HELP! Can't get RSD Light working on 2.3 Milestone - Motorola Milestone Android Development

Hello all,
I recently acquired an sbf image that I wanted to flash on my milestone running iceandfire 1.8, but I can't get it to properly connect. Everytime I connect the device and select portal and tools, my windows 7 32 pc says its installing drivers, then the MTP device fails to install, and resulting in rsd not being able to detect it. HELP PLEASE!!!!

You have to go into bootloader mode (power button and up on d pad when off) or in cm7 hold down power button click reboot and the bootloader

That installs a driver, but its still not recognized by rsd lite... and the mtp usb device driver still doesnt install...

You have just to install MotoConnect to install all the drivers correctly. Search on the motorola site or here in forums.

That still doesn't work. I tried all options, and when I connect it, it still tries to install motorola mtp interface and fails

beware - the bootloader reboot in CM6/7 will take you to the fastboot mode that is not suitable for sbf flashing.
power off the phone, hold the d-pad up and press the power button to get the phone to the proper bootloader mode

firmware for your device.
You need to download these things...
RSD Lite 4.5.7
AT&T Stock Android 2.1 Blur v3.0.1390 - Original SBF by Skrilax_CZ @ ModMyMobile
And if you're doing this and haven't attempted root yet, or would just like to wipe your device through and through, HERE are the Moto USB drivers. Make sure to get the correct installer for x86 or x64.
Install your USB Drivers (if you haven't already)
Install RSD Lite
Turn off your backflip
Plug the USB cable into the phone and computer
Open the keyboard and press J+D+Power simultaneously and let up when you see the blue recovery screen with the black moto batwings. In the bottom left corner of the screen it will say in white letters "USB init mode"
Now when the phone boots to the recovery screen, Windows will begin installing a driver for the MSM720x flash recovery mode.
After the driver has successfully installed, open RSD Lite
Upon opening RSD Lite, you should notice ONE connected device in the table below. If not, post what you did exactly and we can help
Now that the device is showing in RSD Lite, click the "..." browse button to point to the Android 2.1 Blur 3.0.1390 image you downloaded earlier
Once that's selected, press start to start flashing your phone.... DO NOT UNPLUG UNTIL IT'S FINISHED.
Once finished, it will reboot itself and you should be presented with the Android Setup after a minute or two.

MY XOOM WiFi MZ604 is HEAVILY BRICKED! HELP ASAP, PLEASE!

Error : Starting RSD mode 3
I followed the steps on rooting the xoom wifi from this website : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010568. I got to the step,"fastboot flash boot boot.img". Then it stuck at "Dual Core Technology". I rebooted my xoom, then it went to the same screen, but there is an ERROR. The error is "Starting RSD mode 3". PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM!
EDIT : Also, I can't connect my XOOM to my PC via USB. It won't even play that WINDOWS sound when i plug it in to pc, it won't recognize.
EDIT2 : I can't get into fastboot. I powered my xoom down, then hold power and volume down button, and it just shows the motorola logo.

if you press power and vol up till it resets then hold volume down it will boot into fastboot mode and you can try to reflash the boot img

I reseted my xoom. But when i hold the volume down, it just show the motorola logo, with no error, and it freezes. It doesn't show the fastboot.
So the only option you have is rsd3? You can only run commands from fastboot. If you do a hard reset while its plugged into the pc, does anything happen?

what OS are you using?????
did you make sure drivers loaded before trying to use fastboot?
If you get the rsd3 you should be okay. I had same issue and used rsd lite with the sbf and it worked.
There is no SBF for the WiFi only xoom. So he needs fastboot.
Please Help...
I got very similar problem.
I own Motorola Xoom WiFi only and I was trying to root it via Koush manual.
Everything works fine until step 9. Xoom didn't reboot. I'm just looking on Motorola Dual Core technology logo...
I try to restart it (Vol Up and Power) but nothing changed...
So sorry for my English
EDIT: reflash original motorola sw, so works fine now... without root
me to i have same problem
maybe the solution sbf file but where the sbf ???
every day i heard tomorrow
just reflash all original stock wifi images...

I tried it. My phone does not seem to go into download mode. Any idea why? I held down the three keys for more than 5 minutes, but the white lights just keep showing. Nothing else happens.
Update: The phone screen turned on after a few minutes of holding down the buttons. It shows a screen where there's a battery icon. I believe the phone was severely drained. No other reason for it. But why didn't the screen show when I had plugged it into the computer yesterday or when I tried charging it for hours long back?
I'll keep you posted when the phone turns on.
I think it's some hardware error you got.
I too had the same problem you have.
I returned it to the sc they replaced it's motherboard.
But I think your phone turned on for a reason known as stack charging.
It is cycle of continous charging. Let it charge and ensure that battery is more than 70%.
Then you can perform this procedure.

