Did I just brick my Milestone!?

Current status:
My MS is now stuck in the bootloader screen and couldn't boot into the launcher...When I turn my MS on, it just show the bootloader screen below:
Bootloader
90.78
Code Corrupt
Battery OK
OK to Program
Trasnfer Mode:
USB
Before that, I've seen the Bootloader got some error (?) code too...
err:a5,69,4e,00,3d
I had rooted my MS through the app "Universal androot" (one-button-root app) for a few months. I was getting sick of android 2.1 (plus disappointed with stock 2.2) and so I wanted to try flashing ROM...
I was following the instructions in the forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983516
But apparently I might did something wrong (?)....
Anyway, does that mean I brick my milestone?? Is there anyway that I can revert this...?

maybe you have flashed a wrong verson sbf.
Try flash the official 2.0.1 sbf file using RSD.
Bootloader need to reinstall, only official sbf contain bootloader program.
if it works, flash openrecovery, update the software using openrecovery, not RSD.
goodluck.

btw, do you change your baseband after u flash the sbf? if yes, try to do nothing after flashing the roms.

So I should flash 2.0.1 sbf instead of 2.1?

No, I can do nothing. The flashing progress had never been successful.
It always say fail in RSD lite.

could you sumbit what is shown in RSD lite when it said fail to flash the phone?

RSD status:
Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]: Error erasing subscriber unit. Device API Error: 0xE0030040 Command: ERASE (0xE0132040); phone connected
RSD result:
FAIL
And Milestone:
SW Update
In progress...
It keeps on like that for 20+ mins until I unplugged the battery.

Ok so I tried flashing 90.78_2.01recovery_only.sbf (a 4.06mb file)
The first time it ever said success & pass on RSD Lite for me...
But still...I'm stuck in the bootloader screen...
Only now the bootloader shows the following...
Bootloader
90.78
err:a5,69,4e,00,3d
Battery OK
OK to Program
Trasnfer Mode:
USB

it seems you should reinstall the Moto flash driver, or maybe somthing wrong with the usb cable, make sure the computer recognize the phone completely.
if you are using win7 or win visita, make sure you run the RSD lite as administrator.
these tip may help you http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...-failed-flashing-process-0x7100-rsd-lite.html

Moto JB 4.1.2 rom - I have an EU device, is it possible to get this to work?

I'd hate to be a pain as I know newcomers don't seem to be welcome here. But it wouldn't let me post in the thread for the rom that I have a question for. It wouldn't even let me post in the relevant sub-forum. So sorry.
Anyway I have an XT890. It has an unlocked bootloader. I have a custom recovery installed. It is an EU device.
I tried to install the "Moto JB 4.1.2" rom. As we know, it doesn't work with EU devices.
My question- is it the EU OTA rom that it's incompatible with or the device itself? If I sbf a non-EU OTA rom to my phone, will that rom work?
I remembered to format /data and /system just like the installation instructions said to do, just to make sure it does indeed not work. I even formatted /cache and all the other ones. It went into a bootloop just like the description said would happen so I restored the backup that I made.
It's a shame since that looks like an awesome rom.

Can you please upload a screenshot of your system information? Just to know how can i help you

Is this what you need?
I see it says EN instead of EU. Maybe it turns out I don't know what I'm doing.

If it is showing the animation of the motorola logo but bootlooping there is a build that apparently allows you to first boot on those cases where the user comes from a weird ROM (it is still unexplained why it works, but you can try it).
OLD FILES FIle: "RazRi_JB_EU_Optimized-2013-Mar-25.bootloop_mysterious_fix.zip"
See if that boots, if that boots fine, once your done first setting it up you could go, format system only, and update to the latest, you could give it a try.
But the cleanest and safest would be to SBF the EU file, and then get the custom recovery installed and finally flash the ROM...

It was showing the Motorola boot animation when I was getting the bootloop on that rom. I tried the "mysterious_bootloop_fix" file in the link. It still made it bootloop. Note that I remembered to format /system and /data. I also formatted /cache.
Next, I will try sbf-ing to official 4.1.2, reinstalling the custom recovery and flashing the latest version of the rom.
Where can I download the 4.1.2 EU sbf file? I haven't been able to find it.

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/smi/CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml.zip
Gesendet von meinem XT890

EDIT: I figured out how to get the sbf to flash. I was using rsd lite version 5.6 which is an old version. I downloaded 6.1.4 and was able to sbf to 4.1.2. I am currently trying to install the custom rom.
Edit: Alright. I tried flashing the latest version. It caused a bootloop. I then tried flashing the "mysterious bootloop fix" one. It made a bootloop too. I used the sbf that HSD-Pilot gave me the link to.
I attached a screenshot of my system info.
Any ideas? I'm REALLY close to getting it...
............\/ Disregard all that \/
OK so now I have a noob question. In the the sbf tutorial thread, it says:
- download fastboot file you need from here or here
- extract it in a folder, you have a XML file here
- run RSD lite
- browse XML file to the empty box
- connect the phone to the pc via usb cable in AP Fastboot mode
- click start button on RSD & be patient to flash the files

Is it saying to extract the content of the file "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml.zip" that I downloaded? When I do this, I get a folder called "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml". This is not an actual xml file like it said. If I try to select the folder in RSD Lite, it opens the folder. There are several files in that folder as well as a file called "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml". This file is a selectable xml file and not a folder but it's like 2kb.
Do I open the ~550MB zip file that I downloaded or the 2kb xml file with RSD Lite? Or does this just not work correctly with WinZip?
Edit: While I'm asking noob questions, should I format /system and /data before sbf-ing or does it not matter?
Another edit: I tried flashing the xml file in the extracted folder. It didn't work and under that status on RDS Lite it said "Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Unknown fastboot command. (oem); Phone connected"
Selecting the zipped file will result in the same thing after it gets extracted. I also didn't have to restore a backup after the failed flashing. It just boots back up like nothing happened.
Here's what it says in the "File Properties" box:
Filename: CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml

Yet another edit: Will I get bricked if I just flash an OTA update via cwm? It doesn't work on the stock recovery.

RSD Lite is failing help

I had a rooted JB bionic and I wanted to do an FDR... I did and now I am getting a bootloop at the droid eye. I tried to flash the JB file onto the phone with RSD Lite and it failed at step 5/23. I was told to erase a line of the .xml file, I did, and it flashed past 5/23... but then it failed at 23/23 "oem_fb_mode_clear -> Phone returned FAILED." any idea as to how to get past this? Thanks in advance.

Delete that line too.
All that XML file is is a set of commands that you can type in with the "fastboot" command, if you also have adb and other android tools installed. So in the worst case, you can run each command in sequence and debug why its failing.

Razr I stuck in boot loop, locked bootloader

Hi,
i have a European Razr I with locked bootloader on JB OTA update, stuck on boot loop. The bootloader can not be unlocked due to the JB update. That means I cant flash anything over 100mb.
I have tried to flash with RSD some ROMs that are under 100mb and recommended for Razr I on JB.
They are (81.5.31002-81.5.39001.XT890.Retail.en.GB, 81.5.32002-81.5.40002.XT890.Retail.en.EU), both Zip files.They decompress in RSD but error out with following msg
"Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associcated is missing".
I cant find any ROMs 100mb or less with an XML file in it. The bigger ROMs do but they error in the flashing process at step 8 of due to the file size bigger than 100mb.
I also tried to install the 100mb rom in fastboot mode from external sd card but got the error msg below.
Can it be flashed this way or only through RSD?
I am hoping there is a custom ROM for a phone in my situation that can be flashed?.

You cannot flash Roms with RSDlite, only original firmware - for Roms you would also need an unlocked bootloader.
Flash Blur_Version.91.2.26001.XT890.Retail.en.EU via RSDlite 6.1.5, don't try to flash the ICS versions of the EU Retail, they will probably brick your phone.

Thanks but this will not work as one of the files is over 100mb.
I read some where there was a way to edit the xml file to over ride this,is that true?

RSDlite 6.1.5 can flash in 100mb steps, its working 100%. Just download the zip, decompress and flash.

It worked!! . Thanks so much. I was using an older version of RSD.

I tried all versions of RSD Lite but still getting 'Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associcated is missing' with 81.5.39002-91.2.26001.O2.en.DE 4.0.4-4.1.2 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028814.
I went through lot of threads and there was something about a specific xml file, but I didn't find out where can I get it. Also every secon URL is not available any more so it is hard to try something...
Can someone help me?

As the log says, u are downgrading the gpt partition and that may never be done. (atleast till someone founds out how). If u are on JB, use a JB firmware. Likewise with ICS, use ICS. If u are on KK, there is no RSD flashable firmware yet. U need to clean format your cache or even the data partition in the recovery. If u still want to go back from KK to JB. Use the JB to ICS guide (downgrade).

A temporarily solution is to use mFastboot to flash the system_signed, boot_signed and recovery_signed. See the general section/my guide(index) for more info.

Hello everyone,
Forgive me for my bad english. I have the same problem with my Razr i. But i have updated to Kitkat through OTA update. I have tried flashing with RSD lite but no luck. I couldn't find a Kitkat firmware. What should I do now? Thank you all.

Thought I'd put an update on here as I was trying to fix my Dad's Razr i (for about the 4th time.....) and had this issue with the gpt downgrade error.
Eventually thought I'd try a custom rom so went through the bootloader unlock process via the Motorola website and after that completed RSD then let me flash the stock rom.
Not sure if this is a known "fix" but might be worth a go with the usual caveat of unlocking your bootloader will obviously void the warranty
On a side note given the issues with this handset and the problems I had with my own Moto G (4G) I've begun to loose faith somewhat in Motorola as both devices exhibited similar emmc related errors as my G eventually died with what appeared to be memory/flash related HW failures.
