No worries, your conversation alleviated some confusion for my Android newbie brain.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
wifi is not working rooted and unlocked but no result
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
No wifi? Hm. That is strange.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
What kernel did you flash
[Motorola Photon 4G] lavans4u:
I have a unlocked and rooted photon.

1.Can i flash this sbf using RSDlite

2.Is there any need to unlock the bootloader again after flashing this sbf?

3.Will i be able to use the future OTAs released by moto or sprint?

Thanx
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
1. Yes you can.

2. That's entirely up to you. I believe you can flash the theme via bootstrap, but I don't know, I haven't tried.

3. I believe so, since this does relock/unroot you're basically back at stock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lavans4u:
1.Can i use the old unlock\root methods in this rom?

2.Any improvement compared to the old sbf build?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
The pudding unlock? Yes you can. And the old build of 154?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mecksg1:
so can you flash update 1024 like a rom thru cwm, im running joker rom right now and also the theme is that flashed thru cwm also? and i have the 45.3.7 update
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yes you can flash tje update and theme via CWM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
Every time I use your update it unroot my phone. Is there something I can do to fix that.

Is anyone have this problem when it comes to rooting devices and how are you fixing the problem:

hey is anyone ever had this issue before when your using torpedo to root.

fatal server error:

Server is already active for display 0

If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock

and start again.

Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support

at http:///wiki.x.org
[Motorola Photon 4G] Doballa:
Yes unroots mine too
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Yes, you lose root, I think it says that in the OP. But you can get it back fairly easy. I use torpedo. Used it before I did this, and used it after, both with the same results. I was rooted. So it should work for you too.

Where are you getting hung up at?
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
Okay I am having the same issue but I can't figure it out. I can flash this SBF and it works fine, then I reroot and I am still good, but when I go to unlock it so I can put CWM on it it throws me back to 45.2.5 . How can I fix that? I am using this method but it seems that it has an old SBF.

Thanks for the help in advance
[Motorola Photon 4G] pswin09:
You just need to flash puddingunlock sbf. That will take about one minute & rsd will say flashing fail. Then just takeout battery and reboot. You will see unlocked on boot. After that you just use moto-fastboot to push cwm on your phone. By the way what method you use to root your phone?
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
Thanks so much for your help. I think that is what I did but it throws me back to the older SBF. (Then again it took a long time to flash not a minute)

I used this method: I guess this would be the "torpedo" method

1.Navigate to the Android Market and install the “Superuser” application from ChainsDD

◦Alternatively, install a Superuser .apk file from here.

2.Extract the ADB package to your C:\ Drive under a new folder titled “root”

3.Place the root file in the same folder

4.Open the command prompt (Start >> run “cmd” >> enter)

5.Type the following commands

◦cd C:/root

◦adb push photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp

◦adb shell

◦cd /data/tmp

◦/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar

◦/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh

◦/data/tmp/install-su.sh

6.Congratulations! You are rooted!

Edit: I used the file "pudding_stock_unlock.sbf" where do I get the "puddingunlock.sbf" file?

Then you are flashing wrong sbf.. Only need to flash puddingunlock sbf (1 mb). I never use your method to root... I just use AIO root method .. That is quite easy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
Where do I get the file and where is the AIO method? Once I get all that I should be good to go. :-)

Edit: Okay I think i got the correct file. I will let you know. Thanks again for all your help!

Edit, Edit: I GOT IT!!!! I am unlocked and have CWM on it and at the latest SBF!

Do I now run the "update 1024.zip" or is that in the build already? My data and WiFi seem to be working fine.

Why would you want to go to a Motorola RAZR after being on an Android phone? I know they were state of the art flip phones in their day but.....

(Okay just a little joke) :-)

Let us know how you like it.

Thanks for all the work you have done in here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pswin09:
Good man.. update 1040.zip is only deodexed file system.. I think.... You should flash joker rom instead of 1040.zip..
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
Okay will do. Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Lol, you had me going for a minute. Will let you know how it goes with the RAZR :)

I agree. Use aio one click root. Takes a couple of minutes
[Motorola Photon 4G] kakahikmatx:
I can't do SBF through RSD, every time I want to flash by RSD, I failed, I just want to upgrade to 198_7, because in 198_6 I have problem with my WiFi and 4G connection, both of them can't connect

Any ideas??

