Motorola Defy stuck in animation loop with CynogenMod7 I have installed CynogenMod7 (Jordan) on my Motorola Defy using ClockworkMod Recovery.

The phone boots up, first with a screen saying "Google" and then an animation of the Android mascot skateboarding into a cyan circle with "Cyanogen7(mod)" appearing at the bottom.

The phone then goes into a loop of this animation - the mascot skateboards in, the circle and name appears - repeat.

I have been unable to enter "fastboot" mode (by pressing power button along with volume up+down keys). I did do a back-up of my previous ROM onto my SDCard.

What should I do to fix this?
Thank you for your answers everyone. Unfortunately I was unable to boot into Clockworkmod Recovery.

Fortunately I found the following solution:


Downloaded and installed RSD Lite (on Windows 8 Professional x64)
Downloaded and installed the Motorola USB Drivers
Downloaded a SBF image from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordan/list.php
Started RSD Lite
Booted the Defy with Power and Volume Up buttons
Plugged the Defy into my computer via a USB cable (my USB3.0 hub seemed to cause problems so I plugged it directly into a USB2.0 on my laptop)
Inside RSD Lite I selected the SBF image file on my computer.
Selected "Uncompress and Start Flashing" in RSD
Waited for phone ROM to get flashed.
Enjoy working phone


Just as a note - if you run into any annoying Motoblur authentication issues you may have to do a factory reset on the phone. This will clear all your user data and can be done in the follow way:


Boot the Defy with Power and Volume Down buttons
The Android mascot with the triangle/exclamation mark should appear
Press both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons at the same time
You should enter the standard "Recovery Mode"
Use the Volume Up/Down buttons to navigate the menu items
Select "wipe data/ factory reset" with the Power button
Confirm
