Most likely that people on Sprint with working data are lucky with their device/recovery/install-order combo. A nandroid is a perfect copy of your system, data, and boot partitions so going over the same steps will most likely yield identical results. We need somebody that was lucky enough to get working Sprint data to give us all the nitty gritty details of how they got to where they are. Unfortunately, those that do have working Sprint data are either lurking, or not sharing how they got it or their logs or anything :(

EDIT: I think I misunderstood. Reading through the thread, it seems that regardless of whether people upgraded to CMX or clean installed, those same 5% of people (on Sprint) seem to get their data. It's seriously weird. It feels like a build.prop issue, but no amount of tweaking seems to do it for most people.
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
I saw with one post someone said they were on AOKP Milestone, I loaded that up and tried going to CMX. No data. I have tried factory writes with different ROMS, to no avail. Sigh! Nothing works for me.

That was why I figured someones backup might give light on what works as even the developers and those that know what they are doing don't have it. Or them trying to reproduce it from a nandroid. At least it will give us the steps they are coveting so much.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AndroiddiordnA:
Ok so here is my 2 cents if anyone is trying to crack this no data spell.

I realized we have no su and superuser, So i followed the thread and tried the superuser 3.1 zip back a few pages back.

Titanium backup did recognize I was rooted at that point but I have a strange suspicion that it is lying to me.

Reason being... I tried to back up my APN with APN backup restore.apk. To do so in ICS you have to make APN backup restore apk a SYSTEM APP in titanium backup by hold pressing on the app. Once you do so you're golden, and ICS happily accepts the changes.

Soooo...

I fresh wiped and installed CM9

Booted got data working, installed titanium backup PRO (Required to be PRO)

Installed APN backup restore

Made it a system app in titanium backup

Went to APN backup restore and backed up my working data APN settings on CM9

Booted to recovery

Installed CM10

also installed superuser and su 3.1 zip

Booted to CM10 (no data of course)

Installed titanium backup

Installed APN Backup Restore

went to titanium backup to make APN a system app and it just freezes Titanium backup and eventually force closes.

APN backup restore says failed when trying to do it without it being a system app.

I found out why this isn't working and it is because the system is not giving permissions to do ANYTHING.

You cant CHMOD you cant access anything as the system is in Read only mode, wont let you write anything.

Also,

I got a logcat from me turning off and on my mobile data.

D/ConnectivityService( 1711): setMobileDataEnabled(true)

W/BackupManagerService( 1711): dataChanged but no participant pkg='com.android.p

roviders.settings' uid=1001

D/RetryManager( 2111): resetRetryCount: 0

This ^^^^ seems to be why we aren't getting any data.

Not to mention the phone in *#*#4636#*#* is communicating as a gsm device...

Lots to be fixed here, Wish I could help but this is beyond my genius...

Joker swoop down and save us all from this plague of hatred for APN settings!!! lol:p

I seem to have full root access. Using rom toolbox pros built in root browser I can edit my build.prop and settings stick after reboot. Also lbe privacy guard lets me use active protection service with no issue .
[Motorola Photon 4G] AndroiddiordnA:
What method did you root with? same as the one I tested?
[Motorola Photon 4G] eurohunter:
I flashed superuser 3.1 and at first it was still not working. then i went to System Settings>Apps and I Cleared Data and Force Stopped the Superuser App and tried again. That seemed to do the trick since I now have root access. Did backup of apps with TB with no problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
Thats wat I'm talking abaut, now I have the Root, thanks eurohunter
[Motorola Photon 4G] AndroiddiordnA:
Take any one of your downloaded apps that aren't currently system apps and go into titanium backup and hold press it and convert it to a system app. Tell me if it works for you, if so i'm gonna hop back on it. :fingers-crossed:
[Motorola Photon 4G] eurohunter:
I cant really do that as it requires the PRO version. I have the free version. I did notice for that now AdAway for example actually removed all the ads, and TB managed to back up my data. I don't know if that's considered full root or not.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mambaram:
Hi,

After I went to System Settings>Apps and I Cleared Data and Force Stopped the Superuser App and tried again, I used the apps root Check and for the first time it say I got rooted, I use Root Explorer and there I can change any think I will in system directory , most of my apps are working but allot of apps are not working and giving unexpected error notification, I reinstall theme, still not working, I did the same steps again went to System Settings>Apps and I Cleared Data and Force Stopped for every apps I have, they start to work but after start, stops again and gives the same error again and again, so am I rooted or not? or there are another problem in the rom. Music thru the BT is not working so far, the functionality works but it does not transfer the audio to BT.
[Motorola Photon 4G] XxCE0xX:
Wait back somewhere I read the camera was working okay.

