[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
It looks like my problem! There is some way to flash a sbf on linux?

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.

Perhaps you've flashed so many ROMs you forgot you had to get into bootloader in the first place..

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!

I removed the battery when phone was in download mode

Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with Android 2.2 (FROYO) system upgraded from 2.1 version using oden.
Yesterday I tried to update this system because I have some problem in my phone (shutdown automatically...). I used the same method I used before to UPGRADE the system (oden write SBL above the port number colored in yellow).
Unfortunately, when the phone was in "download mode", oden has stop working on 30% approx. it says that the com port is not available (knowing that this port worked correctly when oden established the connection). So I removed the battery from my phone...... (I know it is a stupid idea).
Now the phone do not start-up and when I connect it to pc nothing happens.
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help me what must I do??
Thank you guys

Can You Boot the phone into download mode manually ?
press volume down + home + power simultaneously
ps that wasn't stupid idea - it was the only solution to turn off broken flashing, but You must try boot it again to download mode and flash again but this time make sure that every file is properly placed in odin: file with MODEM as phone, CSC to CSC and third to PDA.

Oy.
As far as I know losing power to the phone or rebooting the pc while flashing the bootloader is one of the only ways to properly brick the sgs.
This sounds bad...very bad. If the bootloader had been erased but the new one hadn't been written before you pulled the battery, then I fear it is Goodnight Charlie. No bootloader, no phone.
If you can use the three button method to get to download mode as the post above me suggested, you will be alright.
If not....maybe a jig but I would doubt it.

Hi,
The button combination do not work
what did you mean by "jig". I am sure there is a solution
You seem expert so you can find a creative solution

try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819551 or give it to nearest samsung service, just say it is broken doesn't start - do never ever say its broken because i flashed it
Long time ago i have bricked motorola, said its broken and wont start - what they did was main-board replacing of course free by warranty

I purchase this phone locked for orange in France and I unlocked it to use it outside France. Can this cause a problem?

I agree that a service center is your.only option now.

i would strongly suggest you first try building the jig with resistors
if that doesn't get you into download mode, then you can take the phone to your provider.
good luck mate

How can I do this, I know that if the Samsung logo does not appear (like my case), then this method will not work. What do you think?

are you able to see the following image on your phone when you start it up?

if you see this then it can be saved, if its just a black screen you are kind of screwed

Does the phone show any reaction? Does the acreen show anything? Any Sound? If it's just a black stone and doesnt react at all, send it to Samsung and as reason for the phone to be bricked, just say Kies f***ed it up while you tried to sync contacts or so. I did that one week ago and as you can see it's working again.
Well if it shows reaction try building your own jig as mentioned in the thread above or buy one from ebay to boot your phone into download mode.

ONLY black screen. The phone is out of warranty, will this cost a lot? they will fix it by hardware (change a part) or by software?

Try this:
1. Take everything out of the phone (sim, micro sd, battery)
2. Press volume up+home+power
3. Put the battery back in while still having the three buttons pressed.
4. Hopefully you are in download mode.

Tutorial: how to unbrick your phone

Bricked my phone after trying out CM7 and then flashing Stock ROM via KDZ_FW_UPD without wiping all data.
Found a way how to fix my problem. This should work for almost all bricked phones.
Remember, this will wipe ALL DATA from your phone. I'm not responsible if something happens with your P970. Do at your own risk.
You will need:
Drivers for P970;
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
UpTestEX_mod2_marwin
WindowsEnablerv1.1
Download
Start from here if it's first time (no drivers installed, etc):
1) Install all drivers (from Drivers folder);
2) Disable LGE Virtual Modem (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager);
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Start from here if drivers already installed:
3) Run msxml.msi (in KDZ_FW_UPD folder);
4) Delete mfc42.dll (from KDZ_FW_UPD folder);
5) Run WindowsEnabler.exe and set it to ON;
6) Run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe;
7) Set your phone to S/W Upgrade mode (take out battery, while pressing Volume Up, plug USB cable).
1) Select KDZ file (download from here);
2) Click "CSE web upgrade test", then "Upgrade Start".
Chose your language and wait till phone reboots. It will take some time and could look like nothing is going on. If you see something similar to this (on your phone) for a moment, everything went OK.

maaaaaaaaaaaaan em trying it right now.....let u know as soon as i see some results
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------
"YES" it really works!!!
Thanks a billion times man! You saved my life
(for everyone else who is trying to follow this TUT...when i was updating it was stuck at 4% and showed a lot of errors in the log below...but i guess that didnt matter and now it works...that screen at the end is really must...and i had to force close the update tool after my phone was working)

I think this is solution for ALL BRICKED P970s that can enter into S/W Upgrade mode!!!
Very important is that this method do HARD RESET after flashing firmware so it could UNBRICK ALL of our phones.
Can anyone with bricked phone (not CM7 brick) can test it?

