Thanks for the reply, if it's not trouble can you navigate to the /pds/ folder with a rooted file browser and see if any files are there?

Am able to update prl and profile, I'm on unlocked rooted 198_7 (shadowevolved) pds has files I'm able top update through Sprint zone and settings

Mine has no contents, and I believe that is why I can't update. I really don't know how it got erased, but it seems like I will never be able to fix it if no one else is having this issue it won't be a major concern for developers to work on a fix. I really don't want to take it too Sprint >< I'm not paying for insurance either.
thanks for replies. I know now that something is wrong with my phone .
Have you tried using RSD to apply the 198_7 SBF? Not flashing a 198 based rom, but applying the SBF

As far as erasing the PDS partition goes, formatting the internal sd through CWM caused it for me.

I've SBF'ed to 198_7 and 198_6, but I never checked with root browser to see if the pds partition is empty but I STILL could not update profile/prl, and it's 100% that it gets stuck on "Contacting Network" so i have to use the No BP-Airplane mode workaround. I have flashed ROM's right after the SBF's, for instance, ROCKO/Imperium show empty PDS partitions, after a SBF to 198_7

No . I had to replace my phone once because of that. The second time I had been fortunate enough to advance restore the PDS through CWM and fix it like that out of trial and error. I was looking into finding the file that affects the updates but havent found anything conclusive. Edit: (...Yet.)
Well unfortunately PDS contains personal information otherwise I'd offer to zip and post ut for you.
Good luck!

Hmm, would Sprint replace my phone for cheap, off insurance, and if so, how would I go about asking them to replace it? An erased PDS partition is kind of suspicious..
What other issues could an erased PDS partition cause, besides not being able to contact network for updates.

Were you on insurances?
What other issues were you having with the phone, because of the pds?
Stay online ... will have something for you to try in 1 minute.
EDIT - Try
1) Create a folder in PDS named "omadm"
2) Set permission of folder rwxrwx--
3) Download attached zip and place contents from zip into "omadm"
4) All files inside "omadm" should be set to rw-----
5) Reboot

Is there a method to relock the phone after you are rooted for both the docked version and dockless version?
Yes. You can either flash a new SBF, which will overwrite the /system partition -- or you can manually go and remove the "su" executable from the partition and uninstall any root-enabled apps you have.

Unless I'm the exception and not the rule. Flashing the stock SBF only unrooted the phone. My phone is still unlocked with CWM recovery.

I'm new to this and have rooted my Photon successfully. Everything was great until yesterday morning when my 3g connection refused to start. I've tried everything including Sprint's advanced tech support...I'm now forced to take my MoPho to the in-store tech and have them diagnose, so I need to get it unrooted.
Here's my question: can somebody please do a step by step on how to manually remove the executable? I really need to get this thing fixed! It SUCKS having no data connection outside of wifi!!

Sweet, I've read through that whole thread before but I wasn't sure because it sounded like it was a supplement, like one that people were doing to improve something, not to return to original...but I'm working through it.
1 snag -- my web filter is blocking the multiupload site...I've got the wheels spinning to get it unblocked but I was curious where to find these other servers you mention provided by xda?

UPDATE #1
***I found a mirror that was not blocked ***
Wouldn't let me post the link though...I'm too new
UPDATE #2
It worked to un-root my phone but didn't work to fix the 3g connectivity problems I was having. I was forced to factory data reset, but it's working now.
Hey, everyone. I know this is probably the last thing you want to read, but I could really use some prompt help.
I tried the method posted in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686551
I got to step 3, but it didn't let me choose recovery. It just started installing the update. However, when it rebooted, it never got past the white HTC boot screen. I pulled the battery, pulled the MicroSD card, went back into the bootloader and tried running Factory Reset. Same result - stuck at white HTC boot screen.
Some more information:
1. Device is completely stock - no customer bootloader, stock Gingerbread OS. (2.3.4. That's why I wanted to try this in the first place. According to HTC, my IMEI number block hasn't been updated for ICS, yet.)
2. I renamed the file "update" as per the thread.
I'm hoping that the devs and contributors here will have mercy on a lowly noob who's having problems. I'm hoping to either return to stock and wait for the ICS update, or get to the point where I can install a custom ROM found here. (I was thinking SpeedROM). But, as my device has Gingerbread (or, potentially nothing at this point), I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thanks so much for any suggestions. You guys are the best, and I love this site.
Not sure if you've tried this yet, just name your file as PH85IMG.zip and place it on your microSD. Boot into bootloader and let it run the update. If this is what you did, then I have no clue what happened.
Just out of curiosity, why didn't you get the official OTA the official way if you're completely stock?
PS - This question belongs in the Q&A subforum. Remember that next time if you don't want to get flamed =)

