anyway, since i am using this milestone telus in the U.S. via At&t, do you think i will lose unlock?

If it's Droid then it's for CDMA. I don't think it's a good idea to try it on Milestone.
This has been repackaged as a ROM. It will not work on the milestone, under any circumstances.
Could a moderator or the OP perhaps re-title this thread in light of the fact that the update in question will not work on a Milestone?

Question is pertaining specifically with the title. It specifically states "DROID" and the question addresses if this will somehow work due to it being signed by motorola.
Perhaps, it will be helpful if there is a developer who can torn the package not to include the radio which is the only difference of milestone to a droid.

The title of this post seems to suggest that we, the Milestone owners, can accomplish this installation and it would somehow invite us to do so.
Motorola signed the Droid firmware to run on a Droid, not a Milestone. There are additional internal hardware differences beyond the radio, and there are software differences that permeate several components of the OS.

If it were so cut and dried, we'd have custom roms by the butt load.
It isn't
I really wish people would stop assuming that life is simple because almost every other android device has custom roms...
The milestone could have custom roms right now and it wouldn't make a difference, because we couldn't load them.
Here is how to update your motorola droid to android 2.2 froyo FRF84B.

Per your request, title has now been changed.
Moved to general since it isn't related to development.
This will not work on Milestone, it is built for Droid which is CDMA. Droid and Milestone are two different devices, they require completely different ROMs. There is no Froyo ROM for Milestone out there yet, neither official nor leaked.
Please be patient.
Thanks

I am fairly certain that the CDMA "milestone" is actually the droid, while the GSM verison with the locked bootloader is GSM. The roms are quite different from both phones. If I am incorrect, please correct me. (This is from my understanding and I take no responsibility if something happens to your device). Also, you should check the model in settings and system info and see if it says milestone or not. (I'm pretty sure it would say droid if its a droid and milestone if its a milestone) Once again anyone please feel free to correct me.
Please press the thanks button if I helped!
I believe you are correct sir...its a rebranded bastard step child of a droid...it says A854 in the model settings...no milestone anywhere in system info. Yes the GSM versions are quite differnet
thanks all for feedback
please no flaming not sure if dumb question or not,,,
I have a droid 1 and understand I am in milestone forums..
My problem is i love my droid but want non aosp roms like the motoblur your guys over here have made.. im trying to ask a simple question of can i and how can i install a milestone motoblur rom on my droid? I am extremely willing to learn how to port over as i do understand that the milestones have a locked bootloader and droids do not. If ANYONE can help me with porting i have some knowledge of rom modifying but not enough to port over a gsm locked bootloader rom to a cdma unlocked bootloader phone...
Please please help and yes I understand my crap is old. I just love it and am a lil to poor to go get a new one, so its out of the question for me and i love the build of my hardened MAN-phone
HI all,
I saw this thread on the Motorola Droid Bionic - Droid Bionic Android Development thread by ax562. Its claims to be swap activation method that will work on all ICS & JB. I was wondering whether this will work on the SGN.
If any body has any suggestions pls report.
Thanks in advance.

In Intika's Rom he uses some swap mechanism. I never tried this Rom personally. Read there for more details. Not sure wether other Custom Roms use a swap - but I never read about it.

Welcome,
You should start searching Android Development section. There are plenty of tutorials, this one is good: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983516
This is the best tutorial out there (it's for cm7, but the same applies to every rom) http://www.mrmuh.com/2012/01/update-a-motorola-milestone-from-motorola-firmware-to-cyanogenmod-7/
After you've read the tutorial and prepared your phone, look arount in the milestone rom section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=670
Hint: CM7 is the fastest rom, CM9 is slower but has the advantages of the latest google apps and so on, CM10 is more recent but the slowest.
