ROM Manager does NOT work on Milestone. You need to flash the 2.2 Vulnerable Recovery from android.doshaska.net/rootable and then place OpenRecovery on the SD Card, root the phone from OR, and flash your custom ROM that way.
What errors are you getting from OR?

I am getting this error when I am trying to apply the update.zip:
Code:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Also cant figure out why I am getting "H", instead of 3G. I see two versions of sbf (regular & service version). I used the regular 2.1, was that right?
Thanks
Heeter

If you are looking only to root your phone, you dont need OR.
Universal androot and z4root, both work to root your phone.
Difference between service & non-service edition is that non-service wipes your phone completely, while service does not.

I z4root'ed it already.
I am trying to install a custom Recovery & ROM.
I am trying to get it past 2.1update1.
Thanks

There is a 2.2.1 official update which you can get from the link below.
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone221
If you are looking at flashing custom roms, just install got 2.2.1 which has vulnerable recovery included. Then download FuFu OR which has more options to AOR 3.3, extract to sdcard, place your custom rom zip file in openrecovery/updates folder.
Reboot to recovery. Choose apply sdcard update.zip and your OR should boot up. Choose apply update option to flash your custom rom.
Note that ROM Manager and CWM do not work on the milestone.

Get your correct apn settings. skadude should be able you provide you correct settings.
Or try flashing telus baseband using OR.

[GUIDE] How To Fix GPS Issues On CM7

Sup People.
I recently noticed that my GPS wasnt working on CM 7.1.0.1. After searching this forum I found that quite a few people were also having the same issues so i've decided to compile this guide (all credits to OP's, i'm just putting this info in one place)...
theres not much to it to be honest, its just the information on the issue is just scattered around - plus there are probably better and more complete guides out there
Firstly, Originally Posted by bharat_xda19

First install cm7 and then make a nandroid backup of it. Then wipe everything and restore the previous nandroid backup of stock froyo rom (or any rom with working gps) and use gps to capture your location. Then again wipe everything and restore the cm7 backup. Now gps will be working. And once gps on cm7 works, then even after a hard reset it still works. This seems to be an issue only when freshly installing cm7. This is definitely a safe method.

The next procedures are really for advanced users only...or if you know what you are doing if you dont understand anything in this next part I would do a little reading on the topic first

-- The following will only work with Clockworkmod 2.5.x.
1. To get Clockworkmod 2.x when you have a newer version, flash the 'update1.zip' in the attachments
2. If you have ROM Manager, use the 'select older cwm' at the bottom of the list to select 2.5.0.7
-- Make sure you have sufficient battery charge and do not interrupt the flashing process.

Download radio zip above [19.25 or 20.10 as you probably have 15.31]
Put Radio .zip on root of SD card i.e not in any folders
Start ROM Manager
(ensure you have CWM 2.x.x.x)
Click Reboot into Recovery
Flash .zip from here by going to install zip from SD card
Don't forget to wipe caches first
Reboot phone by using the "reboot" option in cwm NOT by removing the battery

The process will take about 10 mins so be patient
Make sure you have sufficient battery charge and do not interrupt the flashing process.
I used the 3xeno and nejc121 method's above. Downgraded my CWM (which is only temporary if selecting through ROM manager) then flashed the 20.10 radio. 3xeno recomends flashing the 19.25 radio first to see if that works but i went straight for the 20.10 = WORKING GPS
!!!DISCLAIMER!!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO TO YOUR PHONE. IT IS YOUR DECISION TO GO AHEAD WITH THESE MODS SO ONLY YOU CAN BE BLAMED FOR YOUR ACTIONS
p.s. if followed correctly, you shouldn't go wrong

In simple terms.
1.gain temp 2.5.0.7 cwm via Rom manager or temp update zip if your on a newer version already.
2. Flash 19.25 or/and 20.10 radio.
3. Reboot.
I have NEVER wiped anything to flash a radio as it has no influence over caches whatsoever.!!!!
Whenever I had gps issues I just flashed the 19.25 radio then test gps. Then re flash 20.10 radio. Never failed me yet. Lol.

Try using an app that triggers gps like gps test from the market. It worked 99% of the cases for me.

How Do I Install MIUI on Motorola Milestone A853?

Can someone please explain how to install it?
I'm trying to go from CM7 to MIUI 2.2.10

Same procedure as flashing any ROM.
Wipe everything, apply update.zip, done.

I did that, I wiped the Cache Partition and Davlik. (After I did a backup)
Then I installed the ROM from the US MIUI site. When I boot it up it boots into BootLoader. -____-

you select the right rom for your device?
otherway just test the MIUI KoStoM Edition, its a moddet MIUI from Germany but also include English and some tweaks, also working apps2ext is includet and for me its a nice and smooth rom
you can download latest version here: http://www.android-files.de/build/indexrom2.php
the site is german, but i think with google translate you will understand whats to do
after downlaod just flash in OpenRecovery and make a factory reset (wipe data and cache)

'Everything' includes the data partition (Factory Reset) and ext partition (if existent)
Are you sure you picked a Milestone ROM?
I only see Droids here: http://roms.miui.us/

I thought that the Droid was the Milestone A853...they look the same.

The A853 is GSM and the A855 is CDMA.

Oh okay thank you for clarifying that. I'm new to the whole ROM thing. I just started this whole process a week ago. But I make sure to try to do my research.

if u want MIUI on milestone go here: http://miuiandroid.com/community/threads/archived-miui-versions-milestone-gb.16556/
it's the UK version. But your hardware keyboard layout maybe be wrong when using this rom.
Also, i think the US miui stopped making miui for milestone.

Tomorrow I want to sell the phone to a friend so I thought I'll do a factory reset to erase the data on the phone (my phone is rooted). I did the reset from the menu after wiping the sd card and now my phone only boots in CWM Recovery. I tried flashing custom roms but it only enters CWM when I reboot the phone. Any help is greatly appreciated!

That sounds easy enough, I just have one question: Will any stock rom work or do I have to find a specific one form my carrier and device?
Also , could you point me in the right direction to find a stock rom?

Sure! Do you have a S6500 or a S6500D? If you need to find a stock, just go here and download whatever you need (it has the tools you need in there): http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3 Just select your device, log in, and then you'll be able to download it. Extract it to your desktop and follow the instructions you can find in this forum!

Thank you again, you helped me very much!
I'll try to flash it and report back after.

I flashed the software back and now it's like brand new!
Thanks for the tremendous help!

How about a quick "how-to" for the rest of us. TWRP, root etc. if used, or at least how you went about flashing the stock ?

according to a search in Google its not possible to be retail and have a demo because its 2 different ROMS.
you can use TWRP to wipe everything Data, Dalvik and System.
Then use the backup.
This are tips so please use at your own risk.

dont know what to say to that, however, you can try this:
http://repo.xposed.info/
install framework (use flash mode) and look for module BootManager. You can choose witch apps will run at system start. Disable demo app.
Make sure you follow all instructions and good luck.
let us know how it goes.
