Unable to tether

I flashed the ROM by RSD Lite for UK SBF and then did the official upgrade to GB2.3.4

Everything is fine but tethering stopped functioning. Previously with stock ROM, can do hotspot tethering, but not my PC can connect but cannot go to internet.

I did full hard reset also, still no luck.

Tethering is my primary use of the phone for my work. I will be ever grateful to you for any help to resolev this. Please help !
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
You could try rooting first and use a 3rd party tethering app.

i will flash it soon, thank you.

I was wondering - is there a way to get on official UK GB rom a 1% battery step ? Ive got used to it while back on Miui.
[Milestone 2 General] ajb12376:
You could flash Argen2Stone 3.0. - better performance than stock with some nice features (and 1% battery steps)
[Milestone 2 General] Soumya79:
Just spend the whole day today following your suggestion, still the same. My notebook and tab can connect to the phone but after that, no internet.

Pls help someone !
[Milestone 2 General] thokkalodi:
Just check if dhcp is turned on ,on your laptop and there is no static IP address set.

Also you might try resetting the apn settings on your phone (delete the current settings and get fresh setting from you carrier)

BTW maybe i'm forgot something.. is there any way to get cutom rom for A953 after this upgrade (mean gingerbread UK stock)...
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Yes it is possible.

Directly from your ROM you are able to get:

1) CM9 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1374497

2) CM7 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22220805&postcount=2371

3) MS2Ginger http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1169038

4) Argen2Stone 3.0 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1336588

Or you can downgrade back to Froyo http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497263 so you can use also MIUI (or just Froyo :) )

I would forgive Motorola delivering a GB Rom for europe later, il the bootloader is unlocked...

But I don't count on it...
[Milestone 2 General] G_I_A:
Well, Almost all mid-range phones on the same "level" of milestone 2 already got GB. I don't think the problem is really directed to MB since i just checked an Atrix before and after firmware update. Before: much likely our MS2 even with a dual core processor and double ram , after: Insanely faster...
[Milestone 2 General] Liori:
FYI, Motorola just posted on their facebook page.

"Many of you are eagerly awaiting the 2.3 upgrade for Motorola ATRIX and Motorola Milestone 2; as well as 3.2 for Motorola XOOM and we're pressing ahead to get the new software ready. Due to some additional fixes that needed to be made, we're now working towards releasing the software for Motorola XOOM at the end of October and for Motorola ATRIX and Milestone 2 in mid-November. We will let you know as soon as we are able to make the software available to you. Thanks."

---------- Post added at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------

Now I wonder whether mid-November is early Q4.
[Milestone 2 General] carlhetfield:
Well, if this is an Official Motorola Blur-Enabled Quarter, it starts exactly at the time of the update, so they were never wrong. It's always early Q4 at Motorola! :cool:

For a more serious point: It became very clear to me that, the sensible differences in performance from the Milestone 2 to the Milestone 3 (if they are both running GB) will be so little for the average public that we'll have to wait until the M3 sales get cold before we can dream about an update.

And, the more they sell them, the longer we'll wait for the update.
[Milestone 2 General] roguefan99:
The delay is not a huge shock, it happened with updates of previous phones, so I expected it for the Milestone 2. Hopefully they are sorting out the bootloader and we can all be happy.
[Milestone 2 General] oTToToTenTanz:
Anyway, mid November is a concrete timeline. I hope they really deliver it till then. Nevertheless I will buy an additional phone (maybe Galaxy Nexus) and will be happy with all the fast updates...

I seriously doubt they will work on an unlock for our bootloaders :(

[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
I'm really interested which improvements will this update brings to M2 Android scene.

I don't think, I will move back to stock ROM (because CM7 have already 2.3.7 Android), but it is good to see any progress and support of this phone. Also the possibility of unlocked bootloader sounds nice.

