****help***

So I keep clicking on the link for RSDLite 5.5 and redirects me to a Mophoforums link and I am not able to find the download at all!! Am I missing something??
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
RSD Lite 5.6 here VERIFIED, just relocked my dev phone using nopudding and stock-recovery (hint, hint UbunTop users wanting 4G). It did give a flash error on the reboot phase but I'm used to that. I have yet to test RSD 5.6 on my daily as I still need to pack for my AM flight.
[Motorola Photon 4G] lroy:
i used 5.6 yesterday and flashed with no issues. dont know why i waited all this time to unlock... since august ive had the photon.
[Motorola Photon 4G] rsjc741:
I tried your method, and I have a couple of things to say.

1. The RSDLite link is dead.

2. RSDLite is extremely buggy, and often goes into bouts of unresponciveness.

3. I ended up getting a error - something about how it not compatable with the super something. (hex-code)... it refreshed itself and the message went away.

4. Any idea how to use RSDLite? I'm currently using Charge only in debugging. Should it be in debugging?

This Was Pretty Effin Easy To Go :) Sucks We Have To Lose 4g But **** It Im Usually Wi-Fi at home or office..

But Anyways

Here's The Unlocked Bootloader http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42440815/Motorola%20Photon%204g/derpunlock.sbf

Use RSD To Flash The SBF Pudding "THE FLASH WILL FAIL JUST TAKE OUT BATTERY AFTER FLASHING and Wait Patiently I DID :)

Just follow the instructions on the first post and youll be set :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] elcapt:
what is the differnt between the 10mb file and the 460mb file ?

i tried to flash the 10mb file and it didnt even go to 99% after 1 sec it says faild.
[Motorola Photon 4G] :
The 460mb is the full stock firmware you can flash that if you want to when you bought your phone aka stock

The 10mb or is it 1mb? Am I tripping?? Lol but yeah when you flash that it will fail just wait a min then take out your battery yourphone will take a million years to power up have a coffee or a couple of shots in the meantime then it should reboot as normal.

Now follow the directions in the first post on how to power up the phone in fastboot mode.

I believe is Down + Power when you see fastboot press up phone will tell you something about fastboot enabled and type in the commands

Make sure you download the stuff you need
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
You need the phone in debugging to flash anything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
And it's 1mb not 10. :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ajaba:
Can I use this for T-Mobile?

Edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands#UMTS-FDD

The [stock] photon is "missing" the 1700 frequency, which uses T-Mobile and other USA carriers

But does this unlock fix this? Will it let me use T-Mobile?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ajaba:
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-photon-4g-system-boot-file-sbf

This link still has the original 457MB SBF file
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
Nope. Unlocks the bootloader not the radio.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Weasel00:
Not sure if the OP reads this thread or not, but I could use some assistance with the electrify bootloader. Motorola released a test update to 2.3.5 to select people and now the bootloader will not unlock following the method of this thread. I put the phone in the RDS protocol and attempt to load the derpunlock.sbf and it fails. The phone shows:

SVF:106:1:2

sec_exception: b665, eddc, eb

and rsdlite fails. I am guessing there is a version problem or something.

If the OP or somebody else that knows how to help sees this, please get a hold of me through PM or on here.

Thanks!

Jared
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
weasel - if the op gives you something let me know, I would be willing to help test and everything, after it fails do you just pull your battery to boot back normally?

also thought of something, the sec_exception probably means we have the wrong sbf now since we are on 2.3.5. Is there an sbf for 2.3.5 for us electrify people now?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Weasel00:
You could be right. We need to find a bootloader that has the OEM unlock commands.

Jared
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
well if you find something let me know, the reason behind my thought is that the original pudding was written for 2.3.4. You are getting the sec error since we are on 2.3.5, I was thinking that getting an sbf for 2.3.5 would work, but i dont really know much about getting sbf's to work and all that...i'm just an network infrastructure guy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] greenmuggy:

[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
I know someone who said they have the sbf for 2.3.5. I am working on trying to get it if it will help to get the bootloader unlocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Weasel00, check your PM's later tonight. I have it (2.3.5 USCC sbf) uploading to a server now I will post the link for you via PM after around 8:30pm EST.

