Defy Red Lens BIG PROBLEM WONT START - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys.
First of All i am sorry for my bad English. Hope that u will understand me. I have a big Issue with my Defy with Red Lens. I used to have CM7 running on it with Android 2.3.7. Yesterday I decided to flash CM9 from 19/03 with the CM9 Kernel. Everything went just fine the phone started up and ran perfectly smooth until it just turned off. I wasnt even able to turn it on again. I guess the battery wa empty because it was in use for about 10 hours. Now heres the PRoblem: I cant start my phone. If i push the button nothing happens. But if i plug it onto the charger it will boot until this charging screen and not more. There is than a white questionmark on the battery on the screen and its stuck there with the red LED above the screen turned on. I am able to get into CM recovery Menu but everything i tried didnt work. I tried Clear Dalvik Cache, Full Wipe, Clear Battery Stats and the Recovery from CM. Nothing works. I am really confused.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks for reading this topic.

Even if you plug it to the charger, if it's not charging, well...it's just not charging The battery meter shows full, but it's neither full, nor is it charging, therefore the patch needs to be flashed

why?
just put it on the usb an laptop, go in Android Bootmenu (Stock Recovery, not Clockworkmod) and select: Tools!
There u can select "share usb" or "share SD Card". Don't know exactly, but the computer should recognize it so u can copy files to your SD Card (e.g. Roms etc).

Hi, there!
I'm not an expert, but maybe I can give you a direction as a starting point.
Either your battery is empty and only needs to be reloaded or it is to old, so you have to get a new one.
A third posibility is, that the battery is empty and had not always contact to get loaded, but that I can't say from here and it's up to you, to check over.
And also your cable and your plug could be damaged.
Your options:
1. Reload your battery (and test its health) in another device or an external loader. You could put it in another Defy of a friend. Or bring it to a service center for cell phones for reloading.
2. You could otherwise buy an new (loaded) battery. Service center again?
3. Finally you could try the following method with the risk of a final damage to your battery:

Tell us, how it has been going for you.
Good luck!

As long as the white LED is there, you are fine. Just charge that thing for some hours.
If you have a nandroid backup you can restore that without the battery but with the wall charger connected.

I don't have any advice really, but just wanted to note that I've experienced something similar. I'm on the Nov 2 CMX build from Quarx.
Every couple of days, my phone won't charge when connected to wall charger or USB, signal bars never change, wifi is dead, and clock is dead. My phone basically stops functioning altogether until I reboot. Rebooting always seems to fix it for me though.
If you need advice on which SBF to flash send me a PM or something. I had to flash an SBF for the first time a month or two ago, and finding the proper SBF was the most difficult part of it all.
Thanks for the help guys, i can flash the sbf, but now i get "code corrupt" and "battery low" errors. I can charge the phone via pc, but its restart in 5 minute. I keep charging it, but after 3 hour its still "low battery" message. With wall charger, the phone enter to bootlader and 1-2 minutes later the "battery low" error disappear but no charging led. After this the phone dont have enough battery life (i keep doing this charging method for 2 hours)
Charge your battery longer.
Check the MD5SUM of your SBF

I tried everything. When usb-pc in, i see the white led. 5 minutes later the phone enter to bootloader mode. Low Battery, Cant program error messages flashing. After 2 minutes the phones say "OK" and RSD lite recognize the phone! BUT! I cant do the whole flashing process, because 3 minutes later the phone shut down. If i wait to charge more in the bootloader more, its still shut down in 3 minutes.
I try to shut down the device everytime if its enter to bootloader, to charge more, but after 8 hours doing this, its still "low battery".

