Rom help - Motorola Photon 4G

Is there a rom that webtop and 4g works on?
Thanks.

Stock?
Look at lokfishmars' posts. I believe he has a locked rom with a working webtop.

An unlocked Photon means no 4G period. Not gonna happen
Locked phones do have 4G and very little rom selection.

Mof is your only option. But Mofs rom is kindof one step below the definition of a 'custom' rom due to the use of stock kernels. Its more of a modified stock rom. But for what youre asking for, its worth it.

Hacked Sprint Hotspot

on my evo 4g there was a zip i would flash and it unlocked my hotspot and i didn't have to use any third party apps. is there such a thing for the evo 3d as well i enjoy the stock rom and i like the concept of everything looking as stock as possible while increasing my functionality i tried searching the forums but to no avail.
any help appreciated
thanks,
eric
Flash Steele H's rom. Its stock but heavily tweaked and has the hotspot unlocked. I've been running it since release with no problems. Especially once I loaded chads latest kernel, the rom just got a lot more smoother.
Locked & Loaded
""shooter on Deck""
My ROM is stock, but has features such as Sprint HotSpot and Beats audio unlocked. Also not heavily modified, kept it stock for those who like that.

My laptop back at my dorm has a zip to flash that will give you the hacked hotspot for stock. When I get back to my dorm I'll send it to you.

Without bootloader unlock, you can't even sneeze in /system, much less make changes. Sorry man.

We are all keeping it a secret and not posting about it.
Lol, just curious if any devs have news about this, like if it is still in the works, and possibly done, just not posted yet.
I'm with deeds on this one. With all of the recent updates and new kernels and whatnot, its hard to decipher exactly where we stand with this phone, as far as progress. A quick recap of whats been happening would be great.
I love your screen name, it is so awesome, lol.
Check out bravehearts&devs thread by joker he seems to be making progress with unlocked bl having 4g

Link or where to find this ? I would unlock. but I live in a good 4G area.....
Update, its not fixed yet. Limited time plus lack of help= slow progress. However by unlocking you can have cm7, miui(oops secrets out), oc kernels, and other awesomeness. Imagine 60% increase in speed while increasing battery life massively. Thats how we mophos roll.

Same here, no ROM on my phone until there's an unlocked bootloader from Motorola/Sprint that keeps 4G. For now, its just a rooted phone with ADW launcher.

Running Skinny4g ...until the unlocked bootloader 4g issue is resolved
better than stock to me
point me in the right direction!!
I have the photon with an unlocked bootlaoder, I had it rooted but for some reason couldn't flash cwm. So I tried unrooting and returning back to stock following qbking77s how to video. But it told me process failed and phone would just stick at motorola dual core screen. So I reflashed the unlocked version I had and can't undo it! Please help.

I suggest that you start your own thread, (I don't have an issue with you posting about this here), but you'd get more responses for help if you post in a new thread. The only people that will read this are the few with bootloader news, like I said, the few. But, if you ask for help in a new thread, chances are, you'll find what you're looking for. Good luck!
You can unlock your bootloader, flash cm7 (or your rom of choice), and relock your bootloader, and then voila.
CM7 with 4g.
But dont use those as exact intructions LOL.
Theyre are threads about it. Look in the dev section.
You might want to try that out before you suggest it.

I was actually going to post my own thread for devs to give 4g updates hehe
I really appreciate what you devs are doing! Ill always be open to help if you need any, im not a developer but interested in learning and am pretty damn good at the basics of rooting/build.prop recovery etc..
One question (even though i should prob make my own thread im not in a hurry to get the answer plus its half the same subject) i have the cmw RECOVERY, ive been out of town and since im normally in kansas city (sprints headquarters, so perfect 4g everywhere) i just wanted to check, if i have cmw RECOVERY does this mean ive lost 4g?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Nevermind! Saw some post on how to unlock your bootloader! Ive nevee had to do a bootloader unlock before thats why i was confused and ive rooted atleast 5 different devices.

Thinking of rooting - Sprint

What's a rom that has good battery life and speed? Also need stability but understand there will be bugs on most roms. I hate the laggy ness on stock.
What recovery is recommended for installing roms? This is the Sprint version. Oh and I need a rom with 4G working, I don't have Wi-Fi at home and 3G on Sprint is a joke.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
My understanding is (and Im stupid) 4G is lost when you unlock but if you dont have it anyway, why care? 3G is a joke and i rarely use it!
As for recovery, look for me "I F'ed UP" thread. you loose everything, but you get your phone back!
I am in a area where I DO get 4G wimax. Is there a decent rom that has 4G working?

Assuming you are still on 2.3.4 and not 2.3.5 you can use mofs rom. Its generally a stock rom but you'll get 1080p camera, some bug fixes, notification bar toggles and much less lag. You'll just need to root, install bootstrap recovery, and flash it.

Ever since updating to 2.3.5 I've noticed battery life that's better than ever. And the lag can be rid off of simply by choosing a different launcher from Blur. Like Go or ADW. IMO.
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
I am actually on 2.3.5 and I put go launcher on last night. So far it's cool, better than stock blur. I was hoping there'd be a decent rom out but I understand having locked boot loaders really sucks. Thanks for all the helpful replies!! I really appreciate it!!

One does not simply retain 4G
On an unlocked bootloader

Either post in cybik's CM7 thread or in General or Q&A.. Dev section is not the correct section for this thread..!

What he said. Can't be done. You have to unlock to run cm7 or any custom rom, and once unlocked, you no longer have 4g. Sorry.

Think OP may be referring to the old school way of unlocking then relocking, but I don't believe that will work with CM7.

Only works with ROMs can use the stock blur kernel. Cm7 does not and can not.

[Q] Is peeter's ROM good for Photon Sprint

I am currently rooted with 2.3.5 locked bootloaders using Slim Photon rom. I am wondering if I can flash Peeter's rom on my MoPho Sprint as his post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1587770) does not talk about its compatibility with Sprint models.
If anyone using this ROM can help me guide.
Yes. Flash the locked version and the correct system version modules otherwise you'll most likely lose WiFi or radio capabilities.
Edit: I'm sorry, just flash the 254_12ril.so file

Great. Shall try & flash it today. Was little worried since it failed to boot up the last time when i tried this
I believe peetr's ROM does not support 4G wireless. Just make sure.
Sent from my Slim Photon using xda app-developers app
That's what I'm using. Breaks the 4G. But overall a much better layout and experience than stock IMO.
Working well on Sprint Photon 4G
I can't say anything about 4G since we don't have it in India. But 3G & all other services are just fine. and with ICS theme, this ROM fares much better then Slim Photon.
Thanks a lot guys
