Hi everyone I have a rooted evo and I've rooted and unrooted a couple times and I am very compfortable with flashing roms because I do it all the time. My boss has a milestone x and she wants me to root it for her. I was wondering if someone could give me a list of roms that are stable and work well on milestone x also hotspot working! Also is there an amonra recovery I can put on. If anyone has the files I will need to root that would be great. On my Evo I just unrevoke then flash amonra and a Rom and its in business. Is there a big change on how to root this? Thanks a lot Droidxers I really appreciate it!

I recently purchased a milestone x the gingerbreak app worked for me
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I rooted mine using SuperOneClick root and it worked easily!
As for a working ROM I have read that it is a long process to make Droid X ROM's work with our APN's and it is possible to get stuck with Verizon's network so I haven't even tried it.
What I have done that has made the experience much different is install some apps and script's that 180'ed the stock ROM and make it feel like a completely different device.
Well this is what I did, I searched gingerbreak on 4shared . Com website, downloaded, open it, then press root. The root is successful when it turns off, if it doesn't work redownload another apk..
For the CMW recovory..I searched droid x bootstrapper, again on 4 shared..pressed bootstrap recovery, then reboot recovery.
Far as custom roms go its not many that work on Milestone X, Liberty 2.0.1 does with no tweakin..
Miui and Cm7 works with a script kernel tweak seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?nomobile=1&v=vxZ7cBt2K-Q you just have to delete the Verizon kernel script with notepad and save the changes..the exact tutorial is under "show more" under the video..that should work

You have to manually remove Superuser.apk from /system/app/ before you can root again.

Droid 2 is what you want I don't know why I just know it works.
Fixing the DX is easy. Read up on sbf if you run into issues.

when you say 'latest gingerbread' do you mean 2.3.5?
i have a rooted x on 2.2.2, and i want to apply the 2.3.5 update, but i am scared that it will break my root, if i understand correctly i can apply the update then adb shell to remove su and superuser then re-root using pete's? is that correct?
i rooted originally with superoneclick 1.9.1

Odd, I haven't come across an unrootable build for the Droid X.
Also, are you sure 2.3.5 is correct the latest version of Gingerbread for a stock Droid X is 2.3.3.

I recently rooted my droid x and I was wondering if I need to purchase droid 2 bootstrap recovery in order to flash a rom with rom manager? Btw im on the latest gingerbread ota update.
You will have to use Droid 2 Boostrapper.. regardless of where you find it =P
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA App
But if install a rom using rom manager will it use the droid 2 bootstrapper or will I just have to manually install the rom in recovery using the droid 2 bootstrapper? Sorry I haven't flashed on the droid x yet
Check my signature.
There is a link for a compiled bootstrap from the Droid 2 bootstrap source.
And flashing through rom manager will work as well, yes.

The boostrapper application installs the recovery so then you can use Rom Manager to flash roms. After you have used Droid 2 Bootstrapper be sure to update recovery through Rom Manager.

It is very stable. The unofficial nightlies by RevNumbers can be flashed over Gingerbread.

Droid X and Droid 2 Bootstrappers are NOT to be used with 2nd init roms such as CyanogenMod7. 2nd init roms have built in recovery, and using one of the bootstrap apps will mess your system up to the point you will have to SBF.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA App
Well, that explains what happen to me!!
So use Droid 2 bootstrapper then after flashing use built in recovery that comes with cyanogen mod? Also does the camera on cyanogen mod work because I saw that there were some bugs. Also when I flash cyanogen mod and when another update cones out can I flash the updated one over the old one and keep my data from the previous or do I need to wipe data again? Finally when in cyanogen mod can I use Rom manager regularly without needed Droid 2 bootstrap?
Btw sorry if I have a lot of questions and thanks for taking the time to answer them

Use it to flash CyanogenMod, but afterwards dont use Droid 2 Bootstrapper AT ALL.
The camera works just fine in RevNumber's Unofficial CyanogenMod Nightlies, so flash his builds over Gingerbread.
When an update is released it can be flashed over your previous build without having to wipe, so you will keep all your data.
After you have flashed CyanogenMod Rom Manager can be used regularly with no need for Droid 2 Bootstrapper. If you use Droid 2 Bootstrapper you will screw up your phone.

Is it possible if you could link me to the latest cyanogen mod and when I checked koushes website and he gives out the Droid 2 bootstraper for free but the link doesn't work any ideas?

Links to the newest CM and a working bootstrap are in my sig.
Ok so I have flashed the cyanogen mod rom and when ever the phone is charging the led light is on is there a way to fix this? And how long do you think it will take for the light to burn out?
Hi,
My droid pro is now running 2.3.4 and it is rooted.
I want to upgrade it to VanillaLVL cm7,but the cwm just switched to default recovery mode(white text).
Sometimes,the cwm recovery switched itself when i charge my droid (dead charging),if i try to run it,just showing a blank screen and no reaction.
So,what i'm doing wrong(i use the ROM manager from market)
Thanks

Haha! Dono if you still know about this device.... But i am playing around with a old Droid Pro and i can only use Droid2 bootstrap with the stock ROM, not with a custom ROM....
Any ideas?
Could someone reupload this file (or newer if exist)?
I have a Droid X, I'm trying to get cyanogenmod installed on it.
It's been rooted via Framaroot's Gimli exploit, and I've used Droid X Bootstrap Recovery to install clockworkmod.
Next, I rebooted into clockworkmod, wiped the cache, Dalvik cache, did a factory reset, and installed cyanogenmod.
I then rebooted.
The phone hangs on the red M, I've left it there for hours with no luck.
I can SBF to revert to an unmodified state, and that gets my phone working again, but I would really like cyanogenmod...
I've tried flashing the Milestone X, then doing the root-bootstrap-wipe-install process several times, but with no luck. Every time, cyanogenmod just hangs on the red M and I have to re-SBF.
The thread here is the closest thing I could find, but it concerned the Droid X2, and nobody had any luck with that, either.
Hey man, it's been awhile since I've done anything on my DROID X but I'll try to help out. Let me make sure I understand what is going on. When you SBF back to an unmodified state, it works fine? Then, when you try to flash cyanogenmod again, it hangs up? Is that right?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 4
Yes, that's correct.
So the problem is not "I can't get my phone back to a functioning state," it's "I can't get cyanogenmod into a functioning state."

official cm7 is built for froyo kernel only

Sent from my XT862 using Tapatalk 2
I've worked with the droid x (shadow) pretty extensively. If you have a red "M" you are on a gingerbread kernel. The official CM7 builds are not compatible (froyo based). Like sd_shadow said, running the pooka build is probably your best option, it's been updated to work with the "red M gb kernel", and it has a couple of other fixes for camera/flash/gps/battery life included as well. It is important to know which build you're on though, the .621 made things more interesting...
It's unactivated, but I think the carrier is Verizon.
The system version was the .621, but after cyanogenmod wouldn't boot and I had to SBF, I used the Milestone X firmware to recover, so it looks like it's running the 604 firmware now.
Sent from my Droid X using xda premium
as long as you are not using a carrier other than verizon, it's ok
the milestone sbf was only needed when 621 was unrootable
but you also need the 621 kernel and wifi libs or you may have issues.
I suggest
flash the 621 sbf using rsd lite or the 621 ezSBF

I'll need to do a factory reset and wipe the Dalvik Cache, right?
Sent from my Droid X using xda premium
I recommend always wiping data before and/or after flashing sbf, although if flashing same version may not be necessary.
You should always wipe data before and/or after flashing a rom , unless you are installing a minor update.
the cache is wiped with the data, but it is generally recommended that you wipe cache, I don't worry about it if I wiped data.
Wiping the dalvik should not be necessary with most roms, wiping it will not hurt, but will add time to first boot.