I think, we are at a point at which we are running in circles, my friend.
You tried just everything to reanimate your phone.
You must check your battery in ANOTHER device or load it in ANOTHER external charger to be sure that it's okay. Not in your phone and not in your PC.
If the battery charges well, then your phone is either physically damaged or bricked.
(Service Center needed)
Otherwise, if it's (battery) just charging fine and your phone boots up, first flash stock SBF and then flash what you want to.
If the battery isn't charging in that OTHER charger, then you know, you have to buy a new one.
Another thought, not very likely, but maybe your phone is damaged by overclocking/heat and suffers due to this under those permanent blackouts?
Bottom line is: you need another Defy with another battery to find out for yourself to solve your problem.
Unfortunately there is no wizardry
Question:
Is it necessary to go to boot loader for charging?
(I'm not sure about that.)
As a try, just let the phone off connected to power for a couple of hours.

I flashed 4.5.3-109-fixed.sbf and i GOT MOTOROLA BOOT LOGO! but always bootloop.
Now, if i flash DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf.gz
its okay? And i get fully working rom? (i know its defy+ but with the fixed sbf its partially working)
Glad to read that. This is good news :highfive:
Nope, unfortunately you won't get it running with a Defy+ SBF without having trouble/more work on your side.
Better download a MB525 SBF playing the game save. But it's your very own decision.
First see here (Maybe you already know all this stuff):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
Then, after lots of reading, swearing and understanding read on here:

_________________________________
Okay, I would take one of the MB525 SBFs from the "Android 2.2.2 "Froyo" section (3.4.2... or 3.4.3...)
NOT any Chinese SBF = no go!
But watch out for your Bootloader version (BL5, BL6) and your type of camera (red or green lense).
After flashing your stock ROM/SBF and the initial rooting, I would first make a NANDROID backup (CWM Custom Recovery) to have a clean ground.
Then I would first flash the stable CM7.2.0 and also do a NANDROID backup (CWM Custom Recovery) to have a solid home base for playing around.
Finally I would flash the latest Nightly of CM10 02.11. + Update from 07.11. completed with gapps minimal or gapps signed from 2012.10.11 (Google apps Android 4.1.2)
Much work to do for you, but remember: Even the longest way starts with only one little first step.

one of a kind bootloop! please help :S

hey guys i just flashed a new rom and was playing with it...ran antutu and suddenly my phone died...didnt respond to anything..my battery was around 50 percent so i plugged it into the wall charger to see if my love had died but a strange red light poped up which started blinking..so i pressed the home button again thinkin that the phone had revived but the light went away...only to not come back..so i plug it into the usb and the phone turns on..the charging icon comes up..and then the phone reboots again into the charging icon..this goes on and on with a constant red light.. only until when i try to start the phone again where the light starts blinking and the bootloop stops leaving the phn dead again :s...i can get into bootloader but that is very rarely aswell cause most of the time download mode shows up.
to top up the mess after getting into the bootloader i tired flashing the stock kernel..stock recovery..what not..all goes fine only until the phone reboots..only to enter into this charging icon bootloop again..no matter what i do..if the phone reboots somehow while being inside the bootloader the bootloop starts again...ive been at it for the past hour and nothin has sufficed ..please help me...i knw the phone isnt bricked as it wudnt have turned on at all..but wateva it is anyone..please help me!
the rom i had just flashed was chainfire X sr 5!..!
This isn't new. Leave it on the charger for a few hours and try again.
doesnt help as even on charger the bootoop continues.. :S
What about flashing the bootloader? (Not boot)
Download the file and place in the same folder as fastboot then run cmd and type those commands below

It doesn't matter if it continues on charger. The phone needs to cool off and reset. You said this happened during a benchmark, right? Were you overclocked?

It will charge in bootloader. It just won't be wearing itself out trying to boot.
i hope it works out..! !
thats the red light of death, or red light of scaring you to death. if you can get into the bootloader, press the power off option then let it charge. what happened is that your device thinks that it went below 0% in battery charge.

several hours should do. I kept mine on the charger all night, it booted later.
See, OP. I told you it wasn't a "one of a kind" bootloop.
ok i accept that it aint one of a kind...but wat i dont get is how did u guys put it on the charge..? i mean i just cant plug the device into a charger without it going into a bootloop!..which obviously wont be helping the cause as constant booting will drain the battery!..so how did u all put it on the charge?
guys thx alot..fixed it..finally..!

Tada. All it needed was time.
nah not really..had the phn on charge over night..didnt do any good..then found this another thread abt the same issue where ppl mentioned quite a few ways..i personally in the bootloader just fastboot wiped everythin and then without the reboot in between fastboot flashed everything all over..that didnt do any good..but then i flashed a custom recovery n tried permanenting it through mskips toolkit..it gave me a constantly sticking google screen..which after turned into the google X bootscreen..for 30 mins it stuck there..after which i again fastboot wiped everything n reflashed through fastboot..and only then it started...
personally i dont think its the matter of battery or anything else...something corrupts all the partitons..as when i was in recovery i wiped cache, dalvik cache,system, user data and they all returned an error of the directory not being there..battery was fine...but something somehow either corrupts all the partitions except for bootloader or something corrupts the sd card in whole...just my two cents!

[Q] Milestone 2 Bricked Helpp

Hello everyone, i need help. Yesterday i installed cyanogen 11 rom on my milestone, but when the phone boots, it said setup wizard stopped working and i couldnt do anything, after that i flashed my device with 2.3.4 version, from 2.3.6. At that time i didnt knew that that will brick my phone. So now it wont turn on...when i put it on the charger led next to charger/usb flashes, when i connect it to usb led stays on. I read a lot threads on the forum but no luck. I just need to enter to bootloader so that i can flash it again, i tryed it with camera vol down and power but now luck. Anyone knows another way?
Thanks in advance.
I fixed it by using battery bypass. I wont delete thread maybe will help someone.

I almost killed my M2 last week, all my fault. When battery is too low, cable bypass is not enough to turn on with vol down + camera. But there is another trick in RSD lite.
Put the bypass cable in the M2 battery & phone then connect bypass cable in a wall charger (computer usb port has not power enough). Now plug the data cable in the M2 usb then connect to PC USB port. Phone still appears to be dead if you try to power on (try it). Go to RSD lite 5.7 and click "Show device" until device properties shows something. Now ignore that your phone looks powered off and go ahead flashing with RSD.
After flashing you will need to do a factory reset as usual, turning on with X pressed until triangle appears. Note that in some M2 you go to wipe menu pressing @ one or more times in triangle screen, while on other M2 you press vol up + vol down to get wipe menu.
Mine was bricked for the same reason, flashed BL, 2.3.6, then because I could not wipe (didn´t know that there was two ways to get menu), I messed up the entire thing, flashing 2.3.4 - phone dead with side led on when connected. Battery does not charge in this state, so after discharged I recovered this way.
Progress
Ok, this helps a bit......I managed to flash my M2 but still no startup screen.
When I did what you wrote, RSD Lite v5.7 did show my device and it started flashing it, in some point the screen on my phone lights up and shows "FW update in progress.." . Everything finishes nice with no trouble...rebote and PASS...
But there is no Motorola icon shown, neither I can start in recovery mode, or bootloader mode or any other that i tried.
When I connect it to PC with data cable, it makes sound like the USB device is plugged in, and it also can be seen in RSD Lite as connected device but nothing on the M2 screen... Same thing happens when i press power button on the phone while it is connected with the data cable.
Any idea why?!
By the way, tnx for helping me this much! :good:

Excuse me, what sbf version are you trying to flash? Do you know your current BL version?
Please note that some sbf requires bootloader upgrade to 70.13 first.
And there is not direct downgrade - i.e. once flashed GB, flashing froyo bricks M2. Actually even between GB versions, once installed a R01 GB sbf you can not flash any R00 GB sbf. Some downgrades only this way.
Also there is not BL downgrade.

I also think he's trying to downgrade. Perhaps he flashed Latin America ROM, and now he's trying to flash UK one. I don't know, but what he describes looks exactly what I experienced when I tried to flash Froyo over GB.
IMHO he should try to flash the latest ROM, that means Latin America 2.3.6 GB.

