Ok, um. You have a really early leak build of ICS from Moto, but you didn't want to use it because it's buggy and the developer was talking to you in a parking garage aka deep throat, you used the Kernal from ePrinters leak, which revealed that the kernal was nothing more then the Xoom kernel. So right now I assume 1 driver isn't up to snuff to be a release unless you know the dev is planning to leak a new build with in the day.

Also - I assume Squirrel = Yes
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Yah, I got that, been around here a while (just not necessarily posting up a storm over the years). ;)

As with all Cyanogenmod stuff, I'll stick to the rule to not ask for release dates or timetables, and I'll be happy whenever something does happen to get dropped, and that's all I have to say about that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] fester30:
Either that or Squirrel meant he was trying to distract you with furry cuteness, but obviously it didn't work. Way to play detective and blow the whole game. Now everybody knows about deep throat in the parking garage!
[Motorola Photon 4G] demonotaku:
It's the oldest plot device in movies, even family guy did a parody of it....Simpsons did it!
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
Hmmm, guess I'll take a stab at it, so there really was an ics leak for the photon (unbeknownst to us) to a certain dev, who has compiled it to working status besides 1 driver/bug related issue, so said dev is waiting for said driver (code name squirrel) to be released from the the higher up acorn (moto) to grace us with what we truly deserved from the get go????
[Motorola Photon 4G] demonotaku:
The Candy man Can...
[Motorola Photon 4G] tatperson:
I have it running on my ATRIX, and I see no reason why Motorola doesn't want to improve and release it. The only problem I've had was with the boot animation (black screen) and the camera (visual artifacts). It feels fast too.

Sent from that Atrix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Squirrel

Squirrel

That would be more action than I had in the last year and nearly half, sadly. Also, yes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] devize:
Well seeings as cybik says he can't reveal anything about the kernel I'm assuming someone has given it to him and said he isn't allowed to share it otherwise they'll get in trouble. Happened with the Atrix and early GB leaks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ericdabbs:
Cybik. Does the combination of the Atrix ICS leak and the recent source code release of the Japanese Photon 2.3.5 with Wimax code/libraries?? help with bringing Wimax support for CM9 and CM10 releases? That is one thing I miss when I upgraded from stock to CM9. Since Sprint 3G is still crappy in most areas, I need to rely on WiMax in areas that I can.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
NO. just forget about wimax. you will never get it on an unlocked bootloader unless a special bootloader gets leaked from motorola. even then don't count on it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
My bro.

Also I can't test **** about WiMax anyway. I'm in GSM territory.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Trimod:
Question

Can we install leaked in the future (if it would) ics rom to locked with OTA bootloader ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
I believe Motorola leaked ICS to the Atrix in response to the growing protest by their customers. We have to keep the pressure on them! They purposefully locked our bootloaders and they are the only ones who can unlock them. If we keep on blogging and keep filing formal complaints then they will unlock our bootloaders, whether officially or unofficially in the form of another leak. I think our protest is working but we can't let this small release pacify us. They don't want us to make too much noise because it doesn't look good. If you are stuck on the 2.3.5 update and you want your bootloader unlocked then you have keep making noise.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Nope. MotoDEVS probably leaked the build to counter an idiotic management decision. Blogposts and *****ings acheive only publicity and encouragement for leakers to leak stuff. MotOFFICIALS don'T give two sh!ts and a rat's a$$ about your blogs :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
hey cybik,

can you tell us this leak and your secret sauce will solve our hwa related ics/jb problems? what's your experience with your build? is this leak useful without your kernel? thanks in advance.
[Motorola Photon 4G] cybik:
Without the secret sauce, the olympus leak is more or less "not useful in the least". I know, I tried with an older kernel. Bugger won't even boot.

And just so you know: I played Bad Piggies and Riptide GP this morning. SWEETNESS.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mophouser:
I know its still way early in development but is there any hope for it working on 2.3.5 ota update?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
We need an unlocked bootloader for that, so probably not without a leak.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mophouser:
Well at least I got an answer. Even though I hate that answer.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tonitox2:
If this was Robocop 2, I'd be the guy that shoots the fellow at the press conference shouting "NUKEEE NUKEEEE!!!!" but instead of that.. "LEAAAK.. LEAAAAAAK!!!'

