I really need help ..my defy wouldn't boot so i tried flashing it with 2.2(not knowing that it can't be done with 2.3.6) so now i have 2 problems,the fact that i can't downgrade and the led problem.
What should i do next? i am desperate
My phone is visible though in Rsd lite.
I know i did mistakes but i only use Android for a week.
Update: i flashed it using rsd lite and 4.5.1-134_DFP-188,it seems to work good.
I was using cm10 2nd boot builds 18.10.. then i installed multiboot and my phone was not booting after moto symbol.. so i flashed india froyo sbf.. then it started to get bootloop in android bootscreen.. after tht i flashed china sbf but tht also got bootloop in bootscreen so i went bck to india froyo sbf and rsd lite showed finished.. then my phone stopped booting.. but rsd lite can detect when put on the comp.. Plz help!!
Please do a little searching before creating new threads. Virtually everything you need to know is right here: Is your DEFY/DEFY+ bricked??.
So, i updated the software a few weeks ago from 2.2.2 to 4.1.1 , all went well , it was a complete succes. Today i wanted to go back to 2.2.2 . I downloaded RSD Lite 4.9 and a SBF file, I entered Bootloader menu and tryed to downgrade , but i got some errors and the phone got stuck in bootloader menu . I thought it was from the SBF , and i tryed another file and the update failed and the phone shut down . And now i dont know what to do , i'm kind of desperate . And when i plug it in the PC the white LED turns on , when it is charging in the wallcharger the LED doesent turn on . I tryed different ways to turn it on ... and with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideeas ??

Reflash another SBF... did you try flashing an éclair sbf by mistake?
What was your BL?
Try one of the BL5 froyo sbfs... Nordic seems to be rather popular... check the BL version before you flash, try out BL 5, but I'd suggest you think twice and ask for more help before flashing a BL6 sbf.

Ya BL is 9.10 for all, bit there's (sub) versions of it like CG4 ,CG5 CG6 & CG7. So most people just say BL6 BL7 etc. That's what I meant.
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+) )
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.

Use an external charger or another phone to fully charge your battery and then plug it in and RSDLite will detect it.

Hi, I am in a similar situation that my defy wont boot up (no screen activity) after I flashed the official Froyo ( Ver 4). The problem is that i bought it second hand and some miui rom (gingerbread) was installed in it with second init active with prerooted. I wanted official Froyo, dont know what was the highest version installed in it. Later tried to install the Nordic Froyo SBF, it didn't help either.
I have another defy on the same miui built (which is working normally and used for charging the dead defys battery), dont know what to do with the soft-bricked one. Which sbf to flash to make it work again.

exactly the same situation here. Someone pls come up with a solution I don't want to believe that the phone is now useless by a software problem there must be a solution
Have you tried charging through external battery charger or the mcgyver method?

Flashing a bl6 sbf helped out. The sbf I used was dfp-125. Made my defy into defy plus though and only after that it booted. Can root and install secondinit on it for further flashing. Once you get to the red motor logo after flashing, you might have to wipe data cache from stock recovery.
Hope this helps.

Make a downgrade on defy results: Brick your device!
1st attempt: Plug in the PC and wait a green led (means your battery it´s above 80% charged)... Be patient!!!
2nd attempt: You must to have/do one "factory cable"(searchable in CM´s foruns) to charge the battery. To be recognized by the RSD Lite you need to keep the "factory cable" to do a downgrade.
