Milestone FAQs and inquiries unrelated to Dev

Please use this thread to ask questions about Milestone instead of making new threads.
Please only contribute to this thread if:
The question isn't already answered
and/or
The question hasn't been asked before.

Here's one: (from when I first got my milestone, aka, a newb)
I believe it should be added, as a new user to milestone would not know this. I had some trouble understanding this from searching the web when I first got the phone.
Q: What is the difference between the droid and the milestone?
A: See below
BOOTLOADER: (ability to load custom roms, custom kernels, etc)
Locked on milestone, open on droid.
* we do have some workarounds to modifying the kernel, such as kernel modules, but they are limited...
MODEL #:
Droid: a855
Milestone a853
RADIO: (what we use for phone calls, 3g etc.)
CDMA for droid
GSM for a853
2g: Quad band GSM 850 /900 / 1800/ 1900 Mhz
3g:
850 / 1900/ 2100 MHz for thailand, brazil, canada (telus).
900 / 2100 MHz other (europe, hk etc.)
* note motorola canada incorrectly shows that canadian milestones do not support 2100 mhz , but i am able to see wind mobiles network from my phone. however I am unable to join as wind mobile uses two frequencies (1700/2100 aka AWS/2100) for uplink and downlink
Now all this information is coming from the top of my head. I may be missing some information as I do not know what the droid is completely capable of. This may be because I am a milestone user from canada/telus and have only used a canadian milestone, not the droid. feel free to update / criticize the information here. I will update this if needed or when i have time. If you do not feel this post should be here, just delete it.

Q: whats the easiest way to root my motorola milestone on android firmware 2.1?

Is there a guide on how to buy a Milestone and get it to run on ATT 3G network? I know the milestone has the right radios for ATT 3G right?
Can I root and straight up load a Droid image?
Need some help
Thanks

Droid and milestone are different from each other, a droid image will not load up on a milestone and vice versa. you can get a milestone from telus (canadian provider) it has the necessary frequencies for at&t 3g.
or a brazillian or thailand version, but those are harder to find..
european milestones do not contain the right freq!!
Milestone bootloaders are locked, so the amount of things you can customize are severly limited, take a look at milestone development forums and then take a look at droid development forums. there is a big difference in the amount of modifications...
there are many guides to root a milestone, but it involves flashing a vulnerable recovery, and then either rooting via update.zip or via openrecovery (openrecovery the easiest)..
make sure you read the guides (search google i'm a little tired at the moment) for a definitive answer.

Why there is not Roms for it's XT720 i have search but i can find any rom ............

Is there any quick way to change a milestone boot logo?
Can it be done with terminal emulator?
Thanks for help.

Q: How do I change the Boot Logo on my Milestone?
A: **THIS REQUIRES ROOT**
Before making any changes make a nandroid backup using openrecovery.
First find the boot animation of your choice, search google or this site.
Change zip file name to bootanimation.zip and place in root of your SDcard.
Run Terminal Emulator(available in the market) and type the followings exactly as its written.
su
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip
reboot
You should see some processing as you typed in the third line.
If you see an error, there might be a typo and retype the third line.
After reboot, you will see the custom bootanimation of your choice.

Asking for a friend
Q: Is there a way to change the font size in the stock email (exchange) app on the milestone? It's 2.1 Update-1, not rooted.

Is it possible to have the US version of the Milestone xt720 with open recovery?

how do you install motofrenzy image?
i wiped my phone with openrecovery already . and now i just don't know how to install the images . it tells me to put it in nandroid/adbrecovery , but there isn't a folder in my phone like that . do i make one myself ?

Can't open recovery menu
Hi,
I installed G.O.T's open recovery on my Milestone and did a nandroid backup & installed flac support + root (though my phone was already rooted, don't know why I did that
Now I can't open the recovery menu anymore. The device boots nicely to recovery mode with power+X, but camera + volume up doesn't open the recovery menu as before. Any ideas what's wrong?
Otherwise the phone seems to work just fine. Any help would be appreciated

1. I installed Open Recovery GOT mod. However whenever I enter recovery mod, I always have to install update.zip to access Open Recovery. Is this a limitation of the Milestone?

