Did I just brick my Milestone!?

Current status:
My MS is now stuck in the bootloader screen and couldn't boot into the launcher...When I turn my MS on, it just show the bootloader screen below:
Bootloader
90.78
Code Corrupt
Battery OK
OK to Program
Trasnfer Mode:
USB
Before that, I've seen the Bootloader got some error (?) code too...
err:a5,69,4e,00,3d
I had rooted my MS through the app "Universal androot" (one-button-root app) for a few months. I was getting sick of android 2.1 (plus disappointed with stock 2.2) and so I wanted to try flashing ROM...
I was following the instructions in the forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983516
But apparently I might did something wrong (?)....
Anyway, does that mean I brick my milestone?? Is there anyway that I can revert this...?

maybe you have flashed a wrong verson sbf.
Try flash the official 2.0.1 sbf file using RSD.
Bootloader need to reinstall, only official sbf contain bootloader program.
if it works, flash openrecovery, update the software using openrecovery, not RSD.
goodluck.

btw, do you change your baseband after u flash the sbf? if yes, try to do nothing after flashing the roms.

So I should flash 2.0.1 sbf instead of 2.1?

No, I can do nothing. The flashing progress had never been successful.
It always say fail in RSD lite.

could you sumbit what is shown in RSD lite when it said fail to flash the phone?

RSD status:
Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]: Error erasing subscriber unit. Device API Error: 0xE0030040 Command: ERASE (0xE0132040); phone connected
RSD result:
FAIL
And Milestone:
SW Update
In progress...
It keeps on like that for 20+ mins until I unplugged the battery.

Ok so I tried flashing 90.78_2.01recovery_only.sbf (a 4.06mb file)
The first time it ever said success & pass on RSD Lite for me...
But still...I'm stuck in the bootloader screen...
Only now the bootloader shows the following...
Bootloader
90.78
err:a5,69,4e,00,3d
Battery OK
OK to Program
Trasnfer Mode:
USB

it seems you should reinstall the Moto flash driver, or maybe somthing wrong with the usb cable, make sure the computer recognize the phone completely.
if you are using win7 or win visita, make sure you run the RSD lite as administrator.
these tip may help you http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...-failed-flashing-process-0x7100-rsd-lite.html

Moto JB 4.1.2 rom - I have an EU device, is it possible to get this to work?

I'd hate to be a pain as I know newcomers don't seem to be welcome here. But it wouldn't let me post in the thread for the rom that I have a question for. It wouldn't even let me post in the relevant sub-forum. So sorry.
Anyway I have an XT890. It has an unlocked bootloader. I have a custom recovery installed. It is an EU device.
I tried to install the "Moto JB 4.1.2" rom. As we know, it doesn't work with EU devices.
My question- is it the EU OTA rom that it's incompatible with or the device itself? If I sbf a non-EU OTA rom to my phone, will that rom work?
I remembered to format /data and /system just like the installation instructions said to do, just to make sure it does indeed not work. I even formatted /cache and all the other ones. It went into a bootloop just like the description said would happen so I restored the backup that I made.
It's a shame since that looks like an awesome rom.

Can you please upload a screenshot of your system information? Just to know how can i help you

Is this what you need?
I see it says EN instead of EU. Maybe it turns out I don't know what I'm doing.

If it is showing the animation of the motorola logo but bootlooping there is a build that apparently allows you to first boot on those cases where the user comes from a weird ROM (it is still unexplained why it works, but you can try it).
OLD FILES FIle: "RazRi_JB_EU_Optimized-2013-Mar-25.bootloop_mysterious_fix.zip"
See if that boots, if that boots fine, once your done first setting it up you could go, format system only, and update to the latest, you could give it a try.
But the cleanest and safest would be to SBF the EU file, and then get the custom recovery installed and finally flash the ROM...

It was showing the Motorola boot animation when I was getting the bootloop on that rom. I tried the "mysterious_bootloop_fix" file in the link. It still made it bootloop. Note that I remembered to format /system and /data. I also formatted /cache.
Next, I will try sbf-ing to official 4.1.2, reinstalling the custom recovery and flashing the latest version of the rom.
Where can I download the 4.1.2 EU sbf file? I haven't been able to find it.

Gesendet von meinem XT890

EDIT: I figured out how to get the sbf to flash. I was using rsd lite version 5.6 which is an old version. I downloaded 6.1.4 and was able to sbf to 4.1.2. I am currently trying to install the custom rom.
Edit: Alright. I tried flashing the latest version. It caused a bootloop. I then tried flashing the "mysterious bootloop fix" one. It made a bootloop too. I used the sbf that HSD-Pilot gave me the link to.
I attached a screenshot of my system info.
Any ideas? I'm REALLY close to getting it...
............\/ Disregard all that \/
OK so now I have a noob question. In the the sbf tutorial thread, it says:
- download fastboot file you need from here or here
- extract it in a folder, you have a XML file here
- run RSD lite
- browse XML file to the empty box
- connect the phone to the pc via usb cable in AP Fastboot mode
- click start button on RSD & be patient to flash the files

