"upgrade" to 2.3.5 without reinstalling apps? - Motorola Photon 4G

Hello, anyone know if we can "upgrade" to 2.4.5 without having to start from scratch installing all apps again, etc?
(I have used Titanium backup and do not like it...)
Thanks.

2.3.5???? More than likely since 2.3.5 isn't offical yet.(unless your using an electricfy) your gonna have to wipe system data. Titanium backup is your best bet. And if you don't like TB cause you have to reinstall one by one, ithink the paid version does it for you.

Yes, 2.3.5 works just fine - didn't have to do anything at all with apps.
Will have to re-root with Torpedo.

Geez - hate it when people just make up stuff. Did NOT have to wipe sys data. PLEASE don't post if you do NOT know what you are talking about!

Those of you who did it without wipe - would you mind posting a link to the directions and the files you used?

just flash the update listed in the development section. flash it with whatever recovery you have. simple. no need to wipe anything.

How I did mine. Will lock the bootloader if that is a concern to you.

Thanks for the help.
So what is better about 2.3.5 aside from the video camera?

I was part of the 2.3.5 soak test since I don't care about a locked bootloader.
But, I'll say that it was largely a waste of time. Nothing about 2.3.5 worth doing. Don't know why Moto wasted time and resources on it.

Yeah, it wasn't that big of a deal. I wish it had been ICS!

Yeah, I am back on 2.3.4 now after all that.

[Q] Does anyone have a nandroid of the US retail stock official TW ROM? desperate

Could anyone help me find either the stock plain HC version (that's upgrade-able to TW) or the stock tw version that the p7510 WiFi US retail (from Best Buy) now ships with? I've been looking around for hours and I've tried a few, right now I have HMJ37.UEKG4 from the "look here first" thread and I don't think it's the right version.
Any help is appreciated!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089
To clarify...I just need this so it will get all future updates from samsung. (as it is as retail)
edit: bleh nvm..was using the wrong file from http://droidbasement.com/galaxy/sys-backup/hc_31/
Okay actually after installing that, it upgrades to version version HMJ37.UEKG4 p7510UEKG4...but now there's not another update. (so no touchwiz?)
I need to thing ready by tomorrow so thanks if you can help!
That is the IO firmware I think, so yeah, it's wrong. Haven't seen another link for stock HC retail. I have a Nandroid backup of a stock, untouched Tab before the TW update (from my own Tab), but I have no idea how to make it an ODIN or CWM file.

Alright well...since I'm kind of panicking at the moment because I can't get this thing to update properly, would you mind uploading the nandroid?
Otherwise I don't know what to do...I think I was on the stock firmware before the TW update but it only gave me a 10 MB update to the version I said above. Any help is highly appreciated
This is a very interesting question. I wonder why the stock ROM doesn't seem to be available?
Sent from my HTC Thunderbolt.
Or maybe there's a version with TW? Because I don't think I screwed anything up, maybe the TW update just isn't available anymore?
EDIT: Okay so the stock files put me on version HMJ37.UEKF3...then I get a 11.22MB update to HMJ37.UEKG4. After that I get no more updates, but I really need to get this baby back on stock TW by tomorrow.
I found one here that works with all future samsung updates, phew...

That is a zip file containing ODIN and ODIN-flashable KME (the latest official US WIFI Retail ROM with Touchwiz). BTW, I got this from the Overcome ROM thread in Development, so all credit goes to those guys for providing it.
I'll have to upload my Nandroid tomorrow as my Tab is dead and I'm heading to bed.

Since this is the official US WIFI Retail release, you should get future updates no problem.
That "Look Here First" thread really needs to remove that version of KF3.
If you still need nandroid backup of stock US retail wifi tab, here's the link: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/41710083/CWM Backup/2011-09-13.15.19.39(3.1).rar

You beat me to it .

[Fixed] Please help. Trying to go back to stock with a small carrier.

