Indeed, I try to put the ROM 2.3.5 Photon my original because I tried to put the ROM Electrify but I have no wifi ... so the original hand seems be the best alternative. The bootloader is locked from the OTA 2.3.5 so I can not put JB.
If you know how I can do and I can find the necessary ... I'm interested

A guy just got his photon 4g working with wifi and cellular both by following the methods given in that thread.. hope this helps.. and keep one thing in mind.. you cant unlock the bootloader if you are on 2.3.5.
I do not mind but I can not install bootstrap ...
I get an error every time
I reflash the sbf 2.3.5 USC_19 and the wifi works
Super User has not seem to work and bootstrap still does not install.

what error do you get?
I am not a developer just have some experience on photon 4g as i have been through alot locked etc things with this phone
I will guide you through it
NOTE: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE OR ETC YOU DO THIS METHOD ON YOUR OWN RISK!
First of all flash the rom that works well on your phone do a complete factory reset and Download this torpedo direct zip which i attached for you and remove all the Superuser apps if necessary from torpedo zip then RE-ROOT your phone with the torpedo method you just have to type some commands in it... It will guide you through it.
Then download droidx2 bootstrap you have to download it first then install it through a file explorer Root is required
as soon as you install the bootstrap apk .. Install it wait for it to confirm then hook your phone with a Wall Socket charger (AC Charger) and allow permission to bootstrap then in bootstrap press to go in recovery which will be the second option in it.. your phone will be rebooted to bootstrap from there flash the sbf you want to..! DONE!
Note: Make sure you flash the correct SBF if you flash any wrong SBF you might get bricked! Good luck :good:

"Do not forget to calibrate the battery - it means - install, boot, (maybe reboot), charge 100%, wipe battery stats and /data/battd folder, discharge to 0% without any reboot (but you can use it ofcourse), plug your charger while holding power button to bypass charge only mode, do not unplug your charger or do not reboot, until it is 100% and use it anyhow you like...
Then you can complain about battery. It means, not sooner than 2 days after installation.
This calibration is not needed because of battery (it is lithium battery), but because of not very good Moto power statistics management. Battery can be charged anytime you like, but the phone can show only estimated battery values, based on charging and discharging.
You can use this Battery Fix app for wiping."
make sure you follow these steps.. this must be the problem and make sure you are using a proper recovery i think bootstrap can not flash these types of zips.. i guess dont know correctly

what happened? homebasephoton1.5 rom. I tried to install it but after I reboot I got failed to boot message........
It just means that the phone is unable to boot and is starting the fail-safe RSD mode... basically allowing you to use RSD Lite to flash a new SBF (basically phone image) to the phone to restore it. Are you rooted/unlocked?

Sorry that I didn't reply any sooner. This is what I did, since when the phone is with that problem won't charge the battery nor with charger nor with USB, so, I ran out of juice... I had to get an universal charger to charge the battery and then I flash it with RSD. I've flashed this file 154_5 sbf, once I got in, I flashed the updated one. It worked pretty good.
Let me know, regards.
when I am flashing sbf I have to remove my external sd card otherwise it wont work at all.
I changed to Alien Rom.after changing to alien rom I was facing a lot of FCs.So tried RSD lite with latest SBF.Now I am stuck at "Failed to boot 4 starting RSD mode"
From what I read from forums my phone is soft bricked.
"Failed to boot 4" is when a filesystem is missing a signature
The solution is to flash 154 sbf using RSDlite 5.5 version with a fully charged battery using the usb at the back of your computer.
Once you are successful flashing 154 you can update with latest SBF.
The important points are below.
1. Fully charged battery. (use an external battery charger as Photon does not charge batery in boot mode.
2. Used RSDlite 5.5 version
3. Use USB at back.
4. Use 154 not the latest version of SBF.
5. Make sure the process is not interrupted until the process is completed
Failed to boot 2
Im having the same problem and reflashing 154-5 doesnt work. Instead phone says "SVF:106:1:2
sec_execption: b655, eddc, eb.
It always fails on flash and re-enumeration.

