I will upload an update.zip for you guys to flash via Clockwork mod recovery.[thank Suhas,coz this is based on the backup provided by him]

About baseband,baseband flashing is completely different from rom flashing.You cant do that via CWM recovery or by restoring ICS backup.Spice or Karbonn wont provide that,K-touch might provide that,but chinese equivalent phone of ours are yet to get ICS.

So its highly recommend u visit a Spice service centre and get it updated to ICS.

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:51 PM ----------

Here is the link to Spice ICS flashable via CWM recovery - http://www.mediafire.com/?8255p98plmnhjcm

Do the following before flashing

Boot into recovery -> Factory reset

Go to mount/storage -> Format /system

Note - Most probably your sim cards wont get detected because you need to be on the newer baseband(flashable files are not yet available)

This is for SPICE-Mi425 ,but Karbonn A9 users too can flash it. (guaranteed sim card wont work + display color problems )

@suhas - Please link this post on the first page :)

question............

do i need to carry the bill to service center to update ics ??? well, tats a hypothetical question..... so pls just tell me guys who updated "did the service center ask u for bill" :)

ok...... now i went past the spice logo into a BLUE SCREEN.... :( gr8!!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrsureshisha:
No need for bill. The upgradation is free for all Spice Mi 425 phones. I have done it, at the service centre, without showing the bill.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] suhas.holla:
here u go two basebands for Spice mi 425 2.3.6

FIRST BASEBAND :591520_8427_WCDMA_V3014.zip

LATEST BASEBAND:591528_8429_WCDMA_V3064.zip
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mahfoozceecy:
Are these basebands compatible with ics?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] suhas.holla:
No these basebands are for gb version of w688 or mi425
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rjunraj:
Can this flashable ics rom be ported to mi355?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mahfoozceecy:
Do not flash these basebands on karbonn A9, or spice mi 425 running ics, baseband flashing is not like Rom flashing.it's a little bit risky.

So wait.I'm keeping an eye on Chinese forums.I'm 100% sure ics is ready for karbonn A9.

---------- Post added at 06:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:32 AM ----------

If mi355=ktouch w619, then there is already a test ics build out there.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mahfoozceecy:
Did you factory reset and formatted /system before flashing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sadhu_s60:
factory reset -> clear dalvik -> format /system -> reboot recovery -> & then updated the zip

the stupid spice service here @kol doesnt hav the update... asked me to come back after 2days ....

even if the SIMs dont work, was hoping to get the taste of ICS on the device till then :(

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ch@ts:
Even Samsung, Sony etc, roll out updates very slowly. And their phones are at a 30-100% premium compared to Spice.

Spice has rolled out an update about 3-4 months after the phone was released, but they don't have the resources the big names have to make it available everywhere immediately.

So far, most peoples phones are working reasonably well, and the ones that did have problems have gotten replacements from Spice. So their service has been okay, and in fact it's far exceeded my expectations. They've also got a facebook page with a forum where they reply to concerns pretty fast.

I'd like to have ICS installed on my phone today, but I'm not going to complain if it takes a bit longer. I didn't expect any after sales support from Spice, since even Nokia, Sonys and Samsungs service in India sucks.

You should have asked about the number of Spice service centres in your town before you bought the phone instead of crying afterwards. So, stop abusing a company that's actually making an effort at customer support, especially since your only complaint is a percieved delay in an update that was promised to be delivered soon, but with no actual timeframe.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrsureshisha:
I got problem when misused my rooted mi 425(gingerbread). I installed the fresh stock rom method, but to get a blue screen, but I was safe, not breaking the manufacturers warranty. When I approached the service center, they were really friendly and resolved the problem just in one evening. And they told me that ICS update is going to come ASAP and asked me to come for it. When I have gone to them for ICS update, they only took 30 minutes, for upgrading. They were so kind in accepting my request in not to install unnecessary softwares. Now I have rooted using the method from my XDA FRIEND "Suhas.hallo" . I am greatful for his root method, through which I am right now enjoying my ROOTED ICS. But as mentioned by you, Bro, almost all the service centers of various kinds have various problems. I had unlimited problems with Vodafone post paid, so I ported it to airtel, recently. Got so many problems initially with tatasky, but after a long run for justice, I succeeded. With Vodafone I never got justice. But it's only my experience. Many out there are voting for Vodafone, for there better service. In India these issues are never ending, as the law and the administration us very much corrupted. The only solution as Indians is to wait with patience. And to fight against corruption, just support the people, who are are fighting against corruption. I personally don't believe in nationalism, because it's the root for the division and is the strength for the corrupted politicians, to divide us and rule. Change should be from within the individual and those individuals when come together, is revolution.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mahfoozceecy:
I think spice is far better than karbonn.They already responded to my emails, while karbonn's official emails are all out of service.

You should be thankful that you guys got ics update that fast.The reason why ics update is done via service centre only is because of the baseband upgrade process which cannot be carried out by an ota.

the 1800xxxx spice contact number doesnt work... on fb they just say "we have noted & will contact back" & then nothing

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mrsureshisha:
I have rooted my ICS upgraded mi425 using your method. Initially to check for rootedness, I used root checker app, which confirmed the root. But now the same app is showing that phone is not properly rooted. But I have access to the root and all the apps which needs super user permission to access toot are wonderfully working.

While checking for the root the root checker app says my phone is very slow, inspite of my phone is fast enough.

What could have gone wrong?
