New ROM from India

Guess what! Defy released yesterday in India and it seems to be the one without Motoblur. Since a central european version cannot be used in India, there seems to be another firmware that Motorola came up with.
By the weekend I should have my friend upload the Deblured rom for us to use.
Well if 2.1 is still interesting for some that is.

Yes, I will need to teach my friend to make the backup and upload it from India. BTW seems like the version is called 2.52 . Sounds scary of it being unrootable and non-downgradable.

i got defy recently in New Delhi....version says 2.51.....i thought it had motoblur...now wud check again...

can somebody confirm whether the indian defy is rootable?
i am planning to buy this phone and if it is supposed to get froyo in june, i should rather stick with my galaxy 3.

haven't come across any unrootable rom yet.
and if you do buy it, please post your nandroid backup.
ps there are already froyo roms floating around. and no one knows when would an indian version would come.

ok so i can flash sbf files even if the bootloader is 2.51?
if yes then what is the problem with 2.51 that everybody is advising not to upgrade?

the problem is always that you can't go back. unless you have a nandroid backup. any future upgrade should be fine.

Price of Defy in India ... delhi Region in retail.... anyone.... ?

it retails for INR 18000 at flipkart.com

It's without MOTOBLUR???

Had the same here in Thailand. However I didn't make a backup before I put a custom rom on it. Wish I had!
But it's definitely out there. Mine was a 2.51 rom with static moto boot logo and no motoblur widgets or popups whatsoever. Actually, yesterday I found a file called JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1_DEBLUR_P3_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA030.0R_USAJORDANRTCEE_P031_A020_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz at 4shared but now it has been deleted. Don't know if it was real though.

official update lg P500

Hello everybody, I've been doing some research and hear that the lg optimuns will have an official update to the Android 2.3 in late May.
Anyone know if this information confirms it is true or not
Att

Many people confirmed it, but we will have to wait and see if we actually get it. So far I think LG is pretty good and we will get it eventually if not in May.

Do Like this,
Wait for release or stop asking, your not getting it earlier because of asking, ASK LG By Mail or call em, they know better than us,
// sweat

people, please stop hissing about this update. LG already confirmed that our phones will get update in this summer. Now it's all about waiting time.

yes i hate the forum being spammed by these "when the ****'s 2.3 official gonna be? when omg?"
ok man just stop them if you cant wait for gingerbread just go try mik's or andy's rom
you wont miss the official one when it arrives there will be threads having parties here so dont shout when you are waiting.

I'm in Dubai, no update here either...
This is why I MANUALLY installed the rom here in XDA Developers & installed ICS myself. If you wait for Samsung you'll wait forever.
Best to download it yourself & install.

i am in Algeria and i have a Hong Kong galaxy tab 7.7, av got the update on Kies but i won't use it, ics still has some issues, am waiting for a stable version enchalah.
if you want it so bad, look into the development section, you will find how to update your tab to the latest version of ics, which is the Indian.

Thanks
So its better to flash my tab better than waiting ? and i use the Indian firmware ?
will i be able to still use my Tablet as a phone like put my simcard in it and everything ?

yes you can use it just like you did when you were on honeycomb, but!
1 there is issues on ics, read about it before flashing! if you don't mind... well, next >
2 there is a big problem with ics which is the brick after a wipe! read about it, if you're ok >
3 the modem included in the Indian firmware may work or not work correctly in your hometown
good luck

Yes, better to flash your tab rather than wait months for Samsung to release the update for your country...
If using the Indian Firmware gives you Arabic language then go ahead & use it...
You can use your tab just like a phone by inserting your sim into it...

what so called hard brich is also within HC too! the fix for this is available in the forum just search for it > upgrade to ICS the austrian latest rom is working in good order except for wifi.. get wifi extender and connect through it .it's the best solution i've used so far .. actually the official roms are less bugs than the modified ones .

now u said the word " Brick "
im afraid of doing it because i jsut go the device i dont want to brick it X_X!!
i hate HC its slow and laggy X_X
i'll guess i'll just wait for the official release :<

Malaysia
India
Thailand
Philippines
ICS are all out for them
Damn Samsung is SLOW on update s

Iam flashing my device and every thing is ok you can flash it by odin and then flash cwm to wipe data without the bug if you need to wipe
And i think there is no need to wipe your device

[Q] Help on updating Xoom (Just bought now)

Hello. I just bought my motorla xoom. Its a pretty old tablet but i still prefer this than those galaxy tabs.
When i try to update, it says it has the latest version but then in the system it is still 3.2. How do you update this tablet? Is it not allowed yet?
Information on my tablet is:
Model Number:
MZ604
Android Version:
3.2
Firmware configuration version:
GAS_ASIA_HUBBLEWIFIHKTWNGEN_P007
Kernel version:
2.6.36.3-00042-g3c1a41e
[email protected] #1
Build Number
H.6.6-27
I hope someone can help me.. im just new at this..

