Rooting Telus' Milestone

---

Has anyone had any luck with rooting this phone yet? I've scoured the net and so far the only rooting instructions I've found are for the European and South American variants of the Milestone.

Running custom roms isn't a big deal for me; at least not unless or until someone manages to port CyanogenMod to the Milestone But it sure would be nice to be able to run Market Enabler so that I can access paid apps without having to buy an unlock code and a U.S. sim. It would also be nice to be able to run MetaMorph too.

Anyway, I thought I'd get a thread started here so that people could post attempts and/or suggestions.

I really hope they can root our milestone, I'm already having a huge problem with app space, I installed a few 3d games and i'm out of space... pathetic.

Otherwise I love the phone, even getting used to the keyboard. nice upgrade from the dream.

Yeah, I'm not 100% sold on the keyboard compared to the dream yet. But the screen is so nice even the virtual keyboard works nice. I've still got 45MB free on the phone but it would be nice to have a little more room just in case.

I wish someone would root it. The one thing that's making me hold out from buying one is the fact that you can't buy paid apps in Canada. I'm actually considering *shudder* the iPhone...

i have European milestone with root but i dont think its easy to do apps2sd with root alone as the native kernel doesnt support ext3 partition and we cant change the kernel.

how idiotic Motorola is to lock down the android handsets except Droid. i am feeling alienated having used to custom ROMs. such an idiotic company with stupid rules.

This does not work for you?

P.S. I get Milestone tommorow:P But already made sure i can root it lol.

P.P.S. Sry Didint know Telus has different ROM, gues rly no root for you...

I would really like to do this too. I had the luck to get a pre released telus milestone. I have been trying to root it for the las month with no success. Apparently it all depends what build # you have. My build is: SHOLS_U2_03.04.0

Slight difference from release ver, I've got SHOLS_U2_03.06.0

Damn so what does this mean? Are we screwed? We need a smartphone guru to get a telus milestone so he roots it?

I think that's pretty much it, except I can't afford to send Haykuro a Milestone just to get it rooted
