Hi, i messed up my phone in a really stupid way
So, until a few days ago i had a froyo installed on my phone ( + 3.4.2_155-002_DEBLUR_SIGN ROM) but then i decided to give a try to CyaongenMod Beta 5.1.
I followed this very well detailed installation guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447 and got my CM7 working, but after a day i became unhappy with the CM7, the camera didnt work properly and there were many other issues.
What I did next, I turned my phone off, went into stock android recovery and did a full factory reset and cache wipe. I rebooted the phone and hoped that i would be able to load a normal android system, but the only thing that is happening is a motorola logo being displayed.
I tried connecting my phone via USB to flash an old ROM (3.4.2_155) but the phone is not appearing in the RSD Lite - i think it has to be completely turned on in order to appear there, isnt is true?
What shall i do to be able to turn my phone on properly, and is it possible to flash another working rom via RSD lite without having my phone turned on?
i tried to factory reset + wipe with stock and custom recovery, still no luck, phone freezes at motorola logo during start up.
i dunno why it still doesnt show up in RSD lite, any tips on how and when should i try connecting it via USB cable?
EDIT I forgot that for a phone to appear in RSD Lite without being switched on it has to be in a bootloader mode!! (which is entered by holding a volume up button during strart up, just like volume down button for recovery! i know, im stupid, i don't know how i could forget about this)
So, i entered the bootloader menu and managed to have my phone seen by RSD Lite, next I flashed a new SBF and I was getting a bootloop, and fixed it by a data wipe in stock recovery!)
Try to take out battery after few minutes put it back. Pull in usb cable. Then try to push the right buttons.
SOLUTION
First get your phone in bootloader mode by pressing VOLUME UP first and then POWER button till you get that logo.......Then flash it with rsd lite..,,,

Hi. Well, I've used CM7 and I liked it a lot. But the speaker is broken now, and now I have to bring it to RMA. I was using my default 2.2.1 sbf (Personal AR 2.2.1) with CM7, so, I just tryied to flash it again. Ok, the RSD stays in "Please power the phone manually", but the phone keeps restarting the boot animation (the blur one, not the M).
So, I've tryied with SBF 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC (the one used in CM7), and now Im going to try with JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-002.
But it's strange to me, because, I've used the NORDIC one previously to test CM7. (after all, CM7 worked flawesly in the Personal 2.2.1, so I switched back to that).
So, what can I do?
RSD keeps recognizing it ok, and I can access to the stock android recovery (not the clockwork).
Before flashing via rsd lite, turn on your device into recovery mode.
Shutdown it, by pulling out battery, press volume down and power button ( keep pressing volume down ). Wait some seconds and you'll enter into recovery.
Then, press both volume buttons and wipe data/factory reset.
Flash again your sbf!
Yes, thanks! I totally forget that. Now I just need to wait the RMA.
I defy you to be bricked the 2 days. Put in office the night the morning was completely blocked with the LED flashing green. I reinserted the battery and then turn on nos. I installed cynogem 7.1. By connecting to a PC is recognized for 2 seconds and then disconnects. I tried mcgiver mode but nothing is ever disconnected after 2 seconds. The battery is charged.
What can I do? help me please
Sorry for my english
Help me please
Try installing Froyo Official [don't use custom ROM until you get back to normal state]
and as you are saying, it disconnects after 2-3 seconds, probably your battery is done [not sure but you may check another battery]
so Install Froyo Official 2.2 [from Defy Android Development section] & hopefully you'll get your phone back in action.
PS: Defy can't be dead as far as it got locked bootloader
I have tried with other battery on a shop but don't turn on.
Try using some Universal Charger to charge your battery [or buy new one]
otherwise Best option would be to try it on some other PC, or change USB slot but trying on different PC will be good.
Hey i am having a similar problem. i just put CyanogenMod 7 on my defy and went to install the Google apps. All went good then rebooting i am now stuck on the Motorola logo. The led lights are not coming on it just sits there frozen. i have tried getting it into the boot menu and to use RSD lite but nothing is working. Please help as if freaking out.
1. Pull the battery, wait, and reinsert
2. Push and hold Volume Down button, tap the power button, while still holding the volume down. (This will boot you into the stock recovery)
3.Now, push both Volume Up, and Volume Down buttons to allow for more options than, just the triangle screen.
4. From Stock recovery, Wipe and Factory Reset.
5. Reboot once it is finished wiping
That's all I can say.
If still not work, head back to Quarx's CM7 thread & mention your problem there.
Just make sure you followed all directions properly.
PS: CM team have not officially released any ROM for DEFY, so this is MODs work, ask them further for any help.
Best of Luck
all good now after a hour of yelling at the phone i got boot loader to work.

