Hello everyone I have read around and still cant find a answer 100 percent.. I even searched the web. I read lots of guides how to root a milestone a854 but I'm getting different types of errors.. First sites wants you to run the update.zip file which you cant do because you have to use the exploit if im correct. Now, I cant find any help on this problem trying to run a sbf file in rsd lite. I get the this error.
critical error

My boot loader is 2c.6c, my phone is through alltel. I dont want to brick it. I tried to do a Motorola update and it screwed up my phone. Which i almost didn't get it replaced because i void the warranty. It actually reload onto the Verizon service, i didn't have internet access at all, and Alltel support couldn't fix it. I originally traded a htc wildfire for a milestone. Which the guy already had modded. Which it had a nano backups. My phone got stolen and ended doing a insurance claim. So now it has android 2.1 with the update1. I want to root it and be able to run a custom rom, like fire and ice, or like Cynanon mod. I would like to run open recovery, but dont need it if i can run the nanoid backups also. When i run the update.zip i get this error.
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E:EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD
E:signature verification failed.
Installation Aborted.
So if I'm not wrong you have to downgrade the software to run a exploit? Now what spf file should i use and is there any guide or forum with my ? already answered if anyone can point me please. I want to be able to use my milestone with my new hp touchpad. I want to be able to load up a hotspot or use the WiFi tether. Thanks for any help. If anyone needs more info you can pm me or even just post here. Thanks again.

Install rom manager from market. Buy the premium version, its worth it. Install cwm recovery and the app will allow you to do anything. Flash roms, backup.
Your phone is basically a droid1.

Check out this guide here on xda-developers.
The only thing you need to understand is the sequence in which the steps have to be performed. Basically:
1. flash a vulnerable bootloader
2. install a custom recovery like OpenRecovery (update.zip)
3. through the use of OpenRecovery install Cyanogenmod/MIUI ROMs
Ok.. what version am i running?? Im in the usa and got the phone here. The only close place would be canada but i dont know if thats the one. Might be able to use the uk one. What one should i use.. Now if this gets me same results which i have a feeling it will. Will just using the Clockworld mod just work?? I want to be able to use other roms I want to actually use the fire and ice mod. Also would like to be able to use a wifi tether because i just got a Hp touchpad. I can root my phone through z4mod, but i want to be able to do nano backups and stuff like that. Im going to try the canada one and if i get the same error in the rsd lite. What else can i try to get open recovery working?
Thanks ahead for anyhelp.

Have you tried another sbf? Here are some more.
I&F is for the milestone, not the Droid. Did you try ROM Manager?

As Sileshn said, your phone is basically a droid. You will only be able to flash ROMs from the Droid Development forum, meaning Ice&Fire is out of the question.

Yeah, didnt read carefully enough. Ignore my post about the Milestone sbf's.
From what i understand all milestones are droids... Milestone is just a different software and different from the droid in some ways. I use alltel service and when they sell me the phone its the milestone because thats the only phone they offer. They dont offer a driod or anything. But the id number for the phone is supposed to be droid number is what Motorola says. So what kinda options do i have for roms then? Can someone link me the roms that can be used. I have the rom manager but it doenst list any roms in the download area. Its supposedly the paid version. I also wouldnt mind just getting updated to the newer andriod so i can use flash, but alltel doenst offer updates yet. Should i try to root the phone like a driod? because i dont want to mess up the phone because it will void warranties. I like to make sure im doing it right and not going to brick the phone. I figure theres got to people that have the same phone as me and same issues. Thanks again..
Im going to mess with the Rom manager and see if i can get a rom from it. But last time i tried i had no luck with one. I also have the clockwork mod running and can do nanoriod backups.. when i try to recover like one of the fire and ice nanriods it gives me a md5 error.
Thanks. looking for some more help..

No brother. You got it wrong. Milestones are not droids. Two basic differences.
Milestone is GSM, Droid is CDMA.
Milestone has locked bootloader, Droid has an unlocked one.
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-milestone/121260-milestones-not-all-same-a853-a854.html
Alltel milestone A854 is a Droid. All Droid roms will work for it. Just be sure to make a backup of your phone before flashing anything becoz getting 3g to work has been very difficult if you get back to stock.
Cm6, cm7, miui for droid will work on your phone.
You will brick your phone if you try and nandroid restore I&F on your phone. You have been warned.

Found this on Droidforums.net, at least my milestone doenst have a locked bootloader i guess. LOL Still having issues. But I did get rom manager working but when i loaded droid steel it would hang up on the boot screen and would only just replay the boot flash over and over and would not boot all the way up. Anyone else have the same problem?? What other custom rom out there that is good or popular?? Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks..
Milestones are not all the same (A853 / A854)
Something I have not seen mentioned much in this Milestone forum is that there are drastic differences in different models of Milestones. Motorola made things very confusing when they decided to make two phones which are very different have the same name. I started this thread to try and help clear it up a little. I wasted alot of time reading information that was totally irrelevant to my phone.
Milestone Model A853 is GSM and is the Milestone that is mentioned in most forums. Unlike the DROID, the A853 Milestone has a bootloader that only allows signed Firmware to load. There are other differences that I have not researched since this is not the model I have. Motorola is suppose to offer a 2.2 update for this phone at some point in the future.
Milestone Model A854 is CDMA and does not have a locked bootloader. The A854 is the same phone as the A855 Droid but branded with the Milestone name for licensing to small carriers. This model will not receive a official 2.2 update but most if not all the custom roms for the A855 Droid will work on the A854. I am currently running CyanogenMod-6.1.2-Droid which is Android Version 2.2.1 on a A854.
I am sure this is old news for some but like I mentioned before I wasted alot of time reading Milestone forums when I should have been reading Droid forums for information about the A854. I hope someone finds this information useful. If any of this information is incorrect please feel free to correct me.
Now for a question. This forum section is labeled "Verizon Android Phones > Motorola Milestone". Has Verizon ever carried a Milestone? I thought they were CDMA and have always sold the CDMA Motorola A855 Droid.

LOL Sorry did see this post when i type my last one sorry. But thats where i read it at. Also i used rom manager to load Droid Steel which is really nice, but might try some other ones also. Also made backups of orginal rom so i can always go back and like you said if something screws up. I see what your saying on the 3g thing.. Do you know if they have had issues with the 3g on the droid steel because looks like im only getting 1g but i could be wrong. I dont get the best receiption in the house. Thanks for the help, which actually helped me alot. Thanks again.

I also have a A854 milestone and one person will tell ya the droid roms work on it the next person says they wont?!! one person says rom manager wont work for the milestone another says it will! one says CWM will work another says it it wont that need mini mod or andrianai recovery who knows Im afraid to do anything cuz i cant afford a brick!
It's simple:
There was a Droid A855 (cdma, bootloader unlocked)
Only one month later there was a Milestone A853 (gsm/umts, bootloader locked)
So far so good, there's a Droid and there's a Milestone. Two similar, but actually very different, not ROM compatible phones.
And then, more than half year later, there was suddenly a Milestone A854, which is actually a Droid A855, only named differently. (cdma, bootloader unlocked).
Now there's confusion.
So: If you read Milestone, it usually means the GSM variant A853. Droid means A855/A854, cdma.
If you have A854, don't look for Milestone stuff, because you have a Droid.
I recently upgraded from my HTC Hero to an A854, but I'm having a problem getting Rom Manager. It's not in the market, and I've tried downloading it from the site, but I get an error saying "There is a problem parsing the package." Unfortunately I only have my phone on me, and I don't see any other way to flash Clockwork on it. Even if I did have my computer though, I still haven't been able to find a guide without broken links. Any help would be appreciated!
Scratch all of that. Just decided to do it on a laptop a little while ago because I found all the links. Followed the Droid instructions on Cyanogenmod's wiki, but replace the Clockwork .sbf file with a different recovery I found (only because the Clockwork link was broken). Flashed it and everything went fine! Put the good ol' Cyan on it and even though I had it on my hero, it still amazes me. Remember guys, follow DROID instructions if you have the A854!

what do i do here .I have a nexus one unlocked from google and i had the froyo 2.2 .in an attempt to root it i had to downgrade it to epe76 and then frf85b.But i am stuck on epe76.what is wrong,what am i doing wrong?i also copied passimg.zip to my sd card .it says no imge!!!!
You said you were unlocked? Then just flash whatever rom you want from the development section.
Long time reader, first time poster ;D
Same problem for me.
screwed up rooting my FRF91, so downgraded to EPE76, which a kind bloke here was good enough to put together as an entire package.
I think OP's problem is that most flashable roms seem to already require a certain radio, or they're just updates to an existing froyo built.
Seems a little difficult to find a stand alone rom you can stick straight onto your device, even with an custom recovery.
I'd love to be proved wrong!
I think another issue is that there's a lot of jargon in most custom rom posts, or just a general assumption that new users will know what they're doing. Of course, given the right research, most people can figure it out. But I feel your pain, OP.
I mean it is unlocked from Google. Does. That mean I can flash any Rom *? Do I need to root it? I got it to frf85 it asked me if I wanted the ota and I did just that.. my reason to do so was just wanting to make sure I get the necessary information before another attempt.

