I'm wondering the same. There was an OTA available for a few hours.Then it was pulled. I deferred installation until I got a wi-fi connection & full charge. However it was no longer available. I was hoping to avoid this RSD installation.

Need small guidance

I bricked my phone (my bad !)

Then RSD'd to stock kernel/ROM... 198_7.

I need to now unlock the phone, but unable to find the pudding's .sbf file (464 mb), however I have only been lucky enough to get the 1 mb pudding's sbf.

edit: upon extraction, the file reads as: "derpunlock.sbf".

Unable to find out how to proceed from here... ??

Plz guide.
[Motorola Photon 4G] snoopy1e11:
Are you on Mac or Windows
[Motorola Photon 4G] bondarun:
follow the Same Unlock Procedure but use the 1mb file.

Thats it. :)

Simple as that..

It worked for me.

If you have Already Unlocked your device, then just flash the 1mb pudding file and then you will find Unlocked notification while the device start up..

Note:

Using the 1mb file wont wipe ur data and do a factory reset..

Hi,

1. Download link is dead. Can you please re-upload ?

2. I have a carrier unlocked phone. Will I have to get it unlocked again ?

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
Go to the stickied thread by lokifish Marz - you can find your files there. What do you mean by "carrier unlocked"? The phone out of the box is international unlocked, no gsm in USA without mods. Bootloader unlock is a different thing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I will be updating/reorganizing the online archive over the next week. Unfortunately due to the hard drive failure I had a while back I have lost most of the ROM's prior to 198_7. By a stroke of luck just happened to find yay's files from this thread as well as most of the Alien ROM files.

If you were looking for just the Stock 198_7 sbf that is available in the Photon Compendium.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:

I have the SBF's but don't have the roms based on the earlier sbf's. I also lost the very early P-ROMs as well. It's made maintaining the archive very difficult.
[Motorola Photon 4G] TheCrispytoast:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Yay's release is long abandoned. I suggest looking at a ROM that been released within the past 3 or 4 months at most.

I have that file on my computer. But I found it online too: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390034591667978286

I suggest that you download it, unzip and compare its md5 sum to the md5 sum of the original file - db4ef1773c95460c2c903758a304b23f . If the sums are the same, the file is good.

To check md5 sum, use an application. you can search on google "md5 calculator".

Please do not forget to check the md5 sum only after unzipping the file. The zip archived file has a different md5 sum.

:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] couchlock:
[MENTION=4122966]yairku[/MENTION], ty for the link very much. I'm educated enough to double check an md5 ;) but ty for the reminder none the less HAHA.

Better yet just keep ya phone plugged in while you reactivate

Sent from my PHOTON blaster!
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
I'm more inclined to think it's the PRL update that caused your issue(s). After the MR3 update is applied, the phone updates the PRL. Sprint might revert you to the previous PRL (or an even newer one if it exists) if you ask them ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
I wonder if Motorola is done with all the maintenance release changes. I think everyday people are reporting more problems so I hope Motorola really takes their time and fixes most of the problems reported.

Would be nice if people who have installed the maintenance release could report what problems they feel were addressed. That way we can feel confident that when the official update arrives that the problems have been fixed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] randomrobbi:
Funny story. I went to plug my phone in and wouldn't charge. Went to the store and they handed me a new one. Problem solved. I'll hold off on flashing anything for a while. Im actually very happy with blur and everything about this phone.

[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Will these MR's be officially updated through the profile/system updates (perhaps automatically? from sprint? Or will we have to manually do this? I was wondering what all the regular customers are doing/experiencing with their photon - i.e. meaning, not every joe/jane is aware of XDA :)

I think I'm going to try to downgrade...the MR killed my signal strengths.

after i run rsd i plug my photon to pc. It just does nothing. It says on my phone starting rsd but the program does not recognize my photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
again i ask can you please post a screen shot of the rsd app running
[Motorola Photon 4G] RickNY1971:
Couple of things to note here..

1) Signal strength indicator seems to have been set to more realistic levels.. In other words, in areas where I know I had a crappy signal based upon my other phones, the Photon would previously all 7 bars of signal available.. And this was in areas that my other Sprint phones have shown 1 or 2 bars.. The MR seems to have made that a bit more accurate.

