Got a bricked X2, please help.

Ok, so i got fed up with my phone freezing so i thought i would get SEUS to
re install the rom, (mr1, mr2 is not available to me yet).
The indicator got to about an inch along when a message popped up saying
update failed.
Now i cannot enter bootloader to try again, the phone will not turn on, SE refuse
to help saying it is not released in the UK so i am not entitled to support.
I have not yet had a reply from where i got it from.
Is there any way to get this piece of junk going again?
Thanks.

Try to charge your battery on another phone / external charger.
I encountered a similar problem when trying to flash the X2. I received the UPDATED FAILED error, pulled out the battery, Volume Down + Power and gave it another try.
SEUS shouldn't brick your phone, maybe it's a problem with your battery.

The battery is at about 80%, i have tried it in my X1 as it is the same battery.
I tried the X1's battery in the X2 as well.
When i press the volume down and power buttons it vibrates for a fraction of a
second and then just stays on a black screen.

Let's try then a forced bootmode connection.
1. Insert the data cable into the phone without the battery plugged in.
2. Open SEUS and go to the connection screen.
3. While the software is searching for the phone, keep VOL DOWN + POWER and insert the battery.
After the phone vibrates, the software should recognize the X2.
This procedure generally applies to dead phones and sometimes works.
Post the result.

Still nothing, i kept the buttons pressed for about 30 seconds, then vista popped up a message 'usb device not recognised' the phone stayed as it did before and SEUS did nothing.

Sadly the support excuse they are using is what a lot of manufacturers do if you are in an area where they don't support it. This is the downside of buying a device on eBay etc. before it is "officially" released in your area. Contact the point of sale and hopefully they can send it in for you. You might have to pay shipping costs.
Leave your battery out and unplugged for an hour and then try again after that to revive it.

I did not even realise it had not been released in the UK, i got it from a UK website.
I am still waiting for them to get back to me, as it is Sunday they won't be getting back to me till Mon Tue i would think.
SE were fast though, less than an hour to reply, about the only credit they get though.
I have had the battery out for more than an hour a few times so that does not work.
Thanks for the suggestions though, keep em coming if there are any more.

The exact same thing happened to me today, but I did not even get the update failed message (but I got the inch )
The phone is now bricked. No bootloader no nothing.

I guess you guys have the Singapore English versions? A lot of those retailers in the UK were getting them through Malaysia and so on. Then selling in the UK but not informing buyers that SE wont support it in the UK yet. It's really sad

It's a French X2, and I got it in France. I think I will have no issue with getting my X2 unbricked (or replaced), SE support is pretty good over here.
But if in the mean time someone has an idea or a trick on how to unbrick a X2 (other than the tips already listed in this thread), I would be happy to test it

Learn to "Read" and use the "Search" function newb.

Hi!
This has happened to me also. The solution was to connect the original charger (I usually charge from the USB port on my PC).
Try this:
1. Disconnect all cables from phone.
2. Remove battery.
3. Insert battery.
4. Connect original SE charger and charge for 5 minutes.
5. With the charger still connected, press volume down and then power on simultaneously - hold until SE logo appears.
If not working, repeat from step 1 several times (i tried 3 times before it finally worked).
6. Connect PC USB and run SEUS update.
Seems to me like the phone does not always charg from USB, and that when it enters the "black-screen-after-short-vibration-after-power-on"-mode it does not charge while in this mode.

Mod edit: not rom dev related, moved to general

well... when it say update fail but if save the new rom to ur phone then its fine, take the battery out and restart ur phone.. it should load the new OS.. my one says fail everytime.. so no problem for me

need help, im really desperate :(

well i just bought a X10, i've spent all my saves for it, and before getting my cell , i was already reading all the post about Faqs, basics, all the thing for noobs like me, but everything was for eclair 2.1, and my xperia came with 1.6. i searched the net, and found a ""easy"" way to get 2.1, with the "global 2.1.zip" and flashtool by bin4ry rather old like, everything was in the cmd prompt, and after the flash process, the phone got in a loop booting to the SE logo and the reboot. i was scared so ive used SEUS to repair the flash but it dindt finished the flashing process and in 99% appeared an error that could fiinished the flashing process, after that my phone just display a triangle with a exclamation mark and i cant find i way to repair it, ive tried SEUS SE companion but the same result, , almost finishing !bang! error.
im really desperate, i'd passed a LOT to buy that telephone, and in day 1, this, i feel stupid and impotent...
Hope you can help me
thanks
EDIT: em for some reason i'd left the cell connected with usB to the computer and it "magicaly" started to work, and in 2.1!!!... emmm if somebody could explain what happened i would thank him/her a lot!!!

What program were u running at the time with the magic usb solution? If it was flashtool or seus?

LOL you need to leave the xperia flashing for a bit when you are using the cmd process. It will say finished, but thats not the very end. It will be finished flashing some file that takes a bit. then it will continue to the end. You must have unplugged it halfway through the flashiing process.

