Thanks for this thread, I am interested in getting this phone for my girl...but will only pull the trigger if it can be rooted and have custom roms installed.

Thanks for all the hard work from you guys.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] lisser6:
thanks

thanks for all the help on trying to get a new Rom for the zio please let me know if there is any information needed from my zio and if I can do anything to help. I'm very surprised the zio is not getting more attention... I love the prepaid option.

im using root explorer and i am now waiting for it to create the zip file which is taking forever 15 minutes now on the preparing to zip screen i will upload it as soon as i figure out how to remove my contacts and calls and txts from it before posting it i did make the very first mod for the phone tho you can find it in android themes

hey

Any progress on getting a 2.1 or 2.2 rom for the kyocera zio.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hpservertech:
Should be soon. I've been helping the guys get the info they need. Right now we are trying to get the EPST info.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] velazcod:
Can somebody with this phone dump the full ROM to a zip file? I'd like to go in and try figure out how they are dealing with their proxy stuff, thanks

this was posted in another thread on this very forum...does this not work?

also, I am new to Android...does this phone not run 2.2? if I root it, will I be able to upgrade it to Froyo?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xTONEx:
rooting it is only the first step. it does working using that method, but there are no updated or custom roms for the zio yet... thats what your waiting on pretty much

I have the same problem i have to go to settings--> Applications-->manage applications--> Bluetooth-->force stop

i usually do it a few times before turning it on :( i get soo stressed out too :(
[Kyocera Zio M6000] garmaekawa:
I use the Power Control widget. Same for WiFi & GPS.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] aj203355:
Something that may help when your Zio freezes up.... I use the volume up and/or down when the phones freezes up. I used to have internet functionality issues but not so much anymore...battery life sucks. Best keyboard hands down for me is ultra keyboard. Also when you send emails with zio...double check your outbox because sometimes your emails will just sit there and not get sent....I also use quick boot for the times my phone wants to not work properly

Hey guys just wanna thank those who have done the system dumps for us.... was a BIG help in fixing a problem I was having with my Zio.....

After rooting and backing up everything with TiBackup I had attempted to remove some bloatware from the phone.... Namely the stock email app(not gmail) and the stock IM app (not google talk) well apperently you cannot remove the IM app for some reason or you will get com.gapp.whatever crashes and force closes...... thinking no big deal and trying to restore them from Ti backup didnt work.... apperently Ti didnt(or doesnt) make backups of certain applications(even when told to backup all user apps and system data...) unfortunatly the problem isnt fixed with a factory reset either..... Basicaly I had to take the dumps in this thread and dig out the system/app folder and find the correct apk for the provider IM and reinstall it that way.... long story short.... everything is working like a charm again :)

anyone have a list of what bloatware they where able to remove without crashing the system????? so far its just been the couple game demos and the stock email app that I have been able to remove.....

Once again... thanks for the dumps guys!!! helped me out of a sticky situation!!!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] aj203355:
I think what you are looking for is at the beginning of this post. I may be mistaken but I think someone had posted how to remove the stock bloatware. Thanks for all your hard work everyone. This update needs to hurry up and be released by cricket already. If its waiting to be tested they should allow for beta download testing.

[Kyocera Zio M6000] s23bog:
Perhaps there is some kind of h/w problem with mine (and perhaps Yanily66's as well). Forcing a stop worked once, but that's it. And the problem is getting worse. When new, Bluetooth worked for a couple of weeks before I started having problems. Now, I am lucky if I can get it to turn on at all.

As for the power control widget...that is useless if bluetooth won't turn on.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Sounds like a defect to me (my bluetooth works perfect). You have a 1 year manufacturers warranty with Kyocera (if you registered your product with them). I would suggest contacting kyocera in regards to their RMA process.

If you have the protection plan with cricket, then you _could_ swap out the phone for a new one, but theres a hefty deductible that you'll have to fork up first....

I don't know if this is news or not or if anyone already posted in this _long_ thread yet. but it looks like the SANYO Zio & KYOCERA Zio are virtually the same (we all knew this) EXCEPT the radios.

Ok, so like a total nob I got a bit giddy with my phone and removed a few system apps with titanium backup. The one that seems to be important having now read around the internet for the last 24 hrs is Gtalk which is directly linked to market downloads. I am unable to download anything from the market(just freezes on starting download). I have tried reinstalling gtalk from several apk links on the internet but doesnt seem to work.

