Hello everybody,
I have a g1 that I got in france. The annoying thing is there has been no real news of the cupcake update yet.
I was wondering if it would be an issue if I go ahead and use the OTA US or UK upgrade available here. The french version of G1 does not have gtalk and is a different from the other G1's (US or UK ones).
If I upgrade to either one, will I get those features?
Here are the details of my phone. I would be very very grateful if someone can show me the way.
Firmware Version : 1.1
Baseband Version: 62.41S.20.13U_2.22.16.19
Kernel Version: 2.6.25-deb9915c
[email protected] #11
I rooted my phone and when I try upgrading to the new firmware that samsung released on October 5, i it says that my phone is not able to upgrade firmware. Any one know what to do? Thank you.

More info please. What kernel, what ROM, what root did you use? I'm nice, but some people on this forum would eat you alive for leaving a post like this.
I'm sorry amigo - I know very little about phones - new to this world. I'm pretty good with computers though. I learn fast.
It's Kernel version 2.6.29
build number SPH-D700 ECLAIR.DI18.
Firmware: 2.1-update1
I used one.click.root.exploitv2.2.4 to root the phone. I haven't installed any other ROMS (Is there a place on the phone or within Rom Manager where it displays which exact ROM I am running?).

You're already on DI18, no need to update.
The build number shows you the ROM you're running
Ah great. Thank you.
I was pretty surprised to find a FOTA update waiting for my brand new Motorola Defy+ (Asia) when I logged on to Wifi after work. However after download, it invariably fails to install with a very simple error message of install failed !
FOTA details
-------------
Version : 45.0.1321.en.03
Changelog : http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...cuments/Staticfiles/RN_DEFY-PLUS_Asia_MEA.htm
Phone Details
--------------
System Version : 45.0.891.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03
Baseband Version : EPU93_U_00.60.00
Android Version : 2.3.4
However when I browse to the /cache folder (where the FOTA files are downloaded I see these 2 files : Blur_Version.45.0.891.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03.crc and Blur_Version.45.0.891.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03.zip
Can anybody please throw some light on what the hell is going on ? Did Motorola goof up and push 45.0.891.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03 (already installed on the phone) as the update instead of 45.0.1321.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03 (As displayed on the update popup) ?
Same here
Same experience for me too. Tried 3 times. Each time it reboots, a progress bar appears, but fairly quickly it shows an exclamation mark and the screen blanks out. Then it appears to boot normally and finally shows update failed message.
this software update failed
Im getting same response on my uk unbranded mb526
Post to motorola support forums ?
I posted in the motorola support forums and got a response from one of their reps who PMed me. Maybe if you guys also post there they'll put a little more importance to this ?
Thread is here : https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/62727
BTW I copied the update file from the cache and tried to manually update using Motorola Recovery. I get the dreaded : AccountSettings.apk error (https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/56713)
Motorola Support India called and I got the SBF flashed on my Device
Abesh, Did you have to take it in to a motorola service station?
They asked me to, but I told them that I have RSDLite and can flash the SBF if they gave me the sbf. They shared a dropbox link and I flashed myself.
Note however once you flash you'll loose root. SuperOneClick and Droid3Root does not work. Only way to get root is to use DooMLoRD's script. Refer to my post on how to root the Defy+ 2.3.6 in this forum.

What other info can I help you with ?
Hey I already replied quoting you on your thread about the ICS for Defy+ .... So I was asking if you could please share the SBF link!!! I am desperately searching for it!
Replied on the other thread. I've been explicitly asked not to share the update and I don't want to do anything illegal. I've been assured though that the correct update should hit the servers in not more than 2 days. Maybe wait till then ?

They won't know you shared the link, maybe someone hacked you? Lol
German update, same problem
I bought my defy+ as soon as it was available in Holland, apparently the phone is really the German release.
Today the update suddenly popped up on my phone, same problem the update failed !
When my phone arrived i deblurred it by editing build.props then hard reset, then i rooted it using the trick "from the german forum" so maybe this is why it failed to update ?
In other news i hear ICS will be coming soon, i suppose i'll just wait for that, but how to unroot my phone if required, i have no clue
more info on my update here
Update
Was anyone able to update..??
Please reply..!!
Need your assistance

Would like to hear more about that. Can you share your IMEI or Email address when you contacted our customer care?

Update your Defy Plus using your PC.
It is very easy to update your Defy plus and RSDlite is not required for updating the handset.
1) Just go to motorola India website and select defy plus then click Owner Support button.
2) On owner's support page you will have to click Update my software link.
3) Select defy plus from drop down menu.
4) on that page click "I have read Step 3 about third-party media."
5) and click download update.
6) Install the update software and after its installation connect your defy plus to your PC with USB cable.
7) The "Motorola update manager" software automatically detects your defy plus and install some drivers. it will take upto 5 to 10 minutes.
8) after that select update my phone software and your phone will get the latest update available.

Hello everyone and thank you if you are reading this and if you are willing to help me.
Recently, I bought a brand new GMS Unlocked Optimus L7. Even tho I m happy with it, it came with version Android 4.0.3 and I can't update it to 4.0.4, it says I have a latest version (that sucks).
Now I want to upgrade to jelly bean or to 4.0.4 and I m kinda confused.
Here is why.
I've bought my phone on Amazon and it was unlocked:
Model: LGP705
Version: V10D
Problem that I m facing is that when I try to find a proper firmware for my Phone (V10D) I can't seam to find my country (Bosnia) and whenever I look at some other country, it seams most of the firmwares are locked to some network ?
Now, tell me is there any firmware that I can download and android version 4.0.4 that would work for me, since I m not using only one operator.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Aleksandar

have you tried flashing a 4.1.1 ROM? i think someone posted a TWRP-flashable file for Energy (which is 4.1.1).
BTW, 4.1.1 is JB, not ICS.

Thanks for the reply mate
As there was no help up until your reply on this matter , i tried to take it upon me to find a way , so i in the end was able to infact flash the ICS stock via rsd lite
but no success even that was fruitless as GSM radio was still locked in that too
so now after about a full month or so i can say i have tried each and every option and this phone is locked as far as gsm is concerned ,
ALL THE NEWER VERSIONS OF DROID RAZR M XT907 ARE FACTORY LOCKED NOW , they cant be used with gsm ooperators outside of th US , and may be inside too.

I've seen on some 4.2.2 ROM threads that there is a GSM fix. have you tried that yet?

haven't tried though , but the gsm fix in them is actually for those roms where switching to gsm options isnt there by default , it just adds a gsm option in the network settings
i alreday have that in mine stock , the issue it this damn thing just doesnt latch onto any GSM network
