Hi,
I managed to brick my Milestone, terminally I'm afraid, but the symptoms are different than what I see around the forum so they might interest someone else.
So, I first backed up everything with GOT Nandroid and Titanium Backup then modded CyanogenMod 7 RC4 0.08-11.04.05 (Android 2.3.3) successfully, except that the SIM was locked and would not unlock, although it works in another phone. This was a bug supposedly fixed in version 6 of Cyanogen...
Browsing the forums, the only thing that made a bit of sense was that maybe the GSM frequency was set to the wrong value. There is a Nandroid mod (but not GOT) that allows you to change that so I entered GOT Nandroid again. Since it had no such option, I Rebooted. Then, the fun begun.
The phone got stuck on the Motorola logo and no button, not even Power, worked anymore. After waiting for many minutes with no progress, I took out the battery - that made a change , the phone shut down. I then put it back - the phone immediatelly, no, instantly, cause there's no delay as when you were powering it up, lights up with the same Motorola logo. Tried several times, always the same behavior.
I left it booting (but also connected to the charger) for a whole night, no change.
The phone is not seen by the PC when connected to USB. It won't reboot, normally or to recovery. Buttons won't work at all. Yeah, tried with or without the SIM and the sdcard, no change. Tried to start without battery, just the charger, doesn't work.
Useless to say, I am getting bored of that Motorola logo
I suspect that the bootloader in the internal memory got corrupted. Can this be flashed even if the device is not seen by the PC (I mean by the RDSLite installed on it)?
Cheers
When the charger is connected to the phone try at the same timeull out and pull in the battery while holding the buttons who will get you in the OR
Yup, it worked. So first I got the battery with a question mark. Then I put in the battery and I got a battery at 60%. Since I was holding Power+Camera, it continued to the Recovery mode and now I have a working Milestone with Cyanogen mod!!
Thank you a lot, Mikicishte.
I still have to see about the initial locked SIM problem... but that will be mostly fun.

Have you tried to factory reset the Milestone, to see if after that the SIM is accessible again ?
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14099-sim-card-not-detected-after-factory-reset/
You could try also to install a logger application catlog for example (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nolanlawson.logcat&feature=search_result ) to see in the logs if you can find out more details to help you with the investigations...
I did the factory reset as part of installing the mod.
Even if the post quoted reports the wipe as the source of the problem and not as a solution, I just wiped again with no good result.
Will try catlog.

A little different brick of my Moto G 2nd gen(XT-1068).plz help
Hi ,
Please dont ignore my mail just bcoz its too long. I have been following this thread from four to five days. Will you please help me ? Just have a look at my problem. I have been rooting my android phones and have good experience of testing , rooting the handsets. Recently I flashed my Moto G ( xt-1068 ) with lolipop because i was not able to wait till motorolla release it.
I tested it for few days , and successfully downgraded back to 4.4.4 kitkat. It was all fine. I love MIUI so I started my work to port MIUI over our favourite Moto G . I even ported it and was not booting. So I edited updter-script and was trying to flash it back on my xt-1068.
Now the mistake that happened was , due to some error in the script , It aborted the installation. When i checked the log from CWM , It has crossed partitioning and it aborted while extracting the directorties. By mistake I restarted the phone and since the partitions were flashed and there was nothing to execute , my phone is stuck. Its not even starting . Its getting recognised as "qhsusb_bulk". Thts why i came over this thread and tried to follow the procedure you have mensioned.
I am also getting the same error like while flaashing with blank-flash : FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:invalid HDLC frame) and FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:error sending packet) .
So do i have the same problem that happened with theses guys who tried to downgrade their handsets from Lolipop to kitkat ? If its so , should I also wait for Lolipop release by moto ? or will i have some other problem ? Do you have any solution ? I was really wanted to make MIUI available for our Moto G . I don't feel sad for bricking of m phone but what ifeel sad is I want it back. I can't pass my day without it. i am missing it. Please can you suggest me wht should I do ?
Thanks in advance.

firmwares
do someone has the moto g 2gen firmwares on extention .tar.gz i need them to fix my phone
Help!!
Hi people.
Well, only 2 weeks ago I got my Moto G XT1063 and I unlocked bootloader to install Soak Test of Android 5.0.2 with RetailUSA firmware. (My device's original firmware, was for Claro Colombia).
It worked well, I got it running perfect. Yesterday I saw that official/final version of 5.0.2 was available for my device with RetailUSA firmware, but I needed to do a downgrade to KitKat first, because it wouldn't work if I was in Soak Test yet.
So I made the downgrade, and it was running well, I checked for updates, and there was no updates availables, so I decided to reboot, to see if it may make the update appear. But after turning off my device, and trying to turn it on again, just nothing happened.
Now, my device doesn't want to turn on, neither in fastboot mode. And now, I don't know what to do here. So I would be really thankful for any help provided.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
So here is what happened,
My phone was maybe 14% plugged it in left it charging and went to sleep.
Woke up with the phone alarm and started reading whatsapp messages, at this point the phone was already at 100%.
Maybe 30-40 seconds later, with the cable still plugged in the phone turned off, with no message, it just "died".
Now it wont boot, fastboot, nothing.
Tried some solutions i found on the internet like holding vol down + power button for more than 2 minutes, and nothing.
I really need some help here guys, PLEASE.
The phone was running latest TITAN PRIME ROM 1.1 dev3
Everything will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
partitions whacked out?
It seems I am unable to flash anything probably due to partitions broken. When I try to do a fastboot flash, It results in OKAY, but it has no effect on the device. I tried to flash the gpt.bin to partition, but the problem remains. Is there any way to repair the partitions? I tried to format in fastboot, I get the error "formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'". I am also unable to change format from recovery. All ideas welcome!
This issue came up after my phone went battery empty.

