Hi Guys!
Please help! A couple a days ago, I tried to update de Radio Rom to 1:15:00 on my Siemens Sx66. All went fine untill the phone got stuck in the Boot Loader mode displaying USB (or Serial if disconnected from the cradle) and V 2.07. I removed the main battery and the sim card let it "rest" for ....two days now. Every 6-8 hours I checked to see if it works by connecting the battery for no more than 4-5 seconds.
Please help! How can I get it out of this boot loader mode??
Costin
Press power button and reset button at the same time
I tried
I tried. Is not working!.

If its in bootloader and you cant get it out try:
Taking out the battery overnight so that the backup battery dies.
Reflash the radio with one you know that works.
Bootloader
First, thanks for replying to me!
I tried leaving the phone with the battery disconnected. Is been like that for the last 3 days. Every time I connect it for few seconds just to check if it works......I can see the same think on the screen : Serial V 2.07. It seems is stuck in the boot loader. Any idea how to get it out of that so I can upload a Radio ROM version that works?
Do you guys know any software that will communicate with the craddled phone while in Bootloader mode?
Costin
You have not mentioned if you have tried to refalsh it (or have I sugest that before)
Reflash
Yes, I tried to upgrade the Radio Rom from 1:13:00 to 1:15:00 and it got stuck in the bootloader mode.

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?
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

hey omneon are you able to solve your problem..plz help me man mine defy is stuck on m logo. same problem like your..
I am currently trying to fix a friend's Xperia Play r800a. It seems to be having a few different problems and together they are making it all difficult to get it going again. First off I have no real knowledge of toying with an Android phone. I browsed some threads on here, used Google and tried to use Flashtool to get the original operating system on it but all were a no go. I'll try and describe the problems to the best of my abilities and maybe someone can offer some help.
This is what I know from what he remembers he did to the phone. He said that the phone started t only boot to the Sony logo and then it would hang until the battery died or the phone was reset. If plugged in with a wall charger then it would allow him to get to the screen where he would enter his password but the touch screen wouldn't work. He then flashed it using Flashtool and at that point it would boot to a black screen and that's it.
-It hangs on a black screen, no logo or anything is present and it happens regardless of whether it is plugged into a wall charger or not.
-It is not found when plugged into the USB port (Windows 7 PC) and shows up as an unknown device. After a few minutes it is found by the PC but sometimes will randomly go back to an unknown device.
-I sometimes get a red light which blinks three times when I press the power button on the phone. I am currently charging it to see if it was a matter of being a dead battery or something worse (I heard it could be a hardware failure).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
My Xperia Play has done This I asked a Mate (Jinx13) He said Il do a hardcore Testpoint process. After I have done this My Phone will Vibrate and Nothing I was Playing Rayman today and it Locks and Hardware Keys Do Not respond.
Then Touchscreen Stopped Working. Indeed This is a Hardware Failure I have got this and Re-Flashing with Blinking SETOOL2 and Resseting it Wouldn't work. I Then Re-Locked By fastboot SIM and Bootloader (Maintained DRM) and Now Dowloading R800i O2-UK From SETOOL Support and 3-UK one and I will Upload them for US people for Warranty they Become indeed handy . I now Am Going to O2 shop I was Running 2.3.4 .42 GENERIC.But I am Not allowed to Give you the FW's Only by Re-Uploading I Can. Anyway My Brave Soldier Died (Hardware Failure) Its the Screen Components.Im Not Rooted anymore and Re-locked with S1-Tool.
If this happens to you My advice is Dont Flash Alpha ROM's They can make Your device Coo Coo. And OC can Damage.
Basically I boot My phone with a 3600MAH Mugen Battery 89% Battery From the Last time It was on. Im afraid your friends Phone is Dead Maybe a Hardware Failure Most Likly and I am now Officialy Out of the Game.
But O2 Gave me 3 Year warranty!!!!! For £100 When I Purchased it. So I am Going to O2 in Stevenage and Say this What actually happend:
"I Purchased My Xperia Play on August 17th Through Online Store ; I have never had a Problem With My device Untill This week : I have had these Issues:
*Touchscreen Wont respond Cleaned Several Times.
*Random Reboots
*Red Light when Phone had 50%+ Battery
*Would Take 6 Battery Pulls to Turn on (Would Only turn on Earlier during the week)
*Lagged In games.
*Running O2 Branded Software
*No Screen Brightness or Signs of Working Screen.
*Would Not charge Unless turned On
*Camera Would Not work Unless Wifi Was not on I dont know why?
So Basically This Phone had a A fault since Day one I always had Camera Fails.

