Hi,
I'm a proud owner of the Motorola Defys and was happy until yesterday :-(
I have already read much in the forum and everything about the Defy.
My problem has already tried a post by someone :
1. Jan. 2011 ... As always, I close with my laptop to Defy the load on - but nothing happened. Only a white LED is on permanently.
Its similar in my case:
- Defy flashed with RSD (UK U3 2.1)
- RSD showed: Finished,
...but the
- Defy is not booting anymore
- LED light is white
- RSD does not recognize my Defy
- Charge the battery: Defy did not respond
- :-(
I'm desperate .. and hope to find some answears here...
Best Regards
ditto except mine actually goes through the boot pic and then loops. If I try to boot to USB cable restore (Volume up+boot) =white light. : (
hi there,
I had this after upgrading to the UK 2.5.1 and then wanting to run a 2.34 build.
If you plug the usb cable into the phone while rsdlite is active, the table below should say connected. Simply reflash the full version of 2.5.1 again and it works fine. There is then a method on the forum about gaining root access on 2.5.1. This worked fine for me and i am now running the clean 2.34 blurless rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894650 and this is superb and highly recommended.
As long as you get connected in rsdlite, dont worry your phone isnt bricked and you should have it up and running in no time at all!.
If you get really stuck, i can quite easily get mine into the "state" yours is and do a little video or document the steps for you if that helps.
Andy
ja, that means you have less voltage then you need to boot.
send it back or reload the battery, no chance of getting it up with no bootloader
*edit* me post is not related to andy fletcher, but to you two.
if ye connect the cable to load the battery, does there appear a sign of a batt with a questionmark in it?
First of all: Unplug the phone and power it off. Now hold the [Volume up] button while powering on the phone. Now you get to the bootloader. If it says battery ok, connect the USB cable and go nuts, RSD Lite will detect the phone when it's in the bootloader.
If it says "Battery Low, Cannot program", you can either send it in, hoping they'll just replace it without figuring out you have been rooting and flashing the phone. Or you can do what I did here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10264115 - Just take your time and pay attention to what your'e doing and you'll be fine
RSD cann not connect the Defy
hi Guys ...thank you for your answears...
no I can not start in bootloader ... defy is probably elsewhere ... No Booting No Recovery .. no boot loader ... only the white LED on USB
The Defy ich fully charged...and i tried to turn off take of tthe battery ...hard reset
nothings works :-(
I think i have to send it to Motorola :-(

Mine acted like the battery had collapsed, reporting "Battery Low, cannot program" after 12 straight hours of charging, but after the usb jumplead trick, the battery has been just fine. I suspect that the problem was in the phone the whole time and being force-fed 5 volts snapped it out of it. Be sure to post what happens when using another battery!
Many thanks to Sorensiim!! wow it worked! I have used the battery of my friend who is also a Defy owner ....
the problem was the black screen ..
I could not see that the Defy was hanging and my battery was too low indeed... .... I had to continue to work with screen black and start the boot loader (Volume up and power on) and then the RSD has also finally recognized my Defy.... I'm going to flash the CleanJitDeodexd2.34CE and keep you informed. .. hopefully l finally also my market will work ......
thanks to all the nice guys discussed with me my problem... i am proud to be a member here ...thanks guys!!!

Glad it worked for you, keep us posted
I got mine stuck on white led also, this was because of a mid rom flash interrupt (the cable got pulled out, dont ask who did it cuz i dunno)
Nothing i do makes the phone work, RSD did recognise my phone the first 2 times with white led and i tried to flash a rom but after it said "pass" the result was the same .. no image no bootloader just white led when phone is connected to pc.
Hi everybody. I also have the same problem like astearon. I tried the jumper cable solution but no result: rsd lite don't recognize my defy, i can flash it but it don't reboot after flash, just black screen.
Thanks to people which will help me!
(sorry for my english!)
try some other versions, preferably downgradable, try your original one
I had the same problem after flashing a higher version then noticed it is not supposed to be flashed on the original version my defy was on.

so how come you can flash your phone with RSD Lite, if it doesn't recognize your phone ??
Hi All,
I am also having the same problem i.e., white led and RSD lite is able to recognize my defy. Tried to flash Defy_2_2_CN.sbf rom. Not sure what to do.
Appreciate if any one can suggest me something.
Thanks
Listen everybody!!
You DO NOT have to use the jumpercable method thingy..
You just have to buy an AC power supply and charge your defy...
It will light up after some minutes!!!
Sometimes when the battery is COMPLETELY low (empty) you cannot charge by plugging your phone to the PC over PC, only the white LED lights up..
But if you charge it by the AC power supply IT WILL CHARGE!!
From my own experience.

