Hi everyone. I've been a milestone user for 5 months now.

I wish someday motorola will unlock our bootloader. With their signature on this bootloader the community have to make a workaround to make custom ROM possible. Great works for them smile.gif

as a milestone user, we are hijacking its bootloader in its very early stage (before it loads its original kernel -> booting (loading M logo)).
u have to make sure that your milestone didn't boot its kernel after flashing vulnerable recovery.

to be spesific, when you flash vulnerable recovery (vr) using RSDlite, it sure will reboot itself. while rebooting, you have to get in to recovery mode as soon as possible before M logo appears. if you can't then you have to flash vr again.

hope it helps.

so that means while the device is rebooting i have to press x+power button to access recovery mode??no need to wait for the vr flash until 100% PASS?

as far as i know you can't do that. you have to restore all of them. otherwise you'll get nothing other than boot-loop.

just use backup/restore apps (such as spirit mechanic or astro) to restore apps (but you need to backup first in previous ROM). sync contacts with facebook/google. sms+ is good for backing up sms, mms, and call log.
