Sorry if this has been discussed before, searched the forums but couldn't find it. Had data connection problems did a factory reset and it seemed to work. Did a data profile update through settings and got a message that a restart was required. Never had that happen on a profile update. Any idea why?

No, occasionally after update the phone will ask to reboot, I believe that after update it checks the changes and if changes aren't present the phone reboots to enable changes. I've never actually tried to figure it out
Edit: it could also be to clear cache(recently stored temporary files, not cache partition)

Dude when I first started flashing I would do things like delete system and boot out of curiosity and for the pure knowledge of how to fix such issues, I've done everything from forcing every form of boot loop currently known to corrupting my entire file tree thus requiring a repartitioning of the phone. In my guide I will say I haven't come across a few of these situations because those scenarios are assumed to be uncontrolled environments. I.e it has never happened to me in the day to day use of my phone.

hi guys
couple of questions:
i have a XEUK firmware on 2.3.4 at the moment, unbranded, unlocked and rooted and phone notified me that there's an upgrade available:
- will the upgrade work via wireless from the about menu straight away or i need to go via kies?
- apps, contacts, photos and videos are gonna be deleted?
- root, will that stay or i will have to do it again?
- camera, is the white balance improved when using flash with ICS? right now colors act up with the flash, thats a known bug..
that being said, my phone runs great so i am wondering if is worth or not to upgrade, i dont care of having the very very latest release...
for who will answer these few questions, thanks in advance!
Gabrio
1. I believe you do need Kies, I wasn't able to update my phone without it.
2. No, however I strongly recommend you to backup the phone, just in case.
3. You will have to root again.
4. Not sure about this one, sorry.
Honestly, I was extremely disappointed after update because, although everything worked just fine, the phone became a little laggy and I wasn't able to change screen DPI (I bricked my phone twice as well).

No you didnt, unless you fixed it via JTAG.
Screwing up while flashing resulting in rom not booting isnt "bricking" unless you cant enter download mode or recovery.

Thank you. I wish people would stop throwing around the term "brick" so loosely.
Okay, I got a bootloop twice. The point is, it hasn't been very stable for me lately.
That too... Stable means the thing runs without any issues and Ics do run without issues, you fiddled with it than say thing is not stable is also wrong.

yay "bricked" is a wrong description and ics runs without issues.
a correction to "semibricked" would have been enough and ics isn't that great yet. Bit sluggish and very poor battery, even on cm9-aokp-aosp and cn,but the Devs is working hard to solve these "issues".

kernel issues with boot loops = not bricked

Thanks for answers everyone... At this point im not sure i will upgrade now.. I was really curious if they fixed the camer with flash white balance problem...
Anyone on ics up for a test? Just take a pic indoors with flash possibly in the evening or a bit of dark area..not pitch black of course, do colors look strange?.. As of now white balance looks really funny. With a quick photoshop fix looks good.. Agreed is just a phone but doesnt seem as so hard to fix..

Kill him?, stop over-reacting child. Simply correcting his misconception. Also yours.
There is no such thing as "semibricked", Its either bricked or it isnt, simple as that. Screwing up your flash which results in rom not booting as normal is not "bricked" or "semibricked". Its only bricked when it wont boot into rom, download or recovery and only option is hardware recovery like for example when you wipe/corrupt your bootloader.
i forgot to ask one thing... how is the battery with ICS? at the moment my phone does 1 full day with heavy usage and 2 days with moderate/medium usage...

If by revert to 2.17 with all features working (data, calls, 4g) then yeah we've been able to do that, unless you've reverted the VM lockscreen, SystemUI dropdown, and dailer banner, then It's been done.

There are some people with additional issues, though it's difficult to tell if the issues are from trying to fix the banner in various ways or the firmware itself.
That said, some of us need to fix this banner issue. I personally intend to sell this phone very soon in order to fund my Evo 4G LTE. Sell price will obviously be hurt if the thing shows Virgin mobile.
I mean.....It's fairly easy to get back to 2.17 software especially if you are s-off.
The difficulty comes with getting rid of the Virgin Mobile banner and reverting the PRI. Then there's the intermittent 3G issues, and possible Wimax problems as well.

