Hi all,
I am stuck at stock recovery. Can anybody help me to restore stock ROM?
Here is the story:
After I root GTAB manually according to that thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859712, I tried to apply the GPS trick explained @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922692
Actually instead of using root explorer to place the files, I tried to replace files in zip file manually(via adb). It looks like something was wrong and device doesn't boot normally anymore. It just reboots to recovery instead. In addition, adb still founds device during recovery but "adb shell" gives an error saying link error. I assume "sh" binary was depending on one of the files I modified.
So, is there an instruction to restore stock ROM on the device.
My current recovery screen says:
Android System Recovery 3e
Samsung Recovery Utils
for BML
- Reboot System
- apply sdcard: update.zip
- wipe data /factory ...
- wipe cache
...
Installing Multi-CSC
All information related to flashing/recovering a device at recovery can be found at

I also had to use trick mentioned at that thread to get rid of blank screen after first boot:

From the bootloader you can flash the original firmware again and get your phone back to life.
Get your firmware from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php
Keep in mind that you need to have a fully charged battery before flashing, and you can only flash a firmware that is the same version or newer that the original in the phone (newer is always better)

Same problem for me: would appreciate help
Hello !
It seems like I am having the same problem as lukasz0318, but I don't know how to solve it, even based on what has been said before. That's why I am posting here.
To summarize it : I am not able to boot into Recovery Mode anymore on my Milestone 2, so my phone is soft-bricked. I am able to boot into Bootloader Mode.
I already posted my problem on the Android StackExchange (android.stackexchange.com/questions/27553/how-do-i-enter-recovery-mode-on-my-motorola-droid-2-global-to-unbrick-it), but as I have had no answer there in 8 days, I suppose XDA-Developers will be a more appropriate forum. Anyway, let me recap the problem. Hold on, since it is quite an explanation. You may jump to the last paragraph.
I own a Motorola Droid 2 Global, also called Milestone 2. It used to have Android 2.3 with Motoblur middleware. I don't know what firmware version it had, but it was updated earlier this year by the manufacturer. I bought my phone in France independently from any phone carrier (so it was not bought from Verizon for instance). I rooted it, installed ROM Manager, Droid 2 Global Recovery Bootstrap and ClockworkMode Recovery. From ROM Manager, I could successfully reboot my phone into Recovery mode, allowing me to back-up my data for instance. Until this stage everything went fine.
What lead to my problem : I also wiped the cache and installed CyanogenMod 7.2 and the Google apps from ZIP files and from the Recovery Mode interface. But now my phone is broken. When it now boots, it shows the stylised M logo, but then switches to an entire black screen. The phone is still on so I have to pull the battery to shut it down.
I would like to reboot into Recovery Mode but this doesn't work : I am never able to see the Recovery Mode logo (a warning sign with a little android). How should I do it ?
What I have tried : I tried to boot while holding the Power and the 'X' button, as adviced on different forums. This still leads to the black screen. At this state, pressing the Search hardware button does nothing. Holding the Power and the Volume Up button has no more effect. I am able to enter Bootloader Mode by holding Power and Up Arrow. Procedure suggested by Verizon
I also tried to use a Slitaz live CD with ezSBF on it, that I*downloaded from www droidforums net/forum/droid-2-global-hacks/170060-tool-ezsbf-d2g.html#post1726853. But I get errors in the process and then my phone reboots in Bootloader mode and shows the following error:
Code:
Critical Error:
FEBE 0047
After that I still cannot get to Recovery Mode.
I also took a look at Caesarivs' link (sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php) but I don't know which SBF to pick and I don't understand lukasz0318's answer to it. Which is a pity since the link was successful to him.
Could you please give me some details on the procedure to follow ? Additionaly, could you post me a link to your favorite and up-to-date tutorial on how to restore the Recovery Mode ?
Thank you very much !
1) A Milestone 2 is not the same as the D2G. If you bought your phone in france, its a Milestone 2.
2) You flashed the ZIPs on moto's recovery, not ClockworkMod recovery.
Try this:
1) Flash this SBF: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...MILE2GBRTFR_P012_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz You can flash it with RSDLite on windows or sbf_flash in linux.
2) Root it with Doomlord's one click root.
3) Download droid2bootstrap (NOT the global one) bootstrap recovery, and flash bootmenu (attached to this post)
4)Reboot once normally, reboot again, and press the volume down key when the LED flashes blue.
5) Flash CM7.2, the google apps, wipe data/factory reset.
6) Fix baseband (if you have problems with 3G or signal) with Milestone2 Baseband switcher v2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29580375&postcount=696
Hope it helps you :good:

Thank you very much, Lean946. I didn't know there was a difference between Milestone 2 and Droid 2 Global. My mistake.
As I use Ubuntu 12.04, I tried to use sbf_flash but this brought up an error:

My phone now shows the Bootloader Mode with

SW Update
In progress…
It has been so for several minutes. I'll wait a little longer and if there is positive evolution I will edit my post.
Anyway, is this the expected behavior*?
I'd try waiting a few more minutes, if sbf_flash is still frozen, try unplugging and pulling the battery out and trying again, if it still won't work i'd take it to a windows pc, I never had any issues flashing with RSD, and I tried Milestones, Milestone 2s and Defy's.
Good luck.

