just get the sbf from the teamuscellular.com downloads page.
tried that before.... i tried downloading on laptop using mcdonalds wifi and on on my phone...... ended up having to drive 45 minutes away to a us cellular store to get then to reflash the sbf..... I want to get it myself so when I screw up for the 4th or 5th time.... can I just take the sbf off my phone?

Hi check here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080490
first post is link to the orange file, go to page 16 and download the t-moblie one, once done write both to your phone (orange 1st t-mobile 2nd)
hope this helps.
Thanks for such a quick response lonegunman.today I downloaded Rds lite and a sbf but when I tried to flash it said failed so I tried to use Motorola update put it in RSS mode and get same error when it'd 18% through update and comes up with sec_sector Febe 4e.4e .I wouldn't mind but myhome key button doesn't work and I have lost my Motorola Widgets.I'm worried my dock wont work with webtop anymore as I've lost the webdocking feature when I connect it.feel like slitting my wrists....lol only joking but its really getting me down now any other advice or is it an insurance job?! Lol

Have a read round as stuck on 18% update does ring a bell to me,can't help to much as working now but I am sure the phone can be sorted.

RSS lite still not working properly could it be because I'm using 64 bit windows 7 PC? Found now I have no folders on my internal memory!!! Help please someone
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Could be a 64 bit problem, i used a 32bit windows 7 and it worked ok but some have better luck on xp, have you tried recovery again?
Yes m8 I've tried everything. And now I've noticed all the folders on my internal memory have gone its empty. I don't know what to do for the best do you think if I act dumb and take it into T-Mobile shop they will be able to send it off to Motorola to wipe and reinstall original software as I said when I try to wipe it ..it says sub sector exception blah blah blah and stops the software update.I'm losing my marbles over this one I have read around and people are saying flash with orange uk then T-Mobile over top but I can't even get RdS to work lol

And when my phone is off and I put it on the dock to charge it turns the phone on and locks on the first boot screen when I lift it off green motor sign comes up and gingerblur kicks in .....strange!?

rsd lite works fine on 64, make sure you have the motorola 64 bit drivers installed: http://gitbrew.org/atrix/
rsd lite 5.0 definitely works but there is a v 5.3.1 that people are using but havnt tried myself.
download the t mobile sbf here:
http://www.fileserve.com/file/XNePGN2
this one is a service sbf so you should wipe your data using android recovery, or you can just flash the orange uk sbf which is a full one so you wont need to worry about wiping data:
http://www.fileserve.com/file/pqGGUst
read this guide to get an idea how to flash, read it carefully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
and i wouldnt bother with gingerblur etc as they are based on the at&t rom
also sending the phone back in its current state would be a very bad idea, it wouldnt take a genius to work out youve messed it up yourself so they probably wouldnt fix it for you
Try as the post above says,short of that if you near one of us maybe we could have a try.

Same problem with mine. I unrooted prior to this update. Tried 3 times on 4g, 3g and Wi-Fi. Any thoughts on this?

Intrepid, in your case, have you disabled any system apps? Re-enable them and try again.

No apps have been disabled. Its pretty much stock.

Try a factory reset first....That will make sure you're bone stock.
Thanks. Ill give that a shot in a few minutes.

Accepted the update this morning... went smoothly. Took forever to download though, think the servers were slammed with everybody doing the same thing. I am bone stock, for now.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
Having same issue. Stock nothing removed or froze. Was rooted with voodoo. Temp unroot didnt work. uninstalled all root apps unrooted with voodoo. Did factory reset downloaded again . Gets about half way through install.....Triangle and android on screen. Then it reboots and says update failed. Any ideas how to fix this?
Sent from my SCH-I800 using xda premium
same issue here, trying hard reboot!
will keep you posted
Just curious. If you are having this problem, did you perform your download over 4G or WiFi? I have no clue about what is causing this problem, but if you were on 4G perhaps you can try downloading again using WiFi (or visa-versa)? Yes, I know this shouldn't matter. But it is something to try.
I was downloading through wifi.

I just did a factory reset including internal media and the SD card, downloaded the update and tried to install but got the triangle and android on the screen about halfway through. Any thoughts?
Did a hard reset, wiped user data and that seemed to do it
If you are rooted, uninstall bootstrap or safestrap if you have those. For me safestrap was breaking the update. Thxkbai!
Just did another hard reset with no luck getting through the update. Willing to entertain any suggestions...
How far do you get?

This may seem like an odd suggestion, but if you keep failing to install the OTA pushed to your phone, try flashing the file from the root of your SD card.
About a quarter of the way through. It showed a triangle with the android on the screen when it stopped.
How can I fix my sprint motorola photon 4g phone after flashing the us cellular rom on it? HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Get replacement if you have tep or send to Motorola to get it fix. Use your common sense what you would say to describe the problem. Otherwise there is no fix.

If it's the 2.3.5 you're locked for good. Get a replacement. Not sure how so many people accidentally flash the electrify sbf's to the photon...

It's not so much different phone, problem is, that it's 2.3.5 and we don't have any 2.3.5 for photon for reflash.
It's not bricked, you just need to learn some steps to bring it back to sprint services.

Hi peetr! Thank you for your responce. My system build before flashing was (198_7)-1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf This is what I was on before I rsd'ed the 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.5-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_19.0-19-release-keys-signed-USC-US
I accidentally flashed my photon to the 2.3.5.usc electrify rom as well and would love a solution if there is one besides taking it back to sprint. I believe my warranty is voided now and being a full time student i can't afford to pay for them to fix my phone. any solutions ?
Talk to motorola, just tell them phone doesn't work. I got new refurbished phone from them.

Just ordered my DNA. Where I live the closest Verizon radio tower is about an hour round trip drive. It's the only way I can activate devices. On my X2 I could flash to my heart's content and it would keep my activation, however if I sbf'd (Motorola's version of ruu) I would lose activation. Luckily I could just bypass it, root and flash an activated backup, then continue to flash whatever.
So before I start going flash happy I was hoping someone can fill me in. Do you have to reactivate after flashing a ROM? If I restore an activated backup will it "reactivate"? Is there a way to bypass the activation prompt?
Thanks in advance.
