Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble getting open recovery to work on my milestone after flashing the brasil 2.2.1 retail rom.
The bootloader is the same 90.78.
Here's what I did.
I flashed a brasil 2.1 retail rom on my milestone and then used the motorola update tool to get it to 2.2.1.
After a few problems with the retail 2.2 (mostly the screen gets blank for a long time if a call is not anwsered.) i decided to go back to the shadowmod rom which I'm used to.
So, I downgraded back to the 2.1 retail rom, and then flashed the openrecovery found here code.google.com/p/shadowmodbr/downloads/list (MILESTONE_BASE_2.2.1.zip)
Used the open recovery listed there (used to work fine), placed the OR folder and update.zip on the SD card... and after everything was ready, I went to the recovery screen (holding "x" and the camera button) when I got to the Triangle+exclamation mark screen, I pressed VOL UP + Camera Button and NOTHING HAPPENED!
I tried the whole process again with the same result.
I found other VRs here on xda dev foruns, downloaded one specific for the 90.78 bootloader, about 3mb in size (the one on Shadowmod's site is 18mb big) but I can't flash it. RSD lite greyed out the start button once I select this file.
So I'm stuck, I can't get OR working, can't flash any custom roms, and I'm stuck with this problematic official rom =/
Anyone have any Idea about what can I do to get or working?
Do you get any errors in bootloader mode? If no, try flashing GOT 2.2.1 sbf file. Its got vulnerable recovery injected.
If rsdlite doesn't highlight the start button, try renaming the sbf file to something smaller.

No, no, absolutely no error flashing..
As I said, before migrating to the oficial retail 2.2.1, the process I wrote about worked flawlessly.
Can you please provide a link to this GOT 2.2.1 rom you mentioned?
Thanks in advance.

Select anyone. Then flash CM or whatever you want over it using AOR. Don't forget to wipe all.
And if you need to flash only the VR in future, only use this.
You guys might think I'm joking, but I tried flashing every one of the GOT roms (flash went OK, no errors), the vulnerable recovery sleshn posted (RAMDLD90_78.zip, no errors flashing too), and I'm still not having any success getting into the OR.
I sent my milestone to motorola two weeks ago, could it be that they modified something on it to block this exploit?
The bootloader still says version 90.78, but I can't get into the recovery screen at all, isn't there another command besides Vol Up + camera btn to acess the OR?
I'm about to give up =[
I think Joe aka Zeppelinrox has created a script to get you into OR menu automatically. You can pm him. I will post the link here if i find it. I think it is in a thread called handy dandy fixes.

Wow, thanks for the tip, this thread has some useful information.
I'll try that later, as I need to rest a bit, I've been writing my final paper for graduation at my universit for 5 hours straight now...
I'll post the results once I try it.
YAY ! IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, I so relieved now, let me hack this phone apart now.
THANK YOU GUYS !
Of course it works
I mean, I'm glad it worked for you lol
Glad it works
So what are you planning on doing to "hack this phone"?
actually, i dissembled the whole thing today, after I found out that motorola shiped it back with the camera button mounted backwards.. When I pressed it, is started the camera but wasn't really working.. after placing the button in place like it should be, now the open recovery works again by pressing the vol up camera and the camera button, as it should have...
I lost my warranty, but a was about to lose it this month anyway... I'm just glad everything works as it shoud now.
Motorola mis-mounted their own camera button? Sounds like some awesome support haha.

I'm having the same problem but unfortunately it appears the fix requires android to be functioning on the device....Is there any other way? I'm sitting at the triangle with exclamation mark and OR just doesn't want to open! My bootloader is .74 so it should be the CAM+VOL but it doesn't work!
Thanks

No matter what I try I cannot get past this screen.

I've even tried to moto-flash the mbm and cdt files from a downloaded leak file and no luck there either.
Formatting the internal memory after FXZing back to 902 and installing the leak on a fresh formatted SD card with only the leak file on it after OTAing to 905 doesn't work either. I've tried 6 or 7 2233 files, and a couple 2231 files as well as a couple different 902 FXZ files.
ICS is there somewhere otherwise I don't think it'd get that far into the boot process and charge the battery.
When I do a battery pull and try to reboot, it just sits at the Droid screen.
Pulling the battery while plugged in takes me to the Dual Core screen where it sits.
When sitting at the starting applications screen I am able to get tactile feedback when pressing and holding the home key but after sitting for an hour or so there is no feedback from the home key. No response from any of the other keys. The keys are also lit up.
This has happened every time with every leak file I've flashed the exact same way.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Quite a conundrum... Maybe you should wait for the OTA to come out, let it brick your phone, then take it to Verizon and demand to trade it in for a phone with good battery life and no data drops? lol. If I were in your shoes and it looked like the ICS update was gonna make my phone eligible for a warranty replacement, I'd use that as an opportunity to let Verizon spring for a new device. Just sayin'.
My guess is you either currently have or have had CWM recovery installed. If so.... uninstall safestrap/bootstrap, then use root explorer go to/system/bin and delete 2 files... "hijack" and "logwrapper", then change the name of "logwrapper.bin" to just "logwrapper" once you have done that, reboot into stock recovery and try again!
Thats the only thing i can think of, i know the above will solve the problem of getting the error when attempting to flash. Sounds like yours flashed but just wont finish booting.

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..
So this is a must, not a suggestion.

