So I hate to be the frantic guy screaming for help cuz im normally pretty savvy at all this types of stuffs. But........
ZOMG [email protected]#[email protected]@[email protected][email protected]%!!
Im stuck pretty hardcore here. Allow me to give you the run down:
Was on Clean Rom Dev Edition. the newest version. ICS and the lot. But I wanted to try something different. Devil toast. When I tried to install the CM9 rom I got bootloops. I did some reading and found out this could be because I was S-on with hboot 1.50. So I found the JBEAR method for achieving s-off. It said I had to go back to stock so i tried to install a stock rom. didnt work. bootloops non stop. I tried a few different versions. odex, deodex blah blah blah. non of them worked. i only got bootloops. So I decided I would try and reinstall the Clean rom. That worked. I was able to reinstall it. I still wanted to try and get back to stock so I Got the RUU EXE and gave that a try. I only got errors and was unsuccessful at the RUU. So i figured what the heck I will try and do this with the rom i am already on. (since it says that it can work with some custum roms) gave it a try and got the still sober error a few times. I have tried about 5-6 times now with no luck. the phone wont boot into the rom. only the bootloader/fastboot. when i try to load CWM it wont mount my sd card so i can try installing a rom. if i try and power on the phone normally it just goes to a black screen with the word "juopunutbear" hanging above a phone. What should my next step be XDA friends? what can I do to get myself out of this situation. and wind up with soff and some devil toast!?
sorry if im being a noob. but i really need some help. thanks guys

Have you tried running the stock RUU in fastboot? I usually get errors when I try and run the RUU in andriod but no issue when in fastboot.

Boot your phone into fastboot. Plug it into the computer. Open up your command prompt and change your directory to whatever folder you created when you unlocked your bootloader. Then type fastboot oem lock. After doing this, you should be able to install your stock ROM either form your phone or via RUU on the computer. Let me know if you have any problems.
So heres the Update:
I finally got the phone jbeared. and installed jbear hboot. flashed devil toast and got no service or wifi. everytime i tried to connect to wifi the phone would reboot. did as mush reading and digging as i could to find out if anyone had the same prob. couldnt find anything. and wanted to go to bed for the night. so i just flashed back to clean rom dev edition because i had no problems with it before. but now I cant send or recive text messages. my data works fine. but no SMS at all. i get sms errors everytime i try to send one. i used one of my friends phones to send myself a text and i didnt receive it. what do you think the issue is?

Try reflashing the radio (PG86IMG.zip). Put it on your SD card, and boot into bootloader and follow instructions.
I never quite understood what radio I should use. How do I go about finding that out?
again sorry for being a noob.
So I tried reflashing the radio. No luck. Im still getting errors. "radio interface resource shortage" when I press details it says "cause code: 64, error class: 2" recommendations from here? I have tried updating PRL. nothing has worked so far.

If you are on sprint and on a sense Rom , dial ##3282# click edit mode, enter your msl number (if you don't know what is your msl number, download msl reader from play store or anywhere and install it on your phone, it requires root access) then data profile then hit menu button and click restore . Your phone should reboot and it should do the hands free activation......
And for the issues you are facing , are you wiping every partition (except sdcard) before flashing a new Rom? and before doing s-off were you flashing boot.IMG manually from fastboot after flashing ROMs?

Installing MSL now. to try that. I will update you once i have done it.
And yes. I wipe everything from the mounts and storage section except the sd card. as well as dalvic cache, and cache partition. in CWM befor flashing a new rom. and the way I have been flashing roms is from this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17660133&postcount=1877
That is really the only way i know how to flash on the evo3d. I was also gonna see if there was a better way to flash roms. with out having to be at a computer to do so?

try changing active profile from 0 to 1 in data profile to get data working again....
if data starts working , try updating prl and update profile too.
Is there a way to IM you?
Also, none of that worked. data is still gone. no activation. I just tried reflashing the rom. didnt work.

try making a call and you will be redirected to sprint for activation. if that doesn't work, try restoring data profile once again and then make a call
no luck. "error #16 switch 531" is what it says after ringing once. then hangs up. doesnt redirect me. tried up the same thing multipule times. no luck.
can you contact sprint from another phone? tell them about your activation issue.....don't tell them you s-offed your device .
Yea. I will call them tomorrow when I get off of work. Any advice on that I should say to them. like what caused the malfunction, ect...?

