sensor keyboard

Hi everybody!

I am desperate with this problem:

I deassembled my milestone2 device to change the touch screen and now when the phone is assembled it "thinks" that the keyboard is always open, even when it's closed and i'm stuck at landscape mode.

I deassembled the phone looking for somwthing wrong and couldn't find anything. :( any idea?

Milestone 2 Nandroid backup?

Hi, I have a question, it might be stupid but help this noob please. I'm about to install argen2stone 2.7, but first i want to know if once I do it, I can go back to my stock rom only restoring a nandroid i made first. Basically because I might have to take my phone to my carrier in the future for fixing issues with the service, as it recently happened and I don't know if they will refuse to service it if it doesn't have the stock rom, or if argen2stone 2.7 doesnt work for me at all. I want to know if I can do this through a Nandroid because there is no sbf for my carrier as far as I know (Iusacell, Mexico). Thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
Being on stock rom will mean nothing if you are rooted and have cwm flashed :\.

Short answer - yes you can flash back to your stock rom

Long answer - yes, but you will be in just about the same situation as if you were to just send it in with argen2stone flashed as it will still be modified.
[Milestone 2 General] Mr. Dildo:
thanks, well in that case its enough for me, since I dont think they will really look into the phone if I have a problem like the last time, that time they just kept the phone to make test calls and such, it was a network problem
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
Excllent! :D I hate that feeling of 'merrr they are just gonna try and pin this on me". waiting for mine to come back from warranty repair and hoping all goes well

I'm stuck in boot animation

Hi Guys,

I'm quite new registered user, but I'm following the forum for quite some time.

I had already changed the ROM of my Milestone 2, 3 or 4 times, always flawlessly, except last time.

After I updated it to the last 2.3.6 TIM Brasil official ROM, I was looking for any other custom ROM that was able to be instaled in a GB kernel. I found MS2Ginger 3.0, and got stuck in boot logo animation.

I flashed the stock ROM, and got stucked again. I flashed the TIM ROM, and stucked.

The mais problem is that the Power+X key, is not working. It appears the green robot with exclamation logo, but the @ key does not work to enter in a bootloader menu to wipe cache/factory reset.

Please help me! What else can I do?

regards
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Use vol up+vol down instead of @ in the stock recovery (the screen with exclamation mark), then just do wipe data factory reset & wipe cache and everything will be fine ;)

vol up+vol down instead of @ is because of updating to (stock) GB

Motorola Milestone 2 Kernel downgrade

Hey. I have read on forum that its possible to do downgrade of Kernel. :confused:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497263&page=2

I think i have much worser problem...currently i have Argentina	Claro	M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27. Can you maybe explain to me, what i have to do, to get back to CM9 or CM7 (better CM9).

And maybe you know how to get root on this Version? SuperOneClick, UnlockRoot doesnt work for me -.-

I tried many ways...but no of them looks working for me :(

Thanks for your help!

And sorry for my bad english :P :rolleyes:
[Milestone 2 General] kikoblues:
I'm having the same problem that you. Nothing work for me. My Milestone 2 is in Claro Brazil GB stock rom eternally. But I sent a message to John asking what I do. Once I have an answer, I'll let you know.
[Milestone 2 General] mag2007:
Ohhh...that would be nice!! Thanks. I am still trying to get back to CM7 or CM9...but no way for now. If i get it working for me...i will tell you as well! :)
[Milestone 2 General] kikoblues:
I found out what happened. The BL version of Claro sbf is 4. And we can't downgrade the kernel with BL = 4, only BL = 3.

I tried to recompile the sbf with CG31 v3, but no sucess.

To install the CM7 or CM9 we need to be in froyo kernel.
[Milestone 2 General] mag2007:
Hmmm....bad news for us....then we have to wait until we can downgrade from version 4 :eek: I dont want to have this "stupid" rom with 3 languages without root...the only thing i do now with my mobile phone is phone, sms and musik :( not really what i paid for.

But looks like there is no other way for now!

REEDIT : I used the german one and the phone is back on how it was before being bricked. Thank you.
[Milestone 2 General] Sethdobaloah:
basicly the only difference in them is the keyboard layout. That wont be a problem, if u want to use a custom rom though.

If u want i can upload somewhere the retail UK 2.3.4 (the only rom i have)
[Milestone 2 General] Klunst:
Effectively, I have a qwerty layout, and as French I use an azery layout, but that's not a big deal. Thank you. My phone isn't "exactly" like it was, in fac it's not rooted anymore, and I'm experiencing some problems with Super One Click (it don't seem to detect the phone.. and the debug mode IS activated..) but I'm trying to figure this out..

Hey Guys,

I've been looking for more info on the board on the downgrading of the Kernel since I'm on the EU 2.3.4 GB. I came across this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22532058&postcount=1) but a majority of the links that lead to the files needed to downgrade aren't there. Is there another downgrade Kernel method? Or is it ok to flash with the EU 2.3.4 GB build?

