[Q] need the MR1 sbf - Motorola Photon 4G

hi
since the MR5 OTA update i encounter problems and i want to go back to stock
MR1.
where can i download it?
can any1 give me link to download?
if my device is updated to MR5 is it safe to flash with rsdlite the MR1?

There was never a MR1 SBF posted anywhere AFAIK.

ok
so...can it be ported the sbf from stock phone?

Have you tried ##786# and click on factory default reset but you have to know your msl #. Hoping that it restores back to stock version.

did you know what you'v just sayd?
firmware cannot reset itself to the basic if upgraded it factory reset cannot be
helpfull here...try'd it 3 times and guess waht?

OK i'v done it flashed the phone back to MR3 with RSDLITE i almost peed in
my pants when the phone started and stuck'd on the "NOW" after the reboot.
the phone flash'd but again having "wifi error"
but the most odd thingy is when activating the phone with the Sprint zone
app the phone i was able to use wifi and after activating it the phone rebooted
its self and the wifi issue came...its something to do with this ****ty app.

If Sprint Zone is the problem then you can remove it.
I recommend you flash back to CM5, then you can install Alien ROM which does not include that bloatware. You can install it either by unlocking and using CWM Recovery or by following the instructions to setup the bootstrap recovery. Either will do the trick and you'd be happy with the result. Just my 2 cents.

i want to stay with the stock rom a little while
which carrier are you using?
and how i remove this ridiculous app?

People have told you this several times bro, you have to be ROOTED to remove any bloatware (stock apps). rooting your phone gives you administrator rights.
Root your phone, download esfile explorer, go to settings in esfileexplorer and click on the root settings, and mount settings, make sure both boxes are checked. Now go to where the file is located and long press the file and select delete. If you need to reinstall it later for some reason there are a ton of downloads for it around, so no real need to back it up. I keep a copy on my SD card all the time.
Good Luck

the strange thingy is that after flashing the phone want's to be activated first
the wifi works but after activating it the wifi wont respond anymore
if i dont use Sprint's network at all why the phone needs to be registered?
thats sooo oddddddd!

You realize you are not at the stock ROM? You are using MR3, which was a testing build and never released OTA or included stock with the phone. Thats why Yay4Juggs quickly replaced it with the final CM5 build once it was available.

i used the 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf.gz right after i saw that i had wifi error.
i flash'd it 3 times but no luck at all.
thought to roll back to the stock MR1 but i dont see it anyware with this
stock (MR1) i havent got any problems at all i upgraded to MR5 via the OTA
and having troubles since than.
the file i just mentiond is from Yay4Juggs thread.

This is the third question that you have turned onto thread in the development section!

Girlfriends Fascinate just decided to randomly stop doing anything except showing lights on soft keys after rooting and lag fix. Decided if I've got to restore should try this. First flash I got stuck at a similar issue after VZW logo. Wiped data and cache and was able to boot but entered in to FC hell. Working on flashing back to stock Odin posted in other thread as we speak.
Update: realized I had only wiped data and not cache as well. after doing that was able to flash back to stock, trying this once more.
Update 2: No go, still FCing like crazy. Flashing back to stock.

I had the same issue. Install stock and then Angels. Wipe cache only and it should work. If you cant activate Google do a reset in settings and all is fine.
I'm sorry, but that's exactly what I experienced rooting and running the lag fix on a Vibrant. There is something flawed with the lag fix. I don't know what it is, but this is the 4th experience I've read about that's the exact same as mine.
Could Samsung change the file system with an OTA update? Is that even possible?

ED03 Root Issue

My brother just got a replacement phone and updated to ED03. I am trying to get him rooted so he can Tibackup his apps and data from his old FC.
Problem I'm having is the FascinateRoot_v02.zip is continuing to come back with errors. After the phone reboots the file can't seem to copy the su and busybox files to the phone.
Any ideas?
TIA

Odin this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/06al8prkgj29gps/cwm-recovery-ALL-3-30-FIX.tar and then immediately boot straight into recovery via the 3 finger method and then flash this: http://www.mediafire.com/?38vozx7n37u02a5 After flashing this open up titanium backup and it will probably tell you it could not obtain root but simply hit the problems buttons and download busybox and boom, you're rooted,
Just went out to have a smoke after failing the root and ya responded already, much thanks.

No problem, if you do it exactly as per my instructions it will give you root for sure. No errors or none of that garbage. The only problem that could happen is if you get a bad or corrupt download of the linked files.
I got a question ever since I rooted ED03 I have been having problems with first no 3g connection then not being able to send or receive texts. I had to go back to stock twice and wanted to know if the version of clockwork could cause the problem I was using i think 2.5 the red one. Will version 3 maybe work better? Or do you think my problem is unrelated to rooting/clockwork?

Completely unrelated. Try dialing *228, option 1, then option 2. Should help. If not, it could be a number of things, especially with the way Verizon's 3g has been for a lot of people lately. The fix for the 3g loss is either have them do a reset on your data, or, through their website, suspend the service on your phone, then re-enable it, it will reset the line, and usually fixes data issues.

Stuck in bootloop after trying to flash eclipse 0.3

I couldnt post this there, so im posting it here
I've flashed 2 other versions of this rom successfully in the past. The only difference is this time is factory reset it first. Then attempted to flash the rom. the Rom gave me an error, and thats when the bootlooping started.
I tried factory resetting, deleting cache, leaving battery out for 30 seconds.
Im stuck at the Moto screen
SO, what do i do? is there any pertinent information im leaving out?
Your going to want to flash the sbf, full instructions are in a thread in the development section, don't have access to the link at the moment I'm mobile, sorry mate.

Is there any way to make sure this doesnt happen again? This is such a process
You could also try plugging the phone into a wall when its off to see if you can get into BSR and either restore a backup or try to flash again.

It IS a bit of a process to go thorough. Part of the price to pay if you're gonna modify, I guess. If the suggestion above about trying the BSR program (Bootstrap Recovery program, also called "System Recovery" in app drawer) doesn't work for you, then SBF to stock, which should get you back live, then flash P3 rooted Gingerbread, then Eclipse. That will work. All the links with instructions and downloads have been graciously provided here by our Moderator, The Clown.
As you already know, Eclipse has loaded fairly easily in the past, and wiping data is the recommended procedure. While not absolutly necessary, it has helped others resolve problems they had after loading Eclipse in the past, so I wouldn't be afraid to do it. It's hard for anyone to say for sure why this happened to you this time. The process is a bit touchy, reqireing you to follow the instructions exactly - including, for example, plugging in the phone to a wall charger while using the System Recovery program. Perhaps you inadvertently left out some step along the way.
I dont THINK i did, but hey, i wouldnt doubt it.
Anywho, just for an update, im now pre-rooted GB, waiting for nitro to update the eclipse rom.
Problem is now, i dont have 3g. i tried *228 multiple times

Reflash the sbf, activate the phone, reflash P3Droids update, wipe data/cache/dalvik from custom recovery, flash Eclipse v0.3/4 wichever now that he has a newer release.... I had to do this yesterday as I wiped when I didnt get a homescreen after flashing Eclipse.

[Q] Phone wont stop saying "Contacting Network"

i cannot even get to the homescreen...i tried flashing yay's .sbf file but still nothing...what file do i need to flash to go back to stock? or will that even fix it?
Yoi should post in that thread. More information would also be helful such as rooted or not etc.

You'd have to have the stock SBF file to flash back to stock. I think Yay had it in one of his threads.

SBF has not been working for myself and many other xda members... how can you use sbf to solve the problem if it won't work??? Has anyone successfully used it on the Photon? I am familiar with SBFing, but not on the photon... I know that it is the same, but it could be faulty sbf files... anyone have any tips?
The same problem
I have the same problem. I use my Photon in Russia with gsm sim card. At first everything was fine, the phone was looking Sprint's network for a long time, then gave an error that "can not be activated", and loaded on (works fine). But now, always looking for the network. And do nothing. Wipe and flashing other roms do not help.
Any ideas?

did you relock the bootloader in fastboot or by flashing the sbf file?
What file are you using to relock the bootloader via fastboot? The lock file is an sbf and has to been done via RSD.

