After flashing with UK retail gb(1) tried to go back to uk retail froyo (2), but my phone did not show anything on display after successfully uploaded sbf. So i pulled out battery, pressed volDown + shutter and placed battery in, display remined black. But when I connected it to PC, and tried to flash with sbf_flash and (linux version of RSDlite) and (1) - it succed.

So i`m now back on uk retail gb (and i was afraid,my phone bricked)

Try MS2Ginger2.1 with new kernel.

Every Milestone 2 user should read about the no downgrade after Gingerbread update. [http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=966537] Defy has the same problem.
[Milestone 2 General] b0ssman:
I had a look at my friend's MM2 with the UK GB soft and it looks like the multitouch bug (the "draw two parallel lines and release one finger" bug) is still there (though seems to occur less often).

I'm using MIUI ROM. My phone's still logo M ( Black 2.2) don't boot to HS After flash 2.2.

I tried GB 2.3 OF, but logo M ( red 2.3) still don't boot to HS.
[Milestone 2 General] Endless7:
according stock froyo test. the euro kernel may not be compatible with ch GB.
[Milestone 2 General] will5:
Well, let´s see if tezet could make a cm7 with 2.3 euro kernel. If no easy boot is found, we are going back to the old days of m2...
[Milestone 2 General] Mats01:
it looks like the update is nothing but useless. luckily, kernel is still rootable and CWM works just fine.
[Milestone 2 General] kethvin:
which GB version do i use to upgrde my phone??

im from us phone info :

system version: version.62.2.16.a953.retail.GB

baseband version : epu93st2_u_03.02.00

kernal version 2.6.32.9-gd2377ebw00168@ca25rhe82 #1

build number mils2_u6_2.2.16
[Milestone 2 General] will5:
Yep, that´s not so bad, lets wait to see if 2nd init works with this "new" kernel.

@kethvin. You can use the sbf you want. It´s all the same. In case your keyboard is qwerty type, use UK sbf. And learn to use milestone2toolbox. All this sbf uses the same 3G frequencies. If your area doesnt work with 1900/2100Mhz, you´ll have to change this with m2toolbox.
[Milestone 2 General] jipjoy:
Came from Argen2Stone 2.0. Now everything runs just fine except the shutter sound on other camera apps (i.e. Vignette and Lightbox) that keeps making the sound even I set it to off, seems like it comes from the OS because if I turn the shutter sound on in the app then the sound would come twice when taking a photo.

Another question, how can I get the 1% incremental battery status? This 10% thing is really annoying and always bothers me. Thanks very much.

[Milestone 2 General] santiemanuel:
Yes it works. I updated the init binary from previous 2.2.2 to actual GB UK

[Milestone 2 General] Mats01:
wasn't the kernel the same from version build UK 2.4.24?
[Milestone 2 General] Pietchaki:
So, instead of unlocking bootloader, they updated the locker...

seems like I'll stay in MIUI from Will5... :D

As I (probably don't) know, the custom roms like MIUI and CM7 for M2 use the froyo kernel to bypass the locking, am I right?

so the same process could be used to boot a custom rom in a phone updated to stock GB?

I feel sorry to all the people who updated their phones to test and are now stuck in stock GB...
[Milestone 2 General] Jimb008:
I think i shall wait for the devs to work something out before attempting an update. People must be crazy going to GB not knowing if they can go back to the custom cm7 / MIUI
[Milestone 2 General] n3ptun3:
I don't think we're gonna have any issues with custom roms for this release. Since I jumped the gun and flashed it before I knew I couldn't flash back to froyo, I started poking around last night.

I got the rom deodexed and booting with Bootmenu 1.0.8 + 2nd-init + ClockworkMod 5 and a few modules including overclock and no-delay multitouch from tezet's CM7 source. Once I get back from work I'll start pushing custom startup scripts and some other mods.
[Milestone 2 General] G_I_A:
We'll be waiting xD
[Milestone 2 General] Mats01:
which soft did you use to deodex? I'll be very interested in your system dump (not necessarily the mods, just GB system dump.) i started to compile some CM7 apps again, just to test if I can use them in new GB.
[Milestone 2 General] diskman01:
colors

Hi all...

thank you for the heads up on the new version of android....

