Hello My Friends I've Heard You Are Having Troubler Installing The New Upgrade Or Understanding What Is Needed To Be Done.
Note: THIS IS A WINDOWS BASED HOW TO AND WILL WORK ON WINDOWS ONLY
Before I Start I must Say, This Is a combination of process and I have not created any of those files or own the right to them so all the links are the same links found on other posts from where i got the info, so by downloading those files you are, supporting them not me i take no credit for this work
Well Here Is the quick Easy Guide In How To Do This
-Fist we Need To Get The Tools To Perform This Operation
pulled From This Tread we need
1. Motorola Drivers For Either 32 or 64 Bits
2. RSD Lite, witch is a tool for flashing your phone.
3. The GOT Open Recovery ToolUpdate: Added Latest version from G.O.T.'S Blog
4.The Firmware Files From Got

EDIT: G.O.T. Has Added the burnerable open recovery to these sfb files so no need to flash it latter
-Now That We Have The Stuff We Need We are going to do it, fist i must say that unlike other roms that are applied by a backup restore (corect me if im whrong) this is a full flash and its going to reset everything so no apps will remain no setting will remain and is highly recommended that you uninstall every app you have, don't back them up(except for apps some apps that have a create backup file, those seem to work) just uninstall them, and when we are done have them installed again, Here Is A Tool That Will Help You Get There Faster
1.ok you have everything uninstalled right? now time for some action
2.install the proper divers (32 or 64)
3.install the RSD Lite tool
4.unzip the 2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES you downloaded and you will find a ".sbf" file
5.now connect your phone to USB cable and turn it off
6.boot it in boot-loader mode (press the D-PAD UP key while pressing the power button), some night need you to release the button after a minute, a black screen will be shown on your phone and you will see the divers being installed on your computer.
7.when drivers are done open the RSD Lite tool and your device should appear you can click on it to see details.
8.now click on the "..." buttons that are close to the start button and look for the ".sbf" file, after a couple of seconds it should be ready to start
9.press the start button and do not unplug the cable or let your computer show the screen saver or go to sleep, the posses must not be stopped while it has started .
10.when the posses is done the devise will restart and voala, you have 2.2
-As GOT stands there are some bugs on the firmware and they have developed a fix to them and get root and overclock, here is what you have to do.
1. unzip the got open recovery tool into the root of your SD card
2.check this quote
NOTE: On some devices, we have encountered that rooting directly after flashing without rebooting after the initial flash can bring some issues with RootExplorer not asking for root permissions. To be safe, reboot after flash so that the “welcome to milestone” menu comes up, set up the device in general, then reboot to recovery and root the device as well as apply our 2.2.1 tweaks with Launcher, Services.jar fix and Wireless Tethering app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this means if the fist time your milestone got restarted and you saw "Welcome to Milestone" Message You are good an you can root.
but if you didn't then restart you phone and see if the message comes out, if not , a factory reset should have that scree message shown.
3. open the open recovery by pressing camera and power button at the same time while the device id off. you should see a scree with a "!" symbol on it then press fist volume rocker up button a leave it pressed then press camera button, some letter will pop out.
4. using the pad scroll down to "apply update.zip", after a couple of seconds the GOT menu should pop out (everything from now on uses the pad)
5.root your phone (why not)
6.go down to "Launch 2.2.1 Menu" Option.
7.Here you will see the "Fix Bugs They Are Talking About
One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file.
This tweak will fix some of the issues with the generic sbf build such as dual USB notifications, replacing some stock Motorola applications such as the old launcher/mediagallery and adding the Wireless Tethering application.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. there is the overclock too.
Now your device should have all the things you need to start playing with it,I encourage you to check on some tweaks the GOT team might have, and you might want.
I Hope This Was Helpful enjoy ^_^

something i don't get
I updated the firmware with RSD Lite, and used the one click tool, because:
whenever i try to hit update.zip i will get an errormessage, stating that these blocks couldn't be found -> ergo, the card not be mounted.
The HTC stuff i always managed, but this one is a mistery to me. Also, i did format fat32, pushed the stuff and then straight on bootup trying to hit the update.zip, without success.
I've read about how other people solved that problem, none of those approaches helped me.
Any hint is more than welcome.
2 bugs i've discovered so far: Battery drain like almost to be declared useless, some market apps "vanish" after installing them. I suppose those fixes would have done the job. I might attempt to use root explorer and execute the scripts like that, still I'd like to know why I'm unable to get the update.zip, resp. the G.O.T or any other "intelligent" boot menu installed.
Edit2: Even when installing the vulnerable sbf, i still get the error: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ....

