I have scoured the forums and google. Im pretty good at figuring these things out. Not sure if im experiencing a factory mouse issue or not. No pics in the threads.
Issue: System info window keeps popping up in menu.(check img)
Occured: After flashing a stock Att md5 from liquid smooth ROM
Attempts:
-Reflashed several stock variations of the md5 through odin.
-installed terminal emulator and tried the typical "factory mode" that is pointed to Verizon users. Entering "echo -No...."
-Initiated self doubt then banged head on wall.
-ReReReFlashed stock ATT with injected root (downloaded from XDA thread)
Interesting points: All my roms and stock md5's have been downloaded from XDA. Im 100% sure im using the correct version. I noticed in attempting to finally sign up for XDA I was initially blocked from doing so because "in attempts to block spam, Verizon IPs are blocked" That's Weird because I'm an ATT user and was on my 4g network.

Did you factory reset it? Or it just booted like that. Looks like its in some sort of Clock Work Recovery or soft bricked which is not a big deal. Someone here will help you out soon as i am not a Pro on recovery. Same thing happened to me when i bought a Galaxy S2 a few months back. Just hang tight until some one gives you directions or search the forums.
Try and "Reboot" it while highlighted by hitting the power button. Thats at least how i reboot out of clock work mod for the Att version. Next step prob would be to highlight wipe data/factory reset. But again wait until someone confirms this for ya. Shouldn't be long
Just curious, what did you trade for
all good got it figured out. thanks

Good to hear man.
I bought a brand new photon 4g and upon activating it.. I made the mistake of accepting the OTA 45.3.6 because now, despite all my efforts to root the device using AIO's, torpedo method, and even using the relatively new method that apparently works well with the Photon
@ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1235376
Im about ready to give up. Ive had plenty of experience rooting and flashing my HTC Hero CDMA and Samsung Epic however, i was not expecting this.
It seems the main problem with the AIO's is that they are outdated and I am only receiving error messages upon clicking the batch file (yes i have debugging while USB on)
If anybody could help me or give me an alternative rooting method I would be greatful. Would unlocking the bootloader before trying to root make a difference? Again any help would be super appreciated because I've ready the forums and used TFSE and im still coming up stock.
So I'm really new to the Photon too (came from an Evo4G), and had updated to the latest OTA as well. I just rooted using this method, it worked great:
[ROOT] Photon Torpedo, dockless root access
More specifically, I followed the directions here. Note: I did get an error message near the end of that process, but just kept going, and it worked just fine.
I haven't unlocked the bootloader, so someone else will have to chime in for advice on that....
That worked! And I happened to find another set of directions that made things even easier:

Hi Guy,
Yesterday I unlocked my phone in hopes of placing it to another carrier I have at&t. That was successful. I then flashed the modem in hope to get Tmobile 4g working on my phone. But it was giving me issues. I was running Rooted Stock ICS at the time. After doing some reading amount the threads, I've concluded that I probably needed to get a ROM(?) in order for this to work? So I flashed ParaniodAndroids JB on it. Well my new problem is, that I lost the baseband and my IMEI number...and I have no way of getting it back. I did write it down. So I know what my number is, but is there any way to get it back? At this point, I'm ready to give up. I've spent hours looking for info on how to fix this issue. I actually wish I was back to my ICS now. Right now my phone is useless without any signal.
So does this mean that I have a bricked phone? Please let me know if there's anything I can do to salvage my phone.
Thank you.
It was on a Vibrant 4G firmware CM9. Lost IMEI, the field is empty.
Put the stock firmware and IMEI came back from somewhere. I was surprised!
Another story, Vibrant t959 without IMEI fell into my hands. What should I do? As a result, the system folder EFS copied from another of the same phone.
IMEI was not a native, the other 00044400111 started with something like this. But the phone rang and worked!

Hmm? This is my original thread. I'm not the author of the other. Sorry for the bad grammar but I was up all night trying to fix my phone. I am at work and still reading up on how to get this fixed or restored. Any help will be appreciated. I have PM'ed a couple of people hoping for some assistance. I hope they get back to me, but if not, I guess I will keep reading.
Right now, I am aware of two choices.
#1. Get Samsung Kies to factory reset my phone in hopes of restoring my IMEI number and basebands. [But what if Kies doesn't recognize my phone?]
#2. I bricked it and can't do anything about it. [I really hope that's not the case]
/// NOTE - the phone this question is referencing to is NOT bricked or bootlooping. It works fine...however...
Hey Photon users! I'm new to the Motorola Photon (my cousin's phone) and I have recently just finished rooting his phone for him. Now as I am no stranger to rooting, I have an HTC T-Mobile G2 rooted and blinged out, I AM however new to the Motorola phones..specifically the photon. After tons of research and dead end tutorials (due to out-dated or dead links or methods) I am running into an issue to fix this "Failed to Boot 2" Issue. I made the mistake of assuming rooting it was in essence the same thing as unlocking the phone. After little research I found this to not be true. Now I am stuck with the dilemma of trying to find a working Unlock Method for a rooted Photon 4G. Does it matter that I rooted his phone first? Am I going to be able to unlock his phone for him? I'm simply trying to install a custom ROM for his rooted Photon, yet seem to not be able to have the ability to install zip files through the typical recovery method as this would be his only option for installing new ROMs on his own. If I missed a thread where this issue has already been addressed, I do sincerely apologize and would greatly appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. I've also uploaded a screenshot of his stats for reference. Thank-you in advance for any help that might come my way. I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and hope you all have an even better new year's eve!

You cannot unlock a photon running android version 2.3.5, sorry. Rooting and installing bootstrap recovery to flash locked roms is the best you can do. You'll have to look or ask around for that process since I've never done it - I avoided the 2.3.5 "update" like the plague. Best of luck.

Ok, I am trying to get my vzw galaxy s4 of1 5.01 (lollipop?) working with the tmobile sim. So far everything but voicemail and sms has been successful. After multiple long chats with the people at Verizon, T-Mobile, and Samsung I have concluded the only way to do this would be to to flash a new ROM. I am a total noob to this. I got root access with Kingroot, but I still need a custom recovery ( no idea what to use for my phone). Also, can I only use certain types of roms? Can anyone tell me how I install Odin? I have so many questions and wish there was a step by step for noobs. Please help, Any suggestions or info would be helpful and appriciated.
Unfortunately the route you're wanting to go isn't successful either. I stumbled across this link and it works, however with no LTE

I only had an issue with SMS / MMS.

I have adjusted and re-adjusted my APN with hopes of getting this issue resolved. Unfortunately, none of them have worked. I find it weird because others have had success. I can not get advanced signal status phone info option to work for this particular build and have read that others have the same issue. I know from what I have read that flashing a ROM is risky but I saw this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-verizon/development/stang5litre-ediition-5-0-t3132555 and am curious if this could be a viable option.
I was able to use the phone properly after installing the app that let's me turn off LTE. I can turn on the LTE if I need faster speed, but if someone texts me while I'm on it, I can't respond to them. I can however send MMS.
