i have to unroot first then update software

or i can update software without unrooting

You can update on rooted phone, I have done it but u will lose root, and all ur apps. You'll have to root it again using the same procedure.

Official from Motorola - No Ice Cream Sandwich

I used the facebook way to contact Motorola, asking them if our phone would be updated to Ice Cream Sandwich. They sent me an e-mail stating that due to hardware limitations our phone would remain on its current android version so that the performance woul not be compromised.

Now our only hope is Cyanogenmod 9.

Here is the e-mail (in portuguese).

Boa tarde,

Nosso objetivo aqui na Motorola é proporcionar as melhores experiências com aparelhos Android. Infelizmente, devido à limitações de hardware, alguns modelos podem não apresentar uma boa performance com novas atualizações. Sendo assim, depois de vários testes, resolvemos manter o SPICE XT em sua versão atual do Android para que o desempenho seja mantido por completo.

Se precisar de mais alguma informação, podemos conversar aqui mesmo pelo Talk2Motorola ou por algum de nossos canais de atendimento tradicionais, como email, telefone ou Motochat (http://bit.ly/s2q6eS).

A Motorola Brasil agradece o seu contato
[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
Hey guys, while playing with this phone today I made a terrible discovery.

The kernel version is 2.6.32 which is the Android 2.2 Froyo kernel.

Gingerbread is supposed to include kernel version 2.6.35

Can someone please confirm my finding so that we can contact Motorola and demand that they provide an updated kernel.

As for those asking about ICS:

The only reason Motorola (and others) won't provide updates is for financial and business reasons. Android is Open Source and can be adapted to run on a wide range hardware. Many phones with even lower specs than ours have ICS running almost perfectly.
[General Questions and Answers] sid5291:
I know it was a long shot even defy+ wont be upgraded its really sad motorola adds alot of bloatware making it impossible for our device to run ICS.

So yes CM9 is our best choice !
[General Questions and Answers] sid5291:
Yeah our phone runs on the 2.6.32.9 kernel ... but isn't that the same kernel as the Galaxy Ace stock kernel ?

I highly doubt Motorola will release an updated kernel ... they have almost no support for this pohne its very sad. Is it possible to use the custom Galaxy Ace kernels?
[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
The Galaxy Ace originally came with Android 2.2 with kernel 2.6.32 then Samsung officially released the Android 2.3 update with kernel 2.6.35.

We can't use the galaxy ace kernel because our phone has a locked boot loader that requires the kernel to be signed by Motorola.

Yes, I don't think Motorola will release any more updates for this phone. I'll contact them anyway, and demand an update for this phone.

The reason I wanted the newer gingerbread kernel is to update the graphics drivers which are reported to provide up to 50% performance boost. Graphics on this phone tend to be sluggish sometimes.

The only hope we have now is Cyanogen 9.

Edit: After some reading, I found out that we're not the only ones having this issue. Many other Motorola phones (such as Droid X2) are stuck with Froyo kernel. Thanks a lot moto :(
[General Questions and Answers] sid5291:
It is really sad :( ... but the graphics seems fine I've been able to play NOVA 2, HAWX, Battle Heart and SummitX with little or no lag on my phone.

But in general the phone could use a big boost in performance seeing the kind of perfomance the the galaxy ace gets with the same or worse hardware in comparison with us its disappointing...!

Please do tell us if motorola reply to your request?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
GOOD NEWS, The The Fire XT532 (exact hardware but dual sim) has android 2.3.7 with kernel 2.6.35.11

That means we can use its kernel without any risk of messing up or bricking the phone.

I'll try to find an XT532 owner and ask him/her for the kernel. Or maybe in a few months, when this phone becomes more popular, we'll be able to get ROM dumps and get the kernel ourselves.

Bye for now. Got tons of studying to do (being I'm a med student).

I'll be back in a few days :)

Hi, I own this phone (xt531) since two weeks ago I also want to root and start hacking but I have some questions:

- Is there any way to get a copy of my carrier´s SBF? I just want a backup in case of problems

- In case of no SBF, has anyone tried to use fastboot and flash romdump images to restore? I have many doubts about this because if the bootloader is locked then you cant use a generic fastboot right? You have to use Motorola fastboot like in the Atrix or RAZR

thanks in avance

[General Questions and Answers] Roqu3:
Hi, that's Motorola open source code files, not the SBF, to flash with rsd lite you need the sbf.

you can use those files to build a custom kernel or to try build a custom aosp rom
[General Questions and Answers] sid5291:
Ok i think i have got it now .. found this forum .. though its in Spanish ( if some one could translate it that would be very helpful, Google Translate doesnt do a very good job)

i think this has the download link for the SBF file from chile for 2.3.5 update..

http://www.chileandroid.com/t6476-mataste-tu-moto-xt531-revive-con-rsd-lite-y-este-tuto-android-235

They have used RSD Lite to flash it..

