Hello guys,
I hope you get not bored by these every day "I bricked my milestone" threads, but I do really need and would appreciate your help. So here is what's going on:
After Motorola delays the official 2.2 ROM again I decides to try CM6. I asked a friend, who has flashed his Milestone before, for an instruction and he gave me one.
I had an Milestone from O2 Germany with latest 2.36 update. First I made the recovery vulnerable. I downgraded to 2.34 and flashed the vulnerable-recovery only (of course the one for my 90.78 bootloader). I checked if the system was working right after every flash via RSD, and the phone bootet properly anytime. I applied the Androidiani update.zip and entered the OR. I wiped and applied the CM update via OR.
After I applied the CM update, the OR told me to reboot and so I did. I saw the Motorola logo and then the bootloader came up with an error message (Err:A5,70,39,00,27). I wanted to restore via Nandroid, but I no longer could enter the recovery (not to mention the OR). So I asked my friend again what to do and he told me to flash vulnerable recovery again via RSD (yes, I could enter bootloader mode) to be able to enter recovery again. After I flashed I could enter the recovery, but some new mad behavior appeared. The bootloader error disappeared, but every time I tried to boot, the phone ended up in boot loops (Motorola logo --> reboot --> Motorola logo --> reboot -->...).
Then I tried to restore via Nandroid. This seemed to work well, but after a reboot I got this bootloader error again.
To conclude:
flashing via RSD --> boot loops (recovery and bootloader work)
flashing via OR --> bootloader error (only bootloader works)
Some guy from android-hilfe.de told me to flash the bootloader, but I know this is very dangerous. So I went to the #milestone-modding irc-channel and asked for help. They gave me the advice to try to flash other sbf's, maybe an old 2.0. As I tried this today I got a new problem: the sbf file won't work. When I press 'start' in RSD everything starts as usual. But when the phone should show the message "sw update in progress" nothing happens and RSD get stuck on 0%. At the and I get the following message:
'ERROR: Flash failure: Phone[0000]: Error erasing subscriber unit. Device API Error: 0xE003003F Command: ERASE (Error Code: e003003f)'
So I did not proceed. Anybody a suggestion what to do? I'm really helpless.
Greetings Luke
PS: the forum search lead me to this thread. The problem sounds pretty similar.
Try flashing a 2.1 sbf. Let me know what happens. Please use RSDlite v4.6 or higher

Good advice. Latest rsd and drivers. Try a different machine...rsd is moody. Try the GOT sbf, it includes the vuln recovery. I have had problems with Win7 that got solved with a different machine with xp.
If all of this does not work, we need to try fastboot. But try the rest first...

Hey, thanks for your replie
I did this 3 hours ago. I used the full sbf for the 2.36 update for the German o2 Milestone. I also tried DACH and other versions before.
The result is always, that I end up getting boot loops like described above. RSDLite tells me the file is successfully flashed and unlike a 2.0 sbf the Milestone shows the message "sw update in progress".
I'm using RSDLite 4.9.

You mean a GOT 2.1 or the 2.2 sbf?
Unfortunately I have no machine running XP at the moment. But I have a virtual XP running on my Win 7 Pro. But I guess it's no good idea to try to flash on this?!

There is no GOT 2.1
GOT is only 2.2. You can try GOT 2.2 sbf and RSD v4.6
Oh, okay =)
I thought there is a version by them.
Gonna try your advices and post the results.
Thank you so far
Wow, your problem still same me.
I was tried and solved:
_Flash with any rom you have
_Milestone will auto reboot after flash done and loop
_Don't worry about that, remove battery in 5s and re-plugin
_Turn on your milestone: hold X and POWER to access Recovery. Select Wipe and reboot

Did that before and tried it now. Didn't work for me. But thanks for your advice
I also flashed 2.2 from GOT. I was able to flash with RSD and it did not fail. But there is still the boot loop. So nothing changed.
This time I did it with my Atom-netbook and used RSD 4.6.
Ok, so I think I need to try something else. Only flashing with RSD easily doesn't work for me. Like I said in my post before: GOT 2.2 and the advice from killed did not work. Still getting boot loops.
So what would you recommend me to do?

