Hello,
Upon trying to flash this ROM: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...r-motorola-milestone-2-android-4-1-2.1827801/
I made some mistake and now turning the phone on only yields the Motorola logo. I tried to reset the device to the stock firmware, but every link to a .sbf or Motorola driver is around 10 years old and doesn't work anymore.
If anyone could send me these files or link me to the best recovery method it would be really appreciated to get this beautiful device back to working.
Sorry if my post has any mistakes, this is my first time posting on the forum
The phone model in Motorola Droid 2 A955
Thanks

hi i flashed my xperia ray with the ST18i_Official_4.0.4_Stock_ROM_RAY_jjdoctor i was on gingerbread 2.3.4 before and now i cant get past the cwm recovery screen it just keeps coming up and wont boot into the phone mode , any help wood be appreciated guys on what i have done wrong and hopefully i can rectify it
Can you please tell us in detail the steps you followed and what tools you used?
"I flashed it and it broke" is a bit hard to diagnose
1) I unlocked by bootloader by doing <thing you did>
2) I loaded flashtool and flashed <file X> I found <where'd you get file X>
3) Then I etc etc etc.
Then we can see if you missed a step, or did a step the wrong way around etc.
Cheers,
Tim
sorry lol was in a rush when typing this my bootloader was unlocked with the 2 probe method and wire and loaded the ST18i_Official_4.0.4_Stock_ROM_RAY_jjdoctor into the flashtool and just flashed , i got the file from the forums here i know i prob just done a stupid thing by flashing straight away but could really do with a step by step guide as im a noob at this kind of stuff or directed to a good guide , i also just restored the phone back to stock and its working again thanks to wotan client so i cant try again hopefully getting it right this time

I got stuck a lot of times but i haven't asked about it... because I researched...
then when I get stuck, I repeat, get stuck again, revert then look for another process
It always pays to be prepared
Yeah yeah, everyone is new when we start modding their phones... but due to the age(relative) of the thread, there were already exchanges of questions and answers.
I bet you haven't heard or seen the help thread
Here's what I do EVERYTIME I do mods on my phone:
research (what files, how to do it, expected results)
research (fallback methods, including what others have done, read the threads/conversations/posts etc...)
yeah they do take a long time (2 weeks to 1 month)... then...
I executed the processes on my own, and boom! they WORKED
It pays to be prepared...
could you please ask you question at the Q&A thread and not open up a new thread every time you stumble upon a problem where your question may or may not be answered already?
Thanks Guys!
I finally figured it out! My phone is not Rooted, running stock ICS, With a flash coutner of 0!
I ended up getting Kies, emergency firmware update to work. Full the full details go to this link!

Just wanted to update my thread, I hate it when people do not post the end result lol.
All of this to return a device to stock ???
My friend ....
Look at the top of the general section ....
There you will find a thread called ...."galaxy note super everything thread"
Scroll down the first post in the thread until you reach the " return to stock " sub section.
There you will find 3 different and confirmed methods ....
Read them, then read again ....
The methods are simple and effective .....g
And at the end of those three methods your counter will be zero.
I made things much harder than they needed to be!
I finally got it figured out! This is my first week of android, but I really like the flexibility of it. I just find iOS boring now days. I had an Iconia tablet a while back, I eventually gave it to my mom, but I never realized the capability of the OS till spending the weekend messing with rooting etc.
Thanks to everyone for taking the time to read my thread.
I edited it to reflect how I solved the problem, and put a link to the Kies Emergency Firmware Recovery thread, in case anyone finds themselves in my situation (I also explained exactly how I got it to work on the last post of page 9, the method seems to have changed a little bit since the original post) .
I'm glad it all worked out for you !
Great work ...g
Hi guys, I know this has been discussed a lot but I have no idea what to do next, here's what happened:
So one of my friends bought a used galaxy S3. The next day, he noticed that the IMEI inside the phone was actually different than the one shown inside Android Settings, so I just assumed maybe the motherboard has been changed or something like that. Anyway, I proceeded to install CM10, but after trying it out for a couple of days he complained the device had been crashing a lot and that he wanted to go back to the stock ROM. So this morning I downloaded the right 4.1.2. ROM and flashed via Odin, after which I had noticed I wasn't able to make any calls whatsoever. After reading up on this I checked the SN, which was now 00000000000, bun even after rooting / trying the ariza patch, the phone is not working anymore. I have no EFS backup, and was thinking about trying to flash the modem next to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43946365#post43946365 , is this the right fix? If not, can I actually do anything about it now? Thanks.
Faqs and guides its all posted we don't need identical threads .
Sorry, I know there are a lot of other threads like this one being opened all the time, but even after reading my ass off today I couldn't figure it out, which is why I decided to post here, I would really appreciate a link to a relevant topic, if a full answer is too much to ask. Thank you.

Google services crashing on 11.8.3.3-0 ROM
Hello,
I tried flashing your 11.8.3.3-0 ROM from stock WW_11.8.4.23 and stock WW_11.8.3.3, but in both cases I end up with almost all Google services crashing the minute I got connected to the internet (Play Store, Hangouts, Calendar, etc.) . Of course, I tried about a hundred different ways to fix this, but finally went back to stock.
I think it has to do with all my data having been synced on newer versions of Google apps, so the most painless thing would be to make a new ROM using the newest (11.8.4.23) STOCK.
If you gave me a few starting tips, I would be willing to help.
Thanks.
Sorry for taking so long to respond, I didn't see until today that I had a PM from some bot telling me a Q&A thread had been created and I didn't see it under my subscribed threads either.
If more people are interested in a custom version of the newest firmware then I'll make it, but since it's been so dead regarding the padfone 2 i assumed most people stopped using the phone and/or my ROM.
If there's more than 1 person interested in a custom rom of the latest release then let me know and I'll get on it.

Oops. I thought there was not going to be a reply from you, so I created a new ROM myself and posted it. I really hope you don't mind - it was not my intention to steal the "fame and fortune" from you. At first, I thought I would use yours as a starting point, but then I decided to work my way from grounds up using the stock. I did several things differently, especially the rooting style has changed radically.
Haha no problem, feel free to use mine as a starting point, more roms is a good thing!
Hi. I have a serious problem.
I rooted my Padfone 2, then unlocked bootloader and fastboot flashed CWM.
Then I flashed Guerilla rom. It worked until I rebooted it...
Stuck on inital asus logo.
Then I tried a few of your zips via adb sideload. They stay on boot logo and nothing happens. One managed to get to the secondary boot animation and then rebooted and stuck at the inital...
Please help.
The phone is bought from Spain. I didn't check the SKU before flashing the first time.
Flashing Asus's zips from their site does not boot too.
Hello XDA,
I wanted to ask this question more specifically since I feel my last questions was too specific and maybe difficult?
Can I edit a stock rom? Like editing the recovery.img and the system.img, then flashing the phone with smart phone flash tools?(SP flash tools)
Can I do this on a rooted phone? Or does the stock rom have to be not edited in any way? Is there no way to pull certain apps from the apps folder?
Thanks
bump,
I was told to make a thread in this forum yet no one has even replied to any of my threads.
At this point, I may have to make a sense and post in every forum I can find until I a moderator comes to clean up my mess. I don't want to have to do that but I have nothing to lose and no one has replied back to anything I have posted on here.
If I don't see a reply on this thread or the other thread I made about this. I will make a thread in every forum.
Waited around for awhile but now its time be obnoxious. I will bump my other thread as well and just start hi-jacking other threads until mods ban me or someone answers me for once.