While I would tend to agree normally for things like ROMs and kernels; this is a little different. People are currently replacing their phones over this issue. If he has truly fixed the problem, having this thread before he can get the full guide together and post it up as well as sort out any testing may stave off some of those people from getting rid of their 3d...that said...it probably could have been done in the other thread.

Either he never flashed the firmware with the radio part or he is full of it when it comes to removing the Virgin Banners. I can believe he downgraded to 2.17. I have tested this multiple times. I broke my data once, and successfully recovered it. I am hoping for Unknownforce and Freeza to save the day. I donated my radio partition to Unknownforce which I am sure others have done so too.

I just got my phone and most of the time when receiving a email I'll pull down the menu and it keeps going back up automatically. After trying like 3 times it finally stays down. Does anyone else has this issue?
Not to insult your intelligence or anything but are you pulling the bar all the way down? When I was on GB if I didn't pull it all the way down it'd wonk out on me and shoot back up if I did it too fast.

Yes I pull it all the way down like 3 times then if lucky it will stay down. After reading emails the pull down menu works fine.The work arounds I found is to put my finger at the top of screen and quickly flick downward then it will stay. With my old phone using it's default rom and Cyanogenmod 7, this never happend. The second work around is to use a small app called, One Click Status Bar. Place it on the home screen and when it's tapped the menu drops down.

Your phone must be rooted to have ICS. I'm debating on doing this because I like using CyanogenMod. One of the problems with rooted phones is that the market doesn't recognize the phone and paid apps disappear and it force closes alot.

I flash around a lot usually spending about a couple weeks on different Roms to test and compare features and I can say I never had a problem with Google play ever recognizing any of my paid apps.
The force closes on the other hand do happen, but very rarely if you run a good rom, and don't do anything you're not supposed to

When a phone is rooted the Google server no longer knows what device is being used. You can check this out by logging into Google wallet and look under your device list. You'll also notice that some apps show up for different os like with gingerbread and some don't for ics. After rooting the server doesn't know what apps work with the phone and at times makes some of your paid apps disappear and preventing potential future downloads.

Very true, I apologize. But you must realize that this site EXISTS for the simple idea that we, the members of it(evidently not all of them), do not want our phones stock.
The only support you'll get from a stock ROM, is from the at&t store.
and the "was not" was meant that way. I feel its a stronger form of the word rather than wasn't
This discussion got troublesome and way, way off topic.
But the bottom line is man, if you want to stay stock, there's really nothing we can do, other than advise to wipe data/factory reset via 3e recovery.
What you may have thought you knew about issues that come by rooting your phone, are maybe 1 in a 100, and most likely caused by the person themselves.
There are a few ROM's that are based on at&t "official" leaks. but there rooted.

I think you may be confusing some of your facts. That may hold true for some unbranded chinese tablets running ICS. Those ROMs have to operate as a brand name "something else" just to get market to recognize the device.
The same is not true with our phones. Root away! The issues you're concerned about do not exist on name brand android devices.

Maybe you need to read issues before posting. We have no properly running drivers for ICS or JB. So things like this won't work perfectly soon or possibly even ever. Since Motorola is not updating us we will not be getting these drivers to make these things work properly. Reasons for heating are it being overclocked. So drop it to 1ghz to keep it from heating up.

Hey....the Photon isn't junk. It's a seriously nice piece of hardware. Just because the manufacturer is making douche moves doesn't make the device not worthy of praise.
We'll miss ya on here...I've seen you in my threads for a LONG time. I'll be most likely upgrading in Jan, though I am not sure what to..LOL

I doubt they will release them. I am going to play around with using ones from other Tegra2 devices once I get a chance...just going to take it easy for tonight...I'm a bit tired.

