[Help needed] Semi-bricked Milestone

Hi all,
prior to any comment, yes, i know there are already posts on this issue, however looking through them didn't help at all unfortunately.
I have a Moto Milestone, origin is Israel.
somewhere along the way i've updated the bootloader to 90.78 and since then - the phone is stuck in the notorious loop and cannot restart the OS.
Tried already to reflash the phone without luck using RSD Lite (downloaded the SBF through http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone - the 'official' Cellcom IL SBF that was there...)
anyway - i can still access the bootloader which tells me the phone is not fully bricked, however i can't seem to find any proper SBF so it'll reflash itself back to an operative state.
One major problem here - the phone won't get into recovery mode (i've tried all the combinations i know and that have worked before)
i've also read about wiping the cache and user data however - as far as i know, this can only be done by entering the recovery mode, right?
one last resort i've tried - trying to split the SBF and reconstructing it - still no joy.
does anyone here have any advice or solution o this issue? what kind of SBF do i need? how to manually reconstruct the SBF with proper files? etc.
Thanks in advance,
Tomer

Have you tried loooking into fastboot?
Sometimes a phone wont respond to to adb commands and the recovery is corrupted, but you can still flash partitions using fastboot. I "saved" a Moto dext in this fashion once. Cant remember the exact commands, but it was similar to the adb flash commands. I reflashed the recovery partition and then used recovery to flash a ROM in update.zip format. For some reason RSD lite was failing on this phone.
Just something you may want to look into if you are desperate about saving your MS.

Hi Caz666,
well, thought this might actually work, but had no luck.
when i try to flash my phone it does nothing other than showing me 'downloading boot.img' and thats it.
is there anything else to do in order to save my phone? i really like it
I'm also willing to donate through PayPal to anyone who can describe any working method or that can point me to any valid working process...
thanks again.

are you sure your drivers for the phone are installed properly? what RSD lite version are you using? What system? windows 32 or 64 bits?

I'm quite sure they're installed properly as i managed to upgrade my bootloader version using the RSDlite.
my system is 32 bits and the drivers are the ones i installed throught the Motorola website. I've first used RSDlite 4.6 but after reading a bit I understood there are some differences between versions hence upgraded to 4.9.

Try the 90.78ch bootloader from http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone ...
"XT702 variant of the 90.78 bootloader (notes from 90.78 apply here too).
It's reported to work on the A853 too. "
You've got nothing to loose on trying this. Let me know!

*** [update]
I'm now on 90.78ch and see no difference whatsoever.
I've now started investigating how to re-compile an older SBF file so it'll contain the new RAMDL
(I want to flash the Brazilian version however it contains only 90.74 RAMDL)
I've compiled a new file, however the checksum is incorrect.
How it is possible to recompile this properly?
Already tried the website, the mirror there is no leading to the bootloader itself but to a wiki site.
i've tried searching almost anywhere i know, but this bootloader is non available to download.
if there's another mirror site such as rapidshare or megaupload - i'd be happy to be pointed towards it..

Right, is it possible to boot into recovery on your device by holding 'X' button?

You locked yourself out by upgrading the bootloader to the latest one.
Neither downgrade of bootloader would be possible, nor flashing older firmware SBF's.
Apart from that the milestone uses signature check on certain parts of the firmware. I really doubt that it's possible to tweak/recompile a complete SBF.
Something worth to try, is to flash vulnerable recovery SBF from within bootloader mode using RSDlite.
Here's the link to gitorious: http://gitorious.org/droid/openrecovery/blobs/master/zips/SHOLS/vulnerable_recovery.sbf
If the link does not work for you, there are also some mirrors of this file floating around. Just search!
I guess this should work, because the recovery SBF is using RAMLDR 90.78 (do know about the sign check during flash, but i guess checksum should be O.K.).
With vulnerable recovery properly installed, you might then use OpenRecovery to check your system and restore to some working state.
Good luck!

Thanks Scholbert for the detailed answer.
the link you gave directs to an image the RSDlite cannot flash (=error validating image).
If your interntion was that I'm supposed to flash the vulnerable recovery only, than bad news - It's already 'installed' on my device (and it shows no error whatsoever during this installation..)
Well, thanks again for trying to help, I think I'm officially out of suggestions or options here unless anyone can give further advice...

So can you still enter recovery?

No, never did (since the upgrade)
If I had access to the recovery i would have at least managed to install OpenRecovery or something and manage to reflash the device

Did you try to fastboot flash only the boot.img? What about recovery? I seem to remember flashing a recovery.img on the dext...but this was last year. I may be wrong but i believe i flashed only a recovery image and then was able to access the recovery (which would allow all sorts of additional goodies).
I find it strange that fastboot reports only downloading. I seem to remember some error messages and timeouts?

