Photon 4G ROM Manager support - Motorola Photon 4G

When will ROM manager and Clockwork Recovery support the Photon?

Motorola Photon and Rom Manager
I've tried everything I can think of but can't get it to work. I tried sending email to the web site offering to buy the "pro" version, but no reply. If anyone knows how to get it supported and working, or of a better application that does work, please let me know.

i bought the pro verison also sent a email asking if they could help...never got a reply

There is a CWM version for the photon. You need to be unlocked which will break 4g.
CWM v5 based recovery:

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the pointer. Not sure I want to break 4G but I'll check it out. Like lucidvtec I sent email and offered to buy the Pro version. No reply. That sure is an indication of how any problems with their application will be addressed.

When someone ports cwm from koush not romracer. I think there is a feud.

Koush is really slow with it ( pretty much non existent really )... the Echo got its CWM out a few months ago and we updated koush with the info and such per his request on his website but .... Rom Manager is still not updated for the Echo...

Clockwork Mod Recovery
I am confused?? I follwed the instruction and d/l Rom Manager and flashed recovery. I am able to enter into clockwork mod recovery just fine, I have made several Nandroids using this. ??? Am I misreading this post??

No, you are not. The issue is that Clockwork can't read (and therefore wipe or backup) the ext4 partition that voodoo puts our data in. It might not be able to read RFS as well, I am not sure.

I doubt that is the case, but I as well do not fully understand what Jesus here is trying to say, I will leave it up to him for further explanation.
As a side note, I would be thrilled if they released Cyanogen for the Fascinate, that would be fantastic.
The issue is that Cyanogen is based off 2.2 (Froyo) and the Fascinate does not have a 2.2 kernel yet.
I was on their wiki last night and almost made the same mistake until I read that part. I was all excited and was thinking, "How did no one see this"
then I punched myself in the face
Whoa -
As near as I can count, you guys are talking about three different things:
1) Clockwork Recovery is definitely available for the Fascinate, and has been for a while.
2) Clockwork Recovery and Cyanogenmod are different things.
3) The issue with Clockwork Recovery not reading Nandroid backups ONLY applies if Voodoo is installed and enabled. Supplysidejesus covered this correctly.
Martian21 got it right in that Cyanogenmod 6.* is based on Android 2.2, so we won't be seeing it until Samsung pushes a 2.2 update.
The good news is that Koush has expressed a willingness to work on the CM port when there is some Froyo source to work from.
Good things will come in time!

I don't think I would get too excited on that one..
Being a former Droid Inc user, I would personally rather get another CM guy on it.
Koush does SO MUCH for the community that I think he's spread too thin to give this device the full attention that it will need. I am not knocking him, he's awesome and done a ton. With his new company he works for and all the rom manager items and things for clockwork recoveries, I just don't see him working on this one.
what would be great is if a team of devs worked on the CM part when the time comes instead of a one man show.

That would be great. It sucks that there are so many people out there eager to help, but no way to *quickly* get the skills it takes to help? I wish it was as easy as watching a youtube video on what to do - I know there are some, but it seems like something's missing?

It also say's "NOTE: ClockworkMod Recovery is currently not available for the Samsung Fascinate. Please check the wiki or follow clockwordmod on Twitter for updates.", but i am running 2.5.1.0 via rom manager as we speak? Very intersting...
...
Recovery doesn't require 2.2.
I don't know anything about developing but I just read on wesgarner's twitter that the source for the galaxy s CM6 is now available, does that mean anything to us fascinate users?

Not sure how else to explain it, but I will try.
By default, Samsung places the /data/ partition of the phone in a file system called RFS. It is slow and inefficient, so the guys over at the Voodoo project created the lagfix which converts the partition to ext4, which is a MUCH faster file system, and makes accessing and using our apps much more efficient.
The only problem with this and Clockwork Recovery is that Clockwork does not have the capability to READ the ext4 partition that the Voodoo lagfix creates. So, when you do a nandroid with Clockwork, it will backup everything it is supposed to backup EXCEPT the ext4 data partition. That is the issue we have with Clockwork. Until Koush adds support for ext4, we are kind of dead in the water for a complete nandroid backup.
That's all I was saying.
Like I said, I'm also not sure if Clockwork can read the default RFS partition - someone would have to confirm or dis-confirm that for me.
Wish I was knew more. I have a lot of the infrastructure info down, I think, just no good with code and programming.
Bleh.
Clockwork can backup the /data partition on a stock Galaxy S. That is why you have to diable Voodoo in order to do a full Nandroid then you can re-enable it.
As was stated earlier Koush has said that he will port CM6+ to the Fasinate once 2.2 source is availalble. to try to work from 2.1, while possible, would be a wasted effort with 2.2 so close. All Koush needs to do is lay the foundation for CM6, there are dozens of other talented devs who can take that work and build on it. Don't fear - CM6 will come and will be actively suported by many devs. I'd be willing to bet that once Voodoo is officially released for the Fascinate Koush will add support in ClockworkMod recovery.

[Q] atrix rom on dx2 and cwm ?

i have looked maybe over looked, but now that we have the atrix rom on the dx2, will the cwm rom manager be applicable to our phone or is it still droid x2? i have the rom manager premium and when i open it up it asks what phone it is. any and all comments welcome. thanks for looking, hp

Tried it and it bricked my phone.. So don't get any ideas, again it needs to be ported because it works with the unlocked bootloader which we don't have and( The cwr version) it bricks you

so you're saying do not use it? jk, thanks guys i will not use it. don't want a brick. thanks again, hp
I will second that. Don't use rom manager. If you flash the recovery on rom manager you will soft brick your phone and have to sbf in rsd mode.
I know, I did that when I first got my phone.

[Q] CWM on Photon

Hey everyone,
I've successfully flashed CWM/unlocked my photon via LokiFish's excellent thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20331623&postcount=6
My question is, since I've payed for CWM in the past, can I download the update and flash newer versions or is the recovery-red-photon the only one the phone can successfully support?
Thanks in advance!
Official version doesn't work right. Actually, jokersax's version works great. You'll find a link to his site in his cm9 thread in the development section.

Jokers recovery is a flashable zip you can flash in cwm, then reboot recovery and you're set. Both work great, but if you plan on using the aroma installer that is available for some of the ics builds, you'll need jokers recovery to take advantage of the touch-based aspect of that. Otherwise, you can navigate through the installer with the volume keys and select work the camera key.

there is no premium version of clockworkmod recovery, there is rom manager and rom manager premium.. and depending on the device that may or may not be worthwhile...
i myself prefer goo manager, its free for everyone, donate 10 bucks and you get lifetime membership to skip the 10 sec wait. they provide free hosting to devs for roms, if the roms are setup properly they will show up in the goomanager app and when there is a new version will prompt users of that rom .
but yea there is no premium version of cwm, the difference between rom manager and rom manager premium is you can download certain roms (usually just the cm7/9 nightlies for official devices, ergo no impact on the photon..)

You're right, but I supposed I could have been more specific. Great app regardless
yes indeed, rom manager has a rather setup going for it.

I know you can use the version of cwm it flashes in order to flash jokers recovery zip. Then you don't have to fastboot a recovery file. Beyond that, I've never really bothered with it.

Thanks for that! I've seen all the.goo utls but didn't know about all that.
rom manager
I downloaded rom manager and it does support the photon and has for awhile. When choosing to flash recovery through rom manager it picked up the photon no probably. So to answer the questions it does work and support the photon 4g. Now if we can just get Koush to make a clockworkmod touch recovery for the photon it will be all good.

[Q] Need Help with Sprint Photon with Electrify rom

Hi all
I apologize for my bad English. I own a Sprint Photon, of course, and I live outside the U.S.. I bought the Photon from ebay and who sold it has installed Electrify rom that you see in the screen attached. I would like to try other roms, but I'm totally noob with Android, it's my first Android, so I want to know how not to brick my phone. When the Photon starts, there is written at the top, unlocked.
There is the CWM backup and a recovery 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US.zip
Can anyone help me or give me a link?
Thanks in advance

PS: I have also installed a version of Ubuntu webtop, I would like to remove it since I do not use

With your phone unlocked, you should have no trouble installing the roms posted in the development sub forum. Essentially all you should have to do is place the zip of the rom in a folder on your site card and flash through CWM. However each rom has specific instructions, so read and reread carefully.
Each person has their own tase for roms and no one is going to tell you that there is one best rom, I'm using CM7 right now, after having CM10 installed for a while.

That actually looks like stock Android for the electrify. Are you sure you are running a custom rom? Are you sure you got a photon? Some people list items wrongly in ebay so you should check those two things before going flashing anything
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
That screenshot reeks of a US Cellular SBF that has been floating around but if it says unlocked you might be okay.
Install the CWM, do a nandroid then grab a known-working non-stock ROM from the dev forum. See what happens. As long as it stays unlocked you can fix it.

Now just need find a recovery.
I agree!
I got his phone a while and successfully rooted it and flashed recovery CWM.
The stock is so laggy and slow. Would love a replacement.
Install CWM for the phone (which I have) by personal messaging me and I will send you the URL, silly XDA rules. -.-
also there is heaps of custom roms there that work for the t22. Trial and error, I have cm10 and a few others already on my phone. )
Sounds great. Are you able to let us know which phones roms work with T22?
Sent from my brick.
I have tried a few for the Blade 3, there is quite a variety, some work some don't, but since they are nearly the exact same phone, the t22 will work with nearly any rom for the blade 3.

Found a way to unlock it for free. Tryed to follow these instructions using google translator 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=376369 its kind of a downgrade back to 2.2.3 and it worked, now I just have to get back to ics
Name of a custom rom?
Any have a rom that WILL work with the t22?
Thanks for your time, much appriciated!
Plenty of Roms on Modaco, I think it is, just search up Blade3 Cyanogenmod and it should come up with one by Konstang.
Sent from my LG-E975K using xda premium
Stock Rom?
Hi there,
2 things: yes, you can install many Blade3 ROMs in the T22, and the most popular that is confirmed to work is an unofficial port of CyanogenMod (you can install 10.2, but it still needs official development from Qualcomm before FM Radio and Bluetooth work, so I suggest 10.1), compiled by developer KonstaT.
As I have the New Zealand version of this device, I can confirm it works well, and will certainly do so here. However:
I advise against doing it if you don't know how to backup and restore a nandroid, purely because there are NO STOCK ROMS available from either ZTE or Telstra websites, and without that backup, you'll have no choice but to void any warranty you may have had if you neglected to do so! Even I find that idea annoying, and yet I don't have that problem!
Just a friendly warning from a cousin across the ditch.
Thanks I'll check it out.
