[Milestone XT720 General] lupinkor:
I am the (unfortunate ?) owner of a Korean Motorola XT720 "Motoroi". And I have to say I am very unsatisfied with the general experience this phone provides.

The ROM is slow, and really chaotic. It's very hard to get your stuff done with this phone, as it randomly crashes or FC important applications. The general feeling the phone gives is of slowness, and is not very convenient to use.

What is strange is that on paper, the phone specs are really nice and I would really appreciate to use it under a faster system.

First, I would like to ask XT720 owners : Is it the same experience for you ?

This is what I tried (thanks to this website) : Rooting the phone + Milestone overclock. The phone is slighty faster at 800 Mhz, but still lags awfully. Putting 1Ghz makes the phone very unstable and heats a lot.

Is changing to Singapore ROM will help ? Can I use Singapore ROM with Korean carrier (SK Telecom) ?

I regret having bought this phone. Unless Motorola fixes this with a nice, well done, fit for the phone, Froyo release, I will never buy any Motorola product.
[Milestone XT720 General] jakelights:
I am also a korean motoroi owner. At some points i agree with you. The phone is slow. Some tricks don't work that works on other xt720 model. But on the other side, if you know how to tweak, your phone's gonna be fast ( not that really fast). I oc my motoroi up to 1ghz without problems. Sometimes up to 1.2. Btw i understand your situation, i'll post some links of what tweaks i use on my phone.

Btw my friend has glaxy s. And my comment is. Galaxy s faster a very little.
[Milestone XT720 General] jakelights:
Here is one of tricks i apply my friend. If you are not in korea you can flash with europe firmware, that changes the cpu to 750mhz by default. But if you are using your phone and you are in korea. You gonna lose the service. Anyway i hope it helps you. I spend a lot of times digging some forums for this phone. I guess that's the best start.

[Milestone XT720 General] jakelights:
Anyway. To all korean motoroi holders. Please post what you've researxh here. It would be a big help. Have a nice day...
[Milestone XT720 General] svenhenrik:
I own a Korean Motoroi, and I think it's pretty much ok. I have some issues:

1) Default home is slow.

2) Browser doesn't automatically wrap text to fit zoom.

3) Only 256 MB.

I'm using Launcher Pro, so #1 is not a problem anymore. I'm currently on a EU ROM, where #2 is working as expected, but the light and acceleration sensors don't seem to work. Not much I can do about #3, but I *think* I have a little more free memory on the EU ROM.

If you haven't upgraded your Korean Motoroi to 41R without SKAF, I suggest doing it ASAP. I did experience some crashes on the original ROM, but nothing on 41R.
[Milestone XT720 General] lupinkor:
Very sorry to bother you, but :

1/ when you upgrade to another ROM, do you lose your service with SK Telecom ?

2/I am pretty much newbie in the phones world. What is 41R without SKAF ?

thanks a lot for your reply.
[Milestone XT720 General] jakelights:
1. I mean when i install differrent rom execpt for korean sbf. There is no service. Maybe SK telecom blocked it.

2. I dont know about 41r. Im using 39r.
[Milestone XT720 General] jakelights:
My big advice is you should update to 2.1. Maybe you still using the 2.0.1 version.
[Milestone XT720 General] svenhenrik:
No bother :)

1: Yes, I lost SKT service. I think SKT is blocking somehow, because the radio still seemed to be working and I could see both KT and SKT networks. I moved out of Korea a couple of weeks ago though, so I don't have any service at all right now. I've read that someone successfully unlocked a Korean XT720, but I haven't tried it myself yet:

http://www.chinalife.kr/blog/?p=364

2: SKAF is SK Application Framework, also known as "all the crap SKT put on the phone". After a lot of outrage from users, SKT now provides a way to flash a ROM without SKAF. It hasn't been pushed OTA though, so you have to manually update. To update to 41R, you can download the sbf from here, if you trust it:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=7N9U46XJ

Alternatively, you can upgrade using the Korean Motorola website:

http://www.mymotorola.co.kr/product/PrdRsdMain.aspx

If you don't read Korean, I'd go with just flashing the sbf, the whole procedure is in Korean. You have to pick between SKAF and non-SKAF versions. There is talk on Korean message boards that there will be a 44R soon, which will not be the 2.2 upgrade, but I haven't really followed the boards lately.
[Milestone XT720 General] lupinkor:
The 44R is out, and sets the processor to 600mhz by default and supports wifi n, and crashes less. For Korean users like me you can do the upgrade through the page svenhenrik mentioned in his post.

