[Q] GSM Milestone flashed with CDMA Droid 2.2... Help?

Friend of mine isn't much of a thinker... Anyway, he wanted Froyo, and for whatever reason that flashing his GSM Milestone with Verizon Droid software would work. For obvious reasons, it does not.
Is there any way to rescue his phone? It turns on, and it works, but odd things like the phone speaker won't work, etc. Just don't know if this has happened to anyone else and they could offer some advice.
Thank you.

Upgrade to Gingerbread from Froyo with rooted Atrix 4G

I just got a rooted Atrix 4G which is running 2.2.2 but I can't tell if its stock or not and I want to upgrade to Gingerbread somehow. I don't know what to do exactly in order to have it. So if some who has had the same question about this was able to upgrade to Gingerbread and could help me out that would be great. Also If i need to uproot in order to get it please help me out with that to I looked into aRoot and that seemed a little bit skeptical so just let me know via PM or the thread.

.......really? :|

for starters, go to menu>settings>about phone and see if anything there gives away the state of your rom. also, is your BL unlocked (does it show unlocked on motorola boot animation)?
If your phone has all the blur content and has certain things locked down and such then chances are its stock.
another thing to check is whether or not your system is deodexed as most custom roms are.
I don't know a foolproof way of checking myself.

Alright well I don't think my phone has a custom rom on it but here is what I have just to make sure im right. I do know my phone does not have an unlocked b.l
System Version: 4.1.83MB860.ATT.en.US
Model:MB860
Baseband: N_01.77.15P
Webtop: oshwt_u1_4.257.30
Build number: OLYFR_U4_1.8.3
Let me know if I need anything else. I would take a screenshot but the app doesn't work for some reason.

seems like stock. at any rate, the OTA image will fail to update during the version check if it's not. follow motorola's update instructions here: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page

so if I try to update it to gingerbread while my phone is rooted nothing will happen? Or should I unroot it and then update it?

890 doesnt allow me to connect to pc with the wie i have. And i cant afford to buy the moto stock wire(BILLS).

Need help please

I'm currently running theory ROM with 893, I want to update to 902 can I do that
While using theory ROM? If not what am I supposed to be running to do so? Also I deleted some bloatware I heard this might be a problem is there a way to get them back "honestly I forgot which ones they where" I been reading alot of post but I can't find any good info
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium

I've never used a rom, but my guess is you'll need to return to stock like everyone else. pick your poison and read some more.
RSD Lite method
PathSaver method
You will need to install the 4ever root patch after root, before going up.

Thanks for the help I was about to just update while on theory haha..

[Q] Does the XT860 Radio work on XT862 ?

After many months of discussions, I was wondering if anybody had ever flashed an XT860 radio on an XT862. I know people were using the XT883 to get Tmo/ATT access on their XT862, but has anybody ever tried using the XT860 radio? Some have said it's different radio hardware. I'm not 100% sure, and would like to hear from experience.
Also, if anybody needs it, the SBF for the Bell XT860 has been released so you can easily pull the radio file from there.
Please let mek now!

Bump, Anyone?

Curious about this myself. I've heard the same question asked in a couple other Droid 3 threads but it doesn't look like anyone's tried it yet.

Dunno, but with ATT having the Note (one sexy beast) why would you want a D3 on ATT?

I'm interested more for the overall engineering process for motorola. Do the different model numbers actually have different hardware on the inside? Or is it all software based?
Also, the note doesn't have a physical keyboard

I know this is an old thread but since some time has passed and more people have had time to play with using the xt883 radio on the xt862 I'm wondering if anyone has gotten around to trying the xt860 radio? I have an xt861 I'd like to put the xt883 radio on and don't really have the experience needed to try out the xt860 radio without some idea it would work but it seems to me that if this worked it would be a better solution than using the xt883 radio and having to deal with the few bugs that has then just using the xt860 radio which to my understanding is a straight gsm radio to start with. If there were a way to use the xt883 radio and maintain cdma and gsm then I could see the point but since we lose cdma anyways why not just go with the xt860 anyways? If someone wanted to provide the files and walk me through it I'd be willing to try it either on the xt861 I have or on an old xt862 if you'd rather after I get the 861 up and running on the 883 radio. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree and this has already been tried and didn't work but I haven't seen anyone state that to be the case when I went searching. Anyone have anythoughts on this?

You can always go back to original radio so there is no risk for you, maybe the latest baseband (newer than Verizon's one) from sbf.droi-developers.org the ACG OR ACG-nTelos will work fine, who knows maybe is US gsm-unlocked, just extract and flash the radio.img, no modified build.prop is neccesary
For the moment I don't have a D3 at my disposal to try the 860 radio but you can try to mount the system.img from the xt860 sbf zip file(mount -o loop) and copy the build.prop if after flashing you have unknown baseband version.

Don't flash the 860 radio on an 861/862/883 or vice versa. If you want GSM use the 883 radio, if it will let you.

The baseband on the xt861 I have is n_03.18.37P . This is different than the xt862 I'm using now and appears to be newer would this cause a problem with using the xt883 radio? If so is there a way to change the baseband on the xt861 to the same as the one on my xt862? Would using the one click unbrick found on this forum change the baseband?

It's easy to change it, you only have to write de radio partition with the radio.img file, the user data can remain intact. the ACG version number I remember that it's ending with 37 and the verizon's one is ending with 32
you have to put the phone in fastboot mode and use the moto-fastboot.exe /flash radio radio.img
all the radio.img versions can be found in the zip files from the http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ site, it takes around 5 minutes to do it, but as I said maybe you need a modified buid.prop from xt860, because for xt863 if is not modded you will have unknown version number for the baseband and no radio signal.

When I did this I didn't need to change the build prop. It work just fine for me. It worked while I was in Afghanistan and works on ATT and T-Mobile here stateside.

I appreciate the advice and I have used the 883 radio sp successfully several times but what I want to know is why can't we just use the 860 radio? Is there a hardware difference or will it just not work ith the 862 firmware? If the firmware is the problem could we just puut the entire 860 firmware on an 862/861/883 and essentially make it an 860? Have you tried this and it didn't work?

I think I read somewhere that with a foreign sim in the phone it will work on at&t and tmo and it would work in afghanistan anyways so I guess my question is were you using a sim from a carrier in afghanistan when you returned here?
