My bootloader shows error "Code Corrupt"

I tried flashing JORDN_U3_97.21.51 without success (checksum errors)

Is there a way to wipe data/cache without recovery? The phone boots directly to bootloader regardless of how you start it. I cant get any recovery.

Can sbf_flash for linux delete a few partitions (with the cache) without flashing a rom?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NomadRip:
I just wanted to express my love for this walkthru. After getting a bit too quick to start pushing buttons, what I thought would be a quick little update to this new hand-me-down Defy turned into several hours of wondering if I'd ever be able to get it to even light up again.

I'll pay closer attention to the forums before trying to mess with Android again. :cyclops:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navinshark:
If RSD is able to recognise ur phone means try to flash DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-137_ND this sbf, this s actually Defy plus's sbf, u can flash this, if u have Defy (Green) for other roms u may face problem for camera, but afterwords if u flash CM10 (Quarx) camera will work fine cause he s using custom kernel which s common for Defy and Defy plus.

I dont think so that u can wipe cache with out entering in to recovery, u can try stock recovery mode if ur phones starts with moto logo, by pressing volume down button and power button together.

But if u flash this sbf there will be no downgrade to froyo r eclair.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fontinalis:
Thanks! :D

Followed your steps in the first post and got Cyanogenmod 7.2 back up and running after battling boot logo loops with WhiteRabbit 2.1. Got WR 1.8 installed with the same instructions but kept on getting "no space" errors when installing all my apps so decided to stick with CM.

My storage on the Motorola Defy shows 128MB of internal storage available and 51.63MB free after a fresh install of CM 7.2 and Google Apps. Does this seem correct for this phone?

Guess I could keep installing apps and see if I get the out of space errors again.

Much appreciated, and have a Happy New Year!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zach21:
No recovery, I get the bootloader screen with an error "Code Corrupt". I tried this rom and it didn't work, same checksum errors.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] navinshark:
So now go back and try to flash once again JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf

First remove battery and SD card and if u need sim card as well, then replace only battery and try. Some times it even gave me check sum error. Which defy u have green r red.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zach21:
Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried that again without sim and sd card with a couple of other roms. Same problem. Brick.

cant restore, couldn't open directoy

Hello and thank you for a great post, i do however have some problems. I have been having major problems with trying to unbrick this phone (see my other posts)

I have redownloaded and reflashed everything iaw your guide except rsd lite and superone click from your links in case there were any mods on my copy of the sbf

item 7. extract the 2011-06-11.14.14.27.zip into this folder on your sd card "/clockworkmod/backup/"

I dont have a folder on my sd card of that name and cant create one using forward slash.

item 9. make sure you have internet connectivity, press the install bootmenu option

i have internet via wifi only (the phone functions don't work at all on this build for me). Also i have `install 2nd init` and `unistall 2nd init` options. I`m not trying to be pedantic, I realise they're boot loaders but the problem with item 10 below may be connected if this is not what I`m meant to be seeing

item 10. now return to recovery menu and choose "backup/restore"->"restore->2011-06-11.14.14.27".

when i click restore i get the message "couldn't open directory. No files found " Also before this "Cache wipe complete. E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (file exists)" and before that " formatting SD Ext :... No app2sd partition found. skipping format of /sd-ext" .

Hopefully there is a straightforward fix for this as I`m on day 3 without a phone which isn't good for business.

Many thanks in advance for any help you can give with this.

Hi all, just tidying up my posts with the help of this walkthrough and the `new` JDGC_U6_2.13.0 sbf I now have a fully working defy green lense on cm10.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fontinalis:
Hello and thanks. I have had to use this recovery method a few times after encountering lots of force closes with WR and CM7. Don't know why but after signing up for a new gmail/google acount and tying that to the fresh install rather than my old account everything is working. Also did not install Google Play Services.

My question concerning this guide however; why the "stock recovery" rather than custom recovery needed on the last step?

Also, it would be great if you could have add an explanation for each step as to why it is needed and what it is doing. For example, why do we need to install the sbf, then recovery zip, then firmware zip.

Thanks again, things are running smoothly once more on my Defy.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lateraluis:
hi, i cant get the step of wipping data down, when i press volume down and insert battery I get the same bootloader screen.

Tried the sbf for my country and it failed, also tried an SBF for 3.4.3_11-Stock._BLUR.sbf and it still failed.

Is there another way to wipe data? or what else I can try?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timb138:
hi lateraluis

Not sure which stage you're at, does the phone boot at all and if so have you used the latest 2nd init?

If so try installing the older 2nd init I think its 2.1.3 and you should get the custom recovery screen.

The newer 2nd init doesn't work on some phones.

Guys, I am still struck with the brick. Even after flashing JORDN_U3_97.21.51.sbf nothing happens. the phone wouldn't boot.

Some backgroud: bought this yerterday with custom rom, MIUI-2.3.3 (ANDROID 2.3.7) preinstalled. flashed cm7 via recovery. Was working fine, till i flashed JRDNEM_U3_3.4.3-36-1_CHINESE_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTINT_P011_A013_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf via rsdlite.

After that it didn't boot. This sbf didn't help too. Any idea what am i doing wrong.

PS: As this is a preused set, i dont know which highest version SBF was installed previously.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forthe:
Irony is that I can flash any sbf with RSS lite, but my device can't boot. No screen turns on, no motor logo. My fault: didn't know which was the highest version sbf flashed earlier, did a Indian froyo sbf flash over cm7.2 (which came preinstalled) as this is a used second hand defy.

This guide too didn't help. Can I flash a gingerbread sbf as a last resort?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
Yes, i think you should go for a GB sbf, preferably DFP-231 retail taiwanese.

Here's a warning though -

IF YOU INSTALL GB SBF YOU CANNOT GO BACK. ALSO IF IT IS A GREEN LENS DEFY, THEN ONLY 2NDBOOT ROMS WILL WORK (CM9 AND ABOVE).

Good lord, man -- thanks for posting this! (and yes, have already hit thanks in OP, and would multiple times more if I could!)

I literally had this second-hand Defy+ for a day before I seemingly soft-bricked it into only a bootloader screen, and this thread saved me. My old phone died over the weekend and I needed an emergency smartphone quick, but knowing the ins and outs of flashing a Samsung Galaxy S was near useless switching to Motorola. I thought I'd be back up on CM10.x quick fast, but I guess I gotta slow down and read up on this stuff.

Anyway, thank you! There were a lot of guides on doing this, with a lot of similarities and the same file links, but yours was crystal clear. I followed it to a T and I'm back up, and very, very grateful. Cheers!
