Hi Is there any news on the sbf file to flash with rsd lite for our motorola razr? As my motorola razr is bricked on the home screen help me!!!!
What did you do?
Regardless, I believe if you hold the power button + volume up (or maybe power + volume up.. or power + BOTH volume up AND volume down) it'll take you to the "recovery" screen. From there, is a there a 'factory reset' option? Try that.
If not, wait a few days and I'm sure an SBF will surface.
doesn't work with option of factory reset, i wait sbf file rom , how much days i wait for sbf files?
There won't be any sbf files.

This guy posted in the development section stating he went on a delete binge w/o pulling his system first. He's deleted some core blur files and now is stuck in a soft bootloop. People sometimes .

RAZR should support RSD Mode as every Motorola device out there, so, an SBF should come.
Anyway, there is a possibility that, like happened on Droid Bionic, they won't use SBF and switch definitely to FXZ, but anyway as a reply to your question, a recovery file (SBF or FXZ) will come.
We'll see.

Or, like the Atrix, it is leaked.

Ok, I've seriously messed it up this time.. I think I partitioned the internal drive by accident or whatever it was I pressed while thinking I knew what I was pressing (sunlight on the screen..) , Now at boot it says
"PwrReason: SW_AP_Reset
No OS detected, going to RSD Mode in 5 seconds"
and it gives me the options to choose everything from RSD to BP Tools. I try to choose Android Recovery or Boot Android & it gives Magic Value Mismatch: Reading ODM fuse: 1
I can only pull battery and choose either RSD or Fastboot. I suppose I cannot flash an SBF in RSD because then it's definitely be bricked..
WTF have I done..?!?!
Flashed Romracers's latest CWM. It's now stuck at "Entering Android Recovery Mode"..
I'm thinking of flashing the 1.2.6 sbf and start from there, ain't sure if it will brick it though..

Don't flash a earlier sbf if you were unlocked on 2.3.4... you will surely be bricked then. If you were on 2.3.4, then you could try flashing the gingerbread sbf again. Have you tried fastboot -w?

Flashing the gingerbread .sbf will be fine as long as yer on GINGERBREAD, any earlier .sbf isn't recommended.

Ow, I thought it was only the 1.8.3 that was a problem.
Am downloading the Gingerbread-4.5.91.zip Will I do that through fastboot?
I've erased everything, can do that in fastboot. It just doesn't load into anything else but RSD (I think) & fastboot. "No OS detected" and then the "Available Modes" are listed. Fckng nightmare..
If yer downloading the .sbf, no. You'll extract the .zip and use RSD lite to flash the file inside it. Atleast that's what I do.

I am using the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342 but don't get anywhere. After reboot I'm back to step 1.
Do you know where I can find the gingerbread SBF to flash by RSD?
P.S. Attached the screen it goes to as soon as I hit power, never seen it before..
Tried to flash the Gingerbread SBF through RSD, crashed at first (and made me kiss 400€ goodbye).. Thought I'd try once more...AND IT WORKED!!!!! At least it boots & starts!
Now though, it seems like the bottom part of the screen or perhaps just the 4 buttons are dead. And the drop down bar doesn't go down so that upper part is messed up as well. It seems the screen is borked. It also flashes quickly past the motoblur screen & takes me to the emergency call screen.
Anyone has a clue..?

I have this problem yesterday exactly same as yours! Lol anyways, the problem is that your pds partition got deleted. So what you need to do is to follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649
Do the moto-fastboot step, its more easier than adb. Hope I helped! Don't forget to thank me buddy lol

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.

You can cut the end off of a charger strip the wires red on pos+ black on neg- and plug it in but don't leave it on longer than 20 min at a time cuz battery might over heat

I can start the flash process but after a while the following message appears on the screen of the Photon: "sec_exception: b655, eddt, eb".
Then the flas process out and displays the following:
"Failed flashing process. Phone(000): Phone did not re-enumerate after RAM-downloader was sent. (0x703E); phone connected.
Has anyone seen this and recovered from it?
P.S. This is all with or without the SIM card and SD card inserted or removed.

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.

just the VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.xml is over a GB size, and it is taking forever to get downloaded, just waiting for it, otherwise i have everything else ready...
Thanks in advance buddy
do u think i should install safestrap? i mean after booting? is it safer?
I've used CWM and Safestrap, both work well. Safestrap gives you the advantage of basically being able to dual boot your system while leaving your primary ROM untouched, good for testing and messing around. I don't personally care for CWM, some people like it, just a matter of preference.
Yeah, the file is huge but once you have the fastboot files you don't have to worry about bricking your phone as long as you can get into AP Fastboot mode.
Quick question...did you try to wipe data/cache? When I had my DX ran into this same issue and needed to do a simple wipe. Just a thought.

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

I'm concerned my Photon is bricked and wanted to reach out to the community for some help. I recently came across a Photon running 2.3.5 which I know can't be unlocked with pudding. I was searching around for options and I came across this post. I was able to find the two SBF files for electrify on motosunfire.com. I know it says not for the Photon but the post I read before said it worked for them. I first tried the 2.3.4 and it failed re-emnumeration (Spelling?) so I figured I would go ahead and try the other. I used RSD Lite to flash the 2.3.5 and it failed to but I can't remember what it error message was. Now when I try to boot up the phone it hangs on the Motorola Dual Core logo. I can't get it to boot into fastboot or rsd mode. Without either of those or a normal boot I feel like I maybe screwed.... Any assistance would be welcomed!
PS I have tried Googling it and searching on XDA and nothing seems to work. RIght now I'm just letting the phone rest. I tried plugging it in to see if I can get the charging battery to show up and again it hung at the Motorola Dual Core screen. I know the battery should still have a good charge though.

I now have a similar problem. I'm a sprint User and was unlocked and rooted using Cyanogenmod 9 and needed to go back to stock. I followed QBKING77s guide on unbricking and going back to stock for your photon and it bricked my photon to rsd mode.
From there I tried flashing the other sbfs and still was bricked. I then saw that flashing another SBF file may get me out of the bootloop I was in on this thread.

Next, Remove the Battery for some Minutes like 5mins, then put back on, wait some Minutes again, like 10mins, then it will continue, and you will have Electrify System. after that, you have too root, and bootstrap, and install stock rom of photon to get back.

Have you try This: Turn if off, then plug it in an outlet, wait to power it by itseft, then wait if it will continue to boot in System. Maybe the battery
seems not to be recognized or something.
Good news people it booted on its own. It is running Stock USC but it boots!!!
