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

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..,,,

Hey all,
I was trying to flash a new rom on my friend's Defy. Everything went fine till the point I had to flash the rom. I forgot to wipe cache and data before flashing and now the phone isn't boot. I'm stuck with a black screen. Also I tried to charger it with an ac charger and the white LED doesn't turn on, but it does when I connect it to my PC and I've tried to boot into recovery and bootloader, but I cant.
Please help needed asap!
Hey,
more information please, what have you done??
Flashed with RSDLite? From which ROM to which ROM?
Further it could be the wrong Group for that Post....
How did you try to boot into bootloader?
Maybe the wiki can help you more faster...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Motorola_Defy
If you still stuck - pls give me a hint.
Good Luck!
Thank for the reply
I was using RSDLite to flash that new rom. I'm not sure what the default rom was, but I was trying to flash JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.1 and to get into the bootloader I was pushing and holding the power button and vol up button together.
P.S. I'm trying to do the McGyver battery fix at the moment.
I dont think you need that mc gyver trick...
Release the battery, press and hold volume up (+) and the power butten than insert the battery, after some seconds -dont wait too long- release all buttons, now you should see the bootloader and it should be possible to flash a new image again, be sure which image you take!!
Recovery mode has two different ways to get into, it depends on the image you have currentyl installed....
Usually push the volume down (-) button and power on your device, just relase the volume (-) button if you see the exclamation mark.
Let me know if something worked for you.
I had nearly the same issue, released the battery for a moment an tried the first hint i wrote above.
This hasn't worked for me either

Hey.
You mean the McGyver Trick? Or the Battery In/Out way to Bootloadder??
cheers.
Some issue doesn't need you to actually see the bootloader screen in order to flash a new sbf. Just take out the battery, hold volume up button and insert back the battery, then release button. Now insert the USB cable to the PC. You would see a connection status under the RSDlite even if the phone screen stay black. Now you can continue flashing.
Or the back screen tells you are on an empty battery, then Mcgyver is the only way.
Had this problem well too many times.
Check the file size of the ROM.
I spent ages trying to get a 40MB rom to flash properly.
try find one with a good file size (100MB-300MB).
I had the same problem and tried the McGyver trick, but the battery the cause of my problem. If u plug it in with RDs lite open and then try pwr and volume + then u might be able to get something. Even if teh screens off and RDS lite detects it then its worth a shot trying to flash it again.
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.

Pull out your battery for 2 minutes, put it back and try to boot. If that doesn't work then:
1) Power off your device (pulling out battery is the bulletproof way)
2) Press the volume-down button and hold it, then press the power button until you see a
white menu screen (bootloader)
3) Try to access recovery (navigate with volume-keys and powerbutton). If you cannot
access recovery then:
4) Download this file http://www.multiupload.com/BTJ8KY0KH9 and put it on your SD-card
root with an external memory card reader.
5) Boot to bootloader again and accept the installation
6) See if it works.

like to do all of this but it dont boot into bootloader doesnt mater if i push volume up or down and power on either way it vibrates 3 times than flashes led.
still... is HTC able to detect a rooted device even if it dont boot? and if so can they deny the waranty
This has happened to me 2-3 times. I definitely think it was because the battery didn't have enough charge. Try charging it for a little time. Have patience.
If its not getting charged I think there might be some problem with your charger, charging cable, charging port or battery.

wll the battery was charged 100% just before that happened - and i tried another battery after this happend - because i was about to install a new rom. so it checks aut that when i try to hboot that its vibrates 7 times than flashes green led (when vol down + power) when i start normaly or when i try to vol up + power its vibrates 3 times
and flashes a orange led ( normaly it would be red but i was on blackice mod)
i have varanty left on that thing and it was rooted s-off when i send it in are they able to see this?
and could they deny varannty?
it was only slightly oc´ed to 1.3 instead of 1 ghz thera was chainfire installed too
Windows 7 trys to recognice the device when i plug it in per usb but cant find the right driver.
thanks for the ideas

That's strange. When that happened to me it was fine when I charged up the battery.
Unfortunately, considering the fact that you can't even get into bootloader and that windows cant recognize your device I'd say you are pretty much bricked.
Do you get the splashscreen atleast? the one with the white HTC logo?
Are your volume keys working fine? I mean were they working fine before this happened?
Well I'm pretty sure that if they can't get to the bootloader, they have no way of knowing it was S-OFF. So they can't deny warranty in that case.
On the other hand, if the issue that caused this problem was indeed an issue that could've come only after someone S-OFF's then they might just deny it.
But I'm pretty sure you can fool them by maintaining that you don't know anything about how it happened.

