This will make a bunch of people happy because now you do not need the $100 HD Dock to root the Photon.

umm i keep getting an error when i click the download link for the 64-bit driver...

" Error 404: NOT FOUND!
This domain name has just been registered. "

can somebody PLEASE help me out with this?? thanks

Every link I find for the 32-bit driver saysthe link cannot be found. What am I doing wrong, has it moved, is it closed?

This blows. None of the links work. It's all malware ads. Really? I know I have an old phone, but I like my phone. Just want to upgrade the os. Anyone?