But I don't understand what limitations we have by locked bootloader - we have CWM via bootstrap, so we can boot any other mod (like MIUI or CM). Can we boot our kernel - is this the limitation of bootstrap? I just don't get it. Also Motorola released source code of their firmware/Android build, right? So what we missing and what we can get by unlocking bootloader? What we can't do through bootstrap?

Thanks for answer.

I was just curious about this for long time... :-)
[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
Wasn't it something about a full firmware couldn't be flashed from CWM? Like such a large file wasn't supported. So I'd venture a guess that an unlocked boot loader would make getting past that easier.
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Maybe, but what restriction(s) we have nowadays? Yes, locked bootloader slowed and complicated development in the past a lot of course - but I think it is already solved, so I just wonder what we can really get by unlocking bootloader? Can it solve any bugs, what we have now? Can it bring more roms? What can it solve for end user? Today MIUI and CM are very usable roms, with only few bugs (like 720p rec not work, hw acceleration in most video codecs not work etc.). Can it solve this bugs or not?

Btw isn't phone more secure with locked bootloader? I mean - if locked = read only, it mean we cannot completely broke/brick it?

I just want know this - I just want know what restriction brings locked bootloader in M2 today :)
[Milestone 2 General] will5:
With a locked bootloader, you can only boot a motorola signed kernel.

There is no way to use another kernel. With a custom kernel you can improve battery life, OC without add ons, improve security, fixes, tweaks, everything.

So, if we get android 4.0 on M2, it will use a 2.2 or 2.3 kernel, without all the improvements made on 4.0 kernel.

You wont have usb on the go, or use a control pad plugged in the usb port, among LOT of other things.

Cm7 and Miui works a LOT better with a custom kernel.

That´s basically the bootloader restrictions, among others on /system that makes development slower.
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Thanks a lot for response man. Thats the information what I can't clearly get until today :)

So because of this fact, I now really hope in bootloader unlock.

Thanks again!

"A note about Ice Cream Sandwich:

We are planning to upgrade DROID RAZR™ by Motorola, Motorola RAZR™, Motorola XOOM™ (including Family Edition) and DROID BIONIC™ by Motorola to Ice Cream Sandwich. We will provide more precise guidance on timing after post-public push of Ice Cream Sandwich by Google, as well as any possible additions to this list of devices."

So, GB will be the last kernel that hit M2.
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Thankfully to devs here in xda, it perhaps will not be last firmware for M2.

I really hoped, Motorola will be better in this (support) after Google bought it...

This is only thing, why I consider not to buy Motorola phone in the future - because this really makes me annoyed.

Bring on the unlocked bootloader and I am sure we will see a couple of CM versions for this device.

AFAIK as soon as a device gets CM official support it keeps getting.updated until the hardware cannot cope woth the OS anymore (cqm.be wrong about this though)

im just wondering whats the big deal about gingerbread? what does it add to the phone which it doesnt already do. i bought a fone with froyo and thats what i got. my purchase was based on its performance using 2.2. if they upgrade it then great, if they dont then its no big deal. ill still be able to text, make phone calls, use apps and browse the web as i have done quite happily for the last 11 months.

when gingerbread comes out does that mean my phone will be three times quicker, send text messages for free, walk the dog and make my cups of coffee? lol. or will it do exactly the same as it does now but with a slightly different looking interface and a couple of extra features? the majority of which i probably wont use or even notice..

just did a quick google...and it looks like my second guess is correct lol.
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Okay, you bought it with that you are going to use the stock firmware (with it's ****ty perfomance)? So why are you here on xda, when all you need is the phone as you get it when you bought it? Why are you there on dev phorums, when all you need and want is stock firmware ****ty perfomance, because it is usable for text messages and calling?

New kernel brings better features, it's faster, than older version and brings up bugfixes.

