  2. VijayJanuary 13, 2011 at 8:16 PM
    First, select a 2.2 ROM you want to upgrade to. Yes, there are many 2.2 ROMs available on the net. check in http://boston-mania.blogspot.com.
    Some are factory/official ROMs and some are custom ROMs(cyanogen).

    The latest 2.2 factory/OFFICIAL ROM is from foxconn.
    http://uploading.com/files/8bebfc69/F0X-3260-0-0002-A01.rar/
    1. Install SUTLR_v1.7.0. Download links from from my post or
    http://uploading.com/files/7942c5ef/SUTLR_v1.7.0.zip
    2. Put the phone in download mode (Red + vol up + power). 


    Now Connect the phone to PC.
    3. Browse for F0X-3260-0-0002-A01 [ROM] and select in recovery mode "Update Option: Erase user data" afterwards flash it.

    Now your phone has Android Froyo 2.2

    TO get ROOT access, need to install "su" binary:
    1. Install clockworkmod recovery either through fastboot or rommanager. Use version 2.5.1.0.
    http://uploading.com/files/9ef66e9f/clockwork-z71.img/

    Get A688 version V3.5 tools and unpack it.
    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IFO209MS
    On a command prompt, go to the directory of fastboot.exe.

    Connect the phone on fastboot mode (Power + vol down + Red button). Connect phone to PC.
    fastboot flash recovery clockworkmodz71.img
    fastboot reboot

    Wait for 10-15 seconds for phone to reboot.


    2. Download "su: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6408470/su-releases/su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip AND put it into ur memory card (DO NOT PUT INSIDE FOLDER)
    3. Reboot to recovery mode (camera + vol up + power)
    4. select "install zip from sdcard"
    5. select "choose zip from sdcard"
    6. then select "su-2.3.6.1-ef-signed.zip"

    Reboot the phone and Install Rom manager from market. Upgrade the Clockworkmod recovery to 2.5.1.3 from Rom manager.

     Hope this helps

    @Aalok
    I assume,
    1) The upgrade to Android 2.2 completed successfully without any errors on SUT 1.7.0.
    2) you were on Spice firmware 2.1 when you tried to upgrade.

    If any one of the two is NOT TRUE,
    Here is is what you can try.


    You need to go back Spice firmware 2.1. How?
    a) Download the 2.1 update from Spice.
    http://www.spiceglobal.com/document/e90ce024-e0e4-4698-93c7-c13badc57072.zip
    b) extract the firmware from the Spice update tool. You will find the firmware F0X-219M-0-5015-A01.nb0 inside the software update tool directory under "Program files" when you install Spice update tool onto your PC. If the directory is emtpy reinstall setup.exe as it will clean up this directory after every firmware update.

    c) Now put you phone in Download mode(power + red + Volume up).
    d) Connect to PC.
    e) Use SUT 1.7.0 to reinstall Spice 2.1 firmware
    and see if it completes successfully.

    f) Now, if everything is working fine under 2.1, you can try upgrading to 2.2 again. (I have flashed my phone about 25-30 times so far with different ROMs )

    If you still see the touch screen issue, it MAY BE a hardware problem/manufacturing defect which may have surfaced now. Don't worry, you can safely take it to Spice service center for a check/replacement, as it now only contains legal Spice firmware nothing else.

    @vibhor,
    The quadrant results are NOT that great as the CPU speed is limited to 480 MHz. The quardrant result shows that its inbetween SEXperia 10i and HTC desire. It is definetly not upto the phones potential.

    @vibhor,
    The best score for z71 clones so far with quadrant is
    http://boston-mania.blogspot.com/2010/11/boston-rom-22-800mhz-quadrant-pro.html 

    I could not get the CPU to go beyond 480 MHz using any of the cpu tools. I think this is limited inside the kernel under sysfs module (/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq) where the cpuinfo_max_freq & scaling_max_freq is limited to 480000.

    About the battery, I am a heavy user, so I keep charging it. I think may last for a day.

    All in all everything works for the first time.

    Handsfree, ofcourse works fine with this.
