[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] X8 after rooting & factory reset, stuck on "desktop"

So I got myself into really funny situation I'm stuck.
I worked with xperia mini pro everything was fine.
Now I got x8 well older one... And all i did was rooted it with flashtool.
Everything was working fine from that point with root rights like root uninstaller (I just tested didn't deleted anything).
And then I made "factory reset" Deletes everything from sd card and bla bla bla well you guys know what i mean.
After that I wanted to install kernel but it's not that easy. So I first read alot and did not do that. Since it would require bootloader unlock and thats pain with 11W29.
So just after factory rest somehow I bricked my phone...
But it's interesting brick... VERY INTERESTING.
It turns on, it has flash mode. I can update it via update setup and tried to do that.
Nothing helps all I get is :
phone loading normally, then there is no menu, not sony ericsson home, not go launcher, no settings available no nothing...
To explain my problem i will upload screenshot.
And I can't flash it now since it's not bootloader unlocked.
And I can't access anything from phone.
This is what you call hard brick?

Hard brick is when You can't turn on phone, so there isn't any way to install ROM again. In Your case it's strange soft brick, cause it looks like ther isn't any launcher If You can enter into flash mode than You should reinstall stock ROM and kernel using flashtool (with version 0.2.9.1 cause it's more stable with older devices, such as x8).

Its not bricked. / You can use android commander to push recovery.

It's stock already and I tried stock launcher via updatesetup of SE,
And I think i need bootloader unlock to flash it ? or I'm wrong.
And Later on i will try with older version of flashtools
thx for answers guys.

No, unlocked bootloader allows You to install custom kernels, but some ROMs works also with stock SE kernel, so You don't have to unlock bootloader to install custom ROM or back to stock ROM

So i'm back again on same problem....
I have a Question if you wanna flash phone from flashmode u don't have to have unknown sources and debugging turned on.
Since i can't do that...
My following actions :
I will try to install fresh win7 32bit, since now i'm on 64 and on this system i was working with mini pro xperia, so maybe that may be the case...
I'll try to flash it with older version of flashtools 0.2.9.1 I guess if i remember it right (but on this windows OS It gives me : Error Flashing. aborted)
And I installed flashtools drivers and everything i'm 100% sure of that.
What I tried :
I also tried flashing it from Linux / ubuntu . same as with windows i get :
Error flashing. Aborted.
PCC gives me error when i try to repair it.
Update Service Dose everything as normal but same problem remains I don't get launcher or something just that empty desktop
And I would love you guys if you would give me few links to stock firmware of
x8 11W29 / E15i
And if you have something else to suggest please help me ;D

Hello and thanks for your reply. I tried flashing my x8 with provded ftf file and the problem still remains the same. If it is any help i can normally increase volume, access emergency calls and keyboard and other things. But the screen remains blue. And i also remember that the thing which is supposed to appear here is the language setup, if there is any way to set up main language outside android system i guess that could help.
Again thanks for your reply and your time!

[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?

Nothing like a brick to freak you out with your brand new device, luckily you got it sorted

Not hard brick, but soft brick. There is a huge difference. Just for your info.

from where can I download .kdz file and the main site is telling
ACCESS DENIED
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGP880/AAREBK/V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz
is there any other links for the .KDZ file to be download from
thank you

[Q] Totally messed up Phone

all tries i made to unlock the bootloader, install a usable rom or install a working recovery failed.
my system is totally messed up. booting to recovery results in a lge_security error and my android system process consumes 75 % of the battery power, its empty after 7 hours with display usage at 2 %.
unlocking and installing new roms would take days of trying. and all the numerous hours and several sorts of attempts i spent on it were pointless. i just want to sell this piece of s**t but without a stock firmware its not possible.
is there a method to restore the phone to stock state with a LG software tool for selling ?
if so, does it also work with the 262-000 phone which is truly the worst product i ever bought ?
please help, this is far from usable, even with my connected batterypack it just discharges slower and starts to heat like a stove.
greetings and lot of thanks for your suggestions.

Seems as if i am not allowed to call members lazy when they don't try before they post, also seems i can't say it sucks to be them when they mess up their device and give up before they try anything

Lot of Thanks again.
I was looking for someone able to gíve an reply like "yes, there is such a kind of tool" or "no, there isnt".
The KDZ flashing methods and 90% of the tools here dont work or dont restore the recovery on 262-000.
I rather sell it really cheap than spending another days of my rare sparetime, just to discover i have to reflash KDZ with my current state.
Let me guess, you dont have the 262-000 version, so easy to speak for you, probably.

