Hi,
I've just updated my Legend to the 2.03.403 version. So far i noticed that there's a new version of the quickoffice, improved performance and battery. Most Important multi-touch (pinch zoom)for Google maps!Has anybody figured out any new / additional feature beside what i mentioned ?
Without a garantueed method to root this update or a pre-rooted version I won't touch this even with a ten-foot pole.
Just convert your sdcard into goldcard. That's it. Launch the official RUU file...install it... and you're ready!
No, I was not talking about "How can I do this" but about the implications of that update.
There is no root-version of it for now, or is there?
The version is unrooted. Nothing will be rooted. You're using an original version with no changes... should be totally fine.
If you flash this to your rooted phone, you loose the rooting..
I didn't have rooted it. Just goldcard. And yes you loose the root.
this new firmare is out from today? WHere can I read my firmware version to check what version I have?

No OTA for now, you have to flash this like a normal rom, but you might need a Goldcard.
So:
Create Goldcard (It's somewhere on this forum)
Put the Goldcard in your phone
Turn on the phone
Connect your phone to your pc
Run the RUU from your pc and follow the steps
It should flash the new rom, but remember that you'll loose root!
If you haven't rooted, there is no problem
One change I've noticed is that I can now use the map background from Terra Time - it would not work before.
Now that I have installed this update does it mean that I can no longer root my phone?
Another change - I can now open up the full youtube site when tethered instead of getting palmed off to the mobile site.
Hi, Can anyone tell me if the new firmware has Cyrillic keyboard?
Nothing for Italy at this moment....

It has Russian keyboard, but it is hidden (at least, on my phone).
I had to set my locale to Russian with MoreLocale. This switches the entire UI to Russian unfortunately, but enables Russian in HTC IME.
Same was true for my original 1.xx ROM.
...
just updated on ger unbranded legend with win7 pro 64 bit without any problem... now testing ;-) ...
Is there swedish language included in this?
Is this ROM have English lang available on it? I bought my legend from india (1.32).
Will i be able to get OTA updates from HTC after flashing this ROM? I guess i ll also lose my warranty?
Please tell me as i want to flash this ROM desparately.
I've downloaded all Milestone 2 Service SBFs and mirrored them. Apparently quite some people are looking for them, so here they are.
I suggest you download them, while the links last
FYI: These were the only SBFs for the Milestone 2 that ever have been publicly available! So no, there are no Chinese or Asians SBFs and I don't know how to get them!

please, please please!!!
italian sbf!!!
thank you!!!!
As far as I know there isn't an SBF for an Italian Milestone 2. You should probably use the UK SBF.
The SBFs I provided are the only ones that have been available.
Thanks a lot mate!
Thanks you so much
I have updated -> http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
Cool thanks everyone!
I now has an Optus SBF for whence I need it
Chinese?
Does the "CH" in DE, AT, CH mean Chinese? So somehow one ROM supports Chinese plus European language? Othewise, is there a Chinese version? Sorry if this is a stupid question...
CH is Czech.
There is no European ROM that supports Chinese AFAIK. Furthermore there haven't been any Chinese/Asian SBFs publicly available, at least not via the official Motorola Repo.

Anyway to get the Asian SBF, for Singapore's?
Whats it mean?
This is a such a noob question, so forgive me for my arrogance, I'm still learning a lot about Android ROMs... but, what exactly IS a Service SBF? What does SBF stand for? Thanks for any answers.

If someone knows the filename of the SBF and if that file is still online on Motorola's server it could be possible.

Not sure what SBF stands for, but I've read "System Boot File"
The service doesn't replace the /data partition, non-service versions do. So simply said a Service SBF only replaces the system, without removing user data. (Correct me if I'm wrong)
thanks,,,,,,,,
thanks for this..
do I just apply the sbf via RSD?

Yes. Make sure you use version 4.9
Thanks for the share
btw I have very little experience in android. so I better ask you guys to increase my understanding. As far as I know SBF is ultimate savior for bricked android phone. If that happen, you just have to use RSD lite to flash your phone with SBF. Is that right? get me straight if I was wrong.
But I still confused about several things
1. Do SBF is the same with factory reseted rom?
2. Do I have to use the right SBF version (UK, Brazil, DE or whatever) for my MS2 or we can change it to different version?
3. How can I know my SBF version?