EDIT : This is the last update before Froyo release next month.
[Milestone XT720 General] NinjaX96:
Hello!!! I also have the Korean xt720. I just rooted it yesterday and also overclocked it. I have notice a very big difference between when it was stock and now. As I was read through the post I had a few questions.

1. Is the 44R out on the Motorola web site? Because I downloaded the 41R from the link svenhenrik posted.

Could you please tell me how to go about flashing the 41R or the 44R without SKAF.

2. Are there custom rom that works with the Korean xt720?

3. What are some good themes to use with the xt720?

My phone is currently has Universal androot. V1.6.2 beta 5

Milestone overclock: Overclocked to 1GHz @56vsel

Setcpu: Set to 1 GHz and 250 MHz range.

Titanium Backup.

Since I have only had the phone rooted and at with these setting for a day, I can't how well it’s working out right now.
[Milestone XT720 General] hassler:
1. Dunno :)

2. As I saw so far there's no custom ROM for XT720

3. You can download another Laucher and their themes on MARKET

I've been used 1GHz @56vsel for quite sometimes (2 weeks), nothing happened so far so I think it's good to run at that speed
[Milestone XT720 General] stansfu:
Anyone ever has this problem? No INCOMING / OUTGOING Calls & SMS.

Everything else work fine, except the PHONE Function itself.

Inserted the SKT Sim and the phone manage to detect the CELL# and OBTAIN SKT Network signal. However when attempted to DIAL, NO RINGTONE and SIGNAL just drop out unexpectedly and CALL FAILED.
[Milestone XT720 General] NinjaX96:
Not sure about this. I know when I took the phone to Thailand I got signal but couldn't use it because of the type of contract I have.

I was looking at App2SD and was woundering if using this will free up my internal memory. Right now I am close to using it all up. If I use this will the app run form the sd so that i can download more apps? Any info will be great. Thanks!! :cool:
[Milestone XT720 General] Greediest:
The page is in Korean and the translation by google is pretty much confused. Have you tried this method for yourself? or, can you please, or anyone here explain in english what i have to do to unlock my sk telecom xt720 and make it work with any carrier?

Thanks :)
[Milestone XT720 General] stansfu:
Thanks for the reply. I don't think it has to do with the type of contract because i'm using SKT SIM and I'm covered by the Network in the area (s. korea). However, i did recently discovered that if the 3G signal is available, then i can make INCOMING/OUTGOING CALLs and SMS. Without the 3G signal then the problem persist. Don't know why even though the phone was able to pick up the regular SKT network service.
[Milestone XT720 General] NinjaX96:
From what I understood and read on that page is, that the unlock code for the Motoroi is 16 digits not 8. The web page doesn't tell you anything on how to unlock but going to the pay sites for unlock codes. The author wanted to let people know about the 16 digit unlock code.
[Milestone XT720 General] Greediest:
NinjaX96, thanks, will try to purchase this code since there are no other ways available.
[Milestone XT720 General] NinjaX96:
Greediest, Your welcome and let me know if you have any luck with unlocking your phone. I would also like to unlock the phone once I leave Korea.
[Milestone XT720 General] forbrand:
Is there anybody met problem with sending sms by korean xt720? I can't send sms but can recieve. And i can't apply USSD commands because dialer put "-" into command. Can you help me resolve that problems?
[Milestone XT720 General] dateno1:
you will can change the language at setting :)
[Milestone XT720 General] NinjaX96:
Not sure if you received an answer for this but I may know why.

Do you have the spam block function on? If so you may have block a number that blocks SMS's. I had block a 010 number and could not get any SMS from people just MMS. I would check that.

Now for the "-" command. From the research I did I found out that the phone is locked down and will need to be rooted. But even then I am not really sure how to unlock the phone to use other carriers.

Let me know if you have any success in this because I am also trying to lock my phone.

[Milestone XT720 General] forbrand:
Thanks for your answer. The spam blocking is off and i didn't even turn it on. I didn't write that sms sent before i put network access point. When network started working sms automaticly stoped sending. I did logcat from adb but didn't met any warnings from there. I don't know whats wrong. Tried to change phone.apk into europian version but have lost signal and i had to reinstall firmware. The same problem was when i've changed files from \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default directory into europian. In Korean firmware there is system/skt folder with files which has .res extansion maybe i should change some settings there? My phone is rooted by universal androot and after you can install root explorer and you will able to change some system files.
[Milestone XT720 General] dateno1:
if you lost 3G signal or can't connect

you will need to recovery radio file(4files) in system partition from your original country rom
[Milestone XT720 General] dateno1:
and you will also need some apks too

