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.

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 ^_^

Thank for this tutorial.
My milestone works fine so far, but 3g mobile hotspot and wireless tether not working.
Flash on milestone is so cool

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

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?

[Guide][WindowsAndroid] Install Gapps on WindowsAndroid

Download the program from: WindowsAndroid
Run as administrator and install the program.
Install Gapps:
1. Download gapps for ICS HERE.
2. Unzip the gapps.
3. Find the system folder that was unzipped, then go into the apps folder. Copy all of the apks
4. Go to C:\SocketeQ\windowsandroid_root\system\apps
5. Paste all of the apks in that directory.
6. Restart Windowsandroid
7. Enjoy gapps.
Note: You will now be able to add a Google account and get into Google Play but there is not really anything in the Play Store at this time.
Note #2: There have been reports that, this may not work on AMD processors. Intel seem to work just fine.

Very cool. Like you say, little you can do with it so far and very regular crashes even just using Play Store and built-in apps, but definitely one to keep an eye on.

The emulator won't even start.
I get an error in the cmd window that app_process(4776) terminated abnormally.
I got some screenshots if it helps.

Are you running it as an administrator? If so try removing the program from Add or Remove programs. Then going to your C: drive and delete the file SocketeQ. Re install the program, once it is installed open WindowsAndroid first. Then close it and install the Gapps after running it one time. See if that helps anything.

Verizon Root Guide (Knox still good)

I take no credit other than compiling info and making a guide. All credit goes to http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=4911585 (br3w3r, Chainfire and Princecomsy)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-...-root-t3410403
Also credits to Mastajeff for originally making the guide for T-Mobile.
First off download these files: http://d-h.st/PK3q
Extract them to whatever folder you want, there will be 5 files in there.
Folder named: "su" contains the SuperSU and thing needed to root the phone
ADB Setup EXE called: "adb-setup-1.4.3.exe" Needed to install ADB and the Drivers
Special patched Odin that skips the SHA 225 called: Odin PrinceComsy.exe (Mainly for AT&T)
.ini file named: "Odin3.ini"
Last, file, named: "Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR", this is the engBoot for the phone.
NOTE: Some users have experienced endless boot loop; this seems to be caused by using a package disabler that disabled certain services.
If you used one and end up getting an endless boot loop try wiping the cache and factory reset the phone.
I suggest you backup your phone before doing this, just in case something happens.
Install ADB by running adb-setup-1.4.3.exe
Make sure to put your phone into downloading mode (Power off--- Hold Down arrow + Home + Power button)
Open up Odin and click AP and mount Samsung_G935x_QC_Rooted_BOOT.TAR
Once restarted put the phone into USB debugging mode (Need Developer options for this)
To get developer mode, go to "About" then tap "build number" about 6 or 7 times
Go back to settings and you should now see developer options, turn on USB debugging
Now back on your PC, Move the folder named "su" into your ADB folder (Default Path: C:\adb)
Run CMD by either Win + R and typing cmd or from the control panel.
Once CMD is open type this
Code:
cd C:\adb\su
or whatever your path to your "su" folder.
After that type root.bat
Wait for the CMD to finish and then your phone should restart
Once your phone has finally restarted you will notice that SuperSU was installed and root should be working, download root checker to find out for yourself.
If your CMD just says starting Daemon and doesn't proceed any further than that, then you forgot to make sure USB debugging was turned on.
If everything went well you will see the CMD was able to push SuperSU.
You can now install Xposed via Flashfire. Unfortunately, TWRP does not work on this method, so, DO NOT TRY, there is a chance that you can Brick your phone from doing that.
NOTE: DO NOT UPDATE THE SU BINARY!

Thanks 2swizzle for mentioning this.
If you want to fix the lag/slowness download any CPU or Kernel Editor or changer.
This one works fine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en
To fix the lag
Open up the APP
Go into the CPU settings
Set CPU Governor to ondemand
Apply on boot
Thanks to orgulloso4202 I have found a way to fix the battery drain and help with Youtube and the CPU.
L Speed seems work fine and my battery no longer drains when using the recommended Profile.

