Ok, I've been trying to get this to work for 7 hours straight. Its just one road block after another. I finally FINALLY got to the part where you put it in usb debugging mode and run the command, but now it says "cannot find device" when I know its connected.

I've had to look up tutorial after tutorial to get just to the first step because ubuntu is so difficult to use, and now I finally get to this part and it just won't find the device which really frustrates me.

This is from my Sprint XPRT, although it's currently running 2.3.5 GB via the update on this forum... (Didn't know if it mattered.) You just trying to fix a brick, or create a working root method?
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
I rooted successfully using Super One Click, but now the phone won't recognise any sim card. It says sim card not inserted, even if there is one. I did a factiry reset, but no joy.

Any advice? Is it a coincidental hardware failure?

When my phone found gsm signal of my operator-start to restart.When i put there enother operator its works great.

I want to try replace files "baseband" from 2.2.2 to 2.3.5

I do not know which file contains the "baseband"
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
2.3.5?
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
I think it'll be possible with sbf_flash in linux

try searching the net for extracting from the phone itself
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
No, 2.2.2
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
I was about to say lol. That one can be rooted with superoneclick. The other can't.
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
So does anyone have any suggestions as to what has happened to GSM? I have tried 3 different functional SIM cards in it and it just says that there is no SIM card inserted.
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Well since the SBF is boost mobile. Which I am with. Only uses CDMA. Therefore they may have taken GSM functionality out. Have you used the sprint gingerbread leak?
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
No. I'm on stock 2.2.2 rooted. It worked fine pre-root.
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Did you remove any apps? Reflash sprint sbf?
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
Can someone with working GSM please post their NV item 1877 NV_RF_BC_CONFIG_I .
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
All I did was root, installed Titanium Backup, and froze the Sprint apps. When I realised GSM wasn't working, I defrosted all the aps, and did a factory reset, but still no joy.
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Get the sprint sbf and reflash. Back all your stuff up. Best I can think of. Because factory reset really doesn't do much.
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
I flashed the sbf. No joy. I then flashed the 2.3.5 update.zip. No joy. I then hacked around the sim card slot - loosened it, tightened it, messed with it generally. That seemed to do the trick! So is there a way to root 2.3.5?
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Perhaps the connection was just a little funny. Good to hear. And no there is no rooting for 2.3.5 completely yet.
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
Is there a way to root it partially?
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Well we have a way to root it. It just requires linux.
[Droid Pro General] maherdz:
If it's 2.3.5 root on Linux, please post the necessary steps to do so.
[Droid Pro General] tzuba12:
The steps were posted a few pages back.

Any Boost XPRT using GSM with success outside the US?

I use a non-rooted Boost XPRT here in the US and love it. I was told by both Sprint and Boost that the GSM is unlocked and can be used outside the US with any non-USA GSM SIM. So, I purchased another Boost XPRT, activated it with Boost, and then sent it to my girlfriend who lives in Sao Paulo, Brazil. She tried two separate GSM SIMs, one from Vivo, and one from TIM, and both had the same results. Anytime she boots the phone with a GSM SIM, it almost gets to the unlock screen and then starts rebooting, again, and again. Every once in a while, we can get past the unlock screen, but only for a few seconds. The way we have tried to get around the loop is to boot without the SIM, put it in Airplane Mode, turn the phone off, put the SIM in, reboot, then once in Settings -> Wireless & Network Settings quickly take it out of Airplane Mode, search for operators, and once we select the operator, boom, it reboots.

My question: Is ANYONE using a Boost Mobile XPRT overseas with your local GSM SIM, and it actually works? Boost claims that the GSM feature should work perfectly, and I'm just wondering if I happened to buy a bad XPRT. Any advice would be much appreciated, because after dealing with Motorola tech support, who passed the blame to Sprint, who passed the blame to Boost, no one has answers, and after reading over 40 pages on here, the people of this thread are clearly more wise.

Cheers,

Matt

I'm on a Sprint device sews all all firmware in this thread and did not get a single network problems in the standard GSM (tested on all 4 operators of Ukraine).

i have two motorola XPRT.First good work on firmware 2.2.2, second XPRT bad work with GSM firmware 2.3.5 Boost.Please who can help me.Can i mount image from first device on firmware 2.2.2, to unmount on second device,with running 2.3.5 Boost?????I want downgraund firmware from 2.3.5 to 2.2.2.
[Droid Pro General] mattonbass:
This is what I find so confusing, because the Boost XPRT literally IS the Sprint XPRT (hardware-wise, it has the Sprint logo on it, came in the Sprint box with just a Boost Mobile sleave over it, the only thing different between the two is the software) and the software is Android 2.3.5. So if your Sprint XPRT with Boost software works, why doesn''t mine!!?? :confused:
[Droid Pro General] BeePlus:
Check the APN and mount your operator. Laid on firmware in the topic (Boost 2.3.5) in the standard Internet GSM / WDMA working after adding APN settings of your operator, and the need to reconfigure the module СDMA by your carrier (I have it Intertelecom) special programs (QPST)

After setting to restart our phone and dial any number in the window to put checkbox confirming permission to use the Internet while roaming. When on-hook, a couple of minutes later the Internet (and the icon next to the battery indicator). At least I have to do that, but it works

Sorry for my English.

