Ok so here is my sob story. I was trying to flash my Droid X2 down to 2.3.4 so that I could root it and install eclipse. However during the flashing process the battery died! I charged the battery (with an external charger) and tried to reboot the phone but it is stuck on the Motorola screen. I can pull up a menu by holding the up volume button. I have gotten it into the Android recovery mode and cleared the cache and tried to do a factory reset, but that didn't work.
Next I tried to re-flash, but every time I try it fails at the BP pass through. I have even tried it on different computers with the same results (BP pass through)! I have the most recent RSD Lite and the newest Motorola drivers. I have found that I can select the No BP on that first menu and it will boot the phone. Is there anyway to fix the phone so it will boot normally? Or do I now own an expensive paperweight...
eclipse 2.3 needs to be installed on 2.3.5, all other roms require 2.3.4
failure at bp pass through is almost always a drivers issue
either try ezSBF 2.3.4, then use 2.3.5 update.zip
or try my driver issues link on my page

I am experiencing a similar problem with my DX2 as well where it will only boot with "No BP". I've tried installing different versions of stock sbfs through RSD lite on Windows 7 and Windows XP all giving me the BP pass through FAIL. I tried different RSD lite versions and even different motorola drivers. I then tried the ezSBF method which gives me no errors, but I still get the same "Modem did not power up (3)" error on startup. I tried rooting it even though I had problems and it worked. I figured that I'd try to install a rom to see if that would fix my problem, but I can't get into "System Recovery" when I reboot. Oddly enough I also can't get out of Airplane mode even when I have it turned off. The wifi works, the radio doesn't which is normal in airplane mode. Any suggestions? Thanks.
did you verify md5 for sbfs?
using rsd lite 5.7 or newer?
did you check device manager, for errors, right after you get a bp pass through failure?
if yes for all of those, likely a hardware failure, and nothing can be done.

I just verified md5 with the 2.3.4 sbf which matched, Froyo didn't match, and 2.3.5 matched. Version 2.3.5 GB is currently on the DX2 because I used "DX2Batchroot_2013.v2.exe".
I tried using rsd lite 5.7 and then 6.1.6.
I get a "QHSUSB_DLOAD" error at 99% completion, then my DX2 flickers and I eventually get a FAIL from "no bp pass through".
Airplane is stuck trying to turn off and rebooting doesn't turn it off; only wiping data/cache turn it off. The cell signal is "x'd out" displaying no bars.

Hey guys, I just got a Motorola Photon that I was trying to install the Photon Laser P.ROM
I think I messed up trying to install the SBF file with RSD Lite. (Was following these intructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666 but I forgot to restart the phone into RSD mode the first time I did it).
I proceeded to install the CWM Boostrap loader and boot into recovery and try to install the Photon Laster P.ROM. The ROM had appeared to install fine, but when waiting for it to boot for the first time it got stuck in a boot loop where it hung at the Motorola Logo (After the Dual Processor screen).
I went back and re-read instructions and realized I didn't boot into the RSD mode when installing that part, but when I went to try it again I get a "USB device not recognized error" when RSD Lite tries to re-enumerate. The screen on my Photon also gets glitchy... it's a black screen with a bunch of still noise (kinda like a bunch of polluted snow).
Can anyone point me in the direction of how to fix it?
I've tried pulling the battery and trying again. I've booted into Android recovery and whiped Data and tried again, but I'm still stuck.
When I boot the device into RSD mode and I try to run RSDLite with the SBF file from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666) it creates the image then just keeps giving me that glitched screen look. I've tried other USB ports, other cords, other laptops.
edit: I can't seem to boot into CWM either, if I have my phone plugged into the wall and turn it on it either stalls at the Dual Core screen, or the screen after that with the pulsing logo.
Go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1250697 and watch the video about un-bricking your device. you just have to flash the stock sbf file.

Video points to this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666 I had already tried this sbf file yesterday. When I try to flash to it, the phone reboots after creating the image and just goes to a glitched looking screen. RSDLite then failed to re-enumerate.
The video suggests trying different cables or usb ports. I did both of those and even tried a different computer.
edit: Also, the XDA thread linked above has a broken link to its sbf file.
Getting the same issue. Tehxno where u able to fix?
edit: error fixed by downgrading to 154 and then updating from there.
I'm having the same issue although my phone has now been hard reset (with some unfortunate signs of root/rom) and is trying to go thru intitial setup (touch the android) AND IT WILL NOT GO PAST THAT POINT. Just keeps force closing every app in the book.....an fix? other than rsd and sbf

Re-enumerate Failed
I have tried EVERYTHING using all the versions with the RSD lite and I cannot get past the re-enumerate step... HELPPPPPPP please. My photon keep shutting off and I lost my WiFi.
Hello, I have a customer's Photon that is bricked beyond the grave. The story is this guy was trying to complete a software update and since then his phone bricked itself. I asked him if the phone was rooted and if he was flashing roms ect (I don't care obviously) and he repeatidly said no. So here is the deal, I would really appreciate any help.
Currently the phone can boot into fastboot mode with vol up+power.
If I hold JUST power I get
SVF: 108: 1: 2
Failed to boot 3
Starting RSD mode (never gets to starting RSD Protocol)
Now I can at least get RSD Lite to recognize the phone and begin the flashing with the SBF file ( I have tried them all btw) and the creating image process will get to 100% and then will fail at the re-enumeration process. This is with all SBF files from 154 to the latest 198_7.
I have tried multiple versions of RSD Lite, Reinstalled 64bit drivers and rebooted my PC, and have tried different USB ports. With everything I do the farthest I can go is to the re-enumeration process and RSD Lite Fails every time. I cannot even get into Stock recovery to perform a factory wipe either. The only key combos that work for me are Power only, or vol up + power. When I get into fastboot mode there is no option for anything like getting to recovery. And pressing power only gets me into a semi-working RSD mode.
I am completely stumped, I have successfully used RSD Lite in the past with no problems on multiple Motorola phones but cannot get this Photon to flash any SBF File. Please help!
This is what happens when you flash an Electrify ROM onto a Photon. There is no current solution, because you need a 2.3.5 ROM to fix it...and the only one is of course the US Cellular ROM.
Hi.please help me about idea: I Can flash file SBF (photon original) with model Electrify? I flashed but " Fail" That's why?

So i followed those steps.. but now i'm getting "failed to boot 4 starting rsd mode" error and can no longer access the fastboot menu via power +volume down. am i screwed?
Maybe I got lucky, but I used the Electrify SBF, received the same error, and the phone still worked. The initial boot up when you flash the Electrify SBF is looooong, but will boot properly. Give it some time.
I just did this last night.

Yeah I figured it out. It took 6.5 hours since prior to this problem I had zero android knowledge as far as custom roms, flashing, rooting etc. I got my first android three weeks ago and when this happened I had to learn all this **** in about 5 hours. It was a stressful day.
my thread was later updated on Jul 29 with pointer to the following thread by peetr_
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145
read this thread well and follow the steps
no need to worry.

