Official Froyo ready for milestone !

Motorola europe just announced the official Froyo for our milestone at facebook.
Motorola Europe
Many of you have asked again for an update on the FroYo upgrade for Milestone, so we wanted to let you know that we have now entered the operator testing phase. We will give you more information as soon as we can.
I wonder why GOT´s leak hasn´t been updated while motorola devs work on the image ?
Fantastic news! Thank you!
Yeah...Proper Flash on the MS finally.... Hope it comes out soon
Great news...Was waiting for this for a lot of time...Now the developer can focus on the official to make the best 2.2 roms
i wonder how much they've fixed up the final kernel.
really an exciting news!!!
Hope flash video can be played properly on the final version
And the next post
Motorola Europe
Good news. We can confirm that Flash will be part of the FroYo upgrade, we have now entered the operator testing phase of our FroYo testing schedule. This update is still going ahead and we will continue to keep you informed of further developments

thx for our devs 4 the wonderful works
cant find a way to express my,our ,er,i dont know,maybe someone may add
so when they will release this ...? we are waiting already for so long....next time I don't think I will buy again a Motorola...
Who cares about the build Motorola is giving us. We just want the kernel, kernel libs, and prop. files anyhow oh yeah and kernel sources..
Ah and ofc unlocked bootloader!!
I Don't care, as this will be my last Moto, will change to HTC/Samsung before x'mas
What I don't get is why it takes Moto so damn long to give us the exact same thing that Verizon Droid customers got in July-August!!

yeah, but it kind of is. Same software, different drivers. And the reality seems to be to me (Sorry if I'm wrong) that the software can be ported easily from one to the other, and the 2.1 drivers and bootloader just need to be updated for the 2.2 os and kernel.
Call me a conspiracy theorist - but I still think that Moto's dragging their feet because the Milestone 2 is almost exactly the same phone as the Milestone - it just has 2.2, which, conveniently Milestone owners can't upgrade to themselves.

WP7 Nodo Update for Tmobile HD7

Any word on when we will be getting this for us Tmobile US users. Anxiously waiting for copy/paste funcitonality. Overall i like the phone, but some very spotty reception especially with 3g data connection.
I think as far as anyone knows the update is due to start rolling out from the 8th March... but it'll be the carriers that can delay it by a week or two
Yeah, I'm waiting for the update before I decide if I'm going to keep this HD7 or not. I love the big screen and I love the OS. But this phone has some serious reception issues. My Moto Defy and even my Nokia Nuron get much better reception in both voice and data. I'm not use to so many dropped called.
I hear ya, but wouldn't that be a carrier update, not NoDo that addresses these reception issues we have. Just thinking logically here, this is a software update, not radio or kernel correct? MS can't possibly know all the issues present for each carrier or phone that needs to be addresses. Soryr coming form android so maybe my understanding is incorrect.

I'm waiting with you. So far, the same disappointment. I also noted that prices have fallen significantly and people are getting rid of them.
It seems that as soon MS will do something good is this system will fail. Even though HTC has released several new models, but with Android on board.
HTC Europe v1.30 ROM was released over in the Mozart forums and build number confirmed final NoDo.

the content of the update is necessary but the update process itself isn't because the contents of that update will be included in the NoDo update. Given the fact that the 8th was only a rumored date, I doubt its coming out today, but hey surprises are welcome!

It's my understanding that the pre-update is not necessary. What T-mobile has done was include the pre-update WITH the NoDo update; this was noted as something carriers were allowed to do.
When does this combo update come? Who the hell knows.

Microsoft themselves stated (while being scrutinized if carriers can block updates) that updates are bundled together by them (Microsoft) so that it won't have an effect on consumers who's carriers have blocked a previous update. The first update served two purposes: the first; was driver or firmware level upgrades that facilitate the upgrade process (which is why those small number of phones ended up bricking when the update went awry) the second was to see the worst case scenario that ended up happening to the Samsung phones. So to do list for initial update crossed out, time to release NoDo!
hope this helps

Can anybody confirm whether the radio & firmware updated ROM that XDA user Ansar posted over in the development section made it into the NoDo update ROM? I've heard good things about that radio update (saves battery, better signal etc.) and it'd be nice to know that we would also be receiving that updated radio and firmware.

Yes, it's cool but SamFirmware will release this ROM only if there are many downloads for the ROM I8700XXKH2...

