Sorry i did not have the kernel or most information about the phone but ill explain the problem if anyone can help out it'd be a blessing
i have a U.S cellular Motorola electrify running 2.3.5 ( which recently found out was unrom-able)
i got it rooted using one touch method--
Then not thinking -- ( ive rooted and installed roms on other phones never a Motorola) didn't know it needed a unlocked bootloader to function and get roms installed.
i knew i needed a clockworkmod on the phone and i read about the app that boots into clockworkmod bootstrap--apk
did that and it worked--
here is the problem..
didn't install the bootloader.. and tried installing Cyanogenmod10 unofficial rom from photon development forum
rebooted-- got Failed to Start2- starting rsd mode -- if i dont press anything
if i press down it says NV recovery but does nothing
if i press UP it goes into Starting usd recovery ( sorry not exact words not with my phone at the moment)
ive been reading guides.. downing the lock unlock from the bricked guide.. RSD lite would read the phone in the usd recovery
try flashing the offical us cellular back but get an error
wont show up in command prompt
not sure what to do.. please help its hard to function without a phone i hope its not fully bricked
Can you get into fast boot by pressing power and volume-down? If so, you just need to wipe everything using "fastboot -w" and rebooting into RSD mode to flash the uscc sbf.
When you flashed cm10, the kernel is not compatible with the bootloader you're on.
If anyone has the 2.3.5 electrify boot.img, you could probably flash it through fastboot if it'll let you

Thank you for the reply.. when I press volume down and boot on it says " nv flash mode" then turns off unless hooked in a computer then just stays on that screen
If I press volume up and turn on it says fast boot protocol support and Is half recognized in rsd ITE
If I just power no volume press on it says failed to boot 2 starting RSS mode..
I'm sort of new to everything and need more details.. tryed wiping using fast boot u downloaded but gives error.. same with flashing yes cellular sbf in RSd lite trying all 3 button combos that work
Please I need this phone working.. I messed up someone's phone saying I could put cm10 it for Christmas! Any help would be awesome

Hello,
I have a rooted and BL unlocked atrix.
Tried to use rom manager to install CWM. Tried to go into recovery but now it is saying: "Failed to boot 2" and under that "Starting RSD mode".
I have pulled battery and no luck.
Please help
Well cant enter fastboot either. Was going to try to flash tenfar's CWM but when i hold down the power and vol down key it it displays the before mentioned error and turns the phone off a millisecond later.
Good news however is that RSD still picks up the phone. I will go home and try to flash the pudding sdf again and see if i can get it to boot up that way. If anyone else has any ideas, let me know please.
flashed pudding using rsd lite and it booted up. Lost root but apps stayed.
Hello, I have a customer's Photon that is bricked beyond the grave. The story is this guy was trying to complete a software update and since then his phone bricked itself. I asked him if the phone was rooted and if he was flashing roms ect (I don't care obviously) and he repeatidly said no. So here is the deal, I would really appreciate any help.
Currently the phone can boot into fastboot mode with vol up+power.
If I hold JUST power I get
SVF: 108: 1: 2
Failed to boot 3
Starting RSD mode (never gets to starting RSD Protocol)
Now I can at least get RSD Lite to recognize the phone and begin the flashing with the SBF file ( I have tried them all btw) and the creating image process will get to 100% and then will fail at the re-enumeration process. This is with all SBF files from 154 to the latest 198_7.
I have tried multiple versions of RSD Lite, Reinstalled 64bit drivers and rebooted my PC, and have tried different USB ports. With everything I do the farthest I can go is to the re-enumeration process and RSD Lite Fails every time. I cannot even get into Stock recovery to perform a factory wipe either. The only key combos that work for me are Power only, or vol up + power. When I get into fastboot mode there is no option for anything like getting to recovery. And pressing power only gets me into a semi-working RSD mode.
I am completely stumped, I have successfully used RSD Lite in the past with no problems on multiple Motorola phones but cannot get this Photon to flash any SBF File. Please help!
This is what happens when you flash an Electrify ROM onto a Photon. There is no current solution, because you need a 2.3.5 ROM to fix it...and the only one is of course the US Cellular ROM.
Hi.please help me about idea: I Can flash file SBF (photon original) with model Electrify? I flashed but " Fail" That's why?

So i followed those steps.. but now i'm getting "failed to boot 4 starting rsd mode" error and can no longer access the fastboot menu via power +volume down. am i screwed?
Maybe I got lucky, but I used the Electrify SBF, received the same error, and the phone still worked. The initial boot up when you flash the Electrify SBF is looooong, but will boot properly. Give it some time.
I just did this last night.

