I have used the search feature on this forum with no results for WM6 for my Motorola Q. It says "Radio Version Q2-BP_C_06.0C.05P,Q2 Portable" if that helps anyone any. It's running Windows Mobile 5.0 (OS 5.1.195 Build 14960.2.4.0) and I just wanted to know if there was an upgrade I could get ahold of. If so, could someone link me to it or link me to the forum thread? The search for "Motorola Q" kept giving me an error stating that (Q) didn't serve as a high enough peremeter and I kind of figured it wasn't seeing Motorola for some reason (only God knows why).
I'd think it would be possible as the Q9m from Verizon is more or less the same phone as the Q in a new case with WM6.
Yeah the possability is there. I just wonder, does anyone have a link to an upgrade? Because I know that T-Mobile users even got to download the OS as an upgrade for their phones (from what I heard).
There's no upgrade official ROM for Motorola Q CDMA and it always keep stay in WM5.......
Hi,
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I have looked in as many threads on here as I can find and none seem to answer my question.
I'm looking for a 2.x rom for a Garmin-Asus A10. I'm from New Zealand and the carrier branded handsets here are stuck on Android 1.6. I have a few colleagues who are having issues with this handset using exchange, and according to some research, 1.6 is a bit crap at handling exchange.
What I am hoping to do is flash a 2.x rom to one of our demo handsets and do a side by side comparison of the handset running 1.6 and 2.x. However I am unable to find a rom to do this with...is there anyone out there who is able to provide any kind of 2.x rom for it at all?
I'm not just looking for a quick fix for someone to do this for me, I'm interested in getting in to rom development but cooking roms is a bit over my head at the moment.
Any help would be awesome, and again, sorry if this is a noob question, I just can't seem to find this information anywhere.
Cheers
open market firmware update garmin asusu A10 eclair
Dear A10'ers,
The Danish site of garmin-asus left the front door open to get 3 firmware updates through their site.
One of them is the open market "softwareopdateringer". Click on the link and cancel 4 times and you'll get the install software, by unpacking it you can see that they use XML code to download the update file from the garmin site.
I hope that this information gives a true hacker the opportunity to make it possible to use the open market version for a branded telephone to be updated to 2.1.
Greetings and good luck to you all,
asdfghjklµ
Is this the only way to get a 2.1 rom? I figured all that would need to be done would be to extract the 2.1 rom (I know, probably not quite that easy) from an existing A10 running 2.1...
Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?
Edit: I just realised by "open market" you are probably referring to a rom without carrier branding. Do all A10s running 2.1 have carrier branding or have I completely missed the point here?
I was searching for this as well and it looks like they have updated it on there site but you have to do a bit of digging to find it. Its a Telecom rom as well so its official. I cant post urls as I am new here but got to garminasus dot com. then click the location on the top right making sure its set to NZ. Its then under support - software updates. Instructions there as well. Nice christmas present
Oh that must have been very recent, I have checked up on that regularly and it hasn't been there. I'll have to have another look, thanks for the heads up.
Almost the whole reason I haven't switched from WinMo yet is because of garmin mobile xt. I procured it in 2008 but they don't sell or update it anymore but the new maps still work albeit the .exe is 2.5 years old.
I asked a couple times about this and never got a competent response, but if that garmin android software that I can't buy because Garmin and Asus are retarded could be ripped from a ROM dump I'd commission it. Asus makes my mobos but HTC makes my phones. Also, in rural areas of the United States Navteq maps get me lost less than TeleAtlas does.And I like garmin's trip configurator, GUI, and routing engine. In before "use GMM...", usually when I need GPS I'm in an EDGE area or no service whatsoever, so it's nice to be able to navigate without worrying about AT$T's crappy network not existing properly.
Rooted Garmin Asus A10 Need ROM
Hi.
Got a few questions to a man with a bigger brain than my self.
First of:
Just got my Garmin Asus A10 rooted with SuperOneClick - Great tool btw.
I've installed setCPU, set the min+high freqz to 600mhz - hoping on a better benchmark with Quadrant but the result where actually lower then before the root and freq settings.
Second of:
What am i doing wrong?
Do i need a ROM? - If Yes, then what ROM should i use?
Third of:
What about my Kernel, do i need a stronger heart to my 2.1 Eclaire.
Hope to hear from someone.
System information:
Rooted Danish Garmin Asus A10 with a contract @Telenor - Denmark.
Firmwareversion: 2.1-update1
Kernelversion: 2.6.29 [email protected] #28
Buildversion: A10-V5.0.69-user-20101022
If you're wanting a higher clock speed you will need to flash a custom kernel. I'm not sure if there are many developers on here who have made kernels for this phone, but as far as I'm aware, that's the only way to overclock.
A custom rom may help with the quadrant benchmark score, but I have been unable to find any custom roms for this device. I don't know if I just have been looking in the wrong places or if rom developers just aren't interested.
I'd be interested to hear how you get on. I just updated one to the official 2.1 Telecom XT build today, definite improvement all round. Prior to about 2 days ago they were all stuck on 1.6, which inspired my quest to find custom roms for it lol.

