MotoSense v0.51 patch (see top of post)
WIPE YOUR PHONE BEFORE ANY FULL IMAGE IS INSTALLED! (Recovery menu - factory reset)
If you don't you might get constant reboots with the M logo
INSTALLATION:
Use G.O.T Recovery / Open Recovery to install this rom.
Currently require you to install a 2.36 stock rom, before you install this one.
Radio Band Requirements for different countries
Some countries require the original 3G files of your current ROM to work ie.
Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Germany and some others countries uses a different band for 3G. If u dont backup the 4 original 3G Files and restore it over this nandroid once installed u gonna have poor signal, sms problems and HSDPA loss (even if u set apn and get conection its gonna be crappy one).
Files should be in the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ of your phone.
This can be done using OpenRecovery and a adb shell.
You might check this thread , if a update-nosign.zip file exists for your model. which makes it easier for you to install.
Filenames are:
File_Audio
File_Audio2
File_GSM
File_Seem_Flex_Tables
generic_pds_init​​

(Dock , GreekIME , Maps , MotoCarDock , PersonalPortal , VSuiteApp , QuickOffice , teeter )​NOT SOLVED
- Reloading of Rosie (HTC Launcer)
Reason for not fixing it is that Motorola Milestone simply do not have enough memory for HTC SenseUI to run stable with only 256MB.
the launcher is very memory hungry for all its plugins and graphics.. so sorry, no fix, unless you add 256MB more memory to your phone.
- Bluetooth headset​

OLD REVISION DATA DELETED, OBSOLETE and not worth writing anymore
WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if
you brick your phone.. Image has been tested on a UK milestone and works fine if all files in ADB recovery image is used.

woah, nice work buddy. just got a question, if i apply this rom to my North American Milestone, do i lose the ability to access 3g/hspa network from rogers?

is gps working

i got one guy on IRC from Canada(im from europe, so im not sure on networks you got overthere), he tried it, and it works fine for him
You should try to only flash the system+data image of it, as the cust.img contains telephone info, which might be what you need to keep.
GPS is not working atm..

im new to the motodroids , will this work on the motorola droid or just the milestone ? ive had the droid eris so im not sure if there is a difference between the droid and milestone, sorry for the dumb question,

Porting is no easy task, when its not about development, and zeusdroid actually do have some customized wireless driver.
But i managed to use the existings drivers from Milestone..
And im probably not going to do programming to make the port perfect, as that not so easy, although i got some experience.. but none within driver programming.

im really happy with the progress dext3r, this is awesome.
just curious, any ETA for GPS fix?

if you know your way on a few linux commands,
then you're welcome to make it work yourself.
1 . copy the /system/lib/libgps.so from the original milestone 2.36.0 image.
2. flash motosense image.
3. mount /system
and copy libgps.so into the flashed image into /system/lib
and GPS works after a reboot.. So fixed!
of course all done from adb shell.

10.1 for 2.1 senseui roms are not real, it just looks like 10.1,
but the flashlite already reports that number.
and yes, flashlite works fine. tested on a few flash websites.

I have a Telus Milestone and I will consider trying this ROM at some point.
Just to crosspost from the other thread... in another thread I was told the following. Could be useful for keeping 3G.
DAGr8 said:
cmstlist , there is an easy way to retain your baseband just flash the HK sbf , then , copy paste these files and make sure you set the permissions correctly .
Probably safest to do via adb if you dont make sure you reboot ...
for the 3G baseband Hack/Swistch it 5 files from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
File_Audio , File_Audio2 , File_GSM , File_Seem_Flex_Tables , generic_pds_init

So perhaps if you want to try Motosense on your Telus Milestone, then you should backup these 5 files (and take note of the permissions) before flashing the nandroid image. Then afterwards if 3G doesn't work on the Motosense image, restore the same 5 files.

Ok I wasn't able to flash only certain parts of the nandroid backup so what I did was make 1) a full nandroid backup of the Thai firmware (leaked from GOT) on my Telus Milestone unlocked for Fido, 2) a partial nandroid backup using the options --backup --nodata --nocache --nosystem
Then 3) I flashed all of the motosense backup. Trying a first boot. Will report on whether my NAM 3G is gone.
All I get after the M boot logo is a black screen, followed by a force close notification for system. Nothing else comes up. Long-press Home and I get no recent applications. Oh wait - spoke to soon! Wow, just got the HTC lock screen. Unlocked and now I have the setup screen. Asks me to insert SIM to place calls as if I don't have one inserted. My only option seems to be to press "Skip". Okay, home screen loading up now after the tutorial.
So yeah it's not seeing any phone service and I get "Unable to start Wi-Fi". I'm going to try a second reboot. This time the Droid eye shows up promptly (BTW this is very odd to see because Milestones don't usually have that animation). The phone boots up considerably faster than on the Motorlola firmware. *This* time, I do see cell service. In fact I just got a text message. Wait it just dropped again.
Trying to search for network operators. None showing. Strange! It does see wifi though this time. As the OP implied, DHCP not coming through. Meanwhile my Fido service just came back... VERY weak. Dropped again. Normally both EDGE and 3G are quite strong at my apartment so it's odd. Is it possible this ROM has weaker RF somehow?
Ok trying to set up the APN. Noticing the keyboard doesn't light up. APN set up but still no service. Reboot #3: Yes, wifi works now. Mobile network still very weak. Briefly connected to mobile data and it was EDGE. Test phone call fades in and out. Maps manages to wifi-geolocate me.
Alright, so I'm obviously having connectivity problems and only getting 2G. Let's try flashing back the partial I took from the Thai firmware. To be continued next post.

