I just flash from RSD lite... and it's fail.... (maybe because of low battery power)
I already recharge the battery full using external charger...
But now... mu photon Bricked.. I can't start the RSD mode (Power + Vol Down)
is there still any chance for it?
Thanks b4
Have you tried power + up? Does it give you any options when trying it? And are you in a boot loop or stuck at dual core screen?

Can you describe what the phone does? Does it turn on?
Sent from my Photon
I believe, the RSD mode is [Power+Vol Up].
In any case, take out your battery and reinsert it.
Press [Power+Vol Up] as soon as you insert the battery.
Report back on what happens.

Try this step.
1. Connect your photon and PC/Laptop.
2. Press RSD protocol (volume up + power)
See if this work.
Was i has same problem, failed when flashing using rsdlite (when entering bp passthough), when try to enter rsd protocol, its just stuck on moto logo. But when i try to connect it with pc/laptop and try again entering rsd protocol, its work.

Hello all,
I know this is likely in the wrong place, but I can't post in the dev forum. I was attempting to SBF my phone to 2.3.4 to update to 2.3.5. I have used the exact same RSD and SBF file on this computer. Last time my battery died while SBFing and it became a big hassle. Regardless, I was able to finally get it done. I did it today and it failed at 9% and switched to BP Passthrough. I pulled the battery and tried to get it back in to RSD and try a different usb port. It will not bring up the fastboot/RSD menu. I hold down DN VOL and power and it just shows the Moto logo and then after maybe 20 seconds then flashes failed to boot4 and screen goes blank very quickly. I can not get it in to RSD to try again. My PC is Win7 x64, RSD 5.4.4, VRZ-MB870_4.5.1A-DTN-150-30_1FF_01.sbf.
Any suggestions?
I just seen yesterday someone posted a way to sbf with a cd instead of rsd lite. Maybe something you can try. Look here.

Ok thanks I'll look into that. any idea where you saw it?
Try holding power and volume up
That is the direct way to get into rsd mode
I don't know why every one good through the hassle of power volume down and going through the choices when power and volume up starts rsd mode without having to press anything else

Good point Ash that is how i get to it volume up and power. I posted the link back in my first post. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
So will it say RSD or anything or will it just go into it without saying anything?

Phone off, volume up and power hold until you see rsd. Should say it. Once you see it you are good to go.

Did that and it never says RSD. just shows the logo. I had 95% bat when I started and I tried to RSD once. So that should not have drained it that much should it?
Worth a shot to try a full battery
Know anyone with an x,atrix,x2,etc...I or a desktop charger?
As I was on the phone with VZW it started and went to FTB4 and then said started RSD. So now it is taking the update so far from a different USB Port
have you tried opening rsd and hooking your phone up to it to see if it auto magically recognizes the device....lol might get lucky.
Either that or try the other method that has shown up recently
Well I got it to take the SBF, but it bootloops as expected and it wont let me boot into stock recovery to clear the cache. Should I reflash?

Just let it loop for a while
---------- Post added at 06:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 PM ----------
And after like 15-20 mins pull battery and try to boot stock recovery
I don't know why but it now goes to Stock recovery and I'm going to delete cache and data about 50 times and hopefully it will work.
Thanks for all the suggestions and help.
Mods can you please erase this thread.
Somehow reflashing seemed to work. Thanks.
If this helps.
Charge the battery completely. Completely being part of the key.
Insert battery and boot holding power button and vol up key at the same time.
DO NOT release the keys if it does not attempt to boot into RSL quick mode. if the logo appears continue holding the keys till it loops like ash said, except continue to hold the keys thru at least two full boot loops.
On the last loop release the keys and depress the power button while removing the battery. Once the battery is out release the power key. It sounds crazy but it definately worked. Now reinsert the battery and but do not power on. Open and launc RSD on your pc. Connect cable. The connection of the cable will sometimes activate RSD. Power on phone using the quick RSD commands (Hold power button and vol up key.) And Walla!
I hope this helps. I had another person follow this exact same instructions and it worked for them as well.
When flashing fails in the middle of flashing due to power loss: Boot is whacked or corrupted. This usually works.

