Agree Dave. A couple of lamers (bella incl) should not cause a dev thread to be locked. Although gtg is off fixing an issue and chose to take down the link for a bit, there are still ppl that could benefit from healty rom related conversation. Bella and a couple of other bella fanclowns have already indicated they're chomping at the bit to go to the SGS2. Good thing I am not moderating... Lol. I would have already helped them along with a ban from the infuse forums.

If only I were a mod.... someone hand me the BANHAMMER!!! GRRR!!!! haha
[Samsung Infuse 4G] StoneColdCarl:
Agreed. I browse other threads too just to gain more knowledge, and I have never seen such users. This kind of thing is embarrassing, honestly. Honestly, they all stopped after getting a warning from the mod, but one specific user started the whole mess again by calling out Bella. So thank you to that user for ruining it for everyone.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] SNadler:
I agree 100%

There was no way to learn anything anymore.

I do agree that Neo should have and still should suspend the privelages of the habitual offenders. There are people who legitamately have problems and would like to discuss them in a respectfull manner and interact on an intelligent level. My kids and myself included!

The few bad apples ruined it for all! I feel bad for gtg and the others that work with and support him. He worked hard to make a test rom and got slapped in the face again by the people that clutter his thread with useless garbage.

There has got to be a better way! :mad:
[Samsung Infuse 4G] 00mred00:
most of which that didn't even try the test rom :(
[Samsung Infuse 4G] welchertc:
I really hope they all leave for the sgs2. Either that or at least that they end up getting banned from here. I can't believe how ungrateful they are for the work that gtg and others are doing. This kind of crap never happened in the captivate forums, so I hope it dies out quickly so the devs can get back to doing what they're best at. I know that if all of the trolling stops that they will be able to bring us greatness very soon. Neo...start swinging that banhammer! =]
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rohit3192:
Do not know but I have a gut feeling that when some members who have problem with gtg's rom leave this sub-forum we will see many more roms apart from much better (coming) gtg's rom:D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] beatblaster:
My faith rests in Operation Iron Fist. Show us how it's done Neo. Pretty please.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] apallohadas:
If you want to see a more harmonious section then stop the mudslinging.

Creating a thread to say how 'awful' Bella is really isn't much better than Bella's complaining.

So now we have 2 threads *****ing about Bella and neither does anything to improve the rom/phone or even discuss the rom/phone.

Let's get 300 pages of 'yeah you suck' going because that will make things better? No, it won't, and let's not.

I don't agree with the way Bella handled himself but I don't see any good coming of the folks acting like kids as a response.

Just let these threads die so we can get back to normal and telling people "Read the first post" type stuff k?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MattSoRaven:
I don't post much, but read a lot and loose a lot of time reading these fights like everyone else. I like the idea of a reserved **** talk thread(in the general section). I will start.

WHY DUN I KNOW HOW TO FLASH ROM??

WHY DOES MY BATTERY SMOKE A LOT OF WEED ON THIS ROM???

SGS2 HAS LIKE 60 ICE CREAM SANDWICH THEMES ALREADY. WHY NO FOR ME

AFTER 5 YEARS OF HAVING AT&T I STILL DON'T KNOW THAT THEY AREN'T THE FASTEST IN MY CITY

HITLER THEME DON'T WORK ON THIS ROM??

Hello all,

is there a custom rom with android 2.2 or higher with netfilter support available for SE Xperia X8? Netfilter support is needed for firewall apps (e.g. Droidwall) to work. Is anybody working on this?

Thank you

[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
First off i wish to apologize to everyone...I had no idea that this will bork your 4g and i have been working almost non stop trying to get it fixed but i am afraid it is beyond the scope of my reach. I honestly feel that it is indeed similar to the original evo unlock with the loss of rsa keys and i am trying to figure out a way to backup and restore said keys. i know there is a tut for the evo but different file system and structure so its' going to take some digging.

WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO UNLOCK

Unlocked SBF

FASTBOOT

WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF FASTBOOT

Download the Unlocked SBF and flash with RSDLite like you would any other SBF

After flashing the unlocked sbf you will need to turn off your phone to put the phone in fastboot mode(hold vol down while pressing power then once you see fastboot press the volume up)

Using your cmd promt cd to your fastboot(example: cd c:\android-sdk\tools\moto-fastboot directory)and Run “moto-fastboot oem unlock”

You will see

C:\Data\Sunfire\HW\Security_Tokens>fastboot oem unlock

... INFOUnlocking your device can permanently VOID your warranty.

INFOThis process cannot be reversed. If you wish to proceed,

INFOreissue the unlock OEM command containing the unique ID

INFOof your device: ########### (device generated ID will appear in this like not number signs)

OKAY [ 0.002s]

finished. total time: 0.002s

Using the UID provided above. Run the below command.

Run “moto-fastboot oem unlock ###########

NOTE: DO NOT reset phone between commands.

When you power cycle the phone “unlock” will be seen on start up screen (Red Moto logo)

[SYSTEM.IMG FOR UNLOCKED DEVICES ONLY] {YOU WILL LOSE DATA AND YOU HAVE TO BE OK WITH THAT BEFORE USING THIS METHOD}

Once you're booted you will need to regain root by any of the working methods in other threads or by flashing a system.img (THE IMG IS INSIDE THE RAR JUST EXTRACT IT)in moto-fastboot created by the2dcour, then getting superuser.apk from the market.

0) Make sure your phone is charged.

1) Boot your phone in to fastboot mode, connected to PC.

2) At the prompt/cmdline type moto-fastboot flash system system.img

3) Make sure you have superuser app installed from market.

4) Enjoy!

Instructions ganked from the2d...YOINK!

[DO NOT FLASH THIS SYSTEM.IMG IF YOU ARE NOT UNLOCKED]

I recommend this method of gaining root as it is much easier than previous methods.

want to thank edgan and the2dcour for all their hard work and help with releasing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and of course he who remain nameless...TYVM FINE SIR!

[Motorola Photon 4G] Whosdaman:
Known as Whosdaman

I started developing 5 years ago for the HTC Vogue. I was one of the most well known developers for that particular device. I created the diamond theme rom and was the first developer to successfully port Manila 2D to the Vogue.

I then began working with NFSFAN on OpenGL drivers for windows mobile for the Vogue. We came close, but never got it stable enough to be usable.

After that I ported the entire leaked HTC Mega ROM to the Vogue and has it running without bugs in under a day. After that I went to Android and retired from development until the Motorola Photon 4G. I announced this would be the first device I would publically develop for.

[Motorola Photon 4G] John Kotches:
Yay and all the brave testers...

Thanks for the work...

Only "issue" I had was a little trouble getting it into fastboot to flash the initial SBF.

Pull the battery, insert the battery, hold down power and vol down until you see fastboot, then volume up to kick off the actual fastboot mode :)

Woo hoo.. installed superuser and terminal emulator to validate. Ran su, got # prompt and checked id. At 0/0.

Kudos.

So now, it's fastboot up and install calkulins recovery and we have a custom recovery based on CWM.

Super schweet!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
not needed...just need to install superuser.apk from market as all the rest of the work was done by flashing the system.img
[Motorola Photon 4G] nunyabiziz:
Yes you are correct, those steps were if he can not flash system.img for root.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
And nobody so far ever mentioned that you need to add the .exe extension to moto-fastboot...

I was pulling my hair out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] aaron130:
Thanks ALOT guys I really appreciate all your help!! Now How do I check to make sure Im rooted? Also are there any good Roms to try yet? Ohhhh I gotta flash Caulkins recovery now correct? And ONe last question, when we do flash roms do we flash them like we did with HTC or do we have to use that RSD all the time?

Or evn flash via terminal
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
you can flash roms via recovery method...in fact i recommend to never touch an sdf unless it comes from me or another member of the team...otherwise you will risk bricking your phone or even worse...losing unlock!

no it must be flashed with rsdl

dl and extract this then copy to your fastboot directory replacing existing

Just FYI, the 32-bit fastboot worked fine for me on Win7 64-bit. It was installed into the 32-bit section (i.e. Program Files (x86) )

I get the exact same message after extracting this file to the fastboot directory and trying to run it :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
That's where I have it too...

are you populating the >before moto-fastboot? if so stop doing that

Remove battery, insert battery and hold Power + Vol Down and see if that helps.