This could be for any reason try this
-Re download and re flash the files(do the whole thing again)
-there is an app i have called sd dual mount that makes my screen go crazy wen i connect the phone to an usb port, it was stable on 2.1 but now goes crazy on 2.2 check some of your apps to ensure they are not the ones responsible for this

have you tried re downloading the files and doing all over again?, it could be a broken file

Root phone from the GOT OR menu doesn't seem to actually root my phone (2.2.1 UK version)
Superuser whitelist app FCs instead of prompting to allow access. Have tried using Better Terminal for root access & also Wireless Tether app.
Anyone else getting this? Any ideas? Do any of the 1-click root apps still work with this build of Froyo? Which can we use?

i can confirm this. Simply trying it a second time worked for me
I'd like to add something for Linux users:
Using a virtual machine (virtualizing WinXP) that has USB support (eg Oracle VM VirtuaBox, since VirtualBox OSE does not support USB forwarding) can do this pretty easy. So no worries when trying this via a VM.
i try to instal GOT and its succesfull.
but why i install the application not bring to SD card
but still bring to internal memory
many said 2.2 automatic have app2sd
can you help me?

ICS WIFI problems? Running InsertCoin 4.0.8, 0 wifi problems, always maxed out connection (with like 4 concrete walls between me and the router)
Let me explain. In ics. If u have a none EN or US sim card
Wifi will be disabled upon booting android ..to fix this we add EN as alocal location for sim card. And it fixed the problem.

Did you restart the phone? after a reboot, turn off wifi then on. Should work.
Also, there is now Wifix made by fardjad that makes it even easier.

Hello together,
i tryed without success to get iGO started on my htc one S. The last weeks i read a lot of howtos and information
but i was not able to fix the problem. As i know i have to install it on the internal sdcard and put all
program files and folders also into a folder in the root directory on the sdcard called "iGo".
When try to start the app iGO it just says "iGO is loading" and a black screen is shown.
It look like the app is running but it shows only a black screen.
Maybe the "sys" file has the wrong solution setting and it cant show the gui?
Thanks for any help!
Read this somewhere - you need to edit the sys.txt on the phone (/data/data/com.navngo.javaclient/...) and this requires root.
The following settings are working fine, nothing else needs to be changed - just pick the one which suits you.
- notification bar still visible
[rawdisplay]
driver=engine
screen_x=896
screen_y=504
screen_x2=540
screen_y2=856
screen_xy="960_540:896x504/540x856"
- notification bar obscured (full screen for IGO)
[rawdisplay]
driver=engine
screen_x=888
screen_y=540
screen_x2=540
screen_y2=896
screen_xy="800_480:888x540/540x896:fullscreen"

Hi, yes it can be fixed the voice issue. First of all, have you used my kit? Or another? Second, what voice do you want to use?
About the small part of the screen, after 1st start won't appear that anymore. If it still does probably you're not using my kit, or, you can change the sys.txt values.

Mate, the kit doesn't have any problem . You've messed up something over there.
- First of all, you are trying to use igo with sdcard mounted on PC? (Igo search the sdcard, and if it's mounted it won't work)
- Please be SURE that igo folder is on the root of sdcard memory and not duplicated (igo/igo/content - it should be only igo/content)
- Please be SURE that you didn't changed the sys.txt file; if you did, please send me what you've modified to see what's happenin';
- the maps, speedcams, and so on has nothing to do with the contents; that error appears because igo search the igo/content folder and cannot find it (the path that it's looking for is: sdcard/igo/content and you probably have sdcard/igo/igo/content)

Thanks for the fast reply. The folder is not nested /IGO/IGO but is with different name than just IGO. I'll try the rename in the evening when I have the phone and see if it works.

Tried rebooting with GPS on, rebooting, shutting down the phone and start again. Same problem.
Are there any known issues or possible fixes for this?
Thanks!

