actually i got the files long before beachhead posted em here, and was already on making them into a OCR for yall just was waiting on my testers in IRC ;)

no this wont install drivers automatically as i dont know if you have 32 bit or 64, my apologies but thats the one step youll have to do on your own ;P

as for installing superuser from teh market, you can but i strongly urge you not to. as when you do a factory wipe from settings or recovery etc then you lose superuser.apk (wipe cleans out /data) and as such you lose root, sure you can download it again but really its just easier to have it all the time in the system
[Motorola Photon 4G] aikata:
That was easy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MetsSFTF:
Worked for me, no problems at all

Good job and thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Yes, I have a 32-bit windows xp professional OS - where did those drivers come from btw? i.e. from the motorola site?

Thanks for the clarifications - so after running this - superuser will be there, and if I just need wifitethering - just download the wifiterther app and install?

Did you also mean from above, that if I "factory reset" via the photon's built in reset options - does that wipe out root settings and everything we did with your AIO package? And will the OTA update (MR-5) still stay in this situation or will have to be re-downloaded?
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
i got them from here on xda.

yup :)

no if you download superuser from teh market when you do a factory reset it wipes /data. which means your apps, data, settings etc are all gone. which would wipe out Superuser.apk.. meaning you would have no root, with this way you retain root after a wipe. and no, factory reset is a bit misleading it only wipes out user related stuff. if you mess up a system file it wills till be messed up, in fact think of it this way...

in windows you have a "windows" folder, its where teh os is. if you go in and delete a file or change cmd.exe to herpderp.exe then your gunna have some issues, putting my documents folders into the trash bin wont save ya ;)

TL;DR

my documents in trash bin = factory reset

sbf + rsdlite = windows install disk
[Motorola Photon 4G] mhguy15:
worked perfectly.

Worked Perfectly. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Anyone have another source for the drivers (64). Site is blocked (surprisingly the root file is not even with that url) and if i try to d/l it from my phone i get an error saying its not supported. uggg.

Thanks in advance
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
gimme like 10 mins,k ill upload onto my server, no idea on if it will unblock it, but ill throw them on mediafire as well

edit: OP updated :)

if someone could be so kind, i have some remount scripts in there that should help after youve rooted, in adb shell type in remount rw (or terminal emulator)

it should remount system as read/write.. just wanna make sure it works ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
Script worked well.

Not sure what to do on this one, but going back through adb i cannot gain su access as i get a permission denied.

Any ideas on that one?

p.s. thanks for the drivers
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
check superuser.apk it may have blocked adb if you didnt click allow when you sent su.
[Motorola Photon 4G] starpc:
@shabbypenguin - Who da man? You da man! :D Great Work
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Hey Shabby :)

So I installed the 32bit driver you gave me -

and extracted the package to c:\root

and set usb debugging, connected usb from phone to pc

and then ran root.bat -

* daemon not running. starting it now

* daemon started successfully *

Getting temp root

error: device not found

error: device not found

error: device not found

error: device not found

RE-boot-en

What am I doing wrong? The 32bit driver installation seemed to be ok but it said in the end that it could not make a shortcut to the application... it then completed, a series of beeps - but no windows prompt saying what it is, a few minutes later the driver software said successfully completed...

windows xp doesn't detect the photon - all my pc does is charge the photon via usb.

I tried connecting the photon USB to a USB hub and directly to my laptop(pc)

Am I supposed to copy/download/run the file (root.bat and contents) from the the photon itself?
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
not really sure on what to tellk ya as i dont have the phone and i dont have windows ;/...

from your post all i can say is windows isnt seeing it, how to go about fixing that.. ive no idea.. try reinstalling teh drivers as admin?
[Motorola Photon 4G] hayabusa1300cc:
im rooted!! very easy, I love one clicks!! Thanks for your time and effort [=
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
@anyone running windows xp? :

I am logged in as administrator... and this is windows xp professional 32bit...

* Was there any "creating shortcut" error when downloading and installing the 32 bit drivers? - it said installation was okay as I tried to launch the installer and it only gave me repair/remove options..

