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.

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. ...
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

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

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
Sent from my MB525 using xda app-developers app

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.
