Seems You have a Dell XCD 28 to play with. Good now I can look over your site for everything on my phone.
Can you tell me how to upgrade the phone to better versions of android. Which would be suitable and how to do it?
By now you may have flashed a custom recovery on your device. So, just go ahead and flash a custom ROM on your device that’s based on a newer version of Android than your current firmware. It should help you get new features on your device that weren’t present in the older firmwares.
Thanks!
I am in lot of trouble.
First, My Dell XCD 28 is not booting in recovery mode(Dell Logo shows constantly/Hangs up).
Secondly, I cannot even factory reset the phone because all it shows is Dell Logo and hangs up.
Lastly, when I go to settings>about phone; The Firmware version button is not “clickable”. Inside it is written “2.1-update1″/
So you see, my phone has become shit.
Even the market has gone back to old version and I am using an old version of Watsapp that installed after many attempts.
What do I do?