I don't think so, you go into recovery first, that's when you apply the update.zip, you can't just run your own recovery, that would be too risky.

There a way to change the boot up sound? the beeps are annoying and I'd like to have the "droiiiiiiiiid" sound like i've seen in a few Youtube ROM demo's.
Is it possible?

Below is the apk file 1.1 I got from the internet:
http://www.mediafire.com/?l8gqi9egdna5vps
BUT,
I cannot install the apk file of Google Earth v1.1. onto Motorola Milestone (non-root). The system informs "application not installed". I uninstalled the apk of v1.0, then tried to install again this apk 1.1. However, it happened again: Application not installed"
I downloaded the apk file v1.1 from the internet. I tried to 3 different apk files, but the same wrong thing: "Application not installed". Though i got the apk v1.0 installation succefully before.
Please help to install!
Thank you so much

Updating to 34.4.9 if you're on the leaked FroYo ROM

While I was waiting for a 34.4.9 Nandroid so that I could get out of the leaked T-Mo US FroYo ROM, racca suggested an ingenious way of getting the update to work. I tried it and true enough, everything went without a hitch...
I am posting the method here as an alternative to flashing the Nandroid:
Files needed:
3.6.190 Nandroid: http://www.multiupload.com/WUL9KCXA3H
3.6.360 Update: http://www.mediafire.com/?ke2i73aa8i3pyem
34.4.9 Update: http://www.multiupload.com/YOXKQ18YW0
Initial Steps:
Note: Do this for both updates
1. Extract "updater-script" from the update. The files is located in: META-INF\com\google\android\
2. Delete everything between this line: "mount("MTD", "system", "/system");" and this line: ui_print("Verifying current system...");
3. And then delete everything between this line: "show_progress(0.100000,0);" and this line: "set_progress(1.000000);"
4. Save the edited file
5. Open the update and navigate to: META-INF\com\google\android\
6. Overwrite the updater-script file
7. Close the update
Steps:
1. Root your phone and install Tenfar's Bootstrap Recovery for the Defy
2. Transfer all of the required files to your SD Card making sure that the 3.6.190 Nandroid is in the correct folder: goapkrev/backup/
3. Create a Nandroid of your current system - DO NOT RESTART
4. Restore the Stock 3.6.190 Nandroid - DO NOT RESTART!
5. Apply the 3.6.360 Update by selecting the "update from zip" option - DO NOT RESTART!
6. Apply the 34.4.9 Update by selecting the "update from zip" option - DO NOT RESTART!
7. Wipe data/cache
8. Restart your phone

First link (http://www.multiupload.com/WUL9KCXA3H) does not work. Please doulbe check!
* Some how if you click on the url's link in my post (that I copied from his) it works *
* I was so happy that I forgot to say "thank you"; THANK YOU! *

All I did was flash official nandbackup from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985688
over the leaked U.S. SBF and did a wipe in setting/privacy after restore or nand.... worked like a charm.

Sorry, there was an error when I posted the links. Fixed it now...

Works fine on my Defy from the UK. Lots of crappy tmob bloat.
Came from Pays rom. just wiped restored nandroid and then wiped again.
Tested 3G data and camera and flash and wifi all working fine.
BTW im using a UK defy with a US image in AUS.

Haha! Great!
So it works for other models as well...

im getting occasional google talk authentication failures even though the password is correct.
i had this happen with the early leaked roms also a few times apps wouldnt download from market place had to reboot to fix.
All the rest is brilliant.

This method works beautifully!!!
Only I restored my own nandroid 3.6.360 then applied the edited update, etc. etc.
!!!! MAN I LOVE XDA FORUMS !!!!

Thank you for sharing the nandroid. I was just about need it. One little question here, can I extract some specific files from the backup without flash it?

