Help! - Motorola Photon 4G

HEY there, my friend just got a photon and I was looking in to see how to root the device. But I can't find anything to see how to root it.
Is there a post where it shows how to do everything? Unlock, root cmw, how to install a Rom. Thank you in advance

Ooh k Ntz tel me which version do u have?
I did manage to root the phone. And now i am using SlimICS. Thanks for help.
Care to share how you managed to root your device?
I did a search here. And i found the right CF-ROOT for my device. I used ODIN to ROOT the device. Then i used the CWM to install SlimICS rom. I dont know how to explain more. But if you search in the forum you will find almost any answer. I hope it helped.

First thing search for cf-root for your device. On the cf-root page you will understand how to identify the correct file for you. Download the file. Use odin following details about how to use it. Get your phone in download state. Volume down+power button+home button. Odin will detect your phone. After cf-root its time to install a custom rom. I use slimics look at the forum for it and the way to install it on your phone. I hope this helped you.

I found a easier, simple method.
root and unrooting without flashing unsecure kernal.
May be this simple 1 click method helps u
I just did in my p500 gb and now my using p500 with gtr rom. Trust me its so simple

[Q] Can I upgrade from this and keep root?

Sorry to post this here, but I can't post in the Development forum yet. But I went to a custom rom a long time ago and backed up my original stock rom. Could I load that rom and do the upgrade to keep root? I know I'll loose TWRP and all that stuff, but as long as I have root access I'll be happy. Here's a screenshot of all the info on my stock backup. Thanks in advance for your help

Theres a post in the dev section about upgrading and keeping root
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.
Yeah I was referring to that post. My question isn't how to do it, but if I do that with how my phone is set up, will it brick my phone?

If you really want to do this, trade with someone who already has a locked bootloader. Your planning on wasting a mdk phone that a lot of people would kill for.

try kingo root http://www.kingoapp.com/
srs root http://www.srsroot.com/
or if you have stock recovery in your
phone directly install superuser.zip or
probably flash cwm and then
superuser.zip
or try framaroot
Well framaroot doesn't work. Where would I get the superuser.zip from? I have stock recovery but dont know what I can do. I can't find anything on the polaroid s10 only same brand just dif model.
Looks like that there isn't anyway to root the polaroid s10 Maybe downgrade it or something, but I wouldn't know how to do that either. Please someone on the interweb help me with this tablet.

In this case, that is a good thing FYI. Cydia Impactor should be able to get you rooted then. Follow the directions in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47966088#post47966088
It may say this is root method for a different device in that post but Impactor works on alot of phones and I am too lazy to write out directions for you lol (too much turkey last night), it is much easier to just link to that post.
If you have any problems let me know and I will do my best to help. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Thank you so much that did the trick :victory: I didn't think that it would ever be rooted. Thank you again for your help :victory:
By chance do you know of a custom recovery that will work with the S10 ? And maybe a custom rom? I'm really sorry to keep asking lol

You could just hit my thanks button at bottom left of any post. Sorry but I do not know of any custom recovery of roms for this specific device, you may try googling but since you could not find a root method until now I dont think there is much development for this device sadly.

Well that stinks I don't really like the stock rom. I have cyanogenmod on my phone, wish that more poeple would start to work on this tablet soon.
ok so now my polaroid s10 is stuck at the boot logo and I can't get past it. Please help me :crying:
Don't know if you were able to fix your boot loop, try looking for a way to hard rest. As for root, the tablet comes rooted. You have to download 1mobile and install superuser and you have full root. As for getting play store and Google frame work. Go to polaroid site and there will be a download for phoenixsuit that you will have to download and install from a computer. Hope some of this helps
download the updated rom
heres the link. installs thru pheonix suite

[Q] Help unroot can't root again!

Hey guys, I have a little problem I tried to find the solution in other posts, but I didn't found it, so this is my last hope... I hope you can help me.
So I have an Asus Memo Pad HD7, and I rooted it using framaroot 1.9.3, then one day it appeared a firmware actualization in my notification bar, I updated NY android and then after some days I just wanted to check if the unroot option in the framaroot worked, well my mistake it worked to well, after I clicked I rebooted and them the supersu was gone and I had unrooted tablet again, but when I tried to root again it told me it was rooted and then after reboot it wasn't... I can't root it again
The weird part is that recently I made another firmware actualization and supersu appeared magically in my phone, I tried to start it, but it showed an error saying my phone was unrooted... then I uninstalled supersu and tried to root again, but I can't...
Please help!
P.s: I didn't instal any rooms and I already tried factory reset in settings.
P.s.s: The weirdest part is that people say they unrooted to do a firmware update, while I did it with my rooted tablet. And Avast says my device is running in high privilege mode, but Root Checker says it's not.
Please any help will be appreciated!
Without knowing which firmware you are on now, it's not really possible to tell you how to reroot correctly.

My android is 4.2.2, my kernel version 3.4.5 and my model name is ME173X. I can't find the firmware though, the best I found is this: Camera firmware: 80000 and Build Number: ME173X_WW_user_4.2.4.04152_20140714 release-keys.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2503668
Recovery + SuperSU zip or custom rooted stock rom will probably be the way to go.

Sorry, I don't have a lot of experience with android devices so, I hate to say it, I'm kind of noob on that. Can you please help me with a tutorial explaining how to do that?
Thank you very much
Framaroot uses a bug to get Root access and root the Device.Maybe the update has been fixed.Try to downgrade your Software and root again.

I don't have the device, so I can't really help directly, but I mean, there's a picture guide with stuff circled that you need to do. If it's too complicated then it would be wise to invest in having a qualified shop or tech to help.

How is downgrading any easier than the root guide for the current version you're on...?
I think rooting via Fastboot is safer than framaroot.

I provided the link to what you need already. It's on the 2nd post of the thread. It has a step by step with pictures. You need to unlock the bootloader and install the custom recovery so you can install the superuser zip. If you can't follow the picture guide, then you should really enlist the help of someone who does this for a living since this is your only tablet and are very unsure of yourself.

I reread everything and I think I now understand what I need to do. Correct me if I'm wrong: unlock the bootloader, flash the custom recovery and Install supersu.zip. Can you tell me how I install the supersu.zip?
Thanks for everything.
