As I figured, the pudding remover will not let you keep custom recovery. Of course the locked bootloader still checks signatures/checksums. Thanks to tuxy for the testing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
Any eta on the moto code release and or getting 4g to live with an unlocked bootloader?

Also I was under the impresstion part of the unlocking process came from an moto inside source ...if so any feedback about the 4g/unlocked bootloader issues?

I really think this little phone should be building up a head of steam but the 4g/unlocked bootloader issue seem to maybe be preventing that right now may because of moto history of being a pain in the ass on these kind of things? thoughts?
[Motorola Photon 4G] the2dcour:
I doubt 4g issue is keeping development at bay here. If WiMax is anything like H+ on my Atrix, I wouldn't lose much sleep if I lost it.

I think the lack of an up-to-date kernel source and any kernel devs (do you guys have people who can recode the kernel?) is what keeps you from moving forward. I don't even see a spot for the Photon on moto sourceforge. Someone needs to step on Moto's toes about this, they are legally required to give your kernel source code.
[Motorola Photon 4G] redhatter:
Actually, WiMax is excellent for me in the So Cal area I get a solid 10+meg down 1.5+meg up

In fact, I have set up several Clear WiMax modems as DSL replacement for business

Sadly WiMax is getting a very unfair bad rap that has nothing to do with the technology …

WiMax and LTE are very much equals as “last mile” layer 2 technology (the wireless data link between your phone and the tower)…

People seem to be oblivions to the different in the network hardware infrastructures behind the WiMax or LTE wireless link…

That “Clear” a cash strapped start up vs “Verizon” …what do you expect in a fight between these two?

Sprint bought in to Clear it seems now to me to do a quick and dirty (and cheaper) build out of the WiMax network and the network infrastructures to support the speed possible over the WiMax data link are not their…(business politics is driving and impacting WiMax vs LTE for more the any difference in the technologies)

Background for me to say that….I have worked in large global data backbones since 1993 for BT Infonet and AT&T ..x25, TDMA, Frame Relay, ATM, MPLS, IP, ect…

Performance is a sum of the entire span on the link… upgrading just one segment of the span will not improve performance is just moves the choke points and reveals other network weak point …It' classic to see people point the finger at the new technologies as not living up to its billing being the issue in cases like this

You can drop a v8 in a car that had a 4 but if you do not upgrade the transmission, rear end, brakes, ect ect ect…you going to see problems
[Motorola Photon 4G] fatcobra:
Don't know why but i keep getting an error when i try flashing thru RSD.. Is it because i have the latest OTA?
[Motorola Photon 4G] yginesta:
Rooting the phone

A moto-fastboot flashable /system image with su already in /system/bin (pre-reooted)

--- I cant figure out the above. How can you do that. I tried to copy and past the file in that directory and it wont let me. I have tried several file browsers.

In this part below I get an error and I am assuming that it is because of the issue with the SU permission not being in the system/bin folder.

1) Boot your phone in to fastboot mode, connected to PC.

2) At the prompt/cmdline type moto-fastboot flash system system.img

I get error and something about the file being too big.

Any ideas as to what I can do to solve this??
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Tried to flash the nopudding4u sbf file and it failed, tried to reboot and it said failed to boot 4 starting rsd mode. Just going to flash the full stock mr5. Just thought you may want to know.

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] the2dcour:
You still had custom recovery installed didn't you?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Yes, why? Do I just flash it via recovery? Cuz it doesn't show up as a flashable zip. And also I got failed during flash in RSD lite. I have no problem flashng the whole mr5 file. Not sure why I would have trouble flashing this one.

I'm not even to the point of using the recovery, I was just going to install the bootstrap after I relocked the BL. I read that part.
[Motorola Photon 4G] the2dcour:
Yeah, you have to revert to stock recovery before using pudding remover. I'll try to make that more clear in my OP. Otherwise you could just keep the custom recovery ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] mastermayhm:
thanks for posting this...i would have never tried to continue onto fastboot if you hadnt mentioned trying it
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
How would one do that beings there is no stock recovery file to go back to? Or is there and I just missed it? I guess I don't understand why the recovery would have anything to do with the bootloader. Doesn't make sense to me. That is like saying that your BIOS depends on what kind of operating system your using. (Just in my head, that's the way I think) I hope that makes sense to you. I guess what I'm saying is that why does the recovery mean anything when we aren't using that anyways, you know, cuz we would be using bootstrap.

Or does the bootloader we flash utilize the stock recovery to finish the flash?

Sorry it's early, not sure if I'm making sense much.

-DJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] the2dcour:
Because locked bootloaders check everything for authenticity, except for the user space. It checks for authentic kernel, recovery, etc. Examples of non-userspace data includes /system, /osh, /data, and similar partitions (basically anything that gets written to on a regular basis ever).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Djspinister:
Understood. Thanks for that. I didn't know there were checks involved, but I should have guessed. Is there a stock recovery zip/img that we have access to, or could one be made? Thanks

HELLLPPP!!!

Every time i try to load photon pudding this is the error i get. PLEASE HELP!

"secure_motorola_flash" interface could not be found the super-file is secure and for re-flash, the phone needs a super-file that is not secure and for reflash. (0x7066)
[Motorola Photon 4G] the2dcour:
Made one, it is in the same section as the remover and includes instructions now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kgeeez:
I am having the same issue I have tried unrooting then flashing threw RSD, I have moving the software to another computer, I have tried the 400 MB pudding, the 1MB pudding , abd even tried flashing 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf threw RSD first , then flashing both puddings after that. Still all I get is an error in RSD lite with an error about this secure super file after RSD gets to 98% while it is processing some BP command. I have spent days trying to figure this out. I use to flash my EVO like STREAKER on a college anitiaton day, I now see how spoied I was. I have disected every furom on this please help!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] the2dcour:
I posted some suggestions at the bottom of the OP earlier today, I know people had that problem and fixed it. Wish I could be of more help but I don't have a Photon to get that error with ;)

to use sbf flash do i still put the phone to rsd or one of the other options
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
yes must be in rds mode

[Motorola Photon 4G] kgbcapthowdy:
i have tried multiple ports, after restarting pc, reinstalling drivers. it fails everytime. whether i use the 1mb file or the 400mb file. win xp with the correct drivers.

edit: after still failing i kept going and everything unlocked ok.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mfriggio:
+1

I need to get the "unlocked" removed from the boot screen. There has to be a way...even if it is only cosmetic (and the phone is still unlocked).
[Motorola Photon 4G] the2dcour:
Hmm maybe it doesn't like that you are rooted after all. Sigh. You will also need a stock /system. Probably easier to just flash the entire stock/locked sbf at this point.

edit: It's also possible that removing the su binary will fix this:

Note: you will have to grant super user access on your phone's screen after the su command is issued.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mfriggio:
It says its a "read only file system"
[Motorola Photon 4G] jtmercutio:
So, I am rooted (am I not supposed to be rooted to flash this?), and with RSD Lite I flash pudding_stock_unlock.sbf, and it goes thru the unlocking process, gets to 99% for executing, then says "FAIL" the error message I get is "Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode"

I have turned usb debugging off, turned it on, I am rooted now, down to get unrooted however i have to do that. Would love some suggestions?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DiamondNate:
Hello

Unfortunately I just received a new HTC Evo 4g with 2.3.3 pre-installed after turning in my old HTC Evo with a dead pixel. My old EVO was rooted and flashed with 2.3.3. I did a complete back up just after rooting my phone and after installing GB 2.3.3.

My question is would I be able to do a restore back to one of those dates without messing up my phone?

I appreciate your help and look forward to a response.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Prodigy:
What did you backup with? ClockWorkMod Recovery or something else?

Pretty please....
[Xoom Themes and Apps] petrosl:
where are they located
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
No one seemed to wanna help me so I had to figure this out myself :D

Started with the Europe RUU and patched the files from the OTA zip posted earlier today, rooted, the whole 9 yards.

What you get:

1.45.401.2 Android 2.3.4

disabled boot sound (I had to, sorry!)

rooted & busybox installed

odexed

unsecure boot.img

love

Deodexed version comes with all of the above plus:

busybox runparts support (init.d)

/data/app enabled

nano & bash shell

deodexed

extra love

Older kernels do not seem to work (2.3.3 ones), so you will have to stick with this stock kernel for now. I have a TMO US Sensation and everything seems to be working fine on my end (I

AM

running the new radio, btw).

Flash with CWM.

Note for odexed ROM!! - I mucked up the Settings.apk and included a wrong one. The correct files are in there but need to be renamed before you flash, or flash the file I linked below IMMEDIATELY after you flash the ROM (before rebooting). Deodexed version is unaffected. Sorry for the trouble!

Download Odexed -d40386a3258546ee1bd760588007d2bd

Odex Settings Flashable fix - flash immediately after

Downdload Deodexed - 71aeba2d1ae00813458b78bda5c188a0

Deodex Flashable Settings.apk fix - or just push this Settings.apk

Instructions for those not so sure which to download:

Download deodex version

Download Deodex Settings.apk flashable right below it

Place both on SD

reboot to recovery and make a nandroid backup

wipe dalvik cache (and data if you choose, I recommend doing so)

flash deodex

flash settings.apk fix

reboot
[HTC Sensation] CdTDroiD:
Nice one man, will be helpfull to many :D
[HTC Sensation] baadnewz:
yah now all will make a super mega uber fast .... rom :)

thanks for release, users who like all stock will be happy
[HTC Sensation] sparta77:
Bug

(Do NOT Flash this ROM!) - FIXED:)

There is no Settings application!!!!!!!!:confused::confused::confused:

And in Menu also!!!

:eek::eek::eek:

:D
[HTC Sensation] MatMew:
Am I missing something? What's so good about this. o_o
[HTC Sensation] Sdobron:
Good things ahead.
[HTC Sensation] teshxx:
Great work. How did you apply the OTA patch "HTC_Europe_1.45.401.2-1.35.401.1" to "HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1" ?? Did you update your phone then backup and used that in the kitchen ?

Thanx
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
There is no settings app. Attempting to start settings from the status bar crashes the status bar process...

Nice :\

Flashed with CWM.
[HTC Sensation] technomania34:
+1 Same prob.
[HTC Sensation] pjim:
It's unanimous. Settings are missing.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Sorry fellas, was experimenting with one and forgot to get rid of it, you can run the following commands to get it back (it should be on your phone, I just renamed it, look at the zip :D).

Open up your zip and delete Settings.apk in /system/app and rename Settings.apk.bak to Settings.apk and then rename Settings.odex.bak to Settings.odex then flash away.

Or the hard way:

roman$ adb remount
remount succeeded

roman$ adb shell
sh-3.2# cd /system/app
sh-3.2# rm Settings.apk
sh-3.2# mv Settings.apk.bak Settings.apk
sh-3.2# mv Settings.odex.bak Settings.odex

roman$ adb reboot recovery
**wipe dalvik cache in recovery**

reuploading a newer version.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Ripped the patch zip apart, took out any references to firmware, flashed the patch file upgrade.

In the firmware.zip were the boot.img & radio.imgs i flashed among other things I was way too scared to touch :)
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
So any "reviews" on 2.3.4, is battery life better? Anything new?

Also a question.

If I install this, would I be able to extract my backup rom of Anroid Revolution and take the apps out aswell as other things like contacts and just slap em on my SD card or in System/apps and have it all work again?
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Just do a nandroid backup before, flash over, if you get no issues, great! If you start seeing issues, nandroid back, or do a /data wipe in recovery. But theoretically you should be able to.

Deodexed version is also up. flashed and seems to be working great.
[HTC Sensation] pjim:
I did it! Just flashed it over my old ROM and it worked like an update. Settings working, probably because old ones weren't overwritten. I'm gonna keep using it and report any problems.

Also I used root explorer to fix settings.
[HTC Sensation] willhub:
You sure it'll work ok?

I've got Android Revolution HD with No Sense (So all HTC Sense is removed)

Still safe to just flash over?
[HTC Sensation] pjim:
It worked for me. I flashed over training wheels.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Honestly no, but theoretically it SHOULD work. Do a nandroid, and then you have nothing to be scared of :).
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
Since I have to re-flash I renamed the files within the zip. Let's see if it works :)

Also, is it safe to just remove a couple of files from the zip? I'm thinking about bloatware naturally...

