i rooted my milestone a few months ago (g.o.t.) and recently i tried to install the shadowsmod gingerbread rom onto it. when i restart the phone it stuck at the Motorola boot logo (M). i can enter recovery mode and do a factory reset but the problem still remains. maybe i just have to flash the stock sbf to fix the issue but the problem is that my battery is almost deplete and that the phone wont charge itself so if i enter the bootloader it'll say: battery Low cannot Program. please help me, i searched hours long for solutions but nothing worked.
Thanks in advance

Have you done a nandroid backup? If so, you must be able to nandroid restore the Milestone, if you still have some batery left. It is usually pretty quick the restore. And if done correctly, your "stone" will be back. Next time flash the phone only when you have a fully charged battery. That would be what I would do.
Hope it helps.
YESS thank you ! i am so stupid : i DID do a nandroid backup but for some reason i forgot it! it works it really works! thanks alot your a lifesaver
Glad I could help . But you went lucky. As soon as I send the reply I though to myself, if the flash is done through .sbfs it must erase the open recovery partition. So, no nandroid restore option. But I guess you where trying to flash the roms from within the open recovery itself. So that way i believe the open recovery partition still remais untoutched. Not shure though.
Anyway, it still worked. And that´s the most important thing.
See you around.
normally if you have this problem after install a new rom, you just need to clear the cache / dalvik cache and it'll fix it

Hi guys,
I used CWM recovery and made a backup of my gingerbread ROM before flashing ICS. Then I used the LCD dencity modder and my phone wouldn't boot into ICS.
So, I went ahead and cleared cache/wipe factory data.
Now when I went back to restoring my gingerbread backup this is what came up:
Restoring system...
Error while restoring /systm!
Couldn't open directory.
No files found.
WHAT the hell did I do????
Any help is welcome, I'm panicking right now
Ok, nevermind, it worked on the 3rd time. Phew!
Don't panic. Read this thread and you'll get out of trouble:

Please delete this post. After going back I realized that when I wiped with TWRP I could do a clean flash.

thank you in advance!
