Froyo Official in Europe - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

Are there some news about OfficialFroyo4Milestone in Europe and specifically in Italy?

They delayed it again.
The info they gave in motorola europe page in facebook said that they will put -yet again- screenshots of new features or something this week.
Also the early Q1 has been deleted from the support page and it now reads Q1 2011.

Latest news from Motorola Europe on facebook today:
Hi guys, we haven't stopped responding (...) I can confirm that we are still on track to deliver FroYo this quarter.

Even though this still doesn't say much. They could easily change their deadline again.

i'm happy that motorola is working on it AT ALL, e. g. there is no android update for the motorola flipout and other phones. they yust stay at version 2.0 or 2.1

Motorola Europe
Many of you have asked again for an update on the FroYo upgrade for Milestone, so we wanted to let you know that we have now entered the operator testing phase. We will give you more information as soon as we can.
I wonder why GOT´s leak hasn´t been updated while motorola devs work on the image ?
Fantastic news! Thank you!
Yeah...Proper Flash on the MS finally.... Hope it comes out soon
Great news...Was waiting for this for a lot of time...Now the developer can focus on the official to make the best 2.2 roms
i wonder how much they've fixed up the final kernel.
really an exciting news!!!
Hope flash video can be played properly on the final version
And the next post
Motorola Europe

thx for our devs 4 the wonderful works
cant find a way to express my,our ,er,i dont know,maybe someone may add
so when they will release this ...? we are waiting already for so long....next time I don't think I will buy again a Motorola...
Who cares about the build Motorola is giving us. We just want the kernel, kernel libs, and prop. files anyhow oh yeah and kernel sources..
Ah and ofc unlocked bootloader!!
I Don't care, as this will be my last Moto, will change to HTC/Samsung before x'mas
What I don't get is why it takes Moto so damn long to give us the exact same thing that Verizon Droid customers got in July-August!!

yeah, but it kind of is. Same software, different drivers. And the reality seems to be to me (Sorry if I'm wrong) that the software can be ported easily from one to the other, and the 2.1 drivers and bootloader just need to be updated for the 2.2 os and kernel.
Call me a conspiracy theorist - but I still think that Moto's dragging their feet because the Milestone 2 is almost exactly the same phone as the Milestone - it just has 2.2, which, conveniently Milestone owners can't upgrade to themselves.

The reason is : they want you buy a milestone 2 instead of upgrade your os.

Gingerbread for Telus Motorola Milestone coming in the Spring

Wanted to let everyone know that Telus has announced that the Milestone will be getting Gingerbread 2.3 in the Spring. Here is the article from Phandroid:
http://phandroid.com/2011/03/15/des...g-on-telus-more-androids-slated-for-upgrades/
Although I no longer have a Milestone, mine died recently and have upgraded to a Droid 2 Global, I wanted to inform ya'll about the news. Hopefully this pans out and makes the Milestone which I loved (except for the locked bootloader) even better.
This spring is going to be over!
Seems the phandroid article is misleading. Mobilesyrup (the source) never actually claims Telus is announcing a Gingerbread update for the Milestone. Instead, they just update saying that Froyo will be out "very soon".
Thats too bad. Bummer. Hopeful that article was true. Doubt Moto will release Gingerbread for Milestone. But to be honest, I loved Cyanogenmod 6 for my Milestone. It was awesome.
HTC Desire and Desire HD: both are said to be getting Gingerbread sometime this Spring

So, umm... where did you see Milestone and Gingerbread in the same sentence?
You must be training to be a modern age journalist.

It's from the article title: "Desire, Desire HD & Milestone to Get Gingerbread in Spring on Telus"
Oh, that's beautiful.
The title contradicts the article.. yep.. that's modern day journalism for ya
Moto did officially announce that the Milestone will NOT get Gingerbread...
We're coming up to the end of Q1 - Where's my 2.2 update?
@Kent
There will not be an upgrade to Gingerbread for Milestone A853.

impuscate
Prob not.
Remember they have released loads of updates in different countries already and that's what it means I think.
If it was GB they would have updated the spec and there would be much more press coverage via tech sites / their own twitter feeds etc
A V10E has been released in Hong Kong so it's still Froyo.
Ok... I am back to waiting position
very funny
I received the picture below .... 2 minutes ago ...
The problem is not that the servers... not working right now for some reason... but people at LG believe that today we are in July ...
very very funny
People from LG .... wake up! we are already in the month named August (08)
my coutry will get gb in october
in america, europe maybe september not sure about the date

LG Quick voice....

Lg introducing quick voice for almost all optimus series with an software update hope that will have ICS update for 2x and quick voice with that.....

