droid razr maxx 4.1.2
This is what my phone says when it turns on! encryption was interrupted and cant complete, as a result the data on your phone is no longer accessible.
to resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. when you set up your phone after the reset, youll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account.
it gives me a reset button but when I press it my phone just restarts and says the same thing???
I had just rooted it using razr blade and it worked great but I wanted to have clockworkmod to be able to do any recoverys if needed. I downloaded a bootstrap recovery that I found and it worked fine. I did this because rom manager didn't support my phone, I gave it superuser access and clicked boot in recovery to make sure that it worked. it did, and looked just like clockworkmod recovery even said clockworkmod recovery. anyways I clicked normal boot to restart my phone and now im here... any ideas on what I can do??? I don't have any backups yet I didn't get that far.
Have you considered using a different recovery? BMM and Safestrap (i use the latter) are current ,proven, and reversible. As for correcting the problem, I'd just wipe the slate clean. That's what RSDlite is for.

im pretty sure im screwed, its cause i cant turn on usb debugging to connect to anything ive been trying everything all day and no luck so idk..
You were using RSDlite in fastboot mode, and the computer didn't recognize the device? USB debugging isn't an option when you're outside of the OS, so it's just a matter of having the right USB cable and Moto drivers installed.

i downloaded my 4.1.2 firmware and put it in rsd and then it un zipped. my computer reads my phone when i plug it in. and in fastboot it says that its connected to usb but rsd doesnt read
So after a couple days of browsing every page on the internet to find a solution on why RSD lite woudnt read my phone and still not coming up with an answer, I decided to try it on my desktop which runs windows 7 vs windows 8 on my laptop and wouldnt you know it my phone popped right up and i was able to use RSD lite to flash my phone back to stock 4.1.2. thanks to luckiestnut419, phone is good to go. Thanks for all your help man.

Yes, while I understand there have been many threads in regards to RSD Lite not recognizing phones, hear me out as none of them have been helpful to me. I recently got into the world of rooting and flashing roms, so like a fool yesterday I flashed Eclipse v.1 over 2.3.3. Ever since I have been experience the wifi connectivity issue, so reasonably I tried to use RSD lite to get the 2.3.4 sbf onto my X2. However, using RSD 4.5.3 I kept getting a status message along the lines of "chipset type 53 is not supported." Trying it again also with the 2.3.3 sbf, I tried using RSD v.4.9 and 5.3.1, however neither would recognize my phone. Now I am beginning to encounter other issues with Eclipse (my own fault) and I would greatly appreciate any input. All drivers are up to date for anyone who was going to throw that out again.
Be sure the machine you are running rsd on has plenty of disk space.
I got wierd errors a while back when i was running next to full on the HD RSD makes a temporary file before it flashes.

I have more than enough HD space. When running 4.5.3 it has the chipset error as the device status when paired with any sbf.
Are you running RSD as administrator? Maybe that could be a problem but i dont know.
If you are rooted and have installed system recovery try and flash the 2.3.4 zip aligned update in recovery and see if that works

Just tried both ways in 4.9, neither were successful
It might be quicker if you enumerated, step-by-step, how you last sbf'ed ... that way, the more experienced amongst us can determine where you went wrong.
Oh, and throw in details on your computer's OS, too ... I hear there have been some problems using RSD Lite with Windows 7.

I attempted to sbf based on the standard method from what I've seen in threads: run RSD (various versions were attempted), select the sbf, start the RSD protocol on my phone THEN plug it into the usb, and so on.

Signature verification sounds like the file corrupted. Try redownloading the sbf file through Firefox or chrome and unzip the file with 7zip.

I have tried both methods of recovery, bootstrap and stock as well as the power+ vol up method and the method of accessing the RSD protocol through the vol down boot method. I have also tried reinstalling drivers as well. I also don't believe time was an issue with RSDlite as I gave each version a good 20 minutes to try to recognize my phone (excluding 4.5).

I will try that, I have yet to try 7zip. Also when I try to access the 2.3.3 sbf zip file from recovery it does not show up as an option.
The versions of RSD you are using are older, I've been using 5.5 without any issues. If the phone is not being recognized it could be a driver issue on your windows machine. My older computer cannot recognize my phone i think the USB is 1.0.
Use version 5.x.x and higher...

