[Q] getting into fastboot mode on motorola milestone - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hi,
I recently bought an unlocked and rooted Motorola Milestone and found it unable to read any SD card. My research on this forum leads me to think that fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 in fastboot mode might fix the problem. But although I am able to get into bootload and recovery mode, I can find no way to get into fastboot mode to try out this fix!
Any help is very much appreciated!

Moved to Milestone area.

help me pls same problem :-s

Can i help me..............

Why do you even need to get into Fastboot? I don't even know of it for the Milestone.

Because it can help me Unbrick sdcard. My phone does not recognize the memory card. I can fix this if i have fastboot :-s
In cmd command (computer) if you have fastboot. You using command : "fastboot-windows oem enableqxdm 0". Then sdcard will ok I know it but i can't enable fastboot on milestone

There is no fastboot on Milestone.. Have you considered that maybe there are two possibilities: The SD Card is not compatible with the Milestone, but your card reader can read it, or that the SD Card slot in your Milestone might be broken? Try with another SD Card, and if it works, then you can transfer your stuff from the "broken" SD card to the one that works.

[Q] Hero does not recognize SD card & ADB does not work.

EDIT: I think that these steps are helpful for someone who has same issues.
(A) I fixed SDcard issue.
1. run into FASTBOOT mode (press VOL-UP + POWER in booting)
2. run the following command from PC: % fastboot oem enableqxdm 0
(B) I could not fix USB brick issue. But I can flash RUU to my cell (no ADB connect, S-ON)
1. make gold card (ref. http://psas.revskills.de/?q=goldcard)
2. put RUU into gold card
3. flash RUU via HBOOT
NOTE:
After these steps, USB may be still bricked. You should better use older RUU for getting root
without ADB commands by AndroRoot or others. (I used newest RUU so that I lost root forever. LOL)

ORIGINAL POST:
My Hero has some problems two days ago. I did many things but it still does not work well. How do I fix these problems? Could anyone give me an advice?
ROM: AOSP 2.3.3 (ver04/21/2011) w/ Firerats 1.5.3 (100 4) + Kifno Universal Scripts 1.5
Recovery: aospCWMod-HC-20110421.img (w/ firerat-recovery
SD card: 8GB(real size:7.45GB) (7.0GB FAT32 + 256ext4 + 128swap)
What happened:
* doesnt recognize SD card not only after booting but also from Recovery mode.
* cant connect with Hero via ADB not only from USB cable and also from wireless(ADB wireless)
(first, I could connect with Hero, but suddenly I couldnt)
* Any other functions on HERO may work well (Call, Network, Wifi are available)
* USB cable still supply power fortunately.
What did I do before this matter happened:
* "Backup Current ROM" via ROM Manager 4.1.0.0
It did not work well although messages (Waiting for SD card to mount (XXsec)) appear. After that my phone does not recognize SD card but ADB was still working.
* After doing "Partition SD card" via ROM Manager 4.1.0.0, typing "parted" on ADB and so on (as follows), ADB was gone.
What I did to solve this problem:
* Reformat and Repartiton SD card (8GB/FAT32, 8GB(FAT32+ext3(256MB)+swap(128MB))
* Change another SD card (4GB/FAT32)
* Try another USB cable
* Partition SD card via Recovery mode
* Partition SD card via ROM Manager 4.1.0.0
* (parted command does not exist on Recovery mode)
* Reinstall Android SDK on PC
Others:
* SD card can be read from Windows 7 after my HERO did not recognizing it. (All of data on FAT32 were copied from SD to other)
* On root in SD card I found some files I have never seen before.
Those names are "qxdm_(DATE)_(TIME)_1.dm"
This files are created after reformat SD card.
I tried a few:
* ext3 partition is changed from ext3 to ext4, but still not recognize.
* Fortunately ADB wireless WORKS.
What causes that my HERO does not recognize SD card on Recovery mode?
(SD slot destroyed? or not?)
Can I reinstall recovery image and reflash ROMs via ADB wireless without using SD card? (If I can, does it make my HERO a brick?)
Any idea?

