Please help with my failed upgrade.

Hi!

My milestone reboots repeatedly after flashing a 2.1 firmware with rsdlite 4.6.
What should i do now.

Any help is appreciated.

Did you do a wipe before the install?

I'm curious why you wiped after you flashed?

I read some posts saying that certain kinds of firmware file with suffix "Service1FF.sbf" won't wipe data and cache after upgrade as usual and can cause peculiar problems when using. Now I tried reflashing without 2nd wipe, still reboot continuously. Do you think my phone bricked ? What should I do then?
Thanks!

No I do not think you phone is bricked. I not clear on what you've done. Can you send me a PM with the exact steps that you have taken so far. That will help me to get a grasp of the problem and to get you a solution.

I'm thinking he re-flashed his phone, but instead of using the 2.0 file, he used 2.1 which gets About phone info to be all the 2.1 info. People have done this on the Droid, and I think this is what he is talking about. The guide for the Droid is HERE so you know what I am talking about.

I hate to say this but we might be the wrong guys to ask. The milestone is different from the droid from what I've read. I'm not sure if droid rooting techniques work on the milestone.

They don't. It takes different ways to root different milestones too in different countries I think.

This may help (how to root?)
