but i don't know if is the firmware, when i do a soft reset android crashes and the marketplace stop working (don't download anything) ..

OMG thanks !!

So a last question , there is a way to root this firmware? .. i just tried with ginger break but it stucks on "rooting, this may take a few minutes" ...

Personally I dont care about root so I have no idea, sorry.