Okay so I tried using the main SBF tutorial on the dev forum here and that SBF file didn't work for my Milestone X2. I'm pretty sure the main problem is that I'm on ACS (Alaska Communication Systems) and they're using 2.3.6 and probably some strange baseband versions. I got some "boot error 1" or something.
Anyway, I can't find a .sbf file for the ACS version of my phone. I was able to get the phone to boot again using this nTelos sbf, but I wasn't able to make calls or anything and saw a flashing triangle on my status bar.
So I guess a few questions I have are..
1) Does anyone know of a .sbf file that would work for this?
2) Can I somehow edit the nTelos ROM to work with my carrier?
3) If I take it to ACS will they be able to flash the sbf file for me? Or at least supply me with it....
4) Have I voided my warranty by doing this?
Any information is helpful. Thanks!
----------------------------------------------------
Figured I'd give everyone a quick update. I got the phone replaced. I went in and played dumb. She asked if I tried to root it and I said "what's that? I think I've got a virus!!" She had no idea how to fix it so she just gave me a rapid replacement.
I would really like to get the SBF files so I can at least try the 2.3.6 root and not worry about messing it up this time, but any company in Alaska is pretty hard to deal with for anything at all.
Thanks for your help XDA! I miss my Skyrocket
I'm not sure if flashing a sbf file voids warranty. I imagine that it does because if done improperly or the sbf file is bad it could brick the phone. You're most likely going to have to take the phone to them.

you probably have to flash your phone in a similar method as a flash to cricket or metropc wireless except with your carriers information.

Not sure I fully understand, could you give a little more information please? Kind of nervous about taking it in.
was it just the flashing triangle that means you have to activate the phone?
maybe that's all you need to do?
SBF files are given to us by Motorola. I wouldnt think you would void your warranty by using them unless its a leaked version or something. But even then, you could play stupid and just say you didnt know. They might buy it.
I mean if all else fails ask for an sbf from your service provider.

Many thanks I shouldn't have made the attempt to downgrade first in the first place. This time I think I'll just attempt a simple root, which I've read worked for another ACS Milestone X2 2.3.6 user. After a root I can install ReRecovery and make a NANDROID backup right? Just in case anything goes wrong again? I haven't fully looked into it since I'm not rooted yet, but I'm assuming ReRecovery is just another thing similar to ClockWorkMod, which I have experience with. Too bad there are no 2.3.6 roms that I've seen :< I really hate this stock ROM and all its bloat.

yes, I do not blame you. There are parts of the stock rom I like but generally I do not like it. I just rooted my phone 2.3.6 method and it worked. My only advice is to download Super user from the market before you start the process.

I do want to help, but do not want to risk anything until I can get my phone setup to a point where I can always flash back to this ACS 2.3.6. Is that essentially done once/if I get ReRecovery on the phone?
Yea RR should be flashed whenever you leave cwr!
You could test on your acs.

New S4 owner - safestrap/ROM questions

So I am a new S4 owner and have rooted my phone and installed Safestrap. I'm on the 4.3 MK2 build and would like to flash a ROM with SS.
My question is, can I flash any rom once I create a new rom slot or are only certain ones compatible. If so is there a list so I don't brick my phone.
I really just want to make some tweaks like in 3minit. Can I flash the 3minit framework with SS and use that?

A very close one is Eclipse S4 TW Edition. I am running it now, but have the same problem as explained here.. I created 1 rom slot for this rom and now have no internal storage space available. All my storage seems to be in System Memory under Miscellaneous files, but I can't expand that any to see what is using it...
My thoughts are leaning towards having to wipe the phone completely and restoring a nandroid backup to the Stock slot, to be able to get full internal storage access using a custom rom. Little weary of doing that as i love the benefit of having the stock rom available if any problems arise, but don't have any space to do anything at the moment. Been posting on Eclipse's forum and also the safestrap forum hoping to get an answer from previous experiences, but it is not looking good...
I appreciate the devs and others around that help us newbies out when these challenges arise.

Yea, already have one of those. Soft bricked the phone week 1 of having it... I know that functionality exists now and works beautifully, just really was hoping there was another solution and not be a worrisome burden on the forums... I like the challenges and the learning experiences that come along with performing such tasks, but never want to lose a device in the process. I guess if all failed, I could go back to my dusty iPhone 5s.

First thing anyone who is going to mod/hack their phones should do is download the correct stock firmware for their phone, download Odin, get all the drivers needed on the computer and just be ready in case the phone does get bricked. Takes less than 10 minutes to unbrick a phone when everything is in place