My Photon condition:

Rooted, but bootloader still locked,

and also I Have try to factory reset before do RSD

THX
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I assume you are in RSD mode on the boot screen correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kakahikmatx:
Yes offcourse, i follow the step on the first page, I turn off my phone, and then I go in RSD mode by clicking the power button and the volume up button together
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
And it reads RSD not fastboot or BP or something else correct? And you've tried different USB ports?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kakahikmatx:
yes correct, on my screen it write "starting RSD protocol"

I'm really sure my USB cable and port are OK, because my Photon is new

Update : I try to do RSD to 154 SBF and it works, but when try to upgrade it to 198_7 I face the same problem like before (upgrade from 198_6 to 198_7) , should I upgrade step by step until 198_7?? I mean from 154 upgrade to 198_5 and then to 198_6 until 198_7, could I just make it to the latest??

THX
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
I know there was an issue going from 198_5 to 198_6. Might be best to try 154 > 198_7

And the "starting RSD protocol" seems to be the norm. Just check in RSD if it is connected on the port.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
If you rsd to 154 sbf. You will get ota updates to latest. You will be at 198_7

[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I believe you'll only get the OTA updates if you're on Sprint though, And he's on a foreign GSM carrier, so that wouldn't apply. Or am I mistaken?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
Check your system info, maybe it updated the phone but gave a bogus error message. I remember seeing this in an acs unlocking video.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bwillet:
I am sorry for being a noob idiot, but have to ask for some help. I am fresh over from HTC land, and am having a hard time adjusting to Moto world. I used RSD to successfully flash to 198_7, but of course my 3g is now broken. I have not unlocked because I am still unclear if I can retain 4g while having cwm recovery. How do I apply the update 1024 to fix my 3gees without cwm (or can I)? I would appreciate any help getting past noobiness...
[Motorola Photon 4G] kakahikmatx:
I succed to flash into 154 from 198_6, and then after my Photon on 154 I try to make 198_7 I got same problem, failed to flash like I do from 198_6 to 198_7

I'm sorry my english not realy good, You mean 154 same with 198_7??for your information, the main purpose I want to update is to fix my WiFi problem, because after I update to 198_6, my WiFi won't connect to the network, it said "error", and also I can't activate sprint because I lived in the country where sprint network unavailable, I live in Asia

I have checked it, and there aren't any error

THX
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Are you rooted?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kakahikmatx:
Yes, my Photon is rooted but the bootloader still locked and I never install any custom ROM, but till now just succes to RSD from 198_6 to 154 but from 198_6 to 198_7 and 154 to 198_6 both of them keep failed to flash using RSD, any idea??

THX
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Try 154 to 198_7

What's wrong with battery life? Calibrate. What's wrong with the camera? If it is an issue, use the Droid 3 cam. Non ICS? It isn't out. No phone has it. How does that become an issue for the Photon? Lol. Wow.

Thanks Juggs, finally got to install the latest update, man that was probably the easiest update to install so far. Installed no prob, then OCR to gain root back, all good.

[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
I've never had a wifi issue
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Me neither. Not once.

Battery issues ? Always got 30 to 40 hours on one charge, so obviously those complaining of battery issues need to look in their own use instead of blaming the phone for a problem that's not due to the phone.

No ICS ? Buahahahaha, that's hilarious. How about complaining no Jelly Bean while you're at it ? Seriously, the Galaxy Nexus isn't even out yet and you're already complaining of no ICS upgrade ? We just got source yesterday FFS.

I've owned an Evo 4G, Evo 3D, and now this as far as Android phones, and this one, by far, gets the best battery life and has the most features. I might not have 3D but I can use it with a local SIM when I travel, I can use Ubuntop with a wireless BT mouse and KB setup while connected to a TV, and battery life is top notch. Tegra 2 games aren't too shabby either.

Sorry for the rant but I hate when people complain that their phone is a POS when they're the ones to blame for their phone acting up.

Spb 3D shell Force Close

This rom has been awesome, but I've noticed two apps that worked on the stock rom yet don't work on this rom.

Spb 3D shell, and MyDlink lite.

Spb shell force closes constantly, and is slow to come back to the home screen. The MyDlink lite app doesn't let me log into my Dlink cameras anymore.

Has anyone else noticed a problem? I've try restarts, reinstalls. So far nothing fixes it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] iaccax:

[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
I don't know about spb shell, but mydlink lite works just fine for me.

