[Motorola Photon 4G] portman:
if you can set aside some issues like

Connecting to Network dialog (about 3 min) when you restart the phone

then shows Hands Free Activation could not be completed

network goes to CDMA default

needs to set the mobile network every time after reboot to GSM/UMTS

WiFi refuses to turn on for a few minutes

this version is good

it has 1080 Video recording and some app stuff added

successfully rooted it with photon-torpedo.tar with the help of http://www.groovypost.com/howto/motorola-photon-4-g-how-to-root-your-phone/

will wait till somebody finds a way to fully unlock 2.3.5

thanks a lot guys for your help. I was little bit worried yesterday as I bricked my 2 weeks old phone by changing system font
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I do have a version for the 2.3.5. users. the first tests were promising so let me run a few more test and then we can get it up for everybody.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mrfordwrench:
I love this rom. Eveeything works. Only thing i have a problem with is when i tether, after a bit when screen blanks wifi goes to sleep and i have to wake the phone the stop and strart wifi tether again. Anyone know how to prevent this.

I'm new to the Photon world (helping a family member out with their device) but have been flashing things on my EVO LTE for a while now. Managed to get the device rooted, BSR'd, backed up and your ROM flashed. I'm a little unclear how to change the battery mode to performance. Can you point me in a direction to do some digging?

Thanks!

[Motorola Photon 4G] cantos:
*facepalm* Thanks. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] portman:
no man. I was telling that I am preparing to do the bootstrap recovery also!

at present I don't have much info on that app and getting more info from the Internet. If I did that before OTA, I wouldn't have ended up with locked bootstrap.

but you guys helped me to find a solution.

thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
To all the members that have been stepping up and helping each other out. I just wanted to say a big thank you. I have been working on several projects along with working 2 jobs and having 3 kids. So thanks guys for stepping up and helping out.

usb tethering?

hi i wanted to know if usb tethering is working on this rom? because in order for me to use this rom i have to sbf my phone so i can get back to stock 2.3.4 kernel, im currently on the deblur rom w/ 2.3.5 kernel. I love mofs rom i had it before and the only reason i left the rom was because my usb tethering wasnt working and the wifi tethering just isnt fast enough for as much as i use my tethering. i have to have usb tethering. so if someone can confirm the usb tethering working on the updated version of this rom i will switch. And mof if u need someone to test ur 2.3.5 version of this rom i will be more than willing to test it for u. that way i wont have to go through all the trouble just to get back to the stock 2.3.4 kernel. any feedback would be very appreciated. and mof keep up the amazing work
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Although I cannot confirm wether USB tethering works or not (I dont use it) I can tell you the wifi tething works pretty well and even on stock I felt wifi tethering performed better than USB. How are you tethering USB? I do appreciate the offer to test but the rom in mention is designed for users that have applied the OTA update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sk8rguy05:
i plug my phone into my usb port on my laptop and then i turn on usb tethering(i think thats what your asking) if just always seemed to get faster speeds with usb tethering. and i do alot of downloading stuff and i actually internet connection share my laptop connection to my xbox 360 for xbox live and the wifi just made it lag alot compared to the usb tethering. with usb tethering i never lag.in a speed test of both wifi and usb tethering, the usb tethering actually got 2x the download and upload speed of wifi tethering. if i could get that working on this rom i would definitely switch to it. i love this rom just afew things that i need before i switch and to know if usb tethering is one of them and the other is having to completely unroot my phone to stock and then rooting it again for the rom(which i have no problem doing cus i love this rom) but i cant do that if my usb tethering isnt gonna work on this. so the 2.3.5 rom only works on the new ota 2.3.5 kernel? it couldnt work with any 2.3.5 kernel?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Ok no biggie :-). Bootstrap is in the themes section I think. It's for the DROID 3 I believe is the one that works for us

Edit: here it is

Sent from my MOF'd up MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Ill look into the tething issue. yea the 2.3.5. rom is going to be for the ota update users(those on the 45.4.12.MB855.Sprint.en.US build). not sure if that will work on the kernel your running but if your unlocked it couldnt hurt.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
Are you trying to unlock? If you are just trying to flash this ROM, you just need to install that app and install the recovery within it and flash the mof zip from there. No fast boot

Sent from my MOF'd up MoPho
[Motorola Photon 4G] portman:
it was on OTA 2.3.5 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13 and I bricked it by applying wrong flashes.

now it shows only Failed to boot 2

will it charge in this state? if not I am in big trouble.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bullfrog527:
You should be able to charge with it powered off. You should also be able to get to the stock recovery and factory reset, but I'm not sure. You should look for similar issues in the q& a forum, I don't know what you should do from where you are

Hi, i have a photon 4g and so far iv tried cm7.2 cm9 and also the stock rom that came with the phone which was 2.3.5 198.6 i think but with all of them i get the same problem, i loose data at random times and the only way to get it back up is by restarting the phone. So far iv notice that when i loose data all my APN's dissapear too and that happens with the 3 roms iv tried so id like to know if that also happens with this rom? i must say that im using gsm not cdma cause im in venezuela
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
sorry I use CDMA so Im really not sure. Anyone know?
[Motorola Photon 4G] ryan8r:
Try flashing "Forceroaming.zip" from cm9 fixes and report back.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Uh60m Pilot:
I am using sprint on CDMA and I have had this issue a few times over the last 2 weeks. I am on the 2.3.5.ish ROM. I did not have this issue until I did the last PRL update. Currently I have not discovered the cause but it almost appears to be something with the battery/data saver mode. I will post more after I have the day off today to research it.

