If you're unlocked, this thread is not for you!

Find 2.3.4 sv1 custom sbf thread.

From there, you can flash the radio.

Not from here.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
Found it and got it working thanks!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mutara:
i flash us cellular rom to my sprint photon :(

"Full:

There is only one - 2.3.5_USC_19 sbf - but it is for Electrify. After flashing this, you need to flash locked custom rom, "2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image" and some sv2 sbf radio, for working Sprint services, including 4G.

Do not try to flash any of those Sprint 2.3.5 full sbf files, they are not signed and your device will not accept them."

There write this but i flash it to my for sprint motorola photon.So now i can't turn back stock sprint rom.I can't unlock,what can i do?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
It's written there in the first post.

Except webtop, you will have almost stock 2.3.5 254_13 rom.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mutara:

[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:

CM Issue

my photon4G is in 2.3.5 .. I've tried to upgrade 4.0 or 4.1 unofficially but after installing my IMEI number , serial number and network related things are all showing "unknown"... I have unlocked my bootlader also then Y it's not supporting in my device I don't know?

Don't know what to do with this Issue........... So i reverted 2.3.5 in my photon.. Can someone help me out of this problem ?

How you unlocked your bootloader... if it's 2.3.5?

sent from Motorola Photon 4G via Reliance
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Because you have 2.3.5 radio, if you install 254_12 libmoto_ril.so after the cm9 or cm10 rom, you should be fine.

He's most probably unlocked, because recovery and bootloader were not updated by ota update or Photon with 2.3.5 was shipped with sv1 bootloader too, like Electrify was. If the bootloader is sv1, do not use anything from this thread.
[Motorola Photon 4G] monkey1230:
ok so heres what i did i flashed the USC_19 sbf, the rooted , then installed droidx2 recovery, then restored my backup, so my question is how to get wifi and 4g to work, sry for the dumb question this is my first moto phone came from samsung

im on the ota 2.3.5

thx
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
If your backup was 254_13, you must flash 254_13 boot.img.

[Motorola Photon 4G] chenchen:
hey I'm just wondering. I am having a problem with my GSM radio where I am only able to access the EDGE network, cannot get the 3G network. this is weird, as I used to be able to access it. do you think flashing "254_12 radio sbf ----- 254_12 libmoto_ril.so" could help with that? I am rooted, but on a locked bootloader.

Thanks for the help
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
I don't think that it can help, but who knows, you can try both radios and you'll see the difference.

3G won't come up, even if you turn on the "Always use UMTS" option in settings?
[Motorola Photon 4G] chenchen:
exactly, if I check that, i cannot even make or receive calls. I have to revert to GSM only in order to make/receive calls and connect "barely" to data
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
You can try to flash the radio, reflashing through RSD Lite will reset it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nomercy9691:
i was in 2.3.5, last version, and i did root my device, the thing is that, i remove some file system of including springt app, and another file system... but when i hard reset.... i still work, but casn not dislay home screen ... i report " stopped unexpectedly motorola service... how can i deal with that... if i must recover it... my device has not been unlock-bootloader yet ...
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
If it was shipped with 2.3.5, you can try to unlock it. Install recovery, and restore your backup or install the stock 2.3.5 in zip from mof. If it cannot be unlocked, you have to follow the unbrick process.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Robert5686:
So after i did this step by step i have no imei number did i mess up somewere ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Your libmoto_ril.so is probably not corresponding with your radio.

Try to reflash both.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Robert5686:
I did and still got nothing
[Motorola Photon 4G] jadi929:
Can you help me with this? What did you mean by when you said "I installed peetr's 2.3.5"? Are you talking about the a ROM? Or one of the sbf's?

I am really trying to get GSM working on this phone after accidently updated to 2.3.5 USC.

So far I have flashed SV2 (for unbricking) after flashing the USC sbf.

Then I rooted and installed bootstrap recovery.

Now I am confused as to what you meant by "peetr's 2.3.5?

Could anyone please help out? I went through this whole thread but was not able to find an answer as to how to get GSM working.

Thank you!
[Motorola Photon 4G] addictedhacks:
I am having the same exact problem. I have used this method before and worked flawlessly to restore. However this time I have no service and no imei. I have flashed the Lib file over and over it just doesn't take the flash. Is there any other way to flash it?

Edit: We need to SBF the lib file. Duh thats what we get for not reading the whole post. So instead of flashing the zip, take this http://d-h.st/VAG and SBF. You will then get your IMEI and PRL ETC.

trying to unlock my gf's bootloader. i don't think she accepted the ota, but have flashed 2 different roms through bootstrap(rocko and mof ish both are 2.3.5). not sure if unlocking bootloader is even possible for her phone anymore since she is on a 2.3.5 stock based MOF ish rom. any advise or help would be greatly appreciated.