Contacts,ContactsProvider,phone

radio file list is

File_Audio,File_Audio2,File_GSM,File_Seem_Flex_Tables from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default and libril-moto-umts-1.so from /system/lib
[Milestone XT720 General] forbrand:
I know about that files but i decided to stay on Korean ROM because Moto will relieze Korean Froyo. So now I should resolve sms sending and USSD command problems. I hope with Froyo i'll not met with that.
[Milestone XT720 General] dateno1:
korean telecom not use common format

so you must need to extract files from your original rom

korean rom support the clockworkmod nandroid from rommanager (please select the milestone)
[Milestone XT720 General] forbrand:
my phone is motoroi so the original ROM for it is Korean SKT ROM. Can i install from rom manager another nonskt rom which was backuped from for example usa xt720 phone? can somebody upload his backup?
[Milestone XT720 General] forbrand:

I flashed from rsd lite nonskt rom but after that proximity sensor, gsensor stopped work. Signal was very poor. So maybe if i install backuped rom from another nonmotoroi phone it will start work correctly if signature varyfication will not occure?
[Milestone XT720 General] forbrand:
So I made back up from nandroid and copied it to another motoroi and tried to restore it from nandroid and i saw this warnings:

clockworkmod recovery v.2.5.0.1

Cheking MD5 sums...

Erasing boot before restore...

Restoring boot image...

Error while flashing boot image!

Why this error occured? Because of backup that i wanted to restore was not created on the same phone?

So i went to advenced mode and tried restore everything but boot image and taped to reboot. After that i saw this warning from bootloader Err:A5.69.35.00.23 and i had to reflash original skt rom. So why that errors occured? Because boot image wasn't flashed or every phone has own secure signature that doesn't allow flash backups that was made from another phone?

****, maybe clockworkmod recovery v.2.5.0.1 erased boot image before restoring and couldn't restore boot image from backup and phone stood without no boot image. So I will try to do it again and this time i will go straight to advenced restore mode
[Milestone XT720 General] dateno1:
i also use that (but i not fail to recovery or backup everytime!)

you will need to extract radio files from your country version xt720 (or same frequensy)

i don't know about sensor if you used the original rom

Korean XT720 Android Upgrade!

So, I tried to upgrade my phone the other day and killed the OS. Took it in to the service center and asked them to reload the OS and while at it to upgrade to the new android.

First is that Universal Androot does not work!! :mad:

The CPU speed is set to 600MHz which is an upgrade from the 550MHz.

The overall feel of the upgrade was good but since I upgraded without getting my phone info saved I feel lost.

There is not all the SKT crap also.

Here is the info from my phone.

S/W Version

STSKT_N_79.33.50R

Android Version

2.2.1

Kernel Version

2.6.29_omap1

I am going to turn the phone in and downgrade so I can get my phone straight before I have them re-upgraded.

After that I will have to search for a way to root the phone again. Which sucks! :(
[Milestone XT720 General] spiderx_mm:
if you've upgraded to 2.2.1, you can root with Super One Click Root via PC. after that, you can O/C with Milestone Overclock 1.4.2 (be noted that the higher versions do not work).
[Milestone XT720 General] NinjaX96:
Thanks for the info. that helps me out very much.

Does anyone have there xt720 rooted for this version?

Korean XT720 Android Market

So,

SKT has blocked Android Market's game section for the Korean XT720. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get around this! :rolleyes:

Is it possibility to push the apk to the phone if it is rooted? If so, how would I go about doing this? :confused:

I have gone to a few Android App web sites but can't see to find any download for them other then the Android Market. I am getting very bored with the games I was able to get on my phone before they lock out that section.

I am also wanting to buy one of the games I have before I it was lock but I can't now because that sections is locked out.

Thank you for any help you can give me or point me in the right direction. :D
[Milestone XT720 General] dipson626:
I'm pretty sure Android Market's game section is blocked all across Korea. Something to do with government regulation or something. I used to get my games via SK App Store which brings me to my issue...

I just upgraded to Froyo via the Motorola website. I noticed pretty much all the SK stuff is gone. Does anyone know how to get Tmap installed on Froyo?

The closest I got to any information was here: "tmap.tworld.co.kr/tmap2/navigation/phoneSearchMapdown.jsp?ver_type=1" but that just downloaded the map (I think).

