hey guys when im running rsd lite and the proccess almost done,when it comes the time for the phone to reboot it gives me the error it was not able to flash the sbf file, any ideas? this is my second time i brick my phone the first time worked good now this time im having problems. this is the error i get " failed flashing process"
[Motorola Photon 4G] b0r0b:
Ok maybe something got screwed up with the download but it installed fine. I'll download a fresh copy and let it sit for 10 mins.

Edit: Can't wait for the theme to be flashable through CWM! Donations inbound when this thing installs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Remember to charge your phone all the way, and plug your phone into the USB ports in the BACK of the computer. Also, which SBF are you flashing?
[Motorola Photon 4G] b0r0b:
Currently at 8 minutes after flashing update1002.zip through CWM after wipe/dalvik. I have a feeling something else is wrong, and just so we're on the same page it's at the M logo with "unlocked" in the upper left corner. going on 10 minutes at this spot and nothing..just trying to figure out why I seem to be the only one unable to install it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cal4877:
im using the latest sbf "6cm "
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
I haven't flashed that since I've flashed Alien..couldn't tell you how it affects everything else, but all I can say is the cm5 is where I go back to..I remember I had tried to unlock the bootloader and ran the OTA update after to get to 45.2.7, and it screwed my by going through failed to boot 4. Anyway, that's why I went back to 45.2.5 and have been happy ever since getting to Alien.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Uploading it now
[Motorola Photon 4G] b0r0b:
Thanks but for some reason I can't install the rom..sits on the motorola screen with unlocked in the corner for over 10 minutes. I'll try to SBF back to stock or something I'm not sure why it's not working.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cal4877:
ok guys i keep on getting erros i even tried a different pc, this are the errors i get

" waiting for re-numeration" and than my pc tells me that i cannot recognize the usb device please help:( ....and than it tells me the the flash fail
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Uninstall RSD and the drivers as well as you can and try again. You likely have a driver issue somewhere.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
same problem here.

are there any other sbf files that i can try maybe i can restore my phone with an earlier version

[Motorola Photon 4G] reddragon72:
I thought it fixed my reboot issues with wifi and the 3g radio buuuutttt I had a reboot after turning off wifi after talking on the phone for few min. So my reboot issues are still happening.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
I was the first to install and test 198_6... I've installed every leaked build (including the short-lived 198_5) with no problems with RSDlite at all. I've never rooted, so I suspect some of the problems are related to rooting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] flipper12:
I'm not sure if the problems people are experiencing are related to being rooted or not. In my case, I was rooted before attempting to install the 198_6 build and didn't have any problems installing. And after installing the 198_6 build, I rooted my Photon immediately afterwards with no problems whatsoever.

However, I did follow the instructions posted in the first post by first installing the 154_6 build

BEFORE

attempting to install the 198_6 build (and want to repeat that I was rooted before installing the 154_6 build). And after installing the 154_6 build, I

did not

root that build (154_6) before installing the 198_6 build, if it makes any difference.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
For the re-enumeration or whatever error you will need to flash an earlier build first. That is what fixed it for me

[Motorola Photon 4G] pswin09:
Yes, you must flash early base(M3 or M5) or any 154_... base first. If you flash 198_6 over 198_5 or 198_6, if will fail half way with noisy screen. Also whenever i flash deodexed rom, it wouldn't remove odex files in my system/app & system/framework. So i manually deodexed my phone with xUltimate and now running great. That are all my experiences with flashing this new base.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
did you flash the rom with bootstrap or with cwm?
[Motorola Photon 4G] twoh:
does it contain the baseband 07?????
[Motorola Photon 4G] pswin09:
With bootstrap. I try to wipe before flash but not successful.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
yes it does
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jjday7:
I'm interested in trying out this rom but was wondering if anyone can post some screenshots of the rom. This would probably help others that are holding back.

I just want to see how much red has been put into the rom. Like is it in the text messing app? Has all traces of the blur blue been removed and replaced with red?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
nope only if you use the theme

On a side not e has there been any updates with facebook sync with the 10/2 leak?