I was wondering if there was a way to revert back to the Froyo color sceme?... I not really happy with the white background/black writing...

I'd much prefer the old black background/white writing

any suggestions?
[Milestone 2 General] n3ptun3:
The latest xUltimate, version 2.3.3, was able to deodex both framework and app without any hickups.
[Milestone 2 General] Mats01:
i'll try that. thanks for the data.

how long does it take in GB, aproximately?

[Milestone 2 General] G_I_A:
Thank you, santi! But can we go back to the custom roms after installing this one? And what is the procedure to do so?
[Milestone 2 General] nesraz:
rsdlite with the flash did, but it does not advance to the phone is opened. motorola icon they will not turn on after. I've tried many versions the same.

What can I do.

Thank you.
[Milestone 2 General] nganlang:
This problem can fix.

1. Enter Stock recovery by: Put both POWER + X -> put together Vol + and Vol -.

2. Factory reset ( wipe data) and wipe cache partition

3. Done...
[Milestone 2 General] Linuxser:
Wiping data is the only way to advance. Ctrol X on boot and volume button later

But you will risk your back up. I have found unable to restore even ms2ginger oldie backup. :p
[Milestone 2 General] nesraz:
I can not enter recovery. is an exclamation mark.
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
At the exclamation mark screen, press vol up + vol down together.

[Milestone 2 General] Linuxser:
This worked like a charm at least for me after flash official 2.3.4.

Root 2.3.4 with superoneclick and install boostrap recovery.

override 2.3.4 with MS2.1.

WIPE all

Boot

And if your data is a nandroid made with some version old than CWM5.0.3.1, boot MS2.1 by first time, reboot & wipe by 2nd time, recovery data only using CWM5.0.3.1.
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
I don't quite understand.

Were you able to install MS2Ginger 2.1 (with new kernel) or were you able to downgrade to MS2 stock Froyo??

Edit: Just read your other post in MS2Ginger thread. Guess you are talking about installing MS2Ginger successfully.
[Milestone 2 General] Linuxser:

[Milestone 2 General] eltumbafelix:
My bootloader does not change remains the same 70.12, that means I can do downgrade?in the future may be installed CM9 on this ROM?
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
Nope. It doesn't depend on bootloader version, because I have 70.13 and I only had stock Froyo, I did not update to GB...

It looks GB update burns that eFuse thing or something...

[Milestone 2 General] KickButts:
How things going?

Do we still get stuck on stock after flashing the SBF?

We're almost at the end of the last quarter and still no OTA update for us here at Brazil.
[Milestone 2 General] w0ndersp00n:
It's indeed still impossible to downgrade. There however seems to be a possibility to boot custom ROMs with the new Gingerbread.

Anyhow, if you didn't do the upgrade (yet), then I'd suggest negative. There are quite some better options in the Dev section here, including some based on Motorola's original ROM.
[Milestone 2 General] Linuxser:
Hello,

Did you tweak something else? I just bypassed blur setup.

Battery improvement to 2.3.4 is quite good. You can give a day to full work.

I had official couple hours but not enough to test. I have pump yours before going to work and phone is still at 80% after 10 hours. :cool:
[Milestone 2 General] kyngoflyonz:
hi all. Im a noob and would like to know where i can find step by step instructions on how to flash from stock froyo to stock gingerbread. i have searched all over theese forums and came up with nothing. any help woud be appreciated.
[Milestone 2 General] hometow1:
cant downgrade,ai.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
same although not a noob. how do I go updating froyo to gingerbread?
[Milestone 2 General] ZyrByt:
Here is an tutorial.

Instead of "3. Plug in your phone. Power it off and hold CAMERA + VOL DOWN" You can simply press and hold up arrow on slide keyboard while turning on the phone. It`s easier than holding together pwr button, camera and voldown :)
[Milestone 2 General] lampwarez:
Did you tried to install your phone in a new pc (maybe a virtual one)?

