[Q] Serious major problems with my Milestone

My milestone(Telus; BL 90.74) is pretty much bricked. I tried to do this, but like with everything else I do modding wise I failed horribly. It got to the point to where whenever I tried turning on my phone, it would stay frozen on the M logo. I've wasted my entire day searching from blogs to forums to videos trying to fix this but nothing worked. And now my phone won't even turn on unless I access the bootloader menu.
I know I have to reflash the sbf file, but the thing is my computer no longer detects my phone since the disaster. I'm really frustrated and stressed because of this. I thought doing a factory reset would do something but now all of my data on the phone is gone for nothing.
Can anyone please help? I know there's like 7 threads on this, but none of them help even if I follow the instructions step by step.

have made a backup? to open recovery?

No, I haven't made a backup yet. I haven't accessed openrecovery either, the guide gave me a headache.

I could try that by putting an official update.zip so the boot loader will accept. Problem is there isn't any updates further to what I have and froyo womn't come anytime soon unless you were referring to something else.

Let me try this. I'm going to bed for now, Ill post results tomorrow.

You can try installing your usb drivers again and try.Since you did not get any error in the bootloader mode, it could be problems with your usb drivers.
Uninstall the usb drivers and reinstall them again. Then try.
BTW, which version of rsdlite are you using?

Helo
Maybe tray this:
- Download an RSD Lite (I use 4.7)
- Download an GOT firmware from: and-developers.com / sbf:milestone (bottom of site)
- Set the phone to bootloader mode
- Start RSD Lite with Administrator permissions
- Connect the phone
- Select the downloaded sbf file
- When U see phone connected click Start
Sorry for my english

Ok, I did everything you said and flashed it with A853_Telus_Firmware_SHOLS_U2_03.10.0__USASHLSMR2TLSB1B2B505F.0R_1FF.sbf. But now it still gets stuck at the moto sign
Edit: I think I might have a solution as I flashed the phone with vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf which will let me use an update.zip. The only problem is I can't access my memory card and I don't have anything that could at home.
Edit: Ok, I fixed my phone and now it has 2.2.1. Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.

[Q] Need some help getting into Emergency - mode

Hello,
I just got my new Optimus 2x in.
After 2 days using it and draining a lot of battery life installing apps and getting the phone the way I liked it.
The LG apps installed on it started to annoy me bigtime.
So i did the most respectfull thing every tweaker does, i rooted the phone.
Installed the Titanium Backup software and started deleting LG apps.
The deleting part went perfect, then my screen turned black and the only thing working was the kill andriod app software on top.
So i pulled the battery and rebooted, nothing.... the phone got stuck at the LG logo.
Did a Hard reset Volume down + the power button.
It started the installation --> google login --> setting up extra account --> and then got the error about a wizard having problems.
So i guess my rom is corrupt.
Tried updating trough the LG software - emergency and got the message "not possible anymore".
Tried updating trough KDZ firmware update tool but it can not find the phone*.
*Downloaded the original firmware from a thread located here.
Does anybody know how to get in emergency mode so i can try different things.
Or maybe other options i could consider?
If not i'd might considering sending it in for warranty.
But it boots so there must be a way to get things working again.
Thx i appreciate getting all the help and ideas.

Im sorry to hear about your problem
Hope u can fix it
But may i ask how do u root it? I try z4root but no use...

I rooted it with superoneclick.
--small update--
If i skip the setup part after my google login, i can force stop the wizard error.
But it does not go into android itself, i get the top bar but thats it.
The LG software recocgnizes my phone but says it's OK and it does not need a update.
Wait for android 2.2.3?
That might do the trick, but then i might have to wait more than 2 weeks

1.Turn the power off. If your LG Optimus 2X is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2.Hold the Home and Volume Down button
3.Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
4.Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your device
That's the only option, on this time.

Tried this.
It says S/W Upgrade
Please wait
while upgrading...
and then nothing.

