WIPE YOUR PHONE BEFORE ANY FULL IMAGE IS INSTALLED! (Recovery menu - factory reset)
If you don't you might get constant reboots with the M logo

INSTALLATION:

Use G.O.T Recovery / Open Recovery to install this rom.
Currently require you to install a 2.36 stock rom, before you install this one.

Radio Band Requirements for different countries
Some countries require the original 3G files of your current ROM to work ie.
Canada, Brazil, Venezuela, Germany and some others countries uses a different band for 3G. If u dont backup the 4 original 3G Files and restore it over this nandroid once installed u gonna have poor signal, sms problems and HSDPA loss (even if u set apn and get conection its gonna be crappy one).
Files should be in the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/ of your phone.
This can be done using OpenRecovery and a adb shell.

You might check this thread , if a update-nosign.zip file exists for your model. which makes it easier for you to install.

Filenames are:

File_Audio
File_Audio2
File_GSM
File_Seem_Flex_Tables
generic_pds_init

(Dock , GreekIME , Maps , MotoCarDock , PersonalPortal , VSuiteApp , QuickOffice , teeter )

NOT SOLVED

- Reloading of Rosie (HTC Launcer)
Reason for not fixing it is that Motorola Milestone simply do not have enough memory for HTC SenseUI to run stable with only 256MB.
the launcher is very memory hungry for all its plugins and graphics.. so sorry, no fix, unless you add 256MB more memory to your phone.
- Bluetooth headset

WARNING: Use this image at your own risk and i take no responsibility if
you brick your phone.. Image has been tested on a UK milestone and works fine if all files in ADB recovery image is used.

[huuhiep175]

thank you for update !
testting....

[Lesiroth]

Great job!
I just downloaded it, and did a nandroid restore. But the phone keeps looping on the htc logo and jingle?

[antonyfl]

mine is just staying on motorola boot image... it also says that it didnt flash any of the boot images from nandroid oO
Im on Telus Milestone

[Kanardo]

doesn't work, im on 2.0.1

[dext3r]

as written earlier..

it has just been tested with the 2.36.0 image.

ive personally had problems with the 2.01 rollback since i tested the original 2.36.0 and could not return to an older image.

you probably have to download the 2.36.0_GOT image and upgrade to make this work for you.

im posting another update, which is a FULL backup of my image, which i just installed here, and it works fine.
As my phone has already gotten the 2.36.0 update and the SBF upgrade might include partitions not in adb recovery, you might still need 2.36.0 SBF upgrade (as i cannot test, i cannot tell)

[Lesiroth]

Hmm.. but I am already using UK GOT 2.36..

[kalagas]

thanks for your time....
I will try it when things that don't work now (GPS, camera etc)...
Can you please upload some screenshots to see it in action???

[dext3r]

Hmm.. but I am already using UK GOT 2.36..

that sounds wierd somehow.. that is the kernel its based.. you do mean EU image released?


btw, im posting a youtube video as well now..
and have already uploaded a complete image including all 2.36 related partitions.

[askask]

i have no good suggestion atm here...
its exactly what i got on my phone here...

I have even tried another SBF 2.36.0 sbf install, and the full image on top. it does not reboot here.. but somehow something is different..

[dasilva333]

can you post the direct links to the SBFs that you are using and let me know if they are service versions or not

[dext3r]

if you have no "pincode" on your phone, and it keeps rebooting try this:

boot into adb recovery, run the adb shell on your machine
execute the following after you flashed the full image

mount /data
cd /data
rm -R *
cd /cache
rm -R *

and reboot
there is a "hidden" directory in /data/.app just make sure you dont remove that one.
that is all the apps required..

RTEU_36_GOT_SERVICE.sbf is the one i used..

[landroid]

I already tried it and it doesn't work/.........and yes i have the GOT EU version........



I WANT SENSE UI!!!


HELP???

Hello sir!
I have carefully executed mentioned commands after booting to ADB recovery and it was still looping at boot screen + jingle, to make sure it is reproducable each time I did a second nandroid restore + deletion and it was still looping. Just to make sure everything is fine I flashed 2.36 DACH and 2.31. It perfectly enters a perfectly infinite loop of jingling. Hope to get it working soon so I can dig into the hacks

Also, I think it is a good idea to move all posts execept the release one a separate support thread. It will make the release thread easy to navigate. Ask mods to sticky them as well.
