[Q] ms2 - bootloop - last chance?

hi there...
just installed CM7 this weekend. worked fine for 2 days
After restarting the ms2, it got stuck in a bootloop.
I can flash a sbf with rsd lite from, finishes OK, but when it says, rebooting, well...
it still stuck in a bootloop.
In recovery mode, i can do a cache wipe and factory reset. But there is a error message at the bottom, telling:
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/caller
Could I successfully flash with RSDlite from Linux? which version?
Is there a way to restore the ms2 from dev console?
Thanks a lot

Do you test to Wipe Data with stock moto recovery ?
Here step 7 to 11
I think your request must be on "General" section

I suspected it might be related the CyanogenMod intstall. But move to "general" if necessary
Have done steps 7 - 11
but still ms2 bootloops
OMG - if broke it - my wife kills me

I hope your wife don't kill you LOL
See this thread and particulary this with r2beta0 tips:

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 :
r2beta0 said:
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)

I did exactly the same, as in the other thread.
And thank god, my ms2 booted up
So everything seems fine for now und no one should get killed
Many Thanks!

Nice for you

Moved to proper forum.

Hi all, Emiliano from Italy. I firstly wanted to thank you all for your support.
Even being my first post here, I've been following you since some time.
My problem looks exactly the same: bootloop... bootloop... bootloop.
No matter how many I tried flashing back the original ROM for my M2 (SBF file always worked before!!! so I'm sure is the correct one for my smartphone).
I tried also the procedure with depacking described above with no progresses.
Anyway I already had noticed that after renaming cg66 to cg37, depacker wasn't able to see it in the list of cgs before repacking, so that final fbs was 300MB less.
Something wrong I made? (tried on 2 pcs with Vista Home and Business)
Unluckily I cannot even try to wipe data because I cannot enter in recovery mode (On + X -> Android robot with mark -> but nothing happens after pressing magnifying lens or any other key).
Could someone, please, help me before using my bricked M2 for building a new house?

Hi Amir4Life,
thanks for reply and for your suggestion.
Unluckily I cannot access recovery mode.
All I get when pressing X is the green robot with Exclamation mark, but no matter which key I press after, it gets stuck at that point (so that I'm bound to take away battery to turn smartphone off) and cannot access or see any menu to operate wipe.
Tried also reflashing other roms through rds lite (bootloader works efficiently) or through ubuntu live cd "sbf_flash system", but the only fsb that always worked for me turns out to be a bootloop when rebooting.
Unluckily nothing seems to help me in this situation, so far.
It's still a bootlpop and no access to recovery mode.
Thanks anyway for your help and happy and special new year to you all!

At the 'exclamation sign + green android guy' screen, you have to press 'vol up + vol down' together.
Now you will get the options like 'wipe data' etc. etc. Scroll through options using vol up or vol down and select using power button.

Thanks Sahilarora,
If I had read you before I would have saved a lot of time trying all possibile combinations of keys on the keboards (since magnifying glasses didn't work)!!
Then just by chance I discovered myself volume up + down while pressing chaotically all buttons and it worked to my best suprise, showing me finally the belated list of options, together with blessed wipe data factory
Since yesterday evening my Milestone 2 is wonderfully working again, as fresh as a daisy!
Thank you so much for your contribution, hoping it could help also Amir4Life and oll pthers in a similar situation.
Happy new year (started in the best way).

Glad for you, I was about to tell to do what sahilarora911 told ya,
I expect i m the only one who stays with brick'd phone... my luck.

Could explain in details which is your problem, and which methods have you already tried to solve it?
If not me, maybe someone else could help you.

[Q] Unable to boot.

Hello guys, I bought a A500 few days ago and I was trying to delete some native applications when suddenly the tablet turned off and started to show a image of a android bug with the stomach open and a red triangle with a exclamation mark inside, I have tried to reset by the small hole and the power and volume sequence, but so far nothing happend. I think that I changed some kind of permission while trying to delete the applications. Isn't there anyway to revert this action? Any kind of recovery mode or something like that? It is 4 AM here and I'm desperate, I can't do anything. It only turns on and starts to show the little bug and then turns off, and turn on again. I tried to connect it to the computer but It doesn't recognize it.
Any guess?

