I'm not using a ROM manager. Just a straight-up update, which leads me to believe that it's the one being tested or which will be released. Yes, just follow the steps, just make sure that meet precondition of unrooted, stock phone. It kept all of my apps, etc., but after I installed, I did a factory reset since I wanted to start from scratch anyway.

I think that some people have reported keeping root after upgrading, so if you want root (and there is no documented root on this version yet), then you may want to see about that.

Finally, I guess I could call and get the premium data fee waived, but who knows if they will do that for me.

Good luck.
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
Yeah, the root thing is what I was wondering about... If someone else knows the answer to this, could you please reply?

The instructions say the phone should be stock (or rather, have the stock recovery record, which I'm assuming is the stock ROM partition with the original firmware on it)... But it doesn't specifically say whether or not the phone needs to be unrooted.

(And as far as the "log wrapper," I'm not even sure what that is.)

But as far as my phone, the only "customizations" I've done to it is rooting it (SuperOneClick) and installing that "Supercharger" mod (which is essentially a script). Anyone know if either of these would cause problems?

And would it be safer just to unroot the device and live without Titanium Backup until the official GB firmware comes out?

Thanks...

So my wife has a stock Motorola XPRT running 4.1.15.MB612 on Sprint. It alerts us that there is an update 4.1.110.MB612 available (which according to Moto's website was released in April of 2011 and 4.1.15 released in June 2011?). It downloads, reboots, shows the Android guy, then boots back in to Android eventually saying update failed. I toss the 2.3.5 GB update.zip from earlier in this thread onto the SD card, go into stock recovery and select apply sdcard:update.zip and it begins before erroring out. It last shows this:

" | | file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "sprint/moto_mb612/cdma_kronos:2.3.5/4.5.1-110-kns-46/49:user/release-keys"

E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/caller

Considering I also can't install the 4.1.110 update, I'm not quite sure what's going on here. There is plenty of space on the SD card and the phone has been running fine otherwise. Any ideas? I've redownloaded the update.zip from the link provided in the forum as well but no love. Any help would be much appreciated.

Gents,

I use XPRT Sprint 2 months. A week days ago I rooted it, did backup by Titanium, started Sprint apps removing. Then when reboot, my Moto stuck on the loop of Sprint network searching. And there is no Airplane mode on Froyo to skip it. After Hard Reset I tried to install GB from this source, but no success. All stopping with E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/caller – same as abhorrentbm wrote in the previous post.

Assumed corrupted file while downloading; downloaded update.zip file from mediafire 4 times, but all was the same.

I’m still on the same loop and it looks like dead end for me. Anyone knows what to do? Actually, I need to bypass Sprint network search only… Appreciate very much any assistance.
[Droid Pro General] abhorrentbm:
Also, when doing the stock 4.1.15 to 4.1.110 update, the below error comes up

Actually I also faced something similar

When I properly flashed the update.zip nothing happened it got aborted and I am still on froyo

Lost Loud Speaker

Hi guys, I got a XPRT and very happy with it, but after 6 hours of normal use I discovered it has lost its loud speaker. So ringtone, no notification, only vibration.

It had ringtone and played music normally before that.

I haven't installed any new app on my phone yet, I've been too busy with reorganizing my contact list.

I checked all the sound options in the setting and in the music player app.

I did battery pull and left 10 minutes before turn it on again , and factory reset, didn't help.

It has sound if I use headphone, I can hear music from the music player and ringtone preview.

Is my loud speaker dead?
[Droid Pro General] BlackFire27:
More than likely yes. If you just recently bought it, bring it back ASAP for a replacement.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
So I have the XPRT for boost and was wondering if there was a way to flash it back to the gingerbread that was linked to in these posts?

I am very new with android phones but I am very capable of doing this stuff. I know there is no root for the 2.3.5 that I am stuck with right now. Any advice would be greatful.
[Droid Pro General] lord dredd:
Well the update should be straight forward , many have already done it buy somehow mine didnt happen like others It just aborted and I am still on froyo

But the process is same for all,

Here is the link Which in turn has been taken from this thread actually, outlines all the steps.

Couldn't locate it over phone , will add the xda link later.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
Mine keeps aborting as well. I was thinking is the SBF that has been released for the Sprint phone the same? If so I have RSDlite and could flash that way?
[Droid Pro General] esoh:
Post #303 has a guy who kept root after doing the upgrade. You may want to PM him.