While the usb does not work, try something like "samba filesharing" in your phone (if you have wireless), it's not perfect, but at least you will access your files.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Would there be any difference between UK gingerbread and Australia? (Not including Service Provider crap) I mean would baseband, languages or system be any different. I think both countries use GSM 900/2100.
[Milestone 2 General] Kangburra:
I have a UK ROM, not the newest though and where the dollar sign should be gives a pound sign, that's the only thing I had an issue with.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Ok I've flashed the latest UK ROM. First impressions -> totally mindblown.

It's pretty much what I want. Just need to fix up '$' on keyboard. Am slightly disappointed at lockscreen. Looks the same as Froyo, was hoping for a cooler looking lockscreen.

Otherwise, this is a good ROM...
[Milestone 2 General] Maruzko:
Hi MegaBubbletea,

If official GB for AsiaPac region doesnt come by the end of this week I will most likely do the same as you and flash the UK ROM (already downloaded it).

I've never re-flashed the phone before. Which process did you use?

This

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1032372

or this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=914071

And, have you found a way to fix the pound sign coming up when pressing '$' ?

Thanks,

[Milestone 2 General] Endless7:
Maybe you should wait a little for santi or walter79 make a nandroid backup for it. There is no downgrade if you flash the full sbf.
[Milestone 2 General] Maruzko:
So just to be clear, if I flash from current AsiaPac to UK:

AsiaPac 2.2.2 --> UK 2.3.4

and then if the official AsiaPac 2.3.4 finally gets release, will I be able to re-flash to that ?

UK 2.3.4 --> AsiaPac 2.3.4
[Milestone 2 General] Endless7:
i can't tell but probably not be able to do that.

it depend on the cdt info/version in official Asiapac,which is unknown to us for now.

edit: an example is that after flashing full euro gb, you can't switch to ch gb.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Yes I have found a fix. I cant exactly remember the thread name but its in Milestone 2 General section. Perhaps try keywords such as hardware, keyboard, dollar and pound.

EDIT: Found it dont worry about the first steps, Ive already uploaded the fixed file there.

yeah, the CM9 still having bugs a lot. but they are working hard on it, and we not can say it of motorola on the gingerbread. only god knows when the official gb will be ready.
[Milestone 2 General] Maruzko:
Haven't tried the UK ROM yet but thanks for highlighting the pound to '$' keyboard fix.

According to Endless7 from a previous post in this thread you may not be able to flash the Australia ROM since you already have the UK 2.3.4 ROM installed.

Correct me if I'm wrong here.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
So..how do we know if the Australian ROM is out? I've flashed the UK one so I can't check via Motorola Software Update and I can't downgrade (which I plan not to).

[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Try typing 'su' to get into SuperUser mode. Your phone needs to be rooted. If this method doesn't work then you will have to use 'adb shell' on PC and type 'su'.

Has anyone else noticed the update provides a new CPU scaling governor in SetCPU, i just spotted it yesterday, 'performance' it's called. Definitely wasnt there for me before the 2.3.4 update. Got my MM2 running down at 800Mhz and it's extremely snappy. Chuffed i am.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Hmmm 800Mhz. Noticed any improvement in battery life?
[Milestone 2 General] Gogz_:
Superficially yes, only put it on yesterday morning and it only hit was on 90% til yesterday evening then down to 30% this morning after internetting, nightime textings and bluetooth a2dp. Need to do some more thorough testing.

It certainly hasn't struggled being down at 800 though, I've found that this is a very capable phone. My HD2 work phone is similarly specced and struggles to multitask (bluetooth audio, navigation and incoming message + tasker profles = system bogs right down and collapses) same goes with a desire Z i was testing for a while. Never had that problem with my MM2, though i've yet to have the same conditions at 800Mhz.
[Milestone 2 General] MegaBubbletea:
Did you do any vsel tweaking or just settings SetCPU profile to 800MHz?
[Milestone 2 General] Gogz_:
Not at all, which leads me to question whether or not the apparently slower decrease in battery life is just a placebo effect. As said i need more testing, should give it a good hammering this week. Last time i messed with Vsel my phone conked out so i've left it well alone!
