Found this during my digging for XT720 ROMs.
XT720 Open Recovery
Does this not mean that it is possible to port some ROMs to the XT720?
Well not full Roms as one will not have access to the Kernel... etc.
yes i would say so. but no1 is doing the porting.. =(
open recovery works great on xt720!!

Yes!
Maybe come custom roms?
Would an XT720 rom theoretically work with an XT701?
why there is no custom roms ???
because the bootloader is locked, but actually Dexter on this forum got a leak of the 2.2.1 and there is an easy guide to install it! Look in the mile stone xt720 developpement you'll see its probably the first link!
possibly if it is easy to install, I personally I have no experience, but we will try. Unfortunately motorola openrecovery leaves no access to, but we have solutions that Dexters and his new rom.
A few days ago trying to enter the system and always XT720 bloqueba with an exclamation point, but already we can change the openrecovery rom. Thanks Dexters
Greetings!

Froyo for xt720 has released
And the test version before is the same to the full version released today(12.22)
I remember thay Skrilax_CZ said
"On XT701 you can have unsigned kernels. I think you'll be able to port it from xt720 quite easily."
So how can I do this?
please help
Thank you in advance.
Did I miss something? Froyo for XT720?
EDIT: I see...
xt720 froyo leaked
The XT701 has different processor (Omap 3430 vs Omap 3440), different camera module (5MP vs 8MP), so I'm not too sure it would work.

ar....
the camera should be 8MP...but moto just locked and put it down to 5MP... cause i can use the camera360 to unlock my xt701 to have a 8MP camera(3264 X 1840 16:9, 3264 X 2448 4:3)
for the processor part...i don't know is it the same... but i hope someone can make a rom for xt701 as it is a great phone as well...

hope so) I need froyo for my xt701 too.
i want to have 2.2 on XT701 too
camera of XT701 is the same as XT720
and i know the CPU will not be a problem for OS
so, developers, please make a 2.2 ROM in XT701
I am really hoping to get some Froyo on other models also. My XT711 is hungry for something better!
hey guys
I'm interested in having froyo for the xt701 as it's a good phone, is there somebody out there who could explain how we could port it or maybe give us some tips?
I would be really grateful if there's any help.
thanks
Anybody could tell me that how to port android 2.2 in XT701.
If someone find a way on how to make our xt701 runs on froyo please post it on this thread!
Thank you!
I hope somebody can give us a basic instruction on how to!
i too would very much like to know the answer to this. thanks a lot!
Need FroYo for XT701. Have you any information?
You could port the Milestone 1 Froyo. Dunno exactly what's different on the XT701, but that's the only thing you can do right now.

its very difficult for me. The bad thing is that forum.xda-Developers has no theme about XT701
'Cause the XT701 is only sold in a few countries, while the XT720 is sold all over the world.
What you at least can try is to download the Motorola App, then select your model as the Milestone 1 and let it install the upgrade (or download the SBF by hand and flash it with RSD Lite). Big chance it'll work since there is little difference between the MS 1 and the XT701 (AFAIK). If it doesn't work, report back and I'll see if I can assist you (although I have no experience with ROM cooking, but I can at least try to help you).
what is Motorola App?
And I can't flash anything without backup. I didn't see any FAQ how to create it for xt701.

There are instructions there for the XT701. After install, you can create a Nandroid-backup. Then you can download Software Update here: http://direct.motorola.com/ENG/Soft...torola.com/download/RN_Milestone_FROYO_EN.pdf (yes, pdf url but it takes you to the download page)
Then you can use that to try and get the update. Please report back after these 2 things
Vistaus, I've done this:
Download & Installation (XT701):
1) Download the archive Open Recovery Version 1.46 for XT701
2) Either flash the sbf file using RSD Lite (preffered, recommended version 4.6+), or flash using the flash_image the *.img file to recovery partition.
3) Unpack the "OpenRecovery" folder and "OpenRecovery.zip" to the root folder of the sdcard.
Usage (XT701):
1) Reboot into recovery (hold camera button)
2) If no error occurs, you're now in Open Recovery. If error occurs you're in Open Recovery Lite.
Lite vs. Full version (XT701 ONLY):
- The recovery image contains Lite version, with minimal options (moreless only difference from stock recovery is the GUI and applying update.zip doesn't need any signatures.)
- When booting into recovery, the Lite version is started. It will automatically switch to full version by applying the OpenRecovery.zip).
BUT Lite version of Open Recovery didn't turn into a full version((( OpenRecovery.zip didn't apply.
Hmm, does it give any errors? Please post them here then
(the erros are the only thing that would be helpful 'cause I have no XT701)