- best news all year round I read. cannot wait till you do what u gonna do cybik. *back to lurk mode*
[Motorola Photon 4G] jreuschl:
Was the Atrix 4G bootloader locked after a recent update, like the Photon, and could help us to unlock it?
[Motorola Photon 4G] aywwts4:
Exactly, Could you imagine working on ICS diligently for months, coding, debugging, fixing, merrily, only to get your work ****canned without ever seeing the light of day. I'm surprised motorola isn't leakier with so many pissed off, month's of work thrown away and getting fired employees.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lightsword1942:
I think the locked ones for the Atrix 4G are mainly warranty replacements, I don't think there was an OTA that permalocked them like the Photon exactly. As with the Photon 4G, without a leak we are unlikely to be able to unlock the Atrix 4G.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
RockTheHellOn...

Lol quoted too soon .. read the entire thread and it is exciting ...
[Motorola Photon 4G] 98Slowstang:
was this leak acquired through the cheesecake app or something else, im just wondering because im thinking if i should be looking in cheesecake now for a update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Nobody has admitted anything so far, and honestly I don't care. cybik stated he believes it had to have been done by Motorola devs themselves for various reasons (mentioned earlier in this thread) so, I would tend to stick with his beliefs more than anything else.
[Motorola Photon 4G] tatperson:
Nope. Flashed and still unlocked.

Sent from that Atrix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MIONS:
But it worked i mean the ics even u still unlocked?
[Motorola Photon 4G] murrun:
epinter's thread deleted. Now this is interesting.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cooldevil1989:
He is Atrix user... not a Photon user...
[Motorola Photon 4G] tatperson:
Yup. Epinter's thread and his posts from days ago got deleted, something feels weird. I think this thread should be locked and deleted as well.

Sent from that Atrix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jreuschl:
Would Motorola have asked for the thread to be taken down if it was an official leak?
[Motorola Photon 4G] MIONS:
If it was official i think they must say to take the credita for it not the dev.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
This is infuriating... Wow Moto, you really are a piece of work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
It may not be Motorola behind this recent censorship. Believe it or not, this may have to do with the fingerprint scanner that the atrix uses (which we don't have.) Either way, I just made a thread under the XDA General section to try and get some more information about this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] manybreak:
Well , all we have left is to wait and see what's gonna happen
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Doesn't matter I suppose, the code is out, it's all over the place, I have multiple copies stashed myself with checksums and whatever so, they're welcome to raise all the hell they want but, it's out of the proverbial box and it sure as hell ain't going back in. ;)

If we get something useful from it for the Photon, fantastic, if not no big deal, I can sell it without issues, didn't cost me a cent anyway.

But Motorola won't be getting any more of my money, even if Google happens to be the primary party responsible for this whole ICS fiasco in the first place. Think I'll just stick with Samsung devices from now on - at least till they do something equally stupid to piss the consumers off then I'll jump ship to yet another. :(

Edit:

Hey everyone,

The thread was deleted because epinter asked me to delete it. We received a takedown request from a company (not Motorola) which claimed that there were proprietary files illegally hosted in those links. I am not able to verify the validity of such a concern. The person that made the request was referred to the proper authorities at XDA. I am a lowly forum moderator.

Right now, I will hold off closing, unapproving, or deleting threads from XDA as a result of those messages. I did not remove epinter's thread as a result of the takedown request. I removed it because epinter wished me to do so. Traditionally, I delete threads when the OP asks me to get rid of them. The appropriate XDA authorities will review this matter.

Carry on folks! If required to do so, I'm sure the higher ups at XDA will take down what is necessary.

doesnt anyone know how to host a file at various webhosting sites and stash teh link in a named anonymous pastebin anymore? :P
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
The leak was more of a working folder dump (minus source) than your typical leak. From a legal standpoint, the leak contain a lot of things it shouldn't. The ROM's based on the leak do not have a number of img files or other files so most likely the offending files are not present.

I had it and very quickly dumped it once I saw what was in there for a number of reasons.
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
So, someone answer me this rather stupid question, and I've searched around but never saw this precise question actually posed:

Did Motorola ever initiate an ICS soak test for the Photon and were there ever any actual Motorola provided ICS soak test builds released, to anyone?

I'm pretty sure the answer is simply "No" but, I wanted to ask it once and for all to get it out there so I know absolutely positively that the Photon never even had a chance... which really sucks considering it's basically a little over 1 year old now, still well within that 18 month 'guideline' they were apparently trying to umbrella these devices under.

