boot up to the bootloader (when turned off: vol up+power button long press), and after that connect to pc. maybe this way it will recognize your phone. does the white led light up when connected to pc?

volume UP not down the triangle with the exclamation mark is the stock recovery, you can access that by pressing vol up+down at the same time at the triangle. the bootloader is a terminal-like black screen. but be careful: without any working rom you cant charge your phone, and if the battery is low, you cannot flash anymore. good luck!

Boot into Bootloader mode (power-on while holding Vol-Down)
You may need to flash an SBF to get going again.

Pull the battery and reinsert it while holding Vol-Down. This usually works as a power-up.
Do it while connected to a PC. The PC should sound the "device connected" sound.
If the white LED comes on, it usually means the phone is OFF and charging. No LED usually means it's ON and in BL mode (you should get the white text on black screen, but you won't if you have flashed a 'bad' SBF).
Try this a few times.
If nothing else is broken you should be able to get into BL mode and flash an SBF.
But your power button needs to be mechanically fixed at some stage, or your phone isn't going to be much use.

I have tried all of this already and unfortunately it doesnt get into bootloader mode it just comes up with the moto logo. The phone was working before i tried to update my cwm to twrp i didnt flash an sbf. The power button works fine it must be stuffed on the mainboard i took it apart and the button works fine, why do i need the power button for anyway?

now can you turn on your phone? the power btn works?
try flashing official sbf , root and 2nd-init again.
p.s make sure you have above 20% batt or you gonna spend your time just like me plugging the defy mobo directly to 5 volts.

Doesn't bootmenu (Recovery) give you option to reboot into Bootloader? If so, do this and flash an SBF.

<<< head hits desk >>>
OK so if the phone will boot into recovery it SHOULD also boot into bootloader ?
Maybe I confused OP by saying hold "Vol Down" when I meant "Vol UP" ???
Anyway, OP will probably not get too far without a functional Power button.

Ok im with you now haha i thought you meant i needed the power button in cwm and i was thinking what for? but i cant get into bootloader anyway so doesnt really matter. I cant get into anything except cwm, holding up just brings up a black light up screen and phone wont recognize in rsd

Are you SURE? I have had Bootloader work even though nothing shows on screen (when I flashed the wrong SBF). The screen was black but RSD could still "see" the device.
Defy has a locked bootloader (cannot be overwritten), so the fact that you can boot into recovery indicates the bootloader is still there and working. Maybe the problem is in your version of RSD Lite, or your version of drivers installed on the PC, or in your USB cable?
Try uninstalling the drivers from the PC, then rebooting, then attaching the phone and insert battery while holding Vol-Up. This SHOULD reinstall the BL drivers to the PC. Try another USB cable - I have had cables which work for charging but not for data transfer.

ols help me....defy stuck at black screen...no bootloader
rsd lite recognises through factory cable but while flashing sbf it gives error sending ti rom packets and den it fails.....my stock rom was froyo india.....pls help.....
:crying:

Defy Dead!!

I was using cm10 2/11 for defy green lens.. I flashed indian froyo.. and it didn't boot up.. but when I connect to my comp it shows a white light... and gets detected in rsd lite.. so I flashed Chinese sbf .. den the phone was again black and not booting... not it is not getting detected on my comp but it is showing white led light.. plz help out...:crying:

Try this:
1. Pull out the phone battery
2. Put it back in the phone and press and hold volume down + power button and hold it for about 6-7 seconds, then release.
3. If a Robot logo appeared, you are lucky. Now press volume up + down at the same time, or press back button.
4. You should be in stock recovery now, touch Wipe data and then wipe cache. After that, press Reboot and the system should boot up
Also, a warning: I was flashing that chinese .sbf numerous times, and the result is bricked flashlight. So, flash it only when you need to!

Can you boot into bootloader? (Power + Volume up)

Install motorola drivers for pc, install rsd, enter the bootloader with power+volume up buttons like xiihyou said, then connect your phone via usb to pc and start the rsd proces flashing....

Should Help
The same happen to me , solution is simple .....
Just Install drivers ( HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100585)
Pull out battery, now put it back with Power button and Volume up pressed together
you should be in bootloader mode
Now choose the right SBF file for your Phone .....
After you Defy boots up, Shut it down -> wipe data and cache ( Press Power button and Volume Down)
And now your mobile should be OK

Defy (green lens) JB 4.2 Stuck at CM loading screen and battery problem

So, I've bought this phone about two weeks ago (used) and it was running on CM 10.x (not sure but I think 10.1) and JB 4.2.
Everything was running nice and then about week ago I started to get messages like *google play has stopped* and *google.service.....*...... has stopped* and those were coming at random moments and I could just press ok. It started to bother me but my PC was on repair so I couldn't install new rom or anything. And then few days ago when I was about to go to the bed I've seen that battery was pretty low, but I didn't care. So when I woke up in morning, and when I was about to leave house, just of curiosity I pressed power button about 3 times (fastly) and it started booting, but I had to go so I leaved it and I don't know did it pass CM loading screen or not. And while I was still away my brother took the phone, plugged it in the wall and right away tried to turn it on, it passed GoogleM logo but CM was loading for 10 minutes (that never happened before) so he took the battery out, put it back in and leaved it to charge. Them I came home and took the phone, there was battery charging animation on screen and it was 22%, I've turned it on, it passed GoogleM logo but stuck again at CM loading screen. About 10 minutes passed and I've decided to unplug it and wait for it to load or to eat the whole battery and at the same time i've put one other battery to charge (I have 3 batts' and one charger for em').
Battery drained. Then I tried to boot it with other charged battery, same thing happened with loading and battery indicator was red, I was confused. So I tried bootlader but it said battery was too low. I've put the whole phone on charging again, when it was on 100% I tried to boot it, on CM screen battery indicator went red right away. I waited for few minutes and then took the battery out, when I have putten it back in it started to charge from 0%! When it got to 55% I've menaged to acces bootloader, then I turned it off.
Then also something really weird happened, my battery charger (you just need to put battery in and plug it in the wall) usually lights in blue colour when I insert battery, when it's plugged in wall and charging it's some sort of pink and when it's full it's blue again, so now when I insert 1st battery (onyx) it has blue light only if I press it at some points, and when it's being plugged in wall and charges, colour is dimming (weird).
With 2nd (from motorola) it lights blue when I insert it, but very weak, and dimms while charging.
When I insert 3rd (from motorola) there is no light at all, but light dimms while charging. All of em' worked before that CM loading problem. And I can't acces recovery mode (I press power button + volume down), caution sign appears with android guy behind it.
I would appreciate any kind of help. And sorry for my english.

I think something happened. The batteries got broken or find a friend who got a defy/ defy + , he can give you a full charged battery and try to flash a SBF , and after that , flash cm7 ... cm10.1 ... cm10.2..
How to flash a SBF ? You need RSD LITE. And a good SBF , for you defy ( I mean for your BL , mine got BL6 , BL= BOOTLOADER)
Press Power button + VOL UP , the phone will enter in download mode , and connect it through the USB at the computer , open the RSD lite , select the SBF , and click the device , but before you press start , acces Motorola stock recovery ( POWER BUTTON + VOL DOWN) , an android will show up , you have to press like 10 seconds , the android will show up , but nothing else , press search button or VOL UP and VOL DOWN at the same time , and wipe data and cache. Put the phone back in download mode , and press start .

Yeah , but only if you activate it , if not , it will not kill your flash , to put the phone from stock recovery to download mode , choose the first one , and after that Press the POWER BUTTON + VOL UP ( Download mode ).
