I've not facebook: why a petition should be in vain at all?
This is the text of the petition:
To: Motorola Europe
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Update for Motorola Milestone (Europe).
Motorola Milestone is still a top-class smartphone and there are no technical reason to not port Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to this device since the update to Android 2.3 is yet announced on less-powerful devices.
We would like Motorola to update Milestone smartphone to Android 2.3 as we feel that the device is fully capable to support the new OS and is still to early stop supporting this device only after a year from it's commercialization. Especially for a top-class device.

before i'll create it, can you tell me if there are any grammar errors?

i personally appreciate your efforts however, i think they are wasted, im pretty sure 2.2 is the last official update we will see simply because it is motorola we are dealing with, not HTC or even smasung

I think that it would be better like this:
"Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) Update for Motorola Milestone (Europe).
Motorola Milestone is yet a powerful smartphone and there are no technical reasons to not port Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to this device since the update to Android 2.3 is also announced for less-powerful devices.
We would like Motorola to update the Milestone to Android 2.3 as we feel that the device is fully capable to support the new OS and it is still too early to stop the support for it as it has been out for just a year, considering also that the Milestone is a top-class device."
Anyway good luck
Why don't simply asking for an unlocked bootloader that allow a full ROM cooking like for droid and all the other HTC devices?
I think that it will be easier to get this instead of an official porting from Motorola (absolutely not convenient for them)!
And the community later can develop for porting 2.3 on milestone too.
Much easier.... Doesn't it??
P.S I already had some experience in the past with petition and manufacturer (Eten/Glofiish/Acer) ... And this is my point of view...
Worry for official release of Froyo first...then think about Gingerbread.
Change the phone is the fastest option...just saying.
Whait for it. ...
Ahahahaha, if u think how long they took them to relese 2.2, a. ... whait, it's not relesed yet, then if u think a bit, the deam phone will break before you got 2.3
Just saying. .. =))

As above, ask for the bootloader to be unlocked instead.
If the device is classed as End Of Life, i.e no more updates happening, then it's more likely they'll unlock it....
Dont get your hopes up though, we still dont have 2.2.....

hello, I've had my HTC velocity for over a year now, i bought it already unlocked, and ever since i had it it's been running android 4.0.3 which I've now become annoyed with. and it doesn't upgrade automatically probably because its unlocked (my conclusion). I've done some digging over the year and realized that to get the upgrade i would have to root it. Problem is i have not the slightest idea of how to go about rooting it. Please help!!!
The vivid was never officially updated past 4.0.3, thats why you're not getting updates. The ROMs you see in the development forum are unofficial builds of newer android versions. Check out Albinoman887's thread for Cyanogenmod 11. Its probably the most stable current ROM we have, and it's what i've been running for quite some time.
In order to install such a ROM on your device (if you desire) you don't have to be rooted... but you will need to unlock your bootloader to allow you to flash custom ROMs. HTC makes that pretty easy, and you can refer to their website for instructions (htcdev.com/bootloader). You'll have to create an account with HTC but that's no more difficult than registering an XDA account.
Ok so i got my phone (LG L90) with android 4.4.2 and it worked very well. Yesterday i received android 5.0.2 update and i really really hate it. Very ugly design and some of functions are gone or changed the way i don't like them. Is it possible to recover old android back ? I searched everywhere on this forum and i only found Cyanogenmod for 4.4.4, but i don't want that, i want official 4.4.2 ROM as i had just 2 days ago.. :/ Really disappointed, i have android devices since 2012. and i was always impressed and looking forward about android updates, but now this, total dissapointment. I would really apreciate the help because god i hate my phone now.

Hello, I just wanted to say I just made an account and this site looks awesome but anyways lets get into the problem.
So, I have recently flashed my ATT Galaxy S5 to a stock 4.4.2 ROM because I was having troubles with updating to Lollipop, Now that I have contacted ATT, I am now outside the boundaries of ATT and they said I am "on my own" because I decided to mess with the firmware and such. I also want to inform you that I am pretty techy and I am really good with modding and stuff like that so I am not dumb, I am just new into the "exploiting" "modding" "hacking" smart phones, I had a past history on modding and jailbreaking famous CFW for the PS3.
I need someone to explain to me step by step on how to flash to Lollipop since I can't get it over the air and having att not wanting to support me because I changed and altered the firmware. I want to get the best modified version of Lollipop and the best one you guys recommend. I need help, I am basic as of now and need help on flashing my phone to a good lollipop firmware.
Currently, I am on KitKat 4.4.2 and yes, STILL on 4.4.2, I am really behind on the updates and I need help on getting Lollipop and at this point, I don't care about custom firmware, I just want something bad ass, and since I joined the exploiting and flashing custom ROMS, I am here to start to have fun with the benefits you can do with flashing custom ROMS.
Reply and help me step by step on how to flash to Lollipop, I seen the Twisted Lollipop, that looked cool.
But keep in mind that I am still on kitkat 4.4.2

If you didn't take the ota use this.
You don't want the update man.. You will lock up your bootloader.
Also even if u never plan root... It's still best to stay with KitKat. Lolipoop imposes stricter permissions and you will have less control over the device.
I wish I could go back.. My phones updated and now I'm stuck.
If you truly do want to upgrade... Do it threw a manual process that will allow you to change later if you choose.. The ota update is the last thing you want

Good evening for you all.
I'm an absolute newcomer to Huawei, as I had Motorola devices since 2014 :silly: I hope to adapt fast to this new device
For now, I want to start slowly. I found the device I bought is currently on Android 5.0.1, and found there is a way to update it to Android 6.0 officially. However, the tutorials what I could find on internet went into a death path, as the websites or files doesn't exist.
I'm currently using an ALE-L21, Compilation ALE-L21C40B181. I found there are differences between compilations and things like that, so... can someone bring me a hand with this? :victory:
Thanks in advance
Note: I found the phone is already Rooted. Curious thing.
