Project Description
This is a project to port the Droid version of CyanogenMod to the milestone. While the Droid and Milestone devices are twins, they are CDMA and GSM respectively. Hacks include not flashing the boot image provided by the CM Droid package and some GSM configurations.
Status
CyanogenMod 6 RC1 (with CoburnROM hacks) will flash successfully, however it will refuse to boot (possibly due to incompatible stock kernel or that the milestone doesn't like unsigned ROMs). So far, flashing works from koush's ClockWorkMod Recovery and Open Recovery 1.14. When rebooted, the device hangs on the M Boot logo.
Downloads
PoC/RC #1: Download from my blog, Geek In The Family - 75MB.
What you can do
Pretty much this ROM is currently a playground, if you want to have a poke around, download a copy of the above versions of the ROM and extract it, and then poke around and see what makes it tick.

Space saved for future use.

Good luck man, I really hope this happens
You should check with the guys on and-developers.com, and their IRC channel #milestone-modding on Freenode for any progress on the bootloader
Hacking the bootloader is impossibile on our Milestone, the TI OMAP chipset runs in High Security mode and for switching to General Purpose mode you have to desolder and resolder the OMAP chipset on your mainboard, soldering the right pins for enabling the GP mode.
Anyway, 2ndboot can make us able to boot a different kernel (for now GSM modem is unusable, so we can't use the phone with the new?y booted kernel) and this is the way that we'll take on the Milestone for using a custom kernel.
No custom ROMs. Or at least not this way.
We'll NEVER be able to boot this ROM.

My my, that's negative. I do know about the custom kernel via kexec/2ndboot trick.
Nothing is impossible to be hacked, it's a matter of time and blood, sweat and tears. As Paul from MoDaCo stated, nothing is impenetrable.
I'll get this ROM booting, even if I have to wait a year or two before the Boot loader is hacked or a proper method is working.
Good luck to you. I commend you for your efforts.
After 1 year waiting for the bootloader to be hacked...I am slightly skeptical. However, now that the Droid X has been released to the masses with the same locked bootloader, we might get some fresh eyes to look into this matter.
I would be happy enough with a custom kernel running on 2nd boot ;-)
SenseUI Mod
Hello, You might try using the mot_boot_mode file, which is also used with the SenseUI Port for the Milestone, I guess that would make this boot too? If I'm right, this is the boot sequence:
This is what I'm talking about:
"the ramdisk is located in /system/ramdisk.tar folder, it all starts here.
the ramdisk is opened by /system/bin/mot_boot_mode."
You should download the SenseUI Mod and analyse it's way of booting.
Good luck!

the problem is not about being negative but you are facing it the wrong way .
the problem here is to hack the thing not to port an already existing mod .
Once the bootloader is bypassed they ll be hundreds of real ROMS .
Anybody can pretend at porting there own roms it is completely IRRELEVANT since it wont be possible until its hacked.
you said it 'even if I have to wait ' well there you go do like thousands of others and just wait . BUt please dont pretend at anything else , thank you .
I am actually porting the ROM to the Milestone, in case if you're concerned that I'm lying. Check my twitter for progress reports.
@Mikevhl we may have a hope if we try that! Thanks for the recommendation!
Also, kexec is working. However, instead of rebooting Android with the Droid CM6 Kernel, it just reboots the phone instead. I'm working on a possible fix for that, thank Kiljacken for compiling the kexec module.
So you're not going with that 2ndboot method?
In any case, my eyes are glued to your twitter account

It's kinda off-topic, but I just thought, why don't we go 4chan style on Motorola, and, for example, black fax local Motorola offices or something?

As I said, it IS possible to skip the BL checks, and it's fully hackable...but...I know.... you don't want to resolder your OMAP....
if this mod is "Droid" based, you need to make many modifications to the startup..
the Droid is in no way protected, where Milestone has GSM radio protected, and specific drivers required to open it, which for now only opens when using the original "init" process of a milestone.. the "init" from droid disables radio completely..
but take a look on how i got the senseui port running.. i got the froyo partly running the same way, so im sure my solution used in senseui mod will help you along to make it work...it just requires some debugging and "adb logcat" so you at least can see what happens at startup..
why not work together dexter? i think this may help out in particular cases

I never said you were lying all I said was dont pretend ' about rom ' when even a basic kernel wont run .
if you have a workin kexec would you mind sharing it ?
I'm very interested in your work since it seems that we will never see an official 2.2 from Motorola... I don't know if we are going to have the new update, here in France (2.1 update 2).
Well, I just have a question. On a french forum, someone posted a method to downgrade the ROM of the Milestone by implementing the right version of the bootloader in it, I don't know if I very clear. This member had some major problems with the 2.1 update so he decided to downgrade to 2.0.1. However he wasn't able to do it because his Milestone was using the 90.78 bootloader while the 2.0.1 rom was using the 90.73 bootloader. Eventulally, he managed to install the 2.0.1 rom on his Milestone by putting the 90.78 bootloader in the 2.0.1 rom.
So my question is : will it be possible put a bootloader in a custom rom in order to make it boot on the Milestone ?
(I would give you the link for the topic on the french forum once my account si verified)

