What method of hard resetting did you try?
If hard reset does not work get to the bootloader screen (multicolored) by holding down camera button and preset reset button.
You can then reflash your rom - does not have to be activesynced to do this - as long as you have a small 'usb' on bottom left of bootloader screen when connected to pc it should work.
I guess this is the rom thats already on your device ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/o2/Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe

whats the boot loader screen, all the phone loads upto is the bit before windows mobile shows when you first turn it on

Turn phone off - then press camera button and hold - press power on button whilst still holding camera button. Bootloader screen should come up (multicolored)

Just download the rom mentioned above - connect device to computer (does not have to activesynced) and run the rom intaller and the rom will install.

The rom install usually takes 10 mins or so - dont worry it usually stalls a while around the 70-80% mark a while - just wait and be patient until its 100%. It will return to factory condition so all your data will be lost i am afraid. If you have synced with outlook before your pim info can be restored from there.

i was only jsut settin it back up anyway and it didnt work just now the update but it dont the error revoery adn its working again done 75 so far

Just tried to upgrade my XDA mini to this new ROM (v2.21.4.101). Everything seemed to be going swimmingly - I installed the ROM and the thing booted up ok. I then did a soft reset before all the o2 stuff installed. I then went to do a restore (having previously backed up using spb backup) and it almost completed but then the mini s rebooted itself again.
Ever since, it will only get as far as a page which has most of the bar at the top of the screen (the signal strength icon, battery strength and GPRS indicator are all there), but not the start button. Underneath that is just a blue screen with the Windows Mobile logo. The backlight will come on if I press any of the buttons but otherwise it is not responding.
I've tried holding down the camera button and pressing the on/off button and also camera button and the reset button, but neither of them seem to do anything.
I've tried reinstalling the rom from the PC but it says it can't find my device.
Rather bizarrely, if I call myself from another phone, the device rings and says incoming call, so the thing obviously isn't totally dead.
What can I do to sort this out?
Cheers!

Touch HD stucked in HTC bootscreen.

Hi all,
I was messing with wmwifirouter on my touch hd and it hung for some reason and i had to soft reset my device. i pressed the power button and switched it off when the confirmation dialog came up. however, when i turned it back on, it would go past the smart mobility screen and the fone gets stuck in the htc screen. the windows mobile screen doesnt show up and it just would go past the htc screen. the charger respords well and wen i wait for sometime and when i press the power button for sometime, it gave me the confirmation dialog sound. but there was nothin but the htc logo on the screen. maybe something is going on behind the screen, but when connected to usb it wudnt detect on active sync. and wen i pressed the reset button under the battery cover, it was stuck at the htc logo screen before it showed some msg asking to press send button to restore factory default settings cause the device wasnt shut down properly or an untrusted app was installed (this is basically wat it said, not word to word.)
so can anyone help me? there is some texts i really badly need to back up.. anything other than a hard reset? please help. thanx in advance.

If you can't get past bootloader screen looks like your only options is to flash rom or hard reset

yeah i just hard resetted and everythings back to normal.. its a pity, i just lost around 4000 txts from my gal..

Keeping xls files in AES, RAR encrypted files for safety
Have lost maybe 50 messages at max in that time because of some vista failures and Touch Diamond got stolen in Bulgaria.

Please help. My Milestone 2 is DEAD

Hi all,
I have had loads of problems with this phone, so I decided to do a factory reset.
It rebooted as normal until it got to the Motoblur setup page
It asks for the Motoblur details to be entered, but once you have entered them and pressed the 'next' button, it goes back to the previous screen instead of the next step and then gets stuck in a never ending loop.
I've tried skipping the sign in process but instead of skipping it, it just goes back to the first Motoblur account setup screen instead.
Out of desperation, I have tried to make several new Motoblur accounts but every single time, it gets to 80% completion, then stops.
I have even left running all night (plugged in) and it still freezes at 80%
I can't do another factory reset because it won't get past the Motoblur setup screen.
I've tried to do a hard reset by holding x and powering the phone on but this doesn't work. It just brings up the triangle and android robot but it does not go to the next step despite me leaving it for several minutes.
Only had it for 7 weeks and am awaiting a response from Expansys on what to do.
Any help from you guys will be greatly appreciated.

