Hi,
I have an unbranded, unlocked Legend with a Vodafone SIM. The FOTA check says (not unsurprisingly) that no update is available.
I have downloaded via PC the Vodafone 2.2 zip file from HTC but would like advice/guidance on how to update my Legend with the contents.
Yes I know I could wait for the update being issued by HTC but the idea of waiting possibly until the end of the year is a real downer - so I would prefer to update now.
Grateful for any advice
Thank you
Giles
I'm pretty you still have to root the phone first before it will accept any other ROMs
Seriously? For like 2 days now, the hole dev section is about 'how to update unbranded phones'.
Just learn to read and don't ask unnecessary questions... thank you.
Maybe a sticky is in order...
There is a sticky. Its the very first post. Everything is in there.

Whats up dude? Wanna go for a beer?
I'm not in Malaysia till next year sometime, I'll let you know then and we'll go hang out
Are you Malaysian? Man I'm starving. Lol.
To TS, read the very first post in the General section. Should contain everything that you need.
Yes, we can all meet in Malaysia. Lolz.
Okay, so, I've been monitoring the sammobile website for quite some time now, waiting for the 4.1.1 release on the WiFi only model of our lovely note. And, I left it for a few days. To my surprise - IT'S OUT! It hit Germany, first. And now Taiwan. Link for the German build on sammobile is below.
If you have the official build installed yet - How are you enjoying your yummy Jelly Beans!?

Thanks for the heads up :good:
Does it have all the useless telephony stuff still in the OS or have they gotten rid of it?

Nope. The 8010 doesn't have telephony in it, so the official build has it all removed. And yeah, I realise this probably should have been in the general section. I'm a bit of a failure some times, haha.
[Ignore]
I haven't been round the forums for this yet, been clinging to my SGSIII, so apologies if I make myself look like an idiot, will 8010 ROMs work on the 8013? I've seen some devs posting for multiple models, so not positive.
Am I missing something?
Not sure if I've missed a trick here, but hasn't the German N8010 firmware been available since early December?
I'm still waiting for the official UK release via Kies...your post built up my hopes only to dash them as soon as read the thread...lol
OMG!!!

WOW, if You happen to live on planet Earth ( 3rd from the sun ) , you would know that this was released on the 3rd of December ,
& if you would like to have a decent life that N 8000 owners are enjoying , then you may be interested to know that those people are enjoying
Android 4.1.2 for more than one Week now !
Anyway bro , I can only congratulate you on having Note 10.1
Good Luck
yeah... i got the German 4.1.1 on my U.S. N8013 already... since early Dec.
But congrats on your find! lol
:silly:
4.1.2 is running fine on my 8013.....

Thanks for the heads up. The only firmwares that i could find were modded versions of the german firmware. Now i can use odin to flash the official 8010 firmware to my 8013. I checked recently and did not see this official firmware on samobile, until now. So give the guy a break people.

Hi guys.. I madre this post in order to track the KitKat upgrade.-
Here you can post any news about it.. Just like the XT926 post
Edit:
THIS IS THE SOAK TEST FIRMWARE, THIS IS NOT THE FINAL RELEASE!
Orphee said:
Hi again...
So I edited the updater-script in the OTA file to remove all checks...
There was also a "aboot" and "recovery" flash with an auto reboot in the middle of the script. I removed it.
the "aboot" is still flashed at the end of the file... the "recovery" can be flashed manually with fastboot after...
So here are the steps :
I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY OF ANY PROBLEM THAT COULD OCCUR ON YOUR PHONE, TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !
YOU MUST HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER
- Flash original RTFR 4.1.2 with RSD Lite (it will wipe everything ! backup all your internal SDcard before doing this)
- Normal boot the phone and finish initial startup configuration
- Reboot in bootloader and flash this recovery : http://d-h.st/p6M ( fastboot flash recovery philz_touch_6.43.8-moto_msm8960.img )
- Reboot in recovery and flash the modified OTA ZIP : https://mega.co.nz/#!I5xxSKCT!D9waHBuunDa8K2sJHUF_wMxZMnOqwheAQ6K62BBWIuQ
- Reboot in bootloader with "Power options" of the recovery
- flash the special 4.4 recovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747535 ( fastboot flash recovery xt926-KK-CWM-6048.img )
- Reboot and VOILA !
I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSABILITY OF ANY PROBLEM THAT COULD OCCUR ON YOUR PHONE, TRY IT AT YOUR OWN RISK !

Hi,
I removed my link to the OTA modified ZIP...
There is wrong informations published somewere telling my modified OTA is the official OTA release...
I can't leave people think it is...
We know now this leaked OTA release is buggy (SMS) so I don't want users to believe they are flashing the official OTA.
Sorry...

