Hello,
Kindly upload the titanium backup of all apps of build 4.5.1A-1-1-sun-254-13?

You can extract them from the stock firmware zip.

Well, I clearly mentioned to do that.
If factory reset via standard recovery dont help, the only way for you is to flash 2.3.5 electrify image via RSD lite http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837775
If you want Sprint services, follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145

No, there's no image for the Photon 2.3.5
The only thing you can flash is Electrify 2.3.5 image. If you are using it on GSM network, and not on Sprint, you wont notice any difference exept of some other wallpapers and missing 4G menu in settings.

Is there a way to enter bootstrap recovery without booting the phone up first?
I may be wrong, but i think you cant.
I I want to confirm if it's fine to flash it with electrify image even if it's 2.3.5.? I'm re confirming because I don't want to brick my phone.
Yes, it's totally ok.
tried flashing using rsd lite with electrify image. flashing failed, error was "failed flashing process.interface bp:error sending jump command device api error"
not booting in
It booted up.
@ maxon_yalta--- thanks a lot.!! it helped. God bless

I just downloaded the update and it's installing. My phone is displaying an exclamation point with an android next to it and has been for some minutes. Is it suppose to take a long time?
I didn't time it but approximately 15 minutes including download. I noticed it rebooted twice.
Well then my phone got screwed because it's still frozen with the exclamation point. =S What to do now!?
pop the battery out of it.. and it should boot fine..
If you did the webtop mod undo it before doing the update...
i had the same problem but i decided to wait and then it went in to recovery mode... in recovery mode it was trying to install update but for me it says the installation aborted.. i dont know wht to do....
I had to defrost all of my frozen apps to get past that and update. The exclamation screen means the install failed because you need to undo any mods or freezes.

As a last resort, you can always SBF flash back to retail 1.2.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
Then aRoot your phone and follow this thread so you can keep your root after the update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013931
SBF Flash back is most definitly the last thing on my list..so i'm going through /system/app and noticed that DockProvider.apk, PortalApp.apk & DockService.apk are the only ones missing the .odex files..i'm pretty sure this is where the problem is.
-----EDIT-----
FOUND THE SOLUTION!!..i hope..downloading DG's retail dump now..originals including .odex files should be in there. . . . Worked like a charm. Attached the files needed enjoy!

What would save alot of people from running into this situation would be to make a copy of your /system files with ADB before making any changes, that way, you will have your original files to push back onto the phone if anything goes wrong or in this case, need the original files back to do an update and avoid the whole SBF to retail step...
Glad it worked out for you

Mine has no contents, and I believe that is why I can't update. I really don't know how it got erased, but it seems like I will never be able to fix it if no one else is having this issue it won't be a major concern for developers to work on a fix. I really don't want to take it too Sprint >< I'm not paying for insurance either.
thanks for replies. I know now that something is wrong with my phone .
Have you tried using RSD to apply the 198_7 SBF? Not flashing a 198 based rom, but applying the SBF

As far as erasing the PDS partition goes, formatting the internal sd through CWM caused it for me.

I've SBF'ed to 198_7 and 198_6, but I never checked with root browser to see if the pds partition is empty but I STILL could not update profile/prl, and it's 100% that it gets stuck on "Contacting Network" so i have to use the No BP-Airplane mode workaround. I have flashed ROM's right after the SBF's, for instance, ROCKO/Imperium show empty PDS partitions, after a SBF to 198_7

No . I had to replace my phone once because of that. The second time I had been fortunate enough to advance restore the PDS through CWM and fix it like that out of trial and error. I was looking into finding the file that affects the updates but havent found anything conclusive. Edit: (...Yet.)
Well unfortunately PDS contains personal information otherwise I'd offer to zip and post ut for you.
Good luck!

Let me know if you find out, I would really like to get my pds fixed.
Hmm, would Sprint replace my phone for cheap, off insurance, and if so, how would I go about asking them to replace it? An erased PDS partition is kind of suspicious..
What other issues could an erased PDS partition cause, besides not being able to contact network for updates.

