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

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

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,,,

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!!
gookia2000 said:
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!!!

Hmm you should try connecting the phone to pc and then press the "Power" button right after connecting it,see if you get the LED in front of the phone to bright White,if then then use RSD to reflash firmware.
Goodluck.
i think you shoud charge your defy firstly

likely is dead battery, or else you have some other sbf that screws up your display. trying flashing it with another sbf file and see?
i had the same problem before
Okk, Im buyed a new battery, Monday arrives....
It's most likely your battery is deaded. But if not,your phone might damaged.
You can charge your battery alone by other charger, and then setup the battery
to see whether it work.
did you try flashing the phone again?? in RDS lite, can the computer detect your phone? if not, then it's dead battery, and you can actually use the macgyver method to 'revive' your phone and flash it.

Not work...
vv
what do you mean not work? what sbf did you use to flash with?? it's definitely gonna be better if you can flash a full working sbf instead of a fixed sbf (cos it wont revive your phone)
if your battery is dead, then the macgyver method definitely will work, unless you have a dead battery AND also a non working sbf that is screwing up your display
not a problem of the battery.
A problem of the phone, when connected to pc recognizes it, but 3 seconds off
Now RSD Lite detect this:

NO screen at all on phone when I connect to pc or charger tried recovery mode boot loader still nothing the only thing I get is when i plug into pc and thats a white LED.. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP
You need to let it plugged in for a while so that it can charge. You can't see it though. Install driver and rslite. Then open rslite sbf hope your phone gets found. Then flash an sbf. There us a full guide on the forum somewhere. Can't post link from post.
edit: search for McGyver. Its a guide to unbrick a phone like yours.

I went to check my phone this morning and it wouldn't work.
Plugged it in to charge and all I got was the white LED flashing.
When I plug it in to my laptop I get a constant white LED.
I then tried to get it into bootloader but nothing's happening.
I can't see how it would be bricked, I've been running the same firmware (2.2.2) on it for about 3 months now with no changes.
The only thing that's happened lately is that I dropped the phone onto a wooden floor about a week ago, but it's functioned fine since then.
Any suggestions as to how I should proceed?
See if it gets recognized by your pc & flash sbf again with RSDlite.
If RSD gives nothing, try to look for drivers.
After you flashed the sbf, go to stock recovery and do a factory reset.
Thanks for the reply.
The phone won't show up in My Computer and RSD doesn't see anything.
A couple of times after plugging the phone into the computer and holding down the power button it started to install itself as something like OMC Device, Motorola flash, but then fails to install. I can't even replecate that consistently.
By drivers do you mean the Motoconnect PC drivers? I already have those installed.
Any other suggestions?
if your phone wont show up in rsd lite (ur screwed up)
try installing drivers and reboot your pc
if it still doesn't show up check your battery.
if barrery is drained try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
worst case scenario take it to service center.
If the battery was dead wouldn't the phone boot up anyway with the power from the mains or USB?

Hi everyone,
I am using Htc Desire 816G mediatek version( Asia India) #chipset MT6592. Android 4.4.2, Rooted. Please help,
I rooted (iroot) n installed cwm recovery through MTK droid tool, and have a flashable Stock rom (working {made with mtk droid tool by following some guides} ) with a whole backup of its system files that are accessible by SPflash tools.
Problem is i tried porting a [4.4.2] Emotion UI custom rom of same chipset and skipped porting kernel (actually forgot) and after flashing am stuck on a Infinite Black screen Bootloop which reboots itself for every 7-8 seconds, :crying:
Already tried getting into recovery mode by pressing POWER BUTTON+ VOLUME (-) but so success it keeps rebooting! although i have sorted out how to switch it off. POWER BUTTON+ VOLUME(-) + VOLUME(+)
As Spflash tool or Flash tool requires a switched off phone for flashing stock rom but when i connected to PC in off mode it gets on with the same Infinite Black screen Bootloop.....making it undetectable for PC.
Please help me in recovering it back to normal i 've all the necessary files and software! PLS PLS PLS :crying:
help!!!!
I'm too stuck in bootloop. Phone is hard bricked. Not able to do anything. screen in black and while connecting with laptop/pc its disconnecting and connecting again, every 3-4 secs. HTC customer care refused to fix. Please help!!!
If you are going to play with custom ROMs you might as well learn how to open the case and unplug the battery. There are videos on youtube on how to do it, but simply you start at sim slots and pry between the back cover and above the slots with a plastic pry tool or a cut up credit card and work around the phone. The cover should pop off as you go around. The bottom half near the battery is also stuck together with sticky tape so you have to use larger piece of credit card to break the sticky bond. The plastic case is very durable so you don't really have to be too gentle. Unplug battery and plug it back in. Keep cover off till you have working phone. At his point the phone should be off so you can easily hold volume+power to get to boot loader then recovery to load twrp or cwm backup. The cover easily snaps back together. Just plan ahead so all the corners are aligned as you snap around the phone.

You can't expect customer support for a device you bricked yourself... Honestly. Pull the battery and hook it up to PC with it out.
Still its connecting and disconnecting. After removing battery also it won't stay connected. Any idea to make it alive?
