That was actually part of my previous post. It almost certainly won't do anything. The associated edit in radiocomm (I wouldn't try flashing the file, but rather just do the actual edit manually) is described by a response from a TBH member below:

"I really doubt it will have any effect whatsoever on Sprint firmware. Sprint has its own proprietary NV setup that works very differently than VZW.

It is a simple edit if you want to try anyway.

NV Item 8258 record 1 bytes length 5e. Change first byte from 0C to 00 and write back with length 5e.

That's it!

Good luck but don't get your hopes up too high. ;)"

From an old radio dump (no longer have my XPRT), I see that the first byte of NV item 8258 is already 00 on the XPRT, however, that was read with a length of 128 bytes, not 94 (5e).... but I don't see how that would make any difference. If it does, I figured I'd include that so someone could test!

If you want any help on how to setup radiocomm, check post #50 of this thread where I talk about my attempted TBH's 3G hotspot hack (which won't work because sprints tethered/nontethered NAI are passed OTA after building the initial login for the data profile update from NV Item 8091 instead of 8040-43.) I link to a thread where CellZealot of TBH has a nice step-by-step guide to getting radiocomm set up.

Note: Using this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1230947 to unlock direct editing of the M.IP tables may still work for the 3G hotspot hack. You'd simply apply this, and copy the nontethered NAI that is passed to your phone to the tethered spot (IE <yourlogin>@sprintpcs.com instead of <yourlogin>@modem.sprintpcs.com), but that would likely be reset when you update your data profile. For help with QPST to edit the MIP profile after using radiocomm to enable its editing, see: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1716685-HOW-TO-Provision-Motorola-Droid-Pro-to-Metro. I had QPST working when I had my XPRT but didn't know about QPST MIP profile edit unlocking via the NV edit in this note, so I couldn't try changing anything.

So I take then, that no one has an xprt working on any carrier other than Sprint inside the US. Just curious, would Boost be a possibility?
[Droid Pro General] theslug:
I don't think Boost will activate postpaid sprint android ESNs (people have had luck with older windows mobile and palmOS phones though). AFAIK, all the people with EVOs etc on boost have changed the MEIDs to match boost phones. So it's technically possible, but I think the only realistic method of achieving it is illegal (ESN clone)... unless you can sweet talk a rep into doing something they shouldn't :).

[Droid Pro General] davekung:
I justed acquired a brand new XPRT. Not activated. I am happy to create a SBF file if someone can provide a link to the instructions.

I want to do the band unlock as well.

I was hoping to flash the Droid pro SBF and follow TBH 's direction to do the unlock. But looks like it will not work.

Want to have a copy of SBF file for unbrick purpose.
[Droid Pro General] drkcobra:
No instructions exist as it is not possible.

This was borrowed from someone's else's post about how to unlock the Droid Pro which is the Verizon equivalent of the XPRT.

NV Item 8258 record 1 bytes length 5e. Change first byte from 0C to 00 and write back with length 5e.

That's it!

Good luck but don't get your hopes up too high.

The latest update from Sprint failed repeatedly to install on my phone (rooted and with clockworkmod installed). I couldn't get it to install even from clockworkmod. I'll try to uninstall cwm and unroot and try again. Like a rehearsal for when GB becomes available (if ever).
[Droid Pro General] trendicoff:
I just installed the 4.1.110 update and now my phone seems to be unrooted. I tried to run wifi tether and it keeps failing and asking "is your phone rooted?". I downloaded the newest SuperOneClick and it says it worked but every time I open the terminal and type SU it says access denied. Any ideas?
[Droid Pro General] hykuo:
I have a different problem. I could download the file for 4.1.110, but the update/installation kept failing. I did uninstall some stock apps. Which one should I put it back so that my update will be successful? Or is there a way to turn off the automatic update?

When I press @ to see more details about the errors during the installationp process, here is what I have.

It's been months since I added the CWM recovery to my device. Is there a way to remove the custom recovery? I plan on doing this and removing root, then updating to the latest firmware, and re-rooting the device.

Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 PM ----------

I installed the CWM recovery, rooted, and uninstalled/froze some apps. Even after troubleshooting, I couldn't find the root cause of my update issue. Eventually, I did a factory restore. The update downloaded, but my custom recovery seemed to get in the way. CWM would appear halfway through the update process as the phone must reboot. When the phone boots completely, it tells me the install failed.
[Droid Pro General] theslug:
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-rs-guides/13507-how-install-remove-bootstrap-recovery.html

Note that because of the locked bootloader, you haven't flashed the recovery partition; the droid 2 bootstrapper is just an exploit that hijacks the boot process to load a custom recovery at each boot. Easiest way to uninstall is to follow the second method of the link above. Do this, uninstall the bootstrapper program, unroot, and youre free to factory reset etc. I did this when I returned my XPRT without issue. A free alternative to root explorer is ES File Explorer. Note that for write privileges in ES File Explorer, you'll have to hit the options button, tap settings, check "root explorer", and "mount as writable." Good luck!

If you're curious about how this works, and why it's different from a real recovery flash, check out the author's page about it:

http://www.koushikdutta.com/2010/08/droid-x-recovery.html

You guys may be living on the edge more than you realize, as 1) This is not a real recovery and 2) There is no way to restore if things get totally hosed, as there is no leaked XPRT SBF AFAIK. If you delete that logwrapper file, for example, I don't think the phone will boot!

[Droid Pro General] jh1523:
Huh, I just realized that the Droid Pro forum is in the "legacy devices" part of this board.

So the XPRT only gets 1 thread in a subforum in the legacy section, among dozens of old devices.

No wonder almost nobody posts here, and help is so scarce.
[Droid Pro General] Patrickkerstholt:
I had the same problem over here:

What to do: Start up, put your phone away for ten minutes. After 10 minutes or so watch if it is asking to change connection mode to automatic instead of CDMA. Accept this, wait for ten minutes or something like that again and a error message will appear that hands free activation wasn't succesfull. Afterwards the bloatware from your provider appears, for me it was sprint zone. I could bypass this software by pressing the calendar button, when the calendar was started hit the home button and there you go. Phone is booted. ;)

Hope this will help!

Edit:

Next time the airplane mode button will work and you can bypass the activation in that way. I could not fine a way to remove it yet.

Anybody knows which apk is responsible for the handsfree activation? When someone knows you could delete it through ADB connection.

Edit two:

This only worked out once for me?! Now I'm at the loop too...

How can we bypass this?
[Droid Pro General] tjalendran:
Any luck with it yet anyone??????? :S

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:40 PM ----------

Thanks for the help.. but unfortunately for me the calendar button does not bring up anything.. :( after the hands free activation fails all i can do it get out of that screen which takes me back to contacting network... would really appreciate if there is any way to remove the activation using ADB
[Droid Pro General] Patrickkerstholt:
Maybe can try this:

adb shell am start -a android.settings.AIRPLANE_MODE_SETTINGS
adb shell input keyevent 19 & adb shell input keyevent 23
[Droid Pro General] Patrickkerstholt:
I am facing exactly the same problem!!!

Also can not bypass!

I've got the same problem, I only could pass the activation once, now I'm also stuck. I bought the phone on ebay and thinking of sending it back because it is sold me as unlocked but the phone is not activation and so it is locked...
[Droid Pro General] Patrickkerstholt:
Maybe it's possible to flash the droid pro update.zip

That is located over here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/dr...gingerbread-ota-update-zip-file-download.html

I don't know if this is possible? I still have got warranty options so I don't want to try this myself otherwise it's impossible to ship it back for me...

Anyone that can tell me if it's possible to use a droid pro rom on a xprt?

Hardware is almost the same. Anybody maybe tried to flash cyanogenmod made for the droid pro on his xprt?

Thanks in advantage!
[Droid Pro General] tjalendran:
I read that you cant flash the droid pro rom on the XPRT, i guess we have to find a SBF file for the XPRT somehow!