Attached Screenshots

Steps to flash the rom is straight forward
Load appropriate apollo_0531.ops file in odin and flash the .tar as "one package"
This will get the rom working
There are 2 things that fugumod does
1 /etc/init.d scripts start
2 Filesystems are recognized
Best way to I do is
When i am on Stock kernel I delete all files from /sdcard/Android/data/fugumod/
and keep fs.convert with lines
---------------------
mmcblk0p2 ext4
stl6 ext2
stl7 ext4
stl8 ext2
---------------------
boot in recovery and do factory reset and delete cache
Flash fugumod
and wait for ages so the fs gets converted
If you dont want to wait..
dont keep any files in fugumod directory when on stock kernel and rest remains same
i.e factory reset and flash fugumod

for a quick workaround if you get stuck after fugumod flash
remove sdcard
Do data/cache wipe and factory reset from recovery
and boot.. you'll get in os faster..
once the phone is on insert sdcard and wait for it to get mounted
delete all files from fugumod directory and reboot
Initially fugumod is super slow because it has to convert fs load scripts and cpu is not scaled properly.
once the fs is fine, converted and recorded in fs.current the init scripts (apps2sd) are also cool with everything
then when you see the interface its very slow because of inappropriate cpu speeds (use set cpu to set settings of your choice)
There is a also a zipalign script which will run for first time and take time to make itself comfortable

Nice...

Good work! Nice to see new Devs popping up!

[ROM][Port][Updated: 20-Aug-2011]GB MIUI for Milestone2 All-in-one update.zip

THIS THREAD IS OUTDATED. DO NOT USE. LOOK FOR OTHER MIUI ROMS AVAILABLE ON DEVELOPMENT FORUM.
As usual I won't hold any responsibility to any damages it may cause to your phone.
Thanks to Endless7 for research on this subject. Great work!
Thanks to dangpzanco and walter79 for support and ideas.
This is a simplified method of installing MIUI into Milestone2 devices. This ROM is based on Defy's WajkIUI 1.8.12 - MULTiLanguage. It's still a experimental port so not everything is working fine. With this package you DON'T need to flash any SBF into your phone.
Requirements:
- Froyo or GB rooted phone.
- CWM Recovery 3.0+. You can get it here.
Installation:
- Download update.zip to your sdcard.
- Boot into CWM Recovery
- Apply update.zip
- Wipe data/cache/dalvik cache/battery stats
- Reboot.
Notes:
- Update-scrip now backs up Swype during installation. If you are just updating your MIUI version you may not get Swype. In this case you must manually copy /system/app/Swype.apk and /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so. I won't include these files in my package as they're copyrighted and I don't have permission to distribute them.
Working:
1. Compass.
2. Sensors.
3. LED.
4. CWM Recovery
5. Device Keyboard
6. Keyboard Backlight
7. CPU Frequencies in Bootmenu
8. USB mounting
Not working:
1. Virtual keyboard half size (but now we have Swype)
2. ALT LOCK key from keyboard ( you can double press ALT instead of ALT LOCK )
3. Media HW play, only support .MP4 hardware decoding
4. Buggy message about moving data to sdcard in every boot.
FOR THE ONES HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GSM RADIO:
1. Search for Milestone2 baseband switcher app. If it doesn't work try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182050
Changelog:
20-08-2011:
- Fixed MIUI Torch/Light sensor/Backlight bugs from 19-08-2011 update.
19-08-2011:
- Fixed camera screen upside down
- Fixed USB mounting
- Added Swype Backup&Restore during installation
18-08-2011:
- Fixed CPU Frequencies on Bootmenu
- Fixed keyboard backlight and light sensor
- New bootanimation
Please, report any problems you found so I and the other may try to fix it.

Hey r2beta0
What is the difference b/w this and the one posted by Endless7?? The reason I'm asking is that I wasn't able to boot that one. I was not even able to get to stock recovery afterwards.

Probably because you didn't flash the fixed sbf correctly. My package is made from the same source as endless7, but I've included all images that needs flashing on the update.zip so you don't need to flash anything with rsd lite.

