[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
It seems like if you were following this thread this long you would know. Its been officially announced very recently that the update is going to be released mid Feb and they have stopped producing the zio with 1.6 so they can rerelease it by early March with 2.2 already installed on it. So by the time they have any more zios available it will have 2.2.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Cinas:
Cricket better pull through

The rep I spoke with said that the release is scheduled for Feb 15th and subscribers will be notified via email and text. Hopefully they will pull through or I've got to get something else. The one app I must have wont work on 1.6. Shame.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
What about Sprint Zios?

When do they get the 2.2 update? Hopefully as long as we have waited for it:)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] efan0388:
There's a new site that just started up for cricket androids its new with not many post but at least it has it's own fourm for the zio mycricketdroid.com
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
If they were smart, they'd adapt a similar release for smart phones to snuff out those nasty little windows phones. :-P

Wasn't this already posted? …
[Kyocera Zio M6000] GamerJake0:
At the cricket store right now. The manager had said the zio will be updated to 2.2 in 2-3 weeks. I tried to buy my girlfriend the zio, unfortunately the phone is not being sold until the update happens. I'm pretty damn excited haha
[Kyocera Zio M6000] gregnotcraig:
probably was, but we all know that, with few exceptions, nobody reads entire threads here on XDA :p
[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:
Funny thing is that my brother's friend was at the cricket store a little while back and had asked when the Zio would receive its first update. The Cricket clerk told him that the Zio M6000 will not an receive update and something else about the Zio not being able to receive updates.

I don't know what the deal is but I'm really waiting for either a 2.1 or 2.2 update. My Zio needs a performance upgrade, app install to SD card, and a new face lift.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] aago1254:
i gave up on cricket and kyocera they are the worst companies ever they dont care about us... never getting a update they discontinued it and gave false hope of a update to clear out the stock
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
The store clerks are really unreliable. The Zio is upgradeable, remember the Sprint Zio is running 2.1 and Android is designed to be able to upgrade when one is received by the phone.

One thing everyone is forgetting is that Cricket can take its time, but it can not make the promise of an upgrade and then never deliver on that. It would just invite a class action lawsuit against them.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
Shut up magical shadow.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] GamerJake0:
Magickal is right. Rosco, quit flaming.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
I'm wondering if the update will restore my kyocera logo on-boot.

Or maybe I just need to figure out how to flash a custom logo without bricking my phone. o_O

aago1254, since you think the zio is a POS, how bout tossing it over so we can use it as a Guinea pig?

Just sayin'. ;-)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
Does your phone still boot without it or does it freeze up?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Nah, boots fine, just have an ugly white line instead if the kyocera logo.

The price of getting clockwork recovery working.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I don't think it will fix the Kyocera or Cricket splash screen, the only one I know that the update would effect is the actual Android screen.

I may be wrong, but I am willing to bet you will have to go with a custom screen.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Next project on the list. Heh. Openzio splash screen ftw...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
So does anyone know about this link to sd app for the zio. Its supposed to move your apps to your sd card but it says you have to partition your sd card. Can anyone share info with me about how to do this.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
ok now I am intrigued, i desperately want app2sd I am running out of room...lol like every other day. what can I say I am an app ho...but if that works I will definitely use it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
On this link2sd app it says all you need is your phone rooted and an ext2 partition on your sd card and it will move your apps to your sd. I tried to split partition my sd card but messed it up somehow in the process and its no longer recognized by my computer or phone. I have other sd cards to start over with. Does anyone have any advice on how to do a split partition. I know we won't need this soon when we have the update but I find this a good way to pass the time and also prepare for the worst, like another delay
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Denver Hunter:
Coming directly from sanyo/kyocera rep... the reason I cannot order any ZIO's for my store right now is they are going to 2.2, when the new ZIO hit the order page.. they will be 2.2 and existing ZIO owners will get an OTA update to 2.2

this should happen within feb.. and I would imagine they are working as fast as they can to get it out, as they are not selling any phones right now.

I just hope the transition goes smoothly
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
Same. Thanks for the update!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] z3r0t0l0rEnCe:
Sorry but most of the talk to 2.2 is total bs! They have been saying an update since October!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
But they have always maintained that it woil be late q3 or q1. That has never really changed. We are getting close, must everything us saying February 15, so if that holds true its less than a week away.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
From another xda thread

Wonder why they don't post a definite date. Ah well, just another piece of the pie. Thread 2.3 zio update coming soon.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
They won't post an official date, because delays always happen.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] GamerJake0:
Can anyone tell Me exactly how to access the kyocera update tool? it says to connect my phone to a PC , I did that, what's next?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Connecting to a PC doesn't matter.

