Does anyone know where I can get the stock gingerbread images? I have a bootloader locked Atrix and I'm getting "failed to boot 1" and I can't flash with RSDlite because it can't switch to bp passthrough mode. So I'm thinking I can fix it if I can flash the fastboot images because it can boot to fastboot.
Thanks.

Fruitcakes. Use search.
Fruitcakes won't work on a locked bootloader. They have to be the completely unmodified images for it to work.

Oh. Then you need a SBF. But you won't find that here, they have all been taken down.

It would be great if you read my OP.

Oops, my bad. Missed the part about RSD.
In that case, I'm not sure there is much you can do. As far as I know, original "images" only ever come as SBFs. Anything else derived from those will not be original as it won't have the proper Motorola signature, which is obviously a problem since you have a locked BL.
I found this link, and others, that has a link to the fastboot images but the link is now dead, does anyone have a copy of them?

I was cruising around doing some reading today and found a thread where someone had managed to pull the stock recovery out of an SBF file and replace it with Clockwork. They even made a "recovery only" sbf file and successfully installed it on their phone.
So from what I can gather, this would allow people to flash ROMs, themes, etc. without having to unlock and install a new recovery? You would have Clockwork with a locked bootloader?
Someone shed some light on this for me, please.
I think the bootloader still needs to be unlocked because of the signature verification.

Not so much signature validation, because that is a function of the recovery - but unlocking the partitions to be written too.

Thanks for clarifying, I wasn't quite sure.

I think I understand now, thanks. I was under the assumption that since Motorola are technically the only ones who are creating the sbf files, that they would be trusted by the devices to do as they please. Again, I am just learning here so thanks for whatever info comes about on this.
If anyone is at all interested in the thread I stumbled upon:

This was done in a way back with the moment. Could use the manufacturers flash tool and flash rooted and unlocked stock based roms

Yeah, I realize it was a bit dated but it seemed like a good way to do things. I would like to see even simple things like deodexed stuff in sbf, but it's not sounding like it's that simple.

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.
No you cannot flash a custom recovery on a locked bootloader.

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.

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.
Good Luck.
The 1st reply you got has the info to get you back to sprint.

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.

Hello,
So whats going on is my QI wireless on my phone stopped charging. so i called verizon to get a replacement which they are overnighting tonight to me. so my question is, is there a way (step by step) to just put the Orignal Recovery Flash rom back on the phone and just lock the bootloader without resetting the phone? if so and do that. well the tamper disappear on the phone as well? ?? because they want the phone how it is. they dont want me to do a phone reset so they can see what cause the problem...
So 2nd question if i don't fix the rooting and ship the phone as is to verizon. Do you think i well get charged for rooting my phone???
Thanks!
Flash a stock rom and kernel, restore all your apps and stuff, delete any root apps, remove supreuser/SuperSU, flash the stock recovery, and relock if you feel like it. If you all that you should be good.
Or just ruu and relock your phone. As long as the problem still persists they won't care that you wiped it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I hope the new one doesn't come updated because if so you won't be able to root. I would restore the old one and see if the wireless charging works again if so you might want to keep it if the new one is updated.

The download on that post is a zip file, which you would flash in recovery to have a stock Rom. Then you would restore your apps, remove any root apps, remove superuser, put a stock recovery on there and relock.

You should be able to use freegee to redo the bootloader unlock. Or use TeenyBin from autoprime's thread. That's the method I used to knock out the required partitions upgrade from the OTA and leave me rooted and unlocked all in one step.
