[Q] need help from start.. - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

im not sure how to tell which recovery files i need on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932196 , i live in the usa and im usen my phone on straight talk which runs on AT&T's towers
Firmware Configuration ver:
GAS_ASIA_USAMS1FRYORTSEA_P013

don't you have the motorola droid in the usa?

I believe that Droid trademark was only licensed to Verizon. CDMA phones, which all have unlocked bootloader (A854) were also sold as Milestones by other carriers.
This subforum is dedicated to GSM version of Milestone (A853), which has locked bootloader, thus all firmwares are sort of Frankenstein with bits'n'pieces of the original firmware (stock kernels and recoveries must be used).

Would the 2.42.02.10.29 Sprint CDMA Hero Radio update work on non-Sprint networks?

Hi all!
I have a CDMA Hero, that can run and is running Sprint branded ROMs with no issues. My service is through a regional carrier called Carolina West Wireless to make it clear, not Sprint. I've run several Sprint branded ROMs and currently have AOSP 2.3.2 without any issues with roaming or anything like that.
My question just is would the 2.42.02.10.29 radio update, as posted by theimpaler747, work for me? Reading through the threads I can't see where this has come up so I hope I'm not repeating a question.
Thanks!
I already upgraded this version radio, looks like no side effect and impact. But I don't know what improvement or bug fix for new version. BTW, I'm from China, using Carrier China Telecom.
AS long as you stick with a cdma hero radio, you can flash it fine. At one point, people here were even flashing a verizon radio from the eris, and it worked fine
Thanks for the responses, I flashed the new radio, no problem!

[Q] Milestone with US ATT Custom ROM

I have been looking for an answer to this and if it has been answered before, point me to the thread.
I'm using a Telus Milestone here in the US with ATT. I have GOT OR 2.01 loaded on my milestone and it's rooted in everything. Now the next step would be to pick a firmware for 2.2.1. However, There is nothing listed for ATT or US at all for that matter.
Should I use Telus's Firmware? And will it still work with ATT? I want to load some custom roms, but I'm a bit stuck. Thanks for any input.
You should use Telus firmware. Or any firmware you like, but flash Telus baseband on top in order to get it working on AT&T
Check in milestone Android development thread, there are few choices available (roms), pick one. There is still no official Froyo rom for Milestone though. Most of the custom roms available are nearly fully functional.

Thank you very much. I wanted to try it, but I didn't want to guess, be wrong, and be screwed. Thats all I needed!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Captivate

I have a Samsung Galaxy Captivate 2.3.5 gingerbread Rooted and UNlocked. It happens I got this phone for free. I currently have phones on Open Mobile Puerto Rico. I talked and researched and I'm still a noob someone just told me to sell the phone. I keep trying and I got MCC/MNC codes and bands. I dont know if I could use this phone on a cdma network.
You can't as the phone is a GSM phone...

No GSM UMTS doesn't work with Open Mobile. (Sprint's phones might). Nothing you can do will make it run. Your in luck, Captivate sells anywhere from $130-$180 in PR use Clasificadosonline.com GL
Edit: Yes Spring phones use same freq as Open. Regardless you need Open Mobile to activate it for you.
How did you get GB 3.2.5 to root?

It's not nice to hijack other peoples threads with new, unrelated questions.
Plenty of threads on how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444382
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479932
Down and dirty:
Flash corn kernel with ODIN
Reboot to recovery
Find install root in menu
Install root
Reboot
You can then flash back to stock kernel or stay on corn

SIM Unlocked Firmware

Hi Guys I'll be getting my RAZR i soon so I wanna clear some things out if you don't mind helping a newbie
NOTE: I am experienced with root, ROM, CWM and other stuff because I am currently owning a SAMSUNG phone.
1. I'll get my phone SIM Unlocked already, if I flash other ROMs (Official and Custom), would it still accept my SIM?
2. It will come with US Firmware, if I change it to Europe or any other country will it accept my SIM?
3. Is it worth rooting? I mean going into alot of trouble for just this.
NOTES: I am living in Philippines, means no service center for Motorola, if I get bricked, then it's gonna be hard.
4. Updating the firmware on an unlocked bootloader will brick my device, does the Custom ROMs have a feature that removes the OTA Update?
5. Are there any CM 10/10.1 ROMS? Or any famous Custom ROM? If not, can you provide me the "best ROM" for Razr i? I am browsing some ROMs but I'd like to see more.
Thank you all.

[Q] Anyone Flashed ROGERS on AT&T Variant?

Has anyone flashed the Rogers stock rom on the AT&T Variant or would it work without bricking?
Reason why is im on AT&T but dont care for the AT&T Stuff like the stupid data icons I like it stock Carrier label does not bother me
With my HTC One , S4, G Pro, And G2 ive been able to do so.
I hate AT&Ts icons too. When we get a working recovery, I plan on using Zip Themer to change them to generic ones. Maybe someone has/is working on a Xposed module to do it.
