[Q] HELP!!!

mclerenef1 · Jun 11, 2014

i had rooted the defy+ & installed cm7(i think because it had been a long time ago) for my friend
my friend did a reset on the phone since it was slowing down...
i think it has bricked...
because it doesn't turn on also
he got it checked at the service center, they said they have to change its motherboard
i doubt that....
i think the battery is dead too
will it charge even if the phone is bricked???
now how do i restore the phone back to stock????
any kind of suggestions will be appreciated

Use the Motorola factory cable guide to make the cable which should get you to the boot loader if your motherboard is fine

Pressing the power & volume down button wil take me to the bootloader right?

the screen doesn't lit up also

it's turn off (take the battery out if it's getting stuck at boot to make sure) then hold down power and vol UP to get to the boot loader

If you get no response with factory cable, your device may be hard bricked

EDIT: battery is charging via usb now
THANKS to @sevenrock

mclerenef1 · Jun 14, 2014

is it possible that the bootloader could be deleted???
because i was goin through some threads
twrp erased the internal storage along with the bootloader
thats what he claims...
just curious...
is dat possible?
btw i left the phone overnight connected(not the original moto cable, used sony cable) to my macbook pro(running win 8.1)
still the same
in rsd lite nothing shows up even after pressing down power+volume up

The McGyver method is very dangerous I would have sugested you not to use it because in my case I will never have the possibility of charging my phone via usb cable but with an universal charger and it can't be reverted so you are warned now,

Are you sure your battery is now charged to enter bootloader? It can't be erased, if not, then charge your battery with an universal charger then try to enter bootloader

If that's the case them I will ask him to buy those external chargers or check if his friends have the same phone
& get the battery charged

mclerenef1 · Jun 18, 2014

thekguy · Jun 18, 2014

Try a flash, if you have a black screen after flash try a bl7 sbf(dfp 231)

You can also try ticking ti omap blank flash in rsd

after seeing thekguy mentioning abt dfp 231 i just remembered that i had flashed that sbf when i had rooted the phone
the phone booted after flashing bl7 sbf(dfp 231)
i guess the phone was bricked
& when it gets bricked... it goes to bootloader i guess
because i didnt have to press any buttons to go into bootloader
i just connected to rsd lite & flashing started & the screen lit up saying "SW update in progress"
Thank you guys for all the help & suggestons:good:

I you have a bootloop , could not get into a recovery haven't a rooted devive with usb debugging on , first try a factory reset from stock recovery.....before & after sbf flash

p.s.: nice to see nearly unbrikable defy once more

one of the forum rules tells us first read and use search function to keep threads clean because of things happen again and again and again

nothing for bad. ...

cheers
