[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MongooseHelix:
Are you able to get it into fastboot mode? To do so, the phone needs to be completely off first...pulling the battery if needed. From there, first hold down the green send/call button then press and hold the red power/end button at the same time. Holding both should bring you to the fastboot screen which has three small skateboard andy's at the bottom and the word FASTBOOT highlighted in red. If you get there, post what the top two green lines say. Post #4 in the thread phone_cell gave shows an example of what you'll see. I would also try and follow bftb0's directions in post #5 about using the "Official" RUU utility to install usb drivers but make sure to stop before actually flashing anything to the phone. After that, download the fastboot tool and then with the phone connected through usb, see if the command "fastboot devices" lists your device ID.

Getting that far is promising and you can proceed with bftb0's directions in that thread to flash with HBOOT, load a recovery, hopefully eventually get a custom ROM flashed.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjslugbug:
Hey MongooseHelix (great nick). Thanks for your reply.

No, the phone does not boot into fastboot, or anything else. There's plenty of resources here for all the different methods for booting and such. I've read hundreds of threads and pages. I've tried them all (and to success on other phones). It only gives me the recovery-stuck-ness.

The more I think about it, the more I think it has something to do with me not having this certain phone installed on my computer prior to receiving it. ? What would other people do to remedy something like that..? Find a working model to get the drivers working? Hmmm. Thanks and thanks again folks.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MongooseHelix:
If you haven't already, how about installing the android-sdk(try the exe if on windows):

http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

Then run the SDK Manager.exe from the SDK directory. I'd download the latest SDK tools, SDK platform-tools, and the USB driver for Windows. Make sure to add the tools and platform-tools directories to your path...instructions at the end of Step 5:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html#sdkContents

With the phone on and connected through usb, see if running "adb devices" from the command prompt recognizes the Eris.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjslugbug:
Yes, I had the android-sdk installed prior to receiving this phone. I did run it and update everything within it (per everything I researched online). But, the phone still doesn't show up via "adb devices". I feel like because the phone is stuck in recovery, it's not letting the computer do anything hardware-wise with it. ? Not sure.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MongooseHelix:
Not sure what else to suggest. Without access to recovery, fastboot, or hboot along with not being able to connect through a comp, it unfortunately sounds like it might be hard-bricked. I'm certainly no expert at reviving an Eris so someone may know a way to to fix things...maybe bftb0 will come work his magic. Good luck and if I find or think of anything else I'll let you know.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
The red triangle screen is indeed a splash screen for the stock recovery.

The next question is whether you are able to proceed beyond the "splash screen" and attempt to perform a "factory reset" procedure using the stock recovery menus.

There are two ways you get past the stock recovery splash screen, and it depends on which version of the stock recovery is installed on your phone have.

(1) press & hold Vol-Up+End simultaneously (with the "red triangle" splash screen showing)

or

(2) press the Home(soft-key)+End simultaneously (with the "red triangle" splash screen showing)

Do either of those cause the <2e> recovery menu to appear on the screen? If so, perform a "factory reset" using that menu, and THEN see if you can get alternate startup modes to occur (after powering off the phone before each trial):

End (only) => Does anything boot now?

VolDown+End => HBOOT

Send+End => FASTBOOT

VolUp+End => Recovery boot (red triangle screen again) **only works if HBOOT > 1.49.xxxx

Please do not say "I tried everything" in your reply. It is extremely non-specific, and conveys no information about what you actually attempted.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjslugbug:
Many thanks for the reply. !

With the recovery splash screen showing, upon holding "Volume Up + End (power)" I get = E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command Now, I am able to clear that message by pressing "Volume Up + End" again, however it just goes back to the recovery splash screen.

I held down Home (on the glass) + End (power) and nothing happened.

?? Any suggestions ?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjslugbug:
Also... my reference to "tried them all" in my earlier post meant that I have tried just about every combination of simultaneous key pressing upon powering up (booting from no power) the phone. I am also familiar with the recovery menus on other phones - I have not seen it show up on this one (per my most recent post as well).
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
That message is quite normal. However, what usually happens is that the (stock) recovery <2e> menus appear immediately after that message.

