What OS Should i upgrade to ?

I have updated my frnd's spica from 1.6 to 2.1 a long time ago and i'm thinking of upgrading the android version.Which do you suggest, the
[Rom] [Spica] OMG v1.22.12.10 [Android 2.1] [Stable] [Customization Updated/Adding]
what is the diff betwen this one and one of the official early released eclairs ?
or
FROYO for SPICA (CyanogenMod-6.1.1-Spica-alpha8.3)
Is this Foryo stable and usable ? (my frnd does not know anything about these things)

Better install SpicagenMod- also Froyo, it's still not a final release but it's beeing worked on all the time

I suggest SGM-froyo-BETA1-NextGeneration. It's stable, nice and Silky Smooth

Go to samdroid.net, all downloads are there.
Expect similar bugs/problems as with SpicagenMod (it was used as base)

I have downloaded - SGM-froyo-BETA1_NextGen2.2a from samdroid,but there were no instructions about installation.I tried searching,but none were for this version. Can you post the procedure to update from android 2.1 (i think it is a official samsung early release).

Present Firmware
This is what i have in the spica presently.
FIRMWARE VERSION - 2.1 UPDATE-1
BASEBAND VERSION - I570EXXJD1
kERNEL VERSION - 2.6.29
Root @ SE-S601#2
BUILD NUMBER - ECLAIR.XXJH6
I have downloaded SGM-froyo-BETA1-NextGeneration from samdroid. Can anyone tell me the correct procedure to update the firmware ?

1. Make sure battery is charged
2. Root your phone- tutorial is here (samdroid.net)
3. Put SGM NextGen package on the root of SD card
4. Boot to recovery (vol down+call+end call simultaniously)
5. Choose Install zip from SD option, select SGM Next Gen package, press Home button when asked
6. Sit back and wait

HI
Hi
at the moment I'm running froyo 2.2 rom on my spica and to be honest I am not that impressed. its the samdroid mod, this 1 I think (not sure a guy rooted, etc for me)
SamdroidMod 2.0.1.alpha.8.3 - Froyo [AOSP] for i5700
so my Q is this, can I just put the rom you have supplied on my sd card then boot into recovery apply then hit home when prompted?, Do I have to hit "Wipe cache etc"? as this will be my first time applying a rom myself. Will I lose all my settings & apps etc?
does everything work l;like sound, bluetooth etc, all the important things I mean.
any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated

well,i installed the custom eclair long back on the spica upgrading it from 1.6 using ODIN softwere flasher. I guess if your phone is rooted,i guess you can just put it on ur SD and you have to erase cache and data as these are not upgrades to your version , but completely different versions.
Here is a new one from samdroid as well - http://forum.samdroid.net/f53/cyanogenmod-6-1-1-spica-alpha8-4-a-4716/
You can back up all your stuff with some softwares on the market... - Titanium Backup ★ root - Android app on AppBrain

The best for me is "Ultimate Spicaclair 1.5"

1. CM7 is not ICS. Its a mod of gingerbread. CM9 will be ICS.
2. You can back up your phone with clockwork recovery once you install it.
3. If you unlock your bootloader you always have chance of losing warranty. I did it and had ATT replace my phone no questions asked.
4. GO to dev section and click on the CM7 thread.
I recommend reading a lot!

tnx 4 answer
i read always a lot
one more question ...
if cm7 is not ICS and that version uses ICS framework and interface
what else is missing ? just the kernel ?
tnx

That rom is nothing more than the CM7 Weekly 4, re-themed to look like ICS...it is not ICS and any terms of "functionality"

i read the installation guide for cm7 ...
doesn't it need to unlock the bootloader ?
what's the way to root i have to use ?
i found this Root, Sideload & Tether Your Atrix 4G in the wiki page ... dated 19th February 2011
is that the right one ?
tnx 4 ur support

Try to read this first:

The one you mentioned is obsolete. You really need to read a lot more before you do anything on your phone.

tnx 4 the link
but i can't find nothing on rooting and unlocking the bootloader with froyo 2.2.2
all that stuff r 4 gingerbread

Too aid in unlocking boot loader. A little tech knowledge and know how you can get it done with research and patience.

you are obviously not reading carefully enough. if you're sure the info is written many many times, then go look for it. there is PLENTY of good walkthroughs to take you through the process especially swiftks's. this is not your baby daycare for us to spoonfeed you everything. figure things out yourself. you've already gotten a lot of good links to follow.
general steps (i will not hold your hand):
1. unlock your bootloader with pudding sbf
2. install romracer's recovery with fastboot
3. install the rom of your choice after wiping data/cache/system/preinstall/boot
4. install kernel that you want
5. reboot your phone.
if you can't follow those directions or figure it out from that, then you probably shouldn't be doing this in the first place. all this info is so easy to figure out.

[Q] Help (full official backup + root after)

Hi, ive tested alot of roms etc in the past but its a jungle of stuff to know... so the question is, i want a step by step guide how to do a full backup, so i can restore official (default) rom again... and after that i want to root and get full su privilegies and being able to run linux(backtrack) on my i9505... on older devices i never had problems, but with this one i dont get how to make a full backup.. please tell me step by step what programs i need, i will search for the threads and use the guides there for each step, but first i need to know what i need to complete this task..
1. backup (full)
2. root (full)
3. install backtrack
atm i run official 4.3 rom from samsung..
please close this thread after i got a answer
TY //DrBlaze

What you want is not possible. You can only make backups after you root. It is also not neccesary. Just root, flash do what you want.
If you want to revert to stock, just download the stock rom you are currently on and flash it.

Well. About that i know. But The only release i find for my country "sweden - vds" is modified by a different provider and brings more stock crap then normal... But Well. .If is not possible.. can u atleast till med The steps i asked for in correct steps and what tools u recomend ? I want linux to work.. atm i use stock
EDIT: also, i dont want to do it that way, i have a comfortable setup on my cell atm, the reason for root is Linux and
remove of bloatware... custom roms looks nice, feels nice but always got some issues with the hardware..

why don't you update your kernel from 2.2 to 2.3? And I think 4.1.2rom is not fluency for our defy . if you have the kernel 2.3,you may update to kitcat~
update your phone . you need pay attention to the following list .
1.Use the software named RSD,the file is sbf ,sbf will change your bl,so, you need to know what's your phone bl;
2.you need to now what's your defy's lens,it's red or green;
3.you need a rom which is .zip some rom don't need to think about the kernel but someone discriminate.
o it's the first time I reply in English,if I say something wrong or you can't understand.please forgive it . haha I have a bad English. and I think I need someone to fix my grammer error。and when i speek english I don't know what I said above。。。
