Thanks for the help,

I am running indeed the sbf script in a Mac box and was actually thinking that I got the right sbf - I tried another more generic one for DE - Devices today. But got essentially the same: I wonder whether I am doing the procedure the right way.

So essentially I start the script with the correct sbf and power up the phone holding camer + volume rocker, right ?

Then I get this Bootmenu - thing with my Battery stat and when I connect to the USB, it is recognized by the sbf program and its starts to verify and load the ramloader - thats the point where it suddenly stops in my case :confused:

So next, still attached I take out the battery and hold X, put it in again and in the new appearing menu I wipe. Then I do reboot - and nothing happens :confused:

I attached again my output:

Try using a Windows PC with RSDLite and the Motorola drivers, there has been a couple of people on the forum having issues with sbf_flash.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ebioman:
Quick update : Tried with Windows and this time it went at least through all the processes, but told

me essentially at the end that it failed - bummer. Next, I wanted to check whether it took the wrong sbf (Used DE Vodafone, might have to use generic ) and now (suprise ;) ) I got the message that my battery was too low.

Now, going through some threads here I saw that I cant charge it anymore - like, what the hell :eek: Who invented such a crap ?

Especially now, nobody I know except me uses such an old phone ....

What am I now supposed to do ?

Guess I have to go next time for a pure Google device as the Nexus :rolleyes:

Try this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10163846&postcount=1

It's for Moto Defy, but it read somewhere that it works with an MS2 too.

Good luck!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
There is basically two ways to "fix" your problem. One cost a bit of money, the other requires a bit of technical expertise and some handy work (and being a bit adventurous).

You can either :

- get an universal BP6x battery charger like this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Origina...137161?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4169eee149

(this one is for the Droid 2 battery, but normally it's the same)

or http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Battery-C...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item43aced36f0

(it's only to give you an idea of what to get, i don't advise any specific model/vendor, i've never needed those, nor have money in it, i just know what type of charger you need... BP6x is the model of the battery for all the DROID2/Milestone 2 phones, and from memory a few other Motorola phones like the Cliq, Defy, Droid/MS1 but not sure)

- "tweak" an usb cable to expose the electrical cables in it, and use them directly to charge the battery, but it's a bit more "McGiver style", probably more risky, and not certain to work. :D

(but yes, the whole : you need the os of the phone working to charge your battery is stupid when it should be a simple : it's plugged it charges like with any other battery, a simple electrical circuit :/).

edit : btw, for the sbf flashing, don't use one of the carrier's sbf, most of them are junk. Try sticking up to "retail" sbf, ie the ones from Motorola.

As long as you have an european phone, use UK rom (FR/DACH works too, but honestly the only difference i ever found was the default language... which is easy to change).

If the flash process fail, it's probably not the right sbf you are using for some reason.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] ebioman:
Thanks for all the help! Sorry that I got a little bit upset last time - my wife is one week before labour and you can guess that she is not all too happy, that I bircked my phone ;)

I am just trying to charge at the moment my phone McGiver style - so wish me luck! ( I wont leave it without supervision, really afraid that I will overheat, burn it)

UPDATE: I MANAGED ! Thanks Ashareth for the help. I got after 2h charging enough juice to try again and suceeded with the UK sbf - now lets try the CM10 again ;)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
Happy for you you managed to fix it. ;)

Might want to stick to a rooted official rom till you don't require to be reachable h24, because sometimes there is a radio bug on CM9/10 roms, meaning loss of signal. :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] HuckFinn:
I am hoping someone can help me. I have a Brazil Milestone 2 that has developed a problem. It constantly boot-loops when powered up. I have tried following the steps in the OP with limited success.

I have RSD Lite installed and I have used it successfully previously.

-Flashing the Brazil retail was successful (according to RSD Lite).

-Upon rebooting the phone it boot-loops continuously.

-Tried going into recovery, after pressing X the exclamation point comes up, but pressing the @ button does nothing.

I am not sure if this matters, but I have bootloader 70.13.

If anyone can lend a hand I would greatly appreciate it.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
In order to enter recovery, you must press both volume buttons, not the @
[Milestone 2 Android Development] HuckFinn:
Thanks for the quick response, I did just find that in a previous post. I am able to enter recovery. I performed both wipes factory/data and cache, even though it appears a factory/data wipe also does the cache.

I then tried rebooting through recovery with the same result, a boot loop.