Disconnect the phone, take out the battery and leave it out for about half a minute. Then, put back the battery in the phone. Hold the "Back" button and while holding it down, plug in the USB cable so that the phone is connected to your computer. Now you should be able to flash the phone using "flashtool".

Also before flashing you need to make sure that the battery is charged ATLEAST 50%. Thats probably why this happened.

[Q] Bricked Milestone2? Wont Charge/Stuck at M logo

So a couple days ago I installed MIUI to my phone. Everything went great, it booted successfully and worked for 2 days or so, until i accidentally let the battery die (not sure if this is related to the problem or not). Since this day, it wont charge or turn on while connected to the wall. When it is connected to the wall, it starts the screen and show a big battery with a question mark inside. I tried a friends battery and it gets stuck at the M logo. The only thing i can access now is the stock recovery screen. Any ideas on how to solve this? Thanks

1.Download RSD Lite
2.Download the stock .sbf file for your device
3.Use your friends battery and boot into bootloader by holding Power+Volume Down+Camera button
4.Open RSD Lite, choose the .sbf file you downloaded, connect your phone to pc with usb cable and flash it.
If your pc doesn't reckognize your phone, you'll have to download and install the latest motorola milestone 2 usb drivers.

Ok. So i tried to apply the sbf file, but as soon as the process starts, RSDLite says under the status area "Phone[0000]:Creating Image File." and it wont get thru this. Any ideas?

Maybe try sbf_flash on linux?

Will the sbf_flash work the same on the mac? Or should they work differently on mac and linux? I tried it earlier today and i got stuck at some part i cant remember...I'll recharge the battery with a universal charger that i found (cause it's saying its too low to program) and try it again tomorrow, so i just wanna be sure that i can do it on the mac...
Thanks

It should work same way. OS X version is just port from the linux version.

You have to run RSDlite as an administrator. Right click on RSD.exe or RSDlite.exe not shure what's the exe file named and Run as administrator.
br Zola

having the same problem
after flashed MIUI/CM7
the battery died then the phone cant boot to desktop
tried RSD Lite, flash failed lol

Tried to run RSD as administrator. Still stuck at the same point.
Tried sbf_flash, stuck at 'waiting for phone:'.
I'll try to download the sbf file again, just in case it is corrupted.
Any other ideas?
PS.: I'm running rsd on VMWare, could this be the problem??

Dunno how exactly works USB bridge in VMWare, but rsd on pure (not virtualised) system is worth a try. Also - are you sure, your battery is charged? I know, that if your phone can't boot, the battery will not charge via USB - you should use universal charger or somebody here recommended (and successfully repaired MS2 this way) put contacts directly on the battery to charge it little (just for RSD flash).

I charged it on a charger that you put the battery directly into the contacts. I'm sure that it is charged cause 1) the led display on the charger says so and 2) when i get to bootloader mode to apply sbf, it says 'Battery OK / OK to program' , and before i charged it, it would say: "battery too low, cant program", or something like that.
I'll try to get a windows pc and try to apply the sbf

Thank you guys.
I was trying to flash it with a sbf that was on a pendrive. All i did was transfer the file to the HD and flashed it via RSDLite, using VMWare.
Now my phone is working again.
Thank you very much to everyone that helped me

NEED HELP - Android 2.3.7 don't boot anymore

Hi Guys,
I got into a problem here, and I need help! I have a milestone 2 with the latest Endlees CyanogemMod, Android 2.3.7.
I was trying to follow the steps into using the internal memory as a SD card (link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=948887), but I wasn't successful.
Here cames what I did:
First I tried to follow the steps:
​1- create a file image in /data and a folder in /sdcard
​mkdir /sdcard/storage
​su
​dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/storage.img bs=1024 count=5242880 (1024x1024x5 --> 5Gb)
​busybox mkfs.vfat /data.storage.img
But that didn't work, the terminal emulator just said that the directory couldn't be found.
Then I downloaded Busybox from Android Market, and installed it. But when I executed the program, the installation wasn't done because it was insisting that Busybox wasn't able to access the folder, and didn't have superuser access to root. Even with the permission on Superuser OK!
So after that, I tried to reboot my milestone 2, and now it won't even get to the boot screen of android (screen with the rotating square)
I tried to use the boot recovery tool, and wipe all system data, and reboot, mas it isn't working. Something I noticed on Recovery Tool is that apear a messagem saying "E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/command" and "E: Can't Open /cache/recovery/caller.
Even the battery light won't turn on. If turn off the cell and try to recharge it, appears a image of the battery with a "?" on it... I tried to connect the cellphone to the PC with the usb cable, but it isn't recognized...
I hope someone can help me, I just can't afford to lose this phone.... Thanks

Look in this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344740 it should help you solve this problem
in general: firstly you need to charge your battery in another working Milestone 2 or in some universal battery charger (because bricked Milestone 2 is not able to charge battery) and then you need to flash SBF and it should be ok

I read somewhere else that even if the MS 2 is bricked the battery charges. Very very slowly, but it charges.

thanks for your tip... I read the entire topic, but there is a problem. My battery must be around 30% or something, but when a connect the milestone 2 with the pc via usb cable, the lateral light won't even lit... And the pc won't even recognize it...
edit: when I connect the cellphone to the pc, the light lit for 30s more or less, the appear the Motorola logo with the rabbit on the side, but then the light turn off and I get stuck in the same situation...

