Accidently placed photon on USA band. - Motorola Photon 4G

Can't get back to pcs, this was done through *#*#4636#*#*. Any advice on getting my phone connected back to cdma for sprint? Phone is completely stock.

Try running QPST... i think there is an option to select radio band...

Is there a 2.3.5 sbf I can flash? I know 2.3.5 is a pain and I do not want to brick it more than it already is. Thinks for the tip on QPST I will take a look at it when I get home.

I did that once and had to sbf back to stock 198_7. I am not sure since you are on 2.3.5. Have you tried a factory restore from the bootloader menu?

[Q] Att SBF

What is the most current and up-to-date ATT SBF to load. 1.83? I am on 1.57 and want to upgrade to the most current of GreyBlur. Do I have to really re-root my phone and stuff do I? Thanks again.

I would flash back to the 1.26 sbf. Then I would figure out what to do next.

Maybe next I would update through the standard ota process. Then I would use gingerbreak and gladenable.
I wonder if there's a place to find directions for all of this...

No audio calls problem!!!

So I just ditched my EVO the other day and picked up this bad boy
I have the latest everything prl profile...
I believe I have the latest software from moto ....it ends with MR1
Correct me if Im wrong
Problem. Is when I make or receive phone calls I get no audio what so ever....only fix I have found is rebooting the phone
I have read a little round here. Sounds like im not the only one....I also have another photon as well. From a different store...my girl and I both have one.....hers does the same thing
Sprint told me this was a known issue and the problem is with Motorola software and are waiting for a update
I read somewhere bout a oem software upgrade that u could manually dl and install ...and further read that they already started implementing in a OTA ....my phone says its up to date...am I tight. Do I have the newest software? ??
If I do I have the newest software ....well the problem still happens....a few times a day....super frustrating
Let me know

Cannot Hear in Phone Calls after Unroot?

I recently unrooted my GS2 i777, but now when I make phone calls (calls do actually connect) I cannot hear on either end. No sound sent, no sound received....
any ideas?
What ROM were you on before?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
some build of ICS. Not sure exactly. I found how to unroot here http://galaxys2root.com/category/att-galaxy-s2/.
Everything should b stock now...or so i think...
Sounds like you might have the wrong modem installed.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA App
With that unroot file from galaxys2root.com, it had all the files in one .tar (for the PDA slot in Odin) Where would i be able to track down the right modem file?
You could root again and then flash i777 modem and kernel to see if that will help. Are all your touch keys working?
Fyi if you want to unroot, you are beret off useing the sticky on this forum to do so.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ya all the keys are working just fine. It connects to data, and i can send texts, just no voice.
I'm sorry, I'm admittedly a noob and cannot find it in the stickies....lol
just wondering why you decided to unroot?
Anyways if you are unrooted use this to get root back. If you are 2.3.6 you might want to do some reading to make sure this method will work.

Or if you don't want root, try factory reset.

Can he just simply perform "factory reset" to bring back bone stock from a custom ROM?
Is that easy??? Hmmm
His first post said he unrooted already.

Sprint to Verizon flash

I recently flashed my EVO 3d from Sprint to Verizon. While rooting the phone I forgot to backup my nanodroid. I installed a ROM that at the time I didn't know it didn't work with s-on. I thought I soft bricked it. I paniced and I installed the latest RUU. Doing that took my Verizon off the phone and I had to get it reflashed. My question is if I change Roms which I tend to do every two weeks will that take my Verizon flash off my phone.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
You changed the ESN of your verizon phone to your Evo3d? That what your saying?
When you flash the new rom no you won't loose the carrier flash you will only lose the mms and web setting only if you change the prl u will lose the carrier flash

You can absolutely change roms, you just have to go and edit the mms and 3g settings after.
How do you do that?

However you changed it in the first place to get it to work on Verizon.
So the answer is no I can't change Roms. Im trying to avoid having to do the Verizon thing again because they gonna charge me .

Again, you can ABSOLUTELY change roms, you just have to redo your 3g and mms settings after. It should literally take you about 1 minute. Just write down the settings you have now.

Charge you for what? If you're already flashed to Verizon, then you are paying verizon, correct?
I didn't do the 3g and mms settings. Where and how do I adjust them?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Okay you can change roms but regardless if your switching from sprint to verizon your gonna have to change the mms and Web setting because each carrier had specified Inet and picture setting there's no wary to avoid this unless you look for an APN file for each carrier and just enable it when you switch roms or carriers
But there is no way you won't have to change the setting when you flash to a new carrier every 2 weeks just google APN setting Verizon or sprint using the model type of phone and then use APN back up and restore to modify mms and Web but do it research first or else u will end up with neither of the 2 good luck

are you in a sprint service area? try rebooting the phone. find a good spot where you should have the signal and hope for the best! if you get a signal dial *228 to activate it.

Couldn't hurt.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
Try this
Go to dialer and type *#*#4636#*#*
Go to phone settings and try different settings aside from cdma auto (eg cdma only or evdo only) and then reboot it in that setting
Once rebooted switch back to cdma auto and see if your fixed.
If that doesn't work you can manually change prl
So mess around in these setting and a solution should be there.

no phone number... interesting.. maybe it needs to be factory restored with an SBF. it's obviously not programmed though. what did you do to it? before trying to activate it? was it purchased this way?
No i had it for awhile at first it said failed to boot 4 and so i fixed it with this method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145
And thats how i was abke to fix it i flashed all the stuff it asked to and now it says no service but better than being brick is there anything i can flash to be able to get it to work on sprint towers

Im on 2.3.5 and so i know my options are limited but i am rooted

Uhhh, if you know the esn number from some other form: tools like cdma workshop cam help you restore it. The only thing is not even stores have this software so you will just have to search around for esn editor. WARNING tools like this can be seen as illegal because tools like this can be used to duplicate phone identities.

please list everything you have done step by step.
seems you might not have the proper modules.

I flashed the electrify spf file then flashed the photon stock rom from the description and then flashed that file in the description with bootstrap and then flashed the spf (also in the description) then flashed that last file woth bootstrap all the files i got were in the description
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Wats esn #? And msl #??
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Just to be clear as this can be a little tricky
1 flash full electrify sbf via rsd
2 flash 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf via rsd from here
3 root
4 install bootstrap recovery
5 install stock locked rom 254_12 or higher via bootstrap
if you are still getting no service try step 6
6 install photon radio via bootstrap
if these steps are follow all should be well
is your wifi functioning?
Ok do u know were i can get all thiae files and yes im currently using wifi to be able to use my phone
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
Oh and tge phone not recognizing the serial number im guessing
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
OK well if your WiFi is working sounds like your modules are installed correctly my guess is you need to install the proper radio.
Ok so i was trying to get the msl # and i got this ??? Nothing so it seem like the phone is completly wiped no serial number no imei number nothing is there something i have to flash to get all of it bak ? And wat radi do i need to flash