Nope. Wont work. The computer has to recognize it atleast. In anycase, adb works only after the mobile boots past the splashscreen. And I think he might have already be knowing about adb since he's flashing ROM's.

thats the point ther is no splash screen at all. i think this is a great myth the comunity cant solve by now. i read this a bunch of times many post to the 3 vibrations on boot or 7 vibrations ther is suggested that the mainboard passed out but what coused this if so?
otherwise i saw post on peaople were able to fix this bug and therfore could be no mainboeard failure be possible right?
i still try to figure that out gonna make a pol thread in DHD general because i have some suspissions to this and i want to see if this checks out.
thanks anyway
I just wiped my phone with TWRP using the "advanced" settings and ticked everything. Obviously not a good idea as I think I have wiped everything including the ROM from my phone. Any idea how to get it going again? It just goes to the "Sony Xperia" screen and stays there when booting. I'm not sure how to get back into TWRP (i used to get there from a utilities app that restarted the phone into recovery). I have TWRP backup on my computer before I did the stupid thing...
Thanks for any help!
I've tried to flash from Emma and and Xperia Companion but I can't enter Flashmode (hold the volume down button and connect to computer). It just automatically turns on and shows the Sony/Xperia screen and the LED is solid RED.
I let it run down over night and still unable to enter Flashmode.
I assume TWRP is still there as it was the program that wiped the phone. Any ideas how I can get into TWRP?
The computer does not recognise the phone either. It was rooted and had an unlocked bootloader before it happened.
Thanks!
Hold power down and press power button. Release power button when phone vibrates but keep holding vol down until you see twrp logo. If you don't see it after maybe 10 seconds. If nothing happens you can try pressing power button and when you see led light keep pressing or holding (try both) vol down. If that doesn't work then you can try flashing with flashtool. You can check my thread for downloads and instructions

In sim card slot there is a small red button. Hold it down with toothpick or paper clip until you feel three vibrations. That will shut off your phone.
Now you can try Flashtool or Emma.
Thanks so far ... here is an update.
After letting it run down overnight it eventually let me get it into flashmode. Xperia Companion doesn't work (unlocked) but Emma is trying to work. It has taken a few hours to download the software as the phone only stays in flashmode for about 30 seconds but it was able to eventually download the software. Now it is trying to load it but it gets to 11% and the phone goes out of flashmode (but automatically re enters it without me doing anything) and the cycle continues. Is there any way to force it to stay in flashmode?
I've tried the suggestions above to get to TWRP but nothing seems to work.
I can think of 2 reasons. Either emma is broken (never used it, can't tell) or your connection to pc gets interrupted by bad cable or broken connector. Why don't you try flashtool instead of emma?

I wiped whole storage few times as he did (Without letting it run overnight tho) and you can't charge your battery without system or recovery. If your battery drains in this situation you are SOL
yeah I think that is my problem. The phone won't charge and that's why it only stays on for 30 seconds before losing connection.
Can I charge the battery out of the phone? I know it a pain to pull out ... but I've done it before as it needs changing every 12 mths or so.
Not sure about that. I mean there has to be a way to charge it outside phone but you would need special equipment since you can't just use random charger. Since you said you charged your batteries before you could try to use one of them and hope that they have charge in them for flashing. I saw that @munjeni has a lot of experience with this phones hardware so you could try and contact him and ask if he knows about contact points on motherboard for charging
Ok. Got it going again eventually. Not sure exactly what I did that made it work but FYI these are the things that I did that seemed to help:
Charged it on my ASUS tablet charger today - seemed to do a better job than the other charger I was using (it was a Nokia). It seems to hold a very small charge but was not charging the battery properly. Hooked it up to Emma which had already managed to download the software and put the phone under my laptop (trying to warm the battery to squeeze everything our of it). 355 seconds later it had copied the software and the phone was able to turn on normally again. The phone was getting to about 60% of the software copied across before I used the ASUS charger and the heating the phone technique.
BTW I couldn't get flashtool to work. It recognised the phone but stopped saying USB debugging was off.
Thanks for everyones help!!