Okay! Flashed back my partial backup from Thai 2.1. Rebooting. Droid eye comes up, glares at me a couple times, back to the homescreen. Connects to Fido. Disconnects, connects again. I am still connected via EDGE, not UMTS. I try going to *#*#4636#*#* and selecting WCDMA only - no dice.
Alright well this has been fun. But obviously I need my phone service to work so this ROM is not for me. Despite having dutifully pasted the info up above about the 5 files to backup... I neglected to do so. So it's back to the full nandroid of my Thai firmware. But one thing for sure, Sense is very pretty!
Before doing this, I made one attempt to install Superuser.apk using the app installer, and then to install Root Explorer. Root Explorer was unable to get root. Maybe if I installed Superuser via OpenRecovery it'd be happier.
Okay back to normal. Goodbye for now Sense!

Backup restored successfully. I used Root Explorer to back up the 5 files in question to SD. Then I restored MotoSense one more time, and before even booting it up the first time I applied root from OpenRecovery. This time it booted much faster. (Is there any way the stock ROM can be hacked to boot this fast? Wow.)
Again, wifi fails to start on boot #1; succeeds but no DHCP on boot #2; works on boot #3. Signed into my Google account and installed Root Explorer (previously purchased). This time Superuser pops up like it should and we're in. I entered Airplane mode. I pasted in the 5 backed up files from the Thai firmware to /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default after mounting read/write. Then I made sure to fix the permissions. Rebooted without exiting airplane mode.
After reboot I disabled airplane mode. Hey, FULL SIGNAL BARS! I did it. But now it's telling me unable to start wi-fi. Let me add in the APN next. Done.
YES! The little H pops up. I'm getting 3G data! But as soon as the icon pops up, it drops out again. In any case I know I'm connected to UMTS because my cell tower ID in Maps > More > About is 1957869 which is my local UMTS tower. Test phone call is *much* clearer and signal isn't dropping anymore. One more reboot.
On the next reboot, wifi is back. Upon disabling it, the lovely "H" shows up and then flits down to "3G". Testing in browser... hmm nope. Something still missing, don't know what. One more reboot, trying again. Internet works on wifi, but not on HSPA (even though the 3G/H icon comes up).
Sanity check: Dialed *#*#4636#*#*, Phone information. Run ping test.
Ping IpAddr: Fail: IP addr unreachable
Ping Hostname (www.google.com): Fail: Host unreachable
One more sanity check: Switched to GSM only, verified in Maps>About that it's connected to a 2G cell ID (57322). Full signal bars, good call quality. So swapping the files improved both 2G and 3G voice performance.
Since I had a bit more success with this approach, I'm saving a backup for future reference, and on my rare moments of idle time I'll play with it again. But back to stock for now.

[ROM] (Flytouch 2, SuperPad, WWE10) Froyo

This thread is for the custom Froyo rom for the Flytouch 2. It is a port of the first Flytouch 3/Superpad 2 Froyo rom, adapted to run on the flytouch 2. I will update this post whenever a new version has been released.
This rom will only run on tablets which display a version number in the bottom-right "Infotmic" screen when first turned on.. If yours doesn't display a number there, you will need to flash firmware v2852 first, see below in FLASHING V2852
INSTALLATION
Installation is slightly different from normal releases because it requires flashing in 2 steps. Luckily, it's really easy:
1. Download bootable SD-card image and unzip. Pick an image from the RELEASES section at the end of this post.
2. Write image to an SD-card that's at least 1GB in size using Win32DiskImager:
Get Win32DiskImager here: https://launchpad.net/win32-image-writer
In Win32DiskImager: When you open it, there is a button to browse the .img file and after that, at the right of this button there is a selector for the SD-card. Select it, then click write and it's done.
When finished, take out the card.
In linux, you just unzip the file and use dd to write it to the sd-card:
Code:
dd if=/path/to/sdcard.img of=/dev/sdX # (where sdX is your scsi disk device, check dmesg)
3. Turn off tablet and put sd-card in TOP slot (between the 2 usb ports).
4. Turn on tablet. It will report that it is booting off the sd-card, and that it's flashing kernel + filesystems.
5. Take out the sd-card when the tablet asks you to do so (takes less than a minute). Put it in the OTHER sd-card slot (bottom one), and reboot the tablet by holding down the power for 10 seconds to turn it off, then press it again to turn it on.
6. You will now see the tablet booting with a *GREEN* screen. The screen will flash twice to indicate it's starting. The flashing itself will take longer than in the previous step, a few minutes. If succesful, it will automatically reboot, after which you're done and you're booting the new firmware! You'll see a different boot screen (equalizer on a black background)
7. After it has booted and you have unlocked the screen, reboot the tablet first thing! First boots in android always tend to be behave erratically. This is unrelated to this firmware and applies to all Android setups.
If step 6 fails (which is very unlikely), it will stay on the green screen and it will keep on flashing the screen. In that case, you'll have to turn it off. Most likely problem for this is a corrupt SD-card. See troubleshooting below.
Make sure to never put that sd-card back in the top-slot without erasing it first, as it will reflash your tablet!
TROUBLESHOOTING
The 'green screen' keeps flashing!
The installer will dump a text file on the root of the sd-card which you can inspect. The file is called fail_reason.txt. If no such file exists, things are seriously wrong and the tablet couldn't even properly write to the sd-card. If using another SD-card, or rewriting the SD-card doesn't help, please upload the fail_reason.txt file here.
Flashing was succesful, but the system freezes at the android animation!
For this firmware to work, you need to have a recent version of u-boot. You can tell if you have this by looking at the INFOTMIC bootscreen you see when you turn on the tablet. If the bottom right corner does not show a version number, then you don't have it.See instructions below.
FLASHING V2852
You need to flash this firmware to install a new version of u-boot. To flash this firmware, you will need to connect your tablet to your PC using an USB A-A cable, OR create a bootable SD-card.
Download firmware V2852: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3bkklw36b1414nd
Download and unpack IUW: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?3572bd7zfjo0r0y
Start IUW
If you use an USB cable: Click 'Link USB' on the left, select 'easy burn' from USB Mode pulldown in the right. Connect tablet to PC with the tablet turned offf, then turn it on by pressing & holding the menu+home buttons, then pressing the power button until it turns on. Release the menu+home buttons after a few seconds. Windows should now detect a new USB device. Install the drivers that are in the iuw1.1/otg_driver directory.
If you create a bootable SD-card, Click 'boot disk' on the left instead. Select sd-card to flash on the right
Select the IUS file form the v2852 firmware under 'Choose a wrapped image'
Click 'burn' to flash the tablet or create the sd-card. If you created an sd-card, boot the tablet with the sd-card in the top-slot, between the 2 USB connections.
TODO
How to enable 3G support for USB dongles?
(**) Tested:
wifi, ethernet port
battery status works, g-sensor works
touchscreen works, including calibration
HD video playback works (I recommend Meridian player)
Market works (full), Youtube works
angry birds works ( thought I'd mention it )
The firmware has already been rooted! You can connect using adb over wifi, and type 'su' to become root. Find your IP address using the Android System Info app.
GPS confirmed

