im having some real trouble trying to install a new rom on my hd2... i get it all right but just as the progress bar comes up its like my phone disconnects from my pc and it cancels the install of the new rom can anyone help me out here.. cheers guys
ok im using rom 1.66 and my phone is with telstra
i think this is the source of all my trouble... TELSTRA.. i realise i have to downgrade but the damn thing wont even let me do that.. any tips?
fallback success
i dl'd 1.49.841.1 rom from htcpedia.. currently installing hopefully im heading in the right direction here
Lets see if anyone can help....a lot of this talk of rooting and flashing is over my head...My atrix is running 2.3.4. It was like this when I got it. The wifi won't turn on at all. It only shows error. Is there anyway that I can put it back to 2.2? Or is there anyway to fix the error. Someone told me the kernels may be different??? Is putting a different ROM on the phone very difficult?
Where did you get it from?
yes it may be over your head a little but no means to stop reading up on it and remember to search before your post - there is another thread of this that was recently posted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180494&highlight=wifi+error
none the less. we would need more details. what rom you are using, what version of the device you have (US or Intl) key would be going through the thread you got it from. but more than likely the cause is you flashed a kernel/rom that doesn't work with your device it will be an easy fix once the details are given.
I had this issue too... I tried a few different methods to remedy it but the only one that worked was flashing a new ROM.
okay it is a US Version...4.5.91
kernel version....2.6.32.9 ( then below that is says [email protected] #11)
ok so you used an at&t rom on an at&t device? and i assume u kept the same kernel.
No...the phone came like this...I didn't do any of the updates or anything.
I had the same issue after I restored once. Could not fix it...had to reflash a ROM and the problem was fixed.

okay so is reflashing the ROM difficult? Is there any thread on here or somewhere else that I can read up on that would be of help doing this. I don't wanna brick this phone but I need the wifi or my data plan is screwed...
I hate to revive this thread but I have a wifi error I can't resolve. I first got it on 1.8.3 and flashed to 2.3.4 and it was gone. Then when I tried to install the new adroidmarket.apk, I got the wifi error and it won't go away no matter how many roms I try to or how many times reflash 2.3.4.
Essentially, wifi says there's an error and any time it tries to turn on, it reboots the phone. I've tried Alien, and Ninja and neither of them worked. I haven't tried piCrust yet.
hi evr1
since moto released the 45.2.5 update i have nothing but trouble
wifi error and battery drain.
did some 1 actually flashed the 45.2.1 sbf with rsdlite after he upgraded to 45.2.5?
is it dangerous?
my phone is not rooted or somthing got the stock 45.2.5 from the OTA.

You should be fine to downgrade, especially if you haven't unlocked.
yea like this guy that told me if i'll do a hard reset it will solve my wifi problems
and guess what
WRONG!!!

now i dont do **** until i know that some 1 did the roll back with rsdlite to MR1
without any problems.
:| sry for being so rude but i don't to waste my time chasing ghosts i don't
live in US cant go to Sprint if something went wrong.
so if some 1 did actually roll back to MR1 ill be happy to do that.

I can't tell you I downgraded specifically on this phone but I can tell you that downgrading will not hurt your phone. Its only puts the exact rom,kernel etc. Back on the phone that it was shipped with. In the evo forum we would downgrade and upgrade our devices all the time. For some reason or another each radio worked differently with each device. I believe it was a hardware issue.
So in essence you shouldn't have a problem because you are not doing anything to damage the phone. I will contact a dev for you to make sure. His name is xxxvirusxxx on here, well respected dev.

Actually downgrading has hard bricked a few atrix users. No reports of this yet from Photon, and I know others have downgraded.
ok...how do i get the .sbf file?