Actually this is a wrong assumption. HS chip cannot be turned to a Generag purpose.
For those who are interested, here is kexec.
Devs should know the drill, insmod kexec.ko etc etc.
Originally made by Kiljacken (compilation, etc), shared by me.
As for the Android 2.0.1 on Boot Loader 97.73, he may have just made a custom update zip that nukes the system partition and installs 2.0.1 on the device.
Also, I updated my Boot Loader to 90.78ch, which is the XT702 Boot Loader - no bricks. Yet.
Hello! I apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge.
First of all here is my phone info
Rooted RAZR maxx hd with unlocked bootloader (XT926)
My main objective is to flash custom ROMs and see if any are better and faster than stock.
My problem is I have no idea what I'm doing. I can't seem to find any threads that are simple enough for me to understand what I need to do and in what order I need to do those things.
Supposedly I need to back up my phone which seems to be the same thing as having a recovery???
If there is a thread that simplifies backing up and using a custom recovery please post a link.
I don't understand how to back up my phone, or if I use my computer or phone to do said back up.
I don't understand how to use the app ROM manager, my phone isn't listed on it when I try to download clockworkmod. So I downloaded a file cwm.img and I don't know what the heck to do with it?
I think I have adb on my computer?
I'm so confused and there's too much information and it makes no sense to me. Can someone please help me or post links to SIMPLE walk throughs of what I need to do and tell me what order I'm supposed to do them in?
I'm sorry if you think I haven't searched because I've been searching for a long time over a few days and all I've found is information that is too complex for me.
I appreciate any help! I'm new and I don't want to hurt my phone.

Rooted RAZR maxx hd with unlocked bootloader (XT926)
Mine is a Razr HD (XT925) But it's mainly the same except roms and some tools (and probably some other things I don't know...)
My main objective is to flash custom ROMs and see if any are better and faster than stock.
Which is the idea I had a week ago
My problem is I have no idea what I'm doing.
I was exactly in the same position since this is my first smartphone ever ^^
I can't seem to find any threads that are simple enough for me to understand what I need to do and in what order I need to do those things.
Well I had to search a while cause I first of all wanted to backup the most I could before doing anything.
Supposedly I need to back up my phone which seems to be the same thing as having a recovery???
This is a good thinking But there are limitations on what you can do without making the first thing which is rooting your phone "and then unlocking it".
If there is a thread that simplifies backing up and using a custom recovery please post a link.
I don't understand how to back up my phone, or if I use my computer or phone to do said back up.
The first thing I could do, was to backup the Apps/Contacts/etc... by using some apps like : MyBackup
The thing is : these applications are limited until you are rooted, because you wont be able to save apps data like your game scores or whatever
The second way to backup, is to make an entire backup of your system and data, which can only be made after unlocking the bootloader (by installing a custom recovery).
Be careful, unlocking your bootloader will ENTIRELY WIPE the data you have so make backups BEFORE.
I don't understand how to use the app ROM manager, my phone isn't listed on it when I try to download clockworkmod. So I downloaded a file cwm.img and I don't know what the heck to do with it?
Not sure about it because I never got that app before unlocking my bootloader.
I think I have adb on my computer?
To get adb on your computer, you need Android-SDK.
I'm so confused and there's too much information and it makes no sense to me. Can someone please help me or post links to SIMPLE walk throughs of what I need to do and tell me what order I'm supposed to do them in?
If you need more infos, dont hesitate to ask me on your post Ill subscribe to it in case of
I'm sorry if you think I haven't searched because I've been searching for a long time over a few days and all I've found is information that is too complex for me.
I can understand, personnaly im working in IT and I understand how this can be a pain when you have no knowledge at all on that subject :/
I appreciate any help! I'm new and I don't want to hurt my phone.
Once again, good thinking, but even thought, going where you are going is very risked.
And I can tell...because I nearly bricked my phone...as you can see here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2631547

Use Recovery Tools from play to flash your fav img.
TWRP check my Problems post in HD gen. Pocket proof, easy
Not pocket proof:
CWMR be careful of the double touch conformation!-you can use the keys til you are versed w/ the input flukes that inspired Philz recovery. Otherwise solid & simple.
I use Philz which may support everything in Rom Manager soon.
RM works w/ Photon Q recovery works on all the msm8960 phones, xt907, 925, 926, mb886. keys only.
All recoveries
Just because you can format it, it still may not be supported in the backup or even the xml restore (/persist)
edit
Get a SANDISK 64 GB CARD, FORMAT FROM RECOVERY to default format-fat32. Then when in doubt BACKUP.
All for now
bye
No offense intended, but if it's too difficult for you, than you probably shouldn't touch the phone until you understand everything. Before you start modding, you need to know how to recover it so we don't have another brick. Once you start to understand the minor things, it will be like a light switch and the more complex things will start to make sense.