Same here, also due to 0% battery.
Seems these phones do not shutdown early enough before the battery voltage drops below spec. ****ty engineering.
Please, someone help us for the sake of god.
There are several people with this problem and we don't know how to fix it.
Is there any possibility, any help, anything we could test would be welcome.

Thank you so much for replying.. Could you give me instructions on how to do that? Also where can I get the system files for my phone?
Kind of dissapointed that you created a thread, asked in multiple places, and PM'd me the same question/issue. Especially considering it was 4AM eastern time when you started asking... (non of us in the USA would have been on, or well, very very few would have been on)

I know , I am sorry , i was just really freaked out .. please go ahead and delete the other thread. I apologize.
Thank you so much for your patience and help. I have tried unlocking the bootloader and flashing stock firmware (both were succesfull) but the problem still remains , it is stuck on the boot screen. (earlier at the MOTO M Logo and now at Warning Bootloader unlocked screen) . There are no service centers where I Live so I can't send it to a service center , is there any last resort methods I could try ? Once again , Sorry and Thank you.

Did you flash using RSDLite? That is the safest thing to do. Also, did you enable USB debugging and authorize your computer?
If not using RSD lite, how are you flashing back to stock?
Also, have you tried installing Motorola Device Manager and letting it repair your phone? You get into bootloader mode and then plug your phone into your computer and start MDM.

I've struggled with a similar issue on an XT1053, though mine already had an unlocked bootloader. Phone freaked out, shut down, and now crashes every time a few seconds after it gets to the blue logo., and goes into endless bootloops. Here for more detail -http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/boot-loop-puzzle-t3080565
Since I've flashed the stock images a couple of times (which seems to work, or at least shows no errors), I think it might be a hardware or battery issue. I'll try MDM, but am not especially optimistic.
Had you installed any new apps? I had been playing a new driving game on the day it crashed, though it might be coincidence.
I'm having a lot of trouble with a device and I'd like to share with you guys and try to come to a solution for it.
I have a XT1068 that got its battery depleted during the flash of a stock rom, with the stock bootloader and everything. I've been looking for information and it really looks like a bootloader brick, or so I've been thinking of it and by that the phone doesn't give not even a sign of life. The only thing that if gives is that plugging it into USB charger the led turns on for two minutes or less. When connected to the computer, device is only recognized after led turns off and being read first as QHSUSB_BULK and Qualcomm right after it.
Looking for tutorials on the Web I've found motoflasher and blankflash,
I've found out that motoflasher does the same as blankflash, but in a more intuitive way, I've found out a solution for XT1032, but I think that it works for XT1068. Problem is I think that it can't be done after the bootloader was already updated for 5.x, I can't find a qboot.exe that is compatible with 5.x bootloader. If someone also got stuck and got rid of it please help me, I'm desperate for a solution of it.
I've also got a XT1038 that works perfectly with 5.1, I'd like to know if there is a way of backing up my bootloader for use in this another device.
Thanks for everything and sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian and Portuguese is my main language.

dont think there is a fix for xt1068 ,
theres a fix for xt1032 I believe if still on kitkat boot loader
sure i seen reports that if this happens to xt1068 theres no fix except service center who replace motherboard - but please check my info is from months ago
I have a similar situation with my XT1063. I can enter on bootloader and recovery and even boot normally to system but I get Forcé Close to EVERITHING so the phone is useless. And when I try to flash another ROM vía recovery or adb or fastboot there are a error por fail. So I am not able to change my recovery, restore a backup , flash new ROM (even the stock one 5.0.2) or anything. I read also all the thing about OP's driver solución (qboot) but my pc recognice my phone by xt1063...
Sent from my Optimus 4X HD using XDA Free mobile app
i'm on the same boat. Hopping on it
the qboot thing is gen 1 on kitkat bootloader - so wont work on gen 2
the cant flash recovery / rom thing is corrupted emmc (either file system or just bad)
both still no further advance -sorry guys........
Hello,
A couple of days ago, i received a call and my phone just turned off. Since then, it just get stuck in the M powered by android logo. My phone is not rooted and nothing is modified since i acquired it.
I tried to reset the phone with a hard reset or reseting it to factory or recovery from bootloader, but it did not fix anything, so the last try i was doing was restoring the Stock ROM, following the steps in the following thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657/
The problem I have found is that I have tried 3 different roms for XT1068 4.4.4
RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-14_cid7_CFC_SVC.xml
RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-23_cid7_CFC.xml
RETAILDSDSALL_XT1068_4.4.4_KXB21.85-27_cid7_CFC_SVC.xml
but I have received the same error message from all of them: "invalid PIV signed system image"
could anybody try to help me with this issue? i think i am not too far to solve and fix the phone, but i dont know what else i can try.
Thank you very much in advance.

I think it was 6.0 but, is it relevant? I mean, I understood that the important data is the one that was in the phone from factory, in this case the 4.4.4

With OTA update to Marshmallow, your bootloader too was upgraded..therefore you can't flash the KitKat version again without risking a hard brick..so try flashing a MM build.
To restore to MM,follow this thread
