http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/be...bell-canada-sbf-found-available-download.html
should i flash it using rsd lite. please reply.
You need an unlocked bootloader for a custom recovery. NEVER ever try to flash a custom ROM and Recovery with a locked bootloader. Since your phone can't boot up, and you don't have an unlocked bootloader, just try flashing the SBF. I don't think you have a second option.
Wrong section by the way.

3) Flash Recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 OR TWRP ...

I have a phone on 4.1.57 running GreyBlur. The Android Version is 2.2.1
I haven't accepted any OTA updates, but I recently found out that Gingerbread is out.
What is the best way to go on about rooting the phone after the gingerbread update? Flash back to stock, then update, then root? If someone could point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated.
thank you.

Is RSD and CWM the same thing? I don't understand what these two are.
If I'm on 2.2.2, stock w/ root and side-loading enabled, do I skip #1?
why isn't pudding used in any of this?
yes skip #1
RSD is a flashing tool...
CWM is used for flashing too but it's much safer then RSD...
in order to unlock your phone's bootloader u have to do one step using RSD here is a pretty good video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H02N4p9vEg0 on how to unlock ur bootloader...
on my previous post...2nd link is referring to pudding is it not?

1) I'm already rooted.
2) You say to stay away from RSD but to unlock the bootloader I need to use it correct?
3) I already have Tenfar's CWM.
4) Just choose a ROM that's updated with Gingerbread and Flash?
Thanks for your help

there are 2 versions of cwm. one for locked and one for unlocked. after you unlock you have to fastboot flash recovery to get the good CWM then you can flash roms properly.
RSD the 1.83 pudding
Fastboot oem unlock to unlock bootloader
fastboot flash recovery to get the unlocked CWM
CWM recovery to install roms
As long as you have not OTA to gingerbread then RSD is ok but not recommended. If youhave the OTA gingerbread then rsd will hard brick your device if you try to go back to an older build.

You need to unlock your bootloader..... rooting is not the same as unlocking your bootloader.
Start with the stickied post in the dev forums and read up
if you're on 2.3.4, i'd say the safest way to unlock your bootloader is by running this script right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
you're going to get a soft-hard brick, but don't panic. just start up in fastboot and follow the script's instructions.
after that, install CWM recovery and flash to a custom ROM, and enjoy how awesome your phone just became!

i got it figured out after some hair pulling...lol
So I just got the rogers variant(Canada gsm) of this after upgrading from my Sony Ericsson Xperia arc and I have some questions:
1. Is the boot loader unlocked/can I use fastboot?
2. If so are their any coustom kernels available for this phone with recovery?
3. If I can't use fastboot can I still install CMW and use it to flash roms on the stock kernel?
4. Is their an official ICS that will be realised by Motorola and if so how long is this going H1N1 g to take?
5. Is their any development for roms such as CM7 and CM9?
Thanks

1.the bootloader is locked and you can use the fastboot files to rsd back to stock.
2. not sure but dont think there is any kernels.
3. bootstrap and safestrap are your friends just like cmw.
4. motorola release ha. try one of many custom ics rom.
With my arc I was not able to flash with the bootloader locked. So Motorola does not have the same restriction even though the boot loader is locked?
is their a tutorial were i can learn more on how to flash my moto phone?

You need rsd lite in your pc & fastboot files to flash stock files

So first thing I did was rooted the Photon 4g with torpedo and it worked.
Second I installed bootstrap recovery and made sure it worked, it did.
Third installed the 198_7 libmoto_ril.so (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798210) with bootstrap recovery then I installed the SBF that went along with it (in RSD lite of course). Everything was working like normal.
Then I tried to execute the Unlocked bootloader with microboot and TWRP 2.2 recovery sbf and it gave me an error saying "failed flashing process. error processing flash file"
So instead I just used the unlocked bootloader sbf and it worked fine.
Now I'm not sure what to do next as bootstrap recovery no longer works (it just reboots back to my lock screen) and I want to get a custom rom on it (ICS) and make sure that it's unlocked... Any help?
Also info:
Code:
system version 45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US
Model Number MB855
Android version 2.3.4
Baseband version N_01.28.07R
Webtop version WT-1.2.0-160
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #2
Build number 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6
Hmm, when did you download the sbf with twrp? I did a mistake, when I made that sbf for the first time. Try to download it again.
You don't need bootstrap recovery, if you want to be unlocked.
After unlocking, you can install the recovery in fastboot, if you keep having problems with that sbf.
I did it about an hour before I made the post, so I don't think I used the old one.
And how would I go about installing recovery in fastboot? I can't seem to figure this out.
Also is there some way I can check if I'm unlocked besides just putting a SIM card in it?
Thanks in advance!
I just downloaded the sbf with twrp and flashed properly.
Try to download it again and flash it from download folder.
Seems to have worked after redownloading. Thanks a lot :good:

So let's get on with the story
I own a moto e 2 4g variant. I unlocked the bootloader of the device,installed a custom recovery and flashed a custom ROM. Everything went well;I was trying a new ROM almost everyday(5.1.1 and 6.0.1) until one day when I decided to go back to stock ROM.I downloaded the official 6.0 stock ROM,installed it and started the device.The phone booted,went straight to recovery and showed erasing.The problem starts here.It showing eraseing and rebooted after some time and I thought that it's going to boot up into stock 6.0.But I was wrong.The phone booted and again did the same thing and this went on in a loop.So I decided to try it once more.This time I did two more things prior to installing the ROM;
Fastboot erase all
Fastboot erase system - w
Till then in bootloader it showed official in software status.But after those two erase commands it started showing modified.
Even then the result was the same I.e.showing erasing and rebooting.So I thought that I will go back to custom ROM for the time being.all went well,phone booted up but there was no signal.The phone was not accepting any Sims. I went to bootloader and immediately found out the cause.It was showing not found under baseband.So I seperately flashed a modem but to no luck.As of now I have tried all stock rims available(5.0.2,5.1.1,6.0) but the device is not booting up.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
This happened to me with CM13, the same thing happened with the baseband number, and I couldn't even enter in the recovery, so I had to manually flash the Stock ROM via adb. It happened to me again when I tried to root my phone even with the systemless root, the phone just doesn't boot up, I'd recommend you to flash the basebands found in the forums, if that doesn't fix it, you'll have to manually flash the stock rom via adb or you can use the easy tool, it's fairly simple if you follow the steps, I'll leave the links bellow.

Used the flashing tool.But in every mode of flashing,the bootloader flashing and boot.img flashing is showing some error.But rest all are flashing succesfully.Still in bootloader it is showing baseband not found.And when I boot the device,the bootloader screen comes up,followed by a black screen and the cycle repeats.Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:My moto e 2015 is a LTE RETASIA(Indian) model.In the baseband link you provided,XT1521 RETASIA version's baseband is not available.