Unbrick/Restore your 2.3.5 Photon 4G for Dummies

The method in post #1 did work, but I'm going to add a little more detail (a "For Dummies" version). This should save some people some Google searching

Note: CHARGE YOUR BATTERY FIRST. I was able to charge mine by leaving it off and plugged into the charger.

HINT: Download all files first. Load files for steps 2, 3, 4, and 6 to a microSD card and place the microSD card into the phone.

0) Install RSD Lite (Google search for the latest version... easy find) and the latest USB drivers depending on whether you are x86 or 64 bit (see post #1).

1) Flash the SBF file from the 2.3.5 version of the Electrify SBF - Mediafire Download

1.1) Reboot your phone all the way into the Electrify version of Android. Root your phone either the manual way or download the photon torpedo root method

2) Download bootstrap from DroidX2 forum. I found it here.

. Follow the instructions on how to set it up on that post.

3) Reboot your device and hold the Volume Down key and enter "Recovery" mode. Select the option to update from SD card. Flash this ROM from bootstrap. Please follow the instructions for this ROM carefully, you don't wanna flash the SBF again.

(no rebooting required between step 3 and 4)

4) Flash 254_13 modules with bootstrap. you need them.

5) Flash 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf with

RSD Lite.

6) Flash 254_12 libmoto_ril.so with bootstrap. You don't need to flash the radio SBF.

4) and 6) is not needed, if you install rom 3)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] turbosrrgood:
If you use a 3rd party messaging app like goSMS, then yes. I'm not sure about facebook, but there are other apps like liteflow that can help with LED notifications.

Just as an FYI though, nothing seems to be able to control the GS3 LED properly yet. Colors seemed to be reversed, no blinking, ect... I have changed mine though, using goSMS I have a red notification for new txt messages, using k9 I have a green notification for mail, ect... You may just have to mess with the colors to get the one you really want.

Thank you for all your replies.

I may add, only a few days ago Samsung released an update for the phone (this was done using Samsung Kies). Since then, I am not able to root access my phone (i.e. when I try to use Triangle Away or SuperSU it says "there is no su binary installed")

Does this mean I need to re-root the phone and then un-root it afterwards? Because I can't use Triangle Away to reset flash/binary counter.

make a efs backup before first use efs pro or k tool

go to recovery wipe data / cacche

then install from sd select the file and ur done

if u want to specifiaclly format it then u have option for that in mounts and storage but after that make sure u flash a rom in recovery

If you encrypt your phone using ICS encryption on CM9 for example then you can't just put in a password to turn off the encryption feature like you can on a Samsung rom. Today my phone was completely unusable because I couldn't boot into recovery or Android, reverting to stock with Odin would make my phone hang at the Samsung logo when booting Android. We're going to flash a new recovery using Odin and format your /data partition so that you can mount your internal and external SD cards once again so your phone is usable.

Software required:

Odin

ADB

Files:

Odin

http://samsung-updates.com/Odin307.zip

Flashable CWM Recovery

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ukx3l58wpcb3h4b/connor.tar.md5

Open Odin and make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked, click PDA and open connor.tar.md5 then flash the phone.

Once the recovery is done flashing and your phone is rebooting remove the battery from your phone. Replace the battery and hold volume up, home (center button) and power. Once the Samsung logo appears release the power button and your phone will boot into recovery. From here we are going to format our data partition.

Start an adb shell.

Linux:

/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb start-server

adb shell

Windows:

Open a CMD window in your ADB folder (shift click and click open new command window).

adb shell

From here we are going to format our data partition.

cat /etc/recovery.fstab

If /data is mmcblk0p15 then everything is going as planned.

mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p15

What that command will do is format your /data partition.

mount /data

mount

You should see /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 mounted on /data

Flash a new rom and your broken phone is now usable.

Thanks for the info. However it seems to me that the encryption causes more problems than it helps. I've seen too many posts about how implementing encryption ends up screwing someone. But I've never seen a post that said...wow I am sure glad that I encrypted my phone! Let's face it...unless u are working for the government or the like...there's no need for it. And if u are working for the government, they will have some I.T. guy handling it for you. Its best to leave it alone and password protect your phone / files / data and then u wouldn't have to deal with the above steps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Connor1:
My friend runs his Galaxy Nexus rooted with no custom rom and has his phone encrypted because he's strange like that (when googling about illegal stuff he always uses an incognito browsing session), he's just paranoid I suppose. I encrypted mine just because I could without thinking that something like this could occur. There was absolutely no information on the internet about how to undo the encryption and this is the only possible way I know.
