It was time for another update from https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads.

It's so easy with OpenRecovery G.O.T.:

  • Download
  • Copy to OpenRecovery/updates using the USB connection.
  • Reboot into Recovery, if you already have CyanogenMod.
  • Run the update from Misc menu.
  • Reboot

It was just about time to update my Motorola Milestone to the latest CynogenMod at https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads, providing Android 2.3.7.

The steps I applied included

  • the download of update-cm-7.1.0.7-Milestone-KANG-signed.zip from https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads,
  • the transfer of that zip file to OpenRecovery/updates using USB connection,
  • the reboot the device to G.O.T. OpenRecovery,
  • the update using the zip file and
  • the cleanup of the caches using the 2 options in OpenRecovery.

Android 2.3/CyanogenMod 7 for Milestone

Please find the final CM7 release at the usual place: https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads

Since power on my Milestone is down to 5%, I first have to wait for appropriate capacity of the battery before I can update my RC4 to the final release.

Done, my Milestone is now running CM7 and since I already did the RC4 installation before, it was easy:

  • Putting the ZIP for CM7 in OpenRecovery/Updates.
  • Restart Milestone into Recovery.
  • Start OpenRecovery G.O.T. by applying update.zip.
  • Apply the CM7 zip using the appropriate action of the Miscellaneous menu.
  • Reboot and that's it.
