Method two:
Сustom Recovery
Custom recovery(custom recovery) are designed to replace the standard, built-in recovery, significantly expanding its capabilities.
TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) | Touch control | Updated by third-party developers. | Recommended
TWRP- it is much more powerful, compared to the factory, utility of the system recovery, which allows you to make full backup copies of the entire system of the device, install software, firmware, kernels and many other things on it that usually does not allow factory recovery. TWRP, is installed in a special system section of the internal memory of the tablet or phone, in place of factory recovery.
TWRP Recovery can help you out in some seemingly hopeless situations. Even if your tablet or phone stopped loading, in many cases using TWRP you can restore the system from a backup, with all its settings and applications.
Here is a sample list of what you can do with TWRP Recovery:
  • Install custom firmware and unofficial kernels
  • Install factory system updates, additions and fixes
  • Connect to computer via USB, in removable storage mode
  • Create a full backup of the current firmware and its individual parts (system, settings, applications)
  • Restore device from previously created backup
  • Do a factory reset (Wipe - data / factory reset), clear the cache (wipe cache), clear the dalwick cache (wipe Dalvik-cache), clear the battery statistics (wipe battery stats)
  • Create partitions on a memory card and format them
  • Execute terminal commands
  • Work with files on your device
Latest official version on the official website (3.0.2.0)
The latest unofficial version from the developer's site (2.8.7.0)- in this version patches can be installed only from a memory card.
Cyanogen Recovery | Touch control | Officially updated
Cyanogen Recovery- The recovery, which is developed by the team CyanogenMod Team. So far, it has fewer features than CWM and TWRP, but it is constantly being developed and quite stable.
You can download the latest build in the same place as the firmwareCyanogenmodon our device.
CWM (ClockworkMod recovery) | Touch control is absent | Not updated
CWM- Modified unofficial recovery, which is available for most devices running Android. It has much more features than native recovery. On some devices it is installed instead of native recovery, on other devices it is installed in parallel. Allows:
  • Install unofficial firmware
  • Install add-ons and fixes
  • Connect to PC via USB in removable storage mode
  • Connect to PC via USB in ADB mode
  • Create a backup of both the entire firmware and its individual parts (system, settings, installed programs)
  • Recover data from previously created backup
  • Reset the data to factory settings (Wipe - data / factory reset), clear the cache partition (wipe cache), clear the dalwick cache (wipe Dalvik-cache), clear the battery statistics (wipe battery stats)
  • Format and create partitions on a memory card
If you cannot turn on the phone and download android, you can always restore a previously created backup with all applications and settings via CWM.

Did you solder the slot yourself or give it to someone?

He gave it to a friend (a specialist in electronic matters), and he did to me. Simka I soldered tightly. I bought a slot later, but I have not set it yet

Alex469,
I have a killed Razr on the part, I think with it a microSim slot to solder, it is very compact, I think it will be just right. I'll try it myself first, but it seems there is nothing to do there without a soldering station, but I don’t have it (I’ll have to give it to the master).

sasha19323
I do not think that there is any special trouble with autonomy. It will live as D4 / Razr and certainly Atrix HD longer (screen is smaller). In the reviews of the device, everyone writes that a day and a half plow confidently. For trips to the fields, of course, you will have to start an external battery ...: blush:

The man who writes on the XDA about the sim mode, uses the Samsung G III micro SIM slot. I bought one. It is also compact. But it’s not easy to stick it on the board - there is practically no free space. Therefore, I decided to postpone the slot.
Added by:
Ops. And it seems there is no need to make any SIM mod at all, so that the phone would work with our GSM networks :)

In this particular case, yes, impractical, and a hundred bucks as it is a pity. In my opinion, the master for a modification of no more than $ 50 will ask if he has to bring an already disassembled device (motherboard) and a ready-made soldered sim-slot.
But in general, the thing is cool, it’s possible any juiced-overwhelmed device to use or, for example, a device that does not support GSM at all ... for example, I have a Droid X lying around ... I have to think

It looks like a separate topic should start :)
I bought from them on the site www.skyroam.com. Device $ 99, delivery to Peter $ 21.15. Total $ 120.15. I paid with PayPal from a ruble card. Taking into account the Paypalo conversion, it turned out 3,848.20 Russian rubles. It turned out that they send FedEx. It was delivered super fast: it paid on March 3, on March 4 it was sent, on March 7 it was already in the St. Petersburg Fedex - but it was before the holiday. As a result, received yesterday (March 12). He did not pay anything for customs clearance and did not do any papers - they brought him home.
Before buying, I advise you to read their forums - there are nuances ...
There are also analogues from other manufacturers - perhaps with smaller sizes. But I haven’t dealt with analogs yet ...

The owners of this phone appeal to you with a request to make a couple of screenshots from the phone system and of applications. If someone else has CM10 installed, then his. Is the stock Andrew very different from the CM10 interface? And it’s interesting how with the help of the standard keyboard you can print text in Russian.
Such interest is due to the fact that I think about buying it. Since the filling is very attractive and good in design
Yes, and screenshots will be useful for the development of the theme

The firmware is Motorola Blur, while at the moment Android 4.0.4. CM10 screenshotshere. This is android 4.1.2. But while the biggest bug CM10 - does not work GPS. I personally really hope for CM10 and its authors for Q. By the way, Open Recovery for Q from the same authors should soon be coming up - by analogy with Motorola Milestone, a cool thing, I tell you.

I already wrote that the Russian Keyboard from Gamewaririor (AndoidTeam.ru) normally works with hard. Klava on the stock firmware. It remains only to put Russian characters on the keys :) In CM10 there should be support for Russian on hard clave.

ATTENTION! Photon Q is available for 2 US operators C Spire and Sprint. There was information on XDA that it was impossible to unlock a bootloader in C Spire operator’s phones via the Motorola website (and this, for the time being, is the only way to unlock the bootloader). Therefore, you need to buy only the phone operatorSprint.