Yes, that is exactly what happened.
After reading some more about this, I now understand what was my problem....
Playing with my M2 I installed some CM versions, 10, 10.2, 11... and finally when I wanted to go back to stock rom, I find newer version than mine was, and there is the first mistake. I installed it not knowing that I can't do a downgrade later.
Secound mistake was that i TRIED to go back to my old stock rom, and....black screen happend.:crying:
But thanks to your help I now know how to fix it. And i did! :victory: :highfive:
My BL is 70.13 , and when i checked my CG31 with "smgver" it show that it is v4.
I can't go back to my old rom, but now I can install costum or some BR/AR gb except for persona&vivo,which is 4 as Endless7 explaned in his text.
Now there is only one more problem... the battery cannot be charged. There is icon like it is being charged, and also it says charging 1% and always is 1%.
I have original battery and one that is not original...neither one of those two can't be charged.

When connected with a wall charger a discharged battery should jump to 20% in config, battery. If locked in 1%, probably there is a mess in the battery state variable.
If you are using a custom recovery, try to clear battery state on it and select the option to fix permissions.
Doing again the master clear/factory clear also may work, but needs to config all the phone again.
Another thing to consider, any short circuit or wrong wiring while doing the bypass cable may damage the charger (or battery, or phone), do you have a spare one to test?

I tried both of this things, and none of them worked. When powered on, without charger, on the battery icon stands [!]
and when it is connected with a wall charger, icon changes to little lightning ( standard charging icon) inside the empty battery, without movements (battery do not changes colors, red, yellow, green). On lock screen says: Charging 1%, and same on the battery settings (1%).
That was on costum rom.
And on the stock rom in the battery icon stands [?], and when I connect it to the wall charger it says (with original Motorola battery inside):
"Invalid battery
Your device battery is invalid and cannot be charged.
Replace the battery with an original Motrola battery."
I changed the cable, and the charger, but I do not have third battery...short circuit...maybe...maybe.
One interesting fact, the battery seems to be charging, although it says 1%.
The original battery was empty at the begining, she couldn't even start the phone, and now phone is working on that battery....strange. Should it be able to do that, if there was a short circuit?
As far as I know, flashing stock sbf overwrites most config files, also battery statistics. Maybe the easiest solution would be to buy a new replacement battery - at least here, in Poland they go for 7-8$ - quite cheap IMO.
I remember when I was using MS2 that once I had this question mark instead of battery status - it heppened when I drained battery to zero, phone was unable to boot to charging mode, so I booted from another battery, and with a wall charger plugged in, I replaced battery with empty one. Then question mark sign appeared when there was no battery, but I don't remember how I got rid of it. Maybe it disappeared after some time? I don't know. But for sure it disappeared.

Battery sign with a "?" shows when battery is completely uncharged (and before the master clear in my case). Power off the phone, install the bypass cable (again) and put it in the wall charger with phone powered off. Wait 15 minutes charging before power on and wait more 15 minutes charging. Now remove the bypass cable and let battery charge as usual before powering on again.
I did all of that. I downloaded some battery widget, and it shows the battery state 100%. Same is when i go to Settings=About phone=Phone status, battery status is charged 100%. Now the only thing is that in the original battery status icon is still [?].
The important thing is that battery is 100% full and phone is not broken, it works! !
@rabinhood
I flashed costum and stock rom.
I have replacement battery, and same thing happens on it. Also I tried changing them while charging...nothing.
Maybe it will disappear by itself if I wait long enough. :laugh:

[Solved] Cannot use battery power on recovery and system

So, here's my situation, my phone suddenly turned off last night while installing a game, when i tried to power it up, it "blinking" on the boot logo, it keeps turned on and off, so i reckon its battery has run out, so i charge it, then it works, it can boot to system, after it shows around 80% i unplugged the charger but the phone then suddenly turned off and again, blinking on the boot logo.. so i charge it again just to see it boot to system and shows 80% battery.. i tried to charge it to 100%, but at 100%, the phone suddenly died, again..
at first i thought it might be a battery problem, or power circuit thingy, but here's the catch, it can hold for 30 mins + on bootloader mode..
can someone tell me what is wrong with my phone?
EDIT: flashed stock ROM and Recovery, still no use
EDIT2: Did the QPST as suggested as Rwepradeep, still blinking on lenovo logo
EDIT3: Solved! Battery was the actual problem

