Been having an issue DLing the Electrify SBF from UsCellular blogsite. I tried IE, Firefox, & Chrome. All keep giving me short DLs. Most I received was like 312 of the 522 mb. Really making me want to bang my head against the wall! Anyone know of another place to get it maybe?!?!
If anyone has the sbf they could send me maybe I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried using all browsers I have at my disposal and continue to only get maybe 50ish% or so on each. Very strange, usually dl no problem... Maybe corrupt?!?!
I am trying to upload it, but it's a little big for my internet provider speed, I don't know if it will pass through.

peetr, you r the man! I have been having issues with it since yesterday... I have literally tried every browser I know of, and none have gotten me past 50% Mind boggling! And to make matters worse, it seems now have a HHD error on my PC, and if I dont back it up soon... its doomed. Maybe I will add secondary hdd, copy all files to it and make it my new... I know off topic, Sorry.
I think I figured out my problem with the DL. It seems that when the dl is coming through, I get the windows found an error with you're hdd. Please back up now before the hdd fails and you loose all information. I guess I need to go use mom dukes PC to work this issue out. Thanks peetr for trying to help me out. Your good guy to have on my team!

Unfortunately the search function on XDA isn't the easiest to use nor very helpful. I think it's cool though thejondude is offering his help.
At least through the app, the search is way too general and overall pretty crappy. Its frustrating to use for a new user like myself.

Thanks!
P.S. after I get it on can you tell me how to locate fried chicken restaurants near me using the GPS?

Thank you for this thread! I am rooted and have tried several roms and radios. My question is this: Is the check for updates function in phone settings a reliable way to determine if your phone is capable of receiving OTA updates? I noticed when I was on a leaked radio it would tell me that the update service was unavailable and to check back. When I returned to the stock radio it said there were no updates available. Tia!
P.S. I am currently on the stock rom and radio. I am aware that any official OTA updates may wipe my root and my ability to reroot.

In the past, if you did not have all of the bloatware, etc. that came on the phone (i.e. if you were not completely stock) you would have issues getting the OTA. Since you are back to stock, you should not have any issues, but I wouldn't necessarily say that "check for updates" is the best way to determine that. If you are completely stock, you will get the OTA, but I wouldn't say that check for updates is all that reliable if you have changed something.

I am completely stock with the exception of root at the moment. Just curious if I will be able to deny OTA updates or they will automatically update my phone. With the OG Droid I was asked if I wanted to update or not. I don't want to lose root with no going back. Thanks.
I would assume so (that you can deny). I jumped on the Droid train a bit later but have always been asked (when I was all stock) to update.

Since the last official OTA was 198_6, you should probably use that in case you get a savy tech.

Hello all!
Long time reader here.
I've been looking for answers to this for several hours now and haven't been able to find anything that works.
I bought my Photon new about 2 months ago. Immediatly I rooted and unlocked it, with the thought that I was going to play around with custom ROMs as I did on my Epic 4g.
Anyway, this evening I decided to go ahead and put a new ROM on. I did the usuals, delvak, formats, etc.. I started with Joker's Skinny rev1. Install went great, but I was unable to use wifi. I couldnt even turn it on. It just says "Error" on the wifi settings menu. So I did some research and I found out that this is a common problem and simply needed a dhd.ko file to be replaced. So I did via 7zip and reflashed. Still no wifi. I then tried to give ACS's ROM a try, and same thing. So again, I replaced the dhd.ko file and reflashed. Still no glory. I also went ahead and re-unlocked the bootloader again just in case(read a few issues of that messing with wifi).
So needless to say, I can't figure out how to get my wifi back. I'm at a complete loss. Does anyone have any ideas? Also, if it matters, I live state-side. I don't have anything frozen either. Just a freshly installed ACS ROM.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

Scripts have nothing to do with your camera. It simply changes a few things to make it faster. Great for stock rooted roms

Why is the rom you pointed me to so heavy?! I think it said 427MB. Biggest ive ever seen!
Any ideas on what is causing the wifi issue?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
The radios are sensitive. The wifi driver must be compiled to the kernel you are using. In skinny unlocked it is. Skinny complete is the newest and has an awesome web top modification. Uncompressed its 2 gigs.

well if you look, you will see that i am unable to fix my dna, i can boot to fastboot and into cwm recovery, but unable to restore my backup. cant wipe anything, i really have no clue. im planning on reporting this phone lost/stolen so it will have a bad esn. and i want to give this phone to a developer that would like to tinker with it, heck the right developer might be able to restore it back to normal. at this point i am still trying to restore it myself, but within the next few hours if i cant fix it, then i would like to know if any developers in here would like to take it. i know itll have a bad esn, but i see it as a test dummy to test roms on. kinda like my way of saying thanks to the developers for providing their hours of hard work to get great features and roms to us users.

Try to fix it but if you can't give it to a dev that can tinker with it and find a new s-off method for 2.04

Backing up LS now and downloading now. I am still kind of new doing this stuff, but I will give it go.
My quick run down....... Boots quick. Runs very quick. Just a quick play through...
I am on Straight Talk, with the proper APN's I could not get data connection. In Status, it says disconnected.. That might be me not really knowing a whole lot or work arounds, but APN is correct. I could not get the "Nitro Settings" in Settings, Advanced, to show as usable toggles, they just stay dim. Except "SDCARD, that works. The browser FC's instantly. Home button doesn't do anything. SMS, MMS, work on wifi. I had to change from transparent status bar to black/gray to see the status bar.
I cant get the screen to lock, even trying Pin. This rom seems awesome and sliding from Left to Right from home screen has some cool features.
Just to reiterate, by no means am I complaining, just trying to help out. I dont have half the knowledge to build these things and I do appreciate all the work you guys do for hundreds of people you will never meet. Thank you again and have a great weekend. I am going back to LS for now, but would love to try this again soon.

I'll have to take a look at that rom. I'm with capt in temp. confusion. I was about to say our mega isn't bootloader unlocked. lol..... And I am blonde- I have an excuse!! Will dig out the old Note and see what I can do.
As far as getting data flowing, you need to take into account not just the apn, but the modem you are on and the android version you are on too.
It's been a while GT since I played with modems on this Note. Since I went back to Att, I switched back to one of the original Att modems. I am on one of the new kitkat roms I think.
It's based on ICS, 4.1.2 so the new lte modems that came out the last year or so may not work well. Att's original modem when this phone was released had lte working, at least for the pseudo lte. If you are running on ST with Att that might work better. If ST is on tmobile sim, you might have to install a modem made for t-mobile/adapted for the att Note.
You. .

you have forgotten more about modems than most people can learn
Not sure if this helps any, and I should of included it, since you mentioned modem. It was UCMD3 and I used TWRP 2.6.1.0. I chose that recovery because it is what I used on the other 4.1.2 Roms.
Again, sorry for all the negative feedback. I felt awful reporting it. I have spent the last day wondering I'd I was going to get blasted or not. Being kind of..... Not knowledgeable in this field... I was apprehensive to report anything. Hopefully its a stupid mistake I made. Thank you all for your time and patience you take putting these together for the masses.
