Hi All,
My phone originally had the orange ICS firmware installed, I then unlocked the bootloader and rooted and installed Retail British ICS. I would now like to try jelly bean on orange and it has not come out in Retail british. I tried to install the original firmware from this site (http://sbf.droid-developers.org/smi/list.php) and I keep getting an error in part 3 (installing moto boot) and the installation is aborted. If I copy the motoboot from the retail british to the orange firmware the installation runs fully. Is there any reason i cant use the retail british in the orange firmawre??
Thanks

Hello everyone! Need help to unbrick my Moto
My scenario: I got UK model JB 4.1.2 with locked bootloader. I was trying to flash official Brazilian JB and RSD failed ( I know my bad). So got all drivers, RSD Lite 6.1.5 and so far I was trying UK Retail JB, UK Orange, EU Retail all these failed, I've removed 2 lines from xml file mentioned by somebody on xda but no luck, also I've been on Motorola site to unlock bootloader but my device is not supported after verification (weird). I can restart to bootloader screen, any other option like "factory" or "recovery" gives me a red moto logo only.
Please see pictures for more details, any suggestions?
Solved! I've used mfastboot commands to erase cache and user data and I'm back to fresh UK retail JB
i think it failed because you need unlocked bootloader for flash official Brazilian JB rom in a UK phone
if you have a UK phone, you need unlocked bootloader for Brazil rom ( can be OTA to kitkat)
if you have a Latin American you don't need unlocked bootloader, can be a locked bootloader
the ROM and the phone need be the same region if the bootloader are locked.
That's right ManoBros, it was good lesson for me with a little bit of panic and happy end. I'm big fan of Android smartphones and changing my phones very often but always back to RAZR I, in this case I will wait for official UK kitkat.
Hi Guys
Quite a newbie here.
Wanted to know if I can switch from my current being XT1052_O2-DE_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26 to XT1052_RETAIL-GB_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26 ?
Reason being is I'm thinking the retail will receive the very soon over the air update to lollipop faster and I'm not in Germany at all. In South Africa and over to England a lot.
Everything works so theres no issue. The O2-DE is my current rom loaded with the stock bootloader unlocked and TWRP 2.8.3.0 recovery.
I was planning to unzip the O2-DE and mfastboot flash the stock recovery back to receive OTAs again, but the I saw the RETAIL-GB and wondered if I can, while my stock rom is newly flashed, switch.
Saw the two roms on file factory (can't post URLs)
P.S. I THINK my current rom is the O2-DE one because Elixir tells me "Id: KXA21.12-L1.26" and "Product: ghost_o2de" and obviously "Version: 4.4.4"
Thanks and appreciation in advance.
Just checked and Elixir also says "Version incremental: 18"
Hey guys!
So I have this Galaxy mini GT-I6500D locked to T-mobile Croatia. The phone is stuck in bootloop because my friend tried to install a custom rom and he messed something up. I want to try and install stock samsung firmware but i cant find Croatian T-mobile compatible software. I tried Sammobile but when I tried to download the firmware it just says error 404 file not found.
Now I am wondering what would happen if i install regular I6500D software (not croatia t-mobile) and also if i wanted to install a custom rom can i install any I6500D rom.
Thanks in advance!
I have a Hongkong version H8296, and the phone is not boot unlocked.
I downloaded a France oreo 11.51 firmware from xpericheck.com and flashed my phone using newflasher.
The phone can work, but has two issues:
1. the oem unlocking option is grayed, but this option is enabled in my original Hongkong firmware;
2. I tried to get update to Pie by OTA, the firmware is downloaded, and installation is started, but failed at the end of first stage (there are 3 stages)
No further information was showed for this error.
Is this normal or are there some issues in the downloaded firmware?
Thank you very much.
I just got the phone today and already love it, the green colour is beautiful.
Now I wanted to flash this phone with the Customized UK firmware, but the only version I can find is 58.1.A.5.55
The problem is the current firmware available to the customized HK is 58.1.A.3.87
Correct me if I am wrong but this phone does not allow you to downgrade your firmware so If I flashed this higher firmware and messed it up, I could not flash the stock HK firmware it came with.
So where can I get the UK version of 58.1.A.3.87 ??
XperiFirm only provides the latest firmware so that program is out.
I also know I could just wait for the HK version to get the update... but god knows when that will be.