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 AM ----------

Did you try clearing caches through stock recovery? I don't know what else it could be. It says that you need the latest build to upgrade to GB, so that might be an issue too.

If you read through this whole thread, there are instructions on how to bypass Sprint network search.
[Droid Pro General] Letsgo1:
Hi guys,

I fixed my problem of stuck on loop of Sprint network search as I wrote a few posts ago.

Many thanks to Cutung.

I did everything as Cutung wrote in post #250 with only difference that rom I took from here:

mod2xtreme.com/showthread.php?12634-Finally-a-xprt-sbf-!

I saw a lot of other people with the same problem, so go ahead, this works!

Good luck.

Not sure why but when I ran the update.zip it bricked on me.

[Droid Pro General] lord dredd:
That's pretty serious, I don't think I am gonna take any chance with that zip file now.

If any good gent out there got a clue about how we can do it safely plz reply.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
It may have been a one time deal, I really don't know for sure as I have no other phones to test it on at the moment.

If it has only bricked 2 phones chances are slim it will anyone else's, I guess the moon and stars weren't aligned for me today. Guess I have to wait for a stock Boost Xprt SBF now. =/
[Droid Pro General] lord dredd:
Understandable

But the thing is I have already flashed it once and it errored out on me while flashing , lol still on that crappy and laggy froyo.
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
Well I would wait then for sure. Guess it won't hurt to try other SBFs now to see if any of them will work lol

Hey there

Umm I guess all of us who are new to the xprt are gonna appreciate immensely if one of the experienced members out there can make A tutorial about rooting the device , updating it , backing it up and all the related stuff like the gb leak flash and how to keep the root despite going to gb, and some other stuff that us newbies should be aware of.

IMPORTANT

Guyz i had to get a replacement of my XPRT owing to a issue.

Coulod u guyz tell me if you also see a chnage in text color when you scroll vertically yours screen as in

Settings > scroll up down quickly .

mine changes its hue to dark pink, is this normal coz the issue is there in the second handset as well .

regards

EDIT : also

atm

i am on baseband

n_01.17.00s.a1

Kernel

2.6.32.9-g03645d

system version

4.1.15.MB612.sprint.en.us

build number

KRNS-X41.1.5

the phone atm is being used with a gsm operator outside US

so i wanted to know what is the latest official update for this and how can it be updated in offline mode
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
I am on the Boost Version of the phone, but I never had any issues with the phone chaning hues while in any menus. I do believe you have all the official updates for the phone. I will look into it more this afternoon, I know that Gingerbread has been added to the phones but I am not sure if it was an official update or someone patched it to work with the XPRT.

I am about 80% sure the update.zip file on the previous page that Lord Dredd linked me to will work on Sprint phones with out a hitch. I believe the only reason mine bricked is because of the heavy modifications that boost have done to the SBF to suit their phones. If you would like to try that it is a very straight forward update.

Just download the file to the root of the SD card.

Restart your phone in recovery mode.

I think Sprints is hold down Power and Camera as it is shutting down.

When back on at the Exclamation screen hit the @ button.

Then choose update from zip and it should work.
[Droid Pro General] lord dredd:
wow , id dint expect it ,

but Motorols still lets us update over wifi even if you are not in the countrty :P

i have just rooted and just for the heck of it tried to see if there is any update and it says YES

so the prompt is about the update from

4.1.15 to 4.1.110

wanted to ask , should i unroot myself by doing a factory reset and then update it

or the update can be done in the 2.2.2 rotted state as well,

reason i am asking is cant afford a bricked handset atm

Edit

Call me impatient , but I did a factory reset by going into privacy and now from past half an hour this phone is contacting network, it used to be like five to ten minutes earlier but this tome its too much.

Any clue what I can do.

Regards
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
If you turn on airplane mode for a few, should be like 10 mins. It will give you a network contact error, then turn airplane back off and try it again. That should take care of that part.

As for the update, if you update it will unroot the phone, the next update you receive should be the Gingerbread 2.3.5 and you can use super1click for the root on the sprint phones.
[Droid Pro General] esoh:
Do you have specific instructions for using superoneclick on a stock GB update to root. I know people have tried with no luck.
[Droid Pro General] cutung:
Yes, SuperOneClick can not root GB 2.3.5 if update.zip. Error step #7..and SOC stop working...My XPRT is bricked, so i can't try the ways to root. Hope the stock SBF GB will release soon....
[Droid Pro General] lord dredd:
Thanks for the suggestion mate , actually i am aware of that ,

the thing was that after doing the factory reset , the option to go into the AIRPLANE mode was gone in the power menu, it was only a one off SHUTDOWN option in there

Anyways Thanks to the feedback from letsgo1 and the smllish tutorial by cutung on page 250

I flashed the latest froyo on my xprt.