I guess this suggests that there is something wrong with the phone (hardware) or the recovery.

I'll give it some thought (check this thread every so often), but I don't see an immediate way out of your situation.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjslugbug:
Well, I certainly appreciate the replies. Thanks!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Does

VolDown+Send+End

do anything interesting - either from a phone off condition, or when the "can't open /cache/recovery/command" message is on the screen?

Was there a (properly formatted) SD card in the phone when you performed all the prior button-pressing experiments?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjslugbug:
Booted with "Volume Down + Send + End" = same, straight to recovery splash screen.

I then "Volume Up + End" to get "e:can't open /cache...." and tried "Volume Down + Send + End" = no changes.

I have an sd card in it that I used to root a MyTouchSlide recently. It has ClockworkMod recovery on it (update.zip). I have done every procedure I've mentioned in this thread with and without the sd card in the phone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I just reread the whole thread.

I understand that you tried all the standard button-press-startup methods, and the only thing you can get to work (partially) is the first part of the standard recovery boot. What you didn't say explicitly is, what exactly happens when the standard button-press operations fail:

- nothing at all (screen stays black, not a single LED blips, etc)? or,

- every start sequence results in the recovery splash screen? or,

- the three skating droids appear but the screen freezes that way? or,

- other?

Here is what you are up against:

The standard recovery does not start up an "adbd" daemon, so worrying about drivers is not likely to get you anywhere: under normal circumstances, "adb" simply doesn't work with a standard recovery.

There are two exceptions to this:

(1) The (leaked) HTC "Root ROM" does start an adbd daemon (but "adb shell" won't work)

(2) The Leak-V2 recovery had a race condition that allowed less than 20% of the folks who tried it to get an adbd daemon to persist. (Search for "tereg" root). It's a huge long shot.

Whether either of these apply to you is indeterminate, as we know neither the bootloader version that is on your phone, nor the version ofthe (damaged?) recovery on the phone.

One more question, and then some straws to grasp at:

- when you plug the phone into the charger, do you see the amber/green LED light up?

- repeat every one of the "standard-button-press" sequences, but make sure that before each start sequence, you pull the battery, press all buttons, wait 10 secs, and then reinsert the battery. Long shot, but what have you got to lose?

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjslugbug:
- what exactly happens when the standard button-press operations fail:

The three skating droids appear (for a few seconds, as per a normal-type boot is beginning) but then the screen freezes to the recovery splash screen.

- when you plug the phone into the charger, do you see the amber/green LED light up?

Yes, I see the amber/green light. The light seems to operate as if it is charging normally.

I will try your 10 + second-battery-pull-button-combinations method here in a while.

Really appreciate the thoughts/help on the matter. !!!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjslugbug:
Nada. Same results when leaving battery out for 10 seconds + between button-boot combinations. Boo.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
To my knowledge, the only possibility remaining to you is the "tereg" double race condition exploit of the Leak-V[2,3] recovery. It was a long shot to begin with (and tedious to execute even for those that succeeded at it), and your situation is a little different because that exploit was launched starting from the HBOOT menu.

Good luck if you give that a try.

wow sounds good as a fast and light alternative to the gingerbread-roms! although i am happy with ho!no! at the moment, i think this one is a good alternative for everyone who wants a stable and light rom.

Hii,

Though I'm using CM7 since a while, but I'm very glade to see new developers in this section.

Keep up the good work man..

Really Cooooooooooooool :cool:

Thanks a lot

I wish u the very best of luck. ;);)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
i might start using this rom.

1) needs a GB theme, you said sileshns on it. NICEEEE

2) Needs a lonnggg battery life otherwise i may as well use CM7 you get me
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] mcdevtingz:
PLEASE PUT IN SUPPORT FOR APPS EXT

SAFE
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
OMG YES.