Hello. I have a photon that was rooted and unlocked and all that. The thing is it somehow got the newest Motorola update. The question i have is can i reroot it. I would love to be able to run a different OS than just the stock one. Can someone help me here or do i have a nice paperweight
yes you can re-root it using the torpedo method. but unfortunately no unlocking at this time

What he means is, you need to be unlocked to install a custom rom with custom kernel and you can no longer unlock. You have two rom options while still locked, but both are based off the blur you already have. You can still root, though.
from what I understand you can use boostrap recovery to install ROMs. i've yet to try it myself but others have used it

Only roms without a custom kernel assuming you are still locked while using it.

Yes I'm referring to your bootloader. The gsm lock you are referring to only exists in the united states.
thanks for the info guys, well i did get the phone rooted and super user restored, see the thing is the phone was flashed and programmed for page plus, its still running on page plus service but i had 2 problems one being the nag screen to activate the phone for sprint and its constantly in roaming, i called page plus and they say yeah that will happen and no i wont be charged for it, i would be all happy if i could get the roaming off, i did however get rid of the sprint activation by deleting a apk called SprintOMADM,apk. now im not totally sure i need that apk or not but its gone now and i have no nag screen to activate it, it still makes calls just fine but im not sure im totally getting all my incoming phone calls or any notifications for voice mail, any sugestions on how i might be able to get rid of some of this stuff, like i said it was flashed rooted and unlocked before, i did use when i first had it that remote squad software but now it says it cant even read the phone, i was also told by them its probably that awsome new update 2.35. thanks alot again for your responses and ill keep popping in and out of here to see more responses
well disreguard the last post, I had some app downloaded on my phone used to flash roms... well basically what happened i restarted my phone and the app booted before the phone started and it said flash rom from zip file so i selected one that i downloaded here, and thinking it wouldnt work i selected it and hit ok, well it worked alright now the phone says Failed to boot 2, and just shows starting in RSD mode, now im screwed, I shouldnt have done that, I figured it was locked and wouldnt work now the phone is broke how can i get it back just to stock the way it was or am i totally screwed

What rom did you flash and what little application did you use to flash it with? You're probably not screwed, we just need a bit of information on what steps you took.