I see the static M logo, then the animated logo for sometime. I can then see the animated logo restart/hiccup and it stays like this forever ( at least 30 minutes )

<EDIT>

Well call me an idiot, I tried it a second time and now it booted up. Now to try to figure out if I can install CM10 with this bootloader installed. I really do not like the Motoblur crap so I want to put something else on this and if CM10 works all the better.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:

Instead of rooting the way I suggest in the guide, use SuperOneClick
[Milestone 2 Android Development] HuckFinn:
I really appreciate all of the help. I have tried downloading SuperOneClick, but my PC recognizes it as a virus and will not let me download it. Will other rooting methods work?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
Yes, there are several ways, but SuperOneClick is the easiest... just add an exception for it, it's safe, it's just a false alarm due to the exploits used to root phones, but it won't harm your phone :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] HuckFinn:
Again thank you for all of your help. I had to use a different computer for SuperOneClick as I could not get around the anti-virus protection.

Your instructions were perfect and I got it working just fine. I had a few force closes and reboots during initial setup but it seemed to settle down. I shut the phone off and pulled the battery to swap out the microsd and now it will not bootup. I get the static M logo and then it reboots. I cannot get back into any recovery (stock by hitting X) or the custom recovery (both volume buttons). At one point I was getting the blue light, so I tried the other recovery.

I can still boot into the bootloader, so I am currently flashing the stock Brazil retail SBF. I am starting to think that there is a physical hardware issue with this phone. I have another Brazil MS2 that is still on the stock SBF which is working fine, so I might try it on that phone. I just need a working phone so I am hesitant to try it on that phone.

I know there are no guarantees with any of these custom roms, but I assume that as long as I can get into the bootloader I can always get back to stock. Does the sbf include the stock recovery?

<EDIT>

So here is where I am stuck, I successfully flashed the stock sbf, which is a service sbf opposed to a full sbf which wipes the data partition. The phone is bootlooping, but I assume I need to wipe data & cache. The problem is that after hitting X, the exclamation point comes up. I go to hit the volume buttons and the phone reboots. I was able to get into the recovery once and was mid data wipe and the phone rebooted.

To give a little history this phone came to me from a friend who had never flashed anything, it was still completely stock. It was boot looping, but I could get into the bootloader just fine. So I am really thinking this phone is just plain broken.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
The stock firmware is a service sbf indeed, but it flashes the stock recovery, so you should be able to get into recovery and do a full wipe/factory reset... it's really weird that your phone got into a bootloop just by changing the SD card... try flashing the brazil retail sbf again, then do a full wipe/factory reset, remember that on GB the recovery can be accessed by powering while pressing X and then the volume buttons, not the @, if your device can't do a proper wipe after being flashed a stock sbf, then it must have some sort of HW problem
[Milestone 2 Android Development] HuckFinn:
Well I was able to flash the factory SBF and through several attempts I was able to complete the factory data/cache wipe. But this took several attempts and the phone would randomly reboot either when trying to get into recovery or even during a wipe.

So now once I was able to complete the wipe, the phone booted up and during the initial setup it then rebooted again and is stuck back in the boot loop. Again I can get to bootloader, but not recovery.

I am pretty sure this phone is FUBAR.

Now my question is how stable is the CM10 builds on a working MS2? Like I mentioned I have another, working MS2, that I am considering flashing to be rid of MotoBlur.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Caesarivs:
I use it on a daily basis and I have no significant bugs or lags, it's pretty fast and useable
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Gogz_:
So many many months later......I pop the ORIGINAL (ie. not spare) battery in; holding down Vol Up + Vol Down and power as I do this. Lo and behold it wakes up! I've no idea what i've done but everything seems fine now.

Just something for you guys to try in future.

Looks like i've got a nice hardware keyboard backup should my Droid4 ever go bust. (Which by the way gents I thoroughly recommend should you ever want to upgrade yet retain a hardware keyboard)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Anderslash:
Hey guys!

Tried to flash CM10, it worked fine. When I rebooted in recovery to flash Gapps, the phone was bootlooping. Tried to recovery it using RSDLite and a sbf file, but I still got bootloop in M logo. Turning on the phone with X pressed leads me to the triangle screen, but nothing happens if I press vol up + vol down.

Since I cannot go to recovery mode, I can't do anything. How do I restore this phone? Any tips? Thanks!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lean946:
Press the @ key, instead of both volume buttons.

1. can you still access the moto bootloader? maybe with blackscreen, but does rsd lite recognize your phone?

2. if not, you have to send it to service

3. if yes, what was your latest rom you flashed, and what sbf did you try to flash (froyo or gb)?

Thanks for response. This happened when I flashed CyanogenMod 10.1 for Motorola Milestone 2 (Android 4.2.1). Flashing stock froyo sbf didn't work but I was able to flash stock GB rom.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
After you've flashed stock GB ROM there's no way to flash stock Froyo. With some tricks (including flashing so called Chinese kernel) it's possible to run Froyo-based ROM, like CM7, but not to totally flash generic Froyo sbf.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] zakoos:
Hi Guys,

Coming from CM10.1, I flashed a french Retail ROM (from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php).