Thank you very much ! I found a Microsoft Windows machine, found a download of RSD Lite (which was not very easy) and finally installed the SBF you pointed at. It worked very well to unbrick my phone ! It is now back to Motorola's ROM.
I will now try your following points in order to install CyanogenMod. Whether everything works fine or not, I will post an update.

I think I did exactly what was indicated here: step 1 to successfully unbrick the phone, then step 2 to 4.
Step 4 lead me to an interface called "Android Bootmenu" (different from the Bootloader Mode). From there I could not flash any ZIP, but I could launch the Custom Recovery. In my case, ClockworkMod Recovery. From there I wiped data/factory reset, then I flashed CM7.2 and the Google Apps, and rebooted.
But now my phone doesn't boot properly anymore. The stylized M logo keeps appearing and disappearing. As the LED regularly becomes blue, I can enter the Android Bootmenu, and then the two Recoveries (ClockworkMod Recovery and Android Stock Recovery).
What should I do now to finish the install of CM7.2 ?
Might the reason be that I installed the wrong ROM (or the wrong Gapps) ?
I tried the following ROMS :
cm-7.2.0-droid2we.zip from get.cm/?device=droid2we&type=stable
cm-7.2.0-umts_sholes.zip from github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads
The first one gave me no error output during its installation in ClockworkMod Recovery.
The second one gave me an error :
Code:
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip - (Status 7)
.
Do you have any suggestion or a link to your favorite tutorial ?
Finally, the following ROM did work, with the same procedure as I used to do :
CM9-NIGHTLY-120815-milestone2-eu.zip from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623385
I ran into another final small problem (I could not close the Setup Wizard), but that was easily solved with the "Four corners method".
Thank you for your help and wish me good luck on my new operating system !
Hello Everyone,
I'm facing some challenging issue for few hours now and now I'm asking for your kind assistance.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Note 3 LTE (HLTE \ SM-N9005 \ N9005XXUGB0D3).
The device warranty was over this week so I've decided to try Cyanogenmod on it after the device received OTA update to Android 5.0 which I didn't like much due to its much different menus and user experience (Using Cyanogenmod on my tablet and I'm pleased with it).
So,
First step was to install ClockWork recovery but I'm failing each time.
There is a bug with Heimdall and this specific phone model which cause communication problems so it's not working.
Then I've tried ODIN instead but.
I get the "successfully Installed" message but when I go into recovery it is still the default one and not the ClockWork version.
Then I tried Root+Rom Manager via the phone itself.
Rom Manager tells me it installed the correct version of ClockWork *according to the wiki 6.0.4.8) but when I choose to go into recovery mode to verify it either by menually using the VOL\Home\Power combo or the button from inside the Rom Manager app it is still booting to the default recovery mode and not clockwork.
Now after breaking something (probably using different versions of odin or something) I can't get into recovery mode at all. I can see the blue text message of "going into recovery mode" for 1-2 seconds then I get into download mode screen instead.
And chance you can help me with my problem so I'll be able to install ClockWork recovery on this device?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Using root + app called [ROOT] Rashr - Flash Tool I've easily managed to install clockwork and then the Cynoagenmod\Gapps pack.
Hello. I tried downgrading from the latest ASUS firmware to Android 6.0.1
I used this tutorial to install the raw firmware: http://www.asus-zenfone.com/2016/12/asus-zenfone-3-raw-firmware-and-asus.html
Went all the way to the last step when the app hanged. ASUS Flash tool went all the way saying
Code:
Run flash image script ...
It was hanged there. And as per this video, went all the way to the end where it showed the "code bar" on the right (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8xg7A-P7Ak)
This is when the "Android" uninstalled driver showed up in Windows. This is under "Other devices - Android". I tried updating this driver using the ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows found here: https://www.asus.com/Phone/ZenFone-3-ZE552KL/HelpDesk_Download/ but it wouldn't install the drivers.
Note that I used these ASUS USB drivers to get the ASUS ADB Interface installed. As per the tutorial I showed in the very first paragraph, I never got the "ASUS Android Bootloader Interface". This is what I think this "Other devices - Android" is found under Computer - Manager - Device Manager.
Most tutorials on the internet shows that the "ASUS Android Bootloader Interface" should be installed using these drivers found on ASUS website, the ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows.
Now of course because I unplugged the phone, it will continously stay on the Android splashpage showing the loading circle infinitely.
As a last attempt I tried installing the "stock", not "raw" firmware (the one I wanted to install WW_13.16.5.49 but ASUS would not let you downgrade using the recovery "power+volume down" and using "Apply update from microSD card". It would give the
Code:
Warning- No file-contexts. This package is for "ww-phone" devices, this is a E:error in /side load/ package.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.
)
Well, after it brinked, I tried it again and this time it DID install WW_V13.16.5.49. Was succesfull. But after the ASUS splashscreen it's still stuck in the booting process.
I am very sorry if my post is convoluted but I tried explaining everything I did. Any way to un-brink it? I think maybe if I figure out how to properly install the ASUS Android Bootloader Interface, I can try again ASUS Flash tool and install the raw image and maybe that will fix it?
Please help. Any questions if my thread is too confusing, please let me know and I will answer it. I can't even turn off the phone. While it's stuck into the load splash screen, if I press the power button it just restarts, not turn off.
I still have access to fastboot (pwr + volume up) or recovery (pwr + volume down)
EDIT: Phone won't get recognized anymore in ASUS Flash Tools. Serial number won't show up to select
Factory reset and delete cache/dalvik through recovery and post back. It'll take 5-10min to boot up after that. You should always delete cache/dalvik after flashing.

