OK i'v done it flashed the phone back to MR3 with RSDLITE i almost peed in

my pants when the phone started and stuck'd on the "NOW" after the reboot.

the phone flash'd but again having "wifi error"

but the most odd thingy is when activating the phone with the Sprint zone

app the phone i was able to use wifi and after activating it the phone rebooted

its self and the wifi issue came...its something to do with this ****ty app.
[Motorola Photon 4G] smoothone:
When I extract the sbf.gz file it is over 2.4 GB? Is this what you guys are getting or are you just changing the extension on the file to .sbf? I'm flashing this in Linux and I'm getting this error, "Value too large for defined data type !! failed".
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
yes, thats the correct size. i haven't tried it with linux.
[Motorola Photon 4G] smoothone:
Thanks I am going to try it on my wifes Mac.
[Motorola Photon 4G] justforflashing:
Ok...so I SBFd back to the OTA updated stock ROM, locked bootloader and unrooted with this thread. But now I dont have any camera or video recorder apps and the side camera key doesnt open the camera? Any suggestions or ideas??

[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
This is the same as the OTA we just got right?? Just if u want to manually push it with rsd...sry for the noob question
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
My build is different kinds of sun 154 but my system shows the new 45.2.7

[Motorola Photon 4G] GUARDIANBD:
:) hope that having real change from the 4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_6/45.2.7

did some1 upgraded and can give us sneak peak ^_^ ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] lilrepo:
Maybe this was already asked and or answered, is this newer than the one that just came out addressing WiFi performance?

Baseband: n_01.28.05s.fk

Webtop: WT-1.2.0-135

Build: 4.51A-1_SUN-154_6

I am curious because in your post it shows that the webtop version seems newer

Webtop: WT-1.2.0-160

Thanks in advance for any clarification.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jason_Thames:
This is a newer build than the one you are referring to. I believe Yay said he will be posting changes when he gets them.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sliverr7x:
Anybody notice really sow internet speeds after this update i lost rev a it says 1rtxx now
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
change network settings to sprint only or automatic...it defaults to any cdma
[Motorola Photon 4G] sliverr7x:
Thanks that did it jugs
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
I successfully flash this. However, when I try to update my profile now the phone reboots. I am not sure if something else is causing the problem. I did not wipe data.

EDIT: Now I am in boot loop. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Take battery out put it back in boot into recovery do a full wipe and restart
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
I'll give that a go. I actually just started flashing the sbf again - for whatever reason. I can get into stock recovery by pressing vol down and power, right? That will let me wipe data? I came from a samsung device, so this is a little new for me still.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
That is correct
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Uh oh!! During my sbf flash I got an error that my USB device hardware malfunctioned and my screen on the photon is black with a snow look like the old tube tv used to do. How bad is it, doc? :eek:

Also, does wiping data remove the internal sd data?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Not bad just wipe like i told ya
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Ok. I see fastboot when I hold vol down and power, then I press the volume down until I see recovery, then I hit vol up. It says entering recovery, but then all I see is a triangle with an ! in it. What am I dont wrong?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
When you see the white triangle press vol up and vol down at the same time
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Does this wipe the internal sd data too? I sure hope not...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
No it does not
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Awesome! Thanks for the all the help. I am back in business!! :D
[Motorola Photon 4G] pzztgotbagz:
looks like webtop version has changed also wonder what was fixed or added cant wait till i get my dock in and can start tinkering.
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
Yay,

My phone still reboots when I try a profile update. Just FYI.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Did you hard reset then flash again?
[Motorola Photon 4G] my2cents:
I flashed sbf, had my problem, booted to recovery, reset my phone, and then rebooted. I did not flash the sbf again after the reset.
[Motorola Photon 4G] inimitableac:
This has been asked like 5 times and I see no answer but somebody anybody WHAT DOES IT CHANGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?
[Motorola Photon 4G] agrenwa:
After applying the ota when I take a video its not recording anything, can someone try to take a video please and report back.

For the 99th time, this is N_O_T 4.2.7! Again, this is 4.3.5 and 4.3.5 != 4.2.7. I have yet to see a proper log for this new sbf, but Mr. Juggs said he will post it when he gets it.

