Cool!!!!!!! i have a old n9000
[General Questions and Answers] cyborg719:
is it possible to try some latest Android?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I don't know who/what/when/where or how, the power button on Photon is missing? I have never dropped my device, I don't even toss it onto bed!!! I hope I dont get a new phone because it took me over a WEEK, 10 - 14 hours a day to get it like I wanted it!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] iSaint:
..... cool dude
[Motorola Photon 4G] beyondinferno:
That sucks bro. Happened to mine too. It's just held on by adhesive tape.
[Motorola Photon 4G] codee:
How is this under accessories? How is it under anything really...
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
OK, it appears its held on by some glue as I can see the white on the button on the bottom.

@Codee, I put it here becuase if I could (and I cant) find another button, I'd buy it and put it on myself.

Now: I'm a pretty easy going person, i rarely get upset at anything, life is too short. I go to Garden State Plaza to Sprint store to speak to one of the Brightest Minds in America. Her nametag says "Manager" so I know I have the correct person and I'm going to get top notch service!!! I tell her its broken, the power button fell off! The first thing out of her mouth was "Have you had the phone for 30 days or less?" (I will not insult you guys, phone came out August 1st, therefore, this chick cannot count!) After this hiccup, she ask where I got it? (Again, I will not insult you. I treat my toys well and I have insurance, I dont care if I got it in Mississippi, it says "Sprint" on it, you see my insurance on my account, give me a working phone!!!!) After 10 minutes on the phone with "whoever", she tells me I need the box because they need the IMEI #. ITS A BOX, I DONT GIVE A RATS...............I'm going back with box and phone at lunch.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Imei is under the battery too isn't it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
I will make this short and sweet, I got a new Photon. I'm pissed at the way I got it, but I got it. I could not figure out how to restore from my backup, so I started the pain staking task of putting it back like it was.

Now, I will bring some comedy to this thread!!

If you go to the Evo forum, the Fuze Forum.......any of them. Everyone can tell you I'm anal about my toys. If your here, you likely are too! My phone has special mouse pad to sit on everywhere.

I return to the same store with a guy I work with that used to do mobile support for our company. I talk to the same manager, she asked me the same 30-day question. I just turned around and looked at Will and srugged my shoulders. She then asked me to taked it to the technicians and signin. These 2 clowns come out and look at the phone, then then again ask me the 30-day question! The Photon is your flagship phone, its IMPOSSIBLE for me to have had it longer than 23 days!!! OK, we will replace it!

After 45 minutes, I get the same manager back. She tells me she needs to turn it on to make sure I did not root it. I have rooted/flashed likely 200+ times. Each one I'v done contain 4 things. Disclaimer that it will void your warranty, Instructions on how to Root/Flash, another Disclaimer that BEFORE you return to your carrier, and Instructions on how to un-root/Un-flash? One would think if I'm smart enough to root/flash, I would be smart enough to un-do it? Personally, I dont think she would know if i did or did not (Unless she noticed something like 'Sprint NASCAR" was missing?)

She then preceeds to tell me "This is clearly physical damage?" Again, I just turned and looked at co-worker. I asked her and the technican to find one single nick on that Photon! They tell me they cannot, but it was likely dropped. I say BS, show me.

I got tired of playing and had to get back from lunch. It dont matter, I have TEP and repair, you can't repair it, give me another one or similar phone per this $8.00 monthly TEP. She tells me physical damage is not covered. I say show me? After playing on her computer for 15 minutes, then a phone call, she gave me a new Photon.

Only at Sprint!!! Sad thing is, next year she will likely get promoted to CEO!!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nextelian:
What was the address of the store? Did you get any part of her name at all?

EDIT: Got it, Garden State Plaza store. I'm going to escalate your experience to help improve future customer interactions. I'm not sure if this is a Sprint owned store or a 3rd party, but it shouldn't matter. You should be treated better than that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
Garden State Plaza

Merchant ID: 8015689253

Jessica Mendez

It's the one above the food court (there are 4 Sprint Stores in this Mall. They have the one I mention on Second floor above food court. In the food court they have a 3D/Photon Setup. They have a kiosh outside JC Penny's. And they have a store on the other side of Macy's!)
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
What I think is, Honestly, each of these stores are owned by different individuals. Each store likely get's a quoto # of Photon's to sell. The Store by Macy's told me I had to take it back where I got it, likely because it would cut into the number of phones THEY had to sell. Where I got it, more or less, just gave away $600.00!!! Just my opinion!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nextelian:
You're right. I'm pretty sure that's a 3rd party store, but they should still be more helpful and sound less clueless. Sprint is working hard to overcome a bad reputation for customer service and things like this don't help.

I'm glad you finally got resolution, but it should have been handled in one trip. The whole thing about the box was a joke. I'm betting she was hoping you would hit a different store when you came back :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nextelian:
Honestly that exchange is a little hard to follow. Did you mention the billing problem to the rep in the original submission?

I think that maybe she was trying to solve a problem when what she should have done was escalate the issue to an area manager. Did you get the billing issue fixed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mybikeisblack:
I actually noticed a Photon at the store with the power button not attached. Believe me, I will return mine in the event that falls off.

Thats like receiving a phone with a glued on screen and being help accountable if that glue wheres off and my screen is no longer attached.
[Motorola Photon 4G] justforflashing:
To me it sounds like alot of people talking about policies and processes that they have NO OBVIOUS idea how they work.

Lets start:

First...the Evo 3D is Sprints "flagship" phone. Look up the definition if you need further assistance.

Second...ALL returns, regardless of 3rd party or Company owned require the original box when returned or a fee will be accessed. Its in your contract you sign. Try for starters to read it thoroughly before yelling and screaming at the ones of us that work for Sprint and can help you if you help yourself! ;)

Can this be overridden? OF COURSE...but if your attitude sucks, chances are youre not going to get the "customer service" you think you are deserved.

Third...as for TEP, its Total Equipment Protection, not Insurance! BIG DIFFERENCE! This is to assist you in the cost reduction of a new device if something happens to yours. Again, reading the TEP agreement, physical damage is noted as obvious damage or missing components. YES I know, its a flaw in the design, BUT UNTIL Motorola releases a statement to Sprint verifing that this is a "known issue" with this device it will be looked at as physical damage! (Return a car to a dealer after 2 weeks with a missing door handle and see what happens...just sayin)

Fourth...its not as easy as walking in and saying "I want a new phone. Give it to me now". Again, this goes back to your TEP agreement and Sprints 30 day policy. If within 30 days, its exchange/replaced. Now, if you purchase at a Company owned store, you can return it at a Company owned store ANYWHERE. However, if you purchase it from a 3rd pary dealer, you must return it at one of their locations. This can be overridden thru customer care, but you will get NOWHERE in store. This is just the way this process works.

Fifth...understand that the person that you are dealing with in store has all the control, and its usually based off of the attitude the customer has. You yell and scream and act a fool, Im not doing **** for you. Flip side, youre calm and understanding of the processes Sprint has in place, Im gonna make SURE that you are taken care of. (Free accessory, bill credit, something...)

Hope this may lay to rest those that are only customers that think they are the CEO.

...And let the rage ensue..........
[Motorola Photon 4G] jbuggydroid:
To be fair I have also walked into a sprint store and was mistreated by a person from the get go. I did nothing wrong or had any kind of bad attitude with them. I just knew the policies better then they did. Luckily a manager noticed the situation and took over helping me.

I do agree tho that some people do have horrible attitudes on both sides. Sad thing is it is those events that get blasted online. In your case I completely understand. The warranty question was ridiculous.

Also I have had beter experience at a corporate store than a 3rd party one and I always askif the store I am going to is corporate or not. I stay away from the 3rd party stores.

Does anyone know how to fix it to turn back on? i need help. Is it bricked? if so how do i fix it since i got it of Craigslist i cant get an new one from tmobile.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
I can't honestly say I know what's wrong with your phone, but try getting into the bootloader. Hold the volume down and power buttons for about 5 seconds and it will boot up. Then you can try and reboot through that menu, or factory reset from there if necessary.

And if you're phone won't even turn on to go into that, then maybe it's a hardware problem.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaqqq:
I tried that already and it still wont turn on at all..
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlanB412:
Try and see if using a different battery will work. It really sounds like you're having a hardware problem. Hopefully it's just a faulty battery or something and not that something shorted out inside.

Bit of help needed here please guys, im new to the sensation but have flashed hd2's and my old desire before this, hers where i am.....

Ok i was following the guide by viper in the development section, i managed:

step 1 - how to s-off

step 2 - installing clockwork 4.0.1.4

then i got stuck halfway thru 'step 3'

i managed to copy file 'su-2.3.6.3-ef-signed.zip' to the root of my memory card and backup my current (stock) rom. but then at step 5 i try to install the zip from sdcard and its not in the directory ???? But if i check the memory card the files there !!!!

What am i missing guys ????

Scrap that - my fault entirely....

I needed to scroll down as the files were out of sight... with them being zip files they were after the folders - D'oh !!!!!

so i had rooted my 2.3.4 phone and installed gingerblur on it, now im dealing with a problem it seems to be in bootloop, and i have tried to wipe all the data/cache and still no boot :/ and i noobishly did not back up my phone and the gingerblur is on the internal card and not on my external, any idea? i have rsd on there but i dont know if my usb debugging is enabled.

helppp lol
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
Ok. Search the android development forums for fruitcake. Download the 2.3.4 fruitcake onto your computer. Take your sd card out of your phone and hopefully u have a mini sd card holder so u can plug into your computer to put the fruitcake on your external sd card. Once its on, boot into fastboot and erase system, user data, webtop, preinstall, boot, and cache. Then fastboot reboot into recovery and flash the fruitcake.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
when i turn it down and hold the volume down there are quite a bit of options to choose from

alrighty sorry about all the questions

sorry not reading

and what should i type into cmd for the flashing of fruitcake
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
fastboot erase system

fastboot erase data

...etc...

Just go through and erase what Phalanx621 listed and then boot into recovery. Make sure you

do NOT erase the recovery

.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Alternatively, you can just use "fastboot -w" to clear the data and cache in one shot. Just thought I throw that in there...

But you still have to do system, webtop, preinstall, and boot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
how do i flash fruitcake? do i just NvFlash or what
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
After you finish erasing everything you just power down the phone and then power it up while holding down "VOL Down" and wait for it to say "Fastboot", then press the "VOL Down" until it says "Android Recovery" and then press "VOL Up". You should be able to flash using the menu there. Of course, it would help if you had Tenfar's or romracer's recovery. Do you have either one of those?

If not, you will have to go to one of their threads, download it to your computer, put it in the same folder as fastboot, reboot into fastboot, and then run the commands:

fastboot erase recovery

fastboot flash recovery "file name.img" (make sure you type in the file name exactly)

After that, you can boot into recovery and flash the fruitcakes by using "flash from zip" > "external SD"
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defnow:
Right there buddy.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
you have to be more specific about where you're getting these errors

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Are you leaving the quotation marks out of the command?

Also, why is it called root.img? It should be a recovery. If that's what you renamed it then it should be fine. Which recovery are you using? have you tried typing "fastboot devices" to make sure it is recognized?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
i guess i dont know the orginal recovery name from tenfars cwm so its not flashing it it just fails every time
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
im so lost right now -____-
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Just download romracer's recovery from the link I gave you a few posts ago and make sure the img file is in the same location as fastboot on your computer, then boot into fastboot, and run the necessary commands. It doesn't get any easier than that, there are instructions in the link as well. Take a deep breath and reread everything to make sure you're doing it in the right order and you have the right files and all that. Once you get a working recovery then you can flash the fruitcakes.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
what would happen if i didnt have usb debugging on? idk if its on or not
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Don't panic, as long as you can boot into fastboot you'll be fine. Like I said, go through some of the other threads to get an idea.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
That doesn't matter because you're not booted into the OS. So don't worry about that.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Try to give me an idea of where you're at.

Were you able to boot into fastboot and run the "erase" commands?

Can you confirm that, when in fastboot, your phone is recognized using "fastboot devices"?

Do you have the recovery file(img) in the same place as the fastboot.exe on your computer?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
i am not able to erase

when i type in fastboot devices i get TA2070GRNV

and yes its in the same folder as fastboot.exe and its called recovery-atrix3.2.img
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Okay, so while in it's still in fastboot, just try this:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix3.2.img

and see if that works.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
i typed that in and it said failed
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Have you tried booting into recovery? I think I remember you saying it didn't give an option to flash from zip, is that right? You might want to find the "moto-fastboot" files, I've heard they work better. Let me see if I can find where they were.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:

http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

and then i did this

http://briefmobile.com/atrix-4g-rom-installation-guide

whenever it rebooted it didnt go past the motorola screen

i accidentally nvflash it

i also went into android recovery

and wiped my phone

does that screw all this up?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I'm def not an expert so i don't know for sure but I think as long as you have fastboot you should be fine. Here is the "moto-fastboot" folder.

http://hotfile.com/dl/122055970/0a6dfce/moto-fastboot.zip.html

try this with the erase commands and the recovery img.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
OK so here is the elephant that no one is noticing...

why did you flash gingerblur onto 2.3.4?

gingerblur is for 1.8.3. it does NOT work on 2.3.4 which is why you are in this position in the first place.

once you do get your device working again, do NOT flash gingerblur.

did you unlock your bootloader? did you try installing a fruitcake via the CWM you already have flashed?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
im stuck in fastboot now everything i try it says failed to process command

EDIT: except when i type in reboot
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Just press the power button or pull the battery if necessary. Also, when using the moto-fastboot folder you need to type in "moto-fastboot" instead of just "fastboot"
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
still nothing lol
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I'm stumped. I've never had this issue so I'm just going off what I have read from other people. Is the phone plugged into a "rear" port on the computer? I've heard sometimes a "front" port does not supply enough power to run commands...that's just what I've heard anyways, but it's worth a shot if that's the case.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
thanks for the help man if i get it figured out i will let you know what i did
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
do you have the version of tenfars that DOESN'T see external SD cards? i.e. when you go into recovery, and go to apply zip from SD card, does it only let you access the internal SD card?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garrett_tx:
no external also
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dLo GSR:
OK, so like someone suggested earlier, did you try downloading a 2.3.4 fruitcake, putting it onto your external SD card via a card reader, putting it back in your phone and then opening recovery and flashing that .zip?

yes and it says

and everytime i try to flash a recovery it also fails

if i type in devices it shows one

i have tried using fruit cake and it says E:verification failed

i have tenfars recovery right now

does anyone have any ideas?