Try uninstall and reinstall drivers.
Kill all internet connection ((saw someone say before this was causing problems somehow...worth a shot..I think it had to do with when installing drivers it was doing something to find other drivers..not to sure but.couldn't hurt to try))

Ok so I messed around too much with my first Android.
What I did..
I have an AT&T 4.1.2.6 device.
I didn't succeed in upgrading the version through RSD, but I did manage to unlock the bootloader (using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871), and installed Tenfar's CWM recovery.
Then I put this CM7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574
I loaded it from zip and rebooted and the device was just stuck on the Motorola logo. I didn't wipe or did anything else before rebooting.
SO I tried to RSD to version 4.1.57, it started ok, but then FAILED, and that's where I am at now. My device is recognized by the RSD software.
What do I do? Should I RSD back to 4.1.2.6? This one http://gititbit.ch/asbf1
Can this be fixed or did I kill it already?

Use RomRacer's CWM; tenfar's is too old and is obsolete.
Try "wipe user data", "wipe cache" and "wipe dalvik cache" before flashing CM. Most likely your problem is that you didn't wipe.
You shouldn't use RSD/SBF after you unlocked your phone, it's not quite safe - it could hard brick your phone if you upgrade then downgrade. See the stickies like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408
Instead, you can use "Fruit Cakes" if you really want to go back to MotoBlur: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
Do you have a backup before flashing CM? If yes, try to use the recovery you have right now to revert (restore) your phone to its previous good working state.
As long as you're able to access fastboot and recovery, your phone isn't dead. Check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 etc if you don't know what to do. Make sure you understand what you're going to do before you do anything to your phone.

Thanks for trying to help..
So if I did the CM7 and then I tried to RSD/SBF the 1.83 so it's possible I hard bricked it..
I didn't backup anything, because I didn't make any changes to my phone yet, never really used it..
So now I need to download FruitCakes 1.83? or higher?
How do I load it? with the RSD? I don't have access to CWM so I don't think I can use them.
I think that's the only way I have to communicate with my phone right now is RSD.
Keep in mind I'm a noob in this.
I don't think I have access to the flashboot and recovery.. that by pressing volume down, right? It doesn't get there.
Only thing I can access now is RSD... :/

When you power up the phone, hold "Volume Down" key, see if you can see "fastboot" on the screen... if you see it, try click the volume down key again a few more time, see if you can find "Android Recovery"...
if you can see it, hit "Volume Up" key to enter recovery, from there you'll be able to flash anything you like... this way you can recover your phone.
The other way is to use "moto-fastboot" when the phone is in "fastboot" mode.
Holding volume down doesn't help, it won't go to fastboot.
Can anything be done?
Not sure what else can be done. Search the forum see if you can find any hint. I heard success stories by returning phones in warranty to at&t customer help center (not warranty center).
I'm not in the US and can't return it for warranty :/
Any ideas anyone?? Will trying RSD to 1.2.6 **** it more or no harm in trying??

Flash an sbf of gingerbread with pudding. DON"T TRY TO FLASH ANY sbf without pudding our you will HARD BRICK.
After that you should be back on track. You will then be able to flash Romracer's latest CWM recovery and use that for flashing roms.
In order to not get stuck on Moto logo after flashign roms, do a full wipe before and after flashign a rom.
Good luck.
Can you give me a link to the correct SBF with pudding? I'm pretty much a noob at this.
I'm not sure that I didn't hard brick it already by trying to flash the 1.8.3 before..

4.5.91 sbf with pudding
If it lets you enter RSD mode, means you haven't hard bricked yet. Be careful.
This is yet another reason why people should research things thoroughly before jumping into something they don't know much about just because it looks fun.

So I'm now 4.5.91 with pudding and root Android 2.3.4 - Which guide do I follow to installs Roms the right way? which recovery do I install?
ANYTHING else I should know before I do something stupid?
Congrats!
Try to install RomRacer CWM first before install any ROM. It's a line of defense in case anything bad happens to your phone. Read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600 first if you don't know much about your phone. Don't hurry, take your time and make sense of what you've read.
Let's make sure I understand correctly.
The SBF I installed with pudding and root means my device is already unlocked right?
It says unlocked on top left corner when I start the device.
So all I need now is to install RomRacer's CWM and go by the instructions - true?

