You can also find jb roms from there
Thanks I will try it later. By the way, know a stable JB ROM for the electrify. I was going to try CM or ParanoidAndroid but they don't say that they are compatible with the electrify.

They are compatible with electrify. I am tried it. But you need unlocked bootloader. Otherwise it will brick your phone

Only some electiry phones shipped with the 2.3.5 update can still have thier bootloader unlocked. I know of none who took the update to ever unlock their bootloader. Sorry to disappoint

interesting that the article states, " Photon Q will be the first device to have support for the unlock tool."
I was under the impression that the Photon Q was being shipped unlocked out of the box based on what tsdeaton said.

On android central they said that (this is about other phones) "moto says that they have to evaluate that on a phone by phone basis, and that they have worked with Sprint to come up with a solution that's favorable to everyone involved." And no it's not unlocked out of the box.

Too much beggin and problems with this phone that is why I am considering going with a Samsung phone.
BY the time ICS (way later sometime this year) gets official and with a locked bootloader what is the point anymore?

Unless you're already stuck with a locked bootloader on 2.3.5, than when official ICS drops for our device, I guarantee that users will be able to flash the official update with a modified unlocked bootloader!
Also, when official ICS does come out, that'll cure ALL out current minor issues with custom ROMs! To be really honest with you tho, the custom Jelly Bean ROMs we have out now in the development section are a TON more stable and usable than the ICS ROMs that we had previously!

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.

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?

We get it from HTC and they won't release it for 90 days. There is still a possibility that even if we get it it may not run correctly on the thunderbolt. We will see though.

The thunderbolt is the first phone on Verizon that has svdo which let's you talk and surf the internet at the same time even on 3g data. HTC and Verizon have both been protecting this technology by keeping sources closed indefinitely on the radio software for one. Since a lot of the sources are closed devs don't have interest in finding hacks and workarounds to deal with the lack of source. That's why a lot of the devs left this device. Even still though we have official ics and in a few months we should have the sources we need to build custom kernels that are needed for making a jb from.

Yeah I can understand the frustration from the devs. If we get it I'll enjoy it, if not then oh well not a big deal in my book. Still a good enough phone for my broke budget right now either way

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

Sent from my MB855 using xda app-developers app
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)

I personally am happy with the ROM I'm running, but judging from the amount of questions about "x is awesome... but where's miui?" in the Q&A section, there's plenty of interest!
Also, since I'm a flashaholic I most likely will flash it at least once :silly:

I am also interested in having miui in our phone and would like to test it if possible.

Trust me this question has popped up like 3 different threads. People want this, me myself have only heard of miui. New to this ROM bussiness so I've never actually got to use it and would love if you ported.
I have ported miui for the photon 4g and epic touch 4g but the lgog is my first gsm phone so be patient with me and I'll see what I can put together.. Any thoughts on what kernel to use ??
