[Defy General] mimel:
Yours probably is not burnt and might get back to normal by flashing the latest T-Mobile or uk sbf.

A burnt flash light can flash everytime but with very weak white light and ends with green/blue. It's unrecoverable even upgraded to the latest sbf or downgraded to 2.1.
[Defy General] Darkcaptain:
It is not my case, I have tried all the ROMS and does not work .. do not see any white light, only a very very small light blue-green.

I tried all the ROMS, I have the UK currently 3.4.2, but I also tried the T-Mobile and earlier ones, spent several days doing tests ...
[Defy General] vince89:
I had the similiar trouble, only first flash and then a reboot was needed. Finally I managed to have normal flash.

What I did?

It is not just sufficient to flash another rom, but to meticulously follow a recipe. In this case I went from 2.21 Stock Rom Central Europe to 2.34 JIT Version, flash still normal. Then Chinese 2.2 ROM, flash only at first time, then reboot needed. I went back to 2.34 JIT Version, flash normal again. Then after a while when the UK 2.2 version came out, I still waited till Higgsy found out how to circumvent the flash troubles: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934366

It is for all people who never flashed a non downgradable 2.51 UK Version.

Just follow meticulously every step in Higgsy thread. If flash is working, please inform us here we also need positive affirmation :D
[Defy General] Foxhound.kl:
This process of Higgsys has been followed many times by myself, and I still have this flash issue. Problem is that when 2.1 firmwares are flashed via RSD Lite, the flash issue remains, and not working as usual as you and Higgsy have described. I'm going to try to uninstall the windows drivers and RSD Lite, reinstall these fresh, and then start the whole process again to see if that makes any difference.
[Defy General] Darkcaptain:
In my case, I have the ROM 3.4.2 UK and this ROM is not "downgrade" but I followed the steps of Higgsy and I do not work, I think my case is different from yours and my Flash is Burnt ...

Thanks for you help...
[Defy General] bobdigby:
I think it must be burnt as I have never used the camera flash fixes in some of the ROMS when the camera flash was dodgy and now I am higgsys 3.4.2 ROM and all is good. Cheers
[Defy General] Foxhound.kl:
Ok, so I'm still facing this problem on my phone where the camera flash is either out of sync, which flashes brightly too early before image capture, and takes the picture as if no flash was on at all. This occurs on all camera apps on all ROMS installed will all methods, and the flash doesn't work at all on any flashlight apps.

After doing some research, I have found similar issues on other motorola phones, which may or may not help in this regard.

There seems to be a cutoff to the flash reported on Droid phones, either disabling or weakening the flash if the battery threshold is below 30-40%. When the phone has a higher charge than 30-40% or is plugged in to charge, this has eliminated this problem. It seems the driver to the camera flash can determine what your battery level is, despite what your phone is reading out, so if your reading is inaccurate, the flash will cutoff or weaken if below this threshold.

To solve the battery indiactor inaccuracy, follow the steps in the link below using ADB or Clockwork recovery to reset battery stats. Instead of turning off the phone when instructed, take the battery out of the phone for 10 secs and put back in for good measure;

http://androinica.com/2010/02/11/tip-how-to-fix-your-androids-battery-issues-rooted-devices/

Don't know if this will work for people with the flash problem on the Defy, but its worth a try. I haven't tested this. I will later and report back.

I was thinking about the build prop as well, as this seems to feature some lines pertaining to the flash intensity, as quoted by mflich in another post;

Can anyone else with flash problems see what is stated in their bulld prop lines for the flash? Maybe we can alter some values to solve our problems?
[Defy General] Darkcaptain:
My flash dont work on today, But I dont have problems synchronizing or low light intensity, light Does Not Work, That appears on the flash is so so small That Is Not Appreciated in a dark room completely.

I think there has been "melted" FlashLED, this strange yet it seems that happened to me when I put the Chinese ROM Froyo and since then no work with any other ROM.

If I indicate that I can do tests to try to fix it, I will.

EDIT: Where are these lines? as I can watch them?

