Possible to get back to Sprint froyo?

This is very disappointing. I regret my hastiness in flashing the Boost 2.3 instead of waiting lil more for Sprint 2.3. Its clear to me that the SIM is not being identified on the right band. Now that the baseband flashing also not helping, only two options left.

1. Get back to sprint 2.2 and flash the update - Any way to get back to Sprint 2.2? I tried but bootloader errs out.

- Even if this works out, bad thing with Sprint is it needs activation before it gets to the home screen (Cant switch to airplane mode..)

2. Tweak the Boost 2.3 to get SIM on GSM 900/1800 channels.

- If it is a radio issue Radiocomm might help. But what exactly to fiddle with in the Radio values I m not sure.

- If it is a software issue, God help us with a quick update from Boost.

3. Get Sprint 2.3 sbf

- Some geek has to compile this from a working Sprint 2.3 model. But again, the issue of the activation loop remains.

XPRT as such is a global phone and Boost also advertising likewise, the GSM should work flawless (like Sprint did in 2.2)

EDIT: Seems like GSM is a persistent problem on Boost XPRTs https://forums.motorola.com/posts/7de243b254 .....I couldn't wait as Sprint had this activation loop issue :sad:

Any help you can offer, friends??
[Droid Pro General] PilgriM_e95:
who can make a backup of your XPRT with pure Sprint 2.3.5?

Help.

Or maybe someone has a working file for calibration Radiocomm XPRT to Boost 2.3.5?

Can someone collect firmware if they would give him sistem folder Sprint 2.3.5?
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
So are there any other devs working on roms or bootstrappers for the xprt or is this going to be a case of underground fandom?
[Droid Pro General] esoh:
I have had this phone for over a year and seen literally nothing. We didn't even get official GB until about 3 months ago and after that we didn't see a root until about 2 weeks ago after Dan hooked us all up. My guess is that there is nobody working on anything for this phone, so we may as well be happy with what we got. I hope I'm proven wrong, but I doubt it.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
Yeah I got mine a few months after they released. It bricked and I recently got it back and rooted. Well I personally enjoy it and it is my first android phone. I will not own another phone that isn't android powered.
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
I saw mine at boost and I was all like omg omg omg get it. Played with it. Loved it. Started to hate it. Overheats. FCs. No rom support. TOOK FOREVER FOR ROOT LIKE WTF I NEED TO LEARN CODING. And to top it all off, my phone is my only source of internet so I needed tethering. I honestly believe this could be a much much much better phone. But boost and Motorola had a bowel movement in digital form and that was how the xprt software was created. I am sad.
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
Friends, I am getting restless waiting to see a ray of hope. Since I got this last year, it was lying dead in India after I rooted and deleted a file by mistake(otherwise also Froyo was such a crap). Only a month ago, the Boost 2.3 brought it back to life but the joy was killed to find the gsm data is not working. Still the hardware of the phone is amazing and the GB is light years better than froyo and it is absolutely slick with clear graphics. Praying hard for some good news from Motorola/Sprint/boost.... at least before the phone becomes deprecated :sigh:
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
GSM working

So guys, I finally had my GSM working on Boost XPRT. I'm going to test it for a while and then I'll upload the files necessary. So keep your fingers crossed.

Quick GSM fix

Here's the file

http://www.mediafire.com/?jhtb6nzjotpdmpa

Install Droid2 Bootstrapper.

Copy the downloaded file to the root of your sdcard

Install from recovery.

Let me know how it goes.
[Droid Pro General] bogeyman44:
Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Installed correctly,but still doesn't find gsm provider to connect to.

I think I messed up the baseband/ril with defy baseband changer apk.
[Droid Pro General] PilgriM_e95:
Man, I love you!))) It works very well!

GSM works! Thank you!
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
So can you run driod 2 bootstrapper on the boost or just sprint
[Droid Pro General] PilgriM_e95:
I have Motorola XPRT Sprint with firmware Boost 2.3.5.
[Droid Pro General] johnnycocot:
Trouble Upgrading to 2.3.5

I have Froyo on my Sprint XPRT and want to get to Gingerbread; however, I'm running into a problem. Can anybody help???

I had previously rooted my XPRT and uninstalled a bunch of Sprint bloatware (as discussed in the first pages of this thread). Prior to uninstalling said bloatware I backed up "app + data" using Titanium Backup to my SD card and still have those backups.