Yep. You fubarred it. Hope you made a recovery backup? Cause you will need your UID number. Go to the dev forum, and check the thread on getting your UID. First page so you can't miss it. Only other option is to get an update.zip, copy to ext SD, and boot holding volume -, and then pwr and see if it installs.
I assume you are stock rooted? Or did you install an updated unlocked ics boot loader?

if you have a card reader put the sd in it and place the update.zip through windows , then reboot into cwm and install ,if you dont have recovery , do the trick with protrait mode that should help you get back to where you need to be , I formatted my sd though the card reader ,but you dont have to

Hey guys, thank you very much for the help! I flashed a stock ROM that I found here by putting the update.zip file on a external SD card and pressing power and -volume at the same time. Now I'll just have to update to ICS.

No problem.
Do us a favor though, get your UID number before you go messing around with ICS and unlocked bootloaders. Write it in a safe location. On the box or on your pc.

Or go over to the DEV section and READ ALL THE INFO YOU CAN! Pretty much anything by MD,Civato,Skrillax,blakthdr ,vache and Thor if you can find him, thats not all of them though

Where is the tutorial to get the UID number? I can't find it in the dev forum.

Help please! :( need to nflash b70 device.

Hello, need some help please.
Had my 101 with JB Nightlies rom and wanted to try another rom. I've downloaded super wipe for samsung galaxy S3 and run it in my CWM.
The process didn't finish and the tablet restarted giving me an endless message saying to wait a few moments and that it was deleting everything.
The problem is that this process does not stop and i can't get in CWM again. It just stays there... tried to restart and the message comes again and no CWM.
I figure it out that i have to nflash my device but i never did it. I found Wheelie on this link: http://androidroot.mobi/2012/05/27/introducing-wheelie-nvflash-for-asus-transformer-tf101-b70/.
But i just don't know how to do it on linux... just installed Ubuntu.
Can anybody help me please? :crying:

First don't run scripts that are made for other devices, especially a super wipe script, not only that, some roms done need a super wipe, refer to the install directions on each ROM page.
Second,using olife though terminal is probably one of the more dificult methods to use to do what you need.
Try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1688012&highlight=tool+one+click+stock
It's basically a simplified package instead of you using terminal, it's really straight forward but ask if you need help.

Great software m8 this is probably what i need!!!
The funny thing is that i've been here for 2 hours clicking on vol + and power button and i can't get in to APX mode and i know that i have the correct drivers installed because after the problem append i successfully connected to APX once

Are you clicking like a short press or actually holding them down.
To get into apx you need to hold both of those buttons down while the power is off, usually for about 5-10 seconds.
If it's boot-looping try holding the power and volume + button for like 30 seconds to 2 mins.
I've gotten stuck in a boot loop before and I just had to hold the buttons down for a while before it did anything.
Keep trying, good luck!
Btw is the script you're running on the internal storage or on an SD card?
If it's not even letting you boot android or recovery I think APX mode is your only hope.

It was from the sd card.
I think my problem is my cable because before this happend to me i tried to copy a rom from the computer to the tablet and it wouldn't connect. I've order another cable from Ebay yesterday and let's see what will happens.
This program is very easy to use so i think i will not have a problem. :good:
Will report when i get the cable
Thank you very much!!!

Well, i tried on another computer and i got in APX mode and used the software to nvflash... it totally worked.
Thank you very much fauxsoul for your help :good:
This means that my tablet will never have anymore problems again despite the fact that is a b70 device except if i drop it on the floor! eheheh

[Q] ideos x5 recover from pink screen HELP!!!!!!!

