[Motorola Milestone Android Development] protozeloz:
Hello My Friends I've Heard You Are Having Troubler Installing The New Upgrade Or Understanding What Is Needed To Be Done.

Note: THIS IS A WINDOWS BASED HOW TO AND WILL WORK ON WINDOWS ONLY​

Before I Start I must Say, This Is a combination of process and I have not created any of those files or own the right to them so all the links are the same links found on other posts from where i got the info, so by downloading those files you are, supporting them not me i take no credit for this work

Well Here Is the quick Easy Guide In How To Do This

-Fist we Need To Get The Tools To Perform This Operation

pulled From This Tread we need

1. Motorola Drivers For Either 32 or 64 Bits

2. RSD Lite, witch is a tool for flashing your phone.

3. The GOT Open Recovery ToolUpdate: Added Latest version from G.O.T.'S Blog

4.The Firmware Files From Got

EDIT: G.O.T. Has Added the burnerable open recovery to these sfb files so no need to flash it latter :)

-Now That We Have The Stuff We Need We are going to do it, fist i must say that unlike other roms that are applied by a backup restore (corect me if im whrong) this is a full flash and its going to reset everything so no apps will remain no setting will remain and is highly recommended that you uninstall every app you have, don't back them up(except for apps some apps that have a create backup file, those seem to work) just uninstall them, and when we are done have them installed again, Here Is A Tool That Will Help You Get There Faster

1.ok you have everything uninstalled right? now time for some action:D

2.install the proper divers (32 or 64)

3.install the RSD Lite tool

4.unzip the 2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES you downloaded and you will find a ".sbf" file

5.now connect your phone to USB cable and turn it off

6.boot it in boot-loader mode (press the D-PAD UP key while pressing the power button), some night need you to release the button after a minute, a black screen will be shown on your phone and you will see the divers being installed on your computer.

7.when drivers are done open the RSD Lite tool and your device should appear you can click on it to see details.

8.now click on the "..." buttons that are close to the start button and look for the ".sbf" file, after a couple of seconds it should be ready to start

9.press the start button and do not unplug the cable or let your computer show the screen saver or go to sleep, the posses must not be stopped while it has started .

10.when the posses is done the devise will restart and voala, you have 2.2

-As GOT stands there are some bugs on the firmware and they have developed a fix to them and get root and overclock, here is what you have to do.

1. unzip the got open recovery tool into the root of your SD card

2.check this quote

this means if the fist time your milestone got restarted and you saw "Welcome to Milestone" Message You are good an you can root.

but if you didn't then restart you phone and see if the message comes out, if not , a factory reset should have that scree message shown.

3. open the open recovery by pressing camera and power button at the same time while the device id off. you should see a scree with a "!" symbol on it then press fist volume rocker up button a leave it pressed then press camera button, some letter will pop out.

4. using the pad scroll down to "apply update.zip", after a couple of seconds the GOT menu should pop out (everything from now on uses the pad)

5.root your phone (why not)

6.go down to "Launch 2.2.1 Menu" Option.

7.Here you will see the "Fix Bugs They Are Talking About

8. there is the overclock too.

Now your device should have all the things you need to start playing with it,I encourage you to check on some tweaks the GOT team might have, and you might want.

I Hope This Was Helpful enjoy ^_^
