[Q] Confused noob seeks enlightenment

Hi there,
I have a Motorola Defy on Vodafone UK, that has just had the Vodafone Froyo update. I have tried to find an answer to my question, but no joy.
I would like to get rid of the Vodafone software and use the UK retail version, as then my phone would work as advertised. Unfortunately I get confused by all the different software identifiers on my phone, and wondered if someone would be kind enough to explain what bits could/should be updated.
When I look at Settings/About Phone I see the following
System Version: Details removed to allow posting
Firmware version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: EPU93_U_00.59.02
Kernel Version: Details removed to allow posting
BPflex version: UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R
APflex version: GAS_EMEA_USAJRDNFRYOVFGB_P021
I had to remove the software file identifiers to be able to post this, but the phone has just had the latest Vodafone Froyo update applied. Hopefully someone will still be able to help by explaining what the titles mean.
I have successfully rooted my phone with SuperOneClick, but am just trying to get a bit more more understanding before I do anything stupid. I quite like the idea of CM7, but think that may be a bit advanced for me, so will perhaps stick with the UK retail Motorola Froyo once I am sure I know what I'm doing.
Thanks

As you have rooted it yet you could delete app with titanium backup from the market.
I can say i have installed custom roms on my defy a few days after i got it, just follow the faq and how to post and you won't damage anything.
Btw, if something goes wrong you'll find help on this forum anyway...

Confused - Do I Have All This Right???

I have spent a few hours reading the forums and getting understand things, but one never knows if one really understand things until one summarizes it themselves and asks others to confirm it. So, my situation and summary are below. Do I understand???
I live in South Korea and got the MB525. I like it very much, but I have SK Mobile. The last straw came when they installed even more stuff on my phone (like Korean social network programmes) without my permission, using some form of auto-update even though I had that disabled, and now will not even let me turn off auto update on those programmes. Also had a problem on a trip to Malaysia where the Korean emergency number (119) was the customer service number for Maxis - hence calling customer service got me the fire department!! I am just tired of having so many junk programmes on my phone and not having real control over the phone.
The phone runs 2.1-update1 and I would like to instal a generic version of 2.2 or 2.3 (that is cy7, an unofficial version of 2.3 right). I would like a version that is not country specific, but in English. By doing all this I hope to be able to have complete control over my phone, not have troubles using it internationally (sim is already unlocked but things like emergency numbers being programmed in), and be able to install and uninstall any programmes. I hope that by doing this SK Mobile will not be able to install any of their own software and that I can uninstall anything I do not like. I do not think I need moto-blur (do I???), so a version without that is better, I think.
While new to phone technology, I am good with computers and have my own web site, so I think I have the ability to do the upgrade per the 'All in one Defy Beginners guide' (Serious thanks for that). I'm sure I can figure out how to flash it properly, so no worries there.
My first question is what version/package would others recommend so that I have an English version that works internationally / meets my requirements. My second question is do I understand thing right above and am I on track, and my third question is what am I not thinking of?
Thanks a lot, and sorry for such a long post but too much is new all at once.

haha... yes CM7.1/MIUI or pretty much the other roms wont give you any trouble using it internationally, and yes if you install cm7.1 they(SK mobile) wont be able to 'update' your phone... and yes just follow the guides carefully and your good to go... Good Luck

Since your phone is for SK, then I'm sure that most of the ROMs in here won't have no problem with your Defy.
I suggest CM7 for the function, and MIUI for the theme lovers.
DeBlur is absolutely, since that function just make troubles instead of goodies. Emergency Calling ? Um... not tried editting yet.

OK, thanks for the help above
But, next question. My phone runs 2.1 - update 1, but is I think Eclair version. I bought it in Dec, 2010. I have decided my first step is to upgrade to 2.2 and see how that goes.
But from the how to guide the bit below is very confusing:
CG Version 2: SBF 2.21 / 2.34 / Chinese (Éclair)
CG Version 3: SBF 2.51 (Éclair)
CG Version 4: SBF 3.4.2 (Froyo)
CG Version 5: SBF 4.5.0 / 4.5.1 (Gingerbread)
How do I relate version numbers listed on my phone (2.1) to the list above? I assume I want 3.4.2 but how can I understand version numbers so i do not make a mistake?
As my goal is to upgrade to a version that I can downgrade to 2.1 if needed for warranty reasons, I need a fixed SBF for Froyo. Can anyone give me a specific link to such a SBF version?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions. The learning curve is a bit steep.

Why don't you upgrade from official site.....
can you provide link to the guide you mentioned...

Root your phone (using superoneclick), install 2nd init, after that just flash CM7.1, no need to worry about sbf for CM7, although there is a recommended base ROM, im using it just fine flashing it over my original rom... dont know about others though...

