Hi,
I have Motorola Defy Plus,I had read that it is possible to update android from gingerbread 2.3.6 to jelly bean 4.2.2. So I decided to update my defy plus.I root my defy plus with sinit_2.3.apk
After rooting I able to go to bootloader where I first backup my phone.Then I wipe data to factory reset and then wipe cache.Then I install the zip file for jelly bean 4.2.2 and google apps from my sd card.
Then after rebooting,Now my phone is updated to jelly bean 4.2.2 . I m very happy.
But after some time I noticed that it is possible to call outgoing calls but its not possible to receive incoming calls.When anyone call me it says the user is busy.
So I decided to restore my defy plus to the original position
But when I reboot my phone and when blue led is blinked then I press vol. down key then enter to bootloader but it is different
When I press restore it is not showing that file which was I had Backup earlier.
Then I press Motorola stock recovery but a triangle type figure is appear and a android logo is appear in the middle of that triangle and my phone is stuck on that logo.
Then I pull my phone battery out and then in battery to the phone and restart.
Re-enter the bootloader, from the bootloader then wipe data to factory reset and wipe cache.
Now connect my phone to pc via usb cable. After that I choose option “mass storage……..dangerous” from that ,
Removable disk is appear in pc when I click ,it says format fist.Then I format it.now able to open it.Now I m copying my backup file that I was created to my sd card but suddenly my phone battery is low and my phone switch off.
After hard work to recharge my battery with external charger,I connect my battery to the phone which is fully charged.But now my phone is not starting up,I have neither see Motorola logo nor any bootloader screen
I already press vol. up + power button but nothing happened.I read that install Motorola device manager driver for usb and RSD Lite & Stock recovery file SBF File.
Then open RSD Lite, Now select that SBF File.Now connect your phone to pc via usb cable now RSD Lite shows phone is connected.I also seen that video on the You Tube.
But for me it is not working.When I connect my phone to pc via usb cable there is no status shown in RSD Lite that phone is connected.
My phone is not starting up now.
When I connect my phone to pc a White led is blinked once for a second then goes off…
What I do.Please Help Me!!!!!

Davinder Singh

Hey Thanx for your Reply
Yes I already Installed Motorola Device Manager 2.4.3
But nothing works!!!!!!!!
Please explain me in details.....Because I m new in Android world
Unfortunately your device is permanently bricked because you formatted eMMC from your computer, wiping the boot loader

This is even possible? I didn't know, I thought Defy was unbrickable due to 2ndBoot.

I thought that too ;o.
Did you try to put it into download mode ? (Power button + UP) , in the moto stock recovery if you don't see nothing , press the search button or VOL+ and VOL- at the same time.
Hold vol. up button an press power button....
If you can arrive a black screen
which shows a text with "battery OK
Ready to program"everything is prefect....
If not , you have formatted the internal disk this like you delete bios on an PC...........
Maybe repairable with an factory usb cable & the right software....

But it is right i think i exactly wipe my phone bios
But there is nothing to do now????
now my phone will not be alive again.......
What is factory usb cable...
Can you tell me where i buy the Factory USB Cable?????
It doesn't matter which cable you are using (you can buy it from amazon/ebay , it depends from where are you from..) , if you can put the phone in download mode ( POWER BUTTON + VOL UP ) , your phone is saved . If not.. Maybe you can try to a gsm repair shop.
Maybe this can help

If you can't connect to USB in any way you bricked your defy....
Im sorry for you
The only thing, you can do, is to find anyone who can flash data to your emmc without using standard USB connection....
Maybe a mobile repair shop (for Motorola) could do this .
But I'm don't think so
Report back if you have found some...