[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
I have had a long list of Android devices and rooted almost all of them with no problems. However, I am a bit stuck with this device because of the Linux requirements - I have little to no experience of Linux usage.

I have 2 questions:

1 - What is the difference in software between the Boost and Sprint 2.3.5 ROMs? I am currently running the Sprint ROM and it bugs me because I am in the UK and don't need the CDMA side, only the GSM side, so it's a pain having to bypass the activation attempt, roaming warnings, cost warnings, blah blah blah. Which is why I wanted to root. Unless the Boost ROM gets rid of the CDMA side...?

2 - Please could someone post a step by step of how to root using Linux from scratch. I currently use a Windows 7 Sony Vaio laptop. Is it best to use a VM, or boot from a Live CD? Which version of Linux is best to use? What do I need to install to get adb working? etc etc.

Any help would be hugely appreciated.
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
If your GSM is working fine do not flash it with the new sbf. but you can root it.install ubuntu linux in your vm if you want to root.
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
Which is better for this task - VMWare Player or VirtualBox?
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
Don't know about VirtualBox but I've always used VMware. Always does the work.
[Droid Pro General] mattonbass:
Update: I installed the Boost 2.3.5 .sbf using RSD Lite onto my Boost XPRT already running stock 2.3.5, and although it installed perfectly, it did not fix my GSM. I have now tried 3 different SIMs from 3 different mobile network providers (Vivo, TIM, and Claro) and the same thing happens. Whenever the phone connects to the GSM mobile network, the phone reboots. Ugh.

Sprint OTA is available

Apparently there is a post on Android Central that the official Sprint OTA for the XPRT is out as of today. They are probably rolling it out like they do with other updates. When someone gets it can we get it posted here. Right now I'm running the leaked 2.3.5 version (45.1.46.MB612) with a build of 4.5.1-110-KNS-46. I would love to hear if the new OTA is updated or just what we already have.

I doubt that we'll be able to root it since the leak hasn't had an easy root since it came out.

Update: Check out Sprint page here.

Yes, +1. I'm willing to put a bounty of $20 to anyone who can provide root instructions on a stock 2.3.5 Sprint CDMA XPRT using Windows that isn't too complicated. It's not like I'm looking for a 1-click root method, just something that I can do that won't take 5 hours. Anyone else willing to chip in? There has to be someone with the brains and will to do it, no?

Have anyone tried using root keeper to save root with 2.2->2.3 update?

And is there an update.zip available anywhere? I'm still getting "Your phone is up to date."

Edit:

Well, i tried flashing stock 2.2.2, rooting via SOC, saving root with OTA Rootkeeper and updating to 2.3.5 with OTA update.zip.

Guess what, it didn't work.

On the bright site, 2.3.5 looks and feels better :)
[Droid Pro General] maherdz:
Hi guys,

I just opened the WI-FI on my XPRT (under 2.2 Froyo), an update message was displayed saying Update Available. It was 2.3 Gingerbread from Motorola.

I checked on google and indeed, Motorola finally released an update:

community.sprint.com/baw/thread/98627?tstart=0

[Droid Pro General] lord dredd:
Yupp that's the official 2.3

Lol at last

Get it ,its a great thoroughly optimized update

They have been sitting over the leak from far too long.

Although I don't use xprt anymore but I am very happy that GB is in fact official on it now.

Way to go
[Droid Pro General] TechGuru101:

rootkeeper

Tested upgrading (sprint OTA) to gingerbread on a rooted XPRT using rootkeeper to keep the root (after reading a post on page 39). Well the phone updated just fine but rootkeeper didnt keep the root...

it's worth upgrading, phone feels better, but seriously we need this thing ROOTED ASAP! :)
[Droid Pro General] maherdz:
Katone, you kept your apps affter the update, right?
[Droid Pro General] katone:
Yea I didnt touch anything and everything was there after the upgrade just as with 2.2 (which was rooted). rootkeeper was still there but didn't "

keep the root" i guess.

NV Item Dump

Can anyone with a working GSM in Motorola XPRT kindly send me the full dump of the NV Items.
[Droid Pro General] jakeo7:
NV items

Well I would be happy to, but I don't know how. I have googled the "NV items" with various terms at either end of it. I have found some CDMA stuff but not GSM. If you want to point a newbie in the right direction I will give it a try. I am running my XPRT using the GSM radio in Canada on the Telus network, but I suspect that doesn't make a difference from the little bit I have tried to understand on what you are looking for. Later
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
One thing I'm wondering is if the recent *official* Sprint update includes anything more/different than the leaked 2.3.5 update, like extra optimizations or anything. I know the "System Version" ID number matches, which is "45.1.46.MB612.Sprint.en.US," so I'm assuming it's exactly the same...