I have exactly the same issue. And cant seem to upgrade either.
Tried with amon_ra but it says the frf85b file is not signed.
And trying with cyn* everything seems to go fine.
I reboot, and it keeps rebooting into amon....
And when i finally set the device to power of, then turn it back on. Im still stuck in epe76.....
Any ideas anyone?
Hi All,
My droid stopped making and receiving calls, and 3g is usually out. Tried a bunch of different roms including going back to one I know it was always working with, so I don't think it's a software issue.
I also upgraded to basebane C_01.43.01P and that didn't help either. I found a thread on here about returning to stock for the milestone, but I couldn't find info on what I'd need to do so for a droid on verizon.
Any pointers would be great. Ideally, I'd like to do it on linux (as it's all I've got), but from what I've read it seems windows is required.
Cheers,
Alan.
its the same process for the droid as for the milestone. get the original sbf and flash it with RSDlite.
Thanks Daria. Where can I find the original sbf and the current stock rom? Google hasn't been my friend with the rom, I've not yet tried googling for the sbf.
Thanks,
Alan.

Thanks, looks like I wasn't the only one. I ended up doing the update thru Motorola's updater...
And I now have a nice 599$ brick.
Fvck.
what happened?
What's your phone model?
A853 (Telus Canada).
It updated successfully, at the end of the process it asked me to unplug, reboot, replug.
So I unplugged it, and from now on... nothing. Power button doesn't do anything, and plugging it doesn't either.
If you are talking about Motorola software update, you don't need to manually reboot. It should reboot on its own. I don't know what went wrong there.
I dont have a telus sbf, but i have a SEA sbf. You can flash that and use OR to apply telus baseband to get your 3g working. Interested?
I never had to uplug it before, but it had been stuck on the Motorola logo for 25 minutes... a couple minutes is usual after an update, 25 isn't.
I'd like to be able to flash it, however now it just won't power up. Power button doesn't do anything, and same for plugging it.
(OP, sorry for the hijack, considering it's solved I hope you don't mind...)
Remove battery. Plugin phone to charger without battery. Does it show battery icon with ? in the middle?
No, nothing...
greetings,
I had the brilliant idea of flashing my droid 3, but now I'm stuck on a black screen:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.40
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I used RSD Lite to flash, but it just shows
Failed flashing process. 1/18 (...) result FAIL
I'm trying to update with CW, but it stuck after the 'press menu' page
someone knows how to unbrick my phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336980
if youre trying to update through CW, you shouldnt need to use RSD. Since you have used RSD, you need to make sure you have the correct SBF. Im not sure if the Milestone 3/??Model# has an SBF! You will need to sbf (with RSD) and (probably) clear cache (through recovery m+power)
thank U vry much!
giving a try
as soon I get some results, I'll post here

guys,
my greatest THANKS!
after this little time and this little help I can yell:
IT'S ALIVE!! \o/
I almost lost (another) mobile on flash (frist a Motorola v360, then a Palm Treo Pro 850)
on other hand.... it's on CHINESE!!!
but I think I can handle that..... or at least try to....
awesome. i was worried because motorola marketed two phones as the XT860, which is Bell Canada, and Vivo Brazil. everything ive checked out was for the Bell version (even though they could be the exact same base)
now, I'll try to root again, install CW and restore my backup...
wish me luck =P
thinking better....
this whole confusion started because my droid was too slow.... (I guess it's because motoblur) and restore the backup will only help to mess up with my head again

My question is will this recovery method work for Bell Canada users, or will it only function for Verizon users?
I've installed AOKP a few months back, and while I enjoy it, I've lost support for some key features; namely HDMI, which is disappointing. When I tried recovering to the stock rom to hold me over until some new features and revisions show up on the mod scene, I found out my system backup was corrupt.
I have found a few downloads to system images, however every one I have found link to files that are now taken down. Can someone upload a current system dump?

Is it the same as installing a ROM?

No, you have to completely reflash your device and will have to re-root it. I think you should give it a go though
You'll need to download RSD Lite and download the XT860 Bell SBF files (they are about 500mb to download). Also make sure you FULLY CHARGE your phone, just in case you run into any issues. I think you can find an SBF how-to doc in the development forums. Please keep us posted.
Are you on Verizon? Because if you and this works, you probably won't be able to use it with them anymore.
Nope, I am on PCMobile without a data plan, use wifi.
I think maybe I'll try a Rom first.
I'm having issues trying to connect to any network on my MB886. I was able to unlock it within fastboot (I believe this is different from a carrier unlock I need to do). I then put cyanogenmod 10.1.3-mb886 on it. I have a sim card which was working on my old phone in there but it wont show any bars nor connect to any network.
I had the same issue when I first put in my sim card into the phone with the stock OS on AT&T. It showed a sim network unlock screen which I dismissed (i'm thinking I should have done that). Because now I cannot reach any network for voice/messages.
My question - is there a way to set this carrier unlock code within cyanogenmod 10.1.3 ? Or am I missing something here.
I've been stuck on this for a few days and would appreciate any help, thanks!

