actually, i say accident but all i did was a factory wipe from cwm, when i selected "previous", it took me to the previous menu but instead of all the usual options, it just said reboot, when i rebooted, thats when it went haywire and came back into cwm and shows partition as being wiped. i got cwm back on and reflashed the rom and everything was fine. but i couldn't update my prl or profle.

---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

so i sbf to the 154 sbf and it is still stuck at the contacting network screen.

im beyond frustrated. but it wont ccontact the sprint network for some reason.

do i have any other options? should i have done a factory reset prior to rsd'ing the 154 sbf? i had previously put the 198_6 sbf on here

Wipe and flash 198-7
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
will try that. hope it works

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

did not work. ready to throw this phone through a wall

---------- Post added at 02:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

i give up. ive wiped, flashed back to stock and its still not contacting the network. i can boot into android fine if i use the bypass BP option. but then i have no radios. so if its something i can do once its booted up, im willing to try anything. just dont understand wtf is going on
[Motorola Photon 4G] hjcg2001:
Joker when are you releasing v2 version with 1080p i cant wait to try it! Greetings
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Get it replaced.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Well ive been trying to port the camera from 254 but havnt had luck yet. I may post a system zip of 254 but 254 is buggy. One option is to use a different camera with 1080p.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
So I go into ##data# and my userbane is blank as well as my device IP. Not sure if that's y I have no data? I can receive phone calls, just no data services....
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
Take to sprint have them reprogram it if the rep is cool won't cost a penny just say it stalled and froze like that during an ota update
[Motorola Photon 4G] nemanracing:
I have had the same issue with loosing the ability to connect to data services, more specifically 3g. I was able to manually program my phone so voice and text work. And 4g worked as well. But my device would not connect to 3g in such it would also not ota program(update profile/prl). I tried everything from using rsd to reload the older versions, to trying to manually program data. nothing worked. I am a tech rep in a service and repair center for sprint. I called employee tech services and spent an hour on the phone with them trying everything to get data to work. After all the the rep told me to talk to my manager to have the device swapped out. Now I realize I prob messed up somewhere. I am not sure where but I believe it is when i flashed 198_7 over my setup with out first going back to 198_6. I could be wrong but that's the only thing I can think of. If i find out anymore info I post up to try and help others.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Would this be the same as them walking me through on the phone using the ##mslnumber# procedure? Or do they do something completely different at the store?
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Same exact issue I'm having. I had 198_6 installed though. Went to 198_7 sbf had issues. I can make phone calls, no 3g though. 4g works. Its frustrating. Ima see if they can send me a replacement. Lady on the phone talking about doing a inyrance claim. Don't need a claim, its nor damaged. Its defective.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
Not sure i had to leave phone with them for about 2 hours store was real busy and the rep had to download some file to fix it....2 hours later they contact me says its ready and he reprogrammed it. This happened 2 days after having phone. I tried the unlock/lock method to keep 4g ended up wiping everything off phone all it would do is fail to boot 2 & 4 eventually drained battery completely couldnt rsd or even charge it. Sprint was only answer i had.sorry for thread jack

On topic: are you making a jokerstock rev2 with the skinny rev2 what about the theme? Theme was sick that moving pulldown animation was unreal. Wasn't to keen on the battery icon though looked too big to me. Loving the j.stock though not one issue ive had that wasn't user error
[Motorola Photon 4G] hodiedodie:
Another sprint technical consultant here. We have not been givin any specific tools for the photon. I use the same files and programs that are on this forum. This is where i find them. He probably just brought up your account in RMS or eTicket and manually put in the programing info.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
both rooted and unlocked. i flashed skinnyrev0.zip via CWM
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
And you still get a connecting network error? Try wiping data, cache, and dalvik cache, and reflash it again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I think you have to delete something to skip sprint activation. Look a couple pages back, someone mentioned it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
i`ll try it to do it again, thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I just checked my multiupload account and people from 15 countrys have downloaded skinny
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Awesome Man. So, I can't get the theme to work. Not sure why. It's pissing me off though. It keeps giving me an aborted on install.

Edit..

So I looked under system/app and there is a SprintService.apk that you could try to delete and see if that fixes your issue. Not sure what it's linked to though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
he needs to delete sprintomadm.apk from /system/app
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Gotcha. Right on. Thanks for the heads up. :]
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
there 2 ways to do it: delete before flashing in the zip file or delete after flashing using adb shell, since USB debugging is enabled in this firmware by default (rechecked by myself). Because I didn't want to stop to contact network for me too.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pswin09:
Hey I also asian. Trick is before you flash, you need to unpack zip and delete sprintOMADM and sprintservice apks from system/app folder.Then rezip it & flash.I normally use rootexplorer to do this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
it is too late i`ve formatted everything in mount and storage menu in CWM and phone doesnt starts, heeeelp
[Motorola Photon 4G] pswin09:
format? wow.. use yay rom to refresh if it is in your memory card.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Dude, can you j get back to RSD mode to reflash SBF?
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
And then what?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Did you make a backup in cwm before flashing the rom? If so just restore.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Well, it was only if your phone had trouble booting up and loading, but if you flash the SBF, it'll get you back to a good starting point to re-try flashing the rom. otherwise, if you can get back into CWM, restore your backup as suggested!
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
i can get to CWM but there is nothing to do. No backup.
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
Next time, have a back up...it'll save a lot of painful work. Are you still unlocked and rooted? If so, in CWM, wipe data/cache/dalvik cache and install the ROM again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] anaragayevafr:
I think i cant explain my situation. I`ve formatted everything i can get to CWM but there is nothing to flash everything is deleted. It still shows unlocked on the top left when moto logo appears. If there is any way to copy the zip file to internal sd (i haven`t got micro SD) i think i can reflash it
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
I think it's better to flash stock sbf file first, then do all unlock + cwm procedures again, then copy zip file and then flash firmware from zip.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Hey, I might have figured it out. When yay first released sbf 198-7, he said 3g data was broken and later released a "fix" I don't think I ever applied this fix. My 3g was working, but I could never connect to sprint to update my profile.

I would of assumed the 154 sbf would have fixed all that.

Antone have this "fix"?? Or the sbf with the fix already patched in?

If I have to spend another second on the phone with sprint, ima lose it lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Joker - I see in one of ur earlier post that u accidebtly wiped ur radio, I wonder if I did the same. How did u fix it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
not sure if this is what you are talking about but if it is here it is

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12000430/update 1024 (working data).zip

its the fixed data zip from this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202666

i just moved it to public so give it a minute
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Yeavv that's it I believe. Ima try this when I get home since I'm stick, unrooted and locked lol.

Thanks man. I hope this works. Read back through the thread and saw people with similar issues. I never used the update file but after I flashed to 198-7, u thought my data was good until I tried to activate the phone or update my profile.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I wiped flash 154 then 198-7
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
The pulldown was eating battery i may rerelease as a partial theme.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Does it matter if we use the factory wipe in the settings menu or android recovery?

Did u wipe in between flashing 154 and 198-7?

I think I will wipe, do what u did, then flash the 1024 update with fixed data because I never flashed that. Hopefully it will fix my issue because under data profile, my usernane is blank and I have no idea what my username is lol.

Also, which 154 sbf should I be using? 4, 5, or 6?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
wipe before, 154-5 let it activate then 198-7

the 1024.zip wont work

if all else fails ##786# and factory reset

still nothing

then ##data# and manually enter your username and password, you'll need to call sprint to get this info. i recommend you get your msl, msid, esn dec and hex, meid dec and hex, msn, imei, username, password and basically everything in that same screen. put it in a text file and keep. yes you can probable tell i had to do something similar
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
ok i'm confused....i was rooted....unlocked my bootloader...which then had 154 flashed cwm....then flashed over to the new twrp recovery....tested it...worked fine

was rooted and unlocked

came to try out this rom...so i saw that it needs to be the 198-7 so i flashed a sbf

now my phone is workin on the 198-7 but i lost my unlock and when i go to recovery i get the android error screen..no more twrp

what do i need to do now???
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Lmao. Damn I was thinking me never updating the old 198-7 sbf with broken data was the culprit.

I have my msl, my user name under data profile is blank. I will have to call sprint to get this. Hopefully I get someone halfway intelligent instead of a bum off the street reading a manual
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Just re-unlock, then put flash the recovery again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
unlock and do the recovery flash steps again. everytime you flash a sbf you must reunlock and reflash your recovery
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
I need to find the 198-7 with the data fix. I think the sbf I have is the old one before yay patched it
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
check the sbf file links topic in development should be in there or in the compendium in development all the sbf's are in there
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
I only see username, reverse tunneling, ha spi, AAA spi, device IP, primary ha IP, and secondary ha IP

Where would I input all those inside, MSN, Meuse, etc numbers?
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
I just found a working link. The other one listed was expired
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
the data fix was to fix a mess up he did when he made the deodex build. there is no data fix for the sbf, it works perfectly. you need to reprovision your phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] lucidvtec:
ya thats what i did...but was able to skip a couple steps

the new twrp recovery is awesome....just flashed skinny rev1...it's booting now

thx for the help and all ur hard work
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Ill give sprint a call here in a few to get all the info. Really hope I can resolve this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
What I mean is I still have the old sbf he messed up before he fixed it, so unless I owbliad the stock sbf all over, wouldn't I need to flash the 1024 fix?
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Joker - guess what, somehow my phone was partially activated. I could make calls, no 3g....so I open up sprintzone app for the hell of it, and at the top it tells me my device is not activated. Strange because I could make calls. So I activate it, it reboots and now its all good again lol

3 hours on the phone wasted with Sprint....
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Lol, i had to endure the 3 hour call once too. Glad you got it going
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Still can't update my profile. Gonna flash this 1024 update since the 198-7 I flashed is the broken one. Hope it works
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
What 198
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202666

that one. i downloaded it the first day yay posted it, but never downloaded the new updated one. now that i am looking for it, the link is dead. i did a search and most of the links i came across are expired

so im about to flash the 1024 update to see iff that fixes my "contacting network" issue. i was able to do it before the 198_7 update...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
All of my roms are 1024.zip data fix based
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
right now im stock. i didn't know it was so i'll flash that and report back
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
Neither helped, but data is working, just can't update profile

Any way to fix voice dialing on Skinny rev 1? I installed voice search but that does not work. Im trying to get the microphone icon on the stock dialer to work, it presently doesn't do anything. Thanks in advance.

Joker can we install kernels without being unlocked?

---------- Post added at 09:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------

Actually where is the skinny electrify link?! I can't follow the directions seeing that according to the person on page 105 said use the electrify skinny...

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:50 PM ----------

Electrify 2.3.5, tried to install Skinny4g test, and it gave me a Failed to boot 2, GREAT.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
I removed it until i build the beta test of rev2.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
After resbfing, and installing rev1 for locked bootloader, its working so it seems, I guess I'll find out shortly once I get in and start looking around. I wish we could remove that damn US Cellular startup.

---------- Post added at 11:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 PM ----------

Well after trying the rev1 for locked bootloader, i'm getting tons of force closes due to the Sprint files fcing it says...

---------- Post added at 11:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:11 PM ----------

Nevermind found the electrify link on a different page, and well see how it works this round...
[Motorola Photon 4G] kusanagi-sama:
I wonder, does the "SecureBootKey" in /sys/firmware/fuse have anything to do with 4G not working when unlocked? (the other files in that directory might have use in helping to retain 4G on unlock)
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
Well, Joker I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what's the deal, but Skinnyrev1 isn't working on the Electrify 2.3.5, so I'm not sure if I missed something but I followed the steps...

Let me know...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Are you unlocked
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
So my lock screen disappeared just like some other peoples. I kinda like it so
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
No, we still haven't got a unlock for 2.3.5, so I used the Locked Version you had...
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
You have to use the electrify build.prop
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Look out for a 400+ mb rom coming soon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] pir8man:
major update. that is awesome news. I've been loving this rom for a few weeks now. up-clocked to 1.4 with your kernel. snappy and stable. It's great.

Got a question on something I could not figure out...

How do I enable speech to text from swype? The keyboard shows the microphone button, but it doesn't do anything for me. I used this feature frequently on sprint's rom. please don't make me go back, and tell me how to resolve this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Install voice search.

Also it the update will be a test run of my yet to be named all in one super rom. It will have skinnyrev2-3.5, a 1.3 version of my newest test kernel, and webtop+ updated to the new webtop from 254. Of course all of those things are betas so this will be an alpha rom. Hopefully all goes well and ill be completing my next kernel version and skinnyrev2 soon. If everything gets completed lots of updates will be coming with versions for everyone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BrianTDI:
I don't know if skinny does have the apk or I somehow deleted it, but I found the VSuiteApp.apk is responsible for the dialer voice commands. Put the stock apk back in /system/app and set the permissions and rebooted. Works fine now.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Good find
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
I used the skinny-rev1-electrify

I had to reformat and resbf the stock 2.3.5, however I did follow all directions so I don't know what went wrong, any guidence would be appreciated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Supergoodsmitto:
anyone who isnt with sprint got the skinnyrev1 rom working? cant get passed the sprint activation screen when the phone turns on.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 0mfgroflmao:
I tried flashing it a while ago, I'm in New Zealand, kept looping "connecting to network" or similar and couldn't get past.

Same thing also happened when I tried rev2 test3.
[Motorola Photon 4G] phyba:
I've had this issue for a couple of weeks...... I just turn on airplane mode, reboot, then turn off airplane mode
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
Okay, I have a Electrify maybe someone can point me in the correct direction, skinnyrev1 for the electrify doesnt flash.

Do I need to take that build.prop file and put it in the new skinnyrev1? I am locked and cannot UNLOCK due to being 2.3.5

Let me know, as I'm trying to help push the Skinny for the Electrify for 2.3.5 users to have, as we can't unlock the bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
What I did was put the build.prop from the Electrify skinny zip in the skinnyrev2 zip, or in your case, skinny4g. I used 7zip to open both zips to move the files.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Supergoodsmitto:
So that actually works?
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
So do i delete the sprint files?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
I deleted the SprintOMADAK.apk and changed the build.prop and it booted just fine for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
Locked or unlocked?
[Motorola Photon 4G] nate6138:
Unlocked, but in theory it should still work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
I CWM, used skinny4grev1, with the electrify build.prop from the electrify zip that Joker made but doesnt work.

Now I'm getting force closes of the status bar.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ChadH42:

features/changes

skinnyrev2-test3.5

1080p should work now

a few speed tweaks but not the planned tweak overhaul

webtop+ 1.2b

same kernel as skinnyrev2-test3(wifi issues still pending in my zram kernels):mad:

its like 440mb atm but ill post a beta whenever i can upload.

A little but for better battery i do have a battery test kernel with great results
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Just finished flashing Skinny Complete V1 with TWRP and everything went fine. Do I need to do the backlight undo fix on this because its very dark?
[Motorola Photon 4G] zeguym:
skinny complete v1, is it complete sbf ? do i still need to flash to 198_7, or i can directly flash skinny complete v1 ?

Mine 198_6 sbf.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Just flash with cwm or twrp, 198-6/7 is both fine. You only need to upgrade if on 154 or earlier.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
It doesnt need the backlight undo.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Yeah thanks, once the rom loaded it was back to my normal brightness. One thing about the photon is that no matter what every time I flash a new rom it always downloads all my apps and restores all my settings. On my Evo shift it would do that maybe 1 out of every 10 times lol.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
The camera is buggy but camcorder works fine. I use vignette for a camera anyways but i will say the camera in skinny complete is pretty fast. Buggy but fast.
[Motorola Photon 4G] badname:
lol electron
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Theres a issue with the calendar, there looks like a 4 from the dialer is stuck on it. "4 GHI". Also the camera only does 5MP now, not sure if thats how its supposed to be or not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Buggy camera! market cameras are 8mp. Calendar got no attention due to lack of time
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
What about a locked Electrify Rom

Is there a way you could make up a skinny or even just a deoxed and tuned up stock Rom for the Electrify with the locked bootloader. It would have to be flashed by bootstrap. I am willing to test and can report back fast and can get you a few more testers with the locked base.

This would be great if you can help I can make a backup of the full 2.3.5 stock from bootstrap and upload it if you need it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Yes i plan to make it soon. Just been super busy. Skinny complete has beta components
[Motorola Photon 4G] netengineer:
Joker, what kernel do you recommend? You have so many I am just not sure what to use. LOL I am looking for speed, battery life and I do use WiFi as well. (Stable as well) I have to say great work on your ROMs
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Well try the stable kernels first. Just pick your speed you want and hopefully its stable for you if not maybe a little slower. I like the 1.4's.
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Are you able to add UbunTop to the locked ones also? This would be huge as bootstrap does not allow us to install UbunTop directly.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jokersax11:
Umm i havnt locked in awhile im sure loki is working on it as he has both locked and unlocked phones
[Motorola Photon 4G] hjcg2001:
How is 1080p , also where is the battery kernel that you talk about jocker? Greetings!!