It is the shutterless jb camera right?

Its posted a few pages back.

Ah. Disregard. I see its been cleared up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Chavy09:
I flashed the new CDMA version but data is still off. also i updated to the V4 recovery but it won't back up. it says it cant mount system
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I just went to the link and the date for the newest one is showing 7/22. Maybe the new one hasn't finished uploading cause the date should be 7/25.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tommyb_:
i think the date is just messed up. cause i looked everyday and today is the first day ive seen anything new, but i downloaded it and still have data!
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
Newest had no data for me either. I didn't check root though.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
I'm still at work and I'm gonna try it when I get home. Are you guys clean wiping or flashing over CM9 without wiping?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
That is cuz the 0.02 build did not say that data is fixed. The root problems should be fixed in the 0.02 build since we have the SU files from the Nexus 7 build and Joker simply merged those changes into the build. Joker is making progress every day and hopefully we will have data working soon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Chavy09:
i just flashed on top of cm9
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
and????????
[Motorola Photon 4G] secret.animal:
I did mine during lunch, but had to go back for work. When I get home, I can check again.

I flashed over top with no wipe. Will do more testing tonight.

No data, add this had not been fixed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
Gsm users: does your photon gets hotter than normal while connecting internet via 3g?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
And do you have data?
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
He said in a post earlier today that he doesn't . Like someone previously said ..this update was not a data fix . So , if people didn't have data before they still probably won't .
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
Does anyone else have problems with usb storage? my pc can no longer access the external or internal storage.

I still get no root access even after i flashed the su fix.

Let me try the new build

[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
I can happily say I have data with the new GSM build, using the KDDI radio on T-Mobile. Wi-fi is working fine as well. There are still 2 camera apps, and now I notice 2 alarm clock apps though, no other errors stand out aside from clock foreclosing, I assume because of there being 2.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
I just flashed the gsm build on my buddies phone that's flashed to T-Mobile and his data is working great!. Also the duplicates of apps are because there is 2 of every file in the gapps zip.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Android 17:
Yeah, i just deleted one of the clock apps on the system/apps folder, however, despite there being 2 camera app on the app drawer i can't seem to find it in the system/apps folder.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lancerz:
Just long press on one of the camera apps and drag it to system info at the top, and whichever one shows up as "gallery" just disable it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MikeyLee:
I didnt know it was a problem with GSM. Most of us are CDMA and have the Data issue
[Motorola Photon 4G] Nibble13:
im haven't this problem.
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
hmm. mine gets really hot. i checked my battery temprature with antutu cpu master. in normal operation temprature is about 30°C. with active data connection temprature goes up to 45-50°C.

CDMA Workshop

Would the CDMA Workshop help us figure out how to get data running on here for Sprint CDMA users??

http://www.cdma-ware.com/workshop.html

I know so far from what I have been keeping up on, that everything seems to run really well with just a few hiccups. In which we all know without proper drivers from Motorola, we will have certain issues.
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
i have a new problem. app installs and upgrades from play store took forever. downloading is fast but installing part is really long. it's like it won't finish at all...
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
IT's called deskclock.apk & deskclockgoogle.apk - In this case deskclockgoogle.apk is the one included in JokerGapps.zip so I would delete the other.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cdrice15:
Just flashed this over cm9 and I have working data. It seems like there isn't a problem with data for the US Cellular Electrify.

I'm on tapatalk so I couldn't search so sorry if its been asked.....I am assuming theme chooser isn't I integrated yet?

Edit: Just saw cm post on Google+ about the theme engine. Guess it will be in jokers next update.

Hey could the custom radios help our lack of data?

Sent from my MB855
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
Not sure...could really mess up CDMA. I know that GSM works, so in THEORY, flashing GSM radio could get you service. If it doesn't, though, it's a PITA to get CDMA back....

Joker and I are working on a few possible fixes now. I am about to flash a couple of things that I hope will get me data on my AOKP JB build (not released yet...possibly tonight).

i unfortunately can't show any emotion, but you guys are f87cking awesome1. screw it, i'ma be late, but they can wait, i want my jb back. the only thing that seems to work right now1 :D i forgot i have the emoticons. haha :D :D :D :D :D :D :eek:

Can someone test wifi or usb tether on this to see if it's functional? MyAOKP build is having issues with both (though I am on wifi tether with Barnicle).
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
did this same thing and data is working!!

