I just want to remove the clockworkmod recovery to regular or stock recovery? I found the info for EVO 4g and it said not to use for anything else. Could someone, please tell me how to remove clockworkmod recovery and change it back to stock?
First- this applies if you are on 2.2 ota- not 2.1 or leaked 2.2
The easiest way now might be simply starting from scratch. The 2.2 ota sbf was released last night so you can use it to restore your phone to factory state. You will need the SBF and the latest version of RSDLite. Google...
VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01
and something should come up. It is a large file. 430mb or so. (unzipped)
Also google rsdlite 4.8 it is not a very large file. I have never done the sbf before- but there is a guide on the droid x rootzwiki...
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html
WARNING!!! make sure you are using the FULL SBF for 2.2! there is a sytem sbf for 2.2 that you don't want and there is the 2.1 sbf that you definitely don't want.
There may be just a simple uninstall- but I don't know how. I am a newb. Maybe a veteran will chime in with some help?
Thank uou.
I was able to do that lastnight. before I got home from work, I downloaded SBF file with myDX. It took me an hour. By 8:00 pm my phone was rooted again without clockwork mod.

Cool. Since I have never done it before- did you just follow the rootzwiki guide? And was it pretty straight forward? And- how long once you actually started RSDLite did the process take (assuming you used RSDL)?
thanks.
It wasn't painful. I used rsd lite 4.8. I searched for info on 4.8 but everything is on 4.7, even on rootzwiki . On 4.7 you are suppose to move an .ini file to another place. I saw a similar file but without the .ini extension. I thought maybe this is one of the improvement of 4.8 over 4.7. You also have to do the bootloader thing. The whole process took about less than 10 minutes. I was surprised that nothing on the phone was erased other than titanium backup. Wallpaper and Launchpro's settings were still intact.

Alright, I wanna make sure I know how to do this, just in case.
If I need to fully unroot my phone and restore it to the way that I got it from Verizon Wireless, do I use the SBF from here? Just wanna make sure because I might need to bring in my Droid 2 in to Verizon within the next few days :\
Yup, that's the one. You'll also need RSD Lite 4.8 or 4.9 and a charged battery. Don't try flashing the SBF with a drained battery as you'll end up with a phone that's not flashed, won't charge, and can't be flashed until you get a charged battery.

Yes if you have the 2.3.20 update (you should by now) then you need the 2.3.20 sbf. you can use two different ways to flash the sbf to your D2. You can do it in windows with RSDlite or you can do it in linux with the sbf_flash script. Don't have linux you say? well I made an ubuntu livecd that can be ran on any computer for a linux environment with adb and the sbf_flash file on it. All you need to bring is a CD to burn it to and the sbf file (couldn't include due to space issues) on a flash drive. Follow thistutorial for linux and thisone for windows. I've used the linux version myself even though I'm on windows right now. It's just a lot easier to do and you don't have to worry about driver issues or having the right version of RSDlite (some versions don't detect the phone as well for some people).
Also if you do use the windows tutorial. Just make sure you have the right SBF the rootzwiki one is outdated.
I'd read both tutorials twice just to be sure you know what you are doing before you get into it.
Alright cool. Yeah I have Linux so I'll just be doing it off of there.
Will this also take off any rooting at all and the ClockworkMod recovery?

Yep back to stock before that stuff was installed. But your backups will still be on your sd card so if you decide to get tweaking again you can just reroot and reinstall bootstrap and restore from a backup to a ROM that has the 2.3.20 version.
Remember to update the baseband with the update file (before rerooting) as noted in the ubuntu thread if the sbf_flash script fails to update the baseband.
Is making a nandroid backup of your stock image first then restoring it and deleting bootstrap not the same?
Just need some clarification here, I know sbf will pretty much flash phone back to factory settings but are there really much traces when doing the process I mentioned?

