Search for "stock kb2 adam outler"

Then after you get back to stock, stay that way until you have done about 12 more hrs of research and reading. You were lucky that you didn't hard brick your phone, and you don't realize it. Don't just flash something because you"think"it will fix it. Know what you are flashing and what it will do to your phone. And you can call me an a#&h&$#if you want, but i believe most of the regular users here would agree me.

Totally agree !!

suoh18, If....wow....whoa....dude don't be so trigger happy to flash. You were this " | " <---(that is a thin thin line by the way) to having a brick.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crt60:
They need to get rid of that 3 button fix, its bricked more phones than I know, it should include both bootloaders and not just the one, I would contact Adam Outler like mrhaley said, to see if he can help, 3 button fix brick may require a jtag.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suoh18:
I know I was.. I was just reading what everyone was saying how easy it was.. it was my first flash and I guess it just back fired on me.. x_x

I really appreciate your help a ton, you have no clue how thankful I am.

I'm downloading what I need right now and I'm praying it works, thank you again so much.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suoh18:
I just used the program.. and it very well got my phone back on the right track. The boot looping stopped, it's back on the recovery mode that I can actually use, but after it loads it just goes to a black screen and keeps vibrating, I read that if it doesn't work the first time to check the flash bootloaders button. so I'm going to reboot one more time, then try that.

Thanks a ton guys, you really are great.

EDIT:

Which I think I need to do, because I still have a weird Galaxy S starting screen that appeared after I tried to flash serendipity.

EDIT 2:

Okay, After re-flashing the bootloaders it removed that screen that shouldn't have loaded, but I still get a black screen after the boot and nothing shows up..

I can enter and exit my recovery and download modes fine..

EDIT3:

Okay.. I went back into recovery mode and literally just wiped everything I could.. cache, user data, internal card, and after I rebooted again, viola it worked.

I'm so happy and I am seriously very appreciative. You guys are great and there has always been a reason why I respect this community so much.

Thanks again everyone that helped me, I don't know how much I can say it, but really, thank you so so so much, you are amazing.

This is my first live wallpaper.

This LWP works best on a HDPI Device with a 4" screen.

The screenshots below were taken on a LDPI Device (Samsung Galaxy Y, 3" screen)

Screenshots and comments on a HDPI Device (Samsung Galaxy S, or other big-screen phones) are highly appreciated.

If anyone can convert this to a bootlogo, I have attached the images that were used. (Needs conversion to .jpg, images are in .png)

I have been trying to install Chainfire3D on the phone however, when I click to install it stays Installing ... Mounting /system read/write ... forever. Doesn't move.

Superuser requests permission, I click allow, it says Chainfire has been granted permission, but still no luck.

Never had this problem before, always used to install. But, not this time, any help?

Been searching around, but found no answer.

I tried to flash my MS2, but now I have no boot and no access to the phone.

Story:

- root via paxChristos' Linux Port of DooMLoRD's Easy Rooting Toolkit

- backup via Titanium Backup

- backup via Bootstrap

- installed CyanogenMod and the nightly build cm_droid2_full-139.zip

- realized ... it is the wrong Mod, because for Druid2 and I have a Milestone2 = not the same

- sudo ./sbf_flash MILS2_U6_2.2.16_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E100A.0R_USXMILE20RTDACH_P016_A005_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf

And now, I have a dead phone ... even could not start it. It is just a black screen and nothing more! :(

The only thing that show "life" is the LED on the side of the USB-Cable plug!

I also tried Vol-Up/Dwon + Camera, Arrow-Up + Power On, x + Power On ... with and without USB-Cable!

Is there a way to flash the phone anyway?

Would be nice to have a little help!
[Milestone 2 General] sasch42:
A little more info:

Plug in USB cable and lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 013: ID 22b8:4280 Motorola PCS

Long press on the power button and lsusb:

no Motorola

Keep USB cabel in the phone, unplug the batterie and plug in back ... lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 015: ID 22b8:4280 Motorola PCS

And more info:

[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Your only chance is SBF right now. Hold camera, vol down and power together, which can brings up bootloader mode and then flash it via RSDLite, because sbf_flash did not worked for me.
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
I made the same mistake myself back in the day :p.

I could get into bootloader no worries though... are you sure you didn't drain the battery or something?

Just seems pretty odd that you could remove an impossible to unlock, locked bootloader :confused:
[Milestone 2 General] sasch42:
First of all ... thanks for helping me!

Nothing happend ... screen is black, LEDs are off!

Battery should be ok, it also don't work with Charger on!

If it is impossible to remove the locked bootloader, why can I still not boot?! :(
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
If the device bricked only a black screen shows up. This is bootloader mode. RSDLite will recognise your phone and flash an SBF.
[Milestone 2 General] sasch42:
Damn ... just bought a used one on eBay and now I have my old one fixed! *lol*

Thanks to you all ..

I used my laptop with Windows7 and RDS light from Chip Online

Then I used the SBF Version 2.3.4!

reboot ...DONE ... Milestone2 worked again!

But ...

root via zergRush_automated_Linux_root

Installed bootstrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk from SD-Card because:

$ sudo ./adb push bootstrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk /system/app/

failed to copy 'bootstrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk' to '/system/app//bootstrap-1.0.0.5-droid2.apk': Read-only file system

reboot

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

installzip from sdcard (cm7-111129-2153-NIGHTLY-Milestone2.zip)

reboot ... black screen again! :(

Maybe the bootstrap installation is the problem?!
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
I think the message is very clear. The bootstrapper never installed to begin with. Second of all, why are installing the bootstrapper like that? Instead of copying it to your SD-Card and execute it from the file browser on your phone. It will be installed, after which you should execute it. It will ask for root access when you press the bootstrap button. You give it and then you press the button Reboot Recovery. Then you'll be in CWM. You can't install CM7 from Motorola's recovery, which is what you've been doing all the time.

Further: Endless7 has written a guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310641

I'd suggest you follow it, and if you don't understand something ask it.
[Milestone 2 General] sasch42:
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Okay, actual I have my MS2 with the original sbf and I wait until my second MS2 is here.

Then I try to install CM!

Never the less I have questions, just to be sure.

When I install the droid2bootstrap, I just copy the file to the sdcard and then install it at the phone?! Is this correct?

Then the HowTo says: 3.open droid2bootstrap and select install recovery

But there is nothing like "install recovery" to select. There is just a screen with two buttons (Bootstrap Recovery and Reboot Recovery) ... I think "Bootstrap Recovery" first, then reboot?

If I do the steps above, I have an bootloader installed on my phone?! Which I can start with the volume buttons at bootup?

Wow, I have to learn a lot about Android phones! I read the wiki, but asking questions will help me more! :)

Thanks to you all!
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
What you described is correct except the startup with volume buttons.

You have to use the Reboot Recovery button to get in CWM, where you can flash CM7.

And just for the record: every phone has a bootloader installed, otherwise it wouldn't be able to boot an OS. Fact is that you can't replace it on the Milestone 2.

Don't mix up Recovery and Bootloader. They're different things.
[Milestone 2 General] ZyrByt:
bootstrap is not copied to /system/app , adb said "failed to copy...".

maybe copy it do /data/app ?

You wiped data and cache.. how about dalvik?
[Milestone 2 General] sasch42:
Because the copy failed, I installed the app from the sdcard (/data/app was also read only).

But as described here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1310641) I used the wrong app!

IMHO it is the same to copy the app via adb or install it from sdcard?!
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
What the shizzle, you are making it so hard for yourself.

If you simply place the .apk file onto the root of you SD card, then using your phone, open the .apk, install it, then open the installed app, you will have no problems at all. I'm not sure of your motivation to try other methods when it allready works fine :D

Also, i would say that since it has apparently failed for you, no it isn't the same ;)

EDIT: on a side note, it would seem you flashed the official gingerbread sbf, so now you will only be able to use the gingerbread kernel roms. Which is pretty much the cm9 alpha version, endless 7's cm7 defy port. Not really sure about the other gb rom (argen2stone, blurless etc). So make sure you read up on what you need and what will work
[Milestone 2 General] sasch42:
Have you read all the posts?

My mistake was ti follow this guide.

And my way to install the app was, to copy it tio the sdcard because the method in the guid didn't work! :)

Milestone 2 Bricked

Hello friend, i am having the same problem then you...

It only show black screen and the led on the side of the usb cable and i also tried Vol-Up/Dwon + Camera, Arrow-Up + Power On, x + Power On ... with and without USB-Cable, as you and nothing...

Can you help me? please!
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Do you have RSDLite? If yes, then RSDLite should detect your phone as it is already in bootloader mode (the black screen). You can flash an SBF at this point.

Download an appropriate one, if you were on Froyo then Froyo and in case you had upgraded to Gingerbread then download a GB SBF.

