Curious if anyone has a copy of the Japanese photon SBF file? May be able to pull the radio from that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] elessarelfstar:
I think if you read back through this thread, or the other one that had some traction for a while (can't remember name), we've tried the Japanese SBF route before. As far as I know no one has been able to get their hands on one. Same goes for a radio before Sprint introduced the restriction.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
I saw some dead filesonic links to it on some Japanese forums.
[Motorola Photon 4G] elessarelfstar:
What about these:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/photon4g.motorola/files/PHOTON-KDDI (ISW11M)/

Looks like they are at least pieces of a builds from the KDDI Photon (Japanese). Thought it also looks like they could be from the Bionic (which would mean the title makes no sense.

Here is another place where the Japanese source is, but I don't know if radio is available. http://sourceforge.net/motorola/photon4g/news/

Of course, that source didn't go unnoticed in this forum either: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1359276&page=2

So it may still just be a dead end.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Alright so someone(I will not name unless they ask) has given me a copy of the japanese radio. I will be attaching it to this post. If someone wants to figure out how to flash it go ahead, otherwise I will look into it tomorrow. MD5 is E57A9D8454C4BDC43B896CC3E3229689
[Motorola Photon 4G] halfevildruid:
Here is more info... I went to att today and shut down sprint. pulling 3-5 megs :)

I am willing to try the radio but after reading this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1642577 not sure...

we cant flash .img with radiocomm or rsd, i will look into repacking the img to sbf unless someone else knows how alraedy and wants to post it

I also did find the line items between ours and the bionic are the same in many things, the MSL/SPC can be pulled out in hex pretty easy following the bionic instructions and the gsm unlock for bionic is the same line and values for the photon as well. The answer may very well be in the other radios. There are some lines in the bionic and other world droids that are not in the photon (NV 8258 for example)
[Motorola Photon 4G] JDMpire:
Awesome, I will also try to flash that file. Any advice on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. I've flashed phones before but not recently and not android phone and not using that RadioComm program (if thats what you use).

Anyway, I just need to get the battery, give me a day, Ill report back.
[Motorola Photon 4G] olegfusion:
Interesting. Ill try to flash it too, will say a result of using it on GSM abroad network
[Motorola Photon 4G] onslaught86:
You should be able to fastboot flash the radio image, though I didn't have any luck trying to fastboot a Photon radio/baseband to my Electrify - flash was successful, yet OS reported no change in radio version & my shoddy reception (In areas I know to have good coverage) unfortunately did not improve.

I'd be a little wary of the KDDI Photon radio because that device apparently has SMS disabled.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
By the way I think this is how it is updated from recovery. If anyone want the full update.zip I pulled the radio from message me on IRC.

ui_print("updating BP ...");
assert(package_extract_file("bp.img", "/tmp/bp.img"));
assert(motorola.motoflash("/tmp/bp.img"));
delete("/tmp/bp.img");
[Motorola Photon 4G] JDMpire:
I haven't sent a sms message in the last 5 years or so, Im ok... :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Non¢s:
Hello all

I made a zip of the Japanese bp.img that you can flash for CWM. I was able to use a US T-MOBILE SIM on the sprint photon, however you will LOSE Sprint service. The photon had the bootloader unlocked and rooted before I flashed the radio.

If you want Sprint service back you need to use RDSlite and a Sprint SBF, I used 198_6.

[Motorola Photon 4G] e240:
So say I'm using gummy rom and I installed the cdma version.. should flash the GSM version and then Flash the radio or should I flash the radio over the cdma version and that's it? Will it even work on that rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] JDMpire:
Looks like I have some work to do.... good job nonCs

and do both the bootloader needing to be unlocked and the device rooted, or can you just have the unit rooted? just curious. I hope I can get this bootloader unlocked on this thing.

[Motorola Photon 4G] TheGman125:
Is it possible to get the radio to switch in the rom instead of flashing the zip?

