anyway, since i am using this milestone telus in the U.S. via At&t, do you think i will lose unlock?

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

ya def should have waited and flashed something like fresh 2.1.1 etc cause now i think your stuck.. sorry...
So wait, you flashed the "Samsung Moment" 2.1 update from Sprint and you come here expecting the "Hero" Devs to root your Moment? This is what im getting from your "Samy Oficial from Sprint" comment. I also really hope you fat fingered "Sammy" and "Official".
and another one gone... .... ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rY0WxgSXdEE#t=0m49s
Im starting to think maybe that "samy oficial" was supposed to be "semi official". I've been to the ghetto and way out in the country "Backwoods, W.V.", ya just need to merge the 2 to get the language.
Tried using flashrec yet? you can do it all from the phone... that is how I rooted from 1.5. all from my sdcard and flashrec. EASY too..

Unfortunately my good sir, you flashed much too early. Sprint patched the normal root method in the leaked update, so now the way we normally do it doesn't work. Damageless has released a rooted version of the leak, but it's just for the impatient people on here, so be warned. If you're running damageless 2.08.1 you'll have an update in DCUpdater within the next few days.
As to your situation, you can't go back. You've already flashed, so you'll be waiting until Damage and company find a way to root from the official 2.1, instead of upgrading from root to root. Keep your eyes peeled, and use that search bar.

He's talking about the Hero 2.1 leak from yesterday or two days before, somehow a 2.1 update for the Hero got leaked from Sprint, and it has the release keys and everything. Damageless poked around in it and deemed it legit, so our May 21st release date is looking very realistic now. He has a Hero, and he obviously flashed the leak. Little did he know that the leak fixed root, and he's gonna have to wait a long time.

How do you know he's talking about the Hero Leak? Maybe he really is talking about the Moment that was recently update...How do you even know he has a Hero to begin with?
Well for starters it's a hero forum so that would be a natural assumption. Second, if he flashes the moment rom to his hero he would be complaining about having a brick not lack of root. I'd guess there is a very tiny possibility he has a moment and posted on the wrong forum but that would be a stretchas the thread title does say hero.

You're posting in a Hero thread, and would the Moment software even work? I mean yeah people are stupid sometimes but I don't think he flashed a different phone's rom to his phone. Also, he said "samy oficial" which we have determined to mean "semi official", that would apply to Sprint's "semi official" HTC Hero 2.1 leak. Moment's update is fully official, Hero's update is semi as of right now.
I'm 99% sure he has a Hero, flashed the leaked Hero 2.1 ROM, and wants to know when 2.1 can be rooted. Unfortunately, he should've waited, because now he has to wait MUCH longer

The whole thing is his use of "semi official." Moment's update is totally official, the Hero's is a leak.

No not yet... and dont try it cause it will brick your tab, but always remember if you brick it as long as you can get into download mode you can always unbrick your tab (Sprint) using EA-24.
BTW: Wrong catagory for questions. Use Q&A
Sorry I've been reading this forum all day
Yeah I already bricked it a few times and then brought it back with EA24, which is what I am running now. Is there anything better? I really want those CRT on/off animations and stuff.
I too would love to see a GB rom for us. Probably won't happen though.

Well if you could flash a rom to it -it wasn't "bricked". The term "brick" is used far to loosely now. Its bricked when you cant restore with software and you have to either replace or repair board with jtag etc. What you did was simply screw a flash up so device wouldn't boot a rom.

You will but you will likely have to wait for your carrier or Samsung to update you via kies or you flash manually once its released.
PS. You shouldnt be creating topic sin this section, this is for devs/chefs only for posting roms/kernels/ref etc. Stick to Q&A and read sticky topics.
Hey, question: It's a sprint Tab, but I don't use Sprint and I don't care if the cell modem doesn't work at all. Is the rest of the hardware so different that I can't use one of the GSM ones, for example?

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

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)

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.

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.
First I'm going to say that I just found this rom, I did NOT create it... It is for the Motorola Droid A855 ONLY
Second I'm not sure if anyone has their og droid laying about but there might be a few so I'm posting this...
Okayy soo...
Download LiquidSmooth Gingerbread ROM from here => https://mega.nz/file/RBICwaBT#Yw9SbjNBSNw0tSQiyilsKBoxIplAXi1uLp5jACw2AoA
You MUST wipe data
Install and reboot (No need for gapps)
If it doesn't boot just wipe data a few time then install again (I had to)