sMy Sentiments exactly! I bought my first winmo phone in 2008 and have been stuck with them purely because of the GMXT software that it can run. However, android OS has proven itself as a stable mobile system now, i would like to migrate to a green man platform, but am stuck with my Acer S-200 running GMXT on a modded rom. Can anyone extract the Android installer (CAB/APK) file out of the GarminAsus A10 rom, and post it? this would help us Garmin Mobile XT aficionados make the final plunge into the Android Phone Market.

I agree. I have Garmin XT on my HTC. I was loving the idea with the Garminfone here, but couldn't afford the $899 price tag it came with retail. waiting for a bit for the prices to come down on TradeMe...

I m in France and i bought my xt720 in july!!!! Just 4 month old !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, but Motoroi IS getting 2.2 in Q4. Isn't that the same as XT720? Also, I have an XT720, I'm in the US, and they don't even list that model for US phones at all!

yes, currently US XT720 and Asia-Pacific Milestone XT is not in the list yet. According to what's happened to Backflip, only US backflip got 2.1 update and the rest of the whole world has to live with 1.5. So, US XT720 has a very high chance of getting the upgrade.
for Motoroi, The WCDMA module and camera module is different. so, I'm not sure it would work with your US XT720. At least, you'll loose your 3G and camera functions.

what about StarHub XT 720 from Singapore?
will they dumb us like the rest of the world
if that so this is the last time I buy Motorola phone

according to what's written on Motorola's Forum, StarHub's XT 720 is officially called Milestone XT and they have not yet put it into the list. so, just wait and see.
let assume starhub milestone xt will get froyo update
would it be possible to flash uk xt720 to starhub firmware?

Absolutely possible. But you'll need a way to find your own language pack. (that's the only different). And that's also I'm having doubt for Milestone XT to get Froyo update. Language pack is so easy to add in the rom for them. So, if they're planning to upgrade Milestone XT, there definitely should be an update for XT720 EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) phones.
Let's wait and see what they'll do for US XT720. If I'm not wrong, they'll deliver update for US XT720 (similar things happened to BackFlip).
My main doubt is about 8MP camera module. Seems like they can't make it work with Froyo. That's why XT720 Froyo update is pending (MOTOROI has got 5MP module)
I`m not sure that the camera is problem... 5 or 8MP is all most the same... I think that the camera hardware is same in all XT/Motoroi series, but in XT720 is 8MP with software emulation.
My hope is Motoroi XT720 (XT711)... This Korean version will receive 2.2 this year (will see...), the hardware is 98% the same, difference are minimal (according gsmarena.com) :
- Some DVB-T tuner
- Only 2100 HSDPA (In europe this is the same)
I`m trying to find Korean 2.1 original rom to flash my XT720... if 2.1 works, I think that 2.2 will work too.
if some one can give me link to Korean rom I will try and write result.

you can download Korean ROM at the above link. I support your idea. may be we can install Korean ROM and do a little modification to our needs.
OK, Now I`m with Korean Service rom.. The phone boot and work normal for the moment.
I will check it today, but I think that this will be the solution if Motorola dont release update to 2.2....
I must change keyboard... my korean is not very good
This is good news! Waiting 2.2 on motoroi

