Guys, I got a(nother) problem.
Yesterday, I was able to flash CM9 on my Defy+. Everything worked fine, had signal, wifi, camera, etc. When the battery was at 20% I put it in the charger. An hour later I wanted to install some apps, so I stopped charging, and when I did that, my Defy+ rebooted.
Only it did not boot correctly, it gives the motorola logo for about 5 seconds, then gives a screen with a question mark in an empty battery. I can't do antything after that. When it is at that state, there's a red LED constantly on (at the top of my defy+) and the 4 android buttons stay light up.
When I take it out of the charger, it goes dead.
When I plug it in the PC, nothing happens, except a white LED is constantly on (at the top of my Defy+)
I can still go into recovery (pressing volume down when booting+blue led).
I can also go into (another recovery?): holding volume down, then turning my defy on.
I hope you guys can help me, this is really annoying me
(Also, does these things happen with custom roms often? Cause if so I will switch back to stock ASAP)

Which build have you used, buddy?
This is the one I used and the battery was charging and everything completely normally:
http://quarx2k.ru/cm9-nightly-defy+/
Those are the only CM9 builds that are REALLY for the DEFY+, since Quarx has recently got his hands on a DEFY+ himself.
P.S. I have never had that problem with any ROM I've tried. I've even used some ROM's for normal DEFY for some time, even thought they couldn't charge the battery over 90%.
MB525
The same was happen with me. But my Defy is MB525
I have installed the kernel froyo, and cm9 Quarx for defy. I used for a little time and put on charger. After this I see M logo for 5 sec and my phone will not turn
When I connect USB cable, the device is not recognized and sometimes don't turn on the white LED.
I charged the battery on universal charger and not solved my problem
Sorry my bad english. I'm brazilian, thanks.
Battery error
I have the same issue, after successful flash my Motorola Defy to CM9 next day phone died.
it gives the motorola logo for about 5 seconds, then gives a screen with a question mark in an empty battery. I can go to recovery mode only when usb cable is plug in.
Does anyone know what should be done?
I was able to flash one more time CM9 but it hasn't helped.
Is the problem solved? i got same one and dont know what to do wit it
I had the problem running quarxs defy+ build on a regular defy. I flashed the battery fix for defy from recovery and it solved the problem.

I flashed the battery fix solved the problem me too, thanx the suggestion
Bought a 16 GB Wifi Samsyng Galaxy 10.1 Tablet from a friend. Not rooted. Was working fine until I upgraded to the stock 3.2 from Samsung. Now, it won't boot unless it's pugged into the wall charger. The battery says its at 100%, but it goes immediately off when I unplug it. It won't boot at all....not even into recovery unless it's plugged in. The computer wont recognize it when using the USB cord and it won't do anything.
Can the software do weird things to the battery? What do I do? I can use the wall charger, boot into recovery, wipe data and factory reset....then setup my google account and it works fine....until I unplug it. Then it goes black immediately.
I'm not a noob, (several Android phones, all rooted and custom Roms flashed...thx XDA).......but I'm stumped on this one.
Pease help.
Try going back to 3.1 and see if it goes away, or try a Custom Rom. Task14 is very stable and reliable to test with
as long as you can turn it on, you are safe. Like above said, install Task14 rom!!

Thanks for the suggestions....but since I can't get the tablet to do anything while it's connected to the computer, how do I get the tablet rooted or even get the 3.1 or a custom Rom onto the tablet?
I plugged it in again last night (with wall charger)....it showed the battery as 100%....then it vibrated and the screen faded (as it's supposed to do). It won't turn on when you press the power button only.....not even if I hold it down to force a reboot. So I have to boot it up by using the power button and the down volume key combo. From there, I wiped the cache, and did a factory reset. (all this time it's plugged into the wall charger) Then when it rebooted and I was able to set it up with the Wifi, Google account, market access, etc. I even played a game and went to You Tube and watched a couple videos just to make sure it was working. Everything was working perfect (as long as it's plugged in to the wall charger). I left it alone for several hours to see if the battery was just reporting 100% but in fact was NOT at 100%. The screen went black, but would come back on when pushing the power button quickly (as it's supposed to do) So I left it like that overnight. This entire time the battery was reporting 100%.
This morning, I quickly tapped the power button and it came back up (still plugged in). Working great. As soon as I unplug it from the wall, it went black and now it won't do anything.
It won't boot or do anything using the USB cord and the computer. How do I get the new ROM or old stock 3.1 onto the dang thing if I can't get it connected?
This thing is frustrating me.
hi guys!
it's been a while i'm flashing roms and roms on my defy+.. yesterday i tryed quarx cm9 and it was amazing! like i said in the thread the only problem i had was about the battery indicator.. it showed always 100%.. i wiped battery stats, chace, dalvik, reboot and nothing changed.
then in the night my defy died like always.. but now i can't charge it!!! if i connect it on normal charger i get white led and then the battery icon full screen with a "?" inside.. if i plug it in my pc i get white led..
after one night "charging" i managed to boot up, and it shows 5%.. and it's not charging even if it's plugged in!!! the cable is working, i've already tested it..
i tryed to flash an other rom, but i'm not sure it's a good idea, because even if it's plugged in, i open the recovery mode and after few minutes dies again...
if i try to go to the bootloader it says:low battery, cannot program.
what should i do???
thanks guys!!!
solved..
today i'll go to some electronic shop trying to find a table charger or a already charged battery.. and in the worst case i'll try mcguyver..
Hi,
at the moment I am on holiday in Spain and my Defy [Green Lens CM9 Build 0613 (I think)] has broken, my battery died and i plugged it in to recharge but I got no LED, I know the charger works as it works for my mums phone and it has worked in the past for my Defy, i have plugged it in to macbook and got white LED after 1 minute but it doesn't charge, phone doesn't turn on either, my power button is really stiff (ebay purchase) and I cannot get it to turn on, do i need a battery ficx for CM9 if so, where to get it. Will I need to boot McGuyver to get into CWM and flash it? or is my Defy bricked? I'm only 13 so I don't really want to buy a new phone as I got it for my Birhtday only 4 months ago (my dad will be annoyed) so will anyone help, I'm an experienced 'computerer' and I could flash an SBF if I have to but that will be really annoying.
Thanks,
Will