Hi everyone.
I just made a personal version of system.tar.gz, and I thought it could be usefull for someone.
Most considerable changes:
Calendar and contacts synchronization now working again.
Simple stock froyo keyboard, without chinese characters.
Replaced youtube with the old working version.
Market updated to last version (no paid apps, though.).
Default launcher replaced with launcher pro, which is considerably faster.
Removed phone and telephony settings (see below)
Other changes:
Removed stock browser, replaced with dolphin browser HD.
Removed default file explorer, replaced with File expert (first free file explorer with working root that I found).
Changed alarm clock.
Changed calculator (but has wrong visualization).
Changed music player with music mod.
Added facebook, maps (+ navigation + latitude +places), chrome to phone, google search, google reader, terminal emulator, Titanium backup, voice search. adobe reader.
Maybe I deleted some other stupid flytouch stock apps, but actually I don't remember.
Warning, notes etc...:
All apps are free apps from market.
Phone apps (Phone.apk, TelephonySettings.apk) removed for test, due to suspected battery drain (Someone said so...), so:
Phone settings don't work (gives you force close when you tap on mobile settings menu)
Don't install if you use 3g adapters, as I think you won't be able to use them.
Maybe some future workarounds for paid apps on market won't work.
App2sd doesn't work. (Didn't even work before. I think there's some problem in the kernel with device mapper and crypto). I'll try to implement the fake app2sd that uses an ext partition on sd.
This is just a personal versionof stargulus' system files with apps I'm used to have on my phone, so maybe it won't fit you.
How to install:
First important step: boot in recovery mode (back + home +power until you get in recovery menu), and wipe cache and data. This must be done. It also helps to have stragulus' calibration file installed correctly.
Prepare the sd as described in the first post of this thread using the last Stragulus' sdcard image (v4, See link in this post).
Go to "stage2" directory and replace system.tar.gz and system.tar.gz.md5 with the downloaded ones.
Flash.
The first boot will be quite long, but it's normal.
While using the flytouch for the first time, it will probably lag and hang. Just reboot and it won't happen anymore.

I hope this will be usefull. Advices are welcome.

Cheers! I welcome custom mods of the base rom. I'm willing to add them as alternatives to the first post by linking to the introductory posts. In this case, it looks like parts of it are suitable for integrating into the base froyo rom (e.g. calendar & contact sync fix). What exactly did you do to fix those?

Wonderful, downloading now at 7.8K/sec (why sooooo slow?)
Is Google Sync fixed?
Thanks,
Barak
Later:
Well, if I add Verandi's MOD I get sync but I loose calibration option.
Still, I prefer the MOD with sync.
Thank you guys. Amazing Job !!!
1-5-2011
Please note that verandi has created a V5 mod that adds sync option without eliminating calibration.

what's the latest?
which should I use?
EDIT:
If possible enable a swap partition to optimize tablet in ROM? (we have little RAM)
Camera have a problem. Green image in V5 (24/04/2011)

@ Stragulus
I've been waiting for
Thank you for your work

Market will not dowload
Well once again my hats off to you Straguls for a job well done I installed the version 5 rom with no issues however the Android Market still only displays the free apps and will not download and install any of the apps it states download unsuccessful any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Steve

In my case loader version number is missing. But u0 is 0.6.1.2_1.4.587_OV2655 and u-boot from 2852. And all work fine.
Probably condition is flashing firmware 2852 in the tablet instead of only u0?
IMHO.
Because the firmware is full image and contained u-boot and u0. Flashing u0 need only if camera don't work with 2852 from full image. Of course, if the tablet has not been purchased already with firmware 2852 and above. Without this step you will get many reports of "fre-e-e-ezing" or "stop in android on screen" like in the previous thread.

hello
I have stitched from card Froyo V5
The tablet is loaded and asks calibration, but it does not work: (
Was 3245, but it has ceased to be loaded and I have updated on Froyo
I do not know what at me uboot how it to look? Probably to update it with sd?