* Where do you extract the main files to? What directory? (is this extracted to windows or to the photon?

* Was the photon supposed to be recognized as soon as you plug it in? (mine is only charging)

this is the screen I am getting after entering USB debug mode, plugging the photon in, and trying to run root.bat from "c:\root"

:

* daemon not running. starting it now
* daemon started successfully *

[Motorola Photon 4G] :
Are your paths to adb setup correctly?
[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
Extract the root file and leave on your desktop. Plug the phone in to the computer and make sure usb debugging is selected and the phone is in charge mode. Now left click on the root folder and find the file with the words root bat somewhere in the title. Right click on that folder and select open. Then wait and it should start processing. It will take about 5 minutes but it should be working. U shouldn't have to start it via adb I didn't have to.
[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
I was having a darn hard time using this method from my mac it took me several hours so I gave up. I cheated on my mac and used my daughters windows xp computer and had it done in less than 15 min that includes downloading the exploit and drivers and running the process. Thanks again shabbypenguin for all your hard work. I will find the thanks button and will send u a donation as soon as I get paid.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
I did those steps as you had mentioned, and I am still getting this same error. usb debugging selected, phone is "on" and it shows that it is charging. Was windows supposed to "detect" the photon when connected via usb first? Is there a "charge mode only" setting?

1. installed 32 bit driver from link (running windows xp pro)

2. downloaded, extracted photon4g-ocr to desktop (folder on desktop is same name as zip)

3. I plug into USB on laptop >>> (windows does not detect a "new device connection" but photon is "charging"

4. from photon, applications > developer > USB debugging (said yes)

5. press home key once

6. go to folder and select root.bat (right click open)

7. waiting for prompts - and that's where the error message above shows.
[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
Select charge mode from the notification menu from the phone after its plugged in. I had problems with my mac where it didn't recognize it but my windows xp computer obviously picked it up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
Try plugging the port into another usb port on the computer
[Motorola Photon 4G] laraiza:
Im at work right now but ill try to answer u from time to time if I still have problems.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
No this isn't working for me - maybe something is not right when reading the readme or looking here... thanks for trying to help.

I tried installing the 32 bit drivers on a different machine (I have a HP Slate 500 tablet running windows 7 pro 32bit)

I downloaded the 32 bit driver and installed that, then went to usb debugging, enabled it, went to home -

Then downloaded the zip file, extracted to folder in desktop, and then plugged photon in, photon was charging - (win 7 didn't detect the device here) - then selected root.bat

and I am still getting :

* daemon not running. starting it now

* daemon started successfully *

Getting temp root

error: device not found

error: device not found

RE-boot-en

So this is what I got on both a separate windows xp pro 32 bit laptop and a windows 7 pro 32 bit tablet... I am definitely missing something.

Maybe a video tutorial?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Hmm.. how do you get to "charge" mode? Maybe that's what I am missing - I tried a different USB port and also from the post above this, on a windows 7 pro 32 tablet pc with no luck.
[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
sorry no idea on how to get to charge mode, but it still sounds like there is a drivers,phone connection issue
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
No, thanks shabby - I hope someone can put up a demo video on this... I tried this on 2 separate OS's and machines (xp pro and windows 7 pro, both 32 bit)
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1217040. Here is a how to video for a different root method. It will show you how to set up your computer. Then you can use this one click. To get into charge mode plug your phone into usb then pull down on top of phone screen hit usb, select charge only.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Hmm @bricky - when I pull the notification area from "home screen" - all I get are notifications on new messages and voicemail. I am dragging down from where the clock / signal / battery / date is - the very top. All there is an option to clear notifications... do I have to be in USB debug mode for this?

* edit, I tried pulling down the notification area with hand gesture down with both USB debug enabled and disabled while connected via usb - I don't see that option.
[Motorola Photon 4G] trevoc1:
Now that we are rooted are we unlocked? ? Or just rooted..
[Motorola Photon 4G] mikel719:
Just rooted until you unlock the bootloader.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Have you installed the drivers on your computer yet? When I plug mine in there is a usb sign in the notification menu, where it says clear notifications. When I touch it I get a box with 4 options.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Problem Solved and Rooted! - confirmed with root checker app from market. It was the USB Cable - I was using Sprint's car charger USB cable - and someone over at the motorola forum told me that I need to use the official motorola USB cable that came with the phone - so I did that and everything is working now - and shabby's script ran perfect.

Now all I need is the best wifi tethering application to connect to my tablet pc - any trustworthy ones that work for tablet based windows pc's?

This is the first time I came across USB cables not being able to work with data... is this common? The cable I was using before was the official one that came with the sprint car charger.
[Motorola Photon 4G] newbapotamous:
Can anyone confirm if this is working on the new update? Would read, but at work and on break. Only using my phone to check if it does. Thanks for any help.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sirscrubsalot:
Yes, it works as I did this. I did the stock sprint OTA update over wifi (MR1 to MR5) and then used this. I am now rooted and was able to tether using wifi tether from :

http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/downloads/list

Only thing, I can't get incoming voice calls during an active stream (video, loading a web page) but if there isn't anything happening, i.e. emailing or looking at a webpage - then it works. I was wondering if there was a way to force stop the tether when a call comes to take it. Also, GSM can do both - but still curious.

Using the latest beta as my tablet windows pc isn't detecting network on the offical android market edition.

if using windows for example : (this might be different on a mac or other os) :

1. Just download the appropriate driver 32/64 from the 1st post, install it.

2. Download the main file from the 1st post Extract folder to desktop

3. Plug in using the "Motorola USB Cable" or a USB cable that allows data transmission (for example, the sprint car charger cable DID NOT work)

4. Allow your OS to detect connection, then go to notification on home screen and select : "CHARGE Only"

5. From home, go to settings > applications > developer > enable USB Debugging

6. run root.bat from folder extracted from step #2 and then follow the commands.

7. you can check with root checker from android market.

8. you should be good to go!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mk3:
Didnt work on the first pass but the second time around it rooted just fine. Thanks!!!!

[Motorola Photon 4G] shabbypenguin:
AIO = All in one

since its mac/linux and windows :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] knightwolf123:
I like AIO (worked great btw) but....

do you think in the future there can be more included in the AIO?

for example a custom recovery installation.

I've read about the unlocked bootloader wich kills 4G (unless you go through hoops to keep it) but can a recovery be installed without unlocking the bootloader with the current techniqs

not afaik, and yea this is just version one.. i plan to work on it more as time permits

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
So I re-ordered what will be my fourth I9020A...had three in the past and the slow 3G data infuriated me, so I returned all to Amazon.

I have since bought another on eBay, new in box, and want to give this thing one last shot. I have done a lot of research since owning the previous units and think I'm at a point where I understand what needs to be done to make this thing fly on AT&T's 3G network: flash a new radio...

Here are what appears to be the two best radios to flash to. I need actual opinions from people who have used these two radios on their Nexus S I9020A.

KB3: Seems to be popular in Canada and outside of the US for fixing the slow KB1 radio speeds.

UCKE1 (KE1): This is the radio that the Best Buy AT&T official subsidized units ship with in the US, making me think it's the best radio for AT&T's 3G network (otherwise, why wouldn't they just use the KB3 if it's all that and a bag of chips?).

So, there you have it. Which is superior for speed on AT&T?

(I would try both on my own, but I haven't received the phone yet)...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmcquake:
I can't speak specifically for AT&T, but I am on Rogers (Canada) which uses the same 3G bands as AT&T.

The stock I9020a radio that ships with the phone is capped (both the US and Canadian versions) so that is why you are seeing slow 3G speeds. The best radio for the I9020a (in my opinion) has been the XXKD1 (not the UCKD1).

It's available here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1116884

Only other thread found http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=973034

We obviously have an unlocked bootloader and a host of options available for the phone, including CM7 which is in pre-beta, but what about ice cream sandwich?

I understand motorola PROBABLY won't release it, because they only recently released gingerbread, but does anyone know of someone willing to port it, once it's rolled out? or...anything?! :P
