Hi,
Motorola site and sprint site says that new version is there:
4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13
But where to get it ? I am currently using 197.
Thanks.
It's an OTA, and I believe you have to be on 196 or it won't work.

What he said. Just remember, after applying that the bootloader will be perma locked.
Ok, my photon is 2.3.5 and after something a bit rash, the side effect is that it is Soft-Bricked. I tried to use RSD with the (198_6)-1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US file.
I guess that is going backwards which is not allowed. So what is the SBF file that I should use to get the phone out of boot loop? obviously it is brand new.
The error I got was: Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]hone did not re-enumerate after RAM-downloader was sent. (0x703E)
thanks.
What does it mean, that you're soft bricked?
Im guessing bootloop not bricked bricked.

Someone has tried to go backwards literally every day this week. We need a warning sticky. Or better yet, a scrolling marquee at the top of each forum in 72pt red font...
I think I wrote good enough warning in the sv2 thread... I don't know what more can I do. But still because of some people that cannot read, I am not going to abandon that USC sbf, because it's really good to have it. It helped many other people already.

Its only because most people don't understand what that thread is so they don't bother clicking on it. It is of great help though.
Glad somebody said something about it. I'm coming back to my Photon after spending 3 months with the GS2. I almost OTA'd... well mine kept failing cuz I still had root and something was preventing it, but I almost SBF'd to 196 and tried to OTA to this new one, but I'm glad I've done neither then. Guess I'll stick with 154 for a while.
@OP - better to stay on 197... do not update to 254_13..

Step by step 2.3.5 unbrick:
1)Flash this SBF (http://d-h.st/XGJ). Now you'll have stock 2.3.5 for Electrify. But you need Sprint services (I assume), so you don't stop here. -
Flashing ,Using RSD Lite with proper Motorola USB drivers installed.
2) Download bootstrap from DroidX2 forum, and get it working. Of course you need to root your photon first. Get if from below.
3) Flash this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=30332325) from bootstrap. Please follow the instructions for this ROM carefully, you don't wanna flash the SBF again.
4) Flash 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf (http://d-h.st/TeB) with RSD Lite.
Before you flash all this other stuff..... what did your phone say when you tried to boot it up??
Reason I am asking is because I recieved the "failed to boot 3" and then I ran the derpunlock.sbf and blam I had an unlocked Photon running 254_13. I was then able to put on a custom recovery and re-root the phone without any issues at all. Not saying this is a fix for yours, just letting you know what mine did.

Photon 4G rooted with the one-click method and boot loader is locked but unable to update to the recent release of the Motorola update.
Has anyone been able to get the update from Motorola after using the one-click update?
Have tried several times but unable to keep the file. Is there a download for the update that can be saved prior to the install?
look in the development section
Try unfreezing any stock apps, reboot, and try again.

Basically, use RSD to flash the SBF directly. You will lose root in the process, but you can run whatever rooting method you used again to get it back.
Hmmm... Mine upgraded just fine. I had origionally used the one click Root. Granted i lost root when I upgraded but that was just one more click after the upgrade.
Thank you for the website location.............I will try it.
BTW, what does SBF mean?

I was just told that Motorola has just fixed the issue so now everyone can update.
PLEASE TRY TO UPDATE AGAIN.
IF NOT PLEASE DO A FACTORY RESET THEN UPDATE TO THE LATEST VERSION.
Let me know your findings, then if that doesn't work do the sbf.

I had to SBF this way, but read the comment from user: "tbhausen".
He writes: Motorola has re-issued the 198_6 build to address this problem. Also, 198_7 is available in the MoPho dev subforum
-----
Try what I wrote in my last post, if that doesn't work, try the instructions in the above link, these are the same instructions I gave you earlier, just a more detailed version.
ok so this my make me sound like a noob but if i do a factory resett thru the phone will it remove my custom rom or should i do it thru cwm?
You aren't that that much of a noob, lol.
You will lose your Rom anyways, so after you SBF or Factory Reset, everything will be gone, and you will have to start all over again.
Yes, throught CWM.
By the way, even as a seasoned Senior Member, I still find myself asking noob questions on occasion.
So download the update put phone inti cwm and clear cache and data factory reset then let update go? Thinking out side the box
First you should do the update.
If it fails,
CWM factory reset.
If that fails, SBF then update.
Post your findings.
ok so i have a 2 day old atrix 4g...i rooted but didnt unlock the bootloader. I was trying the pudding method of flashing the sbf file with preroot but got a screen saying "Failed to boot 0x1000" but comes up with a menu saying no os detected, going to rsd mode and then gives a whole bunch of options including fastboot. is there anyway to fix this? like i said the device isnt unlocked, i have read people getting this menu and flashing cwm but dont you have to have an unlocked bootloader for this? please help! if i cant get it fixed im gonna try to bring it into best buy for a new one.

I was trying to load CM7 and now I'm tanked. My screen is stuck on the "Red M w/ Dual Core Technology" screen and at the top it says "FAILED TO BOOT 2" then "STARTING RSD MODE".
I pull the battery and put it back in but the same screen comes up and stays there.
Please, any/all advice would be greatly appreciated. I need this phone for work. (I know, I know. Why was I messing with my work phone. Please save that for later. I need this back running.)
Thanks.
Can you boot it into recovery or fastboot?
alright, there's a few things i need to know before we can get to helping you.
what type of Atrix do you have? (International, AT&T, Bell, etc. etc.)
is your device Unlocked? (did you apply the Pudding files and go through the whole 'fastboot oem unlock' process?)
do you have the most up to date Recovery installed? (either Romracer's recovery or CWM Recovery from Rom Manager)
answer those and get back to me asap please, don't want your battery to die before you have a chance to fix your device or you'll have to hack apart a USB cable.

IF YOU HAVE EVER DID THE OTA UPDATE TO GINGERBREAD THROUGH AT&T, OR YOUR DEVICE CAME WITH GINGERBREAD FROM AT&T, YOU CANNOT DOWNGRADE TO THE FROYO VERSION OR YOU WILL HARD BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
alright, now that we have that over with, grab the pudding file and flash it with RSD Lite. (boot into RSD mode on your phone, plug it into your computer, and flash away!)
after that, let me know how things go.

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?

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.

Ya, that is the file I flashed. When I unplugged the phone and pulled the battery rsd lite stopped. I waited and hooked all back up but nothing started and I can't get in rsd to try and flash anything else. Thanks for all the help everyone I just want my photon to boot again!

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!!!
