[UPDATE] Gingerbread for Motorola XPRT

[NoNameAtAll]

Reposted from XDA:

Gentlemen, I present to you Gingerbread for the XPRT. I used the cheesecake method to obtain this:

update.zip

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE, I TAKE NO LIABILITY FOR IT. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Steps to get it:

1. YOU MUST HAVE STOCK RECOVERY. That means everything on the phone has to be stock. logwrapper included. Anyway, put the file on your SD Card

2. Turn off phone

3. Before powering on, hold down the R and M keys.

4. Power on the phone while still holding those keys down.

5. When the little Android with the ! shows up, press @.

6. Go to apply update.zip from SD Card

7. Wait.

8. When it's done, you'll have Gingerbread

Again, I'm not liable for anything that might happen to your phone. Also, keep in mind, it may not be possible to downgrade.

Worked great for me

 

[foxiifaceee]

it worked for me!...only had my phone on for like two minutes...so fingers crossed

When u say "everything has to be stock", does that also mean i cannot be rooted?

And hows this working for everyone? Any bugs or problems??

 

[sgirard1991]

Also i have custom boot animations. Will that be an issue? Or do u just mean stock recovery and rom?

Worked for me, AND SEEMED to take care of the rebooting too, and the error sprint/no sim card error! Wi;ll keep me fingers crossed though!

 

[sgirard1991]

Will it work for me seeing as how i have custom boot animations and im rooted??

 

[Hdude123]

Has anyone's phone bricked?

 

[Igotu2]

No mine did not. it did take care of the rebooting for no reason and the no sim card error.
Really working quite well for me.

 

[Hdude123]

Thanks, I wanted to be sure.

This is amazing, many problems i had were fixed. The stock camera and camcorder apps werent working before the update, camera wouldnt save pics and camcorder would crash. Youtube videos wouldnt play unless i hanged the quality while they were loading and now i can play both qualities without changing to even start the video.

if mobile has a problem not being able to boot even it was Factory-reset.. do you think this update will help?

I deleted by mistake the Framware.jar file from the internal memory , and my mobile froze after that, and I had to reboot, factory reset.,, and failed to have it working again..
I tried many update.zip files but all of them failed because of a (file signature) problem..

Can you please help me?

 

[sgirard1991]

Have u tried re-flashing the original stock rom?

[lord dredd]

i tried this update.zip , but it didnt flash despite following proper procedure.
i am now waiting for official GB update ,

but i have a question.

I am outside US atm and i am out for quite long ,
OTA are possible via wifi ( i am on a local GSM network ),
but : the question is will after doing the update , my phone will go back into sprint activation bootloop ??

 

[mazengsa]

I dont have the stock ROM.. can any one here give me a link for it.. with some instruction how to install it on -Un-bootable XPRT??

 

[jose1978]

Ha it worked for me. It is running so much better. Layout is somewhat the same, but a little sleeker. And why in the world would anyone downgrade to froyo. Im staying with GB. Just wishing there are custom roms for the xprt. that would be so dope.
