You were lucky you didn't lose data. I had a situation like yours a few times. The say on the internet, thal memory cards are prepartitioned, and that manual partitioning will destroy them. Neverthless I owed damaged SDs and CFs, and I tried reformat them, or partition. I think that if your card is broken, you have nothing to lose.

First I'd try to format it under MS2. If it doesn't help format it under windows (complete format, not quick). If it doesn't help you may try to partition card (I did it with linux parted, but there are also windows programs like "Partition Magic" or "Acronis Partition Manager"), and then format newly created partition.

I think that there are great chances, that you will have to replace your card. They are not so expensive, and even if you restored your old card, I don't think it will be reliable.

[MENTION=4920791]micheclb[/MENTION]: I was on the stock GB ROM before and rooted and installed czechops ROM on my MS2. I have better battery life than with the stock ROM. So give it a try. If your battery life is still ****ty, I think you have to replace your battery.

4.4 launcher

Hello everyone,i have the MS2 with czeshop and its pretty nice i must admit,in my opinion the best JB rom for our device so far.When i had engle_mars's 10.2 which was also pretty good(maybe except the battery usage) i installed the kit kat launcher just to have the "OK Google Now" feature and it wasnt usable.If anyone know's our phone supports this hotword feature generally? And will it be usable in the new ROMs?

Honestly, I'm just trying to get my 10 posts so I can ask this question in the android development forum, but I might as well just ask it here then. I'm using Engle_Mars' Kitkat AOSP. There are two updates available, one from 4th december, the other from the 6th. But the one of 6 december is not announced at the forum yet. Should I just update to 4, to be sure?
[Milestone 2 General] Hagen von Tronje:
First of all I tried to google it and search this forum but find nothing that can help me...

I'm using Engle_Mars_kitkat 2013-11-28 and tried to install newer version 2013-12-06 but got error: signature verification failed. There is no option in recovery to turn off signature check.

So what should I do in this case?

Thanks in advance for help!

P.S. Sorry for my poor English
[Milestone 2 General] hamuchen:
Are you in the right bootloader? You can't flash ROMs in the build-in Motorola bootloader!

Greetings

hamu
[Milestone 2 General] Hagen von Tronje:
My current bootloader was installed with Engle_Mars_4.4 so I think it should be proper. But maybe I should try another? Which one do you recomend? Thanks
[Milestone 2 General] rabinhood:
No, no. Engle Mars ROM doesn't contain bootloader. On MS2 bootloader is locked, and cannot be flashed without a correct signature, and since keys are not known to public, only generic firmware flash can change bootloader. Moreover bootloader cannot be downgraded. Europe GB contains bootloader v3, while Latin America ROMs contain v4 bootloader. So if you ever flashed LATAM ROM, you can never come back to European ROM (if not counting some dirty tricks leaving bl=4, and the rest of firmware from European versions).

To sum up: if you flashed Latin America ROM, you are limited now to LATAM ROM's, and flashing European GB will end with blank screen on boot, but phone will still be recognized by RSD Lite, and you should be able to reflash again.

When I upgraded from CM10 to CM11, the non Motorola Recovery from my Phone changed from clockwork to some touch-enabled one. I think this is the "new Bootloader" he was talking about.
[Milestone 2 General] Hagen von Tronje:
Same as mine. I misunderstood a little bit earlier. I mean there are different recoveries installed with different versions of Eagle_Mars ROMs. And the latest version I have installed, It hasn't some options, only apply update and reboot and wipe. My recovery says "Android system recovery 3e"

Just in case: recovery is not bootloader?
[Milestone 2 General] Fedroid:
Bootloader mode is not recovery mode...

Some people have suffered from this.... see link

Hello!

I tried to flash this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2451742 (to be honest i tried to flash CM11, but i had way more problems with 11{no main menu at all, just black screen and working taskbar} than with 10.2 so i'll try do it with babysteps)

The problem is every few secs i got message that my AOSP keyboard has stopped. Few buttons (back, settings) dont work and i cant launch google play. I searched the forums and found that my problems are related to wrong gapps. I have those installed : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2296931 And i got them from link in CM10.2 thread so they should be fine yet they arent i guess? How can i repair this? I got GB version of milestone 2 with that touch-recovery you guys were talking ealier about.

Edit, nevermind. The link for gapps now contains never ones, i had to install correct ones for my version...

No SMS

With CM11 I don't seem to be able to send SMS. I already googled throuh to smsc settings, but they don't seem to get saved. Anyone got any ideas or do you think it's my SIM?

EDIT: My old HTC Tattoo is on strike too and my sister got no problems on the same provider. I guess it's down to the SIM-Card, even though I got no problems with web and phone.

SMS sending problems with czechops CM11 / Version 2014-02-24

Dear all,

I am currently using czechops CM11 / Version 2014-02-24 (freshly installed, full wipe) without any major problems.

