Is your phone in fastboot mode?
Do you have Android SDK installed with required packages?

[Unlocked Only][Recovery] ROMRacer's Custom CWM-based Recovery 4.0.1.4

With a little modding, I was able to get ROMRacer's Atrix recovery console working on the Photon, I PM'd him letting him know the change that needs to be made for it to work, so if he post a thread over here, I will close this one.
So for the time being, here's a true CWM recovery console for the Photon.
I chose the blue version for this but I imagine that if ROMRacer makes a thread, he will post the other colors also.
And as the title states, THIS IS ONLY FOR UNLOCKED PHONES
Install instructions
Extract the zip, put the recovery.img in the same directory as adb and get the phone into fastboot mode the same way you did to unlock it
And type this
Code:
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Do I put this file in the tools folder or just the adb folder?

depending on your setup it would go in the same directory as fastboot
How do you know if you're unlocked or not?

when I type su I get the $ sign and a msg. to allow permissions then a msg. saying terminal emulator has been granted superuser permissions. I have the bootstrap recovery installed and created a backup already...I'm pretty sure I'm unlocked. I just cant get this recovery to install for some reason...UGH!!!!
Being rooted and being unlockes are 2 different things

Then your ADB driver is not installed correctly. There may be other causes...
Suggest you try the files from this - they work!

wait..
where do you write that command? you just open cmd from start, or from folder where you keep fasboot(by holding shift and rightclick on mouse)?
if you open cmd from start, do you navigate it to folder where you have fastboot.exe?

[Q] [Q/HELP!] Best Buy Flyer Bricked...

So I soft-bricked my tablet trying to downgrade the hboot to 1.0...03. It is not recognized as an adb device. All drivers are correctly installed, Everything is in line, but I still cannot get it to do anything. Hboot says relocked with a security warning, and even trying to run the RUU through a .zip file is not working. I'm hopelessly lost... Battery is charged up fine too. Help me, please.
Shameful self bump...
Where are you trying to use adb meaning what state is your flyer? If in hboot then adb would not recognize it, go into fastboot and use fastboot commands

That's the thing. Adb does not see it.

Can you access the bootloader?
P.S. ADB commands work only when the OS is booted up, otherwise - you need Fastboot commands
Yes. But fastboot commands weren't working either.

Just a reminder: to use fastboot, you must select "FASTBOOT" option in the bootloader, and you'll see "FASTBOOT USB" in the bootloader.
Try to redownload adb/fastboot utilities
I'll try.. but I've done this already.

Edit: I got it fixed. Stupid n00b mistake the entire time, Fatality, thank you for helping kick me in the right direction.

Look for in the forum thread for your device

Fastboot !!!!!

I'm trying to read device id with a "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" command to unlock bootloader, but nothing. I followed all the instructions with installing adb drivers, android sdk and motorola drivers,and I just can't get it working. Did everything it said on motorola site.

Are the drivers installed correctly?
Does the device gets recognized when you type fastboot devices?