just see what you can do by visiting this thread. no guarantees.
Ok so here's the thing I obviously have a Motorola Atrix 4g and I am from the United States. I have rooted my device via Pete's Motorola root tools, I have accessed my webtop hack and tether. I've been research for about a week straight on how to install CM7, but the CM7 that I really want is EVOGP's whch has facial recognition capabilities (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1382934&highlight=facial+recognition). I am currently running stock Gingerbread. I have previously tried t0dbld's way of installing for the latest version of CM7 (Ba2TF) based on his installation instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257574&highlight=facial+recognition). Unfortunately I failed and ended up wiping all my contacts and starting brand new. The portion that I do not see is the second step :
1.)Reboot phone into CWM recovery (Power Button + Vol Down), press Vol Down until you see "Android Recovery" then press Vol Up to enter.
2.) Go to Backup & Restore and create a backup (this may take some time)
I dont see where to go for Backup and restore to create a back. It too me a while to figure out that had to press the both volume buttons just to toggle. But this was the first area, that was blurry. If someone could explain step by step how to get to "Backup &Restore and create a backup" would be great.
Next while apparently not backing up my rom, I decided since I already had a rom and I wanted CM7 that wouldnt be important. So I try to install the Ba2tf.zip via the bootloader screen which located on my sd card. So I go "apply blah blah to Sd card" I see the Ba2tf.zip and I press the power button to unzip the file or install. The process I see starts unloading the zip file then starts to installing the file, everything is great. Then it says "installation failed".
If someone can tell me what I did wrong and give me a step by step process of what I should and be seeing, I would greatly appreciate this help. As you cant tell I really want CM7 especially EVOGP's. Please help!!! Step by step please!!!!
Have you unlocked your phone using fruitcake? Which CWM are you running?
It's Pudding, not fruitcake.

Is your bootloader unlocked? If not, then unlock it. Search for pudding in the Dev Forum.
After that, you need the right recovery (CWM)
Which recovery are you using? You should flash romracer's latest CWM. Most of all the ROMs are using the latest Romracer's recovery so you won't go wrong with using that.
Then from there --- you should be good to go.......
I had no idea you had to unlock, I thought unlocking and rooting was the same thing. And I a bit new with lingo does CWM refer to Clockwork Mod? If so I downloaded the standard free Rom Manager on the market. I assume judging by your message I should probably unlock my phone using fruitcake? If I do can you post simplified link on how to install fruit cake?
Follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
The instructions provide links for Pudding and romracer's recovery, which are both needed to flash any custom Rom.
Here's the link for CM7:

I have installed rsdlite. Where can I find the drivers that I'm supposed to install? Or does it come bundled already?
Here:
http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Also, after you install the drivers it helps to plug it in and then go through all the USB options in the drop down and allow each one to install as well. (eg. Windows Sync, USB Mass Storage, Portal)

Yeah i remember downloading this a while back.... I'm currently at Proper Recovery 5B and my command prompt says <waiting for device> and it wont allow me to type 5C.... Do I choose either A,B or C then pick D? And I'm currently on my bootload screen and it says Unlocked in the top left corner
Does anybody know anything of this nature?
Someone help I'm getting worried now
Now my phone shut off and the charging light is on....
I typed in 5c and it says it's not found... i tried 5d and that didnt work <waiting for devices> .... my phone was unresponsive even to the power button so i pulled the battery and turned it on it brought me back to the bootload screen that said unlock in the top left. my phone is now charging on the normal house charger and i turned it back on it's responsive I dont have any of my cards in so it's showing motoblur
Does this mean my phones unlocked and I should just go ahead and install the CM7?

The Rom manager one..
And do i need to download the FB or the MFB version ?
and when i go to fastboot i need to connect to the PC right ? XD
You can try with the Rom Manager CWM but if there any issues your best bet would be to try the other one.
Either one should work but I have read that the "MFB" (moto-fastboot) version is recommended because it can handle larger partitions such as webtop.
Yes, while the phone is turned off press and hold Volume down then power button, keep holding vol down until it says "Fastboot" and then release vol down and press vol up. (Sorry if that seems redundant if you already knew all of that) Now plug the phone into the computer and then just run the batch script and follow the prompts.

Yes, just a side note though, when flashing fruitcakes (which is highly recommended against sbf) you will need to flash the webtop separately (the files will be all together). Ususally after you have had booted the phone up at least once. So something like this:
1. (Moto-)fastboot wipe
2. Boot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache, cache, and data (for good measure)
3. Flash fruitcake
4. Boot (completely)
5. Reboot to recovery and flash webtop (if you need it)
6. Boot and enjoy

My friend has his Atrix BL unlocked, custom rom, and RR recovery, he has a recovery nand of his phone before the new rom, if he went into the recovery and recovered his backup will it revert everything okay?

Hi, sorry to xda for posting in bad sections in the past but i am dumb hence my problem please please please help
I have mb860 i think i have emara as firmware? when i browse through my backup files from titanium backup in text mode i see android 2.3.4 then emara and its version...
I cant fully check this all because my phone is not working and only boots into android recovery. I have stock, my bootloader is not unlocked. I tried flashing over cwm into the recovery partition and got an error basocally saying my bl was locked, so i tried some fixes with fastboot but both methods gave me "(bootloader)OEM unlock not implementable"
So i dont know how to unlock bl, which means i dont know how to open a adb shell and move around my phone...
Also i got rsd lite (i never used this when i programed for android) because i wanted to push an entire sbf.. Only problem is every sbf link is broken for my version that i find and even xda links to a filefsctory depository wich is littered with actual viruses...
My head really hurts so if anyone can help im so sorry if im not clear i will try hard to explain just ask.... I havnt slept since it happened about 40 or 50 hours ago?
Oh yeah what happened?
I moved an app called "system tuner" out of /sys and instantly got notifications telling me applications were force closing... They were back to back and i could not long hold home and just move system tuner back and ignore them, i tried and almost made it to move system tuner back but then all i saw was a vertical display of my battery being charged....... Now i can boot into android recovery mode and nvflash fastboot rsd and about 7 more...
I thought i had luck with usb enumeration and that would make it go as usb mass storage and i could do something. And my usb driver read it as a usb storage device but it didnt work.
I have a backup of user and syte, data by backup titanium on my pc thats how i saw i had 2.3.4... The update.zip backup is on my phone... Speaking of that can i somehow fix my problem by putting a .zip file on my phone? To repopulate it? I think its all gone????
EDIT: MY BLOOTLOADER IS LOCKED... IM 99%
And idk if it means anything when i plug into rsd mode, my ui on my pc tells me im connected to "se flash olympus" which is all good but it doesnt have an (imei/esn/meid) number.?????

So basically what you're saying is you have a stock device, locked bootloader, and you failed to read the directions about unlocking (pudding sbf, oem unlock, custom recovery). How do you expect to flash custom roms or custom recoveries with a locked bootloader?

Im just a noob period. Anyway i redid the process of flashing an sbf that would allow me to unlock bootloader... The 4th time i did it it worked.

Oops i m dumb ok got it!
I installed an app to change the boot animation on my Atrix 4g and when I rebooted to see it, all i get is the m logo with dual core technology under it. It is rooted and i didn't flash any new roms or anything. i wiped the cache partition from the recovery menu and also " wipe data/factory reset" but it still doesn't boot up.
its on android 2.3.6 build 4.5.141
please help me :crying:
Do you have recovery software?
Fervi
Just restore the system partition from the backup you SHOULD do before any modification and you will be good to go.
Otherwise, delete the faulty bootanimation and restore the original via adb on recovery and reboot.
There is also a no bootanimation option on build.prop, althrough I'm not sure if it's avaiable on 2.3
Enviado desde mi MB860 usando Tapatalk 2
i don't have any recovery software or backups made.
If you have fastboot option, you can install TWRP (or CWM) and then install other rom (like Motorola Atrix ICS [4.0])

So I got fastboot and everything working. I think flashing the sbf with rsd lite might work, only problem is that whenever I try to download the sbf files it takes me to some ilivid download manager. Soo anyone know where I can download the actual sbf?

I tried flashing and now when I put my phone into rsd mode its says: failed to boot 1
PwrReason: PWR_KEY_PRESS
starting fastboot protocol support
and when I try to put it into fastboot my phone comes on says something and it turns off to quickly for me to see what the text says.
and when I just power on without pressing anything it says failed to boot 1 and that same confounded dooming m logo
I feel as though my atrix is unflashable or something.

Really? the mini sbf that I'm referring to is not a full sbf. it is a 1 MB file that you should get and do to obtain root.
Where in what you have said in this entire thread did you unlock the bootloader?

Then I would highly advise that you unlock your bootloader before any more help is given to you. I don't say that in a mean way, I say that in a strong recommendation way. Without that bootloader being unlocked, there is little help we can do to get you back up and running.
