Goldcard will let you install ruu from other vendors and models... but it will respect version nr!
So, make sure that you are installing a ruu with same or higher version nr.

Here I come again seeking for your helpful opinion

Hello again guys.
I've decided to do the radio s-off thing and I obviously need your help and opinion.
And the question goes.. what radio version should I flash? And please, can you give me the link and installation instructions I must follow?
I know it's tiring and boring (again) but the search is so difficult in this forum. I mean there are so many replies that I get lost..
Thank you in advance.
Cheers !!!

There is no one, ideal radio currently I am using Radio_12.48.60.23U_26.08.04.07_M3 , which works fine for me but your mileage may differ, before flashing the radio you are probably best to apply Radio S-OFF as this will preserve your ability to downgrade at a later date. May I suggest this thread as a starter it contains links to all the relevant tools and detailed instructions.

awesome.
thanks mate. that was a blazingly fast reply
will look into it tomorrow since i need to get some sleep. it's 3.18 here
thanks again mate
Cheers !!!

If there's any recommendations for the rom you're using, I'd go with that one first. To know which one works best you just have to try. Radios can be found here. Probably best to try the ones from this year. Here's the guide for the flashing process. Follow it exactly so you won't get any problems.
P.S. The search function isn't really that bad, you just have to know the right word. It also helps to use the "search titles only" in advanced search.

George,
As you're using ARHD 3.5, it would be wise to use the recommended radio from here:
http://xda.ckgaming.co.uk/db_mirror/Radio_12.35d.60.140f_26.06.03.24_M2.zip
Also while you're at it, flash the mic fix from here:
http://www.androidrevolution.nl/ARHD/RevolutionRom/Froyo/click.php?id=32
Flash mic fix from recovery but flash the radio using this guide:
Download attached Radio flash.zip
Extract the folder to anywhere of your choice (MINE IS ON THE DESKTOP)
Open the flash folder
Download the radio you want to use from the links above .Then Drag and drop radio.img you have downloaded in to radio flash folder
In the folder double left click the START HERE a command prompt window will open
Type: "adb reboot bootloader"
The adb reboot bootloader will take the device directly to fastboot And I can confirm that this method works also with non Sense roms.
Once your phone has rebooted in to bootloader screen Type "fastboot flash radio radio.img"
Once its done type fastboot reboot
All done

Awesome. Did the Mic patch even though noone made any complains to me about the voice.
After work am gonna do the radio thing.
Thanks a lot guys.
Cheers !!!

ok. got back home and need to flash a new radio.
but from the list with different radio files and versions that Hawks556 gave me the link to, i can see that the "recommended" radio for the revolution 3.5 is TELUS.
i know that i know jack about android (that's why i always come crying to mama.... eeerm, i mean you guys) but is this ok?
my phone is unbranded. i bought it as it is. by flashing this radio will i have a problem?
(and to tell you the truth, it seems like it's not so easy..... gee, i hope am lucky)

You shouldn't have a problem flashing any of the radio's form the radio thread and even if you did, as long as you are radio s-off you can always revert your radio, for painless flashing of radio, and recovery for that matter, I use QtADB which makes it fairly painless, but if your not comfortable flashing a new radio and your current one is working alright just leave it as is.

no, don't tell me.... please....
i don't have to revert to 1.32, do i?........................
the message i get is "failed (remote not allowed)"
Cheers !!!

Just run my ENG S-OFF tool (link in signature). Remember to tick the "I have radio s-off" -box. You do not need to change ROM, any ROM will work. Then after doing ENG S-OFF, try to flash a radio again.

well, i was thinking that after doing the whole thing i would come here saying "hey guys. anyone wants to build a new house? i have a brick to give" but all is well
done it, went fine. the error was because i didn't tick the "i have s-off"
ticked it, done the process and did the new radio thingy.
thank you so much guys.
Cheers !!!

U can update radios to the latest...as it makes a big diff in reception..wifi. Fm and stuff.. Just as a android is os for your phone... Radio is kinda os for those aswell

I know what you mean. It's like the BIOS on a m/board.
I get the picture. The thing is that I've read than quite a few people have problems like reception and sound (when talking on the phone) by flashing a new radio.
The best would be a list of the different radios along with their pros and cons. Tried to find something like this but was unsuccessful. But will continue looking...
Thanks anyway for the clarification mate

If you ever have issues with a Radio you just flash another or one which the majority have no problems with. Here's the Radio thread.

[Q] Language issue?! please help..

Hi,
I really need an Arabic support to my milestone 2 device. I've searched the net for a solution with no result, it might be due to the fact that milestone 2 hasn't been officially released in the middle east!!
I'm quite sure it's possible because milestone 1, Defy and Atrix users have had a solution for this issue, then why not me?
Please guys any help would be appreciated, I'm fed up with this!
I'm running the latest firmware 2.2.2

We would have all languages if we would have a Cyanogenmod ROM but we haven't at this moment. You can eventually install More Locale app from market, and add your locale. After that you will get your language in all apps that support it.

Just install the "More Locale" app from the Android Market, and add your (Arabic) locale in this app. After that all installed apps will recognize your system locale as the Arabic and automatically will be translated to this language if support it. Just try and see results.

agent008my, mkmck or anyone can help, if you could guide me through this?
I've found this generic Arabic files for android 2.2 & 2.3
but I don't know if I can apply them to milestone 2 and how? because I'm no expert in milestone 2 firmware, especially that Arabic is shown in my device but the problem is that it's not connected letters, so there is a little hope here

the steps to the link there is pretty straight forward. you have to make sure your phone is rooted though. to root your phone, check through the android development section of this MS2 forum and you should be able to root your phone then. read carefully, and then read again before you attempt a root. once rooted, download root explorer or something similar and you should be able to follow the steps in that blog pretty easily
edit: you should be able to search through all the extension files stated (right from checking if your ROM is deodexed to modding the system/framework extensions) in that blog after you have rooted your phone via root explorer or similar
always always perform a nandroid backup before you start rooting your phone or installing the patch. you can learn more about nandroid backups and similar android terminology and rooting through these threads:

I installed Root explorer and before rooting I've explored the Framework. I found a framework with odex extension which make it not suitable for the method the guy mentioned.
So my question here, is deodexing the rom a possible thing for a basic user (I've read it's a complicated method), or do you advice me not to do it? -to be able to apply the files-
Thanks very much!.

to be very honest with you, here is my understanding on deodexing:
Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.
to be honest i know nothing about deodexing or how difficult it is to carry out. however, i did take the liberty of searching some up for you, and there is a tutorial on this forum about deodexing. its very complete and it should be able to help you.

[Q] How to UNLOCK my LG GT540? Need 1.6 : Australia with 3 comapny

Dear All,
I updated my gt540 to 2.3 but forgot to back up my original ROM.
So now I cannot unlock my phone, and the 3 company didn't assist
me to do so neither.
I have tried the ROM other than 1.6 in this website, but none of them work for me.
Is there anyone who knows how to unlock my gt540?
Is recovering back to original 1.6 the only to do that?
What if I cannot find the original 1.6 for Australia 3 company users?
crying..........
Need all your help please....

aya? Not even one can help me????
............

You only need to go back down to 2.1 (And any ROM will do, doesn't need to be the 3 ROM), that will enable you to enter the unlocking code.
I made the same mistake, went all the way up to 2.3.5 and then realized I hadn't keyed in the unlock code yet and had to re-flash with 2.1 to enter the code. (It's broken from 2.2+ as the ROMS are not issued by LG, and therefore missing the special codes to access these sections.)
ADDED: GAHHHH!!!! What CRAP!! I can't post in dev forums (which is where I should be) Due to my low post rate (Bless Modaco) and on top of that I can't even post links in here to actually provide answers!! HOW CRAP!! (Pardon my rant here franva -- I'll mail you the link, anyone else... go find it yaself or complain to the admins here for blocking my assistance.)

Tool Kit
Android 2.1 Stock ROM - 3 Australia
Firstly download and extract the Tool Kit... Reboot your phone into fastboot mode and connect to the PC via USB.
Run the SwiftBootloaderBuilder.exe file from the zip (you will need admin privs for this)...
Set System size to 250, click "Save new bootloader" (then ok in the popup) and click "Flash new bootloader" (giving permission to the popups, and finally OK to the last).
Then click on "Reboot device" (again give permission to popups), and hold the "Home" key on your phone as it reboot to enter recovery mode.
Download the Android ROM from the link above and put it on your phone's SD card (you can download it directly there, by mounting the USB storage via "Mounts and Storage" in the recovery menu and then starting the download and using the USB as the saving location).
Use the recovery menu to select the "3stock.zip" file as the upgrade file and proceed. (This file is set to pre-wipe all existing data to prevent any clash).
Added: I've provided the 3 Stock ROM for you, as you've already mentioned that they are and will be your carrier. The first step in this method is VITAL as I believe the issue with the Telsra ROM is that the /system partition is too small to install fully, the steps above have been tested and I have personally verified they work. (Also note that while this is the Stock ROM in that it has all the settings and apps, I have modified the boot.img and included the Superuser.apk giving permanent root)

Dear Olite,
Thank you very much for your help.
I have unlocked my phone successfully by using a ROM in other forum.
Once again, I appreciate your patience and time
Cheers

Hmm, I kinda suspected as much when you never responded to my question on Skype...
Would have been nice if you had of at least mentioned that you had resolved this... a message via skype for example, could have saved myself an hour preparing this ROM.

Dear Olite ,
Sorry for wasting your precious time . I did login to skype to see whether you were there or not.
I noticed that you don't use Skype very often so I posted the message in this forum.

Bloody hell, use the search function! It isn't difficult!
Having said that, this is a complete guide to doing so. And yes, the ROMs tend to be multi-lingual and a lot support RTL writing for Arabic. It should state in the OP if it does.

Once you have had sufficient exposure to the process of installing nand android (like original) come back to xda and read the tutorials just to make sure the information is up to date!

As you are a native English speaker (or have a bloody good translator) you should EASILY be able to follow that guide. I'm 14 and I could, and I had literally no experience of anything like this beforehand. @lunchmoney (lol) jayceooi's tutorials are indeed very good, and show the step-by step-with text + have links to the XDA threads for downloads and he also answers all his questions on his website.
