[Q] Defy stuck on bootloop, red M logo! - Defy General

Hi, I have been running on Gingerbread CM7 for a few weeks now until today when I attempted to install 2nd-init. After the installation, I rebooted my Defy and has been stuck on the red logo. I tried flashing with an nandroid backup 2.34 sbf but it's still looping on the logo. I've also tried wiping data after flashing and still no luck.
I appreciate your time taken in helping me out of this mess. Thanks.

Hey, I've managed to flashed back to the Nordic 2.2.2 SBF and everything's fine now. I panicked a little yesterday as I was away on vacation and had no phone to use. But I'm back home now and it's fixed. Thank you all!

[Q] pls help im the noobest guy here

hello
moto defy is my first android device.
i installed the latest 2.3.4 GB on it using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14925851&postcount=72
It was nice and was working well. but i had to go back to froyo and so, i installed system recovery again on Gingerbread. then i tried to boot through it, but it wouldn't boot to the recovery screen. so i tried to wipe data and cache using the moto recovery. then using the rsd lite tool, i flashed the fixed sbf. then im not able to get into the phone now.
it asks for motoblur setup and when i skip it, it says, The application Accounts(process com.motorola.setup) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
with a Force close button. when i force close, motoblur setup first page comes again.
I even tried to register for a new motoblur account, but no luck it goes to the end and stops. i registered new account on pc and used it on the phone. it goes updating and again the error pops up.
I tired many things like starting from scratch. wiping all data + cache, but no luck. Please help me.
If you flash a fixed SBF you have to replace the filesystem with a nandroid backup.
since you couldn't reach clockwork recovery you should have now a froyo fixed SBF with a file system from ginger... that doesn't work.
You now have the two options to try...
- flash ginger sbf again (clear cache, davlik, factory reset etc. first) trie to boot the ginger-system. After that find a clockwork recovery or 2ndInit for Ginger.
- flash a whole stock rom (full SBF) with RSD-Lite ... if anything has been replaced with original files it should be back...
i tried ginger sbf, the shadow4.5.1-134fixed.sbf. no luck. same thing.
tried downloading again and flashed, still same.
for option 2, if i do so, i would loose downgradability to froyo right? could you just provide me a link for the full sbf? i dont want to do something stupid again. sorry.
If i flash froyo full sbf, will it work?
Edit:
YAY!! i downloaded full sbf and flashed using rsd lite. now im on stock froyo. pheew!!
just in case anyone needs the froyo without blur i.e UAE for dowload: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14682923&postcount=1
Just wipe all then reboot, get to bootloader by using vol up+power, flash using rsdlite and again wipe all and reboot.

Try to flash another rom or backup if you get to recovery mode.
Delete the Cache and Dalvik cache via 2ndinit.
Sorry for my bad English!

did you double wipe?
Wipe data/cache using stock recovery, Flash full SBF.

thanks everyone. we wiped data / catche / dalvic and everything! for more than 5 times!!! but the M logo is still the only thing we can see after flashing several ROMs via RSD Lite...
Sometimes the sequence of flashing is vital to make it right.
I think you need to perfom full wipe follow with flashing new sbf. And talking about sbf, there's some img version of which won't work from higher to lower (sort of downgrading) regardless of the sbf you're using. You must need sbf file of the same img version or higher for the flashing process to success. To get this right, you must know exactly your original rom or sbf you were using.
2ndly your rsdlite might be the culprit here too as some run the flash but never pass or failed at bootup due to incompatible rsdlite version and configurations.