Yeah there are traces which is why it's recommended before flashing some ROM's that you should SBF or risk getting some fun bugs. I don't know what all residual stuff is left but I know that it can cause problems.

Alright, so I'm doing the sbf_flash script from my Linux computer. It recognizes my phone whenever I do adb devices. So, I turned off my phone, then turned it back on while holding the up arrow, so now its a the bootloader screen, D2.37. It says Battery OK, OK to Program, and that the transfer mode is USB. So I run the command to flash 2.3.20, and I get an error saying Segmentation fault. So, where do I go from here?

Are both the SBF and the sbf_flash file in your home folder?
Yep, as they should. I just said to hell with it though, and used your LiveCD.
Cool if you aren't already back up and you have any issues just post in there so I can be notified instantly.
Sorry guys I searched and searched but the keywords are too common and giving results not suited for my situation.
I'm new at this so help is appreciated.
My Droid X is running 2.3.15MB810 Android 2.2 (came like this when I bought it)
I did 1 Click root (doroot)
I removed some bloatware, and froze some with Titanium Backup.
I've since unfrozen the bloatwares, and reinstall what else I could remember.
Now I can't do OTA update.
Now...which route should I take from here? What's the cleanest route to take taking future upgrades in mind without having to do multiple patches?
I have the the_gift.zip (Android 2.1?) Should I flash that sbf first?
Or...
Should I flash the 2.3.320 sbf, then update?
Flash the 2.3.15 sbf and then do the OTA.
the_gift.zip that I downloaded is 2.3.13 I believe. Where can I get 2.3.15?
thanks again
It's called the the_gift2.zip
Head here
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Main-Page/Droid-X-Full-2.2-SBF.html
Or you can go here
http://www.928droid.com/DroidX.htm
Download the "Droid X Official OTA 2.2 Froyo 2.3.15 "Back to Stock"" file (be sure to select the odexed version)
D.
thanks debaucher,
The first link gave the full SBF, but the 2nd link is only a 'patch' only I believe..just FYI for others.
Much!!!! appreciated. I try not to modify too much to avoid hassles like this since my original Droid. But even freezing bloatware causes problems. Sigh...
Is it possible/safe to go BACK from 2.3.320 leak to stock 2.3.15 if I use RSDLite to sbf?
I had to ask because according to this:
mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-x-discussion/5633-droid-x-2-3-32
there is NO way to go back to 2.3.15. But what if now that I have the 2.3.15 full SBF?
Nope there is no way to go back. Once you are on 2.3.32 or 2.3.340 you can only go forward. However the sbf for 2.3.32 works on 2.3.340
thanks...making progress..thanks everyone.
Now I just SFBed I'm on 2.3.320..trying to patch to the 2.3.340 but the RSDLite application is telling me 'failed'
What to do? Rebooted and tried several times.
UPDATE:
Ok Windows 7 giving me too many problems. Moved to Windows XP and 2.3.340 SBF with RSDlite worked.
But now..why am i getting a 'roaming' indicator? Is there any separate baseband I need to load. I'm on BP_C_01.09.07P
Ok..finall update:
Had to reactivate the phone with *228..
All is good now..thanks for the file links guys.
Glad you got it all sorted out.
In your original post you did not mention being on 2.3.320 so I did not think to mention the warning (about going back to 2.3.15).
Also, there are a LOT of downloads on the 2nd link I gave you and the one I told you to download will put your phone (if not already at 2.3.320) back to 2.3.15 "stock" and odexed so you can get the ota update.
(I prefer the sbf method... but some have problems which is why I gave the 2nd link)
D.
ok so after the new ota update my phone was running slower so i flashed it back to VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01.sbf or at least thought i did. well it says its finished in rsd lite but the phone is stuck on boot loader with error err:a5,70,70,00,00. Is there a rom i can use to flash to unbrick? would the vrz_a955_2.3.20_1ff_01.sbf work despite being for the d2? any help, ideas, or suggestions would be appreciated.
You must use the 2.3.32 sbf now, its on mydroidworld
thank you very much
since i cant post links just google "droid x 2.3.32 sbf" and its the 1st result
downloading now
ouch.. you went backwards. Never good to go backwards on a DX due to the locked bootloader. A full SBF of 2.3.340 may be your only hope. Unfortunately not available yet.. Is clockwork mod gone too? If not you can try the kernel/system updates that TBH just produced. Here is the link
mod edit from Sleuth
Thanks to mob87, I now understand that the 2.3.32 full SBF can be used. Once complete, install clockwork mod then flash the 4 TBH update.zip files (bootloader, kernel, system, baseband) from the above link to restore your phone to the full 2.3.340 OTA.
Whew. Nice to know we have a safety net on 3.2.340.
end mod edit
yup i am stuck at the bootloader screen
boatloader
30.04

im hoping this works
Droid X: 2.3.32 Full SBF
Team Black Hat does not normally release full sbf files, but today we have received permission to release one. Please do know, that this is not the normal operating procedure and will most likely not be repeated in the future.
and im in the middle of a snow storm and my net keeps going in and out, normally have 20 down and pulling .5 down right now so a hour to dl a simple 200mb file, life is great right now.

2.3.32 sbf works fine if you updated to the OTA so no need for a 2.3.340 sbf
got both downloading now, thank you for you help, now if only i could get some dl speed, lol, i hate snow.
so 2.3.340 would be pointless? the reason i ask is it only has 5 minutes left and the happy_holidays_from_tbh.zip has 27 minutes.
by the way you guys are great and i truly appreciate your help. i cant contribute much but i will give what i can. still a n00b and am learning more and more.
i see now that dl is done 2.3.340 is a update and i cant load the stupid phone so i cant get to bootstrap so im stuck for another 12 mintues till the 2.3.32.sbf is done.
2.3.32
sw update
in progress..
tick tock tick tock
at least i no longer have a brick got the M now and waiting the droid eye, there it is, back in biz. thanks for all the help from everyone. do i need to do anything else now?
You aren't on the official OTA now. If you want to be flash all the patches posted on mydroidworld

Good to know we have a safety net for 2.3.340. Previous post updated with method. Thx!
I got a DX a few months ago, rooted it, etc. About a month ago I decided to go ahead deodex it. Installed CWM and did a backup first, then deodexed. During the process the instructions said to copy the guava.odx file out of the modded fileset, so I did. Everything seemed to work OK, rebooted, been fine since.
Early this week I got the update notice for 2.3.340, so I restored the CWM backup, downloaded the update, and tried to install. The phone rebooted and began installing the update. A few seconds into the install I see what looks like a yellow triangle around the progress bar, and it bails out. Once it finishes rebooting I get a message that the update failed.
I haven't removed any bloatware apps, so I don't think it's that. I suspect it's either 1) that I'm rooted, althoughs others here have updated while rooted; or 2) that guava.odx is missing and I'm not sure where to put it back.
Any ideas on my next step? Grab the 2.2 SBF and start over?
THanks.

Um - sorry. I did read the post wrong.
I am rooted and was able to install. So I don't think that is it. After you rooted - but before you made your back up - did you mess with any system files or remove any bloat ware? You need to have all of that stuff to successfully install the OTA.
I don't remember messing around with anything. I had originally thought I'd remove the bloatware, but ended up not doing that.
Where would I find the stock 2.2 SBF? I can restore that, then update and re-install all of my apps, etc. Can someone also provide the instructions on how to install the 2.2 SBF?
Thanks.
Head over to mydroidworld.com and check out their thread on the update. You can flash it via cw recovery along with the baseband, bootloader, etc.