As stated in other threads, if this leak - whether it has "good stuff" or "secret sauce" in it or not - can help us get ICS working fully on the Photon, I say it should be used but that's just me. If I were as fluent in creating ROMs as most of you devs are/have been, I would have already cooked something up myself, that's for damned sure. ;)

Been said many times before by most everyone with a Photon: would be nice to have a complete ICS working on this thing once and for all. I would probably like JB too but, of the builds I've been testing I keep having issues so I just decided to go back to plain old pure stock 2.3.4 and will leave it that way till something hopefully interesting happens.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
a simple No on any of our Tegra phones
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
For months I've been running the latest roms based on CM9 and CM10. Just about two weeks ago I concluded that having access to Google Now was not as important as having a stable Google Maps program. Its dangerous to be driving using maps for guidance when the program blanks out on you. I've since switched to Peetr's 2.3.5/CM7 Hybrid (v20) and I cannot be happier. I forgot how great the battery life was in 2.3. I'm staying on GB until we receive a stable ICS/JB because what is the point of having cutting edge features if they aren't stable?

With that said, Th3Bill and Jokersax have done a wonderful job bringing 4.0+ to the Photon 4G. Its a great demonstration of the power this phone has but I need stability. Maybe I'll revisit Android 4.0+ when the bugs get worked out but the way I see it, by that time I'll be sporting a new nexus phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
What is the big deal within the leak? Looks fairly plan jane to me.

Did find an odd mention of ubuntu...
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
do you have the full 2GB leak or just a ROM leak? The "That ROM" is missing a lot of files.
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
1.5 gig-ish

Ran a simple "strings" of the binary images, and mounted the things that could be mounted.

Probably over my head. But like to tinker.

/xbin or /bin files that don't belong? Still digging.
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Yah, I think that's the one ROM I was running the past 2 days, the cybik CM7 one, not sure where the "v20" part comes in, if you can link me to that one I'd appreciate it. The last one I installed was cm-7-20120923-NIGHTLY-sunfire.zip because I got a lot of FCs using the 9/30 build. It seems like it might not be the same ROM you're speaking of, however, so I'd like to try that one if you can point me in the right direction.

I honestly don't care anymore what particular version of Android I use since they all provide the same functionality overall to me, and I don't load up 100+ apps or whatever on this device. In fact, I use it primarily like a PMP more than anything else. :)

Thinking about that $30/unlimited data + text/100 mins talk plan with T-Mobile, however.

---------- Post added at 06:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

The full leak is 1.77 GB (1,901,962,286 bytes) with 4 folders and 24 files when decompressed, just for the record.
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Ahh gotcha. Didn't wait for it to finish calculating.

I think he's getting Peetr's hybrid rom mixed up with cybiks
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Soooo is it possible to flash the boot.img to our devices? That is the kernel right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Ok, that somewhat makes more sense because I saw "hybrid" someplace when I was scrolling through the dev forum, will see what I can find with that one and perhaps give it a go.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
hmm.. i took a skim through it when i first got it and didn't see anything unusual.. must have skimmed too fast. now i'm curious :P if only it was on my computer and not my friends.. :eek:
[Motorola Photon 4G] PavelPerm:
When will the firmware for Photon leakage for the Atrix? Is it worth waiting for?
[Motorola Photon 4G] NishantM:
Well, there is a reason it is called a LEAK. It can happen, or may not. Now a days, even the final version doesn't have an ETA, so forget about the ETA on leaks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] festing:
So，what‘s the situation now？Can photon get some benifit from the new kernel？？？
[Motorola Photon 4G] Equalizir:
Your talking about Peetr_ hybrid 2.3.5 rom. It's deblurred and has elements of cm7. It's the most stable rom for the Photon.I've been running it for months.version 20 is the final release cuz Peetr_ switched phones recently.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bock Abrams:
I'm sure it can, but it's still in the hands of the devs, if there was a major breakthrough to where there's anything semi stable for end users, it'll be plastered all over this board. Sit tight and have patience.
[Motorola Photon 4G] sub2k1:
I'm terribly sorry, I've mixed up my devs. I'm running Peetr's rom at the moment (he has the hybrid.) I hope Cybik can forgive me for confusing them especially since his CM7 deserves equal amounts of love. I was running Cybik's CM7 (9/23/12 release) for about two weeks. It was very stable but I was curious about Peetr's rom so one day I decided to flash it and I fell back in love with my photon. The battery life is just wonderful. I do miss some things from 4.0+ roms like the live speech-to-text input but it all comes back to stability. I just feel that 2.3 roms are far more reliable than their 4.0+ counterparts.

[Motorola Photon 4G] moisaal:
are u serious. NO ETA's !! especially on LEAKS!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] R2DeeTard:
I'd like an eta on when people are going to stop asking for eta's...
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
It makes me think it's possible because only a few hours after this Atrik leak appeared, cybik already had a working JB ROM on his dev Photon that was using parts from the Atrix leak; he even posted shots of it up and running as well. Of course, he did state he had some "secret sauce" with it (probably the kernel) and wouldn't be releasing any of it, unfortunately.

So... yes, it's entirely possible to do it, but as for the hardware for the Photon being 100% ready to go across the board that's questionable. cybik did state there were issues with the RIL, and others as well so, I believe - that's my personal belief - that given time and the leak, if someone were dedicated enough to really tear it apart and focus on it, they could more than likely produce something useful for the Photon.

I put mine on craigslist earlier today and if someone buys it, so be it. If not, I'll keep it and see what happens but, I'm probably going to focus on Samsung devices from here on out.

This whole ICS fiasco has just soured me and many others to Motorola... :(
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
you got it all right. i'm in the same situation. i'm moving on to the Note II when it arrives. although it sucks because of the Exynos chip but it'll still be a half decent phone.

There might be a way to use some of the libs and modules from the olympus build. I tried booting the kernel and had no luck. It looks like the kernel from the CM10 build that theBill is doing might match. So in theory it should be simple to swap over the libs and modules.

already doing that, with some modifications.

radiocommunication doesn't work on the GSM part.
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
ril?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
Does it mean CDMA will work?...
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
I am guessing that he has no way to test CDMA. It really depends on which ril is being used. I don't believe that those are compiled from source for the photon. IIRC those are pre-compiled libraries or we would have removed the US carrier GSM block without having to use the KDDI ril.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Has anybody been able to test CDMA for you yet?
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
send it our way and we'll test and mess with the ril.
[Motorola Photon 4G] br0adband:
Since nobody seems to want to buy my Photon I went and got a T-Mobile SIM card today and just activated that $30/month unlimited web+text+100 mins plan in like 30 seconds so, guess I'll make use of it since I still have it. If someone decides to buy it I'll just keep the SIM and service for another device more than likely.

If any testing of GSM related radio work needs to be done for a proper ICS or even JB ROM based on that olympus leak, consider me game. ;)
[Motorola Photon 4G] atroph:
Ok quick question. Is there a way to see the kernel messages while the device is booting? I'm tooling around with moving the libs and such and it seems to hang.

[Motorola Photon 4G] Akhileshjj:
Hope you will achieve the required stability... Will be waiting for you to release it.. As of now decided to still stick to photon with cybik CM-7 as i use more camcorder ... Great going cybik.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jaemostoriginal:
lol its actually a pretty good phone. I actually do prefer google now over siri and i do miss some features from android but it kind of gets annoying having to get a new phone just because a certain update isn't going to come to my phone for w.e reason. where in iphone i know i'm gonna be getting w.e updates are coming even if they aren't ever really that big of a difference. i just grew extremely frustrated with the fact the a phone i purchased a year ago is already obsolete and since whenever i unlock my bootloader the phone seems to overheat and randomly reboot but when its locked its fine makes getting an official update that more important for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
iphones will most likely never be good. the only thing they have right is nice LCD screens. they need some major work on everything else. especially the OS. i hate apple. they make me furious.

you may have gotten one of those bad phones if it overheats and reboots a lot. mine has been perfect since day. no overheating no reboots except on a few alpha alpha ROMs from the beginning. official updates are the last thing i want :P i want custom ROMs (CM) and to be able to modify what i want how i want. i will admit motorola has never been good at unlocking phones, commercial radios and other junk they produce. they LOVE restrictions. they are as bad as apple. bleh.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xNicoyAx:
Cybik, do you, by any chance know if something that'll help us with the bootloader dilemma be leaked in the near future?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Bock Abrams:
Probably not, first off there is never an ETA on a leak, that's why it's a leak.

Secondly, most of this code was for the Atrix, there would be hardly any reason why there would be code pertaining to the Photon's bootloader.
