[Problem] No 4G after unlocking bootloader - Motorola Photon 4G

I unlocked the Boot loader and installed CWM via recovery partition flash. I noticed that after that my a cant resolve an ip with 4g service. I had massive 4G coverage before the unlocking procedure. Im starting a new thread because the last thing i want to do is have to downgrade back to stock. It would be a terrible waste of time to have unlocked and backed myself up.

I also cleard dalvik cache and fixed permissions via CWM.
no luck.

This has been an ongoing issue. So far nobody who unlocked has 4g, its not you. If 4g is that important you can SBF to the official CM5 release from Motorola. While your device will remain physically unlocked, you will lose all the benefits until you flash pudding again. However if you relock the phone you will regain 4g access. Since the devs are working on fixing 4g I don't expect any serious ROMs at the moment, you might as well relock and gain your 4g access back. For me, there is no 4g in my area so I'm not so bothered by this problem. I'm confident they will fix it, they just have to find the right radio files and release a flash able update that you do after unlocking the bootloader.

Sorry but I don't agree that this is in the wrong section. You or one of the others should have made a new post regarding this, or updated the other posts accordingly, the fact that you haven't is beyond me. I would rather look at a shorter thread than have to surf through pages of a thread to find the answer we are all still looking for.
The unlocked bootloader thread should have been updated as soon as you guys knew it was breaking people's 4g. There should have been some kind of edit that stated this fact.
As of this post, the 'unlock your bootloader here' thread still doesn't warn people that it breaks their 4g. I find it very unprofessional that the OP has not put something up regarding this.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate what you all have done, but giving people all the information is also part of what you guys should be doing. Not making people read 15 pages worth of **** just to find out the unlock they did f'd there **** up.
EDIT: If this thread doesn't qualify then put your own up and title it accordingly, because we should already have a thread up about this as most of us are patiently waiting for a fix.
Flame me if you must, but its the truth.

I don't know about you guys but I love my Photon 3g. I can't wait to get CM7 on this.

---

I also love my Photon now that it's rooted. But, I FULLY agree with OP that proper warning should exist on ALL threads regarding rooting/unlocked bootloader that you will lose 4G once you go that route.

I u locked my phone using the big 400mb sbf. Then i rebooted and used the system.img then i rebooted again and wiped recovery and flashed cwm. When i rebooted i did the initial setup and restored everything from titanium backup. After that i rebooted again and i had 4g all my apps in the market and things have been working perfectly.
Also during the flashing i removed my sim and sd card and put them back before running setup.

By the way, did you unlock the bootloader or just did regular root. People lost the 4g connectivity because they unlocked the bootloader. Please clearify. Thanks

Sorry for the delay. Freaking meetings all morning.
Well to flash the system.img for root you have to have an unlocked bootloader. So to clarify.
1. Charged to 100% removed sim, and sd card, backed up apps, and data.
2. Flashed the 400mb pudding sbf
3. rebooted
4. ran the unlock command
5. rebooted again
6. After it booted turned it of and put back in flashback
7. rooted the phone using system.img and flashback.
8. without rebooting flashed cwm img blue to be exact
9. rebooted
10. completed android setup and installed titanium backup root and superuser
11. restored everything via titanium apps, and data
12. rebooted
13. cleared both caches
14. started the phone up and I have all my apps in the market and 4g
To note though I live in Philly and the night I unlocked and rooted i had 4g(Sunday), I had spotty 4g on Monday it would connect and then disconnect and sometimes just turn off and on and refresh, Today It keeps finding sprint saying connecting and then just restarts and does it again.
The only thing that has happened between the fully working to questionable connectivity was that I let my battery completely die and the phone shut off.
to summarize I believe I have the same problem as everyone else now. No connecting 4g

Well, the Unlocked Bootloader thread by Yay does have the notice in its title. Whether that was done after this thread pointed it out, I don't know, but regardless. It should have been made in that thread and a pm should have been sent to Yay asking him to make a mention of it either in the title or in his first post. Making other threads is just going to clutter up the forum.
Mods please close.

Moved to proper forum and locked because it is already stated in the unlock bootloader thread
