Yeah, that's sounds like an outdated recovery issue. download rom manager and install cwm if you want to give that a shot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Yo can also get a status 7 if your phone is marked as a d2can. Some ROMs have a device check prior to flashing to prevent a brick. You have to install a recovery as a d2att and they'll flash.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
So, a few weeks ago my phone started acting weird. When I would open the keyboard, my screen would turn off. It did this for a few days, then it got worse. I couldn't even use my keyboard. Then, my screen would randomly start flickering... and now it just won't come on at all. The phone comes on, I can see the notification light blinking, but the screen won't come on at all.

I'm going to buy a replacement part for it, but I'm not sure if it's the digitizer or lcd screen. Anyone know which one it would be?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] CornholioGSM:
...at first...no digitizer, no display.

open the phone and check flex cable connection - maybe is poor connected.

If this not help then check flex cable.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
yeah i was thinking it could be the flex cable, but i haven't played with it much yet. maybe i will tonight and see if my flex cable is disconnected/bad... but i couldn't find any replacement flex cables (without a lcd display or digitizer) anywhere.

IF it was the lcd, what would the symptoms be?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] CornholioGSM:
check flex connection and let me know :)

Corn,

Can i post photo of my flex cable, to let know what you think if its broken or not,

the black coating of the cable were ripped off caused by the heat and friction to the metal clip and body,

often i play game application and while xt897 condition is heat i slide it to reply an incomming message,

and im about also to but the parts from etradesupply.com is it recommended or is there another supplier you recommend for xt897 flex slide cable, this damage also happen to my xt862 the previous year.

i'm confused how to release replace my flex cable
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tuxor1337:
Is there a tutorial how to replace the flex cable with front camera as selled by parts4repair? Or is it really foolproof?

It seems to me like I'm facing the same issues as described in the start post, only in an earlier stage of degeneration of the flex cable:

1. Suppose, the Photon Q is turned on and in operation. When sliding out the keyboard only some millimeters, the screen goes black. If I press the power button at this stage (keyboard slid out some millimeters, screen black), the phone seems to crash and reboots.

2. Suppose again, the Photon Q is turned on and in operation. This time I slide out the keyboard all the way (no matter how fast). The screen goes black. Pressing the power button at this stage doesn't show any effect. Only after pressing it a second time, the Photon Q is awake again, showing me the lock screen - apparently no crash and no reboot!

3. Suppose, the Photon Q is turned on and in operation. I turn the screen off by pressing the power button once, then I wait for some seconds and slide out the keyboard all the way. When I turn on the screen this time by pressing the power button, the lock screen appears as expected and everything is working fine.

All these scenarios also work the other way round, i.e. you assume the keyboard is already slid out all the way and you perform the slide-in movement. Also, this is not a software issue as it behaves analogously during reboot or in recovery mode. Furthermore, I opened my phone. The flex cable was connected properly and I couldn't see any damage to the flex cable. So it seems to be an internal loose connection of the flex cable.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tuxor1337:
My replacement part (ribbon cable with front camera and upper board) arrived today (looong way from Singapore...). I did a complete breakdown being lucky to have a Torx T3 (that's damn tiny) in addition to the T5. Everything went fine and also the front camera is working well. Thanks for this thread, it really helped me finding the cause of my issue!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
I should've posted back here a long time ago, but this thread was long dead. I ended up buying a new photon q off of craigslist that had a broken screen for like $60. Replaced the flex cable (which was super easy... Disassembling this phone completely is cake). In the time it took me to get my new flex cable, I had experienced with taking the phone apart completely and reassembling it for fun. Ended up profiting off if the repair, a few hundred, with the spare motherboard netting me over $100 itself at the time on eBay.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Benni:):
Hi there,

my modded Q might have a broken cable, too.

What I find strange is, that the digitizer (touch) still works, but I get no light/display (and I don't see a "broken point" on the cable.

Has anyone here got the same problem?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] crackerjack9249:

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 PM ----------

I'm Having the same issue I know for a fact the screen works as ive tried it on two other spare photon Qs. I PMd CorholioGSM if he has any idea where the backlight coil is to see if it need replaced. He hasnt gotten back to me yet. Phone also works as the HDMI still functions fine. There may be an issue on our boards no idea what yet hopefully I can figure it out soon.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Benni:):
Hi there. I spoke to him and he said, that it is most likely the power control for the backlight which burned through
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] crackerjack9249:

You can install gapps - http://goo.im/gapps/

One thing though, make sure you get the real deal from china, NOT A CLONE.. because we won't be able to help much on clones... and probably custom roms will not work on it either.. and most guides on here (including root) might not work. As for rooting follow this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1818502

Again, if you have a clone, it might make more damage than good if you try to use tools designed for original LG. Beware.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] someth1ng:
Clones are always **** - they are never the same as the read deal. You might as well buy the real deal somewhere else.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tim_Pan:
hey,i don't think you will buy a clone,but you will take a risk of buying a faked one that it is NEU version or other else actually.:(

the faked one can be flashed and become "chinese" version. if you really want to buy an official one,you must buy in big companies like Gome and SuNing,or service hall of China Unicom(the unique operator). or you can buy on the internet such as 360buy.com ;)

well,you buy a real deal,and don't worry about the problem you mentioned.

you can easily root it in this way as well.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1818502

and after that,you can install the gapps through recovery

or install this apk and you will have the google framework & Play store.

http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=174328&uk=1176017033

however,you can't control your accounts in settings(no option can display )

I have some knowledge of decompiling and compiling APKs with apktool, though only a limited amount of knowledge.

On the standard touchwiz launcher you can't move the Apps button, you'll have to use a third party launcher. Nova or Apex launcher actually aren't bad launchers and can almost mimic what Touchwiz looks like, and do not effect overall functionality of the phone.
