Okay, quick question. I've made a back up in CWM recovery. (Unlocked, Rooted yada yada) If I RSD the 154 SBF can I flash back recovery? It's home base ROM or would I need to reflash it? Thanks.

I think if you flash any SBF, you'll lose CWM...So you'll probably need to unlock and reflash CWM afterward.
Yeah. I did that . Knew I would have to. I also found running home base with alien theme and doing a restore after sbf I got some fc's and no service. So unless I missed something this isn't possible with the setup I'm running.

Ahhh that sucks...so you tried updating to the latest sbf and then unlocked and flashed cwm and then tried restoring? Sorry if im confused...but I think because home base was based on an older build it probably wouldn't work..just a guess...

Tried it from the 198_7 and the 154_5 builds both failed. And yes you got it.

I remember asking qbking a similar question about alien...he said if I tried updating phone and then tried to flash alien rom there would be problems. I didn't ask for details, and can't be sure what the issues are...did u just want to keep over clock?

I wanted to keep the theme. It wouldn't work with 198_7.

You can flash the de-odexed 198_7 stock based rom and run alien theme over it, cant you?

Tried that. Force close issues

Damn...yeah..well I wish I knew how to theme...i might read up tomorrow..it seems like such a lame thing, but I guess I really liked the menus and the dialer..the blacked out look was sick...this stock blue dialer makes me want to yack.

That is why I am on home base with the Alien theme. I like it. I agree though. The black and green is sweet.

Try this ------->
4.1.83
I think it would be better to just use an SBF to downgrade. Less bugs that way.

If I remember correct, the 1.83 sbf does not wipes the data from the device, so flashing it wont be enough, and flashing the 1.57 or lower is needed.
But there is a good chance I'm wrong...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15218352 has a full 1.8.3 sbf so no need to use an older one
Hi, i have the screen always on motorola logo... this is a hard brick? I can put right my phone?

No your just stuck in a boot loop. If you have cwm you can try a factory reset, or flash an sbf if your on an att atrix. Not sure if there is an sbf for other versions.

Do not do it if you flashed the 2.3.4 update or you will have a hard brick. I would recommend starting from 1.2.6 so you can root.

i have this problem after the installation of
[ROM] AT&T 4.5.91 ★ Gingerbread 2.3.4 ★ Beta #4
If you flashed kenns rom you should be ok flashing an sbf I think it would only brick if you used the other method. If you can get into recovery I would recommend just flashing kenns rom again though should fix it

I had that problem I realized it wasn't working because I downloaded the wrong cwm... I had an older version make sure u get the one by the screen shot that says 6/30 or it'll brick.

i bought my atrix off of ebay, rooted and unlocked the bootloader, then messed up with gingerblur. maybe it was because i had the lastest updates installed on the atrix?

You were supposed to flash through the system recovery app's recovery, but anyways back to your question. If you follow directions on how to do things im sure you'll be fine off, as of now the only way to hardbrick is to sbf back when you have the ota installed,
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Are you sure that your old atrix is hardbricked? Sounds like it would be more of a softbrick unless your old atrix had Gingerbread. Eitherway, it sounds fixable.

Need to use the boot strap recovery, MOTODX_Bootstrap_Signed.apk. Its based off Clockwork. Make sure you only try to flash locked roms though. If you try and flash anything not supported your more than likely going to be on my boat... Softbricked. I was a flashaholic with my Evo, now im a bricked bum looking for light...
Look in Lokifish Mars Sticky on all thing Mopho. It has links to everything you will need in it.
No you cannot flash a custom recovery on a locked bootloader.

I'm in the same boat. I just got a used Photon and it already had the 2.3.5 (45.4.13 254_13) ROM on it. I got it rooted successfully at least, but get the error when trying to install the DERPUNLOCK.SFB file.
Any solutions out there yet? Can the unit be SBF-ed back to 198_7 and then the bootloader unlocked?
(I'm sorry if this is a redundant question, but I haven't found a clear answer and have searched the forums extensively!)
THANKS!

Your only real option is mof2.3.5 unless you want to run a rom that is not supported anymore ie imperium, rocko, skinny. Mofs rom is damn good though. Give it a shot and see what you think.
If your on 2.3.4 go with mofo2.3.5ish if your on 2.3.5, don't flash any roms locked or unlocked. Just be happy your phone works!
The reason being is because will the roms are based on 2.3.4 and since 2.3.5 locked bootloader, anything 2.3.4 based will cause you to soft brick, with no sprint sbf to fall back on. Peetr and mo are actively working on a working sbf for those who are on USC electrify sbf.

Signed boot.img with its modules is needed to install after each locked rom.

Still curious about being able to sbf downgrade to 254_7...
And info GREATLY appreciated.
So after flashing aosp Rom I can't seem to flash anything other than sense 3.6 roms. Why I try I get a constant booting. I'm s-on and also I've noticed the roms with kernel zip built in. The PH98IMG doesn't install on ad card. But zips flashed in recovery do. Also bootfast isn't working either, even tho phone is recognized by computer. Any help would be appreciated on this thanks in advance.

if you can't get to fastboot then you have the zip from another file on there. delete that then in order to get that certain rom to work you have to extract the roms boot.img and fastboot flash on pc.

Personally I don't know if that would help, well....actually I don't see why it wouldn't cuz the s-off process will wipe everything.. I'd say do it and flash somethin fresh, don't nandroid after.. try a sense 4 Rom fresh.. if it still doesn't go id try flashjg another aosp Rom that is known not to cause this problem your havig, then try flashing s4 again.. I'm really curious as to why this is happening.. I'm not sure if any of this would help but these are the steps I personally would take to try and trouble shoot..

Crazy is, the problem seems to be something to do with kernels. I can only flash one all others even funky kernel with install thru fastboot, but the out come is the same. Continuous booting. At this point I don't see S-_OFF will fix the problem either. I ruued twice factory reset and used Scott's ten wipe and clean installs only to in up with the same out come.