Ask question in Russian. I tuzzz from the forum china-iphone.ru.

Вообщем поставил Froyo (v5)
после прошивки при первом запуске появляется калибровка экрана, но на нажатия никак не реагирует
поставил назад 3245, на ней все нормально
Возможно ли это из-за загрузчика uboot, как можно посмотреть его версию и возможно ли обновить его с SD, т.к. возможности с ПК нету?
google translate:
In general set Froyo (v5)
after flashing at the first startup, a calibration screen, but clicking does not react
put back 3245, her everything is ok
Is this possible because of the boot uboot, as you can see its version and whether it is possible to update it with SD, because capabilities with a PC no?

Answer on russian forum.
Also read from here and below.

That could be true indeed! I thought those who fixed their problem only flashed U0, but maybe all of them actually tried to flash all of v2852 with the IUW tool. Upshot here is that it should be possible to flash the entire firmware using a bootable SD-card, e.g. not requiring an USB cable.
Can anyone confirm that creating the bootable SD-card for FW2852 using IUW as described in the first post fixed their install of the froyo setup?

If you create a bootable SD-card, Click 'boot disk' on the left instead. Select sd-card to flash on the right
Select the IUS file form the v2852 firmware under 'Choose a wrapped image'

Excellent Work
Many thanks stragulus!!!!!!!
Now I once again have a usable Pad - the Calibration works perfecly!!!
My route to Froyo was from 3245 to v4. I HAD to flash U-Boot-Nand FIRST. This gave me the Infotm code in the bottom R.H.corner. The only problem was with the calibration.
Again MANY THANKS. Please continue to develop for the Pad.

Hmm. I do now recall that someone tried all those methods before to no avail. When I flashed this firmware, I think I did:
* Flash all of FW2852 (over USB)
* Found out that it didn't work 100% as it still booted an older ramdisk
* So after that, flashed U0 with u-boot-nand.bin. That triggered the 2-minute tablet going crazy on first boot.
* Then flashed all of FW2852 again, and now it worked.
Soo.. I think bottomline is, if you haven't seen the tablet go crazy for 2 minutes, it probably didn't work. Question is, is just flashing U0 once with u-boot-nand.bin enough..? It appears this does not work for everyone!?

Hi!
I replaced GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk and GoogleCalendarSyncadapter.apk with the ones from my phone. I am 98% sure I replaced only these two, because I didn't note down the names.
Now I'm trying to solve the next problem I have in the list: I can't leave the pad in standby, as it drains the battery like it was awake.
Yesterday I had a look at proc/wakelocks file to see which processes are requesting wakelocks.
Comparing this file to others around the net and the one of my phone, I found out that some processes were active during standby (they had 0 value in sleep_time row).
Now I haven't here my flytouch, so I can't be precise (I'll edit this lines next days), but I remember that some processes and powermanager were never sleeping (in all other wakelocks files, powemanager was sleeping on standby but main process not, so I think powermanager is faulty and main process not.).
Powermanager is a class contained in system/framework/services.jar so I tried replacing this file with my phone's one. It worked as the wakelocks file was showing that powermanager began to sleep on standby, but I had no improvement in battery life on standby, as, I'm quite sure, the other processes prevent the full sleep of the device.
To you and everyone who reads this: can you give me a help?
Can you fully recharge the flytouch, then disconnect the power supply, note down the start time, live it in sleep mode and then measure how long it takes to get discharged?
It tried myself today: unplugged at 16.30, left it in standby, died at around 19:20 ---> 2h50m of battery power on standby.
(If you also can tell me how long it stays on when you use it, and what kind of use you made, I would really appreciate too! )

Hail to Stragulus.. unlocking the beast!!!!
stragulus,
as usual.. I am riding on someone else's brilliance.. thanks for the update..
Will load it up tonight when get home from work..
My only wish is app2sd...
it has made such an improvement to my Evo with ability to load programs in..
So if someone wants to come up with a fix.. I am sure you will make many internally grateful!!!!
Edit after flashing:
Flashed the clean version WITHOUT verandi addons..
the Calibration works perfectly
feels fast and clean..
had problems with launcher pro .. and Titanium backup..
for some reason using Launcher pro it would not allow Titanium to see the sdcard.. thus couldnt restore my backups..
Played round for a while.. upgraded to Titanium 3.6.1.1 same thing..
went in and wiped Dalvik cache.. still no go..
have shut down launcher pro and installed ADWlauncher (almost the same as launcher pro)
walla.. now Titanium is seeing the SDcards and backup.. confirmed that it restored backed programs and data..
Market is working for me.. just wondering if we can port market from Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - RLS 5 into this rom..
as this may be the workaround that will get past the only free apps showing.. I am using it on my Evo and in China..
so usually only get to see free apps.. but with MWTPT I am getting all apps.. I do understand there is a app floating round that is suppose to be able to reset Market in to thinking it is in a zone that will allow it to show all apps.. may need it to load in to this Rom..
Will put it through its paces and report back over the coming week..

Hmmm. This time is extremely low for standby mode. I use kernel from 3245. With this kernel battery indicator won't work properly but OS works more stable.
Also I removed Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk. I don't need 3g modem. And 3g modem still does not work with this firmware.
With full charged battery I disconnected charger from tablet at 22:00 (in my local time). Now is 5:25 in my local time and tablet has ~4% battery indicator. From my experience tablet shut down after 5-10 minutes. All this time tablet is in standby.