heei guys .
half a year before I bought the zte blade, and so far it worked well.
but suddenly it stops working ..
whenever I try my cell phone goes immediately to start the red "back" button on (bright red) and then there's the green robot android, then the blue zte intro and then it all over again ..
I have not changed my zte (clockwork, rom)
I know myself well not so good ..
would be really nice if someone could help me ..
I do not know what to do ..!!!
or is it maybe bricked ?!
thanks ..
Its not bricked as it still boots up.
When exactly does the phone crash - when you make a call, start an app, or just automatically reboots?
Did you install a new app just before this started happening?
Is the phone rooted?
Are you sure the battery is ok? Try starting phone with charger plugged in.
ouh ..
yes when i switch the phone on the android boot logo cames then the (blue) zte intro .. and then the zte intro comes again and again ...
noo ..
aahm ? i dont do anything with the pc and the zte ..
so i think i dont root it or something ..
one time there was "ftm" on the screen (after it had this problem).. but i didnt know what this is ..
thank you in front off !!!
but i didnt came anymore to the homescreen , or lock screen
Try booting into recovery and clear the cache? I remember my old G1 did the same thing, and after clearing the system cache it worked.
To boot into recovery i think you keep hold of volume down when turning the device on.
If that doesn't work you could wipe the device, but you'll loose everything on it then.

The issue you have is this, the rom that has been flashed to the phone is for Gen 2, but the phone is still set on Gen 1.
You'll need to boot into recovery and perform a restore, or flash Ginger stir Fry Rom, then the phone will work.
sent using tapatalk
Solutions depend on
-- whether or not u have custom recovery installed ,
-- whether or not fastboot is enabled in your device. (It isn't enabled only in stock gen2 firmware)
-- whether or not u have rooted and made changes to system partition.
Possible solutions
-- If u have custom recovery installed then format (= wipe data/factory reset) the device from the recovery.
Power off the device. Then by holding volume down power on the device. This takes u into custom recovery menu if it is installed. If custom recovery isn't installed this takes you to FTM MODE.
-- If u have fastboot enabled then use this method to format ur device. Power off the device. Then hold volume up and power on the device. Here the device should stay at green android logo forever if fastboot is enabled. This is fastboot mode. Now install zte USB drivers in PC and connect phone in fastboot mode to PC. It will install the software. Now in device manager u shouldn't see any android named devices with yellow unrecognised format. Then use fastboot windows tools from command prompt. The command to format tthe device is
fastboot erase userdata
-- if the above processes didn't work then using tpt is recommended way. U can flash complete low level device firmware using tpt. U can flash either a recovery alone to hard reset. Or u can flash a complete rom. On bit searching at modaco u will get more information regarding everything.

THANK YOU !!
but i dont understand that things .. ?!
can you explain me your answer for people do not understand much of it ?
Download gen1 to gen2 (there is a download link in this section) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1258855
Unzip the file and place the image ( the image is called image, not gen1 to gen2) on the root of your sd card (ideally it is best to do this on a pc)
Also download and place the Rom you wish to use on the root of your SD card (cyanogenMod 7.1.0 stable release works well) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297776
DO NOT UNZIP THE ROM at this stage.
Put the SD card back into the phone.
Power off the phone, hold menu & vol + (up) & power at the same time, you should see some green writing, wait until it is finished (well done your phone is now gen2)
You should now arrive at the clockwork recovery screen, if not power off the phone, then hold vol - (down) and power (together), clockwork will boot.
Now using clockwork recovery, clear data/factory reset, then install your rom from the zip, that is all there is to it, obviously you'll have to enter your login details to use the market and sync your contacts etc, but your phone should now be working.
Don't forget to make a nandroid backup.
Goodluck

Hi everybody
I have Motorola Defy, but after I plug in the usb cable to defy and PC , rsd lite 4.9, 53.1. or 5.5 doesnt recognize my device..
After plug in it shows only white led and nothing more, nothing at all...
I tried every method , but unsuccessfull...
Everytime i try tu plug in, it just shows white led, nothing more, screen is black, and PC doesnt recognize it at all...
What should I do to unbrick it ???
Pls help, I'm desperate ... Thank you
PS: I tryed every method, I searched almost everywhere
When you plug it in first make sure battery full charge then load rsd lite and under settings change it to first come first serve. I had same issue and this worked.