[Q] A100 ICS versions 014 vs 015 vs 017

After a lot of reading it seems there are at least 3 builds of the official Ics update. Does anyone know what is different between 14, 15, and 17? Also are there any links to the manual updates? And one last question, what are the extensions of the updates? ie: pa-ca and gen1 and the others.

Good thread...
014 is WW_GEN1, I am not sure if that is the official update, since it is not going to come in OTA, can someone with this ROM installed, report what languages are available?
I know, I changed to GEN1 Honeycomb build and updated to ICS 017_PA_CA after 4 or 5 updates, this build only has English, french and chinese as options. I'm standing at best buy now, updating an EMEA_GB (was my original build 2.007.04_EMEA on Honeycomb). The device has finished updating, and it's running the following build: Acer_AV041_A100_1.023.00_EMEA_GB (wow build 23). The image version is 100_RV02RC05_EMEA_GB.
The languages available are English, French, German, Spanish and Italian. Looks like European firmware to me. If anyone wants this update, I can post my original honeycomb install, you will need to install the GEN2 honeycomb first, then use DD to copy back my partitions over. I will put this on my google drive when I get home tonight.
Sent from my XT860 running ICS

I'm running zeronull's "official" 014 gen1 from here. It has 25 languages, including some I have no idea what they are. I have seen some reports that some people got 014 ota.

I personally don't have copies of 015 or 017. But they are talked about here and on androidtabletforums.

http://www.acertabletforum.com/foru...-decoded-official-version-ics-a100-xda-2.html

My Image version is: Acer_AV041_A100_RV01RC03_WW_Gen1. This is the OTA that I got on 4/24/12.

I found several screen shots of the different builds:
.014 gen1 and .015 pa_cus1 pics are here<<<
.017 pa_ca - HERE
I have confirmed, after downgrading to THIS version of 3.2 will get you .017 after a bunch of updates. I am currently running it.
I'm still wondering if any people smarter than I have looked into any differences between the 3? And why there would be more than one officail OTA updates?
Thx

Here's my chat with Acer support.
Naveen KumarA: Hi, my name is Naveen KumarA. How may I help you?
Naveen KumarA: Are we connected?
Josh Clarke: I received my update to Android 4.0 on my Iconia A100. My build number is Acer_AV041_A100_1.015.00. Some people I know got their update and their build number is Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00 or Acer_AV041_A100_1.017.00. What are the differences?
Naveen KumarA: I will certainly help you with the information.
Naveen KumarA: Josh, please note that who are all getting the update as (Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00 ) will receive (Acer_AV041_A100_1.017.00). This is the steps by step process.
Naveen KumarA: There is no difference between these update.

If there is no difference between the versions then why would all be getting the .17 one and it being a step-by-step process?

Lifetab E10310 root

Hi folks,
I would appreciate it if someone can help me getting the Lifetab Tablet (E10310) rooted which I bought about a week ago. Unfortunately I have to post the thread here because of the forum restrictions (less than 10 posts...).
Referring to the main threat http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 modes 1, 2 and 3 haven't worked with the latest v30. It seemed that mode 2 was close to get the tab rooted at least as the console screen didn't show up where you have to enter the two command-lines (/data/local/tmp/...). Further the background image changed and the manufacturer characteristic apps were gone after the process so I had to make a factory reset.
Specifications of the tablet are as followed:
Medion Lifetab
Model: E10310 (MD 98382)
MSN: 30015596
OS: JB 4.1.1
Kernel version: 3.0.8+

Maybe someone from you or Bin4ry himself can give something to the best thanks

rooting method lifetab
Isn't there anyone having an idea ?
I think there are many people searching for a way to get the tablet rooted, can't believe it's that complicated. Maybe someone can refer this thread to the upper main thread.
I would spend two beers for the person who got a solution for the problem

V31 doesn't work too.
Still nobody who knows to root Lifetab E10310??

It's possible!
I've just found the way to do it, thanks to this thread (in French).
It uses the Chinese VRoot method, explained here. I have just applied it without problem. My tablet is now rooted.
Just be sure to delete the original Chinese superuser app with a file manager, as described in the main thread.
In addition, I had also to uninstall the app with a chinese title (at the end of the apps list), that is installed during the procedure. I have no idea of what it does but it is present in the App Store. Anyway, I don't understand the messages in Chinese. That second app is not described in the main thread, probably because it is installed by a new version of the VRoot Windows program. You don't need it.
[EDIT] The installed app is available on the Play Store here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mgyun.shua.su

Thanks r0lZ :highfive:
it works perfectly.

im looking to enter the recovery mode if this tablet since kaspersky locked my friendsout.
he wanted to uninstall kaspersky because his license ran out, it asked for a code and now he cannot use his tablet anymore