Sorry for my english!!! ... and thanks for the help!
[Defy General] Foxhound.kl:
You need the PropEditor-0.3.apk from the follwoing link. Be really careful with this, you can modify your system files and possibly brick your phone. Make a backup of your .prop first in this app before making any changes.

[Defy General] ellendel:
I have the same issue with the flash that you, Foxhound.kl. I found a temporal solution to the desync. I turn on the led with the tesla app, and then i launch the camera with the auto-flash enabled.

After the first photo the led is turned off, but the tesla app keep running in the background and some way make the flash to be sync and work properly in the other photoes.

Sry for my english.
[Defy General] Darkcaptain:
Appears to me the same thing:
[Defy General] ellendel:
ro.media.capture.classification=classH

ro.media.capture.flash=led

ro.media.capture.flashIntensity=41

ro.media.capture.flip=horizontalandvertical

ro.media.capture.maxres=5m

ro.media.capture.panorama=0

ro.media.capture.shuttertone=1

ro.media.capture.torchIntensity=25

I also have these same values.
[Defy General] Foxhound.kl:
Thanks for this suggestion, but Tesla or any other flashlight apps don't work anymore.
[Defy General] Darkcaptain:
No more info for this problem?
[Defy General] Foxhound.kl:
No sollution for me yet. I like the idea of the undowngradable FW being downgradable in the Dev forum "Which SBF code group prevents downgrade", but it seems no one has tested yet, so will wait for that one to be tested before I go and use it. Hope it may solve my flash problem!
[Defy General] Perilla_:
With Camera 360, I touch the flash button till the flash is always on, then, the next photo have the flash fixed, but the next is darker again. Thats maybe a sync problem.
[Defy General] Perilla_:
Tesla works with UK Froyo. Select "Motorola Droid" on "Settings", "Led Method".

While flash is on with tesla, photos with flash are ok, it's something we can use till we don't find a permanent solution.
[Defy General] unrafa:
My flash is weak ALL THE TIME. it looks so yeallow all the time, when it focus is yellow and when it turn off and flashes for the picture, same intensity and all.. adlx 2.0 rom
[Defy General] dos5gw:
I think the "camera circuit board" on Chinese device is different from European,

maybe the working voltage of flashlight is too high,and damage your flashlight

[G Tablet General] tekseven:
I have a new G-Tab. I was able to install ClockworkMod and update to the latest version of TnT Lite without an issue.

I stupidly installed ROM Manager and allowed it to install the new ClockworkMod Recovery. I realize now that I should not have allowed it to do that, as cwm 0.8 works better than cwm 0.12.

Now, I am unable to boot my tablet, specifically every time I shut the tablet off it goes into APX mode.

I have installed the APX drivers, the NVidia Tegra SDK, and have used NVflash. Using NVflash I am able to flash back to stock. I have tried using NVflash to flash clockworkmod back to recovery. Despite this, whenever I reboot the tablet, I am right back into APX mode. The only way to get my tablet back to working is to flash back to stock and allow NVflash to boot directly into the stock image. Once I turn off the tablet, I am unable to do anything except run NVflash again to get myself back into stock TnT.

I did not use NVflash with anything other than "nvflash_gtablet_2010110500". I did not use --odmdata. I have tried both Power+Vol(-), Power+Vol(+), Power+both Vols. With any of these methods I am unable to tell any difference in the power state of the tablet. The NVflash batch file is able to reflash the device without issue.

The battery is fully charged and I did not flash without using AC power.

Please excuse my verbosity but I am trying to answer all possible questions and be as specific as possible.

I am unable to boot my GTab after updating ClockworkMod to the newest version through ROM Manager. I have tried every recovery method I have found, and am unable to do anything but boot the stock image. Once I power down the tablet, I am unable to do anything except flash the stock image again. What are your suggestions?
[G Tablet General] muqali:
There is an option to install bekit08 from the ROM Manager I think. Down towards the bottom. Once you nvflash into the stock OS have you tried installing ROM manager and letting it reflash the 08 CWM?
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Join the limited club :(

You can nvflash the recovery.img from Bekit, just hold the Volume + when you push enter on your computer's keyboard.

ie...(recovery named bekit.img in this example)

have tablet attached via USB, have tablet in APX mode..

nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 bekit.img --go

press and hold Volume + on the tablet and immediately press ENTER on the computer to execute the above line.

