OK MAKE THAT SORTA PERM UNLESS U PULL THE BATTERY...LOL
Recently i posted a thread where i was able quite by chance to shut down and restart my temp rooted evo 3d quite by accident. I have experimented with this method and it is stable, dependable and works, i do not loose root when i power off, and power back up.
Its as simple as this on my temp rooted evo 3d, hit the power button to get the shut down choices window, i choose power off (shut down) and as the evo starts to shut down and the screens start to change i hit the power button a few times, the evo powers completly off.. And i power it back on, and it boots up and has root as confirmed by titanium backup and cpu master.
Thats it folks... My evo 3d does it ! Wether yours will..i dont know..
It may ulitmatly depend on how you rooted it..not sure..

Remove the battery, do you still have root?
doesnt work for me
plus theres situations where 3D freezes and u have to pull out battery
so wouldnt call it permanent root
Do you have fastboot checked? Have you tried a battery pull?

Your basically fast booting it but cool story bro !

That because you have fastboot enabled. Uncheck that and power down. I bet you

Not sure where fast boot is..but ill find it and see if its checked, and..even i.. Am pretty sure that if we pull the battery its going to vaporize the root...
Sorry didnt mean to make a false alarm..its midnight and brain is in sprint employee mode...( no i dont work there..just saying i was being dumb..) lolololol

Hey fellow photon owners, looks like im the first to post on the photon boards hahahah jk....but seriously I traded in my evo 3d for this thing and couldn't be more happy. Its faster, has better reception, looks cooler, and just feels like an overall better phone.
Here's to hoping development for this phone takes off!!! Cheers!!
Edit : I guess in the midst of me posting 3 other threads have been created lol so I take back being the first to post
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
Yea, I'm really liking it as well. I returned the EVO 3D because I was having signal strength issues and this seems to be MUCH better. The EVO 3D would get 0-1 bar in my office while the Photon is picking up 3-4. So hopefully I'll see an improvement in the battery life since it won't constantly be searching for a signal.
I haven't had a chance to watch any Netflix or HBO Go movies yet so I hope those stream well. I've played a few games which played well. I do like the Motorola text messaging app.
So far, so good
All we need now is for a dev to jump on board and see exactly how locked down this phones bootloader really is
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
I'm thinking if this device can become a popular upgrade for those coming from an ogEVO, then the development will come as well. If so, this device will get rooted one way or another.
All going to depend on how popular this is. Only thing I can see slowing it down are the peeps holding out for the Within.

It will have a Menu at the top of the screen that gives one option at a time...basically it cycles to the next option when you press volume down key.
So with phone powered off...hold vol down + power, continue to hold til you see the splash screen for Moto, and White text at very top middle. Will say Fastboot. From there, you can cycle thru the other options using Down Vol, Up Vol will select current action.

I'm one of those peeps. I decided to wait for the Within to come out so I could compare side-by-side with the Photon and the E3D to decide which of the three phones are closest to what I really want. I would love the Photon but am worried about the Pentile display. I would love the Within but am not happy about 800x480 screen resolution and like the Photon's world phone/business features. Love HTC as a maker and prefer Sense to Blur/TouchWIZ but don't like the 3D screen - you may be able to turn it off but it is not as good a screen as it would be if 2D. The layer that makes it 3D-capable affects 2D viewing too.

On the evo 3d only thing 3d which is a option is pictures & video's. So if you want the 3d but worried about it on its only a option. On certain rom's if your rooted, I guess there a option for 3d homescreen, that's only certain rom's though & again just a option.

I was planning on getting the dock anyways for webtop, but this just stepped up the game!!
Oh and I am LOVING this phone. I did a factory reset and it is even faster than before!! The battery life will straighten itself out in a few days as my Evo 4G and Vibrant(2.3.3 dev rom) did. Seems that the OS wants to run like crazy for the first few days then it settles once all the caches and optimization's are done. But big screen Wiimote gaming last night was awesome!! just have to setup all the buttons.

