[Q] Motorola build "codes" - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone shed any light on the meanings of the codes that Motorola give the various firmware builds for the Defy? For example, before I bricked it my Defy+ reported build number "4.5.1-134_DFP-188". There seem to be four elements to that: "4.5.1", "134", "DFP" and "188" - but what do they each mean?

I just wanted to ask same question.
How it is possible that 4.5.3 is android 2.3.4 and 4.5.1 is 2.3.6?

[INFO] Centralize Galaxy Tab P1000L/P1000N Development

Hi fellows,
For sure, more than 95% of ROM development at XDA is devoted to P1000 version (Euro/USA/... Galaxy Tab version). Unfortunately (or not...), Samsung released at Latin America two different versions of GT: P1000L and P1000N. My researches shown that theses version has different hardware from P1000 one, and the most important, IMO, is the touchscreen. Conclusion: when we try to use custom ROMs, we aren't able to even use it.
So, I have started this thread to centralize information regarding P1000L/P1000N. Please, if you have these devices and have already tried to use a custom ROM or Kernel, please post the information here. With this, we can verify what modifications we need to make to adapt XDA custom ROMs/Kernels to our GTs.
We have the following topics here on XDA about our devices:
Humberto's ROM and Kernel (Froyo)
Humberto have compiled a Froyo Kernel and ROM with many improvements
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974408
Humberto's Kernel (Gingerbread)
Humberto have modified the original, leaked P1000N gingerbread kernel to add Lagfix and gave us instructions how P1000L users can flash P1000N gingerbread version
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124224
My Gingerbread kernel
I have compiled a P1000L/N kernel for gingerbread after the source code release, adding many things like UV, OC, new governors, etc. To avoid mess with Humberto's thread, I decided to start a new one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274855
With the right kernels now, we can flash customs ROM like:
BOCA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172307
Overcome
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205990
CM7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931857
OBS.: Always refer to P1000L/N Gingerbread thread from Humberto to verify which kernel you need to flash to use one of these ROMs!
Thanks!
I can provide the PDA, Modem and CSC Multi files to be flashed in Odin for P1000N from Claro provider if they're needed at all, only downside is that they're JJ1 not the JJ5 which they're currently shipping Tabs with. Honestly I don't see any difference between the versions, but there should be some.
Well, apparently we got a new kernel for GT-P1000L deceives that camera and TV tuner is fully working and has interesting capabilities, like 1.4GHz overclocking! Thanks to @humberos. More info on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974408
Additionally, my Vivo GT has received an update through Kies and now my ROM version is P1000LVJJMA, which I don't know yet if this kernel is compatible. I have contact @humberos and we will try to find out.

Currently http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1124224 is a Gingerbread Kernel that can run a version of CM7.
I can not attest to validity of the ROM, as I don't have a latin version, but yeah... There it is.

Are you on stock rom ? I upgraded my p1000n to gingerbread overcome and feel that the battery last less than with froyo.

I see a lot of P1000CWLZTO being offered in online shops in Brazil.
Would that be a third version: "P1000C"?
What are the differences between the L, N and C versions?
I do like to have the digital TV. Actually, is it just 1seg? Does it show 16:9 broadcasts correctly (soccer!)?
Thanks!
Hi! I just got a gt-P1000n unlocked tablet from Chile. I leave in Canada.
Froyo 2.2, baseband P1000NUBJM2.
This is my first expeeience with android, i come from wm.
I've got a lot to learn.
After many unsuccessful attempts with z4root, i did root my tab with oneclickroot.
I have read these latin tabs are different than others. How?
Lesser quality?
I can't find any specs comparaison on the web.
Thanks

Not at all... just a little different in hardware. I had that firmware on my P1000N. Maybe if you check on the small print on the back of your tab, you should see P1000N... let us know.
Basically we have a few different Tab hardwares. The P1000, Euro US and etc, both GSM and CDMA versions. Latin versions P1000L / N (and maybe C as commented above). P1000L and N are the same, except P1000N does NOT have TV, P1000L has TV, 1seg like in Brazil. There is also another different hardware, the Tab with wifi only (no SIM chip).
Since P1000 is the most commonly used one, there is a lot more development going on for it... but luckyly we have HumberOS for the salvation of our latin version tabs. Just Google "xda humberos" to find his posts.
Cheers.
Yes i have the 1000N.
I read here it is difficult to flash an gingerbread orovercome rom!?!?
Only Hubertos roms are working, isn't it?
Thanks

You can flash Gingerbread from Samsung. If you want to flash anything customized, like Overcome rom, you need to do it through humberos kernel, made for our latin tabs.

