After some mods I could get Defy's boot menu to work on Milestone2. Will test it further before trying CM7 + Boot menu.

Great news

Great News ppl!

I was able to flash my own update.zip into this damned Milestone2 phone. It looks like the /system protection is only engaged when you format /system partition or when you delete recursively the bare /system directory. But it is possible to remove the contents of every single /system sub-directory without being punished by the M logo lockdown. It's very simple indeed and the idea come from the updater-script of Droid2 Fission ROM.

To achieve this result you should remove the following lines of updater-script:
- any format command issued to /system
- delete_recursive("/system");

And replace for this lines:
delete_recursive("/system/app/");
delete_recursive("/system/etc/");
delete_recursive("/system/fonts/");
delete_recursive("/system/framework/");
delete_recursive("/system/lib/");
delete_recursive("/system/media/");
delete_recursive("/system/tts/");
delete_recursive("/system/usr/");
delete_recursive("/system/xbin/");

Also my custom update.zip where able to start ADB while the phone is still booting.

Very nice

I had exactly the same problem as yours while flashing roms a while ago

you won' t fix it with the baseband switching app that comes for instance with milestone 2 toolbox (it did not work for me)

you have to follow the full procedure described here

this should certainly work

From that chinese forum gfan, I used google translate to find the rom heh and suffered a beyond slow download rate on u.115.com, I'm finishing uploading it to a eastern server.

The original file is located at u.115.com/file/bh5durqs#
click on the button I circled red to download it


edit: I'll update this post with the multiupload.com link as soon as it's done, 10minutes to finish.

edit 2: There we go, the signed gingerbread rom: http://www.multiupload.com/V88C09ZFH5
