I think the updates is broken. I am not able to extract the .nb0 file from the rar file as it seems to be corrupt.
hey avinash u can install the cherry mobile update for the spice mi410 i,e the 2.3.3 version ; that is available on androidos.in or u can search igyan.in for the update as well !
this is not complete update, as it says start extracting from previous file,
they might have uploaded the half file as all other gingerbread updates (for Huawei X6 or Magnum HD) are more than 150 mb in size …
The file is broken. Unrar command line output says “You need to start extraction from previous volume.”
file is corrupt! Where can we find the official working file?
full update available now on same link….. 143.30mb …… finally they did it …… just click on same page and same link …..
broken link…
🙁
Magnum HD update is not official update. and not for mi-410 that update is not good, and mobile will show cherry mobile , this is official update….from Spice Mobile…
Just in case you have problem downloading from the mentioned link, try http://www.spiceglobal.com/download/628d4ad7-4c46-45d7-8eb0-4dde07ad066c.rar
the link is dead. we will have to wait another few more day before we can get it in your device. for those who have installed please let us know…. the result with a video . please.
Funny how they cannot even get a simple weblink right!
Its now giving a .net error!
I downloaded the 143mb file in the morning but it was blank!
Boken link: out of memory exception
Download is getting interrupted after 3.5 MB. Please fix this issue.
I have now bricked my phone..Its a disaster…Spice has always proven to be a non-reliable product.. [ Brick : Due to failed software upgrade attempt , the phone can only be used as a self defence device ]..
@android_help is it due to this update by spice? Did you download the whole file? What went wrong?
@Innocuous : Sure thing, downloaded the whole thing.. Followed step by step.. Anyways no other ROM works on the phone to try.. Let me see I will try it again tonight.. Spice Dealers in B’lore themselves suggest that these phone dont have return value and its difficult to sale these phones…
Will try again keep you guys posted.
I was interested in buying this phone, but after going through some of the comments I will have to rethink on my options.
It’s better to update to Andro-ID v3.3-RC2 ROM for Spice MI 410, you can download it at http://www.andro-id.net, We use it in this phone. You also can get help from them to.
friends i can help you out i have downloaded and installed it. if you need to see the video how i did look in to the site. its much better. peopel they have used the blueberry mobile sw. they are trying to fool us.
but is having spice logo at startup. so they made some changes.
SPICE people are fools. THEY HAVE NOT TOLD 1 important thing.
WHEN YOU EXTRACT YOU NED TO RENAME IT
YOU FOOL SPICE PEOPLE ARE YOU MAD AH?

@john actually the phone is pretty good for the price range. Only problem is that being a spice branded phone, its not popular.