DE = German
AT = Austria

Pretty much! As long as your MS can boot into recovery (hold camera and power up and then press the power button)
But I still confused about several things
1. Do SBF is the same with factory reseted rom? - Yes, but it also restores the phone to complete stock build (ie if youve rooted it, or removed and crapware) that will also be restored.
2. Do I have to use the right SBF version (UK, Brazil, DE or whatever) for my MS2 or we can change it to different version? - 4.9 is the latest. To get your phone to show up, make sure you have all the phone's drivers installed on your machine first.
3. How can I know my SBF version? - Generally goes by country/continent..
Regards
These SBF's will not erase the data partition! So all user date will be in tact after flashing it.
hello, i dont want to format install a new arabic os.

I dont want to flash with odlin with risk of bricking my phone.
I have had it for few days, maybe later.
Is there any file or application, just to be able to read arabic.
Now the letters are all seperated.
Is there a quick fix without flashing ?
In the above mentioned link I have attached a file in one of my posts, try it will change nothing but adding Arabic fonts, it worked with some and not with others,you can give a try. Its absolutely harmless.
What do you need with :
1. your device must be rooted.
2. Just in case set the fonts to UNICOD.
If your device is not rooted same as mine which is not,you just can't change the fonts, its a system app it needs root access.
I just discovered what rooted means.
My phone is not rooted.
Ok, any other method ?

flashing a stock rom with odin won't damage your mobile at all,
if you are afraid to even flash a stock rom, i think you better look somewhere else my friend
do it and feel the power ( although it will only be a stock rom flashing )

Hey guys, my eng is not so good so I hope you can understand what I will say. I've found the way to root the Italian Version of ICS brand TIM with NFC, the GT-i9100P.
Despite the guides for the nobrand version, that method is not suitable for the 9100P TIM.
If you want the guide you only have to wait for Monday morning: I will first publish it on my blog, then if you like I will try to translate here.
I hope this can help some of you because it has been a problem for me not to have the root privileges on the stock TIM ICS.
CYA.
===== EDIT =====
The complete guide is HERE, in italian.
If you're looking for the English version please click HERE
Please consider a small donation if you like my workaround by clicking here, thankyou.
CYA
Why wait until Monday? Flash an ICS kernel which has CWM recovery, install su + superuser/supersu, flash back original kernel (which you can find on samfirmware), ????, profit.
I guess I'm missing something.

I guess you missed the part about not changing ROM, and flashing back the original kernel?
Good job.

And that will bring back NFC options in settings?
Yes, the NFC settings will be back because of the native firmware version and it's fully functional.
You miss that the NFC version is different from the one without the nfc chip: with the italian tim branded version that method is not compatible.
I've tried many times with kernels and booting in cwm to flash the SU installer but when I came back to home in ics the file was missing.
Be sure, this is the only method to flash the italian version with brand TIM; it's a bad rom to inject root because of the space.
I say to wait because the guide is timed to be published on monday morning on my blog.
If you have any idea it's wellcome, but I think you cannot make it for sure if you have not the S2 in the conditions we have in Italy with TIM carrier.
I don't have an I9100P with brand TIM to prove you wrong, but it just sounds like nonsense that existing methods do not work. Be that using the method mentioned above, or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1501719
I haven't heard of anyone having trouble rooting that model whilst retaining NFC functionality.
I does not do anything because the ROM is fully charged with TIM and there is no space to inject the files we need for superuser. We have no KB free to store them.

