Looking for Telus Milestone 2.0.1 Shipped ROM?

Like many people it seems, I've been having an issue with the 2.1 update in which the phone powers back on by itself after being shut down.
I want to flash the shipped 2.0.1 ROM which should eliminate the problem, but I can't find it anywhere. I've been looking here:
http://and-developers.com/motorola_milestone:sbf
But it's not listed. Can anyone tell me where to find it?

Hi actually it has never been released ,you have 2 options you can restore a nandroid back up of it or you can simply flash any other 2.1 ( I suggest 2.36) sbf file and then do the 3G hack to regain your frequencies ...

The bug is fixed in the GOT leaked Thai firmware, which has the same 3G frequencies.

Newest Telus centric GOT mod has all these bus ironed out. I am using it for few days and I am loving it!

Good to know. I'm away from home for several more days and I'd love to apply this update but I'm going to wait until I'm at the computer I usually use ADB & RSDLite on (and which also happens to have all my spare nandroid backups on it).

Z4root and super one click havent worked for me..

is there a version of this that we can apply without loosing root?
just want a stock version w/ root
I am at android version 2.2 build FRG22D rooted
and just want to get the FRG83D update
similar to what Pete does
http://www.peteralfonso.com/p/downloads.html

after looking at the update list I would only be interested in the new twitter app, new gmail app, and news/weather widget. It seems it might just be easier to find these apk's individually and install on FRG22D rather than deal with the upgrade.
Unless there's something else worthwhile in the upgrade that I'm missing...

I didn't notice anything different after upgrading.

Honestly...I still do it the old fashioned way, and it hasn't served me wrong.
Good old RSD Lite lol.

RSDLite still works.
I know that for the X, z4 still works too. I'd imagine it does the D1 too.

Nope, z4root doesn't work anymore on D1

Did you use the small FRG83D-from-FRG22D file (under the OTA section) or the full FRG83 DeOdexed?
Or is that smaller file just what Verizon sent out?

I successfully rooted my Droid1 using SuperOneClick tonight.Downloaded it from XDA tonight.It reverts back to frg83.I am a complete dummy but the instructions were simple.
Sent from my Droid using XDA App

ok, not knowing what was added in Peter's build, I used a rooted stock build posted by metiCkOne (link below) that included busybox and superuser.
I didn't even wipe data, updated on my rooted FRG22D with SPRecovery.
After that I just re-installed my preferred kernel update to get a higher overclock setting.

hi,i used the latest download from peteralfonso.com website -its for stock roms -a star is beside it to let you know its the latest version....just click on deodexed(i used this version*)-it will download to rom manager-flash using clockwork mod recovery-this worked for me -i was rooted on 2.2 before i flashed this and didn't lose root afterwards....hope i answered your question,i'm still new at using android os(coming from apple os)
ps:use your xda app on your android phone-much easier to apply downloads

To everybody trying to root just factory reset and then use a one click rooting method

No ever since i got froyo second update FRF22 i never being able to get 1 click root solution.

[OTA LEAKS] DROID 3 (XT862) 5.7.902 AND 5.7.905 Updates from QA Server

Hello!
These are updates going for DROID 3 owners on the Verizon Wireless network. The 5.7.902 and 905 update does include a kernel, BP and bootloader update.
This update is known to quite a few but was not actually released fully due to the fact that it was not rootable and cannot be FXZ flashed back to 5.6.890.
This changed on February 11, as Hashcode rose up and said using the D4 root exploit can root this update. This was correct, I have used the exploit to root the 5.7.902 update. A lot have risen to say both the 5.7.902 and 5.7.905 update are rootable using the exploit below.
Disclaimer: It is your choice to update your phone to this, not mine. If in any way do anything happen to your phone that never happened before, you are responsible. I am not responsible for anything that happens, ill effects or not, to the phone.
**OTA ROOTKEEPERS DO NOT WORK, PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION**
THERE IS NO WAY BACK TO STOCK.
AFTER SEEING REPEATED PROBLEMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU FLASH THIS UPDATE WHILE ON A STOCK 5.6.890 OR OTHER UPDATE.
DO NOT FLASH OVER AN ICS ROM OR ANY ROM. IF YOU HAVE PERFORMED THE TBH DROID 3 RADIO HACK YOU ARE RECOMMENDED TO NOT INSTALL ANY LEAKS.
5.7.902 Download Link -- http://bit.ly/zfKm6Y
5.7.905 Download Link -- http://bit.ly/y1GnCr
You may download the 5.7.902 update (223.6 MB) or you can download the 5.7.905 (224.9 MB) from above.

AmazonMP3 added as optional install for bloatware, is listed under /system/apps folder
Newer Icons for select applications
*Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is HIGHLY integrated with Google+, and the app is usually only added as a bloatware addon if the phone is being prepared to see Android 4.0. Just this means we could be one step closer to getting a official ICS update!

Ohhhh thank you for this..
my phone has run solo much better on maverick 3.0 which has the 902 system files
can't wait to see how much better it runs with the complete update
thanks again!

clarification please
I've seen this OTA update posted elsewhere a week ago. I want to try it, but don't want to get stuck again in a dead-end OTA update leak.
So just to clarify - because this leak is now root-able, this means we can fxz back to 5.6.890?

