Just wiped and reset my Bravo and now it is in an endless boot loop. Tried to use RSD lite to load the sbf but the drivers are not working. RSD lite does not recognize my device.

Go to stock recovery by pressing power+volume down, then press both volumes buttons and wipe data/cache.
If you want to flash your phone with RSD Lite, you have to turn on your phone pressing power+volume up, then you will be in bootloader mode, then connect the phone to the PC via USB and flash the SBF.
The stock recovery doesn't work for some reason it was giving me an error. Can't get into the bootloader mode because the battery won't charge. I'm getting the question mark battery icon whenever I go to charge the phone and the bootloader says the battery is too low.
I actuality cheated the too low battery can't charge part. I took an old charger of mine and cut off the end. I then took the neg and pos ends and taped them to the battery so they made contact with the batt. NOT each other. Then I put the battery into the phone and held it there until RSD loded my sbf and then had a party. Took me like 3 hours to think of it. Anyway, after it loaded I undid everything and put the battery back in and plugged in the charger and charged it to %100. FYI Always start with a fully charged battery. BTW on most chargers the wire that is rough or has lines is negitive i belive. I am not responsable for anything you do to your phone resulting from this post.

if you dont wanna cut your OEM charger , you can buy a battery charger that charges battery only , they are really like 3 bucks free shipping off ebay, sometimes you can buy a high capacity battery and a charger combo for like 12 bucks
i hope everything works out for you
i just found this how to solve your battery problem

Summery: Cut end off any USB cable. Connect red to + on battery, Black to -. Insert into phone. Plug other end into a) computer b) wall plug and then boot into bootloader. Plug standard USB cable into phone and then computer. Flash correct SBF file with your choice of RSD Lite. Done.
Did I miss anything?
Oh and I posted in the Defy forum and was tossed out for comparing it to the Bravo. Touchy guys overthere.

If you can connect it to the battery only, it will be less dangerous for your phone.
It could charge something, walter79 did it with his defy!
--------------------------------------
DEFY owners dont know that defy has a little brother which needs lot of attention, because it has the same potential.
True true but I was in a hurry. Worked anyway. After reading I did look at the charger that I used and it does only put out 3.8v at 875Ma so it's so close at being the same power as the battery it'self that I don't think the phone knew any better. Oh well the what if's and shouldi've's of the world.
And yes the Bravo is Defy's little brother but only in parts....... Kinda a more 2nd cousion looked over at family gatherings and get's the crap parts of the Thanksgiving turkey, (Sniff, sniff, tear).
So I fixed the battery problem but now I have some other problems. When I try to do the volume down power android recovery to try to update.zip. When I do this I get an error 7 meaning that I probably don't have a stock app installed from what I've read. Then I tried to do the RSD lite install and the only RSD lite I can get to recognize my phone is 3.9. I've tried 4.5.7, 4.9, and 5.0. Each of these can't recognize my phone when I plug it in. When I try to run 3.9 I get a can't find INI error. Please HELP!
Umm, real quick do you have MotoHelper installed?
Yup motohelper is installed and my computer recognizes the flash device. RSD lite 3.9 detects my phone but fails to install the sbf and no other RSD has been able to detect my phone.
Used a different computer with windows 7 32-bit and a newer version of RSD Lite and on the first try it installed the sbf!
Hi
I was gonna sell my old milestone2, so i decided to install the old Firmware (it was on CM) via rsd lite...
I pluged the phone in Bootloader mode and flashed it...
after flash i unpluged and it was... dead...
it wont turn on... and when i plug it to charge no led goes on.. even the one next to micro usb port...
can i still recover it?
thanks.
Do a full wipe in stock recovery.
Should fix your problem.
1. After you plug in USB cable, does PC recognize OMAP Flash device? In some cases screen stays black, but PC recognizes the phone, and you'll be able to flash sbf again. Remember not to flash an older bootloader ROM - it won't go (if you have an European 2.3.4 GB, you won't boot Froyo after flash, if you have Latin America 2.3.6 GB, you won't boot European GB nor Froyo).
2. Is your battery charged? If it's completely dried, you'll have to charge it before flash, either with an external charger, or with live +5V and GND wires from cut off USB cable (as someone described earlier).
I am Using Lenovo A6000 and when its run lollipop OS it has no issue with charging but when i downgrade and install Stock Rom Kitkat 4.4. version, it automatic power on when connect wall charger or usb cable for charging purpose. Not able to charge it as power off status. Any solution for that? please help what have to do?
Hey guys the title says it all. I bought a used s6 edge plus, turns out that the phone is not being recognized by windows. Nor is the charger charging with fast charge, instead it says USB charging. Help me out please
Flash twrp and flash a custom ROM. My phone didn't charge at all via USB port on stock nougat. I flashed a note 5 ROM ported to my device and now its fine.
Hello!
The phone stops charging couple days ago.
Before that it's suddenly switch off and not charge, and I thought the battery is dead. But after long charge its turned on again. Now when Android is booted, there is no charging and no seen by PC in ADB or MTP modes.
But if I power phone off, charging is back again, but slower than usual.
Flash Tool is also work, I tried to flash two times, the flashing was successful and without any changes about charging when its on
And when phone in fastboot mode, it says "cable NOT connected", however recovery flashing is OK.
Then i found
Code:
Charger exist but USB is host
Message in the boot log.
Don't know how to deal with this USB state. And no matter cable connected or not while booting. I use original USB cable from phone's package.
How to fix that? Is it software or hardware issue? I'm confused.
PS. Sorry for my bad English.