This is what is displayed on my About Phone Section:

System Version: 61.1.22.A955.Retail.en.GB

Model Number: A953

Android Version: 2.3.4

Baseband Version: EPU91_U_00.60.00

[Milestone 2 General] Sethdobaloah:
did u perform a factory reset after the flashing? It worth a try.

hawkstorm: follow this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22623937&postcount=2 U only need the downgrade_for_bl=3.rar from the original thread

[Milestone 2 General] Klunst:
Thanks but the factory reset didn't change anything. In super one clic it keep saying me

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *

And does not do anything. It seems it is unable to find the device.. It's killing me. I din't understand why it never work.. I always follow exactly the tutos -_-' The last time I had rooted my phone with this tools and it had worked nice.

The multiupload links don't works for everyone, it seems this site have followed megaupload...

EDIT : I'v tried with my other PC (only difference is that it's a 32-bit) and it worked...
[Milestone 2 General] Sethdobaloah:
no, but u dont need that sbf, only a retail GB rom. If u are alredy on one, just do a factory reset, and take the next step. Or flash any other EU GB rom (basicly any GB rom with bl=3)

Here is the UK 2.3.4 I used this for downgrade: http://www.4shared.com/zip/Ax7dp92c/MILS2_U6_41-22_SIGNED_UCAMILES.html?
[Milestone 2 General] Klunst:
I don't understand. I have followed the tuto :

From a german stock rom of android 2.3.4, i use super one click to get rooted. I install droid2bootstrap, do the clockmod thing, reboot in clockmod recovery mod, install the zip package with the bootmenu, reboot in bootmenu, install the zip package of cm7 that I've downloaded, wipe data, wipe cache, install AGAIN the zip package with cm7, reboot, and... it show me the moto logo with a rabbit, and then black screen. What is wrong with what I'm doing ? I don't understand.

I've used this : mirrorcreator.com/files/0BYXFTDF/cm72-111120.2013-Milestone2-ICS-v1.0.zip_links on my two update. Should I have used this instead : mirrorcreator.com/files/MJXOZG13/endless7-mod-for-tezet-cm7-v1.15.zip_links ? I'm sorry I've read eveything I've seen but I haven't well understood that part yet..

Owh! I missed that line! So as long as it's EU it's a bl = 3... that's convenient~! ok.. MSGinger here I come...
[Milestone 2 General] Sethdobaloah:
u need a newer bootmenu, if u want to use MSGinger 3 (its too big or something for the v0.8.6) use this instead: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20122557&highlight=bootmenu#post20122557

I did everything that was mentioned previously. How do I know the flashing worked?
[Milestone 2 General] Sethdobaloah:
which flashing? in cwm if its succesfull u get back the control. And ofc ur phone can boot up :)
[Milestone 2 General] hawkstorm:
I'm able to boot into the phone.. but I don't see anything different... it seems all the same...even Motoblur is there... is MS2Ginger 3.0 with Blur?
[Milestone 2 General] Sethdobaloah:
yes. Thats made from the original defy+ rom, or something. U can check the version in the settings. It should be 2.3.6 version (instead of 2.3.4), and u should see somewhere msginger 3.0 too.
[Milestone 2 General] hawkstorm:
Ah... ok... then it was successful. Really easy! :-)

How do I change rooms later on? Do I need to flash the stock rom again?

Auto Sync Problem

Hi guys,

As far as I know, it was a bit annoying to receive notifications from Gmail whenever mails came in. It was.

But somehow this auto sync feature is dead on my MS2. Maybe dead for 1 week. Most of my accounts cannot sync unless I sync it manually. Now this is TRULY ANNOYING. My calendar, my gmail, even my Whatsapp stop auto sync!

I tried to find solutions on Google (I mean help center). The one solution listed is to check the auto sync box in "Setting -> Accounts/Sync." However, there's no auto sync box in MS2's setting.

So I need to open Gmail and refresh it if I need to get it sync. If I need to refresh my calender, I have to get into "Setting -> Account-> Google-> tap all to sync."

Gosh I really need help. Thanks in advance. :)
[Milestone 2 General] hawkstorm:
Try checking your settings to see if your autosync feature is on. Fastest way is the power management widget from android. The third button from the left is autosync.
[Milestone 2 General] xMrFlipFlop:
It might have been asked before but I couldn't find the solution. I am in need of a guide to install Argen2Stone 3.0 onto my milestone 2 currently running on the froyo kernel. I don't want to flash any sbf that is not downgradable because I really like the MIUI which (to my understanding) is only working for froyo kernels.

I know that the Chinese GB can be downgradable? But I'm not sure which one to get. The link on http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 says "DE/AT/CH" under country, and not specifically Chinese, so I am wondering if this is the downgradable sbf to flash. Then if it is, multiupload isn't working... So I need a mirror if anyone have one :s.