Going to test out wifi once everything loads up!

update: wifi does work

update#2: market loads, but i can not download anything; one of the cameras does work, but is incredibly slow. will test out usb tehter right now!

update#3: usb tether does not work. After going into the options and enabling it, here is the error that i get "unfortunately, settings has stopped"

update#4: the phone is running a bit on the warmer side already also.

update#5: i flashed gapps also, but it seems like i can't find any of the google programs (gmail and ets) should i reflash it?

if you need me to test anything else or post more info just tell me
[Motorola Photon 4G] ibedanny:
That worked.

Edit: I take that back. Homepage was cached LOL
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
i had the same issue, wipe playstore data and then wipe media storage data -both in manage apps- then reboot. i did and playstore works as it should now.

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 PM ----------

my phone was running hott as well, but i set my standard preferred settings and it cooled back down.

in performance

-uncheck surface dithering

-check 16bit transparency

in dev options

-check disable hw overlays

-check force gpu rendering

i literally watched the temperature go down after rebooting.

---------- Post added at 01:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

if you used recoveryv4 you can't do that. it won't flash the gapps. you have to use recoveryv3
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
I wiped the play store and media storage and rebooted, but google play still didn't work. I made the performance changes and again wiped the two things and waiting on reboot to check it out.

update: didn't realize about v4 not working. Would it be a good idea to switch back to v3? still no luck with google play after second restart. the phone is cooling off though!

update#2: would it be possible for you to post the recoveryv3? i can't seem to find it on joker's website.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
well the play store is in the gapps package so reflashing gapps with recovery 3 might help. strange you still have it though. and you should be using v3 till v4 is complete. it's got a few new options, but other issues as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
this is the recovery i am using:

link deleted-- sorry about that!

this is the only one i see on the website. So, i figured that is the only one everyone used lol Sorry a bit new at this lol

at the bottom of the recovery it says: swm-based recovery v5.5.0.4. so now i am even more confused lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] FanBoy_Hunter:
that's version 4. no problem, now that it's confirmed what version though edit your post to take the link down. joker would like people to not post direct links. as for the recovery it was located in cm9 but i can't seem to find it. i could attach it if jokers cool with it, but till then use this one [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.2.0 with on-screen keyboard! [2012-07-12] as far as i know this one works, but I've never had the need for it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jkap310:
got it! will try right now! thank you for your help! :)

I actually just reflashed all the files. In the same exact order and it started working... go figure lol

Last thing for now. This is running absolutely great so far! The new google voice is pretty awesome. No clue how google now works exactly but so far everything is running pretty smooth. I sometimes get the clock has stopped working error but besides that great job already!!

It would sit on android triangle.

Then installed cwm again.

Flashed this hspa build and flashed cm10 after cache and system wipe.

Almost forgot, in regards to wifi tether it's not working for me. Just get's stuck at turning on. I've had this issue in the past though and it was weird. I had to use a third party app first and then it would work. However, that didn't fix it this time. Can't try USB tether atm.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
Bluetooth audio was fine for me on Joker's CM9 but not others. Now it doesn't work. :P

Hey...have some faith...and give joker some credit. Photon has one of the smallest dev communities (currently 2 ICS devs), and by tomorrow sometime, he and I will have released 3 quite functional jb ROMs (cm10, aokp-which I am writing this from, and paranoid android) when most phones don't have ONE BOOTING version. I know...some have 3 already...but those are devices that have been slated for jb from the start.

My buddy Joker here kicks serious ass. As does eprinter and turl with all the help they've given with this.

Also consider that this has been out for what? 2 weeks? I'd say we're well ahead of the curve! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] knG333:
I had to do a full wipe and then install cm9, cm10, gapps, and then the fix. Now data is working and everything else seems to be working for me. Browser rotation even works in Dolphin. I can finally use it as my default browser again. Thanks again and again joker and everyone who helped!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kevets:
No, no complaints from me. I'm just reporting issues I find.

I'm impressed that it works as well as it does already. Yourself, Joker and a couple of others have provided the Photon community with plenty of viable options. I would say this particular version is usable for most people but a couple of features that I somewhat rely on are still flaky but I'm not begging for a fix or complaining one bit. It's my choice to try to run this ROM. I'm just happy to have a choice.

I'm making a feeble attempt to help with the development whenever and wherever possible but I can only hope to be as successful as you guys.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Th3Bill:
