[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
I was having problems connecting to Sprint's network. When I did the SBF everything worked fine.

Yay said that (with regards to the sbf) you do not need to flash 154 prior to flashing this newest sbf. I'm not sure if the same applies to the deoxed update. I'd say play it safe and do the latest sbf first but I'm no dev.

I get errors when I try to update to red theme in CWM. I've tried romracer's photon-1.2, photon-1.3, and photon-2. They all give the same error. I guess the theme is broken somehow. That or my computer is not downloading it correctly.

Update:

I was wrong. I believed I had fixed the data issue but i still dont have 3g.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
I flashed the sbf and then flashed update also and I don't have data either.
[Motorola Photon 4G] stesh725:
same here just noticed there is no data connection....i was connected to wifi when i flashed but i just turned it off and found no data??
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
I was having trouble connecting to data after the update1024.zip. Just flashed back to the Update1002.zip or the 198_6 update and I now have data.
[Motorola Photon 4G] edgemaster191:
No data on the mobile network here either.

Flashed the update1024 over 198_6
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
I haven't flashed the update 1024 just the sbf 198_7 and data works. Must be something in the update file.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
What's in the update file anyway? Anything that makes it necessary?
[Motorola Photon 4G] BrianTDI:
Im have some confusion here.

Did a hard reset and flashed the 198_6 sbf a couple weeks ago.

I then rooted it with OCR. Everything is peachy.

My question is : What does Update1024 do? Is that sort of a patch over 198_6 that can only be applied in CWM? Does the same thing go with the yay4red theme?
[Motorola Photon 4G] agrenwa:
First 198_6 is not the latest, read the OP to find out that 198_7 is the latest, and the update is suppose to deodex and zipalign the the 198_7 sbf so it could be themed. but as of now it seems that flashing the update breaks 3g so I would hold off flashing the update untill yay can fix it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ORam78:
Same here, I'll stick with this one. Been working fine the whole time I flashed it
[Motorola Photon 4G] BrianTDI:
My real confusion is the update process for the full "Yay4Juggs experience".

So it is flash the latest sbf, then apply the update.zip via CWM, then apply the theme zip via CWM. Correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] agrenwa:
that is correct except you should also be able to flash the update and theme with bootstrap recovery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
I ended up deodexing using x ultimate unlock bootloader with the 1mb unlock only ... Flashed kernel I'm good to go now
[Motorola Photon 4G] pswin09:
For those who want to use deodexed rom, download yay's rom and copy apps and frame wrok... place apps to inside done_app(need to creat new folder) and framework to done_frame folder..... place this two folders to your phone internal storage... then run below command from computer....

adb shell

su (note: super user will be promp on your phone)

stop

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/

cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

rm /system/app/*.odex

rm /system/framework/*.odex

mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

reboot

After reboot enjoy deodrxed rom...This is the way I've ever do whenever I feel lazy to do manual deodexing.Hee... good?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
Sorry if this has already been answered, but I searched this thread, the xda forums and tried googling, but I can't find the changelog for the new SUN-198_7 sbf.

Is there an official or even unofficial changelog for this update?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
No. No word on that yet Dev.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
not good...you're likely to brick someone's phone with that...or blk is 0p12 not 1p21 the 1 indicates storage

mount -o rw,remount -t emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/

cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/

rm /system/app/*.odex

rm /system/framework/*.odex

mount -o ro,remount -t emmc /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 /system

reboot
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
for those with connectivity issues can you please try replacing the updater script in the meta folder of the rom with this one and try flashing again please
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
red theme fixed should flash with both bootstrap and cwm
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Ill try later. Gotta go get my copy of battlefield 3 today.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
I thought about getting this but mw3 is coming here soon....
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
I am a battlefield fan. MW3 is awesome too, but I think the graphics and realism in battlefiled 3 are what does it for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
come on guys we're all game geeks here but lets keep this on topic...and ftr...COD owns!
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Haha. Always a COD fan wherever you go. Flashing now will let you know.

---------- Post added at 06:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 PM ----------

Worked like a charm. Thanks YaY.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Has anyone fixed the update data issue? I should ask rather has anyon applied Yays fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Look at the post above yours. lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
That doesn't tell me much except you flashed something. But it leads to assumptions as to which you flashed. I was asking specifically about the update file causing issues and if anyone had applied the fix to that. ;]
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Download the updater script on page 98 and replace the updater script in the 1024 update file with it. Then place on sd card and flash. It fixes the data.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Sweet deal. i gotta get around to this I think. I just don't wanna get rid of my ROM I'm running. Haha. Oh well. I probably will. Thanks Bud.

