If your unlocked, just boot up in cwm, wipe cache and dalvik then install your rom again.
If on stock rom, an sbf would take you to stock and lock you again. Might as well install mofs rom.

if you're unlocked with 2.3.5 you cannot sbf unless you of course want a perma locked bootloader.
if you're bootlooping use the recovery to restore...... that's what it's there for......

Thank you for hijacking my thread. And Mof can be used on both - Although might be a little buggy with us cell.
And thank you guys up top for answering my question, I was a little confused, as before this electrify I had a LOCKED electrify and was used to SBFing twice a day-_-

I've seen a few people with the Electrify (US Cellular version of Photon 4G) say they have "bootstrap" as an alternative to an unlocked bootloader (which we absolutely cannot get at this point). I've seen the bootstrap topic for Photon, but I asked a week or two ago if it worked for Electrify, and nobody knew if it did. So I thought I'd toss out a more general request. So, does anybody know how to get bootstrap on the Electrify?

You cannot install ANY AOSP ROMs (CM7, CM9, MIUI, Paranoid, etc) on a locked phone. The results will be very nasty. You are limited to LOCKED ROMs like Rocko and Uninversal.

And why doesn't anyone with Electrify try to pull updater-binary from rocko zip and push in my zip, delete the lines for flashing kernel from updater-script in my zip and delete boot.img from my zip and try to flash with bootstrap? Maybe this won't work, but I don't see, why not. And if you know, how to sbf to stock, then there's nothing to loose and you'll have more options for available ROMs. ;-)

You have to download it to computer. Try some different computer with different internet connection. You have to use RSD lite, there's no workaround.
tried to. using mcdonalds wifi and tethering from phone. wont download for me

Need to use the boot strap recovery, MOTODX_Bootstrap_Signed.apk. Its based off Clockwork. Make sure you only try to flash locked roms though. If you try and flash anything not supported your more than likely going to be on my boat... Softbricked. I was a flashaholic with my Evo, now im a bricked bum looking for light...
Look in Lokifish Mars Sticky on all thing Mopho. It has links to everything you will need in it.

I'm in the same boat. I just got a used Photon and it already had the 2.3.5 (45.4.13 254_13) ROM on it. I got it rooted successfully at least, but get the error when trying to install the DERPUNLOCK.SFB file.
Any solutions out there yet? Can the unit be SBF-ed back to 198_7 and then the bootloader unlocked?
(I'm sorry if this is a redundant question, but I haven't found a clear answer and have searched the forums extensively!)
THANKS!

Your only real option is mof2.3.5 unless you want to run a rom that is not supported anymore ie imperium, rocko, skinny. Mofs rom is damn good though. Give it a shot and see what you think.
If your on 2.3.4 go with mofo2.3.5ish if your on 2.3.5, don't flash any roms locked or unlocked. Just be happy your phone works!
The reason being is because will the roms are based on 2.3.4 and since 2.3.5 locked bootloader, anything 2.3.4 based will cause you to soft brick, with no sprint sbf to fall back on. Peetr and mo are actively working on a working sbf for those who are on USC electrify sbf.

Any progress on unlocking the bootloader on the OTA 253_13 build?
Still curious about being able to sbf downgrade to 254_7...
And info GREATLY appreciated.
Hi,
I recently stucked at the Motorola Startup logo. So I reflashed the full sbf for 2.5.4_13 and installed the stock rom as per the peetr_ 's guide.
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.
2) Download bootstrap from DroidX2 forum, and get it working. Of course you need to root your photon first.
3) Flash this ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30332325) from bootstrap. Please follow the instructions for this ROM carefully, you don't wanna flash the SBF again.
4) Flash 254_13 modules (http://d-h.st/aAi) with bootstrap. you need them.
5) Flash 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf (http://d-h.st/TeB) with RSD Lite.
6) Flash 254_12 libmoto_ril.so (http://d-h.st/BmX) with bootstrap. You don't need to flash the radio SBF.
4) and 6) is not needed, if you install rom 3)

I have just followed the Steps 1,2,and 3 and my phone is working fine. Do I need to go for Step 5. Is it mandatory. My GSM radios are working fine, except I think WiFi and 4G stopped working.
Yes you need the boot image for wifi and 4g to work properly.

1st if you haven't tried it yet go to recovery and do a wipe and reset.
If that don't work...
Find the Electrify 2.3.5 USC_19 sbf file you can install to get back up and running. But its not sprint. You have to install a couple of other files to get the sprint radio and wi-fi to work. It's all here, google is your friend.

After flashing this, you need to flash locked custom rom, "2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image" and some sv2 sbf radio, for working Sprint services, including 4G.

Did you make a nandroid back up? Before you flashed, that would be the easy way. Try a system restore in Stock recovery.
Check the stickies in dev section. Don't think there's an official 2.3.5 sbf.