Try boot your phone to android then connect it to pc and run adb shell if shell working put all apk,s from rom dump here.
You have to copy all files to /system/app.

I'll give it a try tomorrow, have to get to work in like 3 hours =)
Im done for today.

Actually, if you get the notification bar, Android is working.
Sounds like you just deleted the Launcher, did you replace it?
If not, adb install and new launcher and you'll be good to go. Although you'll want one on your system partition too!
Have a look in the "Safe to remove" apps thread.

That's it, that's the one i accidently removed.
Any idea how to put it back on the phone?
As described above your post, trough ADB shell?
Can someone post LGLauncher in this thread?

Download here LGHome

Thanks i downloaded it.
But the thing is i can't run adb it gives me the error: device not loaded.
Tried installing the google usb drivers, gives me a no can do.
Another thing i figured out is this: Installing LG PC Suite IV.
It does give me the device connected, but i can not update.
* Can sync contacts
* Can sync Favourites
* Can sync Memo's
But no update (because it's not out yet)
Isn't there a way to fool the suite there is an update but in fact it's just the old firmware and replacing it (making it a repair).

This Thread is discussing the same problem as i am, btw

Fixed!
Obtained the LGLauncher.apk and emailed it to my google account!
Got it out of the above link i posted.

as i said in the other thread you should use root explorer to copu the launcher to /system/app
if you dont it will be gone again if you ever factory reset.
And next time dont delete stuff... just freez it from titanium... Frozen apps are gone (cant be started by the system or seen in launcher) but you get them all back if you factory reset (so no risk of bricking)
OK... we dont get the few megs of free space by freezing... but that is not really an issue on this phone.

[Q] LG Optimus 4x HD gets stuck on boot animation,please help

Hi All,
Sorry if this is a duplicate but everything I have seen at least has not helped me further.
I wanted to root my phone yesterday and everything (tutorial here with o4xr) the went well till it installed busy box where the computer froze and then shut itself down and so I tried to turn restart my phone normally. Now its stuck at the bit where the LG animation is and goes no further.
Here is what I have already tried:
Rerunning the o4xr/root method again
Hard Resetting (selected and running all options available)
LG Service App (windows) -> always fails on communicating with device... works up until that and I do see the SW Ugrade splash.
My version is the EURO Open v10h or something like that.
Please help me fix... This is the first phone I havent been able to root, any suggestions?

[Q] Stuck on Motorola logo help please

Complete newb here, i haven't done any development work or even tried rooting or flashing my phone. Over the last couple of days, apps have started crashing as soon as i open them, and then yesterday i rebooted the device and it won't go past the Motorola logo. I've searched through a few threads and there isn't a simple enough answer or procedure to follow to get this working. Also most similar issues have USB debugging on etc, whereas i have no developer settings on at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated

You didn't search enough for an answer i see. But okey for the lazy i will help you, no offense
Can u access (AP)fastboot and can u boot into recovery from fastboot? Have a look at the link in my signature on how to get in fastboot and then in recovery.

Literally my first post mate, how about you cut me some slack. I spent about 4/5 hours searching last night and even took the phone apart. If there is an answer please point me in the direction of it. There are countless threads where the issue is the user has loaded their own ROM or flashed the device already or something like that, which caused the system files to become corrupted. But as i mentioned i have done nothing to the device except for a data wipe a few months back, and there doesn't seem to be any threads where this just happened out of nowhere. I have booted into fastboot, recovery and done the partition cache & data wipe and rebooted, that was my first step.

Hoho, okey, my words have offended you and I am sorry for that.
I can't simply give u an answer if you only said that it doesn't boot and u looked for something to fix it. There are many fixes for many sorts of problems. Also if I knew u have tried to wipe the cache and data I would give u a totally different answer. But u had not mentioned anything about what u had done to try to fix it.
For now, if even a data/factory reset from recovery didn't work I suggest u need to try to reflash the whole stock firmware. See in my signature the link to an index thread about the phone. U can find there the ways to reflash to your stock firmware and hopefully fix your issue.
If u need some more help to flash stock firmware, don't hesitate to ask here.

