NEED HELP - Android 2.3.7 don't boot anymore - Milestone 2 General

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!

Please help. Background. I rooted it and had it set up to work on Cricket. Well I like the latest rom so I attempted to update it to a different rom. First one wouldn't boot so I was able to get into Clockwork mod and load a saved original version back. Then i tried flashinf the Rumm rom and now when I start it it immediately goes to the Rumm screen and stays there. I can't figure out how to get into the Clockwork menu agiain and it wont boot up. I can press camera down volume and power and get it into the bootloader. But I have no idea what to do from there. I am new to the droid X but I was successful with the HTC Hero. but this is new.

Looks like you'll want to SBF the device. Google search on how to SBF the Droid X and you should come up with some really good guides. Make sure you flash to 2.3.320 if you want to use the latest and greatest that Team Defuse has to offer. I would post a link to one of the guides, but I'm away from my computer today.

I have rsd lite and SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf I open the RSD and choose the sbf file but RSD doesn't find the phone. there are drivers loaded says Motorola Flash Interface v. 3.2.5.0. I have it in the bootloader says ok to program transfer mode usb. Thoughts
Thanks
Windows 7 64bit pro gives some difficulty with recognizing the phone. I suggest removing the motorola drivers and downloading them again.
I got it to work by plugging my phone in, then installing the drivers immediately after. It is screwy sometimes though.
Also RSD has device ID options. change that and see if it recognizes it. I also find that sometimes if I plug in my phone after RSD is open it finds it.
wow this has been a long process. after not able to get the phone to get recognized on Win7 I moved everything to my win xp comp. while it was in the provess of creating the image file ( took like an hour) the battery on my phone died. So I am charging the phone still. it's still creating a image file. Hope I can resume once phone is charged. I am not sure why the phone doesn't chrge while plugged into the USB port but ok. Thanks for the ideas so far. Will update later

FYI it shouldn't take over an hour to create image. I flashed the .320 SBF 2 days ago and the whole process from start to finish was under 10 minutes.
Also, I don't believe it charges when in bootloader mode. You could power it via USB if necessary (involves stripping a USB cable). I've never done it but there are various tutorials. I'll look around.

See code corrupt error section.
The easiest option is to charge your battery in another X.

yes I charged the phone to 100% and tried again and again the battery died before it finished. the sbf file I have is 280 Mb. If there is a smaller one then maybe it will work
It's more likely that the SBF file you have is bad or there is still some sort of USB driver issue going on. Try downloading it again from wherever you got it.
The phone should not go from 100% to dead in an hour. Also the SBF flash shouldn't take nearly that long.
for now I am stuck. I can't get the phone to charge the battery any more. When I plug the phone into the wall it just goes to the bootloader screen by its self and has an error number and a message that the battery is low. So I ordered some batteries with a wall charger. Once those arrive I will try again. thanks for all the help you guys are giving me. update later date

[Q] Defy Battery is not charging any more

Hi,
I've updated my Defy to the Chinese 2.21 Firmware a few days ago following this How-To http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=919320 and everything worked fine for a couple of days but now I have strange problems with my battery:
--if I connect the mobile to the power supply nothing happens. The white LED sometimes goes on for a split second but then stays black.
--if i connect the mobile to the computer the white led goes on and it starts charging the battery, but after a few minutes the mobile starts booting by itsself and a few moments after i see the motorola symbol the white LED is going off and the mobile boots up to froyo but it switches itsself off very soon because the battery is low.
Any ideas how to make my mobile usable again?
Thank you
If you got the chance, try a different battery...
i read somewhere that someone had luck with that.
In a few days I will get a second defy from a friend, then i can find out and tell you if it is a problem of the battery, the usb port or the software...

Hi guys,
I`ve just had the same problem with my green lense defy.
basically when you recover using the chinese sbf you get the defy + kernel with it so it becomes a red lense/ defy+ as far as the battery charging is concerned.
So you need to install the battery fix for the red lense or defy+
there's a updated fix for the cm10
copy the zip to your sd card and flash the zip from recovery and all will be well. either via the usb if this is working and you have enough charge left or put the sd card in your card reader or adaptor on pc.
You may need to charge the battery using macguyver method (not more than half an hour and stop if battery starts getting warm or it may go bang.) or preferably 3rd party lion charger £19.99 in maplins at the moment.
just on my way out the door so haven't got time to post the links but easy to find if you search this forum.
good luck

Thanks, but I have not used Chinese sbf, regular CM7.2 for my defy ( green lens); With macguyver I got the defy charged up, it boots up and all; Only problem is that anything with the usb is not working, neither charging, nor recognizing ( by RSdLite, Motorola Media link, or Windows). I have been using CM7.2 for months without any problem; Also after charging via macguyver I tried re installing to old backed up Motodefy ROM, and also reinstalled CM7, as I said evertthing works except anything connected to USB, tried also different computers , uninstalled medialink, re-installed RSDLite all the works
will try some more; Any hints links welcome. Thanks

