Can't update prl or profile, phone reboots - Motorola Photon 4G

I have tried, on several occasions, to update both. My phone will get to the screen saying it is checking for updates, then it will reboot. Anyone else have this issue, is there a way to fix it?
Thank you in advance,

Never had this issue on any of my phones, sorry :/

This is the first one I've had issues with, could it be the phone itself? I've had random restarts before, and had removed/replaced the battery as recommended in another thread, but still have problems.

You might want to try to flash the update here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666
Or you can flash this 45.2.5 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212824
and then try the manual update again to get you up to date?

I'm running 45.3.5, is that maybe the issue?

Updating PRL problem

I recently updated to CM7 and I seem to be having problem updating the PRL. I try to update and it says updated successfully, but then when the call ends it said it failed to activate. Then it kills the radio completely and I have to reboot.
I didn't check the PRL before so I am not sure if it actually updated. It is also pretty strange that it kills the radio.
Any ideas?

It's actually updating, just reboot afterwards. No way to fix it.

Ok that is good to know at least. I have to reboot after doing it anyway since it kills the radio.
Thanks for the response! This is a great ROM with just a few minor quirks, thanks for all that you do for the community!

I just got excited for no reason...

Just got an ota update from att. Was hoping for ICS... Didn't happen.... 2.3.6 gingerbread

Cool story bro....... lol had to say that. But don't expect ics for a while. This thread is probably going to be locked/closed.

We all know about it it has been around for a little while

UCKK6 has been around for nearly a month as an OTA at this point, and even longer as a leak.
Why do people insist on always posting that they got a damned OTA? 99% of the time they just got what everyone else has had (or has been avoiding) for a month.
Try it again. Sometimes you need to do it twice to get ICS.
Too many people are trying to download it at once.

I JUST DID IT, but damnit, this OTA update broke basically everything, including my buttons... phone doesn't work, wifi doesn't work either... if I wanted a useless phone I would have gotten a Galaxy Player not an SII...
Hence why people avoid it. I never did the ota update but when using one of unnameds older gingerbread roms versus one based on 2.3.6 you can see the battery drainage and lag differences.

Continuous reboots all of a sudden

I'm on NRG's ROM. All of a sudden yesterday, my phone just starting rebooting itself. I've been using his ROM for a while now and it never happened. I have the logcat. Can someone tell me what the hell is happening?
I already superwiped and flashed a clean ROM. I didn't add tweaks or install any apps and it still happens. Really pissing me off.
Could be hardware. Revert back to stock for 24hrs. If it revolts again then it could be hardware related....it could also be battery related.
X told me I had to fix permissions. I just did that so I will see if it happens. I hope not lol.
About 2/3 of the way down the logcat you have all kinds of system errors... Idk what they mean, but look legible to anyone who knows what they're looking at

There were a TON of unkown permissions toward the top of logcat

Ota coming soon!

I was informed today that Verizon is pushing out the new Ota already. If you haven't gotten it you will soon. 2 questions....
1. Do we have to Odin back to stock to receive the update?
2. Will there have to be a new process to root after we accept the ota?
Should this have gone under the Q and A?

I think this has already been discussed. The nee ota is nothing more than the search feature dumbing down and a new baseband+kernel. I believe you can root this with the current method. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Why mess up your root? Just give it some time and the devs will probably have the update rooted and ready to flash with Odin !
Can anybody confirm that these will not auto-install?
On my HTC Incredible, I would just hit install later, but the popup would come back every 15 minutes.. very annoying!
Soon as the update comes out I will have a fully deodexed rooted zipaligned version available.
If I can figuire it out, I will also make an Odin image out of it.

No one does. But literally its as simple as putting the old search apk back into the new rom or ota. Nothing to be worried about

Double post please delete.
I love how Samsung and Verizon take so long to release updates - except when it's to take away the features on your phone. They get those out pretty quickly.
Does this OTA have any benefit??
Any way to block this ota? I have root access

I don't remember where I read this but you have to freeze FWUpdate.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
It's been pretty well established how to restore proper search functionality. The real question should be what do the kernel and radios do? Any improvements in reception or battery life? Any improvements in device performance? And most importantly, does this change anything regarding bootloader unlocking research and work-arounds?

How do you freeze this? I have force stopped it, but for me "disable" is greyed out

You can freeze apps with Titanium Backup.

Thanks, didn't even think to do that for some reason. I just froze FWUpgrade, SDM & VZWUpdate in Titanium Backup.. can anyone confirm if there's anything more that needs to be frozen?
Here 1. Don't accept it. 2. We can pull radio and kernel and install those.

Update should fail anyway if you don't have a stock recovery. They generally require a stock recovery to update the phone.

I consistently get -75 to -85 dbm so I really don't think there is a reception issue with the 4G radio for me. Now the WiFi is awful for me. That could be improved. GPS is sick.... I lock on in about half a second

FYI guys, we can still root using the same method after the OTA (VRALG1)

[Q] Why...???

I'm currently running TwistedUmbrella's rom dated 01-13-2013. Recently, I am experiencing re-boots when attempting to search apps on the newest version of Google Play...This is the only place I am experiencing the re-boot. I have rebooted into recovery (Teamwin) and run 'Fix Permissions' with no luck....Any ideas to help me solve this issue??
There's another issue that is causing the issue you're experiencing.

What's Next???
Ok....I can accept that there maybe another issue to resolve, but what steps would I take begin my troubleshooting
??
Use an older version of the rom. The reboots were less frequent for most on the older versions and nonexistent for some.
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
You go into settings and advance and uncheck one of the checked boxes. Tile or title rendering, maybe it was?
But should stop the reboots.
Sent from my XT912 using xda app-developers app
The reboots are caused by the ramdisks being misaligned. Changing the rendering method will do nothing most likely but you never know.

I had this problem on some builds of roms that have since been removed from the forums. Haven't had it on Santod's DeSense

That's because the roms that were removed also had misaligned ramdisks
