Hello, this is my first post, so please excuse any stupid questions. I've looked and I don't see anything covering my situation.
I've been playing with my personal Nexus S4g since I've had it, and have never had issues with it, sans having to unbrick it once.
However, my wife's Photon 4g is another story. When I first got her the phone I rooted it and put on the bootstrap recovery. I made nandroid backups before every OTA update with it. As with many others I got the 2.3.5 OTA that permalocked my bootloader, which was cool, because I didn't want her to lose wimax, and was waiting for ics anyway. When the ics update was canceled, I figured I'd do a nandroid recovery back to 2.3.4 so I could unlock it and put on a better rom, since 4g isn't much better than 3g in Dallas for Sprint and both are crap (plus the reception on the Photon is amazing compared to the crappy antenna on my Nexus S4g).
Anyway, the recovery was without incident, but I lost the radios. There's no 3g, 4g, or wifi. I read on one of Peetr's threads that each baseband file was specific to each kernel, so I'm assuming that the recovery left the 2.3.5 baseband file intact; hence the incompatibility. I used the RSDLite tool to upload the last 2.3.4 SBF file, which failed (although I think they all say they fail).
Then I downloaded the radio sbf for 198_7, and the 198_7 lib.moto_rl.so files to see if I can put in the radios from the recovery. It's my understanding that I first have to flash the lib.moto file using the bootstrap recovery, then use the RSDLite tool to flash the radio sbf file.
Is this correct? Or, do I also need to put in a custom kernel?
BTW, the easiest way to unbrick, or fix a phone after the 2.3.5 OTA is to just take it to a Sprint store and they can flash that OTA update on it. I've seen other posts that deal with the issue, but that's what I'll have to do if nothing works.
My system is currently:
Sys Version: 45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US
Version: 2.3.4
Baseband: Unknown
Kernel: [email protected] #2
Build# 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6
ERI: UNKNOWN
PRL: UNKNOWN
I called Sprint, and they reset my connection, but without a working radio I can't update the PRL or ERI.
Thanks,
Rick

You can't unlock when you take the ota. Even if you use the bootstrap to recover, it will not overwrite your bootloader to its previous state. Chances are you need 254_12 ril/libs for the radio to work. The ota blocks sbfing to stock baseband because of the signature check that the bootloader requires.
Instead of 198_7 try flashing 254_12 files via bootstrap.

That's what I was afraid of. I had already downloaded those other files, just in case, but I didn't flash them because I didn't want to ruin the outside chance I might have been able to pull this off after all. I flashed the 254_12 files and baseband file sbf via RDC, and my signal came right back. Still no wifi, but I'm sure it'll come after I reaccept the OTA update.
Thanks a lot for you input. I appreciate it. This bootloader issue really pisses me off, since this phone is more capable than most of the one out there today.
Cheers,
Rick

I've seen a lot of post that say you'll brick if you flash gb with the ICS RUU and I haven't heard of a way to down grade you hboot or your mainversion yet so I wouldnt try it unless ya feel brave lol
sent from my rezound
Rom: BAMF ICS v1.1

All though it's never a hard brick you can recover as long as you do it right but I don't think you can recover with the old firmware you still have to use the upgrade if you flashed the leak to use a ICS roms
sent from my rezound
Rom: BAMF ICS v1.1

I have reverted from clean ROM 4.0 to my nandroid GB back up with no problems.
What you do lose from going from ICS to GB is the internal sdcard mount.
I hear they use two different systems so you wont be able to view your sd card going back to GB.
There is a flash going around in the forums to get you back the sd card mount.
and FYI, as far as I know you can't fully downgrade the radio if you updated to the latest leaked radio.
no i dont have a brick i just need my phone to look like stock so i can trade it for another
and when i played gta 3 and went home this is wat i got:

there should be a stock GB rom floating around the forums.
you will need to get some recovery software like amonra.
Don't forget to update the kernel when you revert back.
ye i have a recovery, and i think i can find a gb rom, but i thought the kernel comes with the roms?
can i just wipe and flash this?

