Accidentally install electrify sbf in photon 4g - Motorola Photon 4G

Guys
Actually by mistake I install electrify rom in my motorola photon 4g and now my photon got restart again and again after 5 min
So I am unable ro use this. I install 2.3.5 version of electrify
Can anyone help me to back my photon
Pleae guys I need your help

Return to photon is nearly imposible, becouse 2.3.5 sbf for photon is not available. Try a full wipe from recovery.
It may help. If not then root your phone install bootstrap recovery and flash roms for locked bootloader like peetr hybrid rom

Actually I flash electrify sbf 2 times, its never completed. Its always stuck on middle of the flashing but electrify OS is on the photon.
Can you tell me I have to root via photon or electrify root ?

Please read through the thread link provided.
Is your photon showed any trouble before flashing. What is the reason behind 2.3.5 sbf flashing
Sent from my MB855 using Tapatalk 2

Actually I was facing "RSD protocol support" error on my photon. So I thought that was bcoz of some software so I flashed this electrify sbf. After some time it was bcoz of volume up button was not working. Now my phone is rebooting again and again

If you are getting starting rsd protocol message during booting is due to faulty vol up button. ( vol up+ power on = rsd protocol mod, vol down + power on = fastboot mod )
I think the initial problem was stucked vol up button .

Various steps for different roms. Be carefull about selecting roms. Only flash roms for locked bootloader. Otherwise your phone will be bricked. I suggest peeters hybrid rom for locked bootloader.

5) Flash 2.3.5_254_13 sv2 boot, recovery and cdrom image sbf with RSD Lite.
6) Flash 254_12 libmoto_ril.so with bootstrap. You don't need to flash the radio SBF.
4) and 6) is not needed, if you install rom 3)
Here is the problem Now I am facing

Bootstrap skinny4G

I have searched the forum and cant find this basic answer. How do I load skinny4g via boot strap? I rooted my phone, but it is still locked because I dont want to loose 4G. Can I revert back to stock rooted if I dont like skinny 4G?
Sorry that I am so clueless. I recently traded in my Epic 4G and am still learning how to handle the MoPho! Thanks!
You can still use skinny4g with 4g working, for other roms that are "unlocked" you need to have an unlocked device. Id suggest getting cmw on your device (its in android development somewhere) and using that to flash skinny4g, atleast thats what I did. Dont flash any other roms unless they say they are locked or youve unlocked your device
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Cool. I just install CWM. I will give it a shot. Does Skinny4G boost performance or is it just visual tweaks. Thanks!

Skinny 4G is extremely fast and tweaked. You need to the bootstrap version
FIRSTLY
The gist is you will want to use RSD light have the SBF file and then flash it . Make sure battery is greater than 50 percent charged.
Download RSD Lite and 198_7 SBF from.
http://www.holylivingfuck.com/ACS/SBFs/
You should read this thread on more information about 198_7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666
Make sure you have proper USB drivers for OS 64 or 32 bit installed, install RSD lite and follow the directions below.
Make sure your battery is greater than 50percent before doing any of this.
1) Fire off RSD lite, select the SBF you need 198_7 .
2) Hold down power and vol up till RSD mode comes up
3) Plug into usb then start the flashing sequence.. ( the whole process will take a while)
4) The process is done when RSD lite says manually power up the phone.. You may need to take the back off and pull the battery to restart it incase it doesnt power up on its own.

You need to install the Bootstrap apk. You can get it from here.

To install the rom you need to place it in your external sd card.
Run the bootstrap and then apply it. You will need to whipe the cache and clear dalvik cache before applying the ROM.
Good luck.
Hey everyone. I'm brand new to the Mopho world and i was just curious about a few things.
I see that rooting and unlocking breaks the 4g on the device and so far, i've only come across skinny4G's rom that keeps 4g intact. Why can't the same method that's used with skinny be applied to a CM7 or CM9 rom?
Just wanna get my bearings before I jump into this. I'm coming from a year and a half of moding the OG Evo. Just felt that it was time to move on. All explanations are welcome!
I DL'ed RSD Lite, when I put my phjone into RSD protocol and connect it to my PC RSD lite doesnt recognize it. Any ideas on what is wrong? Thanks!

You cant go to the custom recovery because the bootstrap is one time solution - everytime you want to ge to the bootstrap recovery you have to tell your phone to do so unless you have installed cwm on boot...
You'll probably need to use the rds in this case...

[Q] CM10 will not install

Hello all,
For the life of me, I cannot get Cyanogenmod 10 Alpha 3 to install on the Droid X2 that my friend gave me. I have been able to root it and CWM is installed (though only accessible via the System Recovery app and when plugged into the wall).
When I go to install from sdcard, I get the following:
-- Installing: SDCARD:cm-10-20130113-UNOFFICIAL-daytona.zip
Finding update package...
Opening updated package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/cm-10-20130113-UNOFFICIAL-daytona.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
I had wiped cache and factory reset before attempting. I've tried redownloading it. I've tried copying it to the "internal sdcard", which gives me a kernel error if i try to install from there.
Any ideas? I didn't have anywhere near this kind of trouble getting CM10 on my HTC Aria.
Thank you in advance.

Lets put it the easy way, are you on android version 2.3.5 or 2.3.4. You need to be on 2.3.4 to install or it will abort like that. If your on 2.3.5 then sbf back to 2.3.4 and then install.

I'm on 2.3.5; it came that way from my friend and when I bricked it last night, I sbf'd it back to 2.3.5 because I was unaware that you could roll back (my experience lies in iPhone jailbreaking, and we can't roll back 99% of the time).
So the course of action is to then:
1. SBF to 2.3.4 [REF] Roms, Root, SBF, RSD, Bootstrap, Mods
2. root via This root tool on the Unlockr? This was the root I've used thus far.
3. flash CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1169677
4. Copy my rom zips to the SD card (do I need the WiFI patch? It's labeled MX2, I have a DX2)
5. Use the System Recovery app to get into CWM and flash my CM10, right?

more [HOW-TO-VIDEOS] for Droid X2
Since I've already used RSD Lite to get the phone working again on (2.3.5), would there be any issue just to use RSD Lite again for 2.3.4?
The Linux boot USB drive sounds like a viable option though. Using that though, wouldn't I run option 1 then 2?
Thanks again Shadow.
If rsd lite has worked before, it should be fine

Spinning Stargate of CM10...
No annoying DROOOOOID sound and eyeball...
But it's been on the Cyanogenmod logo for a while now. Several minutes actually.
if it doesn't boot in 2-3 mins it's not likely going to.

Ok. I'm factory resetting and going to start over completely from scratch.
After installing CM10 and Gapps, should I wipe or reset anything before restarting?
use Gaaps 20121011
and may want to try flashing rerecovery zip, in bsr after flashing rom, link link my list under Droid X2

I got it going. After that last reinstall, I wiped everything and factory reset. After about 3 minutes it booted in.
Thanks for all the help!

2.3.5 Photon Flashed to Electrify 2.3.5 USCC (SBF) Problem with USB

All,
I have flashed 1 other Photon to the 2.3.5 Electrify SBF and followed this thread and had no problems.. ([How-To] Unlock ATT/T-Mobile on 2.3.5 OTA - xda-developers)
This one is a little different.
Problems:
1. Wifi Does not work(Error)
2. It does not detect any CDMA signals (I don't have an account anyways)
My steps:
1. Flash full 2.3.5 Electrify SBF
2. Pull battery and let phone reboot into 2.3.5 US Cellular Electrify Rom .(takers 5 mins)
3. Turn on USB debugging mode to gain root and install recovery..
This is where it craps out! Says it "cannot change mode" and when I reboot the phone to try again nothing happens when USB is plugged in.
1. RSD works.
2. Fastboot works
3. The phone/driver shows up in device manager correctly.
Can anyone suggest a way to get this bad boy on KDDI radio and PEETr_s' rom? I just wanna use GSM.
Thanks,.

I can access my SD card....
Can I install a Superuser APK from the SD card, to gain root? Which version should I use?
(I tried an older version and it did not gain root so I still can't load DroidX2 recovery.
Thanks.
Wireless is working now and I am able to get to the market...
Update:
Did this:
http://mobigees.info/root-motorola-photon-2-3-5/
I was able to get Root access Verified by Root Checker form store.
Tried to install X2 recovery.APK Says it installed then when I reboot-recovery it just reboots into US-Cellular rom. (NO BootStarp Recovery!)
I am pulling my hair out! Help!
Wireless ADB works... If that helps or gives anyone any ideas....
TWRP recovery installs and gives failed to boot 2. (I can flash stock recovery back via Fastboot)
This this just will NOT reboot into Droid X2 recovery. (yes I have multiple charge cables etc..)
Can I leverage fastboot here at all?
wow. nothing hunh?
Guess this place is a ghost-town now.
just to be sure, you rooted the thing after the electrify load, Right?

never mind, saw you did root it. so did recovery install or not, and i mean not just the apk, rather you installed it and set recovery mode in the ui, right?

That is the thing... The MotoRevoeryX2.apk asks for Root. IT gets root access... Says Installing recovery... Then I plug in AC adapter and tray and reboot and it just goes to the stock recovery....
Thoughts?

Hmmm... odd. Personally I'd probably start over and reflash from the beginning, then get root access, then load the recovery bootstrap and try again.
With that said, I'm using MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk with MD5 has as:
88c4943564a1437d69d9fc2198e58636 MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk
If yours is not that one, I can post it for download. At least I know this one works on my Photon 4G.
Yea I started over a few times...
Question;
If I RSD the USCC 2.3.5 .SBF should i still retain settings? aka WIFI networks etc? It is almost like it didn't take the first SBF correctly...
This is the 4th Photon I have done. Only 1 i have had prb with.
Can you post that recovery for me?

. . . should i still retain settings?/QUOTE]
Well, depends on the SBF, I guess, but seems plenty possible if it does not reformat the data partition. If it really kept everything, I'd to a factory reset just to be sure no garbage was left behind.
Anyway -- you can download the bootstrap recovery I saved off here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pirh10pspz9m7re/MOTODX2_Bootstrap_signed.apk

I am still puzzled on this one...
I am gonna go with a recommendation to
NOT FLASH THE US CELLULAR 2.3.5 SBF on Sprint 2.3.5 phones....
I just got another one and did not flash the US Cellular 2.3.5 SBF and all is well.. (unlocked GSM radios etc..)
FYI
