A few observations with difficulties updating M1 C1 (CDMA version)

[shansen33]

Hi

I have run into some significant issues in getting Miuiandroid updates to work on the M1 C1 (CDMA) that I just purchased. Here are a few observations:

1. The stock Miuiandroid update for the C1 will not work on this phone in its current format. I tried many times to update from 2.3.5v to the latest ICS ROM (2.5.11).

2. I finally got the update to work by modifying the script file contained at META-INFO/com/google/android/updater-script.

Specifically, in the first line of code, I had to make the following changes:

1. getprop("ro.product.device") == "mione_plus" TO getprop("ro.product.device") == "mione_plus_cdma"

AND

2. getprop("ro.build.product") == "mione_plus" TO getprop("ro.product.device") == "mione_plus_cdma"

Then had to wipe data / cache / update partitions and it worked from running updater within the 2.3.5v ROM to install.

Subsequently, the latest ROM (2.5.11 ICS) was on System 2 and 2.3.5v (GB) remains on System 1.

I tried to run a subsequent update of System 2 to 2.5.18 (ICS) and found that it only worked following the revisions to the script outlined above, and the update would only work for some reason from 2.3.5v (GB) on System 1).

I have not been able to update System 1 to ICS under any scenario.

Have you find any solutions ?

The steps I have listed above were the solution that I found.

Whilst I was not able to update System 1 to ICS, it is running on System 2 and works perfectly.

So you have a mi-one plus that's running both 2.3.x and 2.5.x at the same time ?
That is interesting since a couple of people were sure that this was not possible !

Hello, i have find the solution with miui-france.
Use fastboot.
I have ICS on each boot (1 and 2).

ICS on both boots should not be an issue
However ; we do have a couple of people telling that it should be impossible to run ICS and GB together...
It seems as some people have done it...

Does anyone know how to get dualboot ICS and GB on the regular Mi-One?

Even if it's on the phone ; will it work ?

I've done the ics upgrade last weekend and it ran nicely.
Until i booted the other system ( supposedly the GB system ) ...
It got stuck at boot and the ICS system was stuck...

Redid the upgrade to ics and got that working again...
So even with GB present on one of the systems , will it work ?
