What is not working? Did you follow the instructions that are stickied in the dev section (how to install custom recovery, roms, etc)

yes mate i did followed instruction properly
when i flashed vulerable recovery.sbf using rsd lite the process was successful but when i tried to go to recovery mode the custome recovery didint ran and i was having the normal recovery mode..i think that the sbf file i flashed was not the one i need?? plz help mate i have trashed my milestone even further need to install custom mod like anything
It happened with me too. You do this-go to androinani (might be spelled wrong) page on xda developers, its in motorola milestone android development and then download open recovery from there. Then connect phone to your pc and first extract files from the .zip you just downloaded and then put them in your sdcard. Then boot into normal recovery and press apply update.zip.
See if this works. I had the same problem but now I don't have it.
Note that you download open recovery from the website given on the androidaini page only and then try.
If you have any further problems PM me.

backup
Can you get into safestrap or bootstrap and did you make a back up? If so you are in luck.
Have you tried the quick unbricking script in lieu of RSD Lite?
www.bit.ly/D3UnBrick
Just download the 450ish MB .zip and unzip it to your desktop, connect with the stock USB cable, boot into AP Fastboot, then double click the "CLICK HERE etc." batch file.
What are you using for a bootstrap? The droid 3 bootstrap or safestrap? What were you on prior to flashing, and what did you attempt to flash? What were your steps EXACTLY?

Good call here. I only jumped to quick SBF/FXZ because he had tried RSD already.
**Side note** When RSD failed for me a few times previously, I put my nuts on the chopping block and just closed it out and restarted RSD to run it again, against all warnings.
Welcome to EternityProject's Droid 4 RSD Flash Alternative Thread!
What do we have here?
This is an alternative to the RSD Flash, for those who not want to install and use RSD Lite, or for who've got problems with it.
Details:
RSD Lite is using XML files for interpreting what file it has to flash and passing the commands to FastBoot. We're going to flash this manually, without passing from RSD.
How-To:
1. Copy the FastBoot package into the ROM you've extracted
2. Boot in AP FastBoot Mode
3. Connect your Droid 4 to the PC
4. Execute "FlashME.bat" (Windows) or "FlashNIX.sh" (Linux)
5. Enjoy!

I tried using RSDLite and I was still stuck in a bootloop... then I decided to try this method since the other one didn't go anywhere... it just gets stuck in recovery without doing anything.
after flashing the fxz you may need to go into stock recovery (power down then power back on and hold both volume buttons and power on) and wipe data and cache, then reboot.
that should fix the issue.

I can get it to go into recovery.... but no text comes up... all you see is the android with a big ! in a triangle over head and it just stays that way.
Nevermind... got it. Thanks a lot.

OK here's the deal, I have my phones boot loader unlocked and its rooted, now I want to install cwm, on all my previous devices I did this through ROM manager but atm our device is not supported there. However I saw a guy on here (can't remember his name) use a twrp recovery from the photon q on our device, can I do the same with cwm in ROM manager? Or are there compatibility issues?

They used the photon for cwm. Don't do that though. Use our official one located in the development section.

Do this but replace the cwm.img in "*\Myth Tools\tools" folder with the one from this thread or just use the one from that thread up front, no need to hassle with replacing files or anything. Go to the thread I linked, download the file, boot your phone into fastboot and run the command from the thread inside the folder the cwm.img is in.

Thanks^ I completely forgot to include that :highfive:
I'm going to jump on this thread too.
I'm having issues, I can seem to get CWM to install. I have rooted/unlocked. I replaced the cwm with the newer one. I used the myth tool to reboot into Fastboot, while on the unlocked screen, I ran the recovery on the tool. The phone restarted, but I figure out how to get to cwm recovery, or if it even worked.

adb reboot recovery or hold down volume up and power button when turning the phone on or hold down volume up, volume down and power button when powering on then in the boot options screen use volume down to move highlight and volume up to select.

Thanks for your help, it much appreciated. However, I think I'll have to bow out now. This stuff is over my head. I was really hoping to get PA on my phone, but I'll just have to settle for TasKarou launcher for pie controls. Thanks for everybody's help.

Don't give up just yet. It's worth it to get custom ROMs on your phone.
Do a search around the forums here and you'll find a custom build of a CWM based recovery by mattlgroff made for this phone. Flash that to recovery with fastboot and you should then be able to flash custom ROMs without fear of screwing up your phone.
You may also want to flash a stock firmware with RSD-Lite. (not the recovery!)
Some users have had issues with GPS not working until after you flash stock and then go to a custom ROM after getting a GPS fix on stock. I don't know if that is still necessary or not, but it's something to keep in mind.

Just download the recovery file and boot you phone into boot loader, connect phone to PC... In cmd, type "fastboot flash recovery recover_name.img" without quotes and recovery_name being the name of your recovery file..

We Have Rooted And Unlocked MB886.
Want To Install Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 But
Can Not Find Custom Recovery... Neither Twrp Nor Cwm Has It......And I read That Safestrap Is Only Good For Locked Devices....Is That True?

Also Gapps For 10.1.3 Cyanogen is Version 20130812 Correct?

The original post (first post) of the thread SVLAN posted contains the download. Flash the .IMG in fastboot and voila.
Edit: Realized that thread has a flashable zip. You need a .img to flash to your recovery partition THEN you can flash the zip in SVLAN's thread to upgrade to CWM touch (recommended).
Flash the .IMG found here first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41908134
Make sure you unlocked your bootloader first! If you aren't unlocked, search for Myth Tools. It has a bootloader unlock and its a program made for our devices only.

You could the myth tools to flash cwm and then user cwm to flash touch recovery.
Do we have to change recovery file
On the mythtool page of xda..it says...in red color warning that
For the option of installing CWM: plz rename the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak before installing. Sr all users who got trouble with this. I forgot this step =.= Will add in next version.
For the latest vesion 1.2 do we have to do that?
I am making sure..
also...I am still waiting for reliable answer on which .img file to use with fastboot command...
the one named cwm.img found on on this thread started by mattlgroff

Or I should use recovery.img file posted on

Run myth tools, connect phone, choose option to unlock bootloader (motopocalypse). Voila. Unlocked.
Then download and flash the CWM img I attached (By Mattlgroff)
