Yes, while I understand there have been many threads in regards to RSD Lite not recognizing phones, hear me out as none of them have been helpful to me. I recently got into the world of rooting and flashing roms, so like a fool yesterday I flashed Eclipse v.1 over 2.3.3. Ever since I have been experience the wifi connectivity issue, so reasonably I tried to use RSD lite to get the 2.3.4 sbf onto my X2. However, using RSD 4.5.3 I kept getting a status message along the lines of "chipset type 53 is not supported." Trying it again also with the 2.3.3 sbf, I tried using RSD v.4.9 and 5.3.1, however neither would recognize my phone. Now I am beginning to encounter other issues with Eclipse (my own fault) and I would greatly appreciate any input. All drivers are up to date for anyone who was going to throw that out again.
Be sure the machine you are running rsd on has plenty of disk space.
I got wierd errors a while back when i was running next to full on the HD RSD makes a temporary file before it flashes.

I have more than enough HD space. When running 4.5.3 it has the chipset error as the device status when paired with any sbf.
Are you running RSD as administrator? Maybe that could be a problem but i dont know.
If you are rooted and have installed system recovery try and flash the 2.3.4 zip aligned update in recovery and see if that works

Just tried both ways in 4.9, neither were successful
It might be quicker if you enumerated, step-by-step, how you last sbf'ed ... that way, the more experienced amongst us can determine where you went wrong.
Oh, and throw in details on your computer's OS, too ... I hear there have been some problems using RSD Lite with Windows 7.

I attempted to sbf based on the standard method from what I've seen in threads: run RSD (various versions were attempted), select the sbf, start the RSD protocol on my phone THEN plug it into the usb, and so on.

Just tried that, 2.3.3 isn't showing up when booting and 2.3.4 gets aborted due to signature verification failure or something along those lines.
I am curious as to what is meant by flash 2.3.4 zip aligned update?

Also have u tried a factory reset from STOCK recovery? Not the bootstrap...STOCK...
Then see if rsd works
Aldo what method are u using to get to rsd protocol mode?
do u hold power and volume up? ((This is how I do it))
U can also find it with power and vol down then scroll down after u see dastboot on top...try both ways
I know I have had a couple timed where it took a few minutes for rsdlite to actually see my phone ...think it was trying to auto install drivers....
U try uninstallin moto drivers and reinstall? Something go wacky?
I use rsdlite 5.4.4 by the way

Signature verification sounds like the file corrupted. Try redownloading the sbf file through Firefox or chrome and unzip the file with 7zip.

I have tried both methods of recovery, bootstrap and stock as well as the power+ vol up method and the method of accessing the RSD protocol through the vol down boot method. I have also tried reinstalling drivers as well. I also don't believe time was an issue with RSDlite as I gave each version a good 20 minutes to try to recognize my phone (excluding 4.5).

I will try that, I have yet to try 7zip. Also when I try to access the 2.3.3 sbf zip file from recovery it does not show up as an option.
The versions of RSD you are using are older, I've been using 5.5 without any issues. If the phone is not being recognized it could be a driver issue on your windows machine. My older computer cannot recognize my phone i think the USB is 1.0.
Use version 5.x.x and higher...

