Here it is guys north america generic official firmware 4.0.A.2.368 ready to download. It works as it should I flashed it to my phone first before uploading. It almost seems like my signal strength is much better and more consistant than I had with the R800i FW, just an observation tho have fun!

I have a r800x will this brick my phone??
Sent from my R800x using XDA Premium App
I'm not too sure about the r800x don't they need the specific verizon firmware because its a CDMA phone and the rest are GSM. I would check that out first cause you don't want to brick your phone

Will try the r800a generic on my R800i. Will post how it works

it might not brick your phone but you will definitely not be able to make calls or send/receive data as it is for an GSM device and not for CDMA, so do not flash it.
Eh I got a BooTloop on R8OOi, maybe cuz of not wiping data?
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
I have a R800i (australia)
Its unlocked and I bought it outright, is this firmware going to be better than the generic UK version?
Just in case anyone is wondering, or doesn't plan this part out ahead (like me...) - flashing this will break root. You'll have to downgrade to the global ROM, root and update OTA. I didn't think of any of this ahead of time, and had to learn the hard way. Keep that in mind ....

Any word on battery life so far with this one compared to i version?

If you have an unlocked bootloader Doomlord's latest v3 kernel works - pre-rooted and with recovery. Just tested, working great!
working perfect, great battery life, full root access with doomlord's newest kernel.
Thank you very much for the rom!
Thanks 1+!
I've been looking to get a hold an R800a firmware, thanks!

I have the Xperia_play_Release_Generic_UK.ftf, which is the UK rom. Where do i get the NA rom? I searchs XDA forums but none came up.
Does this Rom has the battery drain problem?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App
can i use this rom with my r800at (ATT)?
If its a gsm phone then have at it but if its cdma it will most likely brick it

Anyone using this on Rogers? Is there any bloatware on this? I was thinking about flashing to this (currently on UK generic R800i), but will lose root since bootloader is locked.

Why don't you flash it and tell us if it works?
Probably many people think like you: "Let someone else do it first", and that's why you got no replies.

You can install joker kernel and undervolt as well as putting profiles thru setcpu. Lower screen brightness all the way down. Just a few if the top of my head.

Can i flash roms and kernels with only being rooted? Or do i need to unlock?
And whats being used on photon?
Does rom manager have cwm built in or does photon require a flashable cwm or bootstrap?
Seems everything is not as easy as was on the evo.

Custom kernel REQUIRES unlock
First time I've heard of it consistently bricking phones and I rsd flash BOTH my mophos a couple times a week. Even when rsd says "fail" I've never had an issue when doing it properly (factory reset from settings/wipe from recovery/rsd flash).

Hi there, i'm no expert in this, but i should imagine that if you made a nandroid backup of your stock rom before installing CM7, you should be ok to just restore that.
I have already installed cm7 buddy nd stupidly I didn't make a backup I understand that I can't completely restore it bck as bl will always be unlocked I just need the stock T-Mobile UK 2.2.2 rom

I can't be 100% sure about this, but seeing as you haven't installed an official 2.3.4 GB, you might be ok to flash the official stock 2.2 froyo t-mobile firmware. Head over to the super firmware thread and have a look there. As i've already said, I can't be 100% sure about this, hopefully someone with a lot more experience than me will chip in and give you the assurance you after, sorry i can't help you anymore my friend.

No problem my friend, if our official 2.3.4 GB update isn't here by next week i'm going down the same route as yourself, unlocking my BL and installing either CM7 or Alien. It seems that us in the UK get left behind when it comes to official software updates! !

Not sure if this will help you, as I dont use JB, and i'm not sure if you are carrier unlocked or not. but in order to do so, you will need to be loaded with a stock rom, in order to use the unlock code you are given.
you may already know, and have done this, but you'll need to be on the rom your phone came with, if possible...
hope this helps...g
Use any modem you like. Roms and modems are independent. Don't get too excited or upset once you flash your rom/modem. It seems to take a few reboots and a few hours to settle in.
cool...dint know i had to be in stock to use an unlocked code thought
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
If its not stock, the box to enter the code never appears
but once unlock it doesn't matter if I flash the device will stay unlocked right?

I recently got a job with Sprint and ordered a photon 4g to use on my employee line so I'll be able to get the next phone when it comes out, what's generally the best method to achieve an unlocked bootloader? I've rooted and unlocked many devices including the Motorola Atrix which I know is very similar.

You won't be able to unlock unless as an employee you can somehow load 2.3.4. Right now, there is no way to unlock 2.3.5.

its just to cover his ass. If you can follow instructions, its really quite simple. Go for it! Just make sure your battery is fully charged. You will be happy you unlocked it.
Th3 Bill's CM10 in the development section is an awesome rom. way better than stock.

I'm assuming it came with 2.3.5 and not the ota? If ota and you unpick let me know.

Hate to be the party pooper, but you cannot unlock 2.3.5 254_13 or 254_12. There are many threads covering this. You can root it, add bootstrap, and use one of a few locked "ROMs" (for example mof9336's MOF 2.3.5. Slim {locked} De-Blur 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13).
It came with it, I have 254_13

You're permanently locked. You'll never see a custom ROM. Besides locked stock ones. Bleh. I'd recommend a new phone. Unless you love it and gingerbread that much.