[Q] Defy stuck on Google logo wont go past it. Please help

oh and yes I've tried data wipe not working
Do you happen to have a nandroid backup of your stock rom you've had before ?
A nandroid backup is what you should have created using CWM recovery. Just restore it with CWM.
You don't have a nandroid backup ?
Flash the full SBF of your original stock rom (the one you had before flashing cm7). This should be a 2.2 Froyo whatever rom. Connect defy to pc, open rsd lite, start the phone and enter the bootloader and flash the sbf using rsd lite.
Have you installed Froyo (2.2) before going to Cm7? If not (you still had Eclair 2.1) then this is the problem.
However, get 2.2 on that phone and flash cm7 again following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054447
Instructions for some of these steps can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
Also, be patient! When the phone boots for the first time after a flash that may take a while!
Try wiping data cache partition and Dalvik cache from the custom recovery..

[Q] SBF Mix up

Hi there,
My Defy was on Quarx's 0308 CM9 (With CM7 Kernel), when I tried to install Walters Kernel using 4.5.2-109_DHT-22-kernel.zip. After doing this it did not go past the "M" logo upon reboot.
I then read that others had flashed the fixed DHT-22 kernel to fix this issue. I accidentally selected the wrong SBF (JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-11_BLUR_SIGNED) and I am now stuck in a boot loop. Could anyone please help me figure this out?
Thanks in advance

No can't get into recovery, only into bootloader to flash sbf's.

I was in your situation last week (stuck at m logo), so i flashed a 2.2 sbf, then rooted, installed recovery and installed ics again with correct kernel,
That is the way i done it, its a long way around but I'm not sure if there is a faster way sorry,

i have today this problem.
i found china sbf 2.2.2 work on my defy flash root boot cm7 and cm9
Thanks for the response, I'm busy downloading another SBF to try that, will give feedback and thanks, if I prevail!
Ok, I'm back in action. The issue was that I needed to wipe user data and cache using the standard restore (I think that's what it's called). Anyway instead of looking for a SBF that makes it work, I accessed the standard restore by holding volume - while powering up, then wiped user data and cache, which stopped the boot loop after the reboot.
Now I'm back onto CM9
Glad That Worked me too faced alot probs with CM7 and 9

No CWM even after root and 2ndinit install after attempt to flash Codename Android JB

Hi. All was working well when I was running Quarx's version of CM10 on my Green Lens Defy. I could update to each new update CM10 ROM by clearing the data and cache then flashing the ROM and GApps. After that, I wiped the dalvik cache and reboot. Note my Defy is using a Froyo kernel.
Then I decided to try out Codename Android JB Beta and I did what I normally did with the ROM and then GApps. I ended up stuck in a bootloop. No problem I thought. I'd just reflash Quarx's own version of CM10 after wiping data and cache. I got stuck in a bootloop again. Odd. I tried it with older versions of Quarx's CM10 and they result in me getting stuck in a bootloop as well. So I flashed the US T-Mobile SPF for the Defy using RSD Lite then I logged in to BLur and such as that is needed to access the homescreen where I then turned on USB debugging. I then plugged in my phone into my computer to use SuperOneClick Root to root my device. It said my device was already rooted though I don't think that should happen since I flashed a stock 2.1 SPF. Well I rebooted and installed the 2ndinit apk then installed 2ndinit using the app. I think it said that 2ndinit was already installed. But if my memory is wrong in this case, I then installed 2ndinit and rebooted my Defy but I never got a blue LED.
Then I did the same steps as I did previously over and over again with variations to try to get it to work.
Can someone help?
I caution anyone who may attempt to install Codename Android JB Beta from CM10.
On another matter, downloading an OTA update then rebooting when pressing "install now" brings me to the triangle with exclamation screen and gets stuck there.
Have you done a fullwhipe in the Motorola Recovery before flashing the SBF??(usually you would get a bootloop without fullwhiping but maybe the solution is that easy )
And why did you flash a 2.1 SBF you should maybe try some other SBFs like the Froyo SBFs for your Country

Oh a full wipe in stokc recovery is needed? I'll try it.
Can you suggest a good SBF for a US Green Lens Defy if you know any?
Is it fine if I use the 3.4.2-179 CEE Deblur SBF as recommended by Quarz for a base then root, install 2ndinit. and flash CM10 from Clockwork Mod Recovery?