I dont know if this will help anyone but its worth a try. I was trying to remove clockwork so i could install the update from sprint, in the process i bricked my xprt, it was stuck at the motorola logo. anyway this is how i was able to factory reset my phone.

with the phone off press and hold the R and M keys then press and hold the power button, hold all 3 down untill the android screen shows. Then press the @ key and the android system recovery will come up. use the volume keys to select wipe data/factory reset.

Hope it helps

I am unable to perform update due to removing some apps. I have tried downloading droid versions of the system apps and placing them in /system/app directory but they still won't pass the patch_check in the initial update process.

I unzipped the sprint update file and tried editing the updater-script file found in META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script to remove the patch_check lines and then rezipped the file and renamed it update.zip but I get a signature verification failed and the install aborts.

Do you think it's possible to resign it using the method in the link you provided?

bootstrapper not working with 4.1.110

bootstrapper not working with 4.1.110

I followed these directions, and when I try to boot into recovery, it hangs at the Moto icon. Any ideas? Should I try to figure out how to revert to 4.1.5.

From Vegasrooted

Here are the steps I followed: **PROPS TO HYDROGEN FOR MOST OF THIS INFO!**

1. Install SuperOneClick on your PC, along with the Motorola USB drivers.

2. Root using SuperOneClick.

3. Buy and install Droid 2 Bootstrapper from the Market.

4. Run Droid 2 Bootstrapper to bootstrap the recovery.

5. Install Rom Manager from the Market.

6. Use Rom Manager to install ClockworkMod recovery, using "Droid 2" as your phone type.

7. Use Droid 2 Bootstrapper to "Reboot Recovery" (Phone will reboot to ClockworkMod recovery)

8. In ClockworkMod recovery, make a backup of your current ROM.

9. **EXTRA INSURANCE** Make a backup copy of your SD card on your PC, so if your SD card gets messed up, you still have a copy of the backup of your original ROM.

10. Install Titanium Backup from the Market and strip out the bloat! (Check page one of this thread for the stuff that I personally stripped out with no resulting issues...)

VegasRooted

EDIT:

A. I am able to successfully reboot to recovery (clockwork 2.5.0.8) from the Droid 2 Bootstrapper App, and do a backup from there.

B. However, I cannot 1) flash bootloader from droid 2 app, 2) flash latest CWM recovery from ROM manager, then use bootloader app to reboot to recovery.

C. It's confusing to me that the clockworkmod recovery I supposedly flashed from the rom manager (following above instructions) says that it is version 5-point something, not 2.5.0.8. But when I get to the recovery (via A above), I see clockwork 2.5.0.8. Is this ok? Are my nandroid backups going to work?

Would be great peace of mind if someone could tell me this sounds normal and I can get on with doing minor superuser stuff while thinking I have a good backup (completed with cwm 2.5.0.8).

Apologies for the noob-ishness. I hope to contribute more when I learn more.

Hi,

Just received my XPRT here in Israel, and I'm having one huge problem:

Is there anyway to change languages on the physical qwerty keyboard?

Hi folks,

Its a big relief to find this discussion on XPRT. I liked this mobile for its keypad and battery. Yet I am bit dicey now seeing the issues/concerns flaring up on the Motorola users forum. It would be great if you folks could share your valuable thoughts:

#1. How long does the battery last?

#2. I need to buy in US and use it in India. Do I still need to buy an unlocked version?

#3. Are you guys facing any serious issues like audio/call drops (like people complained in the Moto forums)?

#4. Should I need to follow up with the Sprint patches (or I need to root the phone)?

Thanks in advance,

Rao.
[Droid Pro General] hanybanoub:
Hi there,

Thanks very much for the great steps.

I am stuck after no 7. It reboots but gets stuck at the 'M' logo.

I've tried x and long hold of power but nothing. I've also tried long hold power and volumn down and up, but nothing.

Eventually I pulled the battery, tried these again but couldn't get into CWM. Actually ended up booting in the phone itself, and the fun of activation/airplane mode wait game.

Please can you advise? I'd really like to make a back up of the entire device before removing apps and so on.

Thank you

Motorola xprt

I have a new xprt on Sprint that has not been rooted and is up to date. I don't know anything about rooting phones. If you need assistance with anything on my phone since its new let me know. I believe it was page 16 someone was asking who has a new motorola xprt.

@hanybanoub

u cannot boot in Recovery?

try first: press Volume + & - Key, when u sure both are pressed then

now actually it should boot in recovery
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigmtndawg:
For the record, I searched several times, but did not find an answer that seemed to fit this question. Also, I hope this isn't a ridiculous noob question.

A little background. I have/had a D1 which I rooted and changed ROMs on many times. It was easy. I either used a new .zip file or ROM Manager. I now have a Fascinate that I tried to root with SuperOneClickRoot, but it didn't seem to work as none of the 'root-only' apps would work. I then tried using Odin, but still had the same problem. I successfully used Odin to return to stock, but of course that was annoying and painful. Frustration got the best of me, and I tried again with Odin and was successful. I ran Odin, got to recovery, installed and ran a SuperClean ROM using the .zip file for many days.

Here's where the trouble begins. I decided to try a different ROM, so I rebooted into recovery, backed up my current ROM (or so I thought), and tried to load another .zip ROM. The first one would not load correctly, so I tried another, and then one more. I wiped the data and the cache before each try. None of them worked, so I thought, OK forget this, I'll go back to my backup and stick with it. NO BACKUP (for this phone) was listed under Backup or Advanced Backup. So, now I'm really stuck, because the only ROM I can get to work at all is Kaoscinate (sp?), but it will NOT work with 'root only' apps, like Titanium Backup'. I read a good bit on xda and tried to change with Odin, but I still had no real luck. I was able to get a SuperDark ROM to work, but it is on Android 2.1 and the 'root only' apps still do not work on it. I'm afraid to try another ROM change because of the issues I've had before. I want to go back to the SuperClean ROM. My phone is very important as it's my business line, so monkeying around with this trial and error is taking too long and making me very uncomfortable.

I can easily get to recovery, wipe data &/or cache, and install a new .zip, but will it boot or work for me? I believe the answer is no, so what am I doing wrong?

Will I have to go through Odin to restore to stock and then REDO the Odin root and go to a ROM that way? That is time-consuming and my confidence is low in that method working to get the ROM I want.

Is there some kind of fix for the 'root only' programs to be able to see that I AM rooted? I tried updating Busybox using Titanium, but that didn't do the trick. Plus, this time, I can't even get Titanium to open, because it says I'm not rooted.

Thanks in advance.

If it's that important, and you'd like to avoid any trial and error, simply odin your preference of ED01 roms here:

To test root, simply open terminal emulator (free in market) and type "su" (no parentheses). It will notify you of a superuser request.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoninja118:
find an odin package for the baseband you want like EB01, EC01, ED01, etc (I use an all in one complete deodexed and debloated EB01 package myself) and the newest CWM 3. Odin them both, boot straight into cwm, wipe data/cache/dalvik, install the .zip rom of your choice from sd card and reboot phone. Should work fine, its the way I've done it and I've had few if any problems

edit: most roms like SuperClean, Evil, ComRom, etc are already rooted so there's no need to do anything special to gain root. the hardest part is flashing it correctly

^^This one worked great for me. I seem to have the Samsung things I like (their visual voice mail, their video player, etc.) without the other bloatware.

I do have one more question. You said 'flashing the ROM correctly'. Before, with my D1, that simply meant using RM to 'Load Custom ROM' or rebooting into recovery mode and installing another .zip file. That has not seemed to work on this phone. What is the correct way to load another ROM on these phones.

Again, thanks for the help!!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artvandelay440:
Do not use ROM manager at all for anything on the fascinate.

The correct way to flash on fascinate: Download ROM .zip file and place on the root directory or your sd card. Boot into CWM and wipe data/cache/ dalvik cache (dalvik is under advanced) choose install zip from sd card. Install and reboot. First reboot will take 5-10 minutes, so be patient.

Hope this helps.
