SOAK Test - Motorola Photon 4G

We might have a legit one coming soon!

word of warning, if you download this, you may get stuck with a bootloader that is not unlockable. You have been warned.

Seeing as how my bootloader isn't unlocked anyway, I'm not overly concerned.

mine is but i'll make sure they tell me it can be unlocked after installing whatever it is they want installed..... i'm guessing ICS is what they want tested?

I signed up. Hopefully I get selected.

I doubt it's ICS, but you never know. I'm hoping it'll enable 1080p video recording at least.

Why wouldn't it be ICS? The ICS update is due in Q3 and that is not too far away. What do they have left to fix in GB that is a showstopper? I am sure adding a new ICS baseline will probably fix a lot of problems and I assume the prerelease version of ICS will have bugs in it that need to be fixed.

i'm guessing it's something simular to this : http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...egin-tomorrow-but-its-not-ice-cream-sandwich/

Not saying that it isn't, but Q3 is still about two months away. I agree that I can't see any fixes that are needed, but I'm just not getting my hopes up. The only enhancement I can see would be 1080p video recording, which as I understand can be enabled in the software, as the hardware supports it. I believe the Electrify already got this fix months ago. Anyway, hopefully we'll all know something sooner rather than later!

Why would it be anything except ICS? I don't know of course, but why would they bother with GB 2.3.5 when they said ICS in Q3? And the timing fits their Q3 statement - maybe even a bit earlier.

It would be quite a nice and pleasant surprise, wouldn't it, if a manufacturer released an update ahead of schedule?

so we usually have the leak b4 the test.....

Yes I believe that they'd be honest about it... after all its my phone that they are wanting me to put their software on. But in all reality if I asked that question I wouldn't expect a response... but if I did get one I think it'd be a honest one.

Yeah, it's your phone and they want to put THEIR software on it to work on THEIR network. They'll be honest about it.........

Sorry but no cell provider is known for being forthcoming and having the customer's interests above their own I'll wait and see myself.

I dont know if its unlocked because I cant install it. I tried "ADB Install" and that failed because of security certificate and "ADB Push" pushed the file but it did not seem to do anything. It still failed with the host spot. I posted in the hot spot unlocking thread about this. I dont know if there is anything in there that can be used to help us. I really think that we will have to wait for S-OFF to modify the built in hotspot.
Ok, attached are .7Z file that show the versions of /system/apk for both Euro and US Shooter. Had to use .png format because the app I am using "LocalAPK" does not export at this time.

EDIT: Also, great try. Were you temp-rooted during that process? Because I believe we have read/write on the system with the latest perma-temp root, the only downside is that any and all system changes eventually (and always by reboot) reverse themselves.

No, I said I dont know if its unlocked. I posted in the WIP Thread and they said that it would be also locked down. SO no go on that aspect. They do have modded APKs that will work. Just need S-OFF to install them.

Ha, I was contemplating saying that instead. But to stay serious, this is pretty awesome. I might hold off rooting if the date gets announced soon. I think it was perfect time to get rid of my incredible since it's not in the list.
I heard "later this year" for the Rezound on a recent Verizon twitter post.... I'm not holding my breath. And even this link says "sometime this year". That's pretty vague if you ask me.

Why is it up to Verizon anyway? I don't need to get windows updates from my ISP. I don't get why things have to be so different on cell phones. (Other than greed and control, which leads back to greed.)

I know, I bet if they were to release ICS tomorrow with Sense 4.0 and people would be like "I'm sooo pissed that they didn't give it to us yesterday! I mean, you know they had it ready, why didn't they just release it?".
People just need to relax already, have some patience. Also, I really doubt Verizon had a huge executive meeting/decision for the order in which devices were listed. Plus, with the Rom options available to you for it in the last couple of days - you have you're option RIGHT NOW.

I'm glad I updated from the X2 to the Rezound. I was almost certain the X2 wouldn't get it. It wasn't a very popular phone, it has half the RAM as the Droid Incredible 2 as well I think.
The list is in chronological order, from oldest phone to newest, by manufacturer. No conspiracy against the Rezound.