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.
Yes go into boot options (power and both volume buttons) bp tools

Will definitely try it over the weekend .
Did everything like the op said and ended up in a boot loop.So i had to go to ap fastboot and use the utility 1.0 to go back to stock and start over.Not sure what went wrong.Will try again and see what happens.
Hey matt. Nice ROM... it looks really cool. Thanks.
For ppl with unlocked BL are the steps the same. Mine is a bell model and cant update to the leaked jellybean. Also do i need safestrap?
I now there's only like 2 of us in this situation here... thnx in advance

tried tablet version and went into bootloop.....and what happened to the safe strap recovery because this sucks having to rsd, update, root all over again. can i just root, install recovery then restore MY ORIGINAL backup and i assume thats without data. this was a simple op nothing should have went wrong...maybe leave save strap in???
I'm a giddy lil' b#!&h for this! I can't wait to get the time to figure all of this out and get this GORGEOUS ROM runnin! Thanks Matt and Sirhoover for all your work and testing!

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.

For people having problems I hope you restored to a ROM Slot and wiped data/cache. This method has been tested by SirHoover2010 and he says it works.
It works.

Just a head up guys. Official Ice Cream Sandwich came out for Lg optimus 3d, and you can easily get it on your Thrill by using Lg Flash tool found here <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870>
kdz file is here <http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185406> have fun with ice cream sandwich!
ICS
Did you flash this for the thrill? Any extra steps to get it fully working on the thrill?
All you have to do is change the kdz file name to similar formats like other ones

ICS
I got it flashed and it works great. Everything is fully functional on the thrill so far that I tried. It is a nice change over GB for sure. If anyone is curious how to flash this, here was my method...
1.) Get the KDZ file from here (http://www.android-files.de/P920V28B_00.kdz) and rename it to V28B_00.kdz.
2.) On this page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1491870) go down to number 3 and set up Lg Flash Tool EXACTLY how it says.
3.) Select the renamed kdz file you just downloaded in the lg flash tool program and let it do it's thing.
4.) On my first bootup it stayed on the bootlogo forever and just would not start up so save yourself some time and do a factory data reset before your first bootup and it will load up fine. The proper way to do a factory hard reset after flashing is to hold VOL DOWN + PWR till it vibrates and it will prompt you to press the power button twice to reset.
Everyone enjoy ICS on their Lg Thrills!
thanks so much!
I am running v20p stock, rooted and unlocked.
I suppose I can directly flash the renamed ics kdz?
And my thrill will be not rooted afyerwards, but still stays unlocked?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
As long as you follow all the steps above it will flash with no issues. Root and recovery are lost but I think there is a method to get both of them already. I will try to root and recovery later today. As far as staying unlocked after flashing, I am using straight talk so I didn't have to unlock. Hopefully someone else can help you out on that one.

Does that mean the "Software Update" on a stock GB Thrill would install ICS?
Or maybe boot it into "Emergency Mode" (or whatever it is) and using the official LG Tool would work to get ICS without having to do all the smallsrv stuff?
I guess what I'm really asking is, if AT&T officially released ICS, isn't there an easier way to install it?
If you are on stock maybe you can install using the LG Mobile Support Tool. Trying to use that from my ported ICS has messed my phone up though. I'll have to try to rebuild it tonight, hopefully just using the Flash Tool to flash the bin and fls.
I flashed the Korean ICS, hated the bugs, and reverted to GB.
Trying to use the LGMobile Support Tool to install official ICS and it fails. So I guess I'll have to flash the kdz manually.
The Mobile Support Tool appeared to be working for me, until it tried to reboot and I got an "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen.
Now I've used the bin and fls from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198069
After flashing the above with LGFlashTool, I still booted into the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen, but powered down by long-pressing Power, then turning back on into factory reset mode with Volume down + Power. Following the reset, I appear to be running okay now.
Edit: Nevermind, having an issue , the phone won't work with either of the microSDs I have around. First it's saying they need to be formatted so I attempt that. Then it says the card is damaged.

I had the same problem. You need to go to settings - storage and clear both memories. After that, everything is going to be ok. Do you know how to root this official ICS version? (Already tried the adb and unlock root methods to no avail)

I got the KDZ flashed. Running Official unrooted AT&T ICS now.
However, it seems I didn't do a factory reset and didn't NEED to. It's running just fun.
My system ROM is 619MB with 7.38MB free.
I'm wondering if that's normal... That's going to make some things pretty tough. (Guessing unsintalling Gulliver's Travels and that other crap will help)
I did the reset. My system memory is showing 102 MB of Apps (I installed a handful of things already), and 770 MB available.

I meant System ROM, not internal.
And odd, finally rooted, browsing SystemROM with ES File Explorer. Gulliver's not there. Biggest app is Golf and LG Home at 16MB each...
I remember someone made an app to get rid of most of the AT&T crap. That still work for ICS? I remember AT&T Contacts is required. Don't remove that...
Every boot takes a LONG ASS time, about 10 minutes, to scan my media. That's with no SD card inserted. I might do a factory reset.

thank you! but that method does not have instructions and does not seem safe enough...
everyone keeps talking about this rom but no one is saying how to root the rom and no one is pointing out the 3D Converter problem, it does not work at all!!! it works the same way as the xbsall port LOL! and when it does, you can't adjust the brightness...:silly:
Its basically the same version as the xbsall port (v30b) but for some reason it cannot be rooted through the same methods...
I did a factory reset, and the phone stopped booting. Bizarre.
Anyways, I wiped everything but system, and reflashed the KDZ. It's booting now.
Then I flashed the ICS bootloader BUT I used the GB CWM v6. The other recoveries didn't seem to flash properly. So I'm stock rooted now. Now to remember what file to change to make the 3D button work as a shutter.
