[Motorola Photon 4G] tmurphy12:
Hi,

I have a Photon 4G with sprint that I deblurred using the process found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1837757. My phone has been acting up lately (random no 4g, sluggish, restart when press volume up, etc) and I wanted to take it back to factory to hopefully resolve some of those issues. I went to the Privacy settings and tried a factory data reset and got the failed to boot 2 error message. I also tried to follow the steps in qbkings unroot video to no avail. I consitently got a sec_exception b655 eddc eb error. I got this error with all of the 2.3.4 sbf''s at http://forums.acsyndicate.net/showthread.php?3362-Photon-FIles.

The phone will boot up and work normally even after it sec and fail to boot errors.

According to the About Phone screen here is what I am working with:

System version: 45.3.7.MB855.Sprint.en.us

Model number: MB855

Android version: 2.3.4

Baseband version: N_01.29.10R

Webtop Version: WT-1.2.0-180

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 dnt648@fl36bld22 #2

Build number: Univ DeBlur Debloat

ERI Version: 6

PRL Version: 51094

Basically my questions are: How can I get this back to factory? Can I install custom ROM's? And if so, will I lose 4G?

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MarcquisDale:
First of all that rom is not compatible with your phone because youre on 2.3.4 and the rom is for 2.3.5(people stuck with locked bootloader). Second yes you can install custom roms just unlock your bootloader. Third i think this is what you would need to get back to stock http://goo.gl/J5Vh0

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:19 PM ----------

And yes installing custom roms takes away ability to lose 4g
[Motorola Photon 4G] tmurphy12:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that same sbf from a different link before but I will try this one and hope for the best. Is there anything I need to be doing before I use RSDlite?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MarcquisDale:
Nope
[Motorola Photon 4G] tmurphy12:
So I tried that sbf and got the same error message.

SVF :106 : 1 : 2

sec_exception: b655, eddc, eb

Would it help if I unlock my bootloader and then try to use RSDlite? Also, do you lose 4g when you unlock the bootloader or when a custom rom is installed?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MarcquisDale:
Yeah try that and see what it does
[Motorola Photon 4G] tmurphy12:
So I updated to the latest version RSDlite and motorola drivers I could find, 6.1 and 5.9 respectively. I tried to flash the derpunlock and still no dice. Same error.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MarcquisDale:
You sure youre on 2.3.4?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tmurphy12:
That's what my phone says but it doesn't seem to act like it. Is there a way to flash it to 2.3.5 by finding that sbf?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MarcquisDale:
No sbf for 2.3.5
[Motorola Photon 4G] jrebo:
I think the universal debloat script change your android version info 2.3.4 although you could be 2.3.5.

Look at directions 1 thru 6 in this post.

[Motorola Photon 4G] tmurphy12:
Thanks. Do you know if that will kill the 4g or should it work after that process?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MarcquisDale:
Should work after
[Motorola Photon 4G] chriswhat21:
I know this is 4 months old now, but I've been struggling with the same "About Phone" all day and I couldn't find a real solution. Turns out it is the DeBlur that make it look like 2.3.4 when it is 2.3.5. To confirm I switched back to the original "build.prop" and it said 2.3.5. So all of that trying to RSD and Fastboot I was trying was never going to work.

Hi,

I have the Acer Liquid E1.

Specs below:

- MTK 6577 1Ghz Dual Core

4 GB rom

1GB ram

5mp rear cam

vga front cam

I want to edit the camera quality, thus modding the media profiles.xml.

But there is no such file present in system/etc. I have downloaded 2 or 3 more MTK device roms, and they have none too. Is there someone who knows where i could find it? Or why it isn't there?

Regards,

Brick3d

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk19157:
same problem

i hav micromax knight a350 . Which have 16mp camera

there is not any media_pfofile.xml
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyy998:
I hold no responsibility If you brick your phone .

So I have noticed that some mediatek phones dont have this file . I also have a chinese one which doesnt have this file .

The solution is that find a phone that has similar camera specs(or maybe lower) , and then copy the media_profiles.xml file from that device and paste it into your device's system/etc directory .

So basically you are just adding that file which is not present in your phone.

You can now modify the media_profiles.xml file ,set bitrate as you want .

Then set proper permissions .And youre done ! Reboot your phone now.

It might not work for your phone but it did worked for my phone . If your phone is stuck at bootloop just delete that file using file manager in recovery mode .

However your default camera app might not work .In my case it just said "unfortunately com.android.camera has stopped". So You might need to download app like "opencamera" for using the camera .

Previously I was able to shoot 1080p 17mbits video max.

Now I can shoot upto 40mbit at 1080p :)

Using Rooted Samsung Proclaim:

(I have used both of the root kernels and the stock kernel)

I've read multitudes of online problems involving bootloops. I've even fixed one of my own a few months ago using adb. (In that case I renamed the framework-res.apk file because I was messing around with changing the emoticons, this turned out to be a terrible Idea, but easily fixed after about 12 hours of frantic trial and error.) I learned that ADB is quite awesome.

Anyway, I recently used System Tuner Pro to boil the stock Video Player after installing and uninstalling a few video players from the play store. I like to freeze most stock apps to see whether I really want to use them or not. I didn't pay attention to the toast which warned me that I might need to reboot for the change to take affect. So after I couldn't find the Video Player in my apps, I boiled it again. This time noticing the toast warning. So I rebooted. Now I'm stuck at the bootanimation loop.

I can still connect with adb from the bootloader and during the bootanimation loop. I have pulled most of the system files just to see if everything is still in there. I have also removed the VideoPlayer.apk file thinking the double boil had something to do with it. Still loops.

I've tried reinstalling the framework-res file that was still on my computer from the last time I had trouble. It installed just fine but still looping after reboot.

There must be some unresolved conflict during the bootanimation but I have no Idea which files to replace or reinstall. I have even wiped everything using the factory reset in the bootloader. I have attempted to wipe with adb but this always seems to give failures and permission troubles.

Any Ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevin6541:
Well now I've really gone and messed things up. Pretty sure it's out of my realm of possibilities now.

After pushing my wife's (same phone) bin folder into mine i have lost all permissions due to system/bin/sh.

Now I can't do anything with adb except connect to the phone. So technically its all still there.

I just need to write over the bin with my original bin and then I might hopefully be back at the previous problem.

Also, it's looping at the Samsung logo now so I've definitely gone backwards.

This is what I get for messing with things that I don't fully understand.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewhansen86:
Odd thought popped in my head while sitting at my desk today at work....Can you double charge the Nexus4? For example, I have the wireless charger. I also have a wired charger at my desk that I used before I bought the wireless orb. Could I plug the nexus4 into the wired charger and then set it on top of the wireless orb? Would it cause any damage? Would it charge my battery any faster? Would it even do anything? Part of me says that the inductive charging wouldn't even turn on because the phone would/should know that it is pulled into a micro usb cable. Another part of me says well, the internal inductive pad is probably always active and isn't something that can be turned off? I toss this question to the people here that are smarter than me in the hardware side.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inculto:
maybe, if it does perhaps battery will get hot and start to turn off one of them or maybe decrease power charge in usb or wireless charger...

but its a matter of try... i think u dont have nothing to loose cause our phones with high temperatures decrease speed and charge power..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekmenet:
The Nexus 4 has two main power circuits: 1) Battery Connector & Charging Circuit & 2) Wireless Charging GEN2 Circuit. These two work together with internal battery protection circuit as well. There are many controls going on while charging, such as current sensors, thermal sensors, voltage reference and voltage input detection. So basically it has been thought to avoid any problem if you happen to connect both charging supplies at the same time, as only one will act as the charger, and as far as I can understand the logic of it, it’s the USB charging that has priority over wireless charging.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewhansen86:
Thanks! I think you are probably right, as I had this same thought just without the hardware knowledge of the device to come to a conclusion on it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesc760:
While you are at it (double charging your n4), make sure you connect the wire coming from your kite flying in the thunder and lightning outside. Triple charging beats double charging every time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilsonlam97:
+1 and also find a way to plug the USB cable directly into the wall plug, don't use any adaptor. The extra voltage will speed things up. As far as you should be concerned the internal protection circuits will make it very safe. :good:

As you all may know, new all AOSP ROMs are switching to a new 3.4 kernel. But some S3's, including mine, are not playing nicely with this kernel. Why is this? Is still still being developed? Will there be a fix? Just looking for some info
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SeanHacker:
1.) Its a brand new kernel in its infant stages.

2.) Of coarse its still being developed. Its only been about a week or so since it was implemented.

3.) A fix? Not really sure what you are asking for here. The kernel is brand new and users need to be patient and wait for developers to work on it. Until then you should stick to ROMs with the older 3.0.x kernels if they work better for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Prufta:
I have been playing around with some roms with 3.4 kernel and my only concern its that mms don't work (my carrier is Claro ) on them. Everything from clocking and performance are ok.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attbrandon:
I work at at&t and was speaking with one of the higher business managers in the company for my region who talked about the S4 having a new exynos 8 core processor to blow away the competition. I asked him if he was sure of that processor and he claimed he was just telling me what he was told, but he'd get back to me on confirming that for sure.

Also, the article on engadget about the "exynos arm11" processor being spotted on that same model number interested me but I figured it was just just rumor milling to be honest until I talked to him today.

I realize the ARM11 processor doesn't match entirely, but it seems very coincidental model number wise.

Anyways, just to show I'm not trying to blowing out hot water, I also included a picture of my badge with a hello.

Until we have official confirmation by Samsung on LTE availability nothing is set in stone even if someone on XDA who has never touched the phone thinks that it is. Just for that simple fact, this thread should remain separate and is entirely necessary at this point considering that there have been a few small rumors being tossed around about AT&T getting the Octa variant.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j510:
Also that it looks like exynos has some of the same bands that att uses. Again just because it supports the band does not mean its automatically coming to att. Thats where this thread comes in place as it is said from an at&t associate here in the states.

If it really bothers you, please just dont view this thread. Thank you.