Had a relief coz the phone was just looping on sprint activation .

What I did wrong was I did a factory reset while being rooted on froyo stock .15 , the phone boot looped as the phone was not in sprint coverage. Just wanted to update folks who after rooting might try a factory reset.

Also the rom I used was the latest ( lol released in June 2011 ) .110 ,

So officially I am on latest setup.

Now the queries parts for the experienced execs

1.. how to turn off the soft key vibration feedback, coz despite turning the feedback option off in sounds its not going and i hate any virations in the phone apart from when it rings for a call ;)

2.. As OTA updates are possible on Wi-Fi even if you are not in the country, can i/we safely update to GB as an when it comes, or it will again put us in network search ( sprint activation) boot loop upon first boot.

ProTips.apk

Can anyone extract Protips.apk from System\Apps and upload it? Tried using the one found from a stock Droid Pro rom but it still errors out on that part. When I had a look apparently I was missing it (I now believe this phone was rooted prior to me having it.). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Droid Pro General] liudongmiao:
just upload the apk and odex~
[Droid Pro General] liudongmiao:
if you have read my post, you should have found that there is a way to keep it root, or just search keep root in the play store..

how it works?

cause the file system is ext3, which supports something like file attributes..

and when the file has the immutable(i) attribute, no one can delete or change mode.

so just run chattr +i /path/to/file before accept the ota upgrade.
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
Hey guys, quick suggestion about the GB update for those who can't get it working, and a question...

So if the update is just failing for you, did any of you notice an error message saying that "X" is missing, like one of the pre-loaded apps that come with the phone? That's what was happening to me, but I didn't actually notice the specific error because it was either cycling too fast or I was just being dumb and not paying attention...

In my case, for example, I had uninstalled a couple stock Sprint apps like the "Music Player" and something else. Luckily I had backups of these apps, so after reinstalling them the update worked fine for me. So that's just something you might want to try if it's failing for you... If you know that you've uninstalled/frozen/etc some of the "core" apps that are stored with the ROM, try putting these back on your phone (or flashing to default if you don't have them anymore) and see if it works.

Now, a quick question: Can someone tell me what will happen if I do a hard reset after updating? Will the phone revert back to the default 2.2, or did this update actually modify the ROM?

I need to temporarily go back to 2.2 because I only had a handful of apps that have Superuser permissions (that I previously set up)... It's kinda odd; from what I can tell, some things that require Root still work after the update, but only if you previously allowed access via Superuser or BusyBox or something... I don't really know enough about the OS to know how it works, but basically I just want to revert back to 2.2 for the time being so I can have Root (in fact it might be worth just waiting for the official update from Sprint if it's truly only a couple weeks away)...

If anyone could let me know the answer to this question, I'd appreciate it!

Cheers!
[Droid Pro General] esoh:
I did a hard reset and I maintained the GB upgrade. I believe that it's burned in.
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
Damn... Anyone have any advice or suggestions about the easiest way to get 2.2 back?

Also, when this new update comes out from Sprint, will our phones skip it? Or is this GB update an earlier version than whatever will be deployed by Sprint?
[Droid Pro General] esoh:
My understanding is that it's not possible. I have heard reports that trying to go back bricks it. And as far as getting someone to come up with a way, there's almost no dev support so I don't think you'll get any response. Sorry to burst the bubble, but you probably should just move forward with gb. I hope I'm wrong, but that's just what I'm seeing right now.
[Droid Pro General] Enzopreme:
If anyone is interested I'm willing to pay good money to get some ROMs and possibly more....

Hello, johnsongrantr ! Do you know when does GB sbf release ?

Thanks a lot :)
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
Helo we are aware of this, the only reason this was in this forum is there is no other place for it at them moment. There just aren't any people doing any kind of development for this phone just yet.

Update on mine, I talked to Motorola and told them my phone wouldn't charge and gave me the boot load err. They are replacing it. woot!
[Droid Pro General] johnsongrantr:
I never got accepted into the beta test, maybe they know my phone is already 2.3?? I dont know, never got the email or pm or whatever.