And btw - we all expect this update, because of possibility of unlocked bootloader...
[Milestone 2 General] kar200:
+1 I own a MS2 and a Galaxy S and I have not used my MS2 yet (except to upgrade firmware)

I can tell you that stock gingerbread on i9000 is faster than froyo MS2 and cm7 is a LOT faster than stock on the i9000.

I have not tried cm7 on MS2 so I cannot comment about that.

As anonymous said just give us the unlocked bootloader (even without GB) amd you will see how our devs here will turn it into a different phone.

Apparently ICS source code will be released this month. If Moto releases the unlocked bootloader you will see ICS on your phone before motorolla even announces it for their phones.

[Milestone 2 General] DreadPirateDan:
Another + 1 to annon.

To sum up the crappiness of stock froyo - you can't even use the lock slider without lagging like a boss, let alone anything else.

I dread the thought of having to experience stock ms2 froyo ever again. I'm even pretty antsy about the way it performs with the roms we now have, just wish the was a true custom rom, not just leaks and ports :(

I don't agree. ICS devices besides the Galaxy Nexus will be released starting 2012. The source code was released yesterday. How ****** are you to even think that it's possible to upgrade a device within one day?

And no, don't expect an official update to ICS by then for the Milestone 2. And all just stop b*tchin'. If you don't like it, there's plenty of other manufacturers putting smartphones out there.

Let me remind you: HTC's Desire had an official Gingerbread promised, but you're only able to get it as dev, with risk of bricking your device and loosing functionality. Be happy Motorola actually will update the Milestone 2 officially.
[Milestone 2 General] will5:
The funny thing, is that once is released, we will see that build is from 2 or 3 months ago, and they were holding the release for pure speculation.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
That might be true, but the fact remains: it is IMPOSSIBLE to deliver ICS for ANY device out right now. People should stop nagging about getting Gingerbread right now, because the ICS source was PARTIALLY(!) released yesterday(!).

If people want to troll about Motorola, they at least should get the facts right.

And of course it'll piss me off if Motorola doesn't come through this time, but in that case: lesson learned.

[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Motorola PR section must be completely stupid, I just don't understand their strategy steps. Motorola have good products, but kills it with ****ed PR (they are lying to customers and don't share many of informations) and software (for instance slow stock fw and locked bootloader). Soo many angry customers because of this - I heard a lot of ppl saying, they will not buy Motorola phone in the future... Motorola must be blind and deaf...

And if Google really bought Motorola, why they don't change this - in opposite to Motorola, Google have brilliant PR...
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
Completely true. Still, even with the acquisition by Google, Motorola will stay as independent as always. Google confirmed that many times.

And it's true about the software. Sad but so true. Anyhow, the RAZR is actually unlockable, given you bought it off-contract.

I don't believe the bootloader will be unlocked. If it were the case, Atrix owners should be very happy right now.

Anyhow, let's hope for the best, because the ATRIX release is a good sign.
[Milestone 2 General] will5:
Yep, release is inminent :)

Dont think it will have the option to unlock bootloader, but hey, it´s better than nothing :D
[Milestone 2 General] joey_sfb:
Because Motorola market the phone as upgradeable to Gingerbread like the rest of the Phone Manufacturers. Just that other did deliver it e.g HTC and Samsung while Motorola is dragging its feet.

Anyway, i am happy with Froyo but if Motorola still want to sell phone i think its would be prudent for them to keep in pace with the rest or lower their phone price to Nokia Symbian level. Nobody buy nokia these days as they perceive it as low priority support.

Hope you are not serious? The current Android is ICS officially now and Moto just started rolling out an outdated version!

Don't know why they even bothered using an open source platform to then spend heaps of money locking it with their stupid bootloader.

I made a huge mistake buying the milestone 2 but Vodafone Australia had them on special when I called for the upgrade. I also was on google typing "Milestone 2 CM7" when I was on the phone finalising the contract and I had a few result on google but unfortunately they were for the first version.

Last time buying moto for my case except if Google makes big changes in their way of doing things.
