Hi, i was tring to flash, but the battery went down (I forgot to charge).

But now, it says "low battery, cant program".

And even if I try to charge it, it just ignores, it tries to boot, but goes for a black screen, and stay, and dont charge.

Someone knows how to solve this?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
Are you using a wall charger??
[Milestone 2 Android Development] caioketo:
Yeah.... can u help me?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] sahilarora911:
I'm not too sure.

If you keep your phone switched off and try to charge using wall charge, does it not allow you to charge the battery??

Another way could be, to charge your battery using a universal charger or in some other MS2.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anonymous_:
One simple FACT: you can't charge your battery in bricked MS2... So DON'T FORGET to check your battery (or maybe better - to CHARGE your battery) before any flashing. Otherwise, when your battery runs out, you'll get hard times.

Your only options for now are:

- get another battery (full and charged)

- charge it in another working MS2

- charge it in universal battery charger (you have to put battery directly into it)

... better to be safe next time

THANK YOU, frikkin aye, i followed the guide and it didn't reboot at the end, was tripping out when it wouldn't get into the boot menu after pressing @ - tried it 20 times, thought i pressed just about every key I could press, but this post (after browsing all 5 pages of posts here) finally mentioned they changed it from @ to both volume buttons. That makes a big difference!!! Perhaps it should be in included in original post. Thanks again

hy,

this time i think i have totally brick my phone :

_ i cant power it on (there is only a black screen :s)

_ i have try vol+down and the photo button, but nothing appear on the screen

any Idea?

ps : i am charging again my battery with a spare usb cable
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
The black screen is bootloader mode. Connect your device to your PC with RSDLite and flash an appropriate SBF. It will boot again after. Make sure the battery is charged.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] fugitifduck:
i have tried it, but when i plug the phone, RSD doesn't detect it, there is the white charging led.

edit : i have charge the battery with an universal charger (the charge method with a spare usb didn't work), and it is unbrick now.

Is someone knowing a ROM without Motorola Blur on it?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
All the official ROMs have MotoBlur on it, as far as i know.

There is still a problem of not being able to downgrade once you upgrade to the latest GB (european kernel) (aka the latest european 2.3.4+ kernel/bootloader i think, but not sure, it's stated in one of the CM7/CM9 topics out there :D).

The sbf you "linked" is indead for the 2.2.2 version of the Deutschlang/Austria/CH (don't remember which country it is, probably Switzerland :p) you should use if i read it right...

The sbf you cannot downgrade from (for european phones) are the one with 4.1-22 numbers.

(btwn you should be able to flash any of the DACH/GB/FR/IT "stock" ROMS without problem, it's essentially the same, i think the main differences lies in the preprogrammed APN and languages (and for some, Operator Branding).

Btw, take a look at the latest work of sfc3031 on the CM9 port, he reached with the last 2 versions something more than usable (with HW acceleration mostly functionning), that works on the latest GB kernel.

(main problem is that once you go that way, no coming back, and you're stuck with the few CM7 roms working with it, like the latest MUI and one of the CM7 port specificly done for it from this forum....)

Help

Ok guys, dead ashamed here but i seemed to have bricked my phone.

Cause: I'm currently running stock 2.3.4. Went to root it last night after months of running stock to give 4.0 a try. I failed to allow install from unknown sources. The Doomlord v4 app froze - as did my phone, causing me to do a battery pull. Following this the phone sticks at the static M logo when booting.

What have I tried?

Firstly tried to get into stock recovery - (the one with the android exclamation mark - hold x and power?) no go. The phone won't boot with the x button held.

I can however get it into the bootloader mode (power + up arrow) and have tried flashing both the stock firmware 2.3.4 UK and modified stock 2.3.4. UK (CG66-CG37) but neither of these can get past that static M logo.

