[Q] advice on flashing rom 2.3.5 locked photon 4g - Motorola Photon 4G

so i have spent hours trying to install a new rom from stock on 2.3.5.
I have bricked it loads and arrived at moto sunfire 2.3.5 using rsd.
i know that it is quite hard to flash a new rom install to the photon but i managed to complete install using an AOKP rom but after install a restart and then brick so back to the sunfire, I was wondering if someone can have a look at the install log and tell me what is going on and if there is a way of making it work? The bootloader is locked but installing using droid x2 recovery
THanks.

yeah i can't get back to stock either. and have no gsm capabilities. i need some direction or help with where to go next.
i'm up to using the sunfire sbf and cannot flash a kernel etc. i have used droid x2 recovery which allowed an install using aroma installer. then it hard bricks and needs an rsd reset, then back to sunfire, but there is not a 2.3.5 official update from motorola or android that has worked either.

You can't install custom kernels or installers on locked 2.3.5. This is how to unbrick it back to sprint. Other than that you are pretty much out of luck. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145

ok i have tried that, now no charge on phone at all, it doesn't charge when plugging into the wall, when plugging it in to laptop with battery get just a green light, without get a white light, the noise to say device plugged in and then installing driver software for microboot. Any way forwards from this?
oh yeah, im in the UK so no warranty or anything.
Thanks

Look up USB wall charger hack. I can't remember which thread it's in. But essentially you're going to need a 5v usb wall charger and any old usb cable that you dont care about cutting and splicing. There will be 4 cables inside your usb cable. But you only need the Black and Red I think. Then you will need to directly connect the appropriate wires directly to the battery terminals t the correct polarity. I had to do it awhile ago when I bricked my phone and let the battery die. It works, trust me. Just gotta leaving it charging for a few hours. NM found the thread for you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=376299

[Q] Tried to install Greyblur, now my Atrix 4g is stuck at the boot screen

So, I followed everything the briefmobile guide that was linked to from the greyblur xda page.
It said it installed, so I rebooted my Atrix and never made it past the "Dual Core Technology" boot screen.
I went into fastboot, then recovery mode (android guy by the triangle with the "!" in it). I reset the phone. Didn't work.
It was running 2.3.4.
I've read something about romracer, but I don't know what that is, where to download it, or how to use it. Please explain in depth if it is relevant.
Please help me. I just got this phone (my first smartphone) today and was really excited to start messing around with Android. I'm probably going to be too nervous to do anything for a while after this. I just want the stock os back. Anything that could get my phone back to where it was is GREATLY appreciated.
There is a one click batch script created by Alaq to revert phones back to stock 2.3.4. Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522
If you are not sure how to get into fastboot here is how:
1. Turn off your device.
2. Hold down the power button and downward volume button until you see “Fastboot” on your screen.
3. Push the upward volume button.
Greyblur is only for froyo ROMS. That's why you have a nonbooting phone.

Ok. I ran it, it said it was successful, I restarted it, and now I have:
Failed to boot 4

That only happens when your phones bootloader isn't unlocked. I assumed it was since you tried flashing a custom rom. You are going to have to flash a sbf file. Here is the link to the instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
You can find the 2.3.4 sbf file here:
http://www.fileserve.com/file/6TxJg...OLE-26-release-keys-signed-MERetail-06.sbf.gz
Or you can try the 2.3.6 update found here:
http://atrix.tk/4.5.141/
You are going to need to extract the file from the archive so you will need a zip program. I would go with winrar or 7-zip.
Also there is a newer version of rsd lite out than the one posted on the how to. Here is the link
http://mophoforum.com/the2dcour/RSDLite5.5.rar
This should get you running again. Good luck.

...first day of owning this phone... I think I'm done with this stuff after this. >.<
If you are trying to install ROMS you need to unlock the bootloader first... Check out the Noobs Guide in the general section.

You're sure that if I flash this it won't get bricked further? SBF is firmware, right? I meant my phone was running OS 2.3.4.
I can't get get into rsd or fastboot now. All it says is
Failed to boot 4
Starting RSD mode.
I plugged that into my computer, it recognized my Atrix as SE Flash Olympus, instead of NS flash olympus, so I tried to flash it anyways and it failed.
Please guys. I'm getting desperate here. Please tell me I don't have a $250 paper weight.
If it says "Starting RSD mode," then you're in RSD mode -- that's okay.
RSD Lite also recognized my phone as "SE" instead of "NS." Not sure why, but it didn't harm anything.
Sometimes the flashing process fails with RSD Lite. (Do NOT EVER unplug your phone in the middle of a flash, by the way.) Which SBF did you try to flash?

2.3.4, what my phone was originally running.
Okay, good. Don't try any earlier SBF versions; that's the guaranteed way to brick your phone. (You're not hard bricked until it says "Failed to boot, entering NVFlash" -- if you have any other options, it's possible to pull it back.)
Try to flash the 2.3.4 SBF again. I've heard of some people having to try a couple of times before it takes; RSD Lite can be finicky.
I think the most immediately pressing issue would be your battery's charge, because it can't charge if it can't boot. If the program errors out with "Battery too low to flash", you may need to pick up an external charger and/or ask someone nicely at an at&t store to charge your battery in one of theirs.

Ok. So I'll try flashing it a couple more times. My battery should have a decent charge still, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Thanks.
I really need to just calm down and stop loosing my head over this.
UPDATE: When the flash fails, the phone's screen reads:
Failed to Boot 4
Starting RSD Mode
sec_exception: febe, 35, 35
RSD Lite also says
Flashing failed process. Phone did not re-ennumerate after RAM downloader was sent (0x703e).
What does this mean?
Hmm. I'll admit I don't know what that means, so all I can do is help you troubleshoot.
I did some searching, and another user hit this problem when using a USB port on the front of his PC (which is not powered as strongly as one on the back). Did I mention RSD Lite is a finicky beast?
If you're on a desktop machine, try switching to a USB port at the back. If you're on a laptop, try a different port. I'll keep looking for anyone with a similar problem.
EDIT: One last question. You extracted the file before flashing, right? The extension is .sbf, not sbf.gz?
Hmmm... Yeah, I guess all I can do is keep looking.
My battery is now too low to flash, and I don't have a friend who has an Atrix.
I might just sent this into mobiletechvideo's debricking service. This is my first android phone and I'd rather not mess it up anymore.
Yes, it's an SBF file.
Fair enough. Sorry this wound up being a pain. I know full well that sick feeling when you think something's messed up, but your phone is still only in a "soft brick" at this stage and can be recovered.
Keep in mind these things really can be modded safely, but you have to do a LOT of reading at the outset, and stick with roms made very recently. (Last August? ancient history.) It's an interesting technology intersection; these things are proper computers which should be readily customizable, but they're also phones which tend to be locked down by the manufacturer/carrier. By analogy, I can wipe my computer's hard drive and install XP if I want, even though I'm currently on W7. But if I try to install an earlier Android version on my phone, it bricks.
anyway, good luck with getting your phone up and running again.
Thanks. I actually did a decent amount of reading before I got this phone, but it seems I'm more of a kinesthetic kind of learner. I probably should have gotten an older, cheaper phone to play around with before I went all out and got an Atrix.
It really is an interesting intersection. It's too bad the manufactures feel the need to put any restrictions on.
I guess I'll just read some more n00b guides and try again when I have a little more confidence. $50 doesn't seem so bad to get the phone debricked compared to the $250 I payed for it. I don't really have a choice either, since the only means of charging it is thirty miles away at the nearest AT&T store.
Anyways, thanks for helping me troubleshoot. Hit me up if you have any problems. I'd be happy to dig around in the forums and see if I can find anything.
You could have avoided all these problems if you had read the entire thread about greyblur, because it specifically states that it is only for froyo phones. But, as many say, you live and you learn, then you aren't a noob anymore.
Also, if you have warranty on your phone, you can send it in and Motorola should fix it for you from what I've heard.

[Q] Motorola Razr XT910 Bricked !!!

Hi
Please assist in this regard, I rooted my device and installed Rom Manager, and tried to flash MIUI Rom. My devices rebooted but were stuck on the Moto boot screen. I tried system recovery by holding down volume+- & power button, and it indicated my device were locked. My battery is flat and I'm unable to charge the battery at all. firmware 65.1.40.XT910.MERetail.en.06 Android Ver : 2.3.6. How do I get my device to work again amd where can I find the original Rom to flash with RSD lite ???
You feedback would be much appreciated.
Regards.

This should get you started. You can try an old school battery pull (yes it is possible to remove the back, just have to pry like hell)
EDIT: Found a video on youtube for exactly this scenario.

I recommend getting a tbh adapter. It lets you power the phone directly from USB even with a dead battery. After that you need to use RSD liter or a similar tool to fastboot he phone back to stock.

[Q] no usb connection , and kernel gone evil ;P

UPDATE 2 : 29th Nov
ok lemme rephraze what i need
i am having a drain bug in my setup, be it stock or custom rom .
using latest safestrap and running stock ICS , black widow and eclipse Roms
all showing similar levels of battery drain.
cant use fastboot or anything that requires a PC to flash stuff as my phone wont connect to any PC.
just tell me how to fix this battery drain issue without using a PC
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE as on Nov 29th
after reading a lot , i came to know that the guy from whom i bought this phone flashed a kexec XT910 CM10 build on it , the build couldnt work as the phone process was force closing ,
but i suppose despite my reactivating the stock the kexec build kernel is still functional on the phone thereby leading to battery loss in sleep as well as occasional freeze,
So i guess in this light someone can shed some light on the issue of how can i replace this evil cm10 kexec kernel with the stock ics Xt912 kernel WITHOUT THE USE OF A PC as i suspect flashing of that cm10 build isnt letting me connect to any PC in any mode with any cable.
CHK the attached pics for the condition the phone was in when i bought.
=====================================================
ORIGINAL QUERY​
got a XT912 Of ebay.
phone has safestrap , stock partition , and 4 others .
when i got it , it was on cm9 i guess or 10 with phone process force closing
iall i did was boot to stock Xt912 thru safestrap ( stock ics 4.0.4 was already there )
But the issue has been i have not been able to connect this phone to any PC with any cabae at all, wanted to clean it and flash the 4.0.4 XML via rsd lite , the phone charges alright via usb cable, but as soon as you plug it in the prompt says unrecognised device, changes all the options in storage settings as well.
but i could live without that,
the other and most annoying major issue is that the Kernel in stock has gone totally evil, its sucking up all the juice Gsam battery info shows 85% of battery was drained by it sitting idle in last 6 hrs
one more interesting thing is that the phone itself becomes frozen , the soft touch lights keep glowing and the phone screen goes black and unresponsive to everyrthing, i have hardset reset by power and vol down to reboot. wehat is this happeneing
its happening on stock ROM as well as eclipse rom that i just installed on another partition thru safestrap.
can anyone tell me
1.. how to get over usb connection unrecognized thingy ( tried every possible thing i could fine )
2.. how can i flash the stock ICS with stock kernel without connecting to usb, are there zip files available for that , dont wanna mess up whatever i already am having.
any help would be appreciated

are your drivers installed?
yes installed and reinstalled latest drivers many times.
currently installed MotorolaDeviceManager_2.3.4, i guess they r latest.
updated the safestrap
installed another ROM in eclipse 1.5 on the partition 2
but still battery drain is similar and got 2 phone freezes as well.
and still not able to connect the phone to PC in any possible way .
looks like some glitch in the kernel as Gsam battery monitor shopws kernel is using up a lot of battery.
nones having any idea ?
i am kinna stuck guyz
chip in with whatever you think is doable

try different cable or computer. then, if eclipse or stock "sees" your device, flash stock firmware using RSD lite
or, flash another kernel
also, there is another method flashing stock firmware, but I see now that the site is not working anymore...
http://www.eternityproject.eu/topic/53-eternityproject-fla****-rsd-alternative-for-flashing/
try yourself later
good luck
is it not possible to flash another kernel , i meran the stock kernel using cwm or safestrap ?
i guess till this phone accepts any cord or PC , thats the best bet

Unfortunately there is NO way to flash stock firmware, nor kernel without using an usb cable...
You can only flash radio with custom recovery (I've tried bootmenu manager)
For a better info about flashing kernel, see posts 525 and 526 form here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964792&page=53
Have you tried another computer and cable?
Also I suppose your pc doesn't see the phone when is in fastboot mode...
Yes nothing in USB or fast boot mode.
Although phone does connect in sbf made but that again needs it to be in fast bout to flash the ROM.
Gonna give those links a try.
Is there any jig or something somewhere.
edit : well again this also requires connecting to PC , which isnt possible
is there no way to flash stock or just kernel only via recovery

The kexec Kernel doesnot delete your stock kernel , it just bypasses it . Your best bet is to ask the CM10 dev on how to remove/uninstall the ROM & kernel. I guess HSD-Pilot/Hashcode will be able to help you out.

help me plz !!!
Don't know on the fixing battery draing and I am out of suggestions.
Just a few things. And I read a lot of your problem.
When you say windows won't recognize it, are you talking about USB pop ups when you plug it in saying device not recognized?
Because the phone is fragged. That would seem normal.
I just double-checked mine.
In AP fastboot mode windows does not load the normal USB drivers. The only place it shows in windows is under ADB Device in Device Manager. No pop ups.
When in AP Fastboot, the phone recognizes when a USB cable is plugged in. AND when I fire up RSDLite, and I click show devices and it shows nothing. But it should still load.
I just wanted to make sure that you weren't relying on the normal pop-up you get when you normally plug your phone in. You are not going to get that when phone is in fastboot mode. Windows won't show any pop-ups. But it does show in Device Manager under ADB Devices. And the phone switches over to connected on the display.
I just wasn't clear if you had tried that from reading your posts.
Hope you get it resolved.
Hi,
lord dredd I have exactly the same problem, but i haven't applied custom ROM or other kernel. My Device is running on stock OS.
This problem began on sunday, 25th of November, and from that day i'm struggling to repair it.
What i have discovered through App "BetterBatteryStats" is that there are constantly active two kernel wakelocks: "usb" and "suspend_backoff". Through App "OS Monitor" i found that process "system" is constantly using 15-30% of CPU. Sometimes this process is calming down, but plugging USB cord to the phone results in waking it up again.
I think that this two are connected with each other.
The last thing i can now think about is that the USB port or motherboard in the device is corrupted.
I hope that this information will be helpfull in diagnosing what is causing this problem.
Sory, if my english is bad, but i'm not, a native english speaker.

Don't know on the fixing battery draing and I am out of suggestions.
Just a few things. And I read a lot of your problem.
When you say windows won't recognize it, are you talking about USB pop ups when you plug it in saying device not recognized?
Because the phone is fragged. That would seem normal.
I just double-checked mine.
In AP fastboot mode windows does not load the normal USB drivers. The only place it shows in windows is under ADB Device in Device Manager. No pop ups.

Yes I have tried the fast bolt modes and tried flashing with rsd lite as well as tried adb commands too
But nothing actually happens.
The phone sits like that and in adb it says waiting for the device.
I have now lost all hope and will not use this phone.

[Q] Help needed after wipe internal storage

Guys, I was trying to flash a CM11 ROM with Safestrap and it got crazy saying my internal storage was only 1.6GB, I was kinda desperate and wiped the internal storage but after that the phone won't start, fastboot, nothing. When its connected to the charger it gets stuck at the motorola logo and connected with usb it lights up the front led. but nothing happens.
Can someone help me flashing the rom again back to my Razr? Can be the stock ROM.

If you have an XT912, you can use Matt's Utility.
For XT910, use RSDLite to flash your stock ROM.
Lok for those in dev and general section.

Thanks for the reply, but RSD does not find my phone (XT910), it won't boot on fastboot.

Well, some had luck to RSD even when fastboot was not available.
You should re-install the drivers. Also, there's a chance your battery is out of power.You'll need a factory cable in that case.

Yes man, now I believe my battery is dead, I'll try the factory cable later and post the results.
Thanks for the help

I know I'm really late but you don't need a factory cable if your phone battery is dead. You can cut off the tip of your cell phone charger's Micro-USB and attach the appropriate wires to the battery terminals inside the phone. I've done this before. I was in Safestrap and wiped my phone's Stock ROM. I bricked my phone and had battery life under 10% so Matt's Droid Utility wouldn't work. There is a video on YouTube showing how to do it. A factory cable is preferable to the method I used because you'll need a new charger obviously.