---------- Post added at 08:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

Just so I'm on the right page. We still gotta RSD the SBF file to get to 198_7 then flash the update zip in CWM? And the updater script should be put into the update zip folder correct? I haven't messed with this at all. haven't updated. Heh.
[Motorola Photon 4G] legend_jo:
Noob question here.

I fudged my webtop files, and now cannot run the OTA. Will flashing this file restore the original webtop files and allow me to start getting future OTA again?

thnx
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
To be honest I never tried to make an internet call on VoIP before the MR, so I'm not sure if the FCs were there already or not.

Also, not sure if this was just a fluke or what, but after a phone call this morning, I noticed my battery dying very quickly (almost 1% every 2-3 minutes). Sure enough, once I checked battery usage, "voice call" was at the very top, like I had never hanged up or something. It indicated over 2 hours of calling when my call might have been 5 minutes top...

A reboot seemed to fix the issue, but the only calls I've made since then were via BT, so I'll have to monitor the battery usage after a call on speaker/handset.
[Motorola Photon 4G] coldblooded79:
Any luck on the pre rooted version? I don't have dock:-)

Anyone else having their phone going into data roaming and getting a notification triangle that data services were lost? I never got it before flashing the MR, but am now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dogbone414:
Cant get rsd lite to see my photon to put the file on my phone. I got the file downloaded the 64file bit drivers and put phone in rsd mode nothing. Maybe i have wrong drivers idl please help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dogbone414:
Maybe i got wrong link for 64 bit drivers does someone have them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dogbone414:
I just cant get rsd to recognize my photon

please help i have windows 7 64 bit.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jayfitt:
So, for some reason the flash failed. Now I can't get back into RSD mode....

EDIT: Never mind, if I let it sit long enough it starts RSD mode automatically. I'm gonna download again, make sure it's not corrupted.

UPDATE: Re-downloaded and flashed successfully.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
I wasn't meaning anything bad by it, just that all the links are bad, and the one that was good didn't mention anything about photon at all. The file was called sun fire or something. Was just saying I'll stick with what I got until there is an official release or someone makes a better tut, with proper links. That is all.

Dj-
[Motorola Photon 4G] donniegood:
You do know that the SunFire is what the photon is correct? its a internal codenam... ala Evo=supersonic etc its the correct file or it wouldnt have worked for all of us
[Motorola Photon 4G] Whosdaman:
Sun fire is the internal moto name.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
Flashing MR3 for the first time on my NEW P4G!

For what it's worth, I was able to get the latest RSD Lite here:

http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-2-discussions/8184-dx2-sbf-rsd-lite-5-3-1-drivers.html

Version 5.3.1

However, the USB drivers bundled in that package are NOT the latest. I found Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.2.0 on Motorola's site here:

http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers

Hope this helps the rest of you!

... aaand I'm done. Didn't even have to reactivate (my sales rep even gave me my MSL & MSID without question). Off to get some late night custard, then setting up my HD Dock to root!

The best way to get the MSL from sprint is to tell them your a developer and need it for an app your working on or a student doing the same if they tell you they cant give it too you tell them you have a friend that recently called and got theirs so there must be a way to receive it and they'll give it too you

CONFIRMED WORKING :D

Replaced the update script and flashed VIA CWM *THE RED IS BACK*:cool:
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Should. But I'm not for sure on that. I think the other SBF takes you back to stock, so I'm assuming this will do the same. But don't quote me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jfdebo779:
Flash the new sbf.

then take the updater script from its folder after you download it.

replace the updater script in the 1024 update with the new one.

then put the 1024 update folder with the new script in it on your sd card and flash it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Sweet. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
Hi all - quick question.

I'm currently rooted & unlocked with CWM Recovery, running a much older custom ROM (SW 2.6), but I'd really like to jump catch up with the latest that Moto's released.

Please correct me if I'm wrong... but if I am following everything correctly, can I just flash Yay's Deodexed/Zipaligned ROM? And by doing so, I should loose root (no biggie) but retain CWM Recovery & unlocked bootloader?

As opposed to using RSD to load the full sbf file, after which I believe I'll have to re-root, re-install CWM Bootstrap, and optionally re-unlock my bootloader?

