Since the milestones bootloader is locked, we cannot create sbf files to flash on it. The only ones are stock eclaire, stock froyo, and the got 2.2.1 leak. All are signed by motorola. It is for that reason that it is impossible for you to attain this. I would suggest re-downloading androidiani openrecorvery to your sd card, and trying again, because thats the only way your gunna get miui. You could also try minimod openrecovery.
Just do what they are saying, flash a signed Motorola sbf, then root it and get Androidiani running and use it to flash MIUI.
Try this or this. Make sure you have openrecovery on your sdcard and miui in your updates folder.

There is no need to press any keys.
1. First extract a fresh copy of AOR to sdcard. Then copy miui zip file under updates folder
2. Next, activate usb debugging mode in your phone and connect to pc.
3. Open up command prompt and enter the following commands in order.
Code:
adb devices ( this should show as your phone being connected )
adb shell "echo 'boot-recovery ' > /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell "echo '--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip' >> /cache/recovery/command"
adb shell "reboot recovery"
That's it. Your AOR should load.

You could also use Google, as you can find detailed guides that start at installing drivers for windows, that you probably don't have.
And, as I understand that your phone works, you can always use terminal emulator from market, which doesn't need the drivers and works exactly like using adb through windows cmd line.

Haha. You need to have android sdk installed to get adb working. Or as Jack said, try the commands using TE, without the adb shell and without the quotes.

using jacks idea is great, yes my cell is working... i have installed and whenever i put in a command it says permission denied
this states that most probably my cell is not rooted yet
i tried using androot and it does give the temporary root and fails on permanent root, but still i cant execute any command in te
please b patient and help
Try z4root for rooting your phone. And install android sdk. There are many sticky threads telling you how to install android sdk.

did you flash the vulnarable recovery ? without that you cant get into recovery.

I don't even think you can create an sbf for a ROM. I only know of Nandroid backups.

As everyone told you already, because of the locked bootloader you can't flash any .sbf you want. Only Motorola's and GOT's that has vulnerable recovery injected.
To flash MIUI rom, use OpenRecovery and flash the .zip file.

If you have the SDK installed on your computer. Here is what you need to do in order to get back into recovery.
#1 Boot your phone into bootloader, Vol up and power
-Plug into computer using usb while in fastboot(bootloader) and see if it recognizes it. Type adb devices it should list a serial number for your device.
( My SDK is installed in c:\android\) so you would type something like cd c:\android\tools and hit enter and then type adb devices )
#2 If you have installed sdk and pdanet drivers and your computer still does not see your phone in fastboot is this. Go to the folder where sdk is installed and copy everything excluding the folders that is in the Platform-tools folder into the tools folder. After that download Stock Phone files unzip it into a folder on desktop.
Dont run the script yet, what you have to do is after you unzip the stock look in the folder you just unzipped them in and you should see a file called fastboot, adb, and some other .dll's AdbWinApi.dll and etc move only these 4 files to your sdk tools folder.
#3 Now re open a cmd prompt and go back to c:\android\tools (enter) then type in adb devices and your computer should recognize it this time around.
Then all there is left to do is download the recovery of your choice here's mine Recovery and after you download it rename it recovery. After you rename it move it to sdk tools folder and while still in fastboot(bootloader) type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
You should now be able to enter recovery and flash roms again
EDIT #1
If you havent setup SDK here is a wiki guide on how to do so http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Make sure you are using the most up to date drivers and then use ADB to install recovery again. If I'm understanding it right I think that's what you need to try.

Hi,
please help me! I hope it is not a brick.
I wanted to make full wipe. I made factory reset in recovery and then wiped sdcard.. Now I cannot boot ROM because there is no one and I have nothing on my SD. So I even cannot copy rom or backup back to phone.
Is there any way out? (
EDIT: I think I can push files (e.g. backup) through adb, right? I installed adb for dummies but when I want to execute SDKmanager.exe. it only opens black window and immediately closes it. I cannot continue

Access your commands through a terminal window, like start > run > cmd to get into the prompt.
and from there work your way to your directory where you have placed it, and execute the command from that directory directly.
..
Thanks!
In the end I used adb to push backup in recovery...
All this I did because I wanted wipe my device - today I woke up and got a call and found out that my earphone stopped working I am afraid that it is due to condensation and next oxidation... I did not do anything wrong but when you come from cold winter weather into a warm flat it can happen Now I need to send it and hope the warranty will pass..
Anyway, I was looking for complete unroot process and found several advices. I am not clever from them. Is it enough to flash stock ROM? Recovery will be removed as well??

