Check the development section. You'll find a huge collection of updates. Personally, I'm using CM9(ICS 4.0.4) by fjfalcan.

Take your pick
Like napnau said, there's a huge collection from which to choose.
Some of the recent hot ones in development:
CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0-MilestoneXT720 beta
MIUIv4.0-Motorioxt720-2.5.4-beta
CronosX (Android2.3.7) for XT720 - RC2.1
And there's more where that came from

But am talk about the official because i am stell in warranty
I don't want lose it

2.1-update1 is the last official ROM for Milestone XT720.

If you just looked in the net, Motorola confirmed that they won't be releasing any updates/upgrades on our unit. So, your best chance of having the latest Android OS is to flash a custom rom. Thanks to our humble developers who made it possible.

Where did you get the firmware from? The ones posted in the dev forum do work with super one click. If I can get hands on this firmware I can try to root it too and tell you my results.
I got it from service. Its almost perfect. Fast, no bugs, no FC, but different from v 20. So oneclick 1.9.5. Is not working. Without root I cant backup and upload it.

What's the error you get using superoneclick?
I think that if you change the title more peoples will come and try to help. For example, new gingerbread version......etc.
It's hard to help beacuse we don't have this firmware.
Try super one click 2.1

Sure, we will wait for the final release but if we got the chance to test the latest available version why not? It worth the try, at least for me. By the way, I am running the old leaked GB and I am very happy, no lag at all and some good new features.
Rastko any luck rooting? Which country was the service flash done.

Ok, superoneclick 2.2 is not working. Is comes to step 7 and that's it.

First you need to root it using one click root in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18942700
Then you just need the atrix 2 bootstrapper apk. Download it from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346977
Then you simply reboot into recovery and select backup. Let it finish. Reboot back into phone.plug in usb to your pc and mount.then just find the clockworkmod folder on sdcard. Open it.then open backup folder.then open the folder there which will be a bunch of numbers. Finally youll see some files.the "system.ext.tar" is the file i need.just copy it to your computer anywhere and upload onto rapidshare or filedropper.

[Project] ICS Work Thread-6/4/12-SEARET leaked now-reply with any other leaks

DON'T MESS WITH THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING, ESPECIALLY WITH AT&T PHONES
I'm Starting this as a general thread for all our ICS work now that we got our first few leaks. Please Hold off on screwing with this stuff without knowing what you are doing as there is risk involved. If you are interested in helping out or learning more about the risks please reply to this thread or send a PM to on of our devs. Below is some general info of what we have so far that will be updated as I and others learn more.
1. We have a leak of seemingly working ICS for the ME865 used internationally. Some stuff from it may be useful, but not extremely as we mainly focus on MB865 here.
2. We have a leak of ICS for The MB865 MEARET that is used internationally. it will flash on phones that support that firmware. It will not work on AT&T phones as is. We are working towards getting what we need from it to make it work in some way.
One of the main focuses now is going to be to pull what we need from these to get CM9 or AOKP working. with the radio drivers and kernels, we should be able to get something working very soon. (and by that I mean a while, if you have been on her a while, you should know that! )
Devs or others, please tell me anything you want added. while I like to keep things in the open forums, PM may be a good Idea to keep things from being to crazy around here with people (including me) so eager.

I would not recommend saying there is a chance it could work on at&t .its not possible without our own ics mb865 kernel (which would require a mb865 ics leak) first and youre gonna help brick alot of novice users phones. You should definitely state with big letters in red "do not try this if you have an at&t mb865 phone"
It would help spare us of a thousand new threads with newcomers freaking out asking for help in the dev section because they decided to try and flash me865 firmware/kernel on their mb865 not to mention the thousand pms youll receive

Motorola Defy Mini low internal storage space

Hello i recently bought a motorola defy mini 600mhz 512mb ram 150mb internal storage and a 16gb sd card.
I have a couple of apps and the internal storage is already full, this is my first android phone and i have heard of rooting but it hasnt been discovered for my phone.
Is it possible to set the sd card memory to be seen as internal memory?
And is it possible to install a new android version?
Thank you

What can we defy mini users do?

Sent from my XT320 using XDA
i think so
Setting sd as internel memory is commonly referred to as "partitioning", where a part of the sd is used as internel mem...
However, for that, you require root access, and a kernel that supports init.d scripts...

How can i know when rooting becomes availible for the defy mini?
Sent from my XT320 using XDA
That is a difficult question to answer...
Does your device have a forum on xda? (Check in the legacy and low activity sub-forum)
If it has, things get a little easier since people can then come together and experiment with different methods...
I'm guessing it does not, so the next thing left is trial and error...
If you are willing to risk your warranty and a possible bricked device, you can try a few of the popular gb methods (I'm assuming your phone is on gb), like gingerbreak, superoneclick, or unviersal root tool etc...
HOWEVER, do this at your own risk, as you cannot hold anyone else responsible for any damages...
Also, from what I've heard, motorola phones usually have a locked bootloader...and unfortunately, I have no experience with such devices (as mine does not have a locked bootloader)...messing around with the bootloaders increases chances of bricking...
Sent from my GT S5670 using xda free, (coz the premium keeps force closing :banghead: )
I doubt if SuperOneClick does the job. Rooting your phone is easy as 123 with that tool, but on some phones it turns out to nothing. I guess they already tried it.
It didn't work on my poor Mini...
It would be the best if you wait for an official method.
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA
Yeah i have already used it but it didnt work.
I hope the official method comes out soon because its quite long since the release of the phone.
Sent from my XT320 using XDA
Official method?
A phone gets root as people try to root it...there's nothing that the manufacturer does!
Its all trial and error...or some people study the source and find out ways to root!

So.. did someone managed to finally root the Defy Mini? How can a phone this cheap be so hard to root?
The processor in this phone can run from 600 to 800Mhz (as Qualcomm says), but it is blocked to 600 on the official room. This cpu should run fine at 900-1000Mhz. Also we would get even better performance if we manage to put a stock android on it and get rid of Motorola bloatware.
Din pacate inca nimica.

[Q] BBM for GingerBread?

I see that there are many posts regarding BBM but this one will vary from the others.
I have an HTC Amaze 4G Asian version which has not received the official ICS update. I am running on Gingerbread 2.3.4. As BBM is only available for ICS+ devices, I therefore cannot download it from the Play Store. I know I can root it etc. but I do not want to get into that stuff ( almost bricked my phone in doing so ).
Is there anyway that I can download ICS compatible apps to Gingerbread? Or can anyone somehow convert the ICS BBM app to be somehow compatible with Gingerbread. If not, is it possible to download it with only the root? I don't want to perform S OFF.
BBM is a must have app ( at least for me ) and I really do want it. Please help me and tell me if I could somehow get it while on Gingerbread.
Thanks,
Shahmeer

Not all phone can be upgraded to 4.+ even with custom roms and those that do have custom roms usually have so much bugs or non working essential features thats its not ready for daily use. Some of us have no choice but to say with 2.3 if we want a working phone
