Hey man
Try the 2.3.4 GB from my post MILS2_U6_4.1-22. Is faster , runs smooth, is perfect , but with some wifi router it has a problem; keeps disconnecting in a loop. There is a solution to edit some file and quit the N wifi standard, for G standard, if you want.
Flashing, works without glitch or error (RSD Lite).
Drains less battery power, you will see that.
Looks good.
........ not sure if U CAN DO IT , as you already are on 2.3.4 .... have no idea ,... someone more experienced will know that

I saw that thread, but I have question. If I haven't made any nandroid backup of froyo, can I still downgrade? Maybe some ppl have backup and can give me it? Is it possible?
_____________________________________
I want to downgrade because after update it doesn't see sim card and can't connect to network(radio don't work). And I'm sure that it all worked(before update).. Not sure if it isn't some hardware trouble But I saw guy which had the same trouble as me, but when he returned to stock(from CM) he was back again with signal and seeing sim card.
Thank You in advance

[Q] New Wildfire rom on shipped-roms

Do any of you guys know whats in the new rom RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_142189_signed.exe up on shipped-roms ?
If its the 2.2 update would it be possible to extract the rom and intall it with custom recovery ?
I don't know but I don't think its an update to Froyo...
Because when the Desire get the 2.2 update, the build number became 2.XX.XXX
But nothing's sure until someone install it
I'm scared of installing it because I don't want to loose the Clockwork recovery (I don't know if it could delete it or not) and because I didn't reveive any OTA notification.
PS: Sorry for my english I'm Belgian.

You're correct in saying this is not 2.2. However you can run the RUU and re-root using unrevoked3.
The updated rom feels very snappy, and scrolling seems smoother.
Yeah i just realised my stupidity , obviously it would be 2.2xxxxxx if it had been the froyo update .
Oh well at least thats my phone debranded from 3uk and my phone definitely seems to be running much faster .
Or.. just flash latest WildPuzzleROM
its based that RUU
forgive my noobishness but can i flash this file and if i dont like it - switch back to my old one when i have a nandroid backup?
it likely is more complicated isn't it?!

yes you can
branded on 3
I have a question, if i de-brand my 3 Wildfire, would the free skype/messenger still work, because as far as i know unless your using a branded 3 phone, skype/messenger wont work, even if your using a 3 sim.

Well i can confirm that if you're in the UK both msn and skype will still work perfectly once you have debranded from 3 . I'd imagine the same would be true outside of the UK too , as long as your using a 3 sim card i really cant see a problem .

Best firmware?

Hello, i'm kinda new to this firmware cooking thing!
I've got an I5800L galaxy 3 and i would really like to try some new firmwares!
I've read that from 2.1 everyone chooses JK1, which i really don't know what it its!
Shall i upgrade to 2.2? I'm really bothered with the Low memory for installing lots of applications.
What shall i do? Get a good 2.1 firmware and wait for official 2.2? Or install 2.2 right now? If that, where can i get it?
Sorry 'bout my english.
Hope you understand
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Looks like everyone has upgraded to 2.2, where can i get it? I'm looking to install also lagfix, any help would be appreciated
Well,
i had installed a few versions of 2.2(cant remember witch exactly) for my wife's galaxy 3, and all had some problems... battery life less than a day for all of them.
so that was unusable for her, and than changed it to jk1, and now every thing works like it should...( except gps, witch was the problem with all the firmwares from the start).
so my response is to wait for factory 2.2

Oh ok, and where can i get Jk1?
On samfirmware.com but u must sign up for free.
Sent from my GT-I5800
JP9
JP9 is better firmware for Froyo in my opinion.
JPA, JPB and JPF drain the battery more than the other.
u can get it here (u must login first) : samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm
JPF is the best and latest firmware so far. It has good battery life and performance. Lagfix improves performance furthur.

Rooting and debloating Froyo

So froyo is leaked and installed and all is fun (seems to run a bit slower than 2.1 to me, especially during start up) but I have the problem of A TON of bloatware.
Anybody played around yet? I've frozen a few of them but unsure of what all is good and bad.
How about root? The newest version Z4Root does not work, it stalls and you have to force close it.
got a link to the 2.2 download?
filesonic.com/file/1597204534/Blur_Version.2.159.17.MB508.ATT.en.US.zip
this is the beta version that was leaked out. Go thru all the steps to get the free download, the waiting and blah blah blah.