It might be a silly question, but I've never messed with roms before :)
[HTC Sensation] |Melvin|:
i dont like you and all but thanks.
[HTC Sensation] derkie:
flashed the deodex version - no settings

just to report.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Seriously? Wonder what the hell is up... it works for some but not others. Let me do a full /system wipe and see what's going on.

Sorry guys...
[HTC Sensation] derkie:
i've done full sweep before flashing.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Yes if you don't remove the wrong things :)
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Did you wipe dalvik cache? I think that may have something to do with it.

I just wiped /system in recovery, flashed deodexed version. Settings work great.

Edit: Let me just upload what I've got on my phone and see if that helps.
[HTC Sensation] derkie:
i did a Full wipe, yes dalvik cache as well. I always do this when testing roms. thanks by the way.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Unzip and push to system and let me know what happens...
[HTC Sensation] tvj2009:
deodex version:

I have "Quick settings" , but if I tap to "All settings", "Status bar" app crashed with "Tell HTC" button. Wipe I have done. Did not help.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Get you get me a logcat?

Edit: I'm getting it now, I'll be back with a fix :)

Edit2: sob, I know exactly what happened. Here's a freshly deodexed version. Works for me. Push to /system/app. I guess I'll just reupload both files since I messed them both up LOL.

The real settings.apk never deodexed properly and it was just the old Settings.apk that I forgot to delete. Live and learn :).
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Posted a flashable fix in the OP. Should be working now.
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
So which files on the first link am i suppose to run first?
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
If you downloaded odex, flash the one under the odex download
[HTC Sensation] derkie:
This one works. Thanks. will report back
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
So before i do anything i just did a nandroid:

To be sure. I run in these steps with CWR:

1) 1.45.401.2_rooted_busybox.zip

2) 1.45.401.2_deodex_settings_fix.zip

correct?

PS: of course i will do a fullwipe first.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Technically you should have run the rooted_busybox and then the odex_settings_fix
[HTC Sensation] cpittman:
Seriously? Hopefully that was a joke cause u sure like using his work in your roms lol.
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
ok now i am confused. You have two 300meg files there. Do i need to run both of them...tell you what, could you please list out the steps.

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] tvj2009:
Took Settings file from this post and replaced it in the system/app folder, rebooted. The same crash, log sent you as pm.
[HTC Sensation] cpittman:
odexed = flash rom then flash fix posted below it.

deodexed = flash rom then flash fix posted below OR push the settings apk manually to /system/apps. both achieve exactly the same thing.
[HTC Sensation] zmfl:
So I played around with the ROM a little, returned the settings to normal and removed about 10 useless apps.

And it works brilliant!

NO LAG. If you thought you had no lag before, you are wrong. Even when Sense worked smooth it gave about 20-24 fps at best. Now it's actually silky smooth (almost) all the time. Like a bloody dual core phone should be.

It's not down to my minor removal of bloat, it's down to the update. This time it actually fixed things.

Thanks birgertime :)
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
Guys you're probably mixing the versions.

ODEX & DEODEX are very different. If you do not know what the difference is, please download deodex.
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
I will in the OP too. I should have in the first place.

Download deodex version

Download Deodex Settings.apk flashable right below it

in recovery wipe dalvik cache (and data if you choose)

flash deodex

flash settings.apk fix

reboot
[HTC Sensation] matmar:
TY

not even one issue or bug here !

thank you a lot...
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
are both roms rooted.
[HTC Sensation] matmar:
Read OP...
[HTC Sensation] cpittman:
yes sir they sure are.
[HTC Sensation] cenwesi:
thanks, must have just updated. my only question now is do i need the 1.45.401.2_rooted_busybox.zip file?
[HTC Sensation] Romanbb:
that is the odexed version
[HTC Sensation] cpittman:
I believe you are confused. there are two versions of the same rom posted. the first is an odexed version which is probably of no use to you. there is also a flashable fix for the settings bug which you must flash after flashing the rom. the second version is a deodexed version of the SAME ROM. that is the one you most likely want. below that are two options which both achieve the same result. one is a flashable fix for the settings bug and the other is just the settings apk for those who would rather push the file manually instead of using the flashable fix.
[HTC Sensation] Redshark976:
Odex = same as stock..
[HTC Sensation] cqms13:
ok - flashed both deodex'd files

press