If i flash Gbread from Samsung update will i lose root?
If so, can it easely be rooted again?
Is overcome stable and a real improvement over gingerbread?

Yes, you loose root. Then you can just flash humberos' cf-root or voodoo lagfix kernel to get root back. Overcome is very good and stable. Just remember to replace the zImage file inside Overcome's zip file with HumberOS' kernel voodoo lagfix.

Ok, i am tempted to try Overcome.
Do you suggest me to read anything else than [Jun27][GSM][Kernel][Gingerbread][P1000L/N]?

That's it. Read the last page of the thread. rlkalves just flashed Gingerbread.
Always use original USB cable from Samsung for flashing. Don't use USB HUBs. Make sure you have a good tight USB port, make sure your Windows and USB Drivers are all 100% and close all software to run ODIN or Heimdall ALONE.
i got a p1000n from comcel (colombian provider) and i flashed overcome, and is pretty awesome, maybe if you want i can make you a guide

I did install Overcome Hermes but overlooked the fact that there is still not usb connection to pc. Al sd cards and browse.though from kies i am able to get into internal and external
What is the procedure to go to another gb rom like Jupiter?
Is it a matter of repackaging the Jupiter's zip with latest zImage from first post and install via sd card with Recovery Cwm mode?
Restart from begining with stock Froyo?
Wait for Humberto to work on it?
For CM7?
From hermes do i directly
Download CM7 Beta
Uncompress .zip file and replace zImage.
Use Heimdall to flash it.

2.4.24 is motorola build for Android 2.2.2 you can download it on motorola update or here --> http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2 but you should look for a tutorial here in the forum.
No Gingerbread update for M2 available now, some chinese guy said it will update in Q3 2011... Honeycomb is for tablets.=P
Argen2Stone is our only ROM.
Just browse a little bit through the forum to get root and stuff.
Edit: Is your phone Milestone 2 or 1??? You said Milestone 2.1, M2 comes with froyo (2.2) not eclair (2.1)
Sent from my Milestone 2
are you using Milestone 1 or Milestone 2?
the 2.2.2 update is for Milestone 2 which is not compatible with Milestone 1

[Q] Difference between Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3

I have been searching around and have not found an explination to this, so I thought I would just ask. Looking around, I see the 3.1 OTA most people got was Gen2. In the developers section, you can download one that is Gen1. Prior to the OTA some people had a 3.01 Gen3 ROM. What is the difference in the Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 ROMs? The thread in the developers section with the 3.1 Gen1 ROM says it is a newer build then the GEN2 3.1 OTA that we got. Is this true? Thanks to any and all of you that help clear this up for me.
Good question. I am looking for that explanation as well.
Thanks.
If I had to guess, I would think it's probably slight design revisions, but that does not necessarily mean newer is better. Some changes can be done to cut costs or facilitate components from different suppliers. Of course sometimes things do get improved, but who knows with these versions....
Rob
I've also been trying to find the answer to this.
I've seen GEN5, GEN6, CUS7, NORDIC etc as well. Would be great to know what they all mean.
I'll throw my best guess in the ring and say- Maybe it has to do with production batches (GEN1= earliest prod, etc.) or global regions (GEN2 = N.America..)?.../shrug
I'd guess it's just software revisions. Some batches got GEN1 flashed, some GEN2, etc...
I don't believe there's been any hardware differences found between models (excluding A500 vs. A501).
My question is can we flash ROMs of one GEN to the other? e.g. my iconia is showing GEN5, but I have not seen any custom ROMs with this number, can I flash a GEN1 ROM without breaking something?

I can't see why not.
The GENs are set for regions, so Acer can keep track of OTA.

Doesn't them limit WIFI channel range or GSM band range based on region?

Most custom ROM's allow 14 channels already because it's handled by the build.prop file. This can also be added to a stock rooted ROM by adding this line:
ro.wifi.country=EU

[Q] cm10 nightly 20130307 vs 20130309 unofficial difference

Guys,
Recently in March there were 2 releases by quarx and posted by sepp.
what are the diffrences between those 2.
Thanks in advance for answer
second question is about possibility to instal rom designated for defy to galaxy SL (i9003). It seems that those devices has very simmilar hardware.
Thanks in advance
Don't know about the first question, but for the later obviously no.
You can't use defy/defy+'s rom on any other hardwares, no matter how simillar they were & vice versa.
Even a small point can make the rom unusable or at least works incorrectly on other devices.

Please be aware that it's a few months old (there are newer builds) and it also covers some performance hints (that may not be necessary with a newer build).
