For those of us who are rooted, don't want to update parts of the OS, who want to stay on an older versions of updated OS files, or just are on a custom ROM, here is a flashable of the firmware updates (which include bootloader).
This updates your bootloader to version 3.15.
Freeza, you rule... Just saying

Nice work!
Quick question for you, will the bootloader and firmware updates persist after custom ROM updates or will I need to reflash each time?
for example, I'm running CarbonRom at the moment which is based on JSS15Q - I've flashed this zip without any problems but will I need to reflash it when I install the next nightly?
Cheers
Macca
It will persist. No need to reflash.

I should be more clear, in the example you gave, it will persist, but if you do something that will flash the bootloader like factory restore or its updates, the bootloader could change

Yeah, I should have been clearer as well - I was basically checking that custom roms don't flash the bootloader (I'd assumed that a factory restore / ota update would)
Nice to see ya here Freeza!
I am currently on [JSS15Q] - CleanROM 1.6 I am wondering if this would work with my current rom as a dirty flash? anyone tired while on CleanRom 1.6?

Does firmware mean the audio driver, sensor driver, wifi driver etc?

No, it means bootloader, resource power manager, trusted zone.
Quick queastion , I was on JSS15J when stock, flashed ROM that says now JLS36C. If I flash this will it erase everything and do I even need to? Thanks for the help.
It won't erase any user data. Whether you want to flash is up to you. You'll get it automatically if you wait for jls36g ota.
Why is the 3.15 bootloader not available as .img file in the google recovery as always? I normally flash bootloader ONLY by using fastboot?!
Awesome!
I flashed this and my dead gold fish came back to life!
You're the man, OP!

Will this work on stock? I can't get the ota to install.
Still JSS15Q after flashing?

After successful flashing this zip-file on my rooted JSS15Q version with TWRP the Android version is still JSS15Q. That's right? I expected JSS15R.

If you want the 3.15 bootloader .img to flash in fastboot, I added it to the download section of this thread:

This is just the bootloader that came with 15R. If you want 15R, download and flash the full rom package.

Hi,
This is the first time I've tried rooting a device so bare with me :good:.
It's taken me a few attempt to get things working on my Defy MB525 I've managed to root it with SuperOneClick and install either CWM 2.5.1.8 or SndInit2.3 (which uses CyanogenDefy Recovery v5.0.3.1). I'm now at a stumbling block where when I try to install a custom ROM on the device I keep getting...
"E:error in /sdcard/*ROM name*.zip
(status 0)
Installation Aborted"
Is there something I'm doing wrong or is it just the recovery programs I'm using?
What's the ROM you are trying to install?

I've tried a few now. The latest 4.4 alpha roms by Quarx, CM10 Android 4.1.2 also by Quarx and MokeeOS 43.1 and all come up with error.
Try to wipe the sdcard.
I'm downloading the file on a different computer as maybe the Antivirus on the work PC is messing it about. Also does the class of SDcard make a difference? It's only a class 4 8GB.

No, the class has nothing to do. Use recovery to wipe, and not windows.

4.1 should install. 4.3 and 4.4 need a newer recovery.

For 4.3+ you need to first install 4.1/4.2 first to get the newer recovery.

Right I've just managed to get cm-10-20131030-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip to install from Quarx. Will let you know if the install is successful.:good: I would like to eventually install 4.4 KitKat when a more stable release is available.
edit: Succesfully installed . Just got to put Gapps on now.
Just install the zip from SDcard using your current custom recovery.

Thanks for the reply. I noticed that after I flashed with the 4.1.2 Quarx from there was a new bootloader on it. This should make it easier. I had to wipe and start again yesterday because I cocked up the Gapps install. In the end I went with the 30th Oct 2013 build of CM10 by Quarx and got the Gapps from www.goo.im/gapps. All seems to be running fine now and finished setting it up last night.
My girlfriend has a phone she can use now as her old one broke and she didn't want to use the Defy as the data couldn't be switched off on the stock ROM and would cost her a lot on her data plan (500MB a mth). Her Mum got a new contract with a Desire C so the Defy was going spare .
Since nexus 4 doesn't have OTA updates from MIUI, I need to flash either full or incremental update.
Will it wipe all my data from the phone?
How can I update MIUI without wiping the phone?

I don't know abt the kernel but I am loving this rom so far. No lags, the UI is perfect fit for the screen and loving some features like DND, IR etc..,
but the only thing missing is the gapps. We need to install separately i think. Loving the Internationalized weather widget too.

I got that problem while installing ROM, i am in GPE 4.4

Ok there can be different reasons for this.
1.May be a bad download. Try downloading it again.
2.May be you did not clean flash it by wiping cache,system,data. Try wiping everything except internal storage and try again.
3.May be the recovery you are using doesn't support installing this rom. Try TWRP 2.6.3.0 I got it installed perfectly with that.
4.And finally the firmware which you are on. If it is GPE firmware then try switching to sense before flashing this. I had hell lot of problems with GPE firmware like unlocking the bootloader, installing the roms etc..,
May be these are not the reasons for your problem but just give it a try and report back

You get status 7 error only in three cases.
1.You edited the updater script in the rom
2.You did not download the rom properly.
3.Mainly you are not using the right recovery. Try using TWRP 2.6.3.0 or higher may be.