[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
Joker has a 2.3.5 sbf engineering leak for the photon and we have the official 2.3.5 sbf for the electrify. Any help on making this happen would be greatly appreciated. Ill buy a you a cold one or 12.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ludacon:
so it looks like the pudding unlocker gives you a boot failure?

trying to relock using the relock method in the OP, fastbooted the stock recovery image. RSD'd the nopudding sbf, got the the infamous secure motorola interface prompt, reboot to a failed to boot, whent to try the full 197 sbf and got battery low, Guess i was messing with it in RSD longer then i realized. So its charging now, but if anyone else has a method to recover from the failure to boot 2 error without going all the way back to stock, and then going through the whole shbang again that would be awesome.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mesmerbelly:
Im new to this phone i have an electrify and all this photon labeling makes me nervous does this work with electrify and where is cwm for electrify i have a mesmerize running miui so im knowledgeable just need the right direction thanks im already rooted btw and still 2.3.4 did not update
[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
I works for the electrify. I and others used it with no problems. Just don't do the update to 2.3.5 because it doesn't work after that update. There is a cwm by romracer in this section of the forum. It is for the photon but it works. Others have used it. There is also videos by qbking77 also in this section of the forum that make it easy.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mesmerbelly:
Can u recommend a rom sir
[Motorola Photon 4G] KTT16:
You should try jokers ROMs for the electrify...want sure if cm7 was available yet for you guys as well.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mesmerbelly:
Any specific flashing method i had galaxy s before this is it the same
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
Cybiks CM7 works just fine on the Electrify..
[Motorola Photon 4G] Dboy352:
I personally am in love with jokers rev0 stock rom with 1.3 overclock tweak. This phone blazes now. After first boot put quadrant standard and benched over 3300 when I first got phone it was only at 2500.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Ludacon:
ok after some more testing, it looks like the nopudding4u.sbf file gives you [or atleast gives me] a failure to boot 2, every time. i have flashed the stock recovery, and tried CWM for shiggles. Got a Failure to boot 2 everytime. Luckily i was able to recover by sbf'ing the derpunlock.sbf file again and then rebooting the phone, everytime time.

So maybe i have a glitch or some oddball circumstance, but ive seen post about the unlock method failing, and ive got it to repeat 12 times in a row, so im gonna go ahead and leave it unlocked for the time being.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Which version of RSD lite are you using? I've been able to relock 198_7 with nopudding using RSD lite 5.6.

[Motorola Photon 4G] frigid:
You flashed the system.img via fastboot flash system system.img?
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
used the moto fastboot cmds to install it didnt work.

so... i just sbf'd to 198_7 tried to get root again using same methods this time the mtofastboot method gives me failed to boot 4 starting rsd mode and wont boot

used these cmds...

moto-fastboot flash system system.img

going to sbf to 198_7 and see if im still unlocked if not going to unlock again then try again to reroot dont know what im doing wrong but things not working out so well scared im about to ruin my phone

sp the sbf went through don see the unlocked banner at start up anymore guessing it killed my unlock guess back to square one

*update*so im finally unlocked and have a custom rom that is rooted and cwm recovery took along time but finally got it right big thanks to everyone that helped .i followed these steps...

used rsd to sbf 198_7 then i unlocked using qbking video and this thread then i put red cwm recovery on my phone then i flashed jokerstockrev1. everything working great no fc issues or any problems ive seen as of yet.....thanks again

[PUDDING] Photon/Electrify Pudding bootloader unlock [Updated: 12/10/2011]

Pudding Updated today but no changlog for today

whats different?
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
He posted a test pudding for the Electrify.

The one for the Photon worked great until we (Electrify) had an over air update to 2.3.5 that relocked the bootloader and need a new fix. I supplied him with the engineering copy of the new Sprint 2.3.5 also so this fix will work when the Photon updates later.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
Same for me.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
After you get these errors, to reboot back its just pull the battery and thats it right?
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
yes you just pull the battery and the phone reboots but fastboot stills gives you the not implemented error so no unlock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:

To be thurogh I tried this again. Got the same error as soon as I hit start in rsd. This time I went through the rest of the process. When I tried the fastboot OEM unlock it gave this.

INFOOEM unlock was not implemented.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
What about trying it in Moto Phone Portal mode maybe?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
How would you do that? The phone has to be off and in rsd mode and fastboot mode.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
at some points the phone is on, and plugged into the computer. from what the video shows....
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
To flash an RSD .sbf file, you have to be in RSD mode, period...
[Motorola Photon 4G] 87racer:
Did it work for the electrify update or are we still waiting?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:

Any suggestions?
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Are you running the USCellular Electrify or Sprint Photon? The link at the bottom labeled 235 is for the Electrify with new updated bootloader only! The file labeled pudding is for the Photon and Electrify pre 2.3.5 update.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BigRitz:
none of the links for the mopho are working how do I get these files ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jepod:
I have this problem, or at least similar. I have the Photon 4G and when I try to flash either the pudding or nopudding sbf file, i get the following on the screen:

SVF:108:1:2

Failed to Boot 3

Starting RSD Mode

SVF:106:1:2

sec_exception: b655, eddc, eb

This also happens when I try to flash the full 154_5 sbf and the 198_7 sbf too. I am currently using RSD Lite 5.6 and I have tried 5.5 and 5.3, resulting in the same problem.

Does anyone have any ideas? I tried to do a Google Search for the exception but it just comes up with Chinese websites...
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
I hate to tell you but you might just done something real bad flashing the 235pudding!! As listed more than once on the first post this is for the Electrify with the 2.3.5 update ONLY. You might by flashing this pudding installed the new LOCKED base that WILL NOT allow you to install an older rom! I do not think Sprint has any 2.3.5 roms that this base will even allow to be installed. You will likely have to have someone pull apart the new UScell sbf and rewrite it for Sprint or hope the patch when it is finished will allow you to go back.

---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:29 PM ----------

I just talked to the developer and he is uploading a new full UScell 2.3.5 sbf file with the old base to see if we can trick the phone back to the old base tomorrow.

I told him about the issue that the few that flashed the Electrify pudding on the Photon are having so he will try to fix this also. If this full sbf works for us on the Electrify then he can make one for the Photon and you guys are back to good.

If it does not work the ones that flashed this test 235pudding.sbf on the Photon are in a tight spot and the only thing I can think of is ask Joker to see if he can create a Rom for you that will work. He has the Sprint 2.3.5 files and is working on a rom with the updates.

Any other spots to get these files from, broken links on the first page.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Supergoodsmitto:
+1 anyone else having problem with the links?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jepod:
I don't want so sound ungrateful for your help and advice but I have read, reread and reread again the original post and no where on there does it say anything about the 235pudding file listed at the bottom of the post to be for the Electrify only. It now makes sense to me that it would be the case and I see the error in my ways but a bit more clarification would be great. I don't think I would be the only one flashing the wrong file especially with some/most of the file links on the OP not working.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
Look at the words just above the 2.3.5pudding file at the bottom of the first post. It specifically states the file below is for the electrify.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jepod:
I can't believe I missed that multiple times... Thanks for pointing that out.

Now I will go sit in a corner and think about what I've done (flashed that onto my Photon...)
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
I understand how it is easy to miss when links are down. I would have done the same if I was new to Motorola flashing or just figured newer is better right.

the2dcour is working hard on this new lock but it is a ugly one to say the least. This new lock for the Electrify resigns the phone to Electrify only when it was Photon/Electrify among other things. We just tried implementing the pudding bootloader into the full sbf file to try to bypass the checks and allow the oem unlock command to work but the sbf failed mid flash and didn't unlock the bootloader.

What error on your phone do you get when you try to flash a Photon sbf file? Just so we know if it is still being seen as a Photon or not and what error do you get when you reboot right now?

Also give me a minute and I will give new links for the old pudding.sbf and what ever else I have.

Actually got my phone to reboot and finish unlocking. Then had an issue with it rebooting after the unlock was finalized. After that it didnt want to start up again, pulled the battery, plugged it into a charger, no luck. left the battery out for a while and finally it started up again. Showed "unlocked" at the top and when it booted I went through the setup. But now its not starting up again. Any ideas?
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
Sorry Guys no good news yet for the Electrify 2.3.5 yet. We tried to take the full stock 2.3.5 sbf and insert pudding at the core to bypass the checks but that sbf fails mid flash. The odd thing is that according to RSD it flashes group 42 and goes to 47 before crashes the flash. 42 is bootloader so it should have change the bootloader but it doesn't stick when it crashes.

I have not heard from the2dcour after going over the results. With it being the holidays I have not contacted him yet either but will on Monday if I don't hear from him before then to see if he has had a chance to think of another possibility that might get us back to unlocked.
[Motorola Photon 4G] gr33nd3vil:
I wish joker would throw his knowledge in i know we can brick but you cant win without trying...
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
so if 42 is bootloader and it flashes, whats 47?
[Motorola Photon 4G] seesser:
I don't know.. When I was giving him the details of what the RSD was displaying he said that group 42 was bootloader. The sbf being flashed was the full 2.3.5 with the pudding preinstalled. Some how after the group 47 it goes to reboot and you get an error and failed. So either the design of the bootloader is changed in the 2.3.5 update or there is some kind of check that catches the different file while flashing.

I just hope the2dcour can figure this one out or he can pull some help from someone that has solved this type of problem.
