For unknown reasons, the SBF recovery in RSD lite 5.5 comes up with a "pass" result when the SBF itself actually fails. It runs like it worked, but on the final reboot, I get an endless bootloop.
Backstory:
I made a rom, flashed it, bootloop, go to SBF, SBF passes but bootloops.
*ps i've tried it 4 additional times and each time still bootloops even though it says "pass"
I've done this at least 4 times in the past 3 days trying to get my rom to flash. What the FUUUUUUUUUU*K is it doing this for now?

Is better to open the mouth having something useful to say, and not to spread urban legends.
(for the record I have the chinese rom installed on my phone, which is a verizon phone.)
Is a way better rom in many areas, but my purpose was not to suggest a different rom, but to solve a problem, with a safe solution, as I'm used to do in the last 30 years.

I bought a Milestone off ebay that was locked assuming I could just hard reset it manually. Well, either the camera button is not working or im pressing it wrong because I read the sequence was POWER + CAMERA. Is there any other way to hard reset the phone even though it's locked? I just updated it to 2.2 hoping it would reset.
Try this...
https://motorola-global-en-uk.custh...milestone---master-reset-/-factory-data-reset
Either do it in android or reboot to bootloader. Both are provided.
Or install adb and do
adb reboot bootloader.

That's the problem, the phone is locked, so I'm unable to do it within the system and I believe the camera button is broken so I can't do it manually.
Flash non-service sbf, that will factory reset the phone.

Sbf is flashed via bootloader. Root permissions in existing system have nothing to do with it.

I'm not really familiar with this stuff. How exactly do I go about flashing the SBF. I have the UK Milestone so I downloaded the Telus SBF or should I have gone with the UK one?
For European Milestone use one of the European sbfs.
See this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
Try holding the X button while powering on the phone.
Some bootloader versions don't work with the camera button (like mine - also european Milestone)
Indeed, good point. Bootloader 90.78 expects the X key, any older bootloader revision the Camera key.

You said your note came from repair and it was on download mode. I think it was NOT REPAIRED AT ALL. Country or region has nothing to do with manual flashing. You only need region when using kies to update.

Tbere is no need to try different roms as every rom is like same. Not much difference. Maybe your device is hard bricked and writing isn't possible. Get your motherboard replaced.

Using Odin I installed the Poland software but it seemed to have failed because now I am not able to register on a network. I have an international version of the Note 2 that I am using in the US. Since I am not able to connect to a network I am lost as to what to try. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Hi
My stock JB official unrooted rom suddenly went to a bootloop. I looked up online for solutions and flashed an official JB ROM for my phone and Odin failed to flash it. I tried Philz recovery but Odin failed to flash it. I got a yellow triangle which I was able to removie through Odin. Currently my phone is stuck on the splash screen. Recovery doesn't work. Odin fails when I try to reflash with a md5.tar file. Please experts help me with my problem. would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Yes you must be on the Jellybean leak, rooted, with Safestrap 3.0 installed.
Well I rebooted without wiping data or cache and now my phone won't boot.
Cannot enter SS3 either..

For you it was a must, in my other experience it's a suggestion. Always wipe if unsure. I will note this in the OP, however.

Well you can go to leaked Jellybean for AT&T if you are boot loader unlocked... You flash system and boot.IMG from ATT 77.12.22 then boot to stock recovery and install the jellybean leak after the normal root procedure ( root, ota root keeper, etc) see the threads for those Also might need to wipe data when flashing att files or boot loop.

while trying to get a recovery to work with no avail, i wiped cache and did a factory reset and now i am in a boot loop. wish i could remove the freaking battery. just got my phone today and the first thing i did was updated to sense 4.3. I then unlocked the bootloader successfully. I started having problems with flashing a recovery even though the bootloader said unlocked and tampered. twrp would not boot, but i got cwm to boot. the problem on cwm was i didnt have access to all the folders like the downloads folder that had the su zip. I did have avast already installed while i was trying to root(going to activate antitheft once rooted) i thought avast might be the problem so i uninstalled went back into recovery wiped cache and did a factory reset hoping cwm would access the folder i need nope. so i was calling it a night and booted up the phone and now it is STUCK. It was easier rooting my evo 3d with brick method. PLEASE HELP ASAP

Looking at my bootloader I do not think I am on the KK bootloader it gives me a date of 2013-09-25 I am assuming that is the original bootloader that it came with. Guess I'll do a search for the KK bootloader and see if I can get that flashed over.

To get the KK bootloader, I flashed the latest OTA through rsd lite. It should keep the boot loader unlocked but will remove root. If you plan on using a stock ROM, Q9Nap's GPE is very smooth and stable. Their thread gives links and instructions on how to flash OTA.
So the Frog has officially Croaked his Phone.
Yes you heard right I have managed to kill my phone. Only good thing is that I couldn't use it for much more than a mini wifi tablet so I didn't really loose anything.
I could not get Twrp 2710 to work was because I had the old boot loader So I decided to update the boot loader which I did but now the phone will not go out of the boot logo screen. I have successfully reinstalled my ROM and still will not go past the boot logo screen. I have tried fastbooting back to the old bootloader but no luck there either. I have spent about 2.5 hours this morning trying different things to get it to work and nothing I have found or came across will work. I have however successfully installed twrp 2710 and now have it working. Considering that is the only area of the phone That I can actually get into i guess thats something.
Some of the older Roms won't boot on the kk kernel they will not boot past the boot logo... When you upgraded did you flash the entire kk firmware via rsd? And it wouldn't boot past the boot logo...
