hello
i have few questions that i couldn't find answers for , i hope you can help me
i have a little experience with rooting and flashing custom roms on the HTC G1, and i have been reading about milestone since i bought 1 and i wanna root it and install a custom rom on it ..
first of all , from my experience with the G1 , if there is a mismatch between the SPL and Radio , the cellphone will get bricked . here (for the milestone) i didn't see anyone mentioning those things .. all they say is install openRecovery and then flash etc .. so (just to make sure) isn't there any such threat as the G1's ?
another question is , as i saw in the guides , i need RSD Lite to root the milestone and then install open recovery .. when i rooted my G1 and installed a recovery i used "universal androot" and "ROM manager" from market to root and install recovery (and then continued from the recovery to flash custom rom) , is it possible to do the same for the milestone ?
last question, i live in israel , do i have to do anything special (do something with the radio or anything else) to get my milestone working properly here ?
thanks

1- There is no chance of bricking the Milestone by flashing the wrong radio.
2- You can use Universal And Root to root the Milestone, but ROM Manager WILL brick your phone.
3- What you can do is flash the 2.2 vulnerable recovery from android.doshaska.net/rootable and then put OpenRecovery on your SD Card, and root the phone via OR. After that you flash your custom ROM. I believe there is already an Israel baseband in OR, that you can use to flash in Change Baseband in OR.

Hi all, I just bought a Motorala Milestone with android 2.1 this is my firts android phone and wanna install rom CyanogenMod 6, but I don't know if Rom Manager will work fine, my phone is GSM band 850/1900.
Thanks for your help.
I don't think that rom manager will work. You need to install first the SBF vulnerable via RSD Lite, so you can activate the recovery mode. See this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932196 . That's excellent tutorial.
I successfully screwed up my Milestone with ROM Manager.
So uh... nope rom manager is a no go.
ROM manager only works with clockwordmod (or smth like that, cant remember) openrecovery!
thanks for your help all, I will follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932196
My stupid N1 updated to 2.3.4 via ota. and i lost root
If i follow the wiki, which says downgrade to 2.3.3 and then use super1 click for 2.3.3
Will i be ok?
Can some1 paste the link which has the 2.3.3 file that i can flash as passimg.zip?
I donot wanna flash something wrong and brick my phone (i live in Ind where htc service is minimal)
i have an htc slcd with 0c15 microp
how do i flash Amon_ra recovery? i have had success in flashing the clockworkmod frm Rom manager, Any merits in flashing amon_ra?
thanks guys
Ok well if you look in the wiki at the unroot/restore section then you'll find the passimg file for frg83 use that (there is none for 2.3.3) then just root with superoneclick rageagainstthecage method. The other option you have is to unlock the bootloader then fastboot flash a recovery. Now for flashing Amon RA you can do that from ROM manager as well just flash clockwork mod then reboot and you'll see that the flash alternate recovery is no longer grayed out it says Amon RA 2.2.1 just tap that and you've got Amon. Me personally I prefer Amon RA.
rooting 2.3.4
Hey bro, thanks for the advice
I actually found a GrI40 2.3.3 gingerbread stock on the xda forums, If i copy this 2 the SD card and apply as passimg.zip,will it work?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968396,
the 1st build actually says its a stock rom which i am happy to use
Also, is there an app on the market before i apply root>?
i hve about 22 apps and would ideally wanna back them up, before downgrading and flashing
can u advise?
thanks again,,,,
Ok well for the file no you can't use that you need a shipment ROM which come from leaks, the file you found will only work if you flash it from recovery if your rooted or from fastboot if your bootloader is unlocked. As far as backups go the best option without root access is mybackup pro.
And "your stupid N1" did not update itself. The phone is not stupid...
must have happened by mistake
there is no frigging way i updated 2 gingrbrd when i was happily rooted
so itsw stupid
Yes YOU did.
If it makes you feel better to blame the phone for your stupidity then so be it.
Why can't you unlock the bootloader? Why are so, many people afraid to unlock the, damn bootloader? I don't get it.... Just unlock it, flash recovery, flash su, reboot... Profit???? Done. Simple.
bootloader unlock
Babydoll
thx 4 ur advice sir !
Thats one option i have thot off , 2 unlock loader n then flash recovery
But i live in ind ,where N1 cant be serviced and unlocking bootloader
also screws it warranty
Can i dwngrade to 2.3.3 using the GRI40 2.3.3 rom which is avail on on our forums. and then root with super1click?
Once again thx 4 ur advice
Albundy 2010 -if u think ur the only intelligent guy and feel ur superior, i have not seen that kinda stupidity ,thx
I don't think that at all. Just letting you know that it's your fault the phone updated. Don't blame the "stupid" phone for your actions. Just another case of a smart phone - stupid user.
ok thanx 4 the feedback
now that u given ur stupid lecture about "stupidity", can u actually lemme no if its possible 2 downgrade with Stock GrI40 avail on our forums,
Few say its possible and few say it cant
I d like 2 dwngrade 2 use super1click on 2.3.3 which i believe is possible
Yes it is possible. You need to use the passing.zip method to go back to a froyo. You can than root/install a custom recovery from there and flash a rom.
You can also install the OTA's up until 2.3.3 Root that/install custom recovery. Then flash the update to 2.3.4 from custom recovery and without rebooting flash su to keep root.