Nope.
trying to flash the recovery / boot images only results in the message 'downloading...' and nothing (waited for like 3 hours..)
when I terminate the action by Ctrl+C and then trying again - the message is instantly 'FAILED..' along with specification that the action of sending the command has failed.
I'm literaly out of ideas, don't know what to do..

I am starting to think that there is something wrong with your device (like broken hardware).
In all my experimenting with rsd/fastboot, i did not once get a "hang". I would get checksum/signature errors, size errors, etc...but i always got some type of error code or status.
This is on 3 different Mot devices that run Android.
Sorry

The device was working fine before upgrading the bootloader, so it seems that this is not a hardware issue.
Either way - guess i'll be taking it to a lab and let them figure this out..

@streetracer89101 - no, as far as i know Droid and Milestone use different firmware so it won't help unfortunately. Not that it would matter if I did flash my device - it's not like I can use it anyway..

These are files that can be used to truly factory restore your phone. If you had a custom rom installed, this would put you back to stock.
You use Motorola's RSD Lite program to flash to your phone while it is in AP Fastboot mode.
This will work on locked bootloaders because they are signed files from Motorola meant for flashing in this way.
EDIT: As Pzyduck says above, these are official firmware not leaks

Don't flash AT&T on Bell or vice versa, you may get trapped because of secure versions.
(btw. I know, it's codenamed qinara, and not dinara, but meh, too lazy to fix it )

If you look inside the files themselves Motorola was too lazy to fix it too! They use both throughout lol.

On 2 accounts we wouldn't be able to do this.
1) The phone will only take signed images for system in AP Fastboot. There are sig checks on flashing and on boot (we can assume this, we can test more obviously since we have FXZ backups).
I didn't want to test flashing a rooted system dd'd out before because we had no FXZ's to test. Now that we have them it might be worth it to try it out. Worst case use these FXZ.
Rooted system.img: you can get the entire partitions here which includes it: http://crackflasher.com/dev/mattlgroff/MB886.ATT.en.US/AtrixHdPartitions.zip
Be extra careful flashing things you do not have backups for...
2) The system.img.ext4 file inside of these are not only compressed, but appear to be encrypted as well.

I need to know because like an idiot I tried to flash back to 4.0.4 from 4.1.1 and now it fastboots on every reboot. Super annoying. Anyway I need to flash to 4.1.1 to fix this apparently.

I'm grabbing this for my friend, he can't get the update because he needs Wi-Fi and the phone won't connect to our University's Wi-Fi network. This won't break OTA for him though will it?

It's just as same as if you have applied OTA.

If you got 4.0.3 we need a copy of your OS before you upgrade. 4.0.3 has vulnerabilities that we need to get root. Sorry I don't know the procedure, but I am sure some dev will be more than willing to tell you.

Just saw this and need to let you know not to do any soft of fastboot or updating without backing up your files. The worry is you flash a retail bootloader and possibly cannot go back if you use these.

yeah, that's why i'm holding out... battery life sucks on the 4.0.3. it barely gets me 8-9 hours with moderate use. i've noticed there are huge drops in the battery level every now and then. i guess i'll just deal with it until we get the root thing sorted out.

is there a way to just mount the system.img.ext4? i've tried ext2explore and i've tried to mount it with Linux Reader. thanks

[ROM] STOCK ROM for General Mobile 4G BUILD LUZ59K

Helle guys, i have succesfully dumped the stock rom from General Mobile 4G and now it is ready to flash via fastboot.
To install the Stock ROM you need;
-to have fastboot installed on your PC
-get your phone to bootloader
after those you only need to run flash-all.bat from the zip.
Happy flashing!:highfive:
Download;
STOCK_LUZ59K.rar

Which partitions does your Rom-Dump include? (Too large, don't want to download now, because I'm on 3G atm.)
How did you dump the Rom, with "dd"?
EDIT: absolutely no chance to mount or extract "system.img"....?

Model ??
Hello bros

System.img was compressed, you have to decompress it before it can be mounted. This tools will do the job simg2img or ExtUnpacker.

is this very stock and stable version? Cuz this phone is not mine. And ofcourse my mother prefers stability to speed

Can this version gained the new update and be updated as the official ones ?
Or
What ?

