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.

Sorry, but it worked for me...did you fixed it some other way?
Nope, not yet.
I'll try this with another cable. Also, i find a tutorial how to make Motorola factory cable, and i will try that when i find the time.
I can't put links here now, but it's called "How to Make Motorola Factory Cable to Unbrick Your Android! " on Youtube, maybe it can help someone elese.
I'm not giving up. :fingers-crossed:

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:

Hi, I just got an atrix two days ago and today tried flashing a ROM via CWM.
After following all of the original posts instructions correctly, the phone rebooted, and would not charge, or even boot into android D:
No red LED or error message, it would just sit at the booting screen.
Another strange thing, whenever I would plug the AC adapter into the phone, it would automatically boot, also mentioned by another person which flashed the ROM...

I tried using RSDlite but it says the battery is too low to flash. Same issue with Fastboot.
What should I do? I can't charge the phone, and whenever I connect it to my computer I get a solid Green LED.
Please help me D:
I'll be available via XDA PM, skype (danstheman7 is my username) and e-mail at [email protected]
Thank you in advance
**sorry if this is in the totally wrong section, i'm freaking out a bit right now and posted here incorrectly. my apologies.
You could try and get a battery charger for your battery. Ebay or amazon.
Also if your battery is really low sometimes it won't power on just buy plugging it into the wall or computer untill it has more then 10% charge. So if you plug it in and get a green light let it set a while it may be charging. Few hours should do the trick.
I am impatient so I used an old usb cable, cut the end off that would normally attach to a device, and stripped the wires that were red and black. On the back of your battery there is a positive and negative sign just attach the red to positive and the black to negative. Using tape I taped them down so they wouldnt move, plugged it in, and waited for a while for the battery to charge. Monitor the temperature of the battery to make sure it don't get hot. If it does unplug it, disconnect and order a battery charger. Something isnt right.
Once charged for a while put the battery back into the phone which allowed me to flash fastboot and RSD. Now make sure you have a full battery before doing this again.
I am not responsible for damage you inflict on yourself or phone. This can be dangerous. Electric shock, fires, exploding battery, etc may occur. Please try at your own risk. But this is what I did, ive learned my lesson to never flash on a low battery. Always charge fully.
You could also put the battery back in the phone and not have to wait for the battery to charge. Although you risk destroying your phone. And not just your battery.

Hi. Like you mentioned I had the same issue. I managed to fix it!
Go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
Download .zip for your carrier (Att or international) and then enter to CWM Recovery:
Plug your mobile to wall charger and hold volume down button. Then press volume down until you see android recovery - press up and it will lunch CWM recovery (I'm assuming You have got CWM installed for unlocked and you have unlocked BL). Then wipe your data and simply apply zip that you have downloaded. This Solved my problem.
I don't what caused the problem but What i did was:
1. I have Unlocked BL using pudidng for international.
2. Flashed via fastboot system.img for 2.3.4 OrangeFR
3. Applied fix for RAM
4. Installed CWM for Unlocked
5. Nand Backup
6. Applied cherry blur in CWM
7. Applied RAM fix for 4.5.91
Up to this point - no problems. I restored all apps via titanium. I went to sleep and when I woke up this morning my mobile was off and I couldn't switch it on.
I have connected to the charger and then the mobile went on immediately. After few sec went off again and then on. I thought the battery is dead untill I've read this thread.
Things I can do ONLY while my mobile is connected to charger:
1. Enter fastboot - but I'v got msg that battery is to low to flash...
2. Enter CWM Recovery
3. Once I'm in CWM I can unplug from Charger and connect to PC.
3. ADB sees my device

To me cherry ROM drained my battery from 50% to 0% over the night and somehow I wasn't able to charge my mobile and even switch it off with the battery inside. This is strange...

