started playing around on github after downloading rogers source for 2.1.
the link on http://opensource.samsung.com for 2.2 was broken. I Emailed them to fix it.
I also put in an official request for Rogers 2.3.3 sources as well, the update got released few months ago now.,
If anyone else would like the Gingerbread sources i suggest you go there and make a request as well and flood their inbox. CLICK THE WEBMAIL BUTTON TOP RIGHT CORNER. their own messaging service says if you dont get a reply in 24 hours to try again. so i will and i suggest others do too.
when writing your request, make sure to say, " You want the source code to study, learn, and to attempt to improve on the coding. " also say things such as " you are from a group of many that are looking to work on this "
If you can put in a request, Thankyou. GOT SOURCES
If you want to check out the souces, as they are uploaded, check them out on my github, and ENJOY!
2.3.3 now up!
https://github.com/TRusselo
As the links, and sources become available i will upload the others.
YES... I know samsung has the option to get them to upload the souce to github for you.... yeah... actually get them to do it!... its on their site for the public, their legal obligation is done. I learned git basics and downloaded and uploaded before i ever (never sofar) got a reply.
2.3.3 uploading ATM 20 min should be up. im going to bed NOW,

I have just woken up this morning to find the following message come up on my phone.
This concludes the beta test of this software release.
Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers
To obtain the newer release or further information, please re-visit the website that you used to obtain the current beta release
It doesn't say what piece of software it is for. I don't think there is any beta software i've put on it. All of the software I have installed has been from here.
And nothing responds at all. none of the buttons, I just can't get it to move away from this message. I have switched the phone on and off a few times but this doesn't help. Anyone come across this before.
you have Dutty's 1.8 installed which expired March 1, install his new version 1.9b from ROMs section, or 2.0 from his website. Or another ROM, but have to install a new one as that's the only way to fix it.

Anyone tried this, the real official release must be very close!
Rather late to the party, aren't we?

I took a taste- but it was BAD. It started to install the CDMA version on to my GSM phone, then failed with a "INVALID VENDER" msg.
actually not convinced any of these are official after some digging ...will wait a week or so more, not really in a rush
If this is the real HTC upgrade, it doesn't need Hard-SPL, yes?
Hi @all,
this version is worthy. Please don't use it. This version missing all
the good stuff. After my vendor call today with htc the girl says:
Follow us on http://twitter.com/htc_eu
And i follow. That voice all the time ....
Ok, whats up guys, First off, My name is Silver, and I come to you in dire need of help.
Before I start, this is concerning the device, The Huawei Ascend (M860).
Recently, we here at myascend(dot)org have all been stuck on Android 2.1, and recently IcarusMod came out, and everyone updated to that.
But upon looking farther, I came across an 2.2 update that was released in China for the C8600 (The China Version of the M860). We tested it, and BAM! it worked...but with 2 problems. The Data Service and Wi-Fi did not work. Phone Calls and Text worked fine, but no Data. One of the Developers was able to crack the thing open and Deodex it and load it using Clockwork v2.5.1.8 (Which is how we got the phone calls working)
Apparently there are no APNs
I started doing some research and I thought that maybe if i transfer some of the system files like APN-Configs.xml into the zip, it might work. But alas, I failed.
MY QUESTION IS...Would a developer be nice enough to take this signed Froyo port and possible help make the Data work and Wi-Fi work. Here is the download for the Froyo Update(C8600)
(Note: FLASH USING CLOCKWORK v2.5.1.8)
Apparently, I cant post outside links, so if you could, please go to the site MyAscend(dot)org and you'll find my forum post under Development...Thanks...
Wrong forum I think.
bump?? This plox?
Check the build.prop for something like:
"rild.libpath=/system/lib/libhtc_ril.so"
Data wont work if it's pointing to the wrong, or a non-existent, file (correct me if i'm wrong).
Check your working ROMs and see what file it's pointing to, it might be different in the Chinese version.
Not got a clue about wifi though i'm afraid.
Ill do that! thanks, Ill talk to my friend about developing it....meh, this is gonna be a long project
Hello again
Myself and notebookgrail are soliciting some assistance in getting the updated em.xap from DVP devices.
While I understand many of us have updated to nodo, this is not a firmware update, but a software update.
We are looking for users with the following firmware (settings: about to check)
SW version 2250.1800.7355.205
HW version 2.1.2.0.0
If you have a DVP with the above s/w and h/w versions and would like to help get the updated em.xap, PM at once. We only need one user for this but it would help development greatly.
Thanks
Please help, i would like have an upadated EM. IT make take dell forever to release new firmware.
Even if folks have Nodo pre-installed on their newly purchased DVP, please come forward to help us.
Have any users stepped up yet? I can get access to a student developer account if necessary for when the firmware update comes and would love to help out.
thanks but we have the em.xap and there is some good stuff in here...for ONCE!
Please elaborate..
What kind of good stuff
just some dev stuff looks promising
I think we need someone in India.
Or maybe you shall try to contact the one who asked about freezing with nodo and 512mb ram weeks ago.
We got hold of the new EM App. Just wait for a couple of weeks to get some of the goodies