Its not about the traffic.
Its just because we see the Wave II is hotter than the Omnia 7 this is really strange.
''playing like children'' you guys should be all happy that we release for free a OFFICIAL test rom of Mango for the Omnia 7.
Its only because one of our insiders leak something you all think we should release directly!
I can tell you this insider isn't a direct contact person of us!
Yes we have the rom and Yes we will not release till we have more downloads for a new release!
For example.
Lower sales S8530 over 1000 downloads in 36 hours. (Bada 2.0)
I8700 only 600 downloads in 36 hours. (Mango)
The sales of the Omnia 7 are higher than the Wave II.
We got this August version over 4 weeks since 2 days online now!
Be happy and stop blaming like children!

Nope we did the same by all bada 2.0 roms.
We release when we think the time is right.
We compare the Omnia 7 and Wave II because they are on the same level.
We just release I8700XXKH2 and you guys are blaming us for everything because we are not releasing I8700XXKI1
We are not a Santa or something.
Community = sharing
Who is telling you we want specially a communty we are not like XDA.
We do what we want to do if you guys don't like we don't care.
This is how we do since many years now.
Thank God there is no big use for ROMs like this on Windows Phone like there is on Android & Bada or was on Windows Mobile. There will be an official release sooner or later anyway. Thanks to Microsoft's policy. In addition it won't wipe my personal data.
Thanks anyway
Cheers
[I8700 only 600 downloads in 36 hours. (Mango)]
The reason for less downloads could be allot of people are afraid to brick their phone.

If that is your policy I, personally, will respect it.
However, for the lack of the ROM itself I would very much like to know if XXKI1 is an Engineer or Product ROM? Could you at least give us this information?
Thanks in advance.

jap, I had i9000 and use to flash it 3 times a week, some times even more, but there was odin and everything was safe, with omnia it is dangerous operation.
another point that ppl not download KH2 is the branding!! i don't want to have a software branding on my phone so i don't load KH2
KI1 instead i would download immediately and flash it
EDIT:
But well if they want to have more downloads, i will download it So all of you guys instead of writing here download re-download etc etc
AND the only thing they want more downloads is, they get money for the downloads i guess:
http://hotfile.com/affiliate.html?lang=en
I see a lot of hatin' for samfirmware and I see the rationale, but I don't think people should be calling names.
As for samfirmware, you know what'll drive more dls and revenue for your site? how 'bout releasing k1? I'm on the same boat as everyone here that doesn't want branding. The only thing that I like from official samsung firmware is hidden wifi, which I don't think I will use that much, but nice to have. I won't be holding my breath for K1 because stock MS Mango RTM is working flawlessly even on old omnia 7 drivers. And to be fair, I did download the engineer rom, just don't like the idea of wiping all my data just for hidden wifi and setting up everything again.
So how about it samfirmware? Want more traffic? I'll trade my two imaginary bandwidth children for it or I can just wait till official release through Zune which allow people to keep their data. I won't be holding my breath for K1.
There is possibility to update to KH2 via the imageupdate that was in the archive, but it doesn't work on all ROMs, just some - it depends on the CSC you used while flashing your current ROM I think.
I didn't manage to get rid of the one branded package in the update - I have both pksbuild tool and signtool, but I don't have any usable certificate to re-sign the new pks with . (And uploading just directly the .cab.pkg didn't work for me.)
(And you can flash back the original ROM or just bootloader with the patched flashing app.)

I did this and this worked for me , but you need a t-mobile de rom to do this trick.

Hi,kind regard to you.i'm a omnia 7 user from china,and there many users in our china.
it's a good news that you shared the I8700XXKH2 rom but you don't know most of us from china can't access to the website hotfile.com(because the suck GFW.china goverment block many website such us Twitter/Facebook and many Network disk).
so we can't dirctly download the firmware from the link you shared,we download it from the mirror like u.115.com,a chinese network driver.Base on this reason,i think the number of your firmware been download is not the real numerical value.And we really hope you share the new rom agian and quickly.
sorry for my poor english,i wish you can understand what i said.

SF,
I've used one of your ROM's before, to remove branding from my T-Mobile branded Omnia, and I'm very happy and gratefull.
However, I'm guessing most of us Omnia owners are not flashing/upgrading because we all are waiting for the unbranded mango ROM, not yet another NoDo or branded Mango.
Anyway, thanks for your hard work, and keep it up.
We will bring I8700XXKI1 but we don't give any details when.
Mango roms takes time!
Because many people are to dangarous we will make a online flashguide!
Firmware version I8700XXKI1 will be ponline together with some others. (Not WP)
We just want to see how HOT mango roms are.
Other thing when you guys using other download links this will blockade newer roms faster.
Why do you think we release a lot of bada 2.0 roms.
So stay tuned!

New to GT8.9...To Do & Not To Do.

