I had the same problem try flashing back to a VZW rom (dl09,eb01, or ed05) and run it for a day and see if you have the same problem...I did and brought it into Verizon none the less with eb01...(not an official Verizon release) and they confirmed my modem was hosed...they over night'd me a new one and I sent the old one back with eb01 on it and they never gave me a problem!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syndacate:
I ran UKB 2.1 for like a week, last week. Not a hiccup. I don't think this is a HW issue, had no problems on UKB, nor OEM Froyo, nor OEM Eclair.

This is the second one (first one's camera HW was dead after like 2 weeks of use, verified by VZW), I really think the modem HW is fine, that's an issue with my setup or my process of flashing or something along those lines, still possibly key related for the authentication keys with Verizon if I'm not doing something right in the ESN swap process.

Maybe I'll try pushing a non-EC09 modem tonight (like ED05) and see if that fixes the issue, any other modems I should try? This problem sucks, just went to lunch, came back, no data *sigh*. Posted this right before I left for lunch (about 1.5 hours ago), right after it happened earlier...

:(
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elluzion:
idk man doesn't sound good. I am getting a replacement for mine (i somehow fried my modem/data or something?), but I just may never flash a rom again because ever since I started flashing my modem has become worse and worse... and now it is completely fried.

I have tried flashing a million modems before without a change, so I doubt that will help you. I would just recommend going BACK to what worked, and sticking with it, or you could fry your **** like I did.

i'm on miui 8.19 and every once in awhile i get a force close for android.phone and my 3g disappears too
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevinLeFevere:
I always had very weird data problems on 2.3 MIUI/CM7. The market would hang constantly or the browser would. I'd have to turn on airplane mode etc to get it back to normal.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syndacate:
Umm...ok.

Not trying to be a **** here but flashing the modem software has no impact on the modem hardware itself. Now, it is possible for modem firmware with an issue to cause damage, however, this is unlikely. The modem images are proprietary blobs swiped from OEMs, they're not tweaked by hackers in the Android community. I'm sure some OEM could figure out how to cause damage with one, but realistically they should be fine, even if the OEM was trying to kill it.

If your modem is getting worse and worse, regardless of what you did, it sounds like you had a hardware issue from the start. If that's the case, I'd suggest getting your phone replaced by VZW.

I would be extremely surprised if our problems are related. I'll keep it in mind, though.

Force close on what?

I don't get any force close, 3G just silently fades (not completely, goes from green to white). It still shows 1x or 3G accordingly, though. It's just white, hence, useless. Airplane mode for 10s fixes it.

Does this only happen on MIUI? Mine is pretty bad, happens like once an hour.

Yeah, I expect either of them to glitch or hang if there's no network connection present, I have no issues with that. I have an issue with the fact that there is no network connection present :-P.

Im using cm7 right now and I really don't like it in terms of battery life. What are u guys using?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
the rom won't give you bad or good battery life, the kernels do. try the eclipse or kangbang kernel. also as you know keeping 4g on no matter what rom causes excess drain.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
that's funny. CM7 is one of the best for battery life. have you tried out different radios? the MR2.5 worked well for me when i was on CM7. i've been switching around lately between a few of DroidTh30ry's AOSP ROMs and using the new MR3.5 radio. it's still been doing well.

in general though, i find that AOSP roms are much better on battery then Sense based ones.

[EDIT] yeah the kernal plays a big part to. i decided to switch back to CM 7 1.6.1, MR3.5(802) radio and using Tiamat's kernal.

the Imoseyon 'leankernal' does a really good job to

The latest leaked ruu is giving me amazing battery life. I mean I've went from 9 hours with out plugging my phone in to

25 hours using the stock battery and not changing my usuage patterns.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoulderGeek:
I'm getting excellent battery life from SkyRaider Zeus Preview on his stock kernel and the rooted 7/8 OTA radios.

Best ROM i've seen, period.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareally:
battery life is an awfully subjective topic, right up there with "best rom," "best kernel" and "best phone"

Amen, I totally agree with you!!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dak_181:
theres a lot you can do besides rom for battery life, but contrary to what is said above the rom DOES affect battery life. im on synergy and its great. but i also undervolt to 246 when screen off and run dconfig to kill apps when i get to 200mb of ram left. what ive found most affects battery life to be honest is how good your service is where your using your phone

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazydrummer95:
So Im getting pretty bored with the Sense user interface, and I have found a great replacement for it, although, when I run the UI, it says I havent bought this app off the market, and it makes me quit out of it. Its called SPB Shell 3D, and I downloaded it off of 4shared.com. I am unrooted, so I cant use DroidWall to stop it from connecting with the market. Ive been looking for any good apps that will do this without needing root, and the only one I have found is App Shield, but dont have the money to buy it. I was wondering if there was any way I can stop SPB Shell from connecting with the market, without having to turn my WiFi or Data service off.
[G2 and Desire Z General] slufoot69:
I have Cynagenmod Nightly 1.79 installed. The question is beforehand my phones model number under settings-about was labeled G2. And on the appmarket it was labeled as a G2 phone. But now its being labeled as a HTC Vision in the settings-about section and in the appmarket. Any ideas why it was changed when I flashed CM179 nightly??
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
It has always been this way, its not new this nightly. This phone is called "HTC Vision" officially. It refers to both the G2 in the USA and the Desire Z in the rest of the world.

If you want it to say "G2" you have to edit the build.prop file and change the string.
[G2 and Desire Z General] slufoot69:
Ok cool, but was just saying that my phone previously was labeled as a G2 in settings-about. After flash of nightly it changed to Vision... No bigy just stating..
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
On any CM rom its not going to say G2 like the guy above told you its nothing new
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
I know. And I'm saying that the stock ROM will obviously identify the phone as a G2. Most custom ROMs will refer to the phone as its default device name, which is HTC Vision. CM7 has

always

been this way.

[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
Hey i will try to be as precise as possible. I'm posting in this section because in the general section the help isn't as effective as here.

Here is my problem:

A few days ago i flashed GB MIUI on my Milestone 2 everything worked perfectly and i used the phone a whole day. That night i've put the phone to charge and went to bed. Il the morning when i push the power button the phone didn't boot. I was stuck at the first M bootscreen (Red at the time).

I wasn't able to do anything no recovery the phone didn't seem to be charging so i decided to flash Stock FR SBF (One i used many times)

Once completed i let the phone tying to Boot for about one hour. After that i pulled the battery out and tried to get to recovery but no success. Holding the X button while booting wasn't getting me to recovery because the wouldn't get pass the First Moto bootscreen (Recovery open after that).

So i've flashed since then a handful of SBF from and-developpers:

2.2 FR

2.2 CH

2.2 UK

2.2.2 FR

2.2.2 CH

2.2.2 UK

2.2.2 Hong Kong

2.2 China

Official GB Leak signed

Still wasn't able to get throught the first moto bootscreen.

r2beta0 had an idea so if someone can please help me get through this. I think i'm done with flashing things...

I tried holding X button while i plug the phone the Wall charger but no sucess either. I just can't get to the screen with the Exclamation point...

I've tried to be as precise as possible to help people who will or already tried to help me. Please don't delete my thread or move it after i've put so much effort in this...

I've search in hundreads of threads around different forum XDA is my last chance...

I thanks everyone who will take some time to help me or even at least read this.
[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
I don't know if this is going to help, but you could try that anyway:

- Download MotoAndroidDepacker (utility to unpack/repack SBF's)

- Choose one stock SBF (2.2 FR for example)

- Open and unpack it with the utility

- Rename CG66.smg to CG37.smg (you are going to use preinstall image as data image, both are ext3, but has different sizes. Don't know if it's going to work).

- Use utility to open folder with unpacked images and repack it

- Put phone in bootloader mode and flash the repacked SBF (rebuilt/firmware.sbf)

- Post results here :)
[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
I just did it no results still the same!

I don't think it looks good.

I didn't pull out the battery yet i wan't to give it a chance. I'll edit this post
[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
Something is very wrong with your phone. I think your best bet is to reflash stock SBF and send your phone to warranty.
[Milestone 2 General] Emacore:
Did you try other options "dumb"? For example, change the simcard, change the sdcard, charge the battery with other alternative (universal charger)
[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
I removed the sim card removed the sdcard, charge the battery with a milestone 1 avec two different charger. No results

@r2beta0 i think you are right i'll wait i someone help me until tomorrow evening if not i'll send it back to moto.
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Have you tried to use sbf_flash on linux/mac?

Sent from my Milestone 2 XDA App
[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
I think i'm going to try that. Will report later ;)
[Milestone 2 General] EVEALEX62:
I have the same probleme .... And this don't work for me too..... :(
[Milestone 2 General] pat972:
Alex, same problem ? What happened ? with the rom MS2ginger ? Two french guys , it is weird ! Hope mine won't go that way !
[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
I've tried Linux but no result... We are 3 french who have the exact same probleme it can't be Hardware?

Our Milestone 2 are somewhat different than others... I've phoned motorola for my problem today they told me to send it to a partner repair center but he warned me that if they discover i did something to the phone it will cost my a lot of money...

I'm sending it monday morning i'm really hoping for a solution before than...
[Milestone 2 General] will5:
Im not sure about service sbf vs the one that wipes user data. We have that kind of sbf for m2?

On the other side, looks like ROM chip go bad.
[Milestone 2 General] pat972:
I'll ask some obvious question...you did not have any errors when flashing ? it always complete the process? Can you get into the bootloader when it print version 70.12 or 70.13 ?

Another obvious thing, did you verify md5 after downloading sbf ?
[Milestone 2 General] EVEALEX62:
No I go to MIUI yesterday... very bad news................................ I hope find a solution.............

RSDLite don't finish, I must deconecte and reboot bootlader manually and replug to got "pass" result !!

Bootloader is the 70.13

And the SBF is good because I alway use this file (don't download new)

.................. PLEASE HELP ..................
[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
So it happenned both to us when we intalled MIUI so the problem is MIUI. Because i was using CM7 since Endless7 post the instruction avec Defy's ROM. And the phone was perfect...

We both have French Milestone 2 and i don't think it is my fault. I quite shure i did everything straight. I maybe a noob in dev or other things. But I have experience in flashing things...

My bootloader is 70.12 so it's different than Alex. And i used just like Alex the French Stock sbf i used everything i needed a freash clean install

When i flash i get to the "Please reboot phone manually" like everytime and then pull the battery go to bootloader and get finish
[Milestone 2 General] Motodoido:
I had problems with miui too. After install MIUI and try back to MS2Ginger, phone dont boot, stuck at the first M bootscreen. So I try a full wipe and same problem, stuck at the first M. Mine bootloader was 70.12, so I flash the 70.13 and the spanish 2.2.2 sbf, and after a data and cache wipe, phone boot again.

Note: After flash a sbf, I dont remove the battery and pull again to get "Pass" on RSD Lite... just waiting to finish the process and disconnect the phone
[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
My phone is supposed to have the 70.12 bootloader right? If i flash the new one won't the repair center see that i modified the software?

The is no 70.12 bootloader on and-developper so how do i get back?

My phone doesn't not get to PASS it never did even in past... Except when i could do a wipe data and cache before flash
[Milestone 2 General] Motodoido:
If you flash the 70.13 you do not be able to back to 70.12, so think before. When RSD is in reboot your phone 30%, I always remove my phone and never have problems

If you want try, here is the 70.13
[Milestone 2 General] pat972:
The bootloader for the sbf 2.2.2 is 70.13 ! I remenber well, i did the official update on a windows pc, and it started by updating bootloader! But it's good news and may be just some sort of sbf incompatibility with the bootloader...just find the correct ones?
[Milestone 2 General] EVEALEX62:
What is the good news ????
[Milestone 2 General] EVEALEX62:
It's good for me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yououououououououououou !!!!!!!!!!