1.Switch off your phone
2.Connect your phone to your PC throught the USB cable
3.Switch on phone into fastboot
4.Provided that you have the driver for windows for the phone installed open Start/run/cmd (from your PC)
5.From the Android-SDK/platform-tools run the following "fastboot oem lock".
like :
C:\Android-sdk\platform-tools\fastboot oem lock
this will lock it immediately ...

it works only in "tools" and then it just says "waiting for device" and stucks When I tried "fastboot devices" it says nothing... I tried to reinstall drivers but maybe I have some old version? When I am in Windows copying files etc. it works well.
1. Make sure you open the command prompt IN in the folder with fastboot.exe.
2. Put the phone in fastboot mode.
3. In the command prompt type fastboot devices.
It will now show your serial number. If not its either you are such a noob that you managed to screw that up or the fastboot drivers are not installed. Or both.

try this
just check if you have fastboot and adb on the same folder, when I've rooted mine's got this issue, if cmd report "the command is an external one" simply means there is no such program in the folder you are in
copy both adb and fastboot in tools and platform-tools too, so you can run the command in both folder
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android-sdk> cd tools (then run adb or fastboot)
cd>desktop > cd android>cd android_sdk> cd platform-tools (thr run adb or fastboot)
1. Find out exactly what phone model you have if you don't know already.
2. Do the same for your computers os . Including 32 or 64 bit.
3. Combine that info and search the forum or just Google search. How to install fastboot drivers for phone model in step 1 with the os in step 2.

OMG yes i know im a newb but there is a first time for everybody for anything.
So i'm trying to unlock, root, install cwm and install custom roms but ive looked at all the instruction from many thread and a lot of them had missing steps
Anyways, i've downgraded from JB to 4.0.3, rooted, unlocked and now i'm trying to install CWM. So i installed android SDK and all tools, i've put recovery image in same folder as fastboot.exe, i've booted the tablet and selectied USB icon but wtf do i do now??
I'm basically here:
** FastBoot Method **
1) Install Android SDK
2) Download CWM Recovery image from the original thread and check the MD5 sum (don't skip MD5 check,is there to make sure the file is not corrupted)
3) Copy the downloaded file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere)
4) Turn off your device and boot into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm)
5) Plug the device into your computer
6) Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Where do i get this command line?? is it command line from windows such as CMD?? cause if it is, i've tried it and nothing. Do i have to point to where is the recovery image?? Its in C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools but i'm lost from that point, i'm not sure what command line i have to use, and how to set it up so i can tell it where to look.

change directory to the folder the recover/fastboot is in, using the CMD on windows. So:
"cd C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
make sure the recovery is called "recovery.img" and that its in the "platform-tools" folder alongside the fastboot.exe, then run the commands:
"fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img"
and
"fastboot reboot"

Yes, command line is in your PC. The location of the fastboot.exe located in c:\android-sdk\platformtools (if you install from sdk).
On your PC, open CMD and navigate to the above directory where fastboot.exe is. Make sure your recovery.img in also copied to this same folder. Now you can execute the fastboot comand:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

I think it's easier for you to download Voodoo OTA root keeper to preserve root, then upgrade to JB, then use OTA root keeper to restore root. After this you can install TWRP recover by download goomanager from the play store and install it, once you have twrp, you're home free.
Currently you are on ICS, becareful if you use a wrong version of cwm you could brick your device. Many ppl installed ICS cwm version then upgrade to JB without the right version and they bricked.

I'm having this exact same problem but changing USB ports is not working for me and I tried everything else. Would it help if I tried a different computer?

I think it's easier for you to download Voodoo OTA root keeper to preserve root, then upgrade to JB, then use OTA root keeper to restore root. After this you can install TWRP recover by download goomanager from the play store and install it, once you have twrp, you're home free.
Currently you are on ICS, becareful if you use a wrong version of cwm you could brick your device. Many ppl installed ICS cwm version then upgrade to JB without the right version and they bricked.