I think it should come with the rom. You just need to flash it after the rom installs.
Flash one of the stock roms and kernels and then relock through fastboot, I doubt they will check the bootloader but just to be safe

i can flash that throught the recovery right?
or maybe the rooted one?:http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=38
i can only flash ruu thru fastboot right? so if i want to install thru the recovery i have to use the rooted version
Now its not ripping so much, freaking weird

First..regardless of what you do you have to hope the verizon rep is not smart enough to boot into bootloader before exchanging as it already says unlocked...and depending on what you have done...it could say tampered as well. At best when you reflash and relock it will say "re-locked" not locked.
But to pass most reps you need stock..
so yes you need to flash stock RUU...but if you have flashed a kernel or rom your your mainver has likely been reset.
So first you need this to reset your mainver...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1526316
Then flash the RUU from here
http://www.filefactory.com/f/c2e320ee1d5c7886/
You are wasting your time.. rooting and romming does not prevent exchanges. Big post in general about it too.
They check for 3 things
1, Was the shipping box damaged?
2, Is the phone physically damaged (broken screen , etc)
3, does the phone power on.
That is all that is verified, the Customer serive rep on the phone is the person responsible for verifying you have a valid exchange reason. If they authorize a replacement.. then you have nothing to worry about.
I have returned 2 rezounds for screen problems , one had ics, and one was.rooted gb.
*edit*
Never take a phone to a store, just call 611 and talk to a CS rep. Stores have their own agenda, the reps on the phone are directed to, in most cases, send you a replacement (almost) no questions asked.

further,you cannot downgrade back to 2.01.605.11 if you have flashed the leak RUU.
you cannot downgrade the hboot and radio,period. you cannot flash a gingerbread rom with ICS firmware,period. it wont brick,but your sd card will disapear
if you ran the leaked RUU,best thing you can hope for is relocked after relocking and re-running that RUU. but as was mentioned,it may say tampered as well.
I was in the same boat. I got my replacement phone few days ago. Sent out the broken one (3G radio doesn't work) with the ICS leak on it.
You can not RUU back to previous versions. Don't waste your time. I reflashed the ICS PH98IMG so that it at least doesn't say "Security Warning" or "Tampered".

THIS WILL PERMANENTLY LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!
ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED THIS!
AND NOONE TOUCH THIS, AFTER 2.3.6 OR ICS UPDATE!
If you want to know why, read here.
Anyone after succesfull 2.3.5 ota update or after flashing 2.3.5 USC_19 sbf - these links are for you.
But I am not responsible for any damage, you are not forced to flash these.
Don´t flash anything from here, if you do not know well, what are you doing.
Radios:
198_7 radio sbf ----- 198_7 libmoto_ril.so (or older) needed, flashable with bootstrap recovery:thumbdown:
Others:
2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf with sv2 bootloader and microboot from USC_19 sbf -
- mostly for unbrick of your device, after failed to boot bricks - 254_13 modules needed, flashable with bootstrap recovery
Full:
There is only one - 2.3.5_USC_19 sbf - but it is for Electrify. After flashing this, you need to flash locked custom rom, "2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image" and some sv2 sbf radio, for working Sprint services, including 4G.
Do not try to flash any of those Sprint 2.3.5 full sbf files, they are not signed and your device will not accept them.
Thank "swuln" for 254_13 dump from his Photon.

I was at 2.3.5 Ota. Stuck on locked. I flashed the electrify and and was on uscc 2.3.5 .
still locked. I then proceeded to flash sv2 after it booted. Then I rooted, installed bootstrap and install peetr's 2.3.5 . I did not install a sprint radio, nor the lib. Nor did I install the modules. I am now working on att. 3G, as I write from my phone not on Wi-Fi. My bootloader is still locked. I can't install sbfs. Nor recovery. However att 3g works. Sim is working. I am in the us. Sj, ca.

