Android 2.1 goes to Motorola MILESTONE Over-The-Air

29 March, 2010
It's been a week since Motorola MILESTONE users got the official Android 2.1 upgrade and now they can get the latest version of the Android OS Over-The-Air. So, no computers or wires needed. As you already...

If you want to be sure to get the update that matches the software on your Milestone (depending on country), here is the Motorola Software Update site:

http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/support/update/

It's not available there for all countries yet, but they are adding them asap.

        YEAH baby, 5 screens... and it's been rooted!
        SHOLS_U2_02.34.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B8061.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTDACH_P019_A013_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf
        search for that one; not the .31 version from this page...

        install these SBF files with RSD Lite; connect via USB to pc and startup moto by keeping key-up (D-Pad) pressed together with power for some time, then release. Switch to RSD program on PC, and select .34 file.

        To root it:
        http://www.android-hilfe.de/news-ankuendigungen/15014-android-hilfe-de-rootet-motorola-milestone.html#post150205

        follow that to install - after you installed .34, the small SHOLS_U2_01.14.0_recovery_only.sbf should be installed.
        then, get the mentioned zipfile, rename to update.zip, put it on root dir of your SD card and reboot keeping cam key pressed. select update.zip file and you're ready to go... root rights.

          maybe this will help SE X10 out with their lazy ability to provide the phone with Android 1.6 come on SE stop been slow and providing old technology.

                  Has anyone tried this update with the Telus Milestone? If so, how did you do it and did it work?
