[Q] defy stuck at motorola boot screen after flash

i flash my phone with a custom rom from this forum
succesfull until RSD Lite step
after RSD Lite, my phone stuck at Motorola logo with blur
tried pull off and pulling on the batery with power and volume up, it got back to bootloader screen
try aother RSD Power, it is still the same
Progress till 100 persen, but the phone stucked at motorola blur logo
any solution, guys?
thanks

What were you trying to flash?

I try to upgrade to froyo.
it stuck after RSD Lite step

Well first, is your phone rooted? Secondly, what stock version did you have?
I think I can get you up and running with Froyo

you may try to install your original version/build number sbf. if its work, maybe you can try flash froyo ROM again. then when you finished restore custom ROM all you have to do is go to bootloader then flash boot/devtree only sbf.. dont pull usb connection. but if RSD want you to turn phone manually then you need to press power button even though your phone at booting state..

i got the same problem, everything was working fine before i done it a couple times but then i used miui and my phone battery died and it wouldnt work after that so i decided to flash with rsd lite and after doing everything normally its just stuck at the motorola and moto blur symbol/animation thing. really frustrating.

did you find fix?

What SBF file did you use?
Have you tried another file?

get into stock recover (Vol Up + Power) then wipe data/cache

Half Bricked
I have an Mb525 rooted (that was) running stock 2.2 Blurred. I installed the Defy boot loader and hard reset/wiped partitions and (tried to) install cm7 from SD, it installs fine, goes fine, everything is all set. Reboot the device and the splash image pops up with the white LED first, then the blue one for boot loader, and finally the green one. It stays on splash screen. I tried 2 different versions of cm7 and both do the same thing. I'm able to access the boot loader, it just doesn't finish loading whatever I flash onto it.
As my phone is dysfunctional, I would appreciate it if you could contact me through my Skype;

Please let me know if any other information would be helpful.

to go in stock recovery u must use Vol Down + Power

Solution
I had this problem. Found a solution at 4pda.ru
1. Shut down your phone.
2. Hold Volume- button, press Power button for 2 seconds. Then release both.
3. When you see Android robot press together both Volume+ and Volume- buttons.
4. Erase both Cache and Data.
5. Reboot.
Your phone should boot normally.

Help with my Defy!!

Hello,
Today when I was upgrading my Defy to the Android 2.2 using the RSD Lite, I forgot to put him in the Recovery Mode and I did the upgrade anyway.
Now, my cell don't turn on in any way! I use the "Vol Up + Power / Vol Down + Power" and nothing happens. The RSD Lite show me the device but I can't do anything. I tried to flash other ROMs but nothing happens.
Can anyone help me?

Check your battery. Maybe it's discharged.

Hi,
If you can get your phone detected by RSD lite then try flashing a proper rom....and it should start...also make sure you have enough battery on your defy...
And what rom are you trying to flash....also after flashing the new rom you must again go to the Stock Recovery (Power + Vol Down and then when you see the android icon press both volume buttons at once) and clear the cache and dalvik cache...
Also if you run out of batter...there is a post in xda somewhere to create a cable to charge up your battery directly outside...
Its really hard to brick your defy....and it will start again...do let me know if it worked for you...
Thanks

I've had that happen several times. Sometimes clearing Cache works. Most of the times you have to wipe /data partition with Custom Recovery. Now, after flashing with RSD you must go into Stock Recovery, and wipe /data with Stock Recovery. That will get your phone to boot up.
That "android with an ! logo" is the Stock Recovery. If you were on CM you would have had 2init installed, so to go to the Bootmenu/Custom Recovery, you have to press the VOL - button when the blue light turns on, not before, or else you might go to Stock Recovery.
When I flash with RSD, I always wait for the phone to reboot, and right when it reboots, I press the VOL + button so that it goes back into Bootloader, that way in RSD it shows the "Pass" message right away.

i tried to press vol - when the blue light turns on but still i get to the "android with an ! logo" (if i was not mention it, on this screen i don't have any text at all, just the logo with out any options)
so i cannot clear cache or wipe any thing =\
edit: when i need to see the blue light? because i get only red(to a second when i turn on) and white when it connected mcgyver style

Well, it seems like you've never used the Stock Recovery before. When you get to that screen you need to press both Volume + and - so that it shows the options.
With some stock SBFs I think you have to press the bottom left or right corners of the touchscreen for it to show the options, don't remember which side it is, and sometimes it's hard to hit the right spot, but it's there alright. Try with both volume keys first.
If you do manage to get it to show the options, do a Factory Reset, which wipes Data for you. Although, if you just flashed a stock ROM with RSD, there should be no blue light, just so you know.

why does it happen any way?(after few months of use)

defy stuck on boot loop
Mines doing this boot loop after running great for about 5 months. Seems I'll be able to get it back using methods detailed here. But is there a way I can keep my sms's bearing in mind I've not performed a back up for the last 5 months?

