Help How to restore 2.0.1 Telus Milestone OS from 2.1 Thai version?

[Newpunk]

I had upgraded the OS to 2.1 using the Thai sbf file which works with the Telus Milestone 3G frequencies. I noticed more bugs and lag so I wish to restore the original software that it came with.

Can anyone post links and give instructions on how to do this?

Thank you.

The same as you did with 2.1. Use a 2.0.1 sbf file and RSDLite.

You will not be able to go back to the Telus 2.0.1 you will have to go to the brazilian 2.0.1 as the 2.0.1 Telus spf is not available

you can go back to Telus 2.0.1. I've done it twice now. I installed the vulnerable_recovery_only_RAMDLD90_78.sbf via rsd lite then the update.zip to root. Finaly I followed the steps here (http://alldroid.org/threads/14875-Na...Backups-wanted) with the Telus Back up found here (http://alldroid.org/threads/14875-Na...-wanted/page42) Post #417. Took me a while because my knowledge of ADB is limited but I managed to downgrade back to Telus 2.0.1 twice after having upgraded to Thai 2.1

Can you give details on how you did this? I'm trying to do this now and having alot of trouble.

For example the folder that im told to put the image in, doesn't exist and how do i get into recovery mode? the power button and up on the d pad?

If I remember correctly I had to create that folder.

Boot to Bootloader = (D-pad up + power)

Recovery Mode = With phone off press and hold camera button and power button until you see the recovery screen. release. Then press volume up once followed by the camera button again.

Thanks, I won't get to try it for another few hours, but I'll let you know how it goes.

how do I connect via ADB and execute?

You should of at least had some adb experience before you even tried to root.

To use the android debug bridge you will need to have the android sdk installed you can find plenty of tutorials online to install it

I was able to connect through the usb and open up command prompt and run adb in it.

I called adb shell nandroid-mobile.sh --restore


the next step is suppose to be a choose your backup download but I get:

nandroid-mobile v2.2.1 (milestone port)

Using G1 keyboard, enter a directory name substring and then <CR> to find matchers or just <CR> to accept default:

The milestone keyboard is not allowing anything to be entered, and I can not type anything on the cmd prompt. What am I doing wrong?


EDIT:
I've got it:

Use this

-Connect your device to your PC and Power off your phone
-Hold the CAMERA button and then press the POWER button and HOLD them both until you see the recovery screen.
-Once you see the recovery screen press the VOLUME UP button and the CAMERA button at the SAME TIME until you see a menu.
-Select 'wipe data/factory reset' and then select 'yes'
-Select 'wipe cache partition'
-Select 'apply sdcard:update.zip'
-You are now in ADBrecovery. On your PC open up a Command Prompt.
-'cd' to your Android SDK tools folder (mine is C:\android\tools)
-then type 'adb shell'
-then type 'su'
-then type 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore'
-then just hit your Enter key on your keyboard
-then hit your Enter key on your keyboard again
-let it restore the Nandroid backup
-Once it says 'Restore Done', on your Milestone select 'reboot system now'

try going into recovery mode and restoring your milestone again. 2nd question would be did you use the Telus back-up u linked to? 3rd are you using the telus milestone on telus or is it an unlocked telus used on another provider? if it's being used on another provider you would have to setup your apn again

Is the browser not working or are all things that require internet not working? I rooted and installed flac, live wallpapers and the new framework.jar and i could not use my browser,market,alarm,opera, or anything that needed internet i had to delete each individually and unroot.

 

[Tammo7]

It was just the browser and I had a copy of my apps backed up, included the browser, I restored it and everything is working good now.

Can anyone answer with certainty that the Thai version supports 850 and 1900 3g bands? I'm in Los Angeles and here the 1900 is used primarily.