Excellent work and thank you for the Google sync fix - it makes my wowpad WOW!!!
Can you please add these files to the V5 version? Without them there's no sync. If I add your V4 files to the V5 rom there's no calibration. I wonder what else is lost !!!
Thanks,
B

Cheers! I welcome custom mods of the base rom. I'm willing to add them as alternatives to the first post by linking to the introductory posts. In this case, it looks like parts of it are suitable for integrating into the base froyo rom (e.g. calendar & contact sync fix). What exactly did you do to fix those?

Great job. Thank you about that. I've a little question.
I've updated my Flytouch with you sdcard V5. Everything works fine, but i can't get the connection with USB 3G dongle. How i can do ?
There's a program to get the connections ?
I've tried with "quick setting" but nothing happens.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you about that.

[FAQ][REF] Korean Motoroi XT720 Updating, Root, OC etc..

well, not exactly a FAQ...
I write this as a user of a Korean Motoroi XT720, in Korea. I do not know or care much about using this phone elsewhere, but some things here may still be useful for people in that situation.
First the Korean version Motoroi XT720 is not exactly identical to the international Milestone XT720 and certainly not identical to the original Milestone A853 (Thanks to Mioze7Ae for pointing out about the original.. also see his comments in next post about more detail on the subject.)
For one it has DMB, the internal storage apparently varies on other versions (I think), radio frequencies and APN settings are not compatible if using ROMS from the wrong device.
It may be possible to make a ROM from another version work, but that's not my thing.
Roms from for the non-Korean versions probably will not work without some changes
And therefore, custom ROMs from English sites probably don't work. There are android developers in Korea, but I don't know if any develop for this phone.
Updating
repeating:
Roms from for the non-Korean Milestone XT720 probably will not work without some changes
And therefore, custom ROMs from English sites probably don't work. There are developers in Korea, but I don't know about this phone.
Froyo (android 2.2) gives you apps 2 sd.. which you need if you have many apps.
Froyo update linked from first post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881801
Don't worry about the bugs reported there if you are using the Korean model. The bugs (except for maybe the mediaserver issue, more later) are related to the fact that people are using the rom on non-Korean phones.
The rom there is the same rom as available officially on the Korean update site. It's just much easier to get it from the above link.
To flash it,
1)get any version of RSD-lite (I used 4.9 and it worked). I used windows xp to run it. Mileage may vary with windows 7.
2) Run it. Load the sbf file.
3) Check that the file stats get filled in (otherwise you got a bad download which happened to me once).
4) Put your device in download mode (keep reading for instructions).
5) Connect the USB.. use a good heavy gauge cable like the stock cable, and plug into a rear connection on the computer. This really can matter.
6) Hit start, and wait a long time, this phone's flash process is REALLY slow. (compared to Samsung)
Within a couple of minutes though it should be clear that something is flashing and progress indicators should be incrementing. Don't wait hours.
There's a good youtube video somewhere for the milestone.
**Official Update
Unlike the manual suggests, OTA does nothing.
The latest official ROM version seems to be reported here:
http://www.mymotorola.co.kr/product/PrdRsdPhoneList.aspx
So in the unlikely(?) event there's another significant update, we should see it there.
Official updates are flashed by a web app from here:
http://www.mymotorola.co.kr/product/PrdRsdMain.aspx
A thread discussion roughly how to traverse that complicated Korean web page process to do the update is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908314
Notice the non-Koreans failed, but that's because they had the wrong phone. Your phone should be connected by USB when you start the web process. It took me two tries and a computer reboot to get it to work, but it worked. It probably helped that I can read most computer terms in Korean writing.
**Download and Recover Modes
Download mode allows ROM flashing. Recovery allows wiping data cache, and applying update.zip files (which can modify your rom).
Download and recovery modes keys
Recovery (mostly quoted from someone else):
Turn off phone
Press Power key + Camera Mode Key to power on the phone and bring up the recovery screen
(Trianlge with exclamation mark shows after motorola logo)
Press Volume Up + Camera Key to show the recovery menu.
Use Volume Up/Down Key to highlight and Camera Mode Key to select
Be careful.. selecting wipe data, will obviously delete most of your apps.
Download Mode:
Turn off phone
Press Power key + Volume Down + Camera key
Camera mode key is the little one next to the cammera key.
Volume up means the one toward the top of the phone.
If the battery is out of the phone and if it turns on when you put it in... then replace "power button" above with "insert battery". You don't have to contort to do both as some people say. Either way, the power key or battery should be the last part of the combination.
**Rooting
Super one click is said to work, and certainly it should. I used the rageagainstthecage exploit with adb (the same exploit as super one click). There's a similar hack described elsewhere here. I can try to improve this section if needed later.
**Market Games etc
Many applications are blocked to Koreans in the market. This includes all games. Use the Market Enabler app from the market to fix this. I use it to set my provider to [us]T-mobile. If you get the pro version it can be made permanent on boot up. The free version isn't.
**Some Tweaks and tips
Launcher
The stock launcher is a little jerky on this thing, or was in eclair, (update.. I think froyo and/or the mediaserver fix solved this)
Anyway.. you can try ADW launcher or launcher pro or something else if you have problems. These sometimes pause to reload though when you hit the home key.
mediaserver bugginess
A few people using the Korean froyo on the Milestone report that there is a mediaserver issue where mediaserver consumes battery and slows the phone. I may have detected this on the Korean phone too, but not sure yet (not pateint enough). The solution offered around here is to replace the media server binary. Here's the link I found for a new one:
http://dateno1.egloos.com/28452
