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..,,,

OK.
I will put in a detailed info about what happened.
A week back, my wildfire's touchscreen started to function abnormally.
I was rooted and on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3
So, I flashed the phone with DK custom FROYO to make it look like sense so that the warranty is not void and took it to the HTC store.
They replaced the touchscreen for a flat fee (It was water damage according to them. But the phone was never used in wet conditions nor exposed to water)
But anyway, the phone was working fine when I brought it home from their store.
Then I flashed CM7.0.3 again.
And everything was working fine.
I OCed acc. to CM's settings to 652-352 Mhz.
And left the phone to charge in charger overnight.
When I woke up, the phone was off and there was just the red LED light blinking.
I tried to boot it again, but nothing works.
Pressing the power button does not do anything.
The phone still boots into recovery. At times.
I don't know what makes it boot into recovery. But at times it does, at times it doesn't. (Right now it's not booting into recovery no matter what I do)
Just the red LED keeps on blinking.
Please help.
I am not familiar with pushing commands onto the wildfire since I use a mac.
Please suggest any methods. If they involve using command line, I can use my windows PC for that. But please give a how-to of length enough for a noob ) ) to understand.
Thank you.
Pulz
EDIT :
I got to boot into recovery once. Tried to reflash CM7.0.3
It came to "Installing update" and then failed to go further.
Tried to install DK Custom Froyo 4.5
And it went to opening package and then failed to go further.
Now entering into a panic mode !
Red light blinking generally occurs when phone is hot and plugged in to wall socket. Is it so at that time ?
Unplug the charger or usb. Remove the battery and reinstall the battery. Try to boot into hboot mode (volume down + power) or fastboot mode (trackpad + power) . If your phone can boot into hboot/fastboot mode and has no restarts or power offs, then I think you can solve it.
Try to clear storage from hboot menu. Or factory reset from recovery once you enter it. If still it is not solved, try using "pc49img" method of flashing an RUU from the hboot menu. Hope it helps. Shouldn't help if there is hardware issue.

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
09.10
Err: A5, 70,39,00,27
help!! guys!!
Did u try a new version of rsd lite?
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
yes!! i try
I've got a "new" phone that had an lock password, since i didn't know the password, i did a hard reset to the phone.
Now the phone won't turn on again, pc wont recognize it. Did i do something wrong?. I've follow the instruction from http://www.hard-reset.com/lg-g3-hard-reset.html
to perfom the reset.
If i try to charge it nothing happens, no lights, no battery indicator, i tried with a different charger aswell.

Edit:
I tried this

I had the same problem and pulling the battery wasn't cutting it. This worked for me:
1. Take out the battery
2. WITH THE BATTERY OUT OF THE PHONE AND NOT PLUGGED IN, press and hold the power button for about 15 seconds.
What this does is it drains all the power stored in the phone and takes the power source away so the phone can fully reboot and refresh the power cycle.
3. Replace he battery and plug in the phone to the OEM LG Charger that came with the phone.
4. Let the phone charge for about 15 minutes then try to turn it on.
This worked for me but some phones are DOA being the phones are still in early production. It takes a few months before they work out all the Kinks.

But after i try to turn it on, same thing happen again. I don't have another battery to try on... but could it be the battery??
Edit 2:
Doing this way, if i plug it to my computer, it recognize the phone, but still cant put download mode my phone... is there anything i can do through here??
Edit 3:
I let the phone unplugged and wiht no battery for like 30 min... tried again.. now it worked again!! everything is working properly...
Pd. right after performed root access with purple drake, after done rooting successfully went to reboot and got at the same state... i will wait a couple minutes and try again...
Edit 4:
hehe so it worked again... i installed twrp, after i enter the TWRP menu and hit reboot, got same problem again... now i ahve to remove de battery and wait...
Any ideas if this can be solved... somehow?
Okay so here's what happened. I unlocked my device just fine, and attempted to install a ROM, didn't work, So i decide I'm going to try to install cyanogenmod. I go this (wikiDOTcyanogenmodDOTORG/w/Install_CM_for_a5 )wiki tutorial [/URL] and I attempt to flash clockworkmod recovery via this link (builderDOTunstableappsDOTCOM/#/latest/clockworkmodrecovery/a5) When i flash, it installs. But then upon booting I get the app for developement only screen, and it's stuck showing my battery charge screen, with the orange charge light. Anyways I can't boot using the power down volume combo. I'm currently waiting on the battery to die so I can reflash the stock recovery, because fastboot won't recognize the device when I plug it in, even though my computer makes the device connected tone. So should I just wait until the battery dies? Or is there something else I can do?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks
Solved
I actually solved my problem. I waited for the phone to die, powered it on normally. Then to reset the device and held the power and up button as soon as the screen went black hit down on the volume and got into my bootloader.