2) There still appears to be an issue of PRL updates applied after data profile updates causing the data profile to become corrupt..I believe this is a Sprint provisioning issue, and not specific to the Photon. This problem existed on the Evo, documented here: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/280082-major-solution-fix-your-slow-3g-speeds-evo4g.html

While the solution posted in that article doesn't quite work the same on the Photon, I have found that this will fix your 3G data speeds to normal after applying a PRL update. Also Sprint had me do this procedure when my data profile disappeared from the phone:

a) Apply PRL update first

b) Verify your PRL has updated

c) Re-activate your phone. Make sure you are in range of a Sprint signal and not roaming. Turn off WiFi.. Also, I have found this does not seem to work well with an Airave.. You need your MSL for this:

http://support.sprint.com/support/a...se-wh164052-20110725-151532#programausedphone

Follow the steps under 'If all other methods have failed'. The programming code mentioned is your MSL. When the phone performs handsfree activation, cancel when it says 'Checking for PRL update'. Phone will then restart again.

3) I am experiencing the no sound issue when making or receiving calls with the maintenance release. It happened twice yesterday until I rebooted the phone, and then it was fine.

[Motorola Photon 4G] fusQer:
About 14 hours ago, I successfully flashed mr3, factory reset the phone, and since then I haven't had the problem where I have to remove the battery and replace it. Then I installed battery circle and the phone has been rebooting itself literally 4-5 times an hour for no reason. WTF this is so frustrating.

I called Sprint to tell them of my problems and they want me to swap out the phone at a Sprint store. I'm going along with this knowing it probably won't help since I believe it is a software issue... But I don't know what else to do...
[Motorola Photon 4G] pajinki:
Tis odd. All these problems you people say you have, I don't have.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Same here, crossing my fingers that it stays that way.
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
Yes, that confirmation email sent out by Sprint when you do the online Activation does provides the MSL number. I would suggest those that activate the Photon this way to keep it in a safe place in case one need it again in the future.

Thanks for the Sprint links.

TS out
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
This also happened to me twice. It wouldn't charge when the phone was booted or shutdown and the battery ran to 0% (it eventually started charging again but it took a while). I also exchanged my phone yesterday and not had the problem since (knock on wood).
[Motorola Photon 4G] RickNY1971:
Actually, the number in the confirmation email is NOT the MSL.. At least it wasnt for mine.. I had to call up and get my MSL, and it was different from the one in the email. The representative at Sprint said the number in the email is just used for activating, and the MSL is different.

Youll notice that the code in the email will get you in to the activation screen, but it will not verify if you try to use it to say, reset your data in ##DATA#
[Motorola Photon 4G] flash_c4:
I had this happen to me last night. The phone went dead on me and when I got in the car several hours later and put it in the dock the phone wouldn't turn on until I was almost home about 30 minutes later. I also saw this behavior on a demo phone at the Sprint store last Sunday.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fusQer:
Hey I see you're in SA too. Which store did you goto ? I just got back from I-10/DeZavala and they gave me such a hard time, I had to make a moderate scene to get them to exchange mine without counting against the 30 day return policy.

I even brought it in DEAD and they had to take out the battery and put it back in (so I can confirm that mr3 did not fix the battery removal issue with my photon) and they still had the nerve to tell me they couldn't replicate the problem. F'in idiots!

I hope my new device doesn't have problems or it is going to be evo3d for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
I bought from the BB at the Forum. BB is so much easier to work with when it comes to exchanges. Sprint wants you to spend 4 hours in their store waiting for their technicians to troubleshoot and fix the phone - which they seldom do. BB takes your word and exchanges the phone without question. However, I don't think the 30 day return policy resets. Maybe if you push it but I don't think it is automatic.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I came to a conclusion which has been reproduced on accident.

I think when you're charging your phone the glitch comes back or when you keep it on the charger and answer. Also a theory I just came up with is the settings you have it on.

Ex. Someone calls me or I call them while its charging I cannot hear them I reboot and take off the charger it works

Ex. The Night mode may have something to do with it but I had my phone on performance mode so the mode may not be true.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
It does reset in fact, you just need to ask them to do it. I got mine reset 3 times just to get my photon. Had the 3vo. Sprint allows it up to 3 times.

I made this post earlier in the 3vo phones and someone didnt like it very much. But whatever, its there and yes you have the right to use it. In fact the manager at the store I went to gave me the 3vo 3 times, one time the screen did some funky stuff and it was shot so it was just a replacement. But I still have 30 days on the photon, which I won't be taking back. Hoping we get perma root and unlocked bl very soon.

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Nice to know. Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fusQer:
Thanks for the info. I had to buy mine from Sprint.com b/c I have SERO, so I had to goto a Sprint store for the exchange. So far so good with my phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] urcboss07:
I think after updating the MR3, sound issue still exits so we might have to wait for Motorola and Sprint to release its own software update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] insol:
I noticed the same thing. I was off my charger for most of the day over the past few days and had few problems. However last night while on charge got the problem again. Coming from an Evo 3G I am SO used to having my phone on or near a charger all the time...

