[Q] Cant Flash Bootloader - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

Hello,
I got a A853 Milestone.
I would like to have miuiandroid on it.
I already rooted my phone (I got Superuser.)
In next step i tried to flash my boot loader (90.78).
I made it with rsd lite 4.6 -> Success.
So i tried to install an unsigned update.zip (miuiandroid ->For Milestone)
It wont work my loader tells mit it is an unsigned rom so he wont be able to install it.
i flashed my bootloader again with an .sbf from an different source. same result. rsd told me that he flashed it but i cant instal miui.
i tried it with an third loader. same result.
now i cant even press start in rsd lite. and i don't know why. he is recognizing my phone but i am not getting any file properties.
what am i doing wrong?
i am looking forward to your answers.

The greyed out start button in RSD is because the filename is too long. Try renaming the sbf to a.sbf or something.
Have you flashed the Vulnerable Recovery for Milestone? After that you need to install OpenRecovery then you can try applying MIUI.

Alright, flash the VR from android.doshaska.net/rootable
Make sure to backup everythng you want to save (apps, etc)
Then get OR, place MIUI in OpenRecovery/updates, enter OR, do a Nandroid, full wipe of data and both caches, apply MIUI, wipe caches, apply baseband and reboot.

You can't flash the bootloader because it's locked.
How are you trying to flash the ROM?

hmm i am not really getting it.
i thought with rsd i am replacing the bootloader with a vulnerable bootloader.
i am trying to flash the the rom with OpenRecovery wich i copied to my root folder of the sd card. also i copied the update.zip to the root folder of my sd card.
by holdin on and the camera button and the sound buttons i am trying to install it.
is maybe this my failure?

Once the VR is installed, you just go into OR by turning the phone off, holding Power+x and then camera+ vol up when you see the Motorola Logo.

-Put Phone into bootloader mode(turn off, power button+d-pad up)
-Launch RSD Lite
-Rename SBF file to some one letter name.
-Browse to SBF
-Plug phone into computer
-Click start.
-If you get errors, look at this thread: http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...hing-process-0x7100-rsd-lite.html#post1274587
-Phone should reboot automatically, if not reboot into bootloader mode.
-Now take the OpenRecovery and update.zip from AOR 3.3 and put them on root of SD Card
-Place zip file of that ROM in OpenRecovery/updates on SD Card
-Boot into recovery mode (Power button+x/power+camera, camera+volUp)
-Use D-Pad to select apply update.zip
That gets you straight into AOR or OpenRecovery, with VR installed.

You made my day!
Thank u very much!

[Q] Root on Stock Gingerbread

Tried SuperOneClick using both methods and it didn't work. Any suggestions?
I also would like to know this before I update.
Sent from my Nexus One
I couldn't get it to work either... had to revert back to 2.2 and root using Super One Click from there to restore back to my CM7 backup.
I would suggest waiting for superoneclick to be updated to support gingerbread.
Yep, that's what I was going to do but was hoping someone had a way beforehand so I could my backups going again
Install the Gingerbread update using a custom recovery, then install this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682828 BEFORE rebooting.
Or if you want to root manually, follow the instructions for rageagainsthecage in my signature.

Tried to root manually with your instructions w/ rageagainstthecage but its not cooperating... Once I run rageagainstthecage, it will exit out of shell, then USB bugging dissapears on the N1 notification bar, and can't get it back without rebooting the N1, also it won't show up in windows device manager until N1 is rebooted...
Did you use this method to root your phone with 2.3.3 or did you flash the update then flash the other update to get root?
Thanks,
How did you revert back to 2.2? What Passimg.zip did you use? Or are you unlocked?

No need to unlock the bootloader. Just download the file, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, put it on the root of your SD card and boot into the bootloader. It will scan the file for a minute or so and then ask if you want to flash it. Just hit the up volume button to flash.
I've got what appears to be temp root with rage ($ changes to #), but I can't get the system to mount as rw, which is wierd...

It comes up with the message "Main Version is Older!" "Update Fail!"
My phone is not rooted and on official 2.3.3 flashed through stock recovery via update.zip
EDIT: Used first method, reflashed with passimg.zip (frg33) then updated one by one back to fgr83g, rooted (superoneclick) installed amon_ra, recovery via rom manager, put 2.3.3 gingerbread update on SD as update.zip, also put the su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip on SD.
Flashed 2.3.3 update via amon_ra recovery (had to turn off signature verification), once it reset (not rebooted) back to recovery picked to flash zip, picked su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip, (had to turn off signature verification again), rebooted, and now have root!! Now i can finally restore my apps
Worked great!! Thanks efrant!!!