Flash Cricket Zio to different network

Is it possible to flash the Cricket Zio to fully work on Metro PCS? I was in Memphis and bought a Zio and had Cricket service. But I had to move back to Florida. Cricket tells me that if I use too much time in a partner coverage area that my phone will get shut off. I just paid $250 for this phone and would like to keep using it. Any help?

Take it into metro pcs and see if they can flash it.

any particular version you're using? my friend with the zio said he tried that and it didn't work

Sprint 2.1 Rom

I may have missed it in all the posts, but has anyone been successful in creating a rom for the sprint zio 2.1?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dreamstryder:
go back to the beginning of this thread and on the first page is a zip of the system dump for the phone..... unzip it go into the system folder and under apps looks for the gtalk.apk there..... its the one that came off the phone and it should work just fine!!! I did the same thing with the IM client(not the gtalk) and it crashed market and a bunch of other stuff too....

How did you get barnacle wifi tether to work? It runs without crashing on mine. When I start it it says running at the. Bottom but I can't locate the wifi signal on my ps3.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Ps may not pick up zio signal my buddies zune wouldnt pick up
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Ok so I'm sitting at my buddies house playing this game on his tmobile mytouch 3g and it says you have a system update. So I get my buddy to update his phone and it updates to android 2.2.1.. now I ran quadrant benchmark on both devices before he updated and the zio had 3 places higher than mytouch 3g so we could definitely go to 2.2.. (hint,hint CRICKET,KYOCERA) jus' sayin
[Kyocera Zio M6000] ghostrotor:
Well I was only testing it on the ps3. What can I use barnacle wifi tether for then. My main use would be a laptop when I get one but it seems kinda lame to be limited to only that.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Well its weird.. my buddy with a droid could tether to my fone when I activated barnacle but I couldnt tether to his signal so it seems to be the limits of the zio radio and not barnacle
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
I am using barnicle version 0.5.2 and it works fine for me, I don't think the ps3 will pick up the signal. To get the connection to my 360, I connected via laptop and shared the connection to the 360. You may have to do it that way! The 360 would pick up the signal but I do not have the wireless usb adapter for the console.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
My bro just got a verizon palm pre, and I'm able to tether to his phone with my zio and he was also able to pick up my connection using barnicle. Also my psp picks up the barnicle as well!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
Yes, the PS3 doesn't support ad-hoc wireless networks, which is what Barnacle provides. What I do with mine is tether the phone to my PC and then run an ethernet cable from the PS3 to my computer and make sure internet connection sharing is on and it works fine. XBOX 360, iPod Touch, and iPad will connect to an ad-hoc network though.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Reminds me of something I saw on twitter today:

:D
[Kyocera Zio M6000] ghostrotor:
This is why we need os 2.2 then we would just hotspots our phones and use the signal on whatever we want.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] ghostrotor:
Oh one more thing. I got barnacle to work on my friends laptop but it seems to do a Nat restart after like 5 min and I have to press the stop then start button to get it to work again anyone have any idea why this is happening?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] wwwilly1986:
On my Zio, Barnacle will only work if I toggle the "Skip WPA Supplicant" setting off in Barnacle. Also, I cannot put my phone to sleep while Barnacle is running. Other than these two quirks it works okay for me.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Ok got a ? For everybody.. I got a car that has Bluetooth and it picks up the zio perfect.. but it also allows u to play ur music from phone thru the car speakers but when I try to sync it up it can't find whatever it needs to connect so I'm wondering has anyone been able to stream to car radio with zio or if not what could be the reasoning? Thanks in advance
[Kyocera Zio M6000] killa619:
Thats really weird...i couldent get my wifes droid to connect on my zio.barnacle runs fine even picked it up on my laptop but not on her droid :-(
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hpservertech:
ok, so about we actually get back to the topic of the thread? Reading through this it seems like it is 80% not related to 1.6 upgrade.

Where are things at with it?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
It is not realated to the 1.6 upgrade because 1.6 is not an upgrade. The upgrade would actually be 2.1. The thread was started for modding the Zio. If you read the first post it clearly states that. Modding can be taken to mean a number of things from creating custom ROMS, upgrading, skinning to adding 3rd party apps depending on who you ask.

The short answer to the question of “where are we on the upgrade” is “not there yet”.