But sending SMS is not possible. I updated my SMSC as described here:

Open Dialer

Type the following sequence '*#*#4636#*#*'

Open Device Information/Phone Information/Tablet Information

Scroll down to SMSC

Optional: Hit Refresh to see current SMSC number used

Enter in your carrier's gateway number in one of the following formats:

The 12 character gateway number including '+' (ex. +12063130004)

The 12 character gateway number in quotes (ex. "+12063130004")

The 16 character PDU formatted SMSC number as described below (ex. 07912160130300f4)

Press Update

Once entered, it can take up to 10 minutes for the phone to 'handshake' with the new gateway. A reboot is also suggested to power cycle the radio. If the format you entered does not work, attempt one of the other formats. Assuming everything worked, you should now be able to send and receive SMS properly.

But it does not work.

I tested the SIM in another phone : SMS sending works without problems

I tested another SIM in my Milestone: Sending SMS does not work.

It seems, that the problems are orginated in the ROM or in the setup of the ROM.

Any suggestions, what I can do ? Because of the Error Code 254 it seems to have something to do with the SMSC....

Thanks a lot for your assistance.

TA
[Milestone 2 General] Olstyle:
As you can see above I had the same problem. SMSC settings didn't help. In the end, changing the SIM to an "dumbphone" and then back to the milestone seemed to do the trick.

Since the last update i've got the same problem again, but since I only use SMS with two people, I was too lazy to look into it again.
[Milestone 2 General] theauthlaw:
SMS sending problems with czechops CM11 / Version 2014-02-24

Unfortunatly dropping the SIM into another Phone and back did not help me. With this SIM I am generally able to send SMS in all other phones. But not in the Milestone.

If I use the "refresh" button under Telephone information, the correct number is shown.

So I am quite sure, that the right number is installed at the SIM.

Could it be, that there is a bug in the ROM ? Who is able to send SMS with the last version of Czechops CM11 ROM ? And in which country the Milestone is used? Is any German here which is able to send SMS with this Milestone ROM ?

Thanks a lot for helping

TA
[Milestone 2 General] Olstyle:
It is still not working with the newest update :(.
[Milestone 2 General] Olstyle:
I changed to AOSP and this works with sms. Thought it needed a wipe of data and system, which might have been enough for CM11 too.
[Milestone 2 General] Olstyle:
Just for your information:

I went back to CM11 with a full wipe and can now use SMS there, too.

im afraid i havent heard of the problems with the phone portal yet, neither have i experienced any problems. however, you could sync your contacts directly with your gmail account. this should be an automatic feature which is constantly updated every time your're online
[Milestone 2 General] losaa:
M2 displays different times, all wrong!

I have the following issue both before and after last week M2 EU update.

The clock is not showing the right time, the clock in the taskbar stops randomly and then restarts efter an alarm or sometimes just when it feels for it. The clock on the screensaver shows the right time when you open it, but it doesn't update. As a result when you press the top-button on the phone, 2 clocks, each with a different faulty time.

Some users experience the same problem, I actually copied the problem description ( by lazyness!) from another user's post on Facebook.

Hi

Hi guys i have a problem with my droid 2

i tryed to update to GB via recoverymode and this failed

so the phone restarted,

when it restarts there is for 1 sec the M logo than it disapears and nothing happens.

The only thing which is working right now is the bootloader

what shall i do?

Please help me =(
[Milestone 2 General] profspudhed:
its noob question time!

i know that the droid 2 and the milestone 2 are the same hardware, and ive also noticed that there seems to be a lot more roms for the droid 2 (not to mention a gingerbread leak) so is there a way to port them or is that blocked by the locked bootloader too?
[Milestone 2 General] tjinwoon:

Hi, I'd like to know if someone ever experienced this problem:

When I set numers for speed dial (either from long pressing the contact or from speed dial configuration), when I check it some time later, the list is empty (except for the default 1 - Voice Mail).

Do you know how can I prevent the list from resetting?

Guys, please help me..

i can't connect to data network in gprs or 3g both the same. I've been checked data enabler, my gsm network operator.. etc.. but still did not connected, does anyone knows what the problem is? I'm using ms2 uk retail on indonesian gsm operator.

Thanks..
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
make sure you dont have some sort of application thats blocking ur data connectivity ie droid stats or juice defender. if you do, thats the reason why u cant connect to the internet. :)

i have never experienced this, nor have i heard of anybody else experiencing it. are u using stock ROM or agen2stone? also check that the contacts you intend to set up as speed dial are not hidden in your contacts list. alternately you can download external speed dial applications from the market that replace your stock speed dialer. such include go contacts or quick dial.

i noticed the same thing on my phone. what i noticed however is the voice-text feature only works when you are connected to a network, either mobile internet or WiFi. otherwise, you would get the 'connection problem' message. alternately i did stumble upon a free app on the market which enables voice-text via your bluetooth headset. if you do have a bluetooth headset, you could try voice to text via ur bluetooth headset using the native keyboard and sms tool. if that does not work, then try the app called MotoSpeak. this is an app developed by motorola for voice-text. its free on the market. that should solve ur problem:)

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.motorola.motospeak&feature=search_result

this question has been asked and answered before numerous times in both the android development and general sections of the milestone 2 forum. the answer is no it is not possible. there have been several threads on this: one of many is as follows:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097397

*#*#4636#*#* can't enabling connection... DsInactiveState

Is there any locked data connection?
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
Perhaps there might be a problem with your sim card itself...some network providers would need u to hv a 64k sim card at least to connect to the internet. Check with ur service provider. I've personally never heard of a thing called. its either ur phone is locked all together to a network or not locked at all:-)

Google Maps on my M2, especially with satellite view and pinch to zoom, often reaches 100% of cpu for several seconds and remains at that value even when I close the app. Anyone has the same problem? How can I fix it, because in this way the application is unusable.