Well I guess that is pretty stupid question ..
Maybe I flash recovery using this recovery first, then boot into recovery , then flash the .zip file.
NO!!! Your dell streak7 has an unlocked bootloader there for you can go to the clockwork thread by graffixnyc and flash his cwr through fastboot then boot into cwr and flash this. This has too be flashed through cwr.

you dont fastboot flash this file. you need too fastboot flash cwr then flash this with clockworkmod.
And jiwengang you need too select option 2 in the stock bootloader.That will bring you into cwr.

Question, I have still yet to update Ive always been the cautious type vs instant flashing.
Think I am ready now. So, since I did not OTA yet. But I AM rooted. I have Rom manager installed.
So am I correct when I assume, what I do it, Flash CWR, download this zip, then flash via the app to be updated to 2.2.2, have the tweaks and be set to go?
Also What T-mobile/Dell apps did it remove? Thanks.
You cant flash via rom manager. Its useless other then flashing cwr. But yes boot into bootloader by holding power and plus volume hold it until you see the menu. Select option 2 should put you into cwr. Once in cwr flash the .zip i provided. Reboot and you should be on 2.2.2 rooted. Good luck.

Thanks Hellzya, Will try it now. What Apps were removed tho?
Also are you all using a SD card for storage or nah?
Btw wiping out Data/Cach or whatever, that doesnt touch the internal storage memory does it? Never had a device with internal memory like this. Used to my G1 and using the SD card for everything.
i believe you dont need too wipe by i always do just to be careful. It doesnt take that long too reinstall everything and set it up. i do it for piece of mind. and yes i have a 16gb external sd but i put everything im gonna flash on the internal sd.
Thatruth ask davied or get on irc and if dj steve is there im sure he could help you.

[Q] stuck at X

Ok, I'm a noob and I tried to root my phone. However, I messed it up and I'm not sure how.
I successfully unlocked the bootloader.
I then flashed the recovery with Amon_RA's image. All is still good.
I attempted to root installing from zip using this step "Use trackball -> "Flash zip from from sdcard" -> nexus-addon-0.1-signed.zip"
I then rebooted and now I'm stuck at X. It won't boot past that.
I can access the bootloader and all that other crap. I'm a noob so type slow and in small words to I can fix this. Until I see a reply, i'll play around with it to see if I can return the image to stock.

I don't really want or need a new ROM. Stock is fine for me. Just want root access. Any clue how I get out of this mess?
Ok, I might have just found my problem. The instructions say to use that addon if I don't have superboot installed. I do have superboot installed. How do I reverse it?
Maybe passimage method back to stock than try again
I can only access bootloader and recovery at this point. How do I push a file to the sdcard so I can install from ZIP?

If you want to go back to stock search for passimg.zip or you can use any ROM you like.
my adb isn't recognizing my device. Fastboot is but not adb. This is why I can't push anything to the phone at the moment. This is getting frustrating.
take the sd card out and put the passimg.zip file on it
I did that and nothing happened. Is there something special I need to do in order for it to take?
It was working just fine until I installed the google addon zip described above from the sdcard. Is there any way to uninstall the addon from recovery?
The PASSIMG.zip method doesn't work for me. It briefly says it can't find image or something like that. It flashes on the screen very fast so I can't get the details. Any other suggestions for me to try? Like I said, I can boot to recovery just fine. I can even install from zip through recovery. I should have backed up that image before I started messing around with it. I'm learning as I go though.
Phew!!! Back in business with the passimg method. My mistake was adding another .zip when I renamed the file. so to the phone it looked like PASSIMG.zip.zip and wasn't recognizing it. Once I got that fixed it updated just fine. I'm booted now. I'll update then try and root once again.
Good to hear.

[Q] Strange Open Recovery Issue

Hey everybody,
I just got back my motorola milestone from my provider because it has the ghost hand issue.
Now my problem is the I flashed the GOT back and I tried the original Shols as well with vulnerable recovery and I have the following issue.
I press power and X together, the triangle comes up and when I choose install update.zip the installing is coming and it says install successful but I got the recovery menu back and not the open recovery.
Any ideas? I will re-flash the phone again as soon as I got home but still it's a strange and weird issue. I tried to use ClockWork mod as well, same thing happened.
Thanks in forward!

