[Milestone 2 General] datatone:
A year or two so ago I updated my Motorola Milestone 2 to CyanogenMod, Android 4.1 I think, with no trouble.

I though that I'd take advantage of the CM11 (cm-11-20141003-UNOFFICIAL-milestone2.zip) and I attempted to upgrade to this.

I found that, after booting to the recovery utility, that would not accept this zip file. I noticed that czechop says:

Install my CM10.2 version >= 07.11.2013 first

So I installed cm-10.2-20140312-UNOFFICIAL-milestone2.zip and that went like a breeze. The phone booted up with the new version of Android. I then booted this into the recovery utility and found a new style of this ('Teamworks', I think) with a graphical interface. I found that this liked the cm11 zip file and it installed it without any apparent problem - it reported success and gave me two options - 'clear cache dalvik' (or something very similar), and 'reboot'. I opted for the clear cache, and that seemed to go OK, then I opted for 'reboot'.

This is where my heart sank, because the phone started to boot with the Motorola 'M' logo, then that faded out, then back in, then out. I see no little coloured LED light, and the phone seems to cycle around with the 'M' display, never getting anywhere.

What should I do now? I tried to boot the phone into the original Motorola recovery, holding down the keyboard 'X' key whilst switching on, but that just brings up a little picture of an orange triangle with a '!' in it.

Regards,

David

Hi,

Your best option is to ask for help in the thread you downloaded the rom from.

Good luck!

Thanks. Unfortunately the site won't let me post there. I'm a new member.

Ah, There's no Q&A section. Normally now if you post in a development thread it automatically creates or posts in a thread in your device section Q&A.... But this won't work cause your section has no Q&A.

I will have your thread moved to your devices General section.

Good luck!

Hello.

1. You don't need no 'factory cable'. All you need to come back to stock ROM is PC, RSDlite software, generic USB<->micro USB cable, and a stock ROM sbf file. The question what to do with a bricked phone was answered here plenty of times. Almost always the best way to bring a dead phone back to life is to flash a stock ROM (with bootloader version >= of version of current one).

2. You seem to have an older bootloader (the latest is 70.13 included in Ginger Bread ROMs), but you don't have to flash a newer one. Just remember, that bootloader is locked and cannot bet downgraded, so if you flash a newer one, you will never be able to flash generic ROMs with an older version. For example after I flashed 70.13 GB, a was unable to flash Froyo ROM over it (but you'll still be able to flash Froyo based CM7 with some tricks).

3. If you can access TeamWinRecovery (the graphicac one), you can simply clear system/cache partitions, and flash any custom ROM zip (for example Czechop's 10.2).

4. The stock recovery (with an exclamation mark, then you press both vol up and down to access menu) doesn't allow to flash unsigned zip images (and none of custom ROMs is signed with Motorola key). What you can do there is try to clear cache/data (factory reset). Sometimes some information in /data is preventing ROM from booting, if you changed ROM.

5. What You described is called a 'bootloop' - rebooting endlessly.
[Milestone 2 General] david.datatone:
Progress

Thank you very much. I have spent all day researching this.

I have discovered 'RSD Lite' and the ability to get the phone into the bootloader mode that I described by starting the phone and keeping the camera and volume buttons pressed.

I can boot to the stock recovery mode by powering up with the 'X' key pressed and then pressing '@'

I don't think that I can access TeamWinRecovery. There may be some way to do this that I don't know.

I did do a complete 'Nandroid?' backup of the system before I started this, so I guess that if I can get TeamWinRecovery or clockworkmod recovery back, I can restore to my previous working state.

What I have tried is 'G.O.T.’s OpenRecovery' to get a recovery installed. I put the OpenRecovery folder and the update.zip onto the SDcard and tried to flash it with the stock recovery utility. I got the "E:EOCD marker occurs after start of EOCD E:signature verification failed" error. I read that this means that I am not properly rooted (I thought I was) and I need to install 'vulnerable recovery' using an sbf file and RSD Lite. I have tried 'vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf' but the process errors, and what I read suggests that this might be due to the older bootloader version.

I tried to find an old stock android sbf for the phone, but all the links to such things seem to be dead.

I did try the factory reset from the stock recovery as a means to fix the bootloop. It didn't work.

You clearly know a lot about this. I would appreciate help to get back to something that works, maybe the last backup that I did.

I am also puzzled by why the upgrade to the CM11 from the CM10.2 failed. Did I do something wrong, or is there some compatibility issue with my phone? I never had a problem updating from the original motorola software to the cyanogenmod, then to the CM10.2.

I think I became a little over-confident.

Thank you in anticipation,

David

Ah! the penny drops. The stock recovery that I can access will only install archives signed by Motorola. Hence the signature errors that I get when I try anything else. So I understand that if I can only get to the stock recovery, I can only use it to reinstall a stock android.

So the problem is where to find a stock sbf file to reinstall Motorola android as a first step to getting back to CM.

I guess that this is the only way to get back to clockworkmod recovery or teamwin recovery?

If I can get one of these recoverys running, I can simply restore to the last working system, I guess?

Regards,

David

I realise that I was mistaken about this. There is no image of a battery filling up. The white LED by the USB socket lights when the charger is plugged in, but I can't be sure that the battery is charging.
[Milestone 2 General] rabinhood:
Are you sure you're trying to flash a proper recovery? I remember there was a 'vulnerable recovery' for milestone 1, but no such thing for MS2. As you wrote, signature errors while trying to flash zips from stock recovery are due to lack of Motorola signature, not to problems with root. Root access has nothing to do with recovery, it is something much later/higher in system.

