[Q] Battery Problem, Defy Briked? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I think I got a sourious Problem with my defy (green Lens).
I was aktually running on CM7.2 Stable as out of a sudden the call was aborted and the defy dead. But the Battery was at perhapse 20%.
At home I pluged it in and was schowing to charge.... (showing the flash in the Battery symbol at 5% and red LED)
Next day still at 5%. so nothing charged. So I changed the battery with my second defy (running on CM10) 100% loaded. But the Phone shows me still 5%.
Wenn phone is pluged in I can boot and work with it, I also can go into the Custom recovery and into the bootloader. But only when I pluged the phone and not when connected to the computer. Also bootloader shows battery low, even with a 100% loaded battery, so I can't Flash anything with RSD.
I tried everything I know, installing new roms (at the moment its at cm10)
Wiping everything... also Battery. Tried battery recalibration apps. and even some battery fixes for Defy+ but nothing changed something.
My only suggestion ist that it must be a hardware defekt..... anybody some other Ideas, what I could try?
Any Ideas how much it will cost to repair? Warrenty surely lost?
Thanks in advance. Andy

Nobody any Ideas?

maybe you should try to reflash with your stock SBF file you had b4 installing CM7 and see what happens... if the battery doesn't show right even then, I'm afraid it might be smth with your hardware...

Problem ist, that i can install any custom roms using custom recovery. But I can't flash something over RSDLite, because Handy doesn't start without beeing plugged in (plugged into pc isn't enough) and even then it shows battery at 5% even if battery ist 100% Full (Witch I can test, because I got a second defy) So I wouldn't be able to Flash because Bootloder says, not enough battery.
I don't know how I should flash.....

Did you test to restore nandroid ? If you didn't make nandroid backup when all was good, it's an error...
If there is a PC on Linux near you, you can test sbf_flash (which works very well for me on my Salix OS), eventually with the -f (force) option.

Hi,
no I don't have a nandroid backup, from this phone.... Is ist possible to use a nandroid backup of another phone? As I said, I got a second defy, so I could take one from this.

just wipe data n reflash.
connect the phone to your pc/laptop tru the cable.. for a night.. then boot. wipe data and reflash, else there is a methid where u cut open the usb cable and give the red and black to the battery.

By now I own an HTC ONE S .... so it's not so important, but I would like to repair it anyway....

Your problems with Defy seems to be a hardware problem due to a fried condenser from power circuitry.

[Q] Defy Battery is not charging any more

Hi,
I've updated my Defy to the Chinese 2.21 Firmware a few days ago following this How-To http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919320 and everything worked fine for a couple of days but now I have strange problems with my battery:
--if I connect the mobile to the power supply nothing happens. The white LED sometimes goes on for a split second but then stays black.
--if i connect the mobile to the computer the white led goes on and it starts charging the battery, but after a few minutes the mobile starts booting by itsself and a few moments after i see the motorola symbol the white LED is going off and the mobile boots up to froyo but it switches itsself off very soon because the battery is low.
Any ideas how to make my mobile usable again?
Thank you
If you got the chance, try a different battery...
i read somewhere that someone had luck with that.
In a few days I will get a second defy from a friend, then i can find out and tell you if it is a problem of the battery, the usb port or the software...

Hi guys,
I`ve just had the same problem with my green lense defy.
basically when you recover using the chinese sbf you get the defy + kernel with it so it becomes a red lense/ defy+ as far as the battery charging is concerned.
So you need to install the battery fix for the red lense or defy+
there's a updated fix for the cm10
copy the zip to your sd card and flash the zip from recovery and all will be well. either via the usb if this is working and you have enough charge left or put the sd card in your card reader or adaptor on pc.
You may need to charge the battery using macguyver method (not more than half an hour and stop if battery starts getting warm or it may go bang.) or preferably 3rd party lion charger £19.99 in maplins at the moment.
just on my way out the door so haven't got time to post the links but easy to find if you search this forum.
good luck

Thanks, but I have not used Chinese sbf, regular CM7.2 for my defy ( green lens); With macguyver I got the defy charged up, it boots up and all; Only problem is that anything with the usb is not working, neither charging, nor recognizing ( by RSdLite, Motorola Media link, or Windows). I have been using CM7.2 for months without any problem; Also after charging via macguyver I tried re installing to old backed up Motodefy ROM, and also reinstalled CM7, as I said evertthing works except anything connected to USB, tried also different computers , uninstalled medialink, re-installed RSDLite all the works
will try some more; Any hints links welcome. Thanks

