Defy doesn't boot - Defy General

Hello all
Today i've got a problem:
My defy boot but it stops at the red "M" of Motorola.
I tried to flash a new rom with rsdlite but the defy isn't recognize in bootloader.
The "wipe data" return an error => error mouting /data!
Am I totally ****ed ?
Thx

Wipe data should work, try to install the last version of drivers and install another rom, and pray.

First of all, did you flashed a SBF before the phone stuck on M??, if yes, try wiping data on stock recovery, are entering properly to the booloader mode??(POWER + VOL +)

First , thx.
I tried the wipe data but apparently, the "data" doesn't exist or the phone doesn't get the permission to wipe it => "error moutin /data!"
I tried to flash a new rom by "VOLUM UP + POWER" but rsd lite 5.3.1 or 5.6 don't recognize the phone. I've got the drivers.
EDIT: And in the stock recovery the wipe data works but do nothing.

I have the same problem and what i did!
1) pull out the battery and put it back(and let it of)(must be charged)
2)start rsdLite4.9
3)sellect the sbf(with shorter name)
4)conect the phone in of mode (rsd recognize like xxxx3630)
5)start the instalation
(I use ...3.4.2_179-002 and it works great any time)
instalation works good and the phone starts it self

Ok I'll try that, but before the phone doesn't start, I had charging problems and the phone wasn't recognize in USB. So I think this won't do anything.
I try it

charge in other phone!
or use McGuyver method!:
find other charger, cut the head and you will see 2 wires
oue red and one black, red is +pole, black is -pole
pull out the battery and conect red to +pole on battery and black to -pole
let it for two hours to charge(can try after one hour)
then try to flash SBF!

Ok.
What do you mean by "connect the phone if on mode" ?

Ised "of mode"
means it is stopt
just put the battery in the phone and conect without start it in botloader

Ok thx but when I connect it the phone starts and goes to the "M" and isn't detected :s

start in botloader mode if you can! (volup+power)
Give it first "wipe data factory reset" from recovery stock
try to see if it start normaly with old SBF olready flashed
if not, start in botloadermode and flash SBF

It doesn't start with the old sbf.
I'm waiting for the battery (charging in an other defy).
EDIT:
Not detected by rsd lite. I tried to detect an other defy with the same battery andit works well. So I think my phone is definitely dead :/ You don't think so ?

no i do not!
what sbf are you flashed
sent from "My Precious" MB525 using XDA App

Ok
I took this version : 3_3.4.2_164-003 Androïd 2.2.2
(the first of this page : http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/54848-rom-stock-android-froyo/)

try this SBF
did you chec the sdcard(could be a problem with it)
RSDlite 4.9 View attachment 894277

Yep I already format the sdcard.
Ok try this one, but does the SBF change the detection of the defy in rsd ?
EDIT: the link seems to be broken :s

my nik is yahoo id
call me

It will be a little bit difficult 'cause i'm french :s
Do you have a other link for the sbf ?

EDIT: Defy is still undetected :s

[Q] Defy keeps rebooting after showing M logo

I flashed my phone which had the new US OTA update with defy_2.21boot_only.sbf and now it keeps rebooting after 1 or 2 min (with the M logo). The phone is NOT rooted and does not have clockworkmod recovery yet. HELP!
Pull battery,
put battery back in holding the VOL-Down until the android pops up...
press VOL-Up and VOL-Down at the same time.
Next screen is for wiping and updating.
Wipe Data/Cache
When done, go to REBOOT and hold down the VOL-Up to go into Flash mode. and flash with RSD 4.9
http://www.multiupload.com/ZZ4TU8W7UQ (This is for US T-mobile.)
You should be good to go...
Thanks for your advice jeffokada81; but when loading the file, the Start button is grayed out. The only sbf file that enable the Start button is the Chinese JDGC_U6_0.26.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNPRCB1B50AA02F.0R_JORDANGCCORE_P011_A023_HWp3_Service1FF and... after flashing, the phone restarts; the screen turns black but RSD's status shows as "connected". Still need HELP!
The phone is now back in service!!!
For those of you that have the same problem, I boot my computer to Xp (rather than W7, run as Admin) RSD 4.9 flashes the file that it did not in W7. The phone is now back in service! Thanks for your quick response Jeff!
Yea, IDK why, but RSD never quite worked for me in W7 either. Maybe because Motorola still has all their employs on XP, so they have had no need to make it compatible with W7.

