Hold the red and green button down and press and hold the power/reset button on top and wait until a screen pops up.

Typically you put it in bootloader mode and then reflash as normal. Are you not able to get in to bootloader mode?

I can on a good day.. The phone is very unstable for the moment.. But when i try to flash a new ROM from Bootloader, Active Sync can't detect the device. Is that normal?
The phone is unlocked, and it shows "USB" on the screen when i plug the USB in Bootloader..

Yes. All you have said above is absolutly normal. When you see the "USB" just flash it. Have you ever flash your device before?

You are not doing it correct. If you are pressing the volume down button while the phone is powering up, you should go straight into bootloader and you should NOT see the HTC screen.
Furthermore, put a new ROM into your SD card before you do this, so you can flash another ROM.

Well, that is the menu that your looking for if you want to do a hard reset (WIPE). If it not working, then your phone is toast. Unless you want to try flashing it with another ROM using Odin. Which may work. (but very doubtful) There are tons and tons of threads here for you to researh your problem, but it sounds to me like the SD card has gone tits up. Wen u try to do a hard reset (wipe) what comes up on the screen after you select wipe??
But Vol up, middle button, and pwr is in fact the menu your looking for to do a Hard reset. (wipe)
If in fact your SD card is having issues, there is a thread floating around here somewhere, where some people have had sucess reviving their phone (and SD) using a series of flashes or something that may work.

Just flash your phone with odin to a 2.1 firmware (stock firmware, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 ) it should do the trick, if it's entering recovery and then let's you install a new firmware you're ok, but before installing a new firmware just take the battery out for 15-20 sec so the phone has no power to keep residual info from your previouse firmware.
Hi,
Was given a Defy by a mate who thinks he has bricked it and replaced it already. I’m hoping I can get it working again. Hopefully with your help this might be possible.
These are the facts:
1> Current phone state: Motorola logo on screen and nothing else happens. I’m able to get into the bootloader(Power + Volume Up), but not able to get into recovery(Power + Volume Down)
2> Previous firmware version is unknown. All I know is the phone was bought through T-mobile UK.
3> My mate has tried to install various .sbf files(3.4.2-177 nordic Blurless Thread & 3.4.3-11 UK Tmobile Blur Thread & 3.4.3-3 UK Tmobile Blur Thread & 2.51.1 UK - Blur ROM Thread) onto the phone and still the phone stays in the same state.
So I don’t know where to start or what to try really, as I assumed all I would need to do is install a previous .sbf. I read it could have to do with the battery being empty, but I have a external charger and know the battery is full.
Any advice would be great, please help. I have also read other threads, but they do not have the same issues and are able to get there phones working past the point i'm at.
Thanks
same thing happened to my defy today, when I decided to try out CM7 while on a 3.4.2.117-005 nordic. Basically it's F'd up!
When I tried installing CM7 beta 6 zip from recovery, it got installed, but the phone was too damn slow to be used, So I flashed 177-005's sbf again and after completion it got stuck in boot at the Android Text.
Then i flashed with a 3.4.3.11_BLUR_signed sbf and still it's stuck at the Moto Logo.
please help someone, its my new phone..

Yea, I have tried it every configuration possible and no Android Robot appears… I have even asked my mate and partner to do it to make sure it is just not me…
Could this be the first official “Bricked” Defy? I hope not, was worth a try and assume this is why my mate wanted to get rid of it….
Thanks again for all the advice.

@jdearauj just a curiosity, what operative system you use on your computer?
i asked you, because if you have win vista, rsd-lite not worked always very well with this OS....if you have xp or seven its good!
endless bootloop M logo
ok maybe this will help...
quickly remove battery before it gets drained...
now do this,i call it the "monkey method"
>on my left hand i hold my defy without the battery in,
>press the volume up+power at the same time...
now i quickly slip the battery in w/ my right hand & stay a few seconds..it took me to the stock recovery-factory reset & it took me to stock SBF rom & ready to reflash cm7 again.
follow this,its all in here...

Hello!
So the problem started today, when my phone got shutted down ( because battery was 4%.. ) and when i was able to charge it, this sh#t started.
So, some things first:
- I'm not able to get to the place ( phone off -> volume down and turn phone on ) where i could flash wp6.5 or do task29
- I couldn't enter into rom because it froze to the part where HTC is green with black background
- Rom worked with safe mode
- USB flasher doesn't work in malgdr
- Buttons are messy ( but i have now figured how they work )
- I*M NOT ABLE TO HARD RESET, when it says " press volume up to reset ", it does nothing. I have to take off the battery to get off there.
+ I'm able to go to AD recovery, and do anything there
+ I'm able to use USB MassStg
So what can I do? Or what should i do? This is really sad to me. I've flashed roms since March with great succes, but now I face a problem like this in normal use. So i'm pretty confused.
I'm able to take some video if you need it.
Not sure did i make it to the right section, but i hope i made.
Hey u said that your buttons are messy and you figured out how they work. can you tell me i they started working. coz my hd2 is stuck on htc logo screen and not going to bootloader after pressing the power and volume down key . ithink their some malfuncaning in volume down key......... plz reply fast

What you are talking about is called bootloader and this is probably caused by a faulty volume down button. Unless you check the hardware for the volume down button and fix it if it is faulty there is no other fix for this issue unless you are using Windows Mobile then you can use the enterbootloader.exe.
keetsy said:

It froze on what is called the splash screen and this is not all in all just a major issue and can more than likely be fixed.

Safe mode on a device is the same as safe mode on a computer, it will allow you to boot the device and hopefully find the problem or fix the problem.

This is probably a driver issue and is only needed to flash a Android recovery or to flash a Windows Phone ROM.

I would like some more info on this actually as far as what buttons you are talking about. It also plays into what I said about a faulty volume down button.

This is because you have MAGLDR installed, there is no software for the device to reset.

This is good because I think recovery just may be what you need to use to fix your issue.

This is also good because you can transfer any needed files to your SD card using this.

I assume you are using a Android ROM because you said you can still use AD recovery. I suggest you read the first couple of post in the thread for the ROM you are using to find the suggested partition size you need as you may not have the right partition size if that is the case you will need to re partition your device but without being able to use USB flasher you will not be able to flash a new recovery with your new partition size. But you you should be able to edit a recovery and use it with AD sd, look in my guide linked in my sig for more infor on using recovery from SD card.
Also you can try to do a wipe of your cache and delvik cache and see if that helps. You can also try to make a backup of your ROM and re flash the Android ROM to see if that helps.
But to be honest with you your situation is odd because it did not happen right after you flashed a ROM. This sorta leads me to beleive you may have hardware issues.
LOL, when i started the phone today, the buttons worked normally. In Malgdr & AD recovery.
Of course, i tried to go to bootloader and I did. After that I flashed WM6.5 succesfully.
I'm going to upload a video about this all today or tomorrow. Rendering the video just now.
Edit: Installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1912740
Still, back and "windows" button are bugging. Sometimes when i press them, they change the volume and the real volume buttons do the same.

I watched the video and I gotta say I think you have hardware issues. I would recommend you find someone to take a lookk at you volume buttons and the hardware buttons to see about fixing them. Both sets of buttons are replaceable.
I'll try to take care of that.
Thank you really much !