NEED HELP - Android 2.3.7 don't boot anymore

Hi Guys,
I got into a problem here, and I need help! I have a milestone 2 with the latest Endlees CyanogemMod, Android 2.3.7.
I was trying to follow the steps into using the internal memory as a SD card (link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948887), but I wasn't successful.
Here cames what I did:
First I tried to follow the steps:
​1- create a file image in /data and a folder in /sdcard
​mkdir /sdcard/storage
​su
​dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/storage.img bs=1024 count=5242880 (1024x1024x5 --> 5Gb)
​busybox mkfs.vfat /data.storage.img
But that didn't work, the terminal emulator just said that the directory couldn't be found.
Then I downloaded Busybox from Android Market, and installed it. But when I executed the program, the installation wasn't done because it was insisting that Busybox wasn't able to access the folder, and didn't have superuser access to root. Even with the permission on Superuser OK!
So after that, I tried to reboot my milestone 2, and now it won't even get to the boot screen of android (screen with the rotating square)
I tried to use the boot recovery tool, and wipe all system data, and reboot, mas it isn't working. Something I noticed on Recovery Tool is that apear a messagem saying "E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/command" and "E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/caller.
Even the battery light won't turn on. If turn off the cell and try to recharge it, appears a image of the battery with a "?" on it... I tried to connect the cellphone to the PC with the usb cable, but it isn't recognized...
I hope someone can help me, I just can't afford to lose this phone.... Thanks
Look in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344740 it should help you solve this problem
in general: firstly you need to charge your battery in another working Milestone 2 or in some universal battery charger (because bricked Milestone 2 is not able to charge battery) and then you need to flash SBF and it should be ok

I read somewhere else that even if the MS 2 is bricked the battery charges. Very very slowly, but it charges.
thanks for your tip... I read the entire topic, but there is a problem. My battery must be around 30% or something, but when a connect the milestone 2 with the pc via usb cable, the lateral light won't even lit... And the pc won't even recognize it...
edit: when I connect the cellphone to the pc, the light lit for 30s more or less, the appear the Motorola logo with the rabbit on the side, but then the light turn off and I get stuck in the same situation...

I don't know, maybe it is possible, but I as far as I know, everyone, who had bricked M2, charged the battery outside his phone...
So he can try it in the bricked phone, but he can't be 100% sure it will charge, right?

Yes, thats why I said here and even in the topic I referred to, you have to charge battery in another non-bricked Milestone 2 or in universal battery charger. When your M2 is bricked, it wont charge any battery (or maybe it will, but very very slow according to carpet55's post ).
So now you have to get some universal charger or working M2 (or another battery).. This is your step no. 1. Then you can flash it via RSDLite by SBF file.
ok Anonymous_!
I'm going to find a way to charge the battery and do what are you saying.
But RDS Lite can flash the android even if windows it isn't recognizing the cell phone on the usb?
thanks again! I'll return with more info when I get my battery fully charged..
After you will have charged battery, you will have to boot into bootloader by holding Power+Volume Down+Camera button, then windows should recognise it (maybe you will have to install drivers too) and then you can use RSDLite (don't forget to run it with administrator rights).
Anonymous_,
final question of the day... Where do I get the SBF file?
I'm from Brazil, so should be the brazillian version of this link?
and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
You are on the right path
Grab Brazil 2.2 version from http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 and it should be ok.
I can confirm that no, the battery does not charge when bricked. I left mine going for over 24 hours and nothing -_-. So ended up using a universal ac adapter set to 5 volts and some wires directly to the + and -. This didn't work after half an hour so I upped it to 7v and about ten minutes later, all good.
During my research to find how to fix it, someone was saying the charge sequence software in in the system or boot data, and since it was all corrupt - no charge.
But you perhaps allready have enough juice in there to load up bootloader successfully, so try what anon said and hold d-pad up and power on until the screen flashes blackish grey and let go. Then it'll tell you if the battery has enough charge to flash a sbf

Guys,
I'm thankful to everyone who tried to help me, especially Anonymous_!
Yesterday, in the same day I bricked my phone, I flashed it even without charging to 100%... and everything has gone well, but it was a close call, because my battery had only 5% left when the milestone returned to live!
Good to hear!

[Q] Recovery...where are you?

