[Motorola Photon 4G] Elodieme:
Hi!

I've been having a little trouble with my Motorola Photon 4G this past week. So far it wasn't that bad, but it got worse during the past couple days. I've had it for about 2 years, and have to wait until February to change it. (Note: it is not, nor has it ever been rooted)

It started by just freezing and restarting at random moments. Then I had to remove the battery to restart it when it froze, because the power button wouldn't respond. It started going on reboot loops, where it would freeze, I'd take out the battery, it'd restart, and go through the restart process over and over again until the battery died. I could still turn it on. After a couple days, the battery would drain extremely quickly, to the point where to actually be able to turn it on I'd have to remove the battery, plug the phone in until the "looking for battery" icon popped up, reinstall the battery, wait for it to charge, and then turn it on.

Now, no matter what I do, it will not turn on. If I plug it in a wall outlet, it

-With the battery installed --> LED turns green, nothing pops up, power button is not responsive

-Without the battery --> Nothing happens

If I plug it in the computer, the LED turns white, but the Dual Core screen doesn't pop up. When it rarely does, it freezes there.

I have tried the whole "hold power button and volume down" (Stuck in RSD mode or something like freezes on the screen), or "hold the power button and volume up" (Fastboot freezes on the screen), and the holding the two volume keys when the Dual Core screen pops up doesn't work either.

I can't get a new contract, since I am moving away in a couple months in another country, and an US phone would be useless.

Does anybody have a solution?
[Motorola Photon 4G] tdhite:
Try this:

1) Power down (if not already powered off);

2) Pull the battery out;

3) Plug power in *without* putting the battery in;

4) Boot the phone.

If it does not start, we'll have to go from there. If it does start, you need a new battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Elodieme:
The power button is unresponsive; the LED light turns green, but the Dual Core screen doesn't appear
[Motorola Photon 4G] tdhite:
The light is green because it's powered and the battery doesn't need charging (not in the device). At least we have that.

Ok, this will sound stupid, but let's give it a shot:

1) unplug power;

2) remove battery (if not still removed);

3) Let it sit for a while (10 minutes would be overkill, but what the heck);

4) plug power in (not battery -- leave that out);

5) Press and hold the power and volume-down buttons for a good long time -- get a motorola screen?

If we don't get the motorola screen, could be a couple things -- screen dead? Or hardware prob (maybe the power button is dirty -- push good and hard just to be sure).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Elodieme:
The Dual Core screen comes up, with "Fastboot" in the top left corner, but it freezes on that screen
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jonathanlc2005:
i had the same issue 2 weeks ago. you need to buy a new battery as the one your using is completely drained. after that... unbrick and you should be ok.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Elodieme:
Silly question, but I am a noob when it comes to phones. How do I do this? I never rooted my phone

If I have any questions, can I ask you?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jonathanlc2005:
im not trying to say no to be mean... i just dont have that much experience to answer all your questions you may have. your best bet is to PM the OP of that thread
[Motorola Photon 4G] Elodieme:
Okay because I'm just going to have to have everything literally spelled out for me. I wasn't exaggerating when I said I was a noob haha
[Motorola Photon 4G] tdhite:
As I thought, battery shot. Confuses many. So, an unbrick might not be necessary. The battery just won't even pull up the bootloader.

If you get the new battery, and you never rooted, thus didn't load the clockwork recovery hack, it should charge, and then boot might be ok. We will see, but until you see no boot at all, unbrick is the last resort since it's a slog and you're not overly experienced.

I can help, but the OP on the unbrick thread is a great help in most cases.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Elodieme:
Thanks. I ordered a new battery when it started happening, so it should be in soon
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jonathanlc2005:
it didnt charge... i tried all ways and it didnt work. it only unbricked after i bought a new battery.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tdhite:
No worries -- your duty (of course) is hit the Thanks button when folks help and we get somewhere. I also fixed a couple typos in my reply (typed on a phone, and naturally ends up imperfect. :eek: Just didn't want you confused. One way or another, you can get the phone back up and running.

Not quite sure what you're saying, but the new battery the OP in this thread purchased should charge fine unless something is really wrong (never rooted so never loaded any charge-precluding mods).

