I have been looking for an answer to this and if it has been answered before, point me to the thread.
I'm using a Telus Milestone here in the US with ATT. I have GOT OR 2.01 loaded on my milestone and it's rooted in everything. Now the next step would be to pick a firmware for 2.2.1. However, There is nothing listed for ATT or US at all for that matter.
Should I use Telus's Firmware? And will it still work with ATT? I want to load some custom roms, but I'm a bit stuck. Thanks for any input.
You should use Telus firmware. Or any firmware you like, but flash Telus baseband on top in order to get it working on AT&T
Check in milestone Android development thread, there are few choices available (roms), pick one. There is still no official Froyo rom for Milestone though. Most of the custom roms available are nearly fully functional.

Thank you very much. I wanted to try it, but I didn't want to guess, be wrong, and be screwed. Thats all I needed!

Hi all,
I have the HTC Dream, and my carrier is Rogers (I'm in Canada). As some of you know Rogers has made it clear that they will NOT be releasing OS updates. Because of this I want to root my phone and put on a 1.6 or a 2.0 ROM.
The ROMs made by cyanogen look cool, but I would prefer to put T-Mobile's 1.6 ROM onto my phone. Is this even possible? Will Rogers identify my phone? Will my voicemail/callerID still work?
If so where can I get a copy of the T-Mobile ROM, I'm presuming they don't post it on their website...
Thanks in advance!
Mark
anybody????
Why use that one?
Use cyanogen and follow this guide.

Thats what I did on my rogers Dream
Because it seems like it would be more stable to use a stock OS. To me stability is more important than flashyness. Since absolutely no one on this forum knows if this is possible, I'm going to assume it is not
Hey guys,
I am using an unlocked att captivate on tmobile network. Does anyone know if i could flash stock tmobile rom on it without issues since they have identical hardware?. Thank you.

What do you mean Stock ROM? Are you talking about a Vanilla ROM made for the Vibrant (which there are none yet) or are you talking about the Vibrant version of Touchwiz. Either way they have different stuff that will not allow a simple load of it. There are many codes that would have to be changed to work on the Captivate. Its the firmware that will not allow it, not the hardware.
Hi all!
I have a CDMA Hero, that can run and is running Sprint branded ROMs with no issues. My service is through a regional carrier called Carolina West Wireless to make it clear, not Sprint. I've run several Sprint branded ROMs and currently have AOSP 2.3.2 without any issues with roaming or anything like that.
My question just is would the 2.42.02.10.29 radio update, as posted by theimpaler747, work for me? Reading through the threads I can't see where this has come up so I hope I'm not repeating a question.
Thanks!
I already upgraded this version radio, looks like no side effect and impact. But I don't know what improvement or bug fix for new version. BTW, I'm from China, using Carrier China Telecom.
AS long as you stick with a cdma hero radio, you can flash it fine. At one point, people here were even flashing a verizon radio from the eris, and it worked fine
Thanks for the responses, I flashed the new radio, no problem!

Hi there,
I recently purchased a verizon droid 3. I have unlocked, flashed a gsm radio via this guide, rooted, and installed safestrap on my device.
In system info, I see that I am running version 57.1.60.XT883.chinaTelecom.en.CN.
On my device, if I check for available OTA updates, I see I am able to install 60.3.25.en.CN. Should I install this?
I wish to install MavROM using the new base. Is this possible/advisable? Will I ever, in the future, regret being stuck and unable to downgrade from 60.3.250.en.CN?
I apologise if this info is already on other threads, but I have browsed around for a while now and I am confused.
Thank you lovely people!
Peace

Do not install (would likely fail verification if you tried anyway) because flashing a chinese update on a us verizon rom is bad.
Otherwise, search the forum for safesgrap 2.10 for the droid 3, install it, switch to safe mode and feel free to flash mavrom. I currently use the xt883 radio mod with mavrom 4.0 (4.5 drains battery a bit too quick and there is no difference between them except overclock scripts)
The version number you see is just aesthetic, it is being read and displayed from the build.prop, but must have it as xt883 for the radio to work.

Thanks for the info!
So should I update to .906 before flashing mavrom and the xt883 radio? I'm not sure what my current base is.

Nope, just flash aeay. Mavrom is a 906 base anyway.
Sorry for being a little late on this..

Hi all,
Im new to this website but not new to installing customs ROM's on phones. Its been a while but i did it years ago on my S3. Also, I know there are probably threads out there already for this so if this is just a redundant question please forward me to the right place b/c i haven't been able to find a clear answer on my own.
So here is my situation. I have a SM-G900A that I requested and unlock code from AT&T for and is now "unlocked" and I am running android 6.0.1. My girlfriend has a SM-G900V that is supposedly been unlocked by verizon and i moved over to my AT&T account and its working fine (with the exception of lack of LTE data). To my understanding it is not possible to flash a custom ROM on either of these if they are on anything post android 5.0 release. Is this true? I have not been able to find any custom ROM build that say they are made for these models and TWRP doesnt have a version specific to these either.
Has anyone successfully put customer ROM's/bootloaders on either of these 2 devices? I have really only used Cyanogenmod in the past and was very happy with it. But all i have seen is that people say that these 2 models are SOL if they have android v.6 on them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Check the link below, the first 4 posts or so have the information on downgrading and rooting. I don't know about the Verizon version, the AT&T version bootloader is completely locked down so we can not flash a custom recovery like twrp. Flashfire works like a charm though. The custom roms are limited and pretty much lollipop variants. There is currently no root or custom Rom for marshmallow.

flashfire gives the error "Please update SuperSU to v.2.40 or newer" which I already have. I tried the older ones 1st and it gives the same error. I am not sure what to think about it except I got it to work before with the exact same files from what I recall. is there another proceedure perhaps?
