[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.

This worked for me:
Uninstall the tool
Open Registry editor (Hold down Windows key + R, then type "regedit" in the box)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
SOFTWARE
WOW6432Node
LG Electronics
>>>Delete this registry folder>>>LG Flash Tool
Reinstall the software. When you first run the program, don't change any settings on the box that comes up.

Cannot find a working link for LG Flash Package, Please Help!

None of the links on acidhazardrom will allow me to downoad anything. It just returns a solid white page with This ID Doesn't Exist!.
I need to find a link for this to flash the new ICS update can anyone help?

Getting the same thing here. Looking through google search results for it as well and most of the links go into virus warehouses.

There is a download at the bottom of this post. Try it maybe.

I found a working executable from this page: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-fix-a-bricked-lg-optimus-3d.html My antivirus also detected a virus in one of the files. Be careful if you get it....
I never got the LG Flash Tool to work. I couldn't get the proper USB interface to show up from my phone. I ended up using Smart Flash Tool from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
To go into more detail about my issue, my phone was hard bricked, would only come on for a split second. I used fastboot to get it into download mode, and then Smart Flash to load ICS directly. All is well now except my IMEI number somehow got borked.
Hope this helps!

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
adb push system_image_name.img /sdcard/system_image_name.img

If all else fails, try to restore via the TOT method. Instructions can be found here

Any luck?

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?

Hey hey i'm also having an authetication error with my LG G4 on sprint. I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TO DO THO. Sorry for the caps i'm seriously freaking out because no where on my phone in the settings could i find out if it was LS991Zv4 or Zv5 or whatever i was so i used the method that seemed to work for most people and now i'm just sitting here crying because i just GOT this damn phone ;w;
i can't find a KDZ file for my phone anywhere ;w;
and the TOT file requires me to log in to the LG Flash tool? I'm so confused ;w; rooting motorola devices back in the day wasn't as troublesome as this ;w;

Download LG Flashtool zip, install LG Flashtool ( dont open the program) in the unzipped files copy paste mega.dll, copy this file to C:\LG\LGFlashTool and replace de original file... after that Run the program and you was to able to flash TOT file

Also stuck
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!

hey can someone that has a 870 active please use sp flashtool and create me a scatterfile/? i hardbricked mine . need this scatterfile to bring it back up to life. if you need more info about it just let me know. it just reads memory locations so it can map them to flash certain files back to them , need it to recover the bootloaders sections. its like a pit file for odin it just flashes without it being in download mode.

Some help would be nice uh, Hi^~^
OK mate I've get away from modding my phones from 2 years now but if you guide me throughout the process I'll give you the file you need a g870a here ~ text me or whatever you want to [email protected] English or Spanish is welcome

did you end up getting the scatterfile?

Oh I fixed it a while back. By the way our phones are almost unbrickable as long as its just software related. I mean I hardbricked it and got it from no lights sounds or even charging screen, I mean nothing so if you happen to do that it's still fixable, and I have all the files to recover it.

There's alot you can do for that if you are rooted its simple if not then you have to go back to stock firmware. Depending on what you we're on and trying to do