okay lol i don't know if that second post helped but is the phone unlocked? by any chance if it is, you can never really brick your xperia, from experience i kept flashing re flashing cusom kernal all day i get the same loops etc, but always fixable, also flash tool should fix your phone if that is you got the right ftf file for the brand like i have verizon and it have a verizon.ftf file, other than that i need more info about the phone not how it bricked, like what was it running at first etc. Try sony software reflashing repairing if that doesn't work use flashtool and see if you get an error with that
I cant enter fastboot or recovery lol

How are you trying to get into Flashmode?
Sent from my Slider SL101
Phone is Verizon Galaxy Nexus, running the vicious jellybean build that first came out (yeah I was too lazy to install a new ROM when the first Jellybean build I got my hands on worked fine)
Alright so here's the sequence of events,
Last night - phone working just fine
When I went to look at my phone and set an alarm for when I went to sleep I noticed it was powered off. So I tried to power it on and it hanged at the Google logo. It did this for about 20 minutes, and then I pulled the battery and tried again. This time I left it at the Google logo bootscreen over night (plugged in). Note: I'm not sure if it was bootlooping or hanging at this point, I don't remember it vibrating)
I'm awaken in the morning by the sound of my phone vibrating every 10 seconds. I look at my phone and it's at the unlock screen but the only things I can do are emergency call and, strangely, it asks me to enter a password to decrypt my phone. I never encrypted it. I started freaking out, at this point I probably should of started Googling for a default password or something, but in my morning stupor I rebooted the phone and it just bootlooped on me.
I got into CWM recovery, looked for a NANDROID backup but it kept telling me sdcard wasn't mounted, and attempting to mount it failed. I'm not seriously scared.
Reboot back in to CWM recovery to see if anything changes. Nope.
I Google this problem and land on this page. (I guess I can't post links, but it tells me I just have to reflash CWM) I think, "oh, I just have to reflash CWM. Not too hard!
I downloaded the GN toolkit and update to the latest CWM touch.
Attempted to reboot phone - nothing happens. All buttons unresponsive, no battery shows up when trying to charge. My laptop doesn't find it.
More Googling. I land on this page (link removed - GSM forums for legija's .bat unbrick fix thing), so I try plugging in my phone to my laptop without the battery, sure enough I see the OMAP 4460 device attempting to install. I follow the instructions and install the OMAP drivers, but when I plug in my phone it acts as if its being unplugged and replugged back in constantly. It won't stay connected for more than 3 or 4 seconds without reconnecting, so any attempts to try and use the .bat file fail
And so that's where I am. I have my phone plugged in right now incase for some reason it isn't charged, but I'm stuck. I hope I gave enough information for anyone to help me, thanks!

some also have had this issue "It won't stay connected for more than 3 or 4 seconds without reconnecting, so any attempts to try and use the .bat file fail"
but no, they've managed to do it in the end, it's just that you have to be ultra-quick
can you still get in fastboot/bootloader? if yes, flash latest twrp (i'm sure it supports encryption); if after flashing twrp it still doesn't work, flash google stock images by following the procedure here
Thought I should update this in case anyone else manages to hard-brick their phone, but I sent it in to Samsung and they replaced the entire mobo under warranty. I think they either didn't care or it was bricked enough where they couldn't tell I rooted it. Also good side effect of fixing the finicky USB port on my phone. Happy ending!
Hello
Ok so here we are, I've explored the forum deeply to search for a solution for this, but it's always the same thing for every topic: Nothing works, the author apparently just gives up and let his topic go away, and in the better case get his phone replaced, but I travel and for some reason there is no LG support around my current city. So I told myself: "Why don't I create my own topic ? Maybe this one will be the one ?"
I bought my phone about 4-5 months ago
My phone is stuck in a boot loop, the logo would just appear 2 seconds, disappear 2 secs, reappear and so on before eventually running out of battery and shutdown. At first it started with some random annoying shutdowns when I use it, but now it has got worse. I can only use it when it's plugged. I've tried every single solution found on the web, nothing works. All of this happened since the last firmware update I did from the settings, it is now on lollipop 5.0 20h-ESA-XXX
I came here so maybe I can downgrade or install a custom ROM, because I haven't tried that yet. But there is more:
My PC won't recognize my phone, it just says that the device is not working properly, but I can charge and use it while it is plugged
Tried other computers, it would just disconnect and reconnect again and again. i tried different cables, same thing. Can't use it. Instead would just shutdown and start charging. That problem may come from the drivers that won't install properly because it is said that the MTP USB Device: Failed
Finally, I tried rooting from the phone and without a computer. Kingroot doesn't work, Stumproot doesn't work and anything else won't work either
Sometimes I feel like I am about to throw my LG against a wall.
Please, can anybody help me fixing this ?
