Wizard won't start

Dear users,
My Wizard won't start.
Information:
- Stuck at bootloader
- Hard reset won't work
- Updating (at windows xp) won't work, as it stops at 99% (tried 3 roms, even the original from t-mobile). Giving a communication error and my wizard keeps rebooting.
When did this start? After using Button_rom 1.5, it stopped at 99% =)
Anyone that can help me?
Thank you

Mostly,Communication errors are due to weak or drained battery,get it fully charged.
Secondly,get the phone in Bootloaders (RGB) screen and hook it up with pc via usb cable and watch small usb appear at the bottom of the Bootloader,if its there,then reflash the official rom,if its not there,then its a connectivity problem.Either the usb cable is faulty or the mini usb port of the phone.You can even try by changing and plugging the usb cable in another pc usb port.
BTW, remove any sdcard or minisd inserted in the phone before flashing.

Thank you,
My phone had problems recently. It won't start without power cable. And it suddenly shutdowns as I am playing games or listening to music.
It allways hangs at 99%, and with the original ROM it hangs at 80% and also gives the error. It just reboots =(
Ive powered the phone up the all night, after that I tried to flash a rom, but it gave me the exact error at 99%.

i CAN't connect it with my pc and rsd lite can't detect my phone when i plugged it in!
also, i can't charge it via PC nor the power supply(i have tried using moto's one and a unofficial power supply)

Have you tried the boot loader mode (forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy):

How to get rsdlite to recognise a phone that won't boot
You flashed, something happened, now screen is black, phone doesn't react, u are in a boot loop, rsdlite cant recognize the phone. you're right here.
To get RSDLIte to recognize your phone you have to enter boot loader mode. this means press VOL-UP + POWER If nothing helps, try pushing VOL UP before!' you put the battery in (RSDLIte should be running and awaiting a new connection at that time) If you are using Windows 7, try seting RSDLite to "compatibility mode: Windows XP SP3".

i have tested the connection in bootmenu and RSDLITE not able to recognize my phone
any ideas?

Hello
Please somebody help me. My notebook doesn't recognise my DEFY via USB. More details: When I got the phone it worked but after a while not always. Sometimes it connected 5 minutes later but nowadays doesn't work at all. By the power charger it's charging normally.
When it's plugged to the computer, the phone's screen lights up, but doesn't connect or charge. If I tick on/off meanwhile the USB debug, the USB sign shows up but it's still not charging or connecting. (I've already tried all 4 options)
Moreover when I remove the USB cable, the USB signal doesn't disappear until I restart the phone or abort the USB in the application manager.
I've already tried to install or uninstall the driver (Moto Helper) but didn't help.
The main problem is that if I connect the phone to the notebook, the device manager doesn't see it. (I tried different computers, Win XP and Win 7)
I did a factory reset several times but nothing happened.
I think there was an automatic software update and maybe the problem started at this time.
This is my first Android phone and I'm not an expert so I really need your help.
I wanted to install a new ROM but the RSD lite doesn't see the phone neither in Bootloader mode. It says: "Connect USB Data Cable" and when I connect it says: "USB" so recognises something.
I'm trying to fix it for weeks but I can't find to solution.
System version: 34.177.3.MB525.Retail.en.GB
Build no: JOREM_U3_3.4.2_177-3
Win7 x64
Sorry about my English and thank you for your help.

I didn't mean bootmenu tommy, BOOTLOADER MODDE: press VOL-UP + POWER, try pushing VOL UP before! to get RSDLIte to recognize your phone(RSDLIte should be running and awaiting a new connection at that time)

Hey poross, I guess that your problem seems like a virus activity or maybe a faulty USB cable. Try another USB cable and another PC (with a good antivirus running, indeed!). Before connecting to the new PC, reset your defy...
I just hope it helps. If not, maybe your defy has a hardware problem...

If you are using windows 7 make sure that you installed good drivers for system x86/x64. I'm using RSD on Windows 7 X64 and I have no problems with it. Check in device manager for some unknown devices after plug phone to USB. If system wont see any new device after plugging it wont be driver problem but something wrong with phone, usb cable or usb port. Even if driver fails system should see the phone like unknown device or something.

actually,i am in bootloader(versoin 9.10) and rsdlite still not able to detect my phone =..=
but i notice that when i plugged it in,the phone showed "transfer mode USB"
but nothing happened in rsdlite,no info of device properties.....
what the hell.....

To tommy:
Let's make a conclusion:
1-You have the correct drivers but RSDLite doesn't recognize your phone even in the bootloader mode
2-The charger can't charge your battery
3-The portable battery CAN charge it! (So the phone connector has no problem)
So: It is most likely that you've got a faulty usb cable

Thanks for dealing with my problem
Chamelleon: The device manager doesn't see anything while the cable is plugged but the phone detects something -probably the USB power- but doesn't connect at all. It happpens in the bootloader mode as well so detects the USB cable but it seems that the phone doesn't send sign to the computer. I haven't had any problem with USB detection, connection (except this phone) for a long time.
MMarv: You mean there's a virus on the phone? if it's the situation, installing a virusbuster to the phone could solve it? Which one is a good prog?