I am so confused .
Im very new to messing around with phones... yes you can call me a super super NOOB
my phone was already rooted and was running a
miui rom (Elite.ROM.v9.7.FIXED.with.Galnet.by.TerraMino_2012-02-18)
(oxygen2.2.2-u8800-test-110914)
i wanted to change it and tried to update CWM coz it was running an older version something like 5.0.---
i installed the file b518 and when i restarted my phone the phone got stuck in a boot loop.....
I can not access CWM
my phone does not come on and is in a boot loop
the only thing i can access now is the pink screen which i can view the image folder
Before this i had made a copy of my whole SD card on the computer...
so if n e files are required i can access it.
I have the zip files that are listed above
PLEASE HELP ME .....[/I][/B]

First, check if you have a normal U8800, not -51 nor Pro.. You can check it by removing the battery.. And, the files you had on sdcard wont help you :/
You can also try to flash another official rom...
EDIT: what happens when you try to enter recovery?

hmm..try it:
go to in pinkscreen, connect phone to pc via usb and replace recovery to custom; boot in recovery (power+vol.up), wipe all (data/factory reset) and try to boot phone.. or install another rom in recovery

I think i messed up the phone even more.
i got it to stock and upgraded the CWM to 5.5.0.4 i think the new'st version .
I got that done and then tried upgrading it to aurora 5.0
I copied the file on to the sd card and installed it thru recovery . it said sucessfuly installed but when i rebooted my phone the huawei logo comes up and then a blank screen would remain.
I could access the CWM and i tried to factory reset and wipe out all the data, and after i did and rebooted the phone boots into a blue screen.
when i try to get into the recovery mode by pressing vol up+ power button i still get the blue screen
when i press vol up+ vol down +power butten it goes into a pink screen but i cant access the image folder.
I cant access any of the memory's on the computer.
I tried hooking it up to ubuntu to see if the drives pop up, but still no luck.
as of now im in a fix i dont know what to do coz recovery mode is not opening up and only a blue screen is coming and no reaction on the computer.
PLEASE HELP IM GOING A LIL INSANE>>>>

DON'T USE odin and other flash tools for our phone. It will full brick your phone.
Did you re-flash B518?
If you did,connect Phone while in Blue (or Pink) screen on Ubuntu. Open the disk manager tool (or partition tool,I forget its name),take a screenshot and upload here.

Maybe the partitions on phone NAND is corruptted.
Disk manager (or partitio manager) is already installed on all of Ubuntu products.

Any help PLEASE! How did you do it?
Hi everyone,
Firstly let me thank anyone reading this in advance! Secondly let me extra thank anyone who helps me in advance!
Sudhodhan. How did you fix your phone?
I rooted my phone. Then I copied a new boot.img file into './cus_backup/image' directory and now the phone wont boot. It just keeps rebooting. I've looked through this forum but cant seem to find an answer. People with similar problems but not exactly the same.
When I go into the pink screen I cannot see the recovery image folder when I pug the USB from phone to computer.
My phone has android 2.3.5.
I cannot access the clockwork recovery mode (by holding power + vol up) it doesn't work anymore or at all?
I have Ubuntu and Xp on my computer.
When I connect phone to computer (while in the pick screen) ubuntu recognises a huwei device attached but adb does not see it. previously adb would see the device.
However when I let the phone keep rebooting endlessly there are moments when adb sees the phone. I have even opened a shell in adb on the device for a little while. but when I did I could not see any hidden directories or the './cust_backup/image' directory. I tried to push the original boot.img file over but that did not work either!
I am stuck.
If I could see the image directory while phone was in the pink screen I could copy original boot.img.
Any suggestions!
Cheers

Hi Koffs,
First check if your phone is U8800 and not a variant like U8800-Pro (+), U8800-51 or U8800-H.
In the case you have a regular U8800 I would suggest you install a stock rom.
For now I recommend B518, find here the link:

Hope you have recovered your phone....if not tell about:
1. What ROM were you on when such thing started happening - Stock or any custom ROM?
2. If on stock what recovery do you have - stock or TWRP?
3. If custom ROM which one? Did you try to install ROS 4 without suggested GApps? ROS 4 loops without GApps install as of now.
4. Do you have access to a PC?
You can also try via Telegram channel for "Le Max 2 Development" for quick help.

Sorry to hear that. Boot to recovery, copy all your data to PC. It would help if you can post a screenshot of recovery.
Recovery with vol up and power buttons.
Edit: Once done with backup post the recovery screen here. Someone will help resolve or attempt to resolve from here.

The phone has stock recovery. Let us check a few things but let us not clutter here. I assume you know how to go about with private messages.
If you do not know how to, see the attached image - XDA accessed from my PC. You can read private messages and reply from there as well. First off we should sync our time. See your inbox.
