Go into recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache reflash the rom, then the gapps. Reboot. If your still getting loops, your either flashing the wrong zips, didnt wipe rigjt, or your data is corrupted. Download it again.

Oops let me add make a nandroid backup cause all your data on the phone will be deleted. Use an app like my backup or titanium back up to save your apps if you want.

When I flash a new rom I only flash one thing at a time. Ex. Nand backup ... wipe ... flash Rom ... reboot ... wipe cache/dalvik ... flash gapps ... reboot ... wipe cache/dalvik ... flash theme ... etc. I know it takes longer but for me it is worth it because if I get a problem like a boot loop I know which thing is causing it. May not be perfect, may not be right, but works well for me

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loginatnine:
Hi All

I live in Quebec and I just got myself a shiny NS. However, there is no option for a french canadian keyboard in the settings, only the azerty french keyboard. Is there an easy way to enable this language?

Thanks!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraneGuy:
I don't live in Quebec but I wouldn't mind knowing the answer to this. I've read somewhere that Slideit keyboard from the market has a French Canadian Keyboard but I really wouldn't count on it til I tried it and last time I checked you had to pay for it. The only one I've tried is from the seeARM swype keyboard from his Galaxy S JL2 Rom but how to get it to work on the Nexus S I'm not sure but it was nice to have on the SGS.

edit: I have swipe beta on the Nexus S so maybe it can be ported over....not sure how but if someone here has any ideas it very well could work. seeARM hasn't been around in quite a while but might be able to run it on the Nexus somehow.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Swype already works fine on the Nexus S. You cannot distribute Swype, it's illegal on XDA.

Check out keyboard alternatives, they most likely have what you're looking for. Alternatives such as Smart Keyboard Pro and Swiftkey.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CraneGuy:
I wasn't trying to distribute Swype, just trying to mention the only french canadian keyboard I'd seen so far....as being french canadian anyway since they are few and far between.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loginatnine:
Thanks. I am aware of the alternative keyboards available but I would have liked to stick with the stock keyboard as I find it pretty nice!

I'll report here if I find a way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m-p{3}:
Hi, I'm from Quebec too and I'll share some information that might be useful to other French-canadians Nexus S users.

First, I noticed the Nexus S doesn't have a French (Canada), which can be an issue with the News and Weather widget. I will explain how to take care of that.

Put your system language in French by going in the following menus

Settings > Language & keyboard > Select language > Français

Now you'll notice that the language is set to Français (France)

The problem now is that by having this language set, you automatically get an AZERTY keyboard.

Install the following application (Using the Barcode Scanner application from the Android Market)

Once it's installed, you'll have a new application called Paramètres régionaux. Open it up, press on the context menu button and press on Add Locale.

Put the following informations in the Add Locale popup:

Label: français (Canada)

Language: fr

Country: CA

Variant: <empty>

Now, to have a QWERTY keyboard, go in the following menus

Paramètres > Langue et clavier > Clavier Android > Langues de saisie > English (United States) (only have this keyboard checked)

Now you should have a french operating system, with a QWERTY keyboard and the News and Weather (Actualités et Météo) application that now gets Canadian-related news instead of France news.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loginatnine:
Thanks for the great post. However, I wanted an english operating system with a qwerty with french and english dictionnary/autocomplete!

I finally found a way : install CM7. With this ROM you have all the dictionnary/locale you want!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrick01:
Jackojack

Still nothing ?

Same new nexus S ( add to that a fresh scratch on the flimsiest screen I've ever touched ) but no french canadian keyboard. I'm can't stand the french OS.

But still need to type in french...

Nothing new ?

Thanks !
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
Before flashing CM7, I briefly used an app named "Gingerbread Keyboard" or something similar, that was free on Android Market and had a number of additional locales like French Canada (so QWERTY), or French QWERTZ which is used in Switzerland.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrixl:
Another option with the stock rom (with alt. recovery so as to be able to mount /system in read-write mode) is to use adb to remove LatinIME.apk from /system/data and push the one from cm7 into the same location.

To get the apk you'll need to download cm7, unzip it and find the apk there.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_raider:
My understanding is that you can use the English keyboard (qwerty) with french autocorrect. You can add additional languages in the keyboard settings and then toggle languages by swiping the spacebar. The French Canadian keyboard is just a qwerty with extended character set for accented letters. Your keyboard wont show the extended characters anyway due to the size.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashavegas:
Is there is a way to create my own CSC files where i can add sale code. I have unzipped cache.rfs from my operator (in my case it's Panama PCW) and copied all setting to "system" (include csc directory, CSCFiles.txt, CSC Version.txt and SW_Configuration.xml). Then i update SW_Configuration.xml to every other sale code file, so my question is how to put it back to cache.rfs and then back to CSC file. I would appreciate any help. The reason, that Panama Cable and wireless will never do any firmware update and just setting correct APN not always work, since there is much more in custom param to make it work, like MTU size, MMS, setting etc.

Thank you very much
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
The way i would have carried out the task is to cook a rom in the rom kitchen .

Download it and unzip it .

Change CSC and anything else .

Then use Update.Zip to rezip the file and sign it .

Then flash via CWM .

Dear all,

try to upgrade my milestone from 2.1 to 2.2 via the upgrade software from moto, the software finished without any error, but my milestone can load the system anymore, it stuck in the bootloader screen,

bootloader 90.73 battery ok, ok to program

it can detect the usb cable if I insert the usb cable, can I restore my milestone?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zeppelinrox:
first do factory reset, cross fingers, and reboot

Crossing fingers is most important.

That actually happened to me when flashing telus froyo 2.2 update.

It flashed fine but stuck on M logo so did reset by doing left shift+alt+delete, held down X and factory reset option from recovery menu.

You may have to hold down camera instead of X
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dreamer1212:
thanks for quick reply. Sorry, I never did rooting or flash rom, I don't know what is cross fingers, I trid factory reset by holding down the power button and camera button, but I still stuck in the bootloader screen. :(

Would you please point me to some useful tutorial, howto?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] zeppelinrox:
You can try to flash an sbf since you can get the bootloader.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ROBINGAZI:
First take the battery out.

then download rsdlite 4.6+

download motorola drivers

install them.

download a froyo sbf file from here---> //and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221 (put "http:" in front of the url)

put the battery in and go to the bootloder mode (in my phone bootloader 90.78 i need to hold the UP key on d-pad and the power botton together)

plug the phone to your computer.

turn on RSDlite and wait for it to show your phone as connected.

select "..." button and pick the sbf file you downloaded.

hit start and wait for it to say "pass" or something like that. DO NOT interrupt RSDlite once you have hit start.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dreamer1212:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Izobretatel:
Erovia, Thanks friend! I really appreciate!:good::good::good:

I tried flash 2C7C.sbf bootloader file , flashed well but no success - bootloop on "M" logo.

9078 bootloader didn't want to flash (phone showed error), I think because this bootloader not for CDMA version (file name BL_9078_umts_sholes_HS_Consumer_replacer.sbf). Also I found the same file on German wiki server for their phones.

After multiple attempt to flash whole ROM like "VZW_A855_FRG83G_QSC6085BP_C_01.43.01P_SW_UPDATE.sbf" and FRG83D I started to think that probable phone has died NAND flash and better disassemble it for parts. RSD showed info from this phone

AP Die ID: 0390010d177d0304000000000400

BP Die ID: 0000000000000000000000000000

AP Public ID: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

BP Public ID: 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As far as I know ID there should be something but not ffffffffffffffffffff or 00000000000000.

I gave this phone last chance and flashed "MILER_X1_00.26.1_MILER_CDMA_BP_01.07.00R_GEN_1FF_sign.sbf" and miracle happens! In a few reboots it passed M logo and completely turned On. I guess it's not original Verizon firmware, on settings it says model A854 .

Now my question is can it be activated on Verizon? (I don't know will RPL Version (11111) work for them) Or I need to flash original A855 ROM ? Or left it as is and don't torture it more?..
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Erovia:
I'd really like to help you, but I don't no much about the Droid, because I have a Milestone.

If I were you, I would torture it a bit more. It booted up, so the hardware is functional. With a little luck, it can be saved.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Izobretatel:
It was almost two months ago but whatever..

After multiple attempts to flash A855 rom I decided left it on A854 rom (MILER_X1_00.26.1_MILER_CDMA_BP_01.07.00R_GEN_1FF_sign)

All ROMs for A855 which I tried to flash

VZW_A855_FRG83D_QSC6085BP_C_01.43.01P_SW_UPDATE

VZW_A855_FRG83G_QSC6085BP_C_01.43.01P_SW_UPDATE_02

VZW_A855_FRK76_QSC6085BP_C_01.43.01P_SW_UPDATE_01

made phone non bootable.

A854 rom worked fine, only thing customer called after two day using it and said camera doesn't work. But as I never saw him again I have know idea is there was camera problem or it just doesn't work on A584 rom.

