Official Firmware
Motorola distributes several variants of firmware for the A780 specialized for various regions, feature sets, etc.
Getting your software version
- Go to the dialing screen.
- Enter 'www008w'. Procedure to enter a "w" on the dialing screen:
- Power the phone on.
- With stylus go to the telephone dialing screen.
- Select the menu button (bottom left).
- Select "Insert".
- Select Insert Wait.
- A "W" is displayed on the dialing field.
- A screen opens up and shows you something like:
R52_G_0D.43.A3P
BP: R52_G_0D.32.B1P
BPFlex: GSOA780T673AS019
DSP: 62252500
Technology: Quad-Band GSM
- This screen may go away too quickly to write everything down, but you can re-gain it easily by appending some digit to the "www008w" and then erasing the extra digit.
