Have a problem.
I've been using MIUI (definitely MIUI, believe 1.8.x, been about 2 months since flashed) and the phone was working well and was happy, but while texting today, my phone turned off and then was stuck on the red M-logo. Tried everything to get it to reboot all the way with no luck.
Here's what I've done so far...
-Popped the battery... red M-Logo
-Changed batteries.... red M-Logo
-Tried to get into recovery... NOTHING... no exclamation mark or anything. No blue LED. Just the red M-Logo. Tried everything.
-Got into bootloader by volume down and power
-Bootloader and SBF... same thing. Stuck at red M-Logo
-Tried to get into recovery... no recovery.
-Bootloader and SBF Froyo... white M-Logo.
-Tried to get into recovery... no recovery.
-Bootloader and SBF... red M-Logo
-Bootloader and SBF a different file... SBF failed
-Stuck in bootloader (says "Code Corrupt") which is where I give up.
I really need some help. I've scoured the internet for a solution and this seems to be over my paygrade now. Any help will be appreciated.

The only way to fix this is to SBF again.
Try using the Linux method instead if RSD Lite. (Or vice versa, usually usually the Linux method works better)
Redownload the .602 SBF and make sure that all MD5s match.

Yeah, I figured as much and I've SBF'ed a good 20+ times and done the Linux.
Just an endless M-Logo without the ability to get into recovery.

After SBFing, go into recovery (Power, volume up/down, camera button) and do a factory reset. All will work then, I assure you.

He stated a few times that he is unable to access recovery. I've had the same issue with my Droid X since October. Nothing has fixed it so far.

I have a similar problem only when I go into bootloader it says cannot reprogram battery low. any way to possibally charge the battery ncluding a ghettorig settup?

There is a certain way to strip the USB charging wire where you can place it on the battery terminals to charge the battery. Otherwise, just find someone else with a Droid X and use their battery.

Try pulling your MicroSD card out with a fresh SBF and Data/cache reset. Just a thought. A b0rked SD card *shouldn't* keep you from booting, but stranger things have happened.

[Q] Unable to get into CWM and no service/WiFi

Hi, I have a really strange problem.
I had this build of MIUI on my phone for a few months, no problems
droidforums[.net]/forum/dro...-6-stable[.html]
but a few days ago, my phone started giving whacky battery readings (would drop from 40% to 5% in a few seconds) and i wanted to go into CWM to reset the battery stats.
So I had my phone plugged into my car charger, and when I booted into recovery, it didnt do anything, and the screen stayed black for a few minutes (I assumed it was out of power)
When it booted again, ALL OF MY DATA had been cleared and MIUI WAS NOT EVEN THE SAME AS THE ONE I HAD FLASHED. Same version number, sure, but completely different theme and boot animation. (I believe its currently the stock theme)
Well whats even wierder is that I have no data or wifi. Wifi gets stuck on "Obtaining IP address"
And whats even wierderer than than is that every time i boot my phone up, I am greeted with the android activation screen, no matter how many times I hit skip the set up
I obviously cant activate my phone without a connection
it also resets itself every time i turn it on. Any app that I install from my SD card will be gone.
It gets worse. Droid 2 bootstrap does nothing, even though it reports success. I cant use ROM manager as it has to install CWM from the server.
The reboot recovery option from the boot menu just reboots the phone, and there is no blue LED on boot that I can see to press volume down.
(Holding volume down gives me the android with the box and arrow, and nothing else, I know this has to do with recovery but not much else)
So can anyone tell me how to get CWM working again???
THANKS!

Does your MIUI have a boot menu? If it does you should see a light right before it goes to the boot animation.

Nope. nothing. not even su cat.jpg works

Is there any way I can avoid this? last time I sbfed it didnt work out so well

You could try a data wipe in stock recovery.

Actually, i cant even get into stock recovery. I see the android and the box after I press x, but pressing the search key does nothing and the search key works.

You have to press both volume buttons at the same time.

I did this, reset to factory deafualts, and absolutely no difference. I cannot find a single sbf file that is still up (megaupload and multiupload are the only ones I can find)
Can somebody please give me a mirror or give me a way to fix this?

Black screen after downgrade?

Hi I just downgraded my defy so that I could install the custom recovery but after flashing the sbf the phone won't even turn on. Is there any way this can be fixed?
The sbf I used is JDGC_U6_0.26.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA02F.0R_JORDANGCCORE_P011_A023_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf
P.S.: The phone won't even charge. The only time when the led turns on is when it is connected to the computer.

There is no such thing as downgrade with Defy! Once a higher bootloader version sbf has been flashed you can never go back and flash one with a lower version (read the huge All-In-One guide in General section and pay attention to e-fuse).
Now you are stack with sbf's with boot loader version equal to or higher than the one of your previous sbf. I don't recommend flashing one with a higher BL version. Just go back to your previous SBF.

yep this happened to me the other day. As Auris said you cannot go backwards.
I had the same thing wouldnt display anything I figured out I had flashed to 231. Not sure what you had but flashing to the same BL version is the only way to get it to work.
Took a little of playing around with my phone till RSD light said it was connected but when it found it, It seemed to connect every time after even though there was nothing displayed on the screen.

What exactly did you do? My phone doesn't even boot into bootloader.

Charge your battery out of the defy, i think your battery have too low voltage to enter the bootloader.
If your battery is still re-charged, try first a factoryreset.
If that does not work for you, try to flash a normally froyo-SBF.
AFAIK, you haved flashed a chinese SBF, maybe you can´t enter the Recoveryscreen, but BL should work. So make a blind flash with the recommended "normally froyo-SBF".

