For those that dont care about unlock and want the update you can get the app here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1226664
server qa1 is near the top of the list. As a reminder this is one way to get leaks as they are being tested so if one person scans each day at different times the chances we might pull a new ota are good.

Yeah i dont unlock much so it dont bug me really....cant go without 4g, root is still attainable via photon torpedo method. Unlock killed & downgrade not possible via sbf.

ah ok so that method still works for rooting? good to know :)

and id rather lock my photon and give me the feul to look into kexec so we can have a bootloader bypass than a bunch of people get theirs locked for 1080p video recording ;)

also the zip is right in cache :) Blur_Version.45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US.zip

kexec is basically a way to load a kernel off the sdcard, well if we boot up normal and then booted a cm9 kernel off internal storage then in theory you could get cm9 going with a locked bootloader :)

problem is i know nothing of kexec and making it work for us, but its a pipe dream :D

yeah, well gotta start somewhere. Just erks me that even after their unlocked boot loader promise they would still send out a ota locked down. Photon is best phone i have owned thus far but being so locked down will make me question buying another.

zip is uploading, i would highly recommend against flashing this

www.shabbypenguin.com/ACS/devices/Moto/Sprint/Photon-4G/Blur_Version.45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US.zip


http://pastebin.com/GhLuvxd0

as you can see

ui_print("updating AP20 bootloader ...");
assert(package_extract_file("ap20bl.img", "/tmp/ap20bl.img"),
write_raw_image("/tmp/ap20bl.img","nvmotota"),
delete("/tmp/ap20bl.img"));
assert(ap20bl.set_bl_update(00300000));
assert(ap20bl.set_mb_update(00080000));

at the bottom is where your getting your new bootloader

125MB is that the correct file size? I'm gonna pull it and play with it a bit but wanted to make sure first.

Edit:
Pulled it and am going through it right now mainly looking at Webtop. Thanks for posting it.