It 's very strange that Google has not optimized for Android one of its main applications.:mad:
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
im afraid i dont have the same problem. perhaps you are using an older version of google maps? the new version of google maps is version 5.4.0 (please correct me if im wrong), and this is supposed to have some improved performance tweaks etc. also check ur MS2 is running google maps version 5 to start off with, as many older MS2's come preinstalled with version 4.x instead of version 5.x.
[Milestone 2 General] diditnya:
You're correct, thanks... with another sim card, i can connecting gprs on my MS2
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
thats good. go back to ur service provider and ask them for a 64k sim card or newer so u could access the mobile web using ur own number and not somebody else's :);):D:p
[Milestone 2 General] luigug:
Thanks for your helps but I have installed the last version 5.5 of Google Maps :(
[Milestone 2 General] agent008my:
do double check then that you dont have any very memory intensive programs running in the background. though its highly unlikely that it should affect much at all (as u have 512MB RAM), double checking wont hurt. sometimes certain types of antivirus/anti-malware softwares can cause this. i noticed significant lag when i was using AVG. no such thing with lookout security so far.

it would help to install something like watchdog that monitors for apps that are misbehaving in the background. many apps tend to misbehave, namely live wallpapers. so a software that automatically monitors and notifies u when apps misbehave would be really helpful. do try these out and get back to me if you still get a 100% CPU usage and if the satellite view freezes up:)

Hi

I wanted yesterday to update my msII(Fr retail version), i used the update software from motorola, when the update process rebooted the phone, it stuck in moto logo, said to me to reboot manually, didnt work, did the battery remove, nada, didn't want to reboot recovery mode either.

Thought it was dead but some hope came back when i held up arrow while rebooting, i was able to reach bootloaer screen,

tried then sbffing the phone, but process never ends even if it says passed.

i read around and did various things, but still can't get the phone booting,

Is there a way to wipe data from bootloader screen?

Help needed please, Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, just bought this phone and albeit its awesomeness, i've been experiencing some sound issues.

When I listen to music, some of them in random parts just stutter for a fraction of second. Its not much but happens quite a lot and that annoys me. It happens with connected music player and winamp.

I've just formatted the SD card and it still stutters. Swapped my 8gb card with my brother's 2gb one and it keeps stuttering. I'm afraid the problem is the phone...

A2S is a customized stock ROM, so if this is happening on A2S, it will happen on Stock also. Just reflash the stock ROM and see if the problem persists. If so, it's a hardware problem.

You can flash the updated (2.2.2) firmware from a SBF file

Just make sure you country has the same WCDMA frequencies as the flashed SBF.

Also make a nandroid backup before you do that: Droid 2 Bootstrap Recovery

3G navigation in US with my brazilian MS2. Will it work fine??

Hi, everyone. I bought my Milestone 2 in Brazil. I'm going on a trip to US and I'm wondering if I buy a local SIM Card there I'll get real 3G connection. I'm afraid this may not work once I heard if I had bought the Droid there, it wouldn't work on Tim 3G network downhere. Something to do with the data frequence band.

Does it make any sence?

Any suggest for a prepaid plan with 3g data connection? That should work fine in California, Las Vegas and Dallas.

Problem installing argen2stone through BR

I am currently trying to install argen2stone. All steps went fine (rooting/backing up/clearing cache & factory), untill the actual install. It seems to instantly hang (the install indicator freezes, and stays grey). Anybody has an idea about what is going wrong? Thanks

what i've already tried:

-other version of argen2stone (1.8)

-other install of Bootstrapper (1.0.0.3 & 1.0.0.5)
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
You have to extract the zip to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/argen2stone19 and then custom restore it.

[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Do you still have a backup of that rom?

If so, upload your build.prop and someone (I think Pzyduck) can get a SBF of that Rom.

This works better indeed, thanks.

However I get the following error afster recovery:

'data.img not found. Skipping restore of /data/..android_secure.img not found. Skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_securre. cache.img not found. Skipping restore of /cache/.

sd-ext.img not found. Skipping restore of /sd-ext/.

Restore complete!'

:confused:

After rebooting, it hangs at the 'M' (motorola) logo..

EDIT: After recovery with 1.8 argen2stone it works (because of the boot.img recovery). Can I use that boot recovery on the 1.9 version also?
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Forget about the boot.img, it won't flash because of the locked bootloader.

You need to have the Brazilian 3.12.0 SBF flashed, and then advanced restore argen2stone 1.9 and select its system.img (you got the error message because you just restore the nandroid).

If it bootloops on M logo, get to the recovery menu (Power Button + X Button) and factory reset/format data and cache.