Using RSDLite, all went smoothly.

At the end of the day, the phone is bootlooping stuck on M logo.

I'm not sure if I can access the bootloader.

Is there any solution ?

Thanks for your help everyone !
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lean946:

[Milestone 2 Android Development] K!LL3R:
I accidentially wipe everything from TWRP

Now it can only enter bootloader mode.

After I tried to flash the consumer replacer and the sbf

It still cannot boot,

what should I do?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
flash stock GB ROM -> boot it (if it doesn't boot wipe data/cache through stock recovery - while booting keep @ key pressed, after something appears on screen press both vol up and down to enter stock recovery) -> root it -> install bootstrap -> enter recovery mode -> install custom ROM from zip on sd-card
[Milestone 2 Android Development] K!LL3R:
I stucked at the very earliest stage.

The phone's screen is still completely black after I flash Stock Rom (tried different roms already)

Cant enter recovery/ boot animation/ bootloader remains black until something is being flashed.

The phone did not reboots for a few times as usual.

Not sure if I delete something vital when using TWRP

P.s. Last time I flash the PERSONAL ARGENTINA and it worked, but this time is does not.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] rabinhood:
Argentina ROMs have bootloader v4, European bl=3. You can't downgrade bootloader (it's locked on MS2). I have bl=3, but I had a situation like yours several times when I tried flash CM7 with bl=2 (black screen, backlight turned on, PC recognizes phone, and you can flash it). It was always possible to flash stock ROM. I think you should try with latest Argentina with bl v4. I never flashed these ROMs, because I didn't want to upgrade bootloader, because there are some issues with it - it's harder to root, perhaps impossible to come back to European versions and so on.

But if Argentina ROM doesn't work... I don't know, maybe try the kernel used for installing CM7 (so called Chinese GB kernel)?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] K!LL3R:
Truly thanks a lot for this!

I have tried another and it is now in boot loop but not black screen anymore.

Now I think I know how to fix it.

Thanks!

I'm new to the G Tablet so pardon for the ignorance or if this is already answered.

1. Where is the video/hardware acceleration supplied from? The ROM, or the kernel?

2. Is the video (movies) accel different from GPU accel (games)?

3. I have heard that Gingerbread doesn't work with Hardware accel on the G tablet (yet)...true?

4. I don't want to give up hardware acceleration, especially GPU acceleration for Ginger, and I also need NTFS reading to work...SO...would someone be kind enough to recommend a 2.2 ROM and kernel to give me HW accel and NTFS access?

For hardware acceleration for video, either stick with TNT Lite or Vegan. Both are very stable. TNT Lite has been getting update more as its Roebeets project while vegan hasn't seen any major updates for awhile, as gojimi's been working on vegan ginger.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenInsight:

I ran Vegan 5.1 for quite awhile before the gingerbread roms came out. I used pershoot's kernal for it, mainly so I could use droid wall. I know his also supports NTFS, but I'm sure its the same as Clemsyn's in the fact that you have to manually mount it before you can access it (Could be wrong, found it just easier to reformat my external to fat32)

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baywalk123:
I used Calkulin+Clemsyn at first. It was stable, responsive. The rom somehow automatically blocks the online ads, which is good at some sense, but not to me. When I got to youtube from the browser, I see a "404 error" in the screen which normally it's ad. I can't use the "sogoul" - chinese pinyin/handwriting keyborad as the rom only has english, spanish(not sure) languare pack. Then I try vegan 5.1.1. The rom is not as responsive compare to Calkulin. But since it does not block the ad, I don't have "404 error" on youtube or anyother other site that may has a ad on the front page(like Hulu.com). Hulu works but very laggy, but Youtube is perfect fine, not problem at all (well, didn't try the HD movie, just 360). Vegan 5.1.1 has manay language support pack, I was able to just download "sogoul" ime and installed, go to setting - keborad - select "sogoul" without apply the "move the keyborad file into system/data step". Long hold the screen, "Sogoul" shows up as part of the input method option. I am now can hand write/pinyin chinese character just like the Iphone/Ipad. Video playback is about similar, not able to play 720p file(mkv). Regular avi(size around 700mb) or rmvb is fine with rockplayer. Vegan rom gives me what I needed and I probably will stick with it even there is new stock rom comes out. I do hope the video hardware acceleration works in the future. Personally, Calkulin's rom is most stable, fast/responsive. Vegan is pretty stable, but didn't feel as solid or fast compare to Calkulin. But I like it because my needs for more language support.

Ad blocking is done by the hosts file at /etc/hosts you can easily turn the blocking off removing the ad blocking lines in there, its just a text file. Make a backup of the file before editing, the first line with "127.0.0.1 localhost" needs to remain.
