[Q] [motorola Defy] STUCK on M Logo [HELP!]

Ok so here is what happened:
I'm a very beginner to Android. And my Defy is rooted.
Then I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=977989&page=1
I thought it would be cool to have a gray statusbar.. So I went to recovery, and applied the "Barebones_13-signed.zip" renamed update.zip
It said installation successful (i think) then I rebooted my phone.
Now it's STUCK on the M logo!!!
I really don't know what to do :'(
Tried everything;
Remove battery and reboot.
Plugged phone and reboot.
Went to bootloader (I even don't know what's that )
PLEASE HELP ME :'(

But i can go to bootloader...
Any hints?

Going into Bootloader is enough
U should download the sbf below that article,then use RSD Lite to flash the sbf file into ur phone when ur phone is under bootloader mode

Did this and it worked
THANK YOU!!
Installed stock 2.2 but my phone becomes more laggy... maybe becuz I couldn't wipe data..

try installing the custom rom again, and go into stock recovery. when you see the little triangle press vol + and vol - at the same time. youll get a menu(navigate with the volume keys). go to wipe data and press the screen lock key(the one at the top) reboot, then youre sorted.

Bricked Phone?

My friend was trying to flash Pay's ROM, on his MD525 Deblur.
He rooted it correctly, he then made a backup using system recovery, then he flashed it to 3.4.2-164 Motorola SBF with RSD Lite in bootloader mode..
After that he Re-rooted it again with SuperOneClickRoot.
Then he installed 2ndInit recovery installer.
When he was trying to flash the ROM.zip.. It showed an error, because 2ndInit 1.6 doesnt support Pay's rom.
He then tried to restore using system recovery.. the restore was successful. but when he rebooted, it is stuck at the red motorola logo and aftter 30secs it reboots again. and the process continues... So is it bricked?
I think he can now install the Nordic 3.4.2-177 and use cyanogen mod on it..
That can unbrick his phone right?
PS: Sorry for my bad english!

Wipe data in stock recovery, and than reboot and flash SBF via RSD...

How to wipe data in stock recovery?
Anyways.. he flashed the sbf and he is now installing cyanogen..
I heard that the battery drains fast with cyanogen rom is it true?
If it is.. then which ROM he should opt to?

In Beta 5.1 battery drain problem was there, but in Beta 6 peoples say its solved....And i m using MiUi.

To get into stock recovery:
Turn off the phone
Press the down volume button together with the on button.
When the phone turns on, and you get a droid image, touch the bottom right corner of the screen. If nothing happens, press the up and down volume buttons together.
This will get you into stock recovery. It has wipe data menus.

Thanks for the Reply.
His phone sbf version was 2.59 eclair.. he directly flashed it to 3.4.2-164.
He lost the downgrade ability right? Or else can he still downgrade?

After successfully installing cm7, he made a backup using system recovery..
Now again the phones is stuck at the red motorola logo.. its stuck frm around 30 mins..
he also tried removing battery and rebooting but non working..

-Download 2ndInt Recovery Installer from Market or from Xda
-start the app, click install, wait for the led to turn green, disable usb debugging in the settings and reboot 2 times.
download CyanogenMod7 and put it on sdcard
- wait for the blue Led and then press "Volume down"
- "[Open Recovery] start."
- wipe "data/factory reset"
- "install zip from sdcard" ->- "choose zip from sdcard"
- reboot
- wait for blue led "Volume down" and then choose boot "[2ND-INIT] boot"
- done

Double Post..

Thanks for the reply!
But pls read my post again.. After successfully installing cyanogen mod 7..
He thought to made a backup, and after successful backup using system recovery.. after the reboot the phone was stuck.
Now he flashed it again to 3.4.1-177 sbf.. it completed successfully, but still it is stuck at android logo now.. What should he do?

After installing CM7 did choose [2ND-INIT] boot...?

Now the prob is that he was flashing the sbf on low battery.. I told him to recharge before doing that.. he didnt listen.. now his battery is not charging..

Try wall Charger...

Still cant get it to work.. Scared of doing this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
So any other methods?

I cannnot get to recovery, I can only get into bootloader to flash sbf.
edit: How to enter standard recovery? Hold down volume down on blue led?

Ok, just hold the volume- button, the button which allows you to lower volume level, and AFTER that, press the power button. Then u should see the stock recovery where u can wipe data and cache. Just wipe everything possible, than u should be able to boot ur stock rom.

Ok, the fact that you can see a blue led means that you actually HAVE 2nd recovery and cwm installed. As soon as you can see the blue led, just press the volume - button. Now ur on bootmenu, choose " RECOVERY" than "custom recovery" and now you should be on clockworkmod recovery. Here you can easily wipe anything you want. But its still weird that you can see the blue led after flashing a full stock sbf by RSd lite. Coz after such a process the custom recovery and bootmenu should be deleted. I guess you haven't flashed correctly. Plz do it again, and don't ask for a How-to!...no, no, I'm not House M.D. ...

