Help Upgrading my 1.5 Spica to 2.1 (Canada Rogers)

[marc_8484]

Hi guys,

Been reading the forums, but I am fairly new to Android and want to upgrade to 2.1 version.

I see many of you displaying your version specs, but none seem to have the one I have, I bought the phone a few days ago so it's still on the original version straight out from Rogers.

here are my specs;

Model number: GT-I5700R
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: I5700UXJA8
Kernel version: 2.6.27 root@sep-51 )
Build number: CUPCAKE.UXJA8

I tried updating via the NPS 1.5, but got an error message stating the install wasn't working correctly.

What version of firmware or files do I need to actually get this phone running on 2.1 ?

Thanks for your help.

I had a Rogers Spica with the same firmware as you. See this post and for that matter read through the whole thread.

I used I570EXXJD4 -- much more stable for me

I updated my Spica 1.5 to 2.1 earlier this morning with JD4. It's working better than ever, and I do admit, it's much smoother than previous version to scroll around the menus.

Thanks again for the tips and the guides made available to all you Spica experts!

Cheers, and keep up the great work.
