[Q] RSD Lite does not recognize my milestone

Please help me. I'm trying to flash the froyo stock rom, BUT my RSD Lite didnt recognize my phone. I tried with bootloader screen, recovery screen, with the phone on, debugging on, debugging off. I tried all the ways it normaly worked. I'm using th CM7 latest build, RSD Lite 4.6 and the latest motorola drivers(MotoHelper_2.0.40_Driver_4.9.0.exe). I tried in two windows xp pcs and one vista pc. I have the same error. It get stuck on "Finding new hardware - MTP Device" I think it have something with portal&tools. Please what i have to do?

I tried with windows 7 64 bits now and failed again!! I find these on motorola forum
https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/38198?start=15&tstart=0

Thanks, but I have already read this tutorial. And my problem is not only windows 7 64 bits. Is with windows xp 32 bits too. I tried every way, but nothing works. I hope someone can help me to solve this. Today i cant test with linux, but tomorrow I'll test. At least I can change between the mods, like cm7 and shadowmod cause i dont have to flash nothing to do this, is only apply a uptade.zip

Ok. Now I'm really lost! I tried with a live cd from ubuntu. But i got this error:
Waiting for phone: Segmentation fault (core dumped).
I think the problem is with my phone. Maybe there is a problem with my bootloader, i dont know! When I turn on my phone with the power+X appears only the exclamation inside a triangle and one picture of a phone. After i do vol up+ camera button appears:
Andoird system recovery <2e>
Use d-pad to highlight; center to select.
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
This last line is a problem? Or use a live cd was my problem? A nandroid backup can save me? I tried, but maybe all of my backups are with this problem. Can someone, please, upload a Nandroid backup from CM7, preferably with only the stock things. Please help me, with you do no how to help, if you know someone who can help, i beg you to tell him my problem. I thank everyone who helped so far.
And please pardon me for my horrible english!

What happens if you select apply sdcard:update.zip?
When I select that, my phone boots into AOR and everything is fine.

I love these forums, I spend WAY too much time on them xD
If you are able to boot into AOR then you already have a VR installed.
Oh wait. You want to go BACK to Froyo? What bootloader version do you have?

That's the question! I don't know how to check that!

Boot into Bootloader mode and the first line should tell you what version your bootloader is.

Maybe there is a problem with my bootloader, i dont know! When I turn on my phone with the power+X appears only the exclamation inside a triangle and one picture of a phone. AND THERE IS NOTHING!!!
Please confirm me, Bootloader screen is when you press power + X button right? And recovery screen is when you press vol up + camera right?

There's your problem! To get into bootloader you need to hold the power button and d-pad up!
When you hold power+x, you are going into recovery mode, the vol-up+camera button is only to display the menu.
Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11902513&postcount=7
And you can get the sbf from here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221
I believe the service version wipes all data.

I am joining the discussion too. Power off phone. Press dial pad up + power key and release. You should see your bootloader screen. It looks like this.

Perhaps you've flashed so many ROMs you forgot you had to get into bootloader in the first place..
Let us know how it goes!

I flashed with the phone on! When i connect my phone and open rsd lite my phone appears there and i flash! I still dont know what happened with my phone to Rsd lite didnt recognize that at this time! Maybe because I always flashed i Full rom and the last time i flashed only the base rom and applied CM7. BUT it doesnt matter now. Thank you all!

That's probably because you need bootloader mode only for flashing sbf's. All custom roms only need recovery mode. It must have a while since you flashed a stock sbf. Anyway, just to point out that if you are planning on flashing a custom rom after flashing the stock sbf, you will need to flash the vulnerable recovery before you can get into recovery mode.
Good luck.

No. I flashed the 2.2 base with my phone on! I remeber that! The rsd lite recognize my phone and i started it! So my phone reboot alone and enter into bootloader alone too. Yes, i'll use your nandroid backup for brazilian froyo! Thanks!