Apply a debrand image of your system and do a full wipe

Have you pressed the @ key when you get to this step with the robot and the triangle? That should bring up the reset menu, and then you use the volume and camera buttons to choose and select the option you require.
Cheers,
Steve.

I didn't know you had to press @
Thanks
I've done a hard reset, but I still have the exact same problem.
If I try to input my proper Motoblur details it instantly says connection failed (it doesn't seem to even try to connect as fails the instant you press 'next)
Creating a new account hangs at 80%
Any more ideas before I throw it against a wall?
I notice there was an option to boot from SD in the recovey mode.
Would this allow me to boot an official motorola rom?
If so, where would I get the rom from?
A walkthorugh on exactly how to do this would be appreciated if this method could fix my issues.
I'm really annoyed because I sold my HD2 for this phone and I'm regretting it.
Thanks

I think you need internet connection in order to validate your account or create a new one. Check your APN settings first, or do it on wifi.

Hi,
I've tried it whilst connected to my wifi router. I've even tried it via the data connection but nothing happens.
It seems that despite the data/wifi connections being there, it just ignores them.
I think this is the issue. It's not connecting and I don't know why
The phone displays the wifi/3G data symbols in the task bar but it doesn't seem to be using them during the Motoblur setup

Mine is dead too!!!
Hello everybody,
Greetings from sunny, flooded, blown away, Queensland Australia!
Long time lurker, first time poster...
I have a...
Vodafone-Australian-2.2-Milestone2
2 weeks old and its an expensive paper weight. It was rooted and thats about it, had a bunch of root required apps on there, installed the bootstrap, but hadnt installed Xrecovery yet.
I was playing around the other day. changing settings, installing and uninstalling a heap of apps, testing them. Some app suggested I restart or it restarted itself, cant recall, and that was the end. Boots until it gets past the M, and then its just bootloop city.
Won't register on comp in RSD or anything. Will boot to stock recovery and cleared cache and data several times, but that didnt fix anything. Won't even charge the battery. It will run an update but has to be signed. Problem is, we havent had any updates yet on these phones in Australia and there are no custom roms. What update.zip could I get to try to fix it, because I think thats about my only hope.
While recovery was wiping the data and cache it would stop frequently and each time I would touch the ok in the bottom corner of the screen and it would continue, and seemingly despite the 10 or more stops, completes fine. Surely thats not normal.
Out of ideas, I would just send it back with a story but the vodafone boot animation is replaced with disco flashing lights. and thats all it does, non-stop. Do you think they will notice someone has been tinkering?
Ideas? Thoughts?
Oh, and forgot to mention, when I first got it I had the same problem with the Motorola sign in wizard on startup, for quite a while, cant remember how I got around it though. Stop trying to sign in and just get out of that wizard, install ADW Launcher or similar and dont go near any Moto apps. You are only required to do a Gmail sign in, not Moto.

That's the problem though.
I'm stuck at the Motoblur sign in and it will not skip.
Whenever I select skip, it just goes back to the motoblur sign in page instead of going to the home screen.
Basically, in a nutshell, this is what's wrong:
I can't sign in to motoblur (gets stuck in a loop)
I can't create a new motoblur account (crashes at 80% every time)
I can't skip the sign in process (takes me back to the motoblur sign in page instead of loading home screen)
This is my first and last Motorola phone. Not good at all.

So what happens if you press press home or back repeatedly instead of skip? And if all fails reflash new SBF

It just goes back to the motoblur setup/signin screen no matter how many time I press home, back or skip. It's as if a dll is missing and it's unable to boot to the home screen.
How do I flash a new SBF?
Motorola have agreed to let me return it but if I can do it myself I'd rather do it.
I have found this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11155476#post11155476
but the link to the UK SBF is dead

Yeah, that's the one, and the link to UK SBF works fine for me. If you can't get it to flash that way, then you are going to have to do it the way I am about to do mine, which is...

