Alltel just released the firmware update. And I found a Root for it as well. So I am Root.
BUT they have it just like Verizon has it now. You have to have mobile Hotspot plan, BUT only the new firmware can stop the use of the Wireless Tether.
So what I need is to downgrade my milestone X back to what it was before.. Like use a stock rom. But I can't access the clockwork recovery mode since I updated. I have searched almost everywhere. Please help me with this. I'm sure others are looking for a way to do this as well.
I can apply update.zip via Stock recovery mode, and i can also access bootloader.
Thank you
P.S: I'm new here, So if I posted this in the wrong topic area, Please just transfer it to the correct location. Thanks

I recently did the same and experienced the exact same frustration with tethering. I have searched and searched for answers. I too believe that we need to downgrade, but I now have an boatloader error. From what I am reading, the error comes from the phone not accepting the downgrade. Unfortunately, I can't find the 2.3.5 sbf to load back on it.

The download link is the same, they just modified the description.
I looked it and the link was already clicked by me. So it's the same.

No, no fixes. I did flash over 2.34 though if that makes a difference.
Mods could delete this topic as long as this rom isnt new, so ppl wont spend time here.
Well, I don't know if it's new are not but I do know that it's fully working unlike the last one I tried. I'm a happy guy. Yesterday I thought I had a bricked Defy(thanks to Sorensiim for his McGyver trick) and today I have a fully functional Froyo Defy.
ROM is rooted
3G works
Camera/Flash works
Google apps and market work
For those interisted I went from a clean install of 2.34. Did a wipe. Installed the new(?) chinese froyo 2.2.1 ROM. Wiped again. And all is well.
In this rom, is there a bootloader file?
Maybe there is a unlocked bootloader because some one said he could flash all the time all now?
Which Language is inside?
COuld we go back to stock rom?

Definitely wouldn't at this time... I'm sure the partition sizes on the two devices are different, as was the case with the G2 and the Desire Z

I just flashed the P999 AP BIN on my O2X (P990) with SmartFlash for P990 .
Its looking really good. Stock Android 2.2.2 (Froyo) with T-Mobile bloat, but nothing we cant uninstall.
EDIT: It seems I cant connect to my Vodafone network. Everything else seems to be working.
EDIT2: Root is gone. See if Super One Click can bring it back...Yup got root back .

So everything is working apart from the network I.e. phone calls, SMS etc?
More or less, but there are still issues when it comes to partitions. You better follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031969

can someone explain how to flash the firmware using smartflash? I cant seem to get it working
Hmm, my phone only reads LG-P999-V10f in the Factory Version part of settings. There was a screenshot in an different thread of the Factory Version being LGP999AT-00-v10f-TMO-US-MAR-27-2011. Now this one is LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0.
Does that mean there is 3 different versions of the firmware out there? If so I wonder if any have the 850 Band for AT&T available to select?

It is thought that it may take a modified baseband to make them accessible (although one post in the general section sounded like he received a SIM unlock code from TMO and was told to activate it with an AT&T SIM in the device).
Related to that, the flashing of the G2x Firmware on the Ox2 probably screwed up the baseband on it,as they use different bands. Someone on the Ox2 Forum did the reverse - everything worked but the network connections also

U have to download a desktop installation file, connect your phone in charge mode, and then activate the service. Its quite a bit, but totally worth it.

T-Mobile variant clarification

After reading a few threads, it would seem that there is an msmtool for the tmobile variant now but still no method for root? I'm not counting the method to convert to international version.
Do I have this all correct or am I missing something?

The T-Mobile MSM tool is to revert back to the T-Mobile firmware. If you use the MSM tool to convert from the T-Mobile version to the international version, you can root but you must be SIM unlocked prior to converting to the international version.

Right I had mentioned that in my post, but I'm a little apprehensive to try it because I don't want to have issues with lte or wifi calling.
Is there no way to just root on my stock rom? I kinda just want a custom kernel and themes.

There are no issues what do ever with LTE of Wi-Fi Calling. They work great. The newest update for the Global/International version fixed the issue some had with Wi-Fi calling not switching over fast enough.