Ok, with stock rom, not rooted I mean, open Titanium and see how much free space you have on system: if you have no space you cannot flash any SU or BUSYBOX.
Mobile Odin helps me moving automatically GMaps to free space.
This is the method:
- flash stock nobrand ics
- root with cwm
- launch mobile odin and flash the branded version of ics
- it will ask to delete gmaps: say yes.
- make sure you have checked the inject superuser
- flash firmware
This is the method I found to root a rom full like an egg. I think Orange put on you roms less software than tim in Italy: we have about 10 TIM programs for about 20-30 MB occupied by them. With no root permissions we cannot unistall it to make room for SU binaries.
U still think I'm wrong?
If you search in forums you will find the in Italy we have many problems with that ICS release, not with the unbranded one instead.
Ah, thanx for add LOLSPAM to tags: is it auto-tagging? :|

If what you describe is indeed the case, your solution sounds long winded and unnecessary. You should just be able to flash a CF-root kernel, boot to CWM recovery, use adb or flash a simple script to remove some junk and carry on as normal.
However, if I was in your position I would just stick to an unbranded ROM if the provider is filling it full of junk.
My english is really bad so... In Italy we have not the i9100p unbranded... I've not used any script to clear the junks because I've not found any that was suitable for my use. I also have not the capacity to modify it for my personal needs. My solution is a workaround, I admit, but it works fine and the payment for Mobile Odin Pro from Chainfire has not been a problem.
Ok, it seems not all solutions are welcome here if they seem strange solutions.
Btw, it worked for me and till I wanted the stock rom.

This could be very interesting for Italian users who want to de-brand their Gt-I9100P branded by TIM carrier (like mine).
Which firmware are you using? Do you think it is an international, multi-language version? We could use this firmware as a base for rooting and de-branding, instead of LP7 version that seems not to work in NFC devices.
Sorry for the delay but I've been very busy.
The italian rom is multilingual too as usual but my guide is not for debrand: the TIM version will remain after the root.
The problem with the TIM operator brand is that system folder is fully charged and there's no space to place the superuser apk. In this case you can succesfully use my guide, else you don't need it.
The firmware is:
BaseBand: i9100pXXLPB
Kernel: i9100pXXLPF
Build: IML74K.XXLPF
Tomorrow the guide will be posted in english, sorry for this delay too.

Hi everybody,
I m thinking about selling my Milestone 2 after 3 years of devotion !
(I d like to get a more powerfull phone... Would love to find one with physical keyboard, but it's very difficult to find one with an azerty version - It's only for US market generally Droid 4, Photon Q... - so i think I will take a Nexus 4 wich have an interesting price.. I talk, I talk, but it's not the point !)
So, to sell it , I d like to put it back in original configuration.
Unfortunately after many flashes, I m today on a BL=4 Firmware (Claro Argentina)
And I d like to put it in french language with an original ROM, but I think thoses Latam ones, don't have these language (I tried somes and it's english / spanish).
Can someone confirm there is no BL=4 Rom with french language ?
If I well understood, I have no chance to downgrade form BL4...
so what are my opprtunities, to get back the phone closer its original configuration with french language ?
Thanks per Advance fior your help

What about modifying an GB SBF from france, deleting everything except the /system partition, and flashing it back?
You can do that with Moto android depacker.
That wouldn't mess up your kernel or your BL, and still have support for french language and azerty keyboard.
Just thinking out loud here.
Good luck.

If it works it's a terrific idea (didn't know it was possible...)
just one question.
I have just to keep CG39 for system.
I can replace all the rest with the French GB SBF, and finally compile my sbf to flsh it.
that's it ?

You don't need to flash anything else besides /system, just create a SBF with only that partition from the French sbf.
And yep, I think that's it.
Good luck, remember to keep an unmodified sbf to flash just in case.

is it necesary to create an sbf? can i use a update.zip with /system on it (and nothing else)?

Hi , I just tried to do this operation.
There 's something I don't understand. I can't rebuild a sbf , only with CG39.smg with Moto Android Depacker.
So tried to replace the CG39.smg from Claro Latin America version (the BL=4) with the french CG39.smg. and then rebuild a new sbf...
But doesnt see to work, THe phone shows the moto logo and nothing then...
Any Idea ?
did I do something wrong ?
Thanks per advance
Sorry to up (it's not in my habit) but I really need to know if I can put my phone in original config but with french language...
Is there a way to flash a rebuilt sbf with french language knowing I m already in BL=4 (cause I flashed the phone with CLARA LATAM rom)
Thanks per advance.
