1 - How did you install it?
2 - Can you get into RSD mode again? (power+vol up) during reboot
If yes to #2, then use RSD to flash 154_5 sbf file.
yes i can still get into rsd. Iflasked 154-5 sbf
i will boot then go to the sprint logo the first time. after that it just reboots with the m.
I am using rsd lite 5.6. The only thing that isstrange in that is that in the end it says power phone up manualy. at that time the phone in on. so i pull the battery and reboot.

Now, try to get into Android Recovery by getting into fastboot and then select volume down until you reach A.R. and select up. Can you reset your phone this way? Also, RSD will ask you to manually boot up phone. Pulling battery and booting up was the proper way to do so.

I would recommend charging all the way up, and flashing 154_5 first...and then once that's up, then flash the 198_7 sbf..
i have 154-5 working now. I am still pretty charged. I am nwo flasking 198-7.
I hope what was the problem was that i didnt know how to do the ar factory resect before. I had a modded rom on it before but wifi tether wasnt working. so that is why i am doing all this.
I remember screwing up once, and I factory resetted, wiped the system, flashed 154_5, then 198_7 and had to unlock, re-root install all my apps again because I didn't backup using CWM, only bootstrap. That SUUUCKED.
Where can I purchase glasses?

Hi, I am pretty new to this stuff, so bear with me here.
I recently rooted and installed eclipse v 0.5. Everything went well except I did not get my contacts and figured I did something wrong in the original ROM. I decided to go back to my original rom...but decided to wipe data because I thought that was the right thing to do. Now I have no idea how to restore the nandroid backup because I don't know how to get to clockwork recovery.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

weird, I had root and bootstrap still installed after wiping data/cache and dalvik cache.
That Might Have Been Read Wrong, By Flashing Recovery I Meant Pressing The Install Button. To Me That's Flashing The Recovery.
Have you tried just plugging in the phone to the wall charger. Yes wall. And wait to see if it goes to recovery mode.
If it doesn't work all I think you can do is sbf and start again.
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
ok:
what do you do if said event happens where your recovery doesn't load through after the rom installs with the wipe/cache wipe
your phone boots, however your usb conditions are stuck on usb mode rather than charge mode.
the initial setup starts but is stuck in a loop of force closes that never end.
i have successfully used Roms in the past, no big deal. when **** hits the fan i use sbf; but i'm stuck in limbo where both recovery and sbf are seeming to be out of my options - unless i can change usb mode to charge mode by some strange form of buttons pressed.

Unplug your phone. Hold volume up and power on until you see the m logo and rsd protocol starting.

well that allows rsd to find it but - it won't just flash it and call it good. i'm getting all sorts of errors from rsd saying something about my ini
Code:
Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve initialization value from INI file (0x7029)
i get this error before the above error (before i actually "start" it)
Code:

no dice, same errors
EDIT: the problem was in the RSD version i was using, i got everything working now. thanks!
So a friend of mine has an atrix and I have an inspire, and tonight I did the same things as he did. Ruined our phones.
Background
We both have rooted phones upon flashing a different rom to my phone it "bricked" it (i use that term loosely) Well upon boot up it would stay on the custom boot image that I installed. His was doing the same thing not going past the boot nor going into Clockwork.
Well upon looking around the inspire forums I found a PD98IMG file that took my phone back to the original setting like it was out of the box. I just had to do the normal power+volume down button it and it located the file and extracted everything. Now my inspire works like it was (thank god for backups of previous roms prior to flashing LOL)
Now the question and the reason I am posting in this forum. Is there something like what I used to help my friend get his Atrix working again? I was thinking this would work but not sure. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125944 would this work to get his phone past the boot so he can get his phone working again?
Provide more info on his problem please...

his is the same as mine was. power on and it stays on the main boot screen. according to him he cant get past the boot screen nor into his bootloader same issue I had.
Sounds like a boot loop. Read on it.

That's not a boot loop if it just stays on the screen and doesn't reboot over and over.
Is his bootloader unlocked?
What ROM is he running?
Custom kernel?
Any text on the boot logo screen?
How was new ROM flashed? (Fastboot, CWM, SBF, etc.)
Can CWM be accessed by holding the volume down button as the phone powers on?
Don't flash anything via RSD.

Have him try to flash the SBF again, plugging the USB cable into one of the "back" ports on the computer. Also make sure the battery has a good charge before hand.
Also using another computer may help. Sometimes it's as simple as the USB port you/he was using.
failed to boot 4
Alright, I was running CM9 v13 until last night, but needed my camera for work(nothing portrays an accident scene better than a picture!), so I decided to reflash 198.7. Something terribly went wrong.
Read so many different threads and flashed so many different sbf's my head is spinning. I do know that when I power up and press up I get RSD, and if I power up and press down I can go through the menu. I even tried fastboot and attempted to follow some of these steps with fastboot. http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/rescue-squad/5358-alien-install-gone-bad-bricked-recovered-still-screwed-up-4.html
I am thinking that the bootloader isn't fried since I can get into the menu system, but even after flashing 198.7 if it doesn't fail it cycles through the never ending bootloop. When it does fail I get the following error on the device screen: SVF:106:1:2 sec_exception:b655, eddc, eb
Luckily I have seen Gman floating around here, so since he assisted big time with the atrix issue, I am hoping that he can assist me.
I don't have skype though...
I will have internet access tomorrow, but can't install anything to my work computer(toughbook, locked down like a fiend!)
Ideas? Not looking for a beatdown. Asking for help, from the community.
EDIT: Just saw this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394982For some odd reason I think this is what I did. Now it appears as though I am royally screwed!

You didn't have a nandroid backup of a blur rom you could have used? That would have been better than sbfing back to stock.

Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
You need to factory reset or wipe before flashing a sbf. However all you need to do to get a camera is flash a blur rom like skinny or rocko, or even cm7. When you're done you can wipe and flash back. I do it all the time

Grrr, I must have flashed the Electrify ROM. It boots into it, but has to make the phone call to activate. Can't bypass it. The Electrify has a locked bootloader?
Fastboot, RSD, and ASR work, or at least I can access them. Tried wiping date/factory reset, but it boots back into the Electrify ROM.
Not thinking my local rep will be able to help me out on this one!
Any other ideas?
Edit* Bypassed using the no bp option. Unable to root using Shabby's aio. Goes through the process, reboots, but when I attempt to launch system recovery it reminds me that I don't have root privs.
jokersax, why in your post for CM9 do you tell people that if they want to switch off of CM9 they have to sbf? I've nandroid'ed back without problems to stock, and it's a lot safer than flashing sbf's since everyone seems to temporarily brick.
it actually say just to wipe and flash a different rom. The sbf is to return to stock

I had a similar issue. Unlocking the boot loader I used the Sbf for the Electrify by mistake and not the Pudding.sbf. Only it bricked my phone sticking it on the moto bootup and just giving me some errors and going nowhere from their. Now I'm just spit balling here, but I have a prediction on how you can fix, do some research to make sure this may work and not brick your phone:
1) Unlock your bootloader using Pudding.sbf
2) Use Bootstrap to Install CWM for Photon
3) goto the mounts and storage menu select format system
4) Once that finishes go back and select wipe data/factory reset and then wipe dalvik cache and cache partition
5) After wiped go to the advanced menu select reboot recovery
6) Once it goes back to recovery Power off
7) Go into RSD (hold power nd Volume up+)
8) Flash the stock sbf
9) boot up
10) I would recommend using Sdk tools Fastboot command -W to erase all user data and cache after everything if it boots up
I would assume this would do the trick, the only thing I'm uncertain of is if you'll be able to unlock. (If it goes through a long method then says failed right at the end then it probably worked) If it doesn't work you can continue the rest of the steps using bootstrap, but If it were me I would want to try to get as much Photon on the phone and Electrify off the phone as possible

This is obvious, but I have to ask, did you do a battery pull and let it sit for a couple seconds and then try to reboot? also it's stuck on mogo, is it showing error 2,3 or 4? Or any error for that matter?
Did a few battery pulls.
No error, just the Moto Dual Core Screen.
I contacted one of my friends who is a rep, and he will strip the phone, and exchange it. Helps that his boss has a Mopho and he is getting one in a few days.

current condition: 2.3.4 stock/unlocked
I'm trying to relock my photon, I tried the quick method by factory reset then flashing back stock recovery, then rsd the nopuddingforyou.sbf file. End result is *failed to boot 1* error.
And I can't pull up recovery via pwr+dwn...screen goes blank with that.
The only way back to booting up android is flashing *derpunLock.sbf* and it still saying unlock at top of screen.
I tried rsd'ing the full 198-7.sbf file.
It completes, reboots phone and same error *failed to boot 1*
Again, only way back to booting android is..
Flash with rsd, the derpunlock.sbf file
Which leaves me with a fresh install and an unlock bootloader.
I was using the root-unlock-relock "kit" lokifish has on his martian imporrium site (sorry if I missed spelled it.

You will relock once you wipe and then SBF...but you need to get into fastboot first...so turn off the phone, and then press pwr+vol down...it should say Unlocked fastboot..then hook it up to the computer...reflash CWM if you can..
flash the CWM recovery.img like before and then cmd: fastboot reboot
Reboot the phone into RSD mode..and flash the SBF...

you can try restoring your system because that's all that's messed up. i've had a couple people try my system restore method and it worked. one has reported a failed to boot 4... you can alternatively try the sbf restore. both are shown on my site here http://www.motosunfire.com/system/ be sure to restore your backup (which you should have one) if you get it booted from the system restore.

it shouldn't hurt because it's only restoring the system files. you can either do that or flash the Electrify SBF, but then you need to do a bunch of other steps to restore your phone. so it's up to you. i've had a few have success with my system restore method. one failure. i don't see it bricking the device in any way. it's as safe as it gets
ok
ok, I've done what you've written in your website
it now says:
"Faild to boot 4
Starting RSD mode "

glad to hear it's working! i may just remove the system restore. since half the users are getting failed to boot errors.
I had that same problem u have to flash the Electirify spf file and it will reconize your device as Electirify but them u have to flash the sprint radios to make sure u keep it sprint then flash the stock photon rom and it should work just as new thats how i was able to fix mine when failed to boot 4 showed up just make sure u have some battery power left if not ur kinda screwed because the phone wont charge when its like that

you don't need a battery even. you can flash the phone without a battery i've done it. works just fine oddly enough! just need that handy power connector!
