Happy to try and help, but need more info first.
What ROM (firmware) and Android version did you start with, and which were you trying to install using RSD Lite?

I think it isn't bricked, what ROM did u flashed and which one did you came from?
Connect USB and open RSDLite, see if the phone is showed, if not just try to turn it on, you will only see a black screen but RSDLite will recognize it and you will be able to flash

Sorry for the delay...
In fact when i try to start the defy nothing happens.
And RSD lite does not recognize it neither...
I had froyo 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933555)
but i had to downgrade because it was too slow!!
After the downgrade the defy went off and did not start since that...
thank you for your help...

exactly the same problem to me
sorry for bad english

Same thing happened to mine, won't start, RSD lite won't recognize I don't want to have to send it back to T-mobile, any help would be appreciated.

We cannot downgrade after flashing the US leak. But its better than a bricked phone!!

The same thing happened to me (see this thread)
Basically, what I did was to try to flash a generic uk 2.21 rom onto my usa t-mobile defy that has been updated to the 3.6.360 firmware recently.
After flashing, rsdlite said "finished" and "PASS", but my defy defiantly (no pun intended ) remained turned off with only a white light at the top. This white light would turn on when i plugged the device into the usb, and turn off when I plug it out. Initially, rsdlite also recognised my device whenever i plugged it in, but after a while (and, i believe, draining my battery considerably) rsdlite completely did not recognise my phone. In essence, i thought it was bricked as all the phone could do was turn on a white light whenever i plugged it into the computer. It did not respond to booting into recovery, bootloader, etc.
What I did was to first get the phone recognised by rsdlite. Search this forum for the Mcguyver battery fix. this certainly helped to get mine recognised by rsdlite.
After your phone has been seen by rsdlite, load up the leaked tmobile froyo rom and flash it with that. it should work and you should be up and running in no time. (just like me 30 minutes ago! I felt so happy and started scouring this forum to help out anyone in the same situation as I was..)
GOOD LUCK!!!

Bring defy back to life unbrick defy

1. Download and install motorola rsd lite
2. Download any sbf file..............I prefer nordic version.........Download it through z share .....it will be fast
3.IF u were using froyo, dont flash eclair 2.1 sbf..........go for more advanced version...
4.Even if your phone is dead, RSD will detect it
5.Browse your sbf file and then flash it...
Grab ur sbf file from here.....i prefer nordic
http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy (any file but froyo 2.2.2 is good)

please dont use ANY sbf files..you will need to use the FULL sbf files, and not some FIXED sbf files. there is a difference between the 2, and if you phone is bricked, you'll have to use a full sbf to flash it. using the fixed sbf will not help, and only frustrate you further

But when i bricked myne, i used nordic............is it a custom one and not official??

My phone before bricked was running 2.3.4 and now won't turn on. I would get the white light once plugged into laptop but rsd lite would not recognize the phone. I then had a friend charge my battery on their defy.. so now with 100 charge I get no white light and rsd lite still doesn't recognize it..
device manager on my laptop does recognize that there is a motorola device plugged in that needs flashing.. it says "ready for flash"

I have a similar problem to urs, I had to replace the lcd and while i done it i started the device without assembling it, i think that removing the battery while the device was on corrupted the flash. The device would only show the white led and now it wont even show nothing.
My device wasnt rooted and it was using the factory android 2.2.2? does anyone have any suggestions. I have tried mcwygver wire rooting solution and rsd and the device is completly dead.
Using vol UP/down +power up wont work either.
Any suggestions?
Kind Regards

Hi i have the same problem. Phone via USB shows White LED and does not power on. Phone via mains charger is stuck on bootup logo.
When using mains and using volume UP on startup i am stuck in the battery low cannot flash mode. Without mains the phone does not power at all
Tried mcgyver fix via usb - phone does not power on at all, totally dead. It is possible i have done mcgyver wrong? i have placed red wire into + and taped it, put black into - and taped it. Remaining 2 battery holes in the middle are open and not taped. Question - do the + and - have to have the bare wires in but still have the connection hole EXPOSED for the pin in the phone to connect, or are they supposed to be covered?
Thanks

Guys my phone at the time wasnt rooted with the stock rom, i didnt had made no changes to it or whatsoever. But what i have learnt with time i have being trying to fix my problem is that a desktop charger and a spare battery are a great help.
Usually when i cant start the phone because the phone is stuck on white led i get a fully charged battery and it usually works. by trying to get to the bootloader first without the cable connected and after with cable connected.
A few times i have had the phone bricked with no led or being able to boot it, so i just leave it overnight with no battery and it usually it fixes it.
Hope it helps.
Kind Regards

I think u haven't done nything wrong

Having exactly the same problem, plug phone into pc and i get white LED, try tyurning on without usb connected and i get nothing,,,
did anyone fix it?

