Currently I'm running one of the froyo leaks and I understand that if I decide to sbf and do the ota (still not sure if there is a benefit) then I wouldn't be able to use the previous nandroids because the bootloader changes. But while reading another thread somewhere there was a guy that updated with the 2.2 full sbf but he said his bootloader stayed at 30.01. So I was wondering if the bootloader number stays the same is that the only thing that matters when it comes to nandroids?

I have yet to see a 2.2 SBF released into the wild yet. anyone seen it?
There is a system only sbf that is for OTA2.2 have heard a few people that had good luck with it. Rootzwiki has all the info on it

woah.. what is this .. $BF you speak of??
its a unicorn of the intertubes.
System only SBF didn't work it would appear to be using the old bootloader and only the full one uses the new bootloader.
I have used the 2.2 SBF that TBH released and I can say it does work. Keep in mind that its only a System SBF and wont fix all your problems.

I am not clear on what would be expected after flashing a system sbf instead of a full. Also, I have been seeing some comments advising people to go to the rooted deodexed OTA version from 2.3.9 or 2.3.13. What would be the benefit with the currently locked bootloader and no full sbf?
I tried to install Tranquility but was not deodexed and they said it would be fine, but it was not. I then tried a reset which went to 2.1 instead of 2.2 and bricked the phone. I'm told that the full SBF would fix that issue since it works off of a new bootloader.
I did the same thing I've been looking everywhere for information on a full 2.2 sbf, but I can't find anything. I'd just like to know an eta, but I know with leaks we usually can't ever be certain. I guess my phone's bricked for the long haul.
I want to get off 2.3.13 and go to back to OTA updates, Ive tried searching and finally gave up........I want to download a SBF to get me back to stock so i can get the latest version. I believe my phone was on 2.2 OTA, bootloader version is 30.03.
I have RSD 4.8, Im rooted, have root explorer.
Long story short I deleted some factory .apk's and I flashed this SBF (2.3.13) to update OTA......not realizing it wouldnt fix my problem. Learned my lesson and to turn them to .bak's next time.
please help!
If it's some bloatware you can always get it back on the moto page

I have all the bloatware on and working.......i think that 2.3.13 is one of the leaked versions and it wont allow me to OTA update......it doesnt even show me an update is available now with the 2.3.13 build
If you're on the froyo leak, you need to flash back to 2.1, then take the OTA updates
If you are on boot loader 30.03, then you need to flash the sbf 2.3.15
oops, didn't see the bootloader was posted, my mistake, 2.3.15 is the correct sbf
I thought there was some bootloader problem thats why i put the info in the post.
Thank you guys, can someone PM me some info on where to find the SBF for 2.3.15.........Ive had no luck googling it.
now officially bricked the phone trying to fix this.
Im in need of some serious help here. I can still flash SBFs but it says mem-map blank service req'd. I downloaded the SBF from
from phoxus gift 2
I have no idea what to do now

+1 on that
I'm planning on putting CM7 on my Defy, but before I do that I want to make sure I can go back to the original OS.
The problem is, I can't find a full SBF for my current ROM version (T-Mobile US 34.4.9, build 3.4.2-107_JDN-9) to use if something goes wrong. My Defy came with this when I bought it, so presumably I can't downgrade to an Eclair SBF and update from there. I've found the two other official Froyo SBFs though: the 3.4.2-107_JDN-3 and 3.4.2-107_JDN-4 SBFs. I read that the -3 one is a dev build and doesn't easily update, so I don't want to use it. But I'm not so sure about the -4 SBF. Can I just flash that with RSD and then use an OTA update to get back to my -9 build back?
I'm very new to this (first post!) so please tell me if I'm wrong.
Never mind, I found out I was wrong. The -4 SBF is a leak too. But the official Eclair SBF (6.36) has the same CG version as the Froyo ROMs, so I can just use that.

I know, this is a really old post, but I have the same exact situation (except I want to try CM10 not CM7) and want to make sure I can go back to my stock T-Moble Froyo if something goes wrong. Can anyone confirm that going back to Eclair and then doing the OTA update back to Froyo works? I've seen other posts indicating that there are problems with this method.
I want to sell my atrix realy soon and i was worried about a couple of things
My atrix's bootloader is rooted, and i have CM7 installed but i want to restore it to stock settings before i sell it
I was thinking of installing a rom like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1195922 to restore everything, even the recovery imagine
My main concern is that if the buyer tries to update his phone from inside the OS over OTA, will it brick the device? And what do you suggest i should flash/do to return the phone to full stock?(I guess it would be fine to leave the bootloader unlocked, no?)
Thanks
First, this is a question, which belongs in the question and answer section. Second, your bootloader isn't rooted. Its unlocked. Your phone is rooted. Third, this question has been asked and answered so many times I honestly can't remember how many. However, ill give you the simple answer. Go to the development section to the firmware superthread. Download the GINGERBREAD 2.3.4 Sbf and flash it with rsd lite. It will make it appear as if yer bootloader is locked again and will put everything back to stock.

i meant unlocked, not rooted typo, and isn't it risky to do that?
Yes, it is risky to do, even the SBF file for stock GingerBread that includes the pudding unlock has been reported to have hard bricked a few phones (but usually works).
To be safest, I would suggest hitting up the fruit cake thread in the development section, and installing a GingerBread fruit cake. Your phone will still say "unlocked", but it will be running Motorola's Stock GB release.

As the title suggests, i honestly have tried searching etc for my answers. But being a noob i cannot make sense of what to do.
Basically i have a t mobile UK atrix, i unlocked bootloader, flashed CWM and flashed Darksides ROM through the recovery.
I now want to go back to T- Mobile Stock completly were i can safely update officially without hard bricking my device . (if possible remow unlocked bootloader and CWM)
Please in desperate need of help
Once you unlock your bootloader, you can't lock it back -- there's a physical switch in your phone that gets broken once you issue the fastboot oem unlock command. However, you can get back to stock by installing the appropriate "fruit cake" for your phone. Once you have done that, the phone will be able to OTA update, if that's what you want to do. You can find those files in the dev section.
Thank You for your reply, will it also be able to update via motorola update software on pc ?
and do you have any recomendation for which fruit cake i shoudl install for a stock T-Mobile UK Atrix
i really cannot find the Fruit Cake i need to flash for a T-Mobile UK atrix ??? please help
Since Samcripp made the fruit-cake maker app, you could definitely request that someone make it for you. Please don't do that in the dev section, unless you want to get flamed lol.
Iv'e requested in the fruit maker thread, im currently on darkside 4.0 so would it really be so dangeroud to flash it via another method to a stock t mobile rom on 2.3.4? instead of fruitcake
Nope u can flash the 2.3.4 sbf. But nothing prior to that.

Like phalantx said you can flash sbf for t-mobile and you will get rid off unlocked in the top left corner. I know it would brick at&t mobile but tmob uk is safe.
edit//
YOU CAN FLASH 2.2.3 SBF even if you got 2.3.4 atm. I did and all worked great. I sent it back for warranty and they accepted ( broken digitizer). I didn't read phalanx post properly.
REMEMBER YOU DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. I TAKE NO BLAME FOR BROKEN MOBILE. JUST SHARING MY EXPERIENCE.

I may have read over the answer to my question already, but why are you going from DarkSide to stock?
and if it is to get the official update, why not just flash one of the new 2.3.6 roms or wait for an updated darkside?
