Hi all! Need urgent assistance here as i've messed up again.. Installed dexter's motoblur rom but initial loading just struck at the boot animation. Tried to go to nandroid but couldnt enter (yellow triange with a cross). Tried reformatting sdcard and pasting back the openrecovery folder and openrecovery.zip does not work. Tried with multiple sdcards. I was thinking if the system went into the ext3 partition to look for the files instead of the fat32 one... but couldnt find a way to paste the files into ext3 partition. Any suggestions?
Thank you very much!!!!

Probably you forgot to wipe data/cache after you flashed motoblur? Some random ideas roughly in the order I would try them:
Double check that the FAT partition is first and bootable?
Double check that the SD card has no logical partitions
Reformat the entire SD card as FAT, primary, bootable put on OR
If that still doesn't work, try Motorola recovery (gallery+shutter while powering on, when you see the triangle screen press volume+shutter to get menu, select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition"--also note Motorola recovery uses gallery not shutter to select menu options)
If that still doesn't work I'd flash SBF
Looks like I have to do the SBF method. How do i get started with it?
Thanks a lot
I have bell sbf I will upload it to you if can.

Hmm. You tried factory reset in Motorola recovery and it still wouldn't boot? One last thing would be to remove the sd card and see if you can boot.
Here's reverendkjr's tutorial on SBF flashing:

I think that one is fine. I shortened the filenames in my copies, though. I have a US XT720 and I've used both of these successfully (you can compare the md5sums with your file to verify we're talking about the same file):
8216de0df7bd2d025db900f1fbf708b9 UK_STR_U2_01.1E.0.sbf
082af13d2412e1cc63f8f9e530dad855 US_STR_U2_04.1E.1.sbf
hmm, the UK rom i downloaded gives critical error halfway while flashing. Downloading SEA sbf atm..
Hmm........battery ran out. and after charging for 15 mins, phone ons and bootloader says battery low. and it seems that phone does not charge in bootloader cos it was plugged in when phone hasnt died completely.. any idea how to charge up the battery?

Unfortunately, this is tedious but it works: charge with the battery cover off. Watch it closely. When the phone starts to boot, pull the battery out. Put it back in. It will continue charging without booting immediately. Keep an eye on it. When it starts to boot again, repeat by pulling the battery again. Repeat this for a while (3hrs?) until you believe the battery should be charged enough.
Another option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
yep, Mioze7Ae solution works. It's because the battery doesn't charge up if it's in Recovery Mode. And Recovery Mode eats battery..
lol interesting will try in the morning...4am atm :S
Hmm, if i take out the battery w/o shutting down then phone would still be awake even w/o battery. Then i off and on the switch again and plug the batt in again. Screen is empty now and led is not lighted up. Pressing power button will start recovery again (but batt still low atm). Is that correct?
Thanks
Thanks everyone its up again :d
Hi,
1. I rooted my phone successfully.
2. I installed droid2recovery.apk
3. Restarted. Installed CM10 and Gaaps (wrong version)
4. Reboot. Everything was normal with some annoyances due to the wrong version of Gaaps.
5. Checked and the phone was already rooted in CM10. Installed droid2recovery.apk again. Reboot.
6. Trapped in bootloop.
7. Reboot and enter in system recover.
8. Tried to install CM10 and correct Gaaps. Not possible due to failed to verify whole-file signature.
9. Discover that official recover mode doesn't install unofficial roms.
10. Searched for official roms of Milestone 2 BR. All links are broken.
11. I flashed downgrade_for_bl_3 with RSD Lite. Everything was ok. PASS.
12. Still bootloop. Enter in recover mode. Black screen. Can't see the android icon with exclamation mark.
Is my phone a paper holder now? Please advise.
I'm really without luck today.
I manage to flash a SBF with Android 2.3.6, exactly like the one I had. But then I couldn't root, not with the same method I rooted mine, not with any other method.
Then I downloaded another SBF and used RSD Lite to flash it, and the phone completely died. RSD reported everything OK, PASS, Finished, perfect.
Now nothing happens. The phone is off, black screen. Completely dead. But if I hit Power + Vol - + Camera, the computer recognize. But nothing on the screen. I'm re-flashing the same SBF again.
Why different thing happen when I proceed the same way as I did in the past?
Why can't I just flash a recover boot that accepts direct installation of Cyanogen Mod 10???

