Hi guys!
Recently i buy this Photon Q 4G LTE Sprint to my wife's birthday.
It's a wonderfull device with a nice hardware, but the best is the external keyboard (She likes it, because his old device was Motorola dextr, and she was used to), but we're from brazil and my first difficulty was to find a rom that support drivers without bugs.
So here i was: My first try was MIUI. I unlocked my bootloader, rooted and installed TRWP. Didi Backup, formated and installed MIUI, :good:
First i tryed with Kernell the UFO developed for it, and the device don't boot. After i tryed just the rom, but it has no modem or wifi. So i flashed up the stock rom modem img and worked fine.
But apks like "retrica" doesn't work with it, bringing black photos and others apks made for instragram. I love this rom and i have installed in my Xperia Play. It works perfect, but in this device have a lot of bugs, so i give up.
I know how to use it with bugs, but not my wife. Then i had to try another one.
I downloaded Cyanogenmod CM10.1, CM10.2, CM11 nightly, snapshot. Then after try all "Xt897" roms, i tryed all "moto_msm8960".
I can't get in any of this roms make my wifi or 3G work. I believe that modem is not compatible. Even if i tryed to flashed stock modem after, i still had no signal at all. No IMEI, no MAC Address, nothing. :crying:
This device have few alternative roms, so i decided try to translate the rom with less bugs at all. I picked up the stock rom JellyBeans 4.1.2, but this was my second failure. A language patch is something that you don't find in market, and to disassembly entire rom and work in a translate is something beyond my knowledges.
So i have an answer to someone that know how to do a fix patch to wifi in cyanogenmod(Specific "cm-11-20140518-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip" ), or someone good in translate rom, or input a language in stocked rom, like The Solutor did in " [Full ICS ROM] Multilanguage/Toggle2g /STK/Tethering" (but the rom he used was 4.0.4 and it have bugs).
I will be grateful for any help. :fingers-crossed:
Hmm, what's the language you want (CM11 already have lots of them - not in the list?), and what WiFi/3G problem are you having? And you also failed to RSD the phone back to stock?
My recommendation is you first sort the RSD thing out and get the phone back to stock 4.1.2, and flash everything from that onwards. Assuming that you don't do anything wrong in the process, you should have no quirks with WiFi/3G.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
Try MoreLocale2 for the stock ROM language issues.
As for the CM issues... I agree with Andy, if it works in stock form, it "should" work on CM - at least that has been my experience.
You are clean wiping / factory resetting before or after flashing CM yes? I see you have done this step for MIUI, so I am thinking that you have already done this step...
If you have, can you provide logs from CM if the wiping/RSD'ing doesn't work?
Thx for help guys...
AndyYan - The language i need is Portuguese(Brasil) and it has on CM 11 and MIUI.
I did it as you said. I downloaded stock from here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=3
Rom version: Android 4.1.2 - Blur_Version.98.10.5.XT897.Sprint.en.US)
And flashed by RSD.
Everything ok till here. No errors, nothing wrong. Wifi working as well, and the network.
My MIUI was taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444449 (GSM one).
Cool rom, it has wifi and network, but camera bugs with some apks. For me ok, but not for my wife. So this rom was discarded.
CM i dwonloaded from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=moto_msm8960
The last one was: cm-11-20140521-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip (i tryed all of then "XT897" and "moto_msm8960", but none of them could get my network working. No wifi, no IMEI, no MAC, no wifi).
CM was my hope, because it has my language, but in all tries i did the wipe in cache, dalvik, system, factory, even internal memory, before installing, and cache or dalvik after flash. I tried this in all (tried not wiping too) and still has no modem.
After this, just for try, i flashed stock modem "NON-HLOS.bin". Still got no modem in any CM roms.
arrrghhh - i did try "MoreLocale2" for the stock rom, and "Set Locale and Language" (and more). This softwares did a nice job for keyboards and apks, but system stays intact in english. It need to be a real translation for my wife.
My guess is that this issue can be easily solved.
If all JB roms have the same system(at least for "moto_msm8960" processor kind ).
This ROM is generic for Motorola Atrix HD, Electrify M, Photon Q, RAZR HD, and RAZR M right?
Razr HD is a type of phone that came to my country.
Is it possible compile a system from Brasil career stock, for this phone with modem and anything else from my stock rom? Does it will crash my phone?
Please provide logs from the latest build of CM after booting and attempting to engage/connect to wifi.
Logs??
Sotty about my doubt, but i don't know what kind of logs do you want(i'm not used to).
Logs from TWRP in instalation?
This is easy. Installation was made with no errors and succesfully.
Does CM made logs itself??
If does, i dont know how to get them. Please send me a link.

