Milestone region and update news?

Hi:
I bought my Milestone in India around August 2010.
I wanted to know when the 2.2 update will roll out for my device - I checked the Motorola Android Software Upgrade News page but couldn't find a Milestone for India in the list (guessing it's APAC then.. is it?).
Here are my device's details:
Firmware version: 2.1 update1
Firmware configuration version: GAS_EMEA_USASHLS00RTINT_P016
Baseband version: 3GSMEPU91A_U_91.07.56I
Kernel version: 2.6.29-omap1
Build number: SHOLS_U2_02.36.0
How can I find out which region my device belongs to, and how these details decide when the 2.2 build will roll out?
I would also appreciate it if someone could tell me how to find this out from the above details.
Thanks & regards!

Regarding OTA upgrade to 2.2, it will release in EU first. You can always update it manually.

you should post it in right place (Motorola Droid and Milestone General)

Thanks Silesh!
Do you suggest waiting for the OTA? What is your opinion on rooting & flashing custom ROMs to bring it to 2.2?

@sharljimhtsin Sorry, my bad

You can safely root and upgrade to a variety of custom 2.2 ROMS available. There are a few of them available like CM6, Cronos, Miui etc. I am running cronos ATM. You can get your stone back to stock anytime. Its very easy.
Though you will not get battery life as in 2.1, you will get a lot of other cool features with 2.2.
Knowing Motorola, we would be lucky if we get the froyo update in during this qtr.

Middle East & Europe supose to get thier updates by Q4 2010>
on Xmas, I read on GSMArena, that Motorola made another delay to Q1 2011.
Meaning by the end of Q4, mostly we'll have Gingerbread with the efforts of xds, GOT, Doshaka & CM.
Do not wait for it my friend, get it from here its save & awsome.

Firmware - newbie help

Hi all,
I am wondering if someone can guide me to the correct direction.
This is my phone (samsung Galaxy I9000)
Model GT-I9000
Firmware: 2.1-Update 1
Base Version: I9000 DTJG3
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected]#2
Build Number: ECLAIR. DTJG4
It is unlocked - orginally from Optus.
this phone feels very slow and not very responsive at the moment.
I am thinking of upgrading the firmware hoping that it will improve the persformance
Can someone please tell me which firmware will be best for me? I'm not going to root the phone and I am just after most effecient firmware (good wifi, GPS and signal)
I am not sure which one is most stable for my phone.
Thank you

you could flash a stock gingerbread rom.the ones with bootloaders.jvh is pretty stable.2.3.4 ones will have phone fc bug..you'll hv to root ur phone to get rid of that bug..stock roms u can dwnld from ramads thread..for gps/wifi/signal u will have to flash the appropriate modem.there was a thread comparing modems somewhere here on the forum.try searching it.if u really want near zero lags it would be best to do ext4 lagfix..but again rooting will be reqd.gb roms are fast without these but lagfix still brings noticeable change.

Thank you for the reply.
It seems that I am gonna need to do root on it.
If that is the case, It will be much appreciated if I can be pointed to the correct link (tutorial - step by step) to get this process.
After reading some of the psosts I get really confused with all the type of firmware and kernel etc...
any suggestions and links I can follow will be much a great help much appreciated
Thank you again

Read the tutorials carefully, then read them again and again until you are sure and confident. do not use if you dont feel confident.

Make sure you have the 3 button combo (recovery and download).

You should be able to update to gingerbread via Kies JVN 2.3.3 -optus

Hello, you can try JPY on 2.2.1, it's a stable firmware without the bugs of the gingerbread, if you doesn't want to root your phone.

Thanks for all the replies guys,
I just upgraded to GingerBread 2.3.3 XWjVN.
My next question is:
If I want to get rid of all those Optus rubish - Can you please tell me which firmware do I need to install?
There are so many types and I really get confused which one is going to work for me.
I have seen my friend's SI9000 very fast and snapy - is the firmware upgrade the way to do it?
Thanks again guys

[Q] how to update?

hello my friends. im new to this site
wanted to ask how do i update my samsung galaxy gt-i9000
i have the firmware 2.2 and i want to update to the latest firmware because my phone barely moves and always gets stuck. by the way im from israel
my baseband version is i9000XXJPK
kernel version 2.6.32.9
build number FROYO.JIJPA
please help me out here as quick as you can
thank you very much

Either update through Kies (official way), or use Odin (a leaked Samsung app with which you can flash your phone) and a ROM of your choice. You can find enough documentation here on how Odin works

YouTube it. Lots of nice easy guides on how to do it. You'll never go back to stock!

you can go to development section of the forum. there are lots of description about it.

[Q] help to root galaxy s i9000

hi folks ive not done a samsung phone for a while and looks harder than ever to root so if some body would be kind enough to point in the right direction on how to root my phone. details below
Model number
GT-I9000
Firmware verion
2.3.3
baseband version
I900XXJVO
KERNAL VERSION
2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL182937
[email protected] #2
build number
GINGERBREAD.XXJVO
would also like to put an up to date stable and reliable rom on it as i had an xperia and i had all sorts of problems with bugs and crash issues.
Treat me as a noob as its been some time and im back to the android world after owning a nightmare iphone that i jailbroke so know my way round phones

I'm a rookie myself, so here is what I read and it helped me with my first steps. I did follow those steps and went for Cyanogen ROM at start.
Take a look at "Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery" section. After you installed CWM, everything else is piece of cake.

Download cf-root for your phone. Cf-root is in development section. You will need the cf-root with jvo in the name. I. E. Last three characters of your build number?
Also download odin from sammobile.com. You need to register but it's free.
Once you have root and if you want cm then that will is good.