Failing that, send it back and be done with it.

since its so new id send it back. you shouldnt be having this problem at all. the milestone 2 is a very solid phone. i had mine running for 90 days straight not even a reboot or crash or anything lol. sounds like you just got a duff one. with any piece of technology theres bound to be a few that slip through the net. even if you find a fix for your problem you dont know what is causing it. and if youve had problems before then somethings obviously wrong. since theyve agreed to let you return it then thats your best option.

Probably i should send mine one back as well.
Bought a new Milestone 2 yesterday (from ebay, Chinese guys but as per retail package phones are for UK market). Put the SIM in just to check before wiping out everything from my old Defy. Made a call, checked the version and the menu and put the SIM back to Defy to backup all I needed. Plugged Milestone to the mains. 3 hours later found promising "Fully charged" on the screen and put the SIM in. That was it... Since I can't power the phone whatever I do. I thought the Power button went off as I tried to perform hard reset (x+Pwr), BRM (Arrow up+Pwr) and nothing happent at all. But then I put the phone on the charger again and the Power button worked fine switching the screen off and back on.
Any other methods to get the phone running?
UPDATE: It's strange and weird, but I've just had an idea to remove SD card and it worked - the phone powered on immediately!! Formatted the card using card reader, put it back - the phone works flawlessly. Fantastic! =))

[Q] Help with the black screen on LG Quantum

Today my new LG Quantum screen was fuzzy at the beginning and I turned off the phone and then powered it up. The screen went total black....nothing was showing up. The phone could receive call but I couldn't pick up the phone as the screen was black. How can I fix the problem?

Hmmm, if you can't see ANYTHING, then it would be difficult to hard reset the phone from the Settings menu. I believe there is a key press sequence to hard reset the phone, which might set things right.
Maybe check the LG site or ask your cell provider?

after power off the phone for a day, it comes up again. However after half an hour, it was fuzzy like this. I reset the phone before, but still have the same problem.

You definitely have a screen digitizing problem. If the phone is new send it back for a replacement or send it to LG for repair.

Don't know what happened....use Zune to down grade to the original version. It was working fine in a day....then install quite a few apps....it was fine as well....tried to upgrade to mango again....when it was upgrading, the screen started fuzzy....and freeze.
use Zune down grade the phone to original version again and brought up MFG menu to reset the phone and then upgrade to mango without installing any app. It works fine now since then....I can add the apps without any problem so far..... done the full test on the device and everything was passed. It looks like that it is software problem.

not responding!

Hello!
I have a really big problem wih my WF... Recently it started to lag, but i wasn't worried about it, because i thought it could be because of all that apps and other garbage i had in it. But when i was sitting today it suddenly went off. Now the touch screen is not responding, it's not even working. 1 to 20 times i can enter into recovery menu, but even that, i can't do nothing. The HTC logo is not displayed also. Even working with recharger is not bringing any effect...
Help me please!
rom: CyanogenMod - 7.2.0 - RC1 - buzz,
radio: 13.55.55.24H_3.35.20.10.

1. I hope your screen is not broken or somehow damaged while sitting.
2. In Recovery Mode, I hope you know the Screen does not respond to touch and you use the Volume Rocker to move and the Power Button to select in HBOOT. When you are in Recovery Mode, you still use the Volume Rocker to move and the Track Ball to select. In Recovery Mode, your Back Button should work also.
Do a NanDroid and reflash to see if problem is solved.

can you enter hboot? try doing everything here, or reflash in cwm etc. just do the basic things

Put off your phone for a long while... Like for a whole day... It should work when you put it on back (Talking from experience).

Thanks for all replies, but i tried everything, HBOOT was not responding (yes, i used volume rocker ). Eventually i went to the shop and showed my warranty. Phone went to the service and after two weeks "TA DAAAH", new soft was installed (as always) and lcd screen was replaced with the new one.
I was really surprised when i noticed, that phone was unrooted, but remained S-OFF.
Sorry i wasn't writing for such a long time

Maybe they just flashed an RUU and (luckily) didn't realise it was S-OFF?

I used to fix iphones for insurance companies, and although we had a checklist of things to check such as if it had been jailbroken etc it just got ticked regardless to save people the hassle even if we did notice........... unless they phoned giving us hassle because the parts which we told them we had in stock didn't turn up on time as we'd ordered them from China to save a few bob, then we'd give them a thorough check!
