[HELP NEEDED] Dead Defy... - Defy General

Ran into a wall while trying out the new froyo ROMs...
Stock: 2.51 SEA version (i'm in Malaysia)
- Successfully restored VanillaFroyo. Camera flash cant be fixed.
- Wanted to try Higgsy's RC2. RSD'd China 2.2, process finished, but phone didnt reboot. No 'M', just a black screen with the white LED lit when US?B connected.
- RSD can see the phone but nothing on phone screen. Power+up vol and Power+down vol doesnt work.
- Tried mmty, USB not detected, activesync off. No joy there...
Any ideas before i send it back to the shop?

you may try flash with this sbf.. sorry i cant post link..

as long as in RSD lite 4.9 and your phone connected with one single press on power button, i think u could revive your phone.

The same problem has been addressed at least 8times with hundreds of users. But i will reiterate. "Your battery is dead", so please use the McGyver trick to give it a jump and then flash with RSD only if does not boot again.
Warning: Always make sure your battery is close to 100% while flashing roms and do not leave phone in bootloader or recovery for a long time.

ok thanks will try the suggestions from the other threads..

Its not a batterry issuue man,,,,,i sploiled my one data cable for mcgyver without success.....just download the sbf from link below and flash,,...

Defy stucks on white LED / RSD detects nothing

Hi,
I'm a proud owner of the Motorola Defys and was happy until yesterday :-(
I have already read much in the forum and everything about the Defy.
My problem has already tried a post by someone :
1. Jan. 2011 ... As always, I close with my laptop to Defy the load on - but nothing happened. Only a white LED is on permanently.
Its similar in my case:
- Defy flashed with RSD (UK U3 2.1)
- RSD showed: Finished,
...but the
- Defy is not booting anymore
- LED light is white
- RSD does not recognize my Defy
- Charge the battery: Defy did not respond
- :-(
I'm desperate .. and hope to find some answears here...
Best Regards
ditto except mine actually goes through the boot pic and then loops. If I try to boot to USB cable restore (Volume up+boot) =white light. : (
hi there,
I had this after upgrading to the UK 2.5.1 and then wanting to run a 2.34 build.
If you plug the usb cable into the phone while rsdlite is active, the table below should say connected. Simply reflash the full version of 2.5.1 again and it works fine. There is then a method on the forum about gaining root access on 2.5.1. This worked fine for me and i am now running the clean 2.34 blurless rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894650 and this is superb and highly recommended.
As long as you get connected in rsdlite, dont worry your phone isnt bricked and you should have it up and running in no time at all!.
If you get really stuck, i can quite easily get mine into the "state" yours is and do a little video or document the steps for you if that helps.
Andy
ja, that means you have less voltage then you need to boot.
send it back or reload the battery, no chance of getting it up with no bootloader
*edit* me post is not related to andy fletcher, but to you two.
if ye connect the cable to load the battery, does there appear a sign of a batt with a questionmark in it?
First of all: Unplug the phone and power it off. Now hold the [Volume up] button while powering on the phone. Now you get to the bootloader. If it says battery ok, connect the USB cable and go nuts, RSD Lite will detect the phone when it's in the bootloader.
If it says "Battery Low, Cannot program", you can either send it in, hoping they'll just replace it without figuring out you have been rooting and flashing the phone. Or you can do what I did here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10264115 - Just take your time and pay attention to what your'e doing and you'll be fine
RSD cann not connect the Defy
hi Guys ...thank you for your answears...
no I can not start in bootloader ... defy is probably elsewhere ... No Booting No Recovery .. no boot loader ... only the white LED on USB
The Defy ich fully charged...and i tried to turn off take of tthe battery ...hard reset
nothings works :-(
I think i have to send it to Motorola :-(
Best Regrads
Have you tried the USB jumpercable solution?

Mine acted like the battery had collapsed, reporting "Battery Low, cannot program" after 12 straight hours of charging, but after the usb jumplead trick, the battery has been just fine. I suspect that the problem was in the phone the whole time and being force-fed 5 volts snapped it out of it. Be sure to post what happens when using another battery!
Many thanks to Sorensiim!! wow it worked! I have used the battery of my friend who is also a Defy owner ....
the problem was the black screen ..
I could not see that the Defy was hanging and my battery was too low indeed... .... I had to continue to work with screen black and start the boot loader (Volume up and power on) and then the RSD has also finally recognized my Defy.... I'm going to flash the CleanJitDeodexd2.34CE and keep you informed. .. hopefully l finally also my market will work ......
thanks to all the nice guys discussed with me my problem... i am proud to be a member here ...thanks guys!!!

Glad it worked for you, keep us posted
I got mine stuck on white led also, this was because of a mid rom flash interrupt (the cable got pulled out, dont ask who did it cuz i dunno)
Nothing i do makes the phone work, RSD did recognise my phone the first 2 times with white led and i tried to flash a rom but after it said "pass" the result was the same .. no image no bootloader just white led when phone is connected to pc.
Hi everybody. I also have the same problem like astearon. I tried the jumper cable solution but no result: rsd lite don't recognize my defy, i can flash it but it don't reboot after flash, just black screen.
Thanks to people which will help me!
(sorry for my english!)
try some other versions, preferably downgradable, try your original one
I had the same problem after flashing a higher version then noticed it is not supposed to be flashed on the original version my defy was on.

so how come you can flash your phone with RSD Lite, if it doesn't recognize your phone ??
Hi All,
I am also having the same problem i.e., white led and RSD lite is able to recognize my defy. Tried to flash Defy_2_2_CN.sbf rom. Not sure what to do.
Appreciate if any one can suggest me something.
Thanks
Listen everybody!!
You DO NOT have to use the jumpercable method thingy..
You just have to buy an AC power supply and charge your defy...
It will light up after some minutes!!!
Sometimes when the battery is COMPLETELY low (empty) you cannot charge by plugging your phone to the PC over PC, only the white LED lights up..
But if you charge it by the AC power supply IT WILL CHARGE!!
From my own experience.

AC power supply what you mean by that?
is it the wall charger that come with the box (charger+usb cable) ?? or like a built in wall charger like the normal one??

[Q] Defy is dead on flashing

Hi,
I was flashing the UK Sbf on a unbricked phone using RSD Lite 4.9. During the flashing process, suddenly phone turned off and disconnected with RSD Lite displayed a message "Failed, Device disconnected error".
I actually had 40% battery b4 starting the process. is it the low-battery problem?? Now, I am not able to do anything with the phone. When I have plugged in for charging, it says nothing. Is it dead?? But, when I have connected to the USB, a white small light comes on the top.
How to get my phone back? My phone is from Honk kong and i have rooted it as well.
Would u please guide me if we can do something??
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Naga
Charge your battery in another phone or in an universal charger and try to flash once again. Or you can repeat flashing procedure on another PC.

Don't worry.
If the white led brights on the phone, it is possibly charging.
If not, read the following thread, there's the solution:

Well, thanks for the quick repsponse guys... I try this... Hope, it works...
I have tried it... no luck.... But, I am a bit sure I have connected those wires properly n mounted the battery..... I got this mobile from Honk-kong.. I was actually flashing a UK Firmware (SBF)... Does it matter?? I did not wipe or any resets prior to flashing.. I have successfully rooted the mobile after Hard trails... thought of flashing it to froyo... But, mistakenly did this... )..... It went well till 73% and suddenly disconnected error and phone turned off with a white light on the top..
Any other way other than sending it to Motorola support... And I am in Dubai now.. this mobile is still not available here... so no local support from Motorola end. I have to pack it to either UK or HK...
Any trails???
Many thanks in advance.....
What .sbf are you flashing? The 2.34 or 2.5.1?

Can you start it in flash mode or recovery mode?
(vol up + power or vol down + power)
Hi, I am not sure of this as I have downloaded too many files for rooting, froyo upgrade and other stuffs.. But the file name is "UK_rom.sbf" and size 370MB+. are there any consequences??

