Everybody in here, I need your help. I have a problem that is currently unresolved. I have a Motorola Milestone, I bought it last year in Singapore. I've changed the firmware to version of gingerbread. I think the firmware is less suitable for my Motorola Milestone and I want to change it as the beginning of the Motorola firmware original. but, when I want to change it, always failed. I waited until the long hours but no result. it's said "waiting to find the latest firmware". So, I want to ask for help all of you who have a way out. Please, tell me how fix it.
Which software to use to change the original firmware?
How do I operate?
Where can I download it?
etc.?
Please, tell me.
HELP ME..!!!

You can download official 2.2.1 for Singapore from here. Use rsdlite to flash. There are many guides in the milestone development thread for it.
If you want to choose different sbf files, you can check here.
Procedure is here.
I have just moved this question here from the General section, hope that's the right move.
I have just managed to root my old LG P880/4xHD using advice from this forum. Thought I would try on an old phone first. One reason I tried is because I cannot update Android via the usual About phone, Software updates, Check now for updates. The Android version installed is 4.0.3. I am in Australia and it is possible the phone is an overseas model (got it from a friend in LG). Has "Not for Resale" stamped inside the back cover. When I try to update Android, I get an error message "Registered Error - Your device is not registered yet." I had hoped rooting would get around this but it hasn't. Have looked up old forum posts and there is talk of using .kdz files and all sorts of other things. Can anyone help me get around this registration issue but please be aware I am a novice and most of the older posts I read, I couldn't understand, so simple explanations please. Thanks, Peter

You need root privileges to read and write to the efs folder. You can try flashing the Odin files, but it will wipe your phone so back everything up.

I'm not going to do that, and I doubt most other people would be willing to give you their efs folder. I understand the predicament you're in and I'm sure you are well-intentioned, but this would give your phone the same IMEI as my phone. First off it is illegal to have two phones with the same IMEI, second you could potentially report the IMEI stolen and lock my phone or worse. While I don't think you'd be malicious it, I'm just not comfortable giving it to you.
This would be very similar to somebody giving you a copy of their license plate from their car because yours fell off. It's just bad idea.
Since Odin won't work (it should), I suggest calling Samsung support and tell them you received an OTA update via AT&T and your phone doesn't work. Unfortunately you're going to have to lie and tell them that you were in the United States on AT&T's network, but hopefully you can send it in for a warranty repair.
In the future (I'm assuming you bought the phone for full price and it isn't subsidized by your carrier), always buy the international version of a phone with an unlocked bootloader. If you're paying full price for a phone there is no reason not to buy a bootloader unlocked phone because you would have a lot more options if you run into problems. Sorry I can't help, but hopefully you are able to resolve your proble.

I understand the predicament you're in and I understand that you have software that will change the IMEI to your value, but even if you are able to do that, how are you going to get it on the phone? As I said before you need root privileges to read or write to the efs folder. So even if you are able to make the changes with the software you found you have no way of loading it to the phone so you're still in the same situation you are now, you just have my efs folder.
There should be a local Samsung representative in your country, try calling them, maybe you won't have to ship it to the US.

yes youre right i need root privileges to do it in the phone however i have learn how to créate a image file to flash it into the phone with ODIN i have found that this has been done in some older models like in the Galaxy note 2 or Galaxy s3 you can find that info just for you to make sure that im not lying to you. thats why im insisting on this cause i have found similar problems with those phones and the way to fix this is the one im trying to do. i understand that this may sound suspicious but im not trying to do anything wrong with your phone im just trying to fix mine i understand that is not your problem but maybe i can find a solution for other guys who will have this kind of problem.
i know is not your problem but please sir let me try and probably i can do something good and then i can share what i learn here
and here i have Samsung Guatemala yes youre right and i have took my phone to them and they were not able to fix it. because its not from the country and they cant do anything on this case so im stucked to this

So you're going to run into another problem then, the bootloader on this phone is locked so you will not be able to flash anything that isn't signed by Samsung. If we were able to flash things to the phone then we would be able to root and install custom recovery. You're pretty much screwed, you still don't have a way to get the efs on to your phone.
The ML2 Odin files should fix the issue you're having, but as you mentioned before it isn't. Did you flash the ML2 bootloaders? If you didn't then you can always downgrade to MF1 or MI2 and root the phone. I'm sorry I can't help you, but you really don't have any way of getting the modifying the efs folder on your phone without root.
Greetings.
Very recently, there was an official/OTA update for P7-L10. And I subsequently downloaded and tried to update it as soon as it finishes downloading.
But, when it tried to update, it keeps failing. Is the update wrong? or is there something missing that I am not clearly seeing it?
My current version, out of the box - P7-L10V100R001C00B133SP01
and the update (online update) is (as mentioned) : P7-L10_SouthPacific_C00B620.
Please advise me on what might have went wrong?
Thank you.