I think you're in stock recovery. What you need is install 2nd-init for the custom recovery and all it's features onboard...
Thanks for your reply!
I've tried to install 2nd-init (the stable, not the latest) and all it's ok...if I restarted my phone e try to enter to recovery mod, I see an Android BootMenu ( ) and I can choose stock recovery and custom recovery. If i start the custom it retunr this message:
Code:
Start Custom Recovery...
E:Can't run /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh (No such file or directory)
So confused....
Something braked with che CM9 kernel? If I start the stock recovery...I see the imaged attached in this post.
Boot normally into CM9. Open 2nd init and uninstall Bootmenu, then re-install bootmenu but chose "Latest - 1.0.7", not "Stable - 0.6.7"
Boot menu 1.0.7 is available with latest Sndinit2.0 version, get that sol from dev section and then install boot menu.
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App
Thanks to everyone!
Now I'n with the 1.0.7...I have the same image on the recovery this is strange!
I've tried to flash with che CM9, but the install aborted with this message:
Code:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
EDIT: the same error with my CM7.2
I'm coming from a 7.2 NIGHTLY (cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+). I've tried to install the CM9 from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100 (I've used the Quarx rom). After this my Defy+ wan unable to boot (black screen). After a few of stock rom I'm back to the default rom (the spanish version, not the italian...it doesn't work ). I would like to flash the CM9, but first I think there is a problem with the recovery...why it displayed the image with the alert? Another question...with the CM7 my recovery have got a lot of option...now I've: reboot/apply update from sd/wipe data/factory reset/wipe cache. Is it normal?
What the hell I've done?
Most likely you're trying to flash unsigned ZIPs and the recovery wants signed ones, or trying to flash what should be extracted as "backup" and restored. You can turn off signature checking in recovery, if you know that you're flashing correct ZIPs and they're unsigned.
The stock recovery ALWAYS displays an image with the alert, because you can NEVER change it, until Defy bootloader will be unlocked (if it'll ever happen). Nothing strange about it.
I was able to use recovery and I tried to reinstall the CM9, but now my phone looks dead! No boot, no boot error, no recovery...nothing! Black screen. If I plug the phone to my pc...RDS Lite does't recognized the Defy. I would try to flash the sbf and come back to the 7.2 NIGHTLY...but how?
Damn...I'm so sad for this I'm hope there is a workaround...

Did you press vol up and power??! You need to go to program mode for RSD lite to recognise your phone! It may have been that you flashed CM9 for Defy instead of CM9 for Defy+!! By no recovery do you mean you can't go even to stock recovery?!(Sounds almost impossible!)

Normally these steps are followed to flash SBF:
1.) go to bootloader mode (Vol up + power button. That's the program mode I was talking about)
2.) Now RSD lite will recognise your phone.
3.) Flash from RSD lite.
Are you saying that Vol up + power button = nothing happening in your phone? Not even black screen with
Bootloader .... blah blah
USB
Battery OK
Ready to program
????
If that's the case:
1.) Battery not charged.
2.) Go claim warranty!
Yes...this case! I know the bootloader screen
Code:
Bootloader .... blah blah
USB
Battery OK
Ready to program
but this time nothing...
Mhh...maybe the battery is near the 0% and the usb from a pc doesn't charge the phone? The led is white...but nothing. Maybe with the AC power?

Charge your battery... In another Defy phone, NOT McGyver method as many have already fried their batteries, using this trick!
I don't have another Defy for try this! I will try tonight at home, with the other cable connected directly to AC, and not to my pc. I hope it's work
No matter what cable you will try. At the moment your phone is not charging the battery. In order to start charging, you need to reflash it. And in order to reflash it, you need to get your battery charged... Sweet, ha? Get a buddy with a Defy to charge your battery and then reflash the phone.
Wow...this is a problem for me. Nobody have this phone and in Italy is not so much widespread...nobody know it :-(

It worked like charm, battery is fine, i was able to flash a new rom...
One Usb-Cable "broken" but well who cares.
But if you try it, you need to be very very veeery careful.
Friend of mine is Hifi-Electrician and i had a little help from him, for testing which wires are the right ones to connect.
You have to be aware, that this could kill your battery and you need to buy a new one.
But once, everything is connected the right way, you also need to know that there is no safety or fuse or whatever, that safes your battery, so dont put it on too long, in my case, it took about 5 to ten minutes for 50-70% of battery, so dont let it be connected too long.
And one last thing, make sure, that there is no possibility for the cables to hit any other connector(?) on the battery, use some kind of tape, to make them stay in there position.
If your still willing to try this, good luck to you, as I say, this works. I dont know which MC Guyver you like to try, but i would recommend the batterycharge only, so not connected to the phone, version.
But think about this docking station too, its way more comfortable, easier, less dangerous, and amazon is really fast in shipping, so it would probaply just take 1-2 days.

