While users of other Android phones have been enjoying their custom ROMs for quite some time, Motorola Milestone users have not been as fortunate. The problem lies in the fact that Milestoners (ha, thats a funny name for them) can’t unlock the phone’s bootloader. This makes loading custom ROMs a great deal more difficult, but not yet impossible.

Word amongst the community is that they’re close to a “kexec” solution. Employing a kexec means a new kernel would be executed on top of the stock one without rebooting, and at that point a custom ROM is fairly easy to slip in.
