[Q] Milestone 2 - Vivo Brasil 2.3.6 downgrade - Milestone 2 General

Hi everyone, I might be a little late to the party but I recently booted up my Milestone 2 to Cyanogen Mod., but then decided it may be affecting my battery life, so I decided to flash a UK 2.3.4 SBF.
Long story short, I idiotically flashed it with a Vivo Brazil ROM ages back when doing this kinda stuff before, I was able to somehow get it on Cyanogenmod but I'm looking for a way to downgrade from this version to the UK stock ROM it was originally on (This version is full of apps not from my country, and also doesn't support the UK baseband).
I'd also like to know what this BL=4 thing is... does that stand for bootloader?

2.2.2 streak rom question

I just recently picked up a dell streak. It's brand new with what I'm guessing it the latest shipped rom which is build number 15274 running android version 2.2.2
All I see is custom roms and reflashing back to other roms to root....blah blah blah...is there a way to just root my current rom and not have to flash a completely new one? I'm all for supporting the community, I'd just like to keep this as device as clean as possible and remove all the bloatware.

Download SuperOneClick v1.5.5 and root away. Dont forget to put your phone into USB debugging mode before rooting, its very important that you do that. Or just follow the steps in this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925853 good luck.
Wow thanks, I totally skipped over that post!!! I guess from what I was reading I was expecting the whole process to be a lot more complicated.
Thanks a ton!
Anytime.

How come Dell don't push out the 2.2.2 version OTA to their customers?
I check for updates every day, but have just once received any. (2.2)
Their way of saying; "we just don't give a f*ck about our customers"?
You should have gotten that update weeks ago. It's been OTA for probably about a month now. And I don't know how much you've read, but a lot of what happened with not updating from 1.6 was probably AT&T's fault because they wouldn't okay the build (speculated). Dell had the source up for 2.2 for a long time, if I remember correctly.
I'm on unlocked stock EU ROM since day one. Just to clarify.
Do you mean the 2.2.2 was shipped OTA, for EU users too?
Ohhh. Didn't notice you were on EU. I don't know if Dell released one for EU yet (probably hasn't since you don't have the option to OTA). Just remember that it's not just the phone maker responsible for updates, the carrier has some say in it, too. Are you still on 1.6? Because you could always try out DJ Steve's ROM if you wanted to try something different.
No, the one OTA update I received, was the 1.6 --> 2.2 on last October.
Since then - nothing. I guess it's only in America people get the 2.2.2.
Thanx for taking time to reply.
No problem, haha. I hope you get it soon
I really want the update to, I'm in the Uk and I'm still on 2.2, I would do it myself but its just to complicated and don't wanna mess up my phone. Has anyone in the Uk got the 2.2.2 upgrade? And to be honest I really wont the 2.3 upgrade, but seeing as we still don't have the 2.2.2 upgrade, I think we'll be waiting a long time :'(
2.2.2?
If someone updated from 1.6, to the "non official" 2.2, is there any difference between it and 2.2.2?
2.2.2 is supposedly immune to the malware loaded from the 50 or so infested apps that Google removed recently from the market.

back to stock

Hi
I was on darky's rom 10.2 but i couldn't get along with that battery issue gingerbread has it and also wanted to go back to stock froyo. I flashed eclair XWJM7 (i read somwhere that is better to flash eclair first) in order to update through kies to FROYO. But when i connect to kies (it's the latest update) it says that "this version cannot be updated". I am from Romania and my network is Orange. I just want to have my phone back as it was when i bought it.
current firmware version: PDA:JM7 / PHONE:JM3 / CSC:JM1 (XEN)
please someone help me and thanks in advance
probably better to just flash the stock version your phone came with. then update from there.
k......only if i knew what stock version my phone came with. all that i know is that it was eclair.

UK retail Milestone 2 available to update 2.3?

UK retail Milestone 2 available to update 2.3 yet?
which SBF should we use?
For UK GB SBF look at there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19853860&postcount=341
But it's not possible to downgrade back to Froyo or to custom rom, you have been warned - now it is your choice

it's possible for you to change to other EURO 2.3.4. but impossible for stock froyo or any other custom rom (cm7/miui).
Concerning downgrade, we should try the procedure found by Defy owners.
They already had this downgrade problem (when they moved from Eclair to Froyo), and found a way to do it with a nandroid+sbf flashing. It should probabily work for us as well...
Take a look in defy section on xda, I'm a bit on a hurry and can't search for you right now...
Quick question: if my asian versioned MS2 installs this GB UK update, will it be able to use asian font app?
I am a UK Milestone 2 owner. When I got the phone, it had 70.12 bootloader and Froyo.
After the official Gingerbread update, I was able to go back to stock froyo, as well as custom froyo AND gingerbread ROMs, using RSD Lite, so have no fear - it's *NOT* impossible to go back.
What? Are you serious? Can you be more specific about it then. As far as we've already seen, nobody (except for you right now) was able to do downgrade from stock GB. It looks like you have some sort of magic M2 (no-efuse version)
I`ve read on this forum about engeneering versions of MS2..
this is probably such phone rather than magic

[Q] Unavailable stock SBF version

Hey there, new to the Android scene.
Just about to flash my Defy with CM7.1 however first a concern:
My system version is 34.145.18.MB525.TNZ.en.NZ, build number 3.4.2-145 version 2.2.2. Running on 2degrees network in New Zealand but it's primarily a Telecom NZ network phone.
When I match the build number with the table at (and-developers dot com/sbf:defy damn new user link restriction) I get
"Australia Optus JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2-145 900 / 2100 N/A not mirrored".
This concerns me because a) it's not my carrier's ROM and b) it's not mirrored
IF I was to flash my defy with CM7.1 and needed a factory recover for warranty, would I even be able to do the recover in the first place and if so, would the store be able to see I flashed a custom firmware because I'm running a version other than 34.145.18.MB525.TNZ.en.NZ?
Is there any way I can make my own full/fixed SBF of the current firmware?
Cheers, thought it's better to be safe than sorry.
No ideas? I really would like to get off 2.2...
How have you got on with this, im running the same telecom system version as you and want to flash to cm7, im pretty new to all this.
I haven't done it yet. Was hoping to get a response so that I could go forth but I'm not willing to do so without knowing that I can get back to the stock TNZ firmware if I need to warranty.

How to update Australian Razr M TX 905 to JB

Hi guys,
I got Australian Razr M TX 905 telstra branded in Istanbul and it is still on 4.0.4
I tried to update OTA but it says " you are on latest firmware"
So I searched how to update JB but could not find.
Is it possible to change stock Telstra firmware to verizon or else to update JB?
And how?
Thanks for your help

You can unlock the bootloader (same as dev edition procedure and works exactly the same), then flash TWRP, then CM10 beta (CWM was broken last time I checked).
However you then need to do some kind of build.prop edit to enable GSM. A few members here have done it and written it up somewhere, search for it.
Note there is no official moto fastboot for the telstra build so proceed at your own risk. Of course you can backup using TWRP.
JB hasn't officially been released on the Razr M XT905 yet. Telstra say it's going to be out 1st Qtr 2013. Use CM10 at your own risk as with all current roms it's really for the Droid Razr M's (CDMA).
Guys I appreciate for your answers. So that means for me " don't touch anything and go on for official"
To be save yes.
Or you can try Verizon JB with Aussie Radio =D
I think someone (apacheo maybe?) suggested that we could update with;
* Unlock bootloader (same procedure as a Razr I)
* Get Verizon Jellybean ROM
* Flash system
* Flash boot
That being said, that doesn't work for me using regular Fastboot System errors out when flashing.
Perhaps not worth the trouble when Telstra is scheduling the "real thing" in early Feb.