well when i got that awsome update 2.35 from my son clicking yes to it, i tried just about any roms to get the phone back, first it was the electrify rom which i later find out dumb mistake on my part, anyway now and i mean right now i flashed the phone with rsd lite using the electrify rom 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US..... from there i rooted the phone using the torpedo method, then i installed busybox and i forget which method i used but anyway it was all done in fastboot, once i got all that installed i downloaded a apk file system recovery which is MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk. plugged in the charger and booted up the system recovery or the bootstrap which ever you call it, and went into advanced and did a dalvik wipe i even hit fix permissions, i then hit go back and did a data- factory clear wipe, then went into install zip from sd card and i first used MOF.2.3.5.ish,v1.4.zip and that installed fine the problems i had was sometimes when i would do that i would get failed to boot 2 screen but i just used the unbrick zip that i downloaded here if anyone wants the name or link let me know, anyway.. once booted up with the MOF ish zip it would load fine but wouldnt save any settings or find any APNs or connect to any wireless networks in my house, but the wireless problem was clear it said error on it, so i knew the problem on that was it wasnt working derr. So this story is getting long now. anyway i then rebooted and turned on the bootstrap slash system recovery utility, and i installed first 2.3.x_libmoto_ril.so_198_7.zip and it aborted the install and failed. i then tried the next one in line which was 2.3.x_libmoto_ril.so_254_12.zip and that one installed fine so i rebooted and i got the failed to boot 2 screen and i did the unbrick sbf file on rsd lite and it booted fine, though still no saving of the settings and no wifi no cell service and no text or anything, I kept RSD lite open and i tried one more thing, 2.3.5sv2_198_7_radio.sbf and flashed it, the wifi for the house started working and i started getting bars on my cell service yay, well atleast i thought yay this is after weeks of not having a cell. well i thought all is well im done and fixed. NOPE im not fixed when i try and dial a number or even activate my phone i get nothing, no dial buzzing sounds like you get normally, no any kinds of sounds the call eventually times out and says called failed retry or cancel the call, i hit retry and i get the same thing. i even tried flashing the radio to 2.3.5sv2_254_12_radio. when i used that one it would save settings but i wouldnt get any cell signal or anything. so im back to square one. I need help. this phone is about 2 steps of getting thrown out the window. I just strated working again and i need this phone to call back customers and i cant afford a regular carrier so im on pageplus the phone was originally flashed through remote squad and worked great until i let my youngest son play a SNES emulator on it and it exited out of the program for some reason and it wanted to do the system update and he hit yes and it installed and screwed up everything. All i want now is to get the phone back to somewhat normal, I can use RSD lite, CDMA workshop, QPST, DFS 4.0.0.5 and a couple others if need be i can download anything i just need to be told what files i need and what i dont need to get the phone back to normal, cuz if i dont get this phone back to normal im just going to not get another pageplus card and throw the phone away and ill be back to not being able to work. thanks to all that has responded to the post here i really do apreciate the time you all have taken to help. sorry it took so long to get back to any of you here but i still need urgent help here badly please and thank you for your time to read this i hope i gave you all the info you needed to help me
I just write this.
Calm down, read the 2.3.5 sv2 custom sbf thread one more time and start from the beginning with unbrick steps. Everytime you do that process, you will understand it more and more and your phone will start to work again. Believe me.

Wow - just Wow. Unreadable. You are truly fortunate that someone actually read that and offered advice.
yes it was a long post, yes it was all jumbled together, anyway i did all the stuff recccommended and it works. the only problem im having now is, its still not lockig onto the right cell tower or something here where i live.
I Have tried Remote Squads Full Flash and other ways of manually programming it and for some reason I cannot get it to lock onto verizon towers, its like it has me permenantly locked onto sprint. when i drive down the road about 8 miles or so i can go down at the sheetz in my area and I get locked onto a verizon tower there but as soon as i move from that area I lose it and it goes back to sprint towers, I talked with Pageplus and they told me some stuff about what SID and NID i should have in but im not sure if the info was correct they told me they didnt know pennsylvavnia all that good but here is some numbers to try .. im about to melt this thing
Try roam control.

Not the first post a noob really wants to make...but I've been searching the forums for an answer to my problem, but can't seem to find the info on the issue I'm having. I've seen some that were close & tried what was posted there without any success. I've checked out the Don't Panic -- Please Read First, includes troubleshooting guide Thread By: om4
A few days ago, I tried to install CM10 on my 4G LTE w/S-ON / HBOOT- 1.19. I was able to unlock the bootloader & install TWRP. Everything seemed to go okay until I rebooted my phone after installing CM10. It just hung on the Cyanogenmod splash screen. I tried re-installing it & kept getting the same problem. Today, I tried to install MeanROM ICS v6.5, but it keeps saying install failed. If I let the phone boot up, it'll hang on the MeanRom splash screen. I can still get into fastboot so I know it has to be a software issue. I've been beating my head against the wall for the past few days & just don't know how to fix it. Right now I have a very expensive paperweight. I'm hoping someone can help me fix this & get my phone back up & running.
TIA
for the millionth time
flash the boot.img seperately in hboot
Get (Flash Image GUI) off the Play Store.
If yr S-ON then u have to flash the kernel separate. That's why the ROM's keep hanging.

if you know how to Fastboot, go for it, but use the Boot.img from the ROM you are flashing.

It's the only option I have now, so I hope I can figure it out. Wish me luck. I know it's probably something stupid that I'm missing & it's driving me crazy. lol
For meanrom make sure you have twrp 2.2.2.0 or later to be able install. The kernel installer will force the phone to reboot upon first run, this is when the kernel installs. For cm10 or other aosp based roms be sure to properly wipe phone. Cache, dalvik, factory reset, and system. Fastboot the kernel using SDK, mini SDK, uniflash, or boot image flasher. Do not use clockwork mod recovery to install roms as it is known to damage internel storage and or misc partitions.
ADB Tools Mini SDK
Thanks for all the info!!! I'm glad I found this place!!! I was able to get my phone working again. I found this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1937949 from back in October and found out that I was putting the boot.img in the wrong location. Once I fixed that, I have my phone back. Now I have to get it re-activated because I had to switch back to my Hero because I wasn't sure how long this would take. I hope Sprint will activate it even though is not stock anymore.

Well now I have another small problem. When I try to use the camera or go into gallery, it says no external storage available. Looks like I'm off to search the forums again for a fix. I'm sure it's something minor.
It looks like it's the internal SD card. Under storage in settings it shows the external card's total space & the 3 GBs used for app data, ect...
When I try and mount the SD card, it says preparing card but doesn't do anything. I think I say something about changing something in TWRP.
Forgot to mention, I can't connect the phone via USB either.
Ha, fixed my SD card/USB issues by following the directions in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1812774
Hello.
I have a Motorola Atrix that is not working and I have no clue about the history of the phone. I have no idea how it was messed up, or what was done to the phone.
Currently I see a screen with the M logo on it and the word unlock in the top left corner. I have seen many other people with this phone have had this same issue. I tried doing the common tip of wiping data and cache but nothing worked.
Can anyone help me out here. I dont care what the phone looks like I simply need it to turn on without a hitch and be able to navigate the menus. I could go completely stock and be thrilled. My only problem is that I am a complete beginner and cant figure out what to do or where to find current files. I have done a lot of searching here and a lot of the links seem to be broken, probably because this is an older phone...
Thanks anyone in advance!
PS: Im trying to fix this to turn into ATT for a credit towards a new phone, anyone who helps me solve the problem gets a free meal!

I have a Motorola Atrix that is not working and I have no clue about the history of the phone. I have no idea how it was messed up, or what was done to the phone.
Currently I see a screen with the M logo on it and the word unlock in the top left corner. I have seen many other people with this phone have had this same issue. I tried doing the common tip of wiping data and cache but nothing worked.
Can anyone help me out here. I dont care what the phone looks like I simply need it to turn on without a hitch and be able to navigate the menus. I could go completely stock and be thrilled. My only problem is that I am a complete beginner and cant figure out what to do or where to find current files. I have done a lot of searching here and a lot of the links seem to be broken, probably because this is an older phone...
Thanks anyone in advance!
PS: Im trying to fix this to turn into ATT for a credit towards a new phone, anyone who helps me solve the problem gets a free meal!

Try flashing the 4.5.141 (2.3.6) SBF file via RSD for a full stock experience. This makes the phone "forget" that its unlocked (the unlock at the top left disappears). If you want to keep it unlocked, flash a fruitcake via CWM.

Where can I find the 2.3.6 file? The ones I have found here are all broken links thus far.. I cant find the most current list I suppose.