In a few days it'll get better. I am not sure what it is with gingerbread but all three phones with gingerbread on it have done this. I never seen that on Froyo.
I hear people are still pulilng there battery all the time to reset there frozen non responding phone.
Just so everybody knows if you hold down volume up, volume down and power all at the same time the phone will reset without having to pull the battery out.
Just passing this on as it seems a lot of people are saying still they had to do a battery pull.
Thanks, I'm no technotard but didn't know this. Will most certainly try it next time!
frickin awesome!
I'm always pulling the Damn battery

thanks. will test it out next time my phone gets stuck. it's actually very helpful to me...pulling my battery entails removing the skeleton, the rubber cover, the case, and then the battery door...so it's a lot of steps for me
My phone has yet to freeze on the stock rom, but thanks for the info.
Doesn't this work for most devices? I know that's how I reset my touch pad too.

Awesome, did not know this either

Well yes, but pulling battery also disconnects the phone from the cell towers which can reset poor data/ voice connections
Are there many people who experience their phones freezing that often? I honestly havent had my phone freeze on me once.

So I saw the story this morning about someone being cheated out of the Smoked by Windows Phone challenge and what not... First time I heard about this marketing campaign actually so I looked at Microsoft's page for it which is lined with YouTube videos showing how it's faster than any other phone...
The first 2 videos (all i've looked at so far) are "let's see who can take a picture and upload it to facebook the fastest." Of course WP7 wins every time, but what I'm shocked at is their balls to make a dedicated camera button the selling point as if it's a new thing. "If I hold this dedicated camera button on the side, it opens the camera..." Yeah, I can do that too. Then he points out 1 button upload to Fb - swipe left to right on camera to show preview, tap to upload. Yeah, for us, tap preview, tap image to open share option. And everyone seems to be mesmerized by this crap they don't realize they already have! (ok, not everyone has the dedicated camera button)
You could argue that most people don't know how to use Android. Well... same could be said for any new device... They're just picking on those that don't know.
If you want to see for yourself...

Try holding it down -- phone should give you some haptic feedback and then open the camera.
Of course, on the 3D, you can just drag the camera icon into your unlock ring and achieve the same thing.
I just tried myself. Pressed the power button, dragged the camera icon into the unlock ring, snapped a pic, pressed the "Share" icon that appears during the short after-shot preview, and had I wanted to, I could've hit the Facebook option (I didn't ... who wants to see a pic of my monitor??). It took roughly 4 or 5 seconds, less if I were younger and could move faster

I did see that. I didn't wanna turn it into a discussion about that whole thing. I was amazed at how they're trying to spin their whole camera thing. Watching some more, yeah... there are some other things they're more efficient with. But it's still an ugly and uninteresting OS.

My phone just blanketed my screen with a notification that there's a Service update. Simply written "The update is complete and changes will now be applied"
Kinda irked cause it didn't notify me that there was one that i could simply DOWNLOAD, no it just downloads it, and wants to apply it RIGHT away. What the hell is this new update? i'm pretty sure a'lot of you are going to see this pretty soon, otherwise i can only cancel it by pressing home, but it KEEPS COMING BACK.
Edit: should i really be scared about it? i mean the boot loader is already unlocked by HTCDev, should i REALLY care about this update? well besides getting rid of root... now that i think about it.. but then again. I might just let it do it so everyone knows what version it is, and what exactly it entailed. i swear if i get locked out of root from this ill get mad, but whatever. xD FOR SCIENCE!!!!!!! as it were
Edit2: sooo now im feeling kinda dumb, i just realized that it could have possibly just done a profile update itself, the notification went away after pressing ok, but the device didn't reboot. but then again i dont see anything that could have updated. WTf did i just experience? XD does this phone have some ability to update the profile or PRL itself?
Check your prl # in settings and tell us what it says
Edit: yea nvm that was deff. a profile update no worries needed your good
