Photon AIO One Click Root

[flyers2114]

Hmmm...may be a setting on the laptop...see if you can get a connection to work another way...like to another phone or something...then we can troubleshoot the pc if it works...

Don't think problem is laptop.. was connecting fine with wifi tether on rooted htc evo 4g... wondering if perhaps a certain profile must be checked for phone... found various profiles for motorolas but not the photon.

I have been studying up on how to root my MoPhoton 4g since I got it last August. I think I'm finally ready....but now I'm afraid I'm too late. I got involved in that soak test, which installed 2.3.5. Now, if I've searched/read acs and xda correctly (and other less intelligent sites), here's where I am:

• There is no way to downgrade from 2.3.5
• Shabbypenguin's wonderfully simple and sweet One Root won't do the trick on 2.3.5 (and boy did I try it MANY times). Had correct drives installed, etc...but no go. I assume you guys know what I'm talking about, but I can and will paste what the script read if you need me too. Short story...got all the way to "you should have root"....but I don't.
• Currently the only way to do it is with a root method called Torpedo....which I don't know enough about yet but I'm about to get into it...
• And finally, even if I get root, I won't have bootloader, again, because of 2.3.5.

Sound about right so far? If so, here's my big question:

If I can ONLY root for now, will I obtain the benefits I am looking for (mainly increasing/unleashing the SPEED I know this phone is capable of, and fixing whatever problem has always caused this phone to flicker it's wifi on and off and on and off constantly all the time, even in the same location....it drives me up the wall! Also, I'd like to get free wireless hotspot too, cause if you're gonna dream, dream big.

Thanks in advance for ANY help you can provide. I might post this in another thread or on xda if I can figure out why it won't even let me post in General or Q&A...only b/c I'm not entirely sure this is the right forum but if not...please don't get too mad at me. I'm tryin' SO hard!

Thanks guys

I went throu the one-click procedure and got "Success!" however, Root Check Basic tells me I do not have 'proper root access'. Anyone?
