Defy stucks on white LED / RSD detects nothing

dirkdiggler17 · Jan 2, 2011

Hi,

I'm a proud owner of the Motorola Defys and was happy until yesterday :-(
I have already read much in the forum and everything about the Defy.
My problem has already tried a post by someone :

1. Jan. 2011 ... As always, I close with my laptop to Defy the load on - but nothing happened. Only a white LED is on permanently.

Its similar in my case:

- Defy flashed with RSD (UK U3 2.1)
- RSD showed: Finished,

...but the
- Defy is not booting anymore
- LED light is white

- RSD does not recognize my Defy
- Charge the battery: Defy did not respond
- :-(

I'm desperate .. and hope to find some answears here...

Best Regards

ditto except mine actually goes through the boot pic and then loops. If I try to boot to USB cable restore (Volume up+boot) =white light. : (

hi there,

I had this after upgrading to the UK 2.5.1 and then wanting to run a 2.34 build.

If you plug the usb cable into the phone while rsdlite is active, the table below should say connected. Simply reflash the full version of 2.5.1 again and it works fine. There is then a method on the forum about gaining root access on 2.5.1. This worked fine for me and i am now running the clean 2.34 blurless rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=894650 and this is superb and highly recommended.

As long as you get connected in rsdlite, dont worry your phone isnt bricked and you should have it up and running in no time at all!.

If you get really stuck, i can quite easily get mine into the "state" yours is and do a little video or document the steps for you if that helps.

ja, that means you have less voltage then you need to boot.

send it back or reload the battery, no chance of getting it up with no bootloader

*edit* me post is not related to andy fletcher, but to you two.

if ye connect the cable to load the battery, does there appear a sign of a batt with a questionmark in it?

Sorensiim · Jan 2, 2011

First of all: Unplug the phone and power it off. Now hold the [Volume up] button while powering on the phone. Now you get to the bootloader. If it says battery ok, connect the USB cable and go nuts, RSD Lite will detect the phone when it's in the bootloader.

If it says "Battery Low, Cannot program", you can either send it in, hoping they'll just replace it without figuring out you have been rooting and flashing the phone. Or you can do what I did here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10264115 - Just take your time and pay attention to what your'e doing and you'll be fine

Mine acted like the battery had collapsed, reporting "Battery Low, cannot program" after 12 straight hours of charging, but after the usb jumplead trick, the battery has been just fine. I suspect that the problem was in the phone the whole time and being force-fed 5 volts snapped it out of it. Be sure to post what happens when using another battery!

Many thanks to Sorensiim!! wow it worked! I have used the battery of my friend who is also a Defy owner ....

the problem was the black screen ..

I could not see that the Defy was hanging and my battery was too low indeed... .... I had to continue to work with screen black and start the boot loader (Volume up and power on) and then the RSD has also finally recognized my Defy.... I'm going to flash the CleanJitDeodexd2.34CE and keep you informed. .. hopefully l finally also my market will work ......

thanks to all the nice guys discussed with me my problem... i am proud to be a member here ...thanks guys!!!

I got mine stuck on white led also, this was because of a mid rom flash interrupt (the cable got pulled out, dont ask who did it cuz i dunno)
Nothing i do makes the phone work, RSD did recognise my phone the first 2 times with white led and i tried to flash a rom but after it said "pass" the result was the same .. no image no bootloader just white led when phone is connected to pc.

cbfflo · May 4, 2011

Hi everybody. I also have the same problem like astearon. I tried the jumper cable solution but no result: rsd lite don't recognize my defy, i can flash it but it don't reboot after flash, just black screen.
Thanks to people which will help me!
(sorry for my english!)

hmdknight · May 9, 2011

try some other versions, preferably downgradable, try your original one
I had the same problem after flashing a higher version then noticed it is not supposed to be flashed on the original version my defy was on.

so how come you can flash your phone with RSD Lite, if it doesn't recognize your phone ??

defy_rohit · May 13, 2011

Hi All,

I am also having the same problem i.e., white led and RSD lite is able to recognize my defy. Tried to flash Defy_2_2_CN.sbf rom. Not sure what to do.

Appreciate if any one can suggest me something.

Thanks

Listen everybody!!

You DO NOT have to use the jumpercable method thingy..
You just have to buy an AC power supply and charge your defy...
It will light up after some minutes!!!
Sometimes when the battery is COMPLETELY low (empty) you cannot charge by plugging your phone to the PC over PC, only the white LED lights up..

But if you charge it by the AC power supply IT WILL CHARGE!!

From my own experience.

AC power supply what you mean by that?

is it the wall charger that come with the box (charger+usb cable) ?? or like a built in wall charger like the normal one??

(*try charing with charger come with defy, finger cross) !!!!

Original wall charger not working ~~~

But Mcguyver Hack Works!!!!