Yeah I figured it out. It took 6.5 hours since prior to this problem I had zero android knowledge as far as custom roms, flashing, rooting etc. I got my first android three weeks ago and when this happened I had to learn all this **** in about 5 hours. It was a stressful day.
my thread was later updated on Jul 29 with pointer to the following thread by peetr_

I bricked my phone by Flashing pudding with RSD LITE before I unlock my bootloader. Someone told me I should flash pudding to unlock bootloader. Flashing procedure has failed and I got this at the end : http://tinypic.com/r/2lfk1/6
I was on gingerbread 4.5.91, rooted ATT device. I bought it from USA and I'm in Turkey now. I cant send it to warranty.
Is that a soft or hard brick? Can I fix it?! Please say yes.
Please, Help me! I am waiting your answers.
(I'm so noob about the phone, please tell me with more informations)
Does this look like a hard brick to you?
(If you can't tell, the answer is no.)

Wait, what SBF did you use? This **** is important.
i think you can still unlock your bootloader through fastboot,
and then flash system image..
Boot into fastboot mode and use the fastboot OEM unlock code from your computer, please read all the instructions in the pudding thread before panicking

Lol! Don't panic, I just got out of the same situation a few hours earlier. Get your atrix into fast boot mode by pressing power and vol up buttons while placing the battery. Then proceed to unlocking your bootloader. Flash a boot image to get your atrix to boot into OS again, follow this http://www.android-advice.com/2012/flash-the-motorola-atrix-4g-back-to-stock-4-5-91-rom/ if you break your wifi like I did, just follow "Alaq's" Moto-Fastboot: Stock Restore. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421522 or you can just flash the 2.3.6 from this https://sites.google.com/site/motosbf/atrix-sbf-files using rsd lite, open rsd lite, turn on your atrix and connect to your computer, you'll see rsd will still recognize your atrix, then flash the sbf file.

Eek. I'm not sure if you can solve this. If holding Power+Volume Down after the green light shines displays the word Fastboot, there might be hope.
Thanks

Exactly...I too tried to flash my phone, OS got corrupted and followed the same procedure to recover my phone, without any single data loss I got back my phone.
Main thing that we want to note while flashing the phone is Version of the flash file which we are trying to flash, if it is downgraded version then there is 80% of chance for OS corruption. so before flashing check the version.
It's a softbrick
get into fastboot using volume rocker keys.
use command line on windows
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot oem unlock ################
done.
Thanks,

I have searched and searched and searched.....nothing seems to work.....
I was messing around with my phone (latest update and rooted). I was messing with rom toolbox and was trying to change the theme...
Bottom line, phone is stuck on the M screen (dual core screen)
I tried to do a hard reset but it didnt work... Just goes back to the same screen.
any ideas are greatly appreciated!!!!
Thank you in advance
Is your bootloader unlocked? Do you have CWM installed by any chance?...
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
nope neither
from what you've said it would appear that you've changed something whilst in rom toolbox and as such it won't boot up.
You say you've got the latest update and I am wondering if this means your bootloader is locked now? When did you update your phone? when you start up the phone are you able to get in recovery? (volume down when starting up).
Anything I could suggest is going to be full of dangers (sbf flash for one).
Barry, the phone was updated a few weeks ago. I believe it was running 2.3.6
Any thing that can be done like sbf i am willing to give a try....and yes i messed up in rom toolbox
Soft Bricked my phone
I did the same to my phone as well. I had updated my phone from neutrino 2.7 to 2.8 through CWM. When I booted up for the first time, it worked fine but when I did a factory reset through neutrino, it booted up and then got stuck on the boot screen.
The phone was unlocked and rooted but for some reason usb is not being recognized in the pc, CWM is not loading up and RSD lite wont recognize phone because it is not running Blur. I tried using various commands on fastboot and adb such as fastboot devices and adb device but I dont get anything back..the device seems to stuck in perpetual bootloop. I can get into fastboot and RSd but it is stuck on starting fastboot protocol suppor..
The one bright spot is that LED comes on when i plug in USB without battery meaning the phone is being charged by USB just not being recognized. I tried installing all the drivers and reinstalling them but I usually get a device error on computer which is a 64 bit Windows 7.
I think I am F#Cked..can somebody help me..
theoretically, since I can get into fastboot cant I just go to recovery and wipe the data and then install a update from the SD card?
I would just need to unlock the bootloader right?
it was running the 4.5.141 update.
I can get RSD to show up on the phone and it does connect to the computer.....
FastBoot does connect to the computer

why not give it a try? if it does not work, flash the 4.5.141 update via RSD Lite, if you get into bootloop, push clockwork recovery via fastboot, then boot into recovery wipe cache, wipe davlik cache, wipe data/factory reset, then reboot. if you really can't get it to work you can send it to me so I can try fix it, that is if you would trust me. Just pay for return shipping, you can use usps flat rate box with signature confirmation so you'll know i have received it. I have previously helped a guy in Dell Streak Forum and I have lots of positive feedback in XDA Market place, i just love helping other out, flashing ROMs and fixing broken/bricked phones. Just PM me if you are interested.
I have made progress!
I have managed to unlock the bootloader with the following
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871
I am still stuck on the same M screen still, it just says unlocked now.....
Where do I go from here?
Looks like all I need to do now is find a way to get the rom onto the sd card so that I can flash it with clock work recovery.....
I tried to mount my external 2 gig card and do it that way but it didnt work....
Any other ideas?
Well I got myself into it this time. I have a Rogers Canada XT910 razr. I installed the Arctic rom and lost all my data connection, and all my apps and could not reload them from google play because it says they are already installed. So I did a wipe and reset and decided to try to use RSD to reflash the ics leak. The flash failed, and my phone is bricked. What's guy to do.
Thanks
John

That's the leak you need I guess.
There's just one Problem. You need an patched Boot. Img and the system signed of the necessary GB Rom.
I've not searched this Thread for an boot. Img. Maybe someone posted one.
I'm not sure, if you can flash the European Fastboot Files, to get an working RazR, till there's an solution for you.
Gesendet von meinem XT910 mit Tapatalk 2
Thanks man. I had already side loaded the leak that you had linked to so I was on ics before I tried the arctic. I will try tonight to install the European version. I'll let you know how it goes.
Well I am at my wits end.
I eventually got my phone to reboot back into the Arctic rom I loaded, but can't figure out how to update this rom or load another. I have tried with RSD to flash a different flashboot files, but they all fail. I have down loaded a few different custom roms and loaded them on my sd card and tried updating my phone from external storage through the Android system recovery utility but action is always aborted. I can't load any apps like rom manager, file manager, or anything for that matter. When I go to the play store and look at my apps it says i already have them all installed and can't load any. What can I do?
Well I can't seem to leave well enough well enough. tried a few more things and now the phone won't boot. It gets to the Motorola logo and turns off. So can I can get to fastboot and recovery or off. Brutally expensive paper weight.
Can help

I bricked my Rogers RAZR too and was able to fix it. It's a matter of finding the correct signed img and flashing it using the fastboot (when starting phone press power and hold volume up if I remember correctly). Will check what the name of the image is and get back to you. I flashed three or so different images before it would finally boot, then I was able to re-root it, install CWM and get back on my feet.:good:
The rom I loaded is European from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1760702
I have been bricked before and fixed the issue, but after loading this custom rom the flash I used the first time with RSD does not work. I appreciate any help and I am willing to try what ever. I did not impress my wife with this one.
flash this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1634223.html
then reboot....it will work
Thanks I will try it after I get home from work today.
[TUTORIAL]
1. Download the empty_radio.img
2. Turn off the Razr
3. Power On the Razr and select Fastboot Mode AP
4. Open the command prompt CMD
5. Go to the folder where the radio is empty
6. Make flash the radio with the following command and then type "fastboot reboot"
7. Rest assured I tested on my Razr this command does not erase the radio
8. This command will only restart the fastboot
9. Now then turn off the Razr holding vol - and power
10. Plug the Razr holding vol + vol - and power and have it start normally
11. Now restart the fastboot screen will not show more ...
This stuff is over my head. I don't know how to do steps 4,5,6. I don't know what to do in command prompt, I can't find the folder where the radio is empty, and I don't know how to flash the radio. I am totally lost.
Does any body have any other Ideas?
Have you tried fastboot with rsd lite?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Yes I have tried flashing several different XML files from different ROM's With RSD lite 5.7. The flash always fails. In RSD it says that my phone is connected, but it does not show my IMEI it just has N/A in that box. When I hook up my wife's phone which is totally stock it does show her IMEI. Could this be part of the problem?