When you say backup your data do.u mean the 9gb internal storage or app data using titanium?
[Motorola Photon 4G] portman:
Changed it to 282 for better font size.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
No i mean the data partition. Just do a full backup through bootstrap.
[Motorola Photon 4G] hellot1M:
I deleted my question because i answered it lol

Jokers v3 recovery worked just fine for me. Anyways im trying to run cheesecake but its saying i need a motorola service something. Well i hit ok but when it tries to connect it stops and tells me that i dont have a data connection. I know this is a mistake but could this error be because im unlocked? Would i needed to be locked to use cheesecake?
[Motorola Photon 4G] arinlor:
Hey, for some reason my WIFI and 4g aren't working (the phone is still Locked). Any ideas to remedy this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
After 1 successful test for a new 2.3.5. Version on stock 45.4.12.MB855.Sprint.en.US of the rom I think we may open up for beta testing.

Requirements

Motorola Photon

45.4.12.MB855.Sprint.en.US or 45.4.13.MB855.Sprint.en.US System Version Stock

2.3.5. Android Version Stock

Root Access

Bootstrap Recovery Installed

I cannot test this on my own phone as I have 2.3.4. Android System and Im not locking my bootloader permanently for the sake of testing. But I would if I was on the software.

The responsibility is solely on the user!!!!!

I take no responsibility for hard or soft bricked devices!!!!!!

There is currently no way to return to stock via SBF for 2.3.5. users!!!!!!!

Any brave folks who want to give it a whirl PM me to enter a small control group.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
Wipe caches reboot.

Restore your backup, Wipe and try again?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I am unlocked and running this ROM successfully. Is it now possible to lock my bootloader and restore 4G connectivity without having to SBF back to stock, wiping and reflashing this ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes, there is no problem to make sbf for that. I am thinking about making new unlocking and relocking sbf.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Please do. That would be incredibly helpful!

Would it also work on your excellent hybrid ROM to get 4G?
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
This is not a thread to talk about my rom. No 4g there. It's based on Electrify. I will make some sbfs and post in separate thread, to make life easier.

Sorry for noob question, I'm on cm9 0.7.0 right now do I need to just flash vir 1.4 to try this out, I miss Netflix and webtop lol thx

[Motorola Photon 4G] partycove:
Ok I flashed the ver 1.4 and the phone for stuck saying Sprint tried reboot stuck again saying Sprint
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sham-rock:
You need to sbf back to stock, avoid the ota update once there, re-root, install bootstrap, reflash.

I got a question I'm one of the sprint photon user aciddentaly flash electrify usc sbf file.Currently I'm rooted and have a bootstrap recovery is it safe to flash this rom?

[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Yes, it is, but you will have to flash something more. But let's not spam this thread with that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xNicoyAx:
Been running this ROM since last night. Really like it, and how it's better than actually flashing the new OTA. One request is, can you pull the factory Swype and set it as a side download?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sham-rock:
Why not remove it yourself via titanium backup?
[Motorola Photon 4G] portman:
Works nicely on my phone.

But I miss Moto wireless and other toggle wigets. Is it possible to add those from somewhere?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bosox04:
you can grab the togglewidgets.apk from ver 1.2 or earlier rom zip in the /system/app folder.

And follow these directions-

[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Just an update to let everyone know this is still being supported. I recently had a unrecoverable brick will working in the SBF project. I had to get a replacement (I have an insurance plan. Thank god.). To my dismay when I received my replacement phone it already had the 2.3.5. Software on it. But I am a optimist and figure I can now work on some projects including a de blurred version of this ROM for users that have taken the update.

If you have any luck let me know ive tried all but the super dock root methods

can i Flash this over Jokers Skinny4g Rom?or do i have to retuen to stock before flashing?

thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
You can flash over the skinny 4g the updater script will erase the system so back up your data before flashing or you will lose it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bria5544:
Didn't work. The connections are still active but they won't transfer any data until reset. They are supposed to turn blue when data is being transferred but will stay grayed out and I cannot transfer any data until I reset at least the WiFi. I came from stock 198_7 that didn't have this issue. Thanks in advance for your help on this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] FC809:
If I'm not mistaken data being transferred doesn't have to do anything with it being blue. The icon being blue means background data (sync) is on.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I haven't seen this issue with mine data services such as wifi or 4g will turn off when the phone is asleep for a while but they return as soon as the phone wakes up. But thats the battery setting I mentioned. I dont have to reset any services. Maybe a bad flash. Have you tried reflashing the rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
still trying to get my phone to turn on the radio. I had flashed the 2.3.5 ota and tried your bootstrap since it seemed to be based off it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
What version of the ota update did you flash?
[Motorola Photon 4G] criptix:
the original one from moto i pulled with cheesecake....did u include 198_7 baseband in this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] texanman:
Badass!!! Thanks for the release. Flashed it and got everything working however I was worried about background data not working as mine did the same thing. Switched it to always on and added my gmail account then it started to work! If you had a link I would buy you a taco.

