[Milestone 2 General] sminatore:
still nothing ?? :(

is there at least a way to say to my phone to search in the italian market, a way to set italian prediction for keyboard or italian for swype ?
[Milestone 2 General] guuhzin:
YES! there's a way to search in the italian Market (now called Google Play Store)

All you need to do is (you'll need a WiFi network to do this):

1. turn off your phone and remove the SIM Card (I dont know if it's really needed, just writing the steps I did to access US Market)

2. turn on your phone without the SIM Card

3. search the web for a proxy server of the country you want. It also should work with an VPN connection*

4. go to your WiFi settings (on your phone, obviously) and tap and hold over the network you're connected to and choose 'Modify network'

5. check 'Use proxy server' and enter the proxy server address you've chosen and the server port in the appropriated inputs and tap 'Save'

6. now go to Application Manager, tap 'Market' (or 'Google Play Store'), stop it and clear its data (note that you'll need to configure it again, like PIN code, automatic app updates, etc)

7. open the market and accept the terms and see if it's the market of the country you chosen. If isn't, repeat the step 6 and try again after a few minutes. When you start to browse in the market of the country you want, you can proceed to step 8

8. now you can turn off your phone and insert your SIM card again, then turn on your phone and remove the proxy settings from wireless network. The market of the country you chosen should work, even without the proxy settings, 'till you clear the market app data again

As I already said, it worked for me when I tried to access the US market.

Good luck!

Notes:

- this should work with every country! Just choose a proxy server from the country you want and follow the steps.

- * if you would like to use a VPN, DONT follow the steps 4 and 5. Go to Wireless & network settings > VPN settings instead and follow the UI guide steps.

———————————————————

EDIT: I completely forgot that you're in Italy and your ISP already have an italian IP address (oh, dont you say hahaha :D), so you dont need to use a proxy server or VPN. Just follow the steps 1-2 and 6-8 and see what happens. I dont know if it'll work. What I know is that it works when you try to access the market of a country different of yours.

Sorry for the mess :o
[Milestone 2 General] sminatore:
it doesnt work, when i open the market i just says me if i agree condition to use it, but then it load always the brazilian market
[Milestone 2 General] nicofff:
bootloader version

Pretty sure it's a long shot, but i'll ask anyway.

I have the 2.3.6 personal ROM (flashed while it was in the official tech support). Looking in the firmwares superthread, it says that this ROM uses the 70.13 bootloader, but mine uses the 70.12.

Does the no root, no downgrade apply also to this bootloader. Or does it allow me to try something else. I've already tried all rooting methods around.

I'll be willing to try some downgrade, root methods, if they don't brick the phone.

Otherwise i'll just sit around and wait for an exploit to surface.
[Milestone 2 General] sminatore:
hi everybody! are there still no news about how to root 2.3.6 vivo? .......

[Milestone 2 General] fourl6:
Im going to play dumb and send my milestone 2 back under warranty, its only 6 months old and after trying to install a custom GB rom i bricked my phone and the only sbf file that brought it to life was the Argentina Personal M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27.

So iv flashed the stock optus sbf to the phone Australia Optus MILS2_U6_2.2.19 (it just shows a blank screen) and will send it back.
[Milestone 2 General] felipechaulet:
Hi guys,

I've the same problem, but I read on a forum that if your M2 with Vivo is unlocked for any operators, it accept a retail rom over the Vivo rom. Also, my M2 does not have the R01 of the death. In fact, I don't know, my system is:

System Version

45.2.2710.A953.Vivo.en.BR

Build Number

4.5.2-51_M2L-27

But, I also have:

Revision Number:

01

So, I don't know is the R01 have to come in the build version or this Revision Number also applies.

Anyway. My phone is unlocked, I'm using Tim operator right now.