The radio was not reflashed after USC_19 full sbf. So the radio must have been there before. How have you got it there? I would like to know too.
If someone can fix bootstrap to flash the KDDI radio I do not think there are any security measures that are stopping us(just buggy bootstrap). Alternatively if someone can get a hold of a Japanese SBF we could also use that to unlock people stuck on 2.3.5(latest KDDI rom should be sv2).

it was stuck on sprint and still has a locked bootloader. after flashing usc 19, the modem was unlocked. i have no idea. and no the radio was definitely the sprint radio prior to this flash.

Yep!! Just did it, same steps the OP did, took a couple reboots afterwards for the baseband to go from "Unknown" to 'N_02.29.04P"
On a locked Photon 4G, been locked for quite a while (SOB's!!):
Flashed the full sbf: 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US.sbf
Flashed the unbrick: 2.3.5_45.4.13ota_unbrick.sbf
Rooted with Photon Torpedo
Installed the MOTODX2 bootstrap
Installed Peetr's rom: HybridGBv20locked.zip (Was bootlooping, had to do a factory reset after this part)
Took two reboots before it showed up as the Japanese radio, and if it matters, in between the first and second reboot, I tried to install the KDDI zip from bootstrap twice, both failed. After that reboot, baseband ver went from unknown to N_02.29.04P.
Just need to get home from deployment and use it, just ported my number from Sprint to Google voice, gonna give the prepaids a shot when I get home, if it works, awesome, if not, Nexus 4 here I come.
Just to expand on this, I bootstrap installed the Slim Photon build by mof9336 because I like the power toggles a little better, but the baseband showed up as unknown again, tried 3 reboots, still unknown. Reinstalled peetr's HybridGB, did a factory reset after, and it's back to showing up as the N_02.29.04P radio, something about that rom I guess, I may try the other locked builds to see if any others work.
Can anyone else verify that this method to install the kidi radio works on their device? And does this method imply that kidi radio and possibly others exists and lays dormant in stock mophos? Developers, what do you think?

Kernel 3.0.16---I hope this is all you guys need to help me diagnose this issue.
Anyway, I have a long day of flying ahead of me and it would really suck to have no phone. I have S- on and ClockworkMod.
A buddy of mine had previously rooted my Rezound and put (I believe Scott's rom) on it. I tried the Venom rom, bam, no radio. Switched to the Vigor Stock Deodex rom and same issue. No radio.
This seems like a quick fix, what do I need? All of the threads on radios say S-Off only.
Thanks guys.

To flash a radio, yes you need S-OFF.
It's better to use Amon-Ra recovery since ClockworkMod has given users a hard time.
If you have S-ON then the last radio flashed was with the last PH98IMG that was loaded onto the phone. So technically it's a rom issue.
Are you trying to flash an ICS ROM over a gingerbread radio? That could be your problem

I actually have a 4g signal now, I didn't do anything but reboot the phone again.
Now, I just realized that the phone will not read the SD card, nor will it handle phone calls - when a call comes in it will reboot, when making a call it will reboot.
I also believe that the radio is an ICS one. Any way to double check?
Are you saying I should S-Off now? Or is there a short time fix of something I can flash now? (will be at the airport soon and won't be able to flash anything)
Baseband is 0.95.00.118r, 0.95.00.1223r

Another question, can I S-OFF without ADB?