[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
I fully agree with this.. This phone is a diamond in the rough, only plagued by Moto's locked bootloader and inability to unlock it with 4G ... This could be "THE" dev phone to beat if it was given the chance. But I need my fill of rom flashing... but also need my 4Gees, and without the ability to have both.... I am lookin at the next new phone to come, and I won't be returning to Moto anytime soon.. So moto just throwin business out the window.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
The mopho doesn't clear data the way most phones do. You have to do a "factory reset" from menu/settings/privacy. This wipes all the user apps/data after which you flash the sbf. Curious, why did you need to unroot?

I mirrored them HERE

Any suggestions on how to "repair" the contacts between the phone and the battery? Unfortunately, this is my 2nd Photon and the number of reboots are increasing daily!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Hey man, its not an issue with the battery. Some Photons just reboot because of the os. One of my buddies flashed this rom and he hasnt had a reboot in 6 weeks. I just flashed this rom a few minutes ago so Ill post if i still get reboots or not.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

So I downloaded the newest version of this rom and I just flashed it. I used QBking77's video to follow the install step by step. I have two questions. The first question is after I flashed the rom and my phone rebooted I didnt have to reactivate phone with Sprint. Qbking mentioned in his video that you'd have to contact Sprint to reactivate phone. So im hoping nothings wrong with my phne, i checked my voicemail and it worked as normal. I checked my about phone info and it is upgraded from my previous build.

Question number two is do I need to flash the update 1024 (working data).zip?

my phones data seems to be working but if need be ill flash it. could someone give me a step by step on how to flash this? just want to make sure i do it right. thanks guys
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Anyone still having random reboots after flashing Joker's rom which is based on this sbf?
[Motorola Photon 4G] schollianmj:
Does anyone still have the sbf file? The one on the first post is down as is lokis mirror. Did a factory reset this morning to try to cure a problem now i have no market and my data is all whonky. Shows full bars signal is at -77 db but the 3g icon and arrows stay grey and things hardly load. Wanting to start fresh with an sbf flash then reroot and go from there.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Generally I have had to log in again after I did a wipe then SBF but if you didn't wipe. No big deal.

As for the data zip if it is working I wouldn't sweat it. Are you locked or unlocked at the moment?
[Motorola Photon 4G] schollianmj:
this is concerning the second file that Loki had mirrored, the 1024 data file... If Im still on a locked bootloader can i even flash this? If so how do i get into recovery? I was under the impression that an alternate recovery was something that can only be used with an unlocked bootloader and since I use $g a lot for tethering Im rather hesitant to unlock and lose that.

I found the SBF file on my laptop still, turns out I hadent emptyied teh recycle bin in a while and was able to recover it from that... But when I used RSD to flash it Im not sure that it worked right... It did a few things, flashed a few things but then when it tried to reboot my Mofo it wouldnt boot all the way and RSD prompted me to manually boot it. the only way i could find to do that was by unplugging the phone and holding the power button... what am I doing wrong? Win 7 Ultimate, win64 drivers, RDS 5.3.1... I know I have used this before and it has worked in the past... so lost right now...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
1. Do a "factory reset" from menu/settings/privacy. (This wipes all the user apps/data)

2. Flash the sbf via rsd lite. (If rsd lite gives a "failed" error at the "reboot phone" phase, DON'T PANIC. This is a known bug and is pretty much ignored)

3. Root using shabby's one click

4. If you have previously unlocked your phone use flash the pudding derpunlock via rsd lite.

5. Install CWM Recovery

6. Install the 1024 fixed deodex from recovery

(sorry for the short guide without links but been sick for days and don't have the energy)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Im locked at the moment. I flashed the rom earlier today and added all my apps. I thought everything was fine but then a few hours later I got a random reboot. Kinda dissappointed but i guess ill have to live with that until i get a new phone.

Its weird that you mention not doing a wipe as not a big deal because im pretty sure I wiped everything. But besides the one random reboot the phone is working fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Took me a few days longer than expected, but I re-tested mydlink with the deodexed rom and it works just fine for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] schollianmj:
Thanks Loki. So I guess that it was working then, I just expected a SBf flash to wipe my device. Due to the 4g borking issue I'm not gonna unlock and do all that. I need my 4gees! :-) But I got my market back, and I'm rooted again.