They have released the non-beta on the motorola site. the only issue is. that it won't install on a rooted phone so you have to undo your root first

Hi!
Well, I made some post with the info that good people make available and that I collect to try to make it easy,in this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211799
I already made the update since 2 days ago and very happy, in my case I found very usefull that at leats by now some usefull 2.2 tricks are very welcome like move some apps to sdcard and few other, but as new detail in my case the 2.2 update is detecting one of my 2 batteries as non original moto, and refuse to charge it, but in 2.1 it works perfect and could be charged...
So, for me is stable and hope that could be better the final release (if it may really happen, since Moto put down the page about the release.... :-/ so could be lucky that at least we have this beta, for possible future roms)
Best regards!
Froyo runs faster and it has a great file explorer built in. The only thing that sucks is that there is even more bloatware from AT&T
I have the phone unlocked and in Canada so my unlock stayed and unknown sources is still available after the upgrade
hope there are some edits soon they get rid of all the bloatware, there are legitimately 12 bloatware apps from AT&T on the phone now.
The interface is a little bit sleeker and the boot up of the phone is now silent, which i love since the old boot up was a bit to loud.
xaser, your guide is what I followed to do mine and I really apprecite your time to put it up. Worked great.
Somebody said the full update is up on moto, anybody got a link? I couldn't find anything.
No I have not tried an older version.
Anybody had any luck with a root on the beta? Or the full version either one?
Are we sure this "beta" isn't the full version? The Android Version in About Phone just says 2.2.2 instead of 2.2.2b like i'd expect with a beta.

Use caution... I flashed back to 2.1 once by simply following the guide in the development forum again. But tried to do it again this morning and my phone bricked. So I had 50% success which is too little for me to suggest it.

Why Motorola make the phone so un-opensource!!!
I know the only issue I had with reverting my Flipside was the RSD software, 4.9 wouldn't detect my phone but 4.5 worked perfectly fine
It's been a day so far and froyo is working perfect on mine

So have you tried to reflash? and as for rooting, have you been able to do so?

I didn't need to reflash, I used RSD to downgrade. Since I had my phone rooted. then I just ran the official upgrade and it's been running like butter for me, real smooth.
I've searched all over for info on rooting froyo on the Flipside and it looks like it's going to take awhile because they locked the phone down tight and the few guys that have rooted the phone have started experiencing problems with the phone because of the root.

Which version of soc did you use? I have had problems rooting with it ever since I updated to the most current version, but I dont remember which version I used that worked fine. I ended up sideloading z4root to gain root, but from what im seeing, that wont work. thanks! Im almost ready to upgrade.

j/k or whenever, dunno how much progress/work people have been making on developing it
downgrade
I have tried that available link to downgrade but all in vain. i successfully got temp root but not able to perem root. so when i put downgraded stock rom, recieving message newer version is there and visionary is not helpful in my case.
Any idea how to do that .
The only reason i want to root is my camera . i dont know what happened to it. but whenever i try to use my camera it ended up in blank screen.
I am not good in that but thinking to change the rom maybe it resolve my problem
Any help / guidance thanks in advance.

What do you mean newer version? Are you following the downgrade guide that requires adb to push, execute some files, and flash all by adb. When you downgrade, you don't simply flash the pd15img.zip you should follow the guide.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Look in my signature, see a link to Wiki. Open it, go to section "Root", subsection "Gingerbread 2.3.4". There will be a guide which needs to be executed IN FULL.
Try and read this with caution NOT ME OR THE PERSON WHO MADE THIS IS REPONSIBLE... it has a one click downgrade and a one click root.. after all that is down, there's a root version of gingerbread available... one step at a time...

[Q] No blue light on reboot (2ndinit)

Hi guys, I've read other threads about this and I'm getting nowhere tbh, The phone is rooted and is on Android 2.1, I read that I might need to upgrade to 2.2 for 2ndinit to work but I've no idea how to do this as the phone says it already has the latest software?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Anybody?

2.1 is NOT the latest update. For 525 is Froyo 2.2.1 and for 526 is Gingerbread 2.3.7?
Anyway you can flash a Froyo from the forum, root it with framaroot and .....
Can someone please post a link for the sbf I need to flash, I've tried to download it but it just goes to ilivid or page not found