I don't know if all this is nécessary but it's what I have doing .....

1rst, I have full charge my battery !

I have do this (all step 1 to 11 because "boot up the phone manually" ) with the sbf 2.2.2 officiel but modify whith this post :

The first time don't work but the second time it's good !!!!

So BIG thanks to all people have help (pat972, Atomos33,Emacore,dangpzanco,will5, motodoido) , but especially to r2beta0 et Mikevhl
[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
You are lucky... It didn't work even if i had for the first time since 3 day some hope that it will work.

By the way after flash did you got stuck at the first moto screen? Or you want to the moto animation?

After Flashing the 2.2.2 fr you pushed the Button power + X button? If so how long?

How did you charge you battery if the M2 wasn't charging it?

French:

Au fait dis moi après le Flash tu t'es retrouvé bloqué au premier logo motorola celui en noir et blanc? Ou tu vois l'animation Motorola?

Après avoir flasher la 2.2.2 fr tu a bien appuyer le bouton Power et le X ? Si oui pendant combien de temps?

Comment tu a charger ta batterie si le M2 ne la chargeait pas ?
[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
Have you flashed the fixed sbf from ms2ginger again? You may not know but miui and ms2ginger uses different kernels, so one may not boot the other. My miui have all images attached to update.zip, meaning that you flash a new kernel everytime you apply the update. Ms2ginger requires rsd lite flashing.
[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
Turn phone off and plug wall charger (not usb). Let it be for long hours even if the phone doesn't show batt icon. If the phone turns on automagically try to make it stay off.
[Milestone 2 General] EVEALEX62:
Sorry I just come back :)

My motorola got the animation but Mlogo ==> animated ==> Mlogo ==> animated

and don't stop ! !!!!

After Flashing the 2.2.2 fr (modify whith R2beta0 post) I push X button (and power but don't press power after I see my moto boot) since I see the exclamation point (less than 30s but don't know exactly). At this moment I push on the @

So for the battery I have a universal chargeur (like this) It's more useful ... It's the second time it's help me to charge when I bricked a phone :)

I hope it will go as for you, but frankly there is no reason!! Courage!

French :

Excuse je viens seulement de rentrer..

J'avais l'animation de boot mais ça tourné en boucle logo ==> animation ==> logo ... et ça ne s'arrêter pas !

Après avoir flashé le sbf 2.2.2 (modifié avec l'astuce de R2beta0) j'appuis sur le "x" sans le lâcher, j'enclenche la batterie et j'appui sur "power" le temps de l'allumer. Pour le "x" je ne le lâche que quand je voie le petit bonhomme android avec le "!" dans un triangle . (je ne sais pas combien de temps mais moins de 30s je pense) . Après j'appui sur le "@" et tu obtiens un recovery (assez basique mais très utile).

Pour la batterie, j'ai un chargeur universelle ( comme celui-ci ) qui est très utile ... C'est la 2eme fois qu'il m'aide en cas de brickage !!

J'espère que ça va aller aussi pour toi mais franchement ya pas de raison !!!! Courage !
[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
As opposed to you i never went to the moto animation so no recovery ;)

I'm done with this phone, if they repair the phone without cost i think i'm going to sell it and get back to Windows Phone which can be found for 150€ here in Craigslist if i can't find one an HTC or Samsung Android device...

If they wan't more than 50€ i'll leave them the phone i'll stick with an Nokia 3310.

Thanks for all your help it was a pleasure! The M2 community has just started wish you all good luck!

Special thanks to r2beta0 who has try alot to same my M2!

I hope the SAV works for you !!! ...and less expansive !!:o
[Milestone 2 General] rsb007:
I had a same problem with my girlfriend phone (MS2). Here's how I solved that problem doing that:

You will need a spare USB cable (will be cut). Any printer or scanner ones.

Cut the end that has the square plug (not the computer flat plug side)

Strip the red and black wires. Red is Vcc (+5) and black is ground. Get the 2 other wires and excessive out of the way.

Remove the battery and you will see 4 contact pins on the phone that the battery contact pins goes to (it flexes up and down).

Hook the red usb wire (+5) to the far left pins (towards the camera flash).

Hook the black usb wire (ground) to the far right (towards the sim card).

Make sure the red is not touching any other metal except the pin. If necessary, secure with electrical tape.

Verify the connections by looking at the polarity label on the battery itself.

Plug the usb into the computer and that should solve the battery problem.

Plug the USB data cable to your phone and reflash or do whatever you need to do.

Make sure you unplug the cable from the computer before removing the wires from the pins.

Basically, it's just bypassing the battery. Hopes that helps.

[Milestone 2 General] ArseneLupin:
same here

Same problem here... no way to reflash it with rsd lite...

Error message says "Full error message: Failed flashing process. phone(0000) Phone is not compatable with multi-interface super-file. (ox703b): phone connected"

Does anybody have any other ideas?

Thanks dudes
[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
Very odd. Sorry to ask obvious questions, but we need to be sure you have the basic stuff working:

- Have you flashed this phone before? (Are you sure you have the correct drivers for it?)

- Was your phone started in bootloader mode (with phone off press and hold up key on physical keyboard then turn it on)?

- Is your battery full?

- Is your phone a Milestone2 (A953 or ME722)?

- Is your RSD Lite version 4.9?
[Milestone 2 General] Atomos33:
I need to tell people that since this i've sent my M2 at Moto's repair center and they replaced many things. After that i've sold my M2 but i'm not the only one who have this problem...

I've receive PM of people that have the same Issue. People need to check if in the case of the M2 flashing does not harm the device after several Flash.

I don't own the device anymore but i thought i had to warn people just in case!

had almost the same problem

what i did?

1. i root my ms2 with superoneclick

2. install droid2 bootstrap 1.0.0.5 and did a backup

3. flash it with cm72-111215.1631-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-GB-v1.3

4. install Signed_Old_market+Enabler-v2.zip which makes my ms2 keep getting hang

5. did a restore using my previous backup in clockword mod

i couldnt load pass the blue M logo with a bunny

could only get to android system recovery

any help would be deeply appreciated

milestone stuck at M logo with bunny

Hi all,

i am facing serious problem right now. i just install CM7.1 final version but didnt feel its ok. so i want to change it back to original rom. what i did is i use the bootstrap loader to boot recovery my milestone2, then the device stuck at bunny and blue M logo. tried to take off battery but no effect, still stuck at blue M logo with bunny. please advise what can i do?
[Milestone 2 General] ajb12376:
You can't install bootstrap in cm7 or MIUI, or if you already have CWM higher than v2 I think... But yeah, that'll always brick your phone - you can't install two recoveries on your phone. Can you get into bootloader mode?
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Just enter bootloader:

1) take off battery

2) connect USB

3) press vol down + camera button

4) while still pressing these, insert battery

5) you should see black screen with white text (hooray, you're in bootloader mode)

Now start RSDLite and flash correct SBF (if you had Froyo, flash Froyo - if you had GB, flash UK GB SBF - not argentina one!)

And then all over again - root, bootstrap, bootmenu etc etc.
[Milestone 2 General] gsm_unlock:
Hi.

I have a A953 and flash 3 times using RSD 5.0 all ok but phone only power in bootmode, only black screen and show "S Flash OMAP3630" in RSD.

Any way to repair this phone?
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
I had this issue too. I've simply flashed GB SBF and phone booted.

Are you sure, that the SBF flash in RSD completed successfully?

I would say, that it is almost impossible to brick M2, since even with black screen, you still can get into bootloader and restore it via correct SBF...
