I have had quite a bit of bad luck with Motorola, but I'm also thinking about going back to them for my next phone since they will probably have the best Android support and development now that Google bought them.

Yeah its true ...I just bought a galaxy nexus and have rarely gone away from Motorola and LG since I first had an LG VX 8600 ( flip phone from early 2000s) I have had the first Motorola droid a855 the Motorola droid x which is now doomed on 2.3.2 and my brother had the droid 3 from last year when it released to about April but the screen LCD cracked from one incident where he dropped it

Just because google owns them doesn't mean that they will be guaranteed android support. Motorola mobility (the part of motorola that google purchased, is still operating on their own.) Google pretty much bought em to keep them from going under.

someone with rooting and flashing rom experience can you pm me. i wanna try cyanogenmod9 for my spectrum but im a total noob...i rooted my phone but did nothing...and i forgot to backup my stock os ...(probably easy for someone to post a backup version but still ) i would like to try it but i dont want to brick my phone on the first try.

 

[real0325]

There is a v6 stock rooted floating around, u have to search "spectrum general" and "spectrum all things root".

It's best to do a backup BEFORE you try to flash a new rom. No need to get a backup from someone else.

so you are saying i should back up now since i already rooted before i do any flashing..the problem is i have no experience trying to flash at all ...and i dont have a backup phone if i brick this...

There is not a CM9 for the Spectrum, I strongly suggest you only try flashing the Broken Out or Black Plague based roms posted here in the forums.

If you have cwm installed, then it can't hurt to do a backup. But I generally do a backup whenever I flash a new rom on any device... Mainly because if I don't like the new one, I can just restore the old one.

You won't brick your phone, unless you flash a bad build, which is generally only possible if your developing one yourself. But as someone else said, there is no cm9 released for this phone... If you're going to compile it yourself, I'd caution you not to if you're a novice... This phone has no safety net if your compiled rom isn't done right, unlike other phones.

Seriously. There are no ICS roms.

Hello,

I am a time lord from the year 5150. I have just received the ICS update. To get it, I had to travel back through the time vortex to the year 2012 and replace all Verizon employee with surrogates who gave a damn about their customers.

I'd rather a Dalek army be sent in the Verizon offices.

What would a person from 5150 be doing with a cell phone? Archeology work? And on the Earth?:ridinghorse:

 

[TheBigKahuna]

A lot of signs are pointing to this phone being dead, and no ICS ever.

 

[Neph81]

I highly doubt that. We can all see the file sitting on the server and they've been running the build for over 3 months now. The signs I'm seeing is that they are releasing ICS in order of phone release. It seems like a shitty way to do it, but then again, other people have been stuck on GB longer then we have. Also, would you really want to work in a call center if 10+ phones all got upgraded the same week? You'd have mass walk outs from the tech staff.

 

[death2all110]

Looks like it went up one build number for a while it was 14 its now 15

[Neph81]

It's been at 15 since late July. I've been checking the link daily in hopes it goes live at some point.

 

[ghavas09]

I know that I thought there was but I didn't know and I didn't know how to flash and rom until the other day ..don't be a duesch about it...I have said repeatedly I have very little experience in rooting and modding phones my next task is to root an old Droid x for my brother if anyone knows the easy root methods for that please pm me or reply to this post I would really appreciate the help

 

[death2all110]

Why don't you check the droid x forums??? You'd get more help over there.... Just saying....

 

[MrB206]

the DX has EXTREME love from the devs... it's usually the first device to get development for non-LTE phones and all the D2 and related phones are ported off DX roms. Lots of goodies to choose from, too.

where would that place the Spectrum in terms of it's place in the FIFO queue? is it near the front now? how many more phones were introduced before the Spectrum that haven't received ICS?

 

[death2all110]

Oh theres a whole list.... Thunderbolt, Rezound, Droid Razr, Droid Bionic, the list goes on..... though a few of those have official updates now. and by official i mean like officially released. not leaks.

 

[TheBigKahuna]

I highly doubt that.

Just stirring the pot out of boredom last night!

True, but even it didnt have CM7 until it was almost a year old

The thunderbolt is running off of a leak.