Maximus 4.1.1 JB, Unlocked Bootloader via htc developers and the phone is can't power on.
Befor this problem, i have other problems with charging and wifi.
Yesterday, the wifi is not turning on. Ok, restart. F*ck this s**it Bootloop. OK, stay calm, try to wipe data. Ok, the phone is booting after wipe data. "Change your language", ok, it set and click next. Here is the problem. Ok i lock the screen and lock off. I can't lock off the srceen. Ok, reboot with long pressed power button. The phone thence not booting and not chargeing,
Anyone knows what's the problem?
I can solve this problem or go to gsm service?

solution
I suggest you to pick you're self up,calm down,and slowly update you're HOX onto the lattest and grattes maximus v 6.o.
Before that,make sure that you're phone is fully charged,back up you're old/current rom and continue.
Don't panic,don't *itch and *oon,it's just a ****ing phone

Thanks your letters, and the help, but the phone does not turn on :S

Turn it completely off and let it charge on the wall for a complete day^^ After that please STUDY THE INSTALL GUIDE OF YOUR CHOOSEN ROM PRECISELY AND READ IT AT LEAST 10 TIMES, this is very important. Now you're ready to flash a ROM. If it's still not wokring, you could've a serious problem with your One X. To have a working warranty claim you have to relock your bootloader!!

I've read your first post. You won't see it if it's carging. Try the following; plug your phone to the wall charger for a couple hours and then try to turn it on. If it doesn't turn on, well, thats bad I remember there were some fixes for not charging ONE X's. I'll have a search if charging doesn't work for you.

Ok. I plugged in the charger isntant to the wall. Really, i won't see the charging led. But i stay on charger a couple of hours. If it doesn't work. It's soooo bad... Motherborad change...

I had this problem the other day, the battery died before i went to bed, so i plugged it in over night and nothing happened, thought it was the charger, tried a different htc charger and nothing again. So i plugged it into my computer and a few minutes later the light started to flash. I let it flash for a few minutes and unplugged it from the computer and plugged it into a charger and turned it on and it charged up.
Long story short, plug it into your computer for a while then turn it on and charge it normally.

Happened to me also but when running bricked kernel.
If your not running the stock kernel you need to put the phone on the charger and just wait untill the red led starts to blink ( it can take 5mins for this to happen )
Then allow it to blink for a few mins then power on as normal and remove the charger.
It will boot and moan it has no charge so plug the charger back in once its booted fully, then leave it to charge.
once at 100% reboot and bam your back up and running as normal.

Here are some people facing the same problem as you do.

There is a file (script) that can override those stuff,it is meant for fastboot (usb) mode,and on adb you type the commands and the phone starts to charge (slowly) but it is getting the electricity.
Search the threads,and find it,I'm 99% possitive that you're phone is not fully bricked.
Best of luck

So lets give the guy some proper help. Tell me exactly where you are now ? Is the phone charged ? If you have enough power to boot in recovery ? It will charge within recovery so you can leave the phone on and in recovery !
Download a ics rom (like viper x) see if that works oke !
put the phone in fastboot USB mode
Bootloader unlocked - if yes continue
Flash the cwm recovery 5.8.4.0
Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
Go into recovery and do a full wipe of everything. (Factory reset and wipe all caches)
Go to mounts & storage and mount as USB diskdrive
Copy the rom.zip to the phone sd card
Open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img to the fastbootfolder on pc
Put the phone back in fastboot USB mode
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot erase cache
Boot back into recovery and flash the rom
After that reboot the phone and it should boot up !

Ahh...
Lesson, this phone IS NOT TURNING ON!
And... unfortunately despite charged few hour... The phone still bricked and i can't turn it on :S

What you can try is to plug it into a pc .... i saw a post before that someone did that and that he could turn on the phone a few hours later. It's worth the try right !

Not working :S
My PC is detecting only the APX hardware. And my phone keep dead.

It's rather hardware issue. Service maybe?
1x, xda premium hd

Apx hardware? I think your memory is corrupt.
Try plugging your phone into charger overnight, then into pc for charge and hold the Vol dwn + pwr for 15 seconds, if the phone doest turn on then you have dead hardware. You can go back to HTC and tell them it stopped working overnight ;D
The good thing in a bricked phone they can't find out whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.
However, some developers are interested in APX mode(because its not accessible in a working phone) and I THINK you can use nvflash (i have no idea how its used or whats its functions are)

APX Mode is when the phone detects very serious hardware damage. In short, you're ****ed.

Bricked :(

I had just successfully rooted my xperia play r800i and was installing CWM. After the installation was successful, I unplugged the phone as Flashtools said but it won't start. Now it's not even being detected by Flashtools. It is being detected by my laptop only with the beep sound and nothing else.
Also my battery was around 20% while I was flashing so maybe that had something to do with it.
Waiting for help by a generous XDA member, again.
Thanks in advance!

check through adb if the phone is getting connected or not.
if not then try booting it into fastboot mode or recovery mode.

If after charging the battery, LED still blinks red than may be your battery is dead.
try changing the battery.
also try connecting the phone in flashmode
- keep pressing the back button & while holding the back button connect the usb cable.
if green LED is on than your phone is still good.
Report back!
