Hi all,
This is my first post :x
I downloaded the ROM (4.00.10) from the kitchen. At first, I downloaded EXE file but when I start upgrading my Qtek reboot and nothing happen, I tried many times. I read about upgrading via SD. I did upgrading without any problem. BUT when it finish upgrading, my device won't start. It hangs-up at splash screen and showing ROM version and Radio Version only. I tried many many times with no success.
I need some help please
my device info:
ROM version: 3.18.04 ENG
ROM date: 05/22/03
Radio version: 4.21.00
Protocol version: 32s54

Model No.: PW10A1
Bootloader 5.22

Thank you in advance

Download again with NB0 then upgrade from your SD.
Download again with nb1 then upgrade from your SD.
Thank you, socheat.
But I did download nb1 and I tried upgrading with the sd method and the upgrading was successfully but my device won't startup it shows only the splash screen ( NOT FOR SALE ** Powered By Micro$oft ** ) and nothing happen after this screen
I restored my old rom (3.18.04 ENG) and the device is working now, but I want to upgrade to WM2003 :roll:
Is that cuz I upgrade the Radio ? my old radio version was 3.25 ( not sure ).
Thank you , All

Got same problem with you Bailamos
My Bootloader is 5.17
Now by XDArit + SD flash + Wallaby patch, I brought my XDA back to 3.20.06 original from O2 already.
Wondering should I downgrade Bootloader to 5.15 or not?
In XDArit it has one upper box which we can put Bootloader in.
Should I put something like "loader515.nb0" in that box during loading OS on SD?????
UP :? Please
update
Please , I need help.
I tried to downgrade my device:
Bootloader 5.22 => 5.15
ROM 3.18.04 => 14.04
I thought it may help upgrading but that complicate the problem!!
NOW , I can't do any upgrade. When I insert the SD card and start booting, it show me the boot screen : PRESS ACTION to start downloading. as soon as I press ACTION it show : GSM OK and nothing happened!!!! It looks like I pressed the exit button ( I PRESSED the ACTION )
The EXE method still not working , the same as before as soon as it shows : 5 min screen , my device restart and it lose the connection with the ActiveSynic
ANY one CAN help ? P L E A S E
Pretty Please
Thank you
yes it will loose sync, but just leave it there!
some times it takes 10 minutes
but it will finish updating, trust me! that worked several times for me.
Thank you , ntabikha.
I'll give it a shot right now.
it didn't work
when my device re-start , the Program ( 1.09 ) show this message:
Can not open a COM/USB Port. Please use Device Manager on PC to make sure that COM/USB port is available and working properly
and terminate immediately after pressing " Ok "
I think there is something I don't know !! but there is someone may know !!
Is that happening cuz I upgraded my Radio Stack ?????????? ???? ???
It was something about 3.xx and it is now 4.21 !!!!!
Hi Guys,
I need your help .
I've downloaded the 4.00.16 ROM by mistake, it really didn't tell the ROM number, so now I want to revert to a earlier one and I can't.
I've got the following message: "ERROR: GetDeviceData - An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine.
error getting devicedata" and then "ERROR 011: EXECUTE REMOTE COMMUNICATION PROGRAM ERROR. Cannot execute the remote communication program. Please make sure that the USB/Serial cable is properly connected."
PLEASE HELP ME, I'M REALLY STUCK NOW AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...

Have you tried doing it without the Wallaby patch part? If not give that a try, no on the bootloader downgrade part!

1. download drivers, rsd lite 4.7 and 4.9 (tried with both), nordic sbf
2 installed drivers and rsd lite
3 unzipped nordic sbf
4 started rsd lite and selected nordic sbf file

as it was flashing, it came up with fail!
"error verifying code group 39 checksums. file: 0x558B, Phone: 0xF0C3( 0x4007031);"
now my defy only goes to a black screen with bootloader at the top "09.10"
is there anything i can do????can any please give me some advice please
Your sbf file could-be corrupted.
I suggest you to download a new one and flash it with rsd 4.9.
Hope it can help you.
thnaks for your reply
thanks for your reply MisterWB
i have tried other sbf files already. still no luck
it saids something about HAB error 0x8D

um... if you can extract the zip, it seems the sbf is not corrupted.
maybe you could go to stock recovery first (volume down+power),
wipe data and wipe cache, reboot.
try to flash sbf again.
ive tried that...
i think now its totally BRICKED...
there is no response from it, when i plug usb it charges but thats it.
man...looks like i need a phone
http://modmymobile.com/forums/31-rizr-z3/51338-critical-error-dea1.html
there you'll find another couple of links for Mac Gyver's remedies.. but they're for other moto phones, not specific for Defy, so i actually don't know what you can do.
Someone in that site wrote:
DEA1
'' CRITICAL ERROR DEAD '' means ur phone chip flash died , so u cant flash any more

Bad luck, but what about the warranty?
Despite your Defy is not "original" anymore i would try to send it to moto's assistance. Many of the times they just replace the bricked phone w/o many investigations..
Hi, today i was trying the same. Nordic sbf with rsd lite 4.9 and it could not be flashed till end... "Error verifying Code Group..." and similars in log file.
I dont have any critical error or HAB error yet.
Any further idea?
Battery charged?
If yes, then go to recovery (power button + volume down) wipe data/wipe cache and reflash nordic sbf with rsd lite.

I press volume down first, then power button. It remains black, however i see the backlight is turned on after i press power on of course. If i release power first, the same screen appears as mentioned (bootloader 09.10, code corrupt, ... USB), this one is the normal bootloader mode by the way (power on, while pressing volume up). So and if i release volume down first, of course it happens nothing, backlight is still on.
I think the flash is corrupted somewhere, as assumed RSD Lite log:

hey...
i have the same exact problem as you have/had..
did you get a fix??
i'm still trying..
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C7DMWX8S
Here you have RSD Lite v5 (the last 1 i think) and motorola drivers....both of them are working (tested myself).....install these then try to reflash nordic
I guess no1 of you had gingerbread installed (leaked GB not miui or cm7)
just got JORDN_U3_97.21.51 to work.. with a fresh download and a fresh pc!!
that just made my day!
but... when i tried to wipe everything and then flash the Nordic rom suggested.. i get a black screen and nothing to work..
any ideas?
None of you guys ever heard of the flashing downgradability issues??
That is not only between froyo and eclair: if you flash a newer froyo sbf, you can't flash the old after and would likely get black screen or boot loops.
Flashing a new signed sbf is not a game and you should learn a few things first.
This seems like good place to ask my question. After my phone bricked and would only go to the bootloader screen like the guys above I took it to Motorola who said I needed a new motherboard.The new motherboard had 2.2 already loaded, now I would like to go to the Nordic rom but I am worried that my 2.2 will be newer and I will end up with the dreaded black screen our stuck on the Moto logo if I try to flash Nordic. Is there something I can look at to determine if I can go to Nordic from my current rom?

jst a quick question ... is it GB or Gingerbread and if i flash it ... .can i get back to stock 2.2.2 froyo ? cause i m already running stock GB by shadow 134 built ..... so please tell me if i can go back to 2.2.2 or not after i flash it ....
i know its basic but maybe someone forgot it.
when you flash with rdslite make sure the sbf's name is not too long because then the software cant flash the sbf properly

[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.

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.
This thread explains everything: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
Use an external charger or another phone to fully charge your battery and then plug it in and RSDLite will detect it.

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?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
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.
