Just for future reference (to keep people from jumping on you about it), you should post questions like this in the "Q&A" forum.
I have been partial to the "Cognition" ROMs as they seem to the the safest, easiest, and have the least bugs to them. DG has done an awesome job with them.

thx.....lol...

The first thing i would do (if i were u) is to enable 3 button recovery.

ask: How To update / Flash

Hello all...
can you guys help me...
Im using Milestone [GSM]
still with original FW, Eclair 2.1 Update 1
I wanna upgrade the FW into froyo [2.2]
the question is, HOW???
thx b4 all...

Why doesn't anyone use the search function/ Google to search such an old topic :/
For Rooting and flashing vulnerable recovery:
http://androidforums.com/milestone-all-things-root/75460-milestone-2-1-update-root-guide.html
Then you can use the OpenRecovery Mod (from G.O.T) to flash 2.2.1....

OK..
Done..
Thx

IMHO this would be a good thing to put in the XDA-Developers wiki, rather than forcing newbies to search through a lot of forum threads which causes confusion. I agree that everybody should be diligent in using the search box before asking questions, but it's still not ideal. Also, sometimes things change from time to time (e.g. GOT releasing updates) and then it's even more confusing to use the forum threads as references for "how to".
I would like to work on it but am busy with a lot of other stuff at the moment...next time I install a new ROM I will try to write a step-by-step wiki article (if anyone else thinks it's a good idea?) or at least put a link in the Milestone/Droid wiki page to the relevant forum threads.

CM7

i am trying to find CM7 rom, and I cant seem to find it. Is it short for something? Anybody has a link to CM7 ROM? please post a link as I cant seem to find it. (according to resarch around, its one of the stable and fast roms)

Yes its short for CyanogenMod7, and it can be found in developement section...
My everchanging Cappy!!!!

you have a link to it? I tried searchin "CyanogenMod7" in titles, and couldn't find the thread.

Try just searching for CyanogenMod. or you could google that with the site to search just being xda. Good luck.
Never mind, saved you the trouble: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=978150

Thanks for posting link, not sure how to do that using xda app ...
My everchanging Cappy!!!!

Dude, there's a sticky at the top of this subforum for CM7. If you have this trouble finding easy stuff, you better stay away from CM7 or flashing ROMs. I see a brick in your future.

if you aren't able to find the thread on your own, I ask that you please don't install this ROM as I lack faith in your expertise to even install the ROM properly, and I'd rather not hear about how it "bricked your phone" or some other such nonsense.
(a bit pessimistic, I know, but the ROM is still pre-beta and not ready for noob consumption)

[Q] Noob trying to root then unlock

Hi i have a Galaxy mini apparently(sorry thought it was a GT-S5570) and new to the title of mini after a quite a bit of googling. Anyway i worked out how to get the 'root check ' app after reading about it and it sent a file to my gmail address but don't know where to move from here to unlock. I read so many pages my head is in a spin so would appreciate some help :0)

welcome to xda
1. 1st check if u r on froyo or GB..if not, upgrade to GB [see this general section for guide to upgrade to GB]
2. then install clockworkmod recovery [see original android development section]
3. then install any custom ROM available here...
custom roms are pre-rooted..
for all the guides = check this thread here #Season 1

OK I haven't heard of most of those things but i am guessing GB is Gingerbread as i have seen that around when googling. Is that the version of operating system? Ah i looked at the general section. The first sticky that had a guides section but wasn't sure which thing you meant sorry. Be kind to me as i am really new to Samsungs and have only modded a couple of motorolas in the last few years with lots of help from forums:angel:

before doing anything read the stickied warning thread it contains what you should never do with mini
then read the stickied reference thread

Thanks for the welcome A_U
OK will try and find the stickies and read them but it is hard as i have CFS. Reading through lots of stuff will take me ages

OK i think i read the warning thread before as it looks familiar. Lots i don't understand.
The reference thread has wayyyyy too much i don't understand.
Lemme just go one step at a time and i will get there. This is all way too new to me and i have Short Term memory loss so better to go slow....thanks :0)

just dont go directly to flashing rom
you should first understand every things
the most important things is never use rom manager (possible bricking)
you should read terminology in reference thread it will get you familiar with many android stuff
every galaxy mini's section is listed here:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1311

Yep i get you but its too much for me and i am willing to risk it....there is too much and my memory is very poor due to my medical condition. Its too much information all at once. I do better by following instructions one step at a time. I think i found the clockworkmod so trying to understand that page

do you really have short term memory or you are just kidding

We all were in the same boat as you, so don't worry if it's too much now Check the guides with patience. You're not in a hurry or anything, right?

I am on a disability pension as i have CFS/ME and short term memory is just one of the things i deal with. The condition is neurological. I shouldnt even be learning anything about computers at all and on top i am even a linux person. I do pretty well compared to others that have this but takes me a lot of effort to learn. Thanks....yeah i can't ....the guides are too many pages. If i can be given a link to get straight to it rather than pages and pages. I have to keep two browser pages open and its just not that easy. Sorry but not everyone is in the same position. I could do five things at once before this happened to me, was in a coma, had to learn how to walk/talk etc again....fighting my way back and might take 20 years...who knows. Anyway links straight to where and what. I am really good at following instructions as have been a linux person a few years now and get on the linux forums a lot...sorry i know its a lot to grapple when you might have not met someone with a neurological thing before. Sorry if i repeat myself and miss stuff out but thats all part of this 'bits missing' brain

Rooting

First of all,hi guys.I am new to rooting.I just installed the official JB update for my S Advance and there are a few bugs which I understood could be solved using that No-Frills app.Could anyone post a link or just explain the safest and easiest way to root my phone so I can use that app?
Also,if anyone got those bugs fixed otherwise,please give me other advice,the problems are:
-720p videos tend to freeze my phone
-battery drains without no apparent reason sometimes
-games sometimes work like a charm but other times they barely work,freezing and so on
-random freezes of apps that shouldn't,like text messaging or simply pressing the home key
Sorry if other threads about this already exist.I honestly tried to find some answers to my question but a lot of things around this forum are completely new to me.
Also,besides the other things,a link or explanation on how to downgrade ro 2.3 back (just in case) would be great.
Thanks in advance!