You have to flash that same Android 2.3.6 SBF file, you can't use any more that "another sbf". For rooting that 2.3.6 use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750277
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758271 this can help too
After you get CM10 back running, do not use droid2recovery.apk anymore!
Thank you. That really helped.

Because you already have recovery and you don't need it... doing this you can destroy something (maybe 2-init or 2-boot), and you will need to recover your phone using RSD Lite.

Hi Douglas, did you get the milestone working again? I'm stucked with the same problem, the rsdlite recognize my cellphone I can flash it but the screen is black. Anything works
How do you fix it?
You can still flash other sbfs, but when do turn on, you need to go in recovery mode, than clear cache and data. It will start normally again.
To go to stock recovery hold when turn on "@" or "x", than when show the "android with ! " you hold volume - and foto or volume + and foto or the volume + and -, than you are in recovery.
Sorry about my English
I am showing all the option because I do not remember perfect what to do... But it works

boot into stock recovery and do a full wipe. This will solve your problem.
Press Power and x (on your Hardwarekeyboard) for several seconds. Release the buttons and you will see a yellow triangle with an exclamationmark in it. Now press vol up and down key together. voilla you got it

I wish it was that simple. After flashing the phone is completely dead. And now I cant even go to bootloader anymore.... :crying:
could your problem be battery related? do you have a chance to try using another battery?

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I was charging the battery
No, the problem is not the battery. Nothing works anymore. The phone doesn't even turn ON. All Black screen, not even boot loop.
So I get into the bootloader and flash new room. I can see the SN Updated text. But that is it. After it doesn't work.
I flashed DOWNGRADE BL =3 and then I flashed MILA2_U6_3.12.0_SIGNED_US1MILESTONE2PERARB125LA016.0R_GSXMILETPERARLA_P022_A013_M006_HWp2a_WIG142538_Service1FF
Nothing. Black Screen.
Then I flash M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_R01_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBPERARB125LA001.0R_STABLE45LAMILETPERLA_P013_A028_M001_HWp2a_Service1FF.
Then I get boot loop.
:S

wait. wait. wait.(on the screen)
1. 1/2 updating
2. 2/2 updating
3. big tick
4. restarting.
then it should restart. again, and again, and again. and it will continue to bootloop until it actually boots up successfully for the first time. Please remove battery, plug in usb cable then only perform the upgrade (YES, WITHOUT THE BATTERY!)
Tell me if it works this way.
Or, is the problem that is something like this:
1. Huawei logo shows
2. Huawei logo with some firework animation, then slows down, then complete freeze, then again reboot? and same thing happen?
erm, add on: i forgot.
Let's assume you have done all of the above, but the ROM again crashes spectacularly on its own... try doing this.
1. Remove battery
2. plug in usb cable.
3. press power ON and volume up button
it should be no more blue screen but a *<3E>* recovery.

Right, stay calm, this is easy to fix. Im not in pc so you need to do all work. Turn your phone in punkscreen mod after right click on my computer and click in tje second option (i dont remember the name :-s manage I think). On that window click on manage devience. Now on the line apears outher deviences look for android devience or huawei, right click and click update driver (on the first option)
I think after that you are ready to install the new recovery
I will fo rest for now I will wait a few mins for your reply and I will go sleep I'm tired with you don't fix your problem I promise you, tomorow I will help you
So I'm rooted with TWRP loki and had CM 11 on and running for a while. I just downloaded the latest nightly through CM OS and it asked to be rebooted.
Upon rebooting to TWRP and installing the update it then just kept on trying to reboot with the CM logo. I cannot get the power and volume keys to boot it to recovery and my computer won't recognize it in this state to boot into recovery.
Any ideas??!! Please! I don't know of any way to restore it.

I had to take the back off and manually unplug the battery to turn it off. Then I tried the button combinations posted *power and V down* when LG logo comes on repeat to get to wipe screen. However, the phone did not go to the wipe screen, it just rebooted again.
If I could get it to boot to recovery I'd be golden.

I also tried to partition my sd card using twrp.
Flashing of twrp seemed not successful using fastboot. So I unplugged the USB-Cable and restarted in recovery and twrp was there!
So I went further and tried to partition sd. Unsuccessful. Then I decided to give up and rebooted to system.
Phone screen remained black. I tried everything to boot phone. No reaction at all. No vibration, nothing. Only when I connect the charger the buttons light up for 5 secs. But no way to boot, not fastboot, nor recovery or system. Just nothing.
I tried then to disconnect the battery (It's a replaced battery already) but also this did not help.
No I really need help...
