What's the major differences between the Milestone X2 and the Droid X2? Other than one is GSM and the other is CDMA.
Both cdma. Hopefully not much but network/data. Still waiting for nandroid....

oh, they're both CDMA? I thought the MX2 was the GSM brother of the DX2, it'd be nice to get that nandroid and see what you're planning on doing with it.

i fershur posted and bumped it, not because you wanted me to, but because I want to see what you can do with it. Can't you take a nandroid from the Atrix as well though? even though it's a GSM phone and ours is CDMA?
^this is why all phones should be global (both GSM/CDMA) so that stuff is interchangeable.

I think not, much radio in system.
Indeed, both are CDMA, and more specifically both are the same model. Milestone is the name given to Droid phones in Europe, because Motorola hasn't acquired the rights to use the word "Droid" from LucasArts outside of the US.
That doesn't make much sense, considering I'm in america and got an MX2 from my provider...
NVM- looks like it's specifically a verizon / lucasarts issue.

So we could search for a European rom for boot loader unlock?

Quick - What's the Euro-equivalent to XDA?
If some frog unlocked the X2, my phone is just as good the way it is.
Maybe a pissed of Chinese man got stuck with an X2 and is OC'ing this very moment. Google Translate people. Skwoodwiva, you may land yourself on the Bootloader Unlock Wiki for this mischief.
*My first post since I got mugged. When I called Asurion for a replacement, sadly, they handed me back an X2. Why couldn't that gentleman steal my phone after the X2 stock ran out!??!?! It's all good. I still get to read Ash's late-night/early morning drunken/sleep-deprived rambles (kinda like this one).

Theoretically it sounds like it could be feasible, but it's a bit more complicated. They don't use the exact same android OS as us despite it being the same hardware. I believe they actually have an sbf unique to just the milestone x2. Also, xda isn't just American, and the vast majority of any android mods show up on xda before anywhere else.
The dx2 is VERIZON, mx2 is any other company that puts out the mb870. Verizon can use the Droid name, not moto. Lucus Arts owns the Droid name and leases it to Verizon...
Everything is the same except mobile carrier apps.... The settings within the phone may be different but that's add far as it goes.... You can flash an ntelos sbf on a Verizon x2 and it WILL work.... But you won't be able to activate because of baseband and prl versions are not the same. But other than that it will work..... You can flash the ntelos sbf on a Verizon DX2, and you can take the phone to ntelos and they can activate the phone... make since?
Tapin' the Talk on the xSquared
Peperm1nt
You are not suggesting that someone flash netelos to a x2 are you as one could not return back to the vz sbf. Just a FWIW.
But could you take an SBF and change the baseband and what ever else you need to to get it activated on VZW then activate it?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
No moding allowed. Sbf's are signed .
Oh
That sucks. Well could we SBF, then change the necessary stuff to get it activated on VZW, then do a nandroid and then we just have to SBF and do a nandroid to get it activated with an MX2 SBF?
Sent from my MB870 using XDA
It's risky . The sbf does something irreversible = brick. I plan to nand' to the 235 mx2 after backing up as much as qpst can. But all that is safe.
I pm'ed a big cheese in our moto hacking community and he did not think qpst or radiocomm could access the radio areas that only a sbf can access.
Wow wow wow.....just got my New Galaxy and I have flashed older devices but it would go wrong on the newest most expensive phone I've had (smh). My phone just flashes Samsung and won't boot.

I am looking for a copy of correct firmware too. If I can find it I will let you know, please do the same for me. My phone is not bricked but wanna have a backup plan before I start flashing anything. You can take your phone back and tell them the battery went dead and once you got it charged and turned it on it started doing this. CSpire employees are dumb, they won't know any better and will replace your device. I know from experience. I bricked my buddies Milestone X2 while trying to unlock it's bootloader. He took it to the store the next day and they replaced it for free.

Man are u serious!!!! lol Even with the binary counter?? Just my luck they will be like h#ll no "you must pay full price for a new device". I'v been thinking about trying that but just doesn't seem like it will work. I will definitely let you know if I find the firmware, I'm glad I kept my old phone might just wait until insurance kicks in and get a new one for 199$ if I havent found the firmware by then.

I tried to root again using toolbox sprint method but it soft bricked again. I know drivers were installed and the root worked but no full boot..I could hear Cspire's theme play but charge light stayed on with black screen. ...idk where I went wrong..but reflashed back to stock.
Thinking about getting a refurb'd Mopho or swapping for one on like Craigs list or something. I hear that 2.3.5 can be unlocked IF it came from factory that way, but NOT from an OTA update...is there a way to tell which is which? Or is that even true?
TIA.

It was possible for the electrify at least. This has some more information and how you can check.

firstly you need to flash the tmobile based ics modem ( flash in cwm or twrp) found here:
http://multiupload.biz/fdpnprq0ov6o/Official TMo ICS RADIO_NOTE_MultiUpload.biz.zip.html
then after flashing boot into your rom and follow these instructions exactly (note: after pressing perso shaf256 off I had to press back twice instead of once, but then I was back on the network page and could choose [4] NW LOCK NV DATA INITIALLIZ):

Can't wait to try this on my Bell Note! I'm going to Florida soon and have been procrastinating on getting the phone unlocked...
Score one for procastination!
I was surprised when it actually worked... I got screwed out of an unlock code by an online company (only 8 bucks but still) so when I saw the t989 modem and thread about free unlock for their phone (using the same modem you can flash on ours) I had to try it! I flashed a rogers radio afterward and the unlock stayed also.
Thanks for posting! I'll definitely be trying this out when my Note arrives on Saturday.
Worked perfectly!
I am impressed! I worked like a charm in the very first try! I used a AT&T Galaxy Note I717 with stock ROM (I717UCLF6, kernel 3.0.8). The best part is that later I flashed another ROM (Padawan) and it remained unlocked. Did a couple of phone calls and it is working great! Thank you so much! :victory:
you're quite welcome guys! Figured I had to share the wealth on this one and hopefully save some users some cash and/or getting scammed by too good to be true unlock code site "deals".
Got my note unlocked for $3 but I will pass this method on.
Thanks.

The Note has been out for a while. Is there any reason not to simply call ATT (or whatever carrier you have) and ask them for the unlock code? Don't get me wrong. If this method is safe and if it works, then thank you for sharing.
can anyone verify this does work on at&t? and do we just reflash an at&t modem after its done?
thanks

Sorry, Crixley. I think your post is appreciated, and though I wasn't terribly excited at first, I did thank you. I forgot to push the Thanks button but that's taken care of now. I wasn't sold at first that this unlock would work but it appears to be valid for several users. And, being an ATT user for many years, I can get my unlock with a simple phone call. However, I see your post as very valuable for many others. So, THANKS!
OK. I am going to provide as much detail as I can for now. Please let me know what additional information will help you help me. Thanks
I have a S4 for Verizon. I have been trying to root it so I can load the Google edition image on it. However, none of the tutorials I have seen seem to work on my device. I bought it brand new direct from Samsung off contract (didn't want to loose my unlimited data) so I don't think I can get a warranty replacement through Verizon (haven't rooted it yet). The furthest I seem to get is that SuperSU gets installed but will not download the binaries. So I cannot continue with the rest if the steps with rooting and re-imaging. Also, most steps have you install a specific kernal version as the first step but not sure if that is happening because my screen don't look the same as the ones in the tutorials.
Phone: SCH-1545
OS ver: 4.3
Kernal: 3.4.0
Build: JSS15J.1545VRUEMJ7
HW ver: 1545.06
Thanks.

No. Once the phone is updated, there is no way to go back.
As I stated above, all we can do is root. With root we can debloat and use Xposed framework to make some changes.

It's Verizon, they lock down every phone they sell. You have to do research before you buy your phone if you want custom software on Verizon, or switch carriers.

I know Verzon sucks in that regard but the service is awesome. I get full 4G coverage just about everywhere and I've got unlimited data still. Plus, I didn't buy it from them, I payed full price from an online vendor so that I wouldn't have to change my contract.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for when someone finally cracks it.
I hate waiting....