Desculpe amigo, no entiendo.
As far as I understood you, your phone is not showing you any boot screen OR there's currently no software running on your device, & I'm quite sure that your cell phone's battery is not charged enough to run the device in any mood, try searching your local mobile market for Universal Charger, charge your battery for 7-8 hours, meanwhile download RSDLite & Brazil Froyo Official SBF,after 7-8 hours then put battery back in defy, Turn your phone ON while pressing Vol UP [keep it pressed until it shows you bootloader], then open RSDLite & choose downloaded SBF, let it finish & VOILA, you're good to go again.........
PS: Defy is having locked bootloader, means whatever u do with your device, you can't brick it in any means, always it will run in Bootloader mode
U mean u can't even get into bootloader or recovery?....wat did u do jus before this happened?

Did u throw the Defy to floor.. Seems the board of Phone is bend bcz of some seriuous shock ..
thanks for help
before it is the way that I could do the flash, but the last time I used a rom (Froyo) that I can not remember the way and left it,
I sent my phone to Motorola, but they included this pie plate that's my fault!
My problem is:
- Just see white LED,
- Black screen,
- Phone doesn't boot?
- Never ever see the motorola logo
McGyver Hack tried and left carrying several hours but the phone shows no signal, LED lights only when connected to USB
I hope you understand! D;

Did you try to follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wik...#Recover_Nearly_Bricked_Phone_.28hopefully.29 ?
If not, do so. If you see the white LED and did not do any physical damage to the phone, it should be unbrickable and with the guide from above it should work again.
universal charger works just like McGyver?
I got a charger
My charger shows that the battery is full, I still have 8 hours to leave loading?
I did do the flash, but now not out of the motorola logo! and not able to enter the factory reset
Which rom did you flash?
Normally you should be able to enter stock recovery by holding vol-, powering on, and stop holding vol- when the yellow triangle appears. Then press vol- and vol+ at the same time and wipe cache. Reboot and done.
JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9
I can't enter to recovery mode, just bootloader
Am I doing something wrong with RSD? to put the flash, and when it appears to manually restart it restarts but gets stuck in the Motorola logo, remove the battery and put again holding power + vol up and it appears that the RSD over this process ... right?
microsd must be empty?
I am not able to sleep because of this D;
it's not important whether the sd is empty or not.
Maybe try a more recent version of rsd lite, like 5.1. Also install the latest motorola drivers.
You may also try to check the MD5 sum of your SBF against the one given on the download page. Or download the SBF again and reflash a second time.
Did you wait for RSD to display "Reboot phone manually" or "PASS/FINISHED" ? If you're not 100% sure that it's done, simply wait for 5 minutes or so and check whether it has finished or not.
You could also try to flash a 2.2.2 rom (nordic or so).

in part he is in "manually reboot phone" and hangs on the Motorola logo, it is still "manually reboot phone" even after five minutes, I pull the battery and replace and go into the bootloader, and woe in rsd lite it was "Reboot phone manually" is "PASS"
would somehow more radical? recovery by entering the pc?
my Defy is heating up, is this normal?
I had installed before the unit to CM7 problem

Starting at 1:05 and the next 20 seconds or so I don't really understand why you're putting the battery out and in so often. After rebooting the phone, you should simply wait for RSD to show PASS and then just wait another 2 minutes or so for the phone to boot. Why do you start it in bootloader mode again ?
Also, did you try to flash other Roms? If not, try Nordic 2.2.2 or others (but NOT 2.3.4 roms!!!!)
Btw, is it still impossible to enter stock recovery?
So ... I took the battery because the moment that appears to restart my device and manually reset it is in the motorola logo until the battery runs out, and if I call to replace and usually the rsd lite still says need to restart if I shot and put the battery and go into the boot loader shows the RSD lite "PASS"
poles already tried ROMs, including nordic
what I'm seeing is rather impossible to get into recovery, but now it appears after a few seconds after the motorola:
bootloader

Did u try a new version of rsd lite?