I've seen theres a 5.7.905 update out now from the Production Servers will this be available?

mavrom 3.0 already uses the files from this OTA

This wont put ya in a dead-end area of OTA updates unless the update coming in a few weeks is different.
KEEP IN MIND: The ONLY way to get back to stock 5.6.890 is to flash a rom based on 5.6.890, or 5.7.894. (Hashcode's ICS, Steel Droid 4.5, etc..)

Soak Test?

Just got an e-mail from Moto asking if I wanted to take part in software testing. Guessing this is for the JB soak test. The quiz monkey site is telling me that my MEID number is wrong (It isn't) and I remember from the ICS soak test, they'll want me to give up root. I'm already running ICS, CM JB and the Liquid Smooth JB, so they may not want me to participate.
But it's coming

I had to enter the IMEI. I went back to stock and unrooted and removed Safestrap so we'll see.

I got this as well. Same issue with entering the MEID. Said it needed to be 15 characters even though the MEID is 14. I ended up just sticking a 0 in front of it. If it WAS looking for an IMEI instead of the MEID I guess I won't be getting it. LOL I'll just have to wait for one of you helpful people to post it up here when you get it.

You really don't need to unroot as the update will overwrite it and technically remove it anyway....
You do have to be on stock recovery and have made no changes to any of the files in the /system folder.
You can be rooted, have apps frozen via Titanium Backup, etc.....the update will just unroot you and unfreeze those apps.

It's good news that the Soak Test may have started - do we know what the normal schedule is between the Soak Test starting, and the release actually happening?
Cheers,
Steve.

The Razrs had the official OTA approved within about a day or less of the soak being pushed out. Ridiculously fast.

Yeah, I remember ICS being pushed out within a week of the soak for that.

How the cuss are you running 3 ROMs? I have one installed currently (in addition to stock) and I'm getting naggy notifications about being low on volume space. All media & other crap is on my external SD.

There was an email from Moto saying they fixed the MEID bug.

while that may be true, that's not the kind of test data they are prioritizing. i for one, will be a good little test monkey. I've done backups of everything and i'm going back to 100% stock. i figure if you just want the new shinies, then wait until someone rips the OTA update and posts it. if you actually want to help test it, then you should test it under the conditions they request.

I've been in all the Droid 3 and Droid 4 SOAK test as well as most of them for the Xoom Wi-Fi.....
A rooted device will be unrooted after the SOAK (OTA) is installed. So far as well....every SOAK pushout has become the OTA pushout.
They really just want a wide diverse selection of users and device setups (rooted or not, stock, different app installs, etc...) to see how well the pushout of the update works. Reporting on issues or reporting no issues is better results for Motorola than being a stock device that gets an update they've tested in house already.
The big issue is having a stock /system as it checks for and updates, replaces or deletes specific files (name/size/signature).

Safestrap v 3.thelatest.
16 gig class 10 SD card (couldn't find a 32 gig at 3am)
Stock-ICS
Rom Slot 1-CM
Rom Slot 2- Liquid Smooth (my daily driver)
Set the partitions to 1GB and you'll have room to install them.
TBH, I'm probably going to drop ICS and CM once LS has their hands on the OTA JB.

Thanks for the reply. I must have set my partition size to something higher - time for some partition shuffling, but with JB dropping soon maybe I won't lose a lot of sleep over it... :good:

You can make a backup of the rom slot, then delete it, create a new smaller one, and restore the backup.

People have been receiving emails about the soak test and that's pretty awesome. But has the test actually started? Does anyone actually have the jelly bean update yet, or are they waiting for enough people to say yes before they start sending out the updates.
Because I'm a little surprised that no one has posted the update yet. Or can you not pull the soak test updates?

I haven't got the invite to the private forums section... so I'm guessing it hasn't yet started....

Cheesecake?
What are the chances a lone soldier has a D4 with gingerbread and can possibly try the Cheesecake method that was used to pull the ICS updates from the Motorola servers? (f that is even relevant anymore anyway)?

OTA. Coming. With root proof kernel

I was just told by a friend of mine who's father works for Samsung that the OTA coming out for our phone has a root proof kernel. He said stay away. . I don't know why Samsung would do that . I'm waiting to find out more.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using XDA

This should be no problem as you can just flash a Stock kernel. Or the newer kernels can be made to remove this likely. Either way, since we can flash kernels, we should be ok.

its true... look at the tmobile forum.. alot of members took this update and can no longer root..

Ya I don't know If it has to do with sprint. They've been talking about this for a while over in the original international s4 forum.

a permanent solution is being worked on, til its available if you want root you will have newest rom and stock kernel. thats all (until kernel source is released )

I already OTA updated. Sprint better not pull any shenanigans
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app

Just a heads up from the tmobile forum, newest firmware + stock kernel = wifi issues and app issues. newest firmware + newest kernel = no root. Obviously this is just tmobile users reporting, but I would have to think it would be similar for us. If you don't like the update, about 95% sure you can odin back to stock firmware without any issue. I personally will wait till source drops and a work around is in place.
On a brighter note, most/all people who have taken the plunge and updated, are reporting performance increases in transitions. Here's to hoping the occasional stutter/lag is gone!

I'm going to put this here as I did in the 2 other ota threads.. would someone please grab a log of the link (or grab the download prior to try to install) if they are getting propmted so we can get this to look at?
A bunch of people talking about it, no one trying to get it?