I flash 198_7 because mine 198_6.
Trying pull and put battery, at first no hope.
Then i try connect to my PC, try to enter RSD protocol, and yes, it can enter RSD protocol again. I think it failed when on BP Passtrought because cannot detect driver.
Second try to flash it, it work.
Thanks for help.
I'm stuck.
I cant get into RSD mode cause when I hold vol up it just goes into fastboot.
IF I vol down it just blinks and turns off...
What are my options.
Pull the battery then try to boot it normally, after a minute or so it goes into rsd mode

Try pulling the battery and put it back in with the phone off plug in your wall charger and see if your recovery comes up

U can't sbf if u can't start rsd protocol
my bad
wow do we have a real one?
if I remember well it would always say failed to boot 2 and rsd would be available .
Is this a Dx2?
Apparently he is getting a failed to boot 1 ..I think I remember seeing this before.
It might be in one of the.older sbf tutorial threads...myabe the one by dag425.
It would be helpful (maybe) to know what was being done that caused this to happen.
Hopefully he wasn't messing with bootloader partitions and signatures or something. I think that would he just about the only thing that could hard brick us.

If u hold power and volume up it takes u directly into "starting RSD protocol "
it is the method I have ALWAYS used when flashing sbf
I am stuck here too! I only have two options:
1: fastboot
or
2: nvflash
I have no idea what the hell eather one does so any little help is greatly appreciated for this noob. Thanks in advance...
So I take it yours says "failed to boot 1" also?
Is this Dx2 or mx2?
And you are familiar w/ booting menu: pwr on wait 1/2 (or less) sec then vol down and keep selecting w/ vol dn then vol up to select . Rsd is last.
IDNK WHAT BUT A REAL BRICK!

hey guys i think i flashed a bad sbf file and now i cant boot the phone nor boot into rsd mode to flash different sbf file ....is there any way i can fix my phone ?
thanks
What happens when you boot the phone? Have you tried booting to fastboot directly? Try booting holding power and vol+, also try booting holding power and vol-
need input....ie more info about your problem. what did you try to flash? did it error out during the flash? did you pull the cable early? details sir....details
ok after pulling the battery so many times i was able to boot the phone but after it booted up my phone says us cellular so i gues the sbf i flashed was for us cellular but the thing is i still cant boot into rsd mode to flash a different sbf and i dont have root

You must have flashed an electrify sbf.. What happens when you boot the phone holding Power and Vol- or Power and Vol+ ?
ok ...power plus vol up did take me to rsd and i tried to flash sprint sbf and it said 100 % excuted then it said failed .
power plus vol down took me to fast boot

Which SBF did you try to flash? If you didn't try the 154_5 SBf that is the one I would recommend flashing. When flashing leave the phone plugged in (obviously) even after it says 100%. You may even get a message in RSD lite that says to power the phone manually. At this point (with the phone still plugged in) press and hold the power button for a few seconds (10 - 15 should suffice) and let the phone boot while still plugged in.
As a best practice, when using RSD lite I always leave the phone plugged in and RSD lite running until I have fully booted the photon successfully.
thats the one i tried to flash and i didnt unplugg the phone but it said failed ....i read somewhere that if u flash us cellular sbf u r stuck with it is that true ?
is there a way to root and install a sprint backup ?

I've not SBF'ed a US Cellular rom. Not sure if it would work but you could try unlocking the bootloader and then flashing a custom recovery and then try flashing a sprint rom through recovery. No guarantees that this will work though.
When I click power + volume keys (-, +, and both) nothing happens, 10 seconds later motorola logo appears for 2 seconds and then shuts down again.
Can you give more info?
1. Is your battery charged
2. Did you tried to flash stock roms with RSD, if you did, tell which xml you tried to install.

1. Was charged 80-90% when it bricked. I cant see how many battery is remaining but if i see the moto logo, something have to have.
2. I need the bootloader before trying that. The RSD doesn't detect my phone.
Hi all,
I have Motorola XT621 Primus, after some playings with it and trying to root and add RTL patching i got a brick.
Now the status is that i have fastboot mode working but bootloader is locked, no recovery working and no ADB working, no boot too.
I tryed many ways to flash or unlock bootloader but nothing works. Any commands like fstboot oem got output like (...)
Is there any way to unlock bootloader via fastboot and flash new rom or it completely bricked?
Thanks!

Ok first hold the two volume buttons then push and release the power button. Then click on bp tools and see if the logo comes and than goes to the battery thing. Or try to just go into the same place and say normal boot. If all else fails do a fast boot. and use the droid razr root utility to restore back to stock. Let me know if any of this helps or you have questions.

Try this exactly to get into fastboot mode...
Power off phone
Press and hold volume down and power button
When the screen flickers release only the power button.
If you can get into fastboot you can use Matt's DROID utility to flash OEM Jellybean Rom onto it in an attempt to resurrect.

No need, i had the warranty and they fixed it, also changed battery and the cover for the MS/SIM. I was lucky.