Could you specify which sbf did you flash?
thanks
I have no problem with RSD Lite on W7 64bit. Try reinstall or check for update.
Maybe try change SBF file name, sometimes the file name is to long for some system.

Big mistake

I formated internal memory of my defy and now is not opening I bricked the phone?
How did u format internal memory? Does the bootloader load? (vol+up while swtiching on power)
something wrong in your question...
you cant just brick your fone so easily.
just remove your battery and press & hold the vol+ button ... and insert the battery and press the power on button... do exactly the way its written ... if boot loader loads, your device is safe... we would give you the additional steps to recover.
How i formatted the internal memory? Using 2ndinit
I can`t enter in bootloader. I tried this already, but nothing. If i connect the phone without the battery, the led it lights up for a fraction of second and nothing else.
Hi, Ive got the same problem, just short LED light, thats all.
PWR+ volume +/- doesnt work...
just connect ur phone to pc and open rsd lite which will feel ur device and install sbf of foroyo..
Ive found some sbfs but it aibt working :/ do u know some working sbf? TY
did rsdlit feel ur device and show (connected) statue?
finally unbricked
found BSF here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421526

You have to hard reset. Follow the above steps mentioned and open RSD lite as administrator. If you don't install the drivers your phone wont be detected
how can i do if my RSD is not working(ie, I just spend 1s in one sbf, it tells me it passed. the other sbf are all not workable)
also, i cannot make a stock recovery in bootmenu,
please help me
Maybe this will help:

[Q] Always boots in flash mode (cannot boot normally nor fastboot)

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the second post but the first one has lost in the conversations, so I think that would be better to open a new thread.
I was using JJ's Hybrid ROM v2.4. And when i heard about sony's original ics upgrade, i decided to install the original one. I found this thread and followed the instructions. As so many have said, i have faced with flashing aborted problem. So I have unplugged the phone try to restart but nothing happened. Led flashes green (very quickly turns off) vibrates (as usually it does when starting) but nothing happens.
I have unplugged phone try to connect it via fastboot mode, but connecting usb cable while pressing menu button has no effect. Also when i connect the phone it always connects with flashing mode (like i have been pressing the back button).
I have tried to flash the other ftf files (on the first post) but nothing happens. Flashing aborts (just before that message it says flasing loaders/null.sin. I guess java application has a null string). I have tricked that changed the LTE15.sin file name to null.sin file, it passes that phase but still it is not bootable.
So is there any way to recover my phone?
Thanks a lot

Hi cptlogos:
Sorry for your problem, the only thing that i can say you is that every times i'd flash and block the cell, everytimes flashing an original tft wiht flash tools resolved the reboot issue after bad flashing, remenber for flash with flashtools, keep pressed the back button, the left one, and plug the usb cable.
Hope you can solve it.
Thanks for your reply jcgechevarria.
Actually I have achieved to some point, now i can boot my phone.
I have tried to run the FlashTool in linux (Ubuntu 12.04) and finally flashed it successfully. But now it can not read sim card. It asks me my pin number, waits for 1 minute then asks me my language, and after all it warns for no sim card.
I have tried with different ones, but no success at all.
Is this because of some kind of wrong region installation (I am living in Turkey and i flashed LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.42 Generic Global World)
So what can i do for my next step
Now you have the phone booting you can always try using pc companion To repair the phone.

I actually upgraded to ICS with pc companion
But it still gives error about sim card. It can not read it.
For now I have tried different ways to get the phone running back:
1) * I have successfully flashed LT15i 4.0.2.A.0.42 Generic Global World rom
* Rebooted, but it could not read the sim card. (all other features, such as wifi, works great)
* Then I connected phone to PC Companion, and upgraded to ICS.
* Rebooted, but again it could not read sim again.
2) * Then I have flashed LT15i 4.1.B.0.431 Generic Global World, rebooted, again it could not read sim card.
* After that I connected phone to Software Updater, re-installed system from there, rebooted, again it did not read sim card.
While trying all these methods, I could not connect phone with fastboot option (connecting phone while pressing menu button). If I could boot phone with fastboot, at least I could try to install custom kernel & rom.
Anybody has any ideas what can I do to get my phone back :/

Htc low battery, no recovery, script not working fastboot fail

hey there!
Ok so I got this problem. My phone felt to the floor like 2 weeks ago and the screen got crashed, everything else works normally, touch is ok, screen is ok, just glass is broken, after 2 days I downloaded some dota apps and it suddenly started rebooting and crashing:
By this I mean, apps stopped working and lots of pop-up messages appeared, after some reboots It stopped turning on, so I decided to root it and installed a custom ROM the one from mike, Android Revolution, this was last week, this weekend it worked fine until sunday when it got bricked because of an outdated recovery from clockwork. I managed to solve this with some help from you guys, but now again.
I flashed the android monday again with same version, it was working well until yesterday at night, it started showing some whatsapp stopped working stuff again, i rebooted it and now a bunch of window errors... reboot it again and well... no luck it stayed in the Android loading window.
After this I was trying to install the stock version ROM from mike also, and that's when it got worse.
Flashed boot and recovery OK, then rebooted and when I tried to install the ROM it just won't let me, failed unknown error, failed remote : 00030000, and other messages, now when I try to flash the recovery again it says low battery, and when I try the script to charge it it won't work, FAILED remote: unknown reason.
What can I do guys? =S (Sorry for the long post, I just don't know what could it be, and I wish by giving that much information someone can find out the reason, contacted HTC and they said it has no guarantee since I rooted and the glass is broken)
can you still access fastboot??
if you can.. then flash the latest CWM 5.8.4.0
It will allow the phone to charge.

I can but there is some weird reason that won't let me do any flash, either low battery and when it gets charged a bit (because it may charge enough sometimes) it says FAILED remote:00030000 or unknown reason.
Don't know what it could be.
I ran into the exact same problem, the charger script does not help me too (low power on usb port of pc).
Thats how I fix this:
1) disconnect original charger, let's phone die. or use shutdown in fastboot.
2) connect original charger, and wait while phone powered up (He himself off as he does not have enough battery power.). disconnect charger.
3) vol.down and hold power,choose fastboot
4) connect charger
5) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
6) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
7) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
....(do it fast)
249) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
250) choose reboot bootloader (phone will reboot in fastboot)
251) disconnect charger, choose shutdown.
252) go to PC
253) vol down, power up
254) choose fastboot
255) flash the custom recovery with power supply support
256) flash custom kernel
257) don't disconnect USB!
258) fastboot / reboot bootloader / hboot
259) recovery
260) mount USB storage
261) drop zip of custom flash to the phone
262) unmount
263) advanced / restart recovery
264) flash the zip of rom
265) restart phone and dont disturb it, at 30 minute, let hi charge.
266) disconnect USB and connect original charger (1A)
267) Have fun!
It worked but bad news... now as always I am getting the message windows, with some weird apps.
First it was htc.com.bgp or something which I found it was the weather, then whatsapp, then Personalize, pretty much everything I open stops working after a while, what can I do? This was the exact reason that brought me here in the first place. It started showing these messages and I decided to install a custom ROM, it was first stock and locked and happened, now with this Android HD ROM it is still the same.
Thanks man... i was scared like hell when i realised that by script my battery voltage didnt raise up... even worse... it became less... i was reboting bootloader for 1h, but finally it worked... now im charging it to max... then ill flash stock rom
Thanks again.
