Hi,
I'm running a stock orange FR rom (4.4.20) and have already rooted my atrix and installed CWM. Til now I wouldn't flash it and wanted to wait for the official FR update, but I just can't wait !
I tried to find the best ROMs for my atrix but can't decide which fits the best... Are there lots of bugs in the available ROMs ? What about the battery life ? It's pretty comfortable with the stock ROM, but I'm afraid of loosing autonomy after flashing...
If I flash a new ROM, it looks like I won't be able to apply any OTA update. Is there a way to go back to something "official" ?
What ROM would you advise ?

I have survived a long time on stock 1.5 rom. Have been waiting a long time for 2.1 rom. Now that it is finally coming to me, I am starting to consider if I should just root and install all the other roms out there now, just in case stock 2.1 cannot be rooted....
any comments ?
I am using a singapore hero ..
2.1 cannot currently be rooted, do not flash it if you want to root.
Thread moved.
just root and install a 2.1 rom, theyr exactly the same but with a root features
yeah i was also gonna ask the same question .. it was running whole time on my mind ..
Currently i am on official 1.5 firmware , i am waiting for 2.1 update also i didn't root my phone yet but planning to what if i install official 2.1 update ? later i can not root Hero ? & can't install or flash any Custom ROM ?
Or root now & install Custom ROM ?
would just say you can not root after you upgrade to offical 2.1 from HTCs site or OTA or RRU file...
while you are on 1.5 root!
once you have a custom recovery you can flash a update.zip file that contains 2.1 offical upgrade minus the SPL upgrade and recovery and radio..
it would be just silly for anyone to install the offical update direct from htc. there have been so many threats about this...
hope this helps though
Hi xda, i bought Samsung Galaxy S5670 Fit as my first android device and i m not very familiar to android handling. Well i m here to ask how can i upgrade my Device from froyo to gingerbread. My friend told me how to root using superoneclick rooting and i have successfully rooted the phone. Next step he told me was to install ROM manager and Flash ClockWorkMod recovery to backup my froyo apps and setting and everything. I tried to flash ClockWorkMod but it failed since i don't have any 3g/wifi connection to my device. Now i need help that how can i back up my Froyo ROM (incase i brick my phone during upgrade) and get firmware and all the necessary file for the upgrade. So far i know that gingerbread is available only in europe version (i m from asia) and only thing i need to do after upgrading to 2.3 is to change language. Can i get some guidance to backup my froyo rom for recovery and upgrade to gingerbread?
it(gb 2.3) is available trough kies
dont try to install clockworkmod recovery in G-FIT. its not available for this mobile.
U can download gingerbread rom from samfirmware.com and use odin to flash this firmware.
And u can also download froyo rom from the same site but u cant get asia rom as it is not available.
And important i am not sure it is possible to install froyo after installing gingerbread.
I am not telling its not possible, but i dont know.
And gingerbread have many bugs. Its not final release.
i have a S5670 too...is it safe n possible 2 upgrade it 2 gb 2.3 (i seriously dont wana brick it )...also is da upgrade worth it ,i heard der isnt much diff betwn froyo n gb except fr da keyboard
There is firmware S5670XXKPG with Android 2.3.4 at samfirmware.com... you can download and flash it with no problems...

yes u can upgrade to GB without any prob and yes there are no diff btwn froyo and gb visually. both r same. But performance wise gb is gud and many GB features are dissabled by samsung. and its testing version and the first version. its not final. So it is having many bugs.
download the GB rom from samfirmware and flash using odin. try it. if u want to get back to froyo, just download the 2.2.1 froyo version rom from same site and flash using odin.
I've got a galaxy s2 from 02 and it is branded and running o2's flavour of software.
I've attached 2 screenshots to show the version I have.
Is it worth it for me to debrand, what would I realistically gain? I've looked through the forums and it seems there is newer generic firmware available. But there also seems to be mixed opinion as to weather it's worth upgrading. From what I can see I have 2.3.3 KF3 if that helps
It also appears that by flashing generic stock firmware via odin I will still be able to use kies so any future releases will download through kies using the firmware update feature?
Answers as always appreciated.
IF you download, from here, the latest stock Samsung ROM, then you will be able to fool KIES into thinking that your phone is no longer an O2 SGSII but a unbranded one. Thus you will be able to get the next available update of the official stock ROM when it is released via KIES.
The most important feature is an improvement in battery life.
If you stick with the branded ROM, then you have to wait a few months for the stock update to be customised by the operator and released.
This is the most important: if you flash an unbranded ROM, then you have invalidated your phone's warranty. You can simply reflash the O2 branded ROM, again available on here, this will put you phone back in warranty.
ok I see is there a link to the post that has the most recent fw? I will ofc check the dev forum stickies Many thanks for the swift reply and advice.
Without a doubt, so many good custom roms available and more newer stock firmwares. You can undo everything so no need to worry about putting it back to stock o2
cheers
Yeah I think I'll flash to generic stock rom then take in the updates from sammy, I'm blown away with this phone as it is running stock roms.
Will wait for ICS to be available on a un-official rom before I debate custom roms,
As soon as I got my sgs2 from O2, I debranded it straight away
Wow what a difference my phone is marginally faster one booted on 2.3.4 bootup is way quicker internet also seems faster.
Unlike X10i flashing new fw didn't basically factory reset the phone everything was as i left it bar the fw.
Had slight issue where it seemed to hang at the last big galaxy s screen for a minute or 2 when first booted but all phones seem to do this when flashed.
One question - my market hasn't changed os there a new one and should it automatically update?

Guys i've one simple question.
MY Atrix is already unlock and it under stock rom.
my question is,
is there any side effect when ever i try to update my device via Over the air update, when ICS Come?
If you are on a stock rom then it should update just fine.
unlocked boot loader probably won't help,thats why when I updated mine to .141 and it relocked it,I just left it that way.
If your bootloader is unlocked and your are running a custom rom then you shouldnt get OTA updates and if you do they will probably lead to issues. If you want the stock motorola ICS i suggest waiting till it comes out flashing back to the stock 2.3.6 and the manually upgrading to ICS

Check for "unlocked" at top left of the boot image screen, download and run "root checker" from playstore, it will let you know if the device has been rooted. android version should be 2.3.6 and build ends with 141. Sorry, it's been a while since I've run stock ROM.
sir my version is gb si 2.3.4 T_T but when i check the Software update via On-the-air-Firware no update available. T_T
sorry i've so many question
Hi, I have a HTC One from Rogers and I want to install one of the stock original roms from the international version of the HTC One, I found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292640
but I end up having too many files to choose from, asia, tw, europe, even rogers, tmobile, etc, which one do you guys would recomment?
What Im looking is to be able to get the updates directly from HTC once they are released OTA updates instead of always having to download custm roms or relying on them upgrading their version of roms.
Thanks.
what you want isn't possible without SuperCID and installing the actuall RUU for a WWE phone. OTA will fail on a stock rooted rom because of custom recovery etc etc etc...
flash ARHD 10 its stock like and 4.2.2:victory:
Thanks I guess I will go with a custom rom then
any rom that has OTA update so i dont have to flash all the time there is a new version?
ARHD is your best option now. hands down
