Even the Chinese GB retail was not rootable with Gingerbreak. I think we might have to use the workaround to Root. Flashing back to the kernel of GB chinese leak and rooting from there.

Here is the post from Endless7 on rooting. I hope we can use the same process

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1288680

Edit: But someone has to extract the kernel from German GB retail and have it in flashable zip for that.

Try what w0ndersp00n gave below first. If it works, then great..

main version (2.6.32.9) is the same, as in 2.2.2
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Even for China Retail the kernel version first part was same

something like.. 2.6.32.9-g5db7937a17140..

How is the touch response of the ROM?

Question to guys that switched to GB already:

did you wipe your data after flashing or did you just simply update the system (since this is a service sbf)?

BR,

A.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Second that. Actually third if I'm right?

Someone confirm the languages included please.
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Did you tried keyboard debounce (also included in Milestone2Toolbox)?

Also few questions for those, who already updated:

Does it contain updated bootloader? Is it possible to downgrade back to custom rom or to froyo without problems? Is it faster then stock Froyo? (because stock froyo was slow as hell, that I must flash it by custom rom first day I had it)

What about touch responsiveness? Is it better, despite the kernel version is same? Any other news? What about screen turning effect, which was quite wanted by many members here.

Has it anything new or something better, than leaked China GB?

So if this "new" update hasn't new kernel, is it for anything (in custom roms scene)?
[Milestone 2 General] maiklover:
I flash the rom by RSD Lite

Now I my phone is running the "motion" MOTO logo for a while.

But time seems a little long...

I am afraid I am fail on flashing the rom, can anyone give me some advise?

If im not wrong, kernel is same branch, but not exactly same build. Thats why it could have little fixes, but dont stop being a froyo kernel.
[Milestone 2 General] dalevieira:
After flashing sbf coming from a custom rom, reboot your phone holding "x" on the keyboard.

When the exclamation mark appear, press "@" and wipe data/factory settings
[Milestone 2 General] b0ssman:
The fact that the kernel is based on the same linux kernel version does not mean that this is the froyo's kernel - so I guess it will be useful.

BR,

[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Just got it to boot.

Did you wipe data before?? I guess you might have missed that step. Then it normally gets stuck at that point.

Power down the device. Go to Moto Stock recovery using Power up + X. Wipe data from there and reboot. Should get fixed

I can confirm that is NOT possible to flash froyo sbf after applying this GB sbf. If you do it, It doesn't even power up. I¡m stuck now on M logo but cant enter the recovery mode. When I pres the @ button on the android exclamation screen nothing happens.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Languages? Other than German and English?

@eduwp90 That's less good news... Did you try pressing both volume keys at the same time, instead of @? Because that's the combination of the new version.
[Milestone 2 General] maxxz:
1. keyboard debounce did not work for me even on OLD rom, but i will give it a try.

2.Its more smoother than Froyo was, with good improvement from UI and some goodies like ignoring only 1 notification at the time. Delivery reports.

3.Touch responsivness is as far as could tell not much different, but i will test it more on some games.

4.GB screen effect when turning phone into sleep is working like vanilla GB. And Motorola add some nice transition effects.

German

English

Spain

France

also all language with various mutation like English (UK, USA).

EDIT: Bootloader version 70.13

EDIT2: After playing Zenonia 3 for a while touch screen is responding really good, i have problems on Froyo rom with multitouch (walking and slashing with sword) not its OK.
[Milestone 2 General] eduwp90:
Ah man you saved me! I didn't remember the new combination. I was pressing @ like a dumb. Well thanks a lot.

At least this served for testing if it was possible to downgrade

---------- Post added at 07:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

Ok my overall impressions:

This gb update is like the froyo stock but with better response and with GB benefits. It feels smoother.

Note that this german version has qwertz config. Waiting for uk version ( I live in spain)
[Milestone 2 General] tezet:
So it is impossible to downgrade with SBF? I would like to know it for sure.
[Milestone 2 General] Mats01:
so, is it possible to downgrade? after doing a factory reset?
[Milestone 2 General] eduwp90:
I attempted to flash froyo sbf and it success. But then the phone dont power up and the only thing you cant do is plug to the pc and flash GB again.

Maybe is only my phone. I think someone need to confirm this.
[Milestone 2 General] Simokill:
Can i flash that rom? I'm italian... Will that rom work for me? 3g/wifi/ecc? tnx
[Milestone 2 General] tezet:
But did you made a full wipe after flashing froyo again? I suspect you may have flashed service SBF and it would boot after full wipe.
[Milestone 2 General] eduwp90:
I cannot made a wipe because the phone doesn't power up. Screen in black. cannot enter recovery or bootloader. NOTHING!

But if you connect the phone to pc the RSD recognises the phone and you are able to flash it. But as I said, you can't do nothing more.

read my other post if you want: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1369926

Anyway, someone need to confirm that because it can be only my phone
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
I guess it means that the black screen is the bootloader mode. You have to find a way to full wipe your phone.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Which RSD Version did you use to flash? I can't get it to flash...

Black screen is indeed bootloader mode. When it shows a black screen, only RSD Lite can safe you :)

I can give flashing Froyo a shot and report back.

I don't think any of the SBFs that we have had so far have the bootloader in them. The bootloader CG is probably like a filler and doesn't actually change anything. But I may be wrong. I guess someone who knows more about these can tell us.
[Milestone 2 General] Mats01:
as far as I've read, flashing GB SBF upgrades the bootloader version. Could you please check in your device? If you have 70.13, then it's the SBF.

[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
@G_I_A: That sounds good, but might not be possible, as someones referred there...

Downgrade to froyo (and custom roms) might be impossible, so flashing GB via SBF might be quite risky right now. It's better to wait for rooted nandroid backup for sure (for those, who don't want to stay on stock forever) :)

[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:

It seems, that we can install bootstrap (CWM), but it isn't possible to install any custom rom or stock froyo (downgrade is forbidden), after upgrading to GB. It seems, it update also bootloader... Maybe dev guys here will bypass it, but maybe not - so only sureness is now not to upgrade to stock GB, if you want to be able to flash custom rom in the future. If you want to be sure, you can flash custom rom in the future and you want stock GB now, wait few days for rooted nandroid backup ;)

Im not sure about phone security.

But, if froyo doesnt work, it´s probably because moto burn a fuse on cpu (on update process) that blacklist old kernel from booting.

User from Brazil, as you already know Motorola has no plans to officially release the update in our country. I would like to invite you to join me and make some noise in the official forum. I think all consumers should be entitled to receive updates that will bring improvements in the operation of their devices.

So whoever wants to support me in this cause please go to: https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/460541#460541

Thank you.
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Well, I don't care so much that Motorola won't update to GB here in Brazil. Because I'm on GB (actually MIUI) right now, and when official comes I can update to an European version. The problem is with people that don't have time/patience to bother with an unnoficial update, that should be automatic and OTA.

The thing I'm really waiting (maybe hopelessly) is for the bootloader unlock, then we can have real ROMs here (I mean, with all the rights you have).

Not sure what I missed or maybe you need to flash the original zip then update it? I got the latest zip and flashed/wiped/sbf_fixed only to sit on the flashing M screen. :-(
[Milestone 2 General] evilmtv:
Hmm by M screen you're referring to the white 'M' logo? Cause after you've installed the zip, your bootscreen (not bootanimation) should no longer be the white 'M' logo. It should come up as 'Google' with the two 'o's (humorously IMO) filled with the 'M' and CM7's logo. Or if you've flashed fixedsbf it should show as a red 'M' i think.

[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
Few findings from this GB release:

1. Multitouch bug seems to be no longer there.

2. Can't flash back Froyo using SBF. (So far no one seems to have done it successfully)

In fact, it seems that you can't even flash the Chinese GB. Even that does not boot.

3. Rooting works with DooMLoRD_v3_ROOT-zergRush.

4. Bootstrapper works.

5. Bootmenu works. (I flashed 0.8.6 v2)

6. Back up creation and Restore (only tried data) seems to work. (So CWM works great)

If we can't get custom ROMs to boot, then I may be stuck on stock :(

I hope someone can find a way around this.
[Milestone 2 General] Mats01:
What multitouch bug do you refer to?

Working on downgrade, I think it might be possible to use this GB restoring a rooted nandroid and flashing a fixed sbf (without the bootloader upgrade and new security codes). I'll keep you guys posted if something comes up