It sounds like you sorta found a solution. I would say it sounds like you're running too many tweaks. Why are you formatting your sd? Are you using data2ext or a2sd? If you use firerat you shouldn't need that. Also, to use SD in recovery you need to mount sd in the mounts/storage menu. I guess I'm a little unsure of where you're at now.
Thanks, il Duce.
> I would say it sounds like you're running too many tweaks. Why are you formatting your sd? Are you using data2ext or a2sd? If you use firerat you shouldn't need that.
Sure. All you said is right.
I used data2ext or a2sd in other ROMs once before using firerat.
Now I'm using firerat instead of it then I dont use data2ext or a2sd.
I was too lazy to remove ext4 partition.
The reason why formatting my sd card again is that as mounting sd card was not available due to these problems and I thought that its partition might be corrupted and I should fix it due to formatting it. But I had no luck..
> Also, to use SD in recovery you need to mount sd in the mounts/storage menu.I guess I'm a little unsure of where you're at now.
My explanation seemed like obvious. I wrote many unwanted things.
I couldnt mount sd in recovery menu. It said only "Error mounting /sdcard!" (also /sd-ext is same).
Before this problem happened, I was able to mount sd in it and in ROMs.
All I want to do is to use SD card in recover and in ROM again.
I did additional few things. But still I cant mount sd card.
* My hero in fastboot can be recognized from my laptop. "fastboot devices" can work well. But my hero in recovery cannot be recognized. "adb devices" cant get anything.
-> USB cable may be OK.
+ fasboot flash/boot does not work. (I found a posts that said that flash via fastboot doesnt work on Hero CDMA. Right?)
* My hero in hboot can access SD card. "HERCIMG.zip" on root in sd card can be accessed. But my hero in recovery cannot access sd card.
-> SD slot and SD card may be OK.
+ I cant find available HERCIMG.zip for HBOOT 1.47.
Can I flash recovery in terminal on ROM?
I would recommend the following:
1. Remove all partitions from your SD card, reformat it to FAT32
2. Run RUU on your phone, that should overwrite everything - you will need to re-root, but it will remove all the dingleberries from your phone.
Hope this helps.

Oh Dude, why didn't you say this earlier... I assumed that fastboot/HBOOT is not working on your phone.
1. You can absolutely flash recovery or any other images from fastboot, on a hero. Do "fastboot flash recovery <recovery.img>"
2. You can also flash recovery from HBOOT... look for the right HERCIMG.zip, place it on the root of the SD card, boot your device by holding down the volume down + power

I find several HERCIMG.zip via some file share services that Google teaches me. I tried one of them (I got it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-792170.html) and it seems like doing well (as below).
Ohters say "CID incorrect" "Update Fail!" after Checking.
It says:
SD Checking...
<snip>
Loading...[HERCIMG.zip]
(refresh screen)
Checking..[HERCIMG.zip]
(refresh screen)
<VOL UP> FastBoot Mode
<BACK> Simlock
<HOME> Recovery
press <HOME>, go to Recovery, then boot.
But nothing changes. Still I have same issue.
Should I look for another HERCIMG.zip?
I have questions like noobish.
In my thought, these issues (cant mount sdcard in recovery and ROM) may be solved by reflashing ROM image again. Is it right?
Does "flash_image" via terminal on ROMs work well?
(I've not done it from terminal.)
If using firerat, is it necessary to flash FR-recovery over just flashed recovery to avoid rebooting back into recovery?
(I worry that if sdcard were not still mounted in recovery after doing "flash_image recovery" I would have no solution to escape from the bootloop into recovery mode because I cant connect phone in recovery via ADB now.)
Does the following steps seem worth a try?
1. push a recovery image to inner memory (e.g. /data/local/) via ADB wireless
2. open terminal, "su" and "flash_image recovery <above image>"

Doesn't seem like you are S-off or you have Eng-SPL. The first one would have allowed you to use HBoot and the second to run fastboot.
If you were S-Off and had the Eng-SPL, the screen should have read something like this...
HERC XC ENG S-OFF...
Anyways, did you try to run RUU? You should try the one found on the HTC website for the CDMA Hero.
Thanks, all.
Fortunately I seems like fixing these problem.
But it's not known exactly why I fixed these problems.
In view of andythegreenguy's advice, I tried to run RUU on my phone.
But I cant connect my phone via ADB.
Then I reinstall HTC driver for Windows 7 once again. Of course, I already tried it before but still it didnt work well.
Booting into FASTBOOT because I could connect my phone via FASTBOOT, and connecting my phone with USB and trying to replace HTC driver.
But it still said that the driver was already installed.
But after rebooting into recovery mode, my laptop recognized it. And sdcard could be mounted in recovery mode for no special reasons.
After booting sdcard works well in ROMs.
(No qxdm_*.dm files I had seen first after these problems occurred doesnt be created any more)
It seems strange to me that connecting ADB act on the behavior of mounting sdcard. I still worry that the same issues will happen. Does this happen?
Anyway, thank all guys giving advices to me.
ps. I'll try S-OFF and ENG-SPL for avoiding the same issues.
Good to hear that your problems seem to be solved.
BTW, you don't need to have ADB running to run RUU, you just need HTC sync properly installed and have the RUU executable from HTC website.
OMG... I got excited for nothing. I didnt fix it basically. LOL
After that, I tried to flash recovery image.
flash recovery(aosp 4/21) and flash FR-recovery(1.5.3) w/ full wipe and reboot into recovery.
But the same issues occured again. (hero in recovery didnt mount sdcard again laptop didnt connect it via ADB)
It goes worse in point of losing booting ROMs. HBOOT, FASTBOOT work but didnt do S-OFF and ENG-SPL.
I acted stupid. I should have done S-OFF or ENG-SPL before flashing recovery.
I guess that the I have the same chance as the previous post (occasionally ADB works well in recovery). I will do serveral things that I did. (and try on another PC).

Oops. I guessed wrong.
I could connect Hero in FASTBOOT via USB then run "HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe". It seemed to work. But it gave 'Error [131] Incorrect Customer ID'.
I was looking for some articles about Error[131]. They said that driver's name should be "My MTC" not "HTC Bootloader".
But my laptop shows "HTC Bootloader" after re-install HTC Sync 2.0.40 again and updating driver from "Devices and Printers".
Does it cause error?
I am all confused about what your phone is doing... . Anyways, switch off your phone (battery out, if nothing else works) and follow these steps:
1. Backup your SD card
2. Remove all partitions from the SD card and format it to FAT32
3. Install HTC sync on your computer
4. Download the RUU to your computer
5. Switch on your phone
6. Run the RUU from your computer and see what you get (report back)

I did above steps.
1. already done backup
2. Use "Mini Tool Partition Wizard 5" for removing all partition and making FAT32. (and use "Panasonic SD formatter 3.0" for re-formatting sdcard)
3, use HTC Sync 2.0.40
4. RUU is HTC Sprint Hero MR 2.27.651.6.exe
5. connect usb cable to hero
6. run RUU and turn on hero in accordance with its guidance.
hero is booting up normally and it shows FASTBOOT USB on the top of screen.
then rebooting by RUU and it shows alternative HTC boot screen
it says "Error 131 Customer ID error" and quit.
# I tried it from Windows 7 and Windows Vista. But both are same.
My career is KDDI Mobile. Maybe it borrows sprint network
(ROMs showed that the career was sprint) Is it concerned with Error 131?

The HTC RUU is for Sprint only... hence the error. Do you have a RUU specific to your carrier?

No I dont have it. I have checked that company's page for RUU but I had no clue.
I believed without no doubt thatit would work because KDDI services operates on Sprint networks as a MVNO and usually "Settings" shows "Sprint" as connected carreer.
BTW, I left hero in recovery mode all night.
I found the files "qxdm_*.dm" created on sdcard. What are these files?
These files seem to be created not only in recovery but also FASTBOOT, HBOOT.
Those file size seem to depend on running time after booting. (if the sizes exceed 65535KB, it seem to create a new file.)
I guess that after booting my phone may keep writing these files on sdcard and this may prevent phone from mounting sdcard...
I fixed SDcard issues ( not mounting). And I could flash RUU into phone by Gold Card.
Unfortunately, USB bricked issue are not solved.
But, I wrote up these steps for helping someone having same issues because I found many similar articles.

My problem was, when i was in RomManager, i asked it to flash latest recovery, then 2 choices popped up, Xoom, and Xoom WiFi, well mine is a wifi version.. So i chose it... After going into recovery, i couldnt mount the SD card any more... Hmmm... Updates are good arent they? (that was to ver 5.x.x.x)
So i went back into Rom Manager and did it again, this time i chose just XOOM for the model, it went back to version 4.x.x.x.. Then i could mount the SD Card again...
Hope this helps..

[Q] How to copy the data from internal SD with Broken Screen

My galaxy Screen was broken by accident, but the phone boot and I can hear all the sounds. I can connect the phone to my Laptop and the computer recognize the phone and the sd card. But, I can't access the sd card, because I can confirm to mount to USB.
It's there's a way to access the internal SD card so I can retrieve all the information and TIBU directory with all the apps data.
Thanks
not sure but if u were on custom recovery then u can mount through that and try....
Thanks, for you're time, but how do I go there. If I can see anything on Screen. The phone was running Illuminance 3.01, with Corn Kernel. That means that I have CWM installed, but I can see anything.

Not sure how much it may help but did you try putting your sdcard in some other HTC phone? If the phone recognizes it then can you format it through the phone and try again?
Also I am assuming that you were able to flash a different ROM earlier using the same recovery, i.e, you are using the correct version of the recovery; also that your card was not encrypted
no luck

so now do this,
1.open the RUU on PC (dont need to connect phone).Dont close the RUU window.
2.now on PC in Search, type %temp%
open the location
3.now there using search in that folder, search rom.zip
copy this .zip to c:/android
4.rename it to PG32IMG
5.nw put this PG32IMG.zip on phone
6.get int bootloader
7.it should automatically detect and flash it
so now you have a rom that can boot
hope it works