[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
I have the same problem sometimes after an SBF flash. I just go to manage applications, find the market app, and then hit stop. Then when you load the market again it will let you download apps and update apps. However, if you have no room, you have no room. Delete some of those files that are rated M for mature. :p

Thanks for all your work in managing these for us. Don't know if it's been said, but it's appreciated!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sslbaron:
I have an issue with this update, but I cannot seem to find anything in regards to it after doing a search on it. I have been running this update 198_6 since it was posted. I did a factory reset, wipe, and then installed via RSD. The only issue I seem to have is after hanging up from a call while streaming audio (before the call), when the audio resumes playing, I am getting audio out of both the back speaker of the phone AND the headphone jack. It seems to be a software glitch because it never did it until I updated the phone to 198_6. It seems the only way to get the audio to return to playing only out of the headphone jack, is that I have to pull out the audio cable then plug it back in. This seems to work about 9 times out of 10. One issue I have with this is that the headphone jack is going to fail a lot sooner having to do this after every call, not to mention it does get annoying. I should also mention that I am using Bluetooth for the calls and the phone is in the car dock, but I have the audio cable plugged directly into the phone because I get too much interferance if I use the jack connected to the car dock cable.

Anybody else having this issue? Any thoughts?

Other than this, the 198_6 update has been great! It has seemed to have fixed the GPS issue I had before. Thanks yay for all that you do for us! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
Hmmm... Now that you mention it, I have seen some odd speakerphone behavior... Time to grab the headphones and experiment...
[Motorola Photon 4G] kwazytazz:
thanks for 198_6. RSD'd it and it seems like its a lot smoother and faster ;D
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jjday7:
I agree it is a lot smoother than previous builds. I have been runnning it for a week and haven't had a single problem. Smooths out a lot of laggy spots in the OS. Wifi frequency has increased dramatically also. I used to get 5mb down and now it's showing 15mb where it should have been to begin with. I hope the next update gives us more hardware acceleration.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Ok, I've been gone for a few days and went back 6 pages but I'm confused : is there a new build 198_6 sbf that's different than the previous 198_6 sbf ?

Yes. You can now use web top hack and I think he fixed swype
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
I flashed the deodexed version and wiped cache and dalvik cache first, but the odex files are still in the apps folder. Why is that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bitbearmi:
I've tried a few times with this and don't seem to be able to make any headway. I can install the .sbf fine on my phone, but once I unlock it and try to install the deodexed version with CWM it just hangs on the Mototrola screen. Any clue what's up?
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Sorry but I'm still confused. I thought SBFs from Yay were untouched from leaked Moto builds. Now the update zips, yeah I got that, they're deodexed and what not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mquinn24:
You're right. I misunderstood
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Why do you want to unlock the phone ? All I did is SBF back to 154_5, ran the OTA update, flashed the 198_6 SBF, then rooted (AIO), then installed bootstrap recovery, then booted in bootstrap, wiped cache and dalvik, then under the bootstrap recovery still, flashed update.zip. Unless update002 requires an unlocked bootloader now, which I dont't think it does, I don't understand why you would want to unlock and lose 4G when it's unnecessary...
[Motorola Photon 4G] DssTrainer:
A bit confused by the numbering in this thread

4.5.1a?

154_5?

My System Version shows 45.2.5 on my phone

I am getting the nag screen about updating to 45.2.7

So does this thread have that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
So, can anyone confirm or deny the existence of 2 different 198_6 SBF builds ? Yay 4 Juggs ? Anyone ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Medic97:
I'm getting the same thing. I flashed yay update zip and i'm also showing45.2.5 and getting bugged for an update not sure why.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
What I did was flash sbf, then accept ota update, then flash 198_6 sbf. Working smooth, and didn't loose any data.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JayQ330:
same here none of the problems here.

but i do have a problem with the gtalk video chat not working, sometimes no voice & sometimes video freezes...but no one has mentioned a problem with the gtalk video so i dont know what to think.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
The latest System OTA is 45.2.7 and that is probably why you are getting update requests. Is the build number correct? It should say 198_6 instead of 154_5...
[Motorola Photon 4G] JayQ330:
i have 45.3.6 with the sbf file they have in this forum for updating your photon.

does anyone have there gtalk video chat working right with this update? and also if theres a new update is there a forum or a way i would find out about it?

everything seems fine on my phone im just upset that my ram is now down to 650 mb free from 750mb's wtf? whats the point of one gig of ram if its half way gone to begin with, anyone please reply thanks, im going to master reset my mopho right now then reinstall the 198.6 again...it was supposed to fix most problems, but the only problem im having is the gtalk video bugs its going crazy.

RAM is only useful when in use. Free memory is not necessarily a good thing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] wesleyyin:
I had a "phone disconnection" error at the "BP passthrough" step in RSDLite. I thought I screwed up, but after a factory reset, the phone booted to android and shows 198_6 :) Before flashing the sbf, I was running stock rom with the 45.2.7 OTA.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Medic97:
My build shows yay mopho v1. After I flashed the new update posted on 09/28 so i'm going to re-download the update zip and see if it changes anything.

Update: loaded the new update and I still get the old 45.2.5
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
The 'official' update seems to mirror this one exactly. Version numbers match.

Updates from the beta thread:

-Google video chat fixed

-Social Location app

-Proximity sensor fixed, I never knew that was a problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SS2006:
quick question

i see you've updated the SBF

2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6-CM 10/2/11 latest SBF build working gtalk video w/voice

now the linked 'ROM' under it, is it based on this new SBF, and can be simply flashed in Recovery?

(would be loads easier)
[Motorola Photon 4G] yyk981:
This is the same build that Motorola rolled out OTA last night asking for testers, A WEEK LATER. Yay you rock! This has been great and just makes a great phone even better. Here's hoping support continues and the core developers out there stay dedicated to it.

So can I use the zip?? same thing?

[Motorola Photon 4G] boxermansr:
In flashing this, is there any chance that Moto will release a newer one, thus skipping over the ones who flashed this (I think HTC if I remember right, did this with the EVO).. I'd like to have the bugs that are there already fixed, but at the same time, not have Moto/Sprint screw us who did/do flash this.

Also, I did read that this doesn't wipe your SD card, but will it wipe the apps, etc you have installed already, or does it just update everything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
It doesnt wipe anything. Your phone will be exactly the same after you flash, minus a few bugs. All your apps and data will remain. As far as an ota, if the ota is anything newer than this, you will still receive it. This is 100% stock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] boxermansr:
Cool, thanks. I just know that an update for the EVO (I'm pretty damn sure it was the EVO at least), was leaked sometime after it came out, it ended up being not the one that Sprint/HTC released. Sprint was telling people to go back to the store to get it fixed, etc, and HTC ended up releasing another update to get everyone back on track; wanted to see what the concensus was as far as Motorola doing something similar in this instance, and leaving us with a half baked upgrade, and pushing a better one OTA.

So I am guessing this is not correct?

I wouldn't suggest putting a bunch of files up here for people to flash when they are not the correct ones. If you have said file you should put it on your own server. All links are borked. I'm gonna wait for motorola to release it, not going to chance borking my phone. Thanks though, looks interesting.

Just a quick question. Since this is basically the OTA update, I will be able to flash back to my ROM once I RSD this onto my phone, correct?
[Motorola Photon 4G] GUARDIANBD:
Yes you can downgrade to earlier stock version.

Did it on mine few weeks ago downgrading to CM3 and upgrading back to CM5.

No problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I just wanna make sure that the update will stick if I flash ROM.
[Motorola Photon 4G] GUARDIANBD:
By mean "flash rom" you mean you wanna flash stock rom right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
No. I am on homebase. But haven't done the OTA updates. Thus I wanna make sure the update sticks once I flash homebase again.

SuperUser stays installed with reset from phone settings and hard reset. Also custom Battery Icon stays, Custom System Font and Boot Screen. Would really like to get this resolved.
