[HOW TO][Compromised] get a Rooted GB - Milestone 2 General

Attention: By this method, you use an old leak rooted /system, but the others are newest.
And walter79 said he will release a new rooted nandroid backup tomorrow.
This method has worked for my M2.
1.Follow the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169038
2.But replace the fixedsbf with this new one http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8YN9JY8B
The first boot may take a longer time, please wait for at least 5 min.
[updated]3.Once you get your phone rooted, for google services, come here http://android.modaco.com/topic/335141-addoncm7-updated-more-google-apps-2011-07-29/

you will need it to flash the fixedsbf

I mean, I'm still using the 2.2, in order to install the whole thing, I need to flash the 2.3.4 first, but I don't know how to do that.

I think you mistake something. you dont need to flash the 2.3.4, but the fixsbf.
And this will teach you how to use RSD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914071

So your saying that the file I downloaded that has 170mb 7ziped is not what I need to get GB?

Yes. actually the 2.3.4 has been divided into 2parts: nandroid backup and fixed sbf.

So how can I flash the fixed sbf?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914071

When I tried that the flashing process failed.

Before flashing, press power button+camera button+vol up key to enter bootloader mode.

Ok, see if I'm thinking correctly.
First download the nandroid backup from the another post of the unsigned leak and use it with CWM.
Second flash the milestone2 using the fixed sbf you posted

Yes and yes...

thanks, gonna try it now, wish me luck

Just include all files under /system, may be no use at all. Since someone leaks it, I post it here
or maybe you could investigate it for new features.
PS:Find the "**下载" button, press it, your download should start or Use google translation.
Edit: someone has got the .sbf, but without signature, it can only be flash to engineering device. So he leak the /system only.
we get the sbf but its unsigned...
Sooo I'm back from my holiday
And this looks very promising! It's just... it doesn;t matter how much I push that button, the download doesn't start
e...where can we upload the .7z?

Leak it, even without a signature.
Able to download it here in the UK, great news!
so...could we restore the system only via CWM recovery?
I could not follow through...
this is a packed (.7z) version of /system of new GB Rom for MM2?
What use does it have for us? Would it work if I upgraded /system?
I also got it,but it unsigned.

@applefanboylol,
If you have RA, or Clockwork installed, it will not work because if you attempt to boot into recovery(because you replaced the boot.img file with a different recovery system other than stock) the bootloader will take you to the alternate recovery. You will have to remove RA, or Clockwork. To answer your question the update overwrites the existing kernel with a different one.

Do not flash Netarchy nor any other kernel until Android 2.3.5 kernel version is released. I'm sure Netarchy will release 2.3.5 kernel version once the source code is released for public.
Does this update remove root/CWM recovery? It's easy enough to get back, but I'm just double checking before I do anything stupid.
not sure why but the directions state to hold power and vol up after you boot into recovery before the exclamation mark and it just refuses to give me the option to select my update.zip......... blllaahhhhh
edit:: Ok so you have to hit Power first then hold it down when you hit vol up.. That worked perfect for me.

Gingerbreak only worked on HC 3.01
Iconia Root for 3.1
And downgrade first before rooting if you're on HC 3.2

If you've downgraded to the unstable version, that's where you want to be, root it, install Acer recovery, which you will install CWM with, then install a "pre-rooted" 3.2 or custom 3.2 ROM.

[Q] official a500 OTA on leaked ICS ?

Working: OTA updates on a rooted HTC One with an unlocked bootloader

Working: OTA updates on a rooted device with an unlocked bootloader
Ok, finally i've managed to do an OTA update on a rooted device with unlocked bootloader, using the following steps:
Step 1: flash back the stock recovery (can be found in the OTA update rar file, in the firmware package).
Step 2: install back the missing APK files, lost during unlocking the bootloader (can be found here: http://sharesend.com/ulxcsxa9)
Step 3: Perform the OTA update normally
Step 4: Flash back the custom recovery using fastboot
Step 5: Go to the custom recovery en press reboot system, in my case CWM asked me to Fix the root and i did.
Notice that there will be no loss of any data, everything should be working fine after following these steps. Just flash back the custom recovery and regain root acces (if CWM won't ask to do it for you) by using rooting tools or rootkeeper.
I think you mean recovery instead of bootloader in steps 1, 4, and 5.

This is nothing new but it's a good guide anyway and if you made OTA updates work with a custom recovery etc then that would be excellent news.
Hey it seems like the files in the OP don't exist or sharesend hates me, if someone could reupload them that would be awesome.

You mean this works with custom ROM, or should I flash back stock rom ? (I only find OTA for 2.24.401.1)
Edit : I've lost my nandroid backup of stock rom trying unsuccessfully to change firmware...
Just wondering if #3 is absolutely required? Cuz I think most custom ROM has at least some of these APK cooked-in.

Checked on ARDH. Some of them are missing...
Okay now my main question is, Since taking the OTA is possible on a stock custom Rom, if I have the 1.27.531.11 firmware update (tmobile) and I wanted to flash the 1.27.531.7 Rom, and take the .8 OTA, would it restore the .8 1.44 hboot that wasn't modified and allow me to S-Off? I got as far as trying to take the OTA but it didn't work because I forgot to flash the missing apk's.

Thank you for the second part of your answer. for the first part, I have a good running device with ARDH 13.3 and no problem,
I want OTA updates only for firmware update as I don't have s-off. so with ARDH it is impossible. I need a stock ROM that matches my device ( 2.24.401.1 and CID HTC_102) where can I get that?

If you want otas, ask Mike why he choses not to do them, else just put up with checking the thread and downloading+installing a new version every couple of weeks. If you want OTAs on ARHD Mike needs to let them happen, no amount of tinkering on your part, even with s-off, will achieve this
