Hi
I was gonna sell my old milestone2, so i decided to install the old Firmware (it was on CM) via rsd lite...
I pluged the phone in Bootloader mode and flashed it...
after flash i unpluged and it was... dead...
it wont turn on... and when i plug it to charge no led goes on.. even the one next to micro usb port...
can i still recover it?
thanks.
Do a full wipe in stock recovery.
Should fix your problem.
1. After you plug in USB cable, does PC recognize OMAP Flash device? In some cases screen stays black, but PC recognizes the phone, and you'll be able to flash sbf again. Remember not to flash an older bootloader ROM - it won't go (if you have an European 2.3.4 GB, you won't boot Froyo after flash, if you have Latin America 2.3.6 GB, you won't boot European GB nor Froyo).
2. Is your battery charged? If it's completely dried, you'll have to charge it before flash, either with an external charger, or with live +5V and GND wires from cut off USB cable (as someone described earlier).

Just wiped and reset my Bravo and now it is in an endless boot loop. Tried to use RSD lite to load the sbf but the drivers are not working. RSD lite does not recognize my device.

Go to stock recovery by pressing power+volume down, then press both volumes buttons and wipe data/cache.
If you want to flash your phone with RSD Lite, you have to turn on your phone pressing power+volume up, then you will be in bootloader mode, then connect the phone to the PC via USB and flash the SBF.
The stock recovery doesn't work for some reason it was giving me an error. Can't get into the bootloader mode because the battery won't charge. I'm getting the question mark battery icon whenever I go to charge the phone and the bootloader says the battery is too low.
I actuality cheated the too low battery can't charge part. I took an old charger of mine and cut off the end. I then took the neg and pos ends and taped them to the battery so they made contact with the batt. NOT each other. Then I put the battery into the phone and held it there until RSD loded my sbf and then had a party. Took me like 3 hours to think of it. Anyway, after it loaded I undid everything and put the battery back in and plugged in the charger and charged it to %100. FYI Always start with a fully charged battery. BTW on most chargers the wire that is rough or has lines is negitive i belive. I am not responsable for anything you do to your phone resulting from this post.

if you dont wanna cut your OEM charger , you can buy a battery charger that charges battery only , they are really like 3 bucks free shipping off ebay, sometimes you can buy a high capacity battery and a charger combo for like 12 bucks
i hope everything works out for you
i just found this how to solve your battery problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
Summery: Cut end off any USB cable. Connect red to + on battery, Black to -. Insert into phone. Plug other end into a) computer b) wall plug and then boot into bootloader. Plug standard USB cable into phone and then computer. Flash correct SBF file with your choice of RSD Lite. Done.
Did I miss anything?
Oh and I posted in the Defy forum and was tossed out for comparing it to the Bravo. Touchy guys overthere.

If you can connect it to the battery only, it will be less dangerous for your phone.
It could charge something, walter79 did it with his defy!
--------------------------------------
DEFY owners dont know that defy has a little brother which needs lot of attention, because it has the same potential.
True true but I was in a hurry. Worked anyway. After reading I did look at the charger that I used and it does only put out 3.8v at 875Ma so it's so close at being the same power as the battery it'self that I don't think the phone knew any better. Oh well the what if's and shouldi've's of the world.
And yes the Bravo is Defy's little brother but only in parts....... Kinda a more 2nd cousion looked over at family gatherings and get's the crap parts of the Thanksgiving turkey, (Sniff, sniff, tear).
So I fixed the battery problem but now I have some other problems. When I try to do the volume down power android recovery to try to update.zip. When I do this I get an error 7 meaning that I probably don't have a stock app installed from what I've read. Then I tried to do the RSD lite install and the only RSD lite I can get to recognize my phone is 3.9. I've tried 4.5.7, 4.9, and 5.0. Each of these can't recognize my phone when I plug it in. When I try to run 3.9 I get a can't find INI error. Please HELP!
Umm, real quick do you have MotoHelper installed?
Yup motohelper is installed and my computer recognizes the flash device. RSD lite 3.9 detects my phone but fails to install the sbf and no other RSD has been able to detect my phone.
Used a different computer with windows 7 32-bit and a newer version of RSD Lite and on the first try it installed the sbf!
I just flashed cm7 port by tezet to my MS2 which had the german Vodafone firmware.
Then it failed to reboot, I tried again and again with volup and voldown.
Then I put it into bootloader mode with keyboard x and power on.
Installed the Moto Drivers MotoHelper_2.1.40_Driver_5.5.0 and RSD Lite RSDLite5.4.4 on my Windows vm,
connected the ms2 to it and let it flash the wrong sbf, i clicked the froyo one and didnt notice until after. It said done.
Now it does absolutely nothing (no screen on, no rsdlite connection) except when plugged in on usb, but even then, just the white led at the usb port is on. Nothing else.
May this be a hard brick?