I dont know what happened exactly, probably phone reset itself during flashing and that is why I had strange problems.
During charging using "Mcguier" method I bend one pin on battery so tel was resetting itself because of that. Small wrong movement and bam...
Thanks evrebody for reply...

Reflash again using the RSD lite then try to apply the custom rom again

ahh Sh**!

I have stable CM7 installed. What I did just now is installed SndInitDefy_2.0.apk (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212)
Installed the stable .0.6 version of boot menu I think its called and rebooted in bootmenu and uninstalled the bootmenu. Now I'm stuck on the Google logo. Did I do something stupid? any fixes?

i did the same thing... stupid idea, don't know why but, it just got stucked
i have cm7 rom on the sd card, in case of something goes wrong
then i re-flash cm7 and try to install 2nd, it worked
i thing you need to unmark the usb debug and it will boot normaly >> (I think) <<

hmm I'm stuck with the Google logo when I power on, led light does nott flash either, is it bricked? If I press and hold the down vol key I get the caution sign.

Warfighter
i know it may have other ways to fix your defy
but try flash a stock sbf, i'm sure it will fix your problem
that caution sign is from the bootloader, you need to hold vol. up and down and it will enter on recovery
i recomend try to flash the stock sbf, since your defy enter in the stock bootloader it didn't have installed 2nd init
:/

looking at rds lite as we speak... did that I cant get in to recovery at all.

oops got it in system recovery now

hmm, you will flash the stock sbf?
you know, you can search in the forum, see if there is any thread that can help you, i just offer the easiest way
if you do, tell me if it worked or not

I have CMW backup of my cm7, can I apply it from this android system recovery? only option usefully in there is seems is the 'apply sdcard:update.zip'

I'm not sure yet, I may have to, downloading one right now.

you would have to use "choose a zip from sdcard"
look for that option, but I think that you can't apply from the stock system recovery,
just by 2nd init :S

back on stock rom now, I need to root and restore my cm7 rom
thanks dude.

Is my MB526 bricked?

Was running CM10-20120804-NIGHTLY-mb526 successfully, but having some performance issues, by following this process:
1) Go to Stable Recovery.
2) Wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and go to advanced ► Wipe dalvik.
3) Go to Install zip from sdcard ► Choose zip from sd card.
4) Flash gb Kernel (JUST FOR DEFY RED LENS USERS).
5) Flash CM10-2012xxxx-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip.
6) Flash Gapps and Battery fix for red lens.
7) Wipe Cache and Dalvik again (recommended).
8) Restart.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1795647)
I only thing I hadn't done was flash the gb Kernel, so I thought I'd try that to ensure I followed the full process. I received advice to reinstall this kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed.zip.
However, after following to above steps, this time with the mentioned kernel, I get this error:
Bootloader
09.10
Err:A5,70,00,23
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Now I'm panicking!! When I turn on the phone, it doesn't even get to the second Motorola logo screen where you can enter recovery mode. Was this an incorrect kernel? Any idea how to fix this? BTW, I'm now at work and have no USB cable.
Really worried I've bricked it by installing the incorrect kernel...
EDIT: I've also tried entering recovery from Vol- and Power, but to no avail
I'm hoping that maybe RSD Lite can fix this, but not sure what kernel to flash. I think originally I might have flashed this kernel kernel-froyo-222-179-4-signed after using SuperOneClick, but can't be sure.
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Try by reinstalling stock firmware using oem tool/software.

Do you have a link for these please?

Defy+ users need not flash any kernel to get cm9 or cm10 working. Flashing the kernel will cause this error.

Flash your stock SBF back. You can find your stock ROM SBFs here:

I see no stock Telstra Australia SBF there. I was also of the belief that I couldn't go back to stock with a Defy+.

I can see some SBF for AU. Try flashing that. I cannot guarantee anything though.

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...3C_USAJRDNGIBRANZ_P021_A030_Service1FF.sbf.gz
Try the 1321 version first as it is BL6 and easily rootable. If that too gives bootloader error then probably you are on BL7 and the second one is the only way out.

Tried downloading those a few times, but they seem to be corrupt.
Any other SBFs worth trying other than JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf which doesn't seem to work? Everything seems fine when using it in RSD, and it says it's passed, but then the phone simply won't power up. Any ideas?

If it doesn't power up after flashing SBF, try this:
1. Remove battery.
2. Keep the vol - pressed and then insert battery.
3. Then press the power button, keeping the vol- pressed.
4. You should see a triangle logo with exclamation mark, that's the stock recovery.
5. Press vol+ and Vol- key together to get various options.
6. Try wiping data and cache/factory reset.

No good - phone won't turn on at all, nothing but black screen

Ok. Try the same procedure but with vol+ instead till step 3, to get onto bootloader mode. Then try flashing the SBF again.

Finally back up and running
Flashed this ROM http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...3C_USAJRDNGIBRANZ_P021_A030_Service1FF.sbf.gz and it worked!
Thanks for all your help people
