I had debugging on and RSD support loaded up on the phone. Only RSD 5.0 would even install the others gave a package error. I needed to format my computer anyways. Soon as i did RSD 5.5 installed right away and so did the 5.2.1 drivers. I figured it had to be my computer from reading about others having problems with some computers not installing right.

I flashed 154_5 then 168 and then installed bootstrap and got his update1002 installed. Phone was laggy before. My signal is better and everything seems much more responsive. Didnt have to call sprint or anything.

No files in zip ?

I just finished downloading this file(1FF-sunfire-uswer-2.3.4-4.5.1A_SUN-198_6-CM...Sprint-US.zip) and when i try to extract the contents it says the compressed(zipped) Folder is invalid.

I'm on Windows 7...any ideas to what i could be doing wrong?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dougxd:
redownload and use 7zip or winrar instead of winzip (if you're not already). :-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] RockoDev:
how long does the update take because mine is taking hours
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Question....

For anyone with this.....did you come from the Home Base ROM? Are you happier with this? Thanks for the input.
[Motorola Photon 4G] legend_jo:
Still having trouble...

So I tried this download for the 3rd time, i'm using the FileServe link. Again I am having trouble. This time I used Winrar to try and unpack, and got this error:

"Unexpected end of archive"

I can see an SBF file, but am wary about it. It shows a size of 2,440,191,813, and unpacked 484,870036.

Should i try this download again..for a 4th time :(...it's taking about 12 hours each time on T1 line...ridiculous.

Use the links on page 56 if you are having issues
[Motorola Photon 4G] chinchillachubby:
Thank you to all the devs here

I have spent alot of time trying to get sprint to fix my problem about my update not installing. I even had a replacement given to me and the the replacement phone did the thing "update failed to install". I have been on xda since the touch pro to and left for a while. I really didnt want to do any mods to the photon till i got more comfortable with it. However i was left with no choice but to do the sun-198_6 update through here. And just as i suspected the devs on here knew more about this than the dumbasses that get the title of android tech suppor, with the salary of xxx per hour. I am going to donate 50 to each of the devs here on the photon forum to say thank you for all that you do!!!!!

Excuse my post in the developement area
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
For $50, I think you'll find the developers to be more forgiving. :) BTW, the real crime is to start a non-development thread here. Your post was appropriate for this thread.
[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
I looked on page 56 for the link to the 64 bit drivers for RSD lite..

I've also scoured the internet to no avail. Does anyone have a working link to some 64bit drivers ? I'm using 64 bit Win7 Ultimate.

Thanks :)

Glad to see you're back. Hope you're feeling better.

[Motorola Photon 4G] daddymikey1975:
I got the drivers installed, opened up RSD lite, powered my phone off, held vol+ and power until it 'booted'.. the phone then said 'starting RSD protocol' (or something similar).. I plugged it into the computer and RSD failed to recognize it. Even if I hit the 'show phone' button (or whatever it's called.. can't remember because it was late last night)

any ideas ? I've tried a couple different USB cables and ports on my laptop.

I'm using 64bit Win7 Ultimate if it matters.

Thanks for any help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
You did boot into RSD mode and not Fastboot right? I've never actually tried to get my phone to reconize in RSD, but it works in Fastboot with the RSD program. So in theory, it SHOULD in RSD mode. I'm on Windows 7 as well. So I'll try it tomorrow and let you know if I have a similar issue.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Mine will not show anything in the box and will not populate if i push the show phone button. But if you watch in the columns below you will see it will change to connected. This is all that was needed for me to flash.

Hope that helps
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
currently on win7 64bit had no issues flashing 198_7 or rooting last night using drivers and rsd package provided in op
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
Do you have a deodexed stock for 198_7?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
deodexing rom as we speak actually
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:

[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Downloading now. Will it flash over 198_6?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
yup flashed over mine with no wipe at all...and i was rooted!
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
hm, I have no OTA update, it says I'm up to date.
[Motorola Photon 4G] naturecannon:
SO what you see for a screenshot in OP is............ what you see is what you get? Just a theme and only changes home screen. Please excuse my ignorance, dont see much explanation in OP, although maybe not needed if just a home screen and notification skin.

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
no the theme is different from the sbf...what you see in the first screen shot are the updated system details for the device what you see in the second screen shot are for the theme...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
i will excuse you for being new to what i do over here...just because it says you dont have an ota doesnt mean there isnt an update...i provide the said updates well before motorola or sprint makes them available to you and your devices.

Might b a dumb question but do i need to be rooted to apply this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
@yayy

2 questions if I may. :D

Would this override the red theme (on my Photon)

how would one remove the red theme if you wanted too. (my other half doesn't want the red theme on their Photon)

Thanks

[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Just finished mine and no problems - no wipe and rooted. Do you know what changes are in this build?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Will it flash over the 156 build?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
if there were a 156 build im sure it would flash over that too

Does this transform my phone into a real photon laser???

Sorry...I had to..lol

Thanks once again Juggs!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
Has anyone deoxed the latest SBF so I can apply the red theme to it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ORam78:
No problems here also. I'm curious on changes as well. My wifi seems better
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
Yay's working on it
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I maybe having to flash this after all.