Thanks in advance for the clarification!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
it's really not that simple as the latest sbf provides you with updated radios and webtop partitions that the rom cannot. so it is in your best interest to just start with the latest sbf then re root and then re unlock so as to be certain you have all the fixes that come with the sbf
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
Excellent - thank you for the clarification!
[Motorola Photon 4G] stesh725:
No prob....hope everything is good....and thank u for all the hard work
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
Hey Juggs, hope everything's well with your bro... I'm running 198_7 and have been since the day you posted it with no problems at all except the persistent low-bitrate mono streaming audio bug. Just an FYI--I did see an unofficial reference to 198_8 in a lapdock thread in the Moto support forums, so you might tweak your "source" to see if it's out there. I'll be glad to be the guinea pig :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:
My boy was telling me about that .. Hard it was like speed improvements .. I can ask him about it later

[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
Hello all, I am on the "Homebase ROM" and have been since I got the phone. I would like to try this ROM out but was wondering if I install this will it break my "Unlocked" I know it breaks root but easliy fixed. I am using CWM 4.0.1.5. I like the fact that you can make a full image backup and restore the whole thing if you mess up. :-)

(I know it probalble says somewhere in the post about breaking or not breaking "Unlocked" but I got lazy going threw all the post) sorry. Thanks in advance
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Flashing the rom will not break unlock but i do recommend a full wipe before flashing this rom
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
Hey sorry to bother but I have a question.

I saw that you had a stock rom available. If I am root can't I just flash that stock rom and not got the RSDlite process.
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
Thanks juggs I always do a full wipe too. I will be flashing tonight
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
Is your bootloader unlocked?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
As i stated previously the benefits of flashing the sbf first gives you updated fixes and updated radios as well as the latest webtop partition.

Juggs, I have a Lapdock 100 coming Monday, so I'll let you all know how the Webtop partition works out...

Except for additional HW support for the 100/500 lapdock you will not notice any difference between the old webtop (WT-1.2.0-135) and the new webtop (WT-1.2.0-160). The only thing I've seen so far is the "not optimized" notification when using the Atrix lapdock. In fact, the osh dump is within a few MB of WT-1.2.0-135.

Anyone notice a decreased number of GPS satellite locks on 198_7 vs 198_6? On both GPStest and gpsstatus apps, I get 11/11 satellite locks on _6 vs 4/7 on version _7. Coming from the original Epic, I love having a fully functional gps, so I'm always checking gps stats:D
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
No--I've seen up to 11 satellites with 198_7.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:

I have a question, i'm new to this phone. Can i just install the 1024 update with the bootstrap way?

Thanks in advance. I was looking to see if someone said anything about it but couldnt find anything.

Again thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
What build are you on? Are you rooted and unlocked?
[Motorola Photon 4G] apatcas:
rooted and bootstrapped but not unlocked. i need the 4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] Beknatok:
I am presuming you're stock otherwise, correct?

Then no. The 1024 update does not include things like changes to the radio.

You'll just want to apply the SBF, re-root via Torpedo, & reinstall Bootstrap CWM for good measure.

Here is Yay's reply to me, which effectively pertains to your question as well:

Hey is anyone have problem getting root back because my devices. I have to flash system.img from the other forum and it slows my devices down a lot.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
When I flashed this I had no problem getting root back. And why are you flashing the system.img?
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
To get root because AIO wouldnt work. Bc I used the system.img to push the root.

Is it best to get root before before you open the bloatloader.

What methods are you doing to get it root back?

Are you using pudding to open the bloatloader?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I'm using the stock pudding unlock with the photon torpedo root method. Before or after unlock root works for me with torpedo. So you may give that a try.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mecksg1:
can we still unlock after this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
The easiest way to to root is to unlock and flash skinny/jokerstock :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Unlock after what?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mecksg1:
can we flash this thru cwm?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
No. You need to use RSD
[Motorola Photon 4G] mecksg1:
ok then is there a system.img file that i can use that will keep me at this and noty knock me back to 45.2.5 when i do fastboot to install cwm? or can i make one?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
If you flash one of jokers ROM's those are built off 198 not 154. So shouldn't need to.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mecksg1:
But i need to have cwm installed thou right to flash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
yes that is correct
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
You betcha. But once you get it squared away, you'll be happy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mecksg1:
so i have this updated on my phone and rooted. im going to unlock and add cwm like i did before. the proub i have is that it will knock me back to 45.2.5 instead of 45.3.7. is there a fix for that or will joker rom fix it?

this is the methoed i use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfJJ0h4d-80 i did use the aio root

is there a better one with an update or is that it

ok. just had a very bad blond moment. got cwm running now. just needed to fastboot and flash it sence i was unlocked already. i give permission to laught and make fun of me
