If you have an MSI windpad 7 or 10 and want to update its firmware, here is the link to the latest : http://event.msi.com/nb/enjoy/enjoy7.html#/?div=Firmware
Fair warning : This 2.3 gingerbread update doesn't improve performance much, it looks better than android 2.2 but people report different bugs that I didn't experience myself.
A bug I am experiencing with it is that its bluetooth and wifi are going crazy, not detecting devices like they used to do on android 2.2. be warned if you use this tablet with your car's bluetooth, it probably will stop connecting to it after the 2.3 update.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE : if anyone just bought this tablet and still has android 2.2 on it, please be cool and catch an image of it to share with us who updated to the buggy firmware. MSI customer support sucks, they don't keep old firmware on their website!
Here's how you can make an "image" of your firmware : http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
You should end up with a .img file that you can reinstall later if you find out the update is buggy for you.
Don't hesitate to post or PM me if you need help.
Hi adilator, just found this post via a google search. I have a windpad 7 that I havent updated yet. Am happy to do an image of it when I get home later.
Was hoping to find a way to get Skype video working on the damn thing but guessing this firmware update doesnt help so wont put myself through it
Hi leemako.
The normal skype you download from android play (market) doesn't work on this tablet, you need to use the one bundled with its original firmware. if you updated skype and it's not working, you can easily revert the update and go back to the original installation by going to the applications management page and click on "unistall updates".
is your tab on android 2.2 or did it come with 2.3 preinstalled?
I'd really appreciate your help if you can share the img with us.
Btw, if you must root the tab, don't do the root img available on a thread in this forum, it will install a new version of the firmware with the bug I'm trying to avoid. You should test the various froyo root tools available such as Z4root or gingerbreak, look here : http://www.itsmyiphoneworld.com/android-device/howtorootandroidversionfroyo222
ah sorry, I just checked and it was bundled with 2.3.1.
Hey it's ok leemako.
For anyone landing on this page after a search, if you're looking for the best custom rom for this tablet, here's where you should look : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1668786
It's a great rom based on the latest official rom but with an ICS skin that makes it look a million times better.

Hi All,
I have bought an Eye-Fi Wi-Fi SD Card for my camera, but the android app doesn't work. I have version 1.3.2 installed. I want to try an older version 1.2.2 to see if it will work, but the only ones able to download from Google Play are running Android 2.1 and I have 2.2.
Thanks for any help!

What problems are you having? Going to an older version of the app shouldn't be necessary.

The images won't upload. The tablet wifi does connect to the card. My tablet is an Archos 101 G8 with Android 2.2. I've tried everything at the Eye-Fi forums and no luck.
I loaded the newest version of Eye-Fi on my Android phone (4.0.4) and it worked great! So I think it is OS issue on my tablet and I read on the Eye-Fi forums that the newest version will only work on Android 2.2 or higher.. even though I have 2.2, I think I need to try the version which works with Android 2.1 and that is Eye-Fi 1.2.2.
Anyone with an older phone or tablet that has Andoriod 2.1 should be able to download Eye-Fi 1.2.2 from Google Play.
Thanks for any help!

I'd recommend contacting their support, website is support*dot*eye*dot*fi/contact-support/ (sorry, can't post links yet) They'll probably want to get a log to see why they're not uploading. I don't think downgrading versions will fix your issue. I had a phone with 2.2 and the current version of the app worked just fine for me.

I finally found v1.2.2 on the Amazon Appstore. You're right.. didn't work. I'll contact their support.
Thanks!
Hello folks,
I am fairly new to the Android OS so please be gentle
I took the plunge and finally got a smart TV from Haier which came with the 2.3.4 Android system. All is fine an cherry in 2.3.4 town as of now (apart from its horribly looking user interface design). But was wondering if i could install the 4.0 update ?
Isnt the android system like any other where you have one default version of the OS that comes from google and then there are variants from the open-source community ? If so then which is the best stable version and where can i find it.
Installation of the 2.3.4 OS is on an MMC that i copied from the technicians that came home to fix the TV so i am fine with a backup and the procedure for the install from an MMC. But i assume that if i download the OS from the internet then the procedure will be a bit different ?
I'll update more of the details (Kernel version etc) when i get home. All this because the manufacture - Haier - does not provide updates online or on its website or anywhere on the web. Appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gaj - I have the same question which you have. Did you get any response from anyone or have you now upgraded to the latest version ?
If you have the latest firmware to upgrade , please share it with me or else please share the OS back up what you have as I don't even have it
please help me
Regards
Sri

Hello,
first time poster here. I still use an old HTC One S C2 phone with the S3 processor. Currently I am running 4.1.1 on it. It was the only version offered to me by the update system.
On a whim I decided to google for "HTC one s c2 lineageos" hoping to find a more up to date operating system. I stumbled on a video (youtube dot com/watch?v=hgcdJkGM4cY) which is supposedly showing Android 7.1.1 on my phone.
In the video description it says this tool (apkplanet dot net/app/download-autoroot-tools-apk/) can update my phone to 7.1.1. However when I use a bit.ly link expander website the link in the video description is not pointing to apkplanet.net but to some other website which sounds a bit shady, so I wont post it here.
My questions are: Has anybody here used autoroot tools on this phone and will it be able to put 7.1.1 on my phone?
and secondly, what is the most up to date Android I could put on this phone?
Thank you and kind regards,
Fritz.
Hi, I am hoping on getting some help. I have been struggling to get any updates past the PROS2106071OS00MP2 build. I had that build almost since I purchased the phone.
I've been wanting to update it for so long cause of the NFC update and overall, remove some bugs in the OS. But I have been unable to update it, either via the phone or manually (Using the *#*#1027#*#*).
I found this file online: [SFMobile]PROS2105121CN00MP4 but I don't know how to proceed from there. Im hoping you guys could help me with a global version OTA files, or maybe a way I could flash it using the Fastboot.
My phone is not rooted nor has bootloader unlocked, it's set to factory configurations. Please, I need help updating this phone, I feel I am missing a lot of updates at this point. Its almost going to be a year from the last Google security update that my phone has.
Thanks

Thanks for replying. As I stated in my post, i already attempted the code method. I am just unable to find the OTA files for MP3. The MP4 one I found fails when trying to update, it says it is unauthorized. Either way, could you help me with a link to download the MP2 file?

That's my question basically.... I REALLY want a newer android than Lollipop (the highest android mod I found here). Is there? I found this webpage https://tweakdroid.com/lineage/samsung-galaxy-young-gt-s6310-royss/ that says it's possible, but they don't have the ROM available, so I'm skeptical. I really want a ROM like that to exist because I want to move back to my old phone, as I'm addicted to my current one, but I still want to be able to use WhatsApp and Google Maps.
Thanks for reading, and any help would be greatly appreciated!

The newest android version u can install is 4.4.4 kitkat, the lollipop download links are broken but i think there is a mirror avalible, tweakdroid is the fakest android rom site ever, they say u can install it (which u cant since of it low storage and ram amount) and they dont even give a download link.
This is so fake that when you copy the download link it shows
