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

Yes, while I understand there have been many threads in regards to RSD Lite not recognizing phones, hear me out as none of them have been helpful to me. I recently got into the world of rooting and flashing roms, so like a fool yesterday I flashed Eclipse v.1 over 2.3.3. Ever since I have been experience the wifi connectivity issue, so reasonably I tried to use RSD lite to get the 2.3.4 sbf onto my X2. However, using RSD 4.5.3 I kept getting a status message along the lines of "chipset type 53 is not supported." Trying it again also with the 2.3.3 sbf, I tried using RSD v.4.9 and 5.3.1, however neither would recognize my phone. Now I am beginning to encounter other issues with Eclipse (my own fault) and I would greatly appreciate any input. All drivers are up to date for anyone who was going to throw that out again.
Be sure the machine you are running rsd on has plenty of disk space.
I got wierd errors a while back when i was running next to full on the HD RSD makes a temporary file before it flashes.

I have more than enough HD space. When running 4.5.3 it has the chipset error as the device status when paired with any sbf.
Are you running RSD as administrator? Maybe that could be a problem but i dont know.
If you are rooted and have installed system recovery try and flash the 2.3.4 zip aligned update in recovery and see if that works

Just tried both ways in 4.9, neither were successful
It might be quicker if you enumerated, step-by-step, how you last sbf'ed ... that way, the more experienced amongst us can determine where you went wrong.
Oh, and throw in details on your computer's OS, too ... I hear there have been some problems using RSD Lite with Windows 7.

I attempted to sbf based on the standard method from what I've seen in threads: run RSD (various versions were attempted), select the sbf, start the RSD protocol on my phone THEN plug it into the usb, and so on.

Signature verification sounds like the file corrupted. Try redownloading the sbf file through Firefox or chrome and unzip the file with 7zip.

I have tried both methods of recovery, bootstrap and stock as well as the power+ vol up method and the method of accessing the RSD protocol through the vol down boot method. I have also tried reinstalling drivers as well. I also don't believe time was an issue with RSDlite as I gave each version a good 20 minutes to try to recognize my phone (excluding 4.5).

The versions of RSD you are using are older, I've been using 5.5 without any issues. If the phone is not being recognized it could be a driver issue on your windows machine. My older computer cannot recognize my phone i think the USB is 1.0.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

The same thing just happened to me. Strange. Thanks for giving me hope and to wait it out.
So I had ota ics and using safestrap to run aokp jb 4.2.1. I was messing around in 4636 hidden menu and activated usa band. Searching for a fix didn't help so I figured I could just use rsd lite and re-flash ics. I had long since the first time deleted all the files so I got the ones from sbf droid developers.org. The first I tried had 11 points and failed at 1/11 with a cdt.bin error. Then I got another which ran till 6/xx and then return the same error. The xx is because I didn't notice how many points it had to run through.
Do I have any options?
In rsd lite the device properties are all blank and they have been for both attempts.
Thanks

That error means you tried to flash an sbf with a lower version than you had on your device.
Make sure the sbf you are using is exactly the same you had running and for the same region.

Ok, old thread but mine, so I guess I can revive
I can't seem to get a hold on the same ota that I had. Anyone here who knows where to get it?
Thanks

OTA's only work once if phone is stock.
Android version can't be downgraded.
What are you trying to do?
As I said in OP, I was messing with stuff I didn't understand. I got the factory cable and also one of the old sbf files. I have checked that the one I have is for UMTS but it is still in CDMA mode. It just will not switch bad to UMTS mode.. I was using the wrong android version when I did this the first time but it is now flashed and working. Only problem is the radio thinks it is CDMA..

Factory cable for power. The phone had been unpowered for a year.
Term or not, I was just referring to the file extension. All these oem abbreviations, meh. I wouldn't even know if it was one or the other. It was listed as a sbf, so that's what I called it
But thanks replying. The is working now. I guess it must have been the right radio after all. Thanks anyway