I bought my M2 this week and it comes with Froyo from Vivo. Then, as I didn't know about this thing from Vivo rom, I updated from the Motorola software Update. But, in the Motorola website, I've selected the Retail version, to make de update, and still, my phone was updated with the Vivo version. At least I think so, because I've tried to root the phone with all of the possible ways and didn't works.

So, I'm wondering, if my phone is unlocked, can I install a retail rom over the Vivo rom? I have the retail file to make the upload, but I don't have the Vivo file, so I'm afraid to make any test, because if something goes wrong, I have to put the Vivo rom back to the phone. Then, if somebody have the Vivo sbf, please, send me a link.

Thanks
[Milestone 2 General] MaxK47:
Try it and tell us if it works. Look in http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 for the MD5, and download the correct rom from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php
[Milestone 2 General] felipechaulet:
Ok, I'll try

but, something is wrong, in the first link, the md5 to the Vivo rom is FB3CE24D905539FC4DD9DBEAEFAAE733

and in the second one, this md5 is of the file M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBRETBRB125LA001.0R_STABLE45LAMILETRETBR_P007_A019_M001_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz

that appears to be a retail rom.

This last page have a Vivo rom M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_R01_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBVIVBRB125LA003.0R_STABLE45LAMILETVIVBR_P011_A030_M002_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz, I'll download both and try.

Later I'll post the result
[Milestone 2 General] sminatore:
mmm i haven't understand....are there 2 vivo rom , R0 and R01 and the last one doesnt let us install other roms instead with the r0 we can install other rom?

is it possible install R0 if i have R01 ?
[Milestone 2 General] felipechaulet:
I'm lost about this.

When I plugged my phone in RSD, it shows a R01 Vivo rom. So, I didn't try to install another rom over the Vivo rom.

But, in fact, appears that are two retail roms. And, one of them is R01 and the another one isn't. Look to the names:

This is the R01 one

M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_R01_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBRETLAB125LA003.0R_STABLE45LAMILETRETLA_P005_A028_M001_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz

And this is the another one

M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBRETBRB125LA001.0R_STABLE45LAMILETRETBR_P007_A019_M001_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz

So, the question is, none of this roms can be installed over the Vivo/Claro/Personal rom?

Another thing. The Vivo rom cannot be rooted because the Vivo carrier solved some security issues in the rom, and with this fixes, the root cannot be made. Then, this R01 retail rom is just a retail rom with the security issues fixed? Or a Vivo (security fixed) without the Vivo stuff (I know, is the same thing)?

I'm gonna ask something. I don't know about exchange roms in Milestone 2/Droid 2, so I was wondering, there is somebody in the forum with more experience about this to try and tell us if works?

I'm afraid of switch the roms and my phone does not work again. That is the reason that I didn't yet.

And in "if works" I mean, if it is possible to put one of this retail roms over the Vivo rom and make root on it?

And going further, if this is possible, is also possible put a non-official rom, like CM7/CM9 or Miui?
[Milestone 2 General] felipechaulet:
Well, I tried.

And didn't work.

The RSD says that there is an internal error, and I just toke of the battery, putted back in and turned on the phone, and there was the Vivo rom. I tried with the two retail rom.

So, we just need to wait for somebody really good at this unlock phone thing to find the solution for this.

At least one thing this vivo rom is good (I know, sarcasm), even if I try to brick my phone, the rom don't let me do it... :p
[Milestone 2 General] Stranyer:
Sorry to hear that, i was having faith on you :/

Posible new rooting method

There is a (posible) new rooting method over here. We could use a few hands doing some testing, to see if it works with our device.

And it would be great if someone could post it over in the development section, so it'll get more attention ;)

[Milestone 2 General] tamas.dem:
Any progress?

Hi All,

first my question: any luck rootin the Latin-American ROMs?

I had the Asia retail on my phone (in Hungary, wtf?) and it was 2.2. I could root it, all was fine, installed CM7 but I forgot Google apps. For that I used Droid bootstrapper to get into bootloader and the phone died (bootloop, etc.) I had to flash a ROM and I used the Vivo ROM. Now I'm stuck with it, can't root it, lost the warranty and I have a huge Vivo logo at boot :(

So... can we root this ROM at least or any way to install the GB ROM?