nope, I open the command prompt, just type moto-fastboot oem unlock, and get the 64 bits incompatibility message...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
ok you need to be out x86 environment and just run it from c drive...make a folder called fastboot and put the exe i gave you along with the dll's into that folder open cmd promt with admin priv and type cd c:\fastboot

them at the next prompt that should be c:\fastboot type fastboot devices

if your device is listed run fastboot oem unlock
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
It failed at the final stage of SBF now when I do power vol down it goes into fastboot
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
now press vol up and it should enter fastboot protocol
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I ran cmd as a admin and still getting the compatibility error

I did replace the fastboot from the op with the one you put in the page before this one
[Motorola Photon 4G] jglee311:
Dumb question....but I don't know the answer so, how do you get into Calk's recovery? I have already flashed it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Did exactly as you instructed, created c:/fastboot directory, put the 64 bits moto-fastboot in there along with the DLLs of the moto-fastboot previously in the OP, opened a CMD in administrative mode, went to c:/fastboot, ran moto-fastboot, same Windows message.

Even tried on another Windows 7 Home Premium (that's the only version I run at home, don't have Ultimate) 64 bits PC, same exact thing.
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Looks like I'm not the only one with this issue anymore...
[Motorola Photon 4G] enigmatl:
Question on first step.

Sorry. How exactly would one flash any other SBF? What if one never flashed an SBF? I've rooted many a phone but this step just seems ambiguous unless I missed something.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
this was tested and working on a 64bit system
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
damn 64-bit systems :p

seriously though am I stuck at the fastboot protocol screen or can I pull battery and boot back like normal?
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Could it be that the people having this issue are running Home premium and the people who don't are running Ultimate (or Enterprise) ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
i have been going thru so many posts and i do apologize but can you please tell me what steps you have done and where you are stuck?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
i dont think that matters
[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
I don't think so either but I've now tried on 2 different PCs here at home, both running 64 bits Home Premium (both Core i7 processors), and getting the same incompatibility message as AJC...

There has to be something there other than user error...
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
Okay guys figured it out. Don't worry if the OP says 32bit when you download it just do as juggs instructed for me. I re-dowloaded the OP then did as instructed and boom my **** is unlocked...THANKS TITS....I mean juggs :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
And life is good! Lol
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
I was just gonna say, im on 64-bit W7 and I had zero issues, even though it said 32-bit when I downloaded
[Motorola Photon 4G] FrameCityJackal:
I went through all the appropriate steps only thing that was screwing me was the wrong fastboot file. I replaced the original one with the one in the other page.

Also I'm not seeing the signal bars turn blue it stays grey :confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikeyinid:
are you signed into google?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
So is the procedure still the exact same as described in the original post? What extra file are you talking about?

I'd like to see a video on how to do this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:

[Motorola Photon 4G] e-motion:
Well, the only way I could get moto-fastboot to run was to borrow my gf's 32 bit Windows 7 PC. I am now unlocked and flashing the system.img to root. Next step : install recovery.

Thank you!!

Thanks dude!! Coming from the EVO, where I felt like a pro at this....I feel like I'm learning how to walk again. :)

nope wouldn't let me and forgot to.

now I'm trying to install calkulin's recovery should I have installed super user first?

can someone make a youtube video about how to do this im getting frustrated with this im new to this im sorry but nice work guys now im taking a nap tired of trying :confused:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Yay 4 Juggs:
start by downloading the sbf from the original post...then download and install rsdlite from link in original post...seeting a pattern here?...

once file is downloaded extract it to somewhere you will easily remember...lauch rsdlite and click on the little button that has these ... on it...that will launch a file explorer...navigate to the location of the sbf then select open...

from there power down your phone completely then power back on while holding the vol up button on the right hand side of the device...that will enable rsd protocol on your device....

once you see that screen on your phone go back to rsdlite and verify that it is listed...will say se flash on the left hand side of rsdlite if you see it there then press start and wait...this method will fail on purpose...when it does just unplug your phone and take the battery out...put the battery back in...hold the vol down button while pressing the power button...that should put you in fastboot...if you see"fastboot" at the top of your screen press the vol up button wait for it to say fastboot protocol...once that is done plug the phone into the computer via usb and run fastboot intructions outline in original post.
