BYEE!!

does it mean that we will have froyo built on the flipout whitin march 2011???
i think i'm going to buy it! *__*

yep thats right, on 1Q of 2011. im really happy with the phone

Hopefully they do release 2.2 on this phone but keep in mind Motorola is really bad with providing software updates to their phones even if they give a specific time frame. Many of their handsets have been promised updates and still have not received them.

Yeah, HTC was about 5 months late on the 2.1 upgrade for the hero

And now it's January 2010, didn't hear any news from Motorola... yet.

Sadly i'm not feeling a froyo vibe for at least for quite a while, despite what I would hope for

Hi all,
unfortunatelly there will be no Froyo update for flipout - Flipout will remain on Android 2.1. Found this information on official Motorola site h**ps://supportforums.motorola.com/community/manager/softwareupgrades?view=overview
The last time that I have bought a Motorola device, HTC had been the better choice...

Well, that's decent sad news.
And, we have to admit it.

fuc**ng ****
is any unofficial froyo rom for flipout ??

This phone have another updates but with eclair? wich is the most actually software? this phone can install froyo with other forms? this phone NEVER taste froyo? or can install flash player and app2sd in eclair and work ok?
PD: My phone have a "blur_Version.1.19.2.MB511.Retail.en IT" and i'm live in Spain, have an other updates?

NO
motorola update list , Flipout will keep 2.1 forever

ins't there anyway to subscribe at motorola to make them develop a 2.2 or even 2.3 upgrade for flipout? we can make a petition and let everyone sign!

Petitioning Cyanogen team would be 100 times more efficient, but I'm afraid Flipout is not widespread enough to interest devs, the work most probably won't pay off.
UPDATE
Opps, there is much more weighty reason than low install base, it turned out that all Motorola phones except the original Droid have a locked bootloader, so even if somebody would maker a custom ROM, it would be impossible to load it.

yeah, I agree... htc devices are more common and that's why cyanogen is working on them... is there a minimum number to reach to let them know about us? I mean, I'm still a touchpro2 user, but there's no other device I want but motorola flipout and it'd be much better to have some new software upgrades...

if only motorola droid has a unlocked bootloader, how exists CM roms for motorola CliQ XT or the Defy?

Hi,
I've just got my very first smartphone (a Flipout) and think it's great. I'm now trying to figure out what the best operating to use is. When searching for 2.2 information, I came across this great thread, but have also found a page which seems to suggest that 2.2 is possible, and wondered what anyone thought...
As I'm not allowed to post links yet, Google for upgradeupdate-motorola-flipout-motoblur_7560 and it's the top hit (venusvenera).
Assuming the above is a load of rubbish, would anyone be kind enough to give me a link to the best UK version of 2.1 to use without Motoblur, as there seems to be some confusing in the 'Full Orange Debranding Guide Very easy' thread, or at least I'm confused.
Thanks

if we pay a developer to port a 2.3.3 rom to our flipout??

[Q] Brand New Owner

Hi everyone. I'm a brand new owner of a T-mobile htc HD2.
UPS delivered today. But prior to receiving the phone I've been
reading alot of reviews, specially here in this amazing site.
After gathering all the information I could, still decided to go ahead
and get this wonderful looking phone, although I believe a
different ROM is defenitely needed (already seen 2 I like, Elegancia and
Energy - perhaps theres a few more to take into consideration).
Now here are my concerns.
1.-I'll be using the phone in the Dominican Republic. Do I need some type
of jailbreak for the phone to work there? It hasnt been activated here in
the U.S. It's a brand new phone in the box.
2.How do I go about installing the ROM? What would be the absolute first step?
Is there a guide?
Thank you in advance for your time and answers.
(please forgive my english).

Saludos eduardo...felicitaciones has adquirido un buen telefono, sobre las guias aqui Guia para novatospodras encontrar las instrucciones etc....saludos

Milestone 2 - Available ROM's?

Hi All
I've got the Milestone 2 UK version and in need of a clean Vanilla ROM.
Please help by listing all available Milestone 2 ROM's here.
Thanks in advance.

There aren't any 'custom' roms yet.
You may wish to follow this thread and also express your interest and/or support:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870845

Thanks Shellite, that's very helpful. It's a shame nothings out yet but the device is still quite new I guess thats probably why!
I just posted a message on that thread you linked to, I'm in
Cheers mate

This is a pretty old post but if you still have your phones check out
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968160
First ROM for Milestone 2. Not fully custom but it's def an awesome huge step forward.

I'm from M2 forum and I advice you to not lay your hopes on Angdroid's topic. He asked for money to buy the device, some people donate to him enough money so he could buy and then he disappeared. Every month he tweets about coming back to dev but never does this. Also, he never gave any explanation about it.
Just a warning.

Brasileiro?
Cara, o que você pode me indicar para melhorar o desempenho do M2? Tem alguma rom customizada melhor que a Froyo e em português?

Rooting HTC Hero GSM 2.1-update-1 (3.41.61.31)

Hi lads,
So I've been trying to root my HTC (Hero GSM 2.1-update-1 (3.41.61.31), originally Orange Spain, but unlocked by code) for few hours now, haven't managed yet. All the articles I've found about rooting this phone seems to be quite old and none seem to be more recent than the latest OTA update they've sent.
Even the latest version of Androot (1.6.2 beta 5) doesn't seem to work; I keep getting a Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~ seemingly clueless error.
Found some more hardcore ways to do it, but then again, all of them quite old and no one confirming if for the current version - I don't want to end up with an expensive paperweight
I want to root it in order to install the latest Froyo ROM (Oh, and if anyone have serious reason for opposing to the villainrom 1.7, I'd appreciate a headsup)
Please, could anyone refer me to the definite how-to-root-this-thing?
cheers mates,
f.

Hi!
Are you from Spain? I am and I spent all night trying to root or upgrade to some kind of distro, but there was no luck...
I had the same firmware and update as you, and... at the end I'll get it! :]
The thing was just go to htc page to download the "latest" drivers for your HTC Hero Orange (important to be orange cuz if not it won't be able to download -also it would ask for a serial number, just write it on-).
What you downloaded now is just to downgrade your cellphone and override all newer updates... Then your phone will be back in time to 1.5 (dino-droids!)
Yeeeey! I did a big party after that ¬¬
Well... then all you have to do is follow the steps for a common htchero unlock... you can apply androot, and put some roms and that...
En mi caso, me ha quedado un Hiro! de la ostia! :] va sobradamente más rápido que antes.
good luck!

[Q] Nodo Update

Can we expect a ROM soon with the recent NODO update ?

Answer is no. At least 1 or 2 month later we may get a NoDo for HD2

and how exactly do you know this?

I'm hoping it will come soon, but could be a few weeks. With these talented guys though, you never know, it could be much sooner than we think.

Or simply more later that we think.
Anyway nothing if we don't have proper tool.

Good question, how do you drizztzou KNOW that or have you just pulled a random timeframe out of your backside?

no one has a clue, need to see what DFT can do, but if ms make it harder to do then who knows! its a guess but im sure it will happen sooner or later, im not to bothered about it to be honest, all those things i thought i "needed" from WM and android dont seem to be bothering me at all

Someone has an DFT Board Account... The NoDo is rdy to Download there
Just someone who got an account, please upload teh ROM for us

It there? Ah...hope someones uploading

Had a look over at their site but could'nt find any trace of a Nodo build for the HD2. I can only see the topics not the whole threads as i'm not regstered there but i guess they would open a new topic for that...
Till there is a confirmation from someone who can actually read whole topics and makes it available here i'm not convinced there is a HD2 nodo rom.

When there is an update for NoDo there is no doubt that XDA-Developers will get it when Cotulla and the DFT team leader decide to give it to us. Even if there were an update now, I doubt that any upright member of the DFT website would post it here without the express permission of Cotulla and DFT, as there is the matter of respect for the hard work these people do to be considered.
In a nutshell, it is useless speculating when an update will come, and it is even more useless sending people to a Chinese site they can not read to find an update that is not yet there. All that we can do is be patient, and thankful when it does come.

if so, it cant be done yet.

hd2 nodo!!
yes .. so I hope to soon find on the xda single node without having to update hd2 Flesca the rom .... but sure if you know tell me they're working on this?? thanks! I currently have with Roma hd2 wp7 Xmod 7.0.7004.0 sandisk micro sd from 16 gig class 4 HC (ultra mobile, without written as we read on several forums) I chose that because that is the same mon ta hd7 16g: P: P everything goes wonderfully well for a while too !!!!!! long live xda!

in italiano
si.. è cosi spero di trovare presto su xda il singolo aggiornamento per hd2 nodo senza dover flesciare la rom....ma sapete dirmi sicuro se ci stanno lavorando su questo???grazie!! io attualmente ho hd2 con rom wp7 xmod 7.0.7004.0 con micro sd sandisk da 16 giga classe 4 hc (senza scritta mobile ultra come si legge su parecchi forum) ho scelto quella perche è lo stessa che mon ta hd7 16g e tutto gira a meraviglia!!!!!!da un bel po anche mi scoccerebbe molto installare tuto da capo x aggiornare il telefono....lunga vita a xda!!!

I dont know if anyone is working on it, sorry!
but i do know that the phone is identified as a "LEO" device when you try and update it, meaning that something is still visible to the updater that could be the reason the update fails
Could they fix it?
maybe, but i wouldnt want to update it
Our HD2 with WP7 is unique, it has its own drivers, drivers Microsoft doesnt support, IF they can get WP7 to update via Zune there is a high chance that an update could completely bugger our device by changing important drivers, meaning you would need to reflash it anyway to get it working again
so, to be honest, i think what we need is a backup program, this will enable us to backup what we need, and reflash the device, we can the restore the backed up programs/data afterwards
And thankfully someone IS working on that

yeah, we got that bit, we're talking (i think!) about being able to update (via Zune) rather than reflash
i dont think being able to update will, or even should happen, but the backup may be useful
