Maybe its the same boot.img as droid.

don't think so - the droid's boot.img will contain cdma stuff - we need gsm stuff

the problem is, that they use a modified droid boot.img

that's what the devs write here: http://alldroid.org/viewtopic.php?f=252&t=809

boot.img: allmost all Droid OEM (2.0)

this is our problem :) there is no milestone boot.img because you need root permissions to make one.

I downloaded the system dump from the link, and it looks to be from a milestone. Here's what I have also found - The Facebook app from this dump was easily installed on my Uk milestone and works perfectly. The CarDock.apk also installed and appeared in my programs as Car Home with a nice little steering Wheel icon. :) I clicked and at first it didn't seem to work. However when I plug in to USB it magically works. A dandy little arch with Voice search, Navigation, contacts and stuff appears, all the links working fine, including Navigation as I applied the Google Navigation hack from another thread.

If this system dump is useful to you for rooting explorations, Paul, let me know and I will try to figure a way to upload it to my webspace for you to get - send me a PM B)

yes. I also downloaded the 2.1 system dump from the link. Looks like to be from a milstone. Faceook + CarDock works great. Now waiting to some one take a look on this system dump and do some magic to root our badboy. Hope paul will take look on it. Thanks :)

Hope this can work to get the root on our Milestone, Motorola Italy doesn't even know if they'll release the 2.0.1 update in my country S:

don't we need the system folder to get the root?

That is exactly what this appears to be - a full dump of a system folder from a Motorola Milestone... :)

Certainly has xbin folder and in it the su file. B)

Unfortunately we can't flash the system dump at the moment! :)

There's nothing to do with that then? There's no way to obtain root? It's not an "official" fw?

Sorry for the questions (that probably you'll find "n00b" B)) but I'm new in the Android world :)

Looked at the framework-res.apk to see if it's not a fake.

Well, the unlock screen looks like the android 2.0 one and not like 2.1. Just look at jog_dial_bg.png. Kinda strange ...

On androidiani.com the Admin analized the file and he said that the build has for date the 11/11/2009.

Is it possible that Motorola has got the update tons of weeks before his appereance? In November even the DROID wasn't already out...

i through if we have the 2.0.1 dump, then should be able to root....

Isn't this what happend to droid?

or is it coz this is not the "offical" update, so nothing can be done?

you would do nothing but select SETTING>ABOUT PHONE>AUTO SYSTEM CHECK.

then you just need to wait .. this will solute the camera problem.