Haha. Yeah. I agree! It's not junk. I'm just upset over it ): I'll still have this phone and continue to help out until it's dead. I'll even keep my site up to help everyone until the end of time. Thanks to you and joker this phone has been amazing!

i) For Opera, the latest version does not work. Try (i know it will work because it has worked for me always) to get version 11 of Opera and i bet it will work.
ii) I use CNA, and it has a reputation over here for its battery life on the Photon. Try that. But, keep in mind, even if u use the stock or CNA and use the phone heavily, it would not work for more than 4 hours. Sure of that. Plus, WiFi is always going to suck on the battery, so if u think any ROM will give u more battery life on WiFi, the answer sadly is No.
iii) We do not have drivers. Th3Bill and Joker have been giving this phone the best and i know it will get better, but issues are always going to be there. For Jitter, try the latest versions of CNA and AOKP and CM10 by Th3Bill, jitters have been reduced by 95% on his builds.
iv) Facelock is a show off feature right? i mean come on....who uses it on a regular basis...but Th3Bill is the man, he would do something for sure....
v)I Play Minecraft on a regular basis, and else than just a little bit of stuttering, there is nothing wrong with the touch response...have even played Riptide and only the Music stuttered.....
vi) I have only noticed the phone heating up when constantly searching for 3G (when one sets WCDMA Only in the *#*#4636*#*# menu) otherwise, it never heats up. Not even when playing any game for long.
I advice u to update the ROMs to the latest from Th3Bill.
Regards

Still,
I'm facing shaking problem while playing games like,. bad piggies, jetpack joyride and granny smith like such games,...
and battery is too worse
And mainly chrome Force closing...
No touch response while playing big games like TinTin,..
And Nova 3 is not supporting CM10 photon. But it is supported in 2.3.5.... ?
I've been sporting Joker's CM10 for a while now, and now that it's gotten some love from th3bill, I'm loving it even more. Battery life is poor, but I've accepted that and carry around a spare battery when I know I'm going to be away from electricity for a few hours. lol
Thanks a bunch th3bill for taking this on, it's greatly appreciated.
I want to upgrade new cm10 build with existing cm10 on my mobile.with out losing data....
Can somebody pleas help me to update with out losing data?

You just wipe dalvik cache, and cache partition, install new zip, fix permissions and reboot. To make sure you don't lose anything do as full backup first so you can go back if something goes wrong.

Hello XDA, long time lurker, first time poster. Thank you for all the info over the years
OK, here's where I'm at, after being without my rezound for several months due to broken screens I finally got off my butt and fixed it. I rooted and flashed the phone a long time ago and reading up again I have no idea what I should be doing in order to get the latest stuff. hboot, radios, etc. To prove how long its been I flashed CleanROM 4.3 using the old/new firmware patch...lol I never even installed the factory OTA ICS.
so my questions are...
Do I relock the phone and flash the Original image and let the update process go as Verizon intended then start from scratch?
Do I bite the bullet and do S-Off to make the update process easier?
I'm pretty rusty with the processes. I appreciate any help pointing me to the correct process to take, I'm just confused since I'm so far behind lol.
Thanks

Personally what i would do, is relock your phone and update to the latest radios for s-on which you can find here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250494&page=4 and its under post 35 then follow the instructions on post 59 of same thread
then load up a amon ra which you can download from post 2 on this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070947
I dont see the need for s-off, i can do everything that i need to do with s-on with that extra layer of security i guess. But some ppl love the s-off, so if you wanna try that, then i say go ahead, it would def make it a billion times easier to update to the latest and greatest
Thanks for the fast reply!
Sounds easy enough reading the links. I think I may have been over complicating it in my head with all the reading I've done the last couple days since fixing my phone back up. Going to give it a go tomorrow morning when I have some free/quiet (no kids!)