Have you tried my suggestion.. I had same issue.. black screen with white lite.. you need to have full battery then plug the phone in and run rsd lite with settings on first come first serve..
if
your phone does load with a full charge then hold volume up and power button to get into the bootloader menu.. after than then plug into rsd lite..
to make things easy let us know what happens after you put a batter with full charge on it.. then we can go from there..
yes , I have full battery, I set the rds lite to option firt-come-first-serve, but nothing happend
I can't get into bootloader, I can't power the phone up, I can't get into mode... Nothing
Still the same probem, still not solved, Any idea what could be with it ??

try these steps..
take phone battery out and wait few seconds..
then put batter back in and hold volume up and power button for few seconds.. let go of power button and then let go of volume up button..
your phone screen will still be black and no light will be lit up..
then connect usb cable to phone then to pc.. after that you load up RSD lite with the setting of first come first serve.. you should see a line in middle of window that says.. "connected" at this point your phone might display white light ..it sometimes doesn't but as long as rsd lite shows connected your fine.. at this point you should be able to run sbf files
The defy doesn't even power up when I push the power button

I tried McGyver hack, phone was connected, I did flash 2.51.1 UK version non carries, but nothing did,
On screen was:
SW update
In progrees
at RSD was Phone is being rebooted and PASS, but nothing on phone screen
Defy is working againg, but I was at the service
so using the MacGyver hack method enabled your computer to see your phone again?
I have the same problem (flashed wrong rom, phone bricked with just a black screen, flashed the same wrong rom again hoping for a different result, still bricked, read up on what was going wrong, came back the next day and my computer (including RSD Lite) could no longer see my Moto Defy. Next step i'm either going to have to (1)borrow another Moto Defy battery that is guaranteed fully charged (i have no way to check the amount of charge in mine while my Defy is out of action) or (2)cut up a USB cable and do the MacGyver hack.
1. Make sure your battery is charged.
2. Make sure you've all the latest drivers from Motorola's Website installed.
3. Make sure your RSD Lite version is atleast 4.9. I use v5 and had no problems till now.
4. Boot into bootloader mode.
5. Flash
If it doesn't work:
Try MacGyver hack.
In case you don't know what it is, search here in xda forums. You'll find it.
Update your drivers and do the same as above

Option 3 is to buy a cheap standalone wall charger for the Defy battery off eBay, like this one, to keep your battery charged between attempts to flash the phone. Gotta be less risky than the McGyver hack.
Not sure if the standalone wall charger will work, seems to me that the phone doesn't actually recognise the battery, however I have no means to test this and it's just a guess.
If it does actually detect your battery level but just can't charge it then what you listed is fine.
hope for defy with only white led light turning on. This assumes that you have already have mototola drivers and RSD lite installed.
Background : I only had defy one day when I decided to flash it with miui. I bricked on the first time with bootloops. Did research and got drivers and rsd lite. managed to find three stock t mobile roms and flashed to stock Tom, then flashed miui, since then I've been switching between miui and cm7.
Problem : After a few months of use, I decided to flash stock rom to see how the battery life would be like. Bricked it the first time with bootloops. I thought I had flashed it with wrong rom because the first time I flashed back to original rom I did not delete the roms that I thought were the original roms. So after first failure I tried to flashed with the other roms I had. after the third rom it would not go into bootloader, only white led would turn on. Tried macguiver, did not work so save your usb cable, don't mess with it ain't gonna work.
Two part solution: I realized that when I plugged phone with usb I would hear the usb tone on win 7. When to device manager and saw the other device or something like that was appearing and disappearing when I would connect and disconnect phone. I clicked it and it said Motorola device or something like that, it was sensing my defy! defy drivers were wipe out due to bad flash. I had mototola drivers so I clicked on update and searched for mototola drivers on hard drive. I had rsd lite on and it recognized the defy after driver update, even though the bootloader screen was not on and just the white led was on.
decided to flash rom that have me bootloop and it flashed it but still gave me a bootloop., by the way, the update part of bootloader showed up after a while.
Second part of solution: Please Google defy stock rom!!! googled problem and found out that the phone has a stock recovery. its the robot with the triangle exclamation mark. when you get to it you have to touch the extreme lower right hand corner of the screen to get to where you can wipe data and cache. when you start wiping data / cache you have to press on ok?? on lower left hand of the screen repeatedly until wipe is complete. then reboot and tada it boots up to stock tmo USA defy.
this is the stock rom I used : JORDN_U3_6.36.0
F Y I
if you ever try to flash a rom and it just bootloops, just go into stock recovery and wipe data and cache and you should be able to boot into android.

