Thats what the problem was your bootloader was locked so you cant flash roms that only work when unlocked

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.

The error is actually ok just pull battery out and put it back in and turn on the phone, us cellular boot screen should come up and also it may take a little time to boot up completely to home screen.

Yes , It worked ! It has reached the home screen..Now what is the next step????
From the other thread.
Full
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.

Hold off for a few minutes before you SBF and risk losing your unlock. Other phones I have had, doing a similar process as sbf, has killed unlocks.

No your just stuck in a boot loop. If you have cwm you can try a factory reset, or flash an sbf if your on an att atrix. Not sure if there is an sbf for other versions.

Do not do it if you flashed the 2.3.4 update or you will have a hard brick. I would recommend starting from 1.2.6 so you can root.

i have this problem after the installation of

If you flashed kenns rom you should be ok flashing an sbf I think it would only brick if you used the other method. If you can get into recovery I would recommend just flashing kenns rom again though should fix it

I've seen a few people with the Electrify (US Cellular version of Photon 4G) say they have "bootstrap" as an alternative to an unlocked bootloader (which we absolutely cannot get at this point). I've seen the bootstrap topic for Photon, but I asked a week or two ago if it worked for Electrify, and nobody knew if it did. So I thought I'd toss out a more general request. So, does anybody know how to get bootstrap on the Electrify?

You cannot install ANY AOSP ROMs (CM7, CM9, MIUI, Paranoid, etc) on a locked phone. The results will be very nasty. You are limited to LOCKED ROMs like Rocko and Uninversal.

And why doesn't anyone with Electrify try to pull updater-binary from rocko zip and push in my zip, delete the lines for flashing kernel from updater-script in my zip and delete boot.img from my zip and try to flash with bootstrap? Maybe this won't work, but I don't see, why not. And if you know, how to sbf to stock, then there's nothing to loose and you'll have more options for available ROMs. ;-)

You have to download it to computer. Try some different computer with different internet connection. You have to use RSD lite, there's no workaround.

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...

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.

After flashing sbf and unbrick files you should root your phone and install bootstrap. Once bootstrap is installed flash kddi, 2.3.5 radio, hybridlocked20 and then kddi again. There's a chance you may get boot loops if you do then clear your data.
