[HELP] Milestone 2 bricked (SBF Not Working, No Recovery, No Battery Charge)

Hey i will try to be as precise as possible. I'm posting in this section because in the general section the help isn't as effective as here.
Here is my problem:
A few days ago i flashed GB MIUI on my Milestone 2 everything worked perfectly and i used the phone a whole day. That night i've put the phone to charge and went to bed. Il the morning when i push the power button the phone didn't boot. I was stuck at the first M bootscreen (Red at the time).
I wasn't able to do anything no recovery the phone didn't seem to be charging so i decided to flash Stock FR SBF (One i used many times)
Once completed i let the phone tying to Boot for about one hour. After that i pulled the battery out and tried to get to recovery but no success. Holding the X button while booting wasn't getting me to recovery because the wouldn't get pass the First Moto bootscreen (Recovery open after that).
So i've flashed since then a handful of SBF from and-developpers:
2.2 FR
2.2 CH
2.2 UK
2.2.2 FR
2.2.2 CH
2.2.2 UK
2.2.2 Hong Kong
2.2 China
Official GB Leak signed
Still wasn't able to get throught the first moto bootscreen.
r2beta0 had an idea so if someone can please help me get through this. I think i'm done with flashing things...
r2beta0 said:
Hmm, I just had an idea that needs elaboration. As we know we can flash any partition of the phone using sbf_flash or RSD Lite. If his problem really can be solved doing a data wipe it would be also solved by flashing a new "empty" CG37.smg. It doesn't need to be signed because /data is not checked by bootloader. So, we need a Milestone2 /data empty image (CG37.smg). One could do a data wipe and take the image of with dd command, but it would be a HUGE file (6,5 GB). I don't know if we can use a smaller file just to clean his /data. Maybe someone can elaborate that.

Maybe you can flash a modded SBF, with a modded CG37 and a new CG that points to addresses from the middle of data to its end, and make two partitions with data spare space for the dual booting project, is that even possible?
Well, at least when you pack and zip it the SBF won't be hard to upload.
PS: Does the Milestone 1 full SBFs have the data CG included?

I tried holding X button while i plug the phone the Wall charger but no sucess either. I just can't get to the screen with the Exclamation point...
I've tried to be as precise as possible to help people who will or already tried to help me. Please don't delete my thread or move it after i've put so much effort in this...
I've search in hundreads of threads around different forum XDA is my last chance...
I thanks everyone who will take some time to help me or even at least read this.

I don't know if this is going to help, but you could try that anyway:
- Download MotoAndroidDepacker (utility to unpack/repack SBF's)
- Choose one stock SBF (2.2 FR for example)
- Open and unpack it with the utility
- Rename CG66.smg to CG37.smg (you are going to use preinstall image as data image, both are ext3, but has different sizes. Don't know if it's going to work).
- Use utility to open folder with unpacked images and repack it
- Put phone in bootloader mode and flash the repacked SBF (rebuilt/firmware.sbf)
- Post results here

I just did it no results still the same!
I don't think it looks good.
I didn't pull out the battery yet i wan't to give it a chance. I'll edit this post

Something is very wrong with your phone. I think your best bet is to reflash stock SBF and send your phone to warranty.

Did you try other options "dumb"? For example, change the simcard, change the sdcard, charge the battery with other alternative (universal charger)

@r2beta0 i think you are right i'll wait i someone help me until tomorrow evening if not i'll send it back to moto.

Have you tried to use sbf_flash on linux/mac?

I've tried Linux but no result... We are 3 french who have the exact same probleme it can't be Hardware?
Our Milestone 2 are somewhat different than others... I've phoned motorola for my problem today they told me to send it to a partner repair center but he warned me that if they discover i did something to the phone it will cost my a lot of money...
I'm sending it monday morning i'm really hoping for a solution before than...

Im not sure about service sbf vs the one that wipes user data. We have that kind of sbf for m2?
On the other side, looks like ROM chip go bad.

I'll ask some obvious question...you did not have any errors when flashing ? it always complete the process? Can you get into the bootloader when it print version 70.12 or 70.13 ?
Another obvious thing, did you verify md5 after downloading sbf ?