Sent From NS4G, E4GT, and Mopho all running CM9
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Not sure what you mean, but the radio must be replaced for the unlock, which means it must be flashed one way or another.
[Motorola Photon 4G] elessarelfstar:
What would happen if the entire update.zip were flashed to the phone via the stock recovery? Would it brick the phone? Or just not install?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
Pretty sure there are checks in place that prevent stock from working, such as signature verifications and os version checking. Basically it just won't do anything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] elessarelfstar:
They sure go through a lot of trouble to keep a tiny amount of people from tinkering with their phones...
[Motorola Photon 4G] duplissi:
you guys are amazing, i just thought id let you know that! :) when i was forced to switch from sprint to att, i grabbed the atrix 2 assuming that it would have a similar bootloader unlock to the photon since they were both moto phones, but i should have done research... anyway i was really really saddened that i couldnt install ics on my atrix 2 (great phone aside from locked bl) and have been watching this thread for months now!

now i can start using my trusty mopho on att and get me some ics love (i hope anyway)

[Motorola Photon 4G] DX///M:
First time knowing radiocomm was through getting MSL code on photon! So yea, i know how powerful yet user-unfriendly it is

so you got your photon having both gsm and cdma in US and play together (or maybe one at a time) nicely?

I'm thinking about flashing one to pageplus (3G of course) as my main carrier, then unlock the gsm for occasional use

and i haven't confirmed it can get a 3G speed yet, from reading...

btw, haven't got my photon yet, just doing research.

and thanks for linking the bionic thread, sub-ed
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking but the photon can get 3g on both CDMA and GSM(with the alt radio) just not on t-mobile AWS bands(not to big a deal anymore since they have been rolling out 1900mhz coverage for a while now). Don't think anyone ever got both working at the same time though, have to flash radios every time you switch. I would recommend against buying this phone though, its software is horribly outdated.
[Motorola Photon 4G] DX///M:
I see, so have to flash radio every time for either network. the primary use would be on CDMA though, and good to know flashing pageplus getting a 3G speed is feasible on this one.

and thx for your suggestion about its software... i'm on a Sprint GNex and got bored with it... kinda missing Moto phones (originally on a DX then played with an OG Droid)

still debating on this one, but yea, would be photon rather than electrify for sure, though the MB853 is about $35 for fair condition, while MB855 at $55-60 in same condition.

If your APN has a proxy in it, ads will get through. Delete the proxy, keep all the other APN settings the same, and you should be okay.I'll see if Straight Talk tries to do anything untoward with my data over the next month, but so far so good.

According to the prepaid thread, deleting the proxy also gives you better speeds.

Hi!

As the title saying, i am searching for a programmer who can code a small app for me.

The function of the app should be like this:

When the phone has no active calls and gets one, accept the new call.

When the phone has allready one call and it gets another call, make a conference-call.

When the phone allready has a conference running and it gets a new one, add the caller to the existing conference.

Maybe a switch for turning the function on and off.

I am offering money [~100€, depends on how good it works and so on].

If you have any question, let me know it.

Sorry for my bad english, since english is not my first language.

Would this be possible?

[Hardware Hacking General] stane1983:
Hi.

I have Coolech 1FA-09D based board with Hisilicon Hi3716C chip on it. It's android based media player. Full system flash was performed on the device, but firmware flashed was wrong, so device is now useless.

It stops at boot screen (not android, but bootloader). On device I have 2 available usb ports, but I asume those are host ports, not to be connected to PC. On PCB I have 4 pin connector, but don't know what kind of connector that is. At the moment I have no documentation for the box.

Company that I got box from will provide me original firmware, but how I'm going to flash it? Any ideas? Fastboot as far as I know works only with usb connected devices. ADB can't connect to device trough lan cause no adb server is running on the other side (box get's its own IP address and does some other initialisation which includes usb ports and then freezes).
[Hardware Hacking General] Megabug:
The 4 pin connector is a serial console, but be carefull, its 3,3V logic and not RS232! So you need a level converter or usb ttl converter cable like for a old cellphone or something. Then within uboot you could load the firmware from tftp or upload it with xmodem.

Could you please send me the firmware? I would be very interested in it ;). (Or just upload it somewhere like filesonic)

Thanks.
[Hardware Hacking General] stane1983:
Thanx for your answer.

About the firmware, sorry, I can not send it to you and there are two reasons for that:

I don't have the firmware yet. When I get it, I'm not allowed to distribute it. You can find kernel source code of similar device (A.C.Ryan android based box) on their web page. Their device is also based on Hi3716c.

He does not have to be from jungle or cave thought. Believe it or not, for example in Europe there are countries with celular networks developped much more further than in US and carriers do not sell bound phones.
