i am patiently waiting on this... hopefully telus releases the update soon.
anyway, since i am using this milestone telus in the U.S. via At&t, do you think i will lose unlock?
i sure hope not!

If it's Droid then it's for CDMA. I don't think it's a good idea to try it on Milestone.
This has been repackaged as a ROM. It will not work on the milestone, under any circumstances.
Could a moderator or the OP perhaps re-title this thread in light of the fact that the update in question will not work on a Milestone?

Question is pertaining specifically with the title. It specifically states "DROID" and the question addresses if this will somehow work due to it being signed by motorola.
Perhaps, it will be helpful if there is a developer who can torn the package not to include the radio which is the only difference of milestone to a droid.

The title of this post seems to suggest that we, the Milestone owners, can accomplish this installation and it would somehow invite us to do so.
Motorola signed the Droid firmware to run on a Droid, not a Milestone. There are additional internal hardware differences beyond the radio, and there are software differences that permeate several components of the OS.

If it were so cut and dried, we'd have custom roms by the butt load.
It isn't
I really wish people would stop assuming that life is simple because almost every other android device has custom roms...
The milestone could have custom roms right now and it wouldn't make a difference, because we couldn't load them.
Here is how to update your motorola droid to android 2.2 froyo FRF84B.

Per your request, title has now been changed.
Moved to general since it isn't related to development.
This will not work on Milestone, it is built for Droid which is CDMA. Droid and Milestone are two different devices, they require completely different ROMs. There is no Froyo ROM for Milestone out there yet, neither official nor leaked.
Please be patient.
Thanks
Hey,
So I'm a CDMA man myself (EVO running cm7) but my girlfriend has a Captivate and really really really wants flash. I told her the only way to get flash is to root and get 2.2 but she WILL NOT let me root her phone. Apparently she doesn't trust me that much.
Anyway I've googled this junk 13411523541324 times and nothing seems to come up. I know Samsung pulled the initial 2.2 update but is an official one even in the works? I can't find any news on it.
Thanks for anyone who responds.
I'm running Andromeda myself, but I did update my wife's phone to the official 2.2 thru Kies Mini.
Download Kies Mini. And run the update. It's the Official 2.2 update for the Captivate.

Not my wife but just about. And yeah, explaining to her what the Superuser App is would be tricky without giving away the fact that she's rooted.
She just doesn't want me to mess up her phone like I have messed up phones in the past (though I've NEVER bricked a device I have had some close calls with erasing recoveries and whatnot). If she sees an update come straight from Samsung she's more inclined to do it.
Still, she's constantly seeing all the awesome features I get from all my custom ROMs and is like "I WANT THAT" so I'm like "WELL YOU GOTTA ROOT" and then she puts her foot down. Maybe one of these days...
yeah you are kinda stuck if she wants to flash but doesnt want to be rooted.
2.2 official does have benifits and is worth doing if you are going to stay official, but if you are going to flash custom roms 2.2 will add 3e recovery and a few extra steps to then get to custom. going to custom roms is easiet from 2.1

with the source for the droid 3 being released, this shouldnt be terribly difficult should it? ive gotten as far as setting up my environment and github but am still not sure how to set up the code and fork? the code and build i guess. does anyone have a n00bish guide or maybe want to team up?
I didn't think this was possible yet...

I meant to edit my op but got busy
An overwrite of the stock recovery isn't possible with the locked bootloader, but with bootsrrap it should be possible to at least access clockwork
Im a n00b but im fairly certain with root now we can def get clockwork with the right code

Making a working bootstrap is the hard part
If my theory is right, it shouldn't be terribly difficult...it should just be piecing the bits of code together, like a drop and fill.
Unless new code has to be written, in which case im at a loss

No, it's not much harder than making a working recovery. If we know where the partition addresses are, it's easier than making the recovery. There are several great bootstrap authors out there, and if we could give them a good CWM Recovery for the D3, they could incorporate it into their flashers with little additional trouble.

Tenfar's recovery sucks, believe me, and his first language is not English. The person/people to ask is romracer, since he's forked the best parts of official Koush recovery and Tenfar.
However, long story short, we may be stuck for a while in the same hell the DX, D2, DX2 are: rooted Android, locked bootloaders.

Locked bootloaders suck, but atleast if we could get bootstrap, and recovery....we will have so many options!
guys,
i am still learning the android architecture, so i don't know what i am talking about
the devs over in xperia x10 mini pro, have successfully ported CWM (and before it xrecovery, and right now we have dual recovery, meaning we can use xrec and cwm both), eventhough the bootloader of it has not been cracked!!
will it help to ask them what they did?
I wrote tenfar an email asking about porting his app. It was clear his first language was not english, but hfrom what I understand he is looking for a loaner device before he commits to doing it.
I guess I thought it would be easy with root and source but clearly im mistaken. I stand by what I said, id love to team up with someone and figure it out as much as id love to donate to whomever can do it whichever happens im sure the community would be greatful
Yep i'll donate for clockwork no troubles to speed up the process, i think we can afford one more phone 8)

Has anyone who has a spare D3 or maybe got a spare from the buy one get one free tried contacting koush to see if you could send it to him so he can get us a bootstrap for this thing?

I don't think anyone would b willing to give up their d3, besides koush says there might be a chance it would be bricked. If we had an sbf to unbrick I bet people would agree to this.

Agreed, I would send loan koush my d3 in a heartbeat if I knew we had an sbf to come back to. There's a lot of things I want to do once an sbf drops.
I don't know which Rom is best for my t-mobile device which is rooted stock Rom 2.2.2 and want to upgrade rom. I know their are bugs in some so whichever has the least bugs and crashes would be great help and cut back the extensive reading thru tons of posts. Links to download Rom would be sweet too. I am a noob, but I got it figured out.

HoneyStreak (StreakDroid 7) is the best for me now. ICS also is quite good, but camera (and 2g/3g) dont work.
Ive read 10.1 is horrible...
I need camera to work and also need the version to work with the GSM hack.

In that case, there is *no* CyanogenMod that's best for the Droid 3.

You're story is missing some details. Firstly, it doesn't come with any version past 2.3.4, so you must have done some hacking before that. In either case, the simplest solution to a bricked device is flashing a 2.3.4 sbf using rsd lite. (You could get the latest sbfs from sbf[dot]droid-developers[dot]org. See this article for more information: Thread 1255198
The Droid 3 stock is only 2.3.4, but Milestone 3 has 2.3.6

This entire thread is hilarious. If you would like to know what the best D3 roms are...try them. They have all been released publicly. They are right here in this forum. They are all available to you, so use them.
