[Motorola Photon 4G] LocoRobo:
This will also unroot, relock bootloader, and send phone back to stoock rom, but if you have a backed up rom then they can all be reversed easily.

I am new to this and this will be my 1st post so bare with me. I've tried to make the difficulty very easy for beginners because I'm a beginner.

Yesterday I Bricked my phone trying to unroot and stock my Photon. I was

searching and trying different techniques to unbrick it for 7 HOURS!!!:mad: So I put a bunch of stuff together to get to this...

Requirements:

1.Motorola Photon 4G

2.PC

3.Backup ROM on PC or External SD Card (If you don't have one backed up then find a ROM that supports Motorola Photon 4G

4.Android SDK on PC:developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

How I unbricked my phone:​

Charge your battery to 100% if you can before starting

1. Install one of the SBF files with RSD Lite on (this will take you back to stock, which means this will unroot your phone and relock your bootloader if it's unlocked. But they both can easily go back to rooted and unlocked)

Follow the directions:youtube.com/watch?v=J94VcWk-CJc&feature=relmfu

2. After thats done try to restart your phone

If it doesn't boot all the way up then don't worry...

Turn your phone off by taking the battery out.

3. Go on your PC go to the folder of your backup rom (or take your external sd card out of your phone and put that into the PC and copy the backup somewhere on the PC then put the sd card back into your phone) and you should have the following files inside the folder of the backup you chose... "boot.img" and "recovery.img" Copy those files to the Android folder in your C: directory. C:/Users/(name of your PC/Android) mine would be in the C:/Users/LocoRobo/Android directory, yours will be different. (if yours is not in that directory then you will have find where you put it or where android sdk extracted it to)

4. Hit the "start" button on PC then type "cmd" into the search box then you should see a program at the top that says 'cmd.exe' open that.

5. You should see a line that says C:/Users/(the name of your PC) that's good. (if your Android folder (or android-sdk folder) is not in that location then you'll have to find out where it is and navigate to it on cmd) now type "cd Android" (or "android-sdk" if you don't have a folder name android) in the command box.

Now we will start.

6. While phone is off and go into fastboot mode (hold the vol. down key and the power key at the same time until you see 'fastboot' on the top of your screen) once you're their, hit the vol. up key, then you should see something on your screen like "entering fastboot protocol support" (I really don't remember) now connect your phone to your PC.

7. Got back to cmd that you have open in your PC. Type in the following commands into the command box (beginner note: hit enter after each command):

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot -w

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

8. You're phone will reboot and it should power all the way up!!!:)

Now if you want to reroot and reunlock your phone then follow these steps as well. (this will also get you back your service as well)

9. When your phone first reboots it will go into setup and stuff, just skip everything except the google account login.

10. Watch and follow these video's instructions (doesn't matter which order):

Reunlock:youtube.com/watch?v=BwRjFrzClBs

11. Now download Rom Manager from the market and go into the app and hit "flash clockworkmod recovery" Now hit "reboot into recovery" go into recovery and restore your backup (a working one of course)

And That's all folks!!! If you like and it works please hit thank you or whatever! Any questions ask and i'll try my best to answer them (I'm still new to this).

Oh yeah and thanx to QBKing77 for the videos.