At the moment it is a toss up as to whether the users will have the 2.1 upgrade prior to the official release in about 2 to 3 months or not. As it turns out, it was not so simple to get the Sprint 2.1 to work on the Cricket phone.

The best advice right now, don't get antsy for it. They are doing all they can, but sometimes things are just not as smooth going as we all wish they would be.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] zyrtek69:
Yeah ideally you would have some ?'s and or answers to the dilemma and not just out of nowhere try to get the update that these gents are working furiously working on.. the main focus is getting the zio updated and not being raped by cricket/kyocera but good questions will be accepted as well

Rooting

I've been following this topic ever since I got my Zio about a week after it came out for Cricket. I've always been leary of new OS's that are untried and uncertain and still have alot of bugs so I've been biding my time waiting to find out the best, safest way to root my Zio and, of course, for the ever elusive 2.1 upgrade lol,.. But for now basically as far as I've read is the Root using the N1 the best right now? Can someone tell me where I can get it easiest and what the best way to root is currently for the Zio? because I want to be able to utilize Barnacle a few other apps that do require rooting to do so. Thanks in advance!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
what exactly do you mean by "doesn't recognize"? you flashed the zio port of clockwork, yes?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] telecomdude:
I thought I had, but I think I chose the wrong phone model was chosen accidentally the first time, then I found the clockwork zio image and flashed that but the phone is still having issues...I think flashing the wrong rom first might have really screwed something up....the odd thing is that clockwork still doesn't show my phone model...I flashed it telling it to load the clockwork-recovery-20101031.img from the sd card
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Flare106:
Alright im having a bit of an issue and was hoping someone could possibly help me out. I did a factory reset on the phone by selecting it under the USB/storage and after i did the factory reset my phone is now stuck in a boot loop, it will keep powering off and going to the kyocera screen and it does this continuosly. I put it in fastboot mode and typed fastboot -w into cmd, and formatting user data and formatting cache appeared on the phones screen and still the phone is stuck in the boot loop. Does anyone know what i can do to get this damn phone working?

*edit* its weird, my phone was working fine before i did the factory reset, i just wanted to clear everything off and start fresh with it. I have no clue what could have happened!

Universal Androot
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
This is the correct clockwork, ported by phazei and others: http://db.tt/txPHr0M it's the one you flashed in the end?

that should get you back in working order, as the phone does a factory reset when you flash (something they're still trying to figure out)

if you used the wrong clockwork to make a backup, it probably didn't get all the needed data for a proper restore.

if you need the zio dump it's elsewhere in the thread, or i can post a link...

if I flash that will it set my phone to 1.6? I noticed that the file name was for a cricket phone...

[Kyocera Zio M6000] aj203355:
Just a heads up for everyone, I believe that the 2.2 update includes a patch that will not allow 1-click rooting. You would have to load a rooted rom if I remember correctly.

I've been following this thread for a couple weeks now and decided to go to a corporate store the other day and one of the Zio-owning employees said that he was checking into it and heard that it's not going to be updated until late December/ early January, and that the Ascend is going to be updated for since it's already on 2.x........ but that's just what he told me....... on a side note, quick (stupid) question: i've got universal Androot, now how do I uninstall Uno and that stupid bowling game?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cuāuhtli:

[Kyocera Zio M6000] seabhac:
hey all I'm thinking about upgrading my 1gb memory this phone came with to a 32gb Micro SDHC card. The thing I been wondering though, there seems to be several speed rating classes for Micro SDHC memory cards. Does anyone know what the Zio can handle? I've seen a class 2 and a class 4 so far and want to make sure I don't buy one that the phone can't handle. thanks!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
As long as you use an SDHC card, there should be no problem. The class rating simply states the potential speed the card can be read and written to. If your device can only read and write at the speed of a class 2, then it doesn't matter if you use a class 10 card, it will still work. If your device can read and write at the speed of a class 10 but you use a class 2 card, then it will work at the speed of class 2 and depending on what you are doing, you may see some poor performance. Mainly this would be seen in using the card for high def video or large file transfers.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Delete them manually. You need a root file manager or do it via adb. The apks for the extra carrier crappy are in /data/flex/app, if I recall correctly.

The specs for zio are better than the ascend. The zio's processor is 600mhz, the ascend 528mhz the zio has a higher resolution screen, expandable memory on the zio is 32gb, the ascend 16gb.