okay so i did the qpst thing, it can hold on at download mode until it finished, then after that the phone reboots, and it happened again...
i don't get this phone, it works well on bootloader and download mode, but not so long at recovery.. not to mention i can't even boot into system (can't even past the boot logo lol)
Okay so, i took it to Lenovo Service Center, they told me something wrong with the battery, apparently it hold up on bootloader because the bootloader mode didn't took so much power, so even a broken battery should hold up a little.. Changed the battery, now it works well, thanks for all the help..

le pro 3 stuck on boot screen help

Hi, my Le pro 3 (x727) is stuck on the boot screen. It shows the leeco boot screen then vibrates twice and then shuts off and repeat the process. My phone was unrooted and completely stock. Is it bricked? should I try to unbrick using the methods on this forum?

Okay can you provide more info
You say that it has never been rooted and never on a custom rom?
How long did you have the phone?
Were you using the stock charger and cable?
If its just a Brick
You can follow my instructions to unbrick.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/unbrick-leeco-phones-leeco-variants-t3847220
Read several times and properly install the software and drivers on your PC,. ( I cannot stress enough that you read the instructions of the OP and the first post underneath) If your phone is bricked those instructions will repair it.
If its hardware
Unfortunately, your issue could be a bad battery. Which is no big deal they only cost $8
If you have always used stock, and the issue is hardware its probably just the battery alone and nothing worse.
If it is something worse, it could be the usb card which is $13, I doubt that you would have a more serious issue such as a fried motherboard.
Good Luck
Let me know how it goes, on the unbricking thread.

I had the phone on release date which was november 2016 i think. Yeah, I have never tried to root or install a custom rom. I am using an anker powerline+ since the original cable didnt last long, still using the original charger. I have tried both the cable and the charger on a Nintendo Switch and it seem to work fine.
I am currently downloading the files from your guide, the big one is taking too long though. Do you have any other link for
le_zl1_qfil_ufs_fix.zip?
Other observation/s:
The phone warms up when left on charge, no notification light though.
The phone's battery life was degrading which I thought was natural. Last time I check through Accubattery was at 84%.
Before the phone died, I checked the time through my phone which was 1:30 am and is less than 25% battery, woke up at 4:30 am and its dead. Phone was unplugged during that span.

It sound like the battery stats were off. Try leaving it plugged in overnight and then use this Qfil

Thanks, but i got it back alive just this morning without flashing . I left it on repair mode (vol + - power) for a whole day to drain the battery. Then once I plugged it to the charger, it was running normally again. Is there any way to reset the battery stats?

That's great news! So apparently you had built up static discharge. In the past you could resolve this issue by simply taking the battery out and reseating it.
To clear battery stats
Boot to recovery , open file manager, go to data/system the down at the bottom you wiil find the batterystats.bin delete it and then reboot to system.
I do this about twice a month.
Take care, I am glad you got it working.

Im pretty new to this, but on recovery I can only see update and recover(format). I suppose I need a tool or something. I already downloaded flash2 and qfil, are those the tools that i need?

You don't need those files unless you have a brick. Go to the TWRP website for learning about the functions of TWRP
Double post, read below.

Yup it's working, I just need to reset the battery stats. Anyways, thank you so much. I'll head to TWRP and do some reading.

Hey, sorry to bug you again but my phone went back to bootloop. I tried draining the battery again but this time it didnt work. I went on and flash qfil and was successful at it. The problems is, right after flasing qfil, I rebooted the phone by long pressing the power button, but it just goes back to bootloop at the leeco logo. What could be wrong?

I made a whole thread for these kinds difficult issues. Read the OP and my posts #2 and #3 on that thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/unbrick-leeco-phones-leeco-variants-t3847220
If all else fails, you can mail the phone to me to attempt doing it for you. Read the thread.
