Hi. So i got this device at a very good price with great specs and I haven't had any problem with it. I just need to know if there is any way to root it. I searched all over google about this but no luck. Any reply will be appreciated.

Found a way to root. I used framaroot app and selected boromir option then rebooted. Working fine.

I've been trying to find the where app for a few days and can't locate it in the market. I removed the sim and it still didn't show up (that worked for a few other apps). Anybody have any idea what's up with Where?

What's the Where app?
I'm just taking a guess, but if you're looking for WhatsApp, it's here:

I had the same problem with my Atrix. The Where guys are awesome. They sent me the apk and then automatically sent updates every time one came out. Look them up and send them a note. It was one of the best app experiences I've had,

Any apps that will root photon I'm desperate for root, my computer is broken atm... Had root lost it when I had to sbf to fix connection issue....

not atm. you may be able to dl the necessary files right to your phone and use a teminal emulator to root, but i'm new at this stuff so i'm not really sure.
Lol I'm not but only app ik of is gingerbreak which is outdated...

I'd just borrow someones computer for 15 minutes. Im sure you know someone who has one. Download all the files to your phone so all you have to do is install the drivers, run the program and uninstall it if they want.
or you can do the dock method at a sprint store if you are brave enough...
I found computer... Is there a linux root method

I rooted the photon only using the phone. Downloaded the file to sd. Then used terminal emulator to run 3 commands..done..so easy.

Did you get it figured out yet? Looks like you would be successful using the Photon Torpedo method using just your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216131

I've never heard that with the photon but that doesn't mean it is not possible

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
I am in the uk,however my question is that the app won't run on a rooted device. As stated in there description on the play store.
If I use the voodoo temp unroot app will this work. If so what steps do I need to take.
Thanks for looking and helping.

Got one app (barclays mobile Banking) which won't install if it detects root. I've seen a couple of xposed modules which hide root but comments say they don't work. Anyone know of anything?
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Nah, i only know about the same Xposed modules that you mentioned. Have you tried some of those though? Maybe one of them will work.

Yeah, will try them I guess. Which one do you use? I'm looking at RootCloak if youve heard of it?
Sent from my C6833 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm not using any, but I've only read about them. Is RootCloak the on for Xposed?

I don't know if OTA rootkeeper will help you. It's the only app I know that hides root, but I don't if it works on the Ultra or not.

You have to choose the option to temporarily unroot, which allows apps such as Sky Go to work. Once you have finished using Sky Go, and similar apps, you can unhide root and have full root privileges again.

Unfortunately doesn't work with barclays mobile Banking app for others info. Don't know what procedure they do to check root but it seems pretty thorough. Shame.

Hey everyone i need help please my phone (that hates me) has decided to not let me use the play store. Am running jb v20f stock firmware with root and cwm recovery. I didnt modify it at all and i got a gapps downloaded but theapk for the playstore doesnt help. Should i flash it instead? I might also have access to another phone that is the same as mine except with just root. Any ideas?

Hello Ashindigo
Have you installed Ad blocker on your device or any other mod to block ads? If yes, Then remove it and also remove hosts file from /system/etc/
(Don't forget to take a backup of hosts file before deleting it)
Ad-Blocker cause No Connection error to play store
The gapps HAS to be for JB 4.1.2. It has something to do with compatibility. For example, 4.2 gapps won't work. It gives a parsing error.

My friend had this problem with her Zeki tablet. It doesn't come with Play Store or the Google Services. I think my brother fixed it by using App Backup and Restore and moved the apks to system/app using root explorer. Not sure what he did after that.
I can upload the apks if you want. That's if you haven't restored yet.

Well, getting into fastboot is a good sign. If you don't see the inverted menu giving the option to unlock, then that's unofficial fastboot.
