what this means is simple, you can do whatever you want with this software

Ok guys some of you may know me from teh nexus s 4g forums, some of you may remember all the way back to the epic and heroc forums anyways got a few pm's about making a nice easy one click. told em in its current state there just was no way i could take on the task. anyways its come to my attention that there was a way to do it via scripts now and without needing the dock, so i looked it over and wrote up a quick script. so here you have it the very first AIO for the photon 4g. what makes it special you ask? its got windows mac and linux scripts in it, so no one gets left out .



I will not be accepting donations for this script. if you wish to show appreciation, show it to the guy who wrote the exploit, who made the root even possible... without him we would all be using photon torpedo (iirc he even had a hand in that). You can donate to him here

Thank you and everyone everyone else who made this possible! It's amazing how fast you contributors get stuff done i will be trying this out tomorrow for sure.

Sent from my MB855 using XDA Premium App

Any prerequisites? Do we need and drivers for the USB connection? I'm assuming we need phone in debug mode, drivers from Motorola, and ADB already installed? Is that correct? Got any instructions on how to use?

readme is included and yes drivers are on your own, ill look around the forum and try to find a link and add it to the op tho - done

adb.exe and linux/mac binaries are included so should just run out of the box if youve got usb debugging on and drivers

I just ran the .bat and it didn't work. I can provide the contents of the command prompt if that would help.

please do

like i said i dont have a photon 4g so any feedback is most appreciated

have yet to test it myself due to i dotn have one, but ive gone over the code and the only place where i could see it failing is in one spot so if it does i know how to fix it already.

as for donations they are welcome but please, think of it this way. think of the guys who have been here on this forum and worked hard to get the root working. who deserves that donation more? the guy who busted his ass for weeks cracking code? or the guy who took 20 mins and wrote an easy to use script?

if you wanna thank me thats fine but if you wanna donate please instead donate to the real devs here, from what little ive read seems like edgan is the go to guy for this, a lil to mikeyind so he gets some motivation to bring yall a cool rom wouldnt be a bad idea

Well done sir. Nice of you to take the time to do something like this. I will be using this for some friends phones! Thanks

I feel honored to be in the first few to find out.....im a dummy for buying the dock, but for the other guys here you are a hero keep up the good work.

ok just read up on the manual root thread seems they are having teh same issues. seems very odd, dont sweat it tho im going to keep on working till i get it figured out :P

ok just updated link (same name same link) could someone be so kind as to try again?

going to sleep, will check again in the morning