This will push clockworkmod to the tablet and then boot into recovery. Use recovery to mount USB so you can copy whichever ROM you want to the device....

dismount USB, wipe system (factory reset option in recovery) then install ROM from sdcard.

When completed....and you reboot....of course it won't do anything...

So....while attached and in APX mode...

nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 bekit.img --go [ENTER]

This reflashes the recovery and boots the tablet.

Voila....VEGAn or TnT-lite installed. Configure, use....never reboot or power off.

If you must power off.....use nvflash to "force boot" the tablet again.

I have to do this on one of mine.

See this post...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903684
[G Tablet General] tekseven:
I will try this.

[Edit]

ROM Manager installed, but the only option now is Advent Vega. I understand they are similar but I am not going to try flashing the Advent Vega CM image, especially considering I don't think it will fix the issue. (I have no problem flashing CMW, I can just never get into recovery.) Thank you for the suggestion though!

[Edit #2]

I tried it anyways, despite my reasoning against it. I had options to change to CMW 2.5.1.0, 2.5.1.1, 2.5.1.3, 2.5.1.4 (curiously no 2.5.1.2, which is what caused this all). I was unable to change to these other CMW recoveries, it gave me an error.

This is exactly the symptoms I'm experiencing. That's disappointing. I hope the latest two posts or so end up working!
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
Are you able to boot into the version of CWM that was installed?
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
My suggestion....if it's within the return period of wherever you purchased.....take it back and swap it out.
[G Tablet General] tekseven:
Nope.

Yessir, these are the words I was expecting to hear. Gonna do that today...
[G Tablet General] makto:
I believe this is easier

I had issues with mine when I first started as well. I found that by using my sd card and renaming the sdcard in the "command" file I was able to recover. I still have issues but I am able to recover. I also still rely heavily on nvflash but I can install crm without forcing it. I am also able to use the power option on the device.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbeier1221:
Was your battery low when you tried flashing? It will not charge in bootloader mode so if you're battery is low you will have issues. If you boot with volume up pressed does it give you a message?

Try the Mcgyver battery fix found in this forum.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beach_Head:
I had that problem while trying the "Flash FroYo without losing downgradeability" solution: SBF Problem

After downloading, flashing every other available official ROM, and failing with each one, and seeing that no other SBF fro T-Mo exists anywhere, I bit the bullet and flashed the T-Mo signed FroYo ROM. And it worked!

So now I may have screwed myself over by flashing the leaked ROM but hey, it works well and is fast. Plus, it's FroYo so I now have A2SD and built-in Tethering...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beach_Head:
Actually, all you have to do is press the power button while the LED is on and RSDLite is running. You will hear the USB detection sound and your phone will appear on the list. It won't appear as it normally would but it will be listed.

Then just choose the Froyo ROM and then click start to flash it. It'll take less than 10 minutes...

There's no other way that I know of to get it working. Even in the link that I posted, you can check and see that no one even bothered to give me an idea of what to do. I had to figure this out myself.

I figured it was the bootloader protection that was causing the problem so the logical choice was to flash the only T-Mo ROM available which happens to be the leaked Froyo.

It's been almost 24 hours and I've had no problems with FroYo so as far as I'm concerned, I'm good.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaihg:
Yes all i wanted to say was that you might have lost your downgradability and thats why phone does not boot. Simple thing is to flash the original sbf like what beachhead suggested. It definitely should work.

If anyone of you already running Froyo and flash stucked in black screen, moto logo or bootloader. Just flash another froyo sbf. This is because you would never be able to downgrade back to Eclair 2.1 after flashing full froyo sbf. Use RSDlite 4.9 or 5.0 with latest drivers installed. If problem persist... try another PC.
