In "about phone" I find that my Defy is:
Firmware version: 2.1-update1. Is this in fact the Android OS version installed?
Build Number: JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 Is this in fact what in this forum is referred to as the phone's firmware version?
I ask this because do far I have seen firmware version only referred to as 2.51.1 and such. It seems very improtant to know before attempting to root the phone.
Yes, I've tried to find the answer elsewhere, no luck
Thanx to anyone with an asnwer!

Yes, 2.51.1 refers to the build number - there is no Android version 2.5[xxx]
All 2.51.1 ROMs are based on Android version 2.1/Éclair.
2.2/Froyo ROMs all have build numbers along the lines of 3.[xxx]

Thanks for clearing that up!
Root Achieved
Thanks for the advice.
1st I needed to download the Moto Tools (Moto Driver Installation).
I ran 1.7 of SuperOneClick but it kept freezing waiting for Device after appearing to push RageAgainstTheCage to the Defy. After trying numerous times with 1.7 and turning on/off debugging at certain places, I tried 1.3 of SuperOneClick and that worked right away.
Appreciate all the help!

Which Android SDK version is required for the T-Mobile G2 Touch?
I see under about phone several numbers:
firmware: 1.5.
build: 2.73
software: 1.0.0.A6288
Could someone tell me which the actual Android SDK version I will require is?
Just treat it as a Hero. Forget the T-Mobile nonsense.
Mine is technically a G2 Touch.

You only *require* the SDK if you wish to develop applications for the phone.
Nowadays, you download the SDK starter package, and then add "platforms" for the various versions of Android that you may wish to target. Currently available platforms are 1.5, 1.6 and 2.1.
Unless you are running a custom ROM, your Hero will be running Android 1.5, so you need the Android 1.5 platform.
Regards,
Dave
Thanks. Yes I have several versions of platform installed. I was confused as to which version was on my phone.
android 1.5 is SDK 3

I found appbrain but still I need to know why my android does not have alingplayer and this indiccate that something not right or not complete on my delis market
Which ROM are you running?
Isn't this a known issue with 2.2? I think there are fixes for the market floating around.

You must mean the stock 2.1 Android ROM. "Droid" is the name Verizon has given to a line of their Android phones.
Have you seen this thread, specifically post #8?

I have received the update and installed it too! Everything seems buttery smooth and faster than before! Install it now! :good:
Note: I do not know how to extract OTA file from the update, so hope someone could be able to help in sharing the OTA zip file with us.
Seems you are using VPN to receive the update. Which VPN are you using? What is your / the VPN location?
Which screen protector You use? Looks good, any specs or link? I'm in Germany, still no update for eu version.
Seems like only the Motorola employees are getting the update. above photos are familiar to me. Seen somewhere in Facebook page of Moto.

Hi, I am not using VPN. Just using Adguard. I need to turn on the VPN to activate Adguard adblocking. Cheers!

You should be getting your update soon!

What network are you on?
The most important question, were you guys able to keep root, or install root after updating to Nougat? Thanks!
Yeah, with unlocked bootloader it's easy, just flash a zip in TWRP
Thank you Lonixlon, have you personally updated your X Force while having TWRP? I had a problem with installing OTA security patch as phone booted directly to TWRP. Do you know any workaround for that?
can anyone help this guy to share OTA file?
My idea, maybe stupid and wrong - Update arrives depending on the CID of the phone.
The version of the system says "retapac", which stands for "Retail Asia Pacific" - a retail version of the phone for Asia and the Pacific.
But I do not understand what is written in "On the phone" before upgrading to NUGA. Take on incomprehensible things, mismatches, in the version of Android, the Baseband version, the system version and the build number. In the build number is very old version of the system mpks24.78-8-12, in the version of the system is the latest version of the system with the upgrade to 6.0.1, but here the old version 6.0 and the old modem.
I have a lot of questions without answers ...

