Looks like you have a dev phone. There are a couple of forum users with dev phones :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] djlooka:
Does rsdlite recognize it? I think you should try to have a look in Motorola Defy Android Development: there is a thread named ''experimental: trying to unlock the bootloader " (look at pages 60-75) .

I think someone wrote about some particular roms to be flashed in case of unlocked phones....
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Canton_bgi:
Does anyone know a way to extract this bootloader??

If so, I believe that lowering the fastboot and giving the command would be possible to unlock the MS2;)

Fastboot => http://www.mediafire.com/?2zdhukq3ha1qlrd

1) "fastboot oem unlock" to see the Station ID

2) "fastboot oem unlock ID" to unlock the bootloader;)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] djlooka:
Hi everyone,

I'm following a thread about bootloader unlocking on the Defy section and scholbert suggested to make this little experiment:

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk1.raw bs=512 count=2048

then zip the raw file and upload it to the thread so that he can compare different dumps of that particular section of the rom, to discover a pattern which might lead to further understanding of how the lock works.

Source:
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lutis:
i think you can send PM to MKSilver.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] djlooka:
I already did ;)

Anyway I think the more dumps are posted, the better it is!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
Hey there,

well I just started to read the experimental thread of the defy section.

Problem may of course be, that my phone here is in bootloop and at the moment I'm back at my old Nokia 6230i :)

If new Information comes arround I will report it here.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] walter79:
Did you tried simply wipe via moto recovery?

Or flash different sbf.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
Have you tried the "fastboot oem unlock" command?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
First things first:

at any RSD lite Version my phone is recognized as: "NS Flash OMAP 3630"

I saw, that the behavior of the phone while flashing is different in how i access the bootloader.

I can go into BL through:

A) "X"+"arrow up"

or also

B) "vol+" + "vol-"

while using A) I got a normal bootloader modus.

while using B) I got fastboot modus bootloader.

may someone test this with his phone and post it here?

another special thing: I can only access recovery while pluging the phone into a wallloader and pressing x, with or without the battery.

without the loader pluged in, recovery is not coming.

While access with fastboot and using it:

C:\where\my\sdk\is> fastboot devices
################ fastboot

-> the # means each a hex sign.

C:\where\my\sdk\is> fastboot oem unlock
...
FAILED <remote failure>
finished total time: 0.03s

next point while flashing my phone with a SBF_Flash under linux, there was an error with a SBF File, which doesn't throw errors under Windows and RSD.

About the defy forum: still reading, cause i don't want to brick the phone more than it already is, while haven't read all the knowledge.

greetz
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
Well, I have bootloader 70.12. To get into BL I have 2 options:

1) arrow up

2) Camera + Volume down

Both ways leads to standard BL. Fastboot devices doesn't list my phone, just as before. I never tried to update my BL but I don't think it will do any difference.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] w0ndersp00n:
I've tried it with bootloader 70.13.

Only option A works to get into Bootloader mode (not Fastboot).
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
Next "funny" fact.

While Flashing SBF with "normal" bootlaoder modus, everythings works with RSD lite.

While Flashing SBF with "fastboot" bootloader modus, I get an error after creating image files:

"Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. Phone [0000]: Error getting subscriber unit information. Device API Error: 0xE0000042 Command: RQHW (0x0805041); phone connected"

Then is Result:"FAIL" and the phone stays in bootloader modus (fastboot).

May be I have wrong RSD lite calibration. Will investigate this, how it behaves in linux.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] DreadPirateDan:
Ok, so googling "unsigned motorola milestone 2 SBF" turned up this as the first

Perhaps if that link is dead you could ask endless7 if he would be so kind as to re-upload it, or perhaps it is available elsewhere.

I say this because I remember reading somewhere that once it's unlocked you can only use unsigned SBF's.. pretty sure it was the bootloader unlock progress thread in the defy forums.. but I'm sure it's been said in our forums too
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
Just wrote a pm to Endless7. If thats true, it could help me get this device work (even in chinese) and than i can take a look forward, while using adb for example.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] DreadPirateDan:
Hopefully!

