Please post any info on Motorola Fire XT (XT530) in this thread.

There is very little information available on this device and there is no forum support also. Please share your experiences on using this device and also about possibilities for rooting, custom ROM, etc.

I have upgraded the software of my XT530 device to the version 2.3.5 via the motorola software upgrade tool available at www.motorola.com/update

I currently don't see any improvements including bug fixes or feature changes for this upgrade. If anyone has more info on this, please share.

Vote here for the Fire Xt530 so that we get the attention of developers as this is a very good phone but with very poor software from Motorola !

Hey guys,

I am planning to buy this model but I need a strong push I guess Could you tell me how long does the battery last before O.S update. (In other forums some people said 12 hrs with 2G only which is awful, I wonder if it is as that bad actually).

Moreover, I am planing to buy it from ebay which claims it is unlocked, but it is not clear if the phone is factory or seller unlocked. I mean if I update the O.S of unlocked phone is it gonna be locked to a specific carrier again. What about rooting? Is it matter for rooting as well?

Thanks

ersinism,

Before 2.3.5 update, I used to get battery backup for more than 24h with lot of Edge/WiFi access and some games.
Now I am able to stretch it for 2 days and the overall response has also improved.

ROM

You guys think is reasonable to expect a CUstom ROM for XT530?

I really want to overclock my phone to 1Ghz. Is that possible without a custom ROM?

Hi... I believe I also encountered this same problem.. I installed the software upgrade tool when my phone is connected to my PC via USB. So it didnt prompt me to upgrade the software, it went automatically to FTM mode.

During process I disconnected the cable and pressed power+volume up buttons to make my device up. Then its fine. Also have done a factory reset just to make sure any cache might have dumped my internal storage (Just for safety) ...
