I'm new to this site, and have searched as much as I can but I can't for the life of me find what I'm after.
I have 6 Vodafone V1605's - 1 of them has the latest ROM update which has the Messaging and Security Feature Pack the others don't. Having looked in the downloads section there is only the 2.3.0 version. I've called Vodafone who have told me that it "SHOULD" be available for download this July (so not too long to wait) but can anyone point me in the direction of where to get it? or wil I just have to be patient...
Is it possible to extract the ROM update off my 3.3.0 device and reflash it onto the others?
Thanks in advance...
It used to be one Vodafones website but they removed it a couple of days ago. I still have a copy though and I can upload it to a webserver if someone sends me ftp details.
I am not 100% if this is the ROM you are speaking about but I bumped into this file on a blog:

Vodafone have a downlaod site for updates/firmware upgrades ? This just for Sweden ? Else anyone have the URL ? as vodafone.co.uk is pretty useless for device support.

Thanks DoubleVision - that seems to be the file I need!! Thanks to all of you for your replies. I'll upload it later today so that others can get it...
Cheers.
I can confirm that the url on that blog is the officail vodafone rom I have as well.
The officail vodafone websites for ROMs is hidden at http://s131209249.online.de/vodafone_software/index.htm
They dont link to it from their website, they only send it to you if you need a rom. They dont post all roms on that site either, I will post the FTP link when I get home (wednesday) so you can browse with an ftp client and see all their roms (original, updates etc).
Hello Freddie,
Can you still post the FTP link for Voda? I need either the launch ROM or update for the 1605 and I can't download it from rapidshare. For some reason rapidshare keeps telling me I'm already downloading something else from their site (I'm not) and I've been trying for days now.
I'd really appreciate it if you let me have voda's ftp address. Thanks.
anyone got a copy of the psfServiceMod, 3.3 i think is one for FW version 3.55.
I got some mix matched ps3's i need to re-marry logic boards on and i cant find the files to use my aria to put my ps3 into service mode. Klutsh's site is no longer up so please dont send me links to his site, will have to be at another location. or emailed to me either way.
thanks in advance
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 ??

Tell me if they deny !!!!
They will surely !!! No questions asked !
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!
Hi,
The sound has stopped working on my Yotaphone 2 (206 running the latest MM firmware).
I think it's a hardware problem so I want to return it to stock and send it back to Gearbest.
Can anyone share with me or provide a link to mirrors of YotaPhone 2 firmwares; specifically the most up-to-date Chinese one?
The ftp site does not work and hence Yotaflasher and the reworked Yotaflasher are not working for me.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the share, but I must have asked for the wrong firmware. I need to put my Gearbest Y206 back to stock and when I received it I had Google Play on it so must have been HK firmware as CN does not have Google Play! Please help (again)!
Have you searched for your firmwares in the main guide? There is a torrent, since a while, which contains all the firmwares previously available on FTP.

I realised that after I posted here. Thanks for looking after us Yotaphone users. Great torrent.
I found a file online but it says it's for Canada. I found no USA ones at all. Can I use the Canadian one or can someone point me to the USA version? Fwiw the file I found is: SM-T580_T580UEU4CSC1_T580XAC4CSC1_XAC_Canada_8.1.0_4File_(by_firmwarefile.com)
I am not so naive to not understand that the name on the file could be purposely MIS-named to cause havoc. I found nothing on the Sammoblie site or at Samsung itself. This was the best I could do.
I am only thinking of flashing it because the tablet won't allow me to add a second user... the original PW was 17 characters but after the 16th one it won't let me type the last digit in. I don't think this is an FRP thing, but ti's annoying at the very least.
The tablet was purchased new in 2016 I believe, it runs Android 8.1.0 If I omitted pertinent details please advise.
Thanks to all who reply

The ROM for Cellular South is the one for the U.S. Try using Frija.exe with XAR as the region code to get the latest stock ROM.
hi lewmur,
Thanks for the location of the stock ROM, I'd have never found that. Additionally another forum member offered to help me, I appreciate that too.
sadly today I have a lot of physical pain and can't be in front of the monitor too long. Today isn't a good one. I can't even find the way back to my OP... I know it's there somewhere, it's just a matter of me finding it again.
When I feel better I will search for a Tab A forum to thank the other gentleman who replied very quickly as you did.
Best regards to you both and I will let you know how I get on with it.