I have the Philippine Cherry Mobile One G1, which has same specs as General Mobile (Snapdragon 410, 16GB Rom, etc.) can I update with this? my build is LUZ59J

You probably can But before doing it i suggest you to backup required partitions in case of a failure

While it might work, I wouldn't recommend you do it unless you know what you're doing.
- The differences between LUZ59J and LUZ59K is probably minimal and might not be worth the risk
- You will likely not be able to receive OTAs if you install a build that is not available from Google on your device
- If installing LUZ59K didn't go well and you didn't make a proper backup of LUZ59J, then you might have trouble making your phone work again until someone shares a proper backup.

Updated via OTA to LUZ59M, it fixed stagefright and certifi-gate vulnerabilities!
I am sticking with stock with this phone, it is my daily driver!
Thanks!

Does it work on dual sim device?

Sadronis said:
Helle guys, i have succesfully dumped the stock rom from General Mobile 4G and now it is ready to flash via fastboot.
To install the Stock ROM you need;
-to have fastboot installed on your PC
-get your phone to bootloader
after those you only need to run flash-all.bat from the zip.
Happy flashing!:highfive:
Download;
STOCK_LUZ59K.rar

I noticed a link for the General Mobile 4G Dual on a Turkish forum but I'm not able to pass the CAPTCHA to register. @Sadronis , can you help to mirror it?

there is no way to flash these parts if u dont unlock the bootloader..

@Sadronis I use Windows xp and ubuntu 15.10 dual boot. Both installed adb and fastboot drivers. I unlocked oem lock and enabled USB debugging
When I enter "adb devices" command in terminal/cmd it lists my device but it don't when I'm on bootloader for both. How can I correct this? .bat file can't be flashed because of this

fastboot and sideload need additional drivers.
If you have the correct drivers installed, in bootloader mode than try "fastboot devices":
Code:
C:\Users\xxx>fastboot devices
c73a281e fastboot

dual sim or single ?

[XT1789-05] Stock OREO Firmware (retbr)

Hey dudes,
since no one ever did this, I uploaded all Oreo Stock (retbr) for or beloved XT1789-05 released so far.
Here are the link:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/emeuwiyaxpqqu56/AABKMNnrmMOwR5S0pBH2d7lWa?dl=0
The folder also contains RSD-lite for Mac and Linux users.
Enjoy.
if you are a Linux or Mac user and don't know how to use RSD, *I'll show you how to do with simple steps.
here we go:
1- Unzip the RSD-lite folder on your desktop;
2- Unzip the firmware zip and copy all files to the RSD folder on your desktop;
3- Open your terminal and go to the RSD-lite folder and connect your cellphone on USB with USB DEBUBBING ON;
4- Type this commands and hit ENTER after every line:
adb reboot bootloader
if you are on Linux;
bash rsd-flash.sh flashfile.xml
if you are on Mac:
./rsd-flash.sh flashfile.xml
press enter to start the flash from terminal
5- Watch for any errors. If no errors at the end of the script then press enter to reboot the device.
Many thanks to @Liboicl for the Linix script and @rootjunky for Mac script.

I'll keep adding the firmware on this folder as soon they pop up .

Does it flash to both slots? If not, this won't prepare the -05 model for AOSP ROMs. The T-Mobile flash all and Sprint ones flash to both slots via .sh or .bat files

So if you do "fastboot --set-active=_b" it will boot to system just fine?

That's what I got
Perhaps it's because I have patched boot image in system B
But if that helped...

That happened because the bootloader noticed slot B doesn't have Oreo firmware on it. I'll make a .sh and .bat for you in a couple of days for AOSP from the files in that zip. It will be firmware only, no system or OEM images as it will be for AOSP prep more than back to stock.

Let me ask you, do you know if this particular model is eu version or America version? I'm trying install twrp ....

Installing twrp shouldn't matter the model. Just boot to twrp and flash the zip, it will edit your current boot image and not mess with any special properties like radio stuff that differ from model to model.

Thanks for the link. I already know it but it doesn't work. I tried again and appear the message: access denied.
If you can download it and share it could be great.

I wouldn't go as far as beloved
For me, this is actually the worst Moto phone I've ever owned (and I've owned 4 of them), specially by the price I paid for it... the phone doesn't worth not even half the price.
In fact, this is my last Moto ever, I'm done with Moto/Lenovo or any other Chinese crap for that matter.

I don't mean to push you or anything, I'm just curious if you were able to make the .bat/.sh file for this version (retbr)?

My bat file in my thread will only work with official releases from the Motorola Firmware Team (MFT). I.E. with the official firmware and my .bat you will be able to take OTAs again. I cannot guarantee any other zips.
