I have the same problem this guy have:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036327
But no one in the thread was able to understand him, so I'm trying to open a new thread to organize the thoughts (there are too many people with too many problems posting there).
What happened:
I have a 1-month-old Defy. On the 2nd day I already had it rooted, running froyo (with Pays ROM), overclocked, undervolted and all this stuff. Three days ago, suddenly, it started to FC apps randomly. So I wiped. Then it became stuck on M logo. No big deal.
I tried then to reflash the SBF via RSDLite, but for some reason I only had the previous SBF (3.4.2-155-2) and my phone was running on 3.4.3-11. Don't know if it has downgradeability issues, but I couldn't flash it. It threw some checksum errors in the process and wasn't able to finish the process. Then my phone became "Code Corrupt". I was still able to see it in RSDLite. No big deal.
I didn't know the battery wouldn't charge in the bootloader screen, so I quickly ran into a "Battery Low / Cannot Program" state. It was written in the screen what happened. I knew what I had to do. No big deal.
I read about the MacGyver method, but prefered instead to use a universal charger to charge my battery. Was charging all night, seem to work on other defy (tested it later). But, now, my phone makes no response to battery insertion. Not even power+vol up, nothing. No white led, no bootloader, no code corrupt, no nothing. Ok, that's a big deal.
If I connect it to USB, nothing happens. No driver instalation, no device recognized, no RSDLite, no bootloader, no white led. Nothing.
The only response I have from the phone is: if I pull the battery and put it again while connected to USB, the computer will make an USB connection sound, then 2 seconds later, it makes an USB disconnection sound. If I open the device manager, it shows the Motorola Device for 2 seconds (OMAP something) and then it desapears. So I'm not able to see it in RSDLite.
I tried even to power up the phone with the MacGyver-crafted USB cable (with and without battery inserted together), but the computer response is the same. That is the only thing that makes me believe that my Defy isn't entirely dead. But isn't much useful after all.
Hope I explained it well. I'm one of those guys who doesn't speak english well, so I hope you guys understand me . Thanks in advance.
I would really like to be helpful, but it looks, that you tried everything. Only one thing. Try to check the battery voltage and if you can, try another battery in your phone. The charger could broke your battery, even if it one time worked in another phone.
Try reinstall usb drivers, rsdlite, different usb port, and different pc.
@peetr_
The battery seems to still work, as putting it in the phone makes it to be recognized (for 2 seconds) on the PC. Also, the phone seems to get a little warm while with the battery.
@ABC_Universal
I tried. Installed all the drivers in another PC I have here and tried the same methods I said before. Same results.
If you're planning to dumb the phone into a dumb site.. let me know when and where...
Ok... you need to narrow down the possibility here by putting another full charged battery and see if the phone do get connected status via PC. External charger might just toast your battery if you read carefully your entire story back starting from this line "I didn't know the battery wouldn't charge in the bootloader screen, so I quickly ran into a "Battery Low / Cannot Program" state. It was written in the screen what happened. I knew what I had to do. No big deal."
External charger might giving out totally different voltage/current rating from the defy own charger.
im having the same issue, did you solve it?

try putting a different Defy's battery, doesn't work just give it for RMA... you'll get a replacement. looks like a hardware problem to me...
You have tried the McGyver-trick?
I tried using another battery in it and didn't work. I was far from a computer when I tried, so I didn't check if I was able to connect it to PC (even if the screen was totally black). But if it was a battery problem, I was expecting at least the bootloader to appear, but still nothing happened.
I took it to RMA two weeks ago. Here in Brazil they take too long to return it =/. Still waiting.
skattegat: I tried. With and without battery inserted together. Both cases, I was only able to listen the USB connection start and end, 2 seconds later. I know the cable was working because even without battery, when I touch the wires, I was able to listen the usb connection sound.
Ok. At least you have the time now to enjoy your sunny weather in Brazil...
RSD lite sucks... Well it doesn't suck but it refuses to work anymore no matter what I do!
Use sbf_flash in linux and it should do the trick! PM me if you need help
First flash the sbf. Then enter stock recovery and do the recovery from there. Flashing does not wipe cache. But after the flash the recovery will do the wipe automaticly.

Just a follow up:
My phone returned today from the warranty. Is fully working now, but I noticed the IMEI has changed. So I guess they changed the entire circuit.
It's not helpful for those who have the same problem, but I'm happy again
i have problem too..
I made a mistake in ROM CM7: I "install the 2nd init". and the results stuck on the boot logo .. : (
I finally went into the boot loader, then flash again use 3.4.2_177 SBF-005_NORDIC (do not wipe the data) .. remain stuck at the boot logo. and I try to use flash SBF-Stock.UKTmobile 3.4.3_11 (not wipe the data) and the results .... still stuck>> it's just an animated logo appears only.
AND THEN ---------------------------------
for this case:
I want to get into stock recovery:
1. defy turn off, turn the power button + volume down (hold a while)
2. logo appears>> android +! (the menu does not appear anything)
3. and I do not know anymore what should I do: (
please help me Quarx
thanks before
Don't see why you should ask the same question in multiple topics. My answer still is the same:
If pushing the lower right corner doesn't do the trick, try instead pushing both volume buttons at the same moment. Worked for me

You can see on my post title, my device just brick (bootloop) suddenly when I used it. Oke I think my phone just need to flash. First condition (when bootloop) when I charge it and battery indicator will show up. Oke then I flash it, BUT when I flash it always failed in "proccesing fota-reset.ta", I was used newest flashtool. Then I try to charge my phone, BUT now battery indicator not show up. After a few minute battery indicator show up, it take a long time then usually.
Any suggestions?
Thx before
I face same problem with you. How you fix that?
Same problem here. How did you fix it?
Hi All,
I tried downgrading the G3221 to Nougat as the Oreo update was slow as ****...
I used flashtool and then it came up with an error, I unplugged my device and tried restarting it like it said and BAM!
It didn't boot.
It doesn't boot into fastboot and flashmode either.
Can someone help me please? It's urgent, my mum's quite angry and I can't buy a new phone, plus this was a birthday present and the first decent phone I ever got.
Thanks
P.S. the charging LED still shows when plugged in so I guess there is some form of life in this?
check my threat under urs, same problem. u cant fix it urself and its not green charcing led.