Hello everyone. This is my first post here but I have been lingering around XDA particularly in Xperia S android development forum.
Today, I'm having a problem with my XS that it won't start up after i've done a few things related to installing new ROM in it. I'm not sure if it's bricked or anything but here's the full story and please tell me after reading:
My phone is as follows:
Xperia S
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted
1) I was in my Recovery Mode (not TWRP as I was using a 4.1.2 JB ROM before) with a ROM installed.
2) Wiped Cache
3) Install ROM from SD Card
4) Successfully went through the ROM install wizard and installed it perfectly. I could've just used the ROM as usual but suddenly..
5) Then I went into Settings, I decided to do a Factory Reset (With wiping the internal storage too) <--- I thought doing this would only reset the current recently installed ROM and not wipe the ROM itself)
6) It reboots and bring me to the Recovery Mode page
7) I chose reboot my phone now option
8) It rebooted with the SONY logo on for a while
9) And then the triangle settings logo with a spanner and screwdriver logo show up. The screen stayed for a while like 20 seconds
10) And then it goes black..... and I can't get it start ever again (yet)
I don't know what on earth was I thinking doing a factory reset... that was dumb of me
That's how the story went... what should I do?
I've tried:
Holding the power button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Holding the vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Holding both power+vol up button for 20 seconds(or longer), no vibrations, led or anything
Connecting the phone to laptop using USB to see if it is detected by my laptop but no nothing happened though (I did not press any button while connected)
Enter FLASHMODE using the proper way (using flashtool and everything) but fruitless
Charging so that the Red LED comes out when phone runs out battery and resetted. But so far still nothing (6 hours+ charging)
So at this point what has happened to my phone? Is this considered 'bricked'? Is it over for my phone now? Can I do anything to get it back running? Please help.
Thank you so much in advance for reading and helping me out.

chill dude, dont panic, this was happened with me too a month ago, here what i did, i downlaod the .96 ftf file and flashed it in fastboot mode, in my situation, phone was on bootloop and your phone is turnning off so you can get into the fastboot easily,
have u tried sony update service? i broke my hp too... then i realised that i can actually use sony update service and press the volume down button and plug in my hp and update my fw to the original sony fw. hope this method helps for u.
Chill.
Alright dude, so chill. I recommend you to download Sony PC companion software and click on "Repair my device" from there. Then, you just have to follow the instructions and it should work. Tell me if it hasn't, I will help you

Would this work with a unlocked bootloader and rooted SXS?? Having problems with my data partition because I think it's corrupted. But I can still use my phone if it doesn't shut down the normal way.

I have the same issue with my Xperia SL.I wrongly install cwm recovery 6.0.4.4 by recover mode through option update.zip. Its done all the damage to my XSL. No Fastboot Mode, No Flash mode, No vibration nothing...Plz Help me guys...Plz
Yeah.
Yep. It should work.
Hey guys.A while back I wanted to install adfree so I rooted my e975.Sometime in August I updated the android to 4.4.2 and I think the phone got unrooted.But SuperSU was still installed and I wanted it removed.So I tried a factory reset (settings->backup&reset->factory reset data) but SuperSU was still there afterwards.
Then I thought I should flash the kdz.So I tried to get my phone into download mode (volume buttons pressed and then connect to pc) but the screen shows nothing.I also tried going into recovery (volume down+power button) but that doesn't appear to work either.
Does anyone have any idea what's wrong with my phone?Everything else is working fine so maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Sorry if something doesn't make sense, English isn't my first language.
No one has any ideas?
I think this may be a hardware problem so I should find a way to hide the fact that the phone got rooted in case I need to sent it back.Is there any way to remove SuperSU without flashing the kdz?

Thanks for helping me brijen95.I just tried what you said and volume down+power key doesn't seem to work.The screen just stays black so I can't do a hard reset.Vol+ and connect to pc doesn't work either.The phone just starts charging after a few seconds.I also just reinstalled the drivers but it didn't change anything.
I had a hard time getting into download mode recently as well. What ended up working for me was holding the volume keys for about 10 seconds, then while still holding the buttons, plugging the usb cable into the phone.
No that didn't work either .
Is there any way to remove SuperSU?Keep in mind that my phone is not rooted anymore.
Edit: Well I just found out that the phone is entering download mode but not showing anything on the screen.I managed to flash the kdz with no issues.
