[Q] Photon ICS or JB issues - Motorola Photon 4G

my photon4G is in 2.3.5 .. I've tried to upgrade 4.0 or 4.1 unofficially but after installing my IMEI number , serial number and network related things are all showing "unknown"... I have unlocked my bootlader also then Y it's not supporting in my device I don't know?
Don't know what to do with this Issue........... So i reverted 2.3.5 in my photon.. Can someone help me out of this problem ?

Try this:
Copy libmoto_ril.so from /system/lib from your stock rom to your sdcard. Flash cm10 and overwrite this file to the same location and reboot.

Hi can you please tell this method is really fix my problem ?... Because i have tried many installation's with CM9,CM10 and AOKP ,etc,..
If you confirm this really i'll be work on it... And lot's of thanks to you....
OR else this would be my Last try for CM's installations.....

Why don't you give it a try?

They show unknown because the radio is borked or off. Try with Bluetooth or wifi on and off and you'll see that the mac address and bt address will show that it's unknown

How do you have an unlocked bootloader while on 2.3.5?

Photons with shipped 2.3.5 is unlockable. My electrify was on 2.3.5 too, i unlocked the bootloader without any issues.

You may take a look at the file GSX_fix.zip on http://goo.im/devs/Th3Bill/CM10/Photon and compare it with whats on your phone now. Its from the CM10 Jokersax and Th3Bill Rom at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787743
I don't know what rom you're using so DO NOT FLASH OR USE this file. Just use for comparison
Just look inside the zip and see what changes it makes. Then maybe you can get more information

I compared both....but I need some additional details..what are all the fields I need to compare? And can I change any fields?

[Q] A few Questions

Hello,
I have p500(indian) on old baseband and want to upgrade to new bb using lgmdp.. following are a few questions that i dint find an answer to.
1.what is the risk of having a bricked device if i turn off lg virtual modem..?
2. th lg virtual modem is shown as lge android platform usb modem.. is it the same..?
3. What rom and recovery should i be on to flash new baseband?
4. can i flash cm9 first and then new baseband?
5.my recovery takes around 5 seconds to show the options... it wasnt like this before.. is this normal? im on the recovery i firrst installed(amonra 1.2 the one with bad boot message)
6.before flashing a recovery zip or cwm from rom manger what precautions should i take?
7.In rom manager if i say install recovery.. it shows p500 and p500(oldbb) so if i flash old bb now and then upgrade.. will it work?
8. if flash the one without (oldbb) will my phone get bricked..?
Thanks for your answers in advance.. p500 was the best phone i got in my life.. and its not because of lg.. its because of its awesome community.!
> when i was on stock as you
> 1st I rooted ,this is A MUST 1st to do
> 2nd flash clockworkmod or amonra.. but cwm would be good for starters, just download rom manager at play store.. and u'll get it
> 3rd since ur on old baseband.. i suggest you flash cm7 rom or the on i modded then flash the old baseband fix so you dont need to upgrade
> incase you want to upgrade so u can also use cm9
> now is the time to use lgmdp .. Em not sure.. but i think its different ..virtual modem wasnt there when i switched baseband so i did not disabled any..
i think it good
Can anyone answer please..? cant find answers to these questions.. and neko man i think you misunderstood my question.. it partly answered one that is lg virtula modem maybe does not play an important part.. ppl please answer..
!
Well there are many tutorials out there on how to get new bb. Just follow them step by step. You have to flash it first then you can get CM9. Forgive me but some of your question sound like this "Will my phone work if I submerge half of it in water?". Don't worry just do as you're told on the tutorials All the best!

There is definitely a risk, and you have to follow the instructions clearly to avoid any risks. To be honest here, I bricked my phone thrice (yes! 3 times) using kdz updater. That's why I'd suggest that you don't upgrade to new bb using kdz updater

The only and most secure thing i have to prefer u to flash official froyo 2.2.2 on ur phone first... if u already using it then its ok... n if not then search a official froyo rom in zip format for flashing it via cwm recovery... after then... use lg pc suite for upgrading it to official 2.3.3 n ur phone will automatically updated to new bb too.
EDIT: Just clarify me what rom n recovery are u using...!?? What android version and baseband shows on ur phone....

Hi all,
Currently I have 2.3.5 in my photon and now I've installed custom CM9 ROM....after installing that the phone works fine and the performance also good but the actual problem I faced is it showing error in mobile networks and IMEI number and any other system related info is displayed as "unknown". And I've tried *#*#4636#*#* to update gsm.... but that also showing "unknown" .i don't know what to do.... I tried CM10 also but the same result.....and also I tried older version 2.3.4 ..in that also same problem...some body please help me out of this problem....pls
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
why dont you try miui rom based on jokersax cm9 the aroma edition also has options to choose the network also,
i had tried that rom but that also has issues related to data i gets disconnected after a while.
do a clean install wipe system data cache and then factory reset and then wipe dalvik cache and then try installing this rom
Tried that also its also having the same exact problem.... other than 2.3.5 os all others having same issue...there's is a solution for this but I don't know that...

you should always have a backup on your computer... you'll need to flash a system image through fastboot or something to get it to work since there's no SBF for 2.3.5
