ROM Manager now has photon support(Broken) - Motorola Photon 4G

Announcement ROM Manager now shows the photon as a selectable device, clockwork flashes but the graphics are all off and unusable.

Link goes to a home improvement site..?

I don't think it does...it's a link to a tweet from clockworkmod(koush).

I updated the app and ran a backup and it worked, but that was some odd squiggly stuff going on with the graphics. Koush will get it worked out. Oh, the link worked fine for me.

I had to flash the recovery manually again from here->http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1218417 to get it back to a workable recovery. The one that rom manager flashes is completely unreadable and I even tried flashing a zip of the recovery from the link I posted, but it just booted back into the squiggly one without flashing it. So I had to push it manually with adb.

I flashed the linked version via Rom manager wiping dalvik and it restored just fine.

Probably because your bootloader is not unlocked

The Atrix just got cm touch recovery. We can't be that far behind them.

its just a matter of flashing it really. do they have source? i can prolly compile it for the "photon"

How did you "brick" it. With the sbf's available and rsd lite, these phones are pretty hard to brick. I had to manually push the recovery again because of the squiggly one, but that was the extent of it.

Im talking to koush via twitter now. Hopefully he can figure it out.

Apparently it has been fixed.

How many people have unlocked using HTC's method? And how did it work? You like it?
I did...on a Mac at that too. It was easy...no problems.
I've done it on my win7 machine. Process went smoothly, no problems. Only draw is you have to use fastboot to flash ramdisks/kernels. no biggie

Me. I used the HTCevohacks method. I just liked the fact that he included all the stuff in one download rather than downloading multiple things from HTC.
Everything works well. The fact that you have to boot into recovery through fastboot is a bit annoying. Can't just download a ROM manager, download a ROM and flash it. But it isn't too bad.
I've got infected ROM with ziggy kernel and OC to 1.6. No problems.

ego disseravi cum HTC
was easy and worked perfectly on my mac. no setup at all cuz i already had fastboot and adb. just run one command, copy the code, download the unlocktoken, and flash!
sucks to have to boot into recovery from fastboot boot every time i wanna flash a nightly tho...

It "shouldn't" affect the insurance unless it can be proven that your mods are what caused the problem with you phone. Hard to prove and can be hard to disprove.
That's the only reason I am waiting for a non-HTC method of rooting. I like to keep the rooting under the radar just so they don't have a chance to use it against me some day. Call me paranoid.

Touchscreen recovery! Gonna save some hardware buttons at the least.
sent from a mopho powered by cm 7 covered in BluMagic
its more than its just touchscreen.. you can craft entire themes around it now you can literally make it look like how you want. plus you can have zips that display all sorts of cool **** when they install
but IMO the biggest thing is there is a live console output on every screen.. so should something not work while flashing etc then you can see more then just "status 7 ERROR!!!!"

He might port it from the atrix, no guarantee's though.
ALSO, if anyone has any bugs to report, or fix's, tweet it at him. he will usually get back to you after like 2 or 3 tweets.

i had did the update via rom mgr and it was all distorted to,, had to reflash thru fastboot to fix. glad its working now