Not working....I get the verification failed error message, like I didn't flashed the vulnerable sbf.
SO I reflashed with the RTEU Shols and then the vulnerable flash the one that's working with the 90.78 bootloader
I tried to flash GOT, same error message, it feels like the RSD Tool is just simply wiping the phone but do not flash the OS on my phone.
I thought maybe that's the problem so I tried a different RTEU and that didn't even boot up my phone, so it's doing something...I try to reflash GOT again..if it is not gonna help me then I don't know what to do...I never had this issue before...Never...I'm not a noob, I used a lot of a different ROMs and finally I see we got 2nd boot working my phone doesn't reach the open recovery...loooolllll
HELP ME haha
Update: Tried it, didn't work...
It maybe the problem of that I have Windows 7 64bit on my laptop and it has some issues with RSD Lite before i re-installed the Windows...Force Flash and some other stuff...How can I check that I have GOT on my phone or the original shols? Should be somewhere at "About Phone" section.
Don't flash the OR with RSDLite!
Flashing installs it to the phone's internal memory.
Just copy&paste the 'OpenRecovery' folder and the 'update.zip' to the root of your sd-card.

I flashed the OS not the OR, as I stated I'm not a noob with it, I already been thru with almost all the ROMS that's being available on our MileStone but I never faced an issue like that! I don't know where I go wrong I have one idea left maybe that will help me! Thank You tho!

Not at all. Vulnerable recovery is the solution. And then remove recovery check from system before it boots to android.

No. After you flash vuln. recovery you need to boot directly to recovery and remove that file.

I could reach my open recovery once I did what I had to but I couldn't delete the .sh file but i was able to install the newest cm 7.2.4...but it stopped working on the motorola logo, i came home now I could do the rteu shols and now I can't reach recovery once again lol...I should have to delete, then "re-install" OR on my SD card but as soon as I turn SD card on the portal and tools coming back again for some unkown reason...goooshhh lol

Stuck on bootloader unlocked screen.

Hello,
I yesterday got new at&t Atrix hd with android 4.0.4. I updated to newest 4.1.2 (I think). I rooted it with Motochopper. I tried to install CWM with Myth Tool. Didn't work.
Finally I installed CWM with this method.
Install CWM Recovery by Epinter
Read Epinter's RAZR HD CWM Thread
Download the recovery image
On stock rom, navigate to /system/etc and rename install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak
Reboot into fastboot -- use "adb reboot bootloader" from Terminal\Command Prompt
Wipe the existing recovery -- "fastboot erase recovery" !
Flash the recovery with "fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery6028-xt925_20130219-epinter.img"
That's it, CWM is installed.

Then I installed [ROM] CM 10.2 (Android 4.3) for AtrixHD from zip in CWM. Everything was working great till turned Atrix off.
Then it stuck on "bootloader unlocked" screen. Most of the time I was not able to enter CWM but one time somehow I managed to enter CWM, if I use restart option in CWM after restart android loaded successfully. Tried restart again but I was not able to enter recovery and got stuck again. After messing around with volume/power key somehow android loaded again successfully (without enter recovery).
Now it's working but I'm scared to restart or do anything.
What do you think? What should I do? Is it ROM problem, system or what?
Currently there are no install-recovery.sh (or install-recovery.sh.bak) file. Maybe this could be problem?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks!

Are you sure the install-recovery.sh file is not installed? Just to make sure, I would install Root Explore to use that to check to make sure.
I don't have root access but I think I should be able to see that file, right?
Do you have root access? You need to install a file manager like Root Explorer so you can easily change the file permissions and rename the file by adding .bak to the end of the file name.
Weird, I don't see it either. I see it in mine though.
No, I don't have root access. I hope it's ROMs issue. CM10.2 doesn't come with root access. There are weird things going on with my phone. I really hope that other ROM will fix that. Thanks for reply.

Maybe you could install Root Explorer. Maybe that will allow you to see the file.
I also have problems getting straight into recovery sometimes but if I hold vol up+vol down+power I can select recovery from there. as far root on cm 10.2 flash superuser.zip
Can you tell me what key combinations you use for what purpose? I doubt you make a mistake there...

Just bumping this one
I am pretty desperete now
RSD'ed to Mexican retail
Rebooted fine but I get N/A in every device property value in RSD
When I flash CM 10.2 (wiping cache/dalvik/factory reset/format system and wiping caches/factory reset after) It boots fine the first time and gets stuck in Moto log/Unlocked bootloader when I reboot
I know I missing something but WTF am I missing?
