Can flash roms from bootstrap recovery. No need to unlock bootloader.

Hi guys, I was wondering if there is a 4G fix for an unlocked bootloader for the Photon?

Nope. And there probably won't be unless moto makes the photon unlockable with their new utility.

I believe I read that relocking the bootloaded on a stock rom fixes 4g... Haven't done it myself since my area doesn't have nor will ever receive WiMax based 4g service. You do this throud RSD Lite, the files you need are available from Lokifish Marz, you can find his stuff in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611911
As far as I know you are right. You can unlock, flash a rom with a stock kernel, and re-lock to retain 4g.

You'll love being unlocked and all the custom ROM choices you now have. Congrats.
Today I relocked my bootloader and ruu to stock. I need to bring the phone in over ongoing SIM issues. I am s-off. If I take the ota, will I be able to re-unlock?

Would I just unlock the way I did the first time? I thought the htcdev unlock didn't work after the update.

I think fastboot oem unlock will work since you are s off. But if that doesn't work then you can flash the same unlock bin token that you did the first time.

So I wanted to RUU back to 1.15. I had to relock my bootloader but I'm still S-OFF even though it saids relocked. I don't know if its my DNA. I have the Verizon Employee Edition

Bootloader being locked and s-off are two unrelated things
