[Q] Recovery not working and additional problems

Hi guys,
I have a few problems with my Motorola Milestone.
1. I can't get in to recovery. I only get an black screen (backlight is on)
2. I don't get any video in the bootloader. but RSD lite does recognizes it, and is able to flash it. When it's flashing I do get video only stating that there is software update busy.
3. When I boot up my phone I don’t get, a Motorola logo, but just a black screen (back light on) followed by the Android logo after a few minutes.
4. If I try to wake up the phone, the screen remains black, but the hardware keys to light up, I have to press the lock button multiple times to activate the screen. - Note when the screen remains black, it is responsive and I can unlock the phone, but it still remains black. And sometimes the colors are inverted, but when i make a screen of it with Screen Grabber (shoot me) it's in normal colors.
That kind of sums it up.
I have tried a few things to fix it. I have:
1. Cleared caches, and personal data
2. Flashed a different SBF en recovery
And since I can’t get in to recovery, I had to get Root via Z4 Root method and it works fine.
Afterwards I downloaden Rom-manger, and installed the ClockWork recovery, and tried to boot in Recovery via clockwork, but that didn’t work either. I also can’t get in to Recovery via a cold boot
I think the problems started when I was using CyanogenMod 7 RC4. It worked just fine, but after I installed it I couldn't get in to recovery.
Can I try something else to fix it? or should I flash it back to original state and RMA it?
Edit some additional information:
Frimware: 2.2.1
Frimware configuration: GAS_EMEA_UCAMS1FRYOQWRTEU_P005
Baseband version: 3GSMPU91A_U_91.09.00I
Baseband configuratuin version:UCALHLSMR2EMEAB1B806E.0R
Kernel Versuin: 2.6.32.9-ge635aa4 [email protected]#1
Build Number: SHOLS_U2_05.06.0
And is it possible to restore the orginal boot animation, without recovery?
TL.DR: Motorola Milestone --> CyanogenMod 7 RC4 --> no recovery & no video @ bootloader, plus additinal video problems --> back to orginal --> same problems.

BUMP: is there anyone with a possible soulution?

ClockWork recovery doesn't work on milestone.
So CM7 does boot up?

CM7 doesn't anymore as I removed it, and flashed a different SBF and recovery.
CyanogenMod 7 RC4 worked fine but I had a few video problems, and I could get in to recovery.
I will flash a different recovery tonight and try it out.

Flashed a different .sbf and placed the androidiani open recovery files on the Sd card root, but i still can't get in to recovery. I won't even get the /!\ screen. The phone does turn on, but will only get a black screen.

Which sbf?

I don't think you bricked it... but damaged it in some way.
Could also be some hardware related stuff in the end.
Anyway try to wipe everything, that could be wiped.
Start into bootloader and try to install G.O.T. 2.2.1 using RSD again.
This one got the vulnerable recovery already integrated.
Then try to use the specific G.O.T. OpenRecovery on your sdcard to check system integrity.
Please try to take care of every single step and check out what happens....
If your hardware is doing fine, i'm pretty sure that you will get a working phone again.
P.S.: How about your bootloader version?
Good luck,

I think my boatloader is 90.47 I'm not sure as I won't get any video in the boatloader.
I flashed the G.O.T 2.2.1but I can't get in to recovery, there is still no video only a blackscreen.
Is it posible the may have deleted the files for the logo?

You can try upgrading your bootloader to 90.78 from here.
Then try flashing GOT 2.2.1, then see if AOR boots up.

I flashed 90.78, and then reflashed GOT 2.2.1, but is still can't get into te recovery. I getting the same result, no motorola logo and a black screen with no /!\ logo

If your phone is recognised in adb, then you can use the link below to get into AOR directly. Just make sure you have AOR extracted to your sdcard.

I was just looking at QtADB for somebody else's problem but it looks like you can use QtADB to boot recovery if the phone is recognized.

Hi guys,
sorry for the late reply, but I'm also moving at the moment.
I have tired numerous things.
If I flash the 2.2.1 Firmware SHOLS_U2_05.26, I can get to the recovery selection screen, with the /!\ screen.
But if apply update.zip I will get an error message, stating "EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD E:signature verification failed", something like that, I don't know the specific message out of my head
And if I flash a vurnable recovery only sbf, with the SHOLS_U2_05.26 I can't get the recovery screen, only a black screen.

This is standard error, if vulnerable recovery is not installed and you try to start OpenRecovery.

My last guess is, that something might be wrong with your vulnerable recovery sbf file (file corruption ???). There should have been some errors during flash...
Anyway, you might grab it here and try again:

[Q] how to remove clockword mod recovery

Hi all
This problem that I have is pissing me off so much. I rooted my phone and then unrooted it, and then my Android Market icon was missing. Now, whenever I want to do a factory reset, the phone goes back to ClockworkMod Recovery every single time. I want to get rid of this CMR. Also, I've tried to stock original rom on my phone but it does not work at all. What is happening? My phone is LG Optimus 2x P990. But I always get this error where I can't apply the DLL file. This really annoying me right now. I've tried everything and NOTHING works. I regret rooting my device.
Please help me thanksss

Here's howto remove the ClockWork Recovery Mode:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
You can flash the original image using SmartFlash.
Get your original Firmware image from here. The instructions for SmartFlash are here

how to flash the zip
sorry I am completely new to this. How do I apply the zip? Do I boot into recovery mode and install zip from there? I have done this with other zip files before and it always ended with:
'installation aborted'
im trying it now, but its stuck at:
'Restoring stock recovery image'

smart flash
smart flash doesn't work for me. I always get this time out error.. I really don't know what to do now. The recovery stock file did install but then I chose 'reboot system now' in CWM and it got stuck with the LG logo. Now, it's back to ClockWork Recovery Mod again!! i don't understand. Please help.. Many thnks

what type of error?
your device-manager on your pc recognizes your 2x, when you connect it as described in the instructions?

THis is the error:
00:00.0 Sec ownload Start...
00:07.5 Sec :We can't communicate with specific port
and now, I can't start my phone. It gets stuck on LG logo. I tried the remove CWM method, it worked but when I rebooted my phone, my phone would not start at all. P. Please help.

yep it recognises it but it always gets this time out error... what should I do? Please help.. Many thanxx

Does the COM port get detected automatically when you plugin the phone ?

Same with me. Go on trying at some point it will work. It happens with me everytime i flash with smartflash. Myself also waiting for a definite solution to this problem. i think the problem lies with usb drivers. I also tried with taking out card and sim but cannot pinpoint the problem. Any successful flasher may upload the drivers. Moreover i also disabled programmes like antivirus etc running in background. Waiting for a more definite problemfree flashing solution.

I think, install drivers to smartflash, no other drivers, and later smartflash.

Phone bricked. i need urgent help!

Hi, i recently installed nova 8. Before installation i did a clean wipe and install according to instruction.
However i did a backup of my stock rom with clockworkmod.
I wanted my stock rom back so i did a recovery using clockworkmod back to my stock rom backup, and it bricked my phone.
Now all it is saying is "ERROR LG security team"
Can anybody please help me out on this?

Flash firmware, done.

I have no idea why but my flashes keep failing. it keep sayin there is problem with communication between cell phone and pc

Im desperate for help. Knzo if you can help me i'll donate some effort money for your next cup of coffee.

Does the flash start and the connection breaks while it's half way through?
Or doesn't it even start flashing?
Either way, sounds either like a: a) driver problem, or b) you're not flashing it on software upgrade screen.

It always always breaks when its at the third stage, the "update" stage. When it is 3%

Well, that happened to me once. The connection would break every time on 16%.
I fixed it by changing the computer where I made the flash.
It's usually a driver mixup so you should try to uninstall every driver and then install them again. Or formatting your computer. Or changing to another one.

Okay, i'll try reinstalling everything

Theres still problem communicating between cell phone and pc.

install the drivers again

You could always try with another pc, if that works you know what the problem is

I tried on 2 different PC. still cant work. i always get stuck at 3%

Ohh... I really don't know then... ;\

How was it now? Is it fixed?
I've also encountered this problem. And for me, I flashed it successfully.
Kindly double check the steps you are doing. I just have some tips:
-Please check your LG drivers carefully (USB, Modem, etc.)
-Verify if msmxl, b2c update, windows enabler are there.
-Rename your KDZ file (e.g. leave only the V10e.kdz or whatever your firmware version is). -This worked for me when it is stucked.
By the way, thanks for Ilko's guide.
Please take note of the last point. I was able to flash it after renaming the kdz file.
Hopefully it helps.

do you get this ?

[Q] Bricked Phone With Safestrap Recovery

I'm a newbie on XDA so pardon anything that I might do "wrong"
So I was using safestrap recovery to play around with some custom roms, and I was going to switch to a new rom so I thought I was going to delete everything from Rom-Slot 1, but actually ended up going to the section where you can check off everything you want to delete from the the rom. I ended up checking all except micro SD card, and ended up deleting all the data from the stock rom by accident. I tried restarting the phone but all I see now is a stuck "Galaxy Note 3" on boot-up.
I've tried using Odin (with the BL AP CP CSC and PIT files ) to flash back and Oneclickbin.exe, but none work. They all give me a fail message shortly (or a couple minutes) after I press start
Additional notes:
Rooted with kingo root
I got the OTA update on the stock rom (The one with the black stock keyboard)
Please Help!!!
How do I fix this?!?!
UPDATE: Problem not fixed, but when I try to turn on the device, it now says:
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again"
I plugged my phone in the computer and kies can't connect to the device....

The imaged you linked is considered a download mode, you should be able to flash from it.
That being said, the error you got often means your internal memory is dead. Which also means that you can't get what was on it (Think of it as a hard drive that just died). Your best bet after trying to flash stock would be to partition an SD card and run from it (there's a guide on how to do it on here).

You gotta do some basic research. Here's the stock ROM (without bootloaders): http://www.mediafire.com/download/w..., NO Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe.zip
Just loat it up on Odin and flash away. You can't get in recovery cause your phone can't load anything atm, it needs a clean flash. Just make sure nothing interrupts Odin while it's flashing.

You can give Heimdall a shot (note that it will install its own drivers on the usb port you'll use it on so Odin won't work on it): http://www.mediafire.com/download/5..., NO Bootloaders, Wipe-Heimdall One-Click.zip
If that doesn't work, I can say at like 95% that your internal memory is dead and you'll have to partition an SD card if you wanna get it running. There are guides on how to do it on here.

I've seen that image often. Uninstalling then re-installing the usb drivers for Samsung helped me. Flashing a captivate can be a little convoluted granted all the different methods of acquiring root and flashing a rom that's been used through the years ... and subsequently posted somewhere on the internet. I'd suggest the following .... once your device is recognized in Odin.
1. Flash I897UCKK4 with Odin (no root) for gingerbread stock rom
2. Download and install KK4root. Run Kk4 root "run" exe in the kk4_root folder. Corn kernel is installed with modded recovery system
3. From Corn kernel recovery click "root extras" to get su and busy box installed
