There is no official update for 2.3, and probably never will be.

With that said, I recommend upgrading to cm7 which is based off 2.3 only better. Just make sure you READ one of the guides, depending on which version you decide to install. It's not as hard as it may seem at first, once you understand what you're doing.

how many here have tired MyBackup and compared it titanium backup
I'm using my backup free right now and I kind of like it better than titanium because of its simplicity.
I just would like to no what others think

P.S. thank you PlayfulGod for the updated cm7.2.2.3.5 installed it this morning.
I just figured out that my backup works great at backing up and restoring the only problem I found is after a program has been restored there is a 99% chance that it won't work all you will get is a FC screen thank god I backed up using both titanium Backup and MyBackup
 
Just got a text (message#5558) from CRICKET instructing me to dial *228 for an important update.
Anyone else get this &/or know what this is about?
I'm a bit leery of doing this,I don't need any issues w/my phone,as the latest CM7.2 ROM is working quite well on my phone.
Any response is welcome,including a PM.
Thank you.
 
The IMPORTANT UPDATE mentioned in the text (#5558) I received from CRICKET was all on their end,nothing to do w/the ASCEND or it's ANDROID operating system.
Carry on..................
 
did anyone else notice what they did they updated there program and made sure anyone using CM7 or CM6 with the ascend at least can't get the update and if you don't already have Netflix installed you won't be able to the manufactures must be giving Netflix a lot of money to make sure they don't release there program to the owners of the cheap smartphone':mad:s.

thats the case with any custom ROM. On stock they are build.prop settings and/or files that allow updating from the carrier.

IMO tho why anyone would want to go back to stock after running a custom rom is beyond me lol

And far as netflix you can always download it from other sources and install it ;)

I honestly think the only update Cricket is getting is the new phone, Huawei Ascend 2.

B-I-N-G-O...B-I-N-G-O......B-I-N-G-O.......& FROYO WAS IT'S NAME-O!


It's been out, in two different flavors for METRO.
Looks like the ASCEND II is the only upgrade CRICKET owners will officially get,meaning,no upgrade on the ORIGINAL ASCEND.(They never officially promised it to begin with,not in any official releases).

Let's retire this thread, it's more than served its purpose.
 
I did the update, but my phone won't turn all the way on now. It just stays on the Huawei screen and freezes there. Is there anything I can do without taking it to the store? (The people they hire are horrible...)

reverting back to stock, ok power down the phone and download and extract this to your desktop MetroStockRecovery-SCRIPTS.zip after you done that press and hold vol down, end key and tap power, your phone should be on the white huawei screen and it should stay there plug your phone to the computer via usb cable, now open the folder that you extracted and run both of these file, first run fastboot-windows you will see a black box come and leave quick, next run metroPCSStock-windows.bat than another black box will pop up and it will do its thing, once it finishes the phone will automatic reboot itself.

hopefully you made a backup before you did and is this a custom rom or the 2.2.2 update from metro if it is a custom rom just pull the battery than reboot the phone into recovery and restore the backup you should have made before updating the phone if not a custom rom do as nutmeg says

Okay, I did this, but now it freezes at the Android screen. I also can't really turn it off becuase it turns right back on when i do. And I did do a backup before I started, btw.
 
I have a Huawei M-860 through Metro PCS which I just upgraded to 2.2.2 I got a google music invite (cool) but when I try to download the app through the Android Market, I am getting a message saying my phone is not compatible. I contacted the Music Beta Team is the answer I recieved was that the app needs 2.2 and above with OpenGL2.0. I am really a novice when it comes to this. Any idea what the OpenGL2.0 is and how/if I can get this on my phone? Thanks in advance

OpenGL helps process the graphics. Might just to find it from another source and sideload it.