I do believe a 925 can save themselves the bother of the factory path if they do not mind it being not reversible. Yet both are irreversibly noticeable.

Sorry about that I thought XT926 were close enough from XT925 (which is the only device I own) to have the same unlocking process.
My bad ^^
well if you're already unlocked and rooted, use this
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_xt925
follow the instructions, go to the development forum, download TWRP, CWM whichever floats your boat, and just use adb and fastboot.
id reccomend a backup, nandroid, titianium, etc.

This is an excellent point. When I first got into this a couple of years ago, I soft bricked my Bionic. I was able to recover it, but I could have avoided the problem if I had read a little more first. Now I read, read, read before trying something new. I found YouTube videos very helpful when I was a noob. Rootjunky is one resource, online and on YouTube. rootjunky.com

yes i supposedly backed up with cwm, but the last time i got in that option, it did not find that backup.
at least there is a firmware superthread, but my cwm is for 4.4 only, so id have to flash another cwm to go back to stock jb
i find a titanium backup to be better, just backup my sms/calls, wifi keys, and user apps...

No offense taken! I appreciate the constructive criticism. That is why I posted this question. I am reading all I can and I won't be attempting anything more until I understand the concepts. I just didn't know where to go for a more simple explanation of these concepts since apparently I'm not as intelligent as 90% of you guys on this forum!
I have already rooted and unlocked my phone so that's a good start haha. I will now follow the advice given in this thread and hopefully learn enough to understand these more complex concepts!
I appreciate everyone's information and responses!

Hello, chaps! So, I've just got a XT925 and, basically, what I want is to get to CM11. I'm used to CM features and I'm sure this little beast runs even better on KK than it does on stock JB
I was looking for guides and stickies to read through, but there isn't much, really... Why is that? I need help rooting, unlocking the bootloader, flashing recovery and the ROM itself, but I'm far from a complete noob and the guides are enough for me, but I can't find them Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Also, I've got a couple questions about CM11 I'm planning to run the 3.0 kernel CM11 version until KK OTA shows up and I'll see where to go from there. How good is the CM11 on RAZR HD? Is there a list of known bugs? And does the HDMI port work? I find it to be a cool feature, although I don't use it often... Would be nice if it works on CM11, too. And the camera, how's it on CM11? I love the 60fps video recordings and hope that photo quality is at least the same, because it really isn't too great on stock JB :/ Using 3rd party camera apps helps to a degree...
Any help, info and answers would be greatly appreciated Thanks in advance!
Cheers

The official BL unlock is still available as far as I know, but its not available for all phones. You basically have to try it to know if it will work.
I think the official way is reversible, it has always been said motopocalypse is not. Those facts may be wrong though. There was discussion about it in one of the threads but I don't recall exactly what was stated. If you don't care about ever locking it back, it wouldn't be relevant then.
About cm, I still have my rmhd but haven't used it other than for testing since last year. So I can't provide any current help on that, sorry.