Then after I flashed the sbf file, all I have to do is to restore the nandroid? Anything else I need to be aware of to prevent myself getting stuck with stock GB?

Thanks in advance.

Is there any mod to do the " battery icon " shows on 1% about gingerbread 2.3.6 ? :D

[Milestone 2 General] _anto_:
I kind of disagree with this idea.

Indeed, we can search the issues and their solutions (if any) easier on one thread. But the problem is that, if everybody posted their issues here then it will be quite messy to read. The discussions on the issues will be interleaved in between each other, because there is no way to organise it. Unless people quoted the previous posts, it is hard to understand to which issue a post belongs to.

However, I agree that we should not ask the exact same question especially when it has been solved already. But the problem is, people thought that their issue is so specific. So even they already searched every where, they can not solve their problem. I think that is mainly due to they do not understand the provided solution. Or they just so lazy to read or even do the search. This always happens in all forums in the internet.

So what is the solution then? As the idea of the OP is to reduce the number of new thread containing questions that have been answered, then maybe the administrator can just apply more strict rule. If the question have been answered, then just delete the new thread without even answer it. But we need somebody to check and do it everyday. I don't think I have time for that if I were the administrator. :D

Touch problems

Hi everyone,

A couple of days ago my MS2 started acting weird. The touch screen is behaving erratically, especially on the left side. It started by clicking icons randomly, but now I can rarely draw the unlock pattern anymore. Whenever the unlock screen comes up, it's like there's an invisible, epiletic monkey messing around with the left side of the screen.

I've cleaned it quite well, I've formatted dalvik & cache, I've removed the battery for a while... nothing seems to help. It's been happening for a couple of days, so I know it's not humidity either.

Seems like a hardware issue, but I wanted to be sure. Anyone else had this? Do you guys think a factory reset has even a remote chance of working? Any idea of how much it would cost to fix?

I'm on tezet/endless CM7.

WiFi Scan

Hi guyz, I'm using CyanogenMod-7-120221-1901-NIGHTLY-Milestone2 (Android v2.3.7) and yesterday, after a freezing, I'm reboot my phone (removing the battery) and since my WiFi can't scan any network. Can't even connect networks saved in my broadband list. Any suggestions?

EDIT: After a lot of blind shots, I deleted some of my networks and XAZAM! the WiFi started scan (and connect) again. I hope this can help anybody with the same issue.
[Milestone 2 General] :
You need to hold the up arrow whilst booting to enter the Bootloader, which is used to write SBFs to the Milestone 2. To do this you need RSDLite on your desktop machine - refer to the link below for instructions on how to do this - and the CORRECT SBF file for your device. Because CM was just a ROM and not an SBF signed image, you are actually working backwards and trying to restore your device to it's original software set, and the most reliable way to do that is by flashing an SBF.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...-using-rsd-lite-flash-sbf-file-correctly.html

For the Milestone 2, a list of SBFs can be found below.

http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2

Hope this helps.

---------- Post added at 04:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

If it's worth anything, my Milestone 2 does that whenever I plug it in to an aftermarket charger I got off eBay (not legit Motorola at all). The touch screen is basically unusable. I'm not sure on the cause of this as there's a lot of speculation both here and at Android Forums and none of it seems to tie up to any solid fact. Perhaps, if you have one, try another battery? Failing that it could very well be hardware fault, in which case you'd be looking at a digitiser I would imagine. Good news is they don't cost much!

You won't be able to change ROMs, the only sbf file that will work for you is the Personal. There's a lot of information in the forum, both Vivo and Personal ROMs can't be rooted nor changed; once you apply one of them, you must stay with it. Download Personal sbf and reapply.

Hey guys, been around for a while, but I have a question now.

I'd post in the Dev forum, but yeah, don't have ten posts yet, since I never had any trouble before. :P

Anyway, I recently upgraded to sfc3001's CM9 build and I'm really loving it, so far, but I've run into a few issues, I'd like to ask about.

1. In this build, I apparently can't move my cursor around with the arrow keys anymore, when typing, which is really kinda annoying, especially when fixing typos. Any idea how to fix that?

2. I couldn't get any native tethering method to work. The USB connection never shows up on my comp, Bluetooth immediately disconnects and wifi locks up the wlan interface. Is it just me or is that still a WIP Problem? (also, any suggestions what to use instead, that works without too much of a hassle?)

3. I already read that the compass calibration never proceeds to step 2, but for some reason it never even turns green for me.

Thanks! :D

[Milestone 2 General] dhwirti:
1. Based on comments on dev forum, this is a bug. Probably in the next update will be fix.

2. By default in ICS the USB connection don't allow use it as removable drive. You must slide down the notification bar, select usb connection and allow it (I don't remember exactly, but I think the Android logo will become orange). For the other issues it's highly recommended full wipe before any rom change, for avoid this kind of trouble.

3. In my case it last about 5 minutes to turn green and yes, don't proceeds to step 2.