Anything to enable backup at all, or copy the data file to use between hard resets?
HELLO ALL,
The OTA 4.1.1 & later 4.5.1 was pushed to Apollo & Saturn (NEW GEN HDX 8.9") Devices adding firefly functionality along with other functionality (WHICH ARE CRAP ACCORDING TO ME)
So in order to get the device back to JB ie.. 3.X version Contact amazon customer services and Say that the Kindle is not working properly after the updates & roll back to the 3.x version.
have the device fullly charged 80% or more and they will initiate a Rollback.
Remember the device will never Get any OTA after this !!
Also it would be a lot lot helpful if some one can locate the ota file downloaded (via ES file explorer) so that we can copy it & share on XDA & help other fellow men.
Also I'd request you to contact Amazon via Phone for Source Code & bootloader info & get the call escalated to higher officials so that there are possibilities of getting info.
I'd request all the devs & members to file a petition (Change.org) with regards to the bootloader and simultaneously work on development
All active members & Ashamed owners of HDX's (Ashamed because with marvellous hardware we have a Crappy OS) include or add devs in this sections via PM or replies so that they can look over this & find a solution soon.
Also I'm thinking that a manual roll back can be done but it needs testing & i need some help in that as well
I believe all the magic is with build.prop & ota.prop that checks the versions.
Interested members can carry on the work here and update the results as well
In the mean time any suggestions are also appreciated
Anyone who will do the rollback, please root device and place file /cache/recovery/last.log (something like that) here.
Thank you.

What will that have?
Give as much as info possible please.
Another observation : As manual update via bin file can be done on Kindle, I opened the file via WinRar & was able to see contesnts as a Zip File so why cant we add su and required root files then update kindle ???
As far as the bin file check is concerned..build.prop edit will work
This give to us name and location of rollback file and some other information about upgrade (downgrade) process.
It is necessary to start somewhere...
About your observation - we can''t flash modified bin in any way.
Btw during upgrade latest firmwares check not only build.prop but keys that located in system recovery. So modifying build.prop is not enough.
Well thanks a lot for the info mate I didn't knew that!!
Just for curiosity how will that file lead. Just need more info about it... I might get that file to you and will that file be even after s factory reset is performed?

Do you have a HDX?
Which one n will there be any problem if I get thor's file? Does it need to be specific?
Can get the file n other stuff within 2 days to you..
Let me also know about keys n. Bin stuff... Atleast point me to some info thread I'll read...
btw a rollback editing bin file worked! I tried to do the same but on 4.5 os now
Any one on 4.3 can try opening 4.5.bin file adding root and then updating...may b can try atleast!?
rollback file is "mod-update-kindle-thor-13.3.2.6_user_713326020.bin"
it is all I know at this moment.
And "NO" again, every editing of original bin corrupts CRC, and file do not pass checking. Do not waste the time. Do you think that no one tried for a year to do it?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but has anyone tried calling the support and asking them to rollback and had success? I just want to make sure that they will do it before I try it
Yes. Guy from my russian forum successfully rolled back after contacting support. So it possible. And he sent me logs of this downgrade in which I saw name of rollback-file - mod-update-kindle-thor-13.3.2.6_user_713326020.bin
Got the Kindle on 14.3.2.7_user_372002520
Unable to root it ! ADB doesn't recognizes device anymore....
I was curious on .bin mod. (Yes i can imagine people trying to edit .bin but i needed an explanation thats it.....)
Now let me know what next !!! ??
How do i proceed ??

HELP.
Can anyone explain me how to downgrade? I got the update-kindle-13.4.1.1_user_411010320.bin and update-kindle-13.3.2.5_user_325001120.bin. But when I try to flash the rom the mentioned way it sais that it isn't possible because there is a newer rom installed. how can I circumvent this problem? Any ideas?
You need to contact Customer Support.
At this moment only they can initiate downgrade.
BTW be careful. Maybe now downgradable version is 13.3.2.7 and its not rootable. But I'm not sure.

What are you looking for exactly?
There's really nothing you can do with 4.1.1 — rooting, custom ROMs, etc. require you be on 14/13.3.2.6 or lower.

Okay, why is that? Is there more information on that? I also read a response from the Amazon support posted on another (German) board which warned about the same thing and that further updates might require help from customer support.... I just don't understand why you loose OTA capability? Even if it doesn't update automatically (which most people prefer a anyway, I guess), wouldn't you be able to just initiate an OTA by clicking on it in system preferences ?
Thanks!
Gave it a go, here is my experience:
I started a chat and asked to roll back to 14/13.3.2.6, the person was happy to help and did not dig into they wy. The steps they had me follow:
- factory reset
- re-register device (was still on 4.5.1 as would be expected)
- they pushed something, I saw a system update in the notify tray but it was only there for a brief moment
- They then had me check for updates
- I told them it did not find anything
- I took a look at my kindle storage and there were 6 nameless files that showed up. When I looked at their properties there was no name or file type on them. I tried to copy them off the device but it would not let me, got a generic access message about not being able to copy the files.
- I was then told that 4.5.1 can not be rolled back and that I should return the tablet for a refund (they did say 4.1.1 can be rolled back). I think this was to be expected based on the "kill switch" code that was found in the new update. I can't find the post/link to the conversation now but I think it was code found in the kernel. Not sure Kill switch is the right term either.
- They are providing me a free shipping label
- Will likely get a 2013 Nexus 7
I'm sorry I'm new to how these forums work and replies and all that. Is there a way to downgrade from 4.5.1 to be able to root? It would be really helpful if someone could give me a straight answer as to if it can be done or not. Thanks!