Motorola Milestone always reboot, only on logo

i try to flash with rsd lite SHOLS_U2_02.36.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B806D.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTEU_P046_A008_HWp2a_1FF.sbf
but still same
can any body give solution to back in life this phone?
BL is 90.78

also i try this solution, not working:
jason600 said:
First, flash any froyo (2.2) rom.
Then, take out the battery, then connect to the wall charger (not the PC) without the battery. Put the battery back in if you get the android logo.
I use this method to boot my Milestone when its being problomatic. At the moment, its the only way mine will boot. With mine, I'll get the m logo, then it will panic and reboot. It does this for 5 to 10 minutes, then boots up. Once its booted, everything works fine.
This method 'appears' to bypass some of the checks for normal booting. If I try to boot normally, it will bootloop for hours or until the battery runs out.
You need to flash froyo because when there is a problem, 2.2 kernal panics and tries rebooting. In eclair (2.1) when theres a problem, it just locks at the m logo, so this method wont work.
Also, I dont think flashing with sbf_flash will make a diference, since your not getting any bootloader error messages, the flash is apparently good, something else is causing your problem.
Just to check, you are flashing non-service roms, aren't you? Also try taking out your sim card and sd card, just to make sure they aren't causing problems.

Make that process again with RDS Lite. Keep the same procedure with your correct .sbf files. When RDS appears like into your screenshot, just pull out the phone from USB cable, pull out the battery, turn on the phone in bootloader mode and reconnect the USB cable after the phone it is in bootloader mode. Do not close RDS Lite when you will disconnect the phone from PC. Let him like he is, with the process in pending. After you will reconnect the phone in bootloade mode, RDS should continue the flashing..hope you will succed

Did you wipe the phone?
the phone need Factory reset after flash the Froyo.
you'd better format the SD card and put the Openrecovery file on your SD card.
anyway, if you can enter the bootloader, your phone is ok.

I think you are not using the correct sbf files. RDS has made his job. The phone it should can be turned on....i think .
Give me your IMEI to tell you what sbf files you should use

At the first view i think that is what you need to flash
http://www.multiupload.com/7UK3NUJTQ1
But i will be sure if you tell me exactly what you phone model is. I see into the RDS log 4G OMAP. It is Droid X?

thats what happend to me this morning. my colleague gave me his unrooted 2.1-u1 milestone and wanted me to install latest cm, so I flashed GOT through rsdlite, rebooted and everything went find. installed OR, copied all reqiered update zip files und apllied them in OR - then wiped the phone fully and got stuck on M logo ...
reflashed GOT and it worked again so I just applied the CM update zip and rebooted after fullwipe just to see if the phone will start and it did. maybe a few more reboots (after every step) aren't that bad
-edit
I found out that M-logo reboots have startet, after i applied overclocking in OR.

no it's a milestone

Hi everyone
Please excuse my bad english, it's not my native language, but i'm in desperate need of help.
This seems to be my first post here, but i lurked this and other forums for a long time but still can't find a solution to my problem.
So here it is:
I have MOTO QRTY A853 - South Korean version of Milestone. A few days ago I was reckless enough to flash cyanogenmod 7 update dedicated to Droid. Yes, my bad... What I got is bootloader on startup with some error and no possibility to go into recovery.
I flashed SHOLS_U2_05.27.2_SIGNED....sbf via RSD Lite and thus got normal bootloader and ability to go into recovery. But Android never boot normal since then - Motorola logo is as far as it goes then reboots and it goes on over and over.
I tried different roms but result is always the same - looped reboot on Motorola logo.
I also tried to flash cyanogenmod 6.1.2 and couple of times booting reached animated cyanogenmod logo and one time even android home screen but then reboot again...
I can flash any rom via RSD Lite, via nandroid or via update in Open Recovery. And every rom flashes without any error. I always do all needed wipes before and after flashing. I tried ejecting microSD and SIM-card, overclock and undervolt, my battery is always charged. And all I have is looped reboot.

There must be hope for my 2x that just kinda bricked.

Okay. I really don't feel comfortable trying new stuff without searching everything about it, so I must say I was pretty informed on flashing a new ROM on my 2x.
So I downloaded Rom Manager and flashed Clockworkmod Recovery. Every tutorial I read said I needed to backup my ROM. Also, they said I had to back it up manually, by booting into system recovery, pressing volume down + power, and I kinda ignored that.
I saw the option "Back up existing ROM" or something like that on ROM Manager, so I tried that. My phone rebooted, shown the LG logo, and then it went black and freezed. You can tell the phone is on because the screen stays black, but you can see some backlight. Also, the settings, home, back and search buttons are lit up.
I have to remove the battery to turn it off. I tried booting into recovery with the vol. down + power (I even tried vol. up... and both up and down + power) but it keeps giving me the black screen.
I looked up on the internet to see if someone had the same problem... no one had, apparently.
Sooooo I decided it was time to ask in a forum. Please try to help me, I need my phone working as soon as possible and sorry for my bad english

