My Motorola Defy goes dead after flashing.
-No Recovery
-No bootlaoder
But when i connect it with RSD, white led turns on and RSD connect it.
I try 3 different ROMs for Flashing but nothing has been changed.
When pressing vol down and power not going into recovery.
When Pressing Vol Up and power not showing black screen with white Text for bootloader.
-After flashing 3 Roms, RSD shows status PASSED and phone Reboots but not turn ON.
-Battery charged with Universal Charger
I installed these roms:
>JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA028.0R_ USAJORDANRTGB_P026_A007_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf

I think I got the answer for you......
Use below mentioned steps and share the outcome:
1. Download the compressed SBF and extract using any software like 7zip or something - http://www.mediafire.com/?s3uc8cb782w1oue
[Note: Do not use any download manager while downloading.]
2. Use RSD Lite to flash the phone with the SBF file;
3. After flashing let the phone boot up and hopefully it will resolve the issue.
However if the phone is still in boot loops then try entering Stock recovery and wipe data/format and wipe cache also.
Please use the above steps and share the outcome.
ok i will download it and try it, but what i think is that, T Mobile is creating problem and i read some where there is only one SBF which work for T Mobile. Dont know for USA or UK. Mine cell is from UK.
Hopefully the link which you send helps me..
But the link you send for sbf is not down gradable. Can it create more problem for me if i install it and same black screen problem appears. And not rootable i think so how would i root it and move to custom rom,

I recommend DON'T flash that SBF! Why? : Its a chinese and has the potential to fry your LED! And since it is not downgradable and rootable you may get stuck!(See this. From what I have seen in few threads there is a big chance your battery is dead and not charged!!
okay, if battery is dead why RSD connect it and every time status passed message appears.
PLz tell me what to do

I understand your concern and I appreciate your comment however, I would like to point this out that this firmware is for "India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam" and its safe to flash I have flashed it multiple times and its Rootable and even my flash is healthy.
You may visit this link and Control+F "JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1":
http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
The chinese firmware which is suspicious of burning flash is "China - JDGC_U6_0.26.0" [Correct me if I'm wrong.]

You may use this firmware or any different firmware from this link : http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy
The ROM which I have given you link is Rootable however not down-gradable.
You may refer this extract from All-in-one-Guide-for-Defy
SBFs
SBF is how Motorola packs all the information to be Flashed on your phone. Inside this package are a lot of other files, each of these files named with CGXX where XX is a number.
So when you Flash a Full SBF, it takes the phone memory, format it, create the partitions and then copy the information inside these partitions. Each partition corresponds to a CGXX file. Here is where the eFuse thing kicks in.
There are a couple of CG files containing the version number of the Android you are flashing. So let’s say you are on Éclair Stock, first version, no updates no nothing. This version has a Version 1 number. When the phone gets updated, this version changes to Version 2 for example.
Each Android version has each own ID, once you go up, you CAN NOT go back, and this version is in CG31 AND CG39 files inside the SBF.
FIXED SBFs
Is a modified SBF without the CG31 and CG39 files, thus allowing to move between Android Versions freely.
Since the Fixed SBF creates all partitions but /System (CG39) and CDT (CG31), we need to copy System data using a Nandroid Backup or the phone will probably not work using the existing /System.
Nandroid Backup
This is just a .zip file flasheable with a Custom Recovery, this will Delete/Copy all the files in the /System and other partitions (depending on the Nandroid) without formatting or remaking the partition thus not modifying the system layout, eFuse or stuff; this is almost harmless, meaning you CANT brick your phone doing it, though you can make Android not boot and a new SBF or Nandroid would need to be installed.
CG Versions
With that explained let’s get to business with versions:
CG Version 2: SBF 2.21 / 2.34 / Chinese (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) (Defy)
CG Version 5: SBF 4.5.0 / 4.5.1 (Gingerbread) (Defy)
CG Version 6: SBF 4.5.1 (Gingerbread, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
CG Version 7: SBF 4.5.1 (Latests Gingerbreads, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
ATTENTION: This CG 7 Version is NOT rooteable. You wont be able to flash a lower version ROM nor Root to use CWM.
If you try to flash a lower ID version than the one already on your phone, you will just get a Black screen after booting or a screen telling you to flash an official rom.
So, with this in mind, you can now hop between Android versions without screwing up your phone.
If you have an Éclair Defy and would like to keep the ability to downgrade to it, you should ONLY install FIXED SBFs of the Android Version you want to install, and then use the corresponding Nandroid Backup for that Fixed SBF.
Official SBFs
Here is a list of all the OFFICIAL SBFs, meaning they come with ALL CGs, these SBFs put your phone like Motorola sold it to you, just need to keep in mind that going UP in versions with FULL SBFS <WONT> I repeat, <WONT> allow you to go back to an older version.
Knowing this you should be able to test every single Android version out there and being able to go to Stock without issues. Just be sure to understand how CG versioning works and you should be fine.

The only thing which is important here will be to use a Froyo or newer version SBF.
Thanks Rajneeshgadge17
JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1 is working...
thanks you for your precious time.....
Defy is seems okay now and will tell you if i found any bug in this JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-33-1.
I think i flashed every time with eclair and that was the main problem. First time flashed with froyo and black screen gone.
Thanks again and plz tell to root this rom is as easy like what i did with orignal froyo.
I did it with Super one click and than use 2ndint and moved to custom rom.
plz tell should i follow all those steps for rooting and for custom rom, or there is something new to be done for this flashed Rom.
Thanksssssss ,, i am so happy now

---------- Post added at 09:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------
One important thing for your information is the reason behind those black screens was that you must have flashed Froyo SBF before; which was not down-gradable and now at this point you were trying Éclair which resulted in this issue.
So, the Downgradibility of your previous flashed SBF was causing this issue.
Now, as you have flashed this Froyo SBF; so, now onward in case you need to flash you phone you need to use SBF which should be Froyo or newer and must have “3.4.3” or later Build Numbers.
Hope this helps someone who needs this information.
okay
one bug found, market is still not updated to play store, and when i try to download it says download paused . i cleared both data and cache of market but still not downloading and stuck at paused.

