Updated to 2.0.1

[big_adventure]

EDIT: I installed two different terminal emulators. Running su causes the phone to ask if I want to whitelist the terminal app for superuser privs, and if I say yes, the application is added to the list, BUT su does not change me to root (no # prompt). So following my example will lose your root.
.

Have you tried choosing 'always ' then retry some user have been experiencing 'hang after clicking yes instead always ' please try clicking 'always then restart the whole thing se if it says permissin denied , because unless you get permission denied you have not been denied SU . # = we win ...
thx for your input , btw was wondering is your keyboard qwerty ? did the letters changedplace after flashing ?

To further clarify, someone with rooted 2.0 sent me their ls -l output for the /system/bin directory. The su file is tagged suid for root (rwsr-xr-x, or 4755) as opposed to mine, which is tagged rwxr-xr-x (aka 755). Someone else (intelligently) bothered to open the run script in the upgrade, and it quite clearly passes a recursive set_perm to 755 on every file in the bin directory.

But they have now figured out how to root 2.0.1 - at least according to a poster on AllDroid.

I had my milestone rooted before I upgrade to 2.0.1, and now my su is 755.

-rwxr-xr-x root     shell        5480 2010-01-19 23:46 su
$ su
su
su: permission denied
$

And when I issue a su, I got permission denied on adb shell, although I accept the notification on the phone.
This application was (and still is) present in the whitelist.

If you look at my reply right above, you'll see that the problem is the missing suid bit for root on the su file. I didn't know it was there, because I never looked in the 11 hours my phone was rooted and on 2.0.

Can I update to 2.0.1 using the file on alldroid.org and then go back to my official 2.0? How do I do that?

I just updated my US purchased milestone to 2.0.1 following the instructions on the linked alldroid post using RSD Lite. I also kept root on the device after flashing the 2.0.1 update and then yanking the battery and flashing the rooted update.zip file. I verified that I have root by running backup for root users and getting through the permission thing for root backups. My phone now says 2.0.1.

I bought the phone here in the US from amazon.

There were a few anxious moments trying to figure out how to add in the motodev flash drivers on win7 but got through that as well. Then the phone flashes using RSD Lite and its all easy after that.

All in all, a very exciting hour or so hunting down drivers, flashing the milestone, retaining root on it to 2.0.1.

No way to go back to 2.0 that I've seen, but that would really just be a matter of someone posting YOUR 2.0 image to reflash with RSD List.

I am all set to follow down a similar path. My Milestone was also bought off Amazon, but it is the German version with the Z and Y keys switched. What happens to this once you update to 2.0.1 using the alldroids file?
Secondly, does it mean that for future updates, the phone will connect to a different server than the German one (assuming the server path is hardcoded into the firmware)?
The German version does not have Voice search or Google Navigation. Would love to switch to a firmware which has these inbuilt (the UK version, perhaps?)

The Google Maps from the Droid works fine on 2.0 or 2.0.1. You can find it on these forums. The de-odex'ed VoiceSearch.apk from 2.0 UK or Droid (which DID work on 2.0) does not work with 2.0.1, however, because libvoice.so is a different version. The HK rom seems to support VoiceSearch natively, though, since it is an English language build. If you have a problem, I am currently searching for a de-odexed 2.0.1 voice search which I will post once I get it.

I assume your phone is not the German version. Went though the alldroids thread, and it seems the French update cannot be installed on the German Milestone phones because of different kernels.

Looks like I will have to go with th HK firmware. Apparently, as per this post, that works fine on the German phones. And yes, I am hoping Google Translate gives me the right translation of these instructions!

Btw, maybe you could check this ROM for a working voicesearch.apk?

Unfortunately, those in the rom are odex'd. This means that you need root to install. That is why I asked for a de-odex'd version
