[Q] Root unocked photon - Motorola Photon 4G

new to this. Love my 3d but want to learn more about rooting. I have rooted all htcs out right now but i have a buddy who has a unlocked photon with superuser installed. The person who said they were gonna root it stopped at that. There is no recovery img. What is the best method of flashing a recovery img. Doing the steps in the forums using the terminal emulator doesn't work. I dont know if this is because superuser is already there. I think photon is a awesome phone but would be awesome to flash some other roms on. Any help would be much appreciated.

If superuser is there it may be rooted. Download terminal emulator from market and open it then type SU. It should pop up and ask if you want to "allow" super user permissions. Also when you turn it off and reboot does it say "unlocked" on the top left corner?

I know its got su but can I, and if so how do I get clockwork img or another recovery img on it.

Rooted, had superuser access then lost it?

Rooted last night, superuser was working fine but this morning I lost all superuser access. Uninstalled SU and reinstalled it. Rom manager gained access but others won't. Now even when I try to flash CWM recovery it says "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!". Any ideas?
you might have to look in this thread, and get the working SU that way

Thanks, I was reading over that a few minutes ago. I'll give it a try
Tried to flash that patch but I can't boot into recovery. It boots into the bootloader, I select recovery and it just goes back to the white bootloader screen. Am I missing something?
since su works with rom manager, press menu and clear cache and try to push clockwork back on your phone. also there is a option to wipe clockwork mod everytiem you update it. alot of people have success with that.

I did that, rebooted like 10 times trying to get into recovery and for some reason I know have su permissions again.... I dunno what happened.
But how do I get into cwm to install rom's and backup/restore? I keep getting the white bootloader screen for some reason.
Sorry, double post....

there is an option in rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery, but i edited my last post.. maybe you need to push clockwork again if it isnt going into recovery the manual way, might not be loading the files properly

Seems like something might have gotten messed up. Now I lost all su permissions again. lol. I probably should unroot and do the process over again. I've tried the option in rom manager but it takes me to the bootloader screen and when I select recovery it just takes me right back.
I also had this same exact problem. The reason was I had messed something up during the root process. What happened to me is I switched the RUU's around and ended up with the wrong one. My opinion would be to re-root using the original ADB method and make sure you are using the correct RUU. If you need assistance just PM me and I will guide you step through step to re-rooting your T-Bolt.

I thought for sure I used the right RUU files but it was late so I could have messed up. I would appreciate any help, I used the windows one click method. Not too familar with ADB but I have played with it a lil. PM me when ever you get a chance. Thanks bro.
Mad props to stedrocklp for all the help last night. The help that people give on this site is why it's the best.

no root after OTA....

alright, how bad did I screw up here? Got the OTA notification last night, read nothing but good things and most keeping root through the process. I missed an important detail of using the OTA rootkeeper. So I'm currently on the latest update and lost root. I've tried one click 1.1 to no avail so far. I am unlocked and was rooted prior, but never got around to installing a recovery (hadn't found a ROM I was quite happy with enough to lose all my data just yet)
So.. all that said, is there a root option for the latest OTA yet?

Yes, all you need to do is flash Amon Ra through fastboot and reboot to recovery .. under the developer menu option on Amon Ra you have the option to install SU and superuser . Just run that and reboot you would have to unlock of course to install Amon Ra
Looks like I'm installing AmonRa today. Thanks!!!! I'm from a moto world where CWM and SPR are all we had.. the feature to install SU binary from recovery is new to me haha

Odd, do you have the superuser app in your app drawer ? Otherwise , I heard to download it from the market and it will work .
I did it this way and I read about it from others that did it this was as well.
I need some help, please - I may have made a very bad assumption here...
I just got my Rezound today (upgrading from a Thunderbolt). I saw the stickied thread about how (relatively) easy it was to perm-root the phone after the bootloader was unlocked, and I assumed that this all still applied after getting the OTA update (not realizing that the OTA update was JUST released - my assumption was that it was older and already dealt with).
So I got the OTA first thing after activating the phone, THEN unlocked the bootloader, THEN tried to root via One Click - I tried both OneClickRoot_1.1 and Super OneClick 2.3.3.0, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I'm getting "Permission denied" errors on mounts and "read-only file system" errors for CHMods and file copies during the Zerg Rush process. It says "Congrats you are now perm rooted", but it doesn't seem to be true - I was able to install SuperUser from the market, but the BusyBox installer says it can't find the su binaries, so I'm not convinced SuperUser is actually working.
Considering that I never had root access to the phone prior to installing the OTA, is there anything I do besides waiting for one or more of the root tools to be updated to deal with the new OTA?

got it.. had to attempt the SU install twice.. also reboot DIRECTLY from recovery, do NOT reboot back to bootloader. I think that's what killed it for me. And yes in the end I did have to install the superuser app from the market to get it working again.

I'm having a serious issue here - for unknown reasons (I have NOT installed any ROMS or ANY non-OTA updates whatsoever), my Rezound is no longer able to connect to Verizon's network, for data or voice (it just says "no service"; WiFi works fine). As I said in my previous post on the previous page, I just got the phone today, and was trying to use OneClick to root my phone, but it isn't working because of the OTA update, and at some point I think the radio got screwed up.
So my intended remedy was to download the rooted stock rom and install that, but, naturally, it doesn't pass signature verification on the stock recovery. So I tried to follow another set of instructions to get AmonRa recovery installed, but the bootloader keeps rejecting the PH98IMG.zip file, telling me (depending on which one I try to use) that there's "no image or wrong image" or "Main Version is older! Update Fail!". Furthermore, I tried to extract the PH98IMG.zip file from the rooted stock rom file that I downloaded from the link on this site, but that zip file is corrupted (it won't open on my PC, even after I re-downloaded the rom).
Can someone help me figure out how to get AmonRa installed? From there, I can hopefully get the rooted stock rom installed. OR, at the very least, help me run a radio update so the phone will at least work until an easier root method becomes available?
Thanks.

I got the rooted ota rom installed easily, and better yet, the root worked perfectly. The problem is, I still can't connect to any wireless networks (aside from wifi).
I used the tool linked in the previous response to flash a boot.img I got out of this thread (specifically, the stock 2.01.605.11 w/ 1/26 OTA), but still nothing.
Any thoughts?

back. After reboot, I installed superuser from market, then updated the binary.
Titanium Backup now works and I can confirm regaining root after the OTA update. To protect myself from this in the future, I have installed OTA RootKeeper. OTA RootKeeper has been confirmed to backup superuser and is a simple way of restoring superuser after an OTA.
I did not have to backup anything on the internal sdcard, as I did not lose any data through this process, but it never hurts to do it, just in case. I am running the stock Rom, and unlocked through HTC-dev.
Thanks to con247 and andybones for pointing me in the right direction.
I am not responsible for any issues with your phone, so proceed at your own risk.

[Q] How do I reinstall stock recovery?

I tried flashing CWM through RomManager without first being HTCDev unlocked. Duh!
But now it seems I have no recovery at all. If I try to reboot into recovery I just end up at the bootloader with no option for recovery. If I power off and then boot up with pwr+vol dn, I get to the bootloader with the recovery option, but if I select it I go to a screen that says:
This build is for developement purposes only. Do not distribute outside of HTC without ...

I don't plan on installing custom ROMs so I'd like to just get back to the stock recovery.
Help appreciated.
If you're not going to flash ROMs why you even messing around with rom manager and CWM? Anyways go to development section and find the CWM thread. There you'll find a link for the stock recovery that you have to flash via terminal emulator.

I used CWM and RM on my OG EVO all the time so after rooting the LTE I kind of started doing it out of habit.
I've changed my mind on the LTE and want to stay rooted but stock.
I found the stock recovery image and tried installing it with fastboot but I can't without unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev.
Is there another way to install it?
Use terminal emulator
And do what with it?
flash ruu im pretty sure that gives u a stock recovery back?? correct me if im wrong
I'd like to avoid wiping the phone unless I absolutely have to. I just _finally_ got it how I want it.
Okay, I got it.
I found instructions on flashing recovery using flash_image. Though I couldn't install flash_image as described. I used ES File Explorer to copy flash_image from my sdcard to /system/bin and then changed the permissions to rwx r-x r-x.
Next I used Terminal Emulator and ran: flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
That worked.
FYI I just reinstalled the stock recovery myself but used the image and the process documented in the OP of the Clockwork Recovery thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1675430
Doing it that way, I didn't need to download an additional program other than Terminal Emulator which I already had, and then the stock recovery image which is linked at the bottom of the OP. Easy peasy!

confused rooting my phone

I have the HTC Rezound with the recently released O.T.A. ICS from Verizon. My objective is to root the phone and kill all of the B.S. bloatware that Verizon feels they must add to the phone. I have posted before to ask how to do this and everyone says root the phone and kill the apk files or alternatively Root the phone and download Rom Toolbox then kill it from there. I have gone through and followed the "[GUIDE] Super-noob guide to unlocking, rooting, and flashing Ziggys kernel" to the 'T' up until its time to load the Kernel. I do not want to change the Kernel so my qquestion is:
If i have gone through the process of rooting my phone it should be rooted at this point. However when I run Root Check Basic it tells me "Sorry this device does not have proper root access." I do not understand why. In order to get full root access am i going to have to continue with installing the Kernel.
Is there anybody who could help me. I am missing.

1. Wrong section. Please post things like this in the general or q&a sections, not flaming, just telling you for future references.
2. If your device has an unlocked bootloader, flash amon ra recovery or twrp and go to the dev menu and it will say something like give Su permissions or root or whatever, just click that.
3. Profit.
4. You're welcome.
To root you should download the latest version of SuperSU zip file, and flash it with anon RA recovery.

You do not need to root your phone to get rid of the bloatware, you can keep your phone stock unrooted and debloat it yourself and not have to worry about flashing anything. To disable go to menu>apps and after clicking an app you see the choice of disabling.
SuperSU not working
I don't know why i cant get this to work. I have flashed the amon recovery to my phone. Followed these steps:
1)Flash AmonRa Recovery.
2) Boot into AmonRa Recovery.
3) Scroll to and enter the Developer menu.
4) Scroll to install Su. DO NOT INSTALL THE ENG (Unguarded) one. Use the other one.
5) Confirm this, when it is finished, go ahead and reboot. You should be rooted.
Downloaded the SuperSU from google play and select install. after a few minutes it comes back and says the SU binert needs updated, I select continue. then after about a minute it says installation failed.

Flash in recovery. If you have already flashed a custom recovery(amon ra) then pull your battery, hold out for 3 seconds, insert battery, hold vol down and power at same time til bootloader boots, select recovery, select flash zip menu, select sdcard(assuming you placed flashed zip on external sdcard), select file, press power to confirm, reboot when done. Now you should be rooted.

What recovery are you using? If you're on Amon Ra you should be able to gain root using that in the developer section > install su & superuser.
If that doesn't work, try flashing Super SU.

It kept my super su so thats still there (not super user) would i need to still flash it? if so how because I don't have root and I'm pretty sure i used amon ra but not a hundred percent and how could I get back to it to enable root if I over looked it I may have because I looked over the options fairly quick and trusted it was gonna set me up with everything i needed, as far as i can tell I'm pretty locked out of my phone thanks for quick reply
Can you boot into recovery or navigate there from the bootloader? I know that sometimes people have sort of lost root when they've done something (can't remember exact circumstance any more) and they've just had to go into recovery and reinstall super user or super su.

I'm not familiar with CWM, but I would think you can flash a zip file using that? If so I would download this Super SU to your external sd and flash that.

Also, it used to be that CWM didn't play nice with the Rezound. I think it ended up getting fixed, but most people stick to Amon Ra or TWRP. If you can't flash the zip through CWM try flashing Amon Ra and doing it with that.
I actually clicked reboot phone from my clockwork I had installed and it prompted me saying root was lost fix or reboot device so I clicked fix and I have root thanks so much for your help I wish I could of flashed supersu to see if that worked for any one with a similar problem because i didnt see any other threads with this problem but they can try it I'm back thanks again :laugh:
Glad to hear it. Enjoy!