Ok, go here http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy and download an sbf, I use 2.5.1, however once you flash it you cannot downgrade it,,, There is owever a lot of develpment more recently for it, im running a smooth froyo on it now.
Anways, pick one, extract that file to your RSD folder.
Open your RSD lite
Pull the battery from your phone, wait a few seconds, put it in, and boot into bootloader (vol up and power).
Plug the phone in, as long as the white light comes on you should be good...
select your new sbf file and hit start on RSD, you should work..
Now depending on what you had prior, your only option may be to flash 2.5 which is what I had to do.. Again, Id rather have a phone that turns on then complain about not being able to downgrade..
Let me know
good luck from my side
hint: never used a file called "UK_rom.sbf" - little unspecific ;===)
-nevermind- good luck once again, hope you bring it back to work!
Well, mobile it self is not turning on... It is a strange issue.. And fortunately, It has been launched here a 3 days ago in UAE.. I went to a store to check if the issue with the battery.. I have replaced and tested it out.. No luck.. I did not c the % of the charging. May be Bootloader requires more charging than normal powering... Anyways, I am decided to submit it to Motorola here, they must help us out...
Thanks everyone here for the wonderful support.... love XDA.... keep u posted as soon as it is fixed.... Many thanks again....
I deserve a beer for this!!!
Did the same goof up....got greedy for froyo and couldn't resist f&(*ing my defy........was cribbing for 8 hours while figuring out the solution.... escaped office for this.....but finally finally .......i saved it.......man.....if blood is the answer for blooood....then it has to be 2.51 for 2.51....

maybe someone can give me advices? no chance here so far to get it recognized in rsd lite.
thanks - appreciate any help,
but i got the really bad feeling that i've bricked my phone - OMFG guys.

just flashed the chinese 2.2 with RSD lite, all went well, RSD gave a "pass" result to the flash And now the phone will not turn on, no lights or anything. Charge light doesn't even come on when plugged in, if i press power when it is connected to charger, the led flashed white once and nothing else. I had 3/4 full charge when I began, don't see how the battery could have drained out, but I will try charging externally
Also I was coming from T-mobile Eclair 2.1
ok, so my first flash I used a flie I downloaded labled 2.2CN_SBF.sbf
So I reconnected the phone to RSDlite, and it showed the device was connected, I downloaded the Chinese.SBF from Higgsy's page and still nothing but a dead phone, its definetaly not the battery if its connecting to RSDlite and letting my flash, and reflash. Maybe I will try going back to stock 2.1 sbf
make sure your set to first-Come-first serve Deviceid mode in rsd lite config
I've tried flashing the orignal offical UK SBF, and a Lite Chinese 2.2, nothing screen is black, can not get into recovery, phone stays in bootloader but has black screen although says SW upate when flashing

I already experienced this. It's a big no-no to flash the Chinese SBF if you're coming from 2.51. After flashing the SBF through RSD, the phone won't boot up. It's a good thing that my phone is under warranty and so i got a new replacement

Was forced to flash the leaked froyo tmobile signed SBF. Forgot that this Defy wasn't the orignal, my wife had it replaced due to Earpiece failure, so the replacement must have had the OTA already, cause i never installed it. Oh well its her damn phone anyways LOL
Just curious how would you check next time to see if its 2.51
So to sum up CrazyVII, You have to flash the Froyo Leaked SBF with the signed keys, otherwise you will never finish the bootloader flash.
Just connected to RSD and make sure its set to First cum first serve, and hit the power button on the phone, screen won't light, and my led didn't either, but it should safe connected in slot one of devices.
Start Flash, and wait to see the "M" , RSD will let you know when to restart the phone.
Hopefully they figure out how to make this downgradeable, I perseonally Have a G2, but I really enjoyed Rooting, and deblurring my wifes phone, its a nice device

