im workign on wading through all 116 pages the thread, but the mopho forums seem to have gone belly up, anyone got a link to the 198_7 file, im chomping at the bit to flash something (just moved to the photon from the OG evo yesterday, so im a certified flash a holic) so im trying to dig up the 198_7 file so i can flash that.

***Edit***

i have found it rehosted on some russian site, size is 410mb and change though, which seems larger then the 404 i thought i saw mentioned elsewhere.

does anyone have and md5 sum for the 198-7 update?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
198_7 is enough. 1024 is a deodexed rom for themes

Has anyone experienced Random Reboots on 198_7? What if anything changed and/or differs from 198_6?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ORam78:
Only problem I continue to have is when music plays from the speaker while the audio jack is also connected. No reboots though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:

removing root

i just hard reset the phone whenever i update the rom & its unrooted like new, i always just clean everything out so that i have no problems and google backs up some of the basic apps info so i just reinstall my apps again with all my settings right where i left off,
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
To remove root access, simply follow the steps in this video.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jreuschl:
Is anyone having phone call audio problems with this ROM? There's been a couple of times where I haven't heard the caller, nor have they heard me.. just dead on both sides. Rebooting fixes it.

I know there was an audio problem initially with this phone, but I don't think it applied to both sides of the conversation, right?

I had just received my Photon about a month ago and immediately put this ROM on, so I had no prior experience with any "bugs"
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
No issues, but try flashing jokers skinny ROM...it's great
[Motorola Photon 4G] johnvicencio:
Is this the file to "unroot"?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Can I flash jokers skinny rom the same way I flashed the latest sbf?
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
No...you flash sbfs with rsdlite and flash ROM s through cwm recovery.

Going back to SUN-154_5

I've had 198_7 (with fix) for 2 weeks now and I swear my phone is possessed.

- It keeps vibrating at random times when I'm holding it and not even touching the screen.

- WIFI keeps getting lost even while standing next to the router. If I simply open the Wifi Settings menu, it kicks it into gear.. but then after being off for a while.. it drops it until I open that menu again.

It is completely stock except for Bootstrap recovery

Had no problems with 154_5
[Motorola Photon 4G] zeguym:
Is sun-154_5 is stock firmware ?

Where i can download this firmware ?

Link for 198_7 in first page is suspend.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dogbone414:
It will not recognize my phone on rsd please help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Unistall the drivers then reinstall and make sure you're holding vol up and power should say tsd support protocol or something very similar
[Motorola Photon 4G] dogbone414:
I tried to everything reinstall drivers held vol up rsd starting it says rsd does not do anything
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cubfan99:
Hmm, does this fix the black levels on the display for video?

Better color depth for displaying gradients without banding?

Random times where the screen stops responding to touch on certain icons?

Application updates that don't update... Being stuck in "installing" mode?

Hope so, for at least some of these, or I may have to return.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Out of the box I think call quality is weird I can hear myself talking a lot. Is that normal even after the flash update?

No but be patient I'm sure something will come along. Also what phone were you thinking about swapping to?
[Motorola Photon 4G] randomrobbi:
Anyone else having there phone going to Domestic Roaming after flashing the update? I flashed it yesterday and now my phone keeps going into domestic roaming, at places it was not going into domestic roaming in before.

In fact its doing it in places where my previous phones have never roamed which really surprises me because I have had awesome signal strength on my photon since sunday when picking it up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gooji:
Hi all,

i applied the update, everything went smoothly.

On reboot , all my apps and screens were as before, so did not lose any apps or data.

Is there anywhere to check, if the update applied?

thanks

Need help put the 64 bit drivers on my pc downloaded the rsd lite to my computer. Put the file fix on my pc. Put the phone in rsd mode pluged the phone in my pc. Rsd lite will not recognize my phone to start the file to be put on my phone why? I have windows 7 64 bit edition.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
About phone section look for mr3
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Try reinstalling drivers
[Motorola Photon 4G] codee:
That's like that on purpose. Landline phones play your voice in the earpiece as well. I personally like it like this...but it isn't a "call quality " issue, its just how it is. Most phones seem to have done away with that feature so you may not be used to it anymore.