o super!!!!!, i alrdy have the FRG33 renamed as passimg.zip on sd
But is it possible 2 go directly to GRI40 2.3.3?????[/B], which is stock gingerbrd
thats 1 doubt i hve been Having 4 a long time!!!!
whch is nippier than Froyo
I just dont want to apply 2.3.3 and then brick my device without expert advice
thx again 4 the assist
Yes!
Root FRG33, then manually apply the updates from recovery and flash the su zip over them. Do not reboot the phone, or you will lose the recovery and will have to start again...
OMG, this thread is still going?
Do yourself a big favor:
Go read Wiki, rooting guide, unlock bootloader method.
Execute fastboot oem unlock.
Then flash whatever recovery you like.
Then flash whatever ROM you like. Stock, not stock, 2.3.4, 120312.12974.0935789, whatever.
And if you're not ready for it - then go use your phone as it is, and don't think about rooting until you are. The most important part being - ready to learn to RTFM (google that, if you don't know what it is).
It's the 4th thread you open for help within less than 4 days. That clearly says something.
+1 Jack
The ONLY way to brick a nexus one is when a radio flash goes bad in recovery. Which is why I will only flash radios via fastboot. NOTHING else will do it. Except for physical issues with the phone like water or bad sectors etc.
Hi everyone, I am brand new sgs owner and first time smart phone user and I upgraded my phones firmware on kies to 2.3.3 / baseband xxjvo / build number gingerbread.xwjvh
I been talking to a few people that have got 2.3.4 and cyanogen mod 7. And I really want to get one of them because my battery life is pathetic on 2.3.3
I have an idea how to do it (I have watched alot of tutorials) but what is confusing me is all the different downloads like cwm and speed mod, kernals, ROMS. All these terms are driving me mad as I dont know if I need to flash this stuff first to upgrade the firmware.
I have been told I may or may not need to root my phone to make it all work because of the current firmware xxjvo 2.3.3?? So what do i do?
Can I just flash a new firmware on via odin? or do i need to flash diff kernals or clockwork mod or speed mod what ever they are to make it work properly.
Im sure its all easy enough once its understood but I cant find basic explanations for all these terms.
I really dont want to mess up my phone but i know I can get this done once i know how.
So could someone that knows please tell me once off, what do I have to do to upgrade from gingerbread 2.3.3 xxjvo to something better like cm7 or 2.3.4.
Do I need to root first? install CWM or speed mod or whatever.
Also what is CWM and speed mod. are the roots?
Sorry for not knowing anything as i said its my first smart phone and I want to get to know how to use it to its full extent
Will greatly appreciate any advice/ help given.
If some ones going to help me could they post the links to the downloads that i will need.
Thanks very much
1.its simple root ur fone first via odin and then flash the voodoo/fugumod lagfix(incase ur experience any lag)
2.Download Rom Mgr premium and download (cyanogen mod7 ,nightlies or watever)
3.Take a backup using Mybackuppro or titanium backup before u flash cm7
4.Go to Rom Mgr Premium and then install the rom of ur choice and also make sure u check GAPPS(if u want gmail, market an all crap)
I m a newbie 2 Galaxy S myself, but i have quite som experience on rooting other fones

Thanks for the reply but what is rom mgr? and must i pay for it if its premium
And what is the download for the correct root I have seen a thread by chainfire with hundreds of root downloads but I dont know what one to use.
Is a ROM the same thing as a firmware?

Anybody? ? Someone must be able to help me

Thank you for the reply. Is cm7 a custom Tom?
How safe is it to use a custom rom instead of a Samsung rom.
Can some one tell me is there a particular order I need to follow to upgrade my phones firmware.
Like root then something else followed by the firmware.
Could I upgrade from xxjvo without rooting?
Again sorry all the questions I feel like a dumbass.
Thanks
Double post
Again sorry for being persistent but could someone give be a step by step quire to upgrading my current firmware xxjvo 2.3.3 to something better for battery and better radio signal.
Must the phone be rooted first? Must I install anything else before or after the new firmware
Thanks
Hi, check out samfirmware.com to download stock 2.3.4
I'm on the newest jvr, and my battery is good.
It's also flash manuals there for how to use odin.
thats the safest!
If you want root permission, you can flash cfroot kernel after the rom.
Edit: i'm on the oldest 2.3.4 jvr, looks like it came a new relese today.

Is a specific ROM needed to run a different firmwares? or vice verse?
If I flashed 2.3.4 does that mean I have a new ROM or new firmware or both?
thanks
Pls do refer my previous post for upgrading to 2.3.4 GB roms (2)
2.3.4 roms are way better for battery. There are some light weight roms with excellent battery life eg SURFACE,Matrux rom, Juwe's Smart Edition(My Pick) etc
You dont need to be rooted to flash a custom rom via ODIN.
CM7 is a custom rom and I would recommend it only if you know what u r doing. Its not very advisable for a noob (imho).
There is insanity cm7 034 with gb boot loaders [ROM] insanity CM 034 [16.08.2011] - Multi DPI But its in heavy dev stage. Pls go through their thread before flashing it.

Ok, so i have this ****ty SE \ My provider's ROM.
Really bad, the phone is so slow and takes like few minute to even turn on.
can't run games and everything lags. (including the launcher)
This means i need a better ROM.
I can't Have any Kernels Other then the stock one, because i can't unlock my Boot loader because my manufacturing date is :11w31 , so i will probably brick my phone if i will try.
Meaning i need a custom ROM that works with the Stock Kernel, Us i understand the best for daily use is GingerDX, as it is fast working and has a lot of features and it's based on CM7 (which i very much love , have it on my ARC).
So my questions are:
1.My Baseband is M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015, Do i need to install any SE ROM before i Root my phone ? If yes how do i do it ?
2.What is better , CWM OR Xrecovery ? (for GingerDX) (Can you allso link me to a guide) ?
3.Do i need to install GAPPS with GingerDX ? (Couldn't find any link in the thread)
Thanks in advance.

1. No
2. Version 013 and older is installing with xrecovery and version 014 and newer is installing with CWM Recovery ( ClockworkMod Recovery for Xperia X8 )
3. No
The baseband ends with 015, so you don´t have to install any other SE ROMs.
GDX can only be installed with CWM, at least the new ones, and you won´t need the old ones.
Have a look at the X8-FAQ and/or the X8 Toolbox, as this thread provides you the easiest method to get CWM and xrecovery, so you can have both ones.
And no, they are included, but I´d suggest you to install EVERY system app you don´t need with Titanium Backup.
This app can also do much more pretty good things.
Thanks every body,
i got everything besides
"but I´d suggest you to install EVERY system app you don´t need with Titanium Backup.

?
What system apps ?
How do i install CWM ? It says in the thread
"
Installation
see attachments
- "Amend" should be flashed by xRecovery
- "Edify" should be flashed by the previous CWM recovery
"
Does it means i have to install xRecovery first? then CWM ?
