this section on xda for electrify/ photon is just about dead now. this Pisces used to be very active but now seems like everyone left. .... where did you guys go? just in the last few weeks this place went from a very active community to barely there.. .... massage someone should just start an electrify section and just post what ever works for electrify from photon there..... sure sprint gave the photon an eol but it is still an awesome phone! and us cellular still had their rebadged version for sale now.... so as i said. .. where did you all go? i miss you all.

Even knowing this, won't let me go away from Motorola.
After a month using Galaxy Nexus, I decided that Photon is better for me.
I'm still here, not for long, but I'm still here. Others check in here and there, but its getting far and few! as stated, 2.3.5, locked, bootloader!
Not to mention, HTC EVO 4G LTE, SGIII, AT&T Note........And why should I wait "Years" to get LTE (if years) when I can have it now?
nice to know I'm not the only one still here i love my electrify and I'm surprised more aren't working on locked bootloader. if i had any know how i would dedicate all my free time to attempting unlock. i have played with other phones and i love my electrify. only thing that would replace it at the moment would be a droid razr esque phone or a droid4 esque phone our the rumored photon q. .... if only my electrify could have ics..... dang bootloader
#ICS-lessMotorolaElectrify, ThanksMotorolaForYourIgnorance
I'm glad I'm not the only one still here. i love my electrify. if only it had ics. ive played with other phones and love my electrify. only thing that would replace it would be a droid razr esque phone, a droid 4 esque phone(i do miss my qwerty keyboard), our the rumoured photon q, if any of those come to u.s. cellular. if i had any know how, i would dedicate all my time to attempting to unlock bootloader.

Yeah it feels like recently we're waiting for a new breakthrough or kernel source to appear, I think that would give the forums a kick in the butt.
But there has been some excitement over GSM finally being unlocked for use in the U.S. on the Photon, which is pretty awesome!

Me, too. Love my MoPho. I'm rooted,locked, and surviving quite nicely. The MoPho has allowed me to keep my rootaholic addiction under control. Hanging out here is like being in a bar and just drinking club soda. You can still be with your friends; just don't get the same buzz.
I've been here for a while, I'm not used to comment on threads so often, but I'm always reading new threads and the developers section stuff.
Well, I've had this phone for a couple of months, and I'm satisfied with it. My phone came rooted, I fixed the multitouch thing, changed the bootanimation and I can't wait to unlock it and try the Kitchen Sink rom
Im gonna be here pretty frequently as well

a new OTA update is coming soon. i imagine forms will be active when that happens.
people will be returning to stock to get it and then rooting again.
also i think alot of people will have wifi tehter questions

Link provided above. Btw xda search sucks. The best way to find anything on xda is to search it in Google. For example, for your 8 point mod I searched, "8 point mod, photon, xda" and it was the first link. Anytime I need to find something on xda I always search Google for it and it has always been within the first couple links

Seasoned Samsung Vibrant users,
I just got today Sept 30th my Samsung Vibrant, I hope that this GPS problem that I have it's just SOFTWARE and not HARDWARE problem and you may tell me with your experience / suggestions what this is about.
Before the Samsung Vibrant, I was using a HTC Mytouch 3g slide, the GPS on my slide has been very accurate, what I can tell you is that from my bedroom My slide detects properly my home address using Google maps, with Samsung Vibrant usually gives me an innacurate location using Google Maps as well.
I have turned ON the wireless and the GPS on Samsung Vibrant as I did the same with my htc slide and on Samsung Vibrant gives me around 40 to 50 meters difference with a wrong location,
I don't want to use WIFI because it’s not the case, why on my HTC Mytouch 3g slide I don't need WIFI also I won’t have WIFI everywhere where I go, so I want that the Samsung vibrant works at least the same or better than a HTC phone GPS hardware.
so my question Is that a hardware problem or software issue?
My HTC Mytouch 3g slide never fails where I'm in my bedroom or other place where I go and test it and this Samsung is getting me out of my nerves that isn't accurate at all.
HARDWARE or SOFTWARE problem?
If it is software I will wait, but if it is hardware, I’ll be very disappointed.
Thanks I really appreciate your answer about this issue,
I have 14 days to test it and if I'm not happy with it I can return it depending what this problem is.
OMG please use the search function.
It IS a software issue... vibrant is well knows for its gps to be messed up.. the new 2.2 is coming out in approx a month and it will have a gps fix and also make ur phone faster plus alot of other things
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I have been trying to refrain from jumping on people for stupid posts, BUT ...
The gps issue has been an issue with the Vibrant since day one, and there are most likely hundreds of threads on it already ....
I know it is a little scary but that search box does not bite ...
Hell a google search of "Samsung Vibrant GPS" should tell you all you need to know ..
Come on people use some common sense and search first, at least pretend to search for the sanity of the rest of us ...

Wow, everyone is being kinda douchy here.