Yeah, thats easy to do. Its really not as complicated as it may sound, and maybe 30 mins TOPS of your time if that from start to finish. The longest parts would be the flashing of everything. Good luck with everything
Good to hear I'm really looking forward to trying out some new ROMS. I flashed the current one and never bothered with it again just because I had some issues getting that one to work. Was OK after I applied the old/new firmware patch. Then a couple weeks later the OTA update for ICS was released, did a little bit of reading on that but just ended up deciding not to mess around lol. Now my wife's Rezound is behaving better than mine since she left hers stock and I'm jealous lol.
Looks like I have to sign into HTCdev again to get an unlock token since I lost all my login info lol. Gonna have to set up all the ADB stuff too since I lost the WIndows VM I originally unlocked it with lol.
thanks for the warm welcome to xda, nice "Don't be a n00b video" too btw

yea, there has been alot of dev for the rezzy now. a bunch of JB roms and other great stuff, Neo, Shrike, Chad and others but not sure off hand have all done amazing work and worked hard getting us JB AOSP roms and stuff. My phone has never run better.
Welcome to the forums btw
I will admit I was surprised to see so much new dev after coming back. when I first started messing with my rezzy I was kinda sad about the lack of ROMS and kernels available, I didn't even see a CM ROM out for it. Most likely due to coming from an original droid that had dozens of options lol. But I'm stoked to see all the new stuff. I wanna say I read here somewhere that the dev kinda stalled out while waiting for HTC to leak/update to ICS. Prolly gonna jump right into JellyBean once I'm where I need to be, the link to the Infection ROM looks smexxy!

Totally agree...was frustrated when I first got mine for lack of support but I also got it right when we were waiting for the ril so ICS was at a hault. It seems since the ril was hacked, created what ever they did it just kinda blew up ICS all over now jb def no lack if support

In case it helps, I attached my "android flashing" folder with what you need for using fastboot/ADB.

thanks, I just saw this after reflashing amon ra. I've gotten it all flashed and everything, but after a few seconds of the clean rom boot animation its locking up and Im pulling the battery. :/
I dont need to reflash the Old Firmware Patch.zip anymore since completing the updates correct?
I had planned on a news ROM anyways, should I just flash the new ROM?
THANKS for all the help so far
also eansrvi
success! had a few issues flashing the ROM, surely user error with the proper sequence but I got it running the jb ROM that clmowers linked to.
only set a bit of it up but man Im glad I updated lol, SOOO much better. Now just to hope the battery life is better.

Well, after no issues throughout the day I finally got bit! Phone was having horrible battery life, me thinking since the phones been sitting for a few months I would do full charge, boot into recovery and wipe the battery stats and see how it goes. Well after the wipe and reboot Im getting the horrid boot loop haven't changed anything since the first initial boot after flashing the ROM, other than deleting the images I flashed the ROM with from the sd card. I'm not sure how it could have got borked.
any ideas?
Your on infection 2.5 correct?

OK it seems to be hit n miss on this ROM some people are reporting great luck and then the others are reporting boot loops. I myself haven't had n issue with boot looping. When some people have done was this.
First was to reflash 2.5
Some have also tries the boot.IMG from 2.4 it seems that it has fix it for some and not others. If it hasn't fixed the problem people are jumping back to 2.4. Worse case I have a clean backup from a fresh install. I could upload that to my db and send you a link. You could try flashing that as well.

Correct, I flashed the 2.5. no worries on the db upload, I'm at work and cant mess around with it. Ill try the 2.4 boot.IMG when I get back to the house. Guess I should have tried a reboot after the initial setup lol.
Understandable. Were not totally sure why its only effect certain ppl. If it was ROM related it would seem like it word effect everyone. Try that n let me know if I don't respond shoot me a pm. I get those notification faster then the forum ones for some reason

Yes, flashed the latest global radios. Confirmed by looking at the wifes stock phone lol. Quick question, where is the DL link to the 2.4 IMG? only seeing the 2.5 over at http://androidrevolutions.com/neo/files/ gonna try and move the boot.IMG to the sd card from the work PC, may or may not work since they have them locked down pretty tight but I'm gonna at least try.
http://d-h.st/zCJ
That's 2.4

So yours looks like this? Just trying to see if I can narrow down the boot loop issue