In future, if you don't know what your doing, then just don't do it, if this was your first device you was to mess with, then it should either have been a spare/old phone you wouldn't mind mucking up, flash the .kdz and see what happens, if you get bootloop it means progress, if your bootloader is not unlocked and you have the error, there is already a thread on it, just do a quick search, a softbricked 4x HD is worth less then half as much as a working 4x HD, try out the toolkit, and try get an adb connection, can be achieved through bootloops sometimes!

kdz flasher works on any version. if it doesnt work for you, try another usb port, or another os, or another computer. it must work, there's nothing telling it not to work in case it's 262-000. try kdz flasher, try lgflashtool, try another firmware. it must work, unless there's a hardware fault, but there most likely isn't

I have a 262-000 and I'm running vanir 4.3 without ANY problems...
I might have to say that the fault lies on you
But you should probably check your drivers or reinstall them if flashtool doesn't work for you.
Once had a similar problem caused by bad/wrong drivers.

win 8 here. flashed my phone uncountable times with KDZ updater.

Problem with vanir 4.3 on my P880
Hi ..
I just flashed the VANIR 4.3 on my P880 ,, every thing is ok & I can make outgoing calls , BUT I CAN,T recive any .... when some one dial in my number it t,s busy ( seems like Black list enabled for all incoming ) & I tdiabled Black list & still have the problem .. !!!!! ??? any Ideas ??
I tried CM10.2 & Mokee rom & it was working nice without problems & when I got back & flashed Stock Rom it worked OK too .... so there must be a trick in VANIR which i don,t know ...
i tried to send in the official VANIR thread but i couldn't, cause i,m not allowed cause i,m not a developer .
Edited :
Plrblem solved after applying Google Apps & connected to google services ..

the guide to go back to original rom is here.
if u wanna go give it a good try to install a custom rom, do it. your problem there is the adb drivers. u havent installed the adb drivers for the phone to go to adb and unlock the bootloader. if u cant install adb drivers , the easy way is to install the android sdk x32 version ( even if u r on x64 windows ) and update it. And i will agree on the above thread. u are lazy u should do a very very good search in forum for guides to help u do whatever u want. to root - unlock bootloader - install recovery - install a custom rom is like 30 minutes in total if u follow a good guide !
edit: oh i was really late to see the thread so problem is solved?

Fully Hard Bricked Moto G xt1072 (Help) DX

So i have a Moto g xt1072 wich i got second hand.. i got it into recovery mode and eventually got it working, but it was really unstable, so i wanted to reflash the stock rom, because it looked like the current one on the phone was corrupted (i was running android 6.0) (btw i have a xt1068 as my daily driver, but i want this to work again)
So i started flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-lte/general/stock-6-0-marshmallow-europe-reteu-t3338075 <-this
but i had errors and it was failing multiple times.. so i looked up some tutorials, and most of them were unlocking the bootloader at the beginning, so i was unlocking and locking the bootloader trying to get the commands to work,
then i found a tutorial wich coppyd all of the commands at once, so i tried that.. screen went black..
Wont boot into recovery, 3sec method or 120 sec method, and connects to my pc as QHSUSB_BULK
luckily i made a picture of the recovery when i tried to flash:
http://imgur.com/8avCk3T
I think i may need to blank flash, but im not certain..
I would also like to find the firmware for this phone that wont brick it..
Can anyone help?
Need more info?
Please just ask me, i will respond immediately
i dont care what i need to do.. even if i need to hardwire (because im really good at those finicky things)
Thanks for reading XD

okay, so there are different types of hardbricks, all act the same, but one is harder to unbrick than the other, there is qh usb bulk and qhas bulk with numbers behind it, search for force unbrick lg g2,
now the problem is, it should be easy to unbrick the phone at thsi point, but im not an expert in that and have no idea what to do now xD so i posted it on xda, but no one answered me.. xD hopefully this clears it up some more

So that link to another thread in XDA forum, I think I had a similar experience. I too have the XT1072 as I live in the UK. now here on XDA you have to be careful and ask 3 4 maybe 5 times before someone listens properly. I know it is hard for the devs with so many dumb noobs asking so many dumb questions, I include myself as a noob so no worries. Anyway to get to the point that link is not referring to our phone the XT1072. You should ignore LTE in your search criteria, it will always point you towards the 2015 model and believe you me all roms in my experience area very device specific. You need to simply put Moto G 2nd gen 2014 in search criteria when it comes to searching for custom recoverys and/or stock ROMS. The Titan.IMG is always a safe bet if I remember correctly, dont take my word for it, I have been known to have a memory like a sieve now and again, the problem with getting older, cache gets smaller and smaller, lol! Best of luck!

Read the beginning on this article: http://rootmyandroid.org/how-to-unbrick-your-android-device-the-ultimate-guide.html/
the bricked term is a common misconception for phones that still turn on..
