[Q] Milestone wont boot up any Rom except SBF's - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

I have a Milestone. I flashed a CyanogenMod rom to it the other day. The Rom worked but after a day I decided to go back to Telus Lite V4. Unfortunately now every time I flash a new Rom, no matter what it is, it jus shows the booting animation forever. The only time I can flash it and have it work is to flash an SBF. Even then it will be glitchy. I don't know whats going on. I am wiping everything between flashes, dalvik, cache, system. Everything. I tried the Telus Lite again and it does the same thing, boot animation. Anyone know what may be the issue? And or how to fix it. I want to go back to Telus Lite V4 again. Thank you in advance.

the stock roms from here for Milestone
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone
try it.

I am flashing the stock SBF for Telus now. Should I then go and reflash from a stock/ Hope this helps the issue. Thank you for the assist. Will let you know how it goes

K, I flashed a stock SBF and then flashed the vulnerable recovery file. I let the sbf boot up and finalize everything. I then went and wiped everything and reflashed the Telus Lite V4 nandroid. It works but I get f/c on the android market constantly. I tried to adb push the android market back into the phone and rebooted, and it still f/c's on me. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

I Never tried it.
Can you refer back to its thread in the development section, mostly you'll find similar cases.

Got everything resolved. Had to flash a stock rom, then do the vulnerable recovery flash. From there everything worked fine. Thank you to all for you assistance.

PS. I have reflashed a stock firmware, then gone back through the steps to do the custom recovery. I have then tried to reflash the Telus Lite V4 and all I get is f/c on the anddroid market. Adb pushing a newer market apk does nothing, still constant f/c. Any help would be greatly appreciated
which open recovery that you use...? androidiani 3.3 very recommended....
I have been swapping between the androiani and G.O.T

[Q] Help: Motorola Milestone Stuck at Motorola Logo on boot

i rooted my milestone a few months ago (g.o.t.) and recently i tried to install the shadowsmod gingerbread rom onto it. when i restart the phone it stuck at the Motorola boot logo (M). i can enter recovery mode and do a factory reset but the problem still remains. maybe i just have to flash the stock sbf to fix the issue but the problem is that my battery is almost deplete and that the phone wont charge itself so if i enter the bootloader it'll say: battery Low cannot Program. please help me, i searched hours long for solutions but nothing worked.
Thanks in advance

Have you done a nandroid backup? If so, you must be able to nandroid restore the Milestone, if you still have some batery left. It is usually pretty quick the restore. And if done correctly, your "stone" will be back. Next time flash the phone only when you have a fully charged battery. That would be what I would do.
Hope it helps.
YESS thank you ! i am so stupid : i DID do a nandroid backup but for some reason i forgot it! it works it really works! thanks alot your a lifesaver
Glad I could help . But you went lucky. As soon as I send the reply I though to myself, if the flash is done through .sbfs it must erase the open recovery partition. So, no nandroid restore option. But I guess you where trying to flash the roms from within the open recovery itself. So that way i believe the open recovery partition still remais untoutched. Not shure though.
Anyway, it still worked. And that´s the most important thing.
See you around.
normally if you have this problem after install a new rom, you just need to clear the cache / dalvik cache and it'll fix it
i have the same problem but i installed a rom with Droid 2 recovery bootstrap. before flashing i maked a nandroid backup but i cant get acces to restore. anyone can help me?

Your phone shouldn't be stuck at bootloader when you're flashing a ROM. Go into recovery and wipe both caches and apply the update then reboot.

I just used RSD Lite v4.9 to flash GOT 2.2.1 on my phone. It works fine and rooted with GOT's OR. Then I wanted to try and apply the cm7 update and I have gone though all the steps listed in all the various guides but when I reboot the phone it will first go strait into recovery mode, stock, and another restart will get me stuck on the M. Does this mean my sbf is bad? I have tried different cm7 .zip files for the milestone with no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
Have you made factory reset?

Bootlooping D3

After running Maverick ROM for a while, I wanted to go back to a .890 based ROM so I attempted to SBF to .890, when it said in RSD Lite to manually boot the phone which then led to bootlooping. Any suggestions as to how to fix this issue? It's rather urgent. Thank you so much!
EDIT: Fixed with fast un-brick. Please delete mod. TY.
Just an FYI, when you SBF you have to boot into stock recovery and wipe data/cache or you will bootloop.

[Q] Bionic SafeStrap 3.11 wont load recovery

Hello Folks,
I have a Droid Bionic Running 98.72.22XT875.Verizon.en.US (The stock JB update rooted)
I FXZ'd this onto the phone, so there are no files from the ICS install.
With SafeStrap 3.11 installed, including recovery I see the option to choose Menu to boot into the recovery, but when I press it the device just boots like normal.
I'm not sure if it is misreading my press, or if the recovery is not bootable.
IS there a new version, or is there a way I can boot into SS without using the button?
Can anyone help me out?
Thank You,
-Dacooter
Why haven't you removed & reinstalled Safestrap yet? Safestrap 3.11 works fine with JB on my phone, and I put JB on my phone with an FXZ.
I have tried re-installing SafeStrap.
I've even tried Differend APK downloads.. no luck.
Hey Folks,
I got this all figured out.
I flashed Via RSD one more time, then rooted without modifying the stock ROM at all. now it is working.
Thanks,
-Dakotah
Same problem as starter
So I'm having the same problem as the person who started this thread. I've tried SafeStrap 3.11 about 5 times and no luck. I've reflashed it using the RSD Lite tool about 5 times flashing it with http : // sbf. droid-developers. org/cdma_targa/list.php and still had no luck (of course i'm using the JB edition named "9.8.2O-72_VZW-22 Blur_Version.98.72.22.XT875.Verizon.en.US" )
Every time I press the Menu button when SafeStrap pops up it boots like normal. I can't seem to get this fixed. I tried CWR twice, made a backup, and both times the OS said "Encryption" was bad and I needed to factory reset. Only fix was using RSD Lite.
Any ideas? Should I try to manually flash recover.img?