Now when I go to update to GB the installer aborts, during the "Verifying Current System" step. Specifically, it fails to find /system/app/BlurSNMessagingEngine.apk

After seeing this error it occurs to me that this would be a great time to use Titanium Backup to restore all of the crap that I'd used it to remove originally. Unfortunately, TB hangs whenever I select the Restore option and I eventually have to force-close it. Other users on other forums report that this is a general TB issue that can be resolved by changing App Processing Mode to "indirect." Even after doing this TB still hangs when I attempt to restore files and I again have to force-close.

Any suggestions on how I can update my XPRT to Gingerbread?

Is there another way that I missed to apply the update that will allow it to succeed without restoring the missing files?

Is there a manual way (or another app) I can use to properly restore these backups to my /system/app folder?

Normally I'm able to resolve these kinds of problems with a few Google searches, but I've been working on this one for three days and am still no closer to knowing what to do!
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
Install the stock sbf of Sprint 2.2 first and then run update.zip
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
@bogeyman

Have you checked your settings carefully?
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Try getting the apk from the backup folder if possible and then go to the market and get system app mover. Try that.
[Droid Pro General] PilgriM_e95:
Guys, what about CM7 for XPRT? for Droid Pro is after all. No questions are asked? did not try to flash?
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
Sadly it didnt work:( same issue voice calls fine...data doesnt work..... some apps show sim card not present...is it because i had already flashed bp.img from sprint 2.3 update?? Should i reflash boost xprt, root it and then flash your gsm fix?
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
probably. reflash and try again.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
I understand the sprint version that is boost flashed works, is there any weird differences that would make a straight up boost xprt not work with the droid bootstrapper?

Also what are the added benefits this is my first android phone and I would like to learn more qbout it.
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
The droid 2 bootstrapper should work fine with any XPT.

First root your phone.

Install droid2 bootstrapper.

Run droid2 bootstrapper.

Select bootstrap recovery.

Enable superuser.

Select reboot recovery.

The phone will reboot into cwm recovery automatically.

It is useful to apply unsigned update.zip, do a nandroid backup and recovery, wipe data partition, wipe dalvik cache. But I wouldn't recommend playing around with format options.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
Sounds great, thanks for the info. I learned the hard way when I first started using linux based machines to not mess with things unless a lot of research is done lol.
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
No luck

Tried..but no luck :( ...Not sure if it is coz of the bp.img I flashed....

possible to explain what is you approach behind your zip file?
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
Well basically its just deodexed files of app and framework folders of boost rom and some files from the sprint rom.
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Try?
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
bp.img has any effect?

Long time back I flashed the bp.img you gave. Could it be that it is hampering your fix?

If you gsm and data both are working now, please provide me the radio backup files from radiocomm. But somehow last time when i tried one of the radio backups, radiocomm did not restore them. ANy idea how to do that?

Thanks.
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
flash the original boost sbf with RSDLite. it will restore your radio.
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
Did the same through sbf_flash

I did the same with sbf_flash:

1.sbf_flash(ed) the boost xprt

2.sbf_flash (ed) again with preinstall.img and followed the 'long linux way' to push su and rooted it

3.installed droid 2 boot strapper

4.installed your zip in recovery

I will repeat once again with step 1 using RSD lite and let you know.
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
You got the process wrong. Flash with RSDLite. it will restore your radio. sbf_flash doesn't restore radio. root with Dan Rosenberg's root for XPRT from a few posts back. Install Droid 2 bootstrapper and install the zip file.
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
Can anyone using GSM prepaid able to use USSD codes?
[Droid Pro General] PilgriM_e95:
No. USSD codes do not work.
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
No luck

No luck mate. I tried exactly the same...with RSD Lite. But nothing changed :( No data. What log info would you like to see to analyze?..I will publish here.
[Droid Pro General] KTK1212:
cant root xprt

i have been following this and other threads for a while and i am still unable to root my sprint xprt 2.3.5

any ideas? any help would be appreciated
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
Have you entered your APNs?
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
USSD problem

I just entered a USSD code to check my balance but the "USSD code running" doesn't stop and no result was displayed. So I ran a logcat and found out this.

10-30 17:48:30.113 1576 1620 E RIL-CC : parUSSD: PARSE ERROR Main Bal Rs ******. Val 23-11-2012, More at*367*1#.200Mins-200 SMS for 21days with 64 pack,15

So can anyone tell me where is the problem that the network returned values are not displayed?
[Droid Pro General] mikronex:
The same with me. The response of the network is recorded in the log, but no display on the screen as it should ... :rolleyes:
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
Guess I'll have to use logcat to check my balance. lol
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
Value of [gsm.sim.state] in your Boost XPRT?