Interesting. First Sammy I've seen that Knox is intact but Samsung Pay won't work.

Got Xposed with flashfire but sadly it left me in a boot loop on the verizon logo, think I need to start over.

If we can get the bootloader unlocked it will be fun times indeed!
Going to try this soon.
Don't care if my phone blows up, it's the 4th here in the U-S-A!
Besides my trusty Nexus 6 and even Note 5 are ready for duty!
Xposed would be nice, I do miss those features.
Layer support even just to change up the statusbar.
Themes have done a nice job to blackout the device.
Root, center clock and some battery icon customizations and I'm all set for sure.
Perhaps the horrid standby time will be fixed.
Because as of late this phone has lead to high frustration to the point where I want to see how good it skips across the lake! But when I think of how much I paid for it, well I keep it in my pocket!

Xposed is working fine and you guys need to install a kennel app and change the engboot settings to ondemand, that's why it lags and slow

If you try opening the app you will get a message saying: "Access denied. Unauthorized modifications have been made to your device."
I am guessing that the app has some other type of security that checks if phone has been modded.

Anyone tried to unroot? Does Samsung Pay work if you revert NB to stock?

How do we install xposed with flashfire?

How to root umidigi plus e

1. Extract drivers and install.
2. Extract flash tool to desktop.
3. Place your trwp.img wherever you like
4. Open program folder and run program.
5. Deselect the first check box, then check the recovery box.
6. Click on the highlighted section, and navigate to wherever you put the recovery image. Then click download.
7. To flash, shut off phone. Plug into computer, hold down power, and volume up. Listen for notification sound. Once done, unplug, and do not power on.
Note: You must boot into recovery after flashing, or twrp will get overwritten if you allow phone to boot. Recovery= vol+up. Once you boot into recovery, you must swipe to allow modification to your system. Enjoy.
Also, if your using windows 10 and having driver issues, check next post.
TWRP: http://community.umidigi.com/thread-2962-1-1.html
Drivers: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByW_RMxxiz89S0xHS2pBSUVzbUk/view

SuperUser: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByW_RMxxiz89U2Iyek8tLUd0Y00/view

If your having driver issues, try this.
1. Hit Windows key + X, select device manager, keep window open.
2. Connect phone, via USB cable, and navigate to development options in your device. (Tap build #6x's )
3. Find MTP section and install every driver there, keep an eye in your task bar in your computer to know when driver are fully installed.
4. In devices manager, where you see, a exclamation click to install drivers, but choose the option to manually select, it should give you a drop list. Scroll until you see portable devices, and select.

COM port configuration for LG-Flashtool.
This setup is for LG devices, but UMIDIGI require these drivers. They may need reinstalling, so just follow the same steps as MTP, but look for port/com from the drop list.
1. Hit Windows key +X, and select device manager, keep window open.
2. You must boot into download mode. Phone must be connected. Power off, then hold power + up, and listen for notification sound and let drivers install.
3. In device manager, click LTP/COM3 and choose advanced option to change to COM41, save and exit.

Having problem with Titanium BackUp, not mounting external sdcard. Recently I decided to move the app to /system/priv-app. Now the app mounts properly. Any explorer app that gives you root access, will do the trick. Once you move, create a profile, if you have to re-root the application will detect your device from that point on, always choose to keep device's ID #, that's how Titanium identifies your device.

Xposed not working? I found a mod that will help xposed install properly. All mods are in folder.
There is no serious development for this device, so you have to tweak the hell out of this thing.
There are mods to tweak your CPU, sound. also try Substratum Theme engine, some, Lineage OS/CyanogenMod, themes have been ported over, good news for those of us who hate vanilla.
WARNING: If you try Substratum, stay away from the transparent and vanilla themes, they will break your system, if it's happened, don't panic, if you have a backup just boot into recovery and restore the system partition only. You will lose apps and settings changed after the backup, if you dont, then panic. You should always have a backup, then backup your back, and so on. Just go dark.

is it possible to unlock more radios for this device?. t-mobile spectrum

I just bought a Mi5 and it's sweet still. Goodnight umidigi, it's been really real. And just got 7.0 update and bootloader unlocked and rooted within hours, that's the kind of support that will keep a company around a long time.