There are only three modes in XT530

2. Recovery mode

I plugged it into my computer. Went into flash mode. It doesnt show up on RSD lite because the driver is missing for some reason.

It works for boot loop?

Can't update (volume down + connect doesn't work)

The phone works, I can install apps, etc...
I have .12. No rooted, bootloader locked.
The other day I tried to unlock bootloader with flashtool, I got my code.
Clicked BLU, pressed volume down key and connected the phone.
Worked fine, showed some messages about the phone, and other window appears saying "waiting for fastboot"
In the guide doesn't say nothing about fastboot so I tried again about 4 times.
Then when the fastboot windows appear I tried volume up key and connect.
Flashtool show a message about drivers.
I tried again but now when I try connecting with volume key pressed nothing happens.
I thought it was something about my pc, but today I tried to update to .14 in other laptop (PC companion).
And when I have to connect with volume key pressed nothing happens. The key works when phone on.
Already reset.
Thanks.
You have to allow PC debuging in developer options, and maybe also unknown sources when working with flashtool - and of course installed correct drivers for your device before you start

I faced the same issue few times.
Whenever it happened, what I did was, go into recovery and power off device and then try to enter flash mode/ fastboot mode. And it worked always.
So, I guess the problem behind this is incomplete power off.

[Help] Bricked my Nexus what's next? :(

Hi, this situation is kind of strange and I hope it's just the battery and not the whole goddamn phone.
What I'm dealing with at the moment is:
The phone doesn't boot
When plugged onto charger or USB cable it boots but stuck at Google logo after a blink and stays there. Also, Home, Back and other buttons are lighten.
When "forcefully" put into fastboot mode, e.g. after plugging it onto USB and instantly pressing Vol Up + Power it stuck there as well, volume rocker no more response neither does the power button. Also, I notice there are no commands at the end like "USB int" etc we see normally.
Fastboot or ADB returns no device found
Please help. I personally believe it could be due to battery, what do you guys think?
Thank you.
As long as you can see the google logo, your device is not bricked. GIve more useful information; like your computer operating system, the last thing you did before this happened, etc.

Thanks. My OS is Windows 8.1 Update 1. The last thing was to install UPDATE-SuperSU to root so that I can install ROM Manager to update Recovery but the installation was aborted so I attempt to flash it via Fastboot with success. Then, wanted to install SlimKat but it couldn't let me mount USB storage so that I can put the .zip file. I, then stupidly click on install via ADB but didn't know how to go back so I pulled the battery and powered up; used ADP push command to transfer said the file, but again for some reason I had to pull the battery and since then I am in above position.

Put the device in bootloader and plug it into the computer, be patient, my phone is rather slow to get detected sometimes.. (Up to 30 min.) Check your drivers on the computer, try rebooting the boot loader from just pressing the power button (while in boot loader mode)..
If all else fails, read up on Wugs NRTK page and about ODIN...

Hi, device doesn't go into bootloader without plugging it to computer (I've to press required buttons BEFORE plugging OTG cable). And when it boots in fastboot mode it doesn't let me press any button either. I kept it plugged in for sometime as well when it when it was at Google logo; will try to do the same while in fastboot mode too and let you know. As for drivers, same computer was used before when it was working and it detected just fine immediately (gave me a pain to find the right drivers though - PDANet was a life saver).
EDIT:
I should mention that I broke the OS before this happened by formatting /system folder and wiping other data from CWM recovery - I think, I also rebooted it without flashing the ROM as well.

Try Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit,.. use the options for "bricked".. do this from the bootloader screen (power/volume +)...
I don't have experience with ODIN, so you'll need to read that forum/threads...

The problem is, even the Toolkit doesn't recognize the device no matter what. Even the keys for ODIN don't work, aren't they Home+VOL+ and Power?
EDIT1:
Kept plugged in for little longer as suggested but it heats up (it's too hot here) so I plugged out. Going to be running it off of Linux and lets see how it goes. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT2:
Tried Adam's UnBrickable method on Linux and even that couldn't find device. But that was to be expected since Adam clearly mentioned in his post that this tool isn't for those who see anything on their screen.
Whelp! Currently I can only see I:\ drive in device manager and that's all under portable devices and that's all. I see the same even in BIOS boot options, it's listed as "Google".
Guess need to close this thread now.
