hii,
i've been trying to root my milstone , here is it details :
Code:

one of the tutorials i've followed :
Root and Flash Custom ROM on Motorola Milestone running Android 2.1

but the problem is :
it's like whenever i flash a vulnerable sbf , the old one come back after reboot , for example :
i have applyed the update.zip with openrecovery from the tutorial above and the recovery menu changed to the what it says (in the tutorial ) but after i reboot the phone when i log in the recovery menu again i get the old one with just the 4 options :
reboot ....
apply update.....
wipe ....
wipe .....


does anyone have any idea ?

thnx
 
Since you're on the Stock firmware you will need to apply the vulnerable recovery each time before you apply the update in recovery mode. Whenever you boot into recovery you will always see that screen until you re-apply the update.zip.

On a side note...your firmware wasn't listed on the and-developers website. Make sure you do a full nandroid before trying too much.

iv'e done a full nandroid first time i saw this problem . :)
now another problem :
i just applyed the update.zip , didn't mount any rom (still the default rom i got with the phone when i buyed it), and i have a superuser app ..

the problem is :
1) when using adb on pc for instance adb shell i get the $ insteed of #
2) when pushing or pulling i get permission denied ,

is it because the rom on the phone , should i mount a rooted rom ?