I tried with 3 different cables and still not working. With the wall plug charger and the car's USB socket are ok but none of them charges from the notebook.

I mean Virus on your laptop. Hard reset your phone and try another PC with a good anti-virus installed!

So if cable is ok, usb port in pc and phone is ok it must be driver problem. Delete all what appears as Motorola driver including drivers from system32 and then install it again. You can also try to install it on different PC with 32 bit system. Do not install any unknown drivers, just install Motorola Media Link or Motorola Software Update cause if you have this one and some different it can be problem. Or you just have something wrong with system. First try on different pc with drivers from MML or MSU.

Succeeded.
The solution was incredibly simple. It was strange when I did a factory reset (4 times) and rebooted the phone it restored my acccounts, shortcuts, settings. I ticked off two things: settings/Privacy/Back up my data and Automatic restore. Then took out battery then I put it back and began the reset. After it the phone forgot really everything of my details and now the USB is working perfectly.

not working for me =..=
however,i have 2ndinit installed
and after factory reset,the phone is still rooted and 2ndinit still here
so will it cause any problem?

Hey Tommy,
I nearly bricked my defy, and the battery was low too. RSDite not able to recognize it. It seemed that charger can't charge the battery either. But I was wrong. The charger was actually charging the battery. I removed the back cover with the charger connected and the battery in place. I tested the two outer connectors of the battery with a voltmeter (when the battery is in place, they are slightly exposed). Initially the voltage was about 3 volts and steadily increased... Test it if you can. If it is not charging, I bet that it is a phone connector problem. You should return it and I think they can repair it easily...

Hi Tommy1994
First I'm not an expert, this is my first android phone.
My probelm was (I think) an android error. I made factory reset 4 times but it always restored my details. (It's not a perfect FR). After it I did a bit different FR:
-1. in the normal android/ settings menu/Privacy/Back up my data -thick off. So it won't make any backup
-2. swich off the phone
-3. take the battery out for 30sec then put back
-4. press the volume down and hold it while you press the power on button but hold the volume down for more 4 sec. you will see an android robot with an exclamation mark.
-5. press the volume up and down together that's how you enter to the Recovery menu.
-6. first chose the "Wipe cache partition" (you can move with the volume buttons and select with the power button) -wait till "Cache wipe complete"
-7. then chose the "Wipe data/factory reset" - wait till "Data wipe complete"
-8. after these chose the "Reboot system now"
-9. if your phone doesn't want to start just get the battery out for 30sec and take back.
note: you will lose everything of your personal details, installed apps...
note2: it's my FROYO's (android 2.2.2) menu probably yours is different
Sorry for my English, hope you understand though.

hope this helps
If your are trying to connect on windows vista or 7 I think you must be loged on as admin of the computer. I had same problem but when I used windows XP it worked fine this is for rsd lite

going to try ,i really hope it will help
thx

i have flashed cm7 and still not able to connect it to PC
i am quite sure it is not software problem, maybe it is about the USB cable?
is that possible the USB cable can charge but not able to transfer data?

hi tommy1994 ,
i'm having the same problem as you, when i'm in the bootloader screen the rds lite program don't find my defy...
have you found any solution?
Thank you very much

Phone charging when usb unplugged (4.4.2)

Flashed the KitKat like everyone did and now my computer does not detect my phone... And phone shows that it's being charged even after i plug out my usb cable... :'(
I have reflashed the firmware multiple times...
(EDIT)
I did flashed the 4.4 bootloader ... My phone did not boot without flashing the boot loader... I'm now certain that something is wrong with my firmware... Because odin detects my phone pretty well...
- I have few problems now my phone does not detect when i plug it in the usb wall plug , means doesn't show that it is charging
- Or it shows that the device is charging even when the usb is not connected...
- PC does not recognize it

[Q] Phone auto restarts when connected to pc

Hello! I have a major problem. After flashing back to stock, my phone suddenly cannot connect to the pc at all. Once I plug in the cable the phone auto restarts and is stuck in a bootloop until I remove the cable. It also doesn't charge if connected to the charger. Any ideas on how to fix this?

More info regarding this case. Phone is an lg d802 32gb model. Reverted to stock from cloudyg3 rom. Right now I cannot access download mode as the phone auto restarts once I plug it in the pc. Tried with 2 diff pcs but the same problem.

hmmm

Try changing the usb cable.

Hi, I tried 3 diff cables but it still has the problem. Also, I think the cables are not the problem as those cables do work for my other phone (both in charging and connecting to pc). This is a really weird issue. Anyone else experience this?

I have the same problem, phone restarts when connect to pc, if you connect and disconnect several times the usb cable, sometimes it works, you can try this to access your phone, turn it off, connect usb cable, and the power off, sometimes it work for me, also to charge the phone.
Anyway if someone can help us.
Thank you.

Try another cable and/or usb port.
Try accessing using Windows Drive Management if not already.
Check Windows Event Viewer for error messages.
