I will try to compile bootstrap flashable stock roms for all builds here. Should be used for returning to stock after flashing any other locked rom or if you made system changes with the rom tool box or any other similar app and are not sure how to return.
Standard If You Brick Your Phone I Am Not Responsible.
Instructions
- BACK UP YOUR DATA. THIS WILL WIPE THE DATA PARTITION!!!!!!!
- Place zip in internal storage
- Flash via Bootstrap
This does not contain any bootloaders, kernels or cdrom images just the system partition.
After Flashing if you want to remove root use the Photon-Torpedo Direct Method's root cleaner function.

Thank you very much. helped get my photon back to semi-official state. now i'm just waiting for a bootloader unlock.
What if I flash over 198_7?
I prefer only stock?

If you mean flashing this over 198_7 youll have to flash the modules from the 198_7 or you will have communication problems.

Thanks for this! I know my girl will very much appreciate it lol.
Before I had really got into flashing ROMs, I had her device and updated it to the first Moto Soak test. I had also made some minor tweaks/customizations that I wasn't able to reverse either lol. Now that this is available, I can FINALLY bring her completely back to stock 2.3.5!
When I get around to it, I'll let ya'll know how it turns out

If your on locked 198_7 your running the 2.3.4. kernel. the 2.3.4. bootloader locked will refuse any other kernel than the 2.3.4. unless your unlocked.

If your running 2.3.4. 198_7 or lower and flash this you may have connection problems.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is your MOF2.3.5ish build based on the 2.3.5. 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13 build? Does that mean I CAN flash this to get back to stock and not expect connection problems? I'm a rookie.

MOF 2.3.5.ish is based on 2.3.5. 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_12 but the modules have been replaced to work with a 2.3.4. kernel. So if you have a 2.3.4. kernel and flash this you will have connesction issues. I will be posting a stock 198_7 or 198_6 stock rom soon.
Ok, well I'm locked and came from 2.3.4 to MOF2.3.5ish, so I assume I still have the 2.3.4 kernel.

I've been away on holiday for a short time and boy....development has sure moved fast
quick few questions:
1. I'm on gingerblur, do I need to SBF back to stock to flash new custom ROMs?
2. Regarding above question....I need to unlock the bootloader first using the unlocking package on briefmobile or the pudding thread if I can find it right?
3. Which Gingerbread based ROM seems to run the most bug free/useable as a daily driver right now?
thanks!
I like KennethPenn's ROM. Running smoothly, so far. I haven't had it on long enough to make a definitive comment, but it is stable and fast.

its not rooted, you are going to have to flash back to 1.8.3, make sure you use the full build and not just the OTA update, unlock the bootloader, flash 2.3.4 then root. make sure you flash this build from ken theres reports of hard bricking if you use other sources.

Flash the one in the link above by Kennethpenn. The HKTW one will give you battery life issues and a non-working fingerprint scanner, while other sources could result in a hard brick if you ever want to downgrade. You'll need the unlocked bootloader version of CWM to flash it, not the existing charge mode one. You dont need root to install it, and I believe that particular version of 2.3.4 is already rooted. So,
unlock BL
flash cwm
flash Kennethpenn's 2.3.4.

It's ironic because the official motorola OTA is the one that is giving everyone trouble. That is this one.
If you want to get gingerbread safely you will first need to install 2.3.4 with an unlocked bootloader, follow these directions:

You can now flash roms if you performed that successfully, I would recommend this one since it is safe and great:

You can brick your device if you are not on 1.83 before you flash gingerbread on your atrix....at least that is what I understand from it. You can't go from 1.26 to gingerbread, you have to go from 1.83 right to gingerbread. And you have to unlock your bootloader otherwise you might screw something up.
PS. Please check your grammar man. Unless you're from like France, take the time and type things the right way.

It wont load at all with 1.2.6 but that's not what is causing bricks going from 2.3.4 to any older sbf with the stock ota is causing the bricks. Kenneth build you can go back,and is safe to use.

well 2.3.4 is fully unlockable. 2.3.5 is only unlockable if you have a device that was shipped with 2.3.5. if it was updated or flashed to it you will not be able to unlock it. it's basically permanently locked. no way around it.

IIRC, it will error out, harming nothing, if it can't be unlocked. That's what it says in the instructions I received, though.
My Electrify was shipped with 2.3.5, and I'm running Jelly Bean now. I've flashed more ROMs than I can count in the last week alone.
As for the boot loaders (recoveries), CWM-Recovery that comes with the Electrify.zip unlock pack is the same as Joker's v3, and is your standard text-based, no-touch recovery. You navigate with volume and Power is your Enter. TWRP is all-touch, nice as hell. Both should work for you. TWRP is just nicer looking.
Sorry guys, my google and xda-fu do not seem to be up to snuff today. So here is my question(s):
I have a photon, rooted, unlocked and running the KDDI radio which works on tmobile and sprint, but i still have it on 2.3.4. Is there a way to update it to 2.3.5? I keep reading 2.3.5 will kill unlocking, but root still seems possible. Also does anyone have a thread where either the OTA or the ROM can be found (not the locked bootstrap version)
Update on 2.3.5. change log: http://mrlarge.wordpress.com/2012/07/18/sprint-motorola-photon-4g-receives-ota-update-2-3-5/
Lastly, does 2.3.5 add anything worthwhile? still have not found a change log on that either.

IMHO, Motorola put out 2.3.5 for the sole purpose of locking the bootloader. There is nothing in 2.3.5 to make it worth "upgrading" from 2.3.4.
I recommend staying on 2.3.4.
Although the bootloader is locked, you can root 2.3.5.
If you flash mof's 2.3.5ish locked rom you will have all of the benefits of 2.3.5 without permalocking your bootloader. It's the most recent of the locked rom and IMHO the best option for locked people.
If you don't have 4G wimax anywhere nearby I would recommend unlocking that bootloader and trying one of the jb roms that th3bill has been cranking out

Do you have a Photon (Sprint) or is it an Electrify (us cellular)?
What version of firmware was your device running before everything went crazy?