You post is too large(in terms of fonts) to read...it hurt my eyes!!
anyways, about the issue, I guess your phone's battery in not charged. Please make sure to charge the battery using the charger and once it done then boot your phone and when you see blue LED blinking press both volume keys together... this will make your phone to boot into boot menu....now do a data/cache wipe and reboot....
However, if this does not helps then you will be required to flash with the SBF. refer to Defy Developement section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537.

I'm sure you are are able to boot into the boot loader.
Follow below mentioned steps:
To Flash full SBFs, here is the standard procedure:
1. Open RSD Lite: Click on [ … ] Button and select your .SBF (Remember to rename to a short name and put it on root of your PC) and click Open.
2. Boot your phone into Bootloader Mode (check last section if you don’t know how to do it).
3. Now connect your Defy to your PC
4. The START button on RSD Lite should be available now, click and wait.

Same issue, can't use RSD if you can't first get to the bootloader. Read a thread about using a stripped USB cable to hotwire the battery to get power to flash with RSD, but can't figure out how to link in mobile app.

Press both volume buttons on the screen with the android and exclamation mark. That'll take you to stock recovery where you need to wipe data and factory reset.
If you have to flash the sbf again, try using sbf_flash on Linux. It'll flash in times where RSD won't recognize your phone.
Linux Live\sbf_flash tut
sbf_flash binary is in attachments
Only use Defy 2nd-init for recovery
(and once its installed, steal /system/bootmenu/* and /system/bin/bootmenu from Defy CM9 from June 5th on up -- touch bootmenu is pretty awesome; replacing the bootmenu isn’t for the feint of heart.)

I dual boot between the two
If you have a blank cd and a usb drive\sdcard you can just use a Linux Live environment -- you never install Linux at all -- and you can use sbf_flash from there.
RSD Lite version that works and tutorial
And since it hasn't been mentioned yet, holding volume up + power on boot access the boot recovery to flash sbf's. Just make sure you have at least 50% battery before flashing or you might get an actual brick.
What your dealing with is nothing more than a recovery screw up. I had the same problem last night installing touch recovery -- it wiped /bootmenu/ instead of installing to it. Solution is to flash sbf, reboot, wipe data/factory reset from stock recovery, reboot, eebluroffee at first screen, root, enable non market apps, Defy 2nd init flash something that's better than stock.
ok i install the motorola usb drivers and start up rsd lite but it does not regocogize my phone
yes i have it in bootloader mode
Did you install everything before plugging phone in?
Try uninstalling everything motorola related and reinstalling just the drivers....On a previous Win7 install nothing was recognized, but on a reinstall of the entire system it worked fine and still does. I still recommend the Linux way over RSD because it will flash your phone regardless, provided you can access the loader.
I still haven't gotten native tethering to work with Windows, but then again, I quit trying sometime around December or January.