I flashed the 45.2.5 update on the forums here over the official one and it worked fine. I was having some issues with the OTA maybe it didn't install correctly I am not sure but since I flashed over with rsdlite I have had no issues.
i reflashd it (MR5) 3 times already and having the same issue wifi error!
now i downloaded the MR3 sbf but i will not flash it unless some 1 in the forum
will confirm that downgrade with rsdlite to earlier version will not brick my phone
OK i'v done it flashed the phone back to MR3 with RSDLITE i almost peed in
my pants when the phone started and stuck'd on the "NOW" after the reboot.
the phone flash'd but again having "wifi error"
but the most odd thingy is when activating the phone with the Sprint zone
app the phone i was able to use wifi and after activating it the phone rebooted
its self and the wifi issue came...its something to do with this ****ty app.
Im having the most annoying problems with my photon
all used to work well, signal bars were great.
then one day i had a fail to boot message, so i flashed this SBF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666
And nothings been the same. It seems my radio/baseband is messed up
I have it set to GSM Only as usual
but every now and then it just loses signal ( i think when it switches towers) and wont come back till i reset it. and other times itll switch to 'Automatic' and think its a CDMA phone.
And the most annoying part is most of the time ill have 'signal' but little do i know no text messages are getting to me. and no phone calls. and if i try a phone call it hangs up a second in. These problems are all intermittent, itll suddenly just work after time, then stop after time. I thought it was my SIM Card but all is functional 100% in a different phone. I hope i dont have a sudden hardware problem in the phone itself.
I tried flashing to old SBFs, factory resetting nothing works
Ofcourse I skip the handset activation at the beginning as im in canada (GSM) and i cant seem to 'factory reset' the radio or use any of those codes because im in Canada and it asks for a passcode that i dont have
if ANYONE knows nething i can do pelase help, because its looking like i have to ditch the photon
I flashed my phone with that too, but no network problem after that.
I guess you have tried already to flash again. I'm also on gsm only.

im thinking my phones radio is physically crapping out.. ah.
Perhaps that SBF borks GSM usage? Have you tried one of the very first SBF's that have been put out?
i tried 154_5, and 198_6, not sure if they are 'official', but both have this problem.
do u know of any other ones, or of some factory rom
id try those deblurred custom roms, but they have this wierd bug of not showing signal bars with GSM, aka no matter how good my signal is, the signal bar will always show 0 in those roms
I have been searching for crazy for the past week becuase i have had the same issue.
UMTS 3G radio stopped working, but i have not been able to find any 154 sbf files to flash.
I have to keep GSM mode only, and my battery life is terrible. Battery dies after 7 hours with NO usage. The only thing i have not tried, after flashing all kinds of software, is doing a nandroid backup on another Photon and flashing it on my phone. Will try it right now ad report back.
thats a good idea, especially if the nandroid u take is from a STOCK completely untouched Photon, i just wanna go back to how it was when i first got it
let me know how it works out! so we can upload it
i have the 154 sbf if u wanna try it:
http://www.multiupload.com/FNZKNV0T3G
ps: try flashing a rom from the dev section like that 'Home Base' one, i will try later
THANK YOU! I have been trying like crazy to find the 154 one. Im flashing the nandroid backup, but im doing it over the advanced settings, sine the /boot folder is giving me an error while checking "MD5 sums". It says error while flashing boot image. All other folders restore ok. I´ll post back.
ps. I´ve flashed HomeBase and Alien rom and apparently they do not touch the basebands.
considering that sbf that broke it for me is an official sprint update, it means sprint/motorola messed it up, knowingly or unknowingly, should we make it clear to them (to matt on those moto forums). not many users probably use gsm w sprint/photon so the problem isnt wide spread
i think the one that was working for me was soemthing even before 154, i cant remember if i updated my photon once, 194 is the third OTA right?
Im not very sure, but i work for Sprint, so i´ll check it out tomorrow and let you know.
Anyways, my friend with the Photon, the one i used for a nandroid backup does not have any issues connecting to 3G Gsm networks. It is very odd indeed.
[Edit] My friend´s Photon and mine do not have the same baseband version after the nandroid backup, so i guess it doesnt touch it. We need to figure out a way to get the sbf for the baseband,
whats ur baseband version?
ill check mine
if u work for sprint thats a bonus, dig around tomorrow!
my baseband is n_01.28.05s.fk i am currently doing an OTA update that has been ongoing for a week. im still only at 23%. so there may be a newer version.

Don't know if it helps at all, But I'm on CDMA and my baseband version is the same. n_01.28.05s.fk
I'm on GSM/UMTS in Italy and my baseband version is n_01.28.07R with update 45.3.6 and is ok
So i'm trying to run the 3.16 update and everytime i download it it says the update is corrupt would you like to try again? Trying again and its the same results over and over. I'm on a stable wifi connection. I googled the issue and the only thing i could find was toggling the wifi setting of DLNA auto-IP as a fix but it didn't work for me. Anyone else have any trouble with updating or know of a fix?
Phone specs
S-ON
Relocked (previously stuck at 3.15 with bad radios from ruu issues, has since been solved)
Bro do yourself a favor and get S-OFF and you will NEVER have to take another OTA
i've done all that stuff before. I got sick of having a phone that only functions at 90% because gps is not working on this rom or lte isn't working on that rom. No offense to anyone here but i just don't think the process of loading custom roms is worth the risk especially when i only have one phone and essentially only use the wifi tether feature. i just want to know if theres any fix to obtain this update.
