Recently I ordered Motorola 4g from US.... It was with stock Sprint Sunfire OS. System Version : 45.4.13.MB855.Sprint.en.Us Model MB855 Android 2.3.5 Baseband N_01.29.10R Webtop 1.2.0-180 Kernel 2.6.32.9dnt648@fl36bld22 #2 Build 4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_13 NOW ITS DEAD.... running in RSD Mode So what I did, I was trying to install custom rom on that. Steps I had taken Rooted phone via installing SuperUser and various rooting methods like ClickOnce, Photon -Torpedo but no one seems successful , while executing I got errors everytime. But after day or two I came to know about that my phone is rooted. As I was getting SuperUser popups on root operations. Then I installed CWM and tried to install the ROM from there but everytime I got stucked at Yellow Triangular icon (recovery mode). Repeated step one, rooting process and unlocking the bootloader by applying pudding.rar and fastboot commands and every time i got the error and Starting RSD Screens, but anyhow my phone recovers itself to its original boot state afetr pulling out battery and manually restrating. Finally one day I use some other Recovery Tool , i am unable to recall the name. It installed and rebooted successfully in the recovery mode. I then wipe the dalvik cache, wipe factory reset and then tried to installl the custom rom that MIUI 2.68 i think . I was happy to see some designer screens on my phone and then it said rom installed successfully. I then reboot my phone and found it in the Failed To Start2 , Starting RSD mode I tried various way to restore... Installing pudding.rar using RSD lite but everytime I got sec_exception : sec_exception : b655, eddc,eb I then tried reinstalling SBF : 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_7-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US.sbf and sunfire-2.3.5-4.5.1A-1_SUN-254_4 but while enumerating phone I got error sec_exception febe 4e 4e I have also tried nopudding4u.sbf but the same result. Please,, help me and my phone out .. as its going to be more than a week... i feel handicaaped... Please guide me through the step by step , which file and when and please do provide the links of the files to download. **Update OTA with 2.3.5 before murdering.....**
To be honest, you might have better luck getting step-by-step instructions on how to fix this issue by checking out the Photon forum on XDA. That said, as far as I know you can not unlock the bootloader on the 2.3.5 build; the update closed the exploit used to do so. You can install "locked" ROMs using a bootstrap method, and you might be able to flash a stock SBF the same way to fix your problem. Anyway, check the various threads in the Android Development section, and if they don't help then try posting in the Q&A section. Hopefully someone there can give you detailed help on solving your problem. Good luck!
I have been in XDA already. Asked the same question there too. But no reply from the devs. If you can guide me how can I restore my phone back then it would be great help..... I feel handicapped , bro Also , I want to know , 1. do my phone have its original stock files or i have to fix all the files 2. Can I install custom rom further i have to remain on the locked one. 3. My phone is from USA and I am using this in INDIA, am I able to use the phone here , or do I need to perform a SIM unlock too... 4. or,U want to say Locked means the locked bootloader not the locked GSM radio.
The GSM radio is unlocked for overseas use. Don't contact Sprint. I have used mine in both Ecuador and Panama, with local SIM cards purchased for $4.00 in Ecuador (voice only) and $8.00 in Panama (Voice and data). Tom
