[REQ] original Roms for XT720

Buddies,
can anyone upload the original roms for Milestone XT720? (SG, Kr, and other)
So we can do more testing worry free. If anything goes wrong, we can just flash it back to original. It would be nicer if someone can also show how to flash the rom.

Flashing Guide by Hahutzy
Hahutzy said:
Alright, I just crashed my phone into an infinite FC loop by messing with system/app, so a reflash was in order.
Here's how I successfully flashed it back to stock using Windows 7 32bit (dense text ahead):
1) Search somewhere along the lines of "RSDLite - download here" on google
2) Go inside first link, download the file that's named somewhere along the lines of "RSDLite_4.5.3.zip"
3) Install it.
4) Go to http://and-developers.com/sbf:xt720
5) Download the 2nd Full Flash rom, the one where the provider is "Southeast Asia"
6) Unzip that file, you now have a .sbf folder (not file)
7) Put that .sbf folder in C:\Users\Admin\My Documents
8) Shut down phone, take out battery
9) Hold Power + Volume Down + Camera buttons all at once
10) Put in the battery while holding those buttons
11) Phone is now in bootloader mode (screen looks like a command prompt)
12) Release the buttons, and plug USB to computer and phone
13) Open RSD Lite, your phone should be detected as connected (Device name was like "S OMAP 3440" or some BS like that)
14) Click "..." to browse for the .sbf file in C:\Users\Admin\My Documents
15) In RSD Lite, click to highlight your connected XT720, and then click "Start". The first column beside the connected phone should now have a green icon thing, and the ROM is being flashed.
16) DO NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE, THE CABLE, OR THE COMPUTER! (I went and took a dump)
17) When the "Status" column in RSD Lite says "Please manually power up this phone", so shut it down and power it again. Note: The status stays in "Checksum Group 37" for a verrrrryyyy long time before saying "Rebooting". I thought it got stuck there, but it ended up ok.
18) Your XT720 is now reflashed to stock.
19) You can now close RSD Lite. It will complain saying you will damage the attached device, but I pulled it out wayyyy before this (I unhooked it when it told me to reboot manually) and my XT720 is not dead. You may choose to close RSD Lite before unhooking your XT720.
20) Post your results in this thread and confirm or reject my procedure.
spiderx_mm, you may quote this on your first post for others' easy access to this procedure if you so wish to.

Sorry, can i know how to put the phone into bootloader mode? I cant not find in google and this forum for xt720.

press volume and power together

can not go to boot loader. Already press power and volume button

first you need to switch off the phone, then press camera button and power and keep those pressed until recovery icon appears. THEN press volume up and power, if I remember this correctly.

When i do the guide, phone at first go to recovery mode, and nothing happen. RSD lite can not recognize the phone. I use recovery mode to wipe cache and data like it said factory reset. Then i get stuck. Phone can not start up, stand at motorola logo.
I still can go to recovery mode, but not boot loader mode. And it appear error in recovery mode: E:\ can't open /cache/recovery/command. Now how can i repair my phone?

Defy with hard brick

Hello, I defy this with hard brick
what can I do? sbf've tried but all I use no longer has the motorola logo appeared, after flashing the screen is just black ...
I tried flashing with Linux without success ... I can not enter the mode recevery
have some way to go with Linux defy the recovery?

Can u enter Bootloader ?
if yes use the tool sbf_flash to flash a froyo sbf...
u need to wipe data after flashing sbf or it will bootloop

Check your battery charge and i think if RSD lite detects ur phone, then u can surely flash. u must able to see the moto logo..use some sbf s which u should flash after ur phone becomes dead!!...
If ur phone's battery is down, i think u should follow some dangerous method...i m not able to recall that method...but check "android development " section..u l find it
And dont try flashing a lower version sbf..u l get into trouble....use the version u had before ur phone became dead....try deleting ur cache/user data before flashing a new sbf........

If you can enter the bootloader then you're saved.

Your Defy is not bricked.
Use RDS lite and load any SBF that is convinient for you.
Then use keys vol down and power -> when you see "!" mark press simultinuosly vol down + vol up --> clean data and reboot.
After reboot you'll be able to enter the system you loaded by RDS lite.
Than use Gingerbreak and Sndinit and you can enter the bootloader.
Good luck.

I have used several sbf, except 2.3. I defy CM7 and was given this problem, I can not remember why it is time ...
Now I spend sbf and he did not react, when it finishes and says he is restarting rsd, the defy not only erases and resets after a few seconds the rsd lite appears PASS
I can only access the bootloader, the recovery can not

have you resolved your problem? iam in the same boat... sbf flashing has left me with a flatline... black screen...

noo man

guys, I managed to get into recovery mode, I wipe and data cache, but does not solve anything, it crashes when it appears the logo of motorola flashing 'Blur'
used JORDN_U3_97.21.51

try to get the right software
1- RSD lite V5.3.1
2- Motorola drivers
3- JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_177-005_NORDIC_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNFRYORTNORD_P003_A001_HWp3_Service1FF

You are not doing it properly. First of all make sure your phone is powered off. Then press the vol up key and keep pressing it. Then press the power key. Do not relese the vol up key till you see the bootloader.

you seem to be pressing vol-.
you have to press vol+ and then power on button or press vol+ and battery insert

I tried the mokey method

Remove cable and battery hold down volume + insert battery press power on, your now in bootloader ,now you can release Vol up and insert cable.

are your vol buttons working properly?