Well, may I express my opinion here too. I have an XT1581 Kinzie from China, it came with Lollipop 5.1.1. Workling perfect.
I go and update it to MM 6.0 using a Mexican or LKatin America rom, I keep the modem for the baseband from the Lollipop 5.1.1 Chinese rom, everything works almost better than before, not a single issue.
Now,m I tried to update it to Nougat 7 following the Google+ guide, a nightmare, although an enjoyable one!
First, I have only one sim working, no wif. Try anoth system, now I have two sims OK but still no wifi.
At the end, after many trials, I went back to my old MM 6.0 LAt rom, backed using TWRP, and the system is back to normal with everything working OK.
Did you ask me if I'm going to change? Nope, I'm happy the way things are, unless an official Nougat 7 ir 7.1.1 rom comes by, not loosing other time.
I agreemthere is a lot of confusion between the various roms and regions.
This news about the update and the video is very similar to the fake... Just why from such an ordinary case as an update do such a stupid circus?
not yet arrived in Indian version XT1580
neither for reteu.retfr
I have moto x play, is that mean android nougat not so far from us...??
Hey everyone, in the last few months, I have a weird problem on my HTC 10 phone - green lines and split screen when I recording video.
When I see it on the phone it works fine, but when I share it on whatsapp,facebook,instagram, etc.. All the other devices see it with green lines (If I see what I shared it looks fine too). I tried to change ROM,Kernel but without success. Any suggestions?
Example in attachments.
Thanks!
Android 7.0
Current ROM: Viper10.5.11.0
Kernel: 3.18.31-ElementalX-HTC10-1.08-Sense
Build number: 2.41.401.41 8.0_g
I believe you are probably still on Marshmallow firmware, and Viper10 5.11.0 is Nougat based. You need to update your firmware.
What does it say next to "OS" in download mode? That is your current firmware version. Build number in settings > about is the ROM base. Also, are you S-On or S-Off? With that information I can direct you on the best way to update.
I'm trying to install the Global ROM V425 using the official method given on Nubia's website, but it's not working. If anyone can help me solve the problem, I'll be so grateful!
I downloaded V425 from the official download page and copied the NX669J-update.zip file to the root directory of the phone, then tried to do the update as follows:
Settings >> System Update >> ... >> Local update >> select the file >> Only install
After about 10 seconds, I got this error:
Upgrade package and the current phone version does not match, can not be updated, please check the current version is obtained from the official channel
I'm not sure what to do now, and having seen that error message I'm now afraid that if I try any other method for the update I might brick the phone, since I've already been warned that the software is not compatible.
The current software version is NX669J_CNCommon_V7.14 and when I checked for updates I got a message telling me the current version is the latest.
Phone info...
Model: NX669J-P
Red Magic OS: V4.5
Build number: NX669J_CNCommon_V7.14
Android version: 11
Hardware version: NX669J_V1AMB
Thanks for reading and I hope you can help!

UPDATE: I noticed that in the About Phone section the device name is "腾讯红魔游戏手机6Pro" which translates to "Tencent Red Magic Game Phone 6Pro".
Seems it might be the Tencent version of the phone. Could this be the reason I'm getting the error message? Is it possible to put the Global ROM on the Tencent version?
Hi,
I am originally using global version with the latest updated v4.25 rom since September and i think you are using the tencent set with CN rom installed on your device. Why would you change to global? Is it cooler with CN rom? I bet you will regret you will lose so many features that you can get on CN if you are migrating to the Global rom.
The main reason is that the phone's current ROM doesn't have Google apps/services
Is it possible to sideload Google apps onto this device with current ROM or the only way is to flash global ROM?

If i am not mistaken, you can download the PlayStore from apkpure website - https://m.apkpure.com/google-play-store/com.android.vending and start to use Google application afterwards once successfully installed on the CN rom device you are using.
Thanks a lot - maybe I have been overcomplicating this issue! Will check and see if j can get it installed

That's fine. But some Google apps will not working at all eg like Gmail or Google Duo (i am not very sure exactly) because it still recognise your device status. You may check one by one any Google apps downloaded from the PlayStore later
