defy bricked

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

[HELP] Battery Dead, Boot problems...

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...

Tablet won't turn on - HELP

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

(SOLVED) Screen doesn't turns on after flashing a rom

Hello, after dirty flashing Jaguar 8.1 latest version I've noticed the battery indicator wouldn't decrease, stuck at 98%. So I did a reset, and after that the screen didn't turn on anymore. Tried keeping power pressed, vol + or - and power, nothing would produce a thing... No vibrate, no led indicator, nothing. The only think working is Windows making that noise when you connect a device to usb (phone cable). I've tried re-flashing stock rom with qfil and it worked (it seems the phone is in the download mode for recovery), but nothing changed, screen still doesn't pop up... I am desperate, since I've tought that after a QFIL flash there was no way it wouldn't come back to live... but it didn't !!!!
Any help is welcome!

SOLVED: opened the back cover and disconnected the battery. Now I will have to reinstall everything just because of this damn bug... I really hate this... but at least I didn't loose my phone.

Need to fix a completely wiped phone

I just wiped my phone with TWRP using the "advanced" settings and ticked everything. Obviously not a good idea as I think I have wiped everything including the ROM from my phone. Any idea how to get it going again? It just goes to the "Sony Xperia" screen and stays there when booting. I'm not sure how to get back into TWRP (i used to get there from a utilities app that restarted the phone into recovery). I have TWRP backup on my computer before I did the stupid thing...
Thanks for any help!

I've tried to flash from Emma and and Xperia Companion but I can't enter Flashmode (hold the volume down button and connect to computer). It just automatically turns on and shows the Sony/Xperia screen and the LED is solid RED.
I let it run down over night and still unable to enter Flashmode.
I assume TWRP is still there as it was the program that wiped the phone. Any ideas how I can get into TWRP?
The computer does not recognise the phone either. It was rooted and had an unlocked bootloader before it happened.
Thanks!

Hold power down and press power button. Release power button when phone vibrates but keep holding vol down until you see twrp logo. If you don't see it after maybe 10 seconds. If nothing happens you can try pressing power button and when you see led light keep pressing or holding (try both) vol down. If that doesn't work then you can try flashing with flashtool. You can check my thread for downloads and instructions

In sim card slot there is a small red button. Hold it down with toothpick or paper clip until you feel three vibrations. That will shut off your phone.
Now you can try Flashtool or Emma.

Thanks so far ... here is an update.
After letting it run down overnight it eventually let me get it into flashmode. Xperia Companion doesn't work (unlocked) but Emma is trying to work. It has taken a few hours to download the software as the phone only stays in flashmode for about 30 seconds but it was able to eventually download the software. Now it is trying to load it but it gets to 11% and the phone goes out of flashmode (but automatically re enters it without me doing anything) and the cycle continues. Is there any way to force it to stay in flashmode?
I've tried the suggestions above to get to TWRP but nothing seems to work.

I can think of 2 reasons. Either emma is broken (never used it, can't tell) or your connection to pc gets interrupted by bad cable or broken connector. Why don't you try flashtool instead of emma?

Silly question, but did you recharge your battery after letting it run overnight?

I wiped whole storage few times as he did (Without letting it run overnight tho) and you can't charge your battery without system or recovery. If your battery drains in this situation you are SOL

yeah I think that is my problem. The phone won't charge and that's why it only stays on for 30 seconds before losing connection.

Can I charge the battery out of the phone? I know it a pain to pull out ... but I've done it before as it needs changing every 12 mths or so.

Not sure about that. I mean there has to be a way to charge it outside phone but you would need special equipment since you can't just use random charger. Since you said you charged your batteries before you could try to use one of them and hope that they have charge in them for flashing. I saw that @munjeni has a lot of experience with this phones hardware so you could try and contact him and ask if he knows about contact points on motherboard for charging

Ok. Got it going again eventually. Not sure exactly what I did that made it work but FYI these are the things that I did that seemed to help:
Charged it on my ASUS tablet charger today - seemed to do a better job than the other charger I was using (it was a Nokia). It seems to hold a very small charge but was not charging the battery properly. Hooked it up to Emma which had already managed to download the software and put the phone under my laptop (trying to warm the battery to squeeze everything our of it). 355 seconds later it had copied the software and the phone was able to turn on normally again. The phone was getting to about 60% of the software copied across before I used the ASUS charger and the heating the phone technique.
BTW I couldn't get flashtool to work. It recognised the phone but stopped saying USB debugging was off.
Thanks for everyones help!!