I figured out hot to get over contacting network... just power and vol down and select Boot-Android (no BP) this will boot you up with no modem, so activation fails, select airplane mode, restart.
When it restarts it will say that the handsfree activation cannot be done with airplane mode on, just hit ok and move on.
When you get into the homescreen just turn off airplane mode. so everything is on now. the last things i need are the settings to get this working with 3g now, because i can get voice and 4g to work.
If 3g doesn't authentificate you cannot update your profile, therefor no 3g data and if you start a profile update you will get into the same loop of Contacting Network...
Also in RSD Lite my phone has a nice field that says:
Phone Type: Engineering (0000000000000000000000000000).. check the attachement

that's not the issue. the issues is that it isn't authentication with the 3g, 4g works, voice works.
I need to make it authentificate with the network so i can update the profile and PRL. My PRL is 51079.
Can anyone post the 51082 prl. I want to see if that does anything.
I hate to do this but a real fix is to call sprint and ask for

Then go to dialer

From what I've read, if you're planning to root your phone, it's much easier and better supported to do it from an earlier version.

AT&T does this in case the update has a problem that missed their QA process.
I'm fairly certain they are rolling out the update fairly slowly - there were even rumors that it might have been pulled for a while. People getting the OTA have had a LOT of complaints.

The reason you see so many 2.3.6 based ROMs in development is because a few developers took a gamble - they guessed that the UCKK6 leak might be a final release that could go official, and they were right. We had access to a full UCKK6 2-3 weeks before anyone received an OTA.
Note that many of those ROMs are appearing to have a few issues:
1) Weird wifi compatibility issues not present in UCKH7
2) Bluetooth HID is broken - no mouse/keyboard pairing

If you root using either Super One Click, or Doomlords version of the zergrush exploit, you will still retain the stock kernel and be able to get the update without additional changes. If you update while rooted, you will retain root on UCKK6.
I'm not sure, but if you use the zedomax kernel to root, you may lose device manager and therefore not be able to check for the update.

Am I supposed to take the battery out or something. It says do not turn off so I'm a bit confused.
You should not interrupt download mode during a flash, of course, because bad things will happen. However, if the flash is finished, or if you put the phone into download mode without starting a flash, just hold down the power button until the download screen goes away, and the boot screen appears. You can also just pull the battery.

Lol. Yeah. I didn't start a flash at all. I used pda net to get the drivers and upon connecting it didn't work. So thanks. I think I'll use the zedomax way and then flash entropy's daily driver through clockwork mod. I can do that right?
That should work fine.

Try this, go to menu/settings/applcations/manage applications/all tab/device manager and hit the clear data button. Then go to menu/settings/check for updates and it should let you download.

Hey man. That worked but the install failed. I read about this somewhere though. Don't I have to wipe data or something. Or will I need to apply the update manually?

You mean it wouldn't download, or after it downloaded it wouldn't install?

Right. After it downloaded it wouldn't install.

It fails at 67 percent and I tried seven times by moving the date forward and clearing the data to get the update each time. And I even turned off wiring and used data. It just keeps failing for some reason

I don't know what would be causing the problem. Some posters indicated that you need to have all the bloatware on the phone, as well as the stock kernel, but I don't know if that is true or not.
I know that when I tested it, I started out on UnNamed. I Used the Odin One-click downloader to put UCKH7 stock plus root, and then updated succesfully. The first time I did it, I forgot to do a data wipe, so after I pulled the files I was getting, I did a data wipe, installed the UCKH7 stock plus root and updated again. The update worked flawlessly on both occasions, retaining root.
So the only thing I can suggest is do a wipe data/factory reset in recovery, install the Return/Unbrick to stock UCKH7 plus root package, and then update. I would think that would clear anything out that would prevent the update.