Have you tried flashing the right firmware through RSD Lite?
Can you get into bootloader mode?

I solved it.
The battery somehow failed to be recognized, but was definitely full.
I switched it with the battery of another MS2 and back.
Then I could get bootloader again.
Hi guys
I recently bought a defy plus (bl7) , rooted it and installed ms2ginger. Since yesterday it's USB is not working for data transfer or anything except for charging, the device wont charge even using the data cable, however it charges through a charger. I want to get it repaired since it's under warranty, but with custom ROM i can't. I have a stock sbf file with me, but it can't be flashed with no working USB. Is there any way to flash custom sbf through the recovery..?
things i have tried :
Used different USB cables
Tried on ubuntu, arch linux, windows xp, windows 7
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31062260&postcount=2
Does it charge on the usal power supply? If yes, get CM7 zip on your sd-card and flash it in cwm!

well, it does charge, but it doesnot really detect a USB cable connected to computer, it just gets the screenlight on, thats it. there is no option to choose which mode i want to connect it as... it charges only from the charger, and for USB connected to computer, it wont even charge, just gets the screen light on.
Even if i boot from recovery and mount my sdcard, it still doesnt shows up on computer.
Update : RSDLite detects it, flashed my stock sbf over it, i hope if i get a warranty.. but weird thing is.. if RSDLite works.. why not usb works on PC.. i tried this with linux and windows both, in linux it doesnt even populate this device in /dev node.. this is really weird, even stock firmware doesnt detect USB, doesnt even charges from it.. just gets the backlight on.. rest it charges through the charger. totally confused..

Another update, lsusb on linux lists the device, RSDLite always detects it..and it does let me flash perfectly.. on phone it occasionally detects USB... whenever it does not, if i toggle ADB option in settings, it shows that USB is connected in status bar, however setting value there has no change, but SOMETIMES it does detect the USB.. i dont think its a hardware fault, if it was it wouldnt be detected by RSDLite...
i have tried changing the rom too, tried ms2ginger, stock, and Cyanogenmod 9 and 10.. all give the same issue.. only one advantage i get in Cyanogenmod is that it charges over USB, that's it.. it detects it as a charger...
In recovery menu as well i cant mount it.. Please Help.. anyone? :crying:
By the way this issue is similar to this one :
but the solution doesnt work for me as i dont get phoneutils with that combo

Please ask all questions in the Q&A section. Thread moved there.
Flashed the KitKat like everyone did and now my computer does not detect my phone... And phone shows that it's being charged even after i plug out my usb cable... :'(
I have reflashed the firmware multiple times...
(EDIT)
I did flashed the 4.4 bootloader ... My phone did not boot without flashing the boot loader... I'm now certain that something is wrong with my firmware... Because odin detects my phone pretty well...
- I have few problems now my phone does not detect when i plug it in the usb wall plug , means doesn't show that it is charging
- Or it shows that the device is charging even when the usb is not connected...
- PC does not recognize it

pull the battery out see if that helps and see if theres a kies update
Nope, didnt show anything... I guess i have to cry louder.. But thankfully it's not hardware problem
I installed this rom https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/stock-rom-npjs25-93-14-4-march-1-t3608138 on the same ROM but rooted now my phone does not support turbo charging and if I plug my phone to the pc is not displayed, before that clean the micro usb port of my phone, I do not know if it damaged it or does not support turbo charge for having flashed wrong.
Could you tell me what the problem is? if it is wrong flashed as I flash it back if I can not connect it to the pc? or is it the micro usb port and do I have to change it?

No rom affects turbo charging in any way. Check the temperature of your phone and the connection/cable. Reflashing may be an option to.
@megasjuan turbo charging is hardware feature and has nothing effect even of wrong flash (many one did wrong flashing and lost one imei of slot-2 and with model number, in your case it seems to be fine, right? )
You said you cleaned usb port, it may be damaged that while, or may be not.
Turn your phone off and plug it to charging, then see what that charging screen says.
For computer connection, try updating driver / remove and install again / change usb cable or different usb slot of computer.
Then you can conclude what's wrong.