Yes, you only need to unlock your phone once. Unlock won't go away unless you RSD flash a rom without pudding. Which you shouldn't cause that will most likely hard brick your phone.
And yes, now you can install RomRacer's Recovery or koush's Rom Manager (Clockworkmod Recovery) from the market, that can be flashed without even entering fastboot. So easiest option right there.
With CWM (especially koush's Rom Manager ) flashing roms is super easy.
When I try to run koush's Rom Manager it says "superuser was not found at /system/bin/su or /system/xbin/su" and that I must root my device.
How can it be not rooted with the SBF I used? as I said when I open the device the bootloader says"unlocked"

"unlocked" doesn't mean "rooted".
Unlocked means the bootloader is unlocked.
Rooted means you have the capability to gain "root" privilege (a Unix-like concept)
A phone can be rooted while locked. Vice versa.
Ya but I figured the pudding SBF was with root, or so it said.
Anyway all is well now.. I'm on CM7 at last

The CM7 thread should have the google apps link, you can install from there. After Market is installed, you'll be able to install gmail and maps.

I WILL KEEP THIS THREAD UPDATED UNTIL I EITHER GET MY "PHOTONSTEIN" WALKING AGAIN OR BURRIED IN THE BONE YARD WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
UPDATE! I have had successful communication with the photon through android-sdk. I don't however have the correct img file to flash to the phone. Does anyone have any ideas?
Okay, I know I am somewhat of a newbee at this. But I followed all the steps and wound up with a brick. All I get is "Failed to boot 3" then "Starting RSD mode".
I tried flashing the "1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf" and it fails telling me that it failed to re-enumerate.
Am I screwed or does anyone have a suggestion?

You may also want to reinstall the drivers for your photon. I had the same problem and a quick driver reinstall fixed it.
It appears that I have either damaged or deleted the bootloader. Sprint won't touch it with a 10 foot pole. Does anyone know how to get the bootloader back to the device?

Are you still getting "starting RSD mode"?
If you are, I think you're safe. I guess you're one of the many of us who flashed 2.3.5 pudding into their Photons. If that's the case you can follow a small tutorial i did here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21015556&postcount=6
Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.
You shouldn't need the bootloader at all actually. I had the same issue with my phone. I had to remove the SIM card and the SD card. Then when you put the battery back in Hold down the Power button and the Volume up button until it says RSD lite mode or something along those lines. Then connect it to your computer and run the RSD lite and select the proper factory ROM that you need to install back on your MOPHO. You will lose root access but your phone should be right back to all of the factory settings. I have done this multiple times to fix error that I got because I am new to Rooting my device and everything as well. I will give you links to where I was able to find some addition support as well.

I'm not sure. I followed a link somewhere in the threads on this forum.

Are you still getting "starting RSD mode"?
If you are, I think you're safe. I guess you're one of the many of us who flashed 2.3.5 pudding into their Photons. If that's the case you can follow a small tutorial i did here:

Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

Well now my battery is dead and I don't have any way of charging it unless I take it to a Sprint store and have them charge it over night.
Thanks for all the help!

You can cut the end off of a charger strip the wires red on pos+ black on neg- and plug it in but don't leave it on longer than 20 min at a time cuz battery might over heat

I can start the flash process but after a while the following message appears on the screen of the Photon: "sec_exception: b655, eddt, eb".
Then the flas process out and displays the following:
"Failed flashing process. Phone(000): Phone did not re-enumerate after RAM-downloader was sent. (0x703E); phone connected.
Has anyone seen this and recovered from it?
P.S. This is all with or without the SIM card and SD card inserted or removed.

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.
I wonder if you downloaded an incomplete sbf. Try flash 198-7sbf one more time or see if you can enter android recovery and wipe. Also. Check the motorola driver is installed correctly.

