[Q] Boot loop stock

[SnowRaptor]

Hello, folks!

I have a Milestone with stock android (2.1 I guess, after an OTA update from the provider) that was in the drawer for ca. 2 years because the POWER/VOL/CAM flat cable was bad. I changed the cable, was able to boot normally one or twice.

Now the phone freezes with the white motorola symbol.

When I turn it on with PWR + D-pad UP, I get into the bootloader v. 90.73.

Werid thing is that when I try to boot into recovery (PWR + CAMERA), I still get into the bootloader, so I can't get into recovery to try installing another rom to circumbent the boot lock-up.

Ideas to solve this?

Thanks!

It seems like your bootloader is corrupted.

If i were you, i would upgrade it to the latest version (90.78) and try with it.
(Also you should consider using CM7 or even CM10.)

Thanks!

How can I upgrade the bootloader? Is there a zip or an img file somewhere to push?

I dont know exactly, i didnt have to do it before.

I'm pretty sure, you can brick your device with this if something goes wrong.

I think you will need the following:
-Drivers
-RSDLite
-proper SBF file from here

But i dont know if you need to boot into bootloader mode or something.

Please, be very-very careful, maybe you should wait if someone with more knowledge gives you any advice.

Thanks! I'll try to flash a newer bootloader.

Nope, Didn't work.

Still freezing on boot.

Maybe someone with more knowledge could help.

Good luck.

Did you manage to get the Device manage to take the new boot loader via usb?

If it did load the SBL try loading the vulnerable recovery sbf then put open recovery on to your SD card. If you can get that fair then I'd imagine you could load a new OS on to it without much issue. Lots of guides out there.
