[Q] My Defy won't turn on - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So, i updated the software a few weeks ago from 2.2.2 to 4.1.1 , all went well , it was a complete succes. Today i wanted to go back to 2.2.2 . I downloaded RSD Lite 4.9 and a SBF file, I entered Bootloader menu and tryed to downgrade , but i got some errors and the phone got stuck in bootloader menu . I thought it was from the SBF , and i tryed another file and the update failed and the phone shut down . And now i dont know what to do , i'm kind of desperate . And when i plug it in the PC the white LED turns on , when it is charging in the wallcharger the LED doesent turn on . I tryed different ways to turn it on ... and with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideeas ??

Reflash another SBF... did you try flashing an éclair sbf by mistake?
What was your BL?
Try one of the BL5 froyo sbfs... Nordic seems to be rather popular... check the BL version before you flash, try out BL 5, but I'd suggest you think twice and ask for more help before flashing a BL6 sbf.

Ya BL is 9.10 for all, bit there's (sub) versions of it like CG4 ,CG5 CG6 & CG7. So most people just say BL6 BL7 etc. That's what I meant.
CG Version 2: SBF 2.21 / 2.34 /
Chinese (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair) (Defy)
CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo) (Defy)
CG Version 5: SBF 4.5.0 / 4.5.1
(Gingerbread) (Defy)
CG Version 6: SBF 4.5.1 (Gingerbread,
2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/Defy+) )
CG Version 7: SBF 4.5.1 (Latests
Gingerbreads, 2.3.6, (Red lens Defy/
Defy+) )
If you try to flash a lower ID version
than the one already on your phone, you
will just get a Black screen after booting
or a screen telling you to flash an
official rom.
So, with this in mind, you can now hop
between Android versions without
screwing up your phone.

Use an external charger or another phone to fully charge your battery and then plug it in and RSDLite will detect it.

wanted to know how did you managed to sort out your problem
please help me if you can

Hi, I am in a similar situation that my defy wont boot up (no screen activity) after I flashed the official Froyo ( Ver 4). The problem is that i bought it second hand and some miui rom (gingerbread) was installed in it with second init active with prerooted. I wanted official Froyo, dont know what was the highest version installed in it. Later tried to install the Nordic Froyo SBF, it didn't help either.
I have another defy on the same miui built (which is working normally and used for charging the dead defys battery), dont know what to do with the soft-bricked one. Which sbf to flash to make it work again.

exactly the same situation here. Someone pls come up with a solution I don't want to believe that the phone is now useless by a software problem there must be a solution

Have you tried charging through external battery charger or the mcgyver method?

Flashing a bl6 sbf helped out. The sbf I used was dfp-125. Made my defy into defy plus though and only after that it booted. Can root and install secondinit on it for further flashing. Once you get to the red motor logo after flashing, you might have to wipe data cache from stock recovery.
Hope this helps.

Make a downgrade on defy results: Brick your device!
1st attempt: Plug in the PC and wait a green led (means your battery it´s above 80% charged)... Be patient!!!
2nd attempt: You must to have/do one "factory cable"(searchable in CM´s foruns) to charge the battery. To be recognized by the RSD Lite you need to keep the "factory cable" to do a downgrade.

[Q] My Defy is dead? please!!

hello guys, I have a defy what's with the following problem: he started to restart automatically when placed in the charger, that, I took the battery and put it again, then he did not call more and went straight to the menu screen: bootloader 09.10 err: A5, 69,35,00,40. he is ok with the battery, the rom was official, but the problem is that when I get RSD lite with the tutorials, it does not connect, even if I start clicking, and it will run normally and when it appears in 100% seguite field status: check sum error in the flash ram downloader for bootloader defy. I wonder if it is possible that voceis help me because I need a lot of my smartphone.
Seems that your Defys flash memory (Internal ROM) is corrupted. Best you can do is to take it to service centre.

Defy Dead

My mobile got Bricked, i tried to unbrick it by using RSD Lite, when the RSD Lite finishes it says PASS and my phone should restart but it doesn't. It remains dead and I can't make it work. Now even if I want to start it with VOL UP and POWER button, nothing happens. I have a spanish Vodafone version, which ROM should I download? Although nothing appears on the screen, my PC still recognises it and it shows as connected on port 1 in RSD Lite. I've tried with various versions of ROMs but every time the same thing happens. Please help!

BL7 is a Defy+ SBF, which means camera won't work if you have a green lens defy. If you don't know what BL7 is, you should have read Zephyrot's guide. The link is available in the SBF thread in the android development section of the forum.
