My milestone 2 is completed bricked and can't be recognized by PC. But I can log in the official recovery screen. I have downloaded a update.zip file from a link （not sure if it is an official link, as I can't find it through Motorola website). It prompted "signature error" when installed. Not sure anyone can provide an update.zip file, so that I can try if I can save my Milestone2. Thanks in advance!
as long as you can enter the stock recovery. your device isn't bricked. did you try to do a full wipe in stock recovery? did you try to use another usb port in bootloader mode? sometimes you get a black screen in bootloader mode, but you pc recognizese your device very well. did you install all drivers on your pc?

1. I have tried full wipe, but didn't work. The machine reboot again and again;
2. I have tried another usb port, another PC and even another operating system (win7 and winXP), also didn't work.
3. I am sure I have installed the drivers, as PC can recognize my phone when it is OK before;
As I can only entered the official recovery screen, I think I can try if it worked when I update with an official update file. Anyway, thanks for your suggestions and reply!
hi,guy.i think you should do the curect usb driver for your pc recongnizing first. than choose a ringt bootlaoder offical ROM. curse your phone can login the rockrecovery screen means its ok! isn't?
I think the only way for you to get an update.zip is with another milestone 2 running froyo, that way you can update it via OTA, and before the phone reboots, take the update.zip from the /cache partition.

Hi!
I have tried to flash unlocked bootloader V3 from civato's guide, and I could not pass step 6 (flashing bootloader with nvflash or blacthund3r's tool). None of this method didn't work (Nvflasher didn't flash anything, and blackthunder tool was stuck at formating some partition (can't remeber which one).
Last successful step was flashing ICS rom (full leaked version of 1.031.00).
After that I could boot up, and rom worked all fine.
But, after that, I got my self in trouble.... I pressed Vol- & PWR, tablet did his thing, and when reeboted, I got stuck in Acer logo screen with red writing "Boot verified failed"
I understand that I have messed boot somehow... And to fix this i have to flash new bootloader through nvflash and apx mode. I tried to put update.zip on sd card, but it didn't helped (I still get boot verified failed)
Here, I got another problem. When I have connected tablet in apx mod to pc, i got message "driver not installed". Now, in devices I have "unspecified APX device".
BTW, adb doesn't see my device?!
I hope that You guys can help me with these problems, so that my tablet is operational an running again.
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem but I can not find the v3 bl and CWM Recovery Package to flash with the apx flash utility. If you find them let me know.
This what you have do:
Your recovery is borked so u have to put a new one on there, the best way to
go about doing this is to:
Download the V3 AND CWM Recovery package and apxFlash that.....Done!!
your need to flash the WHOLE PACKAGE b/c ARI reports yr BL as plain old stock
You cannot replace the failed recovery with CWM with the plain old stock BL!!
You have to flash the patched BL as well, so again
You must flash the whole pckg just like in the guide OK
if later u want the stock recovery back u can use ARI to do that but after the apxflash!!!
Thanks for your replay! I'l try to do this and hope it will work...
By "WHOLE PACKAGE" you mean unlocked bootloader and CWM? Or, something else?
Check this thread for V3 and CWM.
boot verified
Yes "WHOLE PACKAGE" unlocked bootloader and CWM
The tread you sent me I do not know how to use the nvflash never works for me.
I have been trying for 3 days and no luck.
Let me know if it works for you or how you make out

Hi!
Yes, I have dl the drivers from Acer site and installed them. But pc only recognize tab in APX mode. And adb doesn't see my tab.
Every method that I have tried (APX flash tool and nvflash) hangs at some part. APX flash tool hangs at "Flashing bootloader EBT - stage two, and nvflash hangs at formating partition 4.
Hi, I´m having similar troubles to get acer drivers working on windows 7 32. I installed newest acer web drivers, ADB works OK. When I get to apx mode I need to manually point to drivers, I have an APX driver with a sign and turns to Acer Picasso USB Boot-recovery driver. The problem is that not any of the tools sees this as a connected tablet in apx mode (afterota or apxflash).
I am doing something wrong? I know a500manager shows me the tablet is in apx mode "please install drivers" when i get APX driver with Sign, after installing the driver manually it just doesn´t show connected anymore.
thanks

Download and install the Google USB drivers.
Google.... Android USB Drivers, and you should get the page for the Android SDK with google drivers.
In Apx mode, go to device manager on your PC, and manually install the drivers. Don't let it search automatically, do it manually. If you get a compatibility warning, ignore it.
Should hook you up with normal, ADB and APX drivers.

THANKS FOR NOT TELLING US HOW YOU SOLVED IT:good::good::good::good:
As teh title says i am using v2.5.0.0 of this recovery rom for my samsung s4 device.
The issue is that i cannot mount my SD card whilst in recovery mode.
It never appears on my windows 8 machine when i connect my device in recovery mode.
I have all the usb drivers for my device installed and that is how i originally put a rom on it when i was running a stock rom.
Now that i did a wipe i obviously cannot mount my device on a normal running stock rom because its removed and i am trying to install a new one.
How can i access and transfer files whilst in recovery mode?
Do i need any additional drivers?
Still cant mount. i notice ond evide manager it says the drivers are missing for SAMSUNG_Android yet i have installed samsung kais!

Uninstall KIES and any other samsung usb installed utilities first.
Then download the official Samsung USB drivers for windows here: http://developer.samsung.com/board/download.do?bdId=0000000700&attachId=0000000001
After all the uninstalls are done reboot computer and install the official samsung usb drivers.
Once that's done reboot computer one more time and then your phone should and will
recognize your phone unless you have a bad cable or a non-functioning usb port in computer.
Good luck!