It is a Korean page, so it probably is an issue for the korean phone. I installed the mediaserver_d file, and the phone still works and yes, maybe better, but if you do the fix incorrectly, you can boot loop your phone and need a reflash. I don't know the difference between the two files offered there.
so the way to do this (assumes basic knowledge of adb use)
1)root the phone
2) cd to the directory with the mediasver_d file
4) do all this...(this has not been cut and paste tested, but it's what I did by hand, check for typos).
Code:
adb pull /system/bin/mediaserver mediaserver.original
adb push mediaserver_d /data/local/tmp/mediaserver
adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/yomama /system
# mount -o remount,rw -t roots / /
(the mount type and device name actually don't matter for a remount command)
# rm /system/bin/mediaserver
# cat /data/local/tmp/mediaserver > /system/bin/mediaserver
# chmod 755 /system/bin/mediaserver
# reboot
Keyboards:
If you want Korean and English entry, and want spell checking in English and an overall much better keyboard, I highly recommend Smart keyboard Pro, and download the English and Korean language packs for it. I've tried many keyboards. Keep in mind though, I don't like swipe. Don't forget to configure the spell checking stuff. You must enable it in settings and you must select it as your input method... long press on an input box.
Lockscreen
If you don't use pattern lock, skip this. If you use pattern locks you probably see no need to 1) press power 2) do a slide lock 3) do a pattern lock. On many phones the pattern lock disables the slide lock. On some, including this one, it sadly doesn't. The only unlocker toggle I found that fixes this is Anti Lock from the market. It uses a little battery and it flashes between screens real fast in an un-appealing way for half a second when you press power, but it gets it done. I like having it better than not having it.
Tethering
There's a 3G hotspot app included for this.
**Overclocking:
This device is potentially very overclockable/underspecced. (but don't take my word for it, I only know rumors and such.. do this AT YOUR OWN RISK This may damage your phone (if you overdo it) and you may be denied warranty repair.. real examples of this exist I think(questionable source)
First root the phone.
Get Milestone Over-clock. You must find version 1.4.2. On the web site you must click show all versions or something like that on the download page. Newer versions don't work on the Korean device.
Run it. Slide the slider all the way to the right to get custom mode (you really should use custom mode) Hit menu key. GO to settings. Do *NOT* check apply on reboot until you've tested your setting. There's a thread around here, I'll link too soon, with people's experiences. On my particular device I cannot get as a high a speed with as low a "vsel" (chip voltage I think). I run about 4 vsel higher or more to stay stable for long times during angry birds.
I found that 1 Ghz, at 60 vsel (most people run 1Ghz at 56 I think) rebooted my phone after half an hour of heavy use, and became pretty warm. I backed off to 900 Mhz at 58. I think this is ok for me. I may just be unlucky.. chip variation does exist, or maybe the Korean models are a little different (see Mioze7Ae useful comments in next post).
**A little about ROM file manipulation
This is just here to point the curious in the right directions. I have not explored this stuff much yet and some info may even be wrong.
Anyway, this is just a FAQ not a development thread.
Again custom ROMs from English sites made for Milestone devices won't work without some changes.
Kernels are locked by the boot loader (at least that's true for the Milestone), so no custom kernels exist (well not in a very practical sense).
Official Rom files are SBF files. SBF files are packed together smg files.
SMG files are apparently yaffs2 image files and can be mounted with loop mounts on a linux system or the phone.
update:
So actually you need yaffs2 support and you need to create a nandsim device on a ramdisk, so that's a bit involved:
http://www.aleph1.co.uk/pipermail/yaffs/2005q3/001356.html
and it seems you can probably dd the image file onto the ramdisk then, or unyaffs it.
but in the end that should allow actually editing the image, and possibly even producing modified flashable images.
but unyaffs works to extract the contents of CG39 (/system) and CG33 (/cdrom.. whatever that's for).:
http://code.google.com/p/unyaffs/downloads/list
You can google a windows version too.
MotoAndroidDepacker or sbf-recalc are two tools that can unpack sbf files to smg files and repack them again (possibly even making modified flashable ROMs). sbf recalc has a linux version but I only found a binary which dynamically links to the wrong versions of libstdc++ for my system.
It seems more popular around here to create "nandroid" images (which I think are also just filesystem images, but I haven't really played with it).
Open-recovery seems to be the tool of choice for making and flashing nandroid backups, but I haven't looked into this at all yet.

Nice!
About overclocking--be aware that according to paper specs Motoroi XT720 and Milestone XT720 have different CPUs. Supposedly, the chip in Milestone XT720 is rated for higher clock rates (800 vs 550 according to TI iirc, but Motorola put it to 720 to be cute, I guess). It has been claimed that it's actually the same die and manufacturing process but TI sold the chip slower initially. Motoroi has the same CPU as A853, iirc.
There are some korean ROMs. We don't know a lot about them here unfortunately due to language barriers. Another phone very similar to the XT720s is the XT701 sold in China. It has an exploitable bootloader.
From what we've been able to figure out the biggest differences are the TV tuner and the sensors. Things got really confused over here (XDA) because the froyo ROM we had was based mostly on A853's froyo (Dexter's ROM). Lately were working on a ROM that's mostly based on the Korean froyo. The file differences between the two are much fewer.
For now, the most important part seems to be running the right kernel because sensors don't work correctly when you're running the wrong one. The partition tables are baked into the kernel, so the Motoroi has a partition table better suited to froyo. The total internal memory is the same, but the Motoroi sbf has a larger /data and smaller /cache and /system.
Sent from my XT720 using XDA Premium App

Good info. I don't know these days, but years ago chips with different speed was largely the result of random variation and QC checks. If they sold it slower originally, then slower chips may have gotten through QC. I don't know if that logic still applies much anymore. I heard that many many years ago.

oops this post was in wrong thread somehow..

