GSM has been unlocked on sprint branded Photon 4g! - Motorola Photon 4G

Special thanks to Miniassasin23 for doing the testing. I don't have a sim card to test with, and when i test my stuff it often results in my devices being inoperable for long periods of time, and they normally aren't spares either. Utter chaos....

That is the correspondence, post the pictures in a reply to this thread if you want Miniassasin I'd like to see them. Once again thanks, and I'll send you what should be a much more stable kernel that I built last night as soon as you give me an e-mail.
What does this mean now? For anyone who has been wanting to jump ship with their photon, it means you should soon be able to. An alpha release will be posted as soon as I pump a build out that I feel is stable enough (and works well enough) to responsibly distribute. I did a build last night that is untested currently, so if it tests well, the alpha release could be available within 24-48 hours on these boards.
The recommended release will be more for the devs then for the users as it will basically be a demonstration that the GSM code has been isolated and is portable, mine will be the latest stock kernel with GSM unlocked, but I intend to release it with a patch for devs to use to add that functionality to any of their non-stock kernels.

Do you have any proof other then a forum post?
This looks like pure troll.

just release what you have put together so the rest of the devs can collaborate and work together.. many can/will test this and help you debug it.

yes, maybe we'll get some of our lost members back like kennypow3rs to return.

if there are no builds, code, source, or SOMETHING posted up for us to test before morning, I'm reporting this as trolololol.

---

while i havent seen his work firsthand, i can vouch that hes posted around on the forums asking about kernel source, and been in the irc channel talking to me about stuff.....
but i do agree that the release thread shoulda been in dev section while this... shoulda been general

---

hey how do u post pics?

Wow!!!

Thanks for the news at least, waiting for your work

---

Well here's a photo I think

---

i am willing to test i have both tmobile and at&t activated sim cards

---

Congrats on this, I have official sprint documents stating the radio is blocking us carriers. So once this is out that is great. Also we need some github love on this so I can spread that code to every project.

Awesome news, but do try to release source as soon as possible, I'm sure Joker and other devs here wouldn't mind helping out or at least taking a look.

---

So you need to be on CM7 or CM9 to get this working???
I' friggin confused.

You should really take another one and blip or blur your IMEI tho bro. You don't want that falling into the wrong hands if you know what I mean. User or network administrator alike...

Good to know. Now I can get out of Sprint contact, and keep my MoPho.
With HSPA+, I won't even care about Wimax being unlocked as it's just as fast.
So does this flash the radios or something that needs to be implemented into every ROM?

If it will really work. Ussd codes and other gsm services, i`ll go back to photon stock rom, it the best i think

Man I hope this is the real deal