I a little bit edited tutorial and, yeah, it could help for all bricked phones. We just need someone who could test it out.

I linked it at RC's G+ and RootzWiki, in response to those bricking their OB's in regards with CM7. Hope they could give us feedbacks.
Sent from my Optimus Black using xda premium

cool, finally a method that can do "hard reset" without a running system or a recovery installed !!
LG would have implement the hard reset in his Recovery in the B2CAppSetup ! it would avoid lots of send back to LG customer service !!
Thanks

No, LG would have implement the recovery key combination... It would be remedy for almost all P970 bricks...
Does anybody knows another phone with Android without hardware key combination for recovery?
Is it even possible that hardware key combination (changing bootloader) will be possible to add-on by official LG firmware update? Maybe they should do this with official 2.3 upgrade, but it is probably only dream...
PS. I forgot to thanx, ziiljuks, you're the man!

yes, recovery combination key would be better ^^
ps: I think x8 doesn't have it either

quote from rootzwiki: "adb.exe reboot recovery saved my life!!!!"
i guess we can boot into recovery with this command. i didn't know that adb environment can run with bootloop or volume up screen... can anybody confirm this?

No, it can't. You need to boot to OS and have enabled Debugging to get ADB working.
I was trying it many times when I bricked my phone. Look HERE.

It seems very good work! But i just bought my phone, i have not fllash my rom yet, since i am afraid that flashing will damage my warranty forever. Could shut body tell
Me whether there is ANY means to recover the warranty........

Nope. Tried that when I bricked my phone couple of weeks ago.
EDIT:
Tested it 5 mins. ago with CS_EMERGENCY in KDZU, and no. No hard resetting.

hmm I should test this tool again. I previously gave up that because it has never worked, until I know those kdz files must keep their name

i dont get the "CSE web upgrade test" button in the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin window.
any ideas?
tried normal upgrade but dosnt make the factory reset and keep geting boot loop.
yes another victim of CM/ > Stock
ok found it. in the type has to be in CDMA not 3GQCT

Hello,man.
There's some problems in using this method.
A guy does the upgrade,and the phone is stuck at 4% too. But unlike the situation u've met, there's not even a error in the log. Then , he has to switch off the USB(means disconnect the phone and the PC. sorry, my English is... - -#). I wanna know how much time does the upgrading process takes. Thanks.
Meanwhile ,there's another guy. He did the same thing .And the phone reboots finally. But what confuses me is that he didn't get the picture on the screen. Could you explain , thanks in my heart!
And thanks ziiljuks very much!

maybe a corrupted kdz file, try to re-download another.

Download THIS package. It has all the files in one folder. Unpack it to C:\ You should get C:\P970_unbrick\*files here*
Install msxml.msi, then run Windows Enabler.exe and click on its icon in the taskbar. Icon will change and will show "ON". Then run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe and do the rest of the job.

When i followed this tut my update process was stuck at 4% and actually it "didn't" flash the stock rom...(although it was already flash before my the KDZU tool) this tool simply after giving alot of errors in the log file did a hard reset (that last screen---which actually does the magic by formatting the data partition). After that screen my phone restarted and BINGO i was at the setup wizard! then i closed the tool bcz it was stuck but my phone was working

Hello
Just to make sure you did plug it in with battery out and volume up button pressed?
If you did and it still doesn't work then your x-loader and U-boot is definitely fried.
Then we can confirm that SW Update is done from already working U-boot (We are trying to modify the KU5900 V30 to fit our phone but we needed to make modifications to U-boot and we too afraid to test because of this.)
If you plug your phone in does your computer detect it at all? (If your computer is running Linux then there's nothing anyone can do short of opening up the device and re-flash the flash memory using specialized tools. Well that's the conclusion I drew when scouring the internet a few days now in search of a method to revive a boot-loader-less Optimus.)
If your computer detects anything then you can save your phone.
You said that the service-centre said that the boot-loader is gone. Did they refuse to fix it?
I'm going to keep on searching to find a way to fix it from shot boot-loader so that we can start working in modified U-boot and of course now to help you too.
Hope you get your phone fixed.
Good Luck

Code:
Phone is not connected to the computer.
On pressing the button does not respond.
The charger starts to charge the battery.
Dealer refused to repair, as the phone was purchased in Germany and I was in Russia.
In general, what should I do? Point the blind on the themes of repair or tell what to expect?