CM does create logs. If you're not familiar with them, the easiest way is to use an app from the Play Store... which I'm not sure how you will manage without wifi or mobile data, and I assume you are not familiar with adb.
I can go thru the detail, but it's a bit involved. Perhaps this thread will help you?
Once you know how adb works, there's actually an easier method than using adb logcat to output to a file - there are logs stored in '/data/logger'. So:
Code:
adb root
So you can have the permissions to pull the files, then pull them:
Code:
adb pull /data/logger
Will pull all of the log files to wherever your command prompt is. If you 'cd' (change directory) to your desktop, doing the adb pull will send all the log files to your desktop.
Let me know if you have any questions, good luck.
Logs from Adb
Yeap! I'm familiar with ADB!!
(i'm not expert in it, but i already did something with that...)
I don't know exactly what are you lookin for, so i did two logs.
First a complete boot:
Code:
adb reboot system
adb logcat -v long > boot_log.txt
And one for especific modem log from boot
Code:
adb reboot system
adb logcat WifiStateMachine:E *:S -v long > just_wifi_error.txt
(I believe this this won't help u a lot?!)
The first one is the most complete solution for this and have all the boot infos, errors and other things.
If am i wrong please say the correct command to use.
I forgot something...
In filemanager i can't access internal storage.
It shows /storage/emulated/0, and points to nothing.
If i'm right, this was a well know bug on CM 10.2, which supposedly been fixed in CM 11 right?!
I think that information can help to solve this bug...
Please try the adb pull command I sent... Those logs are not very helpful, and quite difficult to read.
However, I have a feeling if you use RSD Lite to flash everything back stock, confirm it works, then start with the latest CM, I'd be curious if it works.
Also, someone mentioned they needed to install the CM10.2 snapshot before going to CM11 - or else BT and wifi did not work.
Eureca...
That is something that i didn't tried! I'd never flashed CM 10 in first!!!
I'm downloading "cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-xt897.zip ".
Fisrt i'll flash stock "Blur_Version.98.10.5.XT897.Sprint.en.US" with RSD.
Then fastboot "logo.bin" (to avoid warning unlocked), and TRWP(my stock have a original recovery that can't install CM. I can edit XML, but to cleanse my conscience i'll let this way).
After i'll install "cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-xt897.zip" with TRWP and boot with this one.
Then i'll flash "cm-11-20140526-NIGHTLY-moto_msm8960.zip ".
But i'll have to do this at night(it's 12pm here), because i'm working today.
If that don't work i'll pull the log that you said here, but I come back to thank.
Same problem
I confess I was hopeful in that case you said to flash first the CM 10.2.
But again failed. I tried two ways:
In both I tried to install the Snapshot CM 10.2, then the CM 11.
There is no way that cell boot with "CM 10.2" in any case. That saty on boot animation for several time(i waited 30 minutos each).
In the first I downgraded to version 4.0.4 stock to see if the modem worked.
After that i flashed CM 10.2 that stood in boot animation, then CM 11 booted without modem signal (no wi-fi, no signal).
I taked the log for that version (attachment named log_4.0.4.7z)
On the second attempt, I used the default stock 4.1.2.
After CM 10.2 which was stucked on boot animation again, then CM 11 again booted without modem signal (no wi-fi, no signal).
I taked the log for that version (attachment named log_4.1.2.7z)
Strange thing happened on both CM 11 boot. When the system's load, it shows a message "The clock stopped". This is strange thing for me.
Can you wait for CM10.2 to boot...? There is a fsck process which sometimes takes quite a long time to boot.
Also, for your FC issue - you are clean flashing the ROM everytime? You are doing a factory reset everytime you flash a new ROM?
Edit - looking at your logs, I don't think the fsck is the issue... something is causing the CM10.2 boot to die over and over. Please try clean flashing...
I clean everything before.
Yeap. What do you call a clean flashing?
Everytime i flash some ROM, i do factory reset, clean cache and dalvik.
The ROM is flashed on a clean state of the stock one. Is this the clean you are talking about?
CM was taken about 30 minutes to boot, and yet don't load system.
This is why i stop that and flash CM 11 over it.
Is this time bigger than that? How long your cell take to boot this CM 10.2?