I don't know, maybe it is possible, but I as far as I know, everyone, who had bricked M2, charged the battery outside his phone...
So he can try it in the bricked phone, but he can't be 100% sure it will charge, right?

Yes, thats why I said here and even in the topic I referred to, you have to charge battery in another non-bricked Milestone 2 or in universal battery charger. When your M2 is bricked, it wont charge any battery (or maybe it will, but very very slow according to carpet55's post ).
So now you have to get some universal charger or working M2 (or another battery).. This is your step no. 1. Then you can flash it via RSDLite by SBF file.

ok Anonymous_!
I'm going to find a way to charge the battery and do what are you saying.
But RDS Lite can flash the android even if windows it isn't recognizing the cell phone on the usb?
thanks again! I'll return with more info when I get my battery fully charged..

After you will have charged battery, you will have to boot into bootloader by holding Power+Volume Down+Camera button, then windows should recognise it (maybe you will have to install drivers too) and then you can use RSDLite (don't forget to run it with administrator rights).

Anonymous_,
final question of the day... Where do I get the SBF file?
I'm from Brazil, so should be the brazillian version of this link?
and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2

You are on the right path
Grab Brazil 2.2 version from http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 and it should be ok.

I can confirm that no, the battery does not charge when bricked. I left mine going for over 24 hours and nothing -_-. So ended up using a universal ac adapter set to 5 volts and some wires directly to the + and -. This didn't work after half an hour so I upped it to 7v and about ten minutes later, all good.
During my research to find how to fix it, someone was saying the charge sequence software in in the system or boot data, and since it was all corrupt - no charge.
But you perhaps allready have enough juice in there to load up bootloader successfully, so try what anon said and hold d-pad up and power on until the screen flashes blackish grey and let go. Then it'll tell you if the battery has enough charge to flash a sbf

Guys,
I'm thankful to everyone who tried to help me, especially Anonymous_!
Yesterday, in the same day I bricked my phone, I flashed it even without charging to 100%... and everything has gone well, but it was a close call, because my battery had only 5% left when the milestone returned to live!

Good to hear!

[Q] Motorola defy black screen with white led

hi all i bought defy about a year ago as a second phone from ebay with cm7 installed.last week i purchase another phone and give my 7 years old daughter. however i reset everything and phone turn old version blur mod then stuck on m logo i download rom and sort the problem.
real problem starts now i try to install cm 9 download all required files wiped the phone and install the rom however it didn't restart stuck on black screen and only white led when connected with usb also didn't connect or recognized by rds lite.I found tread battery wake up from i think was ''mggrager'' or something else finally rds recognized the phone and install another sbf but still stays same as black screen and white.i read so many threats on this side or others and each i installed custom roms without clearing cache
battery replaced with replacement battery also original
all drivers installed
it doesn't respond any buttons or usb connection
rds only with battery jump
please help what to do

I'm having the same problem as you are, i believe... I had cm11 (or 10, not sure) installed for about a month now (back in december) .... Went on a trip, and when coming back my phone battery ran out at the airport... I take my phone home, not really giving it much importance, and i noticed it would never charge and/or turn on, and that when I connect it to the pc, nothing happened other than the white led coming on.. RSD won't recognized it...
So i found out i had to charge the battery manually, and used a Universal Charger... Still, no recognition by RSD Lite...
Finally, i found a way:
1. Open RSDLite
2. Connect phone (no battery on it)
3. While holding Power + Vol Up, put the battery in
4. RSD will recognize your phone!
Problem is, it recognizes my MB525 as "S Flash OMAP0360"
And when i try to flash a .sbf i used previously to recover my phone (had bricked it by trying to change ROMs in a sloppy manner), it seems to flash smoothly, but when it's going to reboot the phone, the progress goes up to 100% and then asks me to reboot it manually.. I read somewhere that to fix that i should take the battery out, disconnect the phone, put it back in, and make RSD recognize it like i mentioned before...... and after RSDLite says flashing is PASSED, the phone still won't turn on... I have tried at least three times and gotten the same result... Help?
I don't know if i should make a thread of my own.. i think we have the same problem, and i REALLY need my phone back.. so i guess we could just help each other fixing it somehow....
The SBF i am using (because it helped me save my phone before) is:
JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25TIGCOLA01E.0R_JORLAFROTIGCOLA_P009_A002_M010_HWp3_WIG146037_Service1FF.sbf
EDIT: Also, i read somewhere that when all you get is the white led (when connecting to PC) it means that your battery is not charged enough for flashing.. ?

i already tried several times this method however no luck i am really not sure what to do any more i think only option try to find latest rom or first rom then try again if any luck will update and give the links