One day ago I went out this service for assistance when kikat xt925 for O2 (germany) they told me that no update is planned. as should be expected instead to retail but not seen on the market. it should be possible to flash the firmware on my kitkat O2 brand.
I'm waiting for the retail versión too.. I'm from argentina and i don't think that our providers upgrade our phones..
Ps: sorry for my english..

Down in México here, also no expecting my carrier to upgrade to KS. I did read o a believe a did, about some carrier already on Labs for KitKat for XT925.hopecully is the case, otherwise this will be my last moto.Motorola doesn't seem to care much about user outside the US.

At the end of the post in which he announces the XT926 update (sorry guys, can't add links yet), David Schuster says:
The timing varies on xt925 based on carrier and country. Generically the current timing is tracking to end of the Q2 to early Q3 for the 4.4.2 upgrades...
More time for us to wait

Yes, we're all waiting for that. And indeed, no carrier here in Argentina would work on the update.
I'm not sure if the word has been spread here, but according to dhacker Motorola said they would release the code after all devices get the update, but I don't have a source for that.
But, I saw someone in their sourceforge saying that they will release the source in github "In a week or so", though. This was six days ago.
However, I can't verify if he is a legit motorola employee or not.

Confirmed legit Motorola employee. He was a contact that krystianp and others over on the Atrix 4G used as a springboard to get assistance on the 3.1.10 kernel that they have for their 4.0 and up ROMs.

At Motorola Owner's Forum. I have been registered for long time because I have always used Moto phones but this was the first time someone contacted me via this forum. First I received and completed Survey about Test drive for new software and now, almost a month after HERE IT COMES...
If you haven't completed survey I think you can't receive this invitation any more..

I don't think it took more than days after the soak before all other verizon xt926 user also began to get the update. The wait must soon be over

I don't know if O2 is the reason fot not receiving survey and invitation but i know for a fact that retail roms did receive the email (mine is France CEE, 2 friends have DE Retail). You could try to flash Retail.DE and see what will happen...

Hello All,
Today - - July 20th, according to schedule posted on Telus website, is supposed to be the start of the official 5.1 OTA roll-out for our XT1097 RETCA phones.
I am not yet seeing it pushed on my end but eagerly awaiting to test it out. I thought I would start a little thread here so people can post their results, upgrade experience, overall performance etc. [MODS: if this thread is deemed repetitive or unnecessary, please let me know]
cheers,
gs
Me too! I think initially the date was July 17th. (someone on Twitter had received a reply from TELUS stating that date).
Can't wait ! still no update
Please make sure you pull it out so we can enjoy this build ! Also curious to see if any radio improvements were made.
Will be seen here if and when !

That was me. I was surprised that they answered me again. They said July 18th at that time. Then it says the 20th.
FYI, still no update

Thanks bertiespeed! Good link to have, I was wondering how active those Moto subforums are but it seems like a reliable place. So eager for this to land on my phone. I flashed the stock brazilian 5.1. firmware just to see the overall feel of stock 5.1 compared to 5.0 >> NIGHT and DAY. Huge difference.... looking forward to the RETCA version. I will post back here as soon as I get the OTA notification, for the moment back to NX rom :good:
Update 7/20/2015: Select users on Retail Wind and Telus (22.121.11.victara_retca.retca.en.CA) and Retail China (22.31.18.victara_retcn.retcn.en.CN) can download and install Android 5.1

Hi all.
This was just posted on the Official Lollipop moto forum:
Update 7/24/2015: All users on Retail Wind and Telus (22.121.11.victara_retca.retca.en.CA) can download and install Android 5.1.
I am unfortunately on the road and cant do anything till after the weekend. If any of you here using the Telus XT1097 RETCA get the OTA please let us know here....
Update just showed up on my phone, away all wethough though
Never received the notification. did manual and it came up. installed and running fine .. So far so good
Just received the "5.1 Notification"! I'm on Telus Mobility.
I'm downloading it right now!
Will report a little later on.....
Does anyone have a link to the full firmware? I have 1095 firmware right now and would like to get 1097.
Anyone have full firmware？
I've been searching for 23.16.1.victara_retca.retca.en.CA full firmware to keep as backup, I still haven't found it. I prefer flashing full firmware using fastboot, rather than doing a system backup/restore using a custom recovery.
Full RSD XML firmware now available for RETCA XT1097

Thank you for that, I will try to download it, but I'm not hopeful, downloading a GB from Filefactory could take from 3 to 6 hours, if it ever finishes. Motofirmware still doesn't have it.
OK, downloaded, and flashed all files, no problems (I was on CyanogenMod).
