[Q] Milestone 2 in bootloop

---

Hey all there,

i just bought for some cheap money a milestone 2 on the bay with bootloop problems.

it startsup like this:
just power on with the power button:
red m logo, after some seconds it turns for about a half second to a black screen, again red m logo, and again and again and again

enter the bootloader works fine - 70.13

enter the system recovery works on charger, wiping out didn't help

flashing with rsd lite worked, but didn't change the situation with the bootloop. even after flashing, and wipe out after that.

i'm using windows 7 32bit and x64 on another computer in combination with rsd-lite 5.6
with rsd-lite 4.9 or earlier my device isn't recognized. admin and compitibility is on at all versions of rsd-lite.

anone an idea how to get this stone working again?

i'm a little confused, cause i saw so many posts, of people getting the stone back after flashing with rsd...hmm any help is pleased

Flash with RSD Lite 5.6... reboot

make wipes (POWER and X....... Vol + and Vol -)... reboot

has to boot normally ...

Just tried several versions of firmware. nothing did work.
i'm thinking about getting the 70.13 bootloader file and flash the bootloader once more.
or give it a try and flash the phone with an update.zip over recovery mode.
but first problem is: i don't have the booloader and the only mirror was megaload, at second i don't have any oem update.zip files. well i will look forward. can't understand why the phone is still looping.
would be happy about any other good suggestions.

Bootloader 70.13

thanks a lot for the bootloader, but did not help. still bootloop.
now i tried all german, DACH, UK GB fimware.
always rebooting and wiping.
Tha phone is still in bootloop.
May be an OEM update.zip could help. i still got access to the recovery mode.
is it possible to boot from the recovery mode into openrecovery, when the bootloader is original? don't think so, but will try that now.
still happy about an help here.

Don't use a 2 ou 2.2 android..I think it's on GB so you can't downgrade..

Charge your battery to 100%
Folow the step here with a 2.3.4 SBF take here

Have a nice day.

Hey all there,

i already tried to flash GB 2.3.4 Firmware for: Germany, DACH, UK - didn't work out.
of course i did a wipe after installing.
also i tried a rebuilt by renaming CG66.img into CG37img - didn't work out.

just saw, that when i rebuilt the firmware after changing cg66.img to cg37.img, the cg37.img file doesn't appear in the new built SBF.
any reason for that? hmm...

while depacking and rebuilt a SBF i saw, that the RAMDLD.img (ramdownloader) in the 2.3.4 GB DE retail SBF is in version 70.12. i'm no expert in built SBF files, just did this the first time, but could this have an incompatibility with the 70.13 bootloader?
well cause the phone was quite cheap, i will go on trying. may be some more of you guys have any ideas.

the standing now is:
reflash 70.13 bootloader - didn't work out,
flash any 2.3.4 GB SBF and wiping out data after flash - didn't work out
flash update.zip from recovery mode - haven't tried yet - need update.zip file or instruction how to built one.

the last point is my next step i think. i will now go reading how to get this manage.
any help is welcome!

Okay just learned, that flashing an update.zip with system recovery, doesn't erase any data on the phone, so will look forward, trying flash the phone with sbf under linux live cd.
may be this will help.
does anyone of you know some hardware testing tools for the milestone 2?
to test the ram/rom hardware...
i'm starting to think, that some of the hardware chips may be damaged.
hmm i always thought, that it is not possible to brick a stone with original bootloader/rom-image/firmware. just starting to learn, that it is possible although.
any help is welcome guys! my ideas are going to end.

When we first got the Chinese GB link I remember there were a couple of guys who had deceloper phones.. They never explained how they'd got them though lol

Sent from my MotoA953 using xda premium

what i did?

1. i root my ms2 with superoneclick
2. install droid2 bootstrap 1.0.0.5 and did a backup
3. flash it with cm72-111215.1631-NIGHTLY-Milestone2-GB-v1.3
4. install Signed_Old_market+Enabler-v2.zip which makes my ms2 keep getting hang
5. did a restore using my previous backup in clockword mod
6. did all those davik & cache clear and factory reset but still no use