If u r unable to download smartflash firmware from the above link another link is attached below.Here u will be able to download firmware according to ur region.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
Note in smartflash tool u will have 2 options to select file.CP bin & AP bin.If u download firmware according to ur region u will have 2 files CP.fls and AP.bin.So CP.fls will go in CP.bin option and AP file in AP.bin option.You will have a factory installed device ( data in internal SD will be erased in the above procedure).
Hope this will help.Happy flashing and be careful to follow instructions:good:

Have you done the KDZ procedure? I had to do it when I started playing with ROMs, and I have to say that you need a computer with Windows XP to do it, I tried with 7 in 2 machines and it did not work. Another thing: you have to remove the battery and plug in the usb while holding the volume down rocker.
Also, are you sure clockwork mod is not working? You cant release the power and volume down rocker until it boots into clockwork mod.

Yes, I tried the KDZ, but on a windows 7. I'll try it on my pc (where I use windows XP).
What happened on the windows 7 is that the phone DIDN'T GO INTO SW UPGRADE screen. And I removed the battery and everything.
Clockwork mod isn't working.
but thank you, I will try it here on my XP once I finish downloading everything again

I has to go into de SW Upgrade screen. Again, no battery, hold volume down (and do not let it go until the SW upgrade screen shows up), plug in usb.
This mode is OS independent, even if you plug the usb on a wall charger (I tested it and it worked), it HAS to get into this recovery mode.
That what you want to see (not my picture, took from Google Images):

[Q] Brick Challenge lvl hard - Milestone stucks on bootload

Whats up cheers!
After try flash a droid kernel, my milestone stucks on the bootload on this err:A5,69,4E,00,23 (version 90.78). But, i can access the normal bootload with no error, pressing UP when the phone starts.
The RSDLite recognise my device, but without any informations (before it, when I had flashed the vunerable recovery, a lot of infos, like the OMAP platform appears on the screen).
I can access the recovery screen, but without the menu, just the /!\ image (my device don't work with VolUp+Cam [the buttons work perfectly on the android], to install my CM7 custom rom i had to instal some scripts on the stock rom, but the device don't starts anymore, so i can't install any script).
So, I think, if I can open the recovery menu and re-install the cm7 my brick will be back, but HOW? Exists a mod to work this way?
Sorry for my bad english, i'm brazilian.

As long as RSDlite sees the device, you should be able to SBF back to stock. Once you are back to stock you can go through the root process again, install Open Recovery, and then you will be able to restore your nandroid backup.
Another option is, and I don't know anything about the Open Recovery for Milestones, but some custom recoveries have a way of cold booting straight into the recovery. If you can find out how to do that then you are golden, if not then you will have to SBF.

Try these two things, if they don't work then I think you are stuck with SBFing.
From phone off state - Hold Power+X. When you get to the triangle with !, try either VolUp+VolDown or VolUp+Camera. If you don't get into the recovery that way, try:
From phone off state - Hold Power+Camera. If that gets you to a triangle with ! then try the same key combinations from above.
If neither of those work for you, then SBF your phone and start over. If you get bootloops after SBFing, boot into the stock recovery with Power+X and wipe data/factory reset.

I had downloaded the Brazi Retail one on this link: sbf.droid-developers(dot)org/umts_sholes/list.php (I can't link before 10 posts, change the (dot))
But, before the flash, i saw a problem: The A853 SBF is only for Canada, the rest, i think, may be for the Droid, and not for the Milestone.
Please, help me one more time! How version I need?

All of those should be for the Milestone. Any of the Brazilian ones should work for you, they are most likely just different versions of the OS. If you press back in the upper left hand corner of that page it shows that the Droid (A854,A855) has it's own download area. All the Brazilian ones seem to be the SHLA SBF's and I believe that is what you are looking for.

haha, not sure I've been on here long enough to have friends to call upon. I'll go through that list again tomorrow and see if I can figure out what went wrong.

Are you running RSDLite as Administrator? If that is not the issue, try to shorten the path and filename (you have a space in your path? (M MS)). You could also try to use earlier versions of RSD, I used 4.9 with no problems (mostly).

[Q] [I9001] SGS+ bricked/broken

Hey guys,
I own a SGS+ and tried to flash a ROM a few month ago.
Not sure which one it was in particular but it was a 4.1.2 ROM.
Normally it worked pretty well but that time it broke my phone apparently.
So now a few month later I tried to get it to work again.
My phone stucks at the splashscreen, easy said.
It boots till the splash screen and then it's on for about 3-4 minutes I guess and then the screen turns off.
But apparently it still runs because if I try to start it again over the power button it doesn't work.
I have to remove the battery, insert it again and then I can use the power button.
I tried several things and I'm out of information here.
So maybe one of you guys can help me out here?
Thanks for reading!

