Basically go here which will direct you to the stock radio .img file found here for the latest At&t stock images to flash rthere is a sbf but I would recommend the fastboot method to flash the .img file for the radio via the command. after downloading the moto fastboot from here and combining img files and fastboot into one directory and running it from the command prompt
moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img
Edit: XP or the method above
thanks for getting back guys
i am running the latest Homebase version with Unlocked BL, obviously >.>
and i flashed my radio with 01.77.30P (i think)
im currently in the process of recharging my phone using the ultimate calibration guide, so i cant check what baseband i have exactly. but is the one on the CM7 giude the newest one? and is it safe with my setup?
Hi guys,
I have some radios for the Atrix from this site: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/41765-radio-updates-zips-inside/
They are in .zip format.
However, I want to be able to flash them using RSDLite (so I do not need to install fastboot, root, or unlock my bootloader).
Is there any way for me to get the corresponding sbf files?
Thanks in advance!
Anyone? If there is no way to convert or no .sbf files, is there a way to install the .zip radio without rooting or unlocking the bootloader (preferably via RSDLite)?
PS: RSDLite says that the AT&T /zip radios "don't contain any supported file" when I try to select them directly.
it wood be easer to unlock root and add custom rom (total time 10 min

Might just want to look for the sbfs.

Thanks for the replies.
If converting is not possible, does anybody know where I can get the SBF then? I just want to update my guide on fixing permanently locked Atrix phones by adding the final step of flashing back the AT&T radio.
The guide so far did not require rooting or unlocking the bootloader, so I wanted to keep it as easy as possible.
Anyone?
i'm currently on 4.5.91 then i go to this web http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Atrix Upgrade/Atrix-Gingerbread-Update
then after update process i get 4.5.141 plus having my radio updated to stock rom version also...
btw thanks amilkh for your guide
I´ll start with writing, what happend to me, about some weeks ago.
Warning:
Never do this !!!
I wanted to flash the radio from the Photon 2.3.5 leak and I could not find the CWM recovery method (found later after this, thanks Olegfusion), so I took the bp.img and tear it apart with hexeditor to:
amss_sec.mbn
dbl_sec.mbn
osbl_sec.mbn
partition.mnb
RDL1.smg
Depacked full sbf with Motoandroiddepacker (from Skrilax_CZ), extracted headers and just changed mbns and cdt.bin (CG3.smg), later unlocked bootloader (CG42.smg) and tried to repack. Problem was, any try to include CG3.smg (even the default) failed when repacking, so I decided to not include this one.
After several tries I "succesfully" flashed my repacked sbf with radio, but everytime ended at 90% of flashing CG5.smg. I tried more variations, but nothing.
And ended up with Failed to boot 1 (when trying to start as locked) and after unlocking modem did not power up.
So my state now was, switched fuse with broken radio part. Cool
My fuse now - cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm - 10000000000030001000100004000
Then I found the cwm method of flashing radio, thanks to Olegfusion, but this did not helped me. Always, modem did not power up. Only way, how to start Android was through fastboot option Boot Android (No BP).
So I had to find a way, how to fully flash the radio with RSD Lite.
Everytime I tried to flash full 198_7 sbf, it ended right before flashing the radio. Because it flashed the locked bootloader first and while restarting right before CG5.smg (radio) flashing, it writes Failed to boot 1.
I tried to make my own full sbf with unlocked bootloader, but MotoAndroidDepacker, does not accept CG3.smg
So I started thinking(lol):
When RSD Lite creates the image at the beggining, where it is stored?
I found it at C:\Users\--your user dir--\AppData\Local\Motosftemp (win7).
It was a surprise for me, when I found, it was just the depacked sbf with all smgs and firmware.hmg right after the creating image part was done.
This gave me the light of hope.
So I tried to flash my sbf, took those smgs, then full sbf, changed smgs I needed and started with 2nd reflashing. But another problem, RSD Lite recognizes, when those files are changed and when not. If there are unchanged files, and you start 2nd reflashing without exiting RSD, it skips the creating image files. But when you change any, it´s starting over, and all those smgs are created again.
So I started to think about speed hacking it.
I have depacked derpunlock.sbf, my.sbf and full.sbf in RSD temp dir and I thought, I need the leaked cdt.bin and radio.img, because of fuse switched (that was not the right combination). So I started with very slow full sbf flashing speed hacks. Many times.
The super clever speed hack method (lol):
Right after creating image files part, the phone restarts.
This is the time, you need to quickly change (overwrite) those needed smgs.
The right combination that helped me to flash full sbf with radio was CG3.smg (cdt.bin - not sure if it is needed, I took the one from the leaked 2.3.5 zip) and CG42.smg (unlocked bootloader).
That lets the flashing process continue when changing to CG5.smg (radio) flashing. No failed to boot 1.
So, the fuse is switched forever, but I have my radio working again.
As I don´t need 4G, I don´t mind being unlocked.
Most of you don´t need all this, but someone could find it helpful.
Sorry for my English.
but anyway failed to boot 1 is there with locked bootloader.
Yes, that method keeps you unlocked. Because of that, no failed to boot 1.
I still don't understand how my fuse got switched. I flashed the 2.3.5 that did not include the bootloader

Neither I flashed the new bootloader, there would be no way to unlocking then.
But the radio did it on my side.
for truth, I really worry flashing sbfs really hope once we'll get new unlock

im looking at the folder(motosftemp) and hit start (to begin flashing) but i dont see it creating the extracted temp files.
So is it possible to flash the new radio? If so is there a link?

Seems like it but also might switch a fuse and leave you locked down to a certain bootloader.

For those who has death of phone on reboot or power off and who needs to pull out the battery for some time after the phone dead, this method will fix this trouble for you.
Replace codegroups 3 and 42 from unlocked sbf and flash original sbf with that. you'll fix reboot/power off death.
I fixed it in my photon.

regarding radio flash, I think I wouldn't recommend to do it until you understand fully next thing:
when you flash radio bp.img from ota, you have no troubles with fuse.
but if you'll flash boot.img original, you'll switch your fuse on first kernel boot if you'll have radio flashed. So, I do not recommend to flash any native original kernels if you're unlocked. The result may go that you'll not able to lock back and receive failed to boot 1. You'll have only way to flash 2.3.5 bootloader or stay unlocked.
boot.img + bp.img from 2.3.5 = cat /sys/firmware/fuse/ReservedOdm - 10000000000030001000100004000 after first boot.
Hi!
I'm stuck on locked ota (wife was using phone and clicked "install update" before I had a chance to to anything...).
Would there be a way to use the "RSD speed hack" to install stock SBF 2.3.5 and the Japanese radio that is being used to enable our phones to work on domestic USA GSM networks?
There is no Photon 2.3.5 sbf, but you could be probably able to flash the radio with bootstrap, because it looks like Lightsword1942 got motoflash working on bootstrap.
But if you will want the default radio back, you have to flash sbf, that we do not have. But there is a possibility of reflashing 198_7 by hacking rsd flash with 2.3.5 bootloader.
But again, it's risky and noone tried it yet.

I did try to flash the radio zip on bootstrap. Didn't work. (btw - I have an electrify).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26383711&postcount=75
Because you don't have the right zip for bootstrap. Ask Lightsword1942 for this.
If you have electrify, then you can probably reflash with 2.3.5 sbf normally, you don't need to hack RSD.
There were some people, that was forced to flash this sbf after flashing 2.3.5 pudding or for some other reasons.
I need to know from this person, if it was flashed with radio or the radio failed?
Radio flashed or not, could someone who did this, try to flash kernel dump and system dump from latest ota with fastboot and check if it boots? And 4g works?
If not, just flash again electrify sbf.
WARNING!
DO NOT EVEN TOUCH ANY OF THESE LINKS, IF YOUR PHOTON IS UNLOCKED OR LOCKED, BUT NEVER FLASHED ANYTHING HIGHER THAN 2.3.4_198_7 OR SOME CUSTOM ROM? IF YOU DON´T KNOW, ASK!
THIS WILL PERMANENTLY LOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER!
ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED THIS!
AND NOONE TOUCH THIS, AFTER 2.3.6 OR ICS UPDATE!
If you want to know why, read here.
Anyone after succesfull 2.3.5 ota update or after flashing 2.3.5 USC_19 sbf - these links are for you.
But I am not responsible for any damage, you are not forced to flash these.
Don´t flash anything from here, if you do not know well, what are you doing.
Radios:
198_7 radio sbf ----- 198_7 libmoto_ril.so (or older) needed, flashable with bootstrap recovery
254_12 radio sbf ----- 254_12 libmoto_ril.so (or newer) needed, flashable with bootstrap recovery
Be sure, to have the right libmoto_ril.so first, then sbf.
Flashing radio through RSD Lite resets the radio and can solve "Modem did not power up" issue and switched baseband in phone info.
Others:
2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf with sv2 bootloader and microboot from USC_19 sbf -
- mostly for unbrick of your device, after failed to boot bricks - 254_13 modules needed, flashable with bootstrap recovery
Full:
There is only one - 2.3.5_USC_19 sbf - but it is for Electrify. After flashing this, you need to flash locked custom rom, "2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image" and some sv2 sbf radio, for working Sprint services, including 4G.
Do not try to flash any of those Sprint 2.3.5 full sbf files, they are not signed and your device will not accept them.
Step by step 2.3.5 unbrick for Photon:
yairku said:
1)Flash this SBF. Now you'll have stock 2.3.5 for Electrify. But you need Sprint services (I assume), so you don't stop here.
2) Download bootstrap from DroidX2 forum, and get it working. Of course you need to root your photon first.
3) Flash this ROM from bootstrap. Please follow the instructions for this ROM carefully, you don't wanna flash the SBF again.
4) Flash 254_13 modules with bootstrap. you need them.
5) Flash 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf with RSD Lite.
6) Flash 254_12 libmoto_ril.so with bootstrap. You don't need to flash the radio SBF.
4) and 6) is not needed, if you install rom 3)

I am copying and modifying post from yairku, thank him.
One important thing about modules.
In every rom, there are modules for wifi (dhd.ko), wimax (bcmsdio.ko) and VPN (some vpn*.ko) and some other .ko (maybe not important, but they are there).
These modules work only with the kernel they were built with (don't know why).
Example: You are locked and you flashed USC_19 sbf = you flashed USC_19 boot.img ("kernel"), then you flash some rom (locked) without kernel = you reflashed the modules, but still have USC_19 kernel = wifi and wimax is not working, so you need to get these two puzzle pieces together again.
You have two choices -
1- flash 2.3.5 sv2 moto-signed boot.img corresponding with the rom modules
2- flash modules corresponding with the kernel you have (USC_19 in this case)
Very similar important thing applies to radio and libmoto_ril.so.
198_7 radio = 198_7 libmoto_ril.so
254_12 radio = 254_12 libmoto_ril.so
But here it's not so strict -
-198_7 radio = USC_19 libmoto_ril.so without problems
Thank "swuln" for 254_13 dump from his Photon.
Excellent work......
Hi, My photon had been accidentally updated with 2.3.5 USC. Is it flash to flash your file : 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image will this bring me back to Sprint version of 2.3.5 ?
Please help
Not only this, you need to install some sprint based custom rom for locked (mof 2.3.5ish), with bootstrap recovery first. Then install modules and in the end, flash that sbf.
OK, I'm a little unclear on this...
I unfortunately allowed the OTA and on a locked bootloader with the 254_13 ROM.
Are these files I can install to downgrade and then unlock my bootloader and flash a custom recovery?
Short answer. No.
Peetr_,
I wanna get my girls Photon back to legit stock Sprint. She is currently on 2.3.5 from the Moto soak test (the first one) and using RockoDev's Sprint-2.3.5 rom. I just wanna make sure I do this process correctly so that everything turns out OK and she won't have any worries...
So, to start the process I should:
• First flash the mof-2.3.5 rom via BSR
• Then flash module...
• Then flash the 2.3.5 sbf...
When in this process do I flash the radio/lib files? I would assume before or after the module file maybe? Or is it not actually needed.
Thanks for your time man, much appreciated!

I don't understand correctly, what do you mean by legit. You mean latest not modified stock 254_13 version? Because mof 2.3.5ish is modified custom rom, the only one available with active support.
Someone would have to make 254_13 as flashable zip for bootstrap recovery, to get it in the phone.
But if you really want mof 2.3.5ish rom, you can just install it with bootstrap recovery, install 254_13 modules with bootstrap recovery and flash that sbf with boot.img, recovery.img and cdrom.

Sorry, yes legit as in not modified stock Sprint 2.3.5
My girls device is locked down and a while back I had flashed SprintRocko2.3.5 rom (when it was active).
Currently, I'd like to get her device back to "normal" Sprint device so she could bring it back to Sprint if she wanted without them harassing her about custom firmware on there (as they say).

That won't be so easy. We don't have no flashable zip with the stock latest rom. And I am not sure, if webtop will flash properly from bootstrap recovery. These two are needed to get it back to stock. Then removing bootstrap and unroot.
Hi Thank you very much for your explanation. Currently i want to flash rom for locked (mof 2.3.5ish), with bootstrap recovery but in his thread show that "You must be coming from 2.3.4. or using a 2.3.4. kernel or none of the service will work" Should i just go ahead ?
Because my photon currently using from 2.3.5 USC Electrify ?
Please help thank you very much in advanced