Yes, factory reset == clean flash.
As for the long boot, I'm not sure the fsck is your issue - basically there is a process which runs a disk check, and sometimes this will make the boot take quite longer than usual. I can't say how long, I've never personally experienced the issue.
However, the fact that CM10.2 isn't booting is a little disturbing. I've heard some people report 45-60 mins... can you do me a favor, charge up the phone, and try to let it boot for at least 90 minutes?
If at the 90min mark it still hasn't booted, pull logs and post them.
Thanks.
The logs contain references to apps that are present only in stock firmware.
That means the CM boot is actually not happening in a clean environment (the data wipe/factory reset in TWRP hasn't worked as it should?).
Please try to use OpenRecovery 2.09 instead of TWRP (as OR is the recovery I personally use and watch for possible bugs) to wipe the device and to install CM11 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211579&page=10
When installing CM in recovery, you will probably also want to install the gapps package - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Btw., CM11 expects the baseband (modem) and other partitions the be at the 4.1.2 stock level. Experiments with 4.0.4 are useless.
Please post the logs from CM11 boot.
You will need to enable the logger under CM11 by
Code:
su
setprop persist.log.aplogd.enable 1
in Terminal app or ADB shell, it's not enabled on CM11 by default.

Hi... My TRWP version is "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.1-asanti_c.img".
Something is not ok with this one. Sometimes this one format the cache, sometimes not.
I have to do it a lot of times and when i try to format data partition, this just reload the TWRP.
I want to install this one that you said, but those links in the post you sent are broken.
Can you please send me another one?

I'm on an older version of TWRP, and it has never failed me... that's a shame really. I'll try to update and see what's what. In the meantime, flash OpenRecovery I linked above ^^.

TWRP 2.6.3.x should also work properly.
@arrrghhh, so you see it's not just me having the "wiping /data reboots the recovery" problem... I've already sold my PQ (might buy a new one in the future), but please do help let this problem be known to whoever's developing TWRP for us
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM11
I can't believe it works
Unbelievable! :laugh:
This very simple solution worked for me.
My TRWP did not work right.
He said he had done successfully in cleaning the cache and manufactures, but did not.
I downloaded the link you guys sent me and it worked on the first try.
Not needed before installing CM 10.2. Already installed in the first CM 11, has worked with modem and everything. Now I can configure the GSM network my country and language of the country for my wife (PR-BR).
I want to thank the efforts of user @ AndyYan to respond, the attention given by the user @ Arrrghhh teaching me with patience, and the solution given by the user @ kabaldan. :victory:
You are awesome for this forum. Thanks for everything.
If you still want the log I get, but I think with everything working, you guys should already know the outcome.
This is the Unofficial CM12 for the HTC One XL thread!
Project status so far is working!! I've been running it for 2 days now and have had no FC's. Some apps seem to run a little slow but equivalents run fast so it's a per app issue and not Android 5 per se as Dalvik is gone and libArt is the main runtime. Otherwise it seems very very fast even compared to KitKat!
It includes all the expected functionality from CM and I've also added Apollo into the build!

Oh my god it is real I thought we'd never get lollipop...thank you so much I'll give it a try as soon as i won't risk bricking my device. Thanks again for making it possible
Holy $#!t is this real life?? Thank you based devs.
Look forward to hearing from the brave that flash this. Cant risk killing my phone even though I really want to.
edit- decided to go ahead and flash lol. It did not get past the boot animation first boot, rebooted once more without getting past. 3rd time it got to the optimizing apps screen but rebooted about 4-5 times before it could finish getting through all of the apps. Finally made it to the setup page but it just continually shows an error something like "nfc service has stopped". cant get through the setup pages before it reboots again though.
edit#2. tried flashing without gapps and the screen went black for about a minute after attempting to boot with no led showing while plugged in, wouldnt reboot holding down power for 15+ second. thought i may have taken the dreaded trip to brick city. finally got it to reboot. just thought id mention for those thinking of trying it out just for a preview.
My setup was: TWRP v2.8.1.0, HBOOT 2.18. Did a full wipe, factory reset then flashed ROM+GAPPS.

Same exact setup here, same exact results. Five or so bootloops and tries to optimize 77 apps at boot, then 33, then 12, then 6, and then it will boot GApps intro with constant NFC failure. Can't get farther than "Your tablet is set up and ready for use." So far so good though.

