I've seen some discussion on the other forums (Bionic, Razr) that talked about "safestrap" to flash roms. Is this something that could be applied to the Photon/Electrify?
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
If you meant to say "Bootstrap", you can use it on Photon and Electrify.
No, "Safestrap". It allows one to "hi-jack" the bootloader, and allow for different kernels (ICS, JB, etc) to be ran. There is also mention of any "1st" system and "2nd" system.
From the RAZR forums:

Sorry, I didn't know what you were talking about but now I understand. I tried to find but there's no version for us yet. It's a nice thing and it would be very good if someone develops a version for the Sunfire!

We've got someone developing something called Fission ROM. It's AOSP based I believe.
Fission isn't aosp if it's the same one I used on my droid 2 global
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App
Right now, there's no AOSP rom aside from an early internal motorola build that was leaked from before motoblur was added. However, that rom is very unstable and too many things are broken to consider it usable.
The Fission rom we are talking about is this one. However, the person doing that port has stated on twitter that he doesnt own an atrix and uses a friend's phone when he has access to it, so I"m not getting my hopes up on it.
Since the phone is unlocked what is holding back a aosp rom?

Nope, someone has to build it, no one has yet. Just because there's unlocked bootloader don't mean roms will popup automatically.there has to be people willing to put time into working on it.
I'm trying to use Rom Manager Premium to install ClockWorkMod. It down loads successfully, but then never installs. This is with a rooted Droid X2. Has anyone seen this problem and found a solution to get the install to work?
Yes the X2 is listed under Rom Manager but it's not FULLY supported, yet. Uninstall it. This thread is going to get ugly..i can feel it.

I don't understand why X2 isn't taken off the list yet. No offense to the dev but it's misleading.

youd have to make it work for the dx2, theyll port over, but they dont have the same specs as the x2; like the atrix and photon have more RAM then we do all together, and a front facing camera i believe, so itd be a little more difficult, as well the atrix, photon, and xoom have unlockable bootloaders compared to ours
Sent from my MB870 using Tapatalk
Just a warning. Dont go flashing ROMs from any other phone to your X2. They wont work and you will end up having to SBF. A ROM has to specifically be made for the X2. Phones that are similar to the X2, like the atrix, xoom, etc., are usually used for porting because they only require little changes in the code here and there. But most of the time, its still not as easy as that to just port over a ROM. Bottom line, just flash ROMs that are made for the X2 unless you know what you are doing and know how to port a ROM.
nope...
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.

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.
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2
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.

Sure,.. Thanks
This is a very lofty goal. Moto f*cked this thing so much that we would need a miracle to unlock 2.3.5. I'm not saying you shouldn't try, and with no development experience myself I have no room to talk. I just know that others have tried and have been fruitless, or frauds... I do hope you can crack this **** open, however. This is a devoted community and the ones still with a photon know how great a device we have. I plan on using this phone until it won't boot anymore and I hope that we can bring it to its full potential.

Okay ladies and gentleman I know were all looking for a method to unlock bootloader for 2.3.5 on our photons, don't give up. I'm using my photon on family mobile by doing the methods described in a previous thread. I used RSD lite to flash a us cellular sbf file. I followed all instructions and now I'm using my locked photon on 2.3.5. I flashed kddi file and have my GSM radio unlocked with peetr's rom. Its all working smoothly so I say to all my fellow locked photon users ... you can still use your phone on any GSM network. I know we want to flash a ICS or JB rom but for the time being the method works. Don't give up cause it will be a pity if xda lets this awesome phone go.