[Motorola Photon 4G] randomrobbi:
would doing a factory data reset bring me back to factory software before flashing the MR? I keep roaming when I was not roaming since sunday and i think the MR is causing it for me. Unsure though, but in addition my data is much slower on 3G in my area now and its not on my friends photon side by side and he has not flashed the MR.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mzahiri:
No a factory reset will not bring you back to the pre MR update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mzahiri:
Also, just wanted to say thanks to Yay 4 Juggs for providing us with this update. I'm looking forward to seeing a prerooted version as well.

For my experience, I simply downloaded the 64bit drivers from moto directly since the download link just points to softpedia for now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] randomrobbi:
is there anyway to do that at this time?
[Motorola Photon 4G] wmstwo002:
Yes, this will remove root and restore to stock.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
I downloaded the file (the only one that would download was the update 1024) and there is no sbf in it. I also downloaded another I found (1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US) and when trying to get it to go in rsdlite I get this error in this screenshot.

Now I'm assuming that since it says esn, technology, software versions etc. as all n/a that it doesn't recognize my phone?? but it says phone connected.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ekrainey:
Can't read your error code from the pic. But make sure you have rsd 5.3.9

I was using just 5.0 last night and it kept saying sunfire not supported
[Motorola Photon 4G] TexasRebel:

I've applied this swf and am having some instability problems. In addition, the Android Market no longer recognizes as compatible an app that it allowed me to download earlier.

Somewhere in this thread there was mention of an earlier version, from which one could install the current OTA. Can someone refer me to where I could get that earlier version?

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cad-kong:
my question is, how is this supposed to work with flashing on RSD if the sbf file isn't even in there??? i've tried a few times already and get the same error message... "no supported files in the zip file."

im lost on this one... =\
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Unzip the file.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cad-kong:
the file has already been unzipped and selected through RSD... even then i still look for the sbf file and its not there... is there a file im not seeing that its under or something??? i'd like to get it done today if possible cuz now i cant get any roaming at all... accidently unchecked all the things in roaming settings and now i cant turn them back on... plus i need to get the update regardless... so any help is appreciated...
[Motorola Photon 4G] JonandRoid:
yeah id like an answer to this and the correct .sbf file..not some zip that RSD wont recognize..never seen a "sbf" like this before...thanks for ALL the help devs, greatly apprectate it...:mad:...why is there no support or much action for this phone...kinda upsetting...

[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
Does anyone know where I can get a working link for 198_6? The one on page 108 is down. This is just in case I need to revert. Seems that after rooting, and also 198_7, it says "check for update is unavailable at this time, please try again later"
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
www.holylivingfuck.com/ACS/SBFs

if anyo0ne has some files they think i should mirror lemme know
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
Yeah, 198_6, someone needs to find that. I'm not sure if my phone had 154_5, it did an update as soon as it activated to 198_6. If I tire of trying to find a good ROM, I want to go fully stock, including totally locked (I really don't know what ROM to use, what ROM is better, most stable, ect)

Apparently after unlocking your phone using the two step, pudding unlock and fastboot unlock, that if you install a stock ROM and then unlock it again using the pudding unlock, fastbook unlock will tell you its already unlocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Will repost upload when ready..sorry about that..
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
actually ws gunna ask where to find it, that link 404'd on me
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I think it's still uploading...I'll repost the link when it's ready..