AC power supply what you mean by that?
is it the wall charger that come with the box (charger+usb cable) ?? or like a built in wall charger like the normal one??
(*try charing with charger come with defy, finger cross) !!!!
Original wall charger not working ~~~

Hi,
I was flashing the UK Sbf on a unbricked phone using RSD Lite 4.9. During the flashing process, suddenly phone turned off and disconnected with RSD Lite displayed a message "Failed, Device disconnected error".
I actually had 40% battery b4 starting the process. is it the low-battery problem?? Now, I am not able to do anything with the phone. When I have plugged in for charging, it says nothing. Is it dead?? But, when I have connected to the USB, a white small light comes on the top.
How to get my phone back? My phone is from Honk kong and i have rooted it as well.
Would u please guide me if we can do something??
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Naga
Charge your battery in another phone or in an universal charger and try to flash once again. Or you can repeat flashing procedure on another PC.

Don't worry.
If the white led brights on the phone, it is possibly charging.
If not, read the following thread, there's the solution:

BE CAREFUL WITH IT!
Well, thanks for the quick repsponse guys... I try this... Hope, it works...
I have tried it... no luck.... But, I am a bit sure I have connected those wires properly n mounted the battery..... I got this mobile from Honk-kong.. I was actually flashing a UK Firmware (SBF)... Does it matter?? I did not wipe or any resets prior to flashing.. I have successfully rooted the mobile after Hard trails... thought of flashing it to froyo... But, mistakenly did this... )..... It went well till 73% and suddenly disconnected error and phone turned off with a white light on the top..
Any other way other than sending it to Motorola support... And I am in Dubai now.. this mobile is still not available here... so no local support from Motorola end. I have to pack it to either UK or HK...
Any trails???
Many thanks in advance.....
What .sbf are you flashing? The 2.34 or 2.5.1?

Can you start it in flash mode or recovery mode?
(vol up + power or vol down + power)
Hi, I am not sure of this as I have downloaded too many files for rooting, froyo upgrade and other stuffs.. But the file name is "UK_rom.sbf" and size 370MB+. are there any consequences??

Ok, go here http://and-developers.com/sbf:defy and download an sbf, I use 2.5.1, however once you flash it you cannot downgrade it,,, There is owever a lot of develpment more recently for it, im running a smooth froyo on it now.
Anways, pick one, extract that file to your RSD folder.
Open your RSD lite
Pull the battery from your phone, wait a few seconds, put it in, and boot into bootloader (vol up and power).
Plug the phone in, as long as the white light comes on you should be good...
select your new sbf file and hit start on RSD, you should work..
Now depending on what you had prior, your only option may be to flash 2.5 which is what I had to do.. Again, Id rather have a phone that turns on then complain about not being able to downgrade..
Let me know
good luck from my side
hint: never used a file called "UK_rom.sbf" - little unspecific ;===)
-nevermind- good luck once again, hope you bring it back to work!
Well, mobile it self is not turning on... It is a strange issue.. And fortunately, It has been launched here a 3 days ago in UAE.. I went to a store to check if the issue with the battery.. I have replaced and tested it out.. No luck.. I did not c the % of the charging. May be Bootloader requires more charging than normal powering... Anyways, I am decided to submit it to Motorola here, they must help us out...
Thanks everyone here for the wonderful support.... love XDA.... keep u posted as soon as it is fixed.... Many thanks again....
I deserve a beer for this!!!
Did the same goof up....got greedy for froyo and couldn't resist f&(*ing my defy........was cribbing for 8 hours while figuring out the solution.... escaped office for this.....but finally finally .......i saved it.......man.....if blood is the answer for blooood....then it has to be 2.51 for 2.51....
please click the link below for the only feasible 2.51 sbf....flash your defy in a standard manner and kabbooooom........defy reincarnated...

hope it works for all the good people in need....it worked for me (Atleast my defy turned on still observing how it works)..