You'll need to provide logs, I'm afraid. Open a terminal on your phone, su to get root, and then execute "logcat > /sdcard/gps-logcat.txt", without the quotes. Then start your GPS app, but keep the terminal running in the background. When you're done, pull the /sdcard/gps-logcat.txt file and upload it somewhere.
Hi
Thank you for your reply. I used GPS Status for this example. But the problem exists with all GPS related applications (ie. OSMAnd)
I attached the logcat to this posting.

Uh, your logcat runs for less than half a minute and has no errors or warnings in it. You'll have to redo it, preferrably from a fresh boot.
As soon as the phone is up, do the procedure I wrote above, and then go about testing GPS. Let the logcat run in the background.
Hi
Ok, here it is. Recorded after a reboot and switching on the app GPS Status.
Thanks for your help!

Show me a screenshot of your location settings. By the way, if you reply to my post instead of hitting 'post reply', I get a notification.

I wonder why there are no recent requests for Location. Can you back up your data and try with a clean install? Also, post a play store link to the app you were using to test.

And this is the app I used:

But the same problem exists with other GPS apps (ie. OSMand)
Thanks for your help!

So, here are the results. Cleaned Data/System/Cache/Dalvik and installed a fresh nightly (cm-11-20140513-NIGHTLY-m4) and the GPS Status app.
Result: Exactly the same :-/
After that I thought maybe my device has a broken HW, you never know. But after I restored the Stock ROM and installed GPS Status, I had a GPS fix within some seconds under open sky.. See screenshot (taken after being indoor again)
Now since I knew that the GPS just worked, I tried again with CM11 nightly (same as above). Cleaned everything again, installed it and the GPS Status app but, I guess you know what happened - No working GPS again
I restored my saved before nandroid again and would be very glad if you could lead me in a direction what I could do to get the GPS working with CM11.
Thanks alot!

Hi
Me again. Now totally confused.. Don't ask me why,but like magic, the GPS started working some minutes ago with CM11!
I changed nothing compared to earlier, but for some reason the satellite count was now 0/22 (0/0 before) and as I went outside I had a fix within some seconds.

Mine was fixed by enable/disable wifi tathering
I have no idea why.
(I saw this trick in some Lenove-mobile forum)
[edit]
it was fixed and it doesn't any more..
Important. Root required.....
Hey everyone,I saw so many posts regarding Android & iOS that the Mac address is changing to 02:00:00:00:00 and WiFi is greyed out. None of the WiFi or hotspot not turning on.I get the same problem in my Condor and I searched a lot for the solution.I go for factory reset, full reset, flashing stock, radio etc.... But nothing helped. Some strange solution was to hit the back of the phone, put it in the freezer etc...I tried many other ways and that worked only was putting a file named
WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin
In to the folder / persist....... But it worked me for exactly 1 day and the problem still continued.
So I tried a new method which helped me a lot........
Steps
1.Take a back up of folders /persist and/data/misc/WiFi
2. Unzip the below attachment and put the file WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin
To /Persist folder.
3.[important step].use any file manager to give full permission to the file(Use ES file explorer, I used solid explorer that provides more permission, if ES doesn't work use Solid explorer)..
4. Restart the phone
5. Now your WiFi will be back to rock............
If doesn't work try clearing the folder /data/misc/WiFi/wpa supplicant... And /persist....
If any thing goes wrong use back up's......
Don't forget to hit thanks if it worked......and don't blame me if it doesn't worked....

Well this fix won't work for any device. You should probably have put this in the relevant section i think

Not working for xiaomi mi 8
hey guys
I have a xiaomi mi 8 global.
after the new miui update to 10.0.2.2 my GPS became really buggy so I rooted my phone and downgraded to miui 10.0.2.0 and that fixed my GPS issue. but just yesterday my wifi switched off and no matter how much I toggle it on it always turns back off. so I did some research and found out that other people have the same issue with other phones. apparently there is a file called WCNSS_qcom_wlan_factory_nv.bin in a folder called persist that for some reason gets deleted and doesn't come back even if you factory reset. I tried twrp restore with no luck. so I downloaded the file like suggested and placed it in the persist folder but still no luck for me where as on other phones it would work.
so my question is. I know xiaomi files and in different places then other Androids and sometimes even the names are different. where should I put the file in xiaomi mi 8 and should I rename it to something else. or what should I do