Faced same issue - fixed
Hey there,
i faced the same issue couple of days back. My battey was completely drained. As soon as I connected my phone to ac charge, it would star and stuck at the Moto logo without charging the battery at all. I was able to rebot my phone to recovery, but none of the recovery zip worked for me. I was not able to use flashboot since always got the low battery warning.
Finally had to order the spare battery charger from Amazon and charge my battey to boot into flashboot and flash the HKTW image. Once i flashed to HKTW i was bale to apply the latest 4.5.91 zip using CWM. Hope this helps.
Thanks,
SK

Hi everybody
I have Motorola Defy, but after I plug in the usb cable to defy and PC , rsd lite 4.9, 53.1. or 5.5 doesnt recognize my device..
After plug in it shows only white led and nothing more, nothing at all...
I tried every method , but unsuccessfull...
Everytime i try tu plug in, it just shows white led, nothing more, screen is black, and PC doesnt recognize it at all...
What should I do to unbrick it ???
Pls help, I'm desperate ... Thank you
PS: I tryed every method, I searched almost everywhere
When you plug it in first make sure battery full charge then load rsd lite and under settings change it to first come first serve. I had same issue and this worked.

Have you tried my suggestion.. I had same issue.. black screen with white lite.. you need to have full battery then plug the phone in and run rsd lite with settings on first come first serve..
if
your phone does load with a full charge then hold volume up and power button to get into the bootloader menu.. after than then plug into rsd lite..
to make things easy let us know what happens after you put a batter with full charge on it.. then we can go from there..
yes , I have full battery, I set the rds lite to option firt-come-first-serve, but nothing happend
I can't get into bootloader, I can't power the phone up, I can't get into mode... Nothing
Still the same probem, still not solved, Any idea what could be with it ??
Check the drivers

try these steps..
take phone battery out and wait few seconds..
then put batter back in and hold volume up and power button for few seconds.. let go of power button and then let go of volume up button..
your phone screen will still be black and no light will be lit up..
then connect usb cable to phone then to pc.. after that you load up RSD lite with the setting of first come first serve.. you should see a line in middle of window that says.. "connected" at this point your phone might display white light ..it sometimes doesn't but as long as rsd lite shows connected your fine.. at this point you should be able to run sbf files
The defy doesn't even power up when I push the power button

I tried McGyver hack, phone was connected, I did flash 2.51.1 UK version non carries, but nothing did,
On screen was:
SW update
In progrees
at RSD was Phone is being rebooted and PASS, but nothing on phone screen
Defy is working againg, but I was at the service
so using the MacGyver hack method enabled your computer to see your phone again?
I have the same problem (flashed wrong rom, phone bricked with just a black screen, flashed the same wrong rom again hoping for a different result, still bricked, read up on what was going wrong, came back the next day and my computer (including RSD Lite) could no longer see my Moto Defy. Next step i'm either going to have to (1)borrow another Moto Defy battery that is guaranteed fully charged (i have no way to check the amount of charge in mine while my Defy is out of action) or (2)cut up a USB cable and do the MacGyver hack.
1. Make sure your battery is charged.
2. Make sure you've all the latest drivers from Motorola's Website installed.
3. Make sure your RSD Lite version is atleast 4.9. I use v5 and had no problems till now.
4. Boot into bootloader mode.
5. Flash
If it doesn't work:
Try MacGyver hack.
In case you don't know what it is, search here in xda forums. You'll find it.
Update your drivers and do the same as above