Do you have TWRP or CWM installed? Was your phone brand new or pre-owned? Do you have custom rom or stock rom?

Nope, I do not have those installed. This is a brand new phone running stock rom.
Ok, I guess your phone is not branded (vodafone, orange, etc.), so get the b609 update and install it.
If you had firmware 133, how come you got SAE update? Where did you buy your phone?

Yep, it's not. Hmm. I am unsure as to how or where I can get the B609 update, because ever since I first laid my hands on this phone, it has been running B133 out of the box. And, since, in between then and now, I have been going to the system update to look for any update prior to this one that I am currently having a problem to update, and there was no new update (until, again, now )
Also, previously I did went online on my PC to find an update B609, and downloaded it and tried to do a local update. and unfortunately for me, it caused my phone to be soft-bricked, and back then, I have not turned on my USB debugging or did any major changes to my phone, thus, requiring me to send my phone to the service centre. So, I'm kinda weary about downloading an update online from my PC, as of now.
Well, I am not sure what SAE is, and to answer that question, again, I do not know how I may have gotten the update. I bought my phone from where I am currently living, Malaysia.
Can you make a print screen of your SAE update problem?
sorry, but um, can you please enlighten me as to what is SAE? I am truly sorry for not knowing this.

Hey there, I couldn't really printscreen it, as it was in the updating process (the one with the Android bot and the black screen behind) anyway, it just it failed. That's all.
Here's however, a printscreen of the update.

So OTA fails., what's the code of error (why it fails)?
Also, you can try manual update or the "3 button update" (it is described in the forum).
But the most important thing is to know why it fails.
P.S. You can take print screens from the Hisuite during update or when it fails

Hi piring, I've encounter the same issue with updating from B133SP01 to B620, my set is a"SOUTH PACIFIC" model.
I even brough my set to the huawei service centre to see if the technician over there can solve the issue but unfortunately, they are just as clueless as I am..... They did a factory reset of my set and tried to install the update again but the update still fail to install. There is no error code but only "fail" word appearing. They claim it's because my set was rooted but when I have unroot my phone, it still.can't update.
So if you managed to successfully updated your set, can you share with me how to go about it? Thanks.

Oh. well, to be honest, I kinda given up hopes on how to update it. And with that, I am still clueless as to how to update it. I have tried using HiSuite, but to my surprise, HiSuite mentioned that my phone is already up to date. So, I am honestly puzzled as to how my phone is pushing for an OTA, but HiSuite insists that my phone model is of current and latest update.
Sorry I am unable to help you.

Hi piring, same thing goes for my HiSuite as well. It's kinda of sucks that the update is available but can't update. It's even more worse that Huawei service centre cannot do anything about it and just tell me forget about the update and ignore the notification. Now i have a phone with a permanent notification mark that i cannot get rid of.
P7-L10 is a good phone but the support i'm getting from Huawei service centre is really unprofessional and disappointing.
But anyway, thanks for your reply.
Hello everyone,
I have my tablet SM-T713 which finds itself completely blocked following a dumpling on my part:
I had activated a software which prevented the installation of software etc on the tab and wanting to simply reset, I had the ingenious idea of making a Wipe data and attempted an installation of a full firmware via Odin above .
Fatal error ! Unable to write on it (MDM) and I find myself in bootloop without the possibility of writing on it or anything.
I tried the TWRP flash without success, I cannot try in ADB or SD : refused.
Is there a tiny hope or can I use it freezbie?
Thank you really much by advance.
Jonathan

Well I don't know how to build it (yet?) but as I'm interested to know as well, I've asked for how-to on that specific page.
Downloaded a stock T713 ROM and unpacked it.
It contains .mbn files but no .edf I can't identify all what the .mbn are for, if these would be sufficient or more/others are needed.
And of course don't know if the found ones could usefully be flashed with the QPST.
Hope the guy from that page will give positive answers.

The guy wrote an answer but not helpful at all:
<Hi. In case of Samsung devices, the only thing that will work is the Odin program. It’s hard to see a Samsung device getting hard bricked, just because Samsung has all those critical partitions blocked from being flashed. If you ever come across a soft-brick, you can just use Frija to download the latest Odin-flashable firmware and push it through Odin.>
So sorry.