Hello guys...
I'm new to this forum and new to Galaxy Tab. 8.9 and new to Android system.
The tab is at home and I didn’t even unpack it.
I'm kind of a person that likes to explore and change setting and stuff.
The first thing in my mind now is to boot the tab and update Android version, as I think it comes with 3.0 version and I guess there was an update came on after that.
But from your experience as 8.9 owners and once you were new to it.
What things should I do to it? update what? Disable what? Charging maybe? Tweak sensitivity? [if there is a feature like that!].
What not to change? not to delete? not to disable?
Any tip will be appreciated and it will definitely be new to me as a person never had an Android device and leaving iphone soon for a Samsung device
Which tab do you have?

It is Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9, Wi-Fi.
Where to start...
An OTA (Over the Air) update is a good start as 3.2 is the latest and 4.0 Ice cream sandwich is on the way.
Out of the box, the Galaxy tab is very good without customization. I'd spend my time getting used to the interface and putting my main info on Widgets and syncing everything. There is so much to customize. You will soon learn what you like and what annoys. From there, you can look at some of the things you don't like and tweak. I would leave rooting till a little later just till you get used to things and ics is coming soon. Good idea to see stock issues first but Xda is a great source of info if you want to go down that path.
Sent from my GT-P7300 using Tapatalk
1) root it (see the XDA forum, it's all perfectly explained there)
2) install cwm
3) backup stock rom
4) install Overcome, or one of the two ICS roms
5) setcpu, auto memory killer, voodoo screen utility
6) have fun

No need to be disappointed. Samsung's devs are running at full pace to roll out ICS for dozens of devices. I'm sure they're doing their best. ICS was just released a couple months ago!

I know it's not really quick and easy but don't forget manufacturers received early versions of the source around May (when it was officially announced). In all honestly I was mostly hoping for 3.2 since I've heard it helps performance but it would be really nice to get a date for ICS.
Strange. I am using a tab 8.9 wifi and I did get the 3.2 update OTA. Actually, it arrived instantly when I started using my device a few weeks ago.

Not actually strange. The US region (yes, Sammy releases ROMs in a region basis) hasn't received official 3.2 as of this day, but most of Europe has already, along with other regions (Asia for example). I really dislike how they manage updates. Thankfully we have devs on our side. I can't imagine being stuck with 3.1 firmware.

If you are asking specifically for a Samsung changelog, then no. Good luck obtaining an answer from them apart from "improves stability and performance". Problems with 3.2 are mostly user error.

I received 3.2 two days ago (as a matter of fact when I bought and started the Tab) - I'm in New York and got it OTA. You have to be registered with Samsung in order to get it.
It makes a very large difference for the better in responsiveness and scrolling.

True about being able to disable them
Thats a good feature of ICS, and probably why the android devs decided to build it into ICS
But, laginess IMO creates the impression that the phone is crap
which creates the impression that the hardware is crap
and that HTC is crap
and android is crap
And thats why people buy iphones
Same with low end phones like the OG wildfire which didn't have a GPU
They are compared to the iphone (unfairly) and people class android in general as being crappy
Thats what happens in Melbourne/Australia anyway

And @OP don't cry, we are here for you, at least you don't have to put up with optus and their mediocre network and bloatware

Cry ***** Cry!
You just had to read some threads here and so on, but instead you like to cry, you didnt?
If you really need ICS flash a ICS Rom out there.

Yup, no update in the land of Aus, makes me sad .
But im on a custom rom so im not complaining..
Does anyone know if its possible to downgrade your HBOOT to acquire S-OFF if you install the update that will be rolled out in August?
I know it is currently possible. But will it be possible with the new update?

Not possible, it will most likely have the new hboot
The tacoroot exploit used now does not work with this new hboot
Better to s off now
I'm a little intrigued as to what's happening with the Virgin AU phones. While they are run on the Optus network and they have an Optus CID (OPTUS002) they are completely unbranded and have none of the Optus software installed and do not have a sim-lock either so theoretically they should get the same 'clean' update as the European WWE release. Virgin haven't said whether any updates will be pushed by themselves so I don't know if these phones will even get an update or whether they will get it at the same time as the branded Optus units. Due to the lack of customisation on Virgin phones, it's a bit ropey having to wait until late August to receive the update (if at all). One can only hope it's because they are ironing out even more bugs for the final release.

I did ask them a few months back when I was speaking to them regarding a billing issue. They said that any updates made for their phones are available from the manufacturers websites. The person I spoke to had no knowledge of the concept of OTA updates and said I should simply check the HTC website on a regular basis.

With most of the phone people, their aim is to get you off the phone as quick as they can, and redirect your questioning