This is for all those people who are having trouble flashing with RSDlite in Vista & WIndows 7.
If I am right, RSD lite does not seem to recognize the sbf file after you select it and instead the "start" button remains grayed out.
If that's the case, here the solution:
I had a similar problem and sucessfully used the command line parameters for RSDlite to force a flash. I managed to get a signed/unsigned firmware installed.
You need to copy the firmware you want to flash into the RSDlite directory in your program files folder.
Make sure you are in bootloader mode first.
Then, open command prompt and "cd" to the RSDlite directory
eg:
> cd C:\
> cd Program Files
> cd motorola
> cd RSDlite
>
now for the flashing type:
> SDL.exe -f xxxx.sbf -t 2
where xxxx.sbf is the firmware you are flashing to the phone.
flashing will begin shortly afterwards.
It worked for me, but in the end, show FAIL STATUS.

I dual boot between the two
If you have a blank cd and a usb drive\sdcard you can just use a Linux Live environment -- you never install Linux at all -- and you can use sbf_flash from there.
RSD Lite version that works and tutorial
And since it hasn't been mentioned yet, holding volume up + power on boot access the boot recovery to flash sbf's. Just make sure you have at least 50% battery before flashing or you might get an actual brick.
What your dealing with is nothing more than a recovery screw up. I had the same problem last night installing touch recovery -- it wiped /bootmenu/ instead of installing to it. Solution is to flash sbf, reboot, wipe data/factory reset from stock recovery, reboot, eebluroffee at first screen, root, enable non market apps, Defy 2nd init flash something that's better than stock.

hard bricked my phone
hello. i'm looking for any help to this issue: i believe i hard bricked my bravo somehow. it was running one of the first MIUI rom for two or more years. but became slow and laggy thru last months. and the other day it just freezed while i was browsing the call log. no reaction to the pover button at all, had to take out the battery. now it gives no reaction to any combination of button presses ( power; vol up + power ; vol down + power), the only signal what see is white LED light when į connect the phone to the PC. When phone is connected to the pc freshly, and when i press Vol down + Power, Windows 7 releases "clink" sound and device manager tries to show that "Motorola USB Device" is connected, but quickly disapears with another Windows sound. RDS lite 5,0 doesnt recognize phone too.
Is there any chance to bring this phone alive? any advise will be appreciated.
p.s. english isn't my native. sorry for the mistakes

Not sure if this will help since I did not watch the video myself, but a quick Google search gave me a video describing how to take a Motorola USB cable and modify it to unbrick a phone. I did not watch the video yet so I don't know how relevant it is to your problem. But just by looking at the video preview it looks like the difficulty level may be pretty high... Here is the link:

Do you have the appropriate drivers installed on your pc for rsd? You have to be able to flash an sbf, a failed Cm update flash won't brick your Defy, it's much harder to brick it...

lexer98: Yes I tried it... It is same.
bone101: I can not enter to any recovery.
sa3e1: Yes, I have all drivers.
I try the other.
Turn off defy, then hold power and vol+ button for 5-10 sec, when you release the buttons, your phone will power up in Stock bootloader. Does it work until this point?

When I do that, on screen show: Battery Low - Cannot program.
But all is OK because I bought universal charger and now I'm charing battery..:cyclops:
Next I flash correct SBF file via RSD Lite. Is it ok?
And the phone isn't charging when it's off?? I hope it will be ok after charging battery with external charger! Then go to stock bootloader and flash a stock sbf, or if you want to go straight to CM10 try Easy Recovery sbf:

Done
Hurray....
My Defy is working now....
Thanks for your help.
I did it as follows: I chared my battery with universal charger. Then I went to stock bootloader (power+volume up) and conected my phone to PC. After it I flash two SBF files* via RSD Lite. Then I went to recovery and wiped all. Now my phone working well....
* first: Froyo_CEE_2.2.2.zip
second: CM7RC1.5_16_09_11_custom.sbf
(I will upload this files to some File Hosting and I'll post here links)

Why 2?
Only 1 is enough
Also AICS that is older version of CM7…
Flash froyo and root it...
Install 2ndInit and using cwm install CM10
If you screw up...I am not responsible!
