ROM update for non-US MPX-220 phone?

[potxoli]

Hi all,

just got a MPX-220 unlocked off of ebay. It works great, but I do have volume issues. It appears to have been a brand new german phone. Settings->About shows manufacture version 1.150.0.0

I downloaded the 1.43 from motorola.com, but it won't install telling me the phone is up to date. I guess this happens since it is not a US phone. Can I force it somehow? Or is there a german ROM update?

Thanks,

-Eric

Not sure about a German version but I know there were a lot of regional versions floating around out there that people were trying. Hopefully someone here who knows of one will post.

Welcome to the board :)

Thanks for the reply. I did a search for this, but haven't had much luck...

OK, YMMV, read up before you dive in, I'm not responsible for what you do with the info, assorted other disclaimers.

Really, there is tons of good info on the forums here as well as some options for folks like you and me that aren't being supported directly. You'll have to register to download. Maybe all you need is the offline updater under ROM Updates.

I've run some of the Asian ROMS and they are quite interesting in what they provide beyond what you get here (US, Motorola), but they aren't all that stable IMHO. I can play because the MPX isn't my primary phone. What you do is up to you.

wowo thank you! Can't wait to go home and play :) I have another phone handy if I need it

Let us know how you make out! :)

Well I installed the 1.43 generic with the uploader available at the same link. Worked like a charm in terms of install. Not a great deal of visible change, but my BT headset does seem louder as does the phone ringer which were my biggest problems.

So thanks everyone!
