[Kyocera Zio M6000] Matt724:
Hi, I was also unfortunate enough to brick my phone... curiosity killed the zio. I wanted to try and load a custom rom after getting the universal androot and clockwork, long story short, I now have a zio that is in an endless boot cycle. I have started a thread of my own http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=915621 with what I have experimented with using android sdk, I am looking to see if anyone can help me get some files like a boot.img and system.img to get this thing working again.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hotaru:
try asking in #openzio on freenode. some of the regulars there have had to recover from having nothing but the bootloader and should be able to tell you how they did it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
Anyone willing to try?

Really quick, just scouring the net for any news from Cricket about our Zios or about future stuff I found this site that gives a link to download 2.2 Froyo for the Droid incredible. Now, I wouldn't have posted it up but the very last comment, a user replies he used it to update his Zio although he replied 3 minutes later saying that he was going from 2.1 to 2.2. So, I assume that means he used his Sprint Zio.

In any case, are there any willing test subjects that would try out the file? I would try it but if it didn't work, I would CRY at trying to get it back up:) I'm sure other users could go from 1.6 to this file and back to 1.6 as easy as I blink.:cool:

**Forgot the link!! :)

[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I am a bit skeptical about this because first, it will not update any of the cricket Software, and second is not made to run the Zio hardware (ie the Bluetooth,r WiFi or camera drivers for the Zio would not be on it).

Now, I could be wrong...but from my basic understanding of using software on hardware, it is critical that the software be designed to run the hardware it is on. This software is not designed for the Zio.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
Exactly. The Incredible ROM would brick the phone, at the very least.

The Sprint M6000 ROM does the same. Though they're the same base chipset, there are some other differences that define it as a brick-maker. I've tried it. Had to restore my phone from fastboot mode (a royal PITA)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
At this point, I would highly recommend that people just wait for the official 2.x release, instead of risking bricking their phone by testing unverified roms. I mean, it's not too far off now. Efforts are stalled on porting sprint 2.1 to cricket. It's not worth the effort with the pending update being so close.

Once we get the official update and find out which version we'll be getting concretely, then we can work on porting more recent versions of android to the zio. :-)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hatchetwarrior92882:
I'm on a ascend, the zio and ascend are EXACTLY the same except for the screen. Same processor, same ram, etc. The zio has a bigger and better screen (my thoughts anyways)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7627

528 MHz Qualcomm MSM7625

close but no cigar
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Also the Ascend can handle up to 16GB on the MicroSD. The Zio can take a 32GB MicroSD.

(Per Phone specs on Cricket Website).
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LiuAnshan:
The better proc is what drew me to the zio over the ascend, that and the larger screen.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dizzleworth@gmail.com:
I have been having the same Bluetooth freezing problem on my Sanyo Zio android phone, and it was very frustrating to restart it 20 times with no luck. But I recently found a fix. I love the phone, and that one glitch was bothering me. First off, you must be *ROOTED*- Get "Titanium backup" & "Fast reboot". When BT wont turn on, go into titanium backup & choose "[settings/Bluetooth] settings storage 1.6" from the backup/restore menu & restore it. Then go to fast reboot, and hit the reboot option. When the phone comes back on, Bluetooth should already be on. It really works & only takes a few seconds. Let me know if it works for you.

My ascend has a 600 MHz processor
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Where or how are you getting the processor speed?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
600 Mhz is what I see on my gf's ascend too...

I used the CPU tab on the app, Android System Info by Electric Sheep, I think. Same speeds pop up for both my Zio and the gf's Ascend.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
@rosco77 Don't antagonize.

@hatchet Screenshot of /proc/cpuinfo or it didn't happen.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Does it say 528 for both or 600 for both?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
Screenshot of the Ascend CPU info

Took it with... My ZIO:)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
Same link, with pics:)

I believe I posted this article before but it was in Mobile format. This article is the web version:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2375473,00.asp

Includes pictures of the upcoming LG Optimus and Huhway X5, now with 800mhz:) I tried taking a pic of the CPU info on my Zio with the Huawei camera.... let's just say that you can tell there are white characters on a black screen, the bluriness is added free of charge:)

I've seen folks assault the Cricket twitter page with Zio update questions but they get the "we don't have any information now but will let you know as soon as we do". I wish I could flippin' ask "What is the status of Zio update or what information can you give about future Zio support".