Thanks!
[Milestone 2 General] stark_br:

Since nothing seems to work, and the 'new' root method is useless without a formal image, I just took it to my operator and they reformatted my phone within 3 days.
[Milestone 2 General] Tschirno:
My personal conclusion

currently there is apparently no solution to get on the Motorola A953 Milestone 2 with software version 2.3.6 R01/R02 root.

- No downgrade possible

- All major Roottools not work

- The version of the CG37 partition does not work

Possibly there is not the correct file for MS2? (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1606353)

- A kernel downgrade is not because the boot loader is version 4 =

(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1497263)

- An attempt to have to pack the file (CG39.smg/Systemimage) from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6 does not work for me (Boot logo is there, but I can not get into the recovery)

Wait? Is there not a Motorola developer who wants to help us?

Solution for GT-P1000L

Hello people! Sorry for my bad english.

I have a solution for 2.3.6 Vivo BR version, official update. I've made on a GT-P1000L 2.3.6 P1000LVIJR2. I know it's not for M2, but can be a clue to find the solution or people with GT-1000L.

Just warning: I won't take responsability for bricked phones. Only tested on a GT-P1000L with official VIVO brazilian update..

For the procedure, will be necessary 2.3.3 kernel of HumberOS.

It's hosted on 4shared and you can find in the HumberOS site. Since I don't have 10 posts to post the link, you can google it "Odin-Heimdall-HumberOS-Kernel-20111102".

Just do the kernel change through Odin or CwM. On Odin make sure to check "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time". After the change, it will stay on the logo screen for a good long time (mine takes around 30 min), with some voice (I forget her name) saying somethings that I couldn't listen. And after that, will reboot and you must have root access - or not, I don't remember if I used SuperClickOne after that.

Ps: For those with troubles to do a factory reset after the change, you must boot the phone on recovery mode [Power + Volume(+)]. Than go to:

Wipe menu -> wipe data / factory reset

Wipe menu -> wipe cache

And for last

Wipe menu -> wipe dalvik cache.

I think that the procedure can be done in both versions, P1000L and P1000. The only difference between these versions is the TV, a hardware difference.

Since this kernel can grant root acess in this rom, maybe int other ROMs it can be done with other modified Kernels.

No problems using the 2.3.3 Kernel on my 2.3.6 Vivo BR ROM, it's been almost a month. Screenshots on attachment.
[Milestone 2 General] n3ptun3:
Milestone 2 users cannot change their kernel like that, and worse, to another phone model's kernel.

Repair

Hey guys, i took my phone into optus to be repaired as it was still under warranty.

i put the Aus Optus firmware on it (so it doesnt charge/turn on etc.)

when i took it in i just said it wont charge or turn on, didnt mention that i put this firmware on it lol.

i got it back today, the repair details say

Replace main PCB.

Inspect and chemically clean contacts.

Upgraded software Restore factory settings.

Test Unit OK.

anyway the bill came to $0.00 so im happy.

I use wireless tether on my sense based custom rom and lately I've been doing a lot of tethering, when I'm in a fixed place like my hotel last week, I got great speeds 6-10 mbps on LTE, but if I'm moving, say pn a bus like I am now or the the backset of a taxi, speeds drop drastically whether on a 4G or 3G connection I get approximately 200 - 400 kbps, I understand that speeds while moving with a mobile broadband connection will be slower, but I'm interested in what speeds others get and their rom / tether app used. 400kbps just seems excessively slow for 4G even though I'm moving.

It may be the tethering app just did a test on 4G and got 9.5 down and 3 up, interested in others experiences

already solved, took my laptop out of power saving mode and I got 16 down and 4 up, it must be a setting in power managerment / wifi settings
