So my milestone was running 2.3.6/VIVO, but it couldnt be rooted, so i tried flashing 2.3.6/TIM, RSD showed 'PASS' but the phone wont turn on. Not even to the M logo, not even light up the notification LED. So i noticed RSD was still recognizing it, so i tried flashing 2.3.6/TIM again. Also tried flashing retail, but still no success. Any ideas??

Download Vivo 2.3.6 again and reapply the SBF, that's the only way you'll be able to use your phone.
Both Vivo and Personal ROMs can't be rooted, and you can't put a different ROM. Take a look in the Android Development forum, there's a thread explaining it.
So i'm stuck with vivo rom??
where can i find it to flash it again? when i flashed it, i downloaded from http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2, but the link is off

Unfortunately, you are stuck with it, nobody found a way to use a different rom after applying that sbf. I don't have the link, but someone reuploaded all the ROMs some time ago, I'm sure someone saved the links and will post'em here.

Retail and TIM are working fine for root, it's 2.3.6 like the others one, but it doesn't have the same security level that VIVO, tigo colombia or personal ARG, we are stuck on that firmware and we can't get root or downgrade...

Probably the one you tried was just corrupted hehe, good to see you got it sorted.
And yeah, the special Eclair SBF wont work since all these new Defy+ Roms come with CG6, and that one is CG5.

Hi, ace, I had a 2.3.6 Defy+ and got screwed too, by flashing a 2.3.4 custom ROM without being aware of the locked bootloader / no-downgrade lock.
Please, where did you find stock ROM / sbf file for 2.3.6 Defy+ ? I need it but can't find it
EDIT: nvm. I found it myself =)
Hi guys, apologies for flooding other threads as well

Hello.
I just downloaded the OTA update from the google servers (VQ8PQk_V.zip) and applied it.
My baseband version appeared as "Unknown", so, in my infinite wisdom, I decided to flash the XXKF1-GRK39F radio through fastboot.
The problem is that it's been stuck at "writing 'radio'..." for more than 15 mins now. What should I do?
EDIT:
I have a NANDROID backup from just before the update. If I pull out the battery and restore it, will my radio restore, too?
...why don't you flash radio via recovery ?
Ok, I solved it. Here's how:
-since I was stuck at "writing 'radio'..." I did a battery pull.
-installed the Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/XXKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader Flashable rom from the ALL-OTA thread.
-restored my nandroid backup
Everything's back to normal and I'm back on 2.3.6. Gonna wait for the official i9023. For a moment there, I thought I ruined my phone.
I have tried a couple of custom roms since I got this phone, but I'm not completely comfortable with everything.
huh....funny enough, I applied the update again, and this time the radio updated properly. everything works fine
Hi
I am using a Nexus S I9023 (India). I just updated my phone to 4.0.3 using the ROM file downloaded from XDA today. Now, there is no signal, it doesn't even read my sim card. It says the same msg under Baseband version, "unknown". except this everything else seems to work fine. I have not taken any back also before the upgrade.
Please help.
I do have the same problem: My Nexus S i9023 had 2.3.6 Stock ROM and after the Update, the Baseband/Network/IMEI/etc is UNKNOWN. How can I get back 2.3.6.?

Use fastboot to flash custom recovery. And then flash the full stock 2.3.6 and await the OTA.

The ota you are flashing patches the radio KF1, you guys are probably are on a different radio and the radio doesn't patch correctly.
This is the full rom ota 4.0.3, just flash and everything will work http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/ZD3PyN0t.zip[/QUOTE]

you sir are correct. Fixes my signal issues
Sorry for the noob question as I can't seem to easily find the answer through search but how do you flash the this other 4.0.3 rom? Running ICS already from the other rom (VQ8PQk_V.zip).
Can I just do this again using the fastboot? Although I've tried going back to recovery and it doesn't work, as has been stated in the forum. The fixes for the recovery look complicated and require rooting (I think). I haven't rooted my i9023 yet.

There is no info in your previous posts. What stock motorola sbf's have you flashed? Can you get into bootmenu.
How are you trying to flash MIUI? If you're stuck on bootscreen you have to flash stock rom again (and wipe in stock recovery) and next do all the needed steps to get a custom rom working.
Don't just flash any sbf please and tell us witch u already have tried as you will have to flash a rom with the same bl nr.

Hello all,
For the 2nd time in 3 years I have bricked my phone. I was using Cyanogen 7.2 in the past and today I have decided to try MIUI.
After a flash i was geting reboot before Android was loaded to I decided to install the base OS.
Installed RSDLite5.6 -- shashed one of the oficial Andro for version 2.2.1 I think (closed page and I don't have it in front now) and device is all dead.
I know in the past I have flashed a chinese ROM and was working again...rooted and all of that but I can't find a download link for a ROM to do this.
I am not shure how to proceed also.
Can you guys help me, it will be much apreciated.
I've got the same problem, tried to root with superoneclick, first time it didn't go through, 2nd time it went through. Phone turned off (instead of rebooting) and screen is black since then, doesn't come on....

I can't flash a custom rom now because I don't have recovery. The only thing I can do with my phone is to enter download mode.
As far as I know I have to:
- flash a new room that I can use it to boot device and work on it.
- root device and install recovery
- install cooked rom
My problem is that I don't know what to flash so that I can boot my phone --- now it is in the dead phase
You have to flash an sbf, not a ROM(that's what you will flash once you get back recovery). Read the defy beginners guide to get the steps. Basically:
Get sbf (search and download)
Get rsdlite and Motorola USB drivers
Flash it (from boot loader mode)