I wonder if we'll see another Kyocera Android phone.

P.S. Can someone tell me you pronounce the name. "Hoo-ah-way".
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hatchetwarrior92882:
Here is my PROOF! I know what i was talking about. THANK YOU!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Huawei is pronounced "WAH-way"
[Kyocera Zio M6000] hatchetwarrior92882:
We have the source code for the ascend, if i was a betting man I'd say we have 2.2 in less then a week, not have to wait on cricket!!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
The ascend and zio are two completely different devices. Different gfx, different chipset etc. We would have a much better shot at modifying the source of the sprint zio, which we tried, and ended up being not so easy.

Just wait for the update ppl.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] phazei:
This looks photoshopped, I can tell from the pixels, and having seen a number of photoshops in my time :p;):D

Now I feel really ****ed by Cricket. First they do take-backs on my $100 off any upgrade discount for having service for over a year, and they put out a phone right after the Zio that's just as fast and upgraded. And the new phone actually complies with licensing and gives source. ****ERS. I hate Kyocera, never getting any of their crap again.

I put this rant on their facebook page:

I wonder if they'll delete it.

Kyocera ZIO software update to 2.2

Hello all. First of all let me state that i work at a Cricket retail store, and received a great surprise today in my inbox. heres the info that all we have waiting for. I copied from my email....

These communications inform you of general updates.

Topic

Android OS Update: Sanyo ZIO 1.6 to 2.2 Transition

Effective Date

21Jan2011

Description

As planned , the new promotional pricing for the Zio 1.6 has generated a LOT of excitement and sales this year. Our order volume have increased by 4 fold since the Holidays. We have been working closely with Kyocera for the best process to transition to the ZIO with Android 2.2 (Froyo).

A few key items to note:

· As of today, ZIO with Android 1.6 inventory is out of stock at Brightpoint

· Since the sell through of Zio 1.6 has been faster than anticipated, we are working with Kyocera to accelerate the introduction of the ZIO with Android 2.2. Availability should be in the late-February/early-March timeframe.

· Consequently, we anticipate that for most of February Zio product will not be available at Brightpoint.

· Keep in mind that there is a strong inventory of BOTH the Huawei Ascend and the BlackBerry Curve at Brightpoint. A new smartphone is on its way in March as well to round out our robust Smartphone portfolio.

Stay tuned for specific instructions for existing customers to upgrade their ZIO to Android 2.2. Zio with Android 2.2 will be an even cooler device for Cricket customers!

Customer Talking Points

Please continue to sell existing channel inventory of the Kyocera ZIO. This incredible smartphone still works great with Android 1.6 and customers who purchase this device will be able to upgrade to Android 2.2 in the very near future.

If Sanyo ZIO smartphones at no longer available at your store, please sell the Huawei Ascend or BlackBerry Curve to your customers who are interested in Cricket’s great smartphone value!

finally update from 1.6 to 2.2 on Kyocera Zio

it was confirmed today, that by mid feb early march 2.2 will be available to the kyocera zio
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
Well....

This e-mail is fishy. I notice that the letters are not fancy and that it lacks any information to see the source of this e-mail or to whom it was for. I will cast the first stone... This is fake.

J/K! LOL. thanks for the e-mail. I think this coupled to the FCC complaint another user made against Cricket and the lack of an update for Zio to which Cricket replied stating that Cricket was in the process of releasing 2.2 for the Feb/March area... I think its a sure bet.

So, who's starting the thread for why Cricket has not update us to 2.3? Too early?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] jcaf77:
2.2 is confirmed mid to late february. hooray!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] azsnakes:
heres the snapshot on the original email. i received. trust me friend, i have this phone and been waiting tooo long for this update my self..

the email was sent to me, from 411 group from cricket. and no i will not reveal the source or my email in this. believe it or not, its legit
[Kyocera Zio M6000] z3r0t0l0rEnCe:
Either way if its true or not I've returned my ZIO as its a POS and buggy as hell. The Assend is a much better phone and atleast is going to be kept up to date.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] schmizz:
It's always next month.

Since I bought my ZIO in September (I am now on my second one since my first one died and I had to pay a $20 processing fee!) there has been a rumor or (fake) letter from cricket saying how there would be an update to 2.1 (now 2.2) alway next month! I'm just sick and tired of it. I'm resigned to the fact that I will probably have Android 1.6 until I upgrade to a new phone. Cricket Sux, but they are cheap, so you get what you pay for.

got a bluish colored screen on my phone today that said 2.1 on it.

was troubleshooting my internet connection when comcast reset my network and had to call them back when i picked up my phone and saw an interesing homescreen, when i tried to get the lock menu off, i lost connectivity and it disappeared.

Not sure what that was or if it is the begining phases of the 2.1 push.

ironically enough though when i went to recheck for updates, it is telling me none were available.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
try SlideIT I love it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
can you post acreen sgot or pic of your new home screen please? I am very interested to see this. could they really be rolling it out already? I guess it would fall with in the "soon time frame"...lol
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
You might have been seeing the my backup icon in your notification bar. I had gotten excited by that once before and did the same thing and later realized it was my backup.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] michaelj798:
I know the difference between the normal zio

screens and the screen that i saw, it said updating 2.1, then poof it vanished.

not to be seen again and still after 18 hours, the update tool on the phone says no updates available.

Never was my intention to get anyones hopes up, just asking if anyone else had seen this today, i am hopeful that it will be soon, but not holding my breathe.

I did get excited that i would be able to upgrade my phone today to no avail.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] aago1254:
i feel the same

ya i had mine since nov and i have given up on even getting a update. i email sanyo everyday now asking for a update just to let them know im here and i want something done i never get responses from them.... I'm doomed to 1.6 until cricket gets everything ready for sanyo its the providers responsibility to do updates. hince sanyo 2.1 sprint. cricket has dropped the ball on this phone for since the release of the phone.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
Believe me I was not getting my hopes up...lol. like most I have resigned to the fact that we are at the mercy of "the man" it more curiosity then anything. I have fo rthe most part given up on the update and come here to rant and be entertained by others' rants. I think for the latest and greatest I'm getting a Xoom in March, then I can post that I have 3.0 and the phones are still stuck on 1.6 :D
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
anyone found a way to reduce the camera lag?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] abmontano:
Just curious, is having root gonna mess with the download if its ota? And is there anything to worry about if i bring a rooted phone into cricket if its not ota?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
it's root, but stock. ota still works. you'll have to re-root after the ota update, however.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
Canon digital camera...lol sorry I couldn't help it :p
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
okay so they just pushed another market update to my phone. from what I can tell nothing changed and the only reason I know they did is because lookout scanned market and it only does that when something installs it scans the "new" program. anyone else see this?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] z3r0t0l0rEnCe:
Quick question! would you trade a Zio for a Ascend? Iwas going to do it but have heard the the Ascend has issues! So would it be worth to do a trade? I have someone who is will to trade but I don't want to if its not worth it!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
Personally I would not. The Zio is more phone, granted it currently has 1,6 but once we get the update in the next 30-45 days it should blow the Ascend out of the water, maybe not but it will defiantly be a better phone. bigger screen better faster processor overall just better. be patient. remember the old Heinz ketchup commercials..."good things come to those who wait" :cool:
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I can't help but think about the idea that there are strong rumors that the Zio is going to update to 2.2. Everyone jumping ship now because they can't wait another 30 days or so are going to be stuck on the Ascend with 2.1. So...just saying that you do trade it in and get the Ascend with 2.1, are you going to be upset if, a few weeks later, the Zio does update to 2.2?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] kf4omc:
I use Camera Magic. it is in the Market. Good free Camera app. No lag. and it can be set to come up when you push the external camera button.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
I know on the Cricket Facebook page it is confirmed they are updating to 2.2 "soon". it is also confirmed that they have no plans on updating the Ascend at all. I would stay if for nothing else but app2sd.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] z3r0t0l0rEnCe:
Thanks guys for your input! I didnt know about the Ascend not getting updates. I did talk to a cricket rep here in AZ and they confirmed the second week of February for the update to 2.2!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
Plus the zio is getting 2.2. There are some people saying ascend will get an update but cricket has stated repeatedly that there is no plan to update the ascend at this time. Probably because the x5 is going to be released soon.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
If FB was up i'd link to the post Cricket says they have no plans to update the Ascend in the future.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] z3r0t0l0rEnCe:
I did find some more info regarding more smartphones and an official stating the Zio getting 2.2 soon!

Anticipation is in the air. Too bad we don't have an exact date.....could have a countdown clock.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] mattpedigo:
hopeful

I've been following this thread since I realized that my poor Cricket Zio is vastly short-changed by the 1.6 OS. Am I stupid to think that the 2.2 will change all that? It is only a 600 MHz CPU but 2.2 seems to utilize the system resources so much better on all the other hardware.

I've put on the ADW Launcher and it brings the phone back to life EXCEPT that it is laggy at best. Can we honestly expect 2.2 to change the performance and general performance of the phone?

Maybe we should all be happy to have a droid on a $60 a month plan.

Haters welcome. :)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
As I stated before, there are other phones that use the same processor as the Zio that have gotten good ratings. Of course they use later versions of Android so it is not a far stretch to think that an OS upgrade will improve performance.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
If you go to the Android web page it will tell you all the improvments some of which are vast changes to the way it manages task killing they no longer recommend task killers in 2.x it wool actually reduce performance. It will be better.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] mattpedigo:
That comparison

Sorry for the question but where exactly is the 1.6 vs 2.2 performance comparison? Or anything about it. I haven't been able to dig up anything through search engines.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Although this isn't 1.6 to 2.2 compairison, it should answer your question in general:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...-it-compared-to-2-1-oh-only-about-450-faster/
[Kyocera Zio M6000] mattpedigo:
ho... ly... sh**
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LiuAnshan:
Yeah, the biggest thing about 2.2 was the major performance increases it has over previous versions.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dakeshon:
I am pissed that I stills didn't get my update. It has been too longer.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Perhaps you could pass the time by studying English..
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
That's awesome!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] selfinflicted1:
We got froyo for the ascend. You guys will prob have to make your own update. Cricket is BSin on the updates. Prob wont be one with the new line of phones coming out.

2.2 speeds the phone up. Cut my benchmark times in half.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] dakeshon:
hahaa, ur funny, i know perfect english :D
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
Well how about proof reading skills. Do you have any of those?

[Kyocera Zio M6000] dakeshon:
Ha, you can kick rocks, I can read, write, and speak. So how about you go fly a kite. HAHAHAHAHA
[Kyocera Zio M6000] mattpedigo:
...

So, now that this thread about the highly anticipated froyo update for the Cricket Zio has turned into a battle of wits and grammar, I say we try to keep on the task at hand. Keep in mind, elevating one's self at the expense of another can be humorous, but is about as childish as a child's command of the English language.

We're about to get 2.2. What is the development stage of 3.0 or forcing upgrades outside of Cricket's OTA service? Will we be able to push these upgrades in the future without being at the whim of the budget giant's lackadaisical pursuit of customer service?

I'm know I'm not very educated about these things but I'm a very technically minded person (IT guy). I would like to learn the process and contribute to the advancement of open source projects for our phone in the future.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Theres no development stage for 3.0. It would be more like 2.3. We worked on sprints 2.1 for a while back in Oct. but it wasnt just as easy as switching the carrier over as we thought. Since there isn't many people technically savvy enough (myself incl.) in our open source project, the efforts stalled. Part of that decision (on my part at least), was that the 2.x release was drawing close and I just didnt see the reason of continuing to tinker with sprints 2.1 when there was a confirmed update pending.

So,, once Cricket releases their update, and we can get our busy little nubs on it, decompile it, see how it works, then we'll move on to bigger better things :)

Feel free to stop by #openio on irc.freenode.net if you wish to contribute. Stay connected, most days there's just 1 or 2 ppl keeping the channel active, but key players pop in and out, especially when there's new goodies to play with..

[Kyocera Zio M6000] mxvris:
I've been following this thread since post #1, I'm not expecting any update period.

BUT, I have noticed something worth mentioning. As far as I can tell EVERY Cricket store (including their website) is out of stock on the ZIO. Maybe an update VERY shortly is coming? and they don't want to sell any new ones without it? Perhaps.

Whats everyone's opinion on this?