Can you enter in download mode (Turn off the device, then press volume up and down, and while you are pressing them, connect the usb cable)?
Or can you enter in recovery mode?
If you can, in download mode flash a stock rom by lg flash tool, or in recovery flash a rom by otg cable...

Otg cable is useful if it lets you enter into recovery... If it does, do the following steps:
1- FROM PC:
Download the rom you wanna flash (for d800), better if it isn't heavy, maybe download one of the aosp rom (300 mb max);
When the download ends, take a usb pen, connect it into the pc, then move the rom in the usb.
2- FROM THE PHONE:
Enter recovery mode (search how on google, its really easy);
Once you're into recovery, connect the otg cable with the usb pen you used before;
If you are on TWRP, go to "mount", and select OTG, if you are on Philz's, ignore that;
Make a simple wipe (wipe to factory reset----> data, cache, dalvik);
Then, flash the rom you have in the usb pen by otg cable.
Ok, once the flash ends, BEFORE REBOOT, DISCONNECT THE USB OTG CABLE, then reboot...
Try this way, if it doesn't work, tell me
Hello,
I have installed a custom rom (Marshmallow) for my SM-A500FU through the adb. Now when I want to install a different rom I have to either boot into TWRP and I can't do that because booting into recovery simply restarts a phone, or I have to boot into Download mode and install it with the adb. The problem is that when the system is running, the phone simply charges, no Windows notifications or devices appear and when the phone is in Download mode Windows detects that a device is plugged in but can't recognize it. I have all the adb drivers, KIES and all that so it's not a problem. Can I somehow boot into TWRP or make Windows recognize my phone so I can use adb?
Thanks.
before installing a rom, have you wiped system, cache, dalvik and data? If yes try with a hard reset and if it doesn't work, too flash stock firmware
Hey,
yes, I wiped everything, I have flashed many roms earlier and I believe I have flashed it properly. I have managed to get into TWRP so I can actually flash FWs. I have only updated my rom to the newest CW13 build there is for my A5. Is there any way to flash a stock FW (for example a XEO KitKat) without ODIN? I can only use ADB through TCPIP and TWRP, so there is no way for me to flash it through ODIN.
Thanks.
so, if you press power+home+vol- it doesn't reboot in download mode, right?
It does boot into the Download mode. The problem is that when I plug the phone into my PC in Download mode it says that the USB Device is not recognized in Windows with 'A request for the USB device descriptor failed' error. When I plug it in when the phone is booted normally into android, it just charges, Windows doesn't see it at all.

Well, you can't flash samsung firmwares with twrp. Try flashing another rom through twrp
Alright, I have tried to flash multiple ROMs. Currently sitting on a Lollipop. Nothing changed, though. On every single ROM the problem still persists. It's not a problem with the PC as I've tried to connect my A5 to a laptop with freshly installed Windows and KIES and it behaved the same way as on my PC. The cable is fine as well, I have tested it with my old SGS3, it worked just fine on both my PC and laptop. Frankly, I have no idea what to do next, I'm starting to think that the port is physically broken. It's weird though, as I can still charge my phone and there is a response when the phone is in Download mode, just that Windows can't recognize it.
Try with adb command "adb reboot recovery" if it doesn't work you can downlaod odin mobile from play store and flash stock firmware!
Do you have odin for windows ?

Yes, ihlf his device can boot he can use mobile odin. Have you tried with other PCs, just to see it isn't a problem of your pc?
In my experience usb device descriptor errors are related to the specific PC the error occurs on due to device driver conflicts, but if you get the same error on another pc then it could be the hardware.
I'd certainly be trying another cable first on a fresh PC.
Anyway regardless of all that you can flash the stock firmware with FLASHFIRE available on play as long as you have root.

Hello,
I rooted my s8 a few months back, and recently had no use for it, so decided to uninstall it.
I uninstalled root from Magisk Manager (I tapped the Uninstall button after opening the app), and it restarted my phone. That's when the boot loop started.
My phone kept on showing the Samsung logo, but I could open the TWRP recovery screen.
I tried to follow some steps and flash the stock firmware onto my Samsung, but windows refused to recognize my s8, telling me that the "USB device is not recognized". and that the "Last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned". So I'm basically screwed. I should also mention that I also have access to the Download screen.
Is there any way to send the firmware over to my phone without connecting it to my laptop?
Thanks!

A few things you could try :
In recovery :
wipe cache,/dalvik.
Reinstall magisk and see if it boots. If it does then flash the uninstaller through TWRP.
Factory reset
Flash full firmware with Odin.
With the error on windows I have had this issue because of the USB lead try a different one and make sure your Samsung drivers are up to date.

Hey!
I wiped the cache/dalvik and factory reset, but it still put my phone in boot loop.
As for reinstalling Magisk, I have no idea how to do that since I have no access to the Magisk zip and whenever I search in the Install section of the TWRP menu I cant find it either.
Also, my Samsung drivers are up to date, and I even bought myself a new data cable but windows still shows the error message, so I cant flash stock firmware using Odin.
What should I do?

To re-install magisk you will need a SD card. Put card into PC copy files ( magisk zip,magisk app and uninstaller ) from this link below then put the card back into the phone. Flash magisk zip in twrp or try the uninstaller zip.
https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases
As for the PC issue without seeing the pc it's a bit hard to diagnose.
Others things you could try;
Re-install latest Samsung drivers ( and reboot PC )
Make sure you are plugged directly into a USB 2 port on PC ( no USB hubs )
Try another USB lead ( I know you bought a new one )
Try another PC ( will need Samsung drivers )
Also since you have done a factory reset does TRWP still read you data partition ( a factory reset will re-encrypt your phone )