Do you ever see anything on the screen? You won't have to flash any battery fixes or anything ever if you have a green lense
Nice to see some other youth on XDA

Thanks for the reply,
But I cannot get my phone to power on at all, I thought to flash SBF I had to get into the RSD mode (whatever its called) by holding up vol and power, but it doesn't turn on. Also if I can manage it, do you know what the best SBF to flash would be (green lens DEFY, originally from T-Mobile (soft unlocked))
Thanks
Will
Right, so I have got home from my Holiday and when I got in I plugged my phone in to the charger, it did not power on, but the LED flashed white constantly with 1-2 second delays between each flash . Does anyone know what this means, do you think my phone will be saveable, should I just plug it in to RSD lite and see if it detects it, not doing anything tomorrow so I can work on it all day to rescue it.
Cheers,
Will
Made a recap Here.
Hope it helps.
For an sbf, chose a deblur (less setup time to go to a custom rom).
my motorola defy is dead

Plug your phone onto charger & press
Vol. up and then power button
Can you tell me what happens ?
MB525 red lense
HELP!!!!
I'm in the sa me situation . Anti news????
I had my defy look like a complete brick: Neither the screen nor LED would come on. The thing looked as bricked as it can. But I started it with power button + vol up, (no indication from the device what so ever that it came on). hooked it up to the computer and RSDlite was able to find it. then I was able to flash a different SBF.
hope it helps.
So, do you mean to ignore the blank screen???
bricked dyfy plus

I seriously need help as I cant afford to spend a penny on my phone...
Use the mcgyver hack. Search for it on Google.

Hiho,
go to the problem:
I changed the original rom to CyanogenMod (NIGHTLY EUROSKANK [21/12/12]). used one month, until one day I was playing, and the battery was low, so I left him there, went to sleep. I woke up, and he was discharged and placed in wall charger, and went to watch. some hours later, I tried to turn on, and nothing happened, I thought I plugged the charger in the wrong way, I put to charge again, and noticed that out instead of white LED appears, was the red led. Loading left for some hours, I turn on and nothing happened .. (@! #! @ # $) And then plugged in the USB, and lit the white LED, and could not access it.
I did the MacGyver method, to bootloader battery, and did SBF flash:
" JDGC_U6_2.12.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA039.0R_JORDANGCCORE_P013_A033_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf ", was all right for some time, when I put it to charge and lit the red light again, and then pulled the plug, and he hung up. and is now well. and no more MacGyver mode solves the bootloader
Please help
Sorry for the horrible english, I'm using google translate.:silly:
And also the huge text (I would explain how it happened)
can someone help?

Hi,
Sorry but in case you don't know, when the phone is discharged (under 7 or 10%) and when we plug it, it's normal to have red led. But you must have the "battery charging animation" with percentage when it charges... When it's charged enough (above 7 or 10 %) you can turn on the phone (power button long press).
Your battery could be dead, yes... But :
How old is your battery ?
Have you checked your wall charger ?
Is your USB cable charges your battery ?
Is your battery charges well with your original SBF (without CM) ?
If you know someone else who owns a Defy, you could test with his battery and his wall charger....
Your USB connector could be damaged....
Need some more informations to help you....

the cell completed one year this month (January / 13). I know that when the led is red because it is very low on battery. But let Loading 4 hours +. and when I connect to the computer it does not charge. it only illuminates the white LED, and can not connect or power on. anyway, the exchange led to suppose that shows the usb part is okay. I've used various chargers.
I can not run the SBF, why he does not recognize.
The phone is not turning on. apparently only led.

Try another battery... Your system could be corrupted, I mean, it seems your phone can't charge in 0-7 % step, so it will never boot... Dunno why, it could be an issue even if I don't really think so... But, to save your phone it's the better thing you can do. Couldn't you borrow someone's Defy battery ? A friend ? A shop ? Then you could test !

Are you sure you can't do any of these two steps (3 or 4) of the "bricked defy Step by Step Walkthrough" thread ??
Even the 4th ?
[...
3.First shutdown your phone, hold the Vol down and boot the phone up keeping the volume down pressed. you should come up to a triangle android logo, press the vol up and down key and then tap the screen ( this is a touch screen gui), choose the wipe data/cache and press ok, this should take up to 5 minutes.
4. Now, shut down the phone (pull the battery out and return it back in), Hold the Vol Up button and power up your phone.
you will enter the Bootloader (or BL as its called in the forums) and you should see the phone stating that (usually 9.10 version)
...]
If not, even with a charged battery, I 'm afraid your defy has a hardware issue...
Is your power button still alive ?

Power it on, when connected to wall charger. sometimes starts, sometimes they're showing is charging (the battery symbol with percentage in the middle). but I just pull it off. ie power on it, just in wall charger.
if a hardware problem it would not mind at all. (I think)