Just trying to confirm that those of us who upgraded early with the leak aren't missing out on anything, because from what my buddy from Sprint told me, the techs in the Sprint stores should still be able to roll back and wipe the device back to 2.2 Froyo (at least before they're equipped with the new ROM in their recovery kits, which could have happened already, I don't know...) I haven't done that yet, but I've been thinking about it because it seems to be the only way to get root access on 2.3.5, if you get in there and manually tweak the SU so it will "hold" over with the update. (But then again, someone recently posted that this method didn't work for them, but like 10 pages back I think we've got reports of it working from multiple people).

By the way, if anyone trying to figure out a way to root the XPRT on 2.3.5 needs any help with resources, like uploading files from the phone, just let us know. Thanks!

Afraid of updating by XPRT to GB 2.3.4

Hi,

I am outside of the US right now. I received the message from Motorola in regards of updating the ROM on this phone (to GB 2.3.4); I know the upgrade fixes some of the bothering issues Froyo 2.2 presents but at this point I am afraid of updating my phone since I've been reading there is no way to root this ROM version on the XPRT model. For me it's a must to root the ROM because I faced the "loop at Sprint network verification screen" on booting process when I received the phone and I just could fix it rooting the phone by that time.

System version ID downloaded (but not yet installed): Blur_Version.4.1.110.MB612.Sprint.en.US.zip

Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for any help or clue you can provide me on this one :)
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
Well, there's no 100 percent root method for the XPRT on 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) yet, but if you look back about 15 or 20 pages, you'll see some people have had luck with a method that tries to KEEP the root when upgrading from 2.2 to 2.3... (Except there's someone just a few posts back that said it didn't work for him/her.)

However, most people have said that method works for them. I haven't been able to try it since I can't get back to 2.2 Froyo without taking my phone into a Sprint store to get the ROM rolled back. If you can't find the info, post back and I'll try looking back through this thread later to see if I can find it. But like I said, since it's not a guaranteed thing, you might not even want to try it if you absolutely can't go without root access.

Otherwise, I'm assuming that now that the update was finally released through the Sprint, it's only a (short) matter of time before someone finds a root exploit. I'm guessing that the reason one hasn't been found yet is because there hasn't been as much demand for it, since the only people who were running 2.3.5 early were the ones who installed the leak (which was probably less than 1 percent of XPRT users). I'm crossing my fingers that we'll have a root fix in the next week or two...
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
I am trying to put together a root guide, if I can get it to work. Is there a download link for official Sprint 2.3.5 sbf file? (Not the Boost one provided by surfturtle)
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Go look at android central. I believe they had one.
[Droid Pro General] bogeyman44:
That one is BOOST that surfturtle used to convert to sbf, from enc.

I also need SPRINT sbf, please!

Or only SPRINT baseband.

GSM is not working properly on Boost ROM, I think only 900 MHz band works so-so, but not 2100 MHz.

Froyo bootloader could come handy, too, for downgrading to Froyo.

Lots of us GSM users who tried Boost ROM are now stuck...
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
You can get thee baseband from Sprint's update.zip
[Droid Pro General] bogeyman44:
OK, that's good.

Did somebody find a way to push it to the xprt?
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
Well i flashed the gingerbread's baseband on my XPRT. No GSM.

I also flashed the Froyo's baseband. No GSM too.
[Droid Pro General] bogeyman44:
How did you flash it?

I actually have gsm, but very selective, I think I get only 900 MHz band.

The operator I'm using work on 2100 MHz only.

Therefore, maybe it will work for me?

I also got RadioComm utility, but have yet to find out how to use it.
[Droid Pro General] rongsang:
1. I extracted the bp.img from the update.zip and made an update.zip with only the bp.img and flashed it.

2. You can also flash the Froyo sbf first. This will give a bootloader error. Then you can flash the Boost gingerbread sbf. You will still have the froyo baseband when done.
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
Guys I know this is off topic of the gsm stuff right now. But is it just me or should this phone be running 4.0 and up? Instead of these crappy gingerbread and froyo builds? I hate froyo and gingerbread. And the motoblur makes me wanna throw this out a window.
[Droid Pro General] bogeyman44:
If it is not the baseband, what is it then? RIL?
[Droid Pro General] lord dredd:
You are not the only one mate.

We all feel like that.

See Motorola,s track record is very very bad as far as software updates are concerned.

Xprt guys should consider themselves lucky that they got gingerbread. Lol Motorola sat on it for months.

About ICS and jb , it could be possible only if there were developers for this phone, which is unfortunately not the case.

Keep your fingers crossed that some one starts to port or develop custom ICS or jb builds.