It's all good here, the friendly neighborhood admins moved this question to the right spot. The subtle differences in the atrix's had me thrown for a loop for a while when i started modding.
I'm beginning to think that loading back stock OS is my best move as i need the carrier SIM unlock message which it did display on me. I was really hoping that theres a way to do this within Cyanogenmod.
As I understand it, the only serious solution is that yes you have to be on the stock factory ROM (or at least the latest official update from the carrier that sold the phone) to get the carrier unlock code to "kick in" and be a permanent unlock. I've read horror stories on many devices where people just wouldn't do that and they ended up creating some mishmash of crap that they weren't able to resolve in the long run.
Best solution in all situations: if you have a carrier unlock code so you can use your device with other carriers, you need to input that code on the network unlock screen you'll see when you power up the phone with a SIM card that isn't one from the original carrier that sold the device (T-Mobile SIM in an AT&T branded phone, etc) but only when the device is running a stock carrier supplied ROM aka the factory ROM or the latest update.
It just doesn't seem to stick or work on a permanent basis any other way, on any device that I've ever used myself.
Thanks. I assumed as much. I didn't make a backup before i flashed CM 10 on it (DOH!). I'm not entirely sure how to return to default stock on it. I saw this guide on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905222 :
Return to Stock
The best and safest way.....
But that is for the atrix 4g not the atrix HD and im pretty sure if I try to install any zips from CWM that are for that phone it will fail.

1) Download the ROM itself from wherever (it'll be the 4.1.1 build named MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip, 431MB in size, md5 is 6b0f3c700fc6ec9de2ecbb9d8552e014)
2) Download Myth Tools and extract it.
3) Put the ROM into the \firmware folder.
4) Make sure USB debugging is enabled (you can figure that one out yourself, I hope) and attach the Atrix HD to the computer, verify the USB debugging is functional - if you have a 4.3 based ROM installed, you'll have to allow the debugging to work by checking the dialogue box popup (part of the new security model for 4.3 as I understand it), once that's done and you get the icon showing USB debugging is running, then you...
4) Run Myth Tools, choose option 2 Flashing Stock Firmware and just follow the instructions.
That's about it.
If this is all related to the Atrix 4G, then stop adding posts to this thread since it's in the wrong place to begin with.
This is clearly about the atrix hd man. His first post states that. I don't understand why you and the other guy are so confused.

Hence my instructions for the Atrix HD, obviously.
Thanks Br0adband, I think your solution of using myth tools will get me where I want to be. However, I can no longer boot to the OS and cyanogenmod just freezes after I installed the wrong kernel (2.3.6 from that previous link).
I'm assuming before I can start your suggestion, I need to flash the correct kernel for my device to fix it. So I'll start looking for that and then follow Br0adband's outlined steps.
Thanks again!
I suppose I'm still a bit lost/confused. I understand the process to return to stock Br0adband outlined but I cant currently boot into ANY OS. I was able to boot into Cyanogenmod 10 but after installing an incorrect kernel (see earlier post) it either freezes at the cyanogenmod loading screen or just keeps rebooting.
I couldnt find a similar kernel for CM 10.1 for my device (which I'm guessing will solve my problem but who knows). Closest I saw was the github cyanogenmod android kernel page for my device but I dont know how to build it into a zip. I think this may also be a red herring.
I've tried re-installing CM 10.1 and doing a factory reset from CWM but so far nothing i've done has seemed to work. Oh I also tried to restore a backup image but no luck .
I'd happily welcome any advice (like is finding a kernel for CM 10.1 the right thing to do to fix this?)
You have to just flash the stock firmware through rsd man. Stock kernel Is included.

Thank you. I got a bit confused with all the CWM installs and everything. I will go through the guide at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231249 .
Quick question though, will this still keep my phone bootloader unlocked, keep CWM and keep rooted? Or will this reset all that? I just would hate to redo everything
Your bootloader will remain unlocked so all you'll have to do is put cwm back on the flash a rooted rom or a superuser.zip for the stock rom.

I just went through the same thing with the carrier problem after CM 10.2 (without the kernel issue) on my Atrix HD, and a clean stock RSD Lite flash as referenced by the guide above corrected it quite nicely.
