What a way to make people know that it's not new

New is the version 2.2.1 instead of 2.2 (see history of the page)
Otherwise i don't know what is difference

This isn't new it is the same .sbf that my ROM is based on

The download link is the same, they just modified the description.

I looked it and the link was already clicked by me. So it's the same.

Does flash work after superoneclick root?

Yeap, did superoneclick root and flash still works everytime.

Meanwhile I tried it on my phone and I'm still having the flash bug, right after fresh, clean install... Did you apply any fix?

No, no fixes. I did flash over 2.34 though if that makes a difference.

Mods could delete this topic as long as this rom isnt new, so ppl wont spend time here.

Well, I don't know if it's new are not but I do know that it's fully working unlike the last one I tried. I'm a happy guy. Yesterday I thought I had a bricked Defy(thanks to Sorensiim for his McGyver trick) and today I have a fully functional Froyo Defy.
ROM is rooted
3G works
Camera/Flash works
Google apps and market work
For those interisted I went from a clean install of 2.34. Did a wipe. Installed the new(?) chinese froyo 2.2.1 ROM. Wiped again. And all is well.

In this rom, is there a bootloader file?
Maybe there is a unlocked bootloader because some one said he could flash all the time all now?
Which Language is inside?
COuld we go back to stock rom?

Sadly, I haven't found anything related to unlocking the bootloader in the boot image.
This is the fxz for the chinese ME865, one would be crazy to flash it to one's american MB865 (though I would be interested in the results )

Shouldn't it still work even though it is the Chinese FXZ. Although you might need a translator to work your phone right LoL

it should still have the languages though

Yeah I was just joking around about the language LoL. But with all said and done right now we would flash using RSD lite correct. Could this be made into a flashable zip that we could use with our bootstrap?

I thought the bootstrap wasn't flashing things properly?

It's not a big deal for me to read Chinese....lol
After all, It's my native language.....
But under the setting part should have language selection...
Thinking about flash it on my, Cuz AT&T version doesnt have Chinese display. That made some of my apps can't work right

Anybody flash it yet? I'm restraining myself from doing it, because I feel there's a chance it may have the unlock for the bootloader, If memory serves me correctly, it was from a leaked China based firmware for the ATRIX, that revealed the unlock for the OG ATRIX. I maybe mixing it up with the Photon, but who knows.

With the original Atrix there were some issues with international builds not commpatible with USA builds, and there were some bricks along the way. There were even bricks with trying to roll back firmware after the gingerbread update. Patience for me, I am not ready to brick mine.

You can flash just the boot loader if interested... I would but I am working on another bootloader hack to break the current bootloader open, or I would flash just the bootloader, that is one thing that can be tried.... Who still has time on their 30 day return left, that wants to try this:
using the android SDK run the following using the boot.img from this Chinese image
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then boot into the boot loader with holing the volume down buttom while powering the phone on
Then
fastboot oem unlock ( this should give you output that gives your id )
fastboot oem unlock #### ( the ####'s are the uid you recieved from the command above ).
Then reboot the phone. You may have to erase your userdata with:
fastboot erase userdata
Hopefully you won't have to do this...
This might be worth a try.

Attention: Chinese users have got a newer 5.5.1-1_GC-90_EDISION-6 (offical update)as this one has an issue that the signal can not be above -75dBm

Could this be ics? Bootloaders unlocked?
Sent from my MB865 using Tapatalk

Do you have a link that you can share?

No. The Chinese update to fix the -75dB issue is 2.3.6.
Also it breaks the root method but supposedly it's possible to keep root with an app "OTA Rootkeeper".
I'm not 100% sure but I don't think the Chinese bootloader is unlocked.
(poking around here with machine translations can be... unclear )
Saw a story on there that Motorola engineers were actually dispatched to the poster's house to test the fixed baseband with the customer.
I wish we could get that kind of service in the USA.

It is the chinese 2.3.6 OTA update (Blur_Version.55.86.6.ME865.ChinaRetail.en.CN)
and the 2.3.5 fireware.
can anyone do something more?

No such luck.....
I tore this apart, and this has the same bootloader as our MB865 with a couple minor differences due to what looks like a slight hardware difference on the ME865.

started back up fine after firmware flash but when i tryed to go into recovery from bootloader phone wouldnt start up. Tryed reboot from bootloader and phone wont start at all but i still can get into bootloader . anyone else have this problem. Seems off because the phone did start up fine after i flash the firmware. Seem from other post that i needed to refresh my rom for camera to work so thats what i was going to do when this happen
Got it started back up after powering down from bootloader . it looks like i have to reflash recovery..anyone else had to do this?

This post is for developers ... you not going to get much help here
but i can tell you this ... you would not normally flash the whole firmware zip
you edit it in 7zip and remove the recovery.img and hboot if you don't want it updated
some also remove the boot.img it seems to break the camera. Just a FYI

I flashed this and for first time flashing firwmares I lost root and now instead of 3G icon its showing ATT 4g Icon lol!

Can anyone extract out the camera apk for me from this firmware so I can compare to previous. Thank you devs.

S7 Snapdragon Battery Blues

Hey guys,
So I'm running a stock S7 (AT&T) and have read tons of threads about how to fix battery drain, etc etc. And I'm not finding any great result.
I've tried different debloats and dumbing down lots of system settings, but haven't found that sweet spot yet. I know disabling some things can end up causing further drain, so maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Has there been any definitive solution to fixing the Android System drain? Mine is constantly 30% or more drain at the end of the day.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Firmware . Mostly older firmwares like apc8 or apf2.

API2 has an updated bootloader. You can't downgrade to any other version of the AT&T firmware unless it's Bootloader 4... This is what I meant when I said "You can't go back."

Stay on stock for awhile and try not to take any OTAs. There are multiple complaints about the latest updates causing a lot of battery drain.

Do exactly as its in this but change AP , CP and CSC as per new downloaded file .
You will be then on unrooted API2 but it has Android system battery drain

Ah, alright. Thanks a lot, man. I'll do this when I get home. I keep getting pesky update requests!

I read everything over and i see what you're talking about. Download and flash all updates besides the BL which is the bootloader... But I'm trying to get away from the battery drain. Should I flash a previous firmware instead of the current for better battery life?
Also, what's the big benefit of having an older bootloader? So you can upgrade and downgrade at will?

NOOB to Xperia! Flshing customized UK 7.0 ROM in place of Carrier Specific

Hi guys
I recently acquired an Xperia XZ, and ive had a few phones in my time, predominantly HTC, and Samsung.
My phone is 3UK branded, and i can see from the XperiFirm that UK custom is available to flash (3UK are terribly slow at updating their handsets)
Now i understand flashtool isnt ready yet for 7.0, but, is there anything stopping me from using the Customized UK at all? Does it de-brand the phone? wold be nice to remove all the bloatware, whilst remaining unrooted (as yes i use Android Pay and Pokemon Go lol)
Any advice would be great!
Thanks

There will be no carrier stuff on the FTF, but there is not much on the 3 UK one anyway.
There is no risk of anything like losing DRM as that can only happen if you unlock the bootloader