I'm pretty sure the INC2 and the Thunderbolt have 768MB of RAM and the X2 has 512.
So it would seem 768 is the cutoff point, at least roughly.

ICS in Sprint e-mail

So did anyone else get the Sprint message about getting their Photon to run faster, which suggested clearing the browser cache? - Bigger question is did anyone else notice that the Photon in the picture was running either ICS or JB!? It was, complete with the new rounded click/weather widgets and five icons along the bottom of the screen. Now if they'd only distribute and release the source, it would make the devs jobs easier, having ICS/JB drivers.

Well [email protected]! - I read the message and at a quick gander the very subtle differences don't stand out. Of course there's no reason the think those dip-sticks would use the picture of the wrong phone. I was all excited seeing the ICS/JB OS too.
Fingers crossed that new parent Google slaps some sense into Motorola and unlocks the boot loader and releases ICS or JB soon with source code. You know the expression about the chances being slim to none, well slim is on life support I guess.

And is there anything whatsoever in your experience that would conceivably lead you to expect them to be as early as possible rather than as late as possible?
That, of course, leaves aside the question of whether there's anything in your experience that would lead you to expect them to honor this claim in the first place.
Ah ! Moto at it again. With Photon Q LTE out with JB, it is unlikely that we will now get an update to either ICS or JB, even though Google 'promised' to keep hardware refreshed for 18 months. We will most likely be extended an olive branch of $100 credit towards another 'Moto Phone' ... really Moto ?
This is my last Moto phone and likely last Android as well. I am ready to convert to Lumia 920.

Technically the 18 months is not over yet. It has only been close to 14 months since the release of the Photon 4G so Motorola could pull something out of its hat and possibly give us a JB update in early January 2013. All these hints about offering $100 for a future Moto device for any 2011 devices that don't receive the ICS upgrade is pretty telling to me.

So Did i read this correct? is this really true?

Mods...please delete
What real difference is there to you? Technically no you cant yet return to actual stock, but for all purposes i can think of deleting the root from the rooted images is the same thing, what does it actually matter to you?

1.29 update

Is it possible to install the 1.29 update on an ATT HTC One? Would I require an unlocked bootloader to do that? Are there repercussions I should be aware of?
You can flash any International ROM once you're unlocked/rooted/custom recovery. All of which are most likely based on .29 WWE firmware.

Well that is pretty disappointing considering my pictures have horrible over exposure still with any kind of bright light or the sky. The 1.26 to 1.29 images from the PocketNow test are vastly improved. My AT&T One still looks like the pre-updated international firmware pics.

The whole point of having software versioning in increasing order is to correspond to new developments. I have hard time believing the camera, beats and any other "improvements" made in 1.29 is in AT&T's 1.26.
Surely if this were true someone would have some proof. Let's see it?

Doesn't require anything special. Just takes them getting the tuning right. Then they bring the intl version up to date. Hence them getting different version. Remember they released first.

I'm still calling BS. It makes absolutely no sense that one version would be different than another for the exact same development. Anyone that believes otherwise is just naive. There is proof one way or the other, it just has to be revealed.

I believe the 3rd set of versioning numbers are carrier based, but i could be wrong.

I'm still calling BS. It makes absolutely no sense that one version would be different than another for the exact same development. Anyone that believes otherwise is just naive. There is proof one way or the other, it just has to be revealed.
I'm not saying you're "lying" btw. Just having a fun debate. :good:

Why not. Do you know how product cycles work? They just don't make all the phones at one time... Theres the pre production phones which were at the announcement and early reviewers. Then they would of started the intl version production soon after if not it was already done. If they decided to make an adjustment during the making of the intl ONE it's easier to continue the product run and fix with a ota than it is start all over... US versions have to be picked over before production. So they would of had time to tweak software.
So no it's not naive. Saying there's no way is naive .

I'll go take the time to dig through their forums to see if there's a picture or something. I also tweeted and emailed HTC. So we'll see

You are confusing hardware revisions with software. Yes, i know how "product cycles" work. I'm in the field.

Personally I rather one of our smart forum members to give is the 411 on the different binaries within the firmware. As I have said before, the proof is there.