Try run as administrator when you start rsd lite

my recovery never loads through.
Its there. however it sits on the dual core technology screen when plugged into the wall. i even tried the battery-less plug into wall -- trick, it is still sitting at that screen.
its been roughly 3 hours - i'd assume it should have gone through by now.
that aside the rom boots however it is at the initial setup page and doesn't allow me to process the initial setup due to spam force close.
i have the sbf file and know how to use it, what i don't know how to do is get my phone to allow me to use the sbf file when i can't control it. the phone can't be in charging mode without something ignoring the force closes briefly.
i had read somewhere to use launcher pro, using the "hold search and say the command"
it doesn't seem to do anything no matter what i say nor how long i hold it for.
So if my phone is completely screwed thats that. i guess it comes down to are there any options i haven't exhausted yet?
or. can you switch charge only mode through some other means other than the soft key press in a menu i can't access?
EDIT: i looked through a couple of the options in the regular recovery. BP SW Bypass RSD is at the moment letting me see it to use RSD on it. hopefully meaning i can just sbf and move on.
EDIT: Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve initialization value from INI file (0x7029)
bah just when i thought i had something.
You have to hit INSTALL RECOVERY before you go into recovery mode.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
i did hit install recovery, this is how i installed the rom - eclipse 0.6 from sd which caused all of the problems in the first place.
I think you have to use the plain RSD mode not the one you are using.
Also the voice search thing is just to kick you into the browser so you can backdoor into the market and install a launcher. I installed zeam that way and I was off to the races.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
jeffgarret, i attempted this as well and i'm getting the same problem. it can't read my ini file or something of that nature...
Code:
Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve initialization value from INI file (0x7029)
this is what it gives me for both modes.
i get this error before the above error (before i actually "start" it)
Code:
Chipset type 53 is not supported
I would try re-downloading the sbf file in case something is buggered with it. Also I believe it is zipped. Regardless of what zip program you have, download and use 7zip for it.

so what you're saying is -- what i'm using should work, but isn't due to some random issue somewhere....
Every time I flashed a rom I had to hit install again or it would sit at Motorola logo forever
Also that sbf error definitely sounds like you need to use 7zip like
other guy said. I tried winzip, winrar, and gzip and had errors with all 3, other people say they work but 7zip works for everyone
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
i used universal unzip before (which acts sort of like 7zip... only different)
EDIT: it seems RSD is still giving me the same errors:
freshly downloaded sbf and i even used 7zip.
which probably means the error is actually the real error. so something is messy with my ini ... or something
P.S. i did use it as administrator (every time)
Can you get the rom to boot now? If not can you get to stock recovery and wipe everything then try to get the rom to boot.
Also you may know this but if you are on a desktop sometimes you have to use the back usb ports to RSD.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Sometimes the drivers don't install right, I didn't have that problem but some people have uninstalled and reinstalled the driver when they get errors and it worked for them. What version of rsd are you using? I think 5.3.1 is the one I used. There are newer versions but I havnt used so I can't say if they work.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Are you using power and volume up for RSD MODE on ur phone? I believe that is the way you need to do it. That is how I always have. And like evil Tim said. If u r using the newer RSD lite floating around then try old faithful 5.3.1
Sorry if my suggestions have been tried or mentioned. Its all I can think of for now
going to attempt your different version of RSD lite.
heh... i was using 4.8 from back when i would restore my Droid X
hopefully this is the final step i need to do...
EDIT: well it has started the process, i'd imagine i'm good to go.
i was able to get it into charge mode by restarting my phone a bunch of times and one of the times it happened to let me scroll the notification bar down (usually its blocked by the initial setup)
Thanks for everyone's support and ideas, i thought i was out of luck; but it looks like its all good.
Glad to hear it !!!
Thanks for the report back. I was wondering how ya made out.
Im assuming it was the RSDlite version that changed the outcome? Or was it u being able to get charged?

So far I have yet to see someone HARD BRICK their x2. I can't see it happening unless it's someone messing with bootloader partitions and signature and such. Though I've read that sbf isn't really a FULL partition included. I was a bit thrown off at how after I sbf first time when I complete deleted my build.prop and other things before I knew better, that I had the same wallpaper as before sbf. Lol
It was the version of rsdlite more than the getting it back to charge mode. Basically eclipse remix had a bug in their initial setup (which has been fixed) I just had all sorts of little problems here and there such as having the older rsdlite which I hadn't even thought about updating.

YET ANOTHER UPDATE 1/9/2012:
MAJOR SUCCESS VIA THE FOLLOWING LINK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21015556&postcount=6
THIS IS ACTUALLY A US CELLULAR SBF FLASH BUT I SUCCESSFULLY FLASHED THAT FILE TO MY PHOTONSTEIN AND MANAGED TO GET BOOTED ALL THE WAY INTO THE ANDROID/GOOGLE SETUP WIZARD.
NOW I AM ATTEMPTING TO FLASH A SPRINT 198_7 SBF.
UPDATE 1/9/2012:
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A EVO 3D FROM CRAIGSLIST TO REPLACE MY PHOTON. THEREFORE, I WILL KEEP MY PHOTON AS A LAB MOUSE TO TRY TO GET A HEART BEAT BACK INTO IT. THANKS FOR ALL THE EFFORT TO EVERYONE! I WILL KEEP THIS THREAD UPDATED UNTIL I EITHER GET MY "PHOTONSTEIN" WALKING AGAIN OR BURRIED IN THE BONE YARD WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
UPDATE! I have had successful communication with the photon through android-sdk. I don't however have the correct img file to flash to the phone. Does anyone have any ideas?
Okay, I know I am somewhat of a newbee at this. But I followed all the steps and wound up with a brick. All I get is "Failed to boot 3" then "Starting RSD mode".
I tried flashing the "1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf" and it fails telling me that it failed to re-enumerate.
Am I screwed or does anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks.

You may also want to reinstall the drivers for your photon. I had the same problem and a quick driver reinstall fixed it.
It appears that I have either damaged or deleted the bootloader. Sprint won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Does anyone know how to get the bootloader back to the device?
I am able to connect to it with RSD Lite but I can't flash anything.

Are you still getting "starting RSD mode"?
If you are, I think you're safe. I guess you're one of the many of us who flashed 2.3.5 pudding into their Photons. If that's the case you can follow a small tutorial i did here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21015556&postcount=6
Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
You shouldn't need the bootloader at all actually. I had the same issue with my phone. I had to remove the SIM card and the SD card. Then when you put the battery back in Hold down the Power button and the Volume up button until it says RSD lite mode or something along those lines. Then connect it to your computer and run the RSD lite and select the proper factory ROM that you need to install back on your MOPHO. You will lose root access but your phone should be right back to all of the factory settings. I have done this multiple times to fix error that I got because I am new to Rooting my device and everything as well. I will give you links to where I was able to find some addition support as well.

Download RSD Lite and 198_7 SBF from.
http://www.holylivingfuck.com/ACS/SBFs/
You should read this thread on more information about 198_7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666
Make sure you have proper USB drivers for OS 64 or 32 bit installed, install RSD lite and follow the directions below.
Make sure your battery is greater than 50percent before doing any of this.
1) Fire off RSD lite, select the SBF you need 198_7 .
2) Hold down power and vol up till RSD mode comes up
3) Plug into usb then start the flashing sequence.. ( the whole process will take a while)
4) The process is done when RSD lite says manually power up the phone.. You may need to take the back off and pull the battery to restart it incase it doesnt power up on its own.
I wonder if you downloaded an incomplete sbf. Try flash 198-7sbf one more time or see if you can enter android recovery and wipe. Also. Check the motorola driver is installed correctly.

I have been having data & app issues with my Photon for the last couple of days. And wanted to flash to have a clean slate. When I try to flash any sbf I get the screen below. Pulling the battery and rebooting gets me back into the ROM, but looks like it didn't flash. I have tried different sbf, data cables, versions of RSD Lite. I am stumped, and hope the pic may shed some light on the issue.

This is the first time flashing with this Photon. It's a referb I received a few weeks ago. My original Photon flashed fine.
No spare PC or laptop around to try. Could installing XP solve the issue, or win7 32 bit? My PC is running win7 64 bit.
Try 198_7. I had the same issues with 198_6 I believe. Switching to a different sbf fixed my issues. I also had better results on a windows XP box. In pure windows and not a virtual machine.

I did it/do everything with 32bit Win7, but don't want to tell you to go through the hassle of installing an entire OS considering it is just a shot in the dark as to whether it will fix it or not. Only other thing i would think to try would be putting the phone into RSD mode and plugging it into computer and see if Windows installs any drivers that way BEFORE trying to open up and flash through RSDlite.

Using 5.5 and the ROMS are from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20331570&postcount=3
Well flashing with 198_7 worked! But isn't that a leaked ROM? And where is the best place to download 198_6? Just never had luck with customs, stock + root works for me.

Nope! Did you fix it? If so how?
This is the first time flashing with this Photon. It's a referb I received a few weeks ago. My original Photon flashed fine.
No spare PC or laptop around to try. Could installing XP solve the issue, or win7 32 bit? My PC is running win7 64 bit.

Nope, but got it working. Was a problem with the sbf I think.
I have tried to sbf with rsd lite 5.3.1 and every other versions. I also tried with linux and mac and that live sbf disk. I have tried 10 different sbf files. my computer has windows 7 ultimate and ubuntu 11.11. I get a error on rsd lite that says waiting for phone to re-enumerate, and a message on the screen of the x2. It sucks because now I have my htc eris and this phone sitting here.
What happens on linux?

I got that error too if you are trying to flash a 2.3.5 SBF and your Kernal is 2.3.6. If that is the case you can not go back due to a security issue that Motorola implemented. So you would need to find the 2.3.6 SBF. I would assume that you are putting it into RSD mode on the phone?
it just gets the same thing on the phone as rsd lite and sits there and after 5 minutes it says failed and weird symbols

i have sbfed it before with the milestone x2 2.3.5 sbf and updated it so ill try the 2.3.6 milestone x2 sbf... when i flashed that i lost 3g and wifi. does any know how to get that back
Hmm... I had the same issue but it was because I was trying to sbf back from 2.3.6 to 2.3.5. Now is your phone a Milestone X2 or a Droid x2?
I have you tried putting into recovery mode and clearing out the factories? I know this sounds basic but... sometimes that needs to be done.
Is the computer registering the phone?
Have you tried unistalling the drivers from the computer and reinstall them?
Same thing with RSD.. Have you tried a different version of RSD?
These are the only things I can think of. I hope something helps! Best of luck to you and let me know how it goes.
i got it back up thank u for the kernal stuff. i forgot i flashed it with the milestone x2 sbf so i got it back up. alot of ppl lost 3g but i didnt
AWESOME! PROBLEM SOVED. I would go ahead an edit the title of this and say it was solved.

then just simply change the Title.
droid razr maxx 4.1.2
This is what my phone says when it turns on! encryption was interrupted and cant complete, as a result the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
to resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. when you set up your phone after the reset, youll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account.
it gives me a reset button but when I press it my phone just restarts and says the same thing???
I had just rooted it using razr blade and it worked great but I wanted to have clockworkmod to be able to do any recoverys if needed. I downloaded a bootstrap recovery that I found and it worked fine. I did this because rom manager didn't support my phone, I gave it superuser access and clicked boot in recovery to make sure that it worked. it did, and looked just like clockworkmod recovery even said clockworkmod recovery. anyways I clicked normal boot to restart my phone and now im here... any ideas on what I can do??? I don't have any backups yet I didn't get that far.
Have you considered using a different recovery? BMM and Safestrap (i use the latter) are current ,proven, and reversible. As for correcting the problem, I'd just wipe the slate clean. That's what RSDlite is for.

This is for rooting, recovery, and fixing soft brick. Do your homework before you use these utilities, and make sure you know how to fix your phone before breaking it!

Somebody posted a thread that looks like a similar problem (today, as a matter of fact). There is a link in one of the replies to a fix.

im pretty sure im screwed, its cause i cant turn on usb debugging to connect to anything ive been trying everything all day and no luck so idk..
You were using RSDlite in fastboot mode, and the computer didn't recognize the device? USB debugging isn't an option when you're outside of the OS, so it's just a matter of having the right USB cable and Moto drivers installed.

i downloaded my 4.1.2 firmware and put it in rsd and then it un zipped. my computer reads my phone when i plug it in. and in fastboot it says that its connected to usb but rsd doesnt read
So after a couple days of browsing every page on the internet to find a solution on why RSD lite woudnt read my phone and still not coming up with an answer, I decided to try it on my desktop which runs windows 7 vs windows 8 on my laptop and wouldnt you know it my phone popped right up and i was able to use RSD lite to flash my phone back to stock 4.1.2. thanks to luckiestnut419, phone is good to go. Thanks for all your help man.
