That's because it does not work for electrify,only works for sprint.

Do you recommend a diff rom where i can flash kddi to unlock gsm?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
It isn't a software issue, it's a hardware issue. The Electrify has hardware that is just different enough from the Photon that the KDDI radio won't work.

Do i have to sbf it back to sprint in order to unlock with kddi?

As far as I know, regardless of what you flash or SBF, you won't be able to use the KDDI radio.

Thats strange cause everyone seems to be unlocking with kddi...everything went smooth until the final step..(flashing kddi)

the electrify has NEVER been able to have GSM unlocked. so if you're on the electrify forget about it. it's not going to happen. only works on the photon at this point.
I have the photon..its the (electrify sbf) i did...

I'm not trying to sound mean but replace the phone. You have turned your phone into an Electrify with no way back to stock Photon.
Wow so no way of unlocking for gsm & no way of going bck to stock to do process all over?

Never flash 2.3.5pudding on a Photon (the pudding thread is locked for that very reason)
2.3.5 Photons CANNOT be unlocked
2.3.5 Photons CANNOT be downgraded to 2.3.4
2.3.5 Photons CANNOT use the kddi radio
2.3.5 Photons can only be rooted (torpedo root method)
2.3.5 Photons can only use 2.3.5 LOCKED ROMs
2.3.4 Photons, simply follow the guide in the Photon Compendium. That's why it's there.
As long as these things are followed you're fine. The 2.3.5 Electrify SBF is usually used to recover from not following the things I listed above. If you can't replace your Photon and flash 2.3.5 Electrify you have to think of your phone as an Electrify and not a Photon.
Please don't try to get it replaced using your carriers replacement program because you flashed the wrong files for a number of reasons. It's better off for everybody if you loose it and file and insurance claim.
Thnx for your help...i guess ill just hope they come up with a way to unlock later...

Loki, do not scare people...
In terms of flashing sbfs or roms there is technically no Photon or Electrify, just Sunfire.
If someone would upload latest webtop in zip and using 254_13 zip from Mof (not sure if it's odexed), anyone can return to full Sprint stuff on Photon, allowing future updates (if there would be some).
Radios are flashable separately and cannot even be flashed from P to E or reverse (nothing to break).
Only three things to worry about, are signature difference between 2.3.4 and 2.3.5, inability of many Sunfire users to search and read and mising active moderator for this Photon forum (some cleaning is really needed).

he's playing you. he's kinda rude.
there's not a lot of development going on due to driver issues. i would say so at least. so it makes things much slower. most all roms are stable with a few bugs and all ics/jb are without drivers and a few of the devs are busy with their own lives at the moment. so it makes development a lot slower!
Oh.... that means we will never have a unlocked bootloader except motorola itself unlock it....

Haha only slightly! But I'm pleanty helpful when I can be Again, this is a question that pertains to the current bootloader delima, of which there is a wealth of information within 3 or 4 threads just on page one and two of general and QA..
2.3.4 bootloader was unlockable, because Motorola allowed us to download it and use it. It was not developed! And it's the only one unlockable bootloader, we have.

you could try doing the fastboot work around? if it's anything like the electrify with the 2.3.5 shipped bootloader you can easily unlock. try it out.
http://www.motosunfire.com/2-3-5-bl/
Okay. Looks good. Is there a way to extract logs or other info that might help the devs find a workaround or method to unlock the BL on other devices? Should anything be installed to help with that?

Hey all. Due to a headphone port problem in my Photon the Sprint store near me is ordering me a new device. Will I be able to root it? I could have sworn a few months ago on this site it said if your photon is a certain software number then you cant root it.
should be able to root..can't unlock bl if at 2.3.5 though

dont update your phone so that u can root and unlock bootloader as u wish..,njoy with mods n all..,
I just rooted a photon with 2.3.5 using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1819660

Hello everyone,
First off I'd like to say that I'm a big fan of the site and have been referencing it ever since i got my HTC EVO years ago. You guys rock!
The reason I'm here is because I have a Motorola Photon currently running CM9 with Jelly Bean. I like it, however I don't like having to tether with 3g speeds when I know something faster is out there.
So my main question is: Have there been any ROMs (Jellybean or otherwise) that allow for 4g usage? If so, could you direct to where I could find them?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help out.

That thread seems a bit dated now. I am on 198_7. Can I pick any custom rom and lock the bootloader to gain 4g?
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
No. Custom ROMs (ics, jb, etc.) use custom kernels, which are not supported on a locked bootloader. Sorry.

Is there a tool kit available to unlock and root this phone. If not maybe a link as to how to do so. Its not gsm and does not have sim card. Its on us cellular and its called Electrify...its my friends phone but jus looking for some 411. I have a Gnexus so not familiar wit moto electrify. Thanx

There's ways to root it for sure. Check the Electrify forum. If your phone is on android 2.3.5 there's a very good chance that you cannot unlock the bootloader, just like us Photon owners..
EDIT: oops i just now realized that there is no electrify forum.
Yup thats what I noticed only photon which is similar... And def staying wit my nexus now running Carbon 4.2.2 ...lol but my buddies got the Electrify. Jus trying to help him out... Thanx

I was lucky and my Electrify came with 2.3.5 and was unlock-able, so of course I did! If you did the update to 2.3.5 from 2.3.4 then you have a locked bootloader, no unlocking. You can download and try as it won't hurt your phone other than error out, make sure you are rooted first. There is a how to on the teamuscellular.com, here is a direct link to the page of the download (mods sorry but this is not hosted here so I hope I am not breaking any rules posting another forum)
