They are not the same if you checked the milestone is a GSM version of the droid, and has a locked bootloader, you can not flash these roms to your droid just like we cant flash the droid roms

Well, it's very clear that it's not a Droid (CDMA) but its cousin Milestone (GSM) phone. I've read through the whole page but cannot find a line mentioning its bootloader is unlocked like Droid(CDMA) [yes, Droid's bootloader is unlocked]. But what's mentioned in title as "Unlock Phone" is referred to "carrier unlock" which you can use with any GSM networks.
thx! i can't find unlocked droid(CDMA) anywhere .... i guess there's no unlocked version for droid right?

why not searching in eBay???
finally i think i will not be able to use droid in my country as i need gsm 900hz
Droid is CDMA so if u like the design, u can get the Milestone. Most of the Milestones are carrier free. Bootloader is locked but there're ways to install custom Roms

Nope. If you are using a Droid then you need to flash a Droid ROM. They are NOT compatible because of many different software differences.
If you can't flash the baseband for ATT, you can try and enter the APN settings manually.
Im looking to re-sbf my phone.. change the rom etc.basically take everything on it and make it different than it is now...cuz its buggy. anyway
my question is im looking for sbf's for droid 3 but alot of stuff i find is for droid x and stuff i was wondering if it matters like if it has to be for Droid 3 or Droid 2 or Droid x for it to work on Droid 3/Droid 2/ or Droid X. also do certain ROMS require certain SBF's?
Thanks!!
The DROID 3 requires a droid 3 sbf, as do all phones require sbfs for their particular model. And for the second part, there are different roms that require different base systems. They usually tell which they work with. Additionally, some of the newer versions prevent using an sbf to return to previous versions.
Just as a side note, sbf isn't actually used anymore, the files are now fxz files, but the terms sbf is still commonly used in reference to them. Both file types can be flashed in rsd lite.

It absolutely DOES matter, each phone is totally different when it comes to SBF files. DO NOT even try one not made for the Droid 3. And make sure it is the correct SBF for the right model of Droid 3 (XT860, XT862... etc).
You NEED to know the version and model you have. Settings>About Phone.
If you have the XT862 (verizon wireless model and are running 5.5.959 or 5.6.890) you will need to look here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-droid-3-fastboot-files-55959-and-56890/
If you are running the latest OTA 5.7.960, look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686911

Personally, I've found Maverick and Haters gonna Hate ROMs to be the best. They, along with others can be found here http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-3-roms/
For all flashing intents and troubleshooting purposes, is the A855 the same as the A853 or at least similar enough to use ROMs and apps intended for the A853 on the A855?

No, do not flash an A853 which is the Motorola Milestone ROM or anything else on the A855 Motrola Droid these phones are very different and you will brick your phone. Only flash Motorola Droid A855 ROM's on the Motorola Droid. Let me know if you still have questions .
I`m thinking of buying one and use it on AT&T, I know it its factory unlocked but my concern is can I flash say the Puerto Rico version firmware on to it? To get rid of the Verizon stuff along with the annoying "Non Verizon sim" message I know that will prob be there.
You need a Moto maxx then

Not what I was asking. The Droid turbo works just fine on AT&T. I was asking if flashing a different varrient on it is possible since there pretty much the same phone.
Then no, you can't flash anything on Droid turbo

Why not? I do know everything is not possible and manufacturers are different, but things are possible. The phones are basically identical

Because verizon locked the bootloader of this phone, so you are stuck with verizon firmware until someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader like they did with last year droid maxx
When a bootloader is locked, you can only flash firmwares designated for the exact phone model, even if they are almost or fully identical.
