Need stock firmware - Motorola Photon 4G

Im in need of the stock sprint 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13 firmware that I can flash using RSDlite.
Yes I have searched for it.
No I havent found anything I can use.
Yes, I will be extremely grateful and hit the thanks button if you help me.
No, I will not read your reply telling me I don't need it/shouldn't use it, cant unlock or root, that it sucks, or telling me I should search for it.
I need it...I know I need it...I would really appreciate the help of someone who is better at this than me. Thank you.

thank you for the reply. Unfortunately no. i think i saw this one earlier. Maybe Im doing it wrong but i think i need an SBF file to use RSDlite. I didnt see one in here, and when i tried to let RSD unzip and flash it it failed. That may be a little beyond my expertise, I know just enough to be dangerous. Although, if i can unzip and flash the boot, system, recovery...etc files through fastboot and adb this may work. ive done that on other phones. Thanks again.

That file is for flashing in recovery.
Check the stickies to find sbf.
But there's no sprint 254 only one for the electrify.
Also,
RSD will gives you an error at the end, pull battery out replace boot up.
Good luck.

Thanks.

Ooh k Ntz tel me which version do u have?
I did manage to root the phone. And now i am using SlimICS. Thanks for help.
Care to share how you managed to root your device?
I did a search here. And i found the right CF-ROOT for my device. I used ODIN to ROOT the device. Then i used the CWM to install SlimICS rom. I dont know how to explain more. But if you search in the forum you will find almost any answer. I hope it helped.

First thing search for cf-root for your device. On the cf-root page you will understand how to identify the correct file for you. Download the file. Use odin following details about how to use it. Get your phone in download state. Volume down+power button+home button. Odin will detect your phone. After cf-root its time to install a custom rom. I use slimics look at the forum for it and the way to install it on your phone. I hope this helped you.

We see you are new here, it is pretty much expected that you spend some time reading the stickies and threads that apply to what it is you are trying to do before making these kind of threads. Add to that this topic has been discussed a lot so there is a tone of info on it. Lastly it is absolutely in your best interest to understand what it is your doing and all that information has been discussed ad nauseum.

I've done alot of reading the only thing I'm still unsure about is why theirs no kernels in the all in one kit anymore. In the video he made there's 2 or 3 choices but when I downloaded it the kernel files empty. I don't know if its something about the new update, but I havnt been able to find anything about it.

You are missing the point. You made 2 threads withing 2 hours and you PM'd me. Instead, you could've made one thread and placed everything there and wait for a response. Patience is a virtue.
I am a nice guy as you saw in the forums. I do not do technical support via PM. I do help around the forum, just not in my PM.
Since you are new to the forum, I'm just explaining how it works around here so you don't get flamed or anything. Some developers do not like to do tech support via PM, some don't mind. However, majority of them don't. Take that into consideration next time.

Yeah I get where your coming from, I'm sure you get tons of pms about the same stuff over and over. So sorry about that. I don't mean to fill up the forum with post that have already been covered too. Your tool, from what I've read, seems like the safest easiest way to root the amaze. It's my first time ever doing this sort of thing so I just want to be sure I don't mess anything up. Could you answer my question about no kernels being in your kit anymore? Do I just need to download one and put it in the file or what? And if so is there anything else That was taken out and needs to be downloaded that I might've missed?
Thanks.
I think I finally have all the steps down.
1) download winrar
2) download tool and extract data folder to my desktop or wherever
3) turn USB debugging on phone
4) download the rom I want and put it into the kernel section of the data folder.
5) plug in phone
6) follow steps 1-5
7) put unlock_code.bin in the data folder
8) flash recover (should I use the 4ext, TWRP 2.1.0, or find another one online?)
9) flash kernel/rom I picked
10) boot into recovery
11) boot into boot loader
12) relock boot loader (how do I get into fast boot to do this?)
Please let me know if I'm missing ANYTHING in those steps. If I'm not mistaken I should be finished after completing all these?
Thanks again for all the help guys! im just a noob that needs some help. Haha

All the steps are correct, except for 10-12. You do not need to relock the bootloader. It will only cause more problems.
ALSO, flash the ROM first, then flash the kernel.

So what should I do after flashing the rom?
Also, dont most of the roms already have kernels in them so I won't have to flash both but just the rom?
Thanks a lot!

If you want to use a custom kernel, then you can. If not, just flash the Custom ROM and you will be fine.

Oh I almost forgot my last question, which recovery would you suggest using? The 4ext, TWRP 2.1.0, or is there a better one I should download?

awesome video! You just made me so much more confident about doing it lol. So the only difference im guessing is since you didn't flash a kernel I just flash that after the recovery and finish the process. You honestly have no clue how big of a help you've been!

i need help plzz

I just got a new galaxy note i717 and I don't have a pc atm, and I want to know if its possible if I can put a jellybean Rom update on my i717 without a pc? If so, how? I want an upgrade from ics, Ty so much for answer and help!
Flashing CWM usually requires a program called Odin that not only enables root access to your phone but other things as well. With CWM there is no need for a computer just an SD card for safety then you can follow flashing instructions!

I suggest you take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740367
All the links don't work, thanks though, but is there any links that work? Thanks a million
Seriously? I just tried no less than 10 links on the page (including the ones that you need) and they worked fine. What method are you using to access xda? I'm kind of concerned that if you can't get the links to work, your phone may be the next non working thing in your life.
I suggest you spend some time reading before acting. I'd hate if your next thread is a "Help I've bricked my phone" thread. Good luck and happy flashing
