Somebody please help...I want the update that lets me record video in 1080p but I can't unroot my Photon back to stock because alllllll the links online are ancient and outdated. Is there anybody out there with an updated version of the easiest way to do this OR can somebody PM me a link that will work?
Thanks in advance guys!

Yep, straight up flash to Gingerbread.
I don't think I will be using this sbf.
Thank you! This can only help further development for our phone!
So... Would the pre-rooted Gingerbread update.zip work on this? I am a bit confused. Keeping Froyo SBF for now, but thanks!
This will end up with a locked bootloader and no root access. This update is somewhat pointless unless you are having warranty issues.

If you use this you will have to sbf back to 2.2.2, root, bootstrap and load the prerooted version to get root back, until someone mods gingerbreak for this phone, or makes an entirely new root exploit program

Which is precisely the reason to download it. This is a quick flash back to stock for warranty or sale.

I thought that after I wrote that. I just didn't want to man up and own up to it after making that kind of brash statement... I guess I did by posting this.
It's cool. The first thought through my head was "He only has 61 posts and joined in April of this year. Is this legit?"
I am sure the devs here will pick it apart and let us know if anything is wrong, but that is how things get released from what I have seen. They just appear in the most unlikely post. Thanks OP.
The sbf file is 455MB. The filesonic site charges $9 for any file above 400MB. Any chance we could get the file hosted somewhere else that would not charge for it? I would love to have it, but I am not paying $9 for it. I already have an sbf for 2.2.2
All you have to do is reflash it, then your phone picks up 2.3.3 via over the air update.
I think this happened when the 2.2.2 sbf was released. Someone posted it on a site that charged for large downloads. Then someone else posted the same sbf on a free site.
Could we do this with this GB sbf?

Just to clarify. So no one is confused. What you pay for is bandwidth, if you CHOOSE to become a premium member of Filesonic.
My files are free to download. My user settings are set to 1GB max for free users. The 400MB limit always appears if you are not a premium member. But if you TRY to download it first, like most people do, you will find out that you can.
Thanks. Sorry to confuse anyone. I should keep my confusion to myself...

I hope im just reading what u wrote wrong but u know u cannot flash a rom meant for 2.3.4 on 2.3.3 right?
U COULD also just sbf to 2.3.4 if u like. There is a thread in x2 development forum for 2.3.4 sbf

If you are wanting to flash any of the 2.3.4 ROMs you need to SBF to 2.3.4. Read the tutorial and follow the steps there.....
Im an idiot sorry
Im sorry for typing this so confusing. After reading the post i went back and reread mine and yes it is very backwards.
but I acutally was unaware that i could just sbf to 2.3.4 so thank you for that little tidbit and also thankyou for the links.
No need to apologize ...I just wanted to male sure everything goes smooth for ya
good luck
Hey fellow member. I don't know if this has been covered already but, has there been any solution to the broken Motorola Photon Links? I know i should of downloaded the ROM when the phone was new. Sadly i just got my photon 3 weeks ago and now all the ROM to my leisure are all gone. If anyone has a solution to this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
It would help if you were more specific.. Are you looking for an unlocked ROM like CM9/MIUI? OR a .sbf of the stock ROM to restore phone to..?
Please, be specific and you will get an answer

OMG finally I'm sorry for the late response but, I'm talking about unlocked ROMS like CM7 and all those other goodies you can boot with CWM. I been trying to get these ROMs and Kernels lately but since multi upload and megaupload are down the links are down which mean no ROM. Plz reply asap thx

If you do need any other rom not on this list I have alien rom and homebase rom + the themes that go with them. they are on the older side but from what i have tried work great. hit me up if you need any of those two and ill try to find a link or upload what i have.
ill take any ROMs and Kernals anyone can give me for the Photon. But if anyone have the ROM and Kernal set that can allow me to OverClock 1.5 Ghz or more it would be GREATLY appriciated thanks again fellow members.

Ummm, I think loki has just about all there is for the photon listed. The highest oc I've seen for the photon is 1.4, with a couple of jokers kernels for stock or cm. So I'm sorry if s don't have a lot of options /sarcasm
sent from my Kick Ass MIUI MoPho using XDA premium
Only ROM I remember being able to do that was was i *think* Cybiks CM7 that I thought I used to run at 1.5 Ghz.. You don't need anywhere near that kind of OC speeds anyways it just kills battery. CM9 is still lightning fast clocked at 1 Ghz. All the ROMS are posted in dev section and all of the newer roms CM9/MIUI/AOKP all have working links... And so do most of older ROMS too..
Can you guys post the links of the available working ROM/Kernal atm because i checked all the forums and they rom or kernals are either Multi or Mega Upload and there gone D:
To make it easier for you wonderful/helpful people if you can provide the following it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
ACS Magnifier 1.0
Motorola Stock 2.3.4
HomeBase Photon
STAR WARS 2.8
Alien Build #1
Photon Laser v1.1
CM7
CM9
ICS
and last Any extra Kernal or ROMS i missed
I'm sorry if i asked so much but if i do receive a lot of ROM and Kernels i will make a new post regarding these ROM and Kernels so no one will have to struggle with this and ill give credit to the makes of the ROM/Kernels along with you Guys who made it possible to keep these ROM and Kernels Alive
THANKS AGAIN!

I'm finding it difficult to be civil at this point.
There is no way that you could have checked all the forums and ROM threads. Every ROM I listed IS NOT hosted on multi or mega. Every ROM I listed is hosted on private servers. I strongly suggest that you go by the list I posted as I know for a fact that those are available as I personally host Imperium and the stock SBF's at personal expense.
As far as not finding ROM's this does not seem to be a common issue as not only is there a sticky with ROM links (need to update BTW), almost every live/current ROM is in the first page of the Dev forum.
Mod please kill this thread
Just give me a little more time i really got my photon WAY LATE so a majority of the good ROM/ Kernel are gone. Ill drop this all ASAP

At the top of the Development thread is this;
!!!LOOK HERE FIRST!!! Motorola Photon Compendium a.k.a. all things MoPho
Almost every ROM on the first page of the development forum is current
I am baffled as to how you cannot find a single ROM. As far as kernels, all the current ROMs, except for one, are running the latest kernels so there is really no need to go hunting for different kernels. Older ROMs and kernels means no support so that is the worst place to start.
Lokifish Marz THANK YOU A BILLION!!!! I found a S*** LOAD OF ROMS!!!! YOU ARE A HERO!!!!! I'm done now im just downloading the ROM/Kernel ATM!!! But before i stop reply i need you to to help me on this and this will be the last

Photon Laser ROM?
I wanted to try out the Photon Laser v1.1 ROM, but when I click on the large link that says "Click here for downloads" in the first post of the Photon Laser thread by kennethpenn, it takes me to another webpage where there is a link that says "Download v1.1" and it gives me a 404 error message. I've tried looking to see if this ROM is hosted anywhere else but can't seem to find it. Can someone post a fresh link to this ROM?
wifi and bluetooth died along with touchscreen so im needing to get some warranty work done. i've tried searching for a download that can remove the "unlocked" from boot but all the links i've found are down. can anyone direct me to a working link for an over the air upgraded at&t sbf that will remove "unlocked"
Thanks so much !!!

God bless you and thank you sooo much. Ive been stressing like crazy!
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section to post this in.
I've searched all over several different forums and this entire section and can not find a SBF file for my USCC Electrify to go back to 2.3.4 so that I can take my phone in for repair without locking it forever with the 2.3.5 SBF.
All the SBF links I've found were from the mophoforum.com and are broken links, seems like the site isn't even online anymore.
So if anyone can please help me find the USCC Electrify 2.3.4 SBF file I would be very pleased!

It isn't a contract device I brought it to USCC from a previous USCC account so I doubt they'll do that. Plus I'm not sending it in for repair I'm just taking it to a tech to help diagnose a duplicate sms messages issue.
Btw, thanks for the link! Figured that since it is for flashing the phone it wouldn't go in Q & A.

If they switch it out for an Electrify that shipped with 2.3.5, he can still unlock. My Electrify will attest to that, as it shipped with 2.3.5 as well. Team US Cellular's forum has an "electrify.zip" in their downloads that contains all you need. I don't know if this is here on XDA as well. Now if they OTA upgrade it to 2.3.5 he's indeed stuck locked, and that would be unfortunate, and if I were OP I'd raise seven hells over it. Especially since US Cellular probably doesn't have any Electrifys left to just exchange it...