I don't mean to threadjack, but this portion of your post caught my attention.
I just swapped a prime for an infinity. I rooted, installed rootkeeper, preserved root, upgraded to JB and restored root.
Are you saying I can install goomanager and update recovery without unlocking via the Asus tool?
If so, sweet!

No. You will still have to unlock the bootloader to install a custom recovery, unfortunately.

Thanks... if it seems too good to be true it probably is.

So basically I found out just today we have Cyanogenmod 10.2 >.<
I downloaded the Joilaroi version, flashed it in TWRP 2.6xx and then suddenly "E: Error in updating binary script" did a bit of googling and found out that it's a common problem with TWRP > 2.3.3.0
So I was about to downgrade it to 2.3.3.0 or temp boot into CWM. Connected my phone to my laptop and went to bootloader, then did Adb devices....the list was empty.
Reinstalled HTC drivers, used different USB port...nothing.
TL;DR : Phone doesn't get recognized in Bootloader mode, Can't flash ROM, Can't replace recovery. Help!

Why don't you flash with terminal emulator?
Just put recovery.img in the root of your sdcard
Open terminal type
su
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
That's it

That's what I'm doing now but I need a proper solution :/ Basically Windows won't recognize my phone through fastboot. I'd rather not keep installing CM9 again and again after a failed flash, you know?

install htc drivers and make dure you cleared the all registry and files from your previous installation and connect your device
open cmd and go to the folder where you placed adb and type command
adb kill-server =>it will close all adb processes running at that time
adb start-server => it will start new adb process
adb devices=> to reconize your device
if it shows your device then through fastboot command flash the recovery
but make sure you have all neccessary binary files in that folder for adb and fastboot
hit thanks if helped

You can try installing the newer Drivers.
Else your usb port may be broken. that is also a possiblity
I screwed up trying to restore and now it says the phone is not rooted and has no OS installed on it. I still have access to the custom recovery if that helps. I have tried using ADB and Fastboot but it does not seem to be working. I need to know asap because it is for my dad and he travels a lot. He needs a phone. Please any help is appreciated.
1.Flash twrp
2. Go to adb sideload
3. In the terminal type adb sideload filename.zip
The ROM will flash and that's it.
If you need it back to stock just google "nexus 5 factory image" then download the latest one and follow the instructions given by google.
Also are you running linux (which distro) or windows just so I know what to tell you if that doesn't work
First of al: It's best to not use Windows 8 since there have been some driver incompatibilities and I'm not sure if they have been completely fixed yet.
Install 'Universal Naked Driver' and 'Minimal ADB and fastboot'. Both can be found here on xda.
Download the latest factory image for hammerhead from Google website. Extract the downloaded file twice and copy over everything to your 'Minimal ADB and fastboot' install dir.
Double click the flash-all.bat while your phone is in bootloader mode.
This will COMPLETELY reset your phone (all personalbdata will be wiped). Only the bootloader will stay unlocked.

When trying step 3, it says cannot read sideload.
The command is not "sideload filename.zip" but
"adb sideload filename.zip"
Did you enter it correctly?
What does the terminal say as an error? And are you running Linux, Mac, or windows?

Yes that is exactly how i entered it but with the file name of course. Although I did try your method but i don't see any file called flash-all.bat.
So just gonna ask again, what message did you get in the terminal?
Did you extract it twice? There should be a tgz file at some point... this one can be extracted as well (using 7-zip for example)

okay nevermind my last comment. Now it says fastboot is not recognizable internal or external command. Press any key to exit
After you copied all the files into the Minimal ADB and fastboot folder the flash-all.bat should be in the same directory as fastboot.exe. Is this the case?
Try adb kill-server then (I'm a little rusty with windows) su adb start-server

Okay after I run the flash-all.bat, it just hangs at waiting for device
Install the 'Universal Naked Driver', reboot your computer and try again.
Again: The phone has to be in bootloader mode (you have to see the green android)

I've decided to take the loss on this one. I just do not have time for this. I'll just go get it replaced. Thank you so much for the help. I'll definitely use XDA for more of my android problems in the future. Thank you again and to everyone who replied to this thread.
