I bought a w510 or a w5 from a chinese company on ebay, it has like a crappy motorolla firmware on it that seems to be geared for cheaper markets.
It accepts firmware that starts with
R452GL8_G- ....
I just want normal US type firmware that is somewhat available for the W510 usually with the prefix of
R452G_ ....
I am also more than willing to switch to a linux firmware if it is good, I am having trouble finding firmware files for my phone, many other phones seem more popular than mine....
I am using RSD lite 4.6 or so to flash firmware files to my phone