ICS for O2x
Its already about end of Q2 and there's no sign of ICS upgrade for O2x, Quick voice is a faar call.
Anyway, it'd be cool to have assistant of our own!!
Majel is rumored to ve unveiled along with 4.1 JB in Google I/O, so we're gonna have an assistant anyway!!
lets c....but they have mentioned to provide the update so hopefully 2x will get something............
I'm more concerned about how long LG will make us wait!!
If you check out the Official Facebook Page of LGMobile, you can see people going berserk over LG's delay, most of them are O2X and G2X holders!!
I heard LG Indonesia/Singapore (forgot which 1) confirmed ICS upgrade in Q3 can can be as late as september.
JB is about to be released and we don't yet have ICS!!
Hopefully, Quick Voice will be worth waiting for!!

Can't start complaining before even trying it, can we?
On every single forum post I see announcing a new LG phone, I post that the phone will be released on GB and upgraded to ICS in 2014. Personally im never buying another LG phone so I hope they realise their strategy of not giving a **** is a bad one.

I will wait for the official siri like software from Google, it will for sure be more tested and accurate that any from samsung, LG, or other company. Much more users will use it so Google would be able to optimize it much more
Over here, the O2X is listed as to being updated in Q2 but Optimus Black in Q3. So maybe ics is coming after all.

What's your point? The P970 is a different phone and has a different ICS release date, they don't share the same ROM.
The OB has a TI OMAP 3630 chip while the 2x has a Tegra2 one - thus they need totally different drivers etc.
I'm pretty sure that we will get an ICS upgrade but I highly doubt that LG can keep the Q2 timeframe
Personally I would bet for ~November (which would be Q4, yes).
Anyways since last few days LG has stopped releasing further GB updates if they're working on ICS then its good, it will be wonderfull if LG releases ICS leaks along with most importantly ICS kernel sources.which could bring next one big missing theme HW accelaration!

Don't worry LG will release ICS update for O2X in Q4 (December) around christmas! It will be like Christmas gift for us !

Help - beginner

Hi All
I hope everyone is looking after each other. I have a G7 plus which I ordered online mid last year. I'm in Australia and I have found out the phone is from Bulgaria. Anyhow it's been a disaster. Apparently Bulgaria aren't releasing Android 10. I guess my question is how can I get it? I'm pretty tech savvy and can follow your advice. Advice which would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Trent

Hey Trent, hope you're keeping well too!
Do you know what your software channel is? It's in your phone settings.
I wouldn't dismiss not getting Android 10 just yet - I know the UK just got it a day or so ago and even myself (in Canada, Latin American version from Amazon) just got it about three weeks ago.
To answer you directly, I'm not aware of any way to force the update if the ROM is not available for your channel yet.
Motorola is notoriously slow at releasing and rolling out updates (they announced the Android 10 roll out in January and here we are in April) so hang in there - as far as I am aware all G7+ should be getting this update so give it a bit more time.

Thanks for your prompt reply. The software channel is reteu. The reason I'm concerned is I know in Australia they've had Android 10 for awhile and when I checked on the Bulgarian site it said they weren't updating the G7. I just hope if they do it works in Australia

Oh hmm.
According to reddit reteu should have gotten it:
Finally! (Moto G7 plus reteu)
I was under the impression that your physical location didn't matter, just your channel did but I could be wrong.
One thing I would be tempted to try is setting up a VPN and connecting to a server in Australia.

Whoops, yes. Lack of coffee in the morning when I wrote that!
If that's not possible to find a VPN endpoint in Bulgaria then I think any European country should do because "reteu" is "Retail Europe".
I hope it works although I'm grasping at straws here - I'm on retla ("Retail Latin America") and physically in Canada and I am pretty sure the update came out the same time for all devices on retla regardless of location.
But it doesn't hurt to try, right?

That's just bizarre. What's the address for that site? The G7 Plus is supposed to receive one major version upgrade (Android 9 to 10) and subsequent security patches for a time.
What's your exact model number? Ie. mine is XT-1965-2
What is the message when you try to check for updates?
If your software channel is RETEU you can download the official firmware from lolinet , then use the lenovo/motorola smart assistant to flash it. It will wipe your device FYI. I've personally never done it so not sure the exact steps, but it can be done.
the LMSA can be found HERE
I've also heard of people putting the firmware file on the root of an SD card, then checking for system update in settings and it can get detected as a legitimate update (as it will be, lolinet files are official firmware dumps).
Also someone else has written an update script in THIS THREAD you can try if the above does not work, however try the official moto route before resorting to that as a last resort (also should/will work however).
Hope this helps.
(also i wouldnt be concerned about it being from Bulgaria. If its a reteu xt1965-3 youll be able to flash the 10 official update)