How can I revert back to stock? I have the leaked ICS rom already downloaded 3.14.605
okay well verizon is sending me a certified replacement rezound for my thunderbolt tomorrow (or this morning whatever), and i am wanting to root it and flash newts sense 4 rom (or any sense 4 rom, suggestions?), but im finding it to be a whole lot more complicated than the root/s-off for both my thunderbolt and dinc2. Everywhere I look theres a different method and none of them seem to be as simple as im used to with the rooting of multiple replacements of my other phones. I'm wondering which method is the best to us, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504824, which is the all in one tool, or http://androidforums.com/rezound-al...ys-noob-friendly-root-guide-start-finish.html, which is a manual method. Also, i may be seeing this wrong but neither of these give s off so should i use http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-public-beta-0-1/ which is a beta s off for the rezound. any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Also, a question with flashing, is it the same process as the tbolt and dinc2, because in newts dl it has a bootimg to flash and i have seen where other people who say to flash another zip that is old firmware patch, and i never had to do anything with either or those on my old phones.
Basically i just want to be able to flash ROMs so yeah the best way would be great to know. Thanks in advance and sorry for citing a different site than xda
Basically First of all you have to go to HTC Dev and unlock your bootloader and install amon-ra recovery. Flash a SuperSu or SuperUser .zip via recovery to gain root on the stock rom. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled and you can attempt S-OFF.
S-OFF is not complicated at all just time consuming because of the wire trick which has to be timed just right. Once you have gained S-OFF flash one of the ICS radios ... I posted the last two new ones in the radio thread (under the development section). Once you have updated your radio go into recovery and flash which ever sense 4 rom you like. Then if your sdcard/internal are being recognized you flash either oldfirmware or gb fix to change the mount points.
All the files you need to download are
ADB
HTC Sync Drivers
unlock token from HTC
Amon-RA
Su flashable zip (Superuser/SuperSU)
JuntoBear zip
Radios
ROM
SDCard Fix if you have those issues (old firmware or GB fix)
Since the OTA ICS firmware 3.14.605.12 10RD is on my phone, i wont need to flash any ICS radios correct? and also the JuntoBear has a file for the (3.14.605.5 ICS Leak) but not the official update, should i use it anyway?

man i feel like a newbie when i ask these questions
I'm on this forum all the time and read other issues.and waiting for the newest rom to hit and when your rooted you feel great knowing this is your phone and not Verizon's.
but know that i broke the screen, i got the new phone and its all rooted and got my rom on it and everything
just the phone i have to return is just jacked and i dont want to get hit with the 150$ non-return fee because its S-on and unlocked and not even a stock rom

when i try to unroot i get the error from the all in one that the caralina is not there and it exits
so i cant root that way
is there is a way to root from the recovery/clockworkmod or from the 4.0.3 leaked ICS
how would i kick this back to the Ext3 from the ext 4
thanks for the all the replys

Try flashing a stock ruu and an older radio if you're using the leaked radios. The tool can't unroot the ics leak with the leaked radios. I would just download the stock ruu and fast boot flash it. Then try unrooting.

That's what I was saying, but he's on the 2.11.605.9 radios... and I couldn't find the 2.11.605.9 RUU anywhere.
Would he have to s-off and install the 605.19 radios and then flash the 605.19 RUU?

He would have to be s off to flash the other radio. Upgrading to a higher version should work s on. You can't downgrade without s off.

I know i looked for the RUU for about 2 hours last night. every link i tried was down.
is there only one RUU i can use? with the radio im stuck on.
not sure what the fast boot will do for me if the Rom or RUUs are not sticking to the phone after i try to update them
if that makes any sense....im not even sure i understand lol
So what files should i flash to in order to go up to a level that matches to a ROM
This way i can re-root, or do i need to just keep onlooking till i find a .9 RUU to match my radio
so i'm not rooted now because i have S-on. right?
but how do i have clockworkMod installed and can get load a leaked 4.0.3 to load?
All i really want to do is stock this and S-on so can return it lol

Use the all in one tool again to root and obtain s-off, and then go back 13 posts to where I posted the RUU for 2.11.605.19 and the link to the 2.11.605.19 radios.
Once you are s-off after using the all in one rooting tool, flash the radios. Once you flash the radios, flash the RUU and run the tool again to unroot.

Press (almost) any key to exit.
Try using the All in one tool and get the following error message
i looked it up and it don't like something inside ICS
i know i just cant win
any other ways to root
i tried to reinstall SU and got it to say installed
but S on still and no root when needed in apps
If you're running an ICS ROM, you'll need to drop down to another ROM based off of the 2.11.605.19 software.

I have tried a few different roms all 2.3.2 or 2.3.5 and the ROM completes but when i restart the phone for the new rom to load
it just drops me back to the clockwork-mod screen. the only one that gets past that screen is ICS
not sure what I'm doing that messing it up. i have loaded about 15 roms in the past and all have loaded......damn the S-on lol
Its like it remembers that i had that on the phone so its ok to have ICS but when i go to any other its like it just does not work
