For now, and thank you to all who have posted on this,
for now I've just decided to avoid any issue by freezing
with Titanium Backup the "software update" 'app', I don't
need any problems, and still browser, Dolphin I like the red
skin these days, random fact) works fine, mostly everything
seems normal. A few settings I've had saved seem to have been
resetting, nothing huge, all bookmarks remain available for Dolphin,
and I think all of my contacts are still in order.
Still clocked at 1.5, etc etc as has been said above.

The long and short of this...

Use Titanium Backup to freeze "software update" 'app'.
Hope this helps. ^.^

quick question, my android version is 4.0.4, I never did the upgrade myself though, is this the version the phone came with from metro?

I did the update. I really must say my data speed is even faster....
I actually needed to do some test against the iPhone 5 and Galaxy SIII.
The motion was just as fast some and faster in others.... Really Great

There wasn't a .zip file. What I found was posted to the 4x thread in all things root. If you want to see the update, I can upload it again and send you the link.

I tried to update and got this



FYI, wifes Motion is not rooted...updated to software version MS77010d, I am still MS77010c

Martyn-does your wife's phone use about 50 meg more RAM on Metro Browser than your phone with 77010c ?

Notice any differences ?

Thanks.

OK, bottom line. Is this update worth getting? And just what ALL does this update include? What are the pros and cons? I'm looking for a roundup here with all the cards on the table pertaining to this update before I decide to get it.

%$#@ this update..

You're not helping me here. -_-'

 

[Flablitz]

Someone asked if ya have to be uprooted and just for nfo I was rooted and it didn't unroot me or cause problems with my root.

 

[SipDude]

I agree with Kevin here. Can we get a Pro/Con list from some of you out there. It is obvious that the update will chew up a little space on the phone. Don't all updates? LOL

Other than that can we get some pro/con feedback? TIA

My wife has this phone. I just rooted it and blocked the update and future updates. She loves her phone as is, it's working just fine for her. I myself have blocked upgrades on my two bionics.

If flash is important to you, I would block the jellybean upgrade till everything shakes out and you hear others experiences.

This is why none of our phones will never see jellybean.

Speak for yourself. I'd love nothing more than to be able to upgrade to Jelly Bean if at all possible. Unfortunately, the update in question isn't for Android itself, but rather the firmware.

I'm speaking to any whom are interested in blocking an upgrade. I got disagreed with a lot on this subject over on the bionic forum. Some of us want our flash. I understand my opinion is not popular.

As a side note, I've been doing some research and it seems there may be a way to side load flash and make some tweaks to make it work. I wouldn't take that chance until someone verified they successfully installed flash and has it working efficiently.

If any forum has a working flash player for JellyBean, it's xda.

Well if it helps any, I figured out my own way to make flash work on the phone. I don't know about other methods, but installing Adobe Flash by itself doesn't allow the phone to actually display flash, at least on a website.

However, I did manage to enable partial use of it via .swf files loaded separately from a website, such as an attachment in an email. Truth be told, I find myself not sweating the lack of flash capability all that much. Granted, I find it really asinine that Adobe would stubbornly refuse to work with Android to extend their software to all or most of the Android smartphones out today.

Now back on the topic of this firmware update, I actually did download it out of sheer curiosity when I first got the notice. But then I started reading comments about how it makes your phone use up more memory or how it really only adds two apps that I have no interest in. But none of what was said really spoke with confidence about absolutely everything this update includes as well as how it affects performance.

I'm wanting someone who knows all the details about this update. Now I had replaced my phone with another of the same kind due to a recent warranty issue, so now I'm back to the original firmware. Now that I am once again faced with the update, I'm hesitating to install it until I know exactly what to expect with it and if it's worth getting or not.

I don't understand why there isn't an official statement describing the details of the update. It makes no sense.

Can someone tell me if this alters the data directory at all or affects any users settings or apps. Or is this simply altering the system directory, system apps etc?? Any factory reset resetting of any nature??
