This is all new to me and I'm sorry if this has been raised before, I did look.....but I installed a theme after I rooted and did everything that I learned but when the phone was reset and loaded up....I got a few force closes from voice activated dialing and Google search. It wouldn't let me get past it and I kept hitting force close... I couldn't get past it.....any ideas why?

Hi I had that same issue with one of the colored themes I think it was green could not get the phone to reboot into clockwork mod either. Solution was plugging the charger in and turning phone on after thee battery charging symbol came on and it rebooted into recovery automatically were I had to restore to a ealier image backup I had that was the only way I could get past the fc's.

So, i was rooted before the update and it unrooted me. I saw a lot for people used z4root to reroot but for me it isnt working. I have ran it probably 8 or 9 times just to be sure. I says that it is accessing the shell, the the screen goes white for a few seconds and it reboots. Once it reboots i am still unrooted. I tried the temporary root just to be sure and that doesn't work either. Anyone else? The first time i rooted it via the android terminal. I havn't tried that again yet...
Thanks in advance!
make sure you are using the newest apk for Z4root which I think it is 1.3.0 and make sure usb debugging is checked in the phone settings, and also do a battery pull and put it back in and then try it again.
It worked for me after the update.
Definitely am using the newest z4 and made sure debugging was on. I just said "screw it" like 15 minutes ago and did the whole thing through the terminal again. What a pain, but at least it works. Rooted.
Z4root worked for me after the update, weird.

Yeah i even tried installing the app through the browser and both the official and beta releases of the sideload wonder machine. Then, just to cover all of my bases, i tried older versions of z4. I guess this thread may help others who have the same issue as me but it doesn't sound like anyone else is?
Although I had to reboot after installation before it would work.

Installed the update while crossing my fingers. It removed root. Just reran Z4root and then rebooted. Fine and dandy.

Per this poster over on S4GRU.com, the new version is 77.8.10.XT897.Sprint.en.US:
http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/2507-photon-q-software-update/
Yeah, I had seen someone on the Sprint forums say he got the update last night. He said IM didn't work aterwards, but I wasn't sure if he meant Gtalk, or what.
I am rooted and debloated as well, but from my experience, that shouldn't prevent the device from saying an update is available.... but the update could fail if we try and apply it like this... I always go back to stock unrooted if I wanna install an update.
I think at least one thing they were supposed to address was that VSNCP registratiom error that pops up sometimes, I've seen it pretty much every day, and I've even done the fix of editing my data profile username.

Actually, I will be interested to see whether we do receive the update with bootloader unlocked and rooted. I did see Moto say in the FAQs that they are under no obligation to offer updates to unlocked devices. However, that is probably just something they say, and they did also mention the bit about accepting the OTA when rooted/modded causing problems.

any idea is it JB or stil ICS?
Pretty sure its still ICS, I'm sure the guy would have said if it were JB, plus something that significant would have hit the various sites beforehand most likely.
yeah, if it were JB we most probably would have heard about it beforehand. i haven't seen many people with the update yet, today i keep getting 'check for update not available at this time'.
Probably to fix the vsncp error message problem.
i just got off a chat with Sprint, and they said there is no such update currently
unless maybe it was released, then pulled due to bugs?
I woke up to a notification of the update. Size was about 50mb. I pressed 'later' to cancel it, even though it'll fail if I take it since I'm unlocked.

The tech was an idiot, I just got the popup notification and was able to click on the link for the release notes.

Yeah, I just got the update notice myself. Thanks!
Gonna install and check it out. Can always revert if it's no good.

I'm gonna try restoring the bone-stock backup file, reflashing stock recovery, and then installing the update. From past experience, unlocked bootloader has been ok, it just won't work if your system is rooted/modded.

I got the OTA message this morning.
Coming from the shift forum we have learned to never to install OTA updates. However this one looks harmless.
Who knows.. maybe my LTE will start actually working?

Got the update pushed down around 10:30 am est today.
From the release notes:
Multimedia Texting - Improved MMS texting functionality when the Data Username/NAI has changed to a shorter length

This is most likely the data profile extra ".com" fix. I like their wording.
Hey a quick question to everyone. Never really had to deal with Sprint for my epic since XDA had everything I needed but I have gotten very concerned with the information around this and the "VSNCP" stuff. Are the tech's normally this clueless? Is there a quick way to talk to someone that actually knows what they are talking about? They told me I had to get a new phone the other day due to these issues. How could they tell me that if a software update to fix it is going to be release a week later?

I am rooted and unlocked and the upgrade went through fine. Now I am not rooted anymore, but that shouldnt be hard to fix.

