Defy Upgrade Firmware From 2.1 - Defy Android Development

Hi, basically I would like to update to the latest available stock ROM that Motorola has released.
I try to use Software Update but it says there is nothing available; however, I am on 2.1 only.
Can someone help? I am in South Africa.

Don't know what's the latest Froyo avaiable, but you can start in the SBF thread (the firstat this forum). There's a list and instructions there.
And you are in the wrong forum, use general next time.

what is yr phone build id...
can you post the about phone details here so that we can help you

If you cannot find it on the forum or the wiki, that means that no-one with an original Indian ROM on his phone did a dump yet (or at least, (s)he did not share it). Don't you know anyone with an Indian TP that has the Stock ROM installed still? You can then dump the ROM from his/her phone and put it on yours. (you'll find a how-to on the forum)
Hey I have a stock ROM for the Indian TP. How do I do a dump of it?
asksaravana - What ROM are u using? Are you able to activate 3G on ur phone even though HTC left it out of Indian version.
Thanks!

Can you do me a favour?

Dump your SPL also

Flashed EnergyROm
Can someone please help me out here?
I flashed Energy ROM (the latest Sep 6 release).
After I did so, EDGE stopped working. I am in India, the Touch Pro here has the 7201 processor and not the 7206 processor as is there in the rest of the world. 7201 doesn't support 3G. Max it can handle is EDGE.
In Energyrom, I saw the 3G option (on/off) in Communication Settings. Data connection (on/off) was also there. I could not turn data connection on at all.
I then went back to the HTC India official update that came in around Mar 09 on the HTC India site. This link is given below.
http://www.htc.com/in/supportdownloa...act=sd&cat=all
Before flashing Energy Rom I had this version anyway. In this version, the
3G option in comm. settings was never seen.
Now even though I have got back to HTC's rom, EDGE doesn't work. I can't turn data connection now in this ROM. The funny thing is that the processor name has become 7206. I had read about this on another thread that flashing ROMs that are built for 7201 makes the processor name show up wrongly.
Any idea whats wrong? Have I damaged the phone?
HTC Touch Pro
ROM Version 1.95.720.6 WWE
Rom date 03/27/09
Radio version 1.13.25.24
Protocol version 52.62.25.34G

Moved to the Raphael subforum
Sorry, i'm not an authority on indian telecoms (or even HTC tech to be honest!) but i would suspect you have flashed your radio (either as part of a ROM flash or seperatly) and thats why you cant get your radio (i am assuming you have checked your software settings - and checked that any problems arent local / network related).
Assuming its a radio issue (and i'm not 100% saying it is) then check out the radio thread in the rom forum & try a different one (radios dont require a hard reset so are quick to change - ensure you have the correct rilphone.dll - and it would appear you have hard spl as you have already changed rom) so good luck!
[you are very unlikely to have damaged the hardware of your phone by flashing a different raphael rom from here]

I somehow got it working again. Could not exactly trace how it got working though. I flashed the rom again with the HTC Mar 09 release for India. Got it working.
Btw, before this I updated the rilphone as per the radio as suggested. That did not get it working.
Thanks anyway!

How to change from european to firmware with chinese input

Hi,
i've got a sensation with a t-mobile rom.
I didnt update to the last android version. I would like to update to a rom where i can use chinese input, but can use android market as well.
I know the stock firmware in china doesnt include android market for license reason or something.
Or do i have to use some custom mod?
followed this guide and installed the asia RUU
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17183307
works fine now

New to Desire S, how are RUUs titled

Hi all
Hello to fellow desire S users and XDA teams... Im just new to the desire S, but have a galaxy s, so Im not new to flashing a Rom, but I know the proces is very different on each phone.
While I can understand the process of flashing the Desire S rom (read up on it basically ), Im not sure how the versions of the RUUs are titled, so what is the latest UK stock ROM for the S.
My phone is supposed to be Virgin UK, but from what I can tell in the settings its actually unlocked: Carrier :- No information".
Many thanks and Respect to the devs
Night
OK... Ive been reading around the forum..
There are quite a few links to different lists..
Im sure ill find it.

I'd prefer you make a "Gold card" prior to flashing an RUU unless you're up to the task of recovering from a soft-brick. Beyond that, it really doesn't matter whichever RUU you flash
NB: I've flashed most RUUs aside the Chinese ones - without a Gold Card. Don't know if I've been having a lucky run but my phone was bought off the open market (unbound to any particular carrier). If that helps.