Does anyone else know fo any other unsigned sbf's kickin around the web possibly better than a chinese one?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
Dan,

I'm not sure, but I don't think he is limited to flashing only unsigned stuff. The difference from developer phone to production phone, besides fastboot, is that the first one doesn't check signatures during boot chain. Theoretically speaking he is able to flash and boot any Milestone2 ROM he likes. I also suspect that he is able to downgrade from gingerbread to froyo, unlike us. There should be something else preventing him to boot the phone. That's just my opinion and it maybe wrong :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
Hey guys,

well enough is enough, bought today a second phone for the time the m2 is still dead.

I'm about to finish the defy thread today. Already learned a lot.

Well it is correct that i can flash signed SBFs. While booting into "normal" BL Mode.

But i can also boot into Fastboot and the RSD Lite Name starting with NS seems to show me something special.

So i risk something today and flash a froyo: It worked but still bootloops. The flash was successful and the M Logo turned gray.

At GB it is Red at my M2.

But now it would be great for an unsigned SBF, some more Ideas how to get it boot, or how to manipulate it over fastboot to get it work. Cause without get it into Android we can't go on analyse the bootloader.

PLZ help me. Will also ask a guy from the defy thread, who seems to know a lot about the milestone 1 and bootloaders/OMAP cpus. May he has a great idea what he wrote there was very clever and full of knowledge.

Greetz
[Milestone 2 Android Development] DreadPirateDan:
True! but in the original thread we've just about exhausted ideas.. figure it's worth a shot anyways.

I just wonder if it was some mad-sciencetist's phone and he was trying all sorts of kooky attempts to unlock the bootloader or something (ie, it's not actually a dev phone and just a partially unlocked but perma-bricked phone). Of course the more logical explaintion would be he dropped it in the loo and fried some memory though

ALSO, have you been flashing these SBF's while in normal bootloader mode or fastboot?

According to Murphey's Law, your phone should start working any day now (now that you have a new one coming;))
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
I think he could try to flash an official Retail GB SBF and do a data wipe through stock recovery. Also note that there is a thread saying GB SBF requires RSD Lite 5.0. It should be done on normal bootloader mode.

If it doesn't work just try to unpack the SBF (with moto depacker) and flash system/recovery/cdt/boot/devtree using fastboot commands.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
can I just rename the depacked CG31.smg into cdt.img?

Don't know so much about depacking and rebuilding.

When I depack for example a 2.3.4 DE retail, there is a boot.img/recovery.img/system.img but no cdt or devtree img, only the CG31 and CG61 files in smg.

greetz

Just flashed those files u suggest:

boot, recovery and devtree went fine.

got errors in system and cdt

cdt:

sending 'cdt' <18 KB>...

OKAY [0.004s]

writing 'cdt'...

<bootloader> no such partition

FAILED <remote failure>

finished. total time: 0.795s

system:

sending 'system' <334594 KB>

OKAY [21.498s]

writing 'system'...

<bootloader> image bigger than partition

FAILED <remote failure>

finished. total time 21.821s

So it seems that my system partition is to small and cdt has no partition defined.

How do I make/change partitions with bootloader...hahaha.

Next questions are,

which vars are defined in the bootloader (gevar command in fastboot)

how do I use flashall command, fastboot asks about -p option (error: neither -p product specified nor ANDROID_PRODUCT_OUT set), may be I use it not correct.

In which files of android is the kernel stored? boot.img isn't it? Could start kernel (M Logo) but don't had luck access it with adb. May be ssh would work?

Are the kernel base adress and the page size known and what does that mean?

Will go on, just finished the defy thread, but now I have to learn a lot more about fastboot, builds and how android is working and with which adresses which partition is starting. So may u devs help me with information and may be even files. singed or unsigned doesn't matter for me right now. the bootloader eats all files and it goes fine oder it throwes errors, but the phone doesn't brick.

greetz
[Milestone 2 Android Development] thmedia:
I think you can't flash system becouse the file is to big for fastboot. Try the special moto version "moto-fastboot", look in the atrix forum. I am not sure about this but I had an error when I tried to flash system to my atrix with normal fastboot, using moto-fastboot worked. Hope I cloud help.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] t0desicy:
Hi Guys,

a new challanger appears.

would the OP please be so kind to make a full dump of his phone?

also tell me the OMAPInfo please.