[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

I think you're in stock recovery. What you need is install 2nd-init for the custom recovery and all it's features onboard...
Thanks for your reply!
I've tried to install 2nd-init (the stable, not the latest) and all it's ok...if I restarted my phone e try to enter to recovery mod, I see an Android BootMenu ( ) and I can choose stock recovery and custom recovery. If i start the custom it retunr this message:
Code:
Start Custom Recovery...
E:Can't run /system/bootmenu/script/recovery.sh (No such file or directory)
So confused....
Something braked with che CM9 kernel? If I start the stock recovery...I see the imaged attached in this post.
Boot normally into CM9. Open 2nd init and uninstall Bootmenu, then re-install bootmenu but chose "Latest - 1.0.7", not "Stable - 0.6.7"
Boot menu 1.0.7 is available with latest Sndinit2.0 version, get that sol from dev section and then install boot menu.

Thanks to everyone!
Now I'n with the 1.0.7...I have the same image on the recovery this is strange!
I've tried to flash with che CM9, but the install aborted with this message:
Code:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
EDIT: the same error with my CM7.2
I'm coming from a 7.2 NIGHTLY (cm72-120127.0846-NIGHTLY-Defy+). I've tried to install the CM9 from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100 (I've used the Quarx rom). After this my Defy+ wan unable to boot (black screen). After a few of stock rom I'm back to the default rom (the spanish version, not the italian...it doesn't work ). I would like to flash the CM9, but first I think there is a problem with the recovery...why it displayed the image with the alert? Another question...with the CM7 my recovery have got a lot of option...now I've: reboot/apply update from sd/wipe data/factory reset/wipe cache. Is it normal?
What the hell I've done?
Most likely you're trying to flash unsigned ZIPs and the recovery wants signed ones, or trying to flash what should be extracted as "backup" and restored. You can turn off signature checking in recovery, if you know that you're flashing correct ZIPs and they're unsigned.
The stock recovery ALWAYS displays an image with the alert, because you can NEVER change it, until Defy bootloader will be unlocked (if it'll ever happen). Nothing strange about it.
I was able to use recovery and I tried to reinstall the CM9, but now my phone looks dead! No boot, no boot error, no recovery...nothing! Black screen. If I plug the phone to my pc...RDS Lite does't recognized the Defy. I would try to flash the sbf and come back to the 7.2 NIGHTLY...but how?
Damn...I'm so sad for this I'm hope there is a workaround...

Did you press vol up and power??! You need to go to program mode for RSD lite to recognise your phone! It may have been that you flashed CM9 for Defy instead of CM9 for Defy+!! By no recovery do you mean you can't go even to stock recovery?!(Sounds almost impossible!)

Normally these steps are followed to flash SBF:
1.) go to bootloader mode (Vol up + power button. That's the program mode I was talking about)
2.) Now RSD lite will recognise your phone.
3.) Flash from RSD lite.
Are you saying that Vol up + power button = nothing happening in your phone? Not even black screen with
Bootloader .... blah blah
USB
Battery OK
Ready to program
????
If that's the case:
1.) Battery not charged.
2.) Go claim warranty!
Yes...this case! I know the bootloader screen
Code:
Bootloader .... blah blah
USB
Battery OK
Ready to program
but this time nothing...
Mhh...maybe the battery is near the 0% and the usb from a pc doesn't charge the phone? The led is white...but nothing. Maybe with the AC power?

Charge your battery... In another Defy phone, NOT McGyver method as many have already fried their batteries, using this trick!
I don't have another Defy for try this! I will try tonight at home, with the other cable connected directly to AC, and not to my pc. I hope it's work
No matter what cable you will try. At the moment your phone is not charging the battery. In order to start charging, you need to reflash it. And in order to reflash it, you need to get your battery charged... Sweet, ha? Get a buddy with a Defy to charge your battery and then reflash the phone.
Wow...this is a problem for me. Nobody have this phone and in Italy is not so much widespread...nobody know it :-(

It worked like charm, battery is fine, i was able to flash a new rom...
One Usb-Cable "broken" but well who cares.
But if you try it, you need to be very very veeery careful.
Friend of mine is Hifi-Electrician and i had a little help from him, for testing which wires are the right ones to connect.
You have to be aware, that this could kill your battery and you need to buy a new one.
But once, everything is connected the right way, you also need to know that there is no safety or fuse or whatever, that safes your battery, so dont put it on too long, in my case, it took about 5 to ten minutes for 50-70% of battery, so dont let it be connected too long.
And one last thing, make sure, that there is no possibility for the cables to hit any other connector(?) on the battery, use some kind of tape, to make them stay in there position.
If your still willing to try this, good luck to you, as I say, this works. I dont know which MC Guyver you like to try, but i would recommend the batterycharge only, so not connected to the phone, version.
But think about this docking station too, its way more comfortable, easier, less dangerous, and amazon is really fast in shipping, so it would probaply just take 1-2 days.
I fuound this in the forum

I think it's the best way...or not?
Thanks
EDIT: can I use the usb cable from a pc? Or I need to plug the cable directly into the AC power?

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
