[Q] MS2Ginger 4.0 on A953 currently on MILS2_U6_4.1-22

hello all
the nob video was cute .. :good:
Now, as you can see from the title, I have a A953 milestone 2.
Stock for this moto was asia retail froyo 2.2 , then I put this MIUI ROM which is quite OK.
BuildInfos:
Android version : 2.3.4
Release Codename : REL
System version: 64.1.22.A953.Retail.en.GB
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.60.00
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9.-g7d2667a

I want to know if I can go and install the MS2Ginger 4.0 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140839
Is said " - support for Defy, Defy+, Milestone 2, Bravo" so I assume that it can be installed on A953. If so , do I have to follow all the steps for Defy ? Or just to follow the standard procedure for installing a new ROM ? factory reset> RSD Lite> reboot> root ?
The reason I want to change is that wifi disconnects or does not connect to all wifi routers. With some, everything is fine, but the ratio is 50/50 %. All the new smartphones come with the "- wifi channels 12, 13, 14 enabled" which are not functional now on my A953.
This ROM MS2Ginger 4.0 has the channels operational.
Will this GB 4.0 drain more battery than actual 2.3.4 ?
If you know another option of better ROM that has those channels activated feel free to let me know; it seems that GB 4.0 is a bit too much for a milestone 2
Thank you for your time.

I see you read the Defy's thread..
This is the milestone 2 thread for ms2ginger.. Just read it, is very very clear what do have to do to install the rom..

Well,... I'm quite nob :laugh:
Thank you again. But there are no files in the download link neither google or dev-host.
EDIT: there are files , but hard to see ..

At the step number 10 , right at the point where I try to restore the MS2Ginger4.0 , from the dev link , I get "no image file found" .
ClockworkMod recovery v2.5.0.8 is installed . which should work with *.tar files ... as inside MS2Ginger4.0 there is a nandroid.md5 file and system.ext3.tar, nothing more...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169038 those are the steps I follow.
thank you for some light

I think CWM5 should work..
But yeah you're right it should work with .tar files (I think ;o)
Only restore system and did you put the complete folder on the sd?
(There should be: /clockworkmod/backup/"ms2gingerfolder"/ -> and there the .tar file)

I have to edit / downgrade sbf from attachment "downgrade_for_bl=3.rar" with MotoAndroidDepacker, according to grayed lines, then RSDlite to flash it and then find an nandroid backup of froyo system and restore it via clockwork recovery.
I tried already to flash "downgrade_for_bl=3.rar" without editing with MotoAndroidDepacker, according to grayed lines. And it worked , I got PASS, but the nandroid backup cannot be flashed onto this SBF (unedited). So i guess i have to edit SBF first , flash it , and then , flash nandroid .
Please tell me I'm not wrong
Thank you .

"Great news" phone bricked ... not sure what to do .. i tried to flash the initial SBF " MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E1014.0R_UCXMILE2GBQWRTGB_P016_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF" with CMD prompt as Administrator but no effect.
I have boot-loop with red "M" . If camera button + vol down + power pressed Moto enters the Boot recovery . The phone recognizes the USB cable when put " ready for programming" , RSD v5.6 don't.
Some ideas ?

uninstalled RSD 5.6, installed RSD 4.9 , restart windows 7 x64 , phone in boot recovery , RSD recognizes the phone , flashed "MILS2_U6_4.1-22_SIGNED_UCAMILESTONE2B1B80E1014.0R_UCXMILE2GBQWR TGB_P016_A006_HWp2a_Service1FF" all ok . This fbs is quite a resilient bacteria.
can someone provide a froyo nandroid backup for milestone 2? ... hmm ?

I know that English clearly isn't your first language, but are you aware of what you said?
A 'nob' is another word for a ****, a todger, a bell-end... a penis!!
Edit: just re-read your first post and laughed out loud!

Yeahh ..=)) I know , u can make fun of me 'cos I'm totally stupid in this field of android, sbfs, basebands , and I have no fu*** idea on how to change properly the OS. Btw , some devs also don't speak english by heart, and the tutorials are made for this "club" where ppl are familiar with terms and steps, imagine that is quite difficult to reach the target of having a functional phone following some instructions and mind****ting errors at the same time. So ,.. I'm an android looser but I'll let you know when I'll flash MS2Ginger 4.0, till then don't watch porn too much, it kills neurons )) (...is this friendly fire or am I wrong? )

why don't you update your kernel from 2.2 to 2.3? And I think 4.1.2rom is not fluency for our defy . if you have the kernel 2.3,you may update to kitcat~
update your phone . you need pay attention to the following list .
1.Use the software named RSD,the file is sbf ,sbf will change your bl,so, you need to know what's your phone bl;
2.you need to now what's your defy's lens,it's red or green;
3.you need a rom which is .zip some rom don't need to think about the kernel but someone discriminate.
o it's the first time I reply in English,if I say something wrong or you can't understand.please forgive it . haha I have a bad English. and I think I need someone to fix my grammer error。and when i speek english I don't know what I said above。。。

An advice, make Full Backup of current ROM/Firmware before doing anything with device you are willing/thinking to try.
I'm using Huawei Ascend y511. so can't do that, but i believe "CN" stands for Chinese and "EN" sure for English. regarding recovery language, for me i get two different modes, recovery and factory setting i believe. Stock recovery for my mobile is in English and the other is Chinese. But, in case you get chinese recovery, i think it can be replaced with "Custom Recovery (English)".
Once Stock/Custom ROM is installed/flashed, you sure can change language option to English or Chinese as mentioned about ROM languages (Not for recovery).
Point is that; once ROM is installed/flashed & you are satisfied with it and you also got backup of current Kitkat ROM and you find recovery is in CN. You can restore ROM to Kitkat or in case you don't care about warranty and can flash/install Custom recovery(English language) without going into CN recovery. then i think it shouldn't be a problem.

this rom work fine with my device

Honor 6 Plus (China Variant) Downgrade pack

Hi All,
As you guys know I have been finding a downgrade pack for the chinese variant and another fellow forumer has helped me to get this downgrade file. Here I am to share this file with you all.
1. This applies to people wanting to downgrade the Developer ROM EMUI4.0 to EMUI 3.1 (marshmallow to lollipop)
2. This patch applicable to:
- People who downloaded the developer ROM: http://emui.huawei.com/cn/plugin.php?id=hwdownload&mod=detail&mid=125
- PE-TL10 only Honor 6 plus
- TL10V100R1001CHNC00B260 (CHNC00) model
- People who cant read chinese
3. Flash the zip file (17kb) > Once booted up flash the stale rom (1.2gb) from emui website > you will be downgraded to lollipop again.
4. If you not sure how to flash please snoop around the forum first, the method is to put the file in SDcard and use the dialer code to flash.
Original Thread: http://club.huawei.com/thread-7073390-1-1.html
But all in chinese. Good luck downgrading. I did mine from 6.5.* dev ROM to stable b351. Hope it helps you guys too

Bug's in Developer ROM
- Has some memory editing power saving feature which some games treats as hacking software hence you cant login
- WhatsApp notification crash (Not delay, its totally no notification until you reboot your phone and it will crash again after sometime)

Stupid question: what rom am I on?

I don't use my Nexus 7 grouper very often, and I flashed a 7.1.1 ROM a few months ago, and I'd like to update to the latest version of that ROM, but can't remember which it is :laugh::silly:
The build number is:
ua_grouper-userdebug 7.1.1 NMF260 20161210 test-keys
Does someone recognise this? I checked the development forum looking for a rom with ua_grouper on the page or in the filename, but no luck.
EDIT: Problem solved, Unlegacy Android
