Mac OSX????

Got it working using Mac OSX.

Pretty much the same procedure, get into recovery, select 'update from ADB'.

In a terminal, get to your /android-sdk-macosx/platform-tools/ folder, then issue ./adb sideload c5ea6e959840.update_mysidspr_FH05_to_GA02.zip (give the zip is in the same folder as adb)

Hi there, first of all, THANK YOU very much for taking the time to both, post the guide and help us out via comments.

Then, I have fully followed the guide (via your link) and did everything (USB debug, unrooted, relocked, etc) and when I type the sideload command it starts sending it to the phone. Everything OK up to that point.

BUT when it tries installing it says installation aborted (it verified correctly) after saying "assert failed: apply_patch_check("EMC:/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/radio:10748160:57e and a bunch of numbers")

I?ve tried multiple times with the same result (even after clearing its cache from recovery)

Any suggestions?

Does this only apply to the nexus or could it be used on my photon q? I ask since all the methods to either flash roms or do anything once rooted require the boot loader to be unlocked which isn't possible with 2.3.5 so I'm stuck just being rooted and locked.

Look on the forum for your phone model. Sorry I couldn't help you no more than that