Just go to the Motorola web site and look for the unlocking program and attempt it there. Here is the link: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b
You'll have to either sign in with your Google+ ID or register an account with Motorola. It's free and then you can attempt to unlock your phone.
The XT925's are always unlockable since they are not in the US. It's Verizon that won't allow it and the XT926s are US phones.
Okay, guys, I've ran into some problems :/
Current status: bootloader loads fine, CWM (6.0.4.4, touch version) loads fine, but the system wouldn't boot after making a backup. I've tried flashing CM11 (cm-11-20140710-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960-epinter.zip which is supposedly with the 3.0 kernel) and it still will not boot. (I've wiped /system /data and /cache before flashing) All it does is sit at the "Warning bootloader unlocked" screen and it doesn't even become warm...
What I've done: basically, followed all the steps from the thread @bweN diorD posted. Rooted with MotoChopper, unlocked bl with MotoPocalypse and flashed CWM via adb. That was all fine. Then I noticed that CWM keeps disappearing, so I said yes when it asked me if I want it to remove that script from the stock ROM . It also asked "Fix root?" at the same time to which I said yes... Since then the system will not boot. Does anyone know what's gone wrong and what can I do to fix it? Is RSD the only way now?
@bweN diorD @iBolski and everybody else... pretty please :/
*EDIT* Got my stock firmware and flashed it via RSD-lite. Had to remove that check in the xml, but that was it, it has come back to life
Now what puzzles me... Why did the system die after saying yes to "remove the recovery remover script" and "fix root"? And why was CM11 dead on boot, too? Any ideas? :/
*EDIT #2* Nevermind, I'm on CM11 now Rooted again, the bl was still unlocked, installed latest PhilZ recovery and flashed CM11 straight up without even booting stock ROM after installing recovery. All is well! CM11 is so smooth on the R HD that I came a little bit. I loved my petite DEFY+ but this is freaking awesome!
glad you got it worked out
Drivers issue
Guys, I've now got a freaking drivers issue I cannot resolve... Need assistance
I am currently on CM11, on the jbbl. Last time I flashed an sbf was at the time of my previous post in this thread, so 5 months ago. Since then, I have changed my system drive (to an SSD, yay!) and lost the drivers set-up. Back then I was on Win7 x64, now I'm on Win8.1 x64.
At the moment, I cannot get ADB to work (it lists my device, but says it's offline) and cannot get RSD Lite (it's v6.1.6) to detect the phone when in fastboot. I'm attaching a screenshot of device manager's current status. The mot composite adb interface driver is fine, but the two in other devices remain question marks.
Motorola Device Manager (2.4.5) just looks for updates for my device and then quits after finding none. No matter if the phone is connected or not. Not sure if it's incompatible with win8.1 or just normal behaviour since my phone's not on the stock rom.
Does anyone know the right steps for setting up ADB and Fastboot drivers on win8.1 for our device? MTP works fine, no problems there.
*EDIT* Tried using [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer and ADB connects now, but RSD lite still doesn't detect the phone in fastboot. The device manager list looks the same... I hate driver issues >_< And just to be clear, RSD lite does not show anything while the phone is connect as MTP with debugging enabled, too.
*EDIT 2* All fine now. Just uninstalled everything and started from scratch. Drivers that come with Moto Manager are the only requirement.
AT&T locks us out, is safestrap the way in?...
Total noob here. Will be researching how safestrap works. If anyone knows where I can find out how safestrap works please share. I am also going to try see if I can enlist help from devs who got it working on sgs5 and similar devices... has anyone tried safestrap for t337a?
Any help/info is appreciated

Happy New Year !
okay, i tried faking it with safestrap and so far it's booting me to my actual recovery....which is annoying.
scouring through hashcode's stuff on git and wondering if there's enough there to put together,
i got one boot to hang and was hopeful , adb logcat showed a dead stop at unable to find /sys/class/backlight blah blah
should be interesting ! yay.... :silly:
m
okay,
i've rounded up what source i could and after overcoming a VERY silly mistake on my part,
i am now trying to stitch a build together.
What i'm not certain of is if i can test it correctly on a device that isn't locked.
When/if/when i get it working and tested as far as i can take it, i will still need testers.
I am working from the hltexx device source since my initial mod attempts seemed to grab with that safestrap version.
The problem with that mod/test seemed to be that the recovery could find /data and /cache but, not /system.
My guess is that even though i can modify the *apk's configurations and repack it, the partition scheme and/or some of
the hardware specifics [display/backlight] are hard coded/built in to this particular build/binary.
Anyway, :silly:

okay,
i've rounded up what source i could and after overcoming a VERY silly mistake on my part,
i am now trying to stitch a build together.

You know how to get ahold of me and you also know I'll test anything. I'm ready! [emoji106]
I am looking for a recovery and rom and kernel for my new device. I have only found stuff for the ls660 so far. Is there anything out there.
LG Tribute Not Dead!!

I too am diligently searching for a custom recovery and custom room for this phone. I read the other thread. (Of 284pgs) that started with the first Tribute. In the end it seemed as though they were successful somewhat with a cryanogen rom. This got me excited thinking I hadn't made a mistake purchasing this phone but I've been searching diligently for several days.......... to no avail. Please help.......I don't have enough time to become knowledgeable enough to develope my own.

Hey guys, I made this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/lg-tribute-5-boost-mobile-t3409904 for everything I could find for our device, although I had a tribute 2 I never seen any information regarding cyanogenmod because bootloader was locked. if you guys have the time and want to try we can try some development on our own. Just PM me. Im thinking about trying to port cyanogenmod to the ls675. if you know where i can get a copy of the tribute 1 or 2 cyanogenmods let me know! thanks.
Is it possible to flash a custom recovery & custom ROM even with locked bootloader? LS675 has locked bootloader so how can CM be ported?
In theory, we could port CM and flash it using FlashFire, I am not sure if anyone has tried this yet or not. It is entirely possible the phone will refuse to boot it. I am working on that now. I just need to restore my LAF partition first.