I just got my Milestone 2 (I bricked my Defy trying to unlock the BL and told the vendor RSDLite failed, they had no Defys left and gave me a MS2...)

Will continue trying around on the Milestone2 now.

If the locked MS2's and the unlocked one are sharing the same PKEYs, we may have a chance unlocking our phones.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Lutis:
cg31 is cdt and cg61 is devtree
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
Yes, you can rename the CG*.smg files to the corresponding image names. Take a look here to guide you through the names:

http://and-developers.com/partitions:cdt

You can try different SBF files to see if you have different results. Download versions from here:

http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
Hey,

just tried to flash system and cdt partition with moto-fastboot... same result: errors.

So at the moment I can't flash system or cdt with fastboot.

Will go on reading about usage of fastboot.

Do someone of u know how I can set partitions, partitionadresses or log into the phone via ssh.

The ssh idea is because it seems, that I can start the kernel via fastboot using:

fastboot boot <kernel> [ <ramdisk>]

greetz
[Milestone 2 Android Development] djlooka:
Have another look at the Defy unlocking thread (it's a goldmine even for us MS2 owners), and in particular here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22075582&postcount=858

You might try to build that special cable (actually it's just a modded micro-usb cable) which seems to have resurrected a Moto Zoom tablet...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] t0desicy:
I soldered it for my old defy.

you can flash SBFs without battery inside

works on the Milestone 2

can't do anything else!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
Sorry, I don't have much expertise with fastboot. As I'm not as lucky as you, my phone doesn't support that premium feature :) I wish you good luck in your quest!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
So some more "new" information.

I managed to flash all files but system and bpsw.

I used moto-fastboot and in both files it comes the error: unknown command, what seems a little strange.

Does any of u have the idea, how we could dump the bootloader or get the needed information from the phone to open the bl without adb shell or working android?

still it would be great to get a full dump of an android system with all image files. coz what i start to flash is based on the known SBF dumps.

The second idea is still not tested: i can boot a kernel from fastboot. but how to get on the phone and this hopefully working kernel, to command it through terminal from my pc.

greetz
[Milestone 2 Android Development] r2beta0:
You could try to dump the bootloader using fastboot. If it has a command to write images it should have other command to read them.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Amir4Life:
Finally... lol

Yes I have same, exactly the same problem as you : i can access to fastboot, i can access android recovery only when plugged to wall, and it happened right after official update with motorola update tool...

Won't discourage you but my phone is in bootloop mode since 1 year, i did surrender 3 months after many tries.

I convinced myself it was hardware problem ( memory ), better luck to you bro.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Skrilax_CZ:
"NS Flash OMAP 3630" means engineering device (NS = Not Secure => no signatures enforced). DON'T flash regular bootloader (it won't work, you have a special BL with fastboot support) and NEVER use any kind of official update tools, always update manually via custom recovery or RSD Lite.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Amir4Life:
Thx , but too late for me, unless you can tell me where to find that "special BL with fastboot support" SBF?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
true,

such a special SBF would be my lucky shot for the phone. it is a little sad, that we've had no luck to find some help here. seems that i need to get a new mainboard or sell the phone.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Skrilax_CZ:
I have ones only for Defy and MS1 :p

I'll ask about it - don't flash anything!
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
@ Skrilax_CZ: It would be great, if u could take a look.

Another nice feature was: Power up while holding D-Key.

Full diagnosis of the phones CPCAP. Just started to read, what all this data means.

@ Amir4Life: What happens when u start up your phone while holding D-Key?

It seems a little, that the community has no real interest free the MS2 - a working engineering phone should be a great opportunity for that.

We'll see the next step with the help of Skrilax_CZ :) I hope so ;)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Amir4Life:
Hi,

It s been over 1 year that my MS2 was brick'd, never noticed what D-key would do,

I confirm it does the same diagnosis as you MKSilver...

lots of infos, did not understand a lot of that infos, it even diagnose the battery!

OK now wait and see, you giving me hope again...
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Skrilax_CZ:
Well so far I didn't get the special mbm for MS2. However, the eng. phone won't bring anything to others, it has advantage only for you, so you can run recovery normally and remove all the hacks, but you'll have to do it yourself.