Unbrick LG G4 H811 9008 Qualcomm

Hi guys,
i came up with a temporary to unbrick LG G4 H811 , you just need a 32 GB SD card ( i used Sandisk 10 class) , the dump that i will link , and Win32 disk Imager, the SD card must low level formatted.
1- download this dump
http://www.mediafire.com/download/nkaarfueu161run/H811-10N-fulldump.zip
2- put the SD card in the PC and chose the dump file and write ( run as admin ):
3- put the sd card in the phone plug the battery and power on.
now you will be able to enter Download mode, the problem is that when you flash a firmware, it goes to the SD card rather than the EMMC memory. the Dump is included with TWRP recovery and an unlocked Bootloader, so if someone happens to know how to access or mount the EMMC memory that would be awesome
Guys this solution is for H811 bricked by Firmware downgrade, not for deffective devices (serial 505) which Bricked on there own
EDIT : if you can enter TWRP recovey , check if your EMMC memory is alive by typing in terminal : cat /proc/partitions
if you see both mmcblk0 and mmcblk1 , congratulations !! your EMMC is alive , if not , you can use the SD card as your primary storage and flash either a custum ROM or KDZ

hard bricked my g4
I saw this post and jumped at the opportunity to try something different than what ive been trying. I will post back with results on whether or not this process was successful. I hope someone finds a permanent solution to this issue. All of my rom flashing experience comes from the HTC M7 (Sprint) which I found out extremely fast is a lot more forgiving. I flashed a rom to my G4 and as soon as I rebooted my phone wouldnt power on or show any signs of life although in device manager it shows the phone as a "port" then qualcomm 9008,,,,, Anyway, fingers crossed!:good:

Using a Sandisk Ultra 32GB SD Card with a Sandisk reader to put into the computer, WinDisk32 and the image provided phone shows signs of life! My battery is dead but it is charging. It is now boot looping to Secure Booting Error - Error Code: 1006. I will get a real charge on the battery now and then play around. Thanks for this!
Unfortunately it will not stay on the Download Mode long enough to do anything. But at least there is life.
This got me on the right path and I did fix it like this. I downloaded the H811 V20o dump from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/unbrick-lg-g4-h815-9008-qualcomm-t3452853) Link to file here Link .
After I did this I booted up to download mode but would not get a USB connection (go figure) so I booted to TWRP and flashed the Bootloader for H811 20i and the Boot from Here.
After I rebooted this allowed me to boot in Download mode with a USB connection. Once I saw that I removed my MicroSD flashed the 20o KDZ and I was back up and running!
Hopefully this helps anyone stuck!

After I got back into Download mode and the PC recognized I pulled the SDcard out and used LG UP to flash the 20o KDZ.

How did you get into recovery mode to flash the .bin you mentioned? I just keep getting the Secure Boot 1006 error and boot loops on Download mode.

If you can boot off the SD card, plugging in the USB while the phone is off and holding VOL UP will get you into Download mode. If you need to get to recovery hold VOL DOWN + PWR until the LG Screen shows then briefly let go of PWR and hold it again. This will give you the normal recovery options, select yes 2 times to boot into TWRP.

Awesome, so I saw the recovery but after I select yes two times it just black screened. I restarted the phone by pulling the battery and tried imaging twrp to the drive. Did it again and it just restarted to that 1006 error after selecting yes twice.
Now, I have flashed everything that did work and nothing comes up kind of baffled at what happened might be my SDCard is doing something wonky so will have to check another card when I have time to go buy one.

Just to clarify. When the imager was done writing to the disk. Did you have an actual image or a folder with files that said image?
Update:
And as I type this I just flashed the singleimage.bin again and I am able to get into the Factory Reset page.
-----Old Post-----
Shows up as like an 86MB partition with 11.9MB free space.
Inside there is an "image" folder with around 178 files in it. This happens when I image either the singleimage.bin, the H811-10N-fulldump.img, or Dump_H811_1GB.img.
The H811-10N image used to work, as did the systemimage.bin. But now nothing I am flashing to the MicroSD is pulling up the phone.

Thanks for the quick response:good: How did you flash the single img bin? Was your phone on when you did that?
Ok so I did the following using the singleimage.bin file:
- Win32DiskImager > 32GB MicroSDCard.
- Eject the SDCard from Windows.
- Battery is out of the phone.
- Put the SDCard into phone.
- Put Battery into Phone.
- Plug Phone into Computer (not sure if this is necessary)
- Boot loop with Secure Boot 1006 error.
- Hold the Vol Down + Pwr until LG. Let off Pwr while still holding VolDown then press and hold Pwr till Factory Reset is up.
- Press Yes twice
- After this I see the Secure Error 1006 message faintly come up.
- Reboots to BootLoop, no TWRP.
It feels like I am missing something here. If anyone can correct me I would appreciate it.

Please use the 10N dump that i provided , clean your SD card using SD Formatter
https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_4/
and flash it with the 10N dump ( it has unlocked Bootloader )