So, this is all brand new to me. I'm using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974568
The firmware is from here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13
- I chose the 4.1.2 UK Retail as i purchased the phone through Virgin Mobile (UK)
Drivers and RSD 6.1.6 are now installed so will try now
Is everything right so far?

Seems to have worked, but it seems a bit different and some apps like hangouts are unavailable now, even though i had them before. The firmware i chose was UK Retail, however i am not 100% that this is the one to use as i bought it through Virgin Mobile (UK).

Hangouts should work just fine. Strange.
But nice that all works fine now

Im having the same issue described on this thread.
My phone doesnt start, it stays at the logo screen. I've tried to recover, factory reset and nothing worked. I have access to the (AP)fastboot screen.
Later then i saw this thread, i've did everything as described at your tutorial, tried all the versions of the RSD Lite (6.1.4, 6.1.5, 6.1.6), it cant detect my phone.
I've tried in two different PCs, tons of different USB ports, running as administrator, compatibility mode...the PC tells me that the USB is connected, but the RSD Lite doesnt recognise it.
I've tried using these two options of motorola drivers:
- motohelper_2.1.40_driver_5.5.0.exe (that i found at your post)
- MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe (found another similar tutorial on the internet)
Am i missing something?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

did you boot first into Fastboot-mode before you connect to pc?
1. Install Driver + RSD Lite
2. Boot into fastboot + connect USB
3. Start RSD Lite

Yep. Thats exactly what i did.
I tried only using Windows 8.1. Is it compatible?
I will test on a win7 PC later.
UPDATE:
Worked RSD Lite on Win7, it found my phone. I belive RSD Lite doesnt work on Win 8.1 (at least on my PC and notebook).
I believe my firmware version is this one:
Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB
Can i use the Retail version without problems? (this one: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29.XT890.Brasil.en.BR Retail Brasil 532.8 MiB)
Thanks!

Finally got my phone working again!
I got it running RSD Lite 6.1.6 on Win 7 and used the same Firmware version that i had (in my case: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB), not the Retail one.
Also used the MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe that i got from Motorola website.
My phone now is up and running like charm, no apps or configs lost, everything seems perfect (and also a little bit faster). Not sure what caused my issue, did nothing but normal use.
I hope everyone with the same problem can find this easy solution and follow the right steps (and maybe avoid Win8 to do the process).
Thank you guys for all the information :good:!

Good it is solved. It can happen to anyone. Just a small coruption or miss configuration can take out the android system. Luckily this almost never happens and u were just unfortunate.

Security Error LG G4 (Bricked?) i think

i was freezing and uninstalling apps last night and must have removed something critical to the operating system. Now my phone will only load the Security Error screen with (authetication failure) in small print. i've been told that my phone isn't bricked but that i need to reflash the image. Im currently in Download mode but don't know what to do next. i have the rom image that i initially rooted the phone with. Thanks in Advance. peace

same boat ... but i don.t have the system.img in my storage

Try this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-recovering-bootloop-twrp-t3167361. Try adb pushing the image to your phone if it still recognize the connection

I tried to root my ATT LG G4 H810 running H81010I using this procedure: how-to-root-the-att-h810-lg-g4 page at androidexplained.com ... I now get a "Security Error" with "Authentication Fail #11" everytime it boots up and then shuts down. I believe I used 10g instead of 10i version (which I downloaded from the root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765 page at xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/), but now cannot seem to use any of the recovery methods because I do not know how to push the proper [system.img] file to the root directory. I can get to the "Firmware Update" screen but the hard reset function does not appear to work.
Can anyone help?

Hi, saw you helping a lot of people. Hope I can be next, lol. I'm attempting to repair a botched root attempt on H8110. Apparently, the first rooted image was not the correct one. The phone is stuck in a boot loop with "Security Error". I can get into download mode, but can no longer USB copy the correct image over. What steps can I take to get back on track? Thank you!