No i agree with you. I dont think I ever post questions here. I usually use my friend google and figure it out myself HOWEVER I also remember when i first got my very first android phone "G1" and was soooo lost at where to even begin. To the OP... they are right, you can find most anything by searching. I guess I only said that because some people just get plain rude. Not necessarily talking about you watcher64. Your post wasnt bad, just didn't really give any answer.

No offense taken , I just remember the old days of the forum, where this was a place to come learn, not to have the answers handed to you.
Seems everyone is looking for the quick fix these days, and really do not want to learn what they are doing or HOW it is actually done, then yell and scream at the people who help them that they broke their phone ...
EDIT:
Just to clarify I was on here almost 2 years before I asked more than a handful of questions, because 99% of the answers could be found by reading and searching, so it does get annoying that so many people want spoon fed these days.
It took you longer to write about your problems than it takes to search .

There is a big difference between not knowing, and "NOT EVEN TRYING", that is the biggest complaint ...
How do you think most of us here got the knowledge we do have, we looked it up, if you work a little for something, you will tend to remember it in the future...
This is a place for Development, and Education , not hand outs, never has been, and should never be taken as so ....
But I digress, you are right why should anybody here give a damn ....
OH because if nobody gave a damn, the people that get ask the questions would not know the answer either ....
No you speak the truth ppl should research, I had an off day when I posted sry if I sounded like a jerk. I do plenty of research on my own b4 doing anything to my phone, and if I brick it I have no one else to blame but myself. For example I have been researching the whole flashing with odin on my spare time, which isn't much still haven't got comfortable enough to try though. I just felt like the guy was getting slapped around a bit too much that's all.

I just had a suggestion, we should just make it simple for this fine phone and devs
or someone should develop a simple unrevoked root and unlock method just like the evo uses.
Current methods are rediculous, all though i got it done,its a hassle for others.
We need to get clockwork through rom manager and get this phone goin with some rom development
the hassle of unlocking bootloader is to much!!
Cmon devs make a one click tool!!
oh mercyful lord, please forgive us, for we have forsaken the most sacred rule!
we have so forgotten that in hacking a device we must not only defeat all security measures on said device, we must do more then include instructions for free on how to do it yourself. we must make it so it does it for you.
/sarcasm
seriously dude? you think that this thought hadnt crossed anyones mind? unrevoked does htc, hence why there is no unrevoked for all the locked moto bootloaders. rather then complain about it take a dive, learn some code figure out how things work and try helping.
and in case you didnt pick up on the irony of it all, check teh dev section i have a one click... just need to fix it thats all >_>

Mods please close this thread.
Guys, let's not let this forum get away from us. I've been apart of other forums that have been ruined by this same sense of entitlement. This stuff will all happen but you have to be patient. The Photon has only been out a very short time.
Besides, rooting is a very simple procedure with ADB. As Shabby said, the one click is on the way. Ticking off the developers is not the way to get things done faster. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect. Please remember that before posting nonsense like this.
This thread is hilarious.

Obviously written by someone who didn't have an Evo on launch day, and doesn't remember that Unrevoked wasn't out until the phone had been out for quite some time. The original root method for the Evo was considerably more difficult than the new Photon method.

By the way you type and spell, maybe you are just too dumb for a method like this. I am a complete noob when it comes to rooting and didn't have a single problem following the instructions. Don't assume that others are as stupid as you are. Most people here are happy with what has been given to us.
Im sorry. I know the question wasn't great. But if its really ok for this guy to be torn a new one for a simple question then xda has really changed for the worst.

Totally agree. He had a suggestion, he did not insult anybody's intellectual property, nor did he directly or indirectly insult any dev for not putting out good work. He simply indicated that current methods are a little involved and that in an ideal environment, we should strive for simplicity. I don't know any dev worth their salt who isn't compelled to debug their code, to improve it, and to learn from their mistakes. Frankly I'm a little surprised at the reaction. Especially the comment about wanting to put the OP "out of his misery." Where I come from, any analogy to terminating somebody's life is incendiary and uncalled for.
no it wasnt a suggestion, it was a call to the devs to hurry up and make things.

why? coming from the epic im sure a lot of users can agree with teh issues that phone had, too many people were run off by people demanding crap.

Hey Guys,
I for some reason flashed KTT16's Undergroud Sea Theme that I didn't know was meant for Joker's ROM. I used it on stock and after a while my status bar kept force closing...
So, I SBF'd my Photon and did all of the latest updates, went to use the ACS AIO Root, and it didn't work.
I got a bunch of errors, and it says after that I should now be rooted. But I'm not!
I've used the same AIO Root for my Photon all of the time, can someone repost a link to the AIO Root, maybe the files got distorted, or there's something wrong with my phone...
Any help?

1- Factory Reset
2- Install drivers
3 - Then SBF to 154_5
4 - SBF to 198_7
5 - Try the torpedo method to root
Done.
I had some bad AIO files.
This issue is now resolved.
Gracias for all of your help!!!
Dude, AIO (All-In-One) Root uses Torpedo, bro!!!
All made by my company --- ACS!!!
I am a Journalist, Researcher, & Press Release Director! I love ACS!
They make rooting the Photon so easy!
And you wonder why Shabby (Shabbypenguin) is so great??? He's an ACS Dev!!! We at ACS make it all happen!

I've noticed some mods are spam infraction hungry when it comes to ACS, so I just wanted to put that out there.

Now I see, lol... Yeah, I'm on sick leave right now so I won't be on ACS as a writer for a while but I am still the acting press release director, and doing press work, although I am on sick leave. I'll be back soon I hope. I can't wait to come back to ACS, but I can't right now .

Just re-download the AIO Files. Google "Motorola Photon 4G XDA Forums ACS AIO Root" anf you should find it, then click on the download link.
My files just got corrupted over time. This is very rare to happen to anyone, files rarely get corrupted. I used the same exact files months ago to root my replacement Photon, and over time they just got a little corrupted. That's all...
Just got the HTC Amaze tonight. So far its ... well ... amazing a bit heavy but over all im quite pleased. I am from canada, and i am on wind network, if i ever decided to go to rogers or something ill always have a compatible phone this should be good for a while now

Good to hear and welcome.
Feel free to root your phone and flash a custom rom.
Few things first.
There is no way to s-off your phone at this time. We're working on it though.
No ETA.
NEVER ask for ETA's from developers! Since most don't like it we try to encourage others not to even ask.
ALWAYS search and read the forums before posting a new thread or even posting a reply in a thread. This will keep you from getting flamed.
Once you get a decent amount of knowledge and experience please share and contribute with the community. That makes my job (as moderator, not 24/7 tech support) a lot easier.
Enjoy!
Thanks! I dont plan on rooting/custom roming for about another month, ill take my time to warm up to understand what S-Offing is and what not. I do know my cousin bought an HTC Amaze to which he installed custom roms/kernels. I am not very demanding so i do not mind. Stock rom is ok, and i hope to see the development grow for this phone as its pretty new

Hi everyone!
Anyway, my name's Wolf (that's what people call me) but my username is Bad-Wolf, obviously.
So, I got this phone for my 13th birthday. Best present ever. Never gotten anything like it. I used to have a HTC Wildfire S, but unfortunately, it got stolen. Link in the description. So I was left without a phone for a few months, depressed, and angry. And I was inactive on XDA for all those months. It felt like I lost my place here. I was quite known in the WFS forum, and I even developed a simple ROM, but I'm not going to name it because if I want to make a ROM here then I want to use the name again. I was also (trying) to make a simple kernel, but then it got stolen so there was no point. I'm quite a noob by the way.
So, I'm going to be here for quite a while, looking at threads and learning. Which is going to be really difficult because there's like a million threads. So if there's anything you think I should see, please tell me.
I applied to be a mod quite some time back, but I didn't get accepted. But I was informed that I would've got the job, because my application was awesome, but they're keeping me for reserve, and I might get picked if they need mods soon.
Also, let's talk about my (social group) TDOT. Which stands for "The Devs of Tomorrow". This was a group that I made a few months ago, and now is growing, and has 50+ members. It's for kids like me who like developing, or want to get into it. I'm currently making the website, and we're still working. But it's a great group, with great people.
I suppose the only work I've done with Galaxy phones is I quickly rooted and unrooted my Mum's Samsung Galaxy S, and I nervously put stock ICS on my Dad's Galaxy S2, using Odin. I was really scared, because I had never used Odin, I didn't want to brick it, and it was my first flash on that phone (after like 100 on the WFS, lol).
I've heard about all the Apple v Samsung v HTC drama. Apple has had a truce with HTC apparently. And I've heard of Samsung jigs, read a bit about them. They do something like force the phone into download mode or something, very useful for resetting the flash counter, and other stuff like that. Also, they can get you out of bricks, if you got a bad situation, maybe even a USB brick (not sure about it).
I want to learn as much as possible.
That's all I can remember to say for now (I'm forgetful). Anyway, I hope I can make good friends here, like I did on the WFS section, and maybe get into the small developing scene.
Sorry if this thread isn't in the right place. Sowwy. So I made up for it by writing all this!

Hello, aleays nice to see new young devs, I hope you feel at home with us
To root you will want to flash cf root in odin to do this dowbload the package, extract the zip once (it includes odin).
Put the phone in download mode, open odin and end all kies processes, connect the usb and odin should say added. Click the pda button and add the .tar file that was in the zip, make sure repartition is NOT checked and click start when it reboots you will be rooted.
To reset the binary counter use the triangle away app either on play store or free on xda.
I'll add links when I'm on my laptop until then search and thou shall receive

Thanks guys. you lot are nice. I thought I'd get spammed saying things like "So what if you brick it" or "Look it up yourself". Anyway, I'll do some more reading. Then I'll get my game face on.

You can join TDOT if you are under 16 years old. That's pretty much the only requirement.