Were you on insurances?
What other issues were you having with the phone, because of the pds?
Stay online ... will have something for you to try in 1 minute.
EDIT - Try
1) Create a folder in PDS named "omadm"
2) Set permission of folder rwxrwx--
3) Download attached zip and place contents from zip into "omadm"
4) All files inside "omadm" should be set to rw-----
5) Reboot

I thought about that except one of the files had an md5 sum that generated so i was unsure if it would work.
i modified some files and now my prime wont boot up. it satys on the asus loading screen. i am on locked bootloader rooted .14. how do i replace the files with adb? i made a copy of the files i made and renamed them wit .bak at the end. i tried holding power+vol down and then vol down and got an android with a red triangle. i then tried adb shell from the command prompt but it said device not found. can some one help? thanks.
no one? i guess ill just go to asus for help.
newvet said:
I had been fighting with the same exact problem for the past 2 days!
I just fixed it by downloading the .21 firmware from Asus and renaming the extracted file EP201_SDUPDATE.zip. Manual update method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1570696&page=13 post 128.
I am now up and running and if I can get adb going again I will do the downgrade and root. I probably will not mess with the build.prop for a while. Good Luck

Give this a try. Worked for us
did this delete your camera pics and videos? i did that last time and i lost my pics. but it was probably because i had done a factory reset before i tried this thinking that would fix it. but this shouldnt touch those files because its like an update right?
I can`t say 100% because I also did a factory wipe first. But I`m pretty certain it is just a manual update and you should be ok.
thanks alot bro. it worked and my stuff is still there.
Glad it all worked out! Enjoy

I tried this method by renaming the zip from within the extracted file and put in on a microsd card then i rebooted into system recovery and got the android with the red ex, so i rebooted but it goes back to the black screen after the epad logo and never forces the update. Any suggestions?
I purchased a second hand XT910 installed AVG and it informed me my phone is rooted.
Now I know nothing about rooting, nor the benefits/drawbacks, however I'm being given the option to install the downloaded JB update but it keeps failing, I've worked out the reason is because it's rooted, how do I go about installing the update, or unrooting the phone so it will do it itself?
Appreciate any help provided.

Download OTA Rootkeeper in Play Store, you can save the root files, update JB OTA, then restore root for working on JB.

There are some files called sbf... Google your version and download it. Then download the official drivers for your phone from Motorola and last thing you need is rsd lite what is also available on moto's website. You can also google for a tutorial there are many on YouTube...

when the install fails it will state what the error is if its a file it will give the md5 and sha-1 (basically a load of numbers and letters.
if you could put those and the file path someone maybe able to give you the file's you need to get the update to run.
what they mean by sbf files are these http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php these you can flash to your phone with a program RSD lite which when done will put the phone to stock, meaning to its original state and without root. then you can set the phone up how you like and can update to jelly bean.
it all sounds really hard but its not really i did it myself not knowing a thing before.

Hi, it doesn't give any error code, the droid falls over, it restarts the phone, then just says software update failed.
Here is a screenshot of the system info, don't know if it can help you help me?
It won't let me post the image (outside links) until I have 10 posts, so there goes that idea.
I can only get to Downloading Mode and Recovery Mode. Can somebody tell me what I can flash in Odin to get my device just back to fully stock with everything on it so I can just start completely over? I've tried 3 different things and it's just all gone to crap now. I don't know how to use Odin for the most part so I'll need step by step instructions. I'll pay whatever. I need my phone up and running.

you'll have to wait for a .tar file made for our phone
I think you can still recover it to stock by resetting it
get to recovery mode and chose wipe data do that at least 3 times
after that do a restart and it should be fine

I can speak as somebody in the same boat, wipe data doesn't work. I tried changing my dpi, so the build.prop is only modified file and that option does not work.
OP, did you modify something, or remove apps, or what? If you are down an app, get the sys dump from the other thread, pull it apart, and sideload through adb. might work, but adb does not mount system, so it might be an exercise in futility.
So there isn't even a stock rom available? What about flashing one for AT&T?

Unfortunately us I527 users will have to put up with stock ROM with Root until a dev chooses to support us.

Sad part is that none of those are for our device. I just need somebody to get me the stock firmware for our version and hopefully that's all I'll need.
well i see no official stock roms for i527 so maybe look at the few custom ones there are. thats only way to get your system partition restore and the core apps replaced that you removed.