Mmm... no so good for the moment.
Sorry, but my English is not very good to describe everything. After I flash Korean rom (service version) I have this problems:
- Must add manual my operator
- cannot find APN in the menus and for the moment don`t have data
- The touch buttons don`t lights (but light when tel. boot up...)
- The proximity sensor have his own opinion how and when to work ;-)
I decide to flash because I have another phone to use. Today I was out of time to test more precise the phone with Korean rom, but I will these days.
It will be better if someone how knows Android OS well support us in this, because I`m not a software expert... It`s no problem to use me for all king of tests and experiments, but don`t ask me to create scripts and roms
thats sounds good so far!
It's no prolem to chance the "apns-conf.xml". Then there will be Data again
The Light of the touchbottoms is also a setting in the "build.prop". So no problem again
The sensor MIGHT be a problem but if it sometimes works, then a wrong setting will be the problem.

We cannot change them... The are too big and don`t care for few clients (because the angry clients are 2-10%).
And of course.. Google is wrong... It`s impossible to control, support and update new OS every 6 months... and for 5-10 phones from a brand.
The only way is customization...

[email protected] I bought the android device nüvifone a50. It comes with eclair. I heared, that the joined-venture between garmin and asus is at the end. So, there`ll be no official rom-updates to gingerbread or so in the future. I think, this device is a very good one. And it would be great, if some of the great rom-cookers from this forum would create a custom rom based on an gingerbread-rom in german and english language.
I`ll not a rom cooker, but i have already rooted my device and i would learn more about rom-cooking, adb, busy-box pp.
Would anybody help me?
Best regards

I would also love to see a Gingerbread ROM for the A50.
Is it possibel to use any of the other ROM's or does the phone need to have a Rom made specfically for it?
I'd also love to see Gingerbread or Froyo on this phone, is anyone going to make one?
hey guys sorry for interrupting!!! I just was passing looking for something else, garmin asus wont support any rom after 2.1 because the chip does not support this OS.
basically its 256 ROM, 256 RAM, 600 MHtz CPU, ARMv6
but you need ARMv7
btw, I would be happy to have it on mine too.

Hi I 'M a new man here . i bought asus garmin a50 last week .i think it's costs-effective android phone . the hardware almost same as the htc legend,excpet the ram .256vs 387(right).so why htc legend could update to froyo ,a50 can't ???
The A50 (Garminfone) has the 600mhz ARMv6 msm7227. Same as HTC Aria and Legend. Froyo can definitely run on it with official manufacturer roms and custom roms (although it may not be *officially* supported by Google Android 2.2).
We just need someone to figure out the bootloader and cook a rom. I think there is little motivation to do this though, since it will almost certainly kill the Garmin GPS software, which is why most people bought this phone in the first place.
There is some talk on the Cyanogen rom forums about developing a techniques to load a custom rom and still keep the Garmin software, like Cyanogen does with Google Apps. I won't be holding my breath though...
Thread: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/5864-garminfone-a50/
Thanks sharky for this information - just hope I guess
Chas
i know it's not going to happen officially, but i hold out hope that someone smarter than me is working away at making froyo work for us
What I know is the upgraded os can run apps designed for lower os. This is fact in developing applications. for example app runs on 2.1 will run 2.3.
the dilemma is that asus garmin uses special lib for garmin application these libs need to be ported to the new os. and this is not easy to be done.
thanks
looks no hope yet?

I think its a joke, I bricked my previous phone with crap information and thats enough. never trust morons again.
say it like this
i asked them for 18 months for froyo and they were thinking about it.
send emails to eric chen at asus. we might get a shot at froyo.
every time i buy a non asus or garmin product i send a email to the appropriate company explaining why i am not buying their product.
this tickles them.
still both companies are still at it.
ask any eepad transformer prime owner why they bought a tablet without wifi or gps.
ask anyone who paid for a 12 month map package with garmin and then found 6 months later that they have to pay again for the same package to upgrade it.
yes only garmin would exclude upgrades from a 12 mth package.
fink x fink breeds superfink ...garmin x asus breeds garminasus.
bomb eric chen at asustek with emails until we get service.
I have a Garmin Assus A50 and i don't mind to delete all the existing app or function in the phone include the garmin navigation app. is that possible can upgrade to froyo or higher?
don't think it will ever happen
I don't think or believe will see anything higher then 2.1 on the garmin-asus phone, wish we would.
