can anyone tell me the difference between milesotne and droid??
when i look up both on gsmarena..it opens the same page..
i have a853 which is milesotne... can i flash droid roms on it??
Only if you want to convert your phone into a nice brick.
So the answer is NO.
The Droid and the Milestone have different hardware components.
Only install roms from the Milestone section.

What is the limitations of us porting ROMs from the Droid to the Milestone? Based on my research, both platforms are the same and the hardware is either identical or silimar (but 99% matching, with the exception of the Droid's CDMA radio).
I'd really like to see CyanogenMod on the Milestone, I think it would be a great ROM to have a play with. I just wanted to ask you guys and girls about it, before I run off and blow things up.
Please, no n00b comments. I know the Milestone and Droid are different (Milestone has a 600Mhz CPU and the Droid has a 550Mhz CPU?) and they both are GSM and CDMA respectively, but yeah.
Cheers,
Coburn.
You're right, they are extremely similar devices. The primary reason why this isn't possible is due to the locked bootloader - various checks are in place to make sure that the phone will only boot a kernel specifically built for the Milestone by Motorola.
Attempting to flash any Droid rom will result in a device that won't boot - you'll have to flash it with a stock sbf or with a nandroid backup, if your recovery still works.
A small correction, both the Droid and Milestone have identical CPUs. They're both 600MHz Cortex A8's, underclocked to 550MHz.
Yes, it will be possible when OUR bootloader will be unlocked. Works around KEXEC gave to us hope

im still a nub when it comes to this moto stuff - how is the milestone bootloader being locked different to the dext?
Weird, u said its an A8 processor but an app I have called OSmonitor states that it an ARMV7, unless their just the same...

ARM is the instruction set (What the CPU says)
Cortex A8 is the model number (What the CPU is)
The Milestone is dumb. It's a brilliant phone, but dumb.
A bad headphone jack, crippling lack of an unlocked bootloader, and silly reboots/wake up problems prohibit it from being epic.
Everything else is amazing.
Thats not so correctly !
In Europe is that not possible because its the different between GSM and CDMA !!
The Droid have CDMA and the Milestone in Europe have GSM ! Iam loocking for the develop Bootloader to flash other Roms on Milestone !!
When everybody have a idea or the answer ....pleas send me an PN !!
My friend is writing his new Programm its called recalc !! News comming soon .....

(no n00b comment mode) all discussions about locking/unlocking of milestone - must be only after you read info from this site http://and-developers.com/motorola_milestone
Enjoy!
P.S. developer bootloader (mbm v.90.80 dont let for you run unsigned kernel. seriously.) and if you try flash it - you can just brick your phone. You warned.

hackers already found a way to put custom roms into droid x (locked bootloader). it's a matter of time before the method being applied to other moto phones since they are almost the same.

Unfortunately, these are not "real" ROMs, as they can't replace the kernel or bootloader. For many people this will be enough, if you just want to remove crapware or install JIT, app2sd etc, but they can't do anything you couldn't already do with root access, they just simplify it.
However, there won't be any Froyo ROM:s until an official Froyo ROM is available.
the theunlockr have root the older XT701
http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/11/how-to-root-the-motorola-xt701/
and load a custom rom on the motorola xt701
http://theunlockr.com/2010/08/11/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-motorola-xt701/
can we do the same way to XT720 ?
I'm very interested to know if this is true too!

I am fairly certain that the CDMA "milestone" is actually the droid, while the GSM verison with the locked bootloader is GSM. The roms are quite different from both phones. If I am incorrect, please correct me. (This is from my understanding and I take no responsibility if something happens to your device). Also, you should check the model in settings and system info and see if it says milestone or not. (I'm pretty sure it would say droid if its a droid and milestone if its a milestone) Once again anyone please feel free to correct me.
Please press the thanks button if I helped!
I believe you are correct sir...its a rebranded bastard step child of a droid...it says A854 in the model settings...no milestone anywhere in system info. Yes the GSM versions are quite differnet
thanks all for feedback
I used to be a dev over at the Droid Eris forums and have since, moved on to the Droid 1. Can someone tell me what all I will need to make a Rom for this device since I have been told that "Kitchen" will not work for this device. I assumed it would because it just builds an Android Rom and not a device specific Rom. Any help with this would be great so I can give back to the Droid community. Thanks!
Ok so I guess the "Kitchen" on builds HTC roms. Nice.
Anyone?
please no flaming not sure if dumb question or not,,,
I have a droid 1 and understand I am in milestone forums..
My problem is i love my droid but want non aosp roms like the motoblur your guys over here have made.. im trying to ask a simple question of can i and how can i install a milestone motoblur rom on my droid? I am extremely willing to learn how to port over as i do understand that the milestones have a locked bootloader and droids do not. If ANYONE can help me with porting i have some knowledge of rom modifying but not enough to port over a gsm locked bootloader rom to a cdma unlocked bootloader phone...
Please please help and yes I understand my crap is old. I just love it and am a lil to poor to go get a new one, so its out of the question for me and i love the build of my hardened MAN-phone
