This utility for the Motorola Photon Q sets the RF NV item 8322 to the value 0,
which allows the device to be used on GSM carriers in the US.

Usage:

$ make
/build/Android/cm-11.0/prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-linux-androideabi-4.7/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-gcc --sysroot /build/Android/cm-11.0/prebuilts/ndk/9/platforms/android-10/arch-arm/ -Wall    xt897-fix-usa.c   -o xt897-fix-usa

Now copy xt897-fix-usa to the phone and run it as root:

root@asanti_c:/data/local/tmp # ./xt897-fix-usa