Will have to wait till it gets pushed ota, and even then they might just try and replace it (even though its not broke)
[Droid Pro General] WaxPaper:
You guys have no idea how much I'm missing Root access after updating to the leaked Gingerbread file... Tried restoring my device, but as others have confirmed, the ROM restores the GB update, not the original that came with the phone.

So do we know for a fact that SuperOneClick and any other methods will not work on an updated Sprint XPRT? Do we know if it's actually on the community's "to do" list? If not, I would pitch in for a bounty on this if anyone else is interested... After using a rooted device for a while, having an unrooted one almost feels like it's crippled.

PS: I never got a answer to a previous question I posted... When the new, official GB update finally comes out for Sprint, will those of us who installed the leak be "skipped over" by the OTA update, or will it most likely be a newer version (causing the network to recognize that I'm running an older version number)?

Thanks!
[Droid Pro General] jklung84:
I am not sure about the answers to your questions at the moment, I will do some digging and see if I can find anything for you..

On a happier note, a guy over at Mod2xtreme forums said he has the original sbf for the boost mobile XPRT phones, and I am awaiting him to upload this. If he is telling the truth and posts it for me, I will upload it and share it with you all. Give me till later this evening when I have more time and I will look further into your questions WaxPaper, sorry for the delayed responses.
[Droid Pro General] cutung:
Yes, "toto221" at Mod2xtreme said he would try to upload "1FF-p3_kronos_cdma_kronos-user-2.3.5-4.5.1-KNS-29-BST-15-18-release-keys-signed-Boost-US.sbf" but I don't see anything from him...
[Droid Pro General] esoh:
I have read on this forum and others that Super1Click won't work along with other methods. As much as I've searched and asked, I have not heard of a single instance of getting the GB update rooted unless it was rooted previously. I would also be willing to be part of a bounty, but methinks that there is literally no devs for this device.

As for the official GB update, I'm guessing that anyone who applied the update will not get an OTA. I would not be surprised, though, if the update makes it way to the interwebs as a download that we can apply via recovery. Just a guess, but this would seem logical given past experience.
[Droid Pro General] AMoosa:
I have the Sprint XPRT. I live in the UK and want to turn off all things to do with Sprint and just use it as a plain ol' vanilla GSM phone. Is there a de-sprinted ROM available? Or should I root and disable the Sprint apps? Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks.
[Droid Pro General] esoh:
It depends on what version you are. If you are 2.2, then you can root, install Titanium and uninstall/freeze apps that you don't want. If you need a list, then check out some of the early posts on this thread.

If you are GB, then there is no known root yet and you won't be able to remove Sprint apps until someone roots it.

Just be careful in what you freeze/uninstall since some have noted bricking if you don't do it right.
[Droid Pro General] liudongmiao:
does the vibrator works after the gb upgrade?

So it looks like Motorola is finally supporting official rooting of its devices:

Motorola XPRT Mod to work in US GSM networks

My experience with a Sprint hybrid CDMA/GSM phone is with the HTC Touch Pro 2. The phone is locked in the US to Sprint, but is usable outside the US without any mods needed.

In order to get HTP2 to work in the US you have to both unlock the phone and re-program the radio file to accept US radio towers.

I suspect this type of mods must be done on the Motorola XPRT in order to have it work on US GSM network-- otherwise it'll default to Sprint's CDMA network while in the US.

That's good news actually. I don't intend to use it on any US GSM network... I just want to be able to use any GSM network in Europe, with the SIM of my choice. I'm OK with it defaulting to Sprint's CDMA in the US, I just don't want to pay Sprint's absurd roaming fees abroad.
[Droid Pro General] VegasRooted:
International Use

Yes, I read somewhere credible (on Sprint.com maybe?) that the XPRT is completely unlocked as far as grabbing a local SIM (GSM) card in Europe or wherever and using it in the phone without any modification/unlocking...I haven't tried it with the XPRT yet myself, but I plan to when we go back to Italy later this year...and like others have said, within the U.S. the GSM aspect is apparently locked to Sprint.

Cheers! :)

[Droid Pro General] nispen:
I bought a Droid Pro in the US and imported it into Europe and it ONLY accepted a Vodafone sim.

When I inserted any other sim (eg T-mo Netherlands or KPN) it would show a message "network locked".

Thankfully, Verizon gave me an unlock code and only then would it accept other sim cards.

Verizon tells you you can just pop in any foreign sim, but it just aint true.