I have a Korean Motorola Milestone phone. I unlocked it in Korea & brought it to Europe to use. I did 'factory reset' and it worked fine. I had to 'root it' to install some special fonts. The rooting was successful and I was installing the font during that time the phone reboot itself and stuck at the first 'T' screen (Korean vendor). I tried to re install it to factory default but of no use. The problem persists.
At system recovery level I get four options:
1. reboot system now (tried & failed as the system is corrupt anyway)
2. apply sdcard:update.zip (I can't do as I don't have an update.zip)
3. wipe data/factory reset (yes I did this but still no recovery as the
default system is presumably corrupt)
4. wipe cache partition (yes, I did of no additional use)
with this background I wonder whether there is a way to recover my phone using SD card?
[ps. on two occasions the phone suddenly worked but I could never connect it to wireless network as the Input Keyboard did not work. Hence I could not connect it to Android application market (btw. the basic applications are still intact). Thus the possible way out is to recover it externally using my PC (if my phone allows me to connect it via USB or through micro SD card with system recovery console]
Any help?

Flash a fresh SBF using RSD Lite.

[Q] automatic reboot after lock up ALWAYS

Hello.
I´m new owner of Xoom "refurbished by motorola" bought on Don´tRetail.
With serie rom, updated by OTA to 3.2, all run perfectly. Enough smooth and run, but Quadrant give me a poor results (1700 points).
After unlock, flash recovery clothwork (3.2.0.0 rc4), I flash tiamat roms (2.0, updated 2.01, and later 2.1 hammerhead).
In all this scenaries, when just flash the new rom, work correctly, but when I installa any application...oh oh...
...when I press power button to suspend it, after eight second Xoom automatic reboot.
I back to stock status (reflash serie rom, serie recovery...all serie) and xoom work correctly.
when I reflash to use another time Tiamat´s rom...here is the problem...when I installed any application, if I suspend Xoom reboot automatically after eight second.
If I plug xoom to pc, and in "cmd terminal" I made:
adb logcat
I can suspend xoom without it reboot.
I tried to elevate minimal frecuencyes in setcpu, but same results.
I tried to do a logcat > logcat.txt in terminal emulator, and suspend the xoom...same result...reboot after eight second.
Any sygestions for I can use Tiamat roms???? With stock rom I have 1700 point in quadrant...with Tiamat without overclock (my xoom don´t let me overclock ) I have 2800 points.
A lot of thanks....Im so frustrated

Ok, I am just asking this to make sure I am 100% clear with this story.
Everytime you do an image with no apps and you shut down, the Xoom doesn't restart, but when you download applications it does... If this is so, I would suggest that you list the applications that you put on your tablet when it does restart, because to me, it sounds like it is an application that is bugging out on the Xoom.
Android systems are set up to force a restart if there are too many system resources being chewed up by applications that are a "High Priority" status and this causes a system resource lock up, and unfortunately, the only way to fix that is to force restart the system. IF it is a app that is doing it, all you need to do is make sure that app is not running to allow it to do so. Good ways of finding out is to use Titanium Backup (Marketplace) to freeze the apps (but that is only for a paid version...) or as someone else just previously suggested in another forum post is Autorun Manager where it allows you to freeze applications from starting up.
I would also suggest that you use the LogCat function in the SDK Tools that is stored in DDMS (aka ddms.bat located in the SDK TOOLS Section). This little program will allow you to do LogCat on your computer as well as save the log as a txt to upload to us (or for easy copy and paste) and as well as allows you to take screen shots and so forth. This might help you out finding the problem too as well as help us
So could you please give us these details to help you out even more?
Is this a Wi-fi only or 3g model that you bought?
Current Rom and Kernel (if I am wrong on the next two posts)
~Guess on Rom is: 2.1 hammerhead
~Guess on Kernal is: (I did not see where you said what the current Kernel was...)
Current Application List that Forces the Xoom to kill itself and reboot, even if it is just one... it might allow us to help you obtain a compatibility issue (if others are having the trouble with the same applications)
You had this trouble after you flashed the new ROMs, are the correct version? (aka Wi-fi only vs 3g romsm, cause there are 3g roms for Tiamat)
Did you clear the cache before and/or after you put the new ROMs on?
I hope we can get this resolved as soon as possible for you!
(links)
to get DDMS if you do not have it yet, please go here -- http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html -- and you will be able to get step by step walk through to get the SDK. You will need to launch in Terminal/Command Prompt (depending on the Computer Operating System that you use.)

