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?

Defy not working :(

Hello everyone,
first of all,I want to thank all those involved in this forums.
I'm here trying to have a solution for my defy..I bought it 1 week ago and I used it only the first day!!
My friend told me that I can upgrade android to 2.3,and I can get more apps with 2.3,so he tried to upgrade it but it didn't work.
once I turn on the device,Motorola Logo appear,then Galnet MIUI appear,and it loops unlimited times,it load for 4 seconds then loop again..
after..I told the person who made the video "how to upgrade to 2.3" about my problem..he recommended me to flash by RSD Lite and 3.4.3_11-Stock.UKTmobile_BLUR.sbf ,and then I did everything as he told me but it didn't work..this time I get White Motorola logo with Blur word and it loops unlimited time.
then I flashed again but this time I replaced the sbf file with "JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1.1.sbf",also it didn't work..this time I get Red Motorola Logo then ANDROID word.it seems to be loop.
I don't know whats wrong,can someone tell me how exactly to flash ?
Because when the program says Please Manually Power up this Phone..idk what to do,it's already on!!so I remove the battery then I power up.
help me please I was happy with 2.2,can I get my defy back to 2.2 just like when I bought it??
my english bad sorry
thanks a lot,

Boot into stock recovery and wipe data / cache. Then flash again any 2.2.2 sbf file. To update into stock gingerbread, your phone must have custom recovery to perform the nandroid restore follow with flashing fixed sbf.

Thanks a lot for replying,
Please excuse me iam really noob
I used to boot into stock recovery by Pressing [Volume Down] when i see Blue Led Light,but it doesn't work any more,help plz.

UP T_T,Please help.

The blue led light is the 2nd-init sequence to enter into custom boot menu.
It definitely gone when you flash another full sbf. But then you have the stock recovery to perform the full wipe.
Booting into stock: Start up phone and press vol- until android logo and follow with pressing vol- and vol+. Now you should be in stock recovery. Do the full factory wipe here.
Next boot into bootloader: Start up phone and press vol+ until you see bootloader screen. Don't worry anything stating in this screen.
Next flash your phone to froyo 2.2.2 sbf. If it still failed. You need to use another Rsdlite version or flash with another PC. It happen alot of peoples having flashing issue which is cause by incompatible PC.(Dont ask me why).
Make sure battery is in good state before flashing.

THanks a lot,I used differant farmware and it works!
thanks farsight73,

Can you access 2ndinit or Stock recovery by pressing both the volume key when blue light flashes??
I'm sure you can access Boot loader. If recovery not working then you may flash your phone with Froyo SBF using RSD lite.

Install RSDLite on your PC. Use WinRAR or 7zip to decompress the. gz file you downloaded (there is an sbf file inside - the clean Froyo firmware you want to flash - and save it somewhere.
Take your Defy and press the power and volume up button and release after some seconds so that you enter the bootloader mode (you see some white text on black ground).
Connect the phone via USB with your PC with RSDLite running.
In RSDLite click the button with the three dots and open the sbf file you extracted.
Hit the start button. Now it starts flashing the firmware, takes a couple of minutes.
When it's done the phone reboots and is running a Motorola Froyo firmware (not rooted or something, it can't really be called a ROM). If you want you can root, install CWM again etc and put your ROM in it again.
Almost always when your Defy is doesn't boot anymore or is somehow broken softwarewise, you can use this method to repair it.

thank you for your time.

If you want the recovery menu you need to install 2ndinit. http://goo.gl/5P89P
Open the app and install the recovery menu with it, then reboot (some say it is safer to reboot even two times). You get the blue LED after powering the phone on, you have to press volume down then. There you can get to the custom recovery and wipe data, cache, install zips from SD etc.

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.

That's normal. Press volume up + volume down on that screen to access the stock recovery. You'll probably need to wipe data/factory reset in that menu to fix the boot error.

it might occured because I don't have enough battery?
phone just died because the lack of it :\
I'll try that later when I'll have abit of precentage on my battery

thanks! that did the trick for me

Perhaps you are forgetting that our phone have a locked bootloader.

No but when I update from eclir to froyo via motorola the kernel was netfilter but when I flash cm7 kernel I missed this feature

Actually, there is nothing called CM7 kernel or CM9 kernel. It's just stock kernel extracted from various SBF version that works best with CM7 or CM9. Nothing can be done afaik.
