Hi. I've tried this before, but got dead ended. I'm trying to keep the wife happy with her SPV5000, which I grabbed from eBay. She's complaining about sluggish response times and connectivity issues.
I'm hoping that someone can point me to a pre-cooked ROM for download that will be easy to upgrade. I would also be able to provide FTP access for uploading such ROM (pm me).
Please let me know. Thank you.
Guys
Its a humble request...Plz read and suggest
I have bought my HTC-touch P3450 (Memory: ROM: 128 MB / SDRAM: 64 MB DDR) in 2007 November.It was working fine.Months back, one of my friend also bought HTC Touch ( Enhanced Version)..
He did some ROM flashing in my phone (as per my request) and my phone upgraded to some new ROM (Onyx Jr 4.2) ,which is not having cube functions.
It looked beautiful..But after that i got so many problems.
1. My battery is getting drained in half day
2. I am not able to reccieve any files via bluetooth (I can send)
3. Calls are getting dropped (i m not getting any notification of incoming call eventhough caller can hear my callertune)
So I want to go back to the old ROM and flash it in my elf..I dont have its back up..Can anyone upload the official one here? I
a newbie to ROM flashing.
Plz help me to locate the procedure/steps for flashing.
(I searched here.But I am confused of many results.)

Hey folks, novice user here.
Quick background: I've had the HTC Legend for over a year now, it's on the Bell network however I unlocked it the first day I had it with a $5 unlock code deal from RedFlagDeals so the phone is UNLOCKED. I've put SpeakOut! SIM cards into it, it's on a Bell one now, etc.
The thing is, I've never, ever updated the software on this thing, at all. It's on whatever basic firmware came in the HTC Legend box to begin with. About phone says: Firmware Version 2.1-update1, Kernel Version 2.6.29-9e497, Build & Software Number 2.02.666.3
So in a nutshell, can somebody help this novice user get the latest and greatest onto here? I also would like to wipe out all my contacts & account infos etc. and start from scratch
The links and acronyms are all very confusing for me since I'm just trying to learn this all at once, so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have subscribed to the thread so I will get replies instantly!
Thanks in advance all!

do as he said then what you want to do is install this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=866849
basically becuase bell hasnt released an official 2.2 update you have to downgrade your legend (yes counter productive it seems) then root it(jailbreak it) so you can install custom ROMS which is basically android 2.2 plus lots of extra tweeks
Hi,
I had bought a ZTE Blade from Idea celullar (India). Its Gen2 Phone with stock 2.2 FroYo.
The problem is that when i have checked the RAM, its shows 256MB only... How can i Unlock the whole 512 MB RAM and even i am not aware about the Real ram specification, I mean I dont know that the phone is with 512 MB RAM hardware or not..
How can I check and if possible then how can i unlock the 512MB RAM.. Please help....
Thanks in advance..
How & where did you check it? How much ram does it show? Are you sure you aren't confusing it for storage (flash rom)?
As far as I know only Blades sold in Greece & China have 256mb ram & only the Greek ones can be unlocked.

I have checked the task manager------->task manager--->resources--->RAM-- It shows only 166MB of total memory available....
Well, I'm not sure if it'd be possible then, I'm unfamiliar with that variation of the ZTE Blade. The Greek versions have 512mb ram in hardware, but the bootloader only uses 256mb. The Chinese versions really do only have 256mb ram in hardware, can't be unlocked & if you try then it'll stop booting until you flash the chinese bootloaders & firmware back.
We don't have a copy of the hidden radio firmware & bootloaders for your phone. You'd be taking a risk of breaking your phone with no easy way to recover it if it doesn't work.
If it is possible then you'd need to flash european bootloaders & radio firmware, using either an image.bin file or a windows flashing method. However, if they don't work, we might not be able to save your phone, since we dont have a copy of the correct bootloaders & radio firmware and it isn't easily possible for you to back them up from your phone first.

this is a chinese blade with 256mb ram u should have bought xcd 35 which has 512 mb ram and is a better deal if u dont go for free data provided by idea.
Hello Bhawan.
Dude better install this app known as PIGFISH from market.
This will help you determine if its a GEN1 or GEN2 model.
Once this is done go for android.modaco website to know its unlocking procedures.
Enjoy!!!

