[Closed] [Warranty Replaced] Bricked Milestone X2

[Sippi4x4man]

Update: C Spire would not give me a SBF file. None of the employees even knew what I was talking about. I had to show the rep how to perform a manual factory reset from recovery because she and the other employees had no idea. They gave me a new X2 as a Warranty Replacement.

I ran a de-blur script from the Motorola Photon forums and it ran fine for a while. I was doing some backups from BSR and accidentally formatted /data. I have no access to BSR at the moment, only stock recovery. I then ran a factory reset through stock recovery. I can get as far as setting up my gmail account and then I am taken to the Accounts Setup screen, Facebook, Corporate Sync, Twitter, etc. I cannot get past this screen. If I hit done adding accounts I get force close on "process.com.motorola.setup". I assume this is happening because of some missing blur files. If I hit my home button, nothing happens. I thought that this was because the stock launcher was missing, but I also have zeam, nemus and Go launchers installed. When I plug my phone in via usb, it takes me straight into usb storage mode. I keep trying to use adb but get a device error message. I cannot get into the phone's settings to see if usb debugging is enabled or not. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated. I do not have a SBF for my carrier. I've already attempted to sbf with the 2.3.5 ntelos file but get a Fail message at the end.

Can you sbf with RSD?

I tried to sbf with the Ntelos 2.3.5 file that is in the forums, but got a FAIL message at the end

Here is a link to a tutorial written by MoonShadow on how to do this...make sure you have the proper file to sbf with

Actuality carrier doesn't matter BTW but milestone x2 mb867 does.

I am trying the Ntelos sbf again following the instructions by moonshadow and will report back in a minute

Why would u use something meant for the photon on ur mx2?

U may have been fine if u never did a data wipe(I know first happened on accident) but I think data wipe will turn off USB debugging. Unless u had privacy setting to backup settings to google(,which even still it might not work) and then u can get Gmail to sync ur settings back into place u might be able to push the files needed for recovery (maybe the ones from skwoodwiva rerecovery thread)
But if u can't get adb to connect,and can't get past the force close to install bsr and load ur backup, and don't have sbf ability, then you very well might be screwed(aka call up asurion)

I don't know much about fast boot, but isn't there a way to enable adb from there?
Then u might, big might as I am not the one who can tell ya how, be able to get the needed files in place with correct perms set to be able to power down and load bsr

Good luck
Let us know if u have a solution

Thanks for your input, I got the de-blur script from here: Universal De-Blur for all motoblur phones I ran the phone for a while with the script with no problems, it was when I wiped data that I screwed myself. Will keep working on it. I just tried the SBF again and I get: Failed Flashing Process. I doubt using a Verizon SBF will do me any good.

Sorry I did not see your edit until after I had replied

Ahh gotcha
I just remembered a while back seeing the one meant for photon but when u used it it would delete things that caused force closed for x2
(Still tho, the x2 I learned is such a picky phone that I really never recommend ANYTHING that wasn't developed specifically for the x2, even when they say universal)

If u do end up having to get replacement (assurion) u might as well try an sbf with vzw files here and root and restore nandroid just to see if its possible and works...

no problem trafalger. I cannot find another way to enable usb bugging other than getting into the phone's settings, which I cannot do. I am able to get in to network and location settings through the voice commands but that is it. Guess I am screwed

 

[skwoodwiva]

Someone did try it won't go. Only dx2 will take, poorly(one way!) the mx2 sbf but not the other way round.

 

[Sippi4x4man]

Back when I had a Milestone X, I tried a Verizon SBF and got bricked....I guess I will get dressed and head over to C Spire Wireless and hope they have one in stock for a warranty exchange....

 

[Sippi4x4man]

I found an app on the Android Market that enables usb debugging, however, says it is not compatible with the X2. Any other ideas?

 

[skwoodwiva]

Our sbf to your 236 may be the brick you want that would stick @ M.

On 2nd, you might get a Dx2 without data & what could you say then.

Whatever demand a sbf

SBF that will make the phone work but no calling or network

I know this doesn't help much but I am experienced the exact same problem. I found an SBF that will make the phone simply work, but it will not have network access. I have tried activating it from CSpire's webpage, but it just won't connect. To top that off the SBF I am using will not allow root either. I get a permission denied in most cases when I try the fastboot method.

I would like to issue a warning for all CSpire users with the Motorola Milestone X2

Rooting is difficult at best, there are no .sbf files out there to back up your phone.

If you screw up you are going to have to convince the CSpire folks that it was an inherent software error and give you a warranty replacement.
