PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ help meee.
thanks

I had the same problem...
Yes, I had read all of wiki but could not find the solution for me. Then while I was reading some other posts I came across someone that said they had removed their battery and then held the hard reset sequence for over 1 minute and then replaced the battery. Since I was desperate I thought it couldn't hurt so I tried it.
Strangely enough, that was the solution!!!!
I'm now successfully upgraded!!!!

Help
Since it is showing Bootloader ...the device is alive...WHat you hv to do is download the suitable ROM say UK or Asian for yr 2s and just Flash yr device...may be that help

[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?

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.

I guess both of you wasn't unlocked. If that's the case you guys killed the Bootloader. No way to save it now.
You can't flash anything if you're not able to boot into AP.

Same Problem by me, but my Razr-i was unlocked

AW: Help!!!!!!!! My XT890 does not start up!!!
You had already updated to JB?
Even with an unlocked Bootloader you can't downgrade to ICS with RSD easily.
You have to remove the line gpt.bin & motoboot to flash an ICS Fastboot without an Brick. If you don't do that your Bootloader will be messed up and your Phone is dead.

My phone can enter fastboot
My phone can enter fastboot，“flash motoboot failed” with RSD, what can I do?I see motoboot the SBF inside. .Sorry, my English is poor
The beginning of time, the RSD can not read the phone, and then I try to use fastboot command Brush, brush into the boot file, brush system prompt bl file is too large, failed, and then I replace the computer, reinstall the system, RSD connected to the phone brushofficial SBF to the third step flash motoboot failed.I want to brush the official 4.1 GB was originally 4.0GB.How should I do it now？

What Firmware are you trying and what Firmware where you running, before you messed up?
I hope for you that you're not on your way to flash ICS over JB.

I notice that a lot of the bricks posted in these threads (and PMing me) have often less than 10 posts. This suggests people sign up here, download firmwares, flash without reading anything and BOOM. That's clearly a serious cause of a lot of this.
There appears to be different kinds of bootloader problems, I'm not totally sure if some of these are dead or repairable.

Stuck on Red M logo

Looking for a bit of help/advise RE being stuck on the Red M logo.
My battery died the other day and now when i try to boot the fone all i see is the Red M logo. I can access the fastboot menu (power button + vol dwn) but if i try any of the optons in there (recovery/factory etc) all that happens is the fone reboots to the red M logo.
Does anyone know what may have caused the problem and more importantly how i mite be able to fix it?
Thanks for any help.
*********Solved*********
Just an update to the original post to say i solved the problem thanks to Hashmutz and 5m00v3 's help.
For future reference incase anyone else lands here with the same problem what i did was followed this guide to re-flash the stock rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2176753.
which i got from the link 5m00v3 provided later on the post but for easy ref i found mine here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13
Also, i didnt need to unlock the bootloader to do this which made my life a lot easier.
!!! And I'm also told DONT DOWNGRADE FROM 4.1.2 to 4.0.4 !!! or you will brick the fone so dont do that!!
And again Massive thanks Hashmutz and 5m00v3 for all the help.

Does it happen only because you previously ran out of battery?
If yes, do you use the Motorola charger?
I'm asking this because I once had some problem charging my Razr i using a old charger (a less powerful one).
I couldn't boot and could charge the device. It only happened when battery is very low.
This is maybe your issue...
Otherwise, if you didn't unlocked your bootloader you may ask the Moto support for an advice.
You battery may be defective.

I once had this same problem while flashing a Rom and the battery died and solved it by flashing Stock Rom (Recovery) in RSD (try doing the same).

Thanks for the response guys.
The battery seems to be fine. when its powered off you can see the battery charge status and its charging fully.
With regards to using RSD to flash the stock rom. I was looking at a few threads on this and wondering if it would work but do you know if i need to unlock the boot loaded to do this? And if so can this be done if i can only access the fastboot and stock recovery menu's?

You need unlocked bootloader in order to use RSD because it will flash partitions. I believe you can only unlock bootloader in fastboot and you'll only need adb on your computer to do that (Search for a tutorial if you don't know how to).

[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.