Xposed not working? I found a mod that will help xposed install properly. All mods are in folder.
There is no serious development for this device, so you have to tweak the hell out of this thing.
There are mods to tweak your CPU, sound. also try Substratum Theme engine, some, Lineage OS/CyanogenMod, themes have been ported over, good news for those of us who hate vanilla.
WARNING: If you try Substratum, stay away from the transparent and vanilla themes, they will break your system, if it's happened, don't panic, if you have a backup just boot into recovery and restore the system partition only. You will lose apps and settings changed after the backup, if you dont, then panic. You should always have a backup, then backup your back, and so on. Just go dark.

Ok, I meant themes, that ran on Cyanogen. And Lineage was just me referring to the new name.

I haven't used GravityBox in a couple of years. I no longer use this device. I'm running AICP, and everything is pretty much baked in.

Try Substratum Theme Engine, some themes come with font.

Device blocks apk installations

I recently bought a cheap candy bar phone (MobiWire Sakari), for nostalgic purposes mostly, and learnt it ran a simplified version of android 4.4.2.
It meant no developer mode, no playstore and no settings past personalisation (tapping build number in the 'about' section does nothing).
It has facebook lite installed and has the option to install WhatsApp. It does this by downloading a special version off the WhatsApp website and allowing you to install it. When you try download and install other apps, it comes up with an error saying it can't be installed (I've tried many).
I understand that a lot of apps won't work, being a 2.4" keypad phone, but there are apps available to make the keypad experience more enjoyable - as you currently have to tap the keys a few times for each letter (I did say I wanted nostalgia, but T9 would be nice). Not to mention, it would simply be great to have a nostalgic experience with an up-to-date OS (at a dirt cheap price).
Anyone have any idea of how to root the device, enable app installation (the 'install from unknown sources' option is not available in the settings), or extract some of the code from the working WhatsApp apk and insert it into other apks (appologies if it doesn't work like that, I'm a noob in the developer world).
As I said, I can't enable USB debugging for any ADB installations. I can get into the factory recovery mode and can access ADB update but this doesn't help me as ADB install can't work.
Thanks for reading and any help would be great.

I am also interested in this

Can you post a screenshot of the about screen?

Probably won't work, installing other apps requires having a proper "package installer" like other android devices that can install apps. By your description, installation of apps on that device doesn't work the same as for other android devices.
You can attempt to adb sideload, if the device has a sideload option in recovery.

It has some form of package installer as it installs Whatsapp when you first turn on the device. When you try install a different apk, it seems to start the package installer but stops when it doesn't recognise the apk file. I bought another device with a different build number, enabling me to enter developer mode and installed apps using this method: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76141643&postcount=23

I can enter stock recovery, however, adb sideload is only able to install update.zip files. Or is there a method of installing apk files as well through the "apply update from ADB" method? Or is there usually another option showing to be able to adb sideload an apk file? Here is someones post showing the stock recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76105681&postcount=13
Thanks for your help.

There was no resolution in that thread at the time so I asked another question with more detail. There still is no resolution for devices which cannot access developer mode.

By the way, the device name "Sakari" might help when used in your searches.

"Sakari" does not exist in XDA as a device unfortunately.

Is this possible given my circumstances?

I didn't say to use the name Sakari to search XDA, I meant for you to use it in Google searches.
You don't have a sideload method. I doubt you'll be able install apps. The facebook lite and Whatsapp that you installed are probably built just so it could be used on that device. You'd have to try modifying other apps in the same manner that these two were modified in order for them to work on that device.
All in all, WAY more trouble than its worth. The device probably wouldn't perform well with those apps installed, even if you "could" get them to install.