The official update just never showed up. I literally lost count of the number of times I went into Settings > About phone > HTC software updates > Check now.
I've been on probably 4 chats and 4-5 calls between T-Mobile customer service and HTC tech support. The general consensus is that my phone's IMEI number is in a block that hasn't been authorized for the ICS update, yet. But, I really wanted to upgrade, and I think it's ridiculous that it's been 2 months since the update and my phone can't.
Ok, so I'm first going to apologize, since I've heard that double-posting is very much not accepted by forum communities.
I've tried several times to fix this. I renamed the file as was suggested, and went back into the bootloader. It (apparently) scans the MicroSD card for files, and says "Loading...[PH85IMG.zip]" (It attempts to load PH85DIAG.zip, says no image, and PH85IMG.nbh, and again says no image)
After this, it says "Checking..[PH85IMG.zip]" (That is the only thing it says)
Then, I get the options:
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
CLEAR STORAGE
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
If I go into FASTBOOT, it doesn't really help - just reboots either the bootloader (repeating this process, obviously) or the phone, which goes back to the white HTC boot screen it's hanging on.
If I go into RECOVERY, there's not option to install the .zip like the other page suggests, but if I try "Install update from SD card" it gives me "Illegal operation" and reboots.
If I go to FACTORY RESET, it acts like it's reinstalling, but leads to the same problem.
I'm thinking that I just nuked the phone's internal storage, and completely deleted the original OS. Any ideas on how to resolve that?
Or, if that's not the problem, where should I go from here?
It's funny....I troubleshoot computers for a living....but I'm lost right now on this phone.
Thank you for the continued help, gents! I'd really like to not have to throw away a $350, brand new phone....
I would guess you have one of the 3
the wrong carrier's ruu
A bad download of ruu
Renamed wrong (maybe you added ".zip" when it already had the ext but is just hidden by windows 7)

Hm....well, it's not the third. I doubt the first, unless the wrong file was linked in the thread I mentioned. I'll try downloading the file again.
So, if this still doesn't work for me, let's attack this from a different angle. Are there any other options? Could I change the bootloader, install the leaked ICS ROM, then install another one after that? Like I said, I had been considering trying out Project Butter Speed ROM. I know that the instructions for all that are in the Amaze Bible thread, but there's such a large volume of data there, it's hard to sift through.
Edit: Re-downloaded the file; no change. Any more suggestions?
I've been away a while, but if my memory serves me correct, to install it using ph85img, you must first relock your bootloader. are you locked or unlocked right now?

I never unlocked or modified the bootloader in any way. That's why I thought this would work. My impression was that basically everything had to be stock.

I think you need to reconsider the name of your file. If it shows up as PH85IMG.zip, more likely than not, it is actually named PH85IMG.zip.zip
This is due to how Windows reads files. If the file is of a known file type, it will not show up the extension (even though it IS there).
Try renaming it to PH85IMG and then put it in the root directory of the SD card and then boot into bootloader. It *should* read it.

I'm a computer support tech. Trust me, I did not add an extra file extension, lol. Windows does indeed recognize it as a zip file, so I know the extension is properly set. Name is just set to "PH85IMG"

I understand that, but if you read through the Q&A section, you'll know why I imperatively make that statement. Can you link me to which file you're trying to flash? I'm thinking it might be a wrong file you're trying to flash.
When you flash or update via a stock ruu, it may seem stuck but it isn't, first boot always takes time, read through this thread properly when I get home, the guys seems to be here, so I'm not needed anyways.