And i think they have succeeded in doing it ..

So i have a doubt will it matter if i flash the Chile SBF even if i am in India ? are they any differences ? Will it support english or will it be only in spanish ?

And also is there any difference between XT531 and XT530 ?

Thanks in advance ! :)

[General Questions and Answers] Roqu3:
Wow great, I'm from Peru which is near to Chile so i think this will work for me, but i read there that is an unbranded ROM so that will void warranty in case of need :/

I don't know if there's any difference between those models, I came from p500 Forum and there were some devices similar that can use the same ROM so maybe it's the same case.
[General Questions and Answers] tglaria:
I'm from Chile and I have no idea what differences ther would be since I don't know the indian firmware.

The firmware, anyway, apparently is european/asian (unbranded), after flashing you need to change the 3G network to your corresponding region (hence the need of rooting and the app "DEFY Baseband Switcher").

As far as I now, there should be no differences between xt531 and xt530, but I'm not sure about it, if there's no difference, then you could flash it using this firmware without a problem (other than losing your warranty).

Stock chilean firmware does come with english.

==========================

I forgot, apparently, if you connect your phone in 'download mode' to the Motorola Updater software, it will be updated to an unbranded 2.3.5-

You could try it.

[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
This SBF image is the Chinese version of the software. It lacks all Google software (gmail, youtube, market....etc). It'll still be useful if someone here accidentally soft-bricks his/her phone.

Did some messing aroud today with the phone's fastboot, and are my findings. Correct me if I'm wrong.

fastboot cannot be accessed by any key combination on the device. Key combinations can only be used to access "recovery" and "mbm flash-mode".

I managed to get into fastboot anyway using the adb command "adb reboot-bootloader"

Unlike most other phones, you won't reboot into a white screen saying fastboot, but rather its gonna stall at the red Motorola logo. "THIS IS" fastboot mode on this phone!!! --I think :confused:

At first I thought something went wrong, then I used the moto-fastboot utility to check for fastboot devices, and it detected the phone as "unknown".

I sent a reboot command, and it worked so at least we know its communicating with the phone :)

Really looking forward to getting my hand on a boot.img (kernel) from a Motorola xt532 to see if I can use it on our phone.
[General Questions and Answers] sid5291:
Well thats awesome !!! ... I got some of what you said but not all could you dumb it down a bit ?

Also abt the XT532 I have gotten in touch with an owner of the xt532 he has the rom dump of the taiwaness rom so he said he'll send it to me by this weekend will share it here once I receive it ...

About the chinese sbf can we use titanium backup to sideload the Google applications ?
[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
Simply put, I found out how to prepare and flash the phone. It's a little different from most other phones.

As for Google apps, as far as I know, they won't work even if installed by force as the OS would lack the required framework. I think there are ways to overcome that, either by installing the missing frameworks, or backing up our original "system" partition and flashing it after installing the Chinese rom.

Thanks a lot for all your effort sid. Looking forward to that xt532 rom :)
[General Questions and Answers] sid5291:
No problem .. not much of my own effort just alot of googling lol .. :) ...!

And Thanks alot to you for being ready to develop for this phone which very sadly doesnt have much support from the devs or Motorola, leaving us stranded :( !

About the google apps i found this link>> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=896312 , this is a signed update.zip file which has the market and contacts sync ..! :) .. its for the defy wondering if that would work for us cause once we get the market it would be easy enough to update and get the rest of the apps. right ? and since this is signed by motorola there shouldnt be any problem in flashing it ?

Anyways will keep you posted on the XT532 ROM dump !!

Awesome work and hope this really works out !! :)

[General Questions and Answers] Roqu3:
The thing is if "flash" command will work or if after flashing the device will boot, I am confused about this because I don't know about locked bootloaders, on my other phone (LG P500) never had this thing about locked bootloader, we can hack the device in anyway and always return to stock, also is very hard to brick it, but with Motorola i read that they locks the bootloader so we dont have access to recovery or boot, am I right? but with fastboot we can flash boot or recovery anyway?