Anymore when I try to flash with RSD, I get a PASS at the end, while I used to get the REBOOT MANUALLY. And when I try to boot the phone afterwards, it only says FAILED TO BOOT 4, STARTING RSD NODE. Sometimes it let's me plug into RSD Lite from there, sometimes it doesn't. Can't use the power button + vol down (or up either), it just goes straight to trying to boot, which fails. After several attempts and battery pulls, I eventually get it back into RSD mode, but it's a little scary that I'm kinda soft bricked for so long. Over the past couple of months it's been happening pretty much every time, no mater if I grab fresh downloads of the SBF files or different versions of RSD Lite. A few times I've had the best luck by flashing into 2.3.3 first, then updating. Anyone else seeing this?
edit: Aha! Just tried the 2.3.4 SBF file from a 3rd source, and it ran fine. <shrug> Luck of the draw?
Bricked stock MoPho. One day crashed and will no longer properly boot.
Cracked screen for a while now so warranty replacement not an option.
”Failed to boot 1” appears on M Dual Core screen on regular power attempt
“Failed to boot 1
PwrReason: PWR_KEY_PRESS
Starting Fastboot protocol support” appears on M Dual Core screen when hold Power and Volume Up
Screen briefly flashes and then goes black when hold Power and Volume Down
I have already attempted to flash stock Photon sbf file. Failed message after 99%
I have also attempted to flash stock Electrify sbf. Failed message right after process started.
Tried to flash on both regular power on and also on Power and Volume Up
Using RSD lite on windows7 64 bit.
Any ideas?
What was your build number?
Which photon sbf flashed?
Which electrify sbf flashed?
We need informations.
bull the battery out of the phone. plug phone into the pc then put the battery back in the phone. the phone should boot to the m logo and say failed to boot 1 it wont say rsd mode but its in rsd mode if you open rsd lite on the pc you will see the phone.
Files used:
1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A_SUN_USC_16.7-16-release-keys-signed-USC-US.sbf
1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_MR-3-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf
I don’t know exactly what Photon software version was on phone when bricked.
Ok, this looks like you're on the same boat with me and you need to unlock your bootloader, nothing more. If you want to use 4g, than there is no other way, only upgrading to the world of 2.3.5 sv2 locked bootloaders. But I suggest you, don't do that.
Thanks anyways guys.....still looks like I'm stuck with a worthless piece of equipment.
I don't think so, but you need to read in tegra sbf thread in development section, did you try to unlock?
having same prob and cant figure out

I just recently joined the rooting community a few days ago. I started by rooting my phone with petes rooting tool, and then sbf'd the phone back to android 2.3.4 before installing boot strap recovery on the phone. I was able to successfully flash the cyanogen 10 mod, with many exceptions. The first of these exceptions is that the phones keyboard did not work at all (unable to active phone, unable to do anything really), so I decided to look this up. I tried almost everything except installing a new gapps which I was in the process of doing when I hit a major roadblock. The problem I ran into was that when I re-installed the bootstrap recovery on the cyanogen 10 rom to get to the recovery mode in order to flash the gapps file, the phone became stuck on the M (dual core) boot screen. I was however able to access the boot menu (power+volume down), and tried to sbf the phone back to android 2.3.4 so that it would hopefully fix all of my stupidity. Little did I know that this would just increase my unluckiness with the rooting process, and the phone now will not boot into the boot screen. When I hold down (volume down+power) the phone simply flahes a screen and then will do nothing until I pop the battery out. After that, i tried simply turing the hone on by holding down just the power button, and it boot to a screen which displays "failed to boot 2" and then below that "starting RSD mode". From this screen I have tried to sbf to android 2.3.4, and also to android 2.3.5 multiple times, and every time it pops up with either an error on the computer, or "sec_exception: febe, 4e, 4e" and then an error on the computer. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! I AM OUT OF OPTIONS AT THIS POINT, AND AM STARTING TO PANIC! HELP ME!
Failed to boot, sounds like hardware failure
but you can try ezSBF, link in my list, might work.

im not completely sure why you sbf'd after rooting the first time? no need for that. i would read up a bit more if you do get it working, watch tomsgt123 's videos on youtube so you know what youre doing. and you used the Gapps for cm10.1 not our version. that is why keyboard didnt work. read read read.
after reading abain, i guess you were on 2.3.5. and thats why you sbf'd. but rooting was not needed before sbf. hope you have better luck next time .
flash will fail if battery is too low, should be a low battery error though, but maybe not every time.
if it is low battery, you will need a charged battery or a tbh programing adapter
link to TBH adapter and dx2 external charger in my list

Do you have any advice on where I should go from here then? My phone is basically a useless hunk of technology until i can get it to boot back into cyanogen 10, or sbf it back to an android operating system. The RSD mode always fails when I try to normally sfd, but i have not tried EZ sbf yet..... any other suggestions?

I can get into RSD mode, and the phone seems to SBF okay, until the SBF on the computer displays "failed", and the phone displays an error message. I am also using a fully charged battery during the whole process (my friend has the same phone so i swap batteries out with him to charge).

if you can't get it to work, you can go back, try using rsd lite, and look for Driver issues