Have you tried wotanserver.com
Otherwise, my guess is it might be a hardware issue, not a software one (because flashtool/update service/wotan server return your phone to stock. meaning if something was f*ed up, it should be fixed...)
Just use the Sues tool (aka. sony's flashing tool) and have it flash the latest update. If that doesn't work just tell your carrier that it did this after you installed and OTA update and maybe they'll give you a new one.
Yes!
Last Evening I tried the SE update service . right away it didnt work , so i posted , that my phone is still bricked. Today at school about 12 hours after i used the SE update service and the phone was "dead" it FINALLY booted to the os! Yay! im no longer bricked!
Thanks For the help! I appreciate it!
Not Again!
So........ the issue has continiued , after two weeks of perfect performance.
well....i guess the screen is to blame here , because when i touch it in places , that i know a button exists i can feel the vibration!
Ive been playing paintball and running around with the phone in my pocket , so i guess ill have to start saving money for a screen repair
So root wasn't here to blame.
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

Nearly At the end of every month my my phone gets into some kinda software problem (example : Google has stopped working then process.android has stopped working and some other random **** which is quite annoying) whenever this happens the phone restarts on its own and never turns on,i mean it does but is stuck on loading screen.(note: I dont do anything stupid which might harm my phone. )So i have to flash my phone with spflashtool it.This time when i flashed the phone it didnt turn, i held the button for long but it was of no use, so i thought it might be the low on battery,but when i put it on charge nothing popped up... it wasnt charging. Then I thought it was the battery but my battery wasnt swollen and the day before I flashed it,it was running fine with full charge. , there was no sign of battery problem anytime i used it the consumption was normal.
Please help me fix this problem, and I also want a permanent fix to the software problem too.
Any senior member please help..

same happens to me bro my android one is also dead same problem as yours when i tried with sp flash tool its end up with this error..... scr shot attached
☹
Bro,I flashed it thrice after but it didn't give any errors,but sadly it just wont turn on
If it were permanently bricked then it wouldn't have detected the phone...and bro lemme give you a suggestion,try changing it to firmware upgrade instead of download only.
Thanks for the reply
simmilar issue
same problem pls help in my case when i charge not charging the battery indicator just pops up and out i think its a battery error put in a new battery try to boot up nothing try to go in recovery nothing i have nothing to boot up from i think ill still try using fastboot and/or flashing and reporting back(ima try dead usb flash using spflash tool)
okay flashing works perfectly now i just need for figure out if the problem is with the charging/battery or the phone is dead
Same Problem
Bro, i have run into exact same problem. I even went to gallery and gave them the phone, they said they will charge 1500 as motherboard is dead but after one month they returned to me the phone saying that motherboard is not available. They are taking almost 14 days to return money so i have to visit again on 3rd june. But coming back to problem i have tried flasing with and without battery for 3-4 times. every times it shows success but the phone wont start. Even memory test was all fine. cant figure out what's the problem. i have tried both download only and format+download mode but nothing seems to work, If anyone finds a way to fix the phone please tell ASAP.
Same problem as the OP, mine's bricked as well after it began showing random FCs. Flashed KK and LP firmwares using SP Flash Tool but to no avail. The flash was successful tho but the phone never booted up
I'm kinda stuck in a similar situation. Let's start from the beginning -
When I got my Redmi Note 3 I stopped using my Canvas A1 and vaguely i remember that it was having software issues, rather than fixing it I just kept it away for a lot of months, and vaguely I remember that it just needed some flashing of rom and it would've gotten fixed.
And after all these months i'm need of this phone again. I don't remember much in depth details of the processes involved with it like flashing stuff etc. But I gathered as much knowledge as I could from the docs I had stored as backup & from the internet.
And IMO I think the flashing process was successful, but the screen is not turning on. Only once when I connected it to PC, the charging battery sign appeared(flashing thrice) but that was it. Nothing after that. And whenever I connect it to PC it detects the phone.
For now I've given it to a repair guy but I don't have much hope. He was saying that it could be just software problem, but I don't agree. If a smart person could comment on this thread so that we all could get some benefit out of it, in order to solve the situation or at least in my case I could research on something specific in the meantime.