While CM7 is amazing (I use it on my other phones) you have to be honest the Milestone is not cut out for GB. Even if you think it's blazing fast, just wait til you try a 512mb device. The Milestone on CM7 will be forever a lagfest slideshow in your eyes after that.

I'm glad that CM6 has some life breathed into it. I'd love to use CM7 on the Milestone, but CM6 is just 10x more usable due to its speed
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sileshnair:
Good work dude. I am sure many people will be happy to use this.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] keunhuvac:
How about ext4 with this ROM?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
No ext support??? :(
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
If it's just like any other GB ROM, you can just take 05mountsd and 07app2ext from CM7 and put them in system/etc/init.d before flashing the ROM.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] LuigiC6:
Already did and it worked :P Thanks for quick response :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
No problem. I am curious about the benchmarks for this ROM!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] justanordinarydude:
hmmm will try this later today :-) i stopped using CM6 because there were no updates for it anymore. i was quite happy with it but also always curious to try new roms =) thx for this dude :-)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rampee:
Unable to get past M logo on bootup (after update).

Wiped everything and tried flashing.

Any pointers?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] usrname:
geil ENDLICH!!

thank you so much. i hope this brings a few improvements to the beloved CM6 for milestone. i tested gingerbread and was amazed of the features cm7 gave the milestone, but switched back to cm6 due to the missing performance. thank you for sharing! I hope you keep on developing cm6!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] justanordinarydude:
anyone can confirm this? still need my phone till evening
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] skadude66:
I flashed it last night and had no issues whatsoever. Just make sure you wipe your caches before and after you flash Gapps or Silesh's theme.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] usrname:
I just flashed 0.09 to my milestone. made nandroid, deleted dalvik and cache partition, updated to 0.09, and flushed dalvik and cache again .... then rebooted. everythink works so far.

i noticed a problem with my wifi net. its not possible to connect to the internet while i'm connected to wifi. 3g works, but theres no connection to the internet as long as i'm connected via wifi. can anyone confirm this problem?

this is not caused by the regulatory domain:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] sagarparmar:
Anyone else facing the same issue? I factory reset it and it happens once. any possible solution????
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] AirLancer:
Are any of you undervolting (changing vsel) ? That tends to cause problems.

Or did you apply any scripts or changed settings using OR?

The ORs are quite outdated by now and could cause problems if you apply some tweaks from there.

In my experience even a full wipe cant get rid of some side effects of tweaks.

What could help is a full wipe, including formatting the SD card.

So, backup music and pictures and get rid of the rest (anything android and settings related).

Don't forget that by wiping SD card you will have to apply the OR again including all the hassle of rooting etc.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] stexyn:
Hi everybody, I don't find the option to disable the music control when screen is off by volume buttons.

i take my rockin stable back ;)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Superloko:
at first i had some freezes and random reboots....

with little higher Vsel´s its "rockin stable" ;-)

No reboot and freeze for 2 days

I think the reboots an freeze could be caused by to low Vsel....

850Mhz with Vsel 50

700Mhz with Vsel 46

550Mhz with Vsel 40

400Mhz with Vsel 36

250Mhz with Vsel 28

I know it depends on CPU/GPU... but higher Vsels could really fix the problem

Hey milaq, any word on if you can bundle the CM7 sounds like notifications, ringtones, etc also? There's a few new ones I like :D

I know I can do this manually, but it'd be nice to get this as close to CM7 but running 2.2 right? :D

THANKS ONCE AGAIN!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milaq:
new version 0.12 and Gingerbread theme available

i released it without the egdeglow overscroll effect from gb. for details see https://github.com/milaq/android_pa...mmit/f84d50055a3cef93db2eb2411e3c178bd5537827

i'll try to pinpoint the problem and see if the feature will pick its way through into the next version.

regarding the freezes/reboots: it would be good if you have an eye on your dmesg/logcat with a filter ("omap"). furthermore IF a reboot occurs check /data/dontpanic. and try to rmmod dsifix.ko and see if that causes your problem. as long as i am concerned i have VERY few framedone/l4 errors, but those occur less often than the standard dsi errors without the module.

sry mate. saw your post too late. already was compiling as i noticed it. it has been a very busy week.

i see what i can do for the next release :)

meanwhilst you could create the following directory structure on your sdcard:

media\audio\alarms

media\audio\notifications

media\audio\ringtones

and put your ringtones in the corresponding dir. that way android includes the sounds.