Lastly i have tried using adb to force a data wipe but it doesn't recognise the phones presence - not even in bootloader mode.

i imagine what i need to do is get to that little green exclamation mark bit so I can do a data wipe but I can't see a way to do it. Am i pressing the right keys for 2.3.4 UK ? Is there another method to do a data wipe? Do you guys have any other suggestions?

i relly don't want to have to get a new phone as there's no decent HW keyboards out there right now!

Thank you.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
2 things quick :

- the way to go into stock recovery changed with the 2.3.x updates... it's not power up+x then @, it's power + vol up + vol down from memory (someone correct me if i again forgot something :D)

- if you have rsd lite, even if the phone is "bricked" (one of the VERY FEW advantages of locked bootloader/kernel/recovery is that we can't hardbrick our phones, there is always, normally, a way to get them back :)), if you get the boot into recovery, you should be able to get it detected in RSD, flash it, then use root exploits (i'm partial to SuperOne click, available on shortfuse.org, but there is multiple others around, including an "universal" one for all 2.3.x motorola phones)

Honestly, once you are in recovery mode, the only things needed are a "recent" RSD Lite (4.8+.. knowing we are at 5.8 or something now), the correct sbf (available in this thread, but all are there http://sbf.system-ready.org/umts_milestone2/?C=M;O=D, check the one labeled 4.1.22 something/GB/something or close to it - too lazzy to search again sorry :)) you should be able to come back from pretty much everything.

"Hard" part is sometimes to get into recovery, pressing all the correct buttons, at the right time, all together.

Another thing is you are REQUIRED to have decent battery level on your phone to flash (it doesn't charge when bricked/in recovery mode, and flashing requires quite some juice and drain the battery fast), if you don't, either charge the battery in another phone, use another charged battery, or charge the battery in an universal charger.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Gogz_:
thanks for your reply Ashareth.

Flashing the firmware hasn't been a problem like I say, it just seems to be performing the factory reset that is the problem. What are these root exploits that you mention? Bear in mind only RSDlite recognises the phone from the computer.

Battery is not a problem as I have an external charger and 3 of the little buggers.

Thanks for the positivity though it's a little help, will try the different key combination when I get home. Can anyone confirm the keypress to access stock recovery on 2.3.4?

Worst case scenario i may have to buy a droid 4 :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
The "root exploits" are the scripts/programs used to get root. Some requires using adb, some (like SuperOneClikc) are more user friendly (it's a program with a gui doing everything in automatic).

It's roughly the first needed step for us to change roms on the MS2, but it itself it allows better control of your phone, and removing/installing apps in the /system partition for exemple, or using some applications fully like LBE privacy guard (a "firewall"/permission manager program).

For the wipes/factory reset, what can't you do ?

Get into recovery mode to get the recovery menu ? Or you do those and they don't work ?

(maybe it's something we can find a solution for)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Gogz_:
Cannot get to recovery mode at all. Tried to flash at least 3 times and all known key combinations. Same result - static M logo.

Bootloader mode I can access no problem but no matter how many times I flash the result remains the same.

Any other suggestions? If I could just do a factory wipe I could at least eliminate that possibility.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
How are you trying to get to recovery mode? If you can get to the bootloader you should be able to get to the recovery...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
Bear with me, i'm trying to explain something it took me months to get right....:/

The problem you have seems to look a lot like the "brick" problem i had.

After a few tries (who got hindered by MU shutdow, since all sbf files were on it), i managed to get it back flashing the latest sbf, then getting in with the recovery mode....

Once you are there, whatever you have on your phone, whatever rom or whatever, you should have a phone detected in RSD Lite (with a black screeen, with commandline infos on it).

Flash the latest UK/DE/FR/Whatever european sbf (from memory, i linked the site with all of them earlier, get the ones labeled 4.1.22... with GB/FR/IT/DACH/DE or else in the name).

After that, the reboot should "fail".

*Start it, using vol up/vol down, to get into recovery, make a full wipe, cache, dalvik cache wipe, and it should boot (after a time)

Then Root it (superoneclick, Motorola Gingerbread universal root script, whatever).

Install Bootstrap recovery, install it, reboot with it, then follow the CM7/9 installation tutorial.

The only "good" thing with our Motorola phones is that we CAN'T Brick them to the point we can't come back from it... the whole bootloader/recovery/whatever locked, means we can always (as long as we can charge our battery without the phone) go back to retail state.

So whatever happens, what you encounter can be solved (and yes, the entry into recovery and how to escalade into next level changed between 2.2.x roms and 2.3.X roms :().

From memory (but i'm probably wrong, since i tested everything to get there, and forgot half of it when it worker properly :(), it's :

- power/vol+/vol-

- hold vol-/camera when in recovery (exclamation mark with green android dwarh on screen)

to get it where we need it. But i'm not sure. :/ (i was trying everything at once at that point :().
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Gogz_:
Right guys thanks again for trying to help me.

I think I'm confusing the situation with the terminology here.

When i say 'recovery' I mean the screen with the green android and exclamation mark. I cannot access this screen. I have tried power + x, Power and both volume buttons, power + volume down and camera. Nothing is getting me to this screen.

When I say 'bootloader' I mean the black screen with the white text which is recognisable from RSDLite 4.9. I can get to this screen and I do it by using power and the up arrow, alternatively, the power, vol down and camera also gets me to this screen.

Have flashed with UK GB 2.1.44 etc. I think today i will try using 2.2 firmware or foreign firmware to see if i get a different response.

Is there another key combination to get to recovery? Is there a way to jump from bootloader to recovery? If I could just get to this recovery mode I think I could fix it but it's just not happening.

I think I may have done the impossible and made it toast.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
Maybe you're trying to install the wrong firmware from RSD Lite... Try installing 2.3.4 UK firmware... It's rootable and it's gingerbread kernel :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Gogz_:
It is 2.3.4 I'm afraid the 2.1.4 was a reference to the earlier point made by ashareth, should of been 4.1.2.2 my mistake.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Amir4Life:
Hi

Have had almost, the same problem as you, stuck @ moto loge and only access to bootloader, for over a year, but found out lately that my unit was a dev one ( with fasboot support ): retail sbf will flash correctly, but won't make it boot to the OS.

So to know if you have same fasboot support model:

for those models : *when you press vol + on boot you have normal bootloader screen

*when you press vol - on boot your screen will say fastboot bootloader mode.

try it

PS: see this if yours is fastboot unit : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467739
[Milestone 2 Android Development] almador:
It looks there a few pepople with same problem.

I can't enter recovery mode while ac charger is not attached to device. Anyway after

every sbf flashing I was always entering recovery and making wipe data & cache. I was trying to do this not once, but even 4

time - still boot loop.

I could enter bootloader with arrow up pressed and I could enter Bootloader Fastboot mode with volume buttons pressed.

The strange thing is that on front cover I see logo "Verizon", but seller from whom I bought the phone is sure this is

A953, not A956 (Motorola Droid 2 Global). Also bootloader 70.13 is A953 bootloader, not A956.

Under battery cover does no model number.

I've found under battery only IMEI, label CE0168 and something like that printed on sticker:

LM2E170034 SJUG5809A

20910 E17 SLG5996AA 01

In RSD lite when phone is attached I see:

IMEI/ESN/MEID: N / A

Technology: N / A

Software Version: N / A

Flex Version: N / A

Bootloader Version: v0x007013

DRM Version: N / A

AP Die ID: 17f0020f043e5a010000f01f0100

BP Die ID: 0000000000000000000000000000

AP Public ID: 80f6abbf188bacee09571520db364d3f600d889c

BP Public ID: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

If I'm starting flashing in normal Bootloader Mode (not fastboot) - everything looking fine - sw update, flashing 100%,

then it asking to power phone manually. After that - boot loop. As I said berfore wipe doesn't help.

I even tried this method:

"

- Download MotoAndroidDepacker (utility to unpack/repack SBF's)

- Choose one stock SBF (2.2 FR for example)

- Open and unpack it with the utility

- Rename CG66.smg to CG37.smg (you are going to use preinstall image as data image, both are ext3, but has different

sizes. Don't know if it's going to work).

- Use utility to open folder with unpacked images and repack it

- Put phone in bootloader mode and flash the repacked SBF (rebuilt/firmware.sbf)

"

This method also gave me bootl loop.

I've tried this SBF

Is there something I can do?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lean946:
Can you get to bootmenu at least? Did you flash the correct version for your kernel? In which ROM were you before flashing CM9? Did you wipe data?

Please provide enough info, we cannot help you if you don't.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] guilhermemz:
How can I get to the bootmenu? I tried to press the turn on key+vol down+camera and the screen shows this:

"Bootloader

I used this version "CM9-20120305-NIGHTLY-milestone2-eu.zip - ROM CM9 4.0.3 Tezet" and did wipe data and cache.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lean946:
Bootmenu is what you get to when you press volume down on the blue led, if you can get to it and then to custom recovery, try flashing this one, is more recent: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1623385

If it still doesn't work, flash an SBF from here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 copy the MD5 and paste it here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php to download it. Flash with RSDLite and start again.

Remember you cannot downgrade if you were on 2.3.6 Vivo.

CHARGE YOUR BATTERY. It's low and you can brick your phone if you flash on low battery.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] guilhermemz:
I can't enter bootmenu because the blue led doesn't show up. Is there another way to do that?

Sorry, but I don't understand the second method you described...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lean946:
First, charge your battery.

Get to stock recovery by pressing X on your keyboard while you press the power button, when you reach a warning picture, press both volume buttons, and wipe data/factory reset from there.

If it still doesn't boot, flash an SBF file like the first post says.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] guilhermemz:
Ok, I am charging the battery and I'll try to get to stock recovery later. I'll come back tomorrow with the results.

Hi

I am stuck as well and seeking for help.

I managed to get the sbf installed on the Mac in the terminal and tried to run everything according to your tutorial.

When I power up then, it responds and I get the following message in sbf;

>> waiting for phone: Connected.

>> uploading RDL03: 100.0%

-- OK

>> verifying ramloader

-- OK

>> executing ramloader

-- OK

>> waiting for phone:

But afterwards nothing happens anymore - or was I just not patient enough ?

Finally I decided to try to start it manually, which BTW was different (maybe due to European model ), it was

holding than the two Volume buttons instead of the @-sign. I deleted everything and afterwards started up -

Motorola-Screen-of-Death again (with blue light).

Any suggestions ?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
The whole @ or Vol+/- buttons to get to bootloader or recovery after bootloader depends on which version of the Motorola Rom you are on.

It changed when they updater to Android 2.3.4 i think to recall.

When you say you managed to get the "sbf installed on the mac" do you mean you used this tuto ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775913) but with a Mac (OsX i guess) instead of a linux box ?

And if it's that, it should work, it's quite long but works. Are you sure you used the right sbf ? if you have the need for the 2 vol buttons to go into bootloader, you need to use the latest sbf to flash your phone (update 4.1.22 from memory), or it won't work because after one of the update, the downgrade wasn't possible anymore, so you are stuck using the latest sbf version to flash, if you flash anything else it won't work.

But anyway, normally, whatever you do, your phone isn't lost (one of the only advantages of a locked bootloader, bricking your phone is nearly impossible, as long as you can get your hands on an universal charger for your battery), and you should manage (in time) to get it working again.

Try to make sure your battery is charged, because if the charge lvl is too low, the phone won't accept to switch to flash mode due to low battery.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] guilhermemz:
How do I know which are the right drivers?

I think that the problem is the low battery. I'm charging it and will try the RSD Lite right after.

Hoping for the best :)
