Photon Recovery missing??!! - Motorola Photon 4G

Came from MIUI v4 and did a factory reset, then flashed 154_5, then 198_7 and OCR-root successfully. Then failed to get unlocked!
Realized I don't have Android Recovery anymore, just a yellow triangle when Vol-Dn+Pwr and selecting Recovery. Does stock recovery get re-installed when going back to stock with 154_5 sbf?
I've done this whole procedure a few times but am by no means an expert. How can I get stock recovery back functional?
THANKS for any help!!

its vol dn and vol up. no need to press power btn

Once on the screen with the yellow triangle push vol up and down for options.

Ok, sorry. I have done that. Used that small menu to wipe system and cache. That allowed me to reboot the phone. However, I still don't have stock recovery. Unless that is stock recovery and only a custom recovery provides more options. Strange that it would give the error message though ....
Do you know?

And I thought it something to do with me not getting root. I went back from MIUI v4 by factory reset, 154_5, 198_7, rooted successfully with OCR, flashed derpunlock.sbf, but moto-fastboot oem unlock just returned <searching device>.
Flashed derpunlock.sbf again, checked drivers, no success.
Do you know what it could be. I'm ready to start over!

no need to OEM unlock again. you only need to OEM unlock once after that just flash deprunlock and youll be unlocked.

Cool, didn't realize that. I thought factory reset and flashing 154_4 fully returns the phone to stock. So I take it from here I can just move on with installing CWM and then flashing MIUI and other Roms, right?!

Yes as long as when you power on your phone on the m logo screen it should say unlocked right?

[Q] Need some help. Yes i'm a noob. But i've been doing homework

Atrix 2.3.4 - 4.5.91
First off, I've done like 10 hours of researching today so please bare with me.
I thought I had unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone in the past. I'm able to tether so that was a sign I did it.
Today I attempted to install romracer cwm based recovery with rom manager. When i tried to install Rom from the sd. it restarted and said "failed to boot 2" after doing some research it said it was possible my bootloader was not unlocked. Now I think i did the right steps back when.
How do I find out for sure if my boot loader is unlocked.
I'm doing all this because Im attempting to get my phone back to stock as can be. I want to get it back to warranty for the following reasons
1) my video play back is all messed up on my recorder. (will a sbf fix this)?
2) when i insert a external sd card to my atrix, my screen sometimes turns black when it wants to).
So this is where i'm stuck. I read the newbie threads. Thanks for all the info. But man this "failed to boot 2" scared me. Luckily it didn't brick my phone. Took out battery and it started back up.
Help please
If your unlocked it will say unlocked in red letters at top of screen when turned on. If you aren't unlocked its possible you have just rooted your phone I think not positive that a factory reset would unroot your phone. Just go into recovery hold volume down when turning it on cycle down with volume down and choose with volume up in recovery both volume rockers are used to navigate and power is choose.

So i did a factory reset. I guess there was more steps i need to take when I saw the android logo and "!". is my phone unrooted thanks for anyone who can help. As mentioned before. I don't think my phone was ever unlocked because I didn't see it when I started up my phone.

Use pudding thread to unlock your bootloader, install Rom Racers CWM via fastboot after you are unlocked. If you want to make sure you are rooted after that, use the Moto root, stuck at top of the General section.

You can flash to stock if your bootloader is locked. I did it and worked like a charm.

Royally screwed up... Electrify

Ok, so I got my Electrify a few days ago, rooted it and everything went fine. Worked for about a day, but then the battery died. I charged it, but now it sticks on the Dual Core boot logo, wont boot at all. I'm terrified.
Can anyone help?
I've tried running Android Recovery (I get "Failed to boot 2")
I've tried messing around in FastBoot and with RDB, but I'm getting nowhere.
I'm desperate, and as the Electrify is new, I'm not having any luck finding in-depth help.
Anyone? You may email me if you'd rather communicate that way.

(I'm really sorry if this is the wrong place to post, I couldn't find an Electrify forum.)

I would try this first, it couldn't hurt.
Perform a factory reset using external keys
Note: It is highly recommended you use the above factory reset using the settings. If you are unable to navigate through the menu to perform a factory data reset, you can follow the steps outlined below:
Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button
Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
Press both Vol up and Vol down key simultaneously. A menu will come up
Tap on Vol down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted, and tap Power key. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap on Vol down key until coming to Yes and tap Power key
After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap Power key
Phone will reboot to initial setup screen.
Hope this helps.
If you didnt put the 2.3.5 update on the phone (and I am assuming you didnt), then grab the Electrify SBF here and follow the instructions.
If you DID put 2.3.5 on the phone I have the SBF for that also, PM me for the link..
be aware 2.3.5 will lock your bootloader and there is no way to unlock at this time.
Thanks everyone. Got it fixed.
How did you get it fixed. I have the same problem... "Failed to boot 2" in recovery? need help. Photon on 2.3.5.... 254_3

umm... there's no SBF available for 2.3.5 users and you CANNOT use the 2.3.4 SBFs. i assume you don't have an unlocked bootloader and upgraded to 2.3.5 using an unlocked method.
give this a try... http://www.motosunfire.com/system/
it worked for another guy. so it should for you given it's only your system that's messed up. also if this doesn't work do a factory reset from the recovery if you can get into it. then try again.
Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Photon won't relock.... Failed boot 1 error

current condition: 2.3.4 stock/unlocked
I'm trying to relock my photon, I tried the quick method by factory reset then flashing back stock recovery, then rsd the nopuddingforyou.sbf file. End result is *failed to boot 1* error.
And I can't pull up recovery via pwr+dwn...screen goes blank with that.
The only way back to booting up android is flashing *derpunLock.sbf* and it still saying unlock at top of screen.
I tried rsd'ing the full 198-7.sbf file.
It completes, reboots phone and same error *failed to boot 1*
Again, only way back to booting android is..
Flash with rsd, the derpunlock.sbf file
Which leaves me with a fresh install and an unlock bootloader.
I was using the root-unlock-relock "kit" lokifish has on his martian imporrium site (sorry if I missed spelled it.
Any suggestions, thanks id appreciated

Can you get fastboot running to reflash CWM recovery? If so, do it, then wipe data/factory reset in CWM, reboot into RSD mode, then flash 198_6 sbf? Try it! Be sure to charge the phone all the way.

You will relock once you wipe and then SBF...but you need to get into fastboot first...so turn off the phone, and then press pwr+vol down...it should say Unlocked fastboot..then hook it up to the computer...reflash CWM if you can..
flash the CWM recovery.img like before and then cmd: fastboot reboot
Reboot the phone into RSD mode..and flash the SBF...

No, I cannot flash full sbf normally, I must hack it, after rsd creating image, right before flashing (when the phone reboots), with cg3 and cg42 from derpunlock.sbf, if I remember it right. .
Rsd temp dir is somewhere in user\appdata folder.

you can try restoring your system because that's all that's messed up. i've had a couple people try my system restore method and it worked. one has reported a failed to boot 4... you can alternatively try the sbf restore. both are shown on my site here http://www.motosunfire.com/system/ be sure to restore your backup (which you should have one) if you get it booted from the system restore.
thanks for replying

it shouldn't hurt because it's only restoring the system files. you can either do that or flash the Electrify SBF, but then you need to do a bunch of other steps to restore your phone. so it's up to you. i've had a few have success with my system restore method. one failure. i don't see it bricking the device in any way. it's as safe as it gets
ok
ok, I've done what you've written in your website
it now says:
