So Kyocera says that the phone is easily upgraded to 2.0 or 2.1, but I am trying to figure out a way to do to it without rooting my phone. Because I am going to have to give this phone to some one in about two weeks and they don't want it rooted, so can any one tell me a way to upgrade it to 2.1 or at least 2.0 without rooting?
as of right now there is no way to upgrade it until kyrocera or Cricket releases an update......
there are a few people working on a sprint zio 2.1 port but there is no OFFICIAL way of upgrading at all at this time.....

Hey all,
I rooted my 2.1 Evo using Unrevoked about a month ago, and I keep putting off the OTA updates to 2.2. How do I update to 2.2 and maintain root (and wi-fi hotspot), if that's possible? My H-boot is 0.79.0000. That's about the extent I know about all this. Could someone shoot me a link in the right direction? Looking for some basic noob directions.
Eternally grateful.
Hello all,
I got the LG optimus M and well.....it's pretty crappy....BUT I can make it less crappy, of course that means rooting it, which cannot be done due to the 2.2.1 update it comes with. TL;DR Is there a way to downgrade form 2.2.1, without bricking my phone?
ok i have an idea i didnt do the update but got the rooted update of 2.3 on my phone
yet my girlfriend has to unroot her phone due to defective phone so she came back with it updated and so is it possible i can downgrade the firmware to 2.2 as if i was going to unroot it then place root then add the rooted 2.3 update from XDA?
if so please agree.
Much appreciated !
Hi everyone,
I'm probably beating a dead horse, but I'm a total newb regarding rooting etc. I have an HTC Droid Inc 2 with 0.98.0000 (2.3.4) and would like to root my phone. I realize that the only way to root this phone is to downgrade it to 2.3.3 so that it can be S-offed. I'm trying to decide as to whether or not it would be worth downgrading. Would I be able to upgrade after rooting? If a version update is finally available, would I be able to upgrade without having to unroot? Also how do firmware updates from Verizon play into this? Can they be installed manually after rooting? Thanks in advance for your advice.
The other day I let the Samsung Company lead me when they said there was an update for my phone. Thinking that I would enjoy the lovely 4.0 ICS as a change from the Nice 2.3.6 GB. I let Samsung talk me into flashing my alltel phone. Low and behold they gave me a USC flash to replace my current Alltel network. This is the first time doing something this drastic to my cellphone and now I don't have any data communication on my phone. Does anyone know where I can find an alltel gingerbread flash for the Galaxy S2 SCH-R760. I've searched (what I feel as) Everywhere and can't find anything. My phone is only 2-3 months old so I would prefer not to root it.

I am trying to root.. I also have Alltel Samsung Galaxy S II 4.52 inch Model SCH-R760.. It's also running stock Gingerbread 2.3.6, and since there won't be any OTA Official updates for this particular model, I am going to try to root and update to ICS or Jellybean.. I have looked at several forums, and I have never root before.. Yep I'm a NOB.. Can anyone help me, who has this device and successfully rooted..
Of course I would rather not root, but to the best of my knowledge, it's the only way I will be able to get ICS or Jellybean..