MR3 seems to make the problem less frequent but still there for sure.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Whosdaman:
It cant be the charger, I've had it happen to me in the middle of the day
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
I only have the call bug in range of my airave, so far anyway. Was out and about all weekend with zero issue. Now this morning back at my house im having no audio in call. Well, im also charging so i guess i cant 100% say its my airave. I just had 3 incoming calls in a row with no sound, i called back and it was fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fusQer:
I swapped my photon out after mr3 didn't fix the remove-and-replace-the-battery issue. So far I am convinced my new one is just fine. I didn't put mr3 on it yet, just to see how it does. I also don't have battery issues with this phone (first photon was draining 50-60% on idle in 5 hours).

So, go swap your phones if you have the same probs as me!
[Motorola Photon 4G] tuxytuxy:
seems like the issue is limited to certain phones. Maybe a batch of phones weren't made "properly" (whatever the hell that means).

Maybe it's just luck. I'm getting mine soon hopefully. So lets see what happens
[Motorola Photon 4G] Whosdaman:
Wait what is this issue?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
just curious,are those of you that are having the silent call issue ,under wireless networks are you 'sprint only' or 'automatic'? coming to think of it it might be a radio issue maybe because of the different bands?
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I have been using wifi most of the time when it messed up
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
I'm going to try setting mine to sprint only and see if the issue still persist...
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
The only time I ever had a problem, wifi was on and it was charging. Never at any other time.
[Motorola Photon 4G] RickNY1971:
The times I have had the issue -- both were when the phone was either in the Motorola HD dock, or the car dock. In the HD dock instance, I removed the phone from the HD dock to answer a call and I heard nothing, and the calling party heard nothing.. For the car dock, I answered on bluetooth headset, and same thing -- although that time, tried switching to speakerphone, and it did not help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkwus74:
Just spoke to a senior tech support from sprint and they said an update to fix that and other issues will be in the middle of this month....
[Motorola Photon 4G] twospirits:
Good to know, either way, I applied the current update and will do so again when Moto officially sends it out, in case there are further fixes in it.

[Motorola Photon 4G] flash_c4:
So far after reading several days of posts I'm still not sure exactly what the benefit of installing this will be. Some say this has fixed issues and others say it hasn't. I haven't seen any positive proof that this is something I want to mess with especially with the possibility of having to deal with the hassle of reactivation. Does anyone have any better data at this point as far as issues resolved VS issues caused?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
the issue with reactivation on some devices such as mine was when it tried to call out to the mother ship it was being denied because of previous device on account...as far as the voice issue...i have not had a problem with it...battery life took a dump but that could also be due to a improper provision where something got held up upon forced activation.
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
Has anybody updated that has had no problems and did you see any benefits?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sd7318:
Yeah, I updated three days ago and haven't had an issue.. Feels like it's running better for me and my battery is about the same. Coming from the nexus s I can see an improvement in both speed and battery life.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
What I care about are the audio/bluetooth issues that people have been seeing. I just want to know if these have been fixed in the MR.

Also can anyone confirm if the MR has fixed the lack of video chat capability from Google Talk?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sd7318:
Cant say for gtalk but I use bluetooth for my pioneer head unit and plantronics 975 for calls and music. No complaints.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mason_Voorhees:
Did u have the audio issues prior to flashing MR3? For me, 95% of the time this phone is truly a bad MoPho. That 5% when I've had to deal w/ the no sound issues sucks, honestly. I would like to hear from someone who had audio problems, flashed this fix & now has no problems. It doesn't seem like there are many people who fit that criteria, or maybe they just aren't posting about it...
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
I think the percent of people that owns the phone is small....I thing the evo 3d stole the limelight..... tho this phone is way better
[Motorola Photon 4G] Mason_Voorhees:
I agree, obviously because I would've gotten the 3d otherwise. Out of curiosity, does the 3vo have any nagging issues of its own? I'm not thinking of jumping ship, just wondering. Might make me sleep better knowing there are drawbacks there too. I already have the iphone's antenna dropped call thing to hang my hat on :p. I just think this is an issue of it possibly being pushed out before they could work out all the kinks. They promised it would come out in Jully, so they squeezewd it in by the skin of their teeth. Now have to go back to the lab & work out a few kinks. Soon enough, like the OG Evo, we will be owners of the baddest phone around w/o these pecky issues