Option 3 is to buy a cheap standalone wall charger for the Defy battery off eBay, like this one, to keep your battery charged between attempts to flash the phone. Gotta be less risky than the McGyver hack.
Not sure if the standalone wall charger will work, seems to me that the phone doesn't actually recognise the battery, however I have no means to test this and it's just a guess.
If it does actually detect your battery level but just can't charge it then what you listed is fine.
hope for defy with only white led light turning on. This assumes that you have already have mototola drivers and RSD lite installed.
Background : I only had defy one day when I decided to flash it with miui. I bricked on the first time with bootloops. Did research and got drivers and rsd lite. managed to find three stock t mobile roms and flashed to stock Tom, then flashed miui, since then I've been switching between miui and cm7.
Problem : After a few months of use, I decided to flash stock rom to see how the battery life would be like. Bricked it the first time with bootloops. I thought I had flashed it with wrong rom because the first time I flashed back to original rom I did not delete the roms that I thought were the original roms. So after first failure I tried to flashed with the other roms I had. after the third rom it would not go into bootloader, only white led would turn on. Tried macguiver, did not work so save your usb cable, don't mess with it ain't gonna work.
Two part solution: I realized that when I plugged phone with usb I would hear the usb tone on win 7. When to device manager and saw the other device or something like that was appearing and disappearing when I would connect and disconnect phone. I clicked it and it said Motorola device or something like that, it was sensing my defy! defy drivers were wipe out due to bad flash. I had mototola drivers so I clicked on update and searched for mototola drivers on hard drive. I had rsd lite on and it recognized the defy after driver update, even though the bootloader screen was not on and just the white led was on.
decided to flash rom that have me bootloop and it flashed it but still gave me a bootloop., by the way, the update part of bootloader showed up after a while.
Second part of solution: Please Google defy stock rom!!! googled problem and found out that the phone has a stock recovery. its the robot with the triangle exclamation mark. when you get to it you have to touch the extreme lower right hand corner of the screen to get to where you can wipe data and cache. when you start wiping data / cache you have to press on ok?? on lower left hand of the screen repeatedly until wipe is complete. then reboot and tada it boots up to stock tmo USA defy.
this is the stock rom I used : JORDN_U3_6.36.0
F Y I
if you ever try to flash a rom and it just bootloops, just go into stock recovery and wipe data and cache and you should be able to boot into android.

Hello Guys,
I bricked my Milestone 2 when trying to install the update for version Android 2.3.
It appers the Google logo when the phone starts, but it shuts off by it self.
When I try the recovery mode:
I get to it, but when I select the option of wipe data and reset to factory, does it start, but shuts off in the middle of the progress.
(When does it shut, I can turn back on easy)
When I try the bootloader:
Stuck saying that battery is low Can't program.
(I left the phone charging all day and I get the same message)
I do not know what to do anymore, some of the users here, says that is the battery.
But, the battery is bad or the phone is not charging?
When I plug the charger, the light turns on.
What do you guys think?
I already see the option in use the Nandroid Recovery, but I'm nor sure how to do it...
I do not have any friend with the same phone, so I will have to buy another battery or a universal charger, that I can charge the battery with out the phone.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Jeferson.

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.

Thank you guys! I try to charge it via usb, but the phone always started automatically after 5 minutes
That happened to me while ago, I just plug my phone to the wall charger and left it for like two hours and the battery charged quite fine.

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.

Thank you!
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):

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.

Hey guys! I've been given a friend's Motorola MB525 Defy to fix. He's relatively uneducated when it comes to ROM's and bricked the device, and I'm assuming the phones battery died whilst flashing. It currently has no android OS and I'm not too confident that it has a bootloader/recovery at present either.
I've got some experience with Motorola Androids/Flashing etc, I've done extensive work on Motorola Milestone and older RAZR devices which also used RSD so I'm hoping this isn't too different.
In short, it won't turn on, and I've tried literally every suggestion known to man.
It will not charge with a wall-charger. The white LED flickers as I plug it in, but then does not charge regardless of how long its plugged in.
When plugged into a USB on the computer, it does not charge (as expected), and the white LED shows up. Still the device won't boot.
I've since purchased a replacement battery and am still facing the same issue. It won't charge and wont boot.
I've attempted the McGyver trick on the previous battery and that didn't work out, so I'm going to try that on the new battery and see if that manages to jumpstart the device.
Can anyone else suggest any possible solutions here?
First: try with charged battery, if it not helps - try with macgyver metod - you should see white led lights up, if that not helping - i think it most likely will no bootloader inside chip - this can happen for etc. dead flash chip, but most likely it will a critical part while formating with RSD - unplug phone when RSD lite shows formating memory - you'll see black screen with no bootloader ... Try this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1828639 .Good luck while saving your defy.

Try another SBF. I had the same issue. Get one for your country or even your provider. I live in Spain and first flashed the CEE SBF which didnt work. I then found the Vodafone Spain SBF which worked instantly. As long as RSD Lite sees your phone, it is not dead, it just needs the correct image.