thanks for summing up,
u mean the chineese froyo release is something like the 3.4.?.? version? im going to search for it right now
maybe anyone can supply a link?
the problem is, i tried nearly evey combination, the phone doesnt recognized by rsd lite.best proposal would be - battery out - in - vol up + power - wait .... rsd lite doesnt do anything.
so very hard to flash.
do i need to apply the mcgyver trick, or is it useless....?
edit: why can't the phone load while off? i just understand the logic behind this behaviour...
best reagrsds thx,
cV
phone really dead.
guys, tried mcgyver trick....
white light goes on on usb connect directly... dont know why, but nothing worked. first come first served mode enabled in rsd lite.
rsdlite running the whole time. nothing connects, nothing realized.
direct boot (only power button), power + volup button, everything. no result.
the strange thing, in the meantime i saw someone posting, he flashed the whole thing(as in the description, 1st post) on 2.51 and on his phone everything worked fine.
no idea. but i think mine is really gone now. i think ill send it to my reseller tomorrow. im not quite sure if i can stay with such a situation (not loading in boot loader mode? WTF? no real recovery image? F*CK? bad hacks? no useful backup situation.. why do i need a recovery, when i cant access it when i screwed up? -> useless to me.
im really thinking of switching back to htc, although the DHD is too big, i think ill gonna take it
guys, any tipps? suggestions? id really appreaciate it. :=)
thanks for all the responses so far.
current situation
- mcgyver trick tried for 45 mins,
- rsd lite in first come first served mode
- white led goes on on usb connect immediately
- screen is black the whole time
- no results - no recognization...

ACCIDENTS ARE NOT ALWAYS BAD
All those greedy people wanting to flash froyo from 2.51 and wanting to keep their downgradability, you will need to search for tutorial from Bihariel where he put up froyo rom only for 2.51 base.

i then went ahead and used the 2nd init. still no issues. then when i was ready to flash i got stuck. cant load into bootloader or anything. im afraid the battery may be close to dead but im unsure.
currently all i can do is see the m logo. thats it. cant seem to get into recovery.
i also tried rsdlite but i cant sem to find the right files cause they all have the wrong extensions.
please help. i have no problem with buying someone a beer!!!
1. Boot the phone into stock recovery by holding power and volume down at the same time, press both volume buttons when it boots and go to factory reset/cache, run that.
2. Reboot into bootloader, by pressing power and volume up, plug into your PC.
3. Download the latest version of RSD Lite, and download a 2.2.1 SBF of your choice. You'll need to unzip the sbf file from the .gz using a .zip program, I use WinRAR.
4. Open RSD Lite, choose the sbf file, make sure the phone is connected in BOOTLOADER mode (step 2)
5. Run RSD Lite, wait until is says "PASS" In the dialogue box.
6. Enjoy!
ok so i got it back to the bootloader that you mention. however its flashing battery low cannot flash. or something like that. now what...
1st of all you if the blue led does not lit then you should try to go to stock recovery (start your phone using vol down + power, then press the lower right corner of the screen when the android appears with an exclamation mark - on Eclair- / press both Vol Up+ Vol Down -on Froyo -). Then you can start your phone into bootloader and flash the SBF again.
PS: older 2nd init versions get stuck on boot if the USB debugging is ON and the battery must be taken out to restart your phone.
EDIT: wow...how many replays have you received while I was typing mine Good luck and keep us posted!
If it says battery low, cannot flash, simply charge the battery for a bit, and then retry
how can i charge the battery? i have no lights blue or white...
I'm not 100% positive about this, but if the phone is off, and not bootable, I think plugging it in still charges it. Anyone know?
ok i just went to radioshack and bought a stand alone universal battery charger. im guessing if i give to 30-45 min that should be enough to try this process. any other tips/tricks in the meantime? im wondering where i went wrong. also what is the best file (link if possible) to use? lastly what will it take to get back to usa tmobile rom and i guess start over?
Since you are in the US use this sbf http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz with RSD lite. Use this version of RSD lite 5.3.1 and Motorola drivers http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=609901&d=1306603535.
ALWAYS go into recovery and wipe first before entering bootloader and flashing sbf
The sbf I linked above is the stock eclair 3.6.360 for the US
