You might need to flash with the 2.3.15 sbf first. I was rooted and themed and the update kept failing. After the sbf, I had no issues with the update.

First time poster and extremely unknowledgeable about how to do almost anything except rely on the technical prowess and patience of the developers and other contributors here. That being said, I too have a rooted droid x (using z4root) and cannot get the ota update to work. I tried unrooting using z4root and downloading + installing only to have it fail.
If someone could please post a link or an explanation (in very simple terms, please), how to both obtain and install whatever this sbf is mentioned above, I would appreciate it quite a bit.
Thanks in advance.

Heres a link I found that may help some of us but, as I've changed the bloatware after rooting, I'm intimidated by the warnings contained on the post.
Please use this at your own risk and understand I have nothing whatsoever to do with the posts contents.
I'm just going to wait untilsome kind and patient soul takes pity on me and explains what to do in plain english with no acronyms.

When you ask for help I would advise for you to at least type in complete sentences so someone can try to understand what it is you're saying. I find it extremely annoying when people ask for help, but their questions are not clear or concise; just a bunch of sentence fragments.
As for everyone else I was having trouble early and just SBF'd. It was the only way for me. Running 2.3.15.
Is this 2.3 gingerbread?

make sure you don't sbf to something lower then your current version i.e. 2.3.32 > 2.3.15 is a no go. (results in brick i think) also make sure your bootloader is the right version and etc. etc.
Hi i just recently bought a motorola droid x. It had 2.1 android on it. So i uploaded the 2.2 spl file thorugh rsdlite. I just found out the bootloader version is 12.03. Now i tried flashing 2.1 and 2.2 both. after it says manually restart the phone. i restart it and it gets stuck on motorola screen. i tried clearing cache and factory reset it keeps getting stuck at the motorola screen. can somone please help me out here :/. Please help asap
Not sure about the bootloader as 12.03 . When I had 2.1 the bootloader was 30.01, then it changed as updates for 2.2 and finally 2.2.1 . Now the bootloader is 30.04 .
Do a little more research before flashing this, but the newest official built for a SBF file is 2.3.340. You can find it by google. This will change your bootloader to 30.04 and bring you up to date.
Good luck.
What OS are you using?
+1 on the bootloader. That is an odd one, unless that phone didn't originate in the U.S. I think the chinese x had a bootloader of 80.something.
I would start here however:

Well the battery died while i was trying to run it again. And it wont charge so i just used the splice wire trick. Ill get back to u guys on tht one., either way i tried googling the bL but nothing came up
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Well upon further research i found out it was a preproduction droid x :/... i can not find the sbf for it anywhere. Can anyone please help me with this? I'd really appreciate it
bump ^ anyone able to help regarding this please?
are you using the full sbf? not system only sbf
I am not positive, but you should still be able to use the 2.3.340 full sbf to get up to date. You just can't use an sbf to go backwards.

im downloading the files right now, but i dont think the boot loader gets updated when i try i tried once already but its worth another shot or as many as it takes :/
Full sbf didnt work its a pre-production phone

god i hate this 5 minute anti spam rule...
When the Droid X first came out I rooted and haven't changed a thing since... I am running System Version.2.3.15.MB810.Verizon.en.US with Android Version 2.2 rubiX Focused 0.5
I was thinking that if I did an update, things would run quicker and smoother. Because I am rooted, I am not able to install the OTA to .340... Is starting from scratch the best thing to do in this case? Can I SPB to 2.3.340 if I'm currently running 2.3.15? If I unroot and try the OTA will I brick the phone? I'm not 100% sure where I should begin... Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
If I should have been in a different thread I apologize in advance...
First you should find out your bootloader version, then SBF to 2.3.15, and take the OTA.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Thanks infazzdar,
The bootloader is 30.01
Finding the right download is tough... any ideas?
It still might be in the TBH app if you bought it.
Wish there was a place that had all SBF files
I didnt...
I have gone cross-eyed looking through all the forums in regards to SBF-ing back to 2.3.15
If anyone could point me the the direction to the file I'm looking for you may be a lifesaver...

I have the 2.3.15 sbf file, but I believe that it is for bootloader version 30.03.

Found It, but thank you for getting back...
I found the file and sbf to 2.3.15, the did OTA to .340, then did another OTA to 4.5.605... I tried installing the DarkSlide Rom and it turns out I went to far... I prolly should have stuck with .340
Hello,
I bricked my phone trying to downgrade from the 2.3.4 update to my R2D2. (I knew better, but what can I say?) I currently need a stock Verizon 2.3.4 sbf for either Droid 2 or (preferrably) the R2D2 to flash back to. I have a spare phone I will run to my office tomorrow to use for now, but I really want to unbrick by beloved R2D2...
The official ROMI'm looking for is 4.5.622.A957.Verizon.en.US
****SOLUTION POSTED AT THE END*****
The sbf has been leaked, and is available:

Where did you get it?
Not to be unappreciative, but I understand that the 2.3.4 sbf for the Droid 2 R2D2 wont be available until it gets leaked from VZW, and that it doesn't even exist yet for the Droid 2--do you have a way to get it?
If you do, you'll be my hero!!

I have the gingerbread sbf for the droid2
Gingerbread 2.3.3 will not work-MUST be 2.3.4
Thanks for the offer, but the Gingerbread 2.3.3 floating around the Internet will not work- the SBF MUST be 2.3.4, what was just realeased as an OTA 1 week or so ago.
Now, if someone stumbles across this thread, please note you CANNOT "downgrade" the R2D2 after the 2.3.4 OTA, as Verizon also updated the bootloader. If you try to downgrade to 2.3.3, you will brick the phone until the 2.3.4 sbf gets leaked.
From what I have seen, I am one of 3 people to create bricked R2D2s trying this, now waiting for a 2.3.4 leak to bring his/her phone back from the dead.
If you are indeed looking for the VZW 2.3.3 sbf, stockroms.net has it.

Thats 2.3.3
Not 2.3.4
So it's actually not amazing.
Still no movement on this?
My bricked R2D2 is looking very sad, sitting with no battery in it on the side of my desk...

Ok since no one is answering Ill say this.
You CANNOT SBF back. The 2.3.4 update changes your bootloader. None of the SBFs will work anymore once you update. This was told the day it was released. You will also lose Root ability.
Sorry but until someone can overcome the bootloader or the current SBF is leaked you peeps are stuck.

Thank you, Captain Obvious, for restating the subject of this thread..
Not trying to be an ass, just wondering why you installed the update knowing that you would lose root and couldn't SBF back.

A. My batt life and stability tanked after the update, and I was fed up
B. Didn't think it through
C. I thought I could easily download the most recent sbf and reflash-but didnt check first to see its wasn't available.
D. I have a spare phone, so knew if I bricked it, I would be OK
E. I'm not shocked or mad, I'm already married, so enough told-you-so's
Same problem
Why doesn't Verizon just release the sbf? Whats their reason for not releasing it, Those bastards!!

Ummmmm they dont want people to be able to root their phones.
Don't expect the sbf anytime soon as the Droid 2 is dead and pretty much nobody cares about it. :/
That's why I love me some MIUI. Also why Moto is on the bottom of my list for future upgrades. Sony is looking dead sexy about now.
Please Keep an Eye Peeled--Lots of People need this
Well this thread and about 4 others all drill down to the same issue.
We are all looking for a leaked 2.3.4 sbf for Verizon Droid2 or R2D2. Please all you people in the know keep your eyes peeled for a leak, and post the second it appears (if ever).

Hi everyone,
Please bear with me here but here is the full error I get when I tried to SBF back to 2.3.20 using RSD Lite 4.8 and the SBF file name is 955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf

I have tried multiple RSD versions, 4.7+patch, 4.8, 5.4, 5.6 and have had no luck getting past this message at all. I am out of places to look for help, any kind of insight would be wonderful! I was running stock GB trying to go back to Froyo prior to going to CM7.
I have read the forum post close to mine but it has the D2.35 BL and I can't seem to find any other info other than "wait till SBF is found" and with Droid2 not being sold/supported much I don't see much hope in this.
What can be done to fix?
I have tried:

Help! After a rollback to the stock firmware 2.2 through 2.3.4 RDS Lite, Motorola Droid 2 has stopped working, but you can bootloader on, it gives error:

You're going to have to wait until the 2.3.4 sbf files leak. I'm in the same boat as you and it's just a waiting game if it ever even gets released.
D2.37
hondateg91 is correct. Sounds like you took the new .621 Gingerbread 2.3.4 update and, like the rest of us, turned your phone into a paperweight by trying to downgrade. It really is a bummer, and a shame on Motorola's behalf. But don't think you're alone. All we can do at this point is hope and pray that 2.3.4 SFB is released, or someone comes up with a way to load an earlier bootloader that will allow SBF'ing the earlier firmwares.
need help to configure my Droid 2 overall by Verizon in French.
hello, I live in France, I bought a motorola Droid 2 Global by Verizon, the phone works properly, the problem is that it is set in English. and I do not know too much about English, I speak French and I'd set the phone in French, please can you help me? it is very important for me to set the phone in French. Thank you in advance for your help.
Droid 2 Fracais
jamesdmx - This thread is about bricked Droid2's (Not Droid2 Global) as a result of trying to "SBF" 2.3.4 Droid2's to an earlier firmware version. In the future, you should create a new thread, in the correct Sub-Forum, as your message is much more likely to gain attention this way, and you are for sure to get better results.
But since I'm such a nice guy, here's what you would do to change the language:
Click the menu button (the bottom right grey square that has an arrow on it)
Go to Settings. It looks like a grey circle gear.
Go to Language and Keyboard. This is 12th option from top and has an "A" icon beside it.
Go to Select Locale. It is the first option.
Unfortunately the Droid2 (at least the one I have) only gives me English and Spanish as language options. Maybe your Droid2 Global will give you the French option.
If it does not, unfortunately at this point, my suggestion would be to look into a custom ROM that has French loaded into it.
My next suggestion would be to start a new thread about this, in the right Sub-Thread "Droid 2 Global General" (URL: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=903). Be sure to include what version ROM is in your phone, etc, so that the Droid2 Global people can better help you.
Whatever you do, though, don't do like me and cook a Droid2 because you didn't do your research before throwing files at your phone.
D2.37 Bootloader
And while I am on this thread, I will throw some ideas out to you guys. Who knows, maybe together we can figure out the "missing pieces" to restoring our phones without the 2.3.4 firmware.
Somewhere in my search, I was able to obtain the D2.35 bootloader in SBF Format. It flashed successfully to my phone.
The good news is, my bricked Droid2 is at D2.35 bootloader. The bad news, however, is that it still will not take the stock or 2.3.3 Gingerbread firmware.
Also, while goofing around, I discovered that the bootloader D2.37 was actually sent down as part of the Gingerbread 2.3.3 update, as the Droid2 I picked up yesterday has 2.3.3 and D2.37 as the bootloader. Since 2.3.3 and 2.3.4, theoretically, share the same bootloader, I don't know why it would refuse to accept the 2.3.3 firmware.
I think there's an "extra piece" of code that has been sent down in 2.3.4 that is superseding the bootloader from proper behavior. Then again, I don't know! But when you add all the facts together, I'm a complete Droid Noob, and I'm sure everything I have posted is stuff all of you are probably already aware of.
With this information in mind, such as successfully rolling the bootloader back to D2.35, maybe there is an "older" bootloader that can be SBF'd to the phone that will allow SBF Flash restriction to be unshackled. I don't know if there is older code than D2.35 out there, as I did not spend the time looking.
PS---The "attachment"?? Just for the LULZ. And yes, it was pretty cool! And I can't wait to do this to my "bricked" Droid2!
I know how to solve, most do not know much about software to achieve