You tried GOT 2.2.1 sbf and it didn't work? Can you access recovery? There was a suggestion of fast boot, but I don't know what that is (just in case you wanted to google it or something, not sure). Do you have the drivers installed for your computer?
You could try this:
milestonefail said:
for some people RSDLite doesnt work properly. One way to fix that is put the SDL.bat file (attatched as .txt, change to .bat before using) in the RSDLite installation folder, move the .sbf file you are using to the same folder, and drag that .sbf to SDL.bat.

Good luck! I am not responsible if anything happens to your device.
Yep, it didn't work. RSD said the flash passed, but I always get boot loops. I can access th recovery, but even nandroid in OR doesn't work (I get back to that bootloader error I described in my first post).
I also don't know what fastboot is, but just using google won't help me, because I don't know, what I meant to do with fastboot.
The drivers are installed. Without them I guess RSD wouldn't even recognize my phone.
I also tried the batch file you posted, but it didn't work. I wasn't able to start the flashing process. I guess, the only thing the batch file does is to start RSD with admin rights.
These are all methods I tried and they just don't work. I need something different to this usual helpful stuff. That's why I posted in this forum, because I tried everything and I'm helpless at the moment.
Thanks for your advice anyway. I hope someone has a solution soon.
fastboot most likely will do nothing for you if a nandroid backup fails. Fastboot is a way to flash individiual partitions in case your recovery or nandroid does not work.
It works like adb (command line from a conected computer) and requires nothing on the phone. But if nandroid works...it will not do anything different.
Basically, a nandroid is a collection of .img files (one per partition) that a script flashes in sequence. With fastboot, you could flash all of the .img files from computer command prompt.
I would:
1) try a different nandroid...download the latest leak (01/25 from the dev forum). It is in nandroid format. I would factory reset the phone first.
2) if this does not work, i would fastboot erase and the fastboot flash (look up the syntax) every .img in the nandroid backup. This is just in case you OR is corrupted in some way...not likely, but i am out ideas.

Hey,
thanks for your reply.
Your first recommendation would probably not work. I tried 4 different Nandroid backups and every time I get the bootloader error.
Basically I have no idea what fastboot is, where I get it from and not to mention how to get it work, so I think this is no option for me.
Right now I have resigned. Nothing seems to work. I consider getting a new phone. But before I do this I wanna ask you one last question: can flashing the bootloader theoretically effect anything? I think my phone IS bricked at the moment, so I'm not anymore afraid of flashing the bootloader. But if it would even theoretically be impossible, that this would change anything, then it's just a waste of time. So does flashing 90.78 bootloader via RSD Lite change anything?
Thank you!

Why give up without trying? I believe you should flash it to see if it changes anything...How worse than this can it get?
Please...do not take my words for granted...Inform yourself from other sources before you try this...and if you do let us know if you successfully managed to get your phone back!
You misunderstood me. I wanted to try it, but if someone would have said that it's a waste of time, then I wouldn't have done it.
So I tried it, but flashing the bootloader (90.78 --> 90.78) didn't change anything. Still getting boot loops.
What do you think. Try a downgrade to 90.73? Is a downgrade even possible?

I dont think that is possible. I've read here on the forum somewhere that downgrading the bootloader is not possible...but you should search, maybe you find that it's possible.
Anyhows, I dont think your phone is lost, I just think we're missing something!
I also think it's not possible. I've read this in some forums, too.
It seems that it isn't lost. I was happy, as I found out, that I can enter recovery and bootloader. I thought it could easily be restored. But then nothing worked for me. So we must miss something, but I have no clue what.
What do you mean by:
"Then I tried to restore via Nandroid. This seemed to work well, but after a reboot I got this bootloader error again."
Are you sure you have enough battery?
You could try restoring a nandroid from other recovery. Replace the recovery from your sd-card. If you use Androidiani 3.3 try an older version of it or another OpenRecovery.
Hello folks,
During update from Revolution HD 3.4 to 3.5 something went wrong and process stopped before it got finished. Now I ended up in bootloop, even recovery is not working. I've tried to use RUU but failed on CID verification as I'm having the phone from 3 IE. Is any chance to bring it back to life or i just got very expensive paper weight ?
Or if anyone can provide RUU for 3 IE I'm willing to pay for it.
Bad day, bad day...
Thank you for any advice.

Thanks, for hint. Got recovery working again
What I have done.
1.) Unlocked, re-locked bootloader.. (i think this did the trick, full wipe ?)
2.) Wiped cache
3.) Re-flash clockworkmod
4.) Upload ROM using sideload.
Now the phone is back. I hope i will not break something again.
Hi, I am having the same issue with my phone as of right now. I tried re-locking bootloader and then unlocking again and also reflashing clockwork and I am still getting the bootloop and cannot access recovery (flashes for 0.1 secs and then disappears).
What exactly did you do to fix the issue?

Hi Riyal,
I have fixed that issue with fastboot erase cache. Now, I am having a problem loading a ROM because it states in recovery that it "can't mount SD card"?
Figured it out, I just had to ADB push a stock rom and then re-wipe/re-flash

I had the same problem, going to try to sideload this stock de-odexed rom (didn't work the first few times) and CHILL THE PHUCK out until AOKP.
scared me lol first HTC device, brand new, and I thought I broke it.
P.S I realized that REVOHD uses AROMA, that's why it wouldn't sideload.... Am I Rite?

My HTC One device is actually suffering the same problem.
I bought my HTC One Sprint(Sim-Free Edition) in the US and got it to India.
But after I inserted my Indian Sim it said ''SIM LOCK ENABLED''.....I just got frustrated and
rooted the device and tried to install ''Android RevolutionHD (Odexed)'' Stock ROM with the help of TWRP.
But after I installed the stock rom, my device is just showing the HTC symbol and hanging there itself.
It Hangs there for around 6-7mins and reboots and the same happens again.
The only thing I can do is to get in to the bootloader and Power OFF the Device.
Any Help???? Please..... just having a costly paper weight since 2 weeks.
Please need help urgently....!!!
Hi
Greetings,
Did you flashed boot.IMG if no
Extract the boot.img from the Rom
Copy that file to abd/fastboot folder
Now connect you phone with pc with your phone booted in fastboot/bootloader,
Later flash boot.img by following command
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img"
Reboot and your done
If you do not know how to use abd search for it

The Sprint version is never going to work on any carrier other than Sprint. It's a CDMA device. The sim slot if for connecting to Sprint's LTE network, but requires a CDMA connection first and foremost to work at all.

I'm stuck on the same boat :\
I was able to finally boot into CWM recovery but I'm getting write errors all over the place.
I used the AIO Kit to re-lock the bootloader and unlock it - Reflashed CWM - Tried to sideload ARHD 10.0 but the DOS prompt errors out saying that it cannot find my device.

i was going through the same thing yesterday and i thought i had bricked my phone. what i did that finally worked, was unplugging the usb, restarting the computer, reinstalling htc drivers, then restarting the computer, then using a different usb port. i was finally able to sideload ARHD whereas before i could do fastboot commands, but it wasn't responding to the sideload, and wasn't able to mount the sdcard, so i thought i was screwed. :good:

Thanks for the tip, I was able to get back into AROMA but the original issue that got me to this point came up again. Aroma installer runs and during the install it kicks itself out and sends me back to recovery, so the installer doesn't complete. It gets to about 30% and craps out just after it writes system data and starts to install the .apk's. Screen goes black and it reboots itself and sends me to recovery.
thoughts?
I believe I overwiped my phone, it has no rom on it now, and when I plug it into the computer, it makes the noise, but will not show up in windows explorer. I am able to boot into recovery, TRWN, although I can't do anything from there because I have no rom to install. I have tried installing the latest HTC drivers, using a different cord, disabling antivirus, pretty much everything previously listed in these forums. Is there a way to use the command prompt to send a rom over to the phone? Please help.

