Hi,
i've read on the support-page from Motorola (https://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades) that the xt720 in Europe will stay on 2.1, but the Korean version will get the 2.2 update... So will it be possible to get the Korean 2.2 Rom and flash it to the European one? And how about the Language will that be possible to change?
BTW, will there be a seperate Forum for the XT720??
Greets,
**Jürgen**
Just read that information too...
Used to say 2.2 comes in [Q4] on 720...
Pisses me off
everyone

sign up and sign that petition. if motorola wont move its ass on this im boycotting them for life >_>
Good idea, but i don't think that will have an effect. If this is going to work, there need to be some 100.000 people at least... Whyever Moto thinks that the phone isn't worth the wile, it has to be a massive call to them to react... sadly
I think if there is going to be a port, it has to come from the community. But the same problem here, the phone doesn't seem be have been bought enough to make a custom ROM, there even isn't a seperate Forum on the device...
PLEASE someone who can do this, help us out to not let a good phone to fade away...
problem is that the kernel has not been hacked yet. its locked on the xt 720
its better to try then just say its no use right?

Petition signed, such a disappointment when I learned that 2.2 will not be rolled out to the xt720.
Yea, me too, so lets hope for the best or at least for costum roms; )

So what does it mean now?
We can load custom roms (Froyo)?
I am on the verge of selling this phone because of no Froyo upgrade.

What rom did you load on when You rooted it? Because this is the link to the "stock" fender rom on cursordroid's post.

I'm currently running that what I'm looking for is the unrooted stock image files there is no benefit of having this phone rooted anyway.

just sell it rooted so the buyer wont have to go through the trouble; how much you selling it for anyway?
Im sorry buddy your screwed. I guess thats another specfic detail I have to add to the fender rooting thread. Once you root, That image is gone. Unless you can find one on the internet and convert it, you will not get it back. Problem is, for us to get recovery to be able to make a back up, we have to wipe the phone clean as is. So once you downgrade its gone.
I think I may just take the fender tut down. its ridiculous at how many people do it, when I have said there is no point, and then ask somethign liek this later.
It can still get OTA updates (over the air) from Tmobile, so just wait about a month and 2.1 will be on there all on its own.
I actually rooted it without your thread. I found your thread when i ran into the no touch problem. I used cursors ROM. I've been working with android phones/ROMs since the G1 came out. I was working on compiling a kernel for the phone because i actually like it(never had a mytouch b4) but now that i N1 i have no use for it and i want to sell it. I guess i'll just have to make a ROM based off one of the 32A port and hopefully the person that buys it of ebay won't know the difference :/
FYI: not everyone here is retarded i know what OTA means -_-

Gime a break dude.. I was just syaing in case because there are a lot of people here who dont know.
And if you were compiling a kernel why did you stop? because the best 3 guys are on it now and they cant get the new drivers to work.
Mainly because I made no progress and im attempting to sell the phone as I said I have a nexus 1 now
Hey guys as you may know gingerbread is running on almost every device now even my Droid Eris has 2.3 so I was wondering since the have cm7 for milestone now and it seems to be running pretty good and they can't flash custom kernels either I'd love to see 2.3 on this bad boy since got an almost 100% working froyo. Does anyone know what files are needed to get 2.3 up and running idc if anything works I just want it to mess with. Any input would be awesome.

The bootloader isn't unlocked on the XT720. Gingerbread isn't possible unless Motorola decides to unlock it or releases 2.3 for it (which is extremely unlikely).

Did you even read his post? He talked about CM7 on the normal Milestone 1, which isn't unlocked either. CM 7 is based on 2.3 If it works on the Milestone 1 with locked bootloader, then chances are big it works on the XT720 too.
Yes milestone 1 has a locked bootloader just like us they just have more developers than we do. Dexter gave me some insight on how to get it running so I'm gonna give it a try. I dont know alot about porting roms but Im reading up on it. We should be able to get it working tho. If anyone's knows anything about porting should give it a look.
Good day,
The installation on custom roms seem a bit confusing, was wondering if someone could help me...
Own a milestone A853, would like to update to Froyo / Gingerbread.
Another thing, I am from South Africa, is it possible to revert back to stock, ie 2.1 update 1 ? How exactly do I do that as well...
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thank you very much
you have a different phone, this ROM will not work with your phone
Wrong thread
I don't have a Milestone XT720, why was this moved to the Milestone XT720 discussions ?
It's the normal GSM Motorola Milestone, with hardware keyboard ? I'm just tired of waiting for the official update from Motorola, since that doesn't seem to happen.
Please let me know. Thank you very much

I've painstakingly laid out everything you'll ever need to know about flashing ROMs almost EVERY modern HTC android device. It's stickied right at the top of the Q&A. Your REALLY should have looked at that first. The link is in my sig.
Hi all,
I am UNBELIEVABLY new at Android. Actually, because I now work in a more techy environment I've decided to buy an Android phone to check it out (being mainly an iOS user... no tomatos plz). SO I settled on this really great shape Infuse 4G from AT&T on eBay. Work fantastic. But... I'm in Canada. And I really want to have the French Canadian localization on the phone (there is French, but the keyboard layout is different - azerty vs qwerty - and the general local settings are whacked).
Since I'll be on Rogers anyway, is there a way for me to get the Rogers dump on my phone? I realize they aren't on the same version so I'm not sure how to do this.
So, any help to a total noob would be appreciated. I plan obviously on rooting and unlocking, which I assume I should do first to get the Rogers version on there. I'll read into that now...
Thanks

Bone stock Rogers ROMs with stock kernel will have issues with rainbows at boot due to bootloader incompatibilities.
If you are primarily looking for localization - all Gingerbread ROMs here are based on the Rogers dump (Although I don't think Hellraiser and derived ROMs carry the localization stuff from Rogers, but from the I9000 ROM that is being ported instead.)
Infused 2.x should have the locales you need since it's heavily based off of UXKG3.
Thanks! I didn't realize how complicated this could get... reminds me of my old WM6 days! But that should get me going.
If you don't mind me asking, would there be a way to simply add the localizations to the current ATT ROM without flashing? I'd like to get a bit more acquainted with Android on a stock ROM before I go nuts with modding...
And while I'm at it, is there an easy way, once I would hypothetically flash the phone, to restore it to ATT ROM if I want to resell it for instance?
Thanks so much for the help!

As to adding localizations - that one I don't know. Considering that Infused 2.x is still missing US English due to its Canadian roots, it may not be that easy.
As to flashing back to stock - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251

hi!

There is a back to stock for Rogers...but it will give you issues if you have an Att phone

If you use the Rogers ROM you want to use a custom kernel. If not you will have no recovery and rainbows on boot. You can also flash the new kj2 bootloaders if you use heimdall, that would allow you to use the stock kernel if you wanted to.
thanks...