To use the RST, you must use the Vol + button. If done correctly the motorola logo will not appear.

All started when the Defy began to restart on the startup MotoBlur screen, I went into recovery mode (vol-) and restore the original settings, but continued with the same problem. I tried to install via RSD Lite the Froyo rom, the Defy booted and stopped on the screen where need to enter the MOTOBLUR account, but he came back to restart.
After I entered the bootloader (vol+) with the rom JORLA, started normally and the screen to set up the account MOTOBLUR he restarts (again) with the same problem. I removed the battery to enter the bootloader to put Froyo rom again but no longer entered the bootloader, I tried the recovery menu and also failed. I put the charger and nothing, stay on the screen with the M in the center, it blink and does not leave him, I put in the USB but a white light turn on and the computer does not recognize anything.
I don't know what I do.
Sorry for my english ...

I've a similar problem on a NEW Motorola Defy...
...can't go in Bootloader!!!
I've pressed Power and Vol+ BEFORE insert battery and doesn't work!
Recovery Mode works but I can't use RSD Lite to flash (is possible without recovery???)
My phone is a Defy Mini with red lens, 600 MHz CPU (so it isn't a Plus) and 1700mAH battery (like Plus?).
Is a italian phone branded by TIM (Telecom Italia Mobile), maybe they made some "lock"?

try this:
start and set RSDlite with your favorite sbf
than conect the phone in OFFMODE
if the RSDlite see your phone (something like this"S Flash 3630)
start flash the sbf
if not, try to charge the battery(could be empty) and try again
if even so RSDlite not see the phone NOW you have a problem
good luck

Hi!
Sorry it's my first question here on XDA forum.
I have a Defy with CWM, and Stock ROM. Can I use format system partition, and then flash a Custom ROM from a zip file in CWM? Or should I use just wipe data/cache, then flash a Custom ROM? Which is better?
Thanks

First: You posted in wrong thread, this thread is only for that defy's not going in locked on M logo and no recovery & bootloader. 2nd: You don't need to format system rom, because cwm wipe it while flashing ROM zip. Just wipe data/cache/dalvik and you'll fine.

Has anyone saved this problem ? i`m into the same situation...

Try monkey method - hold volup + power and when insert battery. Helped for me once. If this method will not help try this - 1.remove phone battery from defy, 2.plug charger to socket ,but not in the phone, 3. Holding volup button plug charger in phone without battery, 4. It should enter in bootloader but with blinking VATTERY LOW. CANNOT PROGRAM, 5. put battery in phone, 6. Reflash with rsd lite. If above metods not helping - still moto logo - mainboard fried, when only one solution - service center. Good luck. :thumbup:

You verified the CG version before flashing the full SBF ??

you can still flash a new rom threw rsd lite.
I would say you done the same as me I tried to flash a version with a lower version and it wouldnt boot at all.
Power the phone on holding the volume up button and connect the USB, It wont show the bootloader screen but RSD lite should say its connected.
You might have to plug it in and out of the usb cable a few times (well I did) till RSD lite connects to it.
You will have to find out what version you had previously and flash the same version or higher (try to stay on the same version if you can)

Dunno if stock recovery would help:
How do I enter Recovery Mode?!: With the Phone off press VOLUME DOWN then, while still pressed, power up the phone and leave VOL key pressed until you see a Yellow triangle, once you see this you are in Recovery now press Vol Up and Vol Down at the same time (if you are in Froyo) and the menu will appear, if you are on Éclair the menu should appear without having to press anything
This is a copy/paste from all in one guide

if its like mine the screen does not show anything, you cant get into bootloader or recovery screen. Well I think it goes into bootloader as RSD lite can read it but it will not show anything on the screen.
I think my problem was trying to install the CM9 kernel as I used the same process and left out flashing the CM9 kernel and it worked perfect, Lucky some one that helped me get my phone working again suggested this to me.
So I now have ICS working by just installing it and Gapps and left out the CM9 kernel
Not sure if that is what you are trying to do but you should be able to flash a new rom with what I said above. Just making sure its the same BL version as your previous install

Thz for all your help,I can fix my defy+ since I using bl7 sbf
I think I will root it and flash other rom soon

please help :(

Can you boot into bootloader? (Power + Volume up)

Install motorola drivers for pc, install rsd, enter the bootloader with power+volume up buttons like xiihyou said, then connect your phone via usb to pc and start the rsd proces flashing....

Should Help
The same happen to me , solution is simple .....
Just Install drivers ( HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100585)
Pull out battery, now put it back with Power button and Volume up pressed together
you should be in bootloader mode
Now choose the right SBF file for your Phone .....
After you Defy boots up, Shut it down -> wipe data and cache ( Press Power button and Volume Down)
And now your mobile should be OK