[G2 and Desire Z General] aj700:
Hi all,

my first post here. :)

am really confused b/w Desire Z and Milestone 2. I neeeeeed a keyboard. tired of X10's onscreen keyboard rite now.

am not worried about the CPU clock speeds of OMAP and MSMs though.And not really worried about the Blur or sense stuff.

Any statistics on the GPU performance? saw the FPS on Desire Z's MSM7230 reached around 55. how much is Moto scoring in that area?

Has anyone here got a chance to play with both of these?

regards

Aj700
[G2 and Desire Z General] ClausG76:
Another thing you should think about. Is that the milestone's bootloader is heavely locked. So all the costum roms, will only be with the kernels released officialy by motorola. So you will newer be able to upgrade proberly with custom roms, after they abandon the phone

You can see that in the Milestone forums. We are still waiting on the 2.2 upgrade. And they where actually considering not to release the 2.2 upgrade. Even though there are bugs in the pressent 2.1 firmware. (Very poor 2d framerate for instance)
[G2 and Desire Z General] icewall:
That's a completely fair point. I have the original Milestone, and actually wouldn't mind sticking with it if it weren't for their bootloader. Nothing wrong with the hardware itself, and the TI core is awesome. Still wont ever buy another device from Motorola unless they change their policies. Sure, HTC also has some restrictions, and you hear people complain about slow updates once in a blue mood, but they are easily the right choice, as the lesser of two evils.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kc1:
Hi, does that also mean HTC Sense cannot be loaded onto a Milestone 2, or just that Motorola 'Motoblur' improvements won't be possible unless direct from Motorola?

(Excuse my ignorance, I've read through pages on the Milestone 1 forum, but don't understand much of it since I've been Windows Mobile up to now.)
[G2 and Desire Z General] aj700:
I was under the impression that the rooting exploits which worked on Droid variants will work on Milestones too. So its not as u guys suggest. And above all, I am not sure I will get a OTA update from Moto here, as I have never seen a moto phone at stores here. Moto doesnt looks interested in markets here????

AFAIK diff b/w msm8255 (inside HD) and msm7230( in Z) is only the cpu frequency. If it crosses 1GHz then it goes into 8series.

but for the reduced CPU clock we get a phy keyboard with Z. And the reduced 256MB ram and display sizes should help with little less power consumption. may be thats why they included a lesser 1300mAh battery.

well then HTC desire Z is the chosen one form me, if am gonna buy a new one!
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
Despite this forum is young, this has been discussed previously

The Droid2/Milestone2 is a natural contender for the Desire Z

More news: The "DROID2 PRO" or "DROID2 WORLD EDITION" (Moto A956) will be 1.2GHz - more info and some benchmarks here:

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/09/2...marks-and-system-info-hello-1-2ghz-processor/

The Mileston2/Droid2 beats the Desire Z in every aspect (faster processor, 8 GB RAM, dual LED flash, slightly smaller and lighter... etc) BUT it is motorola, not HTC

HTC has more community support and developers/hackers devoted

Root, bootloader, whatever you name it, HTC will have it first

BUT as I stated in another thread, the Desire Z's 800MHz processor has me wondering if those supposedly "gingerbread (android 3.0) minnimum hardware specs" will be a major issue for a future upgrade to android 3.0

.
[G2 and Desire Z General] aj700:
on Gingerbread side I am confident that it will definitely come to Desire Z. even if not official OTA update comes out, its the same CPU core(ARMv7) on HD and on the same chipset family (MSMs) so that should be more than enough for this wonderful community to port it across.

Thanks for pointing to the benchmark results. I ran a quick search for the same benchmark on MSM series and saw this smartphonebenchmarks.com/forum/index.php?/topic/83-msm8255-adreno-205-in-htc-desire-hd-gets-quadrant-benchmark-tested/

this is huge improvement.

you can see more benchmarks here. smartphonebenchmarks.com/

So with the kind of community tweak and fixes Samsung Hummingbird is getting, if it comes to the new gen MSMs we are looking at here, we may see more performance. feel free to say if I am wrong.

[G2 and Desire Z General] setspeed:
It's been said before and I'll say it again. Despite the Droid/Milestone 2 looking like the tastier hardware, their software development and support leaves a lot to be desired.

Most Milestone owners will tell you they won't buy Moto again, despite their awesome hardware, because Moto do not give a sh*t about supporting their phones or bug fixing. Add in the fact the bootloaders are locked down, meaning noone else can fix their mistakes, and it starts to look like their is only one choice - the Desire Z.

I really, really want the Droid 2 World Edition that's coming out - that chrome and white just looks the business in my opinion. But I know I'll be sorry if I buy it.