If you are saying that on your phone, with a new battery, you still had to unbrick it because it wouldn't charge ... hmmmm ... seems very strange. Even the clockwork recovery mod would come up and then allow rebooting normally.

We'll see when the new battery comes. Hopefully no unbrick work required, just a charge.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jonathanlc2005:
what i am saying is that when the phone is bricked.. i mean bricked... nothing works what so ever except rsd... then thats it... it will not charge the battery. if you have a dead battery then dont expect it to charge while rsd. i needs power on the battery to allow RSD because the computer doesnt flash when the battery is dead and doesnt flash without the battery.

thus... he needs a changed battery. you could buy a seperate charger if you like... but it is much more expensive then buying a battery
[Motorola Photon 4G] tdhite:
Ok, I see what you're saying.

Yes, if truly bricked, it's an unbrick operation. Smells bricked, but I find it plausible the OP gets a battery with enough charge to try a boot. It is concerning we couldn't get booted on power without battery, though. That should have worked. Do it all the time working on kernel modules.

Just saying don't unbrick until trying out the new battery, the former of which the OP could do on power alone.

To qualify so no confusion -- I reboot into recovery mod without battery merely by plugin in -- so I can flash over modules. I've never been able to boot in to the OS normally without the battery in, but we still should see the moto logo.
[Motorola Atrix HD] aviwdoowks:
I polished this for the xt907. It should work as is on the unlocked mb866. I have used Photon Q recovery & Rom Manager since I learned it was the first usable recovery for the Atrix HD.

Be sure to back up as it is untested on a mb866.

Adds initd support & SD swap. All storage defaults to storage0 (your real SD card) which is the way it should have been from Motorola, well closer anyway.

This internal SD ("data/media") memory now has no purpose. You can move what you want to your real SD & delete everything else to let the phone use it all.

UpDate I did not Know that TWRP 263 fails where Philz v6 succeeds.

Just go here to get Philz v6 & swap v3 :

I have revised my SD swap method. Now you can flash this to any stock rom as you like. Wipe dalvik & cache only. Good for SafeStrap roms too. Not for cm based, multuser, or anything but 4.1.2 stock roms!

Always use Plilz v6 as it works as well as TWRP 263.

Always choose any NO when rebooting from CWMR.

Known issues:

Two things will Kill the SD swap: (by messing with install-recovery.sh)

1)Using TWRP older then v2.6 Or cwmr other than Philz v6.

2)If you boot from CWMR and choose yes to "disable recovery flash".

Also) If you mess with multiuser roms feel free to delete 0 , obb & legacy folders in internal sd (storage1).

One more) It is expected for your settings-storage info to be out of whack.

Finally) Create folder in root of the phone with Root Explorer results in an error but is the same as the Rabbit's version & of no consequence. The folder does get created anyway. All else works in the root of the phone.

Does that help?
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
Very good option for the stock lovers.

Thanks for sharing
[Motorola Atrix HD] aviwdoowks:
To everyone:

Is it working? I do not have an Atrix HD. Please give some feedback.
[Motorola Atrix HD] aviwdoowks:
v3 up. No twrp allowed.
[Motorola Atrix HD] PeteSeiler2010:
If I did not already have an SD Swap already running,(I am on Holoblur with his sd swap) I would test this out. Do you think there is a chance for this to work on cm 11?
[Motorola Atrix HD] aviwdoowks:
No way.

Is your separate?

It appears it is.
[Motorola Atrix HD] aviwdoowks:
V4 up. Much improved.
[Motorola Atrix HD] PeteSeiler2010:
Is there anyway to make this work for 4.2.2 or 4.3? I would love to be able to use the SD swap on pacman.
[Motorola Atrix HD] aviwdoowks:
I will eventually make a flash out of the script posted for 4.3. There is an alpha I just through together.
[Motorola Atrix HD] PeteSeiler2010:
Sweet, I will test it when you make it available.
[Motorola Atrix HD] PeteSeiler2010:
Is there still a chance at having a 4.3 or 4.4 version of this SD Swap? I would be a test monkey for you if you need.

