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.

Go to the dev section or check my sig
To Other MoPho Users:
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?
Fanboy, PM me with how you managed to get rid of the electrify sbf. I am stuck in the same predicament with .235.
As for Lokifish, I thank you many times over for putting the files together.

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.

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.

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

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.

Yes, I did and it fixed it within a couple seconds.
out of curiousity i've gotten the 198 7 installed on my phone and lose the root like it says but i also lose my unlock and when i do it thru rsd with derplunk it takes me back to 154 any suggestions.....
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.

now just a clarification but is it possible to, without Motorola files, to unlock the boot loader our selves? Is there any coding work to unlock this boot loader on our own?

You have to flash something to gain the abilty to unlock the bootloader thru fastboot.

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

We are attempting to unlock the bootloader of a device on factory stock 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US and need some help..
The sbf in this link is dead [UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER] released!!! 8/14/11{WILL KILL 4G}
Tried this guide: how to have unlocked fastboot without flashing. File flashes ok but "unlocked" does not display on top of the screen. Also attemped "fastboot oem unlock" but get error "infooem unlock is not implemented"
Any input on how to successfully get this device's bootloader unlocked would be very much appreciated!

After step 1 in the thread we usually get an error in RSD but we disregard it as instructed, finish the steps and it's successful every time.
after this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105017 i used one of the sbf in this sites http://www.das8nt.com/sbffiles.html
and flash it with RSD now i am trying agin to use fastboot and flash once more cwn and i get this message 'error cannot load recovery.img'
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.

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.
