reboot and try again but make sure you're rooting with the 2.3.5 method and not the 2.3.4.

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
Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app

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.

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

Clockworkmod for Cellular South Galaxy S Showcase

The Showcase is the Cellular South version of Fascinate and is very similar in structure to the Mesmerize. While it has been determined that the Mesmerize files work for the Showcase kernel and Clockworkmod, I was able to get jt1134 to compile the same files from a dump of my showcase. Attached is the kernel for clockworkmod as well as instructions for getting it installed. redbend_ua and zimage are located in the kernel_update folder of zip file.
You will also need to be rooted and have the sdk installed to use adb.
You will need to install redbend_ua first extract the zip file then;
Code:
adb push path/to/redbend_ua /sdcard/redbend_ua
then you need to make it executable
Code:
adb shell
su
chmod 777 /sdcard/redbend_ua
Now you need to move it to the /system/xbin
Code:
adb shell
su
mv /sdcard/redbend_ua /system/xbin/redbend_ua
Take the zImage file and push it to the sd card.
Code:
adb push path/to/zImage /sdcard/zImage
Finally we need to flash the zImage
Code:
redbend_ua restore /sdcard/zImage /dev/block/bml8
Now you can download clockworkmod from market and install the fascinate version of recovery. When you get done you can then flash the attached zip and it will replace your stock phone kernel with the modded one giving access to bln and some other stuff.
Big thanks to jt1134 for taking the time to answer my questions and compile the kernel zip for my phone. Also props to thescorpion420 who I borrowed the installations steps from, since he already had it so well layed out in the mesmerize post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850898
Thanks for the writeup! And thanks for the help, got this going on my Showcase a couple of days ago... very nice to have the ability to make backups!
Hey, sorry, I'm having some odd trouble with this and I was wondering if someone could help. When I attempt to push the file, I'm getting a "permission denied" error. Any idea how to fix this?
I had similar troubles when I did it... I used Root Explorer to move the files into the proper locations, and Terminal Emulator to run the commands.
Hey. Is the zImage the zip file attached to the first post? Sorry, I'm learning. Managed to get to the last couple of steps!

the zImage file is in the kernel_update folder of the zip file... so open the zip file and extract it from there.

Well Root Explorer solved my issue. For some reason xbin had RO rights.. I flashed the Recovery now I'm installing ROM Manager to do a back up..
Finally finished my first back up..
Worked with no issues. Thank you for getting us one step further in Showcase development

Essentially, you would download Terminal Emulator from the Android Market and run the commands in the terminal. Note that the files should be copied to your /sdcard/ first!
A little more info, since you're running it from the phone (and not adb shell) your first command will be: su. PM me if you need more help!

Few questions

Has there been anything on rooting directly from the phone?
And has anyone made an update.zip with unlockd boot?
Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App
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.

Ok can you please tell me how you got terminal to process your commands. I get permission denied every time I use terminal to try and do anything with /data.

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
/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh
/data/tmp/install-su.sh
Just say "THANKS" to Edgan for great work and job well done.

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)

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.

That's a good utility, but bear in mind that you'll be on 651.73.30, which is the EU version. If you want back your original, you should use either RSD or Fla****, together with the fastboot files.

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.

/bin/tar xf /data/tmp/photon-torpedo.tar
/data/tmp/photon-torpedo.sh (gna give your an output log, almost looks like an error but continue with next input.
/data/tmp/install-su.sh
And you should be rooted.
Of course download superuser app from play store.

You have "terminal" from android market?
Next put the .tar file to the root of the internal sdcard then open up terminal
Type:
cp /sdcard/photon-torpedo.tar /data/tmp/
Then proceed with the rest of the steps