Anyone?
Does the advanced backup utility backup my sms data, so that i can do a wipe data factory reset?

[Q] Can't get into recovery...

For some reason I can't boot into recovery mode. Yesterday I tried to flash the PAC ROM but got stuck in the "PAC is loading" screen. I had to turn off and flash back to stock with RSD light. Now, I can't get into my recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0). When I use adb to get to recovery I get a screen with a fallen over android with its hood open and a a red triangle with a exclamation mark in the middle. I've tried to re-flash TWRP but that doesn't change anything. I'm assuming this is some kind of error, anybody know what to do? I've also tried to use cwm but I can't get into that either.
Also, how do I not get stuck in that "PAC is loading" screen when flashing?

The easiest way to get into recovery is to power down, hold all three buttons and select recovery. Try wiping data after flashing PAC. Make sure your boot loader is unlocked.

couple of things:
1.) battery could be low, and thus unable to boot up. I would suggest plugging it in (outlet, not PC). let it sit for 15 minutes. you should see the battery charging screen. after waiting 15 minutes, try to get into recovery via power+volume up+ volume down, then select recovery
2.) doing the RSD could wipe the recovery - are you able to boot up normally into the ROM? if not, make sure you have all of the drivers installed on your PC, and re-read the installation instructions (I'm sure you already have, but sometimes going over them again might open your eyes up to something you forgot)
I'm not sure where it is, but see if you can boot into safemode (google search for it).
my only similar experience is when I tried to install a custom kernel on PAC, and nothing would display on my screen (despite me hearing notifications). I tried several times to get back into TWRP, but finally got it after pressing the three buttons, waiting about 10 seconds, pressing volume down one time, then volume up once (the pattern to get into recovery)
hope this helps.

RSD flashes your stock recovery again.
Hold volume up + down + power, wait for 5 seconds for the phone to power off.
Then hold the same, volume up + down + power to get into your menu screen, select adb fast boot and flash your recovery. (fastboot flash recovery YOUR_RECOVERY_FILE.img)

Power + Volume Down (-) = Reboot
During reboot:
Press and hold Volume Up (+) = Recovery
Press and hold Volume Down (-) = Fast Boot
Press and hold Volume Up (+) and Volume Down (-) = Boot Menu

Can't boot into recovery mode

I tried to update my LG G2 D802 from CM12.1 to 13 using the following steps:
1. reboot into twrp (2.8.7.3)
2. full wipe (all but internal storage)
3. installed bootstack-d802-CAF-signed.zip
4. installed CM13
5. reboot system
so far it worked fine, so I went back into recovery mode, installed the open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20151203.zip. After reboot, the phone keep throwing error messages "google service is closed" and keep repeating. I thought it may be an error in the gapps so I went into recovery again and tried to install another gapp version. I did a full-wipe again, but then I accidently did a system reboot. Now the phone is stuck after showing the LG logo and won't start properly. I try to go back into recovery mode:
1. turn off the phone
2. press power + volume down until the logo shows
3. release and repress the both button, which should bring me into recovery mode, but it didnt work. tried it numerous times, but always the same, if I release and press the both button after LG logo, the phone would just restart after few seconds...
can someone help me? Since the phone doesn't start, I can't install anything. Is there another way to get into recovery mode? Or can someone explain to me what I broke?

Don't press and release the volume down and power button at the lg logo. Just hold it until it goes into recovery.
If you can't get in, try to TOT back to stock. I would recommend you stick with rooted stock before you hard brick it(if you haven't done so already). Not only is cm buggy ass hell on the g2 but MM will be even more so since it's so new. Good luck.

+1 to this method, i have been using this when I was not able to get into recovery easily. My issue is unrealted to yours though.

I had a similar issue trying to enter Recovery on my phone. I've tried a lot both methods, so I turned off the device, waited something like 5 minutes, then tried the vol up + vol down method and it worked. I don't know why, but that's not the first time I have to wait a bit longer to try the key combination in order to enter Recovery. Just in case you can't turn off you phone completly, hold power button till phone turns off, keep holding it, wait for the LG logo to show up, when the screen goes off, release the button. Good luck

It's not working for me. I got excited for a minute since others had luck with it, but it was a no-go for me. I know this is an older thread but....
It seems like being rooted, having TWRP and CM13 and Flashify, between all those, something should freakin' work, besides goofy hardware button combos. :crying:
