[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copper702:
Ok this morning i found out the official Froyo OTA was just released. I was running 2.1 EA28. I attempted the official OTA manual update, but kept on getting that stupid message, so I reflashed my phone to dl01 via Odin so i could do the OTA but failed, Then i reflashed my phone again to a newer build the dl09 and attempted the OTA and still failed. So i attempted the sd card method in safe mode, first using the ea28 update zip file, couldn't even do that. On all the methods i get stuck on my unpacking screen on my phone about 30% on "updating modem". Now im stuck on the dl09. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, i've been at this, this whole morning and mid afternoon and losing my patience:mad::mad::mad:! All i want is to run Froyo on this stupid phone, but there are so many freakin problems:mad::mad::mad:!

Please help me. I'm trying to flash the froyo stock rom, BUT my RSD Lite didnt recognize my phone. I tried with bootloader screen, recovery screen, with the phone on, debugging on, debugging off. I tried all the ways it normaly worked. I'm using th CM7 latest build, RSD Lite 4.6 and the latest motorola drivers(MotoHelper_2.0.40_Driver_4.9.0.exe). I tried in two windows xp pcs and one vista pc. I have the same error. It get stuck on "Finding new hardware - MTP Device" I think it have something with portal&tools. Please what i have to do?

Thanks, but I have already read this tutorial. And my problem is not only windows 7 64 bits. Is with windows xp 32 bits too. I tried every way, but nothing works. I hope someone can help me to solve this. Today i cant test with linux, but tomorrow I'll test. At least I can change between the mods, like cm7 and shadowmod cause i dont have to flash nothing to do this, is only apply a uptade.zip
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CronusStrife:
Ok. Now I'm really lost! I tried with a live cd from ubuntu. But i got this error:

Waiting for phone: Segmentation fault (core dumped).

I think the problem is with my phone. Maybe there is a problem with my bootloader, i dont know! When I turn on my phone with the power+X appears only the exclamation inside a triangle and one picture of a phone. After i do vol up+ camera button appears:

Andoird system recovery <2e>

Use d-pad to highlight; center to select.

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

This last line is a problem? Or use a live cd was my problem? A nandroid backup can save me? I tried, but maybe all of my backups are with this problem. Can someone, please, upload a Nandroid backup from CM7, preferably with only the stock things. Please help me, with you do no how to help, if you know someone who can help, i beg you to tell him my problem. I thank everyone who helped so far.

And please pardon me for my horrible english!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
What happens if you select apply sdcard:update.zip?

When I select that, my phone boots into AOR and everything is fine.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CronusStrife:
WOW! Fast like a thunder your answer! Is I select this my phone boot into AOR too, BUT i think i can't flash a sbf into AOR. Can I?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
I love these forums, I spend WAY too much time on them xD

If you are able to boot into AOR then you already have a VR installed.

Oh wait. You want to go BACK to Froyo? What bootloader version do you have?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CronusStrife:
That's the question! I don't know how to check that!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Boot into Bootloader mode and the first line should tell you what version your bootloader is.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CronusStrife:
Maybe there is a problem with my bootloader, i dont know! When I turn on my phone with the power+X appears only the exclamation inside a triangle and one picture of a phone. AND THERE IS NOTHING!!!

Please confirm me, Bootloader screen is when you press power + X button right? And recovery screen is when you press vol up + camera right?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
There's your problem! To get into bootloader you need to hold the power button and d-pad up!

When you hold power+x, you are going into recovery mode, the vol-up+camera button is only to display the menu.

Use this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11902513&postcount=7

And you can get the sbf from here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221

I believe the service version wipes all data.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] sileshnair:
I am joining the discussion too. Power off phone. Press dial pad up + power key and release. You should see your bootloader screen. It looks like this.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CronusStrife:
Ok! You both can curse me now! I'm really stupid! My bootloader is 90.78. But i ask to myself how did i get flash a lot of roms without doing it! Flashing now!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
Perhaps you've flashed so many ROMs you forgot you had to get into bootloader in the first place.. :D

Let us know how it goes!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CronusStrife:
I flashed with the phone on! When i connect my phone and open rsd lite my phone appears there and i flash! I still dont know what happened with my phone to Rsd lite didnt recognize that at this time! Maybe because I always flashed i Full rom and the last time i flashed only the base rom and applied CM7. BUT it doesnt matter now. Thank you all!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] sileshnair:
That's probably because you need bootloader mode only for flashing sbf's. All custom roms only need recovery mode. It must have a while since you flashed a stock sbf. Anyway, just to point out that if you are planning on flashing a custom rom after flashing the stock sbf, you will need to flash the vulnerable recovery before you can get into recovery mode.

Good luck.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] CronusStrife:
No. I flashed the 2.2 base with my phone on! I remeber that! The rsd lite recognize my phone and i started it! So my phone reboot alone and enter into bootloader alone too. Yes, i'll use your nandroid backup for brazilian froyo! Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] brettgearing:
I'm absolutely at my wit's end with this.

I tried to use Motorola's update to 2.2 on my Milestone, and I became locked in the bootloader loop. I can't get to the recovery mode.

I can get to the Bootloader screen. So I tried using RDS lite to flash an sbf. No go. I tried five different sbfs. Still no luck. I reinstalled the drivers. Windows detects the phone, but RDS lite does not. I ran it as administrator. Nope.

Since I was using Win 7 x64, I tried my laptop with XP. Still no luck. I reinstalled drivers, redownloaded sbfs, I danced around the computer and sacrificed a goat. I started RDS first and then plugged in the phone, I moved it to different USb slots. Same problem persists.

So I tried Ubuntu. Ran it from a USB stick. Around this time my phone battery had run dead, so I panicked until I realized the wall charger still works.

Linux, however, also fails. It just keeps telling me to boot the phone into Bootloader Mode. It is!

Please help.

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
What errors do you encounter using RSD Lite on Windows? What version?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] brettgearing:
No errors. It simply doesn't see any phone connected.

I started with version 5.0, then tried 4.6, and then 4.7. And then back to 5.0.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] skadude66:
So you've tried running RSD Lite 4.7 with the Motorola USB drivers and it doesn't recognize the phone when it's in bootloader mode? Does anything show up at all?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] brettgearing:
On Win 7 I can't even figure out how to get it to open the sbf file.

On XP it will open the file, but it shows nothing at all for the phone.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Anastasiia:
I had similar problem trying to flesh my Motorola flipside. Installing RSD (i tries different versions, but ended up using 5.0) to C: seemed to help it see the phone.

And then very odd..(found it someplace on the forum) renaming sbf file into G2.3.sbf and placing in on C: also worked like a charm.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] brettgearing:
This helped it with finding the phone? I tried the file renaming, made no difference.

Trying this.. But does anyone else have any ideas? I really don't understand why Linux won't work either.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] brettgearing:
Ok, it's not got anything to do with where the file was located or named or any of that.

But, I think I figured it out.

I had been getting to the bootloader by holding the volume button while I booted. That does work, it gets me into the bootloader just fine.. Or so it seemed.

Just on a lark I used the D-pad to get into the bootloader this last time. Everything seemed the same with the phone, but the computer detected it right away now. Unbelievable.

Flashing now, let's see what happens.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Anastasiia:
I was getting to the bootloader holding up arrow and power button...

It is unbelievable! And yes, I couldn't get RSD to see the phone until I installed it to C: but then it would give me error right away until i moved and renamed sbf file :rolleyes: Sorry if it was no help for you.

Good luck!

Hi peeps...jus joinin in...\

i have the same problem

rsd lite is not seeing my phone....

Plz help..

Its my first time doing this stuff

thx
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] fudgestix:
Put your connection mode into Portal & Tools mode. Do this by scrolling down the notifications bar and press on "USB connection". Change the setting and press OK. might have to reconnect phone or restart RSD to work. This worked for mine since bootloader just got stuck in a loop. [I just took out the battery and waited a few seconds before putting it back in].

If you have windows vista try running as administrator. If you don't have a windows computer, better get one or use a friends =p.

Now I know you're going to call me paranoid....but I have been seeing a progressive shortening of battery life on my device as we progressively move into more advanced custom kernels created by our lovely devs:p

Anyone care to discuss?

** it has been pointed out to me we are still not this far along in kernels...still an interesting read
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
Should be in general not development
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
i only put it here because in "general" this would more directly impact "development", target audience and all.....i suppose they can move if they like, but just so you know, i did ponder that for a minute..:p
[Fascinate Android Development] xHoLyx:
You know there's no "they". Only mod can move it.

You've just been Fascinated
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
they refers to the collective known as "the mods" :)

what the hell is going on around here anyways with the obsession with "posts being in the wrong place"....and by that i dont mean any disrespect, but thats why you have mods, to move to errant thread or two, why is it lately the only thing people want to respond with is, "you should have posted this in ______ section" instead of actually responding to the thread topic....????
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
honestly if its not a rom/mod release or a legitimate development discussion like "how to build kernels or roms" or something it doesnt belong here..that is all

this isnt to flame at all...and our mod said only the first person to post should say "wrong section" if someone had posted before me i wouldnt have posted it
[Fascinate Android Development] sunder74:
I personally think if its a development related discussion it belongs here. Not to say this post has any direct relation to "current development" There doesn't have to be a zip or a side load or a script to be a development related post.

Maybe our development sections (for all devices) should have restricted access to post unless the mods deem the memeber a developer. Read/write and read only type scenario. :-/
[Fascinate Android Development] MattRussNC:
A lot of people seem to care because as we mostly come to this forum to check the latest in rom and kernel development. With so much happening right now with updates coming here is like reading the news headlines. This post where it is, is well more like spam. Also because the battery life issue has been discussed many many times across the board and solutions given have worked for most. also need [] containing the tag of the thread.
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
fair enough...threads like this without specific aims toward developing/improving our phone just clutter this subforum that frankly the vast majority of poeple come to for roms/kernels/mods..

if this is a linux/android specific discussion then the general android development forum or something...because i dont think this relates to anything that will specifically do anything for our phones
[Fascinate Android Development] sunder74:
True android general development would probably be more suited... but it is an interesting article and lends some evidence toward my 5 hour tbolt life lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] MattRussNC:
I don't own a tbolt but seems to be a lot of talk on the 4g not playing to nice. Think it was acting like wifi when it couldn't get a good 4g connection, trying, failing, reverting to 3g, then repeating. Again don't have one so just repeating what others have said, i'm sure theres lots on the sit in the tbolt forum. Whatever the exact issue is, its most likely centered on the lte radio.
[Fascinate Android Development] tonu42:
Nice article. Relates directly to the biggest issue of all android devices. Good performance = bad battery. This helps clarify that. KEEP IN ANDROID DEVELOPMENT!@!
[Fascinate Android Development] neyenlives:
Maybe there needs to be a separate section for "Releases" then if this article honestly really ruined you visit like Spam. Where do people discuss development issues if not in the development section? This section like you pointed out is where everyone comes to get the latest rom or kernel. Seems to me that warrants its own Release section.....oh wait....that's why the mods asked those types of threads to be titled specifically in a format that makes that obvious. Then the discussion threads could co-exist in the same section without being considered "Spam"
[Fascinate Android Development] Syn Ack:
Another good thread ruined by backseat moderators.

Good article.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
I still fail to see where *anything* is being developed :/
[Fascinate Android Development] finalhit:
Lol. I was just reading all the responses and thought...wow, they're really talking about the thread being moved for this long.

i dont need a signature
[Fascinate Android Development] sunder74:
It is a good article and it is development related. Just because its not a rom, kernel zip, script, apk or system dump doesn't disqualify it from the development forum.

(Though android general may have been a better option as stated previously.)

Spend as much time policing your own actions as you do trolling threads like a lynch mob and maybe things will get to the way they used to be on this site.
[Fascinate Android Development] MattRussNC:
Lol I actually like the thought of kernels, roms, mods, odins, radios, and such having there own place. Like keeping up with the latest works here, for other news clips and links I look elsewhere.

Oh, I'm sorry if you think I implied this ruined the forum. Just felt it detracted from it ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] nitsuj17:
yeah if there was a "development discussion" section that would be best....as if all the articles available out that could be posted like this to foster discussion ended up in here.......well it would really clutter stuff up

my own personal opinion (and its not worth anything) is that the development section is best served as a release...and discussion of said release...section...i mean thats what 95% of us treat it as...and have been accustomed to having it as such
