Okay so here's what happened. I unlocked my device just fine, and attempted to install a ROM, didn't work, So i decide I'm going to try to install cyanogenmod. I go this (wikiDOTcyanogenmodDOTORG/w/Install_CM_for_a5 )wiki tutorial [/URL] and I attempt to flash clockworkmod recovery via this link (builderDOTunstableappsDOTCOM/#/latest/clockworkmodrecovery/a5) When i flash, it installs. But then upon booting I get the app for developement only screen, and it's stuck showing my battery charge screen, with the orange charge light. Anyways I can't boot using the power down volume combo. I'm currently waiting on the battery to die so I can reflash the stock recovery, because fastboot won't recognize the device when I plug it in, even though my computer makes the device connected tone. So should I just wait until the battery dies? Or is there something else I can do?
Any help will be appreciated, thanks
Solved
I actually solved my problem. I waited for the phone to die, powered it on normally. Then to reset the device and held the power and up button as soon as the screen went black hit down on the volume and got into my bootloader.

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

OK.
I will put in a detailed info about what happened.
A week back, my wildfire's touchscreen started to function abnormally.
I was rooted and on Cyanogenmod 7.0.3
So, I flashed the phone with DK custom FROYO to make it look like sense so that the warranty is not void and took it to the HTC store.
They replaced the touchscreen for a flat fee (It was water damage according to them. But the phone was never used in wet conditions nor exposed to water)
But anyway, the phone was working fine when I brought it home from their store.
Then I flashed CM7.0.3 again.
And everything was working fine.
I OCed acc. to CM's settings to 652-352 Mhz.
And left the phone to charge in charger overnight.
When I woke up, the phone was off and there was just the red LED light blinking.
I tried to boot it again, but nothing works.
Pressing the power button does not do anything.
The phone still boots into recovery. At times.
I don't know what makes it boot into recovery. But at times it does, at times it doesn't. (Right now it's not booting into recovery no matter what I do)
Just the red LED keeps on blinking.
Please help.
I am not familiar with pushing commands onto the wildfire since I use a mac.
Please suggest any methods. If they involve using command line, I can use my windows PC for that. But please give a how-to of length enough for a noob ) ) to understand.
Thank you.
Pulz
EDIT :
I got to boot into recovery once. Tried to reflash CM7.0.3
It came to "Installing update" and then failed to go further.
Tried to install DK Custom Froyo 4.5
And it went to opening package and then failed to go further.
Now entering into a panic mode !
Red light blinking generally occurs when phone is hot and plugged in to wall socket. Is it so at that time ?
Unplug the charger or usb. Remove the battery and reinstall the battery. Try to boot into hboot mode (volume down + power) or fastboot mode (trackpad + power) . If your phone can boot into hboot/fastboot mode and has no restarts or power offs, then I think you can solve it.
Try to clear storage from hboot menu. Or factory reset from recovery once you enter it. If still it is not solved, try using "pc49img" method of flashing an RUU from the hboot menu. Hope it helps. Shouldn't help if there is hardware issue.

so help me if someone have the similiar problem and solutions.. thanks!!
Accidentally allowed the battery to drain too low... At first the device would boot up just fine and would get to the OS then shut off. So I downloaded the updated FFF 1.4A.zip flashable bootloader, placed it on the device and was about to install it, in hopes of alleviating this issue, but the device shut off after the file transfer, before I could flash it, and now it will not turn back on.
I'm running this bootloader - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615093 ...
As I said, it won't even turn on (no green light) when I push the button at this point.
When I plug it into the USB cable and/or the wall-charger, the "FIREFIREFIRE Extended Bootloader" screen and the green light just flashes over and over...
Any ideas?
If I could just get it to STOP FLASHING the bootloader screen and get into recovery I have "fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip" waiting to be flashed...
I had put that file on the device to fix this problem but it shut off on me right after the transfer and it has been flashing the bootloader screen since then...
All I need is to get into recovery!!!!! ARGH!!
I have read from the experts, that you should plug it in, hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds (this makes sure it is off) and let it charge for a couple of hours.

Yea... I've tried that... However, no matter what I plug it into, USB cable or stock "wall-charger", the bootloader screen just flashes. The power button is unresponsive during this. Holding it down does nothing...
I'm hoping to avoid having to do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1806620&highlight=battery+dead
But I'm preparing for this last resort as it's becoming increasingly clear that this may be necessary.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Problem solved, new bootloader installed!
For some strange reason the bootloader screen stopped flashing after I decided to try plugging it into the stock wall charger again. It stopped flashing and allowed me to access recovery. I unplugged it and it stayed on long enough for me to install the new bootloader...
All is now good. What is strange however is the bootloader didn't stop the boot process. She booted up right into the OS and stayed on. I plugged it in, navigated to Settings > Battery and it is charging!
VERY WEIRD but very cool!
So for those of you having issues with charging, it's absolutely necessary to have FFF 1.4A bootloader installed! If you cannot get into recovery or the device will not turn on, just keep trying the stock wall charger. Just plug it in and keep plugging it in. Keep on messing with it. Eventually, somehow, it will take enough of a charge to get you into recovery...
Hi,
I can't get my tablet (G Pad 8.3) to turn on. It has TWRP recovery on it but there doesn't seem to be any life in the tablet to get into recovery.
I flashed fishears custom kernel and the tablet was working fine, I rebooted it and it started to loop and then just seemed to die on me.
I think I've tried download mode (both volume buttons) but can't get into that either.
I've tried the hold power button for 20 seconds then plug a charger in trick but nothing there either.
Before this happened the tablet had 50% battery so it wasn't really all that low.
Any ideas?
Thanks
hardbrick man, try fix http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/help/how-recovered-lg-g-pad-detected-t3207079
Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.
I've got some tools coming tomorrow so I can open the tablet up, hoping a simple battery unplug might revive it! Hmm, I'm guessing my tablet has a hardware problem as it is not showing up at all in device manager.

Charge device all day, you try fix link up
I do not seem to be having any luck with this tablet. I re-installed the stock rom and now I am in an endless boot loop. The LG logo comes up and then the screen goes off then it comes back on again with the logo then off again. No amount of button pressing or sequences will load recovery.
I can't get the bloody thing in the download mode either. I'm holing both volume buttons then plugging in but it does nothing. I've tried volume up and power and nothing. Any ideas how can I sort this, as there is life in it it just won't respond to anything?
Thanks
HI guys,
Hoping you guys can help me. I have a HTC One X I picked up 2nd hand (apparently wouldn't charge). When I received it, I cleaned out the USB port (little bit of fluff) and plugged it into the charger... no light (expected).. I left it on and shortly after, a solid red light appeared..
After a little while on charge, the phone turned itself on but stayed on the 'HTC' splash screen and went no further. I tried powering it off completely so it would charge without draining battery or slowing the charge because the phone was on.. but every-time I tried turning it off (either holding Power button for several seconds until screen went black... or holding Vol Down + Power button for 10sec as some suggested) the phone would just reboot back to the HTC logo splash screen and stay there.
Eventually I got the screen off (not sure how) and continued to charge, then it came back on again... :/
I tried to boot into the 'Bootloader' to Factory Reset etc.. but I am unable to do so. Every-time I try, the phone would just reset back to the HTC screen.. even if I kept the Vol Down + Power button held down, the phone would just loop to that HTC screen...
As I type this, the phone is sitting, plugged in, Red LED Light Solid lit but phone on (stuck on HTC screen)... just wondering if anyone has any tips ?
Is it possible to reset the phone via ADB if I can't get into the Bootloader ?
Thanks in advance..
UPDATE: Somehow I managed to boot into the Bootloader, and by the looks of it, the previous owner rooted the phone as it have CWM v5.8.4.0 installed. Wiping Cashe, data, factory reset, Dalvick cache etc.. still no change, sits on the HTC splash screen.
i did notice in the Bootloader though, it said the battery was too low to flash .. so I guess I have to leave it on charge for longer to try flash the phone again (maybe previous owner borked the ROM installation or something?)... unless is there anything else I can do? Maybe with ADB ?
Mods, can you please delete this thread.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