Hi,
Thanks for ur advice.. I have read over Dell's Official website that they are also giving andriod 2.2 with 256 MB of Ram. And i m dam sure that this phone is also GEN2 phone as per the manufacturer (ZTE) all phone with official 2.2 are GEN2 phones and we are again able to unlock the RAM.

as in ur case u got froyo with 256 mb ram and when i bought xcd 35 i got froyo with 512 mb ram.there is a misprint on dell website and on the user manual of xcd 35 they have made it according to 2.1 and not 2.2 so they have listed 256mb there.
and another thing which shows that dell has just updated their website to show froyo is that the internal memory they have shown is 200 but actually it is 162 used the partition has been changed in froyo

There is outdated specifications for Dell XCD35 on DELL India official website. Don't trust on them. I have also bought Dell XCD35 which is 2 months old. and my handset is Gen 2 with 512MB of RAM. which has comes with Android 2.2 as a Stock ROM. Dell XCD35 user manual also mention that there is 512MB of RAM in DELL XCD35.

No there is no easy way to backup your current phone's bootloaders & radio firmware. We don't have a copy of them either.
To try to unlock any ram you would need to overwrite those bootloaders & radio firmware on your phone. It's more likely that it wont work. If it doesn't work then there is no easy way to recover your phone, it'll be 'bricked'.
It's quite likely that your phone only has 256mb ram in hardware & 512mb can't be unlocked to 512mb ram.
You can root your phone, install clockworkmod & cyanogenmod without any risk of breaking your phone by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1319257
Dell XCD35s have 512mb ram, just like the European versions. I think this version might be 256mb like the Chinese v880, they've started selling similar phones in Russia now too.
i also brought the same phone from idea..its model is ZTE-BLADE,PRODUCT-Iidf-P729V -info got from quadrant and its gen-2 as per pigfish.i also got 170mb ram...can i unlock it...bro bhawan if u find a method or an answer pls inform me too..does the product name ie 'Iidf-P729V' show that my model name is p729v,i google 'zte blade p729v' and it showed orange san fransisco...
Don't know but it may help. I bought my xcd35 online and its a gen2 with 400mb aavailable ram froyo stock. Have heard that u can unlock ram by flashing custom roms like cyanogen etc

try this
http://android.modaco.com/topic/347402-need-people-to-test-app/
i think it will tell u which blade u have a European one or chinese.
european-512mb ram(system available)
chinese-256mb (system available and hence can not be unlocked)

Sadly it only detects how much RAM is available at the moment. When I used a Chinese TPT on my Blade which normally has 512MB RAM, it was software restricted to 256MB, so the app said I had a Chinese Blade when really I don't.
asked in q&a but no response
hi guys,
i just bought a xoom in the uk as an impulse buy. usually i do a lot of reading on things like this so i dont usually need help when it comes to rooting, unlocking bootloader etc.
This has probably been asked but i tried searching and i just got more confused. I would like to know if the uk xoom (wifi only) can be rooted and if i can unlock the bootloader. i would like to install a jellybean rom if that is possible but i couldnt really find i guide on this particular version.
If anyone can help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

I'm sure this has been covered, must search harder!! LOL
Anyhow
I flashed this Rom on to my uk xoom. Doesn't matter that it's for the US one , well I've not seen any ill effects It also turns your device into a google experience device so updates come direct from google. You're a bit late to the party on that one however as they've dropped support in 4.2.1
Bootloader is unlockable through fastboot oem unlock ( this will wipe your data ), no hacking required.
That should give you something to start wifi!