Edit:

Cant get 4g to work... Just gets stuck on getting ip address then disconnects. I am locked
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Your using the stock 2.3.4. kernel?

I love tacos. Haha!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Update up.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ChadH42:
I installed the 1.1 update (not the full ROM) and everything is working perfectly!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Glad everything worked out.

Which update did you apply udate 1 reboot or 2 reboot and recovery?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Any outstanding problems with this ROM now?

---------- Post added at 04:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:54 PM ----------

Should I wipe the dalvik cache before flashing this ROM?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
No major problems that I am aware of just the bugs listed in the first post.

No you dont have to wipe the dalvik cache the updater script will format the whole cache partition when its flashed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
Ok, thank you! I hope you can fix the voice commands. I find them very useful.
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
I'm really digging the rom, runs like a charm. I updated to 1.1 w/o wipe and I'm having no problems, the first boot worried me because it took so long but it finally booted up. Thanks for all the hard work. I would love to see battery percentages and volume to wake options added. That would make this rom perfect in my eyes.

Until Voice Commands are fixed you can try using Vlingo Virtual Assistant, it has many of the same features and more. Its free on the market. You can access it quickly by holding the "Search" button. It is a great app.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
The first boot after the cache gets formatted always takes a while.

Suggestions are always welcome.:)
[Motorola Photon 4G] WiredAnim:
Ya, I figured that's what caused the long boot :-) one other suggestion is a mobile data toggle in the notification area I'm using a widget now but having it there is so handy and saves so much battery.

Also just to mention this ROM has AMAZING battery life with or without data running!
[Motorola Photon 4G] sjamie:
I flashed this ROM and things are working well except for 3-way calls. If I am taking to someone and merge in another call, the 2nd call isn't connected to the conversation although the phone shows it is connected/merged. Regardless, I can't hear the 2nd person only the 1st person I was speaking to. I've done this three times with different people with the same results. I've never experienced this on the stock 2.3.4 ROM. Are any of you experiencing this?
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Baby steps at this point working on this 2.3.5. Is working with out a safety net. If I screw up I'm bricked.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Uh60m Pilot:
Just keeping the thread alive. Thanks for all you do. Yours is the only rom I flash!
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:

Sorry if this was reported already, but I'm having an issue where after a couple days without a reboot the music on my SD card can't be read by any music player. A reboot fixes it, but kind of a PITA. Anyone else having this issue? Other than that, nice work OP, and thank u.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rbeavers:
The only problem I've got is the universal mail box FC. And the app. Audible reboots the phone after 3 min. If the phone has not been rebooted for more than 24 hrs. It's files are on the phone.

Have you tried a different SD card?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Airwolf79:
No because the problem only started when I flashed this rom. It'll work perfect for a couple days, then all the sudden it won't read the card. Not a big deal really, I just need to reset the phone more.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Im sorry after you flashed the rom it worked ofr a few days or it stopped working when you flashed the rom?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Airwolf79:
I've been only on this rom for about 2 weeks now. I haven't flashed any other rom. The problem comes and goes. The music plays fine for a couple days, then all the sudden it won't play and says SD card can't be read. A reboot fixes it every time. Not blaming the rom, its possible my card could just be failing. Just wondered if anyone else was having the issue. I do use SD card booster app to increase read speeds. Could that be it? I'll try to disable it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
I never had an issue with the card being read while I was using the rom. Could also try backing up data and formatting the card then put your data back on.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Kasper31:
Help please.

I just got a Photon 4G and have been trying to install 2.3.5ish rom but keep getting the boot loop Dual Core screen. I have rooted the phone but left the boot-loader locked to keep 4G. My build number is 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6 and System version is 45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US.

So I am left wondering if my build number is wrong and is causing the boot loop as I have downloaded the roms multiple times and still end up at the Dual Core boot loop screen.

Thanks for taking the time to help me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sham-rock:
I have never heard of or had this problem, but I came from 198_7. You may SBF back to 198_7, re-root, then flash and it should work. If you do this, be sure to avoid the update that Sprint will try to push to you while you are re-rooting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mof9336:
Did you have any roms installed before this?

I am on stock 2.3.4 and I am rooted. How do I upgrade to this ?

[Motorola Photon 4G] Sham-rock:
Have you tried wiping caches manually in bootstrap before flashing? MOF set the script up to do this, but maybe it is not working for you for some reason. If this does not work, please post the steps you are following to flash it.