My MIUI uses baseband files from Brazil 2.2 SBF. You may try Milestone2 baseband switcher app.

No luck for me with the GSM signal. This is pretty strange. Because under system-> mobile network settings, it shows my operator correctly but still there is no signal.
Anything you can suggest??

I have tried that. I get the signal every now and then. But after a while it drops.
I have heard that there are different radios (for GSM) available for CM7. So could it be that I need to use some different radio (if such a thing exists for Defy CM7)??
I mean a friend having similar issues with CM7 on Galaxy S told me.

Hey I solved my problem myself. I replaced all files in etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ in the MIUI ROM with the ones from w0ndersp00n's Deblurred GB (since I had no signal issues with it) and changed permissions of all files to rw-r--r--, now it works perfectly. No signal drops.
Got the idea from Defy section. Following post.

Just update the fix for keyboard backlight. Maybe you should take a look

I have seen it and have changed the value of first two rows to 255. Its too bright right now to notice it. Will update, if it works.

does this also include the patch from the CM7/MIUI port thread? which includes alot of fixes?
so basically,once i flashyour update zip, are there any fixes or files to flash myself, and if so which ones? thanks!

Tutorial if you DONT have 4.0 / Updated HBOOT
Update your recovery.
Check HBOOT version is 1.7 or below
Boot to recovery.
Flash stock ZIP file which is included in ZIP file.
Tutorial if you DONT have 4.0 / Updated HBOOT
You need S-OFF and HBOOT 7.0. If you have HBOOT 6.8 follow steps 2
- Rename the file PG88IMG_hboot7.0.zip to PG88IMG.zip. Follow Steps (4-7)
- If you have HBOOT 7.0 and S-OFF. Flash this PG88IMG_SAGA_ICS.zip.
- Place on root of SD Card.
- Turn phone off.
- Boot with Vol Down and Power to enter Fastboot (or adb reboot bootloader)
- Press vol key. That will start update of HBOOT. Restart at step 3
- After you have HBOOT 7.0 and HTC 4.0, you must flash a new recovery.
- There is a file for every OS (ends in .bat -> Windows, etc)
- Double check that file for your OS and it'll flash a new recovery.
- Then flash MIUI ZIP via Recovery

Can you just put the boot.img so that miuiandroid users can use the rom directly

On Miui.com thread a guy posted the boot.img.
But you need to download from here :http://115.com/file/an6ehsht

official 4.0 with boot.img on: http://115.com/file/an6ehsht

I cannot connect to WiFi using the rom. Tried with different kernels. Anybody have the same experience?

I installed the Rom with Tutorial but still have Superuser and same FC installing any apk file problems..

show black screen after flash rom ,what i do

Thanks for posting.
No problems downloading and it runs well, I don't know why others have problems...The only thing I encountered was the WiFi not being able to connect as ADHOC, I flashed another supplicant and it shows the network but will never even try to connect..Also reboot into recovery option? I'm surprised there wasn't one. The default launcher (personal taste) completely sucks, trebuchet? Some good features such as access flashlight from lockscreen (my favorite) and configurable back button to kill delay, excellent!! and a few other small things.

I am Chinese, I want to show something I read from miui.com forum for desire s.
1. For wifi cannot connect as adhoc, this is because miui remove this feature from v4, so all the official miui v4 devices do not support this feature at all.
2. The rom is based on HTC China 4.0 OTA, not CM9, so the size is increase strangely.
3. There are some UIs with HTC Sense included, the bug is reported to miui dev team, but no response.
4. Some people have the networklocation apk fc, it's because miui use baidu apk for location, not google.
5. Some people said the rom is extremely un-smooth (maybe I use the wrong word), especially when sliding icons on desktop and open folders.
6. The GPU 2d accelerate is disabled by miui dev team because of the issue from the Qualcomm chip. (But the port version can enable this)
7. After pressing home button to return to desktop, the rom reflection is very very slow.
These bugs are found by miui forum, can any devs fix them? Especially for 3,4,5,6,7:angel:
