My goal was not to make anyone mad or to proclaim I had a fix. I simply wanted an answer to my question. I am sorry to those I obviously offended by asking such a question. Though I could have asked Yay before I posted I honestly didnt think this thread was going to go where it did. I dont know what happened to cause my phone to shw 4g coverage (or lack there of according to yay) but I wanted to get someone elses impression of my account and see if had been something I done. Like I said many times now my apologies. I dont come on here to troll or misguide anyone. I am a firm believer in helping out when I can which is what my initial comment was trying to do, but I was just simply called a liar (though I can understand skeptisism) I dont want to waste anymore time defending my character. If YAY or any other dev wants to talk you have my contact information. I will be trying the dsixda kitchen to see if we can build a rom with that kitchen since the atrix can, hopefully I can redeem myself so to speak...lol.. have a blessed day people.

Hi I am just wondering when those who lost 4g have it on when they unlocked their bootloader?
I turned mines off before I unlocked it and I still have 4g. I will load pictures up when I get back to a area with 4g.

Ok, if this isn't true you owe us all $200,000 each. And I mean everyone who is registered to xda., ok? Cool.

So I'm in the process of unlocking ... already flashed pudding but haven't done the oem unlock and my 4g works. Maybe the pre rooted system image is what's breaking the 4g.

LOL OK... I honestly don't know what else I did differently from you guys but I still have 4g... and when I take my daughter to the baby sitter I will take a snap shot.
I can tell you that the same thing happened on the evo when the kingdom roms kernel first came out. If you left 4g or wifi on while updating it would say error when you booted back up. Maybe this is the reason as well..
Just a assumption!

I knew that I wasn't unlocked. This is my second photon. The other was unlocked. I was thinking the source of the 4g problem was flashing the modified bootloader. Could it possibly be in Rom Racer's Recovery that is breaking the wimax keys? Has to be that or the oem unlock. Any ideas?
This was already one of the original ideas and I believe it was found out not to be it. There is a lot to be learned on the unlock bootloader thread.
For those asking for a video I will not be posting one as I don't have the luxury to take time to make a video to prove my phone has 4g. I simply stated what I did while unlocking and asked if others did the same. I don't need any credibility given from anyone as I have been helping people for quite some time now on here.
The reality of it is I have 4g after unlocking my device but I don't know how. It was a simple question to see if anyone else experienced it ..... if not then we know that, that was not the reasoning behind it! But I will post screen shots when I get back to a area with 4g...

Well i dont see the point in your post other than trolling the video is so we can verify that you are indeed in unlock status and have 4g. You could have unlocked your phone flashed rom nandroided relocked and recovered from bootstrap and think you still have 4g and unlock status but that wouldnt be the case. Its just to cover all bases, if you want to help others than that would be the first step then you could get with yay and figure it out.

Agreed, the fact that you just want to"kinda" help everyone out is bothersome, in that making a video is in fact the only way it can be proven. Creditable or not, it really is the only way. Screenshots do nothing. You don't need a 1080p hd video explaining all the ends and outs. Just a quick 40 second jobber showing us unlock status and 4gees.

You aren't understanding anything, that's your first problem. It isn't him you are proving something too, its everyone on that forums, every single person here is wanting what you supposedly have. Being a prick about it only shows that you really don't have what you say you do, because anyone that did would be going crazy right now trying to find a camera that records, which almost all do nowadays. You are the one being selfish here. If you truly wanted to help the community, you would be doing anything you could.

Crying over a phone that has not been released cause it is locked is completely stupid. Whether it is locked and encrypted or has an instaroot button it will be hacked at some point. The only thing that changes is the method on doing so. If you have already made ur decision to not get this phone due to it being locked and encrypted then please navigate away from this section of the forum and please by all means please stop crying over this topic. The evo 3d is not unhackable it will be done its just a matter of time. If u make the decision not to get this phone at last use a better excuse.

Why don't you go ask the guys over in the droid x section about encrypted bootloaders.
Says the guy that joined 2 months ago. GTFO.
You saying that its only a matter of time isn't helping either. In fact, its misleading considering that many phones in this position, notably the Droids, have yet to be cracked a year later. Besides, this is a EVO 3D topic on a home brew development site. It being incredibly limited to the purpose of this entire site is essential discussion.

Try saying this to the many of users out there still locked down thinking their phones would eventually be cracked. Ya they're still waiting...
I'm not going to waste my time on "it might be done eventually" If and when it does get cracked the next big thing will probably be coming out. Patience is a virtue for suckers.

100% agree. I was debating myself between the 3D and the SGS2 so that I can have a beast of a phone and continue with MIUI, but now that choice I guess got easier.
Maybe my post was a bit rude I apologize for that. Its not that I think we should not discuss this. I just don't think we need 10 separate topics a day doing so. I also feel this being the sole reason some people are protesting getting this phone is a bit stupid when u balance the pros and cons of this phone. I have also read that there is someone attempting to develop a way to unlock locked phones using a similar method to jailbreaking iphone. I dont remember where on google I read that. I'm not telling u that to start rumors just trying to show u it is being worked on it is not going unnoticed by the devs.

The problem with motorola phones isn't the encryption. its the fact that it re-locks once un-encrypted. they've gotten to the point of un-encrypting it, just the re-locking problem is the issue.

Doesn't change the fact that it's been well over a year and the problem still exists. The point is, yes it's POSSIBLE that this will be rootable at some point, but it's more likely that by that time there will be much better, easily rootable tech (i.e. Nexus 3) on the market.
It's not bad to have hope for a bootloader solution.
A bootloader unlock may never happen, though. You can hope for a bootloader bypass though. Just look at the Atrix. We have a bypass ready, we just need a kernel

The T-Bolt was locked down tight, but aleaked RUU prior to release was exploitable. It's literally the ONLY reason they're able to customize it.

Our devs worked very hard to unlock our bootloader so I don't believe you are giving them enough credit when you say its been unlocked since day one. You acknowledge that the Atrix version is not stable. Well that is kind of a problem for us because the Atrix team will most likely be the ones who will port it over for us. There was a thread started about it on the cyanogenmod forums about two weeks ago so you might want to keep that thread alive. A lot of people aren't willing to sacrifice their 4g access for custom ROMs just yet but once the 4g issue is fixed then I think you will see a lot more. You might want to communicate with the Atrix team and show them your support and offer your device for testing if you wish to speed things up. Just make sure you have a nandroid backup.
First rule of Cyanogenmod is don't ask for an eta.
Sent from my Motorola Photon 4g
Not being a Dev (yet. I am eager to learn) my layman's/noob's suggestion would be for the Photon Dev's and the Atrix Dev's to combine forces to create CM7 for both phones. If I am not mistaken, and please correct me if I am wrong so I can learn, the Photon & Atrix are very similar and with the exception of the RIL and a few other minor differences the CyanogenMOD ROM for both phones would be practically identical. Sometimes too many cooks spoil the soup but most of the time the more great minds the better.
I understand that both the Photon & Atrix Dev's put in a ton of work to root & unlock the bootloaders. They did this out of a love for what they do and asked for nothing in return, they should be thanked and praised for their efforts and contributions to the community.

I think it has more to do with people getting annoyed with noob and uniformed questions. Since when did a a different phone with an unstable version and a bootloader that will break 4G become a prerequisite for the Photon getting CM7?

I was wondering the same thing.. part of what makes a device fun (for me) is the ability to satisfy my urge to tweak it, flash it, and all that crap.. I miss flashing new stuff every couple days..
Although, to be fair, this device is pretty damn slick out of the box..
still.. I'd love to have something to flash .. I'm not gonna root till CM7 is available and stable.. heh. (reminds me of zanderman and the Epic)

Unfortunately some of the best developers on this forum have turned into the evil apple fanboy twins in denial and refuse to leave HTC products. Despite the obvious superiority of the Photon over the Evo 3D, they refuse to pick one up simply because it is Motorola. Their argument is "It's Motorola and they don't unlock bootloaders", but they haven't even looked to see that it is unlocked. Be it what it may, we have kennethpenn and seanzscreams and I love them both dearly for putting all the effort they have into two great ROM's. This phone has been everything I want and more even on stock software, so I'm not upset of the Evo forum /bb/tards don't find their way into this section and it remains quiet here. Granted I'd love to see the power of this phone be unlocked, I doubt it'll happen with HTC and Samsung holding so many developers by the balls with the bells and whistles of nonfunctioning products.

The thing about seanscreams and Kenneth penn is there developing for our photons and they don't even own one. I think us photon users should throw them a small donation or something.

It will. Our phone is so similar to the Atrix that they will be able to help as well. I am not getting into the hype of the SGS2. Will be a great phone but the Photon is much more of a power house. We have only just got source. Once AOSP gets ported things will be lovely.

I agree with u. I'm sorry. I had an evo4g and the 3d just doesn't live up to its predecessor. The photon was just the better choice
I wish there was an online school, maybe run by the devs, to give guidance on how to create roms and kernels. I know there are forums with directions, but allot of it I just don't understand. Unless a dev takes you under his wing and explains it to you, it is very difficult to learn. Maybe some type of online chat and examples, and there would be a membership fee to attend. This way the devs would be compensated for their time. If there were say hundreds people enrolled, the cost would be minimal. Just thinking out loud. Wish I new more so I could help the community. I have already learned more about it than I ever thought I would, do to lack of development with some of the phones I have chosen. Either way, I'm keeping this Mopho!
once i get my photon (sometime next week) i have plans to work on an acs rom.. i imagine it might hold some interest
It got my attention!

Thanks Shabby, the one thing I miss from my Epic is the SFR Rom, still have the ACS updater app (though nothing to download lol). And Bricky, I am totally with you. I don't consider myself stupid (heck I run a QA group), and have been working with MS products for longer than I care to admit, and I even bought the
"Android for beginners", which is ok, but there is alot to consume, it would be great to have a mentor. I'd love to help out, hell I'd be happy to test ROM's, the more knowledge the better.

I would totally love to sport an ACS "Mo-Pho'kin" ROM bwahahaha
(it's a spinn off mo-pho and the SRF shuriken... yeah, that's it )
as an aside, I have a methodical mind and would love to read and apply... so tell us Shabby, where's a good place to start (to learn to develop).. point me and I shall read... hah
Lol that would be such a cool name ...."one bad MoPho'kin Rom"...

I believe there are a few devs working hard with the new source. Hopefully we will see something after this weekend I also sure wouldn't mind a lazy man's root and unlock method like the folks in the evo section have

What do you think people? Will be there a new ROM with these functionalities?

anaragayevafr hes not trying to be a **** either. The devs we have now are working their asses off right now on CM7 and Unlocking the BL without losing 4G oh and they're living their lives
I've been trying to make a p-rom good enough to be released...its a hard process if you have no clue in what you're doing.
I can direct you to some great threads to help....

Maybe I should bump the thread I posted with the development books in it, so people will download them, use them, and quit asking why no one else is making them ****. <----That helped right? Lol.

Is development dead for the photon???
Wanted to get everyone thoughts. I really like messing with my phones and really thought that this phone would be the titan of customization for sprint. I have been really disappointed!!!
I am thinking about switching to another phone if something doesn't happen quick...

Agreed... i'm tired of weeding through the junk threads.
Make us all the favor of getting a different phone. Also please do us all a favor and LEARN some forum ethic. You'll make yourself a better person and this place more enjoyable place.

Don't worry about what we think. We don't care what you do. Get another phone so we don't care have to hear about how disappointed you are. Or you could learn to build your own rom or do like me and learn to theme.

i personally think yall are going a bit overboard on this poor guy...
Eh......it's not dead. We're getting CM7, have an OC kernal, have a couple ROM's. But....if you want MORE
Try this.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsxPfZ76Rrw&list=PL7AA9C38D09F2F2BD&index=1
Edit....
But on second thought. I kinda like the phone the way it is, the lack of ten thousand of the same ROM with a different color for the theme is nice. If you REALLY need that, hit up the Evo 3D or the ET4G. Both will suit you PERFECTLY. And also will keep us from having a million of the same ROM's. BUT...if you WANT the Photon. The above link should tell you everything you need to know about building a ROM. And then you can make it ANYWAY you want, and don't have to rely on anyone else. Problem solved for everyone.
Some of you guys take this so personally... lol
I was simply asking a question if you don't like the question stop reading. The funny part is the same people that cried over this thread will comment again with more *****es and complaints. Relax
I would like to learn how to make roms but really don't have time... instead i donate to those making the roms. Those guys do a great job!

Sounds like you need a different phone. This same question has been asked a bunch of times already and the answer has been that the Photon will probably never be as dev rich as phones like the SGS2 and E3D. Most peeps with the Photon are ok with that but for the others that need to flash something new every day/week need to get another device.
The problem with these type of posts is they create more negativity for the Photon which is why some take it personally. We don't like our beloved device (or developers) put in a negative light.
I agree...its not necessary for anyone to be mean because someone ask a question. It is simple enough to go to the next thread. If NO ONE responds, the OP will get the message.
If he just wanted to ask he should had asked SIRI!!:

I expect development to pick up once we have a fully unlocked bootloader.
Its kind of pointless to develop a ROM when you can only flash p-ROMs right now.
Well if you use 4G you can only flash P-ROMs.
