download a stock rom, enter bootloader mode by pressing up-button and power while turning on the phone, connect it to your pc (make sure you have RSD Lite on your pc) and flash... your flipout will look like new

Hey Sunil!
It is Up Arrow key on d-pad and powerup key, it should take you to a black screen with white characters.
Try RSD 5.6 and be patient.

The X takes you to recovery and up arrow key to the bootloader

Defy with hard brick

Hello, I defy this with hard brick
what can I do? sbf've tried but all I use no longer has the motorola logo appeared, after flashing the screen is just black ...
I tried flashing with Linux without success ... I can not enter the mode recevery
have some way to go with Linux defy the recovery?
Can u enter Bootloader ?
if yes use the tool sbf_flash to flash a froyo sbf...
u need to wipe data after flashing sbf or it will bootloop
Check your battery charge and i think if RSD lite detects ur phone, then u can surely flash. u must able to see the moto logo..use some sbf s which u should flash after ur phone becomes dead!!...
If ur phone's battery is down, i think u should follow some dangerous method...i m not able to recall that method...but check "android development " section..u l find it
And dont try flashing a lower version sbf..u l get into trouble....use the version u had before ur phone became dead....try deleting ur cache/user data before flashing a new sbf........
If you can enter the bootloader then you're saved.

Your Defy is not bricked.
Use RDS lite and load any SBF that is convinient for you.
Then use keys vol down and power -> when you see "!" mark press simultinuosly vol down + vol up --> clean data and reboot.
After reboot you'll be able to enter the system you loaded by RDS lite.
Than use Gingerbreak and Sndinit and you can enter the bootloader.
Good luck.
I have used several sbf, except 2.3. I defy CM7 and was given this problem, I can not remember why it is time ...
Now I spend sbf and he did not react, when it finishes and says he is restarting rsd, the defy not only erases and resets after a few seconds the rsd lite appears PASS
I can only access the bootloader, the recovery can not
have you resolved your problem? iam in the same boat... sbf flashing has left me with a flatline... black screen...
noo man
guys, I managed to get into recovery mode, I wipe and data cache, but does not solve anything, it crashes when it appears the logo of motorola flashing 'Blur'
used JORDN_U3_97.21.51
try to get the right software
1- RSD lite V5.3.1
2- Motorola drivers
3- JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTNORD_P003_A001_HWp3_Service1FF

Help with my Defy!!

Hello,
Today when I was upgrading my Defy to the Android 2.2 using the RSD Lite, I forgot to put him in the Recovery Mode and I did the upgrade anyway.
Now, my cell don't turn on in any way! I use the "Vol Up + Power / Vol Down + Power" and nothing happens. The RSD Lite show me the device but I can't do anything. I tried to flash other ROMs but nothing happens.
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
If you can get your phone detected by RSD lite then try flashing a proper rom....and it should start...also make sure you have enough battery on your defy...
And what rom are you trying to flash....also after flashing the new rom you must again go to the Stock Recovery (Power + Vol Down and then when you see the android icon press both volume buttons at once) and clear the cache and dalvik cache...
Also if you run out of batter...there is a post in xda somewhere to create a cable to charge up your battery directly outside...
Its really hard to brick your defy....and it will start again...do let me know if it worked for you...
Thanks

Is that the same problem?
Sent from my MB526
try rebooting in stock recovery (UpVol + Power), when the warning sign shows up, press both vol keys (up + down) at the same time, wipe data / cache, reboot again. It should boot now.

I bricked my Defy + maybe

I can't reinstall my defy+: in RSD Lite i installed in boot mode the stock rom, but don't reboot, i can't power on, charging is good ( white LED is light up), but nothing else.
One short push in the Power button: Power on and black screen ( + connected to the computer, i hear the USB plugged sound), one short push in the Power button: Power off ( Usb Plugged out).
In first time, i'm do the RSD Lite flashing in Bootloader , after than, no bootloeader, just a black screen.
So, i think, i'm stucked in Bootloader mode.
( In RSD Lite: if i push shortly the power button: connected, and i push once again the power button shortly: i can't see in the list in RSD Lite)
I try so many SBF file, but i can't find the right one.
I need help please :'(
I found an SBF file: if i use this, the bootloader and boot animation is get back.
But no android OS.
Problem solved. Defy + back in life.