Had to sacrifice a USB cable but it worked. Thanks

so you got it working???
Mine wouldnt show any screen but If the USB was plugged in and I powered the phone on it would have the little white light in the top.
I plugged phone into USB. powered it on holding the volume up so you get into bootloader (this will not come up on screen, but RSD lite should see your phone).
From there you should be able to flash a new rom. I tried prob 5-6 roms before I found one that worked.

Deas nexus 4

Hello everyone,
I was doing an antutu test, and the phone just shut off yesterday. The battery was about 60% and then impossible to restart it. I then let it cool down 10mn then tried again with no luck. I plugged to the wall with original cable and plug and then a red flashing light was lit. I went to read online about this behaviour to find out it was (to some people say) due to battery being dead and had to wait to recharge a bit. I let charge for about 2h but there was no icon of battery charging on the screen. No need to mention that i have tried everything (holding power button for 60sec, holding volume down + power button etc etc) nothing was working. Then i read somewhere on this forum i had to press volume down + power THEN plug it into wall. I gave a try then it worked it went to recovery mode.... BUT BUT BUT once i tried to go to each option (start, restart bootloader, recovery mode), the phone was shutting down right away after the google image and again red flashing light... Bummer... So since it was getting into recovery mode i plugged it to pc and then followed the thread on how to reinstall stock rom etc etc. I followed steps but since i was already with a custom rom and kernel (PA+TRINITY) i used the toolboxkit because the command fastboot was not working in the command window. I did flashed the stock bootloader following what was supposed to be flashed first.Result.. Now no red flashing light, but nothing else either, no light, no power, no charging, no recovery mode, nothing... ANY ideas would be highly apreciated before i call google for an exchange.
Thanks to all for help.

What exactly do you plan on telling Google?
How did you flash only the bootloader??
Did you try the toolkit to reflash stock???

Well since it does nothing else anymore i was going to tell them the truth besides the part it had another custom rom and kernel and i started the toolkit and i placed the 6 stock .img int he right folder then i started by flashing the bootloader and was waiting for reboot to flash the rest of the images like it is mentionned on the thread on this forum.
I used the toolkit to flash the bootloader but now the phone is dead completly. No light flashing, no battery icon, it is plugged on the wall and i get no power in it.. This is why im stuck before trying to flash stock rom and wipe all datas...
If you have any idea... i take it gladly!! but im not very used with toolkit so i dont seem to know how to wipe all datas besides flashing stok data image?? but the question is hos to get power back in phone now???
thank you for your precious help

Hello
Phone totally dead, not even charging anymore. Google sending replacement

[Q] Defy not booting/blank screen

(Motorola defy MB525) Well, deciding to upgrade from quarx's android 4.2 to 4.4 I went and gave the whole flashing method a try again but I made a mistake on a couple areas and I was stuck in bootloader or the motorola logo appearing on and off over and over. That was because my battery was near death or pretty much dead, so I used the mcgyver method to flash it while it was being charged which 'worked'. It did the usual 'SW update in progress' and the sbf flashed, but after the phone just went to a blank screen (as if it were off) and no longer turns on or goes anywhere. Holding the power button and/or pressing the volume buttons does nothing. I cannot access bootloader or recovery or even get the phone to display. If I connect my defy to my computer, the white led charge light comes on briefly then goes away when the cable is fully connected. Thats the only thing that makes me think my phone isn't totally broke but, I cannot flash anything with RSD Lite again, it does not detect my phone as pressing the 'start' button does nothing.
I even went and bought one of the universal battle chargers thinking my battery just needed to be charged, but even after a full charge the phone has been no different. I'm at a loss, Is my cable the issue? Is my defy just busted? I really need some advice...

Anyone have any ideas? I uploaded a video to youtube showing the problem I have a bit better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q25klbN9kWE
The same thing happens whether I have the battery inserted or no. Its very confusing.

Try to charge the battery with another defy or with an adapter, I think that has no charge

I already charged it with a universal charger (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002XY5F6A/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) But was no different. Wouldn't this have worked? It gave me the green LED (full charge) after I left it connected for a while

If mcgyver cable is made properly, and you can't enter bl, you may have bricked your device

I thought even if a defy is bricked you can at least get into bootloader. Can I unbrick it then?

You should be able to get into bl even then, but since you cannot, for some odd reason, there is no alternate method left
The brief white led glow seems to indicate a damaged bl, as when the internal eMMC is wiped completely

Motorola defy is not booting
Hi can any one help me on this.
I rooted my defy and upgraded to jelly bean. It was working fine for a year and after that I found issue. So I tried to upgrade to kitkat cwm11, however it didnt work. So, did a factory reset and when i tried upgrading again, it threw an error saying, unable to mount sd card and unable to clear cache and data. After this I couldnt clear any settings or upgrade anything. Tried with different SD card and it didnt work as well. Finally, phone is not booting and when I tried to go to recovery option it doesnt work, even default motorola recovery doesnt work. My phone is not detecting in computer as well. Phone stays dead on moto logo. Please tell me how to upgrade the phone.

Open a new thread

(Sorry double post) Wow, progress!!!
I tried the mcgyver method one last time and upon connecting the second usb cable I heard the windows chime that tells a new device has connected, but still nothing on screen. On a whim I launched RSD lite and tried flashing an SBF which did work! Halfway through the flashing process the screen came on giving me the 'SW Update in progress', though after the flash I'm back at bootloader, Did the flash work? I tried flashing another sbf but same deal, just back at bootloader. Is there a certain sbf I should use?? Please help if you can I'm getting there!