Still syncing..wtf...
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
ah ok, im downloading 198_5 right now. filefactory sucks (same goes for any of those other craptastic sites...) people need to use multiupload or mirrorcreator :P

dropbox is nice but you run out of bandwidth real quick leaving people with dead links

and thanks much for uploading it for me :) as soon as i have a copy of it ill upload it so everyone can be able to get them anytime they need from a nice fast connection :)

my hosting has unl bandwidth and space so no worries guys :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
Oh, I did find that if you revert to 154_5, the phone does two updates to get to current. A ~7MB download to flash 154_6, then a ~70MB download to flash 198_6

[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Uploading this SBF took forever, nearly 45-50 mins...LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] cad-kong:
this is exactly what i was looking for... THANK YOU!!! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] glock20c:
that's what I did ...198_7 was acting funny on my Phone...random lockups...
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
What do you mean by random lockups? I'm wondering of you were experiencing the same thing I am.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
Could we actually flash this through CWM?? or does it have to be done from rsd lite and then the unlock process has to be done again??
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Rsd brotha...you can't flash SBFs thru cwm. As far as I know....
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Unlock thru rsd as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
I figured it had to be done through rsd, but how do you unlock in rsd?? last time I had to do it in fastboot. I'm just getting way too many FC on jokers 1.3 oc rom (gallery, phone, groupme, etc. all FC and I need something different.) so I want to just go stock and unlock again or flash a rom from CWM so I don't have to unlock again.

And do you kow where the latest rsd is?? it took me like 3 hours to find it at work, every link I found was broken. But I'm at home and I don't have rsd here to flash this with.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
there should be the link to flash the unlock file...it should be called derpunlock or something like that. Flash via rsd.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
The latest rad? Google it...you should find it....look for rsdlite 5.6.
[Motorola Photon 4G] glock20c:
sometimes i would wake the phone ..and it would get stuck on my home screen

touch pad would not work ...and I'd have to reboot to fix...and at times 4g would not come out of sleep mode

I'm only Rooted..never messed with bootloader
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
Hey KTT16, I downloaded your version the 198_6 and when I try to extract or open it in rsd it says it's an invalid compression format. Any ideas??
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Hmmmm....thats weird...you extracted the sbf from the zip right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
Yeah I ended up getting it to work with the 198_7 build. So far I haven't had any issues. At least my gallery works now
[Motorola Photon 4G] stricklerjosh:

you can find most of teh files here http://www.holylivingfuck.com/ACS/SBFs :)

im actually considering opening a new SBF/files thread where all the important stuff can be kept rather then having people go thru so many pages trying to find a mirror...
[Motorola Photon 4G] stricklerjosh:
Hey can I pm you some questions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Thinking the same thing. I have no problem duplicating Bandage's dead thread and merging the sbf list thread. Also have no problem keeping it updated and hosting the files on my site. We just need to get it sticked. If I ever get the site up I can duplicate it there as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Have moved the mirrors to the front.

I will keep an eye on this thread and keep the mirrors coming as the Photon forum has been the best and friendliest so far :)

This 198_7.SBF successfully flashed my phone with RSDLite. The process went OK and the new build appears in the about phone info. HOWEVER, the phone is not back to stock, I still have all the custom wallpapers and apps there, even contacts, .. am I missing something ?

[Motorola Photon 4G] studentjunk:
Yes, you are missing something. The sbf replaces the 'system' only. The changes you have are stored in the data portion. It does not wipe data if you just flash the sbf.

[Motorola Photon 4G] JustSomeDude:
clarification?

I asked this in another thread, so I apologize for asking again... but I've been reading and reading as much as I can and I'm still really unclear: is 198_7 a software version that Sprint just never released? If so, why wasn't it every released? What are the differences from 198_6?

Background again: I just got my Photon about a week or two ago, ran all the updates, and it is on 198_6. I've been pretty happy with it (rooted, but still locked, w/ go launcher), but I was thinking of trying the notification toggle mod and the battery percent mod through bootstrap... and I see both are based off 198_7... so I assume I need to flash this before trying those, right? Or am I missing something else I need to know?

TIA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scott2020:
You would do this after you flash this ROM? Say someone coming from Joker's CM9 and wanted to go back to stock? Probably could also flash the nandroid of the stock I'm sure I took before messing with anything :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] jeffrimerman:
This is probably mentioned way back, but will it also re-lock and remove the recovery back to stock? Or will I still be unlocked bootloader with clockwork mod still on it. I just want a stock rom with less bloatware. I'm guessing this still has all the bloatware. I need too give it to my friend so he can activate later. I have CM7.2 now.