Lol 2GB internal memory occupied
Yesterday night I flashed with MotoGinger III for a change... so far so good. However, AutoWifi fix is resetting my wifi pwd every 15 mins or so ..
Occupied :/ now how to free that, miui occupied or rom flash occupied it. Internal storage is now just 15 mb left. How to use this defy now
But I used miui before flash, at that time I haven't experienced any low storage problem.

Blur_Version.45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03 (2012/01/12)
when the process was complete i was so happy that i fixed my defy but i actually made it worse
now i was not able to root not able to install bootmenu or any thing else this all has happened just last weekend
first i accepted it and thought its better this way

Bad update, flash a froyo sbf from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
I recommend you stay on froyo so you can install CM7 too
If this doesn't fix it (make sure its right sbf for your type of defy) Then its probably a radio fault that needs repair, but as it worked before it should be fine, its just a bad update, hope this helps

That's strange I never got any Spanish instructions :O try the latest version from the thread I provided, and read this noob guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982 Thanks to these two threads I did what I thought was impossible, flashed froyo and then CM7 on the same day, its not as hard as it seems just follow steps carefully and its easy! Any more questions feel free to ask, you don't need to send your phone learn it yourself its worth it

So, your phone is simlocked and when you flashed a different SBF, you have deleted the files that have (probably) previously been installed to unlock it. There are some custom ROM's out there that can simunlock Defy (one of them is MS2Ginger4.0). If you don't know what you're doing and can not handle it yourself, I could flash a custom, simunlocking ROM for you if you don't mind shipping it to Bulgaria and back (I assume you are in the UK).
P.S. There is also a chance that your sim card slot is busted and it can't read the SIM card.

Well i followed the tutorials and tried to install the sbf software and RSD lite said all ok (finished) now i cant switch the phone on :crying: nothing happens now if i reconnect it via usb nothing/nill/nada!!.....It's a pity as i did quite like the phone but i think its time to toss it into the bin
This is the SBF file i installed JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA028.0R_USAJORDANRTGB_P026_A007_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz
If you flashed a froyo SBF last, you must flash at this time also a froyo SBF.
The Flash of an eclair SBF will end in a black screen, cause froyo SBF are CG4 (Bootloader 4) and eclair SBF are CG3 (Bootloader 3).
The Bootloader must be equal or higher then the last SBF you flashed.
Try this SBF:

its the tmobile froyo SBF Britain.

You WHAT!? Are you sure it didn't just go flat after flashing? My defy can be quite stubborn to boot if it goes dead, general rule is if rsdlite can still recognise it flashing it again should sort it out

Like the others said, don't bin it, it ain't dead! You just flashed a lower CGXX.smg version ROM, which ends in a black screen. Press and hold Vol+ and then Pwr button, till you get into Bootloader mode, then connect it to RSD Lite and flash CEE Froyo (JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002_DEBLUR_)
If you have TeamViewer and a webcam (as I need to see what's going on on the phone, not just on the PC), I could try to help from a distance
This guy is the best, listen to him he helped me improve my mic problem

Hi i cant get it into boot-loader i have tried but its just dead
i can get teamviewer but i dont have a web cam
i flashed a Defy + rom/sbf (DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_CN_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B50AA009.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRIRD15_P015_A030_Service1FF)on my Defy .I realised that i should not have done that while going through some of the posts here . However i dont want to make more mistakes and hence seeking advice from experts here . Everuthing seems to be working fine except for the camera. I was able to root using a solution that i found on the net and after installing recovery using 2init i tried to install MIUI 2.3.7 . Everything went fine but after the installation from SD was completed and i tried to reeboot my phone it gave me a boot loader error ...something like Err : A5,35,70....
Experts what are the options that i have to go back to the stock rom ( i have a nandroid back up as well as a defy sbf) or anyother custom rom so that i get everything working in my phone ?
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your help Gaushim.....but that is the same thread that i was refering to . I could not get any success beyond step 4 (i.e after flashing the sbf the phone just displays a black screen.)
andr0idfreak is right that method works for bl6 and not bl7......just hoping that someone here on the forum knows a way out....
if you have a green lense defy nothing can be done to fix your camera. however you can root your phone and install some custom roms (search on here for bl7 custom roms and there is a list somewhere).
to flash the rooted sbf follow the guide below. once rooted you can then install 2nd init and flash a rom. i use cm7 euro kang. i have a red lense defy and flashed a bl7 sbf...my battery doesnt charge and isnt recognized in any rom no matter which fix i flash. the only way i can charge it is through an external charger cos the usb charging doesnt work. not the best solution but i have two batteries and just swicth them around when one dies.
thread for rooted bl7 sbf is here

If you are rooted with Custom [ twrp,Cwm , what ever ] recoveries then you will not be able to do an OTA update . You will either get stuck in boot loop or recovery loop .

man just install twrp recovery and flash stock rom. then re-install your stock recovery, should get you fixed. don't forget to remove root also before making the OTA update.
