Can I update an unlocked phone?

officeguru

Hi All,

I really appreciated all your advice over my motorola Defy phone getting unlocked by T-mobile, which I've now got with Ovivo.

I see that there is an update available for the phone and I am not sure whether to update it as I don't know if that would affect the phone being unlocked.

Thanks in advance

Can't see why it would if its just an update to the phone's OS.

You should be able to but it will be the T-Mobile branded upgrade not a stock unbranded one.

It won't re-lock it but branded firmware can be annoying if your no longer on the same network and it offer functions you can no longer use.

I own a motorola Defy, and my defy is curretnly running android Jellybean
( version 4.1.2 )
Updating the phone may sound like a daunting process, but its worth it. As in the case of the defy its like having a new faster more responsive phone, as well as increasing the phones lifespan somewhat and saving you money in the process ( no upgrade fee drop to a cheaper sim only contract )

what version of android os your Defy currently running?

Hi Richard

I just updated it today.. It always said there were no updates available, but when I went onto the Motorola site there was. The most obvious difference is the Motorola symbol at the start... It is now red... when I saw it, I thought it meant the phone was kaput :eek:

I'm not sure which numbers you want:

System version: 34.177.3
Firmware version: 2.2.2

I connected it again to motorola in case it updated one step at a time but that is it fully updated now.

Cheers