From which base ROM to install????

Hi Milaq:

After some testing of Nadlabak CM7 RC I'm thinking to go back to CM6 because of the small RAM of Milestone. Today I downloaded your latest ROM 6.1.2-0.12 and had a strange problem to install it. The steps I did where the following:

- Installed GOT 2.2.1 leaked ROM sbf using RDS-Lite

- Entered Recovery Mode

- Applied the 6.1.2-0.12 Update File

- applied the GAPPS Update File

- Rebooted

Now, everything went fine, except for the problem that I cannot add my Gmail Account. Even from factory reset state, the ROM doesn't show the start-up dialog asking to set-up the Google Account. When I manually tried to add a Sync Account, I can only add an Exchange Account.

Is there any step I'm missing?

Thanks in advance

Javier Ponce Betti
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] vigos:
I had the same when I didnt have the GAPPS installed. Can you try to flash them again? Is the HDPI build in the page:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Abazel:
After flashing the 2.2 DSI fix i have random reboots when typing/reading text messages. Anyone experienced that (in the previous version of the ROM)?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Yeah I pulled CM7 from my Nexus S and copied the files over to my Milestone. It's not hard for modders like us, but would be nice to just have it bundled as sometimes I wipe my phone for a clean install.

I love your work though!

Also what about the notification buttons for the pull down menu? Is it possible to get those more like CM7 or am I missing something in the GB Theme v3??
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TowaTou:
I have no number in terminal's keyboard, anyone have the same proble with new version?

Is it possibile to add the possibility to wake up the screen with the volume menu like in cm7?I have some problem with the power button and I really miss that function!Thanks
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] ingelectronico:
Ok, I'll try with this version of Gapps.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] javachris:
Hey everyone,

I'm very glad someone picked up where nadlabak left off with CM6. It is IMHO the only viable Froyo ROM for the Milestone. I wish that we could have the configurable overclocking settings like CM7, because I think that 1GHz is a bit too much for the Milestone, so I would rather use something like 800MHz or 600MHz instead.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] <insert_name>:
you can use e.g. setCPU to limit the mhz

in v0.12 i get quite a lot reboots, could i just install an older dsi-fix or won't this work
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] :
flashed yesterday, didn't had a reboot till now.

everything seems to work as good as before.

i could be wrong but i think the new memory management introduced in 0.11 is not as good as in 0.10, imo.im gets killed very often, even if i don't do much other background stuff.

will check further and if i experience reboots i will post it.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] nowforever:
If you don't want to use Set CPU, you can use OC script from FroyoMod.

It's has the same OC style :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] rosmarcelino:
Very good work mate,but i have a problem,my home and search buttons are not working..anyone with the same problem or a solution?

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] milaq:
for all those with keyboard problems:

that means: don't change your keyboard layout through OR. please change it through CMSettings instead.

will see what i can do :)

it will work just fine if you replace the module and set the permission properly

can't be the memory killer adjustment :)

it was only a minor settings adjustment.

moreover, the values were set

down

. in fact your apps will be killed

later

than with earlier versions of the rom.

see here: https://github.com/milaq/android_de...mmit/261227ca5b99fe35ee555b1b68b9b3655901dc55

afterwards: 1536,3072,6144,6656,7168,8192

if you need still more ram you can disable JIT (i always keep JIT disabled).

see here for an informative post about JIT and how it can affect performance on low memory phones: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/880-jit-wont-make-your-phone-super-fast/page__p__7910#entry7910