[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
thats an odd question...sort of like asking the doctor the rough date of your death. without examining you, the doctor probably won't answer because he knows:

1. each individual has a life "expectancy" of about 70 years but each individual is different

2. most people are average with little or no predisposition to health issues

3. some people are average but might have a genetic history that could cause a health issue in the future

4. some people would belong to categories 2 and 3, but they are in a category of their own because of their lifestyle, which causes stress on their otherwise healthy bodies (smokers, eating fatty stuff, etc)

5. and very few are "defective at birth"

all i am saying is that these devices are comprised of many different and complex components. each component is manufactured in batches within certain degrees of tolerances. put together, the system's longevity becomes only as long as the longevity of the weakest link. also, your style of use of the device could stress a bunch of otherwise "good" components, causing them to fail earlier.

all in all, i've used my device carefully since may 2010. so far, i had to open it up once because the led flash cover had depressed into the body causing the vibrator to jam. for me, i haven't faced touch screen problems but i did face THAT particular hardware issue with the led flash cover.

i stopped using the screen protector a few months ago (only one faintly visible scratch so far). i also stopped using a silicone body case, so now the body has a few minor scratches as well. i treat the screen with a light touch and buttons with gentle presses.

all is well. but the question demands some sort of a "crystal ball". generally, electronics are built to last several YEARS...and so i will generally say that the HD2's screen will fail in 3-4 years, but don't hold me to it and i'm only saying it because the question asks for a time frame...so there you go!
[HD2 General] Martin_Toy:
Sorry, I just had to thank you for that post, it made me chuckle :P

I've not had any problems with mine, and mine is secondhand. These touch screens are markedly better than the likes of the Touch Pro 2 and the Tytn 2 (only other 2 touch screens I've owned) My TP2 screen died a death but the Tytn got bricked in an update. :( Oh well HD2 for the win :P

[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
It seems that there is a new wave of XT720 modders. Welcome!

I'm seeing a lot of repeat questions and search has become clogged with all the new questions, so I'm going to put pointers to the key threads here one place.

Where to start for using Froyo ROMs on the XT720

Many of you want to run some of the customized Dexter ROMs (such as khalpower's latest) and don't see how to get there. My recommendation is to start with Dexter's 1.3 first before going to the more recent ones. Installing Dexter's 1.3 will setup your phone and familiarize you with the tools and skills you will need to install the others.

So start by installing Dexter's Froyo 2.2.1 for XT720. Dexter's ROM downloads include tools and instructions for rooting your phone and installing Open Recovery and installing a nandroid image. The first post of Dexter's thread includes many versions that were created during development. Ignore all of them except v1.3 at the top. The older versions there are interesting mostly for people developing ROMs and should not be used. Installation instructions are at the bottom of the first post of that thread.

[ROM][25-feb-11][v1.3] Dexter's Froyo 2.2.1 for XT720

reverendkjr made a video walk through showing how to follow Dexter's installation instructions:

[GUIDE] Installing Dexter's Froyo - Video Tutorial

How do I get back to Motorola's stock

The best way to return to stock is to flash Motorola full ROM (SBF file) for your region/carrier. On Windows you use a program called RSD Lite and on linux you can use sbf_flash. Sometimes RSD Lite has problems with Windows drivers and doesn't work immediately. If that happens, ask for help.

reverendkjr made a video walk through showing how to flash back to stock using RSD Lite:

[GUIDE] Video Tutorial - Flashing your Milestone XT720 back to stock ROM

Where can I find Motorola's stock ROMs (SBF) for my XT720 and region/carrier

We used to have links to Motorola's website to download them directly, but Motorola have removed them and those links are broken. ROMs for some regions were downloaded before they disappeared, and a master thread where people who had them posted new download links is:

xt720 sbf firmwares(UK, It, Fr, US, Ge, CE, SEA, Sg,Ru)

i wonder why Moto removes thoese links..or they are gonna replace with offical 2.2.1 froyo sbf firmware ? is it comming?
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
Motorola is quite clear that 2.1 was the last we will ever see from them.
[Milestone XT720 General] mintaeroboy:
if you make an nandroid back-up you keep your apps, settings home screens, etc. rsd lite flashing should be the last thing you do,
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
It depends on what is your goal. Nandroid backup/restore won't remove the Open Recovery hijack or evidence of rooting. If you're in Open Recovery, the hijack is already there. Also, IIRC from when I was reading the nandroid scripts, even if you grab a pristine system.img (by extracting it from the SBF), nandroid will copy some (or all) of the hijack back over your image when you restore.
[Milestone XT720 General] mediaon:
