hi all.
I have a big problem with my Motorola Photon 4G which is under the 2.3.5 version.it is unbootable and crashes on startup screen stroke M.i can enter to the recovery.i'am noobie on motorola android smartphone brand , I 'd like to know if there would be a way to flash it as is done with samsung with ODIN.thanks to all
To flash the SBF, you need to get it into Fastboot mode. Are you able to do that?
Yes i think but i'm not sure.
is it vol down and power?and vol up to ente fasboot? yes i can.
how can i flash the sbf?
You need the RSD Lite software. Download drivers and RSD Lite from here.
You will also need the SBF.
Install RSD Lite on a Windows machine.
Run RSD Lite.
Start the device in Fastboot mode and connect to the PC. The phone should appear in RSD Lite once connected.
Select the SBF and install.
It takes some time for the installation to finish. The SBF will be about 2.5 GB in size.
i can't download drivers 32bit but i found motorola device manager which i'am using.
for the SBF i found this one here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145.i want to use the full SBF and following the Step by step 2.3.5 unbrick for Photon in the thread.Or do you think i can use this SBF to follow your step???
The full SBF from the link you've shared is for the Motorola Electrify, not Photon. That should be your last resort.
Do you have a Photon-specific SBF? If not, use the one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2894168.
You can use RSD Lite to flash any SBF by the way.

The SBF of your link is 2.3.4 - 4.5.1A-1 SUN - 198_7 but i was in 2.3.5 - 4.5.1A-1 SUN - 254_13 and my bootloader is locked.
my question is that can i flash the 2.3.4 - 4.5.1A-1 SUN - 198_7 anyway?
i'am looking for the SBF 2.3.5 - 4.5.1A-1 SUN - 254_13 but no results.

I think you can flash 198_7 via RSD Lite even with a locked bootloader. No harm in trying I suppose.... If it works, you will have a perfectly working device.

Exactly. The is only that sbf for mopho 2.3.5, flash it via Rsd lite and the flashing process should end in a error because the rom is actually made for electrify. After the error message, flash the unbrick sbf then do a factory reset. Your photon should be up and running. If you have any problems, I'll be happy to help.

Cruiser i learn somewhere here that someone loose his phone doing it and i think it can be a bad idea to flash the 198_7 sbf.
Da legend i try flashing the electrify sbf but when i reboot manually after "failed flashing process" in rsd lite i see this message in the phone "failed to boot 4 starting rsd mode".i restart flashing and now it stucks on motorola dualcore screen like before.i will try flashing the "2.3.5_45.4.13ota_unbrick.sbf" via rsd lite,wipe data as u said and see if i can have change.

I have the three AT&T SBF's and I just softbricked my Atrix. I put it in RSD Mode, and went to give RSD my SBF file, but now it says on status: Error validating image file. Anyway I can fix this?
Is it an AT&T Atrix? Where did you get the SBF files from, and what version of RSD are you using?

I was using RSDLite 5.0. It seems that my SBF file was corrupted by PowerArchiver, and I was using the wrong mode of RSD on my bricked AT&T Atrix. Once I corrected those, it started working again

Oh no, isn't this the problem that tons of people are having right now? Flashing the Att 2.3.4 then flashing to any ota sbfs? There is no fix figured out now, they might find a fix later. Try to get it for warranty if you can.
9 AM My Atrix was automatically reboot ( flash fail on 1.2.6 ), I do not know why, but really happy ^ ^

Wow that's extremely interesting! You had the same error as everyone else but you left it sit and it booted anyways? I wonder if anyone else will find the same!
I tried to unlock the bootloader using RSD, which failed.
Since then my Atrix has been restarting at odd times.
I decided to do a factory reset & now i get a mssage when it restart
failed to boot 2 starting RSD mode, message & it just sits there.
I tried Andriod Recovery & get Failed to boot 2 message.
The phone does boot back in to normal mode if I restart as normal
Im on 2.2.2 Firmware on a Sim Free UK phone. Rooted.
How can i fix this?
Thanks
Looks like you have a soft brick. You can flash a stock ROM using RSD Lite.
Check this thread to find the correct firmware.
I have downloaded the T-mobile sbf but RSD isn't seeing it.
My device is on froyo - are these files gingerbread?
Ok got rsd to see file.
I flashed stock sbf file with rsd but it failed again.
Could really do with some help here, please.
Was hoping for more help than just one reply, thanks to ertz for that, especially after 70 views, Oh well.
I have sorted Atrix now & back up & running.

I just saw this. Sorry you didn't get more help. What did you do to resolve your problem? It may help someone else.
Im using Atrix MB861 Korea version
I has been using it for couple of weeks, it is rooted
i never flash any rom or doing anything related rom
this morning i notice when going SETTING > ABOUT > UPDATE, it has something to update so i downloaded it and it automatically install
but i stuck at '' failed to boot 2 starting rsd mode'' forever
i pull out the battery, it reboot and update and stuck at '' failed to boot 2 starting rsd mode'' again
i did pull out battery several times and still face that problem
anyone please help me, i have not back up my phone yet, i dont wanna lose my data (
help me plz, any comment would be appreciated
omg ok this is bad news basically after you root you shood never use ota (over the air updates ), my suggestion is to
look @the fruitcake sbf files and see if there is one for your specs and flash it with rsd lite use the stock sbf should be safest but the damage is allready done

What are you talking about? Rooting doesn't damage your phone if you then try to OTA. There is no "damage" done.
To the OP, just flash the correct factory SBF file for your phone through RSD Lite and you should be good to go. Check the Korean version of the Motorola site, (if there is one).
Example for US: http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page
I must have done something wrong cause I can't flash back to the motorola photon stock rom ( 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf ) in RSD mode. As soon as goes from execution 100% on my phone I get an error
starting RSD protocol support
svf : 106:2:1
sec_exception: b655, eddc, eb
When i reboot it says U.S.Cellular and I can't connect to the sprint network . Under model number in my phone settings it says my phone is a Motorola electrify when its a photon.
System version : 45.1.19.mb853.usc.enus
android version 2.3.5
kernel version : 2.6.32.9
I already tried pudding removal , hard reset through android recovery and tried flashing 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf .
I could really use some help from someone asap !! SOS !!
Thanks in advance

I just read some more forums and i guess i'll just have to wait cause i'm not alone on making the mistake of flashing the 2.3.5 pudding for us cellular.
fingers are crossed

next time be more careful and aware of what you are flashing. since you flashed the USCC 2.3.5 SBF you are officially LOCKED FOR GOOD. there is no way out and no way to flash any other sbf file. your only options are to wait for a 2.3.5 unlock. or get a replacement phone. the unlock may never happen. so i think you know what you need to do.
Send back to motorola for replacement that's what I did.