Here's the post that gives you 4.5.145 (2.3.6). It returns the phone to stock and unlocked, but gets rid of the recovery. You'll need to dig through your system partition to delete the file that forces the stock recovery to show up before flashing a new recovery.
Warning : This may brick your phone . I am not responsible for damaged devices.
OTA IS ONLY FOR AT&T
Here is the OTA update zip
CAUTION!!!!
Some users reported bricks
failed to boot 1

And 38P Radio Rom (pulled from ota)
http://db.tt/AkQHXIc8
I dont prefer to flash ota
And the fruitcake

THIS IS FOR UNLOCKED DEVICES ONLY
BE SURE TO BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING
DONT FORGET TO WIPE USER DATA

Also, here's another way to do it. Either method will work. The method below tells you where the recovery file i mentioned earlier is in the system partition.
I have made a cwm flashable zip for anyone that would like to test the new build. It includes kerrnel, system and webtop. I have tested this on my device and seems to work fine. However i will not be responsable for any bricked devices. flash at your own risk.
i have rooted this build with an older method so su binarys may need to be updated
also you will need to have a way to reflash your recovery there is a recovery-from-boot.p file in /system that will overwrite recovery with a stock one on every boot. it should be a very easy fix just find the file in /system and delete it reflash whatever recovery you like and the problem should be solved (sorry i just didnt have time to fix this)
For non AT&T users if you would like to try this build you can probably use the ramfix or one of faux123's kernnel. I can not tests this so i have no idea if it will work

Good afternoon, !!!
First and foremost , I want to thank you all in advance for ANY and help, time & consideration with my current issue. I will try my best to be clear, and give all relevant info here in my first post. Please bear with me, I am pretty good when it comes to following directions, but i havent been able to find a CLEAR solution to this yet, and worried about further screwing up my phone.
** I use a mac. I currently dont have access to a PC, so i am looking for a mac remedy if possible.
I have an HTCONE m7. Tmobile.
- Bootloader - Unlocked
- S- ON
- Rooted
I kept getting a OTA software update notice for 5.14xxx, i understand the install kept failing due to the bootloader being unlocked and/or root. So after being annoyed for not able to get it, i began googling ways to get the update but to no avail. So i decided to do CM11, & recovery which i installed with no problem via, Cyanogenmod Installer.
After doing so, i realized i lost my Tmobile Wifi Calling (Yes, my own fault for not further checking that scenario before doing cm11), The wifi calling is needed 10000%, due to bad service in my apartment. Prior to finding out that cm11 doesnt contain the tmobile wifi calling , I attempted another system update thru the phone, (I assume it was updating cm11).
This is where the problem began, phone rebooted to Cyanogenmod simple recovery ,
1st few times that i tried = "apply update" > choose from internal storage , i searched different folders for the "update" file, but to no avail. The phone wouldnt start up, or install anything , and will just stay on the simple recovery. I even attempted an adb sideload. But couldnt figure that out correctly either.
After a few failed attempts, I tried wiping the phone, cache, factory reset etc. now the phone still stays on simple recovery, and all folders are gone, except for an o/ folder, that contains a clockworkmod folder, which contains nothing.
So now basically,Do i have to eventually get back to STOCK on this phone, to regain tmobile wifi calling ? IF So i need the easiest, mac friendly route to go .
Again, i thank you ALLLLL in advance, & my apologies if this is in the wrong section. Please note ive done my fair share of googling , and reading up on this. But consistently run into a problem.

What's the radio version that is installed? Should be viewable on the bootloader screen at the top. That will help determine which RUU you need to get back to running again.
http://www.androidruu.com/getdownlo...50.20_10.40.1150.04_release_324846_signed.exe
If it matches the numbers/letters after the Radio_ part there, then that is the file you need. Let me know, and I can download it for you and extract the rom.zip from the exe and upload that. Then you can use fastboot commands to install it on the phone. If your radio version does not match that, please post and we'll see if there are other options.
I don't believe that flashing another rom would work right now since all the storage and such got wiped, but it might be possible to use adb while in recovery to push a rom to the internal storage and install it and then use fastboot to install the boot.img from the rom in bootloader mode since you are S-On.
