That's because it does not work for electrify,only works for sprint.

Do you recommend a diff rom where i can flash kddi to unlock gsm?

It isn't a software issue, it's a hardware issue. The Electrify has hardware that is just different enough from the Photon that the KDDI radio won't work.

Do i have to sbf it back to sprint in order to unlock with kddi?

As far as I know, regardless of what you flash or SBF, you won't be able to use the KDDI radio.

Thats strange cause everyone seems to be unlocking with kddi...everything went smooth until the final step..(flashing kddi)

Wrong Forum. This should be in Q&A

Can you please move topic to Q & A?

Consider it Moved.
In the future, for other posters, posting in the Development Forum is for posting Roms, Kernels, and other pieces of work.
Questions belong in the Q&A where they might have a better chance of being answered.
Thanks!

the electrify has NEVER been able to have GSM unlocked. so if you're on the electrify forget about it. it's not going to happen. only works on the photon at this point.
I have the photon..its the (electrify sbf) i did...

I'm not trying to sound mean but replace the phone. You have turned your phone into an Electrify with no way back to stock Photon.
Wow so no way of unlocking for gsm & no way of going bck to stock to do process all over?

Never flash 2.3.5pudding on a Photon (the pudding thread is locked for that very reason)
2.3.5 Photons CANNOT be unlocked
2.3.5 Photons CANNOT be downgraded to 2.3.4
2.3.5 Photons CANNOT use the kddi radio
2.3.5 Photons can only be rooted (torpedo root method)
2.3.5 Photons can only use 2.3.5 LOCKED ROMs
2.3.4 Photons, simply follow the guide in the Photon Compendium. That's why it's there.
As long as these things are followed you're fine. The 2.3.5 Electrify SBF is usually used to recover from not following the things I listed above. If you can't replace your Photon and flash 2.3.5 Electrify you have to think of your phone as an Electrify and not a Photon.
Please don't try to get it replaced using your carriers replacement program because you flashed the wrong files for a number of reasons. It's better off for everybody if you loose it and file and insurance claim.
Thnx for your help...i guess ill just hope they come up with a way to unlock later...

Loki, do not scare people...
In terms of flashing sbfs or roms there is technically no Photon or Electrify, just Sunfire.
If someone would upload latest webtop in zip and using 254_13 zip from Mof (not sure if it's odexed), anyone can return to full Sprint stuff on Photon, allowing future updates (if there would be some).
Radios are flashable separately and cannot even be flashed from P to E or reverse (nothing to break).
Only three things to worry about, are signature difference between 2.3.4 and 2.3.5, inability of many Sunfire users to search and read and mising active moderator for this Photon forum (some cleaning is really needed).
