OK, so I have a D2 that someone gave me. It was completely stock (not rooted), but had all of their stuff on it still so I decided to do a factory restore through the android menus. The process started and the phone got stuck at the "M" logo, I left it for a few hours, and never budged.
I can NOT get into recovery, holding "X" and power on battery or connected to USB does nothing, have tried about 50 or 60 times now.
I can get to the bootloader and flash a new sbf (tried 2.3.20, 2.2.20, and downgrading the bootloader to d2.35) aside from the d2.37 bootloader I don't know of any other sbf's to try untill the GB one leaks, and who knows when that will be. I am using RSD lite 4.9 on win 7 x64, and 2.3.20 does not error out, also it identifies the phone as "s flash omap..." something instead of A955 or droid.
Sorry for the lengthy post, any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I tried flashing the 2.3.20 sbf from an ubuntu live CD with no joy. I just don't understand, i'm not getting any errors with ADB, it completes just fine, so recovery should be there for me to go into. The better part of 2 days trying to figure this out now.
Just a quick question, is recovery included in 2.3.20 full sbf?
Try it on a different computer. That worked for me. S flash is OK. As long as it says connected, you're good. You need to sbf. As long as you can get into Bootloader (2. 37)you can sbf.

That was the next thing I was going to try, need to get an OS on my old laptop to try, I have been busy so I should get to that sometime before the weekend. Dug out an old OG Droid that had the same issue that I could never figure out too, and got a custom recovery flashed, but no success on the full SBF or restoring a backup. Hopefully it is just this PC that is not playing nicely.
Thanks for the suggestion.
You can't get into recovery after you SBF? Is that what you mean?

Exactly, it's like recovery is not there. Powering up while holding X does nothing, all I get is the "M" logo. I've let it sit and eat a whole battery just sitting on the "M". I will try to flash on another computer or two tonight and post my results.
Well I finally had time to try on another computer, and no luck. Used a freshly downloaded SBF, moto drivers and RSD Lite 4.8. Also I hadn't thought to check the logs before, and the FlashErrorLog has 4 errors, ERROR: AP Die ID, BP Die ID, AP Public ID and BP Public ID.
Everything went same as before, RSD completes with no errors. (well almost completes when I use my Motorola branded cord, stops at rebooting phone, and with my wifes LG branded cord, it reboots into the bootloader automatically, strange)
If anyone else has any ideas, I'm just at a complete loss here, willing to try something drastic at this point.
Having a similar problem, so hope you don't mind me piggybacking on your thread. I'm running 2.3.3 rooted on my D2, and I cannot boot into recovery either, but also can't get SBF to recognize my device on any computer. Any ideas?

How to flash your DEFY+ via RSD lite.
Prerequisites:
RSD lite v5.3.1 (or later); MotoDev USB drivers ( http://bit.ly/K59zlZ );
1.Goto recovery.
2. Do wipe cache
3. Do wipe data/factory reset
4. Take your battery out.
5. Hold down Volume Up and Power button and put the battery back in while holding the buttons - your phone will start in bootloader mode
6. Connect the phone which is now in the Bootloader mode to the PC
7. Start RSD lite and select the sbf file (it is recommended that you should put the file in root C:/ on your PC and rename it to something short (GB.sbf)
8. Click "Start"
9. You can see "SW Update in progress" on your phone's screen - the flashing is in process
10. The flashing process takes around 5 minutes, after which RSD lite will reboot your phone
11. Wait until RSD lite says "PASS!" and then you're free to disconnect your phone (*if RSD lite doesn't say "PASS!" after 2-3 minutes and your phone has booted up, you're still free to disconnect)
thanks alot buddy
but just wanted to ask that..im not getting my previous version of custom rom from the site..n the nandroid backup is also faulty..
so is it okay if i flash some other version via the rsd lite?
sorry but im kinda unknown about it...
thanks in advance
u will get indian sbf in the forum..search..flash it..
then start all the process again
I tried flashing a couple of sbf files on my Defy and I had no issues until I tried flashing the T-Mobile_MB525 file. It did everything on RSD and it said PASS. I can't turn it on. I can't access the boot load screen or the recovery screen. RSD won't show my phone. The only thing I see is a white light from the phone. I need help. I want to go back and flash the original stock rom on my T-Mobile USA Defy.
try post #4

Check the smg versions of the sbf you Fashed before that one. You will find the needed tools in the Sicky threats.
Could be you flashed one of a higher version before that.
Did you flash with low battery? Could be it was out of juice. But it said pass but I don't know if it means much. Does RDS recognize your phone?
Whenever I connected my Defy to my laptop a white light shows up.
The only sbfs I flashed were the jrdnem deblur the jordan sbf that's the one I use to go back to stock and the T-Mobie_MB525 is the sbf that messed up my phone.
My defy+ is in agony right now.
Some days ago my CM started misbehaving, losing its settings on reboot.
So I tried flashing another CM, with which I couldn't connect to 3G.
I switched to a Slim rom I had used before, but 3G didn't work either.
So I flashed some other kernel, but I guess I did something wrong, because it booted directly into the bootloader.
I installed the motorola drivers and RSD in some WinXP computer, and flashed "Android 2.3.5 Blur_Version.45.2.500.MB526.Personal.en.AR" from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=28
Now the screen wouldn't even show the bootloader text, and the charging LED wouldn't turn on when plugged to the wall, only when plugged to the computer.
Then I found some thread that said you could unbrick that kind of brick flashing some .sbf and some firmware file.
I had to McGyver the battery ("battery low, can't program" error) to flash those through RSD, but that didn't help.
Conclusion, my OS, kernel and firmware may need to be fixed, and RSD (I think) can recognize the phone and flash .sbf files,
but I don't know which one to try, and I don't want to screw it up even more.
Any help would be nice, I'll try to give more info if needed.
Hard Bricked Motorola Razr M xt907 with unlocked bootloader. After the flash official firmware 4.4.2 with RSD phone just died and is not turning on.
Bootloader has been opened. RSD sees it as QHsusb_dload. I have charged the battery on the other working board, but bricked board is not still responding to pressing buttons and does not enter in fastboot mode.
Can you help me please?
It's hard-bricked, there's nothing you can do right now. However, take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2934432 . They are working on a fix.
