They are not the same if you checked the milestone is a GSM version of the droid, and has a locked bootloader, you can not flash these roms to your droid just like we cant flash the droid roms

Will it be possible to flash XT862 to XT860?

Now that I've seen users flashing the XT883 ROM including radio (?), would it be possible in the future to make any XT862 a XT860? (since they have the same hardware..)
Thanks

As long as there is no SBF of an XT860, we can never know. We could be optimistic though... Maybe.

Okai but if the hardware is the same, why wouldn't it be possible?

For now is not possible, a post on a chinese forum gave some hopes about that.
Was written about an Xt883 (droid) transformed in me863 (milestone).
I looked in to it and I believe it's a fake.
The method posted doesn't work and doesn't can.
The ME863 rom is available and flashable on XT860, but not on XT862 or XT883.
BTW, i believe this is a purposed limitation due to some signatures and not an impossible task due to HW differences.

For the moment it's all still a bit unclear but good news we could maybe flash roms on the XT860 at a certain moment.
XT860 is a bit left behind . Bell needs to update their device and we can start doing stuff I guess.

GSM/UMTS update question

Hi there,
I recently purchased a verizon droid 3. I have unlocked, flashed a gsm radio via this guide, rooted, and installed safestrap on my device.
In system info, I see that I am running version 57.1.60.XT883.chinaTelecom.en.CN.
On my device, if I check for available OTA updates, I see I am able to install 60.3.25.en.CN. Should I install this?
I wish to install MavROM using the new base. Is this possible/advisable? Will I ever, in the future, regret being stuck and unable to downgrade from 60.3.250.en.CN?
I apologise if this info is already on other threads, but I have browsed around for a while now and I am confused.
Thank you lovely people!
Peace

Do not install (would likely fail verification if you tried anyway) because flashing a chinese update on a us verizon rom is bad.
Otherwise, search the forum for safesgrap 2.10 for the droid 3, install it, switch to safe mode and feel free to flash mavrom. I currently use the xt883 radio mod with mavrom 4.0 (4.5 drains battery a bit too quick and there is no difference between them except overclock scripts)
The version number you see is just aesthetic, it is being read and displayed from the build.prop, but must have it as xt883 for the radio to work.

Thanks for the info!
So should I update to .906 before flashing mavrom and the xt883 radio? I'm not sure what my current base is.

Nope, just flash aeay. Mavrom is a 906 base anyway.

Sorry for being a little late on this..

[Q] Vetting stock firmware

Where do you guys get your stock firmware from? Reverting to Stock in ios was a non-issue as Apple is always happy to get you back in its walled garden. With Android it seems a little harder and I can't seem to find official (signed) Motorola stock firmware. Furthermore, updating using the Motorola OTA service won't work until I reflash stock recovery. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Thanks

Thanks

no motorola does not publish these files except a few DEV files for Moto X
these are all leaked , but i have downloaded several and made Easy Installer(s) for them
see my signature - if your boot loader is unlocked you can flash these (i.e downgrade) upgrades can be done locked - I only have .14 DE available ( now making a .23) but its a 2hr download
heres your full firmware - sorry its a SLOW download - not under my control

ALL MOTO G LEAKED FIRMWARE (1st gen , 2nd gen and 3rd gen) Select correct XTxxxx model

Thanks. Yeah I couldn't find any official files or even a md5 /sh1 signature. That would be enough to authenticate the validity of the images. Motorola's website has a few images for Droid and X models as you mentioned but none for the G.
Back in my ios days I felt comfortable installing firmware originating from a few select groups of developers who were well known in the community and there seemed to be a good system in place for peer reviewing their code. Is there such a thing in the Android Community? I mean there's TeamWin, Cyanogen and the likes for mods, but for Stock people just install random files without knowing what's on it?

ALL Easy Installer firmware has been tested on my device (hence why only for xt1068) , multiple times

Thinking of Buying one for AT&T

I`m thinking of buying one and use it on AT&T, I know it its factory unlocked but my concern is can I flash say the Puerto Rico version firmware on to it? To get rid of the Verizon stuff along with the annoying "Non Verizon sim" message I know that will prob be there.

You need a Moto maxx then

Not what I was asking. The Droid turbo works just fine on AT&T. I was asking if flashing a different varrient on it is possible since there pretty much the same phone.

Then no, you can't flash anything on Droid turbo

Why not? I do know everything is not possible and manufacturers are different, but things are possible. The phones are basically identical

Because verizon locked the bootloader of this phone, so you are stuck with verizon firmware until someone finds a way to unlock the bootloader like they did with last year droid maxx

When a bootloader is locked, you can only flash firmwares designated for the exact phone model, even if they are almost or fully identical.