Juggs. Whatever the previous build was. 154?

Installed here no problems. Thanks, Juggs--YOU RULE.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
First was 118 then 154 niw 198
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I haven't done any of the updates. Thus why I asked. I recall seeing a need to flash 154 before the latest.

I keep getting an error when trying to re-root. It says device not found, using the auto root method. Any ideas?

I've tried rebooting everything, unchecking and rechecking usb debugging, and different computers...

EDIT: Never mind. I reinstalled the drivers and it worked. Not sure what changed and why it didnt work on two computers. But, anyway, if you get an error, try reinstalling the drivers.

I had a problem with the Scarlet Keyboard in his newest update for the yay4redtheme. What I did was uninstall it using Root Uninstaller pro and then Installed the scarletLatinIME3vo.apk and now it works perfect. No force closing. Also if you use Go Contacts EX look up the theme Finesse, it's free and fits the theme nicely. I also use GO SMS Pro and use REDblack_Minimal_Theme_GO_SMS_v1.5-signed.apk and it also fits the theme very nice.

I have noticed an improvement in data speeds in places that were flaky before. Don't know if its the update or it just got better in the area overnight.

Yeah. I'm really curious as to the improvements as well. And what the changes were. To see if I really wanna update.

I flashed this using RSD, and when I started my phone again, I had to reactivate which is fine. But everything is they way it was before the update, still rooted with all my apps. How would I get it back to stock without root?

Use the stock SBF file. That should take you to stock.

I am waiting for a deodexed version so I can start porting some themes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
There should be a deodexed version out all ready.

Is it the one he previously released for the red theme. I thought it was an update file. I am still learning some of this and hoping soon to make my own themes. I want to try and learn deodexing my self.

Man start portin, I can do it but honestly I'm too lazy to and re sizing icons looses my attention as soon as I start :p

Hey guys, I have at least two new problems with latest 198_7 firmware.

1. Social networking application, integrated, doesn't seem to work. I open it and receive asking that Social networking account required, To create a new account, click Setup. But I added already several account, when I click setup, I can delete accounts and add, they are adding/deleting, but next time I open this application and it says I have no social accounts. So, widgets of social networking actually don't work too, same problem.

2. When I'm clicking on OTA "Update Motorola software", I receive the alert that Motorola account required. "System update is not available without a Motorola service account. Would you like to setup an account now?". If I click setup, it starts communicating with server, but in result I receive that "This is taking longer than expected, we'll continue to try in the background." I click ok and that's all actually..

May anybody check that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Just tried both of your issues and mine worked without any problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
thanks for checking,I'll wipe I think.

UPDATE. all ok after a wipe.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
I think battery life is significantly better with 198_7 vs. 198_6. My phone never seems to get warm now. Good stuff--probably no reason not to update, since it doesn't wipe the phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
I removed the file from my server so i can update it with new version today

I am gonna go on the motorola website later and see if I can't hunt down a change log some place.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Its always a guessing game until motorola releases the official update. At least that is my observation with the MoPho to date.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jorjitoc:
When I enter recovery my phone just sits there saying "entering recovery mode" or something like that and never gets beyond that. I hold power button and volume down and then arrow down until I get to Android Recovery and then I arrow up. Never gets to any actual recovery. I had an Evo before this and used recovery there all the time to flash and wipe, etc. What am I missing?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dougxd:
After you hit UP, press both UP and DOWN at the same time. The recovery menu should then show up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DWake014:
Flashed this over unlocked to get back to stock and now it just bootloops :\
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
Don't bother--you ain't gonna find one ;) Motorola won't acknowledge its existence. I suspect they allow these sbf's to be leaked here intentionally, though.

Will unlock be lost after applying this update?

[Motorola Photon 4G] neilkarunatilaka:
Flashing the updated ROM via CWM recovery, will that break unlocked bootloader? And a specific version of CWM needed? Thanks a bunch!! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
there is no boot.img so chances are no it wont disrupt the bootloader

however you will lose root as i did not root this version of the rom for testing purposes. I am chasing down a particular dragon that connects battery loss and phone idle going back to root...i suspect something is trying to call home to the mother ship thus keeping the device active
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I meant the official update. Not the SBF leak. ;-)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
i cannot guarantee what the ota will bring but i know that if you flash this sbf it will lock the bootloader...but the rom i made shouldn't.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dcowboys2184:

That worked for me. thank you so much will check back and let your know how the update runs.

[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
I was having problems but a lot of them have smoothed out. I was successful in flashing the latest sbf. I was able to install the deoxed version through CWM. Everything is working nice. Strange however that I cannot install yay4red.zip. Not only can I not install that, but a previous .zip I used to install (for my bootscreen) doesn't work either. Both give me the following error:

Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was deprecated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages.
Installation aborted.

Strange how I can install the deoxed update but not the yay4red.zip update. Has anyone else had these problems? I tried it in version 5.0.2.3-photon2 and version 4.0.1.5-photon1.3. What version of CWM have you guys used to flash this? Am I just unlucky tonight?
[Motorola Photon 4G] boostedmr2:
Did you flash the sbf first then do the update? Im pretty sure you can't just flash the update zip alone. Anyone?