Thank you, this actually worked!!
Aaaand, it's actually on the version 13.16.5.49!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!
So apparently by brinking my latest nougat 7.0 update from ASUS via the ASUS Flash Tool trying to flash the .RAW 13.20.10.137, the standard recovery system (power+volume down) allowed me to install the 13.16.5.49 version. Then I assume remnants files didn't allow to properly boot, and your idea to wipe cache and factory reset fixed that!
What is so great is that I was scared that because the .RAW firmware was newer than the version I needed (13.16.5.49), I wouldn't have been able to install it. It was the same problem initially, when I tried to install 13.16.5.49 directly via recovery over the latest nougat 7.0 version from ASUS, but it was giving me
Code:
Warning- No file-contexts. This package is for "ww-phone" devices, this is a E:error in /side load/ package.zip (status 7) Installation aborted.
I think this error was due to the fact that ASUS won't allow older firmwares to be installed over newer ones, as per their webpage
https://www.asus.com/support/faq/1009748
Code:
You can not change the SKU from one to another, e.g., WW -> TW, and also can not downgrade your firmware, e.g., V2.20.40.13 -> V2.19.40.18
So in the end, what allowed the 13.16.5.49 stock firmware to be succesfully installed? The installer not detecting a proper firmware anymore because of the damaged update due to ASUS Flash Tools hanging because my computer won't install ASUS Android Bootloader Interface?
Glad you got it going :good:
Hi!
I am newbies to all of these but I will try to explain.
LinkA : https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-5/how-to/guide-how-to-downgrade-official-oreo-to-t3746007
LinkB : https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-5/how-to/guide-ta-1053-downgrade-official-oreo-t3893053
LinkC : https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-5/how-to/root-nokia-5-android-8-1-t3831303
I have Nokia5 with android Oreo and I want to root it so I browse a lots of tutorial with zero prior knowledge and follow them.
1. I downgrade to nougat by following LinkA and LinkB <-- I use rom A02 from this guide.
2. enter download mode on my phone
3. unlock bootloader temporarily by using "Unlock Bootloader.bat" from the script mentoined in this guide LinkC
4. flash TWRP v3.2.3, v3.3.1 img files-- > I tried both but none of them work
The problem is after I flash it using "twrp flashing.bat" from the same script. I pressed power up and power button together until the phone vibrate but it just boot to the default rom that I downgraded to.
How can I boot to the newly installed TWRP recovery ?
Moreover, I can't enable USB debugging because I can't skip checking for update screen in default rom. Nokia want me to upgrade to Pie or whatever their latest version is. I tried removing sim/disconnecting wifi but it won't work. The only way I can access the phone right now is to update to Pie which is opposite to what I have been trying to do.
Edited : I tried updating as system suggested but it won't start. I am unable to use this phone now T_T
Edited 2 : I tried to flash new nb0 rom but I can't access recovery mode. It's all black. I don't know what to do now it's dead end pls help!
Anyway to fix this problem?
Thank you in advance