Firts...a lot of thanks for your answer.
With original-stock rom all work all right. My machines arrived with 3.1 Honeycomb, and via OTA updated to 3.2 (HTJ85B).
With this roms, all work correctly. I installed a lot aplications and work allright. I root this rom, and all are working well.
If I try to install any rom from Tiamat, doing previous wipe, the rom runs perfect. I install Titanium to reinstall all my aplications, and all work well. I can work about hours without problems...but with this roms (with all tiamat´s kernel and launpad kernel...) in the moment I suspend, after 8 or 9 second the tablet reboot automatically.
I tried to do a clean install, and only install one aplication, like flash player...and all are ok. After it, install another one, and after it another...but at tirth or fourth there is the problem another time...and tried with diferent aplications. Sometimes the problem go after install flasplayer, sometimes after install RepliGo, sometimes after install dolphinHd...
The more stranger thing is that if a plug the tablet to pc, and make a "adb logcat"...if I suspend de tablet...no problem, no reboot.
It´s possible that mi gpu aren´t righ? I say this because I guess that when the system go suspend, the gpu frecuencies go down (or gpu voltajes) and this made machine reboot... and it´s possible with tiamat´s kernel voltajes and/or frecuencies GPU are diferent than in stock rom.
It´s possible flash a tiamat rom without customiced kernel??? If I could try a tiamat with stock kernel, or with gpu without variation in voltajes or frecuencies.
NOTE: sorry for my english

So could you please give us these details to help you out even more?

I would actually ask if you have your wifi set to go off when the screen is off. This is a known issue...unless the wifi sleep policy is set to Never, the Xoom may reboot when the screen is off. It could be as simple as that.

Oh oh...so many probes that I don´t Know if I change wifi policy or not
But I remember dont change this between flash and install all apks.
At this weekend I´ll probe it and say you, now I need stable tablet to work.
A lot of thanks.

Hi,
Do you think your improved rom will also work on the I5 S? Or alternatively, do you intend to develop for this version of goophone as well?

Goophone I5s - I need the stock rom..
My Goophone i5s bricked and I need the stock rom. Can anyone please please load the stock rom? Thanks in advance.

hi, im not sure about any of this info!
in the goophone.hk website, it says the i5s has 1 gb and is capable of 8800score in antutu.. it also says that the screen is the same as goophone i5 960x ...
it also says that is running a much smoother UI with 4.1.2 android..
but all the websites that you posted are selling a less powerfull i5s..
any ideas?

I can confirm that the i5s screen is not same as i5 because my i5s bricked and I have loaded the i5 rom and now, I lost the display.....the phone boots and you can hear the sound but on the screen I can only see different colors like rainbow. I need the stock rom to fix my phone...

Yes I was able to load Play Store and rooted the phone. Just connect your phone to your PC and copy the play store .APK file from your PC to your phones internal storage. Open file explorer on your phone and install it. Here is the procedure to root your goophone:

We need a good ROM
Hi all,
I'm in the same boat...
I've got it since a week (bought at android-sale, ).
The phone itself is really well made, excellent build quality.
The screen is really brilliant, and all is functionnal with a good reactivity and fluidity.
The iPhone theme is really good (I also got a real iPhone 5 so I can compare both )
Unfortunately, there is a lot of chinese crap... and no Google Play
I've read all other topics about others GooPhone but I think we can't flash any ROM from these other model (Y5, I5, ...).
I'm ready to test any compatible ROM

thanks! managed to install all I need.
which of the Chinese apps could be uninstalled without breaking the phone's functionality?

Thanks.
Now rooted with Google PlayStore, it's better now!
Don't know how to destroy all bloatware from it now... (i'm quite a newbie with Android :silly and associate some icons to other apk...
PS: attached some funny pics from my unboxing xperience with the symptomatic Slide to unClock
I've also found some tips from Shine (android-sale) :
1. Switch Operating System Code: *#12369#*
Imput this code at dailing interface, the phone will switch operating system between original Android and iOS Theme.
2. Access Factory Mode Code: *#*#3646633#*#*
This code is availble for most phones with MTK chipset, but please use this code carefully, because if you changed some referance, it will affect phone's feature.
3. Hold Home Button 3 seconds
When you hold the home button 3 seconds, the phone will appear on the screen three virtual buttons.
4. Double Click Home Button
Double click the home button, the screen will appear the apps you opened recently.
5. Hold Home Button 15 seconds
If your phone can't charging, or the system is dead, hold the home button for 15 second, the phone will restore to default factory status.

Don't uninstall any.... cause thats how I bricked my phone. Just wait for a STOCK rom to be available than you can do whatever you like. I already know how to load a rom on this phone but I can't find the STOCK ROM anywhere.

Hi z_man3007,
Did you try this?

Yes, I have tried that but nothing....if you hold the power button for 15 seconds it will turn your phone off. If you hold Vol - + Power Button, it will show you recovery menu but in the recovery menu you can select options using Vol - and Vol + but you cannot execute any command ... I have tried power button and home button nothing works. Thank you for your assistance.
Note: I did try holding the HOME button for 15 seconds nothing happens.

Later, I will upload the drivers and step by step procedure.... how to load a rom on Goophone i5s. It needs a special flash tool to be used in order to flash or load a rom on this phone. Since, my phone is bricked, I have tried many different things, I have even installed rom from Goophone i5, since both model have different display, nothing shows on the screen except color like rainbow. The phone boots up fine its just that display wont work. If I press Vol - or Vol + button I can hear the volume going down and also going up. I desperately need the STOCK rom. Is there a way to extract the STOCK ROM from a functional Goophone i5s?

Hi guys, this is my first post on xda forum.
Goophone.hk doesn'tt sell this model anymore. You can check on theire's webpage.
Now they have I5S model with better specs. Here is the official video: "bangpai . taobao . com/group/thread/1287552-280921683.htm" (remove spaces)
Few weeks ago I saw I5S model with low screen resolution on goophone's website. But this was a short sale to sold these phones. Now they sells new I5S phones.
