I have applied the custom recovery and boot images to my phone.
I have downloaded the RC30 update and removed boot.img and recovery.img and removed them from the manifests and update script.
I resigned the update with the tool provided in the zip with the custom recovery and boost images. I had to comment out the beginning of the script where it checks the fingerprint of the phone.
It is verifying the image and applying it, but is constantly failing on the same thing.

The patch system in this update seems to have alot of issues. Try the full one at https://android.clients.google.com/updates/signed-kila-ota-116143-prereq.TC4-RC19+RC28+RC29.zip
There is no applypatch binary in that update zip.
I already have RC29 on there, I am trying to make a RC29 to RC30 update patch that will allow us to keep root.

New super user app
MOD EDIT (dsixda): Updated instructions follow -
Instructions
Requirements:
Motorola Milestone with Android 2.0 or higher
If you have a Milestone with Android 2.1 or higher OR you have a Telus Milestone (with Android 2.0.1 or higher), then follow these steps to ensure you have downgraded to the vulnerable recovery with exploit (thanks to Ireas for these instructions):
For this we need a Only-Recovery SBF file which we can flash via RSD Lite
First install the USB drivers from Motorola
Then you need the RSD Lite Tool | Linux machines can use the linux flasher (created by [mbm])
And the Recovery-Only SBF (which will downgrade the Recovery Partition and not the system)
Start the RSD Lite, select the SBF file
Plug in your phone (while it's off)
Go into the Bootloader Mode by holding UP (on the hardware keyboard) and press Power-On for 2-3 seconds
Now select your phone which should be now visible in the RSD Lite tool
Press Start
The phone will reboot 1-3 times during the downgrade process. DO NOT unplug it
Usage:
Download Open Recovery (choose one):
Skrilax_CZ's version (requires account registration): http://modmymobile.com/forums/401-motorola-milestone/531599-open-recovery-v1-12d-06-07-2010-a.html
G.O.T.'s mod of the above version (more features): http://groupoften.wordpress.com/g-o-t-s-openrecovery/
Extract the contents to the root of your SD card.
Reboot your phone into recovery menu:
Turn off phone
Press Camera button, then press Power. Hold them both till you see recovery screen. (If this doesn't work, open the keyboard and try X + Power)
Press Volume Up and Camera button at the same time till you see the recovery menu.
NOTE: If you get an error about "EOCD Marker" at this point, that means you did not flash the vulnerable recovery properly. Go back to previous section, re-flash vulnerable recovery with RSD Lite, and after it reboots, turn off the system. Keep the USB plugged in to the PC. Turn it on again while holding down the keyboard Up key. RSD Lite should now indicate "PASS".
Apply the update.zip
You are now in Open Recovery. You can now root the phone, do Nandroid backup/restore etc.

So the only prerequisite is to have a vulnerable recovery image on your Milestone before using this, correct?

Have you flashed the vulnerable recovery SBF? This will not do anything to your phone or your data other than make it receptive to the update.zip file. Next, you go into Open Recovery which should work this time, and do your backup before trying to root.
As far as i know 2.1 does NOT have vulnarable recovery for this to work, so you will first need to replace recovery with vulnarable one, you have it all in first post.
Thanks to the original poster and to adendum. I have stickied this thread. Hope you don't mind the edits, I'm just making it easier to follow for newbies

thanks for the guide, iamdarren -
but being an original owner of a Telus Milestone which had the 2.0.1 (or whatever it was ver) I managed to update it to 2.0.1 brazilian version from a 2.1 update post awhile ago - it doesn't work.
I'm getting the error:

I have flashed the vulnerable recovery SBF clearly outlined in the guide, and went off without a hitch. Applying update.zip fails still. I have been trying to get root access to this sob for quite some time and I'm losing my marbles here.
Does anyone have any other suggestion why for some of us this error persists?
Thanks guys.

Try flashing the the Telus 2.1 shipped ROM first (from the Motorola site), then flash the vulnerable recovery again, and then flash the new update.zip.

ugh...tried that, and states:
"There is no software update currently available for your mobile device. Please check back for new releases."
I'm unable to find a SPF file from the Motorolla site. Any other suggestion for a SPF I can try? :]
For those who are having trouble with update.zip
gah! finally......
I've been reading and tweaking with my telus milestone phone for far too long, and have found the solution, but I can't post link to site, this place won't let me. Any suggestions?

Version 1.14 is out chek at modmymobile site
Easy to follow and to install. Thanks!
Just a question about the Super user app: I installed it (APK from /sdcard/OpenRecovery/root) but it shows nothing. Is there something else to do?

I'm sorry, but are you sure that you flashed the vulrnable 2.0.1 recovery sbf? Since you _do_ have an android 2.1-update1 installed : )
Build number
SHOLS_U2_02.36.0
But I still got this problem :

any idea to root my milestone or gain superuser access ?
milestones can't be rooted, they have a signed bootloader (you would need Motorola's signature to root it)
the droid X is rumored to be the same way when it comes out
got root...? yeahhhhh
I have mine rooted with the latest 0.36 update.
How...??
Simple... use Group Of Ten (G.O.T.) open recovery!!

Yeah...No. There is a difference between gaining root access, and having an unlocked bootloader. With root, you can theme and run applications that need root.
With an unlocked bootloader, you can load custom Roms.
The Milestone has root. I'm going to predict that the Droid X will also have root to this effect *knock on Wood*
Anyway, GOT Open Recovery is the easiest way to get it once you flash the vulnerable recovery.
Manually, you can follow the instructions HERE. Start with part 2. The error you're getting is most often because you haven't done the vulnerable recovery yet.
You can use this App: UniversalAndroot-1.6.2-beta.apk
You can root it with no problem. First you install the Got 2.2.1 sbf, then followed by the vulnerable recovery, then you get the modaco milestone_root.zip and flash it.
After that again vulnerable recovery, and install Openrecovery, where you can apply an update for any zip such as CM 6 for Milestone.

You did not flash the vulnerable recovery, else the sig check wouldnt apply
Could someone point me in the right direction for downloading the latest Android OS update? I'm currently running FRF83 on my rooted N1. When I select the "Restart and Install" option, it boots and says there is no signature and aborts.
Hm. I just downloaded a file named update-nexusone-FRF91-root-signed.zip, renamed it to update.zip and flashed it, but my phone still says it's running FRF83. I wish I knew what I was doing…
Command line interfaces aren't my forte, but here's what the Android system recovery program says after trying to install the update:

You still have the stock recovery installed. You have to flash that zip with a custom recovery. Install TWRP or CWM and give it another go.

I got twrp installed it just won't go into boot recovery so do you know the manual button combo for twrp?
Can't seem to get into twrp reboot just goes to stock recovery even on manual
Just a thought... when you flash a stock image you will lose root. Even though the Goomanager looks like it is installing the twrp it wont work without root. Check your root status through Titanium or rootkeeper etc. Sometimes the debug method seems to tell you that you have root when none of the programs are getting root access.
