It's no official from moto. It's a custom rom. found http://www.peteralfonso.com/2011/05/download-stock-rooted-gingerbread.html

so....?
so can i apply this update just like an OTA update or do i need to be rooted or anything? or is there a link to some instructions in a forum as to how to do this, so no one has to do alot of typing?
thanks

.......Smh
Hi eddyfalmaguer86,
From a sticky post in the EVO Q&A forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747495, which was last updated on 8/10 as of this post (8/21), it appears that there is "no known way to root a stock Froyo at this point."
This appears to be the inability to downgrade the 0.93.0000 HBoot which comes with stock Froyo, but my guess is that perhaps in a few more days or weeks, some brilliant guy will find a way.
Good luck.
Sorry to jack the thread, but in froyo release it said we are able to add and search unknown friend on friend stream. Anyone know how the hell?

If you read "in forums post from last month" that it was not able to be rooted, if you wanted to know if there has been any change from that, wouldn't you read "forums post from THIS month" to find out the latest news?
I think the admin should make a popup window when someone signs up, that says in huge fonts.. "Evo with version 2.2 already installed on stock phone or with OTA update, is NOT rootable at this time"
Click OK if you understand this.
When they click OK, it pops up again and say's the same message, but with "No, Do you REALLY Understand this"?
Click Ok if you REALLY Understand
Then a popup comes up and says "Ok, if you REALLY do understand, please type
"I understand Evo with version 2.2 already installed on stock phone or with OTA update, is NOT rootable at this time"
Once the person has successfully typed that in, registration advances

Hey there: Quick Q about CM7 + defy

Hey guys and gals, just a quick query really. I know that Motorola Defy is soon to get the 2.2 update in Europe by the end of Q2, but I saw a post about some German guy who sent his phone to get fixed to Motorola and it came back with 2.3 official on it. Is Defy going to be seeing 2.3 officially?
And also, because I have wanted 2.3 for a while now but only just got the courage up to start modding my defy (I have flashed & rooted many phones before but didn't dare to do it to my contract one, but now I am confident! and have been making steps towards installing cm7 on it).
I have been following this guide;
OK I cannot post this link because it I haven't posted 8+ times. going to post it like this (hopefully I wont get into trouble >.<)
Part A: that http stuff
Part B: world wide web
Part C: techofweb
Part D: dot com
Part E: /technology/installing-cm7-motorola-defy.html
and have gotten to the install the cm7.zip. now the download link is an SBF file...
is it safe to RSD Lite it from here or should I find the .zip file, I'm rather unsure at this point and don't want to proceed with the possibility of f-ing my phone up.
ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED! thanks
Chazara
Ah
The guide link is on this thread;

Ah... Again
Sorry to be a pain, this thread can be removed. I figured it out.
My own laziness is certainly a hindrance.

Hello everyone I bought one of these phones, I am a newbie here so any information about this problem I am having will be greatly apreciated. I am a total newbie as to the OS and the nature of android phones so please be patient with your explanations and no jargon or abrevs for now until i learn
Basically when i try to update the android system it gives me a message saying Verizon wireless unavailable and doesnt give me any other options to download or update via my current wireless connection at home.

Please, anyone tell me what I need to do.
The seller pointed me in this direction and said I would find the answers here , something about the OS.
What do I do?

Well, you're not gonna get any updated firmware which is what requesting an update would be looking for. The reason is there hasn't been an update released yet.

But hopefully it will come soon! If you are unlocked, you should check out some other threads for almost fully functional ICS ROMs.

Thanks guys for your replies.
I will look further into the ICS ROMS as suggested.

How to update android ?

Hello guys, im newbie in roms and all the phones stuff so please dont criticise I have a HTC Desire Z with Android 2.2. My question here is how to update it to newer? 4.4.4 would be awesome, i want newest i can. I found some posts on couple of forums about this but every was like "format, flash, update, boooom done". Can anyone tell me how to do it from begining? I mean how to format it the way it should be, how to flash, what do i need etc.
Also i found this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374927
Is it good? I know i shouldnt ask what rom should i pick, im just asking is it good to use on this phone.
Thanks in advance
Hi,
The second post in this thread will help you understand the initial process
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2348266
You need to use gfree to exploit and root if you want radio s-off which is the only way you should root this phone. And be sure to read through all those links to understand fully first, I know it may be overwhelming but it is important.
As for best ROM, we don't make suggestions in xda but the third and forth post will link you to every to available. Gingerbread runs the best overall but there are many ICS and jb ROMs that work almost as well (some will say better) and KitKat has come a long way where many will find that it suffice for daily use.
You'll have to try a few, make backups, try a few more to see what works best for you
If you get stuck somewhere just ask in that thread and many are there to jump in and help
Best of luck!
