That depends on your service provider.

Wait, you're saying it lets you flash this non Motorola signed update.zip from stock recovery in the Chinese ROM?
If that's the case... Couldn't you just prepare an update.zip that adds root privileges, and flash it the same way?

I was just thinking the exact same thing!
All you chinese XDA'ers now have a new mission: Track down the source of that update.zip!

It's probably come from Motorola.

Yep... probably. But why would they first send out a stripped/de-googled (read: crippled) firmware, and then post the update.zip?

Can anyone try and create another update.zip that will flash successfully on this ROM? If so then it opens up mega possibilities.
If this is truly signed by Motorola, maybe it's because Google isn't on good terms with the Chinese government, so Motorola created a backdoor way to get Google Apps on the phone.

just one problem.
the google map is 4.7
why use 5.0?

but with android robot. I didn't try this yet because I don't know if its normal.
It's ok? I will have the recovery in this rom?
Edit: The lower right corner... I read it today, and is one of the oldest defy thread...

this doesn't work for the rooted version of the 2.2 Chinese rom

Will this update work on device sold in China,PRC?
I got it directly from retailer with an official 2.2 rom inside.Enough tolerance to Moto adware.Want to blow them away and install a fully functional google app setting.
P.S:
1.What does the 2.51 or so for the roms mean?Don't think that's calling the rom,since 2.3 hasn't arrived yet.Affraid of bricking my device,I didn't attempt flashing blindly.
2.Anyone seeks luck with CM mod for Defy?Raised as a CM fan.

TELUS Desire Froyo OTA Update - Please Post!

Anybody who updated their phone OTA, please post the ROM!!
Specifically interested in some config files.

so they wont allow users who opt out of a data plan and or dont have wifi to update?
RUUs are leaked and shouldn't normally be open to the public. If they were they'd be on HTCs website (like with their WinMo RUUs)
Guess you cant always trust a telus rep, they told me that the update would be downbloadable from a pc if i didnt have internet access for my desire. (ive been prodding tech support for 2 weeks now trying to get info on when the update is)
I don't see the point in posting the ROM. What would be needed in it that we don't already have or use? Plus if I wanted to do the update that would mean downgrading back to 2.1 and then upgrading.

He said he is interested in some config files, no idea what for. Can you even post just a rom from your phone? Wouldn't you need to extract it from the RUU?
The RUU would be nice though, I'd like to know what radio Telus think we should be running. Obviously it would also be good to flash the phone in a way that masks the modifications made if we need to return it.

Got bored, poked around. I have a feeling telus will offer the RUU on HTC.com just like other desire providers.

I got mine downloaded and installed yesterday. All is running smooth
I am on Fido and I got an update notification on my HTC Desire (I had 3G on, and Wifi off). I'm downloading the update (OTA_Bravo_Froyo_TELUS_WWE_2.25.661.2-1.29.661.1_R_release_Pf7sjzjrgcmpsve12.zip) as I'm typing this...it's a 90.5MB download...so I switched to Wifi before proceeding with download.
I'll update later how it goes.

[Q] Bootloader, CWM & Rom help

I have managed to root my device after the 10P firmware! FYI, I used Android Kingo Root.
After looking into many posts, forums, etc... I have come to the conclusion that unlocking the bootloader is going to be trickier than any other device I have been successful with. I want to install CM 10.2 and CWM 6+, however, I cannot find solid information on how to unlock the bootloader for this unit. I would have liked to install the latest 4.4.2 from AT&T, but the device was rooted prior and AT&T will not honor the phone for the upgrade. At this point, I feel it would be easier to just install a custom ROM instead of trying to put the AT&T stock back into the unit.
Most of the info I see seems overly tricky and doubtful. I have downloaded FreeGee, but, in version 1.9.23 there isn't an option for unlock or disable security,(I have emailed the devs for the app). I also have gprorecovery.apk, but, I am deathly afraid to use it as I cannot find ANY material about it anywhere and I am worried to brick the one phone I absolutely love.
If someone has the knowledge, please share. Also, feel free to add in your experience and pitfalls with this device after manipulating the software. I am not 100% sold on CM, so if you want to suggest a great ROM...Feel free.
I appreciate the help and suggestions in advance.
No unlocked bootloader for the gpro. Sorry dude.

And then reboot to recovery as normal to install the ROM? I have read so much information that states you have to do some special presses of the buttons to get recovery to load. What are you running on yours?

Once you install recovery press power + volume up (asuming you powered down or resetted your device of course) until the lg logo appears ( some white letters will appear on the top left corner, release power button when they do). That will take you to the recovery. I'm. Using a cwm/twrp combo. I flash everything i need with cwm, twrp i keep since this phone has a tendency of going into a recovery bootloop and only twrp can get you out of it. Always keep your flashing files on the internal storage, sometimes flashing from sd card wont work.

Moto 360 and Xiaomi Mi4

Newbie question: Xiaomi appears to be not compatible with Android Wear. Is there a workaround? Mi4 is on kit kat 4.4.2. I will have to give up one if I dont find a solution.
Will rooting the Xiaomi be a solution if so....can point me to the right place?

I don't know where you brought your mi4,and which rom you're using.
I suggest the Official Developer's ROM,it contains root and can install Google Apps easily.
And then you can install the file attached(checking by yourself,just got it from my /data/app)
use it to install google apps and then update them up to date with play store.
I know there's some 3rd party ROMs for foreign users.you can try them too.
good luck.

OK,i think you need a fastboot flashing package
http://bigota.d.miui.com/4.11.7/cancro_images_4.11.7_4.4_cn_7ad273c4df.tgz
download it and do a backup,
copy your backup and files out of the phone if you don't want lose them.
THIS WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE INCLUDE SD CARD.
and this is v6 with official English locale settings.
PS:in v5,updater is good choice to update to v6.try long pressing the menu button to call menu out.

Hi guys,
same problem with my new mi4 and my moto 360.
I had not had any problem with Xiaomi hongmi Note, but this mi4 is facing this problem.
I am not located in China, so maybe this has something to do with it.

off state charging is not available when you use stock (based) roms with mako bootloader. If you lock BL you'll have it but I couldn't flash miui with locked BL. kernel updating failed. maybe you can first flash then lock your BL. (I think you'll get verification error)
Anyone got problems with the miui download manager?
When the google play store updates itself, "com.android.media" crashes whenever I try to download anything. Disabling the download accelerator does not make any difference. Suggestions?