Thanks a lot
i will try that right now
PM me if you have any issues. I've fastbooted 3 or 4 times now.
just the VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.xml is over a GB size, and it is taking forever to get downloaded, just waiting for it, otherwise i have everything else ready...
Thanks in advance buddy
do u think i should install safestrap? i mean after booting? is it safer?
I've used CWM and Safestrap, both work well. Safestrap gives you the advantage of basically being able to dual boot your system while leaving your primary ROM untouched, good for testing and messing around. I don't personally care for CWM, some people like it, just a matter of preference.
Yeah, the file is huge but once you have the fastboot files you don't have to worry about bricking your phone as long as you can get into AP Fastboot mode.
Quick question...did you try to wipe data/cache? When I had my DX ran into this same issue and needed to do a simple wipe. Just a thought.

I have a simmilar problem as described above. But my problem is that when I try to flash the ROM via RSD, it flashes just one file, and then I get an error stating that I am low on battery...
Is there anyway to charge it whitouth buying a factory cable?
The method of velocity doesn't work either for me.
I feel lost whitouth my motorola
Fixed the problem with a factory cable. If someone in Switzerland needs help, PM me!
After downloading this rom and thinking everything would be just fine when moving to CM7 on my brother's rooted Photon, I come to a boot loop! I tried to use RSDLite to flash a SBF over to the phone, it fails, I try to use Android' Recovery to flash a new rom, fails, and then I try to factory reset and wipe the phone, FAILS! I have no clue what to do here.
I am so used to my Sensation 4G and everything is so much simpler on it, but I have no clue what I am doing with this Photon. Can someone please point me in the right direction of what I need to do? I need some real answers! I've tried tons of guides here on the forums but nothing seems to work!
Normally I could use CWM to fix it all up, but I never could find it for this phone!
Help!
bump. Please, need help.

if you dont have cwm installed, i assume that you flashed that rom while in bootstrap recovery because you didnt state that the phones bootloader was unlocked.That particular rom is an unlocked only rom, which is why you're stuck in that loop. If I'm right and you flashed that rom via bootstrap, you should be able to get back into it by powering down the phone, holding power and volume down, then using the volume down key to cycle through the options until you hit 'android recovery', then press volume up to boot into it.
At that point, go to mounts and storage, mount usb storage while phone is plugged into your pc, and place this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648297
On your sd card. After this, go back into mounts and storage and wipe data, system, and cache. Flash the rom you just placed onto your sd card and reboot.
Again, this is all asuming you installed bootstrap recovery, if I'm wrong let me know and ill try to help you further.
I forgot to add, you're also going to need to download a stock blur kernel and place that on your sd card aswell, flashing it after you flash the rom. I can't remember where to find the stock blur kernel but give me a second and ill try to find it for ya.
I don't find that very professional. I think the best you can do is tell me which section it belongs in. At least Acvice offered help...
Thanks you so much! I knew I would have to flash the stock stuff, but I just couldn't find it! Yes, I used bootstrap as I thought it was the only means of getting into cwm. I wont be screwing around after this. Only problem is, the phone is dead! I need to charge it again lol. Thanks for helping. Ill let you know the outcome later.

So I am downloading that rom you gave me, seems like a good one, now I am just waiting on the Kernel, have you found it yet? Oh, and I couldn't mount my phone through recovery, so I just took the SD card out and did it myself.
EDIT: I tried to install the rom, I got an E: signature verification failed and the installation aborted. I've also tried this with other roms before. What is making this happen?

Meh, you just flashed something you shouldnt have is all. It honestly happens to all of us. You learn the most by screwing up your phone haha.. Figured i would have you try that method as it would have gotten you a nice fast rom and also fixed your problem. But it looks like youre just unlucky. Were just gonna have to get ya back on stock by flashing an SBF.
1) Download the Windows Moto drivers and install them. Make sure you choose 32bit or 64bit, respectively. (quick google search)
2) Download RSD Lite (quick google search)
3) Download the SBF located here and unzip it.
Use this video to guide you through. Some of his links are outdated which is why i linked the one above. If you are used to ODIN on Samsung devices, you'll probably already know what to do as it's the same kind of program. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
I've tried RSDLite with an Sbf before, it never succeeded.

Is it possible to flash an sbf with a low battery? If not, how can I charge this thing?