Thanks for the reply.. I wasnt sure whether that question was a bit of a "Thats been answered so many times on here" kinda one, so I figured no one would reply.
I did a OTA update last night and my Software Info says:
Android: 235 / Sense ver: 3.0 / Software No: 2.13.351.6 / Kernel: 2.8.35.10...Fri Oct 7 2011 / Baseband: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04_M,
it looks like theres a newer 235 out now.
I also tried both Orange UK and O2 UK SIM cards and both recieved a signal, so it looks like it is Virgin software installed but the phone itself is unlocked.
So Ill look at a more uptodate EU / UK firmare.
Many thanks and, I am new to the Desire S, so any other advice would be great
EDIT:
Do I have the latest one... File factory says their EU one (1month, 2 weeks) is 2.10.401.9.. is that correct?.
Which RUU
I have a Vodafone branded HTC desire s. I need a RUU to downgrade HBOOT, but I only see one option for RUU, which is RUU_Saga_Vodafone_UK_1.32.161.1_Radio_20.28b.30.0805U_38.03. I know this RUU is for Vodafone, but I'm scared of using it incase it changes my radio, i understand it shouldn't make it unusable, as its still on Vodafone, but I don't want to break my phone. My current radio version is 3822.10.08.04_M.
Any Vodafone users used this RUU? Success stories please :-D And any helpful comments
If you look at the Software No.the third group of numbers stands for the version:
Example 1.28.401.1, 1.47.401.4, 2.10.401.4, 2.10.401.5, 2.10.401.8
401 - clean European unbranded version
405 – World Wide English generic version
720 - version for India
707 - Asian version
111 - T-Mobile version
206 - O2 UK version
etc....
Going by you latest OTA your software No is 2.13.351.6 which would suggest that 351 stands for the Virgin UK version.
When using RUU’s (ROM Upgrade Utilities) they will only upgrade the Image version from one with an older Software Number to one with a newer Software Number. They will not downgrade (which I guess is why they are called what they are!) .
To downgraded your Hboot you need to look at the developers section where you will find plenty of guidance.

Looks like mine is outdated then. Many Thanks for the info bjlabuk. Ill make up a Gold Card. I also noticed My radio version is the same as EU 401, so thats great.
Is there any other download links apart from File Factory.. 28k/s (5 h) what a nightmare.
Also, Ive noticed my memory is quite full - only 125MB left.. Is that normal? I thought it had 768MB.
On the galaxy S, you can boot into a recovery mode to erase the Cache and OS partition and to remove old OS files, does the Desire S have something like that, Is that why my RAM is filled up, old files?.

Radio
Thank you. I also wish to know if using the RUU listed In my previous post will mess with my radio, or will it not matter as it is still Vodafone?

I bought the SGS2 rooted from Hungary and when I connected it to KIES it still recognised the software as official and when I went to my home country Malta it managed to upgrade to ICS. Since that time I flashed other roms and never went back to samsung official roms (unless they are not modified).
The other thing you should think of is you can always revert back to the official GB if something goes wrong. Just be sure that you can download the official firmware for your country so that you will have it when you need it back.
Good luck with your flashing If you need something do not hesitate to ask, I will do my best to help

Well, i bought my phone here in the Philippines. Also i came across a thailand firmware while searching and it matches mine, but the link is not available anymore.
So if you can find/give a stock firmware for me it will really help me a lot.
p.s. i cant post links yet so google "s7500dxlb1" and view the one that says "S7500DXLB1 Android 2.3.6 Thailand Firmware Download" to see the link im talking about.

would this work on my phone?, the file says "S7500DXMG3" and the one installed in my phone stocked is version S7500DXLB1.
Ans
Don't be worry.
I live in Taiwan but I can flash even German version( I've tried before)
This firmware is the latest. I think your version is older one. Samsung released several version to make it stable, so the latest version is the stablest version and it will also add some new features.
Actually, all S7500 firmware is suitable but you have to notice that your area.
Because I found I flash German 2.3.6 stock firmware and I cannot have stock Chinese keyboard in it.
Flash your country version is the best choice.
p.s. if you flash from a custom rom, don't forget to back up data you want and do factory reset. it will make your S7500 work like a new phone
thanks a lot