On Eng. phones:

Hold:

F - fastboot mode

D - diagnosis mode (need to reflash bpsw after that!)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] MKSilver:
Hmm, that's a pity, so may be someone else will support a unsigned SBF aka Engineering MBM to us. If heard about a chinese SBF which will work on engineering devices, but had also no luck find it.
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Amir4Life:
Yep real pity, was thinking a phone with fastboot acces an that special diagnose screen can't be bricked so hard, but guess i was wrong...

please let me know if you get it to that so special sbf or mbm.

Questions?

My phone is AZERTY (fr keyboard, yours too ?)

D - diagnosis mode (need to reflash bpsw after that!) ?!!! what does it mean "bpsw"?

Some other weirds bout my phone:

*When doing some fastboot commands : fastboot getvar product , i get : product :umts_sholes ( i think it s product name for milestone 1)!

*the box i got from the seller is a milestone 1 box!!

*the IMEI written on the phone is a milesone1 's IMEI according to IMEI tracking site (motorola support page says it s not even recognised)!!!

do you have some clues, i m kinda lost, ( bootloader shows 70.13 version and the phone 'body' is a milestone 2 structure )

Hello!

Could someone please help me?

It seems I have Motorola Milestone 2 dev version (pressing volume keys + power will load fastboot bootloader 70.13)

I've flashed few SBF, but I'm always stuck on M logo.

I could only get access to recovery if the phone is attached to charger.

Wiping doesn't helps...

Could someone please tell where to download sbf for dev phone?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Rafael Aparecido Camilo:
if you flashed a new SBF file and it still stuck in M logo. then try to Wipe a full data factory reset from stock recovery menu.... i hope it'll solve ur problem it happened to me and it worked :)
[Milestone 2 Android Development] almador:
As I said in my previous message - wipe doesn't helps.

Also I've tried this method with 2.3.6. firmware

M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBRETBRB125LA001.0R_STABLE45LAMILETRETBR_P007_A019_M001_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf

No luck, still recovery is avaible only when device is plugged in to ac charger, still boot loop with M logo.

I've tried 4x wipe data - nothing changed.

Also I should mention that on front panel I see the logo "Verizon", but it definitely not Motorola Droid 2 Global (A956).

But I couldn't find any phone info under battery - only imei and some serial number which doesn't much anything in Google.

IMEI analyzing with few sites also doesn't give info about model.

Isn't fastboot used to unlock bootloader?
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Ashareth:
The current Moto script for unlocking bootloader requires fastboot yes, but even if they happens to manage to make their phones work (it'll be hard, since they seems to be unable to make progress after testing a LOT of things/scenario) it'll only be something that could work on dev phones, which practically no one have. :D
[Milestone 2 Android Development] Skrilax_CZ:
I believe somebody was here with need to get a "engineering phone" bootloader, so just in case if you're still here - uploaded dumps from my phone in attachment. This is not flashable sbf, just dumps:

1) Download stock BL 7013 from my site

2) Extract it with my SBF depacker

3) mbm is CG30.smg, bploader is CG32.smg: truncate the dumps to the size of the original ones and replace them with attachment (right, you're not flashing mbmloader)

4) Compile SBF and flash it with RSD Lite, now it should boot any production firmware.

Do at your own risk.

ONLY FOR ENIGNEERING PHONES - attempting to flash them to a production phone will result in a nice hardbrick, they are not singed (and still use eFuse & wiring to see if your phone is production or not).

Yeah thanks skrilax, but i already given the device for free to a friend for the pieces, maybe will help someone else, thanks again.

Hey. My G Tab is on its way from the USA. I live in Israel and we are using 220V voltage output here. I know that in the USA the voltage is 110V so I have to buy an adapter, but someone told me that the tablet decrease the voltage inside it to 110V, I mean, I dont have to buy a special voltage reducer adapter. Is that true?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] chili_red:
If you look close on the OEM adapter it does state input voltage of 110-220v, all you would need is the correct country plug for the adapter or buy a simple converter for the US plug and it should work fine.

Know this worked for my US laptop adapter while I was visiting Hong Kong.
