (Retail 2.3.7 from Brazil) and the Chinese one, both causing reboots when I try to wipe data/cache in recovery. If I let it turn on normally it reboots in the first steps (wifi and account configuration), so I can't even install 2ndinit or wipe data through the system. Any other ideas?
Hey I installed Liquidsmooth 2.7 yesterday and it kept rebooting. I tried flashing back to CM 10.1 RC5 because it wasn't doing that before. Again it kept rebooting. It reboots like every 30 secs. It's always a quick reboot as well. I flashed back to stock and locked the bootloader but nothing seems to fix it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
yes , install sabermod rom and trinity kernel . enjoy

try the following:
wipe all caches, data & system
install ROM (i recommend SentinelROM 4.8 - it's very fast & stable)
install gapps (if needed)
wipe aigain all caches
reboot system
I tried that, I restored stock and locked the boot loader, I tried to root it again and nothing worked. I contacted Google and I'm getting it replaced. Thanks for the advice though

I was on paranoid android 4.44 and switched to art. The next day the phone restarted while I was taking panorama picture. I had never taken panorama pictures, so I don't know if it is the camera app or art. Eventually the phone would reboot and turn off. I did a wipe of data, dalvik, etc and that did nothing. I then reinstalled paranoid android ROM and reinstalled and the Same problem. I wiped again and this time I installed slimrom, and the exact same thing happens.
Tries to load ROM, for a couple of seconds it shows optimizing apps square and then turns off. If I turn device on again, the same happens. It doesn't matter which ROM I use. Any ideas? Prior to this, my paranoid android ROM ran flawless for about two weeks. Before that I was testing different roms .
Suggestions??? I searched the forum, but couldn't find this specific problem.
I have a nexus 4 and I use twrp 2.7.1

Have you tried flashing factory image?
Yes. I figured what it was. If I connect the phone to the wall, it stays on. It is either the battery or something to do with getting energy from the battery.