Flash the SBF. You would probably end up in a bootloop. Go to moto recovery, wipe data and boot. You should be good to go.

Edit: I believe that only GB sbf is gonna work for you as I suspect that you were somehow on GB and then tried to flash Froyo which led you to the black screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaetawoo:
Launcher Pro will let you make shortcuts of Actions, so look for Voice Search and then click the one that says RecognitionActivity. That's all! Not sure if all widgets, launchers whatever have access to Launcher Pro Action Shortcuts (obviously it has to be installed even if you don't use it) but I use WaveLauncher and it had access to it. It even stays after I uninstalled Launcher Pro.

on the post of the same exact name by jznomoney. I wanted to ask but because i just made my profile i cant :mad:

my question is: does this release have 4G enabled on it? i cant download and find out for myself until january 12th when my data cap resets. :mad: :mad:
[LG Thrill 4G] jznomoney:
cyanogenmod does not show a 4g icon like the stock rom. It will only show a H. So you will still have 4g without the icon.
[LG Thrill 4G] nagalman:
I see the H as well. According to Speedtest.net app, I got 2247kbps down and 442kbps up. Post number 4 (what a very arbitrary rule).
[LG Thrill 4G] mystagog_inc:
My wife and I both purchased the LG Thrill with promises from ATT store clerks of the android updates, in September. Now I don't know about you others, but we are pretty pissed off with ATT & LG. In most states, the law says that even a verbal contract IS a binding contract! I believe then, that those two companies are in breach of contract then. Besides, we all know the store clerks fib to make a sale/commission. That's ATT's problem. Their employees represent the company and speak for the company and clearly they've lied to hundreds of us.

We propose we start a nationwide class action lawsuit against both or one or the other, LG and ATT.

Think about it, hundreds of lied to customers.... it's an easy win for us in any court. Refunded contracts? And monthly payments?

Let me know what you think, please. We are serious about doing this. We need just basics to get it rolling. Name, contact info, purchase details, and the lies you were told. Message me for more details! Peace brothers and sisters.

Sent from my phone, duh...
[LG Thrill 4G] Tidbits:
Most companies DO NOT allow reps to make a promise on behalf of the company unless written documentation is provided with the promise from the company. Due to those stipulations you don't really have a case against AT&T but you do have a case against the rep who did make the claim.
[LG Thrill 4G] mystagog_inc:
I appreciate your comments. I think I would have to disagree though. I am a military veteran and now work in the oilfield and I can honestly say that once you put on that company uniform and your clock starts ticking, you are the company.

That's why some people in the spotlight resign once a bad image begins developing on them, to save face with whom they work for and represent.

Sent from my phone, duh...
[LG Thrill 4G] Tidbits:
I am a going by what is law. Think about it for a minute. Someone could infiltrate a workplace make promises and then quit. Now the company should be held liable for all those promises? A company can seriously get screwed by that scenario. This is why you hear that line "Get it in writing".
[LG Thrill 4G] lastdeadmouse:
Didn't Google get it in writing? Plus, I was also told gb was coming in a couple weeks when I purchased my phone back in September.

Sent from my almost cm7 p925
[LG Thrill 4G] Tidbits:
Nope Google didn't get it in writing, and neither did you. If you listened to the CES. There was no start date stated, and they just "founded" a team to set guidelines.

I say go ahead and sue it doesn't matter to me much, but you CAN'T base your lawsuit based on what a rep said especially when they are NOT authorized to make a promise for the company without having it in writing from the company.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qlyG7cc8bA

there's the link. Honestly everyone expects since the release of this information that it would happen with the start of ICS devices. Current devices probably would get GB or ICS and that's it. Google does say devices from this point forward will receive updates in a "timely" way... Though they haven't even set those guidelines yet... Then it will be a question of what is timely? Kind of like that word "Soon" it could mean now til the end of the world if you know what I mean.
[LG Thrill 4G] BigCiX:
Am I the point of just waiting for an announcement for Nexus to hit at&t. Although I love the phone for its build and specs the updates on any android device (besides Nexus) is a big letdown and Google isn't doing anything about it. It should not take no more then 2 months to release an update for any phone if a team is dedicated to build it.
[LG Thrill 4G] tedjacob10:
why not?

i think a lawsuit would be good even if we wouldnt win. i will give my information up ic you were serious, pm me when you are ready. either way i dont see how this could hurt anything, this phone really sucks with froyo and i feel like i wasted my upgrade, yeah ive been pissed for a while
[LG Thrill 4G] jznomoney:
AT&T contracts do not allow class action lawsuit. But it does say on lg site for the thrill that is is upgradable to gingerbread.
[LG Thrill 4G] mystagog_inc:
If that is true, we as consumers can still sue, independently if so. However, since the lawsuit would be on the basis of "breaching contract", then any clause they have prohibiting class action would be null and void, so to speak. I have studied contract law some years back and know a little about this. Did a corporate executive ever personally sign your contract? No. That's one key element in contract; a meeting of the minds. A computer cannot represent a person like this in contract. There are four simple basics in contract. ATT has violated their end of it, whether by neglect or false advertising or false promises. A rep of ATT is the face of the company. So what if they get fired for lieing to the customer and it causes a major lawsuit, their bad, their bad for lying to get a deal made.
[LG Thrill 4G] CXENTE:
I guess LG and AT&T failed to give us GB...
[LG Thrill 4G] Tidbits:
Say I worked for you and you gave me no authorization to make any form of promise. I promised on your companies behalf that the first 100 people to private message me would get a $1,000,000. Would you honor it? Easy answer would be no you would not. It's the same thing when I was recruited into the USN. I didn't get any written documentation that I would be stationed here in the pacific at Pearl Harbor. The Navy recruiter is no longer a recruiter and in the Navy because he made a whole bunch of promises that he was not authorized to make for people that he wasn't authorized to make.

I have been down this road before and I am telling you now there is no "breach" of contract if a rep was not authorized.

As for the "meeting of minds" part of the contract. You don't have to be face to face for that to be honored.

[LG Thrill 4G] TylDurden:
Class action lawsuits benefit one person. The lawyers. By all means put strain on a company to get some assholes paid to represent you. I'll continue to wait (not so) patiently or move on to another phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:
And the other thing is the vast majority of Thrill or really any phone owners don't really care that much about updates as long as their phone is working okay.
[LG Thrill 4G] eg94:
@donavo same here my first Android phone and I regret it only because its filled with

bugs and crashes because of froyo and at&t had said it would be updated within the month so I didn't return it for the galaxy s2 what a mistake that was..
[LG Thrill 4G] rydeN-:
In all honesty, count me in. I've studied Android in the past and was aware of the "GB Update After Release".

We are left in a rut, it seems as if LG is more suited to support the Euro version of this phone than anything more, if I have to I might just grab a Samsung Captivate Glide tomorrow. I was promised GB! I've waited, not **** has happened since.

I'm probably just gonna go for an Easier phone and let you guys deal with this.

But just in case, PM me I will give info! I love this phone.

In all my last words 'If there's no GB, we'll make our own ROMs'

RIGHT? WE STAND AS ON TEAM! SOMEONE GO GET US SOME DEVS.......
[LG Thrill 4G] hotdog32836:
We are not looking to be awarded money, we want at&t to start caring about their customers. If that benefits a lawyer along the way, good for him, its his job.

[LG Thrill 4G] mystagog_inc:
Heck, an attorney with a new Thrill might do it just for the update, jk. But really, I would be looking for an organization that's willing to represent us all. Surely there's one out there for us consumers. Also though, we can hire an attorney on contingency. That would be very good.
[LG Thrill 4G] kiltedthrower:

Guys I hate to be the Debbie Downer in all this. And by all means go for a class action lawsuit if y'all feel you need to do that.

But the truth is AT&T has never officially said when they would release GB. All they've said is that the phone will be upgradeable to GB. We're still only 120 days since this phone was released. And, yes, ICS has been released. So a lot of you are upset because we're two behind now. Except AT&T doesn't have any official ICS devices out.

I feel it's more the fault of LG for not releasing this phone with GB.

Anyway, I want updates just as much as the next person. But having been with AT&T for 8 years now, I can tell you that AT&T will prob never have super fast updates. The fastest updates I've ever gotten were from HTC phones and they were done from the HTC site itself.

I just seriously doubt anyone will win on suing AT&T for not updating this phone as fast as some of you want when there wasn't any contract out stating that AT&T woudl release GB within a time frame. Essentially there hasn't been any breach of contract.

No one is stuck with this phone. If you're having issues with it, get it replaced. If it's replaced more than twice, then you get a different device.

I think it might be just as effective to email corporate and let them know that you will never purchase another device from AT&T itself since it is not commited to timely updates and that if this continues you will be taking your business to (list a different carrier). Each person should get as many signatures as they can.
