My friends vibrant which is rooted with eugenes macnut13, locked which means he has t mobile, won't get service. Like an idiot he took it to t mobile and the lady there factory reseted it, didn't help. Gave him a new sim card, still no service. Sup he gave to me and I figured it could be the rom so I flashed axura 2.1, still no service. Any suggestions before I odin it then tell him to take back to t mobile?

I had similar problem and it turned out it was defective sim cards and also there are multiple types of sim cards now that T Mobile is putting out and not all work in every device. Tech rep told me this and I found it to be true. Perhaps checking with TMobile about type of sim card might be a possible solution.
Ok thanks. Also does anyone know if there is a stock rom thats flashable through clock work instead of having to use odin, because I'm not bricked but would like to return to complete stock, searched and couldn't find one just wondering if it exists.

Seriously, odin nothing to fear its so easy as long as you have the Samsung drivers installed and you use the correct provided files. You should give it a go. I have done it countless times and it has never failed. You can even watch a video on YouTube on how to do it.

Hi check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080490
first post is link to the orange file, go to page 16 and download the t-moblie one, once done write both to your phone (orange 1st t-mobile 2nd)
hope this helps.
Thanks for such a quick response lonegunman.today I downloaded Rds lite and a sbf but when I tried to flash it said failed so I tried to use Motorola update put it in RSS mode and get same error when it'd 18% through update and comes up with sec_sector Febe 4e.4e .I wouldn't mind but myhome key button doesn't work and I have lost my Motorola Widgets.I'm worried my dock wont work with webtop anymore as I've lost the webdocking feature when I connect it.feel like slitting my wrists....lol only joking but its really getting me down now any other advice or is it an insurance job?! Lol

Have a read round as stuck on 18% update does ring a bell to me,can't help to much as working now but I am sure the phone can be sorted.

RSS lite still not working properly could it be because I'm using 64 bit windows 7 PC? Found now I have no folders on my internal memory!!! Help please someone
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Could be a 64 bit problem, i used a 32bit windows 7 and it worked ok but some have better luck on xp, have you tried recovery again?
Yes m8 I've tried everything. And now I've noticed all the folders on my internal memory have gone its empty. I don't know what to do for the best do you think if I act dumb and take it into T-Mobile shop they will be able to send it off to Motorola to wipe and reinstall original software as I said when I try to wipe it ..it says sub sector exception blah blah blah and stops the software update.I'm losing my marbles over this one I have read around and people are saying flash with orange uk then T-Mobile over top but I can't even get RdS to work lol

And when my phone is off and I put it on the dock to charge it turns the phone on and locks on the first boot screen when I lift it off green motor sign comes up and gingerblur kicks in .....strange!?

rsd lite works fine on 64, make sure you have the motorola 64 bit drivers installed: http://gitbrew.org/atrix/
rsd lite 5.0 definitely works but there is a v 5.3.1 that people are using but havnt tried myself.
download the t mobile sbf here:
http://www.fileserve.com/file/XNePGN2
this one is a service sbf so you should wipe your data using android recovery, or you can just flash the orange uk sbf which is a full one so you wont need to worry about wiping data:
http://www.fileserve.com/file/pqGGUst
read this guide to get an idea how to flash, read it carefully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
and i wouldnt bother with gingerblur etc as they are based on the at&t rom
also sending the phone back in its current state would be a very bad idea, it wouldnt take a genius to work out youve messed it up yourself so they probably wouldnt fix it for you
Try as the post above says,short of that if you near one of us maybe we could have a try.

How can I fix my sprint motorola photon 4g phone after flashing the us cellular rom on it? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Get replacement if you have tep or send to Motorola to get it fix. Use your common sense what you would say to describe the problem. Otherwise there is no fix.

There is I did the same thing, Theres no way to go back to stock, but there is a way to fix it so it works again. Check my thread that says rocko ROM 3.0 or somethin

If it's the 2.3.5 you're locked for good. Get a replacement. Not sure how so many people accidentally flash the electrify sbf's to the photon...

It's not so much different phone, problem is, that it's 2.3.5 and we don't have any 2.3.5 for photon for reflash.
It's not bricked, you just need to learn some steps to bring it back to sprint services.

Hi peetr! Thank you for your responce. My system build before flashing was (198_7)-1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf This is what I was on before I rsd'ed the 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US
I accidentally flashed my photon to the 2.3.5.usc electrify rom as well and would love a solution if there is one besides taking it back to sprint. I believe my warranty is voided now and being a full time student i can't afford to pay for them to fix my phone. any solutions ?
Talk to motorola, just tell them phone doesn't work. I got new refurbished phone from them.

I was redoing my phone and decided to try mobile Odin...it usually said this device not supported... This time it downloaded a service pack and is working... I haven't used it yet... Or do I know much about it cause I never had a phone it would work on...but since it says it works for our phone and a mobile Odin might be useful I thought I would let everyone know...you can find chainfires thread on mobile Odin in the forums

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Well I tried flashing the T-Mobile modems but when I reboot I don't have service so I guess I should flash the at&t modems since it is the at&t phone guess it doesn't matter I'm using tmobile service
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
It does matter what modem you use and it depends on your location. ANY and ALL modems should give you phone service at least. So you have a problem. A problem talked about much many months ago. Again Backup, wipe completely, and install the factory ATT ROM using odin. Before you set it up do a factory reset for ****z and giggles. Verify that you have phone service. Then install recovery and superuser. Then install a T-mobile modem. Verify you have data and phone service. Then install the ROM of your choice. Do not reinstall a modem.
And please quit posting everywhere. You have been told what to do by a few now and all you do is rant everywhere. Maybe you should have purchased a T-mobile phone to use on T-mobile and saved yourself the trouble.
Yea but they charged more for the t-mobile version ima prolly wait and sell this one for 300 and put that with my check 2 hrs pf battery life is sad i thought the note would be better then that lol but i already did all that and i know im in a t-mobile 4g area cuz i had a t-mobile phone before and i tried all the modems they are not compatible for this phone im thinking the guy lied to me i think o might have a foreign phone again

you have ATT phone, use ATT modems. if you are that hellbent on using Tmobile, have you done the SIM unlock???
"Super Everything" is just that. it has everything. I just cant help but think you want everything and you want it yesterday. relax, people will help you.

super everything, and look for SIM unlock.
this will instruct you how to unlock from ATT (getting a code from them) then unlock.
just read it the yesterday as a matter of fact. RANGER CAPTAIN is the author of the thread. in the first post, scroll down a bit and it is listed with some MOD's.
titled "UOCKING STEPS"
once unlocked, then you can put your Tmobile SIM in. as he states this only needs to be done once. you can then flash other ROM's and the process should stick.
good luck
Thanks man sorry for being a noob lol
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
by the way, if you e spending a lot of time in recovery or constantly flashing something, your battery is going to SUPER SUCK.
your battery should be in the higher end of charged when flashing. recommended 70% or better. could probably get away with 55 or 60 though. again, every time you flash, you take a hit.
Ah ok but a friend of mine used it today it was fully charged went from 100% to 5% in like an hr and 45 min and i was reading on the sim unlock this phone was already unlocked when i purchased it that's how i was able to get t-mobile on this phone i get 4g but it doesn't stay connected i have to restart a lot to get it connected again and most of the time i have no bars so idk maybe i should stop buying unlocked phones lol

I've had this problem too, so try this. Click on roaming, and if that doesn't work, take you sim card out and put it back in, and see if that. good luck! Ultimately I think it's a card problem, and if it happens to me again, I'm going to Verizon and getting another sim