Rsd is not seeing my phone...re installed the drivers

Rebooted phone...was fully charged

Any ideas..I was in rsd mode ...said starting services...nothing ever shows up ir changes...only rooted

Anyone else noticing a loss in battery life with this? Dropped 30% in 90 minutes and the phone was just sitting
[Motorola Photon 4G] RickNY1971:
Negative.. I had the phone off the charger yesterday for 3 hours and then made a 53 minute phone call, and ended with 80% battery still.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ianford10:
Not at all, seems ok to me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Does the latest build fix the Google Talk video chat and LED notification issues? I am talking about the 198 build version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
sorry if this has already been asked, but can this be done with unlocked bl and homebase ROM? or do i have to flash to stock, update then unlock, root, and flash ROM again?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
you're defeating the purpose of the update by flashing homebase over it...wait till homebase is built from this then flash it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mybikeisblack:
This is phone off the charger for 2 hours 47 minutes. No texts, call, Internet surfing, gps and wireless off. Phone was just sitting. I'm now at 20%
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Yay - will you be updating the Yay4MoPho base with this build? It would be nice to have a stock base for themeing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Yes i will be after the weekend
[Motorola Photon 4G] beartrap:
Thanks!___
[Motorola Photon 4G] mybikeisblack:
Just reflashed, ill see if that changes my battery issue
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Can anyone that has flashed the 198 build so far confirm any new changes they have noticed in particular Google Talk video chat and LED notification issues? Are they fixed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
ok i used RSD to flash that last update like 2 weeks ago...worked perfect...almost a week ago i used the AIO root ....it worked great for rooting my phone

but now when i try to use RSD it will not recongize my phone...i even tried on a different computer....did the AIOroot mess something up???
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Did you put your phone in rsd mode?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mybikeisblack:
Reflashed this twice, drained battery, cleared battery stats, recharged, and still only getting less than 3 hours of battery. Any Idea what is going on here?
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
of course...it says starting RSD support protocal....nothing after that...never shows up ....like i said i have tried alot of different ways

phone is fully charged...2 diff computers.....worked for me with the last OTA...only thing i have changed is root with the AIO

super frustrating

my phone has proximity sensor problems...works when it wants to
[Motorola Photon 4G] tehxeno:
I got this same problem, then I rebooted into android recovery and wiped data/factory reset... then also wiped cache. I rebooted the system, then tried to run RSD and I got the same error still. (re-enumerating failed, snowy glitchy looking screen)

What do I do?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Custodian:
So...moto/google is reallly pushing out these updates! The photon is truly a work of art!
[Motorola Photon 4G] xblack5dahliax:
im in the same boat here. i get the colorful snowy screen with same error when about 53% through rsdlite. all the phone does is boot loop. it successfully went through once thats where i got the bootloop and now rsd gives the error re_enu....

Anyone help us out with this?

this isnt my first rodeo here ive dont this before with a handful of androids along with my atrix. but now i am truely stuck!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
Go into recovery and do a factory reset then flash again
[Motorola Photon 4G] xblack5dahliax:
I really dont like asking stupid questions but if this helps explain than it might help the answer to the question.

Im not rooted and BL is locked and im in boot loop.

Now how do i get into recovery? if at all possible with the info i provided.

thank you yay 4 juggs for the fast response!

your S/N makes me laugh everytime i see it on here!

[Motorola Photon 4G] mybikeisblack:
I dont know if anyone else was experiencing problems with battery life, but I was able to fix mine with a simple wipe/reset. Not sure what it was draining it so quickly, but after a wipe, Im at 8 hours since charge and I'm down to 40% with moderate use. HUGE improvement to what it was.

[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
UPDATE: After this update, I was not able to get LCD Density Changer from the Android Market. I can't get it on my Photon and I can't get it on my Iconia. Yet clearly, it is on the Android Market. I was able to see it on the web site but when I piced the device to install it on, it will not let me chose either device. And this is happening more and more when I update that less and less apps from the market are available to my photon. It's not an issue with the update but it is becoming more apparent after each update. It's clearly a google account issue. Either that or LCD Density Changer was suddonly changed by the author to not be available to Photon users. Is anybody else able to install LCD Density Changer from the market or did it suddonly become unavailable to the Photon? I paid for this app and know it works on the Photon. Does anyone know what's going on?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Martysdroidx:
I downloaded the file 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf.gz

I opened the RSD Lite and I cannot get the file to show up. If I remove the GZ on the end of the file and shorten the title, it shows up. When I start the process, it immediately says process failed. Any ideas??

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------

I also extracted the file to my desktop and shorten the file name so the start button enables, it says internal error while programming phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mybikeisblack:
Checked, I also can't find it, found online the app, but says doesn't support all devices. Maybe just doesn't support this build. I'll see if I can find the apk file for it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Martysdroidx:
I'm trying to flash back to stock since I screwed the phone up. I can't get RSD Lite to work. I hope I can find a fix for it
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
When you extracted the file from the .gz extension you should have gotten a file of 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf. From there on RSD Lite, select the file above. Next make sure that your phone is rebooted and in "RSD protocol support" mode (hold power and vol up). Then click "Start" and it should begin....the process should take about 30 mins or so.

Check this video out. It should help you out.

[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Bump...
[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
Try getting rid of your drivers and reinstalling them making sure you have the correct bit rate for your OS. Try another USB port on your machine. Maybe RSD Lite doesn't like the port you are using? But this process should work for you.

---------- Post added at 10:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 AM ----------

Yes. I am happy to say that webtop seems to work perfectly for me. I just messed with it for about half an hour. No issues to report. It's almost like you're running an operating system that wants to be like windows only it has built in phone. Also, remember that if you use a familiar windows shortcut, try it. It probably works.

Anyone flash the 198 build can confirm if the Google video chat is working?
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Video chat is working for me
[Motorola Photon 4G] mfriggio:
MR3 is a live saver!
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Looks like video chat got fixed in the 198 build. You didn't load the hacked up version of google talk with video chat right or any custom rom? I assume you are running the stock rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
completely stock 198. I had initially tried to get the hacked version on here but ran into issues getting SU in ADB so i abonded it even before i started (but did fix the su issue).
[Motorola Photon 4G] ORam78:
Has anyone had any issues rooting this version. I ran into a roadblock while loading putty. Began with first command and the shell went haywire with a file not found error..very strange. Gonna try a reflash.

Edit: Going back to the official update....perhaps this is why this ain't out yet....something ain't right.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Thanks for confirming the Gtalk video chat issue. Also are you aware of any other changes so far? Is it stable or any known issues I should be aware of? I don't want to flash it if there are some outstanding issues.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
Link is down....

Is there another mirror available? I need to put my Photon back to stock. :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
Apps disappear after updating because Google hasn't approved the ROM fingerprint yet. Once Google does so, your phone will show everything in the Market again. Same thing happened with early downloaders of the previous build. It's a temporary thing, as long as this is an official update.

---------- Post added at 02:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

FileFactory mirror on page 45 just worked for me--downloading now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
I installed the 198 build no problem. Gtalk video chat is enabled, but I have no outgoing audio. Mic works fine for other apps. Any ideas what could be up here? Phone has never been rooted or hacked in any way. Thanks Juggs and crew :)

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

Also I have no outbound audio in voice chat inside Gtalk. Mic works fine for phone calls.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
Anyone Else?

Certainly I'm not the only one to have tried Gtalk on the leaked 198 build... anyone else have no outbound audio (both voice and video chat)? I don't want to hard-reset until I know it's working for others... Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Hopefully this is not true because any update from here means it may go out OTA. Hopefully it is something you need to fix on your phone because i would love to flash this update.

Also someone posted in post 11 of their experiences with the 198 build. Has your battery life been improved in the 198 build?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1273275&page=2
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
Couldn't tell you, because I only installed it earlier today and my MoPho's been plugged in all day. I'll not hard-reset until I know this ROM works for other people.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tbhausen:
Took One for the Team

Hard-reset, re-flashed, and still no outbound audio in Google Talk voice or video chat. Nothing else was installed at the time.

Yay 4 Juggs, I hope you can feed this back to your source before rollout. I'm pretty sure it's a legitimate bug now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
I have a newer release 198_6 but have not used video gtalk ever so cant say i know if it works or not...also discovered with newest build you wont have to do a hard reset if you're not rooted. If you want add me to gtalk and we can test it djfreake @ gmail . com

Thanks, Juggs, I'll invite you to a chat to see if it works from your end with 198_6 vs. my 198_5...