donwload the all in one toolkit use it to erase cache then install recovery. after that either mount usb otg and copy rom to sd or sideload a rom. all in one toolkit automates everything you need to do:good::good:
I wish I could say that worked, however when I try to use the AIO toolkit, when it launces the command prompt it says 'device not found.' same problem as windows. There has to be a way to force a file on there. Any ideas? Again, I can boot to recovery but have no zip on the phone memory to flash.

if it says device not found press the power button once and try again. it will say once in fastboot close the first window if you close the first window and nothing happens then press power and it should start
if your in fastboot options should be----bootloader----reboot----reboot bootloader----power down

Have you used this command?
Code:
adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip
If yes, it will work.
Maybe sideload.zip contains rom and if sideload.zip don't have meta-inf it will not flashed

OK, so I didn't say yes to the question this time after sideloading android revolution. same thing. goes blank then reboots to bootloader menu. So I tried sideloading viperrom 1.04. This time after it finished sideloading it randomly installed instelfl, and now viperrom is installed, its booting up to the phone now finally, yet before anything can initialize, it just reboots again. It's been caught in this boot loop about ten minutes now. No end in sight. Any ideas?
ViperRom from Sprint or AT&T one forum?
Your phone is branded or no-brand?
However, boot into recovery, and use this command:
Code:
adb push name_of_rom.zip /sdcard
, then flash it
Also, I have now tried flashing and installing TrickDroid which also boots to the O/S but then after a few seconds reboots and starts all over again. I just let it run, and it boots, then reboots, over, and over, and over again. Any ideas?

I fixed it!!! I had to download the latest RUU for the HTC One. I ran the RUU after relocking, and then started the root process from scratch. RUU is the only thing that would work. Also, the best rom I have gotten to work for sprint is ViperRom, TrickDroid installed and booted but the camera wouldnt work. Thanks for the help and suggestions!

Reflash the latest TWRP and check if adb work.
Becuase without it you can't push/sideload a rom...

Hi, I'm having sort of the same problem. My phone is stuck on a bootloop, I flashed a new recovery because the previous TWRP stopped working. When I try to wipe data/factory reset, It says that it can't detect E:\ or the SD Card. I can't even mount it. Any ideas? Please help. Thanks
I went to flash a new rom and everytime i try to do the set up wizard it force closes when i hit the arrow from the language. I try to reboot into recovery but it either boots to the bootloader and i tried recovery from there and I get nothing or the device just reboots itself.
What can i do to fox this?
I will give you some advice when starting into this ROM scene. What I learned along time ago was always know how to FXZ back to factory with your phone. We have all been where you are and as long as you can get to bootloader there is a way out. So I would fxz back to stock if I were you.

I will give you some advice when starting into this ROM scene. What I learned along time ago was always know how to FXZ back to factory with your phone. We have all been where you are and as long as you can get to bootloader there is a way out. So I would fxz back to stock if I were you.

Try this:
First, unplug the USB from the phone. Now, turn the phone off.
Next, Hold the VOL DOWN button, and turn the phone back on. You should boot into bootloader mode. The screen should say "AP Fastboot Mode".
NOW, plug the USB cord into your computer. It will probably "search for drivers" and then recognize the phone.
Let us know if this helps...

OK, are you able to use fastboot commands at all? You must have flashed custom recovery at some point if you are able to "flash roms"...
There are some reports where people for whatever reason were unable to use RSD Lite, but the manual restore method worked fine for them.
Assuming that you are able to use fastboot, follow the instructions in this thread (Under MANUAL METHOD):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Also, if you need help with the manual commands, let us know what your carrier/model is.

Excellent! So you flashed all the partitions manually, and your device is working again, correct?

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone will be able to help as I've spent most of the day chasing my tail it seems.
My 'stock' (non-rooted/non-flashed) Pixel 5 went into a boot loop randomly last night.
I've restarted, I've gone into the recovery mode and have tried to flash an OTA via ADB (which may not sound like much but is an achievement for someone with my limited technical skills), it's getting to 94% and then I'm receiving an error on the cmd prompt saying 'adb: failed to read command: No error' but on the phone itself it says that is was a 'success' status 0.
I've tried the current OTA and the developer version and I'm getting the above issue on both.
I tried copying the 'zip' to a USB stick and have plugged that in using the USB A to USB C dongle that comes with the pixel but I'm receiving an error stating that it cannot be initiated.
Can anyone suggest a possible next step? I have some files that I've realised don't go to my cloud backup and they are important to me so I'd like to if possible not have to wipe the device.
Many thanks.
Are you using the latest ADB from the android SDK?
You can always try the factory image and remove the -w from the flash-all.cmd file.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to respond. Everything was downloaded yesterday so is up to date. I re-downloaded just now and checked again and am still getting the same.
(~94%) adb: failed to read command: No error on cmd
Install from ADB completed with status 0 on the phone.
Is there a simple guide on how to flash-all (for someone as not technical as me) that you can point me towards?
Have you try to flash your new firmware on the web? Go to web https://developers.google.com/android/images. Click on Flash and follow instructions.
did you try a different cable or usb port? borrow your friend's pc perhaps?

Hi, thanks for this, I'll try another sideload with the April update and attempt it from another laptop, if that still doesn't work then I'll try the flash as you suggest.

I tried a different cable and port but not another laptop. I'll try that next after trying the April update.

Hi, no not yet. I think this will be the last step before I factory reset. Will try another cable, laptop and the April OTA this evening when I have time.
Thanks.

Also a note on trying to use the web flash utility. Make sure to look at the advanced options on the installation page, it gives you an option to flash the latest update without wiping your device at all.
That could help in getting the phone running again so you can recover your important files, before deciding to do a compete wipe, if that's what you have planned.
Just look around the settings carefully before flashing and everything should go well .
The same thing happened to me, it must have been the April update, I updated my phone, everything seemed to work and then all of the sudden I was watching a video last night and the phone rebooted itself and kept being stuck in boot, it won't load the os but it keeps restarting itself.
I tried accesing recovery mode but on the bootloader screen it won't let me use the volume keys to start the phone in recovery mode or to try and hard reset it, while on the bootloader screen it resets itself... :/ I'll give google a call

That sucks. Hopefully they'll be able to do something more than just a factory reset.
I've tried sideloading the April update and that also failed at 94%. Will try another laptop in a while and see if that works, then try the flash as suggested above, if not then it's a factory reset for me.

You do not need to bootloader unlock to use official firmware. You've been trying to do an OTA update, you can try the factory images above. Use the "link" to get a download, unzip, edit the flash-all.bat file, remove the -w from the fastboot flash update line.
Code:
fastboot -w update image-redfin-rq2a.210405.005.zip
Code:
fastboot update image-redfin-rq2a.210405.005.zip

Thanks, I tried that. Edited the file and tried running the flash-all.bat file but it's giving me an error:
Setting current slot to 'b' FAILED (remote: 'Fastboot command (set_active: ) is not allowed when locked')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Am I missing a step? Should the phone be on a certain menu when running the bat file?

Is that a fact? I haven't had a bl unlock for many years now but I thought I could only do an OTA flash from fastboot with a locked bootloader. I know I can factory reset but other than that .. So if I loaded the beta 12 I could go back and flash a factory image? I would certainly flip the OEM switch first just in case.

That's a good question. I assumed it was possible otherwise why have a factory image available. The consensus seems to be mixed though.
OP: I just did an update from January to April and yes I also got the error at 94% from ADB but the phone reported status 0. Booted up no problem. Have you tried booting into safe mode? Is USB Debugging on? Can you get a logcat of the attempted boot?

Hi,
I've tried booting into safe mode by keeping the volume down button pressed but no luck.
I'm pretty sure that the USB debugging is enabled, but not 100% certain.
How would I go about getting logcat of the attempted boot?
Thanks for all the help thus far.

You'll have to factory reset in recovery. I had something similar happen yesterday morning. The reboot was done by me on the way to work though. A factory reset fixed it. Of course all user data was wiped, but Google backups did a good job of restoring almost everything I wanted restored (except for apps not on the G Play Store of course). You'll need to sign into everything again, but most things won't be lost including root.
