[UPDATE] Gingerbread for Motorola XPRT

**NoNameAtAll** · 07-02-2012, 03:35 PM

Reposted from XDA:

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

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** · 07-11-2012, 12:33 AM

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

**sgirard1991** · 07-13-2012, 07:44 AM

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** · 07-13-2012, 07:55 AM

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

**sgirard1991** · 07-17-2012, 08:45 AM

**Hdude123** · 07-18-2012, 11:22 AM

Has anyone's phone bricked?

**Igotu2** · 07-18-2012, 12:47 PM

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** · 07-18-2012, 01:38 PM

Thanks, I wanted to be sure.

**Hdude123** · 07-20-2012, 11:23 AM

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** · 07-26-2012, 02:34 PM

Have u tried re-flashing the original stock rom?

Sent from my MB612

**lord dredd** · 07-27-2012, 03:40 AM

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** · 07-30-2012, 03:13 PM

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** · 08-01-2012, 03:27 AM

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.

**barnboyjohn** · 08-01-2012, 09:18 PM

Mine says it is missing a recovery file and a caller file? Anyone have a copy they can shoot me?

**semilucid** · 08-03-2012, 02:01 PM

worked like a champ....thanks

**andy_snake** · 08-05-2012, 10:35 PM

Hi Thanks for the Update, now my XPRT is running on GB and the interface is sleek.

at first when i applied the update.zip from the stock recovery.
it dint apply and resulted in error msg, when i tried rebooting phone after the failed update, the "connecting network" looping screen would show.

it was due to my phone was rooted.

so it is important to have the xprt in stock factory settings
also can have CWM recovery (optional)

i installed the stock rom for my motorola XPRT (Sprint)
notice that it ll work only for Sprint

I downloaded the sbf from here and followed the steps.. Many Thanks to the guys for it.

really , urgently need your help .. XPRT owners

(it is important to have all motorola drivers installed in ur pc b4 doing this)

After installing the default stock ROM,
u can proceed with the same steps as in first post .. it works like a charm
the update.zip installs using the Stock recovery of the ROM

*It is awesome, Finally that irritating Sprint Network search no longer comes when starting
the phone.
*The GPRS is now working fine, it is not disconnecting frequently as before.
*All default Apps working fine
*Interface is smooth and slick
*Auto Rotate is pretty cool.

*only the thing is Sprint apps are still there, but they are tamed.

However they can be removed by rooting the phone and with titanium backup.

glad to help ya all.

Okay I can't figure out how to do this. I followed the directions and I'm trying to install it but it says that it can't install because "such a directory does not exist". Any help? I even unrooted my phone.

Edit: I got the stock rom, but how do I install it?

Edit2: Okay turns out I had to move the update to the root of the sd card. But I'm still getting an error when it starts to install. Will I have to do a factory reset to get it to work?

**gjw77** · 08-07-2012, 12:21 PM

I would suggest just waiting a few more weeks for Gingerbread on the XPRT.

I heard the beta testers got it a few weeks ago. I would venture a guess that it shouldnt be too much longer before the general public gets it.