Hi guys,

After reflashing, re-rooting and apply rongsang's GSM fix also, data in my phone doesnt work.

Below are the two major problems:

APN entered is not saved. After entering all the details, the list goes blank. I even tried pushing apns-conf.xml(with only my custom entry) manually, with no luck. Ideally my SIM in another droid would receive the config settings message automatically unlike in my xprt!

when I do getprop, in the output I notice

[gsm.sim.state]: [NOT_READY]

.

Can anyone with Boost XPRT, using GSM outside US confirm if you also see the above?
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
can you upload the full getprop as well as the logcat?
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
Did u try running as an administrator? I think the adb commands are being denied permission and the last error saying the file exists indicates you might have run this multilpe times.
[Droid Pro General] bogeyman44:
Yes, setting are ok.

I just tried to flash boost sbf again with rsdlite and reintall your zip... No luck. Something with the radio seems messed up.

Btw. after rsd apps remained intact, is it supposed to be like that?
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
I don't think rsd formats your data partition. do a data/factory reset from your recovery
[Droid Pro General] KTK1212:
Yes sir. I am running the cmd with the runas command and getting that going then running the adb then run the from there
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
You may want to try a full wipe of the phone, clearing data partition and everything including the sd card. I have seen things backup on the sd and recover from there before.
[Droid Pro General] bogeyman44:
Whatever I do, it's the same.

When I open network search, the phone returns empty list of available networks (auto doesn't find anything also).

I will try messing around with radiocomm.
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
factory reset, reflash, reroot...getprop and Logcat here

I just did a factory reset and also cleared the cache from the recovery menu. Later I tried Dan's root fix.

Below are the steps:

-Factory reset...CWM recovery is still there

-wiped all partitions except /boot

-swapped in a fresh sd card and formatted it

-Reflashed 1FF-p3_kronos_cdma_kronos-user-2.3.5-4.5.1-KNS-29-BST-15-18-release-keys-signed-Boost-US using RSD Lite

-Rerooted with Dan's fix

-got getprop and logcat(while trying to add an APN)

-Installed Droid 2 Bootstraper

-flashed the rongsang GSM fix

-got getprop and logcat(while trying to add an APN) again

Below are my observations:

-the "adb shell" initially showed $ instead of #. But now its all fine :)

-still APN list is empty and unable to add an APN (logcat shows apnName is null! not sure why).

Can someone compare this with their Boost getprops and let me know the difference (or you can post your getprop here)?

Also Please confirm if the sbf i used above is the latest.

Thanks,

Are you using GSM data outside US?
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
No I am in the us but I figured it may help still.
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
Sure thank you. First thing I noticed is that the bootloader is different mine is 0400 and yours 0402. When did you purchase you phone?
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
XPRT seems to be incompatible with AUS SIM

I think the issue is with the Lebara SIM cards in here AUS. I tried many of them and all show gsm.sim.state = NOT_READY. But when I popped in my Indian SIM, the sim is recognized and gsm.sim.state = READY. But I cant test as it would be international roaming. I was wondering what parameters/specifications in a SIM card would ban this AUS sim from being recognized?
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
I purchased my phone in late april of this year. Then had it refurbed after it bricked.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
The new boot error is showing that the flash actually failed and did not take.

I suggest redownloading both sbfs and trying them. To flash in the state you are in you will need to have rsd ready with the files loaded. Boot the phone into the bootstrap menu and start the flash process.

Also I am being lazy. Do you have Sprint or Boost Mobile for your carrier. I am assuming from the error you got you have a boost phone and tried a sprint sbf.
[Droid Pro General] bytebrahma:
Hi WaxPaper,

Thats sad! Couple of other users have also have faced this. But the Bootloader screen is for flashing sbfs or ROM files using Motorola RSD lite or sbf_flash. I does not ADB AFAIK. Let me dig deeper about your issue.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------

This error I got when I tried 2.2 sprint sbf over boost 2.3 sbf. Later when I flashed back the 2.3 boost sbf, it was fine. Just try flashing the 2.3 again.