Connect to wifi, goto "menu, settings, about phone, system updates, check for update."
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
post resurrection.

first, format your sdcard from your phone (or PC using fat32), then use linux to create a primary ext2 partition on your card.

I'd try myself, but I only have the stock 1Gb card.

2.2 news

I just got off the phone with an cricket rep. I was told that Cricket could care less about its customers and to prove it ...they are sending a mandatory ota downgrade to android 1.5 and they are calling this downgrade codename:cornholed. They are going to also slow down their pretend 3g speed down to 3f :D:D:D:D:D
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
wow I think someone is a little bitter...:rolleyes:
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cricketkilla:
bitter nah.. one of these days i will join the masses and get an iphone you know

u want one..even if u pretend you dont... you cant mess with em nobody can ..nobody will..now lets test how scratch resistant our zios are ..
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
How do I use linux to create a primary ext2 partition on the card? could you explain in a little more detail?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] GamerJake0:
E

Lol fail troll.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] michaave:
We have a specific date range!!!

from mycricketdroid.com:

"2.2 Upgrade to be released Feb 14-17"

"The Upgrade for the Sanyo Zio has a soft release date for the 14th - 17th. They have had it in testing with there testers to work out the small glitches and are preparing to release it to the public as long as no new problems arise with the rom. It will be released in stages according to the users service area. There are no plans to upgrade to acscend past 2.1. This will be the last update for the Zio. They will now focus on there future released androids."
[Kyocera Zio M6000] michaave:
"Steve" doesn't use the best english either...
[Kyocera Zio M6000] kf4omc:
My question is will they be doing the update thru the Update Tool on the phone? I hope we dont need to be in a Cricket home area either. I dont live in a cricket home area anymore.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
I had an iphone, and i can't stand being told what i can and cannot put on MY phone, how my phone has to look. No thank you. Android hands down!
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
I am loving link2sd it is great, my phone is running 500% better. there is so much room now. combine that with the new web based market and I'm gonna be installing all those things I was Forced to remove for lack of space. on a side note I love how the web market pushes the app to the phone for install...pure genius...lol:D

The information on there is complicated. Isn't there an easier way?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] s23bog:
Gparted is a very good tool for manipulating partitions. If you do not have Linux installed, I recommend getting a LiveCD (I am partial to Fedora @ www.fedoraproject.org). If you install to USB thumb drive with persistent storage, you can then install gparted, and it will stay installed.

Sprint Zio 2.2 update

I just bought my Zio January 19, It came with 2.1 installed. I was just in the Sprint store to check on a docking station and was informed the the 2.2 update is set for february 26. This is Sprint that i am talking about not cricket. ( never heard of cricket)
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
Lol, Cricket.... sounds like crap cell company. Oh wait, I have.... Damn it.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:
@magicalshadow

Yeah you're right about about the store clerks being unreliable for more technical information. I fully agree with your line of reasoning about Android being upgradable on the Zio.

I'm feeling optimistic in seeing an update for the Zio.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] DarkkEnergy:
Roscoe77 just needs a virtual machine (virtual box) and install a disc image of ubuntu linux mounted to virtual box. Piece of cake.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
All I did was use Minipartition wizard, it couldn't have been any easier.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
I have mini tool partition wizard. How exactly do I do a split position? I tried it on one of my sd cards but I think I messed it up because my phone won't read it anymore.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
I had that same issue i had to take it out of the phone and do it. I first copied my entire sd card to my pc. Then formated the whole card as fat32. Then i resized it. The remaining i created the ext2. Then click apply on there left, put it back in the phone And stay link 2 sd and it should do the rest. Just a note after you link an ago you have to restart your phone and any widgets for apps you link you will have to put back. Doing forget to put all the stuff back on the sd card. Hope this helps.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
OK I partitioned my sd card the way you described successfully but now my phone says it is a blank sd card that needs to be formated and link2 sd does not recognize that I have an sd card. I formated both partitions as primary and double checked that they were fat32 and ext2 and it still doesn't work. Any tips?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] kashukondo:
My Sprint Zio is bricked! After I tried installing a clockwork recovery, my phone will only boot into FASTBOOT!!

If anyone has the stock boot.img file, or can dump it off their own Zio,

I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks
[Kyocera Zio M6000] cricketkilla:
Bricked LOL

LOL its so funny!!! :D ive checked this thread for months. 1st rumors..next idiots trying to modify the cricket zio with sprints zio android 2.1 ..bunch of people that couldnt do it.. alot of bricked zios .its like trying to put NOS in a geo metro...lmao or a hyundai accent w/e.. If you have junk just be happy with the junk you have.. Now we have the hopefulls... When Cricket slaps you with disappointment this upcoming week..remember who told ya they would do it 1st .ME THATS WHO:D

For the record, none of us "idiots " working on the sprint rom have bricked our phones.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] LordAnarchy:
Its nitrous oxide btw. Naws, venom, zex, edelbrock are brands that sell nitrous. Furthermore, any car can use it. Dry shot install for 50 to 100 hp punch (based on nozzle choice and subject to power loss due to parasitic drivetrains). Wet shots are complicated but possible, just not reccomended for ho-hum engines as engine failure is possible.

Ive heard no update since last november so fail on both counts.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] oconnorfamilyof4:
Again I had the same issue, i just did it over a few times and eventually it took, don't forget to restart the phone. I hope you can get it I really do love it. I would just try a few more times it should take...eventually
[Kyocera Zio M6000] rosco77:
I tried it several times on 2 different sd cards and haven't had success. Maybe I will keep trying, maybe I will wait for the update. Could get it by tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Couldn't have been any easier to do in Windows.

Download THIS.

Resize your current fat32 partition to create some empty space for your new ext2 partition.

Use the newy unallocated space to create your ext2 partition (set to primary).

Click apply.

Restart your phone (I had to restart twice. Once to register super user permissions, and one more time to initialize the script link2sd created).

Easy as that m8.

Well Johnnyboy some people did brick their Zios trying to get the Sprint 2.1 to work on the Cricket Zio. I guess we are not dealing with grade A geeks here just wanna be geeks..

Hell, I blame you guys ..Cricket was like..hey these geeks will figure it out lets do nothing ..but after months of waiting they had to hire some real geeks to put the 2.2 on the Zio cus the geeks on here couldnt make the grade ..
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
I am sure this is a waste of energy from typing, but if you really believe that then you are one lame troll. That is not the way things work outside of conspiracy theories and misguided irritation. It shows you have no understanding of either the law or corporate practices.

As I stated in another thread, Cricket can take all the time they want on delivering an update, but they can not promise an update and then never deliver on it because that would invite a class action lawsuit and other penalties under the law. They also would not be able to just lay back and say "hey, someone on XDA will figure it out" because not only would that be more blatant of a violation of the law than their moving at a snail's pace to roll out the update (not to mention the fact that it would incite a backlash among their stock holders if it ever hit the news).

And last but not least, it is nothing more than an uneducated, unfounded and totally ignorant theory from someone with a bit too much anger over a cell phone for me to consider mentally stable.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Nobody who was working directly with us on that rom has bricked their phone. Fact.

Don't toy with our emotions, I've been running the update tool every hour and still nothing. Can anyone else confirm the update is live?
[Kyocera Zio M6000] mxvris:
It's not live, at least yet. I decided to chime in on their FB page, it took two minutes after my posting for a corp. rep to send me this response-

My name is Ryan and I work on behalf of Cricket in managing their social media. I just wanted to confirm with you directly only that plans are for the 2.2 to be released by the end of the month, but is subject to change. Please stay tuned and we appreciate your patience. Please do not share this with the community as mentioned, it is subject to change and we don't want to have rumors spread.

My thoughts, if I get it, I get it. If I don't I'm on the hunt for a tri-band CDMA "high" end android phone to flash over.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] MagickalShadow:
"toy with your emotions"? Really? How can someone put any significant emotional stock in a cell phone software update? That just seems like a bit much to me.

Next thing you know someone is going to start claiming "post traumatic stress" over waiting for the update.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Im amazed at the irrational emotions something as small as a cell phone update can cause people.

Instant gratification ftw!! 0.o

My suggestion? Turn on auto update, put the phone down and go read a book...

I'm telling you dude, someone is going to walk into a crowded shopping mall in a pink tutu with combat boots on, sporting an Uzi and mumbling about the apocalypse. 20 years later they are going to be doing an interview with Dr. Phil and say "it was that damned Cricket update....I just couldn't take the pressure of waiting anymore so I took my frustration out on those 35 shoppers...."

Now I have to give you credit. You are not just an ordinary coward, you're a coward of the worst kind. The type that can't even admit when he has no clue what he is talking about.

Oh, I'm sorry. I did not realize that you only knew of one way to do a fact check. I was not aware that it would have been such a monumental undertaking to simply ask "hey, are you one of the people that put that ROM on your phone?". Or that it would have been so atrociously impossible to read through a thread to see if I ever mentioned that I put it on my phone.

Of course there is also the time tested option of just keeping your mouth shut if you are not absolutely sure of what you're talking about. Of course that would go against your objective of trying to look witty and being a general douche bag...but still...it is a good option to exercise none the less.
