You did something wrong during the SBF process (of course). You have to make sure that your phone was in RSD mode (which it now is in) and use RSD Lite (on windows) or SBF_flash (linux and mac) to flash the SBF onto the phone.
Also, MAKE SURE YOUR PHONE IS DULLY CHARGED. I got an error the first time I SBF'd cuz I didn't do that. Had to get a new battery and then flash.
Hope this helped.

Try downloading the file with Firefox or chrome and extract the .gz file with 7zip
Also there is a 2.3.3 and a 2.2.2 sbf file, try them both

I did but like i said i cannot get in rsd mode... And if "starting rsd mode" is being in it then why is rsd lite failing each flash of.the sbf

While tuning one the phone, press up and if your phone writes stareing rds protocol, then you are in rds mode.
Root? Okay..
But to install kernel you have to have an unlocked bootloader.
Have you?
Edit: btw aln kernels are in beta! Not too say in alpha.. Most of them install them to report bugs to dev creator..
For flashind sbf, make sure you have almost full battery.. So don't waist your bat..

So photon being weird it says starting rsd protocol support. But never does anything else or is that the bootloader? Im coming from the droid x i used to sbf that dino like crazy... So what is going on if that isnt it then how long does it take to log into the bootloader?
You don't. You need the rsd lite app on your computer. Connect your phone with the USB then load the sbf and flash

alright ty
If one wants to return to stock after running a custom ROM, is it as simple as flashing the latest SBF with RSD Lite or should the bootloader be re-locked first? Anything else needed?
All you need is to flash the SBF but only after replacing CWM if installed with the stock recovery.
Doesn't flashing the SBF automatically reinstall the stock recovery?
To return to stock use the following ;
1. Menu/Settings/Privacy/Factory Data Reset
2. Flash the sbf using RSD lite
3. Done
If you do not do a Factory Data Reset via menu/settings your installed apps/launcher/etc do not get wiped and can cause issues. Also, RSD lite may give you a "failed" error during the final reboot phase. Don't worry this bug in RSD and you should be fine.
I keep having problems getting RSD lite to recognize my phone. The drivers installed fine, I get into "starting RSD protocol"... plug the phone into my computer and nothing. If I sit and wait for the phone to do anything after starting protocol nothing happens.
Also can't get RSD to recognize the phone if its in recovery mode or from android with or without USB debugging turned on.
Wondering what else I can do to get it to work?

Hey man which version of rsd are you using? I find that 5.5 works well. Try reinstalling the drivers, reinstalling rsd, and plug the phone in..be patient as your computer installs the drivers to the phone. It should recognize it.

I'll check when I get home and report back. This is the one thing keeping me from installing CM7 ... the inability to flash back to stock lol.
Thanks for the heads up.

all the drivers installed. I installed RSD 5.5... i shut the phone down and booted into RSD.. "starting RSD protocol support"... then i plugged the phone in (w/ RSD open/running)... the computer installed the driver "SE sunfire flash" (or something like that)... but RSD would not recognize the phone. It never showed a device connected no matter how many times I hit the 'show device' button.
Any ideas ?
updating sbf query....
Posting this once again reply if anyone knows.....

Tried RSD 5.5 and 5.3 with no luck.
My computer makes the sound of a device connecting but RSD fails to see it.

I had this issue with my first Photon, I think that you're screwed.
You have no way to SBF your phone...
WAIT A MINUTE....
WAIT --- How did you unlock your bootloader the first time without SBFing???

I'm not unlocked.. only rooted stock. Nothing more, nothing less..
Part of the reason I haven't unlocked bootloader or installed CWM or CM7 is because I can't SBF anything yet.. I want to make sure I can do a successful return to stock before I do anything else (When I had my Epic I got very good w/ Odin.. it's Samsung's computer recovery tool.. similar to using RSD w/ sbf file)
Would you be willing to factory reset and wipe data and start over?

I've tried that.. no worky either.. but I'm down for anything..
(by the way, I just installed wubi so I can try the sbf_flash command to see if that works LMFAO) ... I'll report back in the morning after I try it.
So I have a bit of a problem. I will explain the timeline of events. Any assistance anyone can give would be greatly appreciated.
Roughly a week ago I rooted my stock 2.3.4 X2 using the one click method. Click Here for Example.
No issues with that.
Yesterday I decided I wanted to install the CM7 rom This method.
I began flashing the 2.3.4 SBF using my Windows 7 64-bit machine with RSD 5.4.4. It completed flashing groups through the G65. It then attempted to switch to bypass mode. I received this error "Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode(0x70BE)" and it failed.
I have since updated the QHSUSB Driver and tried again. Still no luck.
Tried multiple computers and it still kept failing.
I have also tried booting into Ubuntu and was supposedly able to load the SBF using SBF_FLASH successfully. I say supposedly because the terminal acts as though there were no issues and it completes, but the phone still doesn't work.
When I boot up the X2 now, I get the error "Modem did not power up (1) Starting RSD protocol support".
I have the ability to get to the recovery menu and such so I am hoping there is some avenue I can take to get back to a functioning phone. Please let me know if you can help!
Thanks!
So are you saying you tried flashing cm7 with rsd? if so that's where you went wrong. You have to use the BSR. have you tried to sbf the stock 2.3.4?

No, I was trying to flash the stock 2.3.4 SBF with RSD before rooting and flashing CM7 with BSR. The error occurred while trying to flash to stock.
I am also able to boot into the android OS by using the Boot Android (No BP) option on the boot menu. Everything in the actual OS seems fine, just no signal.
Attempt to use fastboot
So about 2 weeks ago i tried sbfing to 2.3.4 on a windows 7 laptop. I got failed boot 4 entering rsd. It for some reason booted fully once (after like 8 fails). Im going to do it again on my windows xp 32 bit computer. Would that help? Was i doing anything wrong. And can i please have a 2.3.4 sbf file link?
