With the new boot loader unlock it comes time to use a recovery other than safe strap. The easiest way to flash a custom recovery, in this case, clockwordmod recovery, is to simply download ROM Manager and use it to flash the Motorola Photon Q version of CWM Recovery. I flashed it and booted into it and haven't experienced any problems as of yet so for those looking for a custom recovery straight out of the gate, this is for you.

Nice i don't know if i should try it or wait for an official one for our device. In the mean time back to my nexus 4

If you really want to give it a spin you can always flash the Photon Q version otherwise I'm sure there will be an official version ported soon

Dumb question part 2..... uninstall ss first and then install cwm? Also erase all ROM slots before uninstalling? Thanks!

Have you flashed anything with it?
I haven't actually tried yet flashing a ROM but since I'm on stock and don't want to flash white yet I haven't had the opportunity, as long as its flashing to the device it should work with no problems

So far, i have installed the cwm for the photon q like you, and made a back up through it. Im going to see if it will restore from it as well. ill keep everyone updated.:good:
:edit: I sucessfully backed up my stock JB rom, wiped everything, and restored everything back and everythings perfect... I dont know what else to try before attempting to flash using the photon CWM. any ideas?
I uses the photon q recovery to backup & restore, and haven't had any issues yet. No ROM flashing for the time being, just haven't tried it yet.

Did you try to go back into CWM and wipe everything again after the boot loops? That sometimes helps when it is boot looping after an install.

I'm Stock Again, Restart always sent me to fastboot with a failed flash error, I could back out of it to the pizza ROM each time however I don't want to depend on my phone booting incorrectly so I used RSD and I'm stock again, I'm going to give it another try tonight.
UPDATE...Reflashed everything started over and everything works PERFECT Yippie!!! I'm very pleased!!!!

So what was your full procedure? I want to try this and try to install CM10 later.
From what I read, you installed the Photon Q CWM, installed Pizza through that, got boot loops, flashed back to stock, then installed Pizza again?

Fastboot was kicking errors and was boot looping into fastboot with firmware flash fail, I found however I could start into AOSPizza in DB mode (Safe Mode) , so I did that, charged up the phone 100% then used RSDLite and Reflashed Stock current firmware, it however does not re-lock the bootloader as some have mentioned might be the case in other post's, from there I started up the phone,turned on usb debug, used "motochopper" to root it, then installed Rom Manager from the market, flashed clockwork to device with the Photo Q CWM , copied AOSPixxaV1.zip ( The ROM ) and GappizzaV1.zip to the Phones internal storage not on the external SD memory card, from there went to clockwork mod on my atrix opened up the program and selected to reboot into recovery, went to the mounts and storage then select Mount System then go back then install zip from sd card then choose zip from sd card, then scroll to your rom and select it and it will flash when its complete you will go back and go to reboot system now, it will ask you if you want to bypass stock recovery on boot select it and your phone will reboot into AOSPizza......Have Fun!

The original post (first post) of the thread SVLAN posted contains the download. Flash the .IMG in fastboot and voila.
Edit: Realized that thread has a flashable zip. You need a .img to flash to your recovery partition THEN you can flash the zip in SVLAN's thread to upgrade to CWM touch (recommended).
Flash the .IMG found here first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41908134

hey guys Im currently on the stock enhanced kitkat kernel thats offered to us but Im having problems with it not waking the phone when i hit the wake button and then i have to hold power and volume up to hard reboot it.
so im looking for a stock sprint kitkat kernel flashable zip but I cant find one. Am I blind? or does this not exist
Grab one from the official firmware zip file and flash it using fastboot
There is not one on the forums but I will grab it from the OTA if you can't find it when I get back home
Also when you flashed the new kernel it made a boot image called boot_backup.img you can flash that via mfastboot to get back your stock kernel
from my XT1056 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Edit: ok so i just flashed the boot_backup.img and i can state that everything works fine it flashed to stock Kernel and i am no longer having the wake issue's but i am still in the process of pulling the kernel for you. but you are going to have to flash it via fastboot
the command you will use is
Code:
fastboot flash boot image-name.img

Do I have to root it again after that?
EDIT: No, I don't have to
Hello,
So I just want to clear something out. So once I have used a the Asus app and unlocked my tab, I CANNOT relock it again? Also once unlocked, I can no longer receive OTA from Asus and therefore have to download it manually?
I just need clarification on these two questions. Thank you.

Yep, it's a one-way process.
But we can still download the official update from Asus and flash as long as we are on stock recovery, correct? And if i'm not mistaken, we can always revert back to stock recovery. Just can't go back to a locked bootloader.
Damn if I knew this I wouldn't have... oh well. Thanks for the answers!

You can't flash the stock firmware from cwm. You need to fastboot flash the stock recovery from droid basement and then extract the stock zip onto your internal card and boot that way. Alternatively you could just flash my stock ROM in the Dev section.
Why do you want to go back to pure stock?
Wow lol I spend hours trying to flash through CWM. thank u very much sdbags. I wanted to revert back because, lol my WiFi was acting wiered with the ROM. some apps like "showbox" worked fine with stock, but with cromi it would go very slow and take really long to load a list of movies or shows. I Donni maybe wifi drivers are not same on cromi? Anyway, thanks for the stock installation solution.

Why don't you just flash my Asus Stock ROM first? It's 99.9% the Asus files - just with ROOT added.
I haven't tested the following but if you MUST flash the Asus Stock from a PC you would do it using the following. I won't take any responsibility if you brick and you do this at your own risk. Personally if I were you I wouldn't do it this way as flashing my Asus Stock will do EXACTLY the same. Note that the below instructions are for 4.2.2. Be warned - it will erase the bootloader so if it doesn't flash properly you will brick permanently.

For the freezing, try Validus which is an AOSP-based ROM. I use it on two AHDs and they are fine.
Try the modem from the Mexico Retail or Bell as they may work better for your phone.
As I mentioned before, I had wifi drops for no reason until I ran the OTA update. The baseband version did not change with the update but there were some updates to the modem files.

1) install the adb/fastboot files to a single directory on my computer;
2) place the NON-HLOS.bin file in the adb/fastboot directory from step 1;
3) open a command prompt window as an administrator;
4) install the Motorola USB drivers and connect my booted phone with USB debugging enabled;
5) from the command line, type "adb reboot bootloader" and press the enter key to get my phone into AP Fastboot Flash mode;
