You will have to install a new sbf...
For that you need to go to bootloader (Power+volume UP)
Install RSD Lite and flash the new sbf!
It may fix it..
EDIT!!
Try Power and Volum Down and if you see an android with a yeallow triangle, Press the buttons as mentioned in the post below and you'll go to stock recovery.

Try volume up and down really fast. Not touching bottom corner. I don't even have my Defy yet but I'm sure I read this!

Then Install Sd recovery (hhttp://tinyurl.com/3dbqefx)

Hi,
I think you should read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065798 and check that you have the right version of bootmenu.
Answer n°5 may help you to start over again.
I have been through this a few days ago, it is quite easy but there is a lot of reading.
The most important thing is to read everything so you can understand what you do.

thx for the quick answer i have try step five but when i do that it bring me to a black screen with a white triangle and a ! in it. i really dont know what else to do

hit both volume buttons at same time it will make a menu visable then choose factory reset

also cm7 flashes a new bootloader so you might have to flash reboot into recovery for cm7 then install again

holding both volume button and the power one does not work it bring me to cyanogene boot loop

You have to press them when you are in the stock recovery menu.

but i cant go in the stock recovery menu or i dont know how cause pressing the down buton i still go to the boot loop and if i do power plus down button i get to a triangle with a ! inside it

To enter stock recover do:
Shutdown phone
Start phone by pressing power + volume down (hold both keys for a few seconds)
Once the android with the exclamation mark is displayed push volume up and down at the same time.
Then you're in stock recovery.

that's great man thx, and what to do once im in there?

wipe data and factory reset

it tell me 4 thing
reboot system( do nothing)
apply sd card :update.zip (saying there is nothing like that on my sd)
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
i would like to know what to do from this point on cause i got nothing now in my phone

i did the wipe data and factory reset now when i start my phone it stay on the M logo

now reflash cm7

alright i did flash but i put back 2.2.1 in it i wont play with that anymore lol thx

your welcome

Most things are the same for defy and defy+
Off course not the downgrade and warranty stuff.
"I downgraded from CM7 to Stock / Installed a new SBF but I'm having bootlops: (!) If this is happening to you, after flashing the Stock SBF, enter in Stock Recovery and do a full wipe (Data/Cache) and reboot."
"How do I enter Recovery Mode?!: With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear, if you are on Éclair the menu should appear without having to press anything."
Hope it helps
Edit:
Didn't see the (!), it says not for Defy+, you can try

maybe you have flashed a wrong sbf, that make it brick, we call it fake brick in China

thankssssssss labsin!!!! great

Stucked in boot mode
Hi,
i instlled CM7 in my defy and works good but after that i did something wrong in boot mode so am unable to us emy mobile.Yesterday i used TSDLite to flash my mobile.I downloaded SBF 2.2.2 and flashed my mobile.But while switch on my phone it stays in "android" loading page.I cant able to go boot mode.
Pls help me

I think you mean you are stuck on the boot logo, just wipe data on stock recovery

entering stock recovery:
while pressing vol down press power, wait till android robot appears then press volume up and down simultaneously. here you can wipe data.

Motorola Defy Red Lens will not boot.

So here is the story. I did a nandroid restore of a backup but that killed my recovery. I did a sbf flash via RSD lite v5.7 with an SBF correct for my Defy.
I followed RSD Lite instructions, on "power the phone on manually" I still was at the android logo, so I took the battery out and restarted. RSD Lite will notify me that the process is done only if I boot into moto boot. No I am always stuck at the Android logo.
What next? Try other SBFs?

looks like you did everything correct, but you are stock on a boot loop so get on stock recovery "pull the battery out an restart wile pressing power+vol down until you see the exclamation triangle, press vol up and down together " and do a full wipe

Thank you,
It worked after the third round of flashing and wiping.

You are stuck in bootloop since you didn't do a clean wipe before flashing the SBF.
Press and hold Vol- and Power button. When you get to the android with yellow exclamation mark, press Vol- and Vol+ simultaneously and then wipe data/cache.
Done!
If I was getting a dime every time I have given this solution, I'd be driving a Ferrari by now