I am also rooted (and unlocked, of course you have to be unlocked to be rooted ), but my phone went through a different scenario.
I downloaded the update (was 56MB I believe, somewhere around there. The update is 77.8.10.en.US). Downloaded it via Wi-Fi, then the phone asked if I wanted to install. I pressed Install Now, and it rebooted.
My phone rebooted and went into recovery. I dont remember everything, but it asked if I wanted to install "Unknown.zip", and it had:
No
No
No
No
Yes - Install Unknown.zip
No
No
No
Etc... I clicked No, then it went to the recovery menu (where you have the option to restart the phone, and the other options.. sorry, I've only ever rooted my evo shift so my termoinology is limited). I rebooted the phone via the first option, the phone went through its process, came back up fully, and rebooted by itself! Everything happened again (asking to install the unknown.zip, etc..). Basically, it was in an endless look when I would restart the phone.
First thing I tried was to wipe the Delvik Cache. Did that, rebooted, phone came back up and rebooted by itself again.
Second thing I tried (and I had a feeling I would probably regret this cause it would either brick my phone or unroot it), was to install that Unknown.zip. But that didnt even go through. The install failed (A message appeared at the bottom of the phone along with the other message logs, so I really dont remember exactly what it said. It was just an error message basically).
At this point I didnt know what to do... so I got to the recovery menu (where it said Reboot phone, Advanced, and the other options), and I selected the one that said to Wipe Cache. Not the Delvik cache but the phone cache (I dont think the option said Wipe Cache, but something similar?). Did that, rebooted, and my phone stayed on! The update popped up again, and this time I pressed "Later". Learned my lesson.
I guess the update may be hit or miss for rooted users?

Yes, clockwork recovery booted up and the update failed.. probably going to flash the stock image..
But my phone says I'm up to date?

Possibly..I dunno. I used the 2nd method posted only a few weeks ago and a few clicks of the mouse to root...not the first method initially posted when the phone first came out. When I clicked update now it simply rebooted and the android guy came up and did its thing...about 5 minutes later everything was back to normal.
I wiped my phone completely and am not getting a notification about the OTA now.
I'm flashing TWRP and hoping I get notified again.
Is there a way to flash the stock recovery?
I installed this update, all I can confirm is that it's still Android version 4.0.4. Otherwise I've really not noticed anything different or new yet, but I haven't had much of a chance to use it.
Hi,
I have been using Atrix 2 for almost 4 months now and i was very happy with it. I also a got an OTA to ICS. But recently my dialer/phone is not working properly. Whenever i press the dial button for any contact it takes almost 5 to 10 mins to dial that number and during that time even the back button wont work in the dialer/phone. But all other apps seem to work fine. I am unable to make calls properly as it takes too long nearly 10 mins to dial that number. I tried restarting the phone and also uninstalled few apps which i thought might be cause. But nothing seems to fix the problem.
When i do a factory reset then it works fine for almost a day and the same problem repeats again. Details are given below,
Phone: Atrix 2
OS: Andriod 4.0.4
Root: Not Rooted.
Please help me fix this problem.

You're on a completely stock system right? Definitely weird, since you have no root and stock recovery, and factory reset doesn't fix it. Then I would suggest fxz a clean system. You can check the noob guide for more info about how to do it, and which fxz you need.

Yes. Actually few days ago i got my ICS rooted and due to some app the phone was stuck at the boot screen and wouldn't start. So i had to flash the stock ROM i.e Android 2.3.6 GB. After that i got a OTA to ICS and after few days of usage i facing this problem. I have not rooted the OS i am currently using.

Flash it in CWM. There are some minor bugs though. I would suggest u manually write down the apns before flashing and add it back once done.
So for a while I was soft bricked waiting for the FXZ for 12.15.15, obviously it was released and my phone is up and running great but one thing I've noticed is when I try to install a 3rd party app I am not able to click install (I have unknown source's enabled duh) but it's so weird... I click the app, it opens and when I try to click install it just doesn't register period. I can click the cancel button but not install...I tried installing the latest safe strap to make a back up but am unable...I also tried installing the Google Search Launcher I extracted from a 4.4 ROM and the same issue occurs...any idea what this is? Or what I can do?...I may try restoring stock again cause this has never happened before,ever. Any insight would be great.

I've seen this before and for my device it was because I was running the app Lux, which is an autodimming screen effect. The way Lux worked was shooting a semi-transparent image over the whole screen. Android has a built-in feature that prevents apps from auto-clicking the install button by preventing apps that are "above" the install screen from disallowing them to auto-install things. Do you have any apps that are running in some sort of overlay?
Thank you Sir, I am actually running greenified which is just like this lux app your talking about, good look.... I had a feeling it was something I had installed, I'll uninstall and see if it works