So it happenned both to us when we intalled MIUI so the problem is MIUI. Because i was using CM7 since Endless7 post the instruction avec Defy's ROM. And the phone was perfect...
We both have French Milestone 2 and i don't think it is my fault. I quite shure i did everything straight. I maybe a noob in dev or other things. But I have experience in flashing things...
My bootloader is 70.12 so it's different than Alex. And i used just like Alex the French Stock sbf i used everything i needed a freash clean install
When i flash i get to the "Please reboot phone manually" like everytime and then pull the battery go to bootloader and get finish

I had problems with miui too. After install MIUI and try back to MS2Ginger, phone dont boot, stuck at the first M bootscreen. So I try a full wipe and same problem, stuck at the first M. Mine bootloader was 70.12, so I flash the 70.13 and the spanish 2.2.2 sbf, and after a data and cache wipe, phone boot again.
Note: After flash a sbf, I dont remove the battery and pull again to get "Pass" on RSD Lite... just waiting to finish the process and disconnect the phone

My phone is supposed to have the 70.12 bootloader right? If i flash the new one won't the repair center see that i modified the software?
The is no 70.12 bootloader on and-developper so how do i get back?
My phone doesn't not get to PASS it never did even in past... Except when i could do a wipe data and cache before flash

If you flash the 70.13 you do not be able to back to 70.12, so think before. When RSD is in reboot your phone 30%, I always remove my phone and never have problems
If you want try, here is the 70.13

The bootloader for the sbf 2.2.2 is 70.13 ! I remenber well, i did the official update on a windows pc, and it started by updating bootloader! But it's good news and may be just some sort of sbf incompatibility with the bootloader...just find the correct ones?

[Q] Need Help !! Defy can't boot at all !!

Hi All beloved expert,
I own defy MB525, after my RSD lite load the following file:
T-Mobile_MB525_6.19.0_1FF.sbf,
my phone can't start at with light on. I try to use RSD to load again this :
shadow_defy_2.3.3_85_Orange.sbf, cannot any more.
Now, my RSD cant detect my phone where the my defy white light is on.
May i know what should i do because i new here, possible to direct me the file for me to load again step by step.
Many thanks
Addy

did you wipe cache after flashing? maybe thats the problem, try go on recovery and wipe cache, try wipe data too, i think it will solve your problem, i had the same some weeks ago
tell me if it works

It seems that you flashed a CG version smaller than the stock rom had, from wich ROM you changed to T-Mobile_MB525_6.19.0_1FF.sbf??
Please read before flashing any stuff...
Read this, use the SBF depacker and the package to know the version of the CG files, then check the version of the CG39, CG31 files

2)getting SFB file for my defy version(INDIA-Mumbai) and how to use it : Only use 2.2.2 SBF. If you flash newer sbf you might not be able to downgrade thereafter.
5)Do I need to root to carryout this process? : This flashing process will bring the phone to factory defaults (Stock) so it will be automatically unrooted. However, you may root again later.

Do you have the RSD Lite and the USB drivers installed. If not then refer to this article:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216982
For the SBF file use the following direct link to download the SBF:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...NFRYORTINT15_P001_A013_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz
[Note: The above SBF is not Chinese which causes the flash burn; it is Taiwanese and safe to flash.]
Download and extract the above file.
1. Launch RSD lite and select the above extracted SBF file;
2. Turn off the phone and remove and replace the battery;
3. Press Volume UP and Power button until you see Bootloader menu;
4. Once its shows the Bootloader menu connect the USB cable to the RSD lite and then start the flashing process;
5. Phone will update the software and once it shows Success you are good to go.
Hope it helps!
Good Luck!!

WANT A ROOTABLE SBF for my defy plus

before wanting to help if u want to know the whole situation what happened then u can see it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1713465
now my problem is that i want an SBF for my motorola defy plus MB256 which is stable, can be rooted , can be upgraded to ics CM9 and with no bugs........since i am only able to flash the SBF of these type
DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231
any other sbf i try is failed
(rsdlite says pass but black screen shows up whith white led)
:crying:
currently i am using DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN_USADEFYEMARAB1B8RTGB005.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTGB_P023_A025_M002_Service1FF
also DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231 types are all unrootable and hence i am helpless

Firstly: there is no such thing as CM9 with no bugs (but they are getting better and better). Second: use search option before posting. You're not special. This question has been asked 1000 times.
The black screen when flashing is because you're trying to flash an sbf with a lower codegroup version. You're on level 7. There is no downgrade to any sbf woth a lower codegroup version. Read about it here (search the first post for "downgrade")
You can't use the rooting toolkits because you have bootloader7 (e-fuse "blown" to level 7. The old rooting exploits don't work any more) How to root your build: DFP-188, DFP-231, DFP-2311 BL7 Finally Rooted
Please, guys: I'm not on bl7 myself, so correct me if I'm wrong on anything.