1) Other users have indicated that the battery will not charge while in fastboot mode, but it's been reported that the factory cable will boot the device even when the battery is flat or even disconnected.
2) It's possible, but if you read the posts from the other thread you started several days back, the user with a dead battery said he was only able to get his battery charging again with the stock software.
3) No, you can turn off the device, disconnect the cable, and reboot. It will revert to whatever bootmode was set before the factory cable forced it into fastboot mode.
4) I've never had problems with CM7. I've even had it shut off on me after some running app went nuts and drained the battery in a few hours. I don't have any experience with MIUI.

Technically, there is no "official" CM9 for the Kindle Fire because the KF is not an officially supported Cyanogenmod device. With that said, this might be as close as you get...

I know there has been many cases like this before and i just spent 2 hours looking in all these known case... tried what worked for others and i still has no luck in getting my device to turn on.
All i know its not a battery related problem ... i got 2 bats and they both have over 70% juice.
there is a post on youtube ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoVBV-njUOw
My situation is the same as his .. but his rsd lite is able to detect his defy....
now i was thinking that i recently formatted my pc .. and all drivers are gone and i did not use rsd after that ... so no drivers were installed for it to detect the defy ... then re installed the MOTO DRIVERS but still no luck ????
Any thoughts of what i can try to fix this next

Mainly can be a Drivers Problem.
Sometimes the ROMs can have a Bug, in the case of some 10.1 ROMs, this is precicelly the bug, if the phone is discharged completelly the cell is not turning on anymore. I was lucky, because i was ussing iLLusion Rom on my DEFY+ when it happened to me and i lett the phone plugged to AC power and after a couple of hours it turning on. after this i don`t let it down at all...
Not at all the people that make it this, it worked as sollution. i hope you have luck.

I thank you for replying ... But the issue is not low battery here ... i have a universal charger and i charged the battery ...
the problem here is that my DEFY is bricked .... The screen is not turning on ... i cannot get to boot loader and my PC/RSD LITE is not detecting the device ..
when i press the power+vol up button nothin happens but after a while the device gets a bit warm !!!!

Hey,
have u installed the Drivers only or the Motorola Device Manager?
Your phone show really nothing after u press vol+ and power? It's really rare that this happen.
Try going to an unofficial service center, to get your device j-tagged (google it), they will restore your fully working bootloader.

Thanks for reply
I have an .msi driver package 5.7 sumthin and it does not install the device manager ... i have always used this package never had any probs though.
Yeah i was completely shocked ... i mean it was working so nice and i just took off the battery to change my sd card and just then it will never boot ...
nothin happens when i press those buttons ... it just shows a white Led after 5-10 secs when i plugged it to pc.

Install this, may it work better than the msi pack, sending the device to a service center is last thing i would do.
Have u try following: plug the device without battery to the pc and hold vol+ and power down at the same time.
it should boot in bootloader and show that battery is needed if u insert the battery after that u could programm it.
no luck

Just after you posted this ..i started to try this solution .. and its not working .... if i plug the usb cable without the battery the white led just flashes for less than 1 sec . like a millisecond .... then nothing .. even if i try the vol+ power ...
i remember now trying SWAPPER2 yesterday and since then this happened .. OMG ...
After u enabled it, u change location of swap file? If I enabled it and choose my third sdcard partition with swap partition the system gets really laggy, always reported it. Maybe ur choose wrong path and let swapper format boot partition?
must be

Well all my thoughts are going towards that now .. maybe that is the problem ...
because before applying swap i was looking for infos about the swap partition directory ... will it be what is default when i installed the app like ... dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ... or should i change it too mmcblk1p3 ... but i could not get any infos for defy.. so i tried with the default one it didnt work .. then i tried with the one i thought would be the right directory ... it worked .. though after i type free in terminal .. it was saying 508 kb when the created swap was suppose to a 256mb partition ... but the phone was ok and working .. then i switched it off to replace sd .. but KAPUT
So i beleive there is no way of recovery boot partition then ????
mmcblk1p3 is some partition in the phone not on sdcard there is the problem, mmcblk0p3 is third partition if sdcard! Ur last chance I think is really the service center

Yea after I looked what mmcblk1p3 contains, it really seams that u blown ur bootloader ur can't recover it, last chance is service center
Even with self made factory cable I think it wouldn't be recognized from PC
not looking good
