i was only wondering is it possible to root android once you've gotten the os on the hd 2, but ofcourse it would have to be according to which phone model is being used.
ex. htc hd2 with android froyo desire sense= froyo desire sense
WTF??? It's rooted already.
Laughing out loud. Im gonna quote this

Come on guys, give this guy a break..
@OP: to answer your question: it is already rooted. If you have any problems doing anything that requires superuser permissions, you can ask about that in the thread of the Android build you are using.

Hello kazshizka, It seems that you got the P.R.China retail edition, this model of this device should be ME722 instead of Milestone 2.
I strongly recommend that re-flash the UK retail ROM with RSD Lite, just check the ROM file here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
Then, search RSD Lite and the HOWTOs in this forum.
After you reflash your device, don't forget switch the Baseband to China version to ensure the signal strength of your phone.
If you have to send SMS in Chinese, you need more cracks with your UK rom. Feel free to contact me if necessary.
Alternatively, If you prefer the original ROM ( It quite contains lots of rubbish ), or, you really need the MOTO Chinese input method or something. Try follow steps:
Download the GMS ( Google Mobile Service ) package for ME722 here:
http://u.115.com/file/f4b76fefad
Rename the zip file to update.zip, then copy it into root folder under your microSD card,
Hold X button and boot the device, when there are a reboot with "!" appeared, press @ button.
Choose apply update.zip to install GMS package.
Enjoy it!
Best regards.
Thanks a lot!! It does contain a lot of rubbish. Can't I just root the phone to remove the rubbish? I'm using it in a different country so I don't mind the UK version but the Chinese input is needed.

UK ROM just cannot send Chinese Contents SMS without some cracks, but it can really works perfect with other Chinese input method like Google pinyin, Touchpal pinyin, and so on.
Switching a China version baseband is necessary even you using it in a different country. Because UK rom's baseband do not fit M722's hardware.

U can't update directly if u are from China because currently China still not in the Market List that fully distributing all applications (Google "Android Market - Supported locations for distributing applications").
Solution: Go to Market & try to search "MarketEnabler" and u will know the trick.
U will be surprised by then.
Sorry, there is one more condition: Ur phone need to be Rooted!!

MarketEnabler is very cool but I think you just can't image what happened in P.R.China's ROM,
Because a dozen of google's services was TOTAL OR PARTLY BLOCKED in mainland of China, include Youtube, Gmail ,Search ,Translate,.... And, we can't reach facebook, twitter, linkedin,....
So, there was even no market in China's ROM, the SNS link in moto blur are some localize servers instead of twitter and facebook.
We can fake mobile provider via MarketEnabler in Market, but no Market here.

oh there's not even a market application? whoa ok. im afraid im sort of out of any helpful ideas; sorry
is there no way to get a set from hong kong which already has market pre-installed in it? or to flash a new ROM so you can have the market software available in the new ROM?
EDIT: I LOOKED THROUGH SOME POSTS ON OTHER DEVICE THREADS AND FOUND THIS. I DO HOPE THIS CAN HELP YOUR GOOD SELF, AND THE OTHER USERS FROM CHINA

Really thanks for all your great efforts on this. My device is UK retail version, and I'm using the UK firmware now。
Hope the Market installer + MarkerEnabler will be a nice breakthrough for China frimware to get google services, but I don't know whether these could sync google account data ( like contacts ).
Maybe this is the best and easy solution of this thread.

waigx,
Thanks for the useful info, but have you actually tried what you are describing in your first post on a Chinese MS2?
I'm in the same condition as the OP, got a MS2 from China Mobile, it is already rooted (1-click method did it for me) but I hesitate about flashing it as I don't have any way of going back to the current state if it fails.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

i do believe thats the reason why there is a guide to back up your current ROM. this is as simple as i can put it to you:
1 - Root phone
2 - Install Droid 2 Bootstrap
3 - Boot into recovery from Bootstrap
4 - Select backup on recovery ( use volume keys for up, down, camera for ok and power for back)

I got the same model ME722 from China, I have the same problem. No Market! Google does not recognize my phone and does not let me install from Market. How do I get Google to recognize my phone?
I rooted my phone and installed Market Enabler, however, I am still not able to install from Market?? I faked using Rogers then went to Market and tried to download an app, but Market still comes back with no Android phone..... Is there something that I missed?

Hi or.green,
I really understand your concerns, please don't worry about it. Your can flash it again if it fails, because the device load Bootloader first, which you cannot modify with flashing phones.
I wrote down my experience of using MS2 for share, and I attached it in the attachments. Including how to flash the phone and F.A.Q.s of MS2. But the contents are Chinese, hope it helpful for you.
Feel free to contact me if necessary.
Just go ahead.
Best wishes.
Edited: This article is for UK retail version, If you have a ME722, don't forget modify the Baseband after you flashed a UK rom
Hello waigx,
Thanks for the information, I'm downloading the file and will check if it makes any sense to me after google translate (I barely started learning spoken chinese, it'll be a while before I can read it... )
As to you comment about the baseband, I'm guessing instructions on how to do that are readily availavle online, right?
Thanks,
Or.

You just need to know that it's not a 9000 and it's a 9003. The rest is always written on the thread
First thing take a deep breath. Just read through the forum and you will learn how to do it. It took me some time before i figured out how to flash roms.
About your bluetooth, go to bluetooth settings and check "Discoverable"
There's not much for flashing stuff for the I9003. There are millions of things to flash for the I9000 lol

This is a beautiful but seriously loaded phone.Do not be in a tearing hurry to root,flash all sorts of ROMs etc.Use it for a few days in its virgin state,let it stabilise but do read through all these forums taking care you are reading about 9003,make notes and then go for practicals.Otherwise,you might just end up posting SOS messages on trouble-shooting which is really not necessary since the list of things you have set out to do is not some rocket science but common sense+knowledge that can first come only through reading.
Moreover,there is pleasure in figuring things out yourself.
Best wishes.

1. yes, gingerbread is out but not yet for asia. you can either get other regions's gingerbread and flash it to you phone. take note, warranty's void after flashing.
2. dockbar icon depends on ur launcher. if you are on touchwiz, you have to either apply a theme (i guess, coz i havent used touchwiz).
3. if you wan sg2 apks, search forums for which apps you wan. if you really wan sgs2 so much, then you can either get apply a custom rom which is using sgs2 apps.
4. if u are on froyo, get speedmod kernel, voodoo or etc's kernel which has built in root functions.
5. discoverable must be ticked in settings or ur pc wont be able to see you for the 1st time.

If you ever need an american app let me know I should have tried xda first went to soo many shady websites trying to find apk and my phone says it cant use vpn for some reason maybe because i have such a debloated ROM.