Redownload the files. make sure you use both files from the same source(either both CN or both CEE). do a complete wipe from recovery. The error you are getting occurs when you flash an SBF with lower version than you are on but since CG7 is highest till date, this means you can flash those only with a CG7 SBF. I read what you did.
PS: BL7 is rootable by flashing a rooted SBF.Thats what the other thread is about.

yea now i get it i got the error on this step
4. Flash rooted SBF 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN Rooted SBF Part.1, 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN Rooted SBF Part.2 or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE Rooted SB
it might be because i skipped this step
2. Flash 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 CN or 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE (It doesn't matter what version of this two You flash but it must be the same with version from point 4).
because i thought that i already had DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_BLUR_SIGN
so it might work but it didnt this time ill try the complete process
thank u guys

what to do now

Dear tusharbhan,
it seems your datacable is too long (it will loss signals if the cable is disfunctional), try it with a very short datacable and use the usb-port which directly connected with the motherboard of your computer.

I don't think the length is the problem (I use an extended cable which is double the length of original)but yes changing the cable or port might do it.

The files might be corrupted, Re-download,also try changing your port/cable.
Also check you RSDLite version too.

Good you got it rooted (I already told you to keep both files same And its mentioned explicitly at the Root thread)
You need Custom recovery to flash a custom ROM.
Install 2ndInit first
And just be careful before you begin with anything.Never Hurry. Reading carefully what's written won't hurt you. But doing idiotic mistakes just coz you weren't careful will.

Update cm9 for defy plus
Install 2ndInit Recovery Installer v2.3

then select recovery mode and select custom recovery mode ok
1.wipe data factory rest
2.wipe cache partition
3.install zip from sdcard
4.choose the cm9-20120620.0731-Defy+
5.install this zip
6.chose gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Then reboot u r defy plus it will take 3mins boot

You sure everything you posted is correct.!! Better detail things and maintain integrity of your posts. Helping someone is a good thing but a small mistake could end up in disaster.
@OP Here is the link for supported ROMs(see the first post). You can chose any under Gingerbread.
Here is [APP] 2ndInit Read installation instructions carefully. At this step you can screw your phone.
What a Custom recovery and 2ndInit is, you'll find it here.
PS: Since the problem(rooting) you started this thread for is solved, its better to post your relevant questions in the respective threads and discontinue this one.This makes thing confusing and hectic for users.

thanks

Look for the SBF of the firmware version you had here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
Copy and search the MD5 here to download: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php
Follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032372&highlight=recover
If you are not sure, tell me which android version you had and from which operator (o retail) it was.
If you are not sure about the last, tell me your country and keyboard type.
Good luck.

SBF is not working. The start button does nothing and show device either. So just found out RSDLite does not work on every PC.

i think you should flash stock GB rom, for example this one: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...LE2GBQWRTGB_P016_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz
rather than stock FROYO
if you live in europe, doesn't really matter if you flash british, french or italian rom, my MS2 was purchased in italy but i flashed british rom and it works fine.
perhaps you have similar problem to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369926

Try renaming the SBF to something more simple (like froyo.sbf) and put it in the root of the drive (C:\)
Also, this may be a silly question, but, did you unzip it? The sbf comes compressed as a .sbf.gz file, unzippable with 7zip or WinRAR (or similar).
Did you boot successfuly into bootloader mode? (The black screen with weird text)
Good luck

Yes I unzipped. And have got to bootloader and stock recovery. Stock recovery wipe doesn't stop bootloop. Do you mean place SBF in root of PC drive?

Exactly. Then load it in RSD Lite and try again.
Sometimes RSD doesn't like long file paths.