The only thing you can flash is Electrify 2.3.5 image. If you are using it on GSM network, and not on Sprint, you wont notice any difference exept of some other wallpapers and missing 4G menu in settings.

This is completely off topic and I am very sorry for this I am just very desperate. But I mistakenly deleted a system file I shouldnt have without backing up and now the play store, youtube etc will not let me login. Can you make a backup of all the system files or even make a rom? Thanks. If you can it would be greatly appreciated. my email is [email protected].
Dark... you can do that but you would then have to lose root. My suggestion to you is you use the unroot method in superuser if your superuser has the option or get universal unroot from the play store. you would restore your backup of the stock rom and then remove all that you can like recovery and then use 1 of the methods i mentioned to break root.
The point being is you can go back to complete stock rom but if you are still rooted and they see then "no warranty for you!" (heh warranty nazi)

So, if I used Odin to flash the stock ROM, my status would still show "custom"?? I thought if you flashed stock, it unrooted and put it back to official?
Also, michaelgg13, if you can tell me which file you are missing, I can try to get it and send it to you if that will help?

Thats the thing I am not exactly sure which file it is. Im kind of stuck. it must be some sort of google service. Is there anyway to backup all of the stock files? I am new to android so I am trying to figure this out haha. Thank you for answering though.
no the su binaries will stay which gives superuser the write permissions to the root of the device such as /system
Flashing the rom back just puts all the files back as they were, plus you backed it up with the su binaries intact so it will still be there after the restore of stock rom

Ah, I see. Well, I've added a couple different things into my system files so I don't think you'll want all of that. However, if you have your files and contacts backed up, there was a thread somewhere either here or on another forum that had the stock ROM that you could flash with Odin. I could try and find that for you if you want it.

no the su binaries will stay which gives superuser the write permissions to the root of the device such as /system
Flashing the rom back just puts all the files back as they were, plus you backed it up with the su binaries intact so it will still be there after the restore of stock rom

Ooh...I think you might have me mistaken. I'm asking if I flash a completely stock ROM with Odin. NOT a Nandroid backup or any other form of backup. Just a stock ROM with Odin. Would that reset everything back to official status?

Ah, I see. Well, I've added a couple different things into my system files so I don't think you'll want all of that. However, if you have your files and contacts backed up, there was a thread somewhere either here or on another forum that had the stock ROM that you could flash with Odin. I could try and find that for you if you want it.

On that forum is the stock TAR file that I believe you can flash through Odin. The instructions are on there. :victory:

Hey well thanks a bunch for trying!!!
EDIT: just tried the link again, it is actually taking me to the download page but the download doesnt work. so close i can almost taste it!
EDIT 2: after reading their facebook page they said they are having dns issues, so they should be back shortly!
ahhh maybe you will break root then. If i remember right from my Bionic if i FXZ'd with House of bionic it redoes EVERYTHING wipes the system.img.. just everything boot.img all of it.
I'm not exactly sure how that would work to be honest cause flashing the rom back may still leave those binaries in... this is something I'm not totally sure on but i still do not think it will break root.
My phone suddenly is having issues with "authorization" to place calls. Sprint told me to update the profile before resorting to re-programming it into their system. I am unable to update the profile or anything because of the ROM I am using, and my backup has disappeared from stock
I've had the hardest time finding a stock rom or SBF that is NOT electrify, last I heard the electrify one is good to avoid at all costs.. May I get some assistance?:good:

2.3.4?
Yeah, as long as it is stock. Doesn't matter what version, once I get this working right i'll be flashing back to another ROM and make sure I have a backup stored on my pc this time.

Yeah i'm having a hell of a time, i've been there already and downloaded the only one from loki's web site. It is an .exe and does nothing though, I need the sbf. I've never had trouble finding anything this is nuts -_-
Found one!
This is the only one I've found. Comes with root unlock relock and bootstrap kit. Good luck fixing it.http://billionuploads.com/v3lv293gank2
I am pretty sure I have 198_6 or 198_7 on my hdd. I'll check when I get home tomorrow. If I do I'll link to it.