I was flashing my Samsung infuse 4g and my little brother grabbed the USB cable. so everything got messed up!

when I connect the phone to my computer this message shows up "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies & try again."

I've tried to do that and nothing seemed to be working :(

I've tried to flash another ROM but the problem is that the phone won't go into download mode so I can use Odin.

Please help! :(

Actually this is download mode my friend. Just load odin and you are gonna be able to flash a rom in the phone and you'll be back on track in no time ;)

Hi guys,

you know how to hack a server-sided apk app? Please tell me, because i'm searching for that for 1 year but never found it.

I know that's the best developer's forum and i hope you don't ignore my question or fooling around.

Thanks.

Oh.. if you know something about making a mod of that apk app tell me please.

(Monster Warlord is the apk i meant)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenobol:
DISCLAIMER copyright claims are n easy thing!

1. "server sided apk", can't be hacked, at least you have to hack the server itself, depending on what data you want to modify and where the data is computed - on client or host side.

(tried something similar with the ingress apk :D )

2. to modify an android application you should have programmed one at first - or know about the structure of such an app, for reengineering purpose.

2.1 decompiling:

2.2 yes this the heavy load, what to do now depends on what app you want to modify and what in the app - up to you! ;)

No, your missing the point...but lets for the sake of arguement say there was a so file in there with the prices u can mod them all day long an as soon as u connect back to the SERVER...poof all that wasted time..if u dont have physical or atleast a lan line to the server u cant do much on their end.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g2x_pig:
I recently put TWRP on my LG G2 from Tmobile (D801). I then used it to flash CyanogenMod 10.2. It worked great. Then I decided to see if any other ROMS were available.

I downloaded AEON v3.zip (which I now realize was for D800) and tried to flash it from TWRP. It (obviously) didn't work as I expected, and now I can't get the phone into recovery mode. When I try to get it into the download mode (volume up+plugging in USB), the download mode screen flashes up for a second, but then it just goes to the Fastboot mode started /udc_start() screen.

It appears that I can use the fastboot utility on my computer to interact with the phone. fastboot devices -l results in a question mark (it says "? fastboot").

I've tried downloading openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2tmo.img and flashing it to my device with:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2tmo.img

It indicates that it is successful ("OK") but I still cannot get into recovery mode.

Help?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vepaot:
Try downloading an app from The Play store called Quick Boot, it should let you reboot into recovery. Also, I'd imagine CM has a feature that allows you to boot into recovery from the power menu when you hold your power button down for a sec.

Thanks for the reply! I didn't have a working ROM to boot into, so I was just trying to get into Recovery mode to begin with. :)

Got some help from autoprime on #lg-g2 and found out that I was using the wrong timing on my recovery mode key presses to get into TWRP.

I get a rather frustrating mesaage when I connect my O2 Exec via the USB port. It takes about 3 time before the connection with the comp finally happen.

Does anybody else have this problem and can anybody help?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mcoxall:
Yep

I get the same problem but only with one PC. It happens on either USB port and is not helped by adding a USB hub. As such i am investigating the problem as if it is PC based.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gooroo:
Is this with ActiveSync or CardExport? Either way try rebooting PC first, wait for it to finish loading Windows. Power off your Universal, connect cable to Universal and PC then power on Universal. Seems to work okay for me. If you are using CardExport, remember you can't change modes while connected.

I have an O2 xda mini and that connects first time every time.

Found it strange that the Exec did not do same!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Noxis:
I have this on one PC - make sure the XDA is turned off first. Then plug the USB cable in and it should power up by itself and get recognised by the PC.

Also make sure you are using the very latest ActivSync (4.1 I believe).

Thanks lads - connect the cable while the Exec was off and it cobnnects first time. Good stuff!!

Why is that?

I think its the phone not the pc that is at fault, as i had a usb car charger and a usb power charger, both using a standard usb lead and the same fault applies, obviously just charging, AS wouldnt happen would it lol.

me missus just got a wizard and none of these faults occur on it

I concur that the plugging in USB while Uni is switched off is much more successful. Can I check with you guys - can you activesync by USB while bluetooth is on? I've not been successful with that.
