Unfortunately, only Motorola can do this by either releasing a 2.2 update or unlocking the bootloader.
You aren't alone, a lot of people are in the same boat.
At least we have root/overclock etc!

Im OT but ..
actually it shoudl be at least we have
pseudo root ( witch basically ONLY allows us to theme and mod sytsem files) and Overclock , there is no ETC unfortunately ..
but yea cant wait to have Flash running . maybe someoen will succeed at porting a pseudo rom of froyo .. who knows ?
How about flash_for_21.apk?
I heard that someone hacked it for HTC EVO but it may not work with MS.
Anyone tried with it?

Didn't work for me, error during install. I think it only works on 2.1 running sense (but don't quote me on that).

We have full root. We dont have an unlocked bootloader.

The etc referred to the things you can do with root, overclock, apps to sd, kill processes.......

This only works for devices with Flash Lite 3.1 already installed. It replaces Flash Lite with Flash 10.1.

Htere is n o pseudo, root is root, means root privilages. Means we can do whatever we want with system folder. What we can't do is boot another kernel, so only custom roms on same kernel allowed, means no froyo for example. But someone could maky Cryogen ROM but using this kernel, that would mean quite some work.

Actually, No.
We can boot a kernel, Sort of, Inside the current kernel (Kexec)
We can't write anything past the bootloader. Nothing. We have to do everything during runtime.

flash lite, doesnt work on the milestone, its linked in by code with the HTC browser and well i manged to get the APk for flash lite or (hero flash) but it doenst actually work.
unless anyones knowlegable on how to edit the browser i cant see it being available.
but saying that it cannot be that easy, ive had dolphin HD, which states that it is very very flash friendly, and neither apk will allow the flash to work.

That's not true. It's just a placebo effect. Flash 10.1 doesn't replace anything.

Seriously? This is turning into the 'ask the same questiln without reading answers' thread.
Milestone can'T have Flash 10 because of the locked bootloader.
The download people have that works on 2.1 with Sense UI, which isn't native on milestone. Use lite.
Sent from my Milestone
Yep. I've easily installed Flash 10.1, but as already mentioned it doesn't help. The problem is that the browser itself doesn't support Flash plugin.
should i install a froyo rom before i flash cyanogenmod 7.1???
No, cm 7.1 works better when your install base is Samsung gingerbread because of the bootloaders.
P.S. you don't need to create a topic when there is already thread for Q&A regarding CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067074
okay i tried to install it on jvs 2.3.5 now the phone shows cyanogenmod icon and keeps rebooting :S
Known issue. Flash it again from recovery and it should work.
Dont forget to clear dalvik cache.

The very same thread u're referring to says one needs to running rooted Eclair/Froyo Bootloader.
My question is, Do i really need to Downgrade to Froyo if I'm already on stock Gingerbread?
and also, How would we know if Gingerbread bootloader becomes "safe" in future, if ever?

No need to downgrade, GB bootloaders are safe.
In the early(er) CM7 days Froyo bootloaders were needed for CM, for the last couple of months both bootloaders are supported, and GB bootloaders are preferred because of lower batt drain.
If needed you can always go back to Froyo bootloaders using Odinn/Heimdall.

Can't find a source stating this, but i'm running CM7 with GB Bootloaders. Only risk you were running installing CM7 on GB was that your external SD-Card wouldn't be recognized, and there was a Loadscreen glitch when the phone booted.
Those issues was fixed a couple months ago, so there is no problem flashing CM7 over GB Bootloaders.

If anyone could help that would be great. I rooted and unlocked my phone about 4 months ago so I could get cool droid a custom ics Rom. Then when I found out that the official Rom had come out for my device I decided to get that as I was having trouble with my battery life. So I restored a backup and downloaded the update. When I installed it boots into 4ext and trys to install but comes up with random code and says error in the location of update.
I am running unlocked bootloader, s-on and rooted

Gonna need to be more specific than "random code and errors" lol. What error does 4ext say when you try to install the ROM?
Also are you restoring a backup, and then trying to install the ROM? If so, don't. Do a full wipe/factory reset and format all partitions (except SD card) in 4ext before installing the ROM.
If you're trying to update via official HTC ota with a custom recovery and unlocked/s off bootloader, you can't. That's why its failing. I would suggest trying a custom Rom based on the official update

Even if you are HTCdev unlocked, because your recovery is not stock and you have unlocked your bootloader, you can't install the update. That's why its failing.
So either re lock it and return to stock to install the ota, or download a custom rom based on the update which will give you a stock experience.

Mark was right, you can't install official updates with an unlocked bootloader. If your looking for a stock experience I suggest flashing this ROM. It's Android revolution HD and it's based off the stock HTC ICS update but optimized for better performance. You'll also have to manually flash the boot.img since your S-ON. Follow the tutorial in this thread to learn how to flash the boot.img with fastboot.

No, as of the latest update 1.5, the rom does not need blackrose anymore.
Just flash the rom and flash your boot.img and you're good to go
Please correct me if I'm wrong though, I am just assuming because of the changelog

The ROM should work with revolutionary HBOOT now. Still waiting on confirmation for that though, but there's no risk to your phone the worst that could happen is the ROM won't boot.

Quattro is nearly a year old, its waaay outdated by newer roms.
If you want ICS AOSP then try Ice Cold Sandwich or Playground ICS
Or even try Codename Android which is Jellybean

The working roms are the ones that are based on ICS with or without sense.
HTC hasn't released the source code for the driver.
The desire C is retailed with ICS, as far as I know there haven't been android 2.2 Desire C's.
WiFi should be working flawlessly on your device, although you can try posting a logcat maybe some of the devs could point you to the solution.
I'll take a look at it if you are willing to post it here and see if i could figure out the problem.
Just install a custom kernel like the Prometheus in my signature. Then wifi should work with the Revolution Rom !
I'm not sure what happened with ReVolution, but I was getting "Error" in the little wifi widget persistently, and wasn't able to connect. Sorry I didn't get a logcat for it.
I ended up flashing Slim-Sense-v1, which I'm not sure is the best choice, but it seems stable for now.
Is there a good directory of these ROMS that is kept up-to-date? It seems very scattered and sparse over these forums and other sites for this phone.
Just download one click tool ( however) and put kernel in kernel folder then click boot to bootloader and click flash kernel and WiFi should work.

i sould stay with the atrix as its newer only thing the razr has is more internal storage as for the roms you can flash any of them really but i would stick with the newer roms.

Honestly, there really isn't. Each rom has its own little quirky issues.
PAC has no gps and a goofy Hangouts crash, wifi doesn't like to connect after the screen comes on (turn off then back on)
AOSPA works fine for some, not for others, no wifi for some
Slim has no gps, radio signal is bad, random wifi disconnects (fix like PAC usually, sometimes needs reboot)
CM10.1 gps...
All may have occasional lag, wifi issues, gps issues, random bluetooth issues, no camcorder, no HDR camera -- regular and panorama work
Its hit or miss at the moment. One nightly will be fine, next has crap battery, next has better battery but image banding...
None of them suck, but they might not be for you if you dislike development roms that may be incomplete or have a bug or two. Really depends if the bug is a deal breaker or not.
I still go back to clean ROM or the 4.1.2 mex jb ROM everything works and the batt life is a lot better . Also you can install cwm through ROM manager in the play store . Just use the photon q version . I have been able to flash every ROM with it . Make sure you back up b4 you start installing ROMs .