I would also really like to see a custom ROM for this abandoned phone. I know it was underpowered from day one and with moto dooming it to stay on 2.1 forever has made this a big avoid phone - but the little thing just looks funky and it'd be good to see it keep going
Also want a custom rom for Flipout (2.2 is enought) to my wife´s phone, to be able to use apps like Google Music !
hi:
The ROM with English, in three versions with the current hybrid, UK2.21 and the UK. 2.51 and 2.2 in China. is power. Very fast. There is little BUG. The ROM for firmware 2.21 and 2.51 firmware. Need to meet the tenfar's recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875233
To restore, because I am the IMG backup file. There can be restored in the recovery.

camera works and it is pre-rooted, including custom recovery
BUT like i said earlier there doesnt seem to be much from 2.2. only things iv noticed so far are the keyboard and aparently flash EVRYTHING else apears to be stock 2.1
Tks for reply.
Normally, if this version is 2.2, there's flash player 10.1 installed. Just check on the market , in downloaded section, or check with titanium backup.
Anyone can check this ?
In the original Chinese post, the poster said this rom is basically a 2.1 rom with some 2.2 things(didnt mentioned specifically). And it works as fast and power saving as a 2.2 one. Maybe a benchmark test would be good.
I just would like to know if it's froyo or eclair? or what else?
after checking with titanium backup flash 10.1 isnt listed, there is no mention of flash anywhere. and running quadrant gives a score of 1053
Hi,
I know, everybody hate questions like the following. But here it comes:
Can anybody test if the "Bluetooth- HID" is working? (Should be part of Froyo)
Thx, Jo

No. Only use D2G Roms on a D2G. There is a tool (git-r-done rommer tool) that claims to make D2 Roms work on D2G, but there is an element of risk. The only rom for D2G I know of is fission. Everything else I would consider unstable.
I liked the vanilla UI on fission, but for me the performance was lacking.
D2G blur-stock & rooted

On droid forums there are a few more roms for the d2g, notably fenom by fenuxx and angel rom by 13th angel, I personally use fenom because its stock debloated and with a few speed hacks to make it run faster, runs amazingly on my phone, and it can also use fission themes.

questions about rooting - how to, and what will it help with
Hi all:
Have had a D2G for about 6 months. Want to root it. Have tried z4mod multiple times and it doesn't work.
1. Can anyone help me either get it to work or recommend another method?
2. once it is rooted, how can I use the new root access privileges to optimize my phone's performance - my biggest problem is that it has become very slow. I have tried to not clutter it with useless apps and try to run things from the phone itself as opposed to SD storage, but it is still slow.
Thank you!

I don't know what kind of slow did you get, but I assume you're on Stock rom, right ? maybe you can try using a custom rom such as CM, Miui, Liberty or Apex
I was just interested: How do the custom roms such as dexter's rom get past the locked bootloader? Does the milestone xt720 have the efuse?(te one on the droid X) Any help to clear my doubts would be appreciated!!

ohhhh....... so that means even a locked bootloader is of no use to stop devs from making new custom ROMS? Yay!
Even more... there is a project 2ndboot that allows to boot custom kernel everytime.. but it not finished yet.

To put it better: it's not finished yet for our XT720.
On Defy it works good.
Nope! In Defy works 2ndinit! I was talking about 2ndboot.
I needed to clarify a thing..is it possible to flash stock based ROM for eg: [SE TWEAKED 0.85] in se arc s without unlocking bootloader..Im on rooted ,locked bootloader se arc s.
THANKS IN ADVANCE..
I don't know how similar the Sony Erickson phones are to Motorola. 2nd-init would likely work, but it would be better to ask in a SE sub forum.
Thank u so much dude....im sorry to have posted it here..