I just bought mine too. It arrived today actually. It came with version 3.1, and, as soon as I went to software updates under Settings, it updated to version 4.0.4
I believe it depends on which country you are.
Unless you want to GEDify your Xoom (as I will do very very soon), then you will receive always the newest updates directly from Google.
BTW, I'm from Brazil.

It is rolled out to everyone in every country, bot NOT at the same time. One day you will get ICS and then JB...
Gedify comes from GED which stands for “Google Experience Device”. A “Google Experience Device” receives its updates directly from Google, without any customization or modification from the device manufacturer.
This is only possible if you flash the US version of Xoom's rom.
MZ604 here in Brazil, there in Philippines and in the US, is MZ604, so there's no problem doing that.
I'm doing it tomorrow!
BTW, if I helped you, hit the Thanks button!

It's done! And Jelly Bean is freaking amazing!

Hey man, i sent my xoom back since i had some problems with my macro shots.. they dont seem to focus well. and when i try it with flash, i only get white pictures. is that normal?
Can you also send me links on how to root-flash-GEDify xoom? if possible though without unlocking bootloader... thanks man...

Unfortunately I won't be able to help you with this... I rarely take photos... even with my Sony smartphone that has an awesome camera.
But I can take some photos to test and see if this is normal. Then I post here my views.

Rooting your xoom won't be possible without unlocking the bootloader. Unless you search for methods using exploits. But those methods didn't work for me but it might be worth a try. So unlocking the bootloader is the best way to root. It's save, pretty easy and you also have the ability to install a custom Rom later on to get jelly bean (I am currently running the cm10 nightlies)

Can you share your Firmware Version, Kernel Version and Build Number as well? After updating to 4.0.4, did your Xoom still have the "Quickoffice HD" app? What I have read from the forums is that GEDifying your Xoom would loose this app since the US-based Xoom does not have Quickoffice HD buddled with the device.

[Q] uk xt925 ota upgrade

Hi I'm new on here so I hope I'm asking in the correct place!
I have two questions, firstly my RAZR HD has jelly bean system version 98.21.26002.XT925.Orange.en.GB
It states on the Motorola website that only phones running a retail version will receive the ota upgrade to kitkat....
Now it seems I don't have a retail software but there is no retail software for the uk RAZR HD just the orange software so is this the retail version and will I receive the ota upgrade eventually for my razr HD ??.
Hope someone can help thanks.

Can't believe this post has had so many views but no replies!
Is the question impossible to answer?
Is it because I'm from the uk and most of the users on hear seem to be from other countries?

hm just went to the moto website,
under orange: no moto razr hd;
retail; yes to kit kat.
tricky, tricky,
id suggest you contact orange to see if they will flash retail version or not;
maybe moto would make a retail ROM and then pass on to carriers to customize? I'm not so sure,
"Confirm you have a Retail model. Go to your device’s Settings menu and select About Phone. If you don’t see Retail (or RET) under System Version, go back and select your carrier."
best bet is that you're out of luck;
if you really want kk when its released just flash it...

Thanks for the reply djvita.
Yes flashing is an option but I'm not familiar with how to do that at the moment and then there's the problem of finding the correct Rom to flash for the uk??.
Wonder if anyone has received the official ota upgrade to kitkat yet on the RAZR HD?

Once kk is out it will not take long for an xml to be posted.
Then you can rsd lite it to your 925. Learn how to run rsd lite.

Backup your device and use RSDLite to flash retail firmware http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=6&file=105
Once you are done and you connect to the internet, Kitkat will be available. Do this on your own responsibility.

Still no kitkat ota here in the uk

you dont have to wait man if you must have it now. Unlock your bootloader via moto website if you haven't done so already. Then hop on the XT925 UPGRADE thread and flash away. KK is better than JB for sure.

Hi,
i've an XT925 purchased from Orange UK.
Few month ago i've unlock bootloader and i've flash CM11. I want receive official OTA update so I had thought of restore the old Jellybean 4.1.2 firmware using RSD Lite. Will I receive the OTA update I also (when it is released) or should I do some other operation?
Thanks and best Regards

You will and should have. I think Orange released their update. If not, you can flash it if you have stock rtfr installed.

I've had a rough time updating mine as well... It's been a nightmare so far.

What did you do?

Hi all, just to let you all know I've finally got the ota update to android version 4.4.2 kitkat.
Got the update about 1:00pm today wed 8th october.
Only took about 10mins to update and everything seems fine so I'm pleased.
System version 180.46.117.XT925.Orange.en.GB
