I've not flashed it, but the links are currently working.
There's An App For That
For those of you who don't make it in time to get the SBF before it's taken down, don't worry. If you have the TBH app, you are good to go. Not only do they have the 2.3.32 update, but also the 2.3.32 SBF in case you wish to go back. Thank God for TBH. Way to go guys - don't know what I'd do without you.
Enjoy everyone! You're welcome.
We normally discourage openly posting the content from the TBH app but this is an exception in order to make this file available to anyone who might need it.
Thank you for posting links back to MDW and promoting the use of the TBH app.
Good luck and happy droiding!
does anyone have the 2.3.23 update.zip, all the links are dead on MDW. i got the new 2.3.23 sbf file but need the update.zip so I can get onto 2.3.23
I need that zip too. I was able to sbf to 2.3.32 but the bootloader version stays on 30.01.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
email me if you need the update file, i think it was pulled
You can also get it from the TBH app, with the nice upside of supporting TBH
Does the tbh app have the full. 320 sbf available?

yep

z4 worked for me after i flashed the sbf if it helps anyone.

just flash the sbf without updating, worked like a charm coming from my bricked DX.
remember to pull the battery after you update when the droid x animation begins to boot loop. then hold the home button when booting up again, then data/factory reset from the recovery and select reboot system now.
z4root works, confirmed. just installed Fission 2.3 just minutes from sbf'ing 2.3.23.
It's important to remember that flashing the SBF will not update the bootloader whereas the update.zip will update to 30.04 but will not update the baseband.
That is the primary difference as well as the update.zip being rooted and deodexed with busybox installed.

what baseband? there is a baseband update in one of these? why not do the update.zip and sbf in that case?
i thought p3 posted on twitter there was no baseband update in either of them.
not true, sbf coming from 2.3.15 updated it all.

did you confirm that by going to stock recovery? i have not experienced that myself. only way to update bootloader was with update.zip

The SBF has a baseband update in it, but for almost everyone it won't matter because the baseband hasn't changed from 2.3.15. I think only people still on eclair or the froyo leak were the only ones who are behind on the baseband.

I need help updating to 2.3.340
I'm new to rooting and deoxeding my phone so I apologize If I have alot of questions....
I am currently on 2.3.15 , rooted and deoxed. My phone keeps prompting me to updating to 2.3.340.
Questions:
1. Should/Can I allow the update to take place automatically?
2. Will I lose my root access and will my phone not be deoxed?
3. Do I need to revert my phone back to stock then update automatically?
4. Is there a link on how to update to 2.3.340 when you have a rooted phone?
Any help is appreciated, thanks!
I'm also curious. I'm on the 2.2OTA-Rooted and my phone wants me to update.
1. Should/Can I allow the update to take place automatically? NO!!! not while it is as you have it now.
3. Do I need to revert my phone back to stock then update automatically? YES and be sure to uninstall any program related to rooting your phone before reverting to stock.
Kapi187.. Hope you don't mind if I add some questions to your thread... It seems our questions are running along the same lines.
I too have been reading quite a bit about the upgrading process and am trying to figure out a few things.. Likewise, some of them may sound "noobish" but please bare with me...
My understanding is that the 2.3.34 update is available OTA (I am currently running 2.3.15 as well).. Is it necessary to revert to a stock sbf (what does sbf stand for?)?
A breakdown of my current setup:
system version 2.3.15
Android version 2.2
Running JRummy V1.0 Rom
Odexed
rooted (obviously)
clockwork recovery installed (also obvious)
image available from pre-rom condition
How should I go about updating to 2.3.34? Is it necessary/ is there a purpose? What are the advantages to doing so?
I have a friend with a Nexus One and he doesn't need to update any system version so we have been discussing back and forth trying to understand the droid x/verizon system.
All help is greatly appreciated... And hopefully this will help others.
Not at all p3p... ask as many questions as you can... helps me out too..
I too would like to know what .Sbf and the other one stand for... lol I can't remember what it was...
So after we revert back to Stock.. (any link as to where to find the stock file?) Update automatically... then we follow the same procedures to re-root the phone?

What I would do is SBF using the full .320 file and then do the .340 system only SBF and you will be on the most current version. Then download z4root its a one click root app which will give you root obviously. Then customize your phone to your liking.

Um - if you are running 2.3.15 I would not recommend doing the sbf with the .320 file. I am just trying to be helpful -not a butt.
I would use the full sbf released for 2.3.15 which can be found at...
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Main-Page/Droid-X-Full-2.2-SBF.html
I just posted the guide I used to sbf here for another member...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901934
Here is my understanding of your situation. You are getting prompted for the update. I THINK that even if you said yes and tried to run it - that you would just end up with an error - because the update checks your system to see if all the proper files are there and if they are not it will not run. I think.
So I think the best thing to do is sbf then take the update. You will loose root. and you will not be de-odexed. You will have to reroot. But like the other member said - get z4root (link in the other thread with the sbf instructions) and run it after you do the over the air.
I make no guarantees. Just sharing to the best of my knowledge.

Flashing the .320 full SBF then the sys only .340 SBF would be the same as the .15 SBF to OTA. Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

SBF stands for SmartBroker Data File, but that doesn't matter, it's simply a backup file. It's not necessary to upgrade to .340 unless you use custom ROMs, because anything made for .320/.340 isn't compatible with .15. The Nexus One doesn't have a system version because it's pure android; the android version is the system version. Other phones have a separate system version because the carriers feel the need to bog the phone down with bloatware and their custom launchers.
SBF files can be found here, and make sure you make a backup immediately after you're re-rooted, so you can just restore it to accept the next OTA.

Excellent information! So when utilizing my own backup (or the SBFs presented above), do I need to uninstall clockwork or root before going after the OTA? I am figuring the OTA isn't looking for that information but want to avoid the infamous brick situation at all costs.
No, you can leave everything installed. An SBF is similar to the factory reset disc that comes with computers; it formats everything and then installs the OS on a clean slate. An OTA won't check for root, but it does check for the bloatware. If any of it is missing/renamed, it won't install the update.
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
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
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

After 3 failed attempts to install 2.26.60 on my rooted Droid Pro, and considering the various problems others are having after having successfully installed it, I no longer wish to do so. But, the installation dialog automatically reappears every 12 hours with options to install now or install later. I'd like to delete the installation file, but have not been able to find it with Root Explorer. Has anyone been able to delete it and/or know the path to the file? Thanks, JM
Same thing here, it is very annoying, specially when I have already tried several times without success...
Do you guys think that those who were unable to update their phones will never make it? Maybe Motorola/Verizon will clear the restriction for the next update?
Are you trying to remove the installation file so you dont have to update to 2.26.60 or are you trying to remove the already updated phone's install file?

I have not updated and do not wish to. The installation file produces a nag prompt to either install now, or 12 hours later. There is no option to never install, nor to delete the prompt (such as "do not show again"). I don't care if the update file remains on the machine, I just want to stop the nagging, and I do not intend to update to anything until a major version change (2.3, 2.4, etc) comes along.
Thanks, JMM
If oyu have the bugless beast rom running on your phone peter alfonso has a stopota.zip but with a basic android software, i really dont think you can. im going to check it out for ya, hopefilly ill have an answer in a couple of hours!
Alrighty this is what I found. The file that nags you about the OTA updates is a software file that also runs many more manditory components. So without a custom ROM on your android, (currently the only custom rom is Droid Pro FISSION, with a Beta RC1), is is impossible to avoid the OTA update notification. Sorry bro, thats android for you!

OK, many thanks for trying. It might be worth installing the custom rom just to get rid of it.... not sure.
the custom rom is still in beta, i would wait a bit until a full release comes out. just precautionary. if you could toatlly give me a thumbs up under my post that would be great! thank you!

Why not just flash the SBF, install the update, root with Z4 then continue on with your life.

After pondering this a bit, I wonder if you would be willing to try to get a couple more answers for me -
1) what is the file - name and pathway?
2) what are the "mandatory" components it also runs?
3) In Titanium Backup Pro apps/files list there is "Updater 2.2". What would happen if I froze that with Titanium Pro?
If you can come up with answers great, if not many thanks anyway - JM

Two reasons - 1) I do not want the update, it has caused problems for others that I don't need, and, 2) I cannot flash the sbf because I only have access to PowerPC Macintosh. No windows real or virtual. I've tried to find out if a sbf flash can be done by Mac unix(Darwin) command line from Terminal with bash shell, but no one has responded. Consequently I don't want to update and find out there's a problem because I can't revert. JM
Let me look into those questions.

Hi,
I got the Motorola XT311, updated to android 2.3.5 and managed to get root access using this great thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19133663
I almost got it bricked uninstalling some default apps using titanium backup but I fixed it up. Before taking more risks I'd like to have a complete backup of the ROM just in case... I installed ROM Manager (clockworkmode) but it seems this model isn't supported yet.
Is there any manual way of doing a full ROM backup and restoring it?I can use shell access using adb.
Thanks in advance for your help!

No idea what this model is, but if it's like the other Droid Pro's, typically you can tell Clockwork mod you're using the Droid 2, Droid 2 Global or possibly even the Droid X. Another option is to use the Droid 2 Bootstrapper thats out there.

Well, thats not totally correct. We use the Droid 2 Bootstrapper on the Droid Pro XT610. I just don't know what the difference between the XT311 and the XT610 is. Also, not sure it would brick anything, it kinda just tricks it into rebooting into the clockworkmod recovery vs. regular recovery for that next boot. Its not a permanent recovery replacement.
I rooted my phone motorola xt311, and deleted some system applications. My phone wouldn't start , it is stuck at motorola logo.
What can I do?
i rooted it then installed wrong clockworkmod tried backup up then it shut down and never worked again -.- what to do