A full SBF (2.3.320) via RSD cures all then start all over ***MAKE BACK UPS !!!** Then do 2.3.340 via phone.
If you want to really do it right copy your SD to you PC format the SD with your phone and only add back to the SD files you need and know that way you get rid of any old data files that may haunt your phone.
So I hit MyDroidWorld and found the 2.2 SBF thread. Downloaded the file along with the RSD Lite version. Update the Moto USB drivers to the latest 4.8 drivers, and installed RSD Lite. Plugged my X in, making sure it was set for PC mode and Debugging - but it doesn't show up in RSD Lite. What now? Or did I manage to overlook a crucial step?
Thanks.
Found that I had to put the phone into 'bootloader' mode. Did so, and the phone now shows up in RSD Lite. I can select the .SBF file, but the 'Start' button remains grayed out.
<sigh>
It shouldn't be this difficult, should it?
Do I have the wrong .SBF file? The bootloader shows 30.03, so I think that's the correct one for the 2.2 SBF....
Thanks.
Found an approach to flashing the 2.1 SBF here - http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html
This seemed to work (RDS List showed 'Passed' as the final status), but when I go to reboot it is giving me an error. Here's what's on my screen -
Bootloader
30.03
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB
Help! What do I need to do next?
Apparently needed the 2.2 SBF. Flashed it and the phone has re-booted successfully. Whew. What a pain in the a.....!
Thanks.
PS - RSD Lite has a status of 'Please manually power up this phone.', progress is 'Executed; 100%', Result is 'In Process...'. THe phone is powered up, although I do have this odd little blue triangle in the status bar next to the signal strength. If I click 'Close' in RSD Lite I get a message "Application is currently busy. Closing application may DAMAGE the attached device.". Needless to say I'm a little unsure about this. Is it OK to unplug the USB cable and close RSD Lite?
PPS - OK, needed to *228 it. Still not sure about close RSD Lite though...
PPPS - Success! Went ahead and unplugged the USB cable, then closed RSD Lite. Did the 2.3.340 OTA, rebooted, and everything appears to be OK. Need to get my root access back, but that shouldn't be too bad.
2.2 is looking for AttMusic40.apk to continue the installation.
Anyone has this file ?
Thanks
Forget it. Just flash the SBF. But if you really wana then it's attached. Make sure to put in /system/app and don't try to install it from there either just move it and leave it then do the update.
It's not worth the stress. Even though I had the apk I couldn't get past the error. I used the sbf and everything is awesome now.
Thanks guys.
I got past that now it's looking for: BlurSNMessagingEngine.apk
I have no clue how to do a sbf. Don't even know what that is and how to install it.
Are there any tutorials and download link for it?
Until then, how about BlurSNMessagingEngine.apk?
Get the SBF from here: http://modmymobile.com/forums/629-motorola-bravo-general/561492-stock-sbf-file-bravo.html, download RSD Lite, put the sbf file in your C: drive, put your phone into recovery mode, and start flashing. Also, I hope you don't have Windows 7, because RSD doesn't like it.
I'm in this issue too. I backed up (so I thought) all my ATT apps using Titanium. Went to reinstall, and they were all there (with line through), but no actual backup??? Mine too choked on Attmusic40. I download the one from this thread and copied to /system/app. No love, it has a different checksum and fails. This may plague you too.
RSD Lite
I'm pretty new to this too but I can tell you new guys a helpful tip. RSD Lite is the software Motorola uses on their devices to reboot bad SW devices. It's free to download. You have to access Bootloader to get it to work correctly once it's installed on your CPU and running. To do that, power the phone down. Then, power it back up while holding the Volume Up button. That's how I got it going. Once RSD Lite recognizes your phone and you click the button to go, it's pretty automatic from that point on. Just download the SBF. My phone couldn't find AT&T Hotspot Locator.Apk. I realized that I deleted it through Titanium Backup and when I went back to the market to get it, the app itself had been merged into the MyAT&T app. This didn't give me the necessary apk to run the OTA install from AT&T. I even work for the company. Trust the guys up top, the SBF is ten times easier.