EDIT: RSD in a virtual windows fails in the last stage. So do it only in the real windows machine.
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
I actually just succeeded in flashing my Sprint XPRT with the newer Boost SBF that's out there:

1FF-p3_kronos_cdma_kronos-user-2.3.5-4.5.1-KNS-29-BST-15-18-release-keys-signed-Boost-US.sbf

...and it worked, even though my XPRT is from Sprint (and if anyone else wants to know, I'm in the U.S. and using it on CDMA, so I can't speak of the GSM problems that some users have reported).

So far everything seems fine, and the only differences that I've noticed are the "Boost" digital branding instead of Sprint, and a LACK OF ALL SPRINT BLOATWARE, which is an awesome added benefit.

Of course I'd rather be using the ROM that was made for my phone, but for now -- or until someone finally leaks a 2.3.5 Sprint XPRT SBF -- it looks like I'll be using this. Thanks for the replies, and I'm gonna update my original post with this info for people needing the same info in the future.

Cheers!

[Droid Pro General] bogeyman44:
Thank you, I'm flashing it as we speak.

What is the the purpose of bootloader sbf (BL_0402_cdma_kronous_HS_generic_signed_Consumer_replacer.sbf)?

OK, I installed it, it didn't solve my problem, surprisingly. I just RSD-ed it, I will try wiping the phone.

Is there a way to restore changes made with baseband changer and radiocomm?

Could somebody make a radio backup with radiocomm and send it for me to load it if possible?

djrbliss' root exploit v4 worked after second try with this sbf.
[Droid Pro General] drkcobra:
It's purpose is to update the bootloader if necessary. Bootloaders are not generally part of the sbf firmware files from Motorola.

[Droid Pro General] tzuba12:
So do you mean if you flash this, it won't delete all of your data? I'm also on the Boost sbf with the sprint xprt because my phone got stuck in a bootloop 2 days ago.

[Droid Pro General] raak13:
I have a problem. My XPRT wont work with GSM sim, but he work without sim. Phone always reboots with sim. Help please. 2.3.5
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
Wow, if that's the case, then thanks! So I had no idea you could flash the ROM without wiping the phone's data... Has that always been the case?

Also, I assume this ROM will work with the the latest version of RSD Lite? The reason I ask is because when I was trying to flash my phone back to the original Froyo SBF, I found out that not all SBFs will work with every version of RSD Lite, or something.

But anyway, I'm on the Boost 2.3.5 ROM right now, and I'm gonna go ahead and try flashing it with this file so that I can technically get my device back on the proper Sprint ROM. Thanks!

EDIT: It worked, and just like another user reported, it didn't wipe my apps and settings. Thanks again!

battery life on Motorolla XPRT with 2.2.2 and with 2.3.5

Dear freinds,

What can you tell about of a battery life after the firmware upgrade from Fr 2.2.2 to GB 2.3.5?

At a Sprint community forum there were complaints that the insertion 2.3.5 sits down the battery quicker.

_community.sprint.com/baw/thread/98627?start=15&tstart=0

Or it is not necessary to pay attention to these messages as simple users didn't deal with that that at them is included by default right after firmware upgrade.
[Droid Pro General] cutung:
I'm using Sprint XPRT with 2.3.5 Boost rom. I have the same ideas as you. The low signal (GSM, 3G), the short life battery. I wish to return 2.2.2 origin!

Can everybody teach me the way to downgrade from 2.3.5 Boost (or Sprint) to 2.2.2 stock SBF without error bootloader? I know the main problem is bootloader, my device was soft bricked over three times when i try to downgrade.

Thanks a lot!
[Droid Pro General] Vadim_O:
I read at this topic from one of beta-testers that beta version GB 2.3.5 good save battery, but I read this only in one message.

Still waiting for other opinion - what you think about battery life 2.2.2 with 2.3.5

And what pluses we can receive if use original firmware 2.3.5 with only adding root for 2.3.5.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
Well I never had 2.2 as I have the boost version, but the battery life on mine is very good.

Even with me running in performance mode all the time ( I play a lot of games) I still get 5-6 hours out of my battery.

Before I clocked my phone and ran it normal, I could easily get a couple days full on usage from it, that's just texting, surfing, and the occasional game.

All in all I believe it has a really good battery life. As for the perks I am not really sure, I have heard it runs a whole lot smoother than froyo, apps load faster, and seems less buggy from what I have read. Hope this helped.
[Droid Pro General] bogeyman44:
I got my xprt with froyo, it really had noticeably longer battery life, but even with GB it is far better than most other androids.

It would be really nice if we had unlocked bootloader ;)
