How many app's do you have and what do you have running? Some app's (google maps I know) even if you have not opened it, is in the background. add this to Facebook, Yahoo messenger, news, weather, stocks, ect..........you can suck it up pretty good.

Have you tried Supercharged script?

Closing everything doesn't really help because most of it will auto start right back up.

Actually I think he will be able to take the update. But if not, its as easy as going back to stock and manually checking for updates in the about section of settings.

Yes, you can root directly from your phone by using terminal emulator but you have to put photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp first. I rooted my photon on the phone itself.

Did you install superuser from market? You also need to install Superuser and push photon-torpedo.tar to /data/tmp
then type the following in terminal emulator:
cd /data/tmp

/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh

Not sure if you were responding to me or the other guy but my MacBook and my Linux laptop both recognize my phone but they both say its offline when I try and use a adb. Some people say they have done this root without the computer and just using the terminal on the phone but I get permission denied messages since it needs root. I have super user installed but that does me no good without root. I want to know how they got past the permission denied using the terminal on the phone?

Make sure you have USB debugging checked. Menu > settings > applications > development. This was my problem when I first tried to adb the file to the /data/tmp folder on the phone.
Also, I was getting an error at "Run /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh," but I just ignored it and kept going. It worked. You can use root checker from the market to verify that you have root.

Root access without dock or computer

Ok...first off i know this is not supposed to be in general discussion but as my new status will not let me reply to the relevant thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216131). I just wanted to share how I achieved root access (without a computer) by using bits of different advise from other users. I take no credit for any of this, I don't know any commands but I obviously have an idea of what they are trying to accomplish. Here goes:
First Step:
Download Superuser from market
Download Terminal Emulator from market
Download Dolphin HD browser
Navigate to the above linked thread in the Dolphin broswer and Download photon-torpedo.tar
Once all these are installed reboot your device.
Second Step:
From the terminal emulator enter commands pressing enter after each.
cd /tmp/
cp /sdcard/download/photon-torpedo.tar . (note the "space" and "period" at the end)
chmod 777 photon-torpedo.tar
/bin/tar xf photon-torpedo.tar
./photon-torpedo.sh (you will receive errors at this point, IGNORE)
./install-su.sh
Reboot your device
Third Step:
Run terminal emulator
Enter the command su
At this point it will ask for superuser rights and you are rooted.
*The reason for this thread is that I had to take bits from different responses and piece them together to get this to work. Hope this helps someone as I wanted give back to the community. Again...all credit goes to the original contributors.*
*Fixed typo*
*Theory - If you have a SD card installed when you download the file change the second command line to " cp /sdcard-ext/download/photon-torpedo.tar ." (note the "space" and "period" at the end)*
*Another hint - Determine the location of your /tmp/ folder prior to attempting root (download a file explorer from market) and modify as needed. Some have needed to use /data/tmp/ *

Actually that is supposed to be cp. I believe it copies the photon-torpedo.tar to the /tmp/ folder where it needs to be located in order to run. (I could be wrong on my logic but that is what worked for me)

should be

To be quite honest i haven't felt the need to flash a rom on the mopho so you'll have to research that one yourself. To flash though you normally need to install a bootloader and im just not familiar with the process on this phone. I only rooted to access wifi hotspot and a few other apps.

Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p24 of=/sdcard/system.img
there are other ways to get a dump, like simply getting the content:
Code:
tar czvf /sdcard/system.tgz /system
both commands need root, and they are quite possibly not on the device by default, so you probably need busybox
i don't really recommend the second command, because some other blocks are mounted into the system (like the modem),
so you would get unnecessary data
Thank you very much. :thumbup:

Rooting Motorola Photon

I would appreciate if somebody could tell me step by step on how to root my phone.
There are many different variants on the photon-torpedo method that you can find on these forums, the stickies, and through google search, but here is the step by step method I prefer. Credit goes to Edgan.
Photon Root Instructions
1. Create a folder in the C:/ drive on your Windows 7 machine called Photon root. (You can call it anything you want, but that’s what I called mine and will use for the purpose of this post).
2. Download and install the adb package from http://gititbit.ch/AFAS and install them into C:/Photon root.
3. Download photon-torpedo.tar from http://proton.cygnusx-1.org/~edgan/photon/photon-torpedo.tar and copy it to C:/Photon root in your windows machine. Do not unzip it.
4. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and select USB Debugging.
5. Plug your phone to your computer and on your phone, set it to USB Mass Storage.
6. Copy photon-torpedo.tar from C:/Photon Root to your phone’s internal storage using Windows 7. Don’t put it in any folder, and leave it zipped.
7. Install Superuser from the Market. (This is absolutely necessary to do before you get started or it won’t work)
8. Open the command prompt (Start >> run “cmd” >> enter)
9. Type the following commands – don’t worry about the errors, it will be all right
• cd C:/photon root • adb push photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp • adb shell • cd /data/tmp • /bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar • /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh • /data/tmp/install-su.sh
10. That's it. Reboot and enjoy.

reboot and try again but make sure you're rooting with the 2.3.5 method and not the 2.3.4.
* daemon not running. starting it now *

"please type /data/tmp/torpedo.sh and press enter"
"then type /data/tmp/install.sh and press enter"
type exit and press enter. type exit again and press enter
wait for the phone to reboot. if a message says you are now
rooted you should have root access!

try this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1819660
it looks like you tried the method from my site that i made. which was actually intended for the Electrify. i'm not sure if it works on the photon at all. let me know how this one works out.
Tried that one too. Same stuff. What sucks is there isn't an sbf to just reflash the damn thing and start from scratch

you might not like this idea but.. you could try factory resetting? maybe that will help? you could also try loading the files on the phone and doing it from terminal? see if you can get some better results? if you're familiar with linux like commands you should have no trouble doing it from the phone.

He is using the photon direct method which will work on 2.3.5. Or 2.3.4.

Download root browser lite and check and see if the directory /lib exists.

I don't know what the direct method is. I've never heard of that. All I know is he's trying the ones intended for 2.3.5. One I made that works for the electrify 2.3.5 and another for the photon on 2.3.5.
What do you suggest then?

I'm assuming you mean the libs file in the system file?

There is, but its a rather long process. Check Peetr's SV2 thread. There is a step by step

No there is a set of circumstances that when that directory is not there which causes similar issues. Just ruling it out.