Try wiping cache an dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help do a full wipe and install a new rom. If it still doesn't work, flash a stock rom via odin. Also, which recovery are you using?
Sent from my GT-I9001 using xda app-developers app

Already did everything you mentioned, multiple times.
Well I used at first CWM 6.0.1.2 then switched to 6.0.2.8, then 6.0.3.2, then 6.0.3.6 and then TWRP 2.4.0.0 and TWRP 2.6.0.0.
I tried those who should be for the bricked phones.

Try to flash a new kernel, then flash a new ROM. You should be able to get into download mode...

That's not the problem.
I can get into download mode, I could get into download mode all the time.
I don't think you got my problem right:
My phone stucks at the splash screen.
Doesn't turn off only screen turns off but the phone is still running.
I can only reboot if I take the battery out.
So it boots up to the splashscreen and stucks.
I flashed a few new roms and nothing worked.

If you can get into download mode, try flahing a stock rom via odin.

Download BroodRom(Not ics or jb just the old GB edition) it's a lifesaver.
1.Go to recovery.
2.Format EVERYTHING(data, cache, dalvik AND system.)
3.Download mode
4.Flash broodrom with Odin.
That should work!

Not really, still the same.
My phone still stucks in splashscreen.

Does nobody else know a solution?
I can flash normal, go to download mode easily and everything else too.
It just stucks in the splashscreen.

Follow my tutorial about how to flash back to stock. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44047896&postcount=2

Maybe you didn't flash appropriate ROM for your device. Read this thread, especially the first post by our forum mate xsensman and try to check if it could be concerning also your device:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890667

Even through I know how to flash, I tried the two links from the guys above and tried them.
Again nothing happened either.
Flashing was okay, everything was fine.
Unfortunately the phone still stucks in splashscreen.
No one else knows what I could do?

verify serial No

Mate, something is strange there. With splashscreen you mean bootloop, right? So you see the logo, but the phone doesn't really loads the Android?
OK, here we go: please remove the battery and write down your serial No and google a bit is it really i9001? There are about 20 different types of SGS so just to make sure which model do you have.
That bootloop can happen for several reasons, but I would assume that in your case it happens either for:
bootloader isn't working properly
you haven't flashed the proper ROM for your device.
I suspect very strongly the bootloader, so re-flashing the bootloader via Odin, theoretically, should revive your phone. Just check (as written above) do you REALLY have i9001, (as otherwise -if not- you could brick it with the bootloader for i9001):
First post, "5. Follow the instruction" (all files there)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32144697

I'm 100% sure that I have a real i9001, not a special edition or something like that.
And I flashed before it got broken a few month and the roms worked just fine.
Well but then it broke somehow.
I just see that my phone with the CWM-Recovery can't format /data and hangs.
Can't do anything unless I remove the battery and boot up again.
Could this be a hint for you guys?

I have no idea what may that be, but are you sure your phone is bricked?
Have you tried to use normal TWRP 2.6 instead of that one for bricked phones?
I don't know, but maybe this helps:
Guide: How to Recover from a bootloop http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660596

@tetakpatak: Yes, I did it like the post "suggested".
@3L4CK_5C0RP10N: No, I'm actually not sure, that's why I wrote "bricked/broken".
I'm not the best guy at those things as you can guess.
No, I didn't tried the normal one, gonna try it now, atleast it's worth trying.
I read the post you linked me here and tried those things, unfortunately nothing happened.
Even tried it with ADB, also no solution found there.
But thanks already for the work guys!

suggest you try the following:-
1) power it down, remove battery, remove SIM card and Ext SD card and press and hold your power button for at least 30 seconds to a min, before reinserting battery and entering CWM recovery
2) In CWM recovery, enter Mounts and Storage and Format every partition, that can be formatted, repeat it twice ( You will lose all your data ) meaning you will be trying to get a clean environment for a fresh start. Do not reboot but pull out battery, press power for a few seconds and insert battery.
If you need your data, in mounts and storage, enter usb storage, here with usb connected to PC you can copy your entiere internal SDcard to PC, for salvage later.
3) get into Download mode, to flash the oldest i9000 Stock ROM 2.3.3 with AriesVe.ops using Odin 4.43 ( with ops ticked) How to flash follow this
