Trying to unlock SBF 198-7 - Motorola Photon 4G

First let me apologize if this has been answered. I have tried to look in the forums for an answer and can't find it.
What I am trying to do:
Unlock SBF 198-7
Install jokers ROM
I am stuck trying to unlock SBF 198-7. I know it is possible b/c the rom requires it. If someone can please explain how to do that would be great. If there is a thread about this already that I have missed please share the link and I will request this thread be locked so that it doesn't waste anyone elses time.
I am familiar with RSD and Fastboot and have tried the steps if you have the stock 154 SBF.
Thanks again
Phone info:
Sys ver.: 45.3.7.MB855
Build ver.: 4.5.1a-1_sun-198.7
**Forgot to mention** When I try and do moto-fastboot oem unlock ######### I get - "... INFOOEM unlock is not implemented" If that helps any

If you've already unlocked your bootloader before.. Just use the unlock bootloader by itself.. You should be good from there ...
The unlock itself can be used through rsd .. ..no need to type anything

This is kind of where I am. I was unlocked before I started. Looks like I am going to have to try phyba's suggestion if no one else has any ideas.
I don't mind at all doing this just seems like there should be an easier way

http://diamantephoto.com/photon_pudding.rar flash this through rsd u should be good!! make sure u extract and flash the sbf... only takes a minute

Thread moved to proper forum.

Once you've unlocked once u never have to use fastboot except to replace recovery. If u relock ur bootloader u never have to do the OEM unlock script again. Its forever there in a way.
sent from Cybertron, mopho!

Yep. Once you've unlocked, you don't have to do the fastboot. As everyone has mentioned. I can also confirm this. I've done it probably fifteen times.

I recommend you use one of the ROMs that already is deodexed.

i'm reading the warning and it states this...
"If you already updated to OTA without unlock, and are not unlocked, then you will soft brick(0x1000 error). To fix it you have to unlock."
i'm confused, do i flash this to unlock, or will it softbrick me because i'm using the OTA update and not unlocked?
also, one other question, will this wipe my internal memory?

If you already installed OTA without an unlock. Then you have the fuse burned that prevents you from downgrading to the official 1.8.3 sbf. If you do, you will brick your phone.
This sbf should work over the OTA. Think of it like a full reinstall of Windows, but in this case it is Android. To extend the metaphor further, this sbf is like having SP1 slipstreamed in, in that it has the unlocked bootloader integrated.
It will wipe your data, backup!
alright, well i'm downloading the file now.
hopefully all goes well
i'll come back once it's flashed.
thanks for all your help so far

hmm, was reading more through that thread and saw this...
REDFOCZ "Ok well, and using this after getting the ota update bricked my phone, and I am getting the 0x1000 failed to boot message...."
The phone turns on just long enough to give the SVF:105.1:2 Failed to boot 0X1000, and for split second and then power off ... I dont have an option to go into fast boot ...
So i can not do the fast boot oem unlock command

According to the OP you should be able to log into fastboot and use "oem unlock" command but I have not attempted this myself.
I'm not sure if the gentleman above did something incorrectly but he should be able to access fastboot.

[Q] Can't unlock bootloader

Okay, so here's where I'm at. I tried to load the pudding stock SBF and the just bootloader SBF from the pudding thread. And each time I tried to flash either of said files, I got a file error, same as what was posted in the thread. So I've tried to follow that thread on a fix, I can't understand any of what was said. Each time I've tried it my phone has been at 95-100% charged. So I'm not sure what if anything can be done. I have it rooted, and I managed to get the Laser P-Rom or what not onto my phone. But that's about it. The only reason I'm unlocking is for the Alein ROM. Any help would be much appreciated.
Sbf failed on me 3 times.. But I was still unable to unlock. Try going ahead and doing the fastboot command.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Okay. I can get back to flashing the SBF. But I'm lost at the fastboot command. I tried following the directions on the site I was using, and it didn't come up with anything? Is there is clear set of directions with where to extract the files to? And I'm using command prompt same as I did to root my phone correct?
Are you familiar with adb?

Mine does the same. And okay. I'll try to save it and extract the files. See if I can get it to work one more time.
So is there a way to check if I have unlocked my boot loader? I think I have, but I'm not totally for sure.
Sorry for 8 million posts. But I've done it! I just had to read through a couple different things. And actually read what was on the screen and now I've managed to unlock my bootloader. And got it to work. Thanks for the help guys.
what did you have to do for yours?
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-photon-4g-bootloader-unlocked

My RSD lite loads me up too 99% and I ignore it and continue, I run the adb commands and get to the prompt with my Unique ID but I'm lost on how maby digits or what format to exactly type back to unlock my device...I see some forums have 11digits and others with 7-10. I have tried type the exact ID word for word and some with only 11digits but always get the error this ID is not correct prompt, Help would be greatly apprecited!
I will post my ID later since its unique to each device it won't matter or a identity level, I just need someone to specifically tell me what to enter when I post my Unique ID

Could someone please make a working pudding remover

The nopudding4u download that someone posted doesn't work and gives Fail to boot 2 errors to everyone who tries it out.
Could one of you please make a pudding remover that works? I would like to relock my bootloader, so that way my 4G will work. I don't want to reflash an entire sbf as I want to keep my data.
I just relocked my bootloader with the pudding remover... it says that it's failed... but it works.. make sure you flashed the stock recovery before you relock... but I kinda did it backwards... but it works...
I would get Fail to boot 2.
I had to reflash pudding to get my phone to boot.
I really want to remove pudding and the steps provided don't do much.

I'm wondering as to what exactly is the problem with nopudding4u that makes it fail to work properly.
I believe that Failed to boot 2 error means that your battery is below 50% charge. The RSD softeware on the phone won't let to flash if you're under 50% battery.
I got that error and then put my Photon on the AC charger. Tryed again 20 minutes later and the boot worked.
what does Failed to boot 4 mean?
Work it does not, rsd you must do.

Make sure you guys have the right nopudding.sbf I had the failed to boot 2 a while ago when I flashed an electrify.sbf by mistake and It nearly terminally bricked my phone. I have locked and unlocked multiple times using the correct nopudding I believe there is also a stock sbf that will relock, but I'm not sure where to find it, I would assume try googling it.

I'm not quite sure what's going on as I root-unlock-relock a couple times a day on a dev day with no issues. There seems to be a flood of OMGWTFBBQ posts regarding this process. What threads are you guys reading for instructions?

Working right now and I have to do some research to remember how I did it (been a while) , but most definitely. I'll get back to you on it tonight. where I'm at it's almost 1 so it'll be about 9 When I can pm u
I unlocked a while back to check out ICS. I then flashed back to stock using the 198_7 sbf and did a factory wipe. My phone no longer said unlocked during boot and everything was good. However, a couple days back I decided that I wanted to unlock again to try some new cool things. During the unlock process, I flashed the pudding sbf and when it reboot it said unlocked. I didnt have to go through the cmd steps and enter my unique ID. So that has me wondering if I was ever really relocked. I definitely had the stock recovery. So, even if my phone does not say unlocked during boot, should I flash the nopudding4u sbf? I ask because I will be traveling to a wimax area soon and want to make sure that I can use it.
Thanks guys.

u only have to put in the unique I'd once. Its like unlocking the door that allows u to open and close it. I believe with 198_7 u don't need to use no pudding, but I have been on cm9 a long time and my memories a little foggy. U can however flash it just to be safe.

Flashed pudding 2.3.5 for the Photon, now what?

I don't read well, apparently, and flashed the Electrify 2.3.5 file in hopes of unlocking my bootloader.
Has anyone else (I have read that a handfull of people have been stupid like me) had any luck unbricking the device?
I have access to RSD protocol and Fastboot.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: The only thing my phone says now is:
SUF: 108:1:2
Failed to boot 3

EDIT #2: Downloaded someones CWM flashable kernel and flashed to boot.img via moto-fastboot. Not I have an "Failed to boot 2", which people have recovered from. I am currently flashing (198_7)-1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf and it's 55% completed, which is higher than it got before........

I haven't personally tried it, but as far as I know you can't. You are stuck on 2.3.5 until someone releases a new bootloader unlocker.

But if you wanted to re-lock your phone to get 4g could you do it or would you also get the Failed to Boot 1 error?
Point being is that I think it relocks your phone and does not allow for a downgrade.

If you would not mind can you please outline what you did?
This is what I did:
1. Installed regular pudding
2. Installed cwm recovery
3. Installed 2.3.5 for Electrify/Photon via cwm
Then did:
1. Installed stock recovery
2. Installed nopudding4g
After that I started getting the Failed to Boot 1
No matter which locked 2.3.4 I try to flash via RSD it fails on first flash pass when it tries to put the phone into BP bypass.
First to get my phone back to normal in rsd mode I flashed the sunfire sbf then to unlock my phone I used pudding unlock sbf then to get recovery I had to do the one click root then got the bootstrap app to flash cwm zip then I installed jokers stock rom

and when i tryd to erase and then flash and i got the same thing.
moreover when i start the phone somehow after i flash the sbf the tuch screen works funny (its not dead pixel) its like the touch screen moved one half inch lower
After flashing sbf, in order to flash a custom recovery, you first need to flash a pudding sbf file to unlock the bootloader. After unlocking the bootloader, running the command "fastboot oem unlock" and then repeating the command with your device's ID, you can flash CWM to your recovery.

Seeing as your device is a non-ATT device, did you flash a pudding sbf or the IHOP sbf?

i flashed to my original sbf Partner (Orange) Israel 2.3.4 / 45.33.0
Ok. After you flash that, you have to flash another sbf file over that one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1136261 will get you to the instructions on what to do. Since Orange is what is considered international, you need the IHOP sbf on the page.

i got a message its already unlock
and it still dont let me flash with fastboot
so do you any answer?
After seeking advice from a dev, this is the response i was given:
Could also be the recovery is in fact in that directory but is not named recovery.img. Or, if fastboot actually managed to load the file but still reports that error, it could be that his bootloader is either not unlocked or is having issues (the fastboot protocol is implemented in the bootloader AFAIK).

I'm not sure what the heck is going on with your phone or how to fix it, but I'm going to advise you to stay far far away from SBFs from now on.

I'm going to recommend you ask one of the devs about how to fix it. You can flash another sbf file, but make sure it is the same version as what you have. So if you flashed a 2.3.6 sbf, you need to flash a sbf that is 2.3.6 or risk bricking your phone.

One other thing. I'm about to head off to basic training and will be offline for about 10 wks starting next wk. Any one of the atrix dev's should be able to help you further with your phone. I'll do what i can until i leave.

I didn't see this post when i first logged in. Seeing as this comes from one of the atrix devs, i'm going to stand behind this bit of advice, but i still will stand behind what i said before, ask the devs for help.
