    Exclamation not bricked but not good

    in short I have a short time to fix a data problem I caused...

    I rooted my milestone and lost all data connection except wifi. I tried reflashing with several different SBFs and was told to build a new APN but I cant get APNs to save.

    I am hoping to find a rootable SBF that is known to work on ACS (Alaska Communication Systems) but any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Model A854 but now reads as follows...

    Model-----Droid
    firmware--2.1-update1
    baseband-C_01.3E.03P
    Kernel-----2.6.29-omap1-g7fa8788 android build@apa26 #1
    build #----ESE81

    as a rookie I don't understand most of this yet but I am learning...
    I fly back to work Sunday and really need this back on-line before I go if at all possible.

    Thanks in advance for any help
    Keith

    Sounds like you flashed a Droid SBF onto your Milestone.

    I can't be 100% on that, though, because I'd assume the bootloader would prevent such shenanigans from taking place... Hmm. I have no experience with a Milestone, unfortunately.

    that is just the most recent I have flashed a few. I went with some droid SBFs because the instructions to get droid x into recovery was hold X while pushing power and that is how I had to get my milestone there as well... even from stock.

    You are contradicting yourself. You have listed 3 devices.. None of them are the same, and each requires different instructions and files..

    Please be more specific to get better directed help.

    not sure where the contradiction is but it is as it says...
    the info in the first post says what the phone says now.
    the instructions for getting the milestone into recovery NEVER worked for my phone (camera button) only the X button as the instructions for droid x... therefore i tried SBFs for the X also not sure what is on there now but it is getting harder to get anywhere so I am looking for a different SBF that is for milestone and hopefully is known to work with ACS as I need to get my 3g back.

    thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion.

    The original Droid1 (Sholes) is Power + X to get to recovery, not the DroidX (Shadow). To get to the bootloader (to flash an SBF) its Power + D-Up.

    Recovery is NOT the bootloader.

    Sholes Droid1 is NOT a Milestone Droid1.

    DroidX has nothing to do with any of this.

    I'm totally confused, where did you read that booting the droid x up with the x button goes into recovery, it doesn't have a keyboard. I'm surprised that using an sbf for a different phone didn't brick yours.

    I'm mainly confused about how he flashed an SBF through the recovery menu...

    I am only saying I understand none of this so I was trying different SBFs because none of them helped me get my 3g back or allowed me to save a working APN.

    so... should I look for a Sholes SBF?