Is it saying to extract the content of the file "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml.zip" that I downloaded? When I do this, I get a folder called "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml". This is not an actual xml file like it said. If I try to select the folder in RSD Lite, it opens the folder. There are several files in that folder as well as a file called "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml". This file is a selectable xml file and not a folder but it's like 2kb.
Do I open the ~550MB zip file that I downloaded or the 2kb xml file with RSD Lite? Or does this just not work correctly with WinZip?
Edit: While I'm asking noob questions, should I format /system and /data before sbf-ing or does it not matter?
Another edit: I tried flashing the xml file in the extracted folder. It didn't work and under that status on RDS Lite it said "Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Unknown fastboot command. (oem); Phone connected"
Selecting the zipped file will result in the same thing after it gets extracted. I also didn't have to restore a backup after the failed flashing. It just boots back up like nothing happened.
Here's what it says in the "File Properties" box:
Filename: CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml

Yet another edit: Will I get bricked if I just flash an OTA update via cwm? It doesn't work on the stock recovery.

[Q] Firmware Dump.

Anyone have an official HTC first/Myst firmware they are willing to post. I recently lost my system image and need another rom file to get it back working.

i dont have a rom file but i have a twrp recovery?
its somewhere around here on the forums and if you need it just click the link and ill let you download it.
its pretty much stock rom with some mods (4.1.2 clock and bloatware missing).

Right I saw that and its a .win file. I'll just try downloading it and sending it to my phone.
Edit: Hmm. After I tried pushing it to the phone, the file failed to install. The prompt reads something like "Checking for MD5 file" "No MD5 file found" and "Zip signature verification failed"

Alright, so I tried something else. After I couldnt download the files that you sent I tried to install another rom made for the HTC First. It's called the JmzJBSenseMyst_v3. All seemed to go well, everything was installed and I went through the install process very easily. But, the phone is now stuck in boot-loop. As in, I cant get into my system because it only loads into TWRP.

You can use RUU to restore stock firmware. And relock bootloader to solve boot-loop state.

I've tried the RUU... any more tips?

My First has been stuck for months. I've tried everything.
It's not visible to ADB or Fastboot or the RUU prog.
Please someone, anyone, PLEAAAASE help.

restore to stock rom
relock bootloader,install stock recovery and run RUU
Edit:
no need to flash stock recovery,just revert to stock RUU

[Q] Rooted/Unlocked but can't update to 4.2 to 4.3! [XT1058]

Ok guys, so here's what's happening with my Device XT1058. I literally can't install it!
When I try to return to stock and put the first one code that says "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin", it says:
<bootloader> variable not supported!
error: cannot load 'gpt.bin'.
2- When I try to do it by the RSDLite trying to load the 4.2 stock in there is says: "Error check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing"
I really don't know what's going on. Ive seen a video with the same model/device as mine and it went perfectly the ROOT/UNLOCKING BOOTLOADER. I did everything as it says on the video but it comes to update the android, I just cant proceed it.
My firmware operator is: Oi. From Brazil.
--
When I try to put the 4.4.3 in the Internal Storage:
1- Trying to install it from "System Updates" just doesn't work. Pops up the same old image as always "Your system is up to date, option: OK"
Then I try to do it manually by going to the Internal Storage in the phone, the zip file appears but I can't click on it.
Can someone help me to fix this problem ? Thanks!
OBS: I DID Install the BOOTLOADER and ROOT my phone perfectly as long as I can use it as a developer. But can't install either 4.2/4.3 rom in any ways I did as I explained it on the top.

You appear to be going about this wrong. You don't put the SBF files on the phone itself...you put them on your PC, in the same folder that fastboot and mfastboot are located.
The error you are receiving "error: cannot load gpt.bin" indicated that the file you are trying to flash is NOT in the same folder as fastboot/mfastboot.
Additionally, there is no "4.2" or "4.3" for the Moto X. There is 4.2.2, 4.4, 4.4.2, and now 4.4.3 (which may or may not have been released for your carrier yet).
Can you explain exactly what you are doing? Where did you get the SBF file to flash back to stock? Did you extract the archive? And make sure you are using the correct firmware for YOUR carrier. We don't like to support people who try to flash other carrier's ROMS to their phone. This can cause issues.

Need stock rom

I flashed 5.0 ages ago since I live in NZ and I heard that I can get the official version now so I need to return to stock somehow so I can install the latest update, so does anyone have a stock rom or a method to return to stock and still be able to receive the updates

See any response by the forum member "reefuge" - his signature contains a stock ROM link.
For example, in my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/help/xt1068-ota-lollipop-update-failing-t3035150

try to flash the rom via fastboot, using the commands on 4.2 on this thread
You need a XML zip of the rom , to have the XML zip of yours rom search in here and download the file regards yours model and OS version that you wanna...
download is very slow, here a mirror but the mirror is incomplete.
download, unzip, to the some folder of mfastboot and give the commands a try, while the phone is conected via USB to the PC in the bootloader screen, you must have motorola driver update, to know if you have the drivers, just plug the phone on normal on mode, and see if you can copy and past files to the phone...
If you follow this procedure you will erase everything on the phone, so do a backup...
To receved a OTA update, you will need to have everything on stock so no root no custom recovery, the bootloader state don't matter. :fingers-crossed: :good:
