Hate to burst your bubble there sir, BUT...if your Electrify has Android 2.3.5, then you are UNABLE to unlock the bootloader, myself and others are looking into ways to re-unlock the bootloader...again. However, if you are running 2.3.4 then you are set to jet, there is links and info for you, I think there is also a way to disable the 2.3.5 update as well.

Are you guys able to SBF? That may help if there is specific files for the electrify. NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO SBF A SPRINT FILE!!!
I have the Photon, so I have no idea. Motorola doesn't like Sprint, they love Verizon, so that's why we will never get the update on our Photons, including 1080p, or Ice Cream Sandwich, because Motorola hates Sprint, so they barely do anything for them. Any other carrier, sure.
[rant] Like you guys got 1080p updates on yours, and Android 2.3.5, we didn't yet (my phone is having issues for checking for updates so I believe that this is true, but yeah....) I know we haven't gotten 1080p yet, if we ever will. I bet someone will have to port it over, cuz we probably won't get it.
I hate to say it, but you guys will probably get Ice Cream Sandwich, and we won't.
That's how Motorola treats Sprint, and Sprint's customers. We are lucky we even have this phone on Sprint, but if it was on Verizon, it would get ICS, no doubt, but Motorola is faking this relationship with Sprint, because if they wre for real, we would have more high-end Motorola devices at least planned for the Now Network.

We are all keeping it a secret and not posting about it.
Lol, just curious if any devs have news about this, like if it is still in the works, and possibly done, just not posted yet.
I'm with deeds on this one. With all of the recent updates and new kernels and whatnot, its hard to decipher exactly where we stand with this phone, as far as progress. A quick recap of whats been happening would be great.
I love your screen name, it is so awesome, lol.
Check out bravehearts&devs thread by joker he seems to be making progress with unlocked bl having 4g

Link or where to find this ? I would unlock. but I live in a good 4G area.....
Update, its not fixed yet. Limited time plus lack of help= slow progress. However by unlocking you can have cm7, miui(oops secrets out), oc kernels, and other awesomeness. Imagine 60% increase in speed while increasing battery life massively. Thats how we mophos roll.

Same here, no ROM on my phone until there's an unlocked bootloader from Motorola/Sprint that keeps 4G. For now, its just a rooted phone with ADW launcher.

Running Skinny4g ...until the unlocked bootloader 4g issue is resolved
better than stock to me
point me in the right direction!!
I have the photon with an unlocked bootlaoder, I had it rooted but for some reason couldn't flash cwm. So I tried unrooting and returning back to stock following qbking77s how to video. But it told me process failed and phone would just stick at motorola dual core screen. So I reflashed the unlocked version I had and can't undo it! Please help.

I suggest that you start your own thread, (I don't have an issue with you posting about this here), but you'd get more responses for help if you post in a new thread. The only people that will read this are the few with bootloader news, like I said, the few. But, if you ask for help in a new thread, chances are, you'll find what you're looking for. Good luck!
You can unlock your bootloader, flash cm7 (or your rom of choice), and relock your bootloader, and then voila.
CM7 with 4g.
But dont use those as exact intructions LOL.
Theyre are threads about it. Look in the dev section.
You might want to try that out before you suggest it.

I was actually going to post my own thread for devs to give 4g updates hehe
I really appreciate what you devs are doing! Ill always be open to help if you need any, im not a developer but interested in learning and am pretty damn good at the basics of rooting/build.prop recovery etc..
One question (even though i should prob make my own thread im not in a hurry to get the answer plus its half the same subject) i have the cmw RECOVERY, ive been out of town and since im normally in kansas city (sprints headquarters, so perfect 4g everywhere) i just wanted to check, if i have cmw RECOVERY does this mean ive lost 4g?

sorry if this has been posted i couldnt find any where, i am rooted, unlocked shipped 2.3.5 electrify running miui, my question is no matter what rom im on even my rooted stock, when i charge battery to 100 even if i charge over night battery monitor widget instantly drops to 99 when i unplug, may not be the biggest deal but it is annoying, does anyone have any ideas how to fix this or is it just an electrify thing. as always any and all information is greatly appreciated.
My photon does the same thing so I think it's normal :beer:

thank you for the reply
An Electrify's just a Photon with 4G gutted out. Or rather, Sprint's WiMax chip. Some say it's not real 4G (or at least not LTE). As an owner of a 3G phone, I couldn't care much less about the difference.
I rooted mine using the Torpedo method. It's posted here and at Team US Cellular's site. I unlocked (shipped 2.3.5) using the Electrify.zip method, flashed the included CWM recovery, and installed Joker's CM9 build of ICS. Much happier with my Electrify now.
does anyone know if there is a sbf for shipped 2.3.5 on electrify in case i ever need it, dont want to lose unlock capabilities. thanks for any and all info.

I recently got a job with Sprint and ordered a photon 4g to use on my employee line so I'll be able to get the next phone when it comes out, what's generally the best method to achieve an unlocked bootloader? I've rooted and unlocked many devices including the Motorola Atrix which I know is very similar.

You won't be able to unlock unless as an employee you can somehow load 2.3.4. Right now, there is no way to unlock 2.3.5.

A note: if you get this error during the pudding flash, dont worry, it can still work, I've got the error both times I flashed and it works fine.

Yeah I have 2.3.5 :/, idk the warning at the beginning of that post sent kind of deters me from it

its just to cover his ass. If you can follow instructions, its really quite simple. Go for it! Just make sure your battery is fully charged. You will be happy you unlocked it.
Th3 Bill's CM10 in the development section is an awesome rom. way better than stock.

I'm assuming it came with 2.3.5 and not the ota? If ota and you unpick let me know.

Hate to be the party pooper, but you cannot unlock 2.3.5 254_13 or 254_12. There are many threads covering this. You can root it, add bootstrap, and use one of a few locked "ROMs" (for example mof9336's MOF 2.3.5. Slim {locked} De-Blur 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13).
It came with it, I have 254_13

You're permanently locked. You'll never see a custom ROM. Besides locked stock ones. Bleh. I'd recommend a new phone. Unless you love it and gingerbread that much.

Well, i got my photon fixed, and here's the kicker, the new one has 2.3.4 on it, and i know now to not accept the update, so what should i do guys? i'm already in the samsung family with my note 2, but i still have appreciation for my photon, so any suggestions for 2.3.4?
Root, unlock, find your choice of JB ROM.
wow...i never looked into it...the photon seems extremely difficult to unlock :/

i checked it out and the other threads and i just tried for an hour or so, keeps failing in RSD and just won't unlock, so unless i'm doing something wrong, i think i can honestly give up here?
RSD always fails. Try looking through the big fancy Compendium at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393519
Unlock isn't hard, but unlock and still keeping the WiMax is still impossible. If you don't care about WiMax then just use the Note II domestically and flash ICS/JB rom on the Photon for international use.

I understand this, there's lte in my area so wimax isn't a breaker for me (plus the fact that I have 3 other 4g phones) but that's the thing, it really isn't that hard, I'm just running into a brick wall with the failing and I can't get it to work and can't find any info on anything, I'd really like to get my photon on at&t to be honest, but can't get this working :/

did some more tinkering, got everything unlocked and working, now my photon is on at&t, and all is good, screw moto for saying these phones won't run JB!