AS the last 2 comments, it doesnt boot.
Yep same for me! So, next build will not have NFC in or Camera (camera will come from Gapps so should still be OK though) and then I'll be a guinea pig again and see if it works.
I'm running TWRP 2.8.1.0, firmware 3.18 with hboot 2.18 and the rest on defaults.
It does look nice though and once you get past the optimizing bit it boots pretty fast actually...
Updated download link to version from this morning. It's not bricking anything (yet!) so you can now get through the CM setup wizard and get to launcher (after a few FC's...) and then it aborts in a SQLite DB connection initializing the alarms service.
I'm not ruling out that it's a SELinux issue with permissions but need my phone again for the moment so will test again later!
Logcat from .0.0.2
From my past experience these helped more than just saying what was the issue. But i have not been active in the testing world for a while :X
Anyways... flashed 0.0.2 with gapps alpa, hboot 2.18, twrp 2.8.1.0
The rom boots (restarts while optimizing gapps a few times) then i have to race against the clock to set up usb debugging because once Calander.apk crashes it reboots.
as most alphas, no gsm service, wifi dose not start, location services crashed for me once, but no longer getting nfc issue
hope it helps
*nogapps.txt was a fresh install with no tinkering at all and obviously with out gapps.

First of all thanks a lot for bringing lollipop to this device.
I flashed the rom and after various bootloops when i finally got through the setup it is constantly rebooting itself say after 2 minutes after staying on. I think it's happening with everyone, still it's awesome.

Hi,
thanks for the logs and yeah they fail where mine does too. Did you try a permissions reset from recovery by any chance? The radio basically isn't initializing properly and the alarm backend is crashing on SQL access so those 2 together seem to be bringing the devices down...
no go

I also get that. Maybe try fixing permissions immediately after flashing, before booting?
Plus, you really gotta let it sit and bootloop a couple times, before GApps start.

for me twrp says it can not fix permissions after a factory reset and to boot the rom 1st, and then i wait until all gapps load (until i can see the set up page) before i fix perm.
right now im on a windows 10 computer so i cant get logcats, but once i boot into ubuntu ill attach them for the after fix permission bootloop.

Yeah this mount "error" is because they are mounted in recovery and the updater script wants to mount them itself... Can be ignored.
I'm building a new version today to test and will upload soon. Previous builds from last week didn't boot properly at all (no screen) but I was trying different proprietary libs so probably balked it. I've redone that now and am building again so will upload once complete.
Well, current builds have gone backwards. The CM logo never even comes up and it just loops continuously. Will post more when I have more! The latest is uploaded to my Android file host listing...
Hey there!
Sorry for creating a pull for asking help first, but I've been messing around the forum and Google with no results.
The thing is: I have a Motola Moto G 2013, it works pretty fine. Some time ago I'd like to try CM 12.0, and everything went okay. I didn't need to install the GApps cause, don't know why, it already has Play Store and Google Services, so, no problem.
Some days ago my phone started to work PRETTY bad, and reading in the web found that CM 12.1 were released, so i thought "lets give it a try"
CM 12.1 installed well, but without any GApp, so started to search the GApps packages. Tried with many of them, Pico, Nano, Stock, from april of this year, may of thies year, even from july this year! But none of them worked. When Android starts (after GApps install) appears a windows that says that a factory reset is needed. After that, starts the nightmare. Constantly, really constantly, appears two windows "Play Store has stopped" and "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and after that, like pressing the "Ok" button10 or 15 times, almost every time, it gets on black and only can power off and restart,
As I could, went to settings > all > and cleaned and stopped every google service. When I made that the device perdormance goes pretty much better, but when try to acces mi gmail o opening play store, again, the same.
I thought that changing the recovery would do some change effect. Tried with CWM (the one i had from before), Philz Touch and now the latest version of TWRP (the one that looks like Material Design), with no effects. And finally, tried with other ROM. I downloaded AOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-android-source-project-t3060704 but again, gapps error. Also tried with blisspop, but couldn't install it, it was like 4 a.m. and my mood wasn't good for keep trying.
Before you ask, yes, I made every goddamn wipe before and after the install (after only dalvik and cache partition)
It's like no matter what ROM, no matter what version of GApps, the doesn't work. I've been like this from two days ago, and really, the different options are starting to vanish.
Sorry again for creating a topic for this, but is this, or throwing the PC and mobile above the window.
And, also, sorry about my english, I'm from Argentina.
If you need more details, like Recovery versions, GApps versions, screens, anything, ask 4 it.
Cheers and thanks!
