Mine has shipped but not yet arrived.Should I upgrade the firmware to 1.7 right away? Is there a description of fixes and enchantments anywhere?I'm new to Android so I don't know of any online sources for info.

I agree.

The M003 that I received today (broken!) shows the system already has 1.7.2 installed.

Mine does have it installed already as wellEDIT:Woops no it doesn't. I have 1.7.1. I'm not planning on updating because it will mess up the autorotate.

Well mine is Android ver 1.6 SDK ver 1.7.1. So is this update to the os or the sdk

 

[korun]

Im about ready to sell mine but i seen the rom update that is supposed to fix a lot of the slowness. If it works then i will keep it and inform you what the outcome is since we have the same model. If it doesnt work, then... i guess i keep it cause its probably screwed up and cant be sold.... lol. I will let ya know once i do the rom update.

 

[mogrith]

Thanks. is this a OS update a kernal update or an sdk update. On Boot I see 3 different numbers. SDK is 1.7.1

Mine (got it today, via Dealextreme) says it has 1.7.2. Can't say if it is faster than 1.7.1 but I have a problem with the autorotate that doesn't work. I had to deactivate the option and change the orientation manually. Which is not a big deal, since there's an icon in the tray for that...

Can someone explain in details the upgrade process? People say copy the file to SD card and power up the unit, any specific direcotry?

 

[Zerodime]

The file you downloaded should have a "script" directory. Copy that to your SDCard in no other directory) put it in your Eken and boot up. Should show the android for a second then say something like "Andrid upgrade will start in in x seconds" where x is a number from 10 to 0

 

[ariesaveliev]

I just did that - copied the script directory to my SD card and powered up the M003 unit. NOTHING happened - it started normally the same it always does and the SDK is still 1.7.1, maybe I should copy all the files from the script directory to the SD root direcotry? Please advice...

 

[desmo]

so it worked for me, but then after that flash and upgrade of various file.bin and the kernel is not 'able to upload the files because I had not mounted the sd.

 

[ariesaveliev]

So how does this upgrade works ???

 

[desmo]

I did so but I do not understand why my not updated since at some point not read from sd, but it seems strange given that initially can read binary and load the kernel ... I took pictures to see where my stops:write sd:http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/8933/immaginepl.pnginsert sd and on:http://img189.imageshack.us/img189/678/img3611ql.jpgupgrade binary adn kernel:http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/3286/img3617df.jpglolhttp://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1272/img3618h.jpgfinite time goes by the update

My M003 from DX with 1.7.2 auto rotates fine. Try tilting the screen at a slight angle towards you and it should work fine.

 

[Uruku]

I think you need a small capacity micro-SD (max 2GB) to upgrade it. (sorry for my english)

 

[Zerodime]

not necessary, a good working 8GB card should work too. (at least on my device)

 

[mogrith]

Upgrade was simple/l the M003.zip unzip to sd card.Turn off M003 insert SD cardTurn On M003Note remove the script folder from the SD card after update is done or you will reflash again .

 

[mogrith]

Not a whole lot of changes but I think it is better.Gets rid on No Service message on screensaver status. Says Android instead. Can Lock the pad use gesture to unlock.Did loose auto rotate but I found it unreliable in 1.71 anyway.