So again, what to do to unbrick the MS2:

1. Get a stock ROM - I suggest lates European one with 70.13 bootloader. There are also later Latin America ROMs, but they lead to more problems with custom ROMs. SBF's were published somewhere in these forums. If you cannot find them, write, and I'll upload one to some file sharing servers if I have time (I'll be staying at work for next 30 hours or so).

2. Get RSD lite and latest Motorola USB drivers (they're on the web), install. Before flashing remember you cannot use an USB 3 port - the best way is to turn USB 3 support off in computer BIOS.

3. Enter the flash mode in MS2. Connect is with generic USB cable to PC.

4. Run RSD lite, flash SBF, wait until phone reboots - it can take several minutes. If it freezes - try to enter stock recovery and wipe data/cache.

After these steps you should have a clear installation of stock ROM. Then you have to root, install Droid2 Bootstrap, install CM 10 or 10.1 -> 10.2 -> 11. If you have problems with these, write, and I'll write more detailed instructions.

PS. By the way, to enter TWR or CWM recovery you have to press vol down while a blue led is lit for a short time during reboot.
[Milestone 2 General] david.datatone:
1000 Thanks

I can't thank you enough. I'm currently downloading your stock ROM. I already have what I think is the latest verion of RSD Lite (6.1.6) installed on my Windows 8.1 laptop (I've read about problems with more contemporary versions of Windows, but I have successfully connected to the phone before now, just haven't had joy with flashing the file that I tried). I am fingers crossed that all will go well, and I'll certainly note that here. Otherwise I very much appreciate your offer of further help.

Bets regards,

David

recommend you return the original rom using RSDlite and start doing it all over again putting the rom CM10 and then cm11

I got one on 5.0 (kernel panic). Haven't had any yet on 5.0.1.

Weird. My battery's been the best it's ever been.

All location, syncing, wifi etc left on I'll get 7 hours screen time over two days no problem, with no gaming 8 hours. Idle drain is like nothing compared to all previous versions.

Find out what app is draining it or what wakelock is keeping it up. If you haven't already, flash the factory image without keeping data.

5.0.1 is ****ing NICE.

I unfortinately formated system in clockworkmod touch recovery. Afterwards phone gets stuck at sony logo when i power on the phone. Am able to boot into fastboot and flashmode using key combinations but cant enter into the clockworkmod with key combinations as i used to do before the system format. However, i unlocked my bootloader and rooted the device before i had this problem. As a result, am not able to get sony pc companion to repair my phone. I tried flashtool but then upon flashing, it asks me to enable usb debug mode and am not able to enable debud mode since the phone doesnt boot past the sony logo.

I will appreaciate it greatly if anyobe can help me get my cute phone out of this situation

Hi,

Well, this is my first post here, and I don't want to get out on the wrong foot, so advise me if I am going wrong somewhere.

Device info: SM - T110

Status: Stuck in bootloop.

Few days ago, I had rooted the tab. Things were smooth. Later, it asked me to update SU binaries. Ok. Then it switched off, and never switched on again. It only used to boot in download and recovery mode (CWM) . So I downloaded the official firmware and started to flash it. It started, only to get caught in a bootloop in the middle again.

So the update got stopped in middle.

The tab only even works if I connect it to a charger and shows a screen saying that my firmware update has gone wrong, connect to Kies. But my tab keeps switching on and off, not allowing time to connect.

Now how do I get out of the bootloop ?

P.S : I cannot get into either download or recovery mode. ( That's why I started a new thread) :confused:

FWIW, mine works without a hitch even when using the power saving setting regardless of source (game for kids, local music, network streaming, movies) or client (car, multiple wireless headsets, home sound system...etc.)

The only time I've experienced any issues was when I was tweaking clock frequencies or when trying to optimize for low power usage.

When you say you're getting the same response out of two separate devices, that seems to point more to the client than the source... but that's just a guess - perhaps you have a common app or setting on the devices?

Good luck

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Christopher83:
How to perform the calibration of Magnetic / Acceleration / Orientation Sensors

Horizontal Calibration:

Open Advanced Settings and select Horizontal Calibration, place the phone over a flat and horizontal surface, then press Calibrate.

​

Magnetic Field Calibration

After installing a compass app or another app that uses the magnetic sensor, open that and perform an 8 shape, as shown in this video.

The calibration movement is a combined one over all axes and will result in a residual magnetism removal (reset), please perform a slow movement, it's not important the direction you'll follow, just do once or more times until you get the correct calibration.

To know if the calibration is correct, you must know where is approximately the North and look with a compass app if the needle is pointing there. If it's so, try rotating the phone of 90, 180, 270 degree, finally go back to 360 degrees and look if the needle is pointing always to North during the performed rotation.

If this easy test give positive results, your magnetic sensor has been correctly calibrated.

​

Note:

After performing the above calibrations, the orientation and magnetic field sensors will give the correct values with all apps.

Our phone is known to have a native shift of some degrees respect to the North, but this is a hardware limitation due probably to the orientation of the chip welded on the board.

This procedure can be used also after a new flash of a compatible custom kernel in case the sensors are not correctly working.

Legacy Sensors / Virtual Sensors

These sensors are called virtual, because our device hasn't a real hardware chip for them, but by utilizing some data processing techniques and by merging the values coming from accelerometer and magnetic field sensors, it's possible to extrapolate the approximated values of these virtual sensors.

Please note that not all apps support the virtual sensors, to perform a test we suggest the app S Tools+.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Christopher83:
Please, read carefully all the opening post content, you must follow the installation instructions to avoid any problem...
