i need a sbf file for the european milestone 2 with motoa953 chipset for flashing with rsd lite.
gives a update.zip for the sdcard with clockworthmod revory to start from the menu "apply sdcard update.zip) with verifying

this only delete cache and data. during the restore with clockworthmod, the system is erasing and then copied the system from backup. and in copy mode the sdcard hangs and now is the systems files all erased an the phone doesn´t boot:-(

Look on the forums and see how to sbf, that should fix the problem. And if not, you "bricked" it..if you can get into the stock recovery by holding the x button down and it comes up and what not then its salvageable but if all you get is the motorola m then it might be toast. Give sbf'ing a try.
Edit: Sorry I didn't really read your original post, sorry, you know how to sbf but don't have the file..I couldn't tell you where to get that...go to androidforums.com or droidlife.com and maybe someone can help over there because obviously im the only one responding...

The problem is, the milestone 2 have another chipset (a953) like droid2. Rsd lite says: firmware is not compatible with this phone. On recovery mode with update.zip can i only flash original firmware (verifization).
Today i go in the vodafone shop, the phone is only 1 week old.
Can i create a working sbf file from my clockworthmod* .img? I have many complete backups on my sdcard.
Or how can i make a sbf file from the system of another milestone 2. This would i flash into my ms2 with rsdlite

@Rennert,
How did you get the Clockwork recovery installed on the Milestone 2 (A953) ?
I have the same phone myself but I've not found any information on how to proceed. I've rooted permanently with the z4root-app but that is about it.

I stumbled on this one (similar) to the one above when looking up bootstrapping the Milestone 2

Dunno if it helps (sorry as I'm a lurker I have to HXXP).

With Droid X/2 recovery Bootstrap you can install ClockworkMod v2.5.0.8.
Edit: Please read instructions before you try the application.

Thx,
Installed ClockworkMod recovery with Droid 2 Bootdtrap. Not sure if there is any joy out of it as there are no ROMs around yet... nandroid backups works well though.

For now only backup just in case.
I am doing some tests and hoping that if something goes wrong I can restore my phone with that backup.
Edit: Droid Overclock can be useful for example to change some Build Props(Dalvik VM, Max EVTs, etc)

Nandroid restore problem

RESOLVED!
I flashed cm7, but not without making a nandroid of the stock rom. I tried restoring the backup and it would not make it to the boot animation. No errors or anything, same version of clockwork as before.
The only thing I didn't try was advanced restore. Would that do anything differently?

Being that you flashed CM7, and having troubles going back to 2.2.x you must be using 3.0.0.5 as a recovery image. You need 3.0.0.6, or a 2.x recovery image.
This thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=986522] will help explain the ins and outs and how to flash 3.0.0.6.

Hey! I figured it out! And this should apply to all of us with mytouch 4gs.
The issue was that i was on clockwork 3.0.0.5, which i was on even when i backed up the stock rom. 3.0.0.5 allows for gingerbread flashing, but not froyo. So if you experience an issue like this, downgrade to 2.5.1.2 in rom manager and try recovering - lucky for me, even nandroids made in 3.0.0.5 were compatible with 2.5.1.2

That's what the thread i posted earlier explained. and showed you how to fix. It's sticked in the Q&A section.

What a breakthrough that was...I better write that down.

SBF - Bootstrapper Recovery

I just downloaded the SBF from another thread and with the impending update I'd like to go back to stock. Can I flash the sbf with the bootstrapper recovery, or does it have to be through RSD?
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App

It has to be through rsdlite, make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your computer as well. Its all automated, as soon as you tell rsdlite to start, it does everything by itself, just remember to go into recovery by pressing x on bootup and wipe data/cache and you'll be perfectly fine (I just sbf'ed as well in anticipation, running stock rooted with bloatware removed and no bootstrap)
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App

Did you try using bootstrap recovery to flash the original ROM? Would that work?
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App

it depends on where you got the sbf from, if its the rooted and deodexed rom from the get r done forums, then that is not the one you want to flash, the file should have an extension of .sbf in order for it to be flashed in rsdlite, if what you got was a .zip file, try unpacking it.

Got it done.

[Q] New CWM allows backup and restore??

Hey guys,
I think the new CWM allows backup and restore? I used it to backup my current rom, but can anyone verify whether there are still issues when attempting to restore backups? Last thing I need is to brick my charge.
Thanks guys!

Is working

Please confirm....
Have you successfully restored using the BLUE font CWM?

I could not get restore to work but it didn't brick my phone either. From what I've heard some people have had it work tho.

Is this the CWM from the Android Market? And, if so - Am I supposed to let CWM rewrite the Recovery Mode like I did on my Moto Droid?

Sooo hoping backup and restore is working, I know he didn't test it completely but that certainly doesn't mean it wont work :] Post in this thread if it worked for you!

I just installed cwm and did a backup before rooted. And was having issues tethering and wanted.to revert back. I went into cwm and attempted a restore. And it failed saying could not unmount /system. Then it froze. Next time i booted to cwm it booted in a basic mode with only options to reboot or apply update.zip
This is my first experience modding a Samsung phone i just upgraded from my droid 1. phone is working and plan to do more this weekend when i have more time to explore.

I am having the same issue as witmore. I can create a backup but it has issue with /system. It doesn't brick the phone but I would like to make a good backup incase things go bad one day.

Is the Market CWM working properly for backups and restores yet? I really want to try some new ROMs ...

The market app still does not work.

Bummer!
Is there any other method out there that can do a full backup / restore for a rooted Charge yet?

Try OdinMaker by P3Droid. It is 2 bucks on the market. I believe it works fine.

I cant get OdinMaker to reliably finish.
I saw somewhere on here that CWR backup works but to restore you have to reflash (Odin) your rom, kernal and recovery. Then in CWR you do an advanced restore and do /data only. I have not confirmed this works.

The advanced restore worked for me. Thanks for the info. Much needed. Started to lose it for a little bit.

I don't see why this wouldn't work.

Try 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5
The imnuts cwm 0817_charge_recovery.tar.md5 works very well. IT is is stable the only issue is lagfix ext4 does not work. However this may not be a cwm issue but rather a kernel issue. Dan

does anyone have a link for this new CWM?

[Q] Restoring CWM nandroid backups

I have a quick question. Say I soft brick my phone, if I restore it by flashing the fastboot (sbf) files through RSD Lite, reroot and install Atrix 2 Bootstrap again, can I restore a back up of the Supercharged V3 ROM without any issues? Thanks in Advance!!

You could, but I would reflash if I was you, just because I think you might get some FCs if you don't.

Have have restored a Nandroid backup using bootstrap with no FC's.

I have used it several times to restore backups. Never had any force closes with any of them.

Sorry...I meant to say "I have"

It appears that some are confused, and not understanding what I was saying...
Since you are using lfaber06's ROM, I would not recommend that you try and restore that one with a backup right after doing an fxz restore, with some of the things that his ROM does, the safest bet is to reflash, rather than restore the ROM itself, then once you are at the right version of his ROM, restore your backup over top of that instead.

Agreed, It would be in your best interest to flash the rom before restoring the backup. It can cause oddities the reason is that there are a few partitions that our CWM does not backup or restore (Like /Preinstall and /Osh) this in turn leads to init.d scripts not running properly. (The supercharged part of the rom) I usually just install the stock deodexed rom then perform my restore.

I shall keep that in mind.