Your ROM is fine since it Read Only
Instead of booting from the Flash Memory in the phone (which doesn't work in your case) I have been looking into the possibility of booting from SD Card. Easy to fix if something goes wrong and doesn't do anything to the device itself. In your case if you can boot from SD Card then you can restore your first few partitions and have SW Update Working again and recover from there.
The Rom supposedly looks for boot devices in the Following Order :
Seral -> SD -> Nand
Booting from Serial is nearly impossible since we can't make a proper connection to the phone without U-boot already set up. LG probably did it on purpose.
Booting from SD is the next thing. I only recently came onto the idea and I still have to figure out how I am going to approach this.
LG has the power to change the ROM so it might not be possible to do this. I will post again as soon as I find out what order our device looks for boot devices.
Good Luck in your efforts.

How did you come to this failure? As I read, there was an error updating the firmware.
Give us a background. What firmware did you flash? KDZ or BIN? Did you modify anything?
Must try bringing up S/W Updater mode. Insert USB and press volume up for few seconds and don't release.

Hmm, maybe wrong ROM flashed? Then it would be changed anything related with x-loader and u-boot...
But when looking this,

Yep. Might want to rest it for several minutes, or hours. Remove battery and let it sit for a while. Then try again booting in S/W update. Volume up (+) first and then insert USB.

Connecting the charger is not indicating the display screen.
NOT S/W repair.
after a failed firmware - Display never light up.
Read about boot from a flash card, please give more files or describe a way to restore the phone

I ran some tests today and they were not so informative. Afterwards I found out that the X-loader I used looks for U-boot from the onboard storage first so it might have worked but just loaded U-boot from normal storage and continued as if nothing funny happened.
I'll keep you posted.

Good news! Our Device Supports Booting from SD
I recently figured out that we have a internal sd the is booted from, I always though it was NAND.:silly:
I'll have a test for you to run in a few days, maybe less. I don't expect much more than the LG logo to show, but thats more than what you got, right .

I haven't been able to get a working solution. (I think mine stops when finding working X-loader from device itself then continueing)
I don't have time this very instant to write how I make (supposedly) bootable SD. I won't have time tomorow either, unfortunately. I should have time over the weekend.
Do you have a linux machine availiable? I don't know of a way to do it in Windows or OSX.
This is still a long shot by any chance. You should look into the possibilaty of taking your phone to a cellphone repair shop (Not your service provider a proper cellphone repair shop). It might cost a bit, but it will make your phone work again.

Bricked P970 stuck at LG logo
Hi, I have a P970h which had Huexxx's Zeus 7.0 ROM and I sent CWM to do a backup of the ROM's current state. I continued to work but then I realized the phone was still sitting in th LG logo after quite a while. I dindn't know Zeus had the option to go into recovery by pressing a physical key (G button) multiple times while starting boot and I got into CWM recovery thinking I had pressed a key combination. I was able to wipe the cache and the phone booted normally but as I didn't have the battery in the phone as it was booting when I put the battery and unplugged the phone from USB it still showed as if I had full battery, so I sent the phone to reboot.
From that moment on I wasn't able to find the "key combination" that got me into CWM recovery and I flashed the stock ROM to send it to warranty to my local carrier. They weren't able to get it passed the LG logo and told me that it was due to the phone being dropped as it was showing a little bump on one of the corners of the battery cover and told me that because of that bump the warranty was void.
I have tried to get it out of the bricked state via SMARTFLASH, LG Mobile Support Tool, KDZ_FW_UPD, using the stock KDZ file for my device, injecting CWM and so on, but I'm still staring at the LG logo. I'm able to get into S/W Upgrade mode at any time, and the problem presented is the typical brick with the LG logo showing and the action keys smoothly and repeteadly going on and off.
I'm not new at using ROMS but it's the first time this happens to me and I'm sure if I'm able to go into fastboot or recovery I'll be able to unbrick the device, the first thing that comes out of my mind is if it is possible to reverse engineer a flasheable ZIP file with Zeus ROM so I can access CWM recovery into a KDZ file but I don't think that's possible.
What do you think I can do in this case? Should I feel hopeless?

Your bootloader is fine. If you can go to SW Update mode and device is pysically OK, then you can easily recover. Go to SW Update and follow recovery procedure using SFT. If that doesn't work (asuming you did it right) then your device is physically broken.

I have done the SFT procedure propperly, if I'm not mistaken, that's the tool I initially used to root the device, I have tried the stock KDZ file, converted to BIN and FLS and a couple of BIN and FLS packs posted here at XDA but haven't been able to get it to work. I have only dropped my device twice, once without silicon case and the other with silicon protection, both times the height of the fall was minimal and they were far back from the moment the phone bricked.
After my first attempt to unbrick via SFT I started thinking this was a faulty device and it was a fail waiting to happen since shipped from factory and that's the reason why I sent it to warranty claim. Thanks anyway...

[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?

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.

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
