Serious problem: Defy won't boot anymore!

[Vistaus]

So I installed the downgradeable 2.3.4 on the Defy. It worked fine except for a few things. So I wanted to start over. I rebooted into bootloader-mode and flashed a stock 2.1 to have a fresh start. But now the Defy won't boot anymore. Everything remains black after pushing the power button. The only thing that still works is the bootloader. I tried to flash the 2.1 again, but still the same problem. Screen remains black. Not even the Motorola-logo. Battery was fully charged, so that's not the problem.

What can I do to make it work again?

Thanks, gonna try that (apart from the factory reset in that guide as I can't get to the bootloader anymore). But I'm gonna try and flash that SBF

When I try to flash that unique SBF I get the following error:

I even tried to flash the fixed downgradeable 2.3.4 again, but still the problem happens. Is it something with the hardware perhaps?

 

[Vistaus]

Why can't anyone help me with this? This is a serious problem!

You can try this (no warranties) use at own risk:

if your phone works again i only use nandroids and fixed SBF's for example use the nandroid described here:

[Vistaus]

Thanks, but the first link, that's the one I tried and gave me the error above.

 

[gommers1978]

Did you ty another original 2.1 sbf with the cg31 and cg39 not edited?

 

[Vistaus]

Yes, but then the screen remains black

 

[gommers1978]

Yes, but then the screen remains black

Allso not possible to get into recovery? Hold volume down while placing battery and press power.

Other thing you could try:

Allso read this:

YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE TO 2.1 WHEN YOU FLASH THIS.

 

[Vistaus]

Nope. Recovery is inaccesible. I'll try that T-Mo ROM later on. Thanks so far

Did you find out a fix? i'm having the same issue, already flashed everything the internet had to trow at me and nothing helping... The download mod just show up in the RSD (in he phone screen it shows up only when flashing), after flashing it comes back to black and theres no Recovery, anyone can help?

i had the same problem, tried to downgrade from cm10 to chinese 2.1, and the black screen came... Then i tried the McGyver hack, didn't work.
nd now, i found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15341774&postcount=8 it worked for me.
