Root Is there a Root for new Sprint update on Photon 4G

[Darkman One]

Hi, I'm new to the forum and want to know if I can again root my phone after sprint's update. I find that I can't uninstall Superuser and I don't have a rooted phone.

Any suggestions like the Oneclick Root?

Thanks

Shabby's old all-in-one no longer works, you have to use Photon Torpedo as far as I know. It's messier but still possible. Check this thread (and the subsequent links at XDA) from the root forum for more details. Note that as far as I know, no one has figured out how to fully unlock the bootloader on 2.3.5 so if that's what you were ultimately after you're out of luck.

P.S. Welcome to the forums!

Thanks. Tried several options and it didn't work...I guess I gotta do more research.

Did you try How to Root the Motorola Photon 4G - Latest - YouTube yet? Quick and painless.

Thanks. I tried it and got a bunch of error messages.

Thanks. I tried it and got a bunch of error messages.

what were the error messages? don't forget that at one stage in the installation there are a bunch of *expected* error messages (mentions that in the video, too).

Moved into "all things root" for further discussion.