Motorola puts their source code on Sourceforge and theres no XT532 files yet, if they put that .35 kernel source there maybe it can be compiled with XT531/XT530 config, flashing another device boot.img or compiled kernel mostly ends on a soft-bricked device.

btw I already tried to build the .32 kernel from Moto sources but its like they didn't put all the correct files in there because it gives a lot of errors.
[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
Actually, we do have access to stock recovery on this phone. Problem is that it can only flash secure signed .zip files. I don't know about other possible complications of secure boot yet, but we'll see. The reason I want an xt532 rom is to extract a kernel that is already signed by Motorola hoping that our locked bootloader would accept it.

fastboot has a command to boot kernel image from a temporary ram disk without flashing it to rom for testing purposes. We can use that to

test

the xt532 kernel without worrying about bricking.

The command is as follows: fastboot boot boot.img

noob help

as the title goes, people who all have rooted their phone, can you guys tell me the status of your internal memory? i mean i just get only 25mb of maximum internal memory in XT530!! is it normal or i need to format my device?

Plus can you overclock this device to like 1Ghz? i heard we could!
[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
Unpack them using the app attached below. I did it, and it extracts the partitions as *.mbn files.

I tried booting the bootsec.mbn in fastboot, but it doesn't work. Complains about image being incomplete.

For test purposes, I made a copy of my own boot partition and tried to boot it and it still complains of an incomplete image!!

I guess Motorola has modified the firmware in a way that we cannot even boot/flash anything using the current locked bootloader - even the stock image.

The only way around that is making (or porting) a custom recovery and using it to flash the newer kernel, and eventually ICS. And seeing as how Motorola has locked down the phone this way, we won't even be able to flash a custom recovery. We're gonna have to use boot strapping to get the custom recovery to boot. (After some reading, I found out that most modern Motorola phones actually use bootstrapping to get around the locked bootloader issue).

At this moment, I just hate Motorola. Why don't they provide tools to unlock phones like Sony Ericsson and HTC.
[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
Edit: never mind for now!
[General Questions and Answers] Roqu3:
Thanks for the file, the boot image is complete I renamed it to boot.img then unpacked it with dsixda's kitchen and has no problems, I saw the zImage and the ramdisk, so its the locked bootloader the one that blocks fastboot, I remember that devices like Atrix or RAZR has their own Moto fastboot files, so maybe we need those files for the XT531 to be able to flash modified images or maybe a custom recovery.

I don't know if it's posible to use bootstrap or 2init on this device due to the small internal space but it seems to be the only option.

I tried booting the zImage with moto-fastboot and it worked :D

I used: moto-fastboot boot zImage

For the first time ever, the fastboot said downloading okay, booting okay and phone rebooted.

After booting, it still shows kernel as 2.6.32.9!! shouldn't it be 2.6.35.11?
[General Questions and Answers] Roqu3:
Great! Maybe that device also had .32 kernel or maybe it still takes some data from your kernel.

Tonight ill try to unpack system partition to check build.prop to be sure this was a xt532 ROM, anyway did you notice some performance improvements?
[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
I have already done that, this is a genuine XT532 ROM which should contain the 2.6.35 kernel.

No, I haven't noticed any performance change. I actually don't think it really booted from the zImage, even though it said it did!!

Can we play tegra games using chain fire 3d. I tried sprinkler but doesn't work and also the flash player isn't wrkin on my firext 530
[General Questions and Answers] Roqu3:
Damn, yeah maybe the bootloader still used boot's kernel.
[General Questions and Answers] Dr. Hurt:
I think I have an idea about what happened. When using fastboot to boot the kernel, the phone reboots which I think it shouldn't as that clears the RAM where the kernel is temporarily placed. I think there is a problem with the fastboot on our phone.

I think the only way to get the kernel to actually boot is by flashing, possibly by replacing the bootsec.mbn in the XT531 SBF with the one from the XT532 SBF and then flashing the hybrid SBF. This is a little risky though as it could soft-brick the phone.

I am currently experimenting with modifying the SBF and bypassing the phones secure boot. Maybe then we could use SBFs to flash custom/hybrid ROMs. I'll keep you posted with my findings.
[General Questions and Answers] Roqu3:
We can pack Chinese xt531 bootsec.mbn with xt532 zimage then repack Chinese sbf and flash with rsd-lite, in theory that should work, but yes i also think that would softbrick the device.

In case it works maybe wifi will not work because that kernel needs the modules that are on system/lib/modules/ of xt532 ROM

I can't really play with the device now because it's my wife's phone, but I'm interested that this phone get more stable dev to make it better

Android 2.3.5 on this phone has caused many problems including calendar app crashing on the indian edition, arabic not working on the default multitouch keyboard, and many others. And now market app icon not working!!

If Motorola does not provide an update to fix these issues soon, they'll earn themselves a nasty reputation in countries where the number of users of this phone is increasing, mainly in Latin America, India, some European countries.

I actually think Motorola will release an update for it, sooner or later, not because they want to but because they have to. Only time will tell :)
