Motorola Software Update is a tool that will allow Motorola consumers to update the software on their devices by offering the most up-to-date software available for their carrier market.
Updating your device software will provide your device with the most up-to-date software available for your carrier market. As mobile devices become increasingly useful, they also become more complex. Motorola regularly finds ways to improve software performance, and Motorola Software Update lets you take advantage of those improvements in a convenient way.
Personal data on your device
Personal data includes your phonebook, datebook, multimedia files, messages, screensavers and wallpapers. If required, Motorola Software Update temporarily backs up this data to your PC, automatically restores the data to your device, and then deletes the information from your PC when the update is complete.
Note: During the software update, your personal data is never transmitted to or received by Motorola.
Backup & Restore
Motorola Software Update can preserve your data in two ways: by keeping your data intact during the update; or by backing up the data and restoring it after the update. This process depends on which product that you own. You will know if a backup and restore is required for your device if you see the prompt Save personal information? before the update begins. If you do not see this prompt, Motorola Software Update is able to update your device and leave your data untouched.
Important! Some devices may not support saving of any of your personal data. If you own one of these products, Motorola Software Update gives you several warnings before starting the update. You can cancel the update during those warning messages. If you still want to update your device, you can back up your data manually, and restore it after the update.
Third-party media and applications on your device
Third-party media includes downloaded applications, ringtones, music, pictures, games, videos, and other independently copyrighted material. If this media is DRM-protected, it may or may not be preserved after the update.
Other non-protected media files (music, images, videos, and so on) will be restored after the update is complete. However, the non-protected applications, such as games and other programs, may need to be re-downloaded and installed after the update is complete.
